Palumpolum, Felix Heights
"Albion!" shouted a voice and he stepped off to the side to see Commander Blaze of the Abyssal Legion.
"I'm surprised to see you, hiding away, are we?" smirked Albion as he looked at one of his loyalist Commanders.
"I have a report here you may be interested in, you have shown the ability to understand and speak the ancient language that only the Fal'Cie remember, this is because of the genetics in your family" announced Blaze as he stepped forwards with a sour expression as he handed a data pad over "you may be surprised"
"So…" announced Albion as his face took on a sickly tone "I am descended from the Fal'Cie's main goal, in all right I should have the power to destroy Fal'Cie…but I don't, I'll attempt to provoke its awakening"
"Also, we are ready to rebel when is convenient, the Fal'Cie have ruled us long enough, I say!" announced Blaze and Albion nodded as he turned to walk away "what are your commands?"
"I want you to have the fleet head for Asura, a Fortress created by the Ancients in the name of the Eidolon Goddess, the Cavalry are also to go to that location should Cid disappear" nodded Albion and Blaze bowed as Albion walked away.
"Albion!" announced a voice as Albion cut through an alleyway and Rosch stepped out of the alleyway "what are you doing!"
"Helping L'Cie or do you want a more definite answer?" questioned Albion with a grin causing Yaag Rosch to groan as he shook his Silverette hair.
"Answer the question, what about Barthandelus?" asked Rosch and Albion nodded slightly.
"You know deep down that Barthandelus has no love for we humans, you know what he is going to do, I plan to take history's weave out of Barthandelus' hands!" announced Albion with a sigh "for that, I need the Pulse L'Cie and any Sanctum L'Cie that are available, the interesting things about certain Focus…is that there are always Loopholes to lengthening one's Focus"
"Here" announced Yaag as he handed over a chip "it has an encrypted frequency that overlooks the Jamming, it also has my personal contact link on it and it's expected to be functional at exchanging Frequency Range all the way from Pulse, make my defeat look good and believable…"
"Alright" announced Albion as he punched Yaag in the gut causing him to drop to his knees as he drew his Gunblade high and prepared to slash down, he smirked when two PSICOM Soldiers looked into the alleyway much to plan before doubling back on himself to confuse the Soldiers before heading to his true destination.
"Sir…are you alright?" asked a PSICOM Soldier and Yaag shrugged him off.
"Only a Flesh Wound, well? Go after the L'Cie!" commanded Yaag Rosch as he headed past the Soldiers.
Palumpolum - In The Streets
Snow grabbed Hope and placed the male onto his shoulders where he grunted from the pain still in his chest. He however knew that he had to get Hope out of there he had promised not just himself but Light as well and he knew that the female would kill Snow himself if the small male wasn't brought back to her. Sometimes the female could be very possessive of things that she cared about.
"Come on Snow you can do this" the male muttered to himself as he began to walk forwards "Got to keep moving"
He walked forwards a few meters before he began to run down the street and hopefully towards where Hope lived he couldn't quite remember due to his head pounding so hard that he thought it would explode. Snow shook and head and told himself that he was going the right way as he noticed two females running towards him bringing a grin to his face, Lightning and Fang.
Snow laughed at his luck yet suddenly feel to the floor, too weak to do anything else, Fang reached him first and checked both males pluses. She nodded to Light to show that they were still alive when Hope opened his eyes to see Lightning pick him up and hug him tightly.
"Don't ever scare me again" she told him grinning.
"Try not to" he muttered weakly "Snow?"
"He will be fine but we need to get to your place" said Fang standing to her feet "It's getting dark and that's when the real soldiers come out to play"
"Can you walk?" asked Light gently.
"I think so"
"Good you lead the way while me and Fang get this so called hero and carry him"
"There goes my back" muttered Fang with a sigh.
Light rolled her eyes and helped the other female pick the male up before they nodded at Hope who walked forwards slowly at first but gradually he got faster until the pair about an hour or so later after a couple of fights they reached Hopes home which they walked into to find Albion already there.
Snow was carried into a spare from where Hope wanted to stay with him yet Light told the male he had to explain to his parents what had happened to him and the group. Hope knew she was right but still he wanted to know that Snow was ok he looked so weak.
