I wrote this a while back. It based on a short story I wrote, the two main characters reminded me a lot of of Cloud and Aerith. All the characters are original versions of their FF counterparts, expect for Mia, Lilly's mother. Enjoy. Chapter 1 A young woman in her early twenties woke up from a quiet sleep. She walked to the window, thinking, 'Something exciting is going to happen, I know it will.' "Lily!" a motherly voice came from behind her. Lily shook her short light brown hair out of her light emerald green eyes. A older woman appeared, she wore a apron and a blue dress. "Is everything alright, Lily?" "Yes, Mother." Lily bowed at her mother, and left her small cottage home. Lily was a special girl, but she couldn't remember the reason or anything of her past. "Today's going to be great, I know!" She said to herself, looking at the covered plate that covered the beautiful sky. She ran out the passage of her home, smiling. Somewhere else, a woman with short spiky black hair and bright emerald green eyes gasped slightly, she pushed her oval shaped glasses up on her nose and walked away. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It was a starry night in the sectored city of Asgard, but no one knew a great power was building. The one person who knew was a young woman around twenty two years old. Anyone could she was a beautiful and lovely woman, with shoulder length light brown hair in a ponytail and deep beautiful emerald green eyes. Dressed in a short sleeved red jacket and a light pink dress, she almost gave off a aura of mysterious gentleness. Her hair was up in a bright pink ribbon with a pale green orb in the bow, around her wrists were silver bracelets, and on her feet were brown boots. Dangling around her arm was a brown woven basket filled with beautiful flowers. The woman was kneeling in front of a mako generated furnace in a darken alleyway, its green colored amber wafts surrounded her face, lighting up her green eyes. She stood up, cradling something in her hands. Turning to the side, she pocketed the item and walked to a street corner. In another sector of the city, a train stopped in a station with Shi-Ra Company guards protecting the platform. A woman with short blond hair and bright blue eyes jumped out and knocked out the guards. Another woman stepped out, she had short spiky raven black hair and bright emerald green eyes, wearing oval shaped glasses. She wore a gray short sleeved jacket over a white long sleeved shirt with a silver bracelet around her right wrist, black pants, black leather fingerless gloves, and brown boots. Two men joined the blond haired woman ran up the stairs. A third man, he had short red hair and dark purple eyes, wearing camouflage style clothes. "Alright, lets do this, Mia!" The man said, excitedly. "Okay, Barrel," Mia Ganger told her partner, Barrel Waller, pushing her glasses up. She turned behind her and said, "Follow us, newcomer." Mia calmly led the way with Barrel running up behind her, a figure jumped from the top of the train, it was a man with long snow white hair in a ponytail and deep sea blue eyes. He wore some kind of military uniform, he stood up and followed Mia to the stairs, taking out two guards on his way. The unusual thing about the man was the large sword he carried on his back and the strange glow in his eyes, reaching the top of the stairs, the man joined the woman and the other men. "Wow!" One of the men examined the white haired man and his outfit. "You used to be in WARRIOR, alright! I can just from looking at you!" "WARRIOR?!" The woman shouted. "Bigs, aren't they the enemy?! Why is HE here?!" The other man, Edge, told her, "Calm down, Jess. He USED to be a part of WARRIOR. Didn't catch his name though...." "My name is Raiku," The man introduced. "Raiku Strafe." "Raiku Strafe, huh?" Bigs whispered the name to himself for awhile then said, "Well, my name is...." "Listen, I don't care what your names are." Raiku said. "I'm just here for the money." Bigs could only nod when the group heard a familiar voice shout, "HEY!!!! No traveling in groups!" It was Barrel and Mia running up, Mia turned to Raiku, looked toward Edge and asked, "He the new member of our rebellion?" Edge nodded while Jess entered the code to open the door, the door opened and Bigs, Edge, and Jess ran inside the reactor. Mia and Barrel stayed behind to talk with Raiku. "Mia, I don't trust that ex-WARRIOR," Barrel said. "Name's Barrel Waller." "Mia Ganger." Mia simply said, pushing her glasses up on her nose. Raiku nodded and walked with them into the reactor, Barrel turned to Raiku, a sour expression on his face. "Hey, have you been in a reactor before?" "Of course, I used work for Shi-Ra Company before." Raiku replied. Mia took off her glasses and stared down at her bracelet, sighing. Barrel sighed, he told Raiku, "Raiku, the world is dying because of Shi-Ra." "That is none of my concern." Raiku simply walked past the two of them. "I'm just there for the money, not a lecture and definitely not saving the world." Barrel grew angry at what Raiku said, but Mia stopped him as she putted her glasses back on and followed him. The group waited for Jess to enter the code and open the door, which she did. Barrel followed after Mia as Bigs entered another code to open the next door. They walked into the next room, and Edge entered the final code to open the door to the elevator. Bigs stood by the door, letting Jess, Mia, Barrel, and Raiku enter the elevator. Jess pressed a green button and the elevator started to descend. The whole room was quiet, Barrel turned to Raiku and said, "Raiku, the world's going to die if no one does something." "Look, Barrel," Raiku said, crossing his arms. "I don't care what happens to the world. I'm just here for my money." Mia grabbed Barrel's shoulder to prevent him from attacking Raiku, the elevator stopped and Raiku was the first to exit it. Following behind him was a cursing Barrel, a silent Mia, and Jess. They came to a long broken thick, Jess jumped to the other, Mia and Barrel followed, and Raiku followed out last. Jess stopped at a ladder and turned to Raiku, saying, "The spot is down there." Raiku nodded and climbed down the ladder, Mia and Barrel followed behind him. They crossed the bridge to the center pillar, Mia took a bomb and gave it to Raiku. "Shouldn't Barrel do this?" he asked. "I'm gonna watch you, so you don't mess up!" Barrel told him. Raiku sighed and walked over to the pillar, he planted the bomb and was about to enter the code when he heard a voice. 'Please, wait! This isn't just a Reactor!' Raiku looked around, but shook his head and entered the code. Soon, a red light flashed, Raiku ran back to Mia and Barrel. Mia smiled and walked with Barrel to the ladder when a red machine scorpion appeared. They took out their weapons, the scorpion attacked Mia, she blocked the attack, but it pushed her far back. She jumped onto the leg, running to the face and smashing her fist into it. Raiku slashed at the legs, Barrel shot his machine gun at the legs as well, Mia jumped from the face, taking out a thin bladed sword, before anyone could blink, she slashed the machine into pieces. Each piece fell, making a loud clack sound when they hit the ground. The trio ran to the ladder, Raiku climbed up first and noticed something was wrong with Jess. He walked over to her and saw one of her legs were struck. Sighing, he helped her free her struck leg, she smiled, Mia and Barrel arrived at the top. They ran back to the elevator and entered it. Jess pressed the button and turned to Mia and Barrel. "Jess, how much time is left for us to escape?" Mia asked. "I don't know, probably two or one minute," she said, a discourage look on her face. Raiku slammed his fist into the wall, a ticked look on his face. Before anyone could do anything, Raiku ran out of the elevator when it stopped and past Bigs and Edge as Mia, Jess, and Barrel joined them. They were well out of the way when the fire ring from the explosion appeared, but the shock wave made the group fall to the ground. Only one person cried out, it was Edge, the fire was caught on his pants, he was running around like crazy. Mia stood up and said, "We'll meet up at the station." "Hey....." Raiku spoke up, Mia waved at him, telling him to wait til they got to the hideout. Sighing, Raiku walked around the town when he heard a voice. "Excuse me...."
