CHAPTER I: The Intruder from a Different Dimension

The Space Void. A bridge between worlds. One that connects a dimension to another. It is like an eternal rail with an unknown destination, or when it will arrive to it. SKRANG! The sound of two blades clashing against each other. Two figures, one black, one white, in a fight to the death. How long had they been up to it nobody knows. The two figures looked like the angel battling against the devil, each with only one wing that represents them; a white angel-like wing and a black demon-like wing.

"Climhazzard!" The black-cloaked figure yelled and a blue aura shot out from his sword. The white figure merely chuckled and created a barrier that protected him from harm.

"How long are you going to keep this up?" The one-winged angel chuckled again, humouring the demon-like man.

"Until I see you die!" He yelled in response.

They flew with grace and whenever they collide the very void itself shook from he tremendous impact.

"Braver!"

"Octoslash!"

A flash of bright light and then- An explosion so massive that the Space Void was destroyed.

The black-cloaked man was thrown off balance from the explosion and before him he could see his nemesis smiling, "Until we meet again, O failed one."

"Sephiroth!" He yelled out as loud as he can before passing out.

New Cocoon

It has been three months since the incident of Cocoon falling down to Pulse happened. The citizens of Cocoon had got off their land and made their first mark on Gran Pulse. They quickly rebuilt their city on Gran Pulse near the crash site and named it New Cocoon.

It was a normal day in New Cocoon, people going in and out of the city to discover new lands and resources in Gran Pulse, children going to school and the adults going to work. In a normal neighbourhood, one not-so-normal household were just waking up to a whole new day.

BEEP! BEEP! The alarm clock buzzed. However, the owner paid no heed to it and instead threw one of her pillow to shut it down. "Oh shut it you..." The strawberry-blond haired woman mumbled.

Just when she was about to go back to sleep her door slammed open. A huge man wearing a coat and a black beanie on his head walked in, "Hey Sis! Rise and shine, up and at em'!" He went to open her curtains. The brightness of the Sun instantly fills her room.

"Urgh Snow! Who the hell says you can come in my room you stupid idiot!" the woman groaned. She shielded her eyes with her pillow and buried her head in between it and her bed.

"You do know that 'stupid' and 'idiot' means the same thing right Light?" Snow raised his eyes and then held back a laugh, "Snrk, 'right' 'light'."

"Wow the man knows his grammar! I'd throw you a bone for your intelligence and that pun of yours but I want to get back to my appointment with my pillow here so could you leave?" Lightning pointed her finger to the door.

"No can do Light, Serah told me to get your butt downstairs. She made breakfast for us, isn't that sweet?" Snow looked away dreamily, as if the mere mention of Serah's name brought him infinite happiness.

"For me, I can understand. But why you? Come to think of it why the hell are you even in my house?" Lightning suddenly came to a realization that Snow was an unwanted intruder. She quickly grabbed her gunblade which was standing beside her bed and shot at Snow. It barely missed him by an inch.

"Whoa there Sis! You almost hit me!" Snow help up his hands and backed away from Lightning.

"I won't miss the second time..." Lightning grumbled, her gunblade still pointing at Snow. However Serah's voice came to Snow's rescue.

"Snow! Is Claire up yet?"

Lightning paused for a moment and grumbled again, "You're lucky my sister loves you..." She lowered her gunblade and ruffles her hair. She got up from her bed and picked up her alarm clock. She squinted to see the time, "Snow it's only 7 o'clock! The hell you and Serah want me for this early in the morning?" She gave Snow a disbelieved look.

"I dunno, I just did what she told me to do." Snow answered simply.

"That fact makes you look even more idiotic in my eyes. If she told you to jump off a bridge would you do that?" Lightning remarked sarcastically. Snow pondered on the question. "Never mind, I can interpret your answer clearly." Lightning sighed.

"Well, go tell Serah I'll be down in a minute. I want to take a shower first." Lightning pushed Snow out of her room.

"Got it Sis!" Snow laughed and slide down the stairs.

"Don't slide down the railing you'll break it you idiot! And I'm not your Sis!" Lightning yelled from her door and frowned.

"Not yet!" Snow yelled back from the first floor and laughed.

"Stupid oaf..." Lightning shut her door and unbuttoned her pyjamas. She didn't think much of wearing pyjamas but it was more comfortable compared to wearing her military uniform.

Just remembering those days we spent travelling the world...without changing clothes or taking baths... Lightning shivered from her own thought. She got into the shower and cool water sprinkled on her face. Ahh, now this is what I needed... She let the water slide from her face to her body and closed her eyes. She cleaned herself and was just about to get out of the shower when she heard a knock on her door.

"Hey Sis forgot to tell you something, you in here?" Snow's voice came from the other side and she saw the doorknob turning.

