Final Fantasy - All Series Fan Fiction / Fan Fiction ❯ Objective Legend: The Unknown ❯ Prologue

Trust me

There's no need to fear

Everyone's here

Waiting for you to finally be one of us

In this time are we loving

Or do we sit here wondering

Why this world isn't turning around

It's now or never

Wake up

Grab a brush and put on a little makeup

Hide the scares to fade away the shakeup

Why'd you leave the keys upon the table

Here you go create another fable

Walk with me until the time

Make the forest turn to wine

You take the legend for a fall

Welcome to the planet

Welcome to existence

Everyone's here

Everybody's watching you now

Everybody waits for you now

What happens next?

In this world

Why do we bother?

This is all just a dream

Why does it feel real?

It's impossible for this to happen

But it happened anyways

And it's not over yet

It's not over yet…

"It's now or never, children! Make up your minds!" Ansem sneered. He was getting more impatient by the second. The Cloud and the others were already split apart form the group, leaving the teens in the center of the "world" with their enemy- Ansem. The eight kids stood in a cluster to figure out who's going to fight this psychopath. "Well if anyone's fighting this freak, I volunteer myself to do so," Sibaru opened up, holding the Buster Sword tightly in her hands behind her back, half tempted to start the fight now and get it over with. "We need to separate these freaking worlds and get back to ours!"

"I agree with her. Count me in!" Keovu remarked, sticking up for her. He drew his version of Death Penalty, ready to fire at a moment's notice, with unlimited ammo. Both him and Sibaru looked at the rest of the group, waiting on their decision. "If worse comes to worse, you can fill in if one of gets hurt badly," Keovu added in, which made Sibaru feel insecure. After a few moments of thinking to themselves, one finally made his mind. Raising his hand, he mentioned, "I'm in." He then drew out his version of Squall's gunblade known as Lion Heart.

"Thank you, Phoenix," Sibaru answered with relief. Phoenix nodded in response. As loyal friend to Sibaru, he wouldn't see her fight Ansem without himself by her side, even though he had only known her for a year or so.

The three stayed while the rest backed off to the sidelines. As a result to their actions and choice, Ansem closed his eyes and before they all could blink, a dark shadow appeared behind him. Recalling back to the games he had played, Keovu remarked, "I'm pretty sure this is the second form of the Ansem in Kingdom Hearts at the end of the world. It shouldn't be that hard right?"

"No, it shouldn't. But remember, he had multiple forms after that," Sibaru responded back. She stood in between him and Phoenix, her sword out vertically, more in a defensive position then attacking, and ready. Keovu held his gun so that if an unprepared attack struck, he was ready for it. Phoenix was all-out in his offensive stance, in a position to sprint off at a moment's notice. "Yeah, kind of forgot that part," Keovu confirmed his error.

"So do you children believe the fact this is all reality and not some made up fantasy?!" Ansem questioned sternly with a serious smirk, starting the battle with a taunt. "Or have you forgotten that fact?!" It was dead quiet as an answer.

"There's one thing you most remember throughout your life," Keovu mumbled to himself, just loud enough for both Sibaru and Phoenix to hear, "And that is the fact that somethings only happen once in a lifetime."

"Yet I have a feeling it's gonna happen more often, love," Sibaru mumbled back serious and for sure on her statement.

"You know that poem thing is wrong," Phoenix said under his breath.

"Which one was that?" Keovu asked, forgetting the poem he was talking about.

"The one that went: Don't worry about me, I'm just a thought in your past. Keep on going, once this is over, your memories will last. Just think of it as a dream in your fantasy that lasts forever," he answered back.

"Actually it's half right," Sibaru softly interrupted, "Keep on going, once this is over your memories will last. That part is true."

"And the dream in your fantasy and a thought in your past parts are wrong," Phoenix confirmed. "This ain't no fantasy and these ain't thoughts in or from my past."

"Correct," Keovu agreed, "Same here. And I'm sure Siby agrees too."

"Will you stop calling me that!" Sibaru harshly spoke. She looked at Phoenix through the corner of her eye. "Dear, none of this is from the past, except for the fact this once was a game-"

"But now it's reality, Child!" Ansem spoke loudly over the three. He had heard it all. "It was once a game, but now, my dear, games have proven to be reality under your senses. You haven't realized the fact until you came here. This is only the beginning of your fantasy, kids. The Dream will last longer than you all think. This will become your past and you will realize all that was meant in this time of collision!" He stopped to laugh a baneful laugh to himself, yet more aloud, before continuing one extra statement. "In this reality, your lives end here. And if you manage to beat me, only more havoc will come your way. For my torturement does not end here. You all will see what I mean later, dead or alive. Fantasy or not, life is nothing but a game you cannot restart. Think about that, children."

"He can't be right," Sibaru mumbled to herself, though half denying it and thinking he was right. Keovu overheard her. "He's not," he whispered to her, "And don't think he is, Sibaru. He wants us to think that, just so it would be easier for him to kill us all!" There was silence, but after awhile Keovu continued, "Sibaru, listen. Walk with me until the time. I want you to hear your heart, don't listen to what the hell this guy is saying! Trust me. You love me don't you?"
