Hi, sorry for the delay, but I have had a lot on my plate this year (exams, and applying for university and stuff like that). Anyways, I am gonna continue with the Side Scenarios!
I also found an LP of the English version of Final Fantasy Type 0 (well, the fan translation). I won't name the user who made the LP (as the user who made the video could face copyright issues as a result) though of anyone is interested in watching it, I'll PM you the name of the user.
Anyways, lets get going!
IX- Byakko's L'Cie try and complete their Crystal-Given duties. However, SnakeEyes also has his own duties to complete.
ANIX1: I love writing from a L'Cie's POV! This one shot will have Nimbus and Qun'mi meeting SnakeEyes for the first time, and Machina's first encounter with SnakeEyes as A L'Cie himself. Takes place during the main story.
X- Miyu Kagerohi's thoughts just before Class Zero save the world.
ANX1: Spoilers for Final Fantasy Agito. Like, really big spoilers. If you Like spoilers, or have played Agito, read on. If you hate spoilers, don't read. (And I will do everything I can to make sure that you don't see the spoilers if you don't want to.) Anyways, this also takes place during the main story. Again, some OOCness.
I hope you enjoy this!

Side Scenario IX- Duty
Qun'mi
Qun'mi was confident that she would win the war for Cid. That she could turn on the crystal jammers, kill the cadets in the Peristylium along with the soldiers in the army, and then Milites would be in possession of Rebrum.
She knew that there would be resistance, but she was sure that she would be able to take them down easily with Dainsleif (Her magitek Armour). After all, Rebrum's puny magic was nowhere as powerful as the technology that Milites had produced.
What she hadn't expected to see was a L'Cie. That Silver eyed, silver branded L'Cie was a thorn in her side during her planned invasion. He had been healing all of the Rebrum soldiers that Qun'mi wanted dead, killing enemy soldiers trying to enter the city as well as defending the Peristylium.
He needed to go. Preferably in the quickest way possible.
"Qun'mi" A male voice called out her name. She turned around, and saw him smirking at her.
"And you are?" Qun'mi asked.
"SnakeEyes." SnakeEyes replied.
Qun'mi seethed, "Now if you would go, I have to go and get my city under control."
"Your city?" SnakeEyes gave a wry smile, "I didn't know this city had your name on it."
Qun'mi barked, "Not yet. It will by my city soon though."
"Good luck with that." SnakeEyes rolled his eyes.
"Are you saying that I am weak?" Qun'mi raised her eyebrows, challenging what SnakeEyes had said.
"No. I'm saying that I am more experienced then you are." SnakeEyes got out his Gunblade, before pointing it at Qun'mi.
Qun'mi decided to back off immediatley. She didn't need to get into a fight with another L'Cie. Not now. Not when there was a city to conqour first.
After that... She would happily challenge SnakeEyes to a battle, and she would be the victor.
Nimbus
Nimbus knew what his Focus was.
He had to complete his Focus. He needed to slay every single soldier he encountered on the battlefield. Well, excluding his allies of course.
He saw a large group of soldiers, clad in Vermillion charge towards Togoreth fortress, seeking to capture it for themselves.
Nimbus could not allow that.
That would mean that he would fail his Focus.
As he prepared to fire his optic light beams at them, someone else started to approach him.
A L'Cie.
An Enemy L'Cie.
He needed to die.
As he approached the enemy L'Cie, his opponent smiled.
"Hello, Nimbus." The L'Cie muttered.
"Hello, L'Cie." Nimbus muttered, not revealing a hint of emotion.
The L'Cie replied, "It's..."
"I don't care what your name is." Nimbus muttered, "What matters is that you are an enemy L'Cie on Milities territory. You must die."
Nimbus threw an optic light beam at the L'Cie, who retaliated by getting out a gun of some sort. The L'Cie fired several bullets at Nimbus, who destroyed them all with another beam of light.
The L'Cie then put up a shield to defend himself from Nimbus' attack, before changing towards Nimbus. Nimbus then got out his own guns and started to attack the enigmatic L'Cie.
