Silence echoed past the docks as the young ex-soldier made her eyes focus in on her new surroundings. It was too odd, not that she could have a moments peace to figure all this out. She wasn’t in Cocoon, not by a long shot. Not even Pulse. The events after that last battle were now all but a blur. And how exactly she had landed up here that was a complete and utter mystery. And was bound to be...till she atleast got her head around everything.
Her footsteps were light as she walked through the unknown area, her head beginning to throb. She had no clue how long she had gone without so much as a rest. Maybe two days? That had to be about the time she found herself in this funny looking town. But stopping was no option. Lightning needed answers. Or else, she would go insane. Where were the others? More importantly her sister? Was she at home? She really did hope so. Despite after all what had happened and having a little more faith in her only sister, she still worried. Especially since that last time...She shuddered unconsciously at that thought as she found herself at the harbour.
All so new, it wasn’t as easy to take in. Not with heavy exhaustion setting in. But she wouldn’t give in, not till she all this mapped out. But it would never be easy. Not when she had any recollection of what had happened prior to arriving in this land, far away from anyone she knew. Despite her current situation she remained....somewhat determined. To strife on and get home. Or at least the place she had to now call home.
Staring into the vast space before her, a feeling of unease swept over her sense. There was always something on the horizon, ready to throw her off balance.

These new surroundings were nothing like Sora had seen before, as much as he tried, he couldn't link this place to a world he has visited. Was his memory being toyed with again? Where was he? Where were his friends? Thinking too hard was making his head hurt, and the cold wasn't helping his cause. One thing was clear in his mind, he would not dread his situation .
He continued to walk past the docks eying the scenery trying to find the even smallest of familiarity, no luck . He than began to think to himself he hadn't seen a single person for who knows how long now, were the others here? He couldn't help but wonder as his thoughts got the best of him. He hoped he wouldn't have to fight, his body was exhausted from his enigma of a voyage.
He arrived at the harbor , he had been thinking so hard he wasn't concerning himself with the walk, something was keeping him pushing on . He took a moment to stop and look at the area. He strained his eyes a bit as he saw a figure. Could it be, another person? He rubbed his eyes as he walked closer. The person seemed to be staring at the area before them. He slowly approached, when he was close enough he spoke.
"Hey... sorry to bother but,.." he stopped to choose his next words , he was so exhausted his mind wasn't keeping up. "do you, know where we are..? , this place." |

The scent of the air was foreign, unwanted, unneeded. It only mixed up her head more. Of which she was not happy about. If only things weren’t as complex, even when she thought they had settled things once and for all...Only to land up in another place, with problems. Well, it couldn’t be simple, she knew that. New threats didn’t bother her, nor did the strange people she had encountered. Not many, as she barely said anything to the locals. Not worth it. If anyone was going to find out what had happened, it would have to be of her own accord.
Or else the effort would take much longer. Now that...she was certain. A light sigh left her lips as she stood there unmoving, unaware that there was another presence near her. She wasn’t sure where to go to next, not that she knew where she was going. That was the downside of ebbing in a completely different world. She knew that much, it was as far away from Pulse as possible. Another planet, she was certain. The mannerisms of the locals only put proof to that.
The light breeze only sifted past her as she stood, her bright blue eyes scanning for any sort of familiarity or...enemy. She had to be on her guard, after her last adventure, anything was a possibility. But...a light voice shook her from her thoughts. Turning her head to see him, she was relieved to see it was only a kid. Maybe around about Hope’s age in fact, so no danger...
Herr Eyes scanned his form for a moment, then traced back to the horizon. Closing her eyes slightly, she sighed once more. ”No” her response was blunt, to the point as she was tired herself. Opening her eyes for a second, she tried to not to come off as...intimidating. After all...it seemed like they were on the same boat.
”Looks like we’re on the same boat, unfortunately” she voiced as she turned to face him briefly, the feeling of unease drifting past her. ”Tired?” she stated more than asked, noticing his fatigued state. It was much like her own, though she was trying to hide it. No giving up, not yet.

All he was lying down and he could heard sea waves around him, but still his vision are rather dark. Slowly opened his eyes, his helmet's visor were suddenly activated and the codes begin to run in the visor.
Running system check....
Physical injury.... 0% Good
Equipment damage.... 5% Moderate
Your Status.... Good
Location.... Unknown
Exact time.... Unknown
Communication Signal Between Headquarters..... LOST SIGNAL
Team Status.... UNKNOWN STATUS
Slowly gets up from the sand, Templar was looking around for a while. He saw the sea and the harbor but things were likely different, he thought he was hit on the beaches of Bodhum but no, this place was more different than his home. His rifle still in his hand, his pistols still in his shoulder holsters and the knife still strapped below his gauntlet. Checking his communications, Templar begin to set the frequency between his teammates. "Vaillant, Stykes, Enrica... Come in, can you read me?" Templar asked within his helmet, but all he can heard is statics. "... Bollocks..." Templar cursed as he ready his rifle, ready to know where he is either in Pulse, or the other world he didn't know.
He approached the harbor while ready his rifle, to make sure ready for any threats. It seems that the harbor isn't hostile, Templar rested down his rifle and slung it behind his back. Takes off his helmet, Templar placed it under his arm while looking around, scanning for individuals. Something attracted his attention, he wasn't alone in this harbor as he saw two persons nearby. One of them seems familiar to him, the woman with pink hair and wearing Bodhum Security Regiment's uniform and there is no doubt, it's her.
"... Lightning?" Templar approached the woman and the young boy. Before he could say anything, Templar realized that the boy was in great tiredness as if he was fainting. Without haste, Templar checked and grabbed his bottle filled with fresh water, and give it to the young boy. "Here, drink this... it makes you feel better, lad." Templar said with his smile, then look upon back towards Lightning. "Never thought I see you here, and it's been a while Light." Templar said to his old classmate and also, fellow combatant and friendly rival as well.

