Warrior of Light is intrigued to be back in the World of Dissidia. He makes his way back to sanctuary to find both the Cosmos Warriors who defeated Chaos And The Cosmos Warriors who destroyed The Manikin Portal.

Warrior Of Light says "How is this possible that all the 16 Cosmos Warriors are here?"

Bartz says "We're just as confused as you."

Suddenly Cosmos appears Before them.

Warrior Of Light says "Cosmos? You're Alive?"

Cosmos says "I am. Shinryu has turned out to be a puppet of Another more powerful god. This one wants to reset This World and His Own. He now controls The Chaos Warriors Along With Some Of Their Allies. These Allies Counter The 2nd Of The Worlds. He even controls Garbanth, Shannotto, and A man named Caius Ballad. I also called Prishe."

"Hey Warrior!" Prishe Says appearing from nowhere.

"Hey Prishe." Warrior Of Light Says.

Lightning says "Did you say Caius Ballad, Cosmos?"

Cosmos says "Yes but he is mind controlled. Same as all the other Villains."

The Heroes run to where They are Supposed to meet the mind Controlled Villains and find them along with one more. A FFXIII Original Character With SWTOR Sith Warrior Powers Named Mallisston is the name of the character standing along with them but Also The Creator Is There But Not Golbez.

"Where is my brother, Zeromus?" Cecil says.

Then The God Of Another World Approaches and it's...

Lightning says "Bhunivelze?! You're the god from another world. No Wonder You mind Controlled The Villains You couldn't have Caius thinking. Where's Golbez?!"

Bhunivelze lifts up her arm and Throws Golbez to the Ground saying "He is unworthy to be in my Warriors, This Traitor!"

Cecil says "Brother!"

Golbez says "This is it, Cecil. I can't come back from this. I have no master."

Suddenly Cosmos appears and says "Golbez, I accept you as one of my Warriors for helping us beat Chaos."

Golbez groans and says "Cosmos, Thank you."

Mallisston says "You still don't have the forces to match ours."

"That's What you think." A Voice Says.

Mallisston says "What was that?"

A Man lands in and says "Meet The Cosmos Warrior to counter you, Mallisston, in my adult form, Hope Estheim."

Lightning shouts "Hope!"

Lightning is surprised to see Hope of all people in this World.

Mallisston says "Your adult form is surprising to see if I wasn't used to it, Hope."

Warrior of Light says "What do you mean by 'Used To It', Mallisston?"

Hope says "Mallisston is a combined form of two people from Our World after Lightning with everyone's Help defeating Bhunivelze in between the old one and new one."

"Combined Form?!" The Other Cosmos Warriors ask.

"Yes. It is combined Of The Man Who Grabs Bhunivelze's Power from The Chaos and Combined With It named Malliss who is a mage and One Of His Generals who fell to me named Stone who is a Monk. Together they are Mallisston The Fel'cie Warrior Who Hosts Bhunivelze." Hope says.

The Controlled Garland says "As Our New Master's Number 1 Servant, He is our leader."

"Garland, Fight This Mind Control for you were suppose to become Chaos If You Failed To Defeat Me." Warrior Of Light says.

Bhunivelze says "The Goddess Of Harmony is Preventing this by existing in this world as I Have Already Told Garland."

Hope says "Time To Disappear!" Making The Cosmos Warriors plus Himself and Golbez teleport to Castle Cornelia.

At Castle Cornelia, Warrior of Light says "Is what Bhunivelze said true, Hope?"

Hope says "It is not. Bhunivelze is the reason Chaos hasn't come back."

Squall says "How do you know that?"

"Because Bhunivelze sealed Chaos Into me to make sure Chaos' Warriors would follow him." Hope says with A voice of Chaos hinted in to prove it.

"What the-?" Cloud says.

"We must split up and Claim Gateways for Cosmos. I need to go with Lightning since she and I are Each Other's Protectors. Talk Among Yourselves to see other going around and no one goes alone. Also if you wish to help us, just one of you will come and join Lightning in a crisis." Hope says.

"Hope, will you truly be okay with Chaos Inside you?" Laguna says.

"The Idea Of Chaos and Harmony is in every being as it is what makes up their Humanity. Chaos Needed someone to host him when Bhunivelze sealed him away. That host is me because my Body once Hosted Bhunivelze inside me. I will be fine." Hope says.

Warrior Of Light says "I hope what you say is true, Hope."

Lightning says "I Can Confirm it is. Lets go, Hope."

Lightning and Hope then leave toward Pravoka.