Nimbus was faintly aware that soldiers on both sides of the conflict stopped fighting, and watched in awe as the two L'Cie fought. Nimbus watched as the L'Cie threw a Thunder projectile at him. Nimbus dodged the attack, before he prepared yet another...
"Oh my Byakko..." One soldier shouted, "Nimbus, be careful! The L'Cie is summoning..."
Nimbus replied, "Yes, I know what he is summoning. I have taken down hundreds of Eidolons before. This will be easy."
He watched as the L'Cie finally finished summoning an Eidolon. Nimbus paused. He had never seen that one before. The Eidolon was a huge, dragon like fiend. Nimbus would have said that it looked like a Bahamut, but this dragon was a different colour and size to the Bahamuts Nimbus traditionally fought.
"Valefor!" The L'Cie shouted, pointing at Nimbus, "Take him down!"
Nimbus decided that he was going to take the Eidolon on, as he wouldn't be able to complete his focus otherwise. He charged towards the Valefor, before throwing a light beam at it.
It reacted by casting some sort of Sonic wave at him, which started to slow Nimbus down. Even though his movements were sluggish, Nimbus continued to fight Valefor.
But by then, the enemy L'Cie had already summoned another Eidolon.
Nimbus knew he was outnumbered. At risk of failing his Focus, Nimbus decided to perform the safer option, which would allow him to succeed in his Focus next time.
"Retreat!" Nimbus shouted, before he ran away from that deadly L'Cie with the silver brand.
Machina
Machina walked down a quiet street in the Capital of Milites, studying the city around him. He had decided to leave Class Zero, and join the Milites army. He needed to get stronger, and Class Zero wouldn't let him do so. They wouldn't let him protect Rem.
They got his brother killed.
He was much better off with all of them, bar Rem, out of his life.
As he turned into a dark alleyway to vent off his anger without being seen, he saw him. That Silver Branded L'Cie Nimbus had told him about. The one responsible for Milites' defeat at Togoreth Fortress.
Machina headed towards him, keen to dispose of the L'Cie that had caused Milites' defeat. If he could do that, he could get stronger, and protect...
Protect...?
Who had Machina decided to protect?
Whoever that person was, they must not have been that important.
"Machina?" The Silver Branded L'Cie asked, sounding unsurprised.
"You caused our defeat at Togoreth Fortress! You were at the battle of the Big Bridge, helping that stupid Class Zero in their efforts!" Machina shouted angrily, "You will pay for this!"
The Silver Branded L'Cie mumbled sadly, "You've forgotten..."
"What have I forgotten?!" Machina's anger increased at The Silver Branded L'Cie's words "Don't just stand there! Tell me!"
"It's nothing, Machina." The Silver Branded L'Cie mumbled.
"How do you know my name!?" Machina slapped the L'Cie opposite him.
"You don't need to know." The L'Cie replied, "I'd best be going now. I am sorry to see you this way."
Machina began to ask his next question, but before he could the L'Cie had gone. Machina seethed. That L'Cie was so arrogant, feeling sorry for Machina. Why should Machina care about that L'Cie's feelings?
After all, he needed to get stronger. He needed to be able to complete his Focus.
He needed to kill everyone in Class Zero.

Side Scenario X- From the Other Side
She aimlessly wandered through the Fountain Plaza, waiting for Class Zero to arrive. Around her, cadets and soldiers alike were being cut down by the Lulusath soldiers, staining the water in the fountain red with their blood.
She kicked the corpse of a boy from Class Second, smirking a bit. It was happening all over again. Finis. The destruction of Orience, and it's rebirth. And she couldn't wait.
Maybe this time, the gates of the Unseen realm would be torn asunder by the deaths of all in Orience. Maybe this time, Gala and her could fulfil the task given to them by Lindzei and finally find Etro herself.
But first, she needed to find Agito. After all, they had to see if Arecia's method would work this time. Miyu doubted that though. It hadn't worked in the first cycle of Orience. It hadn't worked in the other millions of loops. Why would it work now?
Maybe the death of Orience was the answer to opening Etro's gate?