"No wait you idio-!" Lightning held out her left hand to push against it but it was too late. Snow's head popped into the bathroom, "Oh there you are, Serah wanted to let you know tha-" Snow's voice trailed off as his brain processed the situation in the bathroom.

"Oh, haha...Sorry Light didn't mean to uhh...I didn't know you were...Uhh...Should I run?"

Lightning's face was beet red but Snow gathered it was not from embarrassment. "...You have ten seconds before I eviscerate and erase you from this world." Lightning's voice was dangerously soft and Snow knows her well enough that she isn't joking. He ran as fast as his legs could carry him.

Serah Farron began her day with her usual morning routine. She sweeps the floor, takes out the trash and makes breakfast for everyone in the house. As she was flipping the pancakes she looked at the kitchen clock.

"Hmm...They should be coming down right about..." Just as she predicted a crash and then sounds of furniture being thrown could be coming from the living room. Serah quickly turn off the stove and went to see her boyfriend and sister having their usual morning argument.

"I swear Snow if I ever see you in my room, no, make that five feet near my room I swear I will skin you alive and feed you to the Cie'ths!" Lightning picked up a lamp and threw at Snow which he dodged.

"I swear I didn't mean to peep at you Light! I didn't see anything either I swear!" Snow covered his head with his arms as another lamp flew straight at him.

"You were totally ogling at my body! And I saw your eyes were locked on my chest!" Lightning glared at him.

"B-But-" Snow's words were interrupted by Serah, "Okay now that's enough you two. Could we please get through our morning normally like any other family?"

"Not if this idiot is here! And we're not a family!" Lightning crossed her arms.

"Not yet." Snow corrected her. That earned him a wooden chair thrown at him.

"Claire!" Serah looked at her sister with anxious eyes. Serah loves both Claire and Snow, but more than anything else she wanted at least for her sister and her boyfriend to get along with each other.

"What am I supposed to say Serah? Ugh, I don't know what you see in this idiot! And who invited him here in the first place?" Lightning yelled at her.

"W-Well, I did..." Serah said apologetically and played with her hair nervously, she had a slight look of fear on her face when she looked at Lightning. That stung her.

"Ugh...I'm sorry for yelling at you. Just, just don't look at me like that..." Lightning walked towards the dining room. To Lightning, Serah meant the world for her. They had lost their parents at an early age and it has been her responsibility to take care of Serah. However she failed at that task miserably when she had kicked Serah out of the house when she had been branded by a Pulse fal'Cie.

It had haunted Lightning to this very day of the fact that she had not been there for her little sister when she needed her the most. And whenever Serah looked at her fearfully also made Lightning squirm. It reminded Lightning of her on failure of raising Serah up without love and compassion. Why do I always have to play the bad sister part?

Lightning sat in the dining room and turned on the television. Snow's head popped in from the living room. "Hey got a minute Light?" He asked her politely so as to not anger her. Lightning only grunted in response and didn't turn her head from the television.

"I take that as a yes." Snow sat down across the table and looked at her nervously.

"What'd you want idiot?" Lightning snapped at him. She was not in a good mood to humour his antics.

"Well uhh, actually it's about the thing Serah wanted me to tell you this morning...in your room..." Snow added the last part of his sentence softly, not wanting to remind Lightning of the incident. When Lightning didn't use her gunblade to blast him off Snow continued, "What we wanted to say was...We want you to be our bridesmaid in our wedding."

Lightning nearly fainted when Snow mentioned the word 'bridesmaid'. Did I hear Snow say it right? Me? A bridesmaid? "You gotta be kidding me." Lightning coughed.

"C'mon Light, Serah wants you to be her bridesmaid badly. She's been saying it for weeks now and it'd make her real happy if you say 'yes'." Snow reasoned with her.

Lightning pondered on that thought Now that I think of it, those two ARE getting married. I guess it hasn't sunk in to me yet... Lightning didn't know what to say. Sure she's happy that her sister wants her in her wedding but somehow it also makes her sad. Serah's leaving me huh? Oh Maker I couldn't give her an ounce of sisterly love for all these years and now she's leaving me.

"Uhh, Light you still here with me?" Snow waved his hand in front of her. Lightning snapped back into reality. "So...What'd you say?" Snow asked again.

Lightning stared at him for a moment and then turn back to the television. "...I'll think about it..."

"Yes! I knew you'd do it!" Snow jumped with joy. He danced across the room and patted her shoulder heavily.

"Hey I haven't agreed to it!" Lightning frowned at him. But deep inside she's smiling.

"Sorry I brought the breakfast late! The pancakes kept me." Serah appeared with a tray full of food and she put it on the dining table.

Snow quickly hugged her and they spun together in the dining room, "Hey hun, get this! Light says she's O.K. with being your bridesmaid!"

