Here's the next chapter in my story

Chapter 8-heroes meet the hero

Zack kept looking towards the sky then lowered his head to look towards Noel and Serah and realised they were looking at something. He approached them to see what they were looking at and it was a bunch of mini flans travelling together

"whoa what's with all the flan" he asked

"beats me, they're all just appearing out of nowhere" Noel replied

"could it… be a paradox" Serah suggested to the two

"it's possible, that may be the reason for all these flans" Noel replied

"yeah I don't remember there being this may flan when I was here" Zack said

All of a sudden Serah put her hands on her face and started to stumble. Before she fell Noel was able to catch and find out what was wrong with her. Zack also looked in concern while Mog was panicking.

"Serah! Hey Serah" Noel and Zack looked concerned for her well being

"hey is she alright" Zack asked

"dunno"

Serah then started saying words about the fall of cocoon and has another vision of snow who is about to be killed by a giant flan.

"NO!" she shouted as she pushed Noel aside and ran past Zack and Mog to go find Snow. Mog quickly follows Serah while Zack helps up Noel

"what was that all about" Zack asked him

"I think she had a vision"

"seriously"

"is it possible that she possesses the same power as Yuel"

"Yuel?"

"Zack lets follow her, we need to make sure she doesn't get hurt"

The two head over to where Serah was last seen running to and find her with another figure defending themselves against a giant flan

"that's one big FLAN" Zack and Noel said at the same time

They see Serah rushing to Snow's aid while he was injured.

"Serah… am I dreaming"

"no I'm here" the giant flan was about to attack them until Noel used magic to defend and Zack followed up with a devastating strike with his buster sword which sent the monsters hand flying straight of but immediately grew back.

"alright I can take it from here" Snow said as he got up

"no you stay back" Noel shouted at Snow

"are you kidding with Serah watching I don't think so"

"whoa hothead" Zack said

"fine we'll fight together" Noel said and with that they all charged at the flan

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

After a long and vigorous battle with the flan they finally defeated it

"yeah that's what I'm talking about" shouted Zack and Snow

But their celebration was short lasted as the Flan rose up again getting bigger with all the smaller flan helping it form again

"now's a good time to-" Noel was interrupted by Snow

"take it down before it reforms" Snow said walking towards the beast

"no! to run"

"are you kidding"

His hand was then grabbed by Serah who was also with Noels idea

"let's go now" she shouted

She then forced Snow to run with her as Zack and Noel followed close by.

Once they were in safe distance away from the flan that's when noel snapped at Snow but he was always calm

"I never knew you were just the reckless type" Noel said to Snow

"heh… anyway thanks for before"

"hmph" Noel turned away from Snow in disgust

"ugh this is Noel" Serah said to Snow to break the tension and then turns to Noel

"and this is Snow you guys we're getting married"

"well that throws your chances out of the window" Zack whispered to Noel which in return he shoved him playfully

"it's on hold for now" Snow said. This made Serah abit upset but then noticed Zack waving his arms at her

"uh hello forgetting someone" Zack said to Serah

"oh… yeah sorry Snow this is Zack" this made Snow expression change

"so your Zack the hero Lightning always talks about"

"and your Snow the hero that Serah always talks about and the first man who exceeded my height"

"so light did talk about me I knew it… told you Serah"

"she said how my actions and attitude remind her of you"

"huh really" Zack looked surprised then was thrilled

"so Snow could I ask you why you're here" Noel asked

"well Lightning came to me in a dream and wanted me to defend the pillar that the flan is melting bit by bit"

"so that's why that flan is there" Zack said

"but that doesn't explain why there are so many small flans" Noel added

"maybe there is something here that doesn't belong here that is attracting them" Serah said

"I'm guessing it's an artefact and we have to find it right" Snow said

"right, it could be the solution to our flan problem ".Zack said

"alright then what we waiting for" Serah shouted to group. With that they understood what to do and make their way through brushy wilderness of the waterscape. Snow was pumped full of energy and was always ahead just like Zack.

