:A World Apart:

(*Oooh Meyneth? ...

Remember me? I am your host.

I know I am asleep, dreaming and ... basically dead but what are you dreaming about right now?*)

Once upon a time, in the bits and pieces of a dream now gone, Meyneth had found herself looking up to sky. Numbers and letters were falling down in a specific order, forming something she had seen before, with a peculiar little light floating around.

(*... It is the code ... of this world*)

(*Code?*) The little light was intrigued.

::

Interested that her host was sleep talking to her, Meyneth explains.

(* ... Yes ... The Monados are small pieces of code or 'keys' with specific duties for a grand code, a monad ... which is the structure of this world. The Grand Code can be defined as the 'True Monado'. Unless you're an administrator, the Monados are a double-edged sword. Using it is possible but it puts a huge strain on the user.*)

(* ... So that's what happened to Shulk and Dunban ... If the 'keys' are your blades ... Oh 'True Monado'? Do you have a physical form?*) The little light calls out to the falling numbers and letters and then to Meyneth's surprise, Alvis appears.

Alvis bows down and asks "You called, Meyneth?"

Meyneth dismisses the fact that she had called him, but proceeds to ask him to stay to watch over her injured host. She was surprised though that Alvis would respond to a non administrator's call.

::

(*Wow, he's kinda cute ... but why did you make a code look like a ... guy?*) The little light was looking at Alvis from head to toe.

(*He is the product of 'our' labor ... so that's why he-*)

(*Your 'kid'? ... If he's really your 'kid', have you considered retiring? And let him do the work for you?*)

Retire?

(*But ... He's just a tool. There is still a need to have an administrator.*)

(*Okay I understand he's not a living being but Meyneth, with such a cute guy running around, don't you think the people he meets will be suspicious of whether he is normal or not? Come on, Meyneth. I think you've been at this for too long to not think about that. I'm sure you could make him act the part but there is a limit of how much acting one can do ... He would eventually get caught ... At least get another administrator ... I don't know you very well right now, but I can tell that you need a break ...

You don't have to be stuck to this job. You have a story to write.*)

Meyneth had never imagined herself to hear something like this.

(*But ... Zanza's goal is to be the only administrator. *)

(*Then kick him off.*) - ヽ( ･∀･)ﾉ┌┛Σ(ノ `Д´)ノ

Meyneth didn't expect that her host was this violent.

(*I am going to force you to have fun in place of me. And I think the only way to force you to do that is to do this.*) With that the little light then proceeds to grab Meyneth's Monado and aims it at Alvis.

*For the one who granted me one last chance ... Grant the True Monado the will to carry on her legacy, her hope and kindness to the end.*

A/N: I realized that this "short" story turned rather long ... I tried really hard to make it proper and all stuff tied in together, but I know that there are many inconsistencies and mistakes in it. My original ending and this ending ... and the whole story in general ... - I don't think it makes any sense at this rate anymore ... I'm sorry. I'm not a very good story writer at all :( but -

To all the readers who visited here, thank you so much for your time in reading this story and, especially if you had read from the beginning, for putting up with my writing and the AU. Hope it was somewhat enjoyable.

Thanks. :)