He looked into her eyes when she faced him for the brief second, she didn't seem like she had any darkness in her, what a relief. As he took in her first response he was thinking she sounded disappointed . Was she expecting someone else? Did he interrupt her? He replied somewhat disappointed "Oh...". Then when she turned to him with her second response he felt a little better, at least he wasn't alone . Even if she wasn't a familiar face. He had found himself in this position before . all he had to do was have faith.
He then spoke, "Yeah, i'm pretty beat, but i'm okay. I've been wandering for I don't know how long from I don't know where,.. I've never been to this world before".
He thought to himself, if she's really in the same situation as I am, she must know about other worlds. He scanned the area around them once again. There seemed to be nothing much around Then he began to ask her a question of his own. "Are you waiting here for someo- He was interrupted by a mans voice. A man was approaching them. "A friend of yours?"Sora blinked as the man got closer and handed him a bottle of water. "Thanks"He instantly began to take a swig of some of the water, little by little not wanting to drink it all as he listened to the man speak attentively. Was he lost as well? |

Lightning half listened as the kid rattled on about being exhausted. She felt the same, to be quite honest. All that mindless wandering had taken it out of her. But Lightning was not the one to give. Even when she was fatigued. She would get over it, eventually. The boy that stood before her seemed of the cheerful sort, if a bit of a dreamer. Pleasant enough...without bordering on ridiculously annoying. He somewhat reminded her of Hope, though maybe he was more talkative than her younger silver haired friend. Thinking of her friends brought it all back. Where were they? And where they in any sort of danger/ she hoped not, and were sure...they were not. She was, of course, more worried about Serah.
Even if she had her own personal knight who would do anything for her. Most would say her little sister was lucky, but..Lightning did not happen to share the same feeling. Sure..she had warmed up to him..but she still felt apprehensive of her sister’s choices in life. She was only eighteen and marriage? It was a bit too sudden. It didn’t help the fact that the man in question could be a complete idiot at times. Sighing, inside, she really did hope that he was looking after her. Though...she knew he would be...
The future...her reason for being here was still unknown to her. But...mabe she would firgue it out...sometime. Her head tilted towards the young boy as he began to talk once more...wehn they were interrupted.
Her bright blue eyes widened as she heard her name being called. Focusing properly on the man before him, a pang of familiarity washed over her... It had been a while...but she was certain she rembered him. From school, from the Corps. She stared blankly as she tried to recall his name.
”I could say the same. But...how did you end up here?” she smirked, though she was taken aback by the sudden reappearance by an old face.
”Indeed it has, Templier” she finally replied, her expression staying the same. Impassive, unchanging. ”Guess you could say that” she replied to the boy, feeling just a bit awkward, at this sudden social gathering. Something she wasn’t expecting today.

She still emotionless facial ever, but he was glad to see some friendly faces around here even though he was in another world. What made him worried right now is his missing teammates, and feared for their safety if they're around here somewhere. The boy asked Lightning that is he friend of hers and she answered "you could say that?" to him.
"Aye, we're friends in the same military regiment... and high school." Templar responded to the young boy's question as well, with hearty smile towards him. Turned himself towards Lightning, his eyes went narrowed and gently smiled at her, and then rubbed his back hair for a moment. "When you're resigned, I thought you're gone during the Purge in our home... Glad to see you alive, but wait.... where's your sister?!" Templar suddenly remembered about Serah Farron, not only just friend to him but family member as well, he treated her as if she was his little sister but because after he was a captain of Bodhum Security Regiment and field commander of Bodhum Special Warfare Task Force, Templar rarely saw Serah again and asking Lightning to send his regards to her.
"I thought I the only one who was lost here.... but you too.... What about you lad? Are you local here or... like us?" Templar asked the young boy, as he was crouched down in front of him because he was tall. "I'm Templar, what about you lass?" Templar asked with his smile. Just because he is a soldier, that doesn't mean Templar don't like children. He likes them, except for rascals.
"Dammit, I've lost my team as well..... Did you run into them, Light?" Templar asked towards his friend.

"Good to see old friends reunited then". he smiled as he held his hand out with the bottle of water in it giving it back to Templar when he crouched down. Even though Sora hated being treated like such a kid ,but still he was grateful for their kindness . Sora feeling better now rubbed his head and gave a grin. "My name is Sora nice to meet you both, and no, I've never been to this world before.." he paused. "I've been wandering for days and you two are honestly the first faces I've seen".
Sora blinked as the man continued to talk about his lost allies, he then began to think to himself. "If they are from the same world.. then someone else I know just has to be here.." He then turned to look at Lightning as he thought to himself some more. "she doesn't seem to say much.. but there's something .." He decided to let it go, now wasn't the time for that . |
