Chapter II:
BGM: Lenna's Theme (FF5)
The school was in ruin, Zidane was knocked out, and Sakura and Highwind-sensei were standing while Kanine was in shock. "Princess…Sakura…Rydia…Kemono, you're the princess of the kingdom." Kanine said in surprise. "Sorry I had to deceive you Kanine. I am the princess of the Kemono Kingdom, daughter of King Drake Kemono, Sakura Rydia Kemono. It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance." Sakura pronounced, then bowed, she has a high serious manner "No need to be so formal Princess, I mean King's daughter, I mean Sakura." Kanine said in a blushing confusion, Sakura broke her serious manner by laughing; "Always so funny, that is what I like about you, I'll be less formal, just for you, sound good?" She said
BGM: Cyan (FF6)
"Princess Sakura, what are you doing here, you are supposed to be doing here." Highwind-sensei said. Sakura was shocked at the sight of Highwind-sensei, she said: "Are you…Leo Highwind, the great blue mage of the War of Kingdoms. Sorry you asked me a question, I should answer it. I ran away." "Highwind-sensei was in the war." Kanine said in surprise. Highwind-sensei didn't say anything for about a minute, then said: "Let's get Doan-sensei to heal Mr. Final and Red and White students to help as many people all over town." He then left the room.
BGM: Theme of Love (FF4)
"Thank you Kanine, but it would seem that I shall be leaving soon." Sakura said. Kanine's response was: "What, you can't be leaving yet. We can…run away together, I have no reason to be here." "No, thank you, but I must go back to the castle and you have a life here. You must become a great blue mage. I can see, you will become the greatest of blue mages." Sakura said, then Highwind-sensei came back in and said: "Princess, please came with me, I'll show you where you will be sleeping for the night until we can take you back to the Kemono Castle. Highwind-sensei and Sakura left the room.
BGM: Returners (FF6)
Later at night, all the teachers gathered at the Principle's office. "You all know why you are all here" the Principle said. The Principle was and somewhat old man who was in a gold uniform. "Yes goblin tried to kidnap the princess of the kingdom." A red teacher said "And even leaded by a hobgoblin, they would do something like that." said a blue teacher. "You are right, but we will discuss that later, right now we must return the princess to Kemono Castle and report what has happened to the King." A grey teacher said.
"Agreed. We shall let the King worry about, but we shall prepare students for war. Now who will bodyguard the princess on the journey back?" The Principle said, then Highwind said out loud: "I will, but may I take some students?" "You shouldn't take student on something so dangerous." A red teacher said. "Yuki-sensei is right Higwind-sensei, it is dangerous for students. You must have good reasons for saying that" The Principle said.
"I do have a good reason for this. I want to bring Kanine Inuka. He has many hidden abilities that I believe that these abilities can only be discovered in the natural learning." Highwind said. "This is nonsense, Inuka can't have 'hidden abilities'. He is a lazy and troublesome student." Yuki said, Highwind response was: "Not true his is gifted; he is bright and was able to learn blue magic even though he is only a first year." "A first year…very well, take whoever you want Highwind-sensei." The Principle said
BGM: Music Box (FF5)
Meanwhile, in Kanine's dorm room, Kanine was sitting in his bed trying to figure out what happen that day. "Goblins, Goblin Punch, Princess Sakura Kemono. She couldn't be a royal person, she's too nice." He said to himself.
Somewhere else, Sakura was also was thinking of the day in her private room. Sakura said to herself: "Kanine, what a nice and free man. How can someone be so reckless, Kanine." Sakura thought for a second, then smiled. "Kanine, what a fun person to be around."
BGM: The Lunarians (FF4)
It was like pure darkness, it felt as if Kanine knew where he was and what he was doing. There was someone else, it looked like him but it wasn't him, he was wearing what looked like fur clothing. He was smiling. There was someone or something else also there, Kanine couldn't see it but somehow he knew it was there. The Kanine look-a-like spoke: "We'll stop you, here and now." Kanine looked behind him and saw 11 other people fading away. Then the other Kanine raised his hand. Fire, water, rocks and wind started spraying from four corners. Kanine started to shiver do to the sudden cold. Suddenly the fire, water, rocks and wind froze and pieces broke off and fell to what looked like earth. While they fell, Kanine watch them, when they were in the same sight as the Earth, they shined so brightly, Kanine was blinded.
BGM: Awakening (FF6)
Kanine woke up to what was a dream, it was still night out. "What were that person, those people, and the pieces of ice, they shined like crystals." Kanine said. He left his room, and went outside. He looked up at the stars. "Who was that man, the person who looked like me, the one in the clothing that looked like fur?" He keep looking at the stars.