"hey Noel how old are you"

"eighteen"

"huh your younger than me, you look older"

"hmph" Snow then turned to Zack

"how old are you Zack" Snow asked

"well guess you can say I'm 24"

"wow same age but I'm taller"

"yeah what a coincidence"

Serah was glad to see them getting along and to see how Snow shares the same personality as Zack

"so Snow what things did Light say about me" Zack asked out of curiosity

"well she said a few things of how heroic you were but still an idiot"

"figures, I was thinking she say something like that" Zack said with a grin

"ugh by the way guys does anyone know where we are going" Noel asked the two who both looked at him in surprise

"well while you heroes were talking me and Mog decided that we should follow the flans since they probably attracted to the artefact" Serah said boastfully

"wow good thinking Serah" Snow said praising her

"well this should be a walk in a park now" Noel said

"great lets continue" Zack said.

The group then stumble upon a great valley where they see a giant Enil in the midst

"we should turn back, don't wanna look for a fight you can't"

"oh really" Snow said while stepping forward and then started waving his arms towards the beast

"HEY! OVER HERE" started shouting at the beast which slightly turned to his direction

"what are you doing you're going to get us killed" Noel replied in anger

"nah I think I'm just gonna do this" Snow then leapt on the creature's back which in reply gave a deep bellow

"that thing is gonna swallow you whole"

"I wonder where its mouth is" Zack asked which made Serah and Noel look at him in annoyance

"hey guys I think this thing will give us a ride" Snow shouted to the group

"well if Snow says it's safe I agree don't you" Zack said

"well… ok let's go Mog" Serah said

"kuupo kuupo"

The three then hope onto the creature's back which leaves Noel standing behind discouraged

"huh these people are going to be the death of me" he then follows on and jumps on the Enil's back

It was a short journey, they collected treasures along the way using Mog as an firearm to get it. Once the Enil had finished travelling they jumped off it and went back to following the mini flans.

Through all the effort they defeated the flans that were defending the artefact and claimed it for themselves.

"alright! That's one artefact down" Zack said

"a crystal… you know what it's like to be crystal don't you Serah" Noel asked her

"yes… it was the loneliest and scariest moment of my life" she replied looking disheartened

"Serah" Snow said in concern. Mog then came to Serah side to comfort her

"but it's alright while I was a crystal I had nice dreams of being free and being with my friends again" she smiled at them which they returned back.

"so let's get back to finding the other artefact" Noel said

They then head off to find the other artefact while following the trail of mini flans. They reached the second artefact and once again defeated the small creatures.

"Zack how you can swing that giant sword so fast" Snow asked while admiring the buster sword

"well I've been use to it really it's not that heavy" Zack replied. Serah then took the second artefact and look at it in delight

"you know looking at this just reminds me of a theme park" Serah said

"uh what's a theme park" Noel asked

"you serious you don't know" Zack replied in disbelief

"well a theme park is a place where you go on rides and have fun" Serah told him but to his face expression he still didn't understand

"you know you're like Fang and Vanille" Snow added

"who are they" Zack asked

"they were our friends who stop Cocoon from falling and now they're trapped inside it" Serah said

"oh… I've heard that two goddesses came down and stopped Cocoon" Noel said

"oh I can tell you that they were no goddesses but they did save the world" Snow chuckled

"they came from a different world and didn't understand that much just like you" Serah said

"I see"

"um guys love stay and chat but I'd rather prefer we head back to the gate now" they give a nod and head out to the time gate.

Once they made it there Snow started to examine Mog

"helpful little guy you are, where did you find him, hard to find moogles like this"

"the time gates ready we can set off" Noel said

"then what are we waiting for" Snow shouted as he headed for the time gate

"I don't think that will happen as the time might reject does it's not use to"

"what do you mean" Serah asked

Her questioned was answered as Snow could not go anywhere near the time gate

"see"

"awww Snow can't come I enjoyed talking to him" Zack moaned

"don't worry Zack I'll be here waiting until you guys get back"

"don't do anything reckless while we're gone" Noel instructed

"hey I said don't worry"

All but Snow enter the time gate and travel to the historia crux.

"all right time to get busy" Snow said while smashing his fists together