Chapter Text

Firion decides that he wishes to go after Lightning and Hope. The Emperor through sees him heading after Lightning and Hope and tells Caius Ballad of the Location of his opponent.

At Pravoka, Firion says "Emperor Mateus! What are you here for?"

"I am going to make sure my ally succeeds in his plan to stop Lightning from defeating Bhunivelze." The Emperor says.

"That Person must be Caius Ballad. Step out of the way, Emperor Mateus!" Firion says.

The Emperor laughs and says "You are going to have to fight me."

Firion battles The Emperor in Chaos Shrine and Wins.

The Emperor, Surprised by The Victory, says "You are pretty determined to stop Caius but you don't know the story behind Lightning and Hope."

Firion says "What do you mean?"

Emperor Mateus says "Lightning met Hope through the Purge as Lightning's Sister Serah turned into a crystal to move their world toward doom. The l'cie then went to Paulopulum And Hope's Mother Nora is killed by the PSICOM and Hope then, with Lightning's help, tries to get revenge toward The One he blamed Which was Serah's Fiance Snow. The Boy doesn't go through with it since Snow protected him from falling when the PSICOM Havoc Skytank attacked them on the rooftop. When he woke up, Hope battled a Giant PSICOM Robot to protect Snow by Himself and That is when Lightning and Pulsian and Fellow l'cie Fang caught up with them. They then went to Hope's House where they had to beat a PSICOM Havoc Skytank before undercover Pulsians gave them a ride to Gran Pulse. At Vallis Media, Hope wanted to give up but Lightning didn't let him and so did his Eidolon Partner, Alexander. After they beat Orphan, Hope had to live without everyone else because Lightning went missing and Serah went on a journey to find Lightning. That Journey killed Serah and was the journey that Hope was an Adult. After that came the Journey Of The Savior, where Lightning was by herself most of the time and had A Possessed-by-Bhunivelze Hope as a 14 Year Old as a guide. She used Serah's Birthday Gift from the first Journey to save Hope from the Possession of Bhunivelze and then, though words of her past self, she was saved by Hope from being the Goddess of Death and with that A Connection to Every Soul In The Chaos to Defeat Bhunivelze. So in other words, Chaos was the very thing that Lightning and Hope had caused the whole journey as it was only though their world's chaos can their world have been saved from the Gods and It is you who must think if They are willing to use Chaos to fight for their world is it the same with this one."

Firion groans at that thought.

Emperor Mateus laughs and says "Think about what I have told you." Emperor Mateus then teleports out of there.

Firion says "Is Chaos truly what Lightning and Hope would use in this world?"

Cosmos appears and says "Chaos is not always a thing that is evil. Chaos is only controlled to be evil in most cases. In the world Lightning is from, the Chaos literally made up a person's humanity and recreation as a being in Lightning's World goes to the Chaos to be reborn in a new life and through the chaos is how everyone remembers the ones who die."

Firion says "What? Is that why that God of Light in her world was evil because the chaos is humanity in that world?"

Cosmos says "Chaos in that world is a person's soul and that was something Bhunivelze couldn't see."

Firion says "I understand now. Is chaos in everyone's soul?"

Cosmos says "Yes. Chaos and Harmony are like light and dark or good and evil of a person's own heart. It is what saves us."

Firion says "Thanks for injecting yourself into this before The Emperor's Words confused me on which side Lightning should truly be on."

"Caius uses the Chaos as a weapon which is why people thought the Chaos was evil in Lightning's World." Cosmos says.

"So that is why Lightning is on our side." Firion says.

"Yes." Cosmos says.

"Thank you, Cosmos, for those answers." Firion says.

Firion runs in the direction of Lightning and Hope.

Cosmos says "It is what truly must happen to save the Chaos Warriors and their master."

Chapter Text

As Firion Fights The Emperor and Talks to Cosmos, Lightning and Hope are exploring the Sky Ship Bahamut. Then all of a Sudden, Caius appears and sends a wave of Chaos Energy toward Hope. This Separates him From Lightning.

Lightning says "Would you snap out of it, Caius?"

Caius Says "I have no clue what you mean."

"He truly has no control over his mind, but I see he only sent Hope 2 Gateways away. I must get to him." Lightning thinks.

Caius says "The Price to get pass me is your world."

"No It's Not." Lightning responds.

Caius starts by running at Lightning and says "Take This." He Uses Ruin on Lightning but she dodges it.

