Ok, i've decided, i will write my own take on Lightning Returns, and use the info about what has been told so far to try and come up with what i think would happen in the game.
NOTE: For those of you who are getting into the XIII games and like them, and will get LR FF XIII, DO NOT READ THIS That includes you too BLACKSTAR. This has spoilers from both XIII and XIII-2, and unless you've finished both of them, DO NOT READ THIS. Unless you want the games to be spoiled for you. Hope you all enjoy!
A huge portal opened up in the sunny sky, and 3 people came falling out of it. A 21 year old woman, wearing clothing that was a mix of pink and white, named Serah Ferron. She had rosy pink hair with her hair tied in a braid, and following behind her, was a curious creature, known as a Moogle, among the mythology of the people of Cocoon. The Moogle was named Mog, he had stubby arms, and was quite small, having a bobble on its head. Alongside them, fell a young man, strong, and well built, wearing the kind of clothing you'd see in a Kingdom Hearts game. To be more precise, he had a black vest, with a blue color, and a butterfly inprinted on the back of his shirt. On his back, was a sheath, where he store 2 swords, one big, and one small. His name, was Noel Kreiss.
As Noel and Serah fell through the sky, a chopper flew and stopped directly where they were going to land. "Look, The Heroes are back!" Yelled the dark skinned man flying the chopper. He wore a Green Jacket, and was around the age of 40. His name was Sazh Katzroy. Alongside him, was his son, Dajh, who was around the age of 9 or so, and had a Baby Chocobo who lived in his afro.
Noel landed on top of the chopper first, and friendly slapped it. "Nice Catch!" He then held out his hand to Serah, and when she grabbed his arm, he spun her around to have her come to a slow descent. "Are you feeling alright Serah?" Noel asked. He knew that since they had changed the future, Serah was liable to have another vision, that would take another piece of her life away, shortening it. Serah replied, "Yes, im ok." She walked to the edge of the carrier and stared out into the city below, known as Academia. "It'll be good to see everyone again." She then looked towards the portal they came out of, and saw it fading, until it was completely gone. "The gates are closed." Noel said, "Its the end of our journey." Serah looked towards Noel, and said, "Noel, thank you." She was grateful for him coming to her that day in New Bodhum, giving her the chance to see her sister and loved ones again.
Then, the unimagineable happened. Serah started gasping loudly, and Noel saw something in her eyes. It was the mark of Etro, which meant one thing. Serah was having another vision. "No, not now, PLEASE!!" Serah saw things that confused her. She saw Noel, dressed in darker clothing, attacking someone, dressed in black armor, with a White kilt, and Ruby colored sword. She saw Fang, sitting in a room, with animal pelts on the walls. She even saw Snow, peering down into what looked like a party, but he looked so different. His hair looked longer, and he didn't seem as cheerful and out going as she once knew him. Lastly, she saw a woman, who was sitting on a huge throne, made of crystal. She wore Valkrie like Armor, and at one glance, Serah knew who she was. It was her sister, Lightning.
While this happened, Noel grabbed Serah by the shoulders and shook her, yelling, "PLEASE, SNAP OUT OF IT! NO!" She almost fell backwards, but Noel grabbed her by the hand and pulled her to him at the last second. She then breathed her last, and she buckled, taking Noel down to the bottom of the Carrier with her. Noel checked her pulse, but felt nothing. He looked up to the sky, a tear streaming from his eye. "SERAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
A man clad in a Yellow and White uniform was dropped onto the carrier Noel was on by another carrier, and ran to his side. His name was Hope Estheim. He saw Serah lying in Noel's arms and was awe struck. "But....Why? You guys were safe, EVERYTHING WAS FINE!!" Noel looked down with regret saying, "The future changed. It changed. If you change the future, you change the past. The effects ripple outward, up and down the timeline. The seeress is forced to see it all." Hope looked puzzled. "So Serah, she saw this vision?" "Yes.....And it killed her." Noel said mournfully. "She knew the risk, if we altered the future, she knew what would happen, that her life would be in danger..........But, she still chose to save it. And i wanted to protect her." Noel held Serah right up to his chest, tears streaming down his cheeks. Hope looked down mournfully, sad that this fate had occured to such a wonderful person.
Then, the sky darkened, clouds blocking out every bit of sunlight. Bells seemingly coming from nowhere rang Loud enough for the entire city of Academia to hear. Noel laid Serah down to rest on the ground, and looked up to the sky, when Mog collapsed. Hope caught him, and Mog said, "The Goddess....She is gone, Kupo." He then passed out.
Noel's mentor, Caius Ballad, had told him of what would occur should he die. His words rang in Noel's ears. "The heart of chaos beats in my chest. A manifestation of Etro. Should this heart stop beating, the goddess will die once again." Prior to arriving to Academia, Neol and Serah had fought against Caius, and Caius ended up taking Noel's sword and driving it through his own chest. Noel refused the heart of chaos, and it stopped beating. This shocking realization passed through Noel's mind, and he looked down at his hands. "I.....I killed the GODDESS?!?!?!" Large Black Winds, visible to the naked eye pelted Noel and Hope constantly, the bells ringly more frequently now. "When the goddess dies, the chaos of Valhalla is unleashed." A large, violet gate appeared in the sky, in the shape of a Vertical Eye. It opened, and large Black Clouds known as Chaos fled through it and spread through the city, and the world. "The chaos has the power to warp the timeline, and destroy the past." Alongside the Chaos, Large White lines of energy spread, circling the many buildings.
The chaos had been released. Gran Pulse and Valhalla had merged, to form a new world. Nova Crysallia had been born.
(Ok guys, this is notthe end of the prologue chapter, i will make a new post sharing the second part of this Prologue, explaining more about how the heroes went their seperate ways, and then i will start theactual story. This part was justrecapping on the ending of XIII-2, and how Nova Crysallia was created.)