Serah looked positively happy, "Oooh really! I'm so glad...I love you so much Claire!" Serah turned to give her big sister a hug.

"I told that ogre of a boyfriend of yours that I'll think about it." Lightning stiffen as Serah hugged her. I need to get use to this...

"Well if it came from you then it's as good as a 'yes'!" Snow grinned sheepishly and kissed Serah lightly on her cheek. Serah burned red with embarrassment but she returned the kiss with her own.

That however I won't be able to get used to...Lightning gave the two a repulsed look and turned to the pancakes Serah had made. "Hmm, when you move out from the house I won't be able to eat these anymore huh?" Lightning said that a bit too sadly. Serah noticed her tone.

"Owh don't worry Claire, you'll always be invited into our house, always. You can come by anytime you want!" Serah hugged her sister again lightly.

Lightning's shoulder stiffern but she felt comfortable in her little sister's embrace. "Yeah, well if Snow doesn't destroy the house first. God knows what work he'll leave you with at home while he goes off saving the world with his fan club." Lightning snorted.

"Hey, the 'fan club' has a name y'know, NORA, and I'll pick up my slack too! I won't leave Serah to do the chores alone. These babies will help. " Snow pumps his muscles up.

"That's what all men say before they get married." Lightning retorted.

"Really? But you wouldn't know that would you Light? After all you never had a-"

"Snow!" Serah looked at him, aghast.

"Oh shit!" Snow covered his mouth with his hands. He had said too much and knew that he had crossed the line.

Lightning gave him a death glare so intense that it could make any monsters back away. "...You know what you're right. I never had a boyfriend before and guess what? I don't need one! If happiness means I have to have a boyfriend then I'll grow old becoming a sad, grumpy lady!" Lightning slammed the table with her right hand and stood up. She gave one last look at the two of them, "Well...I hope you two will always be happy...Because I definitely won't."

Lightning left the house and got onto her hovercraft. Men...who needs them...

XXX

The skyway was fairly clear of traffic today. Lightning steered the hovercraft easily and pondered on Snow's words As much as I hate to admit it, that idiot's right, I never had a boyfriend before...Wonder how it feels like to have someone caring and loving you...

Lightning pictured herself going on a date with her boyfriend, falling in love with each other and getting proposed by the man she loves. Fat chance that's ever gonna happen. Like it is I don't know that many eligible bachelors anyways.

Snow is engaged to Serah. Lightning remembered her other two friends, Sazh and Hope. Sazh is a little too 'seasoned' for her taste and Hope is under aged. Dating either of the two was not an option for her, not if they are the last remaining males on Cocoon. She didn't even consider Snow in her dating list.

Putting them down got her into a slightly good mood. Just then she saw a flash of bright light coming from the sky. Fal'Cie be damned, it was a meteor. It was heading straight towards New Cocoon and landed on the outskirts of town near the crystallized tower of Old Cocoon. The crowd that saw the meteor panicked and Lightning could see that if someone doesn't do something fast the whole city will turn chaotic. Then, Lightning saw a few military units belonging with the Guardian Core moved into the city and calmed the crowd. She saw a familiar face amidst the armed military men.

"Rygdea!" Lightning called out from above and flew straight towards him.

"Lightning! It's good to see you, we need all the help we can get from Guardian Core. The Cavalry's not enough to handle this crowd!" The Cavalry Captain looked pleased to see her.

"I thought you were turned into a Cie'th! How'd you turn back?" Lightning looked amazed to see him. The last time she saw him he had been turned into a Cie'th by Dysley.

"After you guys saved the world and defeated that crap-ass Dysley we all turned back to normal! But that doesn't matter now! We'll handle the crowd here, Lightning go check out that meteor, I'm afraid something bad is gonna happen..." Rygdea had a dark look on his face but he saluted to Lightning, "I'm counting on you sergeant!"

Lightning gave him a salute back in response, "Sir, yes Sir!" She turned her hovercraft backwards and headed towards the impact location. What in the Maker's name is happening here?

XXX

The meteor had landed inside of the crystal tower, penetrating its hard shell and into its deepest part. A man lay sprawling on the ground where the meteor should have landed. "Ugh..." He opened his eyes slowly and adjusted to the brightness. He held up his right hand in front of him and forced himself up.

He looked around and saw himself at a crystallized area. He had never seen such beauty before. "Where am I...Ugh!" He touched his chest, something inside of him was causing intense pain.

He made his way slowly from that spot and deeper into the tower. "That damned Sephiroth...Wait...Where are the rest of my memories Ugh!" The pain had intensified as he remembered that accursed name and trying to put his memories together. He remembered Midgar, his home, but...His friends! He had left them behind...