"Hello Kanine" Kanine looked to see Sakura was also awake. "Sakura what are you still doing up?" He asked her. "Just thinking." She said. "Kanine… we just meet, so why do you risk your life to save me?" Kanine was confused by what she said "Because…" He thought for a second. "I want to protect all I can. This is who am I and what I will do." Kanine said in pride. Sakura smiled.
They continued talking for about an hour. "I will surely miss you. Good bye Kanine." Sakura said as she left. "See ya" Kanine said while she was walking off. Kanine went back to his dorm room and back to sleep.
BGM: My Home, Sweet Home (FF5)
The next day was the same as always, the only difference was the ruined buildings. Even though Kanine and Zidane were in Highwind's class it was being a different teacher entered the room "Today I will be teaching your class. We shall start with a pop quiz." He said and the class sighed. "Kanine Inuka; Zidane Final, go to the Principle's office NOW." He continued. Kanine and Zidane looked at each other and left the room. "So what did we do this time, I bet it's your to blame, like always" Zidane said. Kanine didn't response but simply looked down at the ground. They open the door to the Principle's office.
BGM: Red Wings (FF4)
In the Principle's office there was also Sakura and Highwind. "Sakura" Kanine yelled in joy. "It is good to see you too Kanine" Sakura replied "This is good and all but why are we here Highwind-sensei?" Zidane asked "Because you have been chosen to bodyguard the princess while she returns to the castle. Are you two up to the task?" Highwind said. "Of course" Kanine and Zidane said in unison. "OK, make whatever preparations you need and will meet outside of town" Highwind said.
BGM: My Home, Sweet Home (FF6)
Kanine and Zidane left the school and went to their dorm rooms. Kanine was searching all over and making the room even messier then before. "What do I bring, what do I bring?" Kanine kept saying to himself. He heard a knock at his door. "Come in." He said. Sakura came in. "Hello Kanine" she said. "Hay" Kanine responded. "What's up?" Sakura said: "Just curious. What a unique room, it is so…how you are." "Um…Thanks, I think." Kanine said while still searching. Sakura giggled at him.
"There we go, that is almost everything, please leave the room for min Sakura." Kanine said. Sakura left the room. About a few minutes later Kanine came out in new clothing. Instead of his uniform, he was wearing a green top and blue pants. "That fells better, nothing like your own cloths and style. Right Sakura." He said. Sakura nodded her head. "Shall we get going?" She said.
BGM: Prologue... (FF4)
Kanine went to the town gate where Highwind and Zidane were waiting. Zidane was also in different clothing. He was wearing a black trench coat. Highwind said: "Now that everyone is here we can get going soon. But I have one more thing to do." He pulled out a sword and gave it to Kanine "Kanine, you can not fight with a wooden sword, and since Zidane already got a Mithril Sword yesterday, take this Gaia Sword for what you have done and will do. OK, let's get going." This is the beginning of a story of a journey, and the trials that await, this is the Final Fantasy.
----------------------------------------------------
The scene change to a stage, the backdrop is the fields with mountains and a sun, there is a speaker to the side plying "?" from FF6. InukaKanine walks on to the stage. He kicks the speaker and the music changes to "Go Go Boco!" from FF5. InukaKanine speaks:
"Hello, I'm InukaKanine the author of this story. Today I'm going to tell you about the world of the fanfic. Lets start with the kingdoms, there are four kingdoms; Kemono, Sanbar, Furer, and Amaterasu.
Let's start with Kemono; this is where Kanine and the other live. It is know for it's natural beauty. This is the best place to become blue mages, elementlists, trainers, and rangers. King Drake Kemono is the current ruler, with only one daughter, Sakua Rydia Kemono.
Then, to the south of Kemono is Sanbar. Sanbar is the total opposite; they are a technological advanced land. The kingdom is protected the most powerful dragon knights in the world. Sanbar is ruled by the King Eli Sen Meche. By the way, Zidane was born in Sanbar.
Next up is Furer ruled by King John Lion. Furer is like in a fantasy land, knight and mage is what they are good with, so you'll see knights, black and white mages all around.
Last but not least, is the noble kingdom of Amaterasu. This kingdom is in the style of feudal Japan, a time of samuri and ninja. Queen Ai Amaterasu rules the kingdom with a strict but kind power. The name Amaterasu is based on the Sun Goddess of Shinto mythology in Japan.
These lands have been though wars and battles until about 20 years ago. Legends and rumors say that there are magic crystals that are the heart of the element, but it isn't really known except for the royal families.
Now for technology, well it is like in any of the older Final Fantasy games, airships flying over head and ancient ruins buried all over the land with mysterious technology that could bring the world into a new age. One last bit of info if this fan fic was a show:
First opening theme: "Forever…" (Opening of Elemental Gelade)
First Ending theme: "MOVIN, MOVIN" (8th ending of Bleach)