Later…Palumpolum, the Estheim Residence - Indoors
Albion scowled as he leaned against his bed and looked at his nearby computer screen while considering all the data he had gained from his scientists, the Maker whom had orphaned both humans and Fal'Cie was in fact his a million times over a million generations removed Great Grandfather, rather there would be more Greats before Grandfather than Albion even wanted to consider at this time and age. Even if that were true, Albion had no possible means in which to push these genetic traits out into the open, to awaken the Maker's dormant power and use it for his own, the power to destroy even Fal'Cie and to force mass change on Cocoon and Pulse. Of course like any human born, Albion wanted to test his boundaries and what made him laugh was for that very reason was why Humanity had begun picking up weapons and killing each other in the first place, the Humans had forgotten their commands from their Maker and started warring while the Fal'Cie instead became obsessed with reviving their departed divinity, to that end they were willing to kill billions of lives as a…fitting sacrifice.
"Barthandelus is the Lord of the Sanctum Fal'Cie and Orphan is the Fal'Cie turned battery that feeds Cocoon with its power…to the point it keeps it floating in Pulse's skies, I would have to find a replacement power source for Cocoon as a means to replace Orphan, essentially if I had the power of the Maker I could even create a new source of power that would replace a Fal'Cie and I can imagine the pain that Orphan has to go through with his present life" muttered Albion as he stood up and walked out of his room to see Fang leaning against a sofa which Nora sat on looking at her son along with the rest of the group "I assume you have questions for me?"
"When did you become a L'Cie?" asked Nora as she watched her eldest whom sighed slightly before answering.
"Fourteen Years ago" answered Albion as he watched Nora's face darken with the announcement "I went to father and he hid it from the rest of you, I had to complete my Focus, meaning I couldn't have interruptions"
"Which Fal'Cie branded you?" asked Fang and Albion smirked at her.
"Carbuncle, a Sanctum L'Cie, that makes me a Sanctum L'Cie…or I was" answered Albion as he rubbed the bridge of his nose as Fang tensed at the announcement.
"Was?" asked Lightening and Albion answered as calmly as humanly possible.
"I was turned to Crystal, you may think that there is freedom at path's end however that is anything but the truth, after turning to Crystal you sleep and then you are a Fal'Cie puppet…forever" answered Albion with a sigh "I found a way in which I could escape such a fate, WHICH was my Focus, I joined the Abyssal Legion whom used the Omega Fal'Cie to revive me while free of any Focus"
"What about that strange language that you spoke in the Nutriculture Complex, Hope tells me he understood everything you said as though you were speaking English, what is that language?" asked Lightening which Albion coughed before announcing.
"That is the Ancient Language, a Language used by the Ancients whom could speak to the Eidolons and Fal'Cie, that was the early language and only a rare handful can now reproduce that language" answered Albion simply.
"You know our Focus?" asked Fang and Albion nodded "then tell us!"
"All I can say, that it is connected to Ragnarok, the Eidolon of destruction" announced Albion simply as he stepped forwards "what were you talking about while I was busy?"
"We were looking for a way out of this L'Cie business, what our options were, that sort of thing" commented Bartholomew Estheim as he looked amongst the group however suddenly the Light went off "what…"
"Mum, Dad, get in the back room…we have uninvited visitors!" announced Albion as he drew one of his Gunblades.
Palumpolum, the Estheim Residence
A Havoc Skytank took aim at Hope's group from behind however Albion moved in the way of their firing lock, a roar of energy that knocked all Soldiers nearby to the ground roared from Albion as he raised an arm as a purple aura overcame it, pointing the hand at the Havoc Skytank before an Orb of Large Purple Energy encompassed the Skytank before exploding which resulted in Albion falling onto his knees before eventually falling to his side and unconscious.
"A…Albion!" shouted Hope as he ran over to his brother's side and at the same time a Red Haired Commander stepped over to him as well "who are you?"
"Commander Blaze, Abyssal Legion, a simple servant of Lord Albion" announced Blaze with a grin as he looked over Albion's face "so, he attempted to use that power…"
"What Power?" asked Hope and Blaze looked at him confused before smirking.
"Its nothing however I can assume he used too much magic, Cavalry forces are coming to your aid, make sure that he gets some rest" announced Blaze simply as he stood and disappeared into the crowd of retreating Soldiers.
Hope frowned yet his attention was suddenly on three figures coming from his now destroyed house, Fang, Light and Snow. The male ran to him where he kissed him strongly before turning towards the men leaving.
"We have to get out of here, they can heal my brother and Snow and i can't let anything else happen to them"
Light although a bit resistant nodded and pulled Snow towards the ship with the help of Fang who sighed and moaned about her back yet again. Hope let out a small laugh yet helped an unknown male lift his brother towards the ship also. They were getting out of here and with one final look on his home where his parents were safe from being hunted, he stepped onto the ship.
"What's the plan now?" he called.
"We get Vanille" said Fang and it wasn't a suggestion.
"And Sazh" nodded Light.