"All of this is giving me a headache..." As he stumbles his way across the tower he reached an opening. "What is this...?" In front of him were two crystal statues. They were holding each other's hands and had their eyes closed, as if in a deep slumber.

"Such beauty...Somehow it's kinda sad..." The man pitied the statues, to him it was as if they were alive. He touched the point where their hands met and suddenly pain shot through his body.

"Arggh! W-What's happening to me?" He tried to step away from the statues but his hand was locked to theirs. A shining light lit through his body and then- The statues floated into the air. The man panted and looked at the statues. They were dancing in the air and clothes appeared out of nowhere to cover their now naked human body. They're alive? The two human females floated downwards and landed softly on the ground. They were still shimmering from the light. He could see that they were breathing, at least.

The man watched them for a few seconds before prodding on one of them. The raven-haired woman groaned. "Hey, are you alright?" He asked and she groaned again.

"...Vanille?" The woman's voice was soft. "Vanille...Where's Vanille?" She looked at the man and asked him.

He assumed the other girl is Vanille. "She's right here, don't worry. I'll get you both out."

To his surprise the woman chuckled, "Heh, trying to be a little hero now are ya? Thanks..."

The man supported her up and went towards her companion. He lifted her up on his shoulders as easily now that his pain was gone. He supported them both and started walking towards a hole they had made during the transformation process.

After awhile the raven-haired woman finally got enough strength to walk. "Thanks again mate...Couldn't have gone out of there without ya."

"...I didn't do anything." It was true, he had only touched them and they turned from statues to human. Talk about a miracle...

"Nah, it was you alright. If it hadn't been for you we mighta been those Christmas ornaments for a few more hundred years. The name's Fang, what's yours?" Fang asked him cheerfully.

"...Cloud..." was his only answer.

"Nice name, could see why." She winked and chuckled again.

"Why were you two petrified like that...?" The question had been bugging Cloud.

"Petrified? No, no, see hun what we were just now is what you called crystallized. It happens when a l'Cie completed their focus." Fang stretched her arms. Really now, how long were we asleep?

"What's a l'Cie? Focus...I don't get it..." None of the words are familiar to him. Just where the heck did that Void take me to?

"Whoa there boy, asking 'bout l'Cie and focuses at your age is like asking who Santa Claus is!" Fang joked at him.

"Who's Santa Claus?" Cloud gave her a confused look.

Fang slapped her forehead, "Blimey, did you knock your head hard or sumthin'?" She looked at him in disbelief.

After awhile they finally saw the exit from the tower. As they approach it they could hear a loud noise coming from outside. The sound that beasts would make when they're angry, or when they're particularly hungry.

"Uh-Oh could be monsters..." Fang carefully tip-toed towards the opening and peered outside, "Looks like Behemoths...They already found their prey ey? Who's that unlucky sucker- Blimey, is that Lightning?" Fang couldn't believe her eyes.

Lightning was fighting off a swarm of Behemoths and Fang could see that she was already worn out. "Need to help her, say could you look after Vanille for awhi-" Before Fang could finish her words Cloud had already rushed towards the exit and jumped outside.

"Tch, first the hovercraft, now you freaks!" Lightning's hovercraft had malfunctioned on the way to the meteor site and she had unluckily landed in a Behemoth's nest. She already took out a few but they were outnumbering her.

Am I gonna die here? I can't die here, Serah's wedding is coming up! Thinking about that matter only made her more depressed. As she fought one of them another had snuck up and attacked her from behind.

"Tch!" Lightning was slashed and the damage had exhausted her. Her eyesight is getting blurrier and her gunblade was already thrown away from her hand.

I really am gonna die...Sigh* what a lame way to go...Wish I'd hit Snow a few more times...Heck, I wished I had a boyfriend before I go! Guess that's never gonna happen...

Just as the Behemoth had raised its claws to deliver the final blow, a man suddenly came from the sky and pierced its head, instantly killing it.

Lightning looked at her saviour in amazement as he eyed the Behemoths without fear. He has a light-blonde spiky hair and was holding a gigantic-sized sword. Where'd he get that? Online Auctions? Lightning knew it wasn't the time to be joking but she couldn't help herself. The man turned to her, "Are you alright?"

"...W-Wha? Oh, yes! I am!" Why the heck am I stuttering? His eyes- they're sparkling blue... Lightning shook her head vigorously. And what the heck was I thinking? We're in the middle of a battle for our lives here!

The man nodded in satisfaction, "That's good...Don't worry, I'll handle these guys..." He said calmly and raised his rather large sword towards the Behemoths.

He turned back to look at Lightning, "I'm Cloud by the way...Pleased to be of your assistance..." One of the behemoths sprung to attack him and he countered with a beam-like attack shot from his sword. The behemoth split into two. Cloud looked unfazed.

Lightning was awestruck. Who is this guy?