Suddenly, she could hear someone enter the Plaza. Several someones. She smiled, before turning around in order to confirm her suspicions.
She was right. They had arrived.
She moved towards Ace, Cater and Cinque, determined to discover whether they were Agito or not. She hoped they were. It would be boring otherwise.
"Class Zero." She stated.
"Miyu?" Cater asked quickly, "How did you survive?"
"Because I am working for them." Miyu thought, hiding the smirk that was starting to appear on her face.
"It really is you!" Cinque squealed, "You survived!"
Miyu thought to herself, "I know, but you may not be soon. It depends on if you and your classmates are Agito..."
Ace, meanwhile looked wearily at the Class Second student in front of him. Miyu knew what he was thinking. He knew the truth. And a second later, Ace had pulled out his deck of cards, and pointed them at her.
"Miyu." Ace mumbled, "You...work for them? Why? Why are you doing this? They are killing your classmates! Your classmates are dead and you don't care!?"
"Ace..." Miyu laughed, walking towards him, "I am not a true cadet. I am not a true member of Class Second."
Cater paused, "Who are you then?"
Miyu gave a wry smile, "Now you are asking the right questions. I am Judge Myuria. Servant of Gala, commander of the Lulusath soldiers. If you wish to become Agito, you must face me in battle. Win, and you could save the world. Lose, and you will perish by my blade."
Cinque got out her mace, and Cater got out her guns, before joining Ace in challenging Miyu. Miyu smiled at this. Finally, she would be able to see how powerful Class Zero really were in this cycle of Orience.
Miyu unsheathed her fluret, before charging at the three students facing her. Swinging her blade gracefully in the air, she decided that Cinque would be her first target. She just needed to find a Kill sight, before the first of the twelve students fell.
She felt the sting of a Thunder projectile hit her, before she saw Ace teleport towards her. He quickly threw a deck of cards at her, and Miyu dodged all of them.
"They've gotten quite powerful in this cycle. Arecia has taught them well." Miyu thought, before she saw Cinque's kill sight, "But I have now gained the upper hand!"
Cinque fell to the ground, having been KOed. She had quickly been replaced by Jack, who had quickly charged towards Miyu, unsheathing his katana. Miyu counter his blade before her own, defending herself from his strike.
And the two of them danced around the Plaza, swinging their respective blades at each other. Miyu was determined to win, but she knes that Class Zero's determination to become Agito was far greater.
Jack backed her against a wall, and Miyu knew that unless she did something, she would lose the fight. She ducked at Jack swung his blade at her throat, before stabbing him in the back.
2 down, 10 to go.
As Eight was fielded into the battle, Cater collapsed, having summoned Rubicante a couple of seconds ago. The Eidolon set it's eyes on her, before it charged for her. Miyu realised that there was really no point in continuing the fight. Class Zero had proven their strength, and they were therefore the Agito.
Just as she expected.
"Congratulations, Class Zero. You have 'won' this fight, and therefore you have the right to become Agito." Miyu muttered.
As the nine conscious members of Class Zero began to celebrate, Miyu teleported out of the plaza. She needed to serve her master, and follow his every word. He had told her to come to the Palace of All Magic, in order to command the Lulusath soldiers there.
She knew that she would be there on time to give this cycle of Orience it's curtain call. But first, the stars of the show would need to arrive.

ANIX2: The reason why Qun'mi left after SnakeEyes pointed his gunblade at her is because she realised that she had better things to do (I.e. Finish capturing the city) then declare a fight with another L'Cie. Valefor is a Cocoon L'Cie in FFXIII, which is why I used him in the fight with Nimbus. And L'Cie like Nimbus and Machina slowly lose their emotions and feelings over time, which is why Machina forgot who Rem is and the reason why he became a L'Cie in the first place.
ANX2: Let's just say that I had fun writing this one, and leave it at that for those who want to avoid spoilers. :)
Anyways, it is unlikely that there will be another set of Side Stories until after Christmas. I hoped you enjoyed the one (or two) Side Stories in this Chapter. I'm gonna watch more of that LP now!