Lightning jumps into the air and says "Take This! Stay Down!" This Does a Ruinga bravery attack on Caius and it hits. She Then says "Garb Shift, 1st Class Soldier." He Changes into her cloud DLC Outfit Garb With a Buster Sword and Then says "Stars Rain Down!" She Unleashes Meoteorain on Caius finishing him off.

Caius says "I didn't know you could Garb Change."

"Neither did I, Caius." Lightning says.

"Lies, you knew. You drew upon your power as Bhunivelze's Savior to get to your Garbs." Caius says.

Firion runs up and says "Be Gone, Caius."

Caius just says "I will be gone. We will finish this later, Lightning." He then uses chaos to disappear away.

Firion says "I Heard his Accusation. Is it true?"

"I don't think so. I think my Anger at Bhunivelze just gave me my Garbs in this world for he had Caius send Hope 2 gateways from here." Lightning says.

Firion says "He uses the Chaos of your world as a Weapon. Emperor explained your world's Story to me. I then got even more information from Cosmos. Why did you like Hope have a chance to kill your Sister's Fiance, Snow?"

"To be honest, it was because I never have liked Snow. I just accept him because he makes Serah happy. The problem is, Since Serah is moving out of my home, I am going to be alone. Hope stopped that because he offered to live with me. He saved me after I accepted my emotions back into my heart." Lightning says.

"What do you mean 'back into your heart'?" Firion says.

Lightning groans and says "I pushed all my emotions out of my heart to become what I thought at the time was strong making myself a perfect soldier. Then I learned that was a mistake from a girl named Lumina, who was my younger self with my emotions before my mom died. After I learned that is when Hope saved me from Becoming The Goddess of Death. I've been experiencing my emotions since then."

Firion says "So You had no emotions during the 12th war?"

"Yeah." Lightning says.

Firion says "Let's go save Hope then."

Lightning says "Agreed."

Lightning says "We got to get to Hope."

"You sure care a lot about Hope, Lightning." Firion says.

Lightning says "Well... I..." She is blushing at that moment.

"Lightning, What's up?" Firion says.

"To be honest, ever since I got my emotions back, I found out that I love Hope like a lover would. It doesn't help that, as the Knight of Etro, I got to see him right after he got out of the shower." Lightning says "He is just so handsome and, to top it off, he is the same age as me in the new version of my world."

"So you and Hope is what really created your happiness?" Firion says.

Lightning nervously chuckles and says "Yeah."

Firion says "Then we better get a move on if we plan to find him."

"Why are you so focused on helping me, Firion?" Lightning says.

"Because I want to know of this connection you and Hope have so I can maybe see if I maybe had in a memory." Firion says.

Lightning says "So you still don't remember everything."

"Nope and The wild rose I had is my crystal. How Ironic fate can be that the rose that you wanted to carry turned into my crystal." Firion says.

"Now that I think about it, It's really it's petals that bring memories up for me." Lightning says.

"It's Petals?" Firion says.

Suddenly they are approached by Seymour.

"Seymour, what do you want?" Lightning says.

"Oh, Little miss trouble. Your little brat is causing me pain so I had to see why you weren't with him." Seymour says.

"What do you mean?" Lightning says.

Seymour says "I mean It's because of him that I can't get to my gorgeous Yuna. Yuna found him in a gateway alone and battling manakin after manikin which I had planned to use to destroy Yuna. The man made my trap be sprung early. Now I need some stress relief by knocking off your head. Sure, Caius had planned for him to do that but I want to do it now."

Lightning says "He must mean Hope is with Yuna."

Firion says "I'm sorry, Seymour, but you will have to go through me before getting to Lightning."

"Well then, bring it." Seymour says.

"I assist You, Firion." Lightning says.

The Battle of Firion with Lightning assist vs Seymour with Ephemeral Summoner assist starts with FFX-Fight with Seymour From Dissidia Final Fantasy Playing.

"Time to end you troublemakers!" Seymour says.

Firion says "Not Happening, Seymour."

The Two Battle it out with Seymour doing random oblivion attacks from Anima and Firion shoots His Bow. Eventually Firion wins the battles.

The Battle Ends

Seymour says "This isn't over."

Suddenly Bhunivelze appears before them and says "Oh but it is. You are not allowed to stop Firion or Lightning without my permission and their villain's permission."

Seymour says "What?!"

"That isn't how this goes." Firion says.

Bhunivelze laughs evilly and says "It is for my warriors or they get destroyed. It is the my word of light to use means of evil without having them being chaotic. Chaotic Villians's what Cosmos wants from the Villains after all."

Lightning laughs and says "Lies. You just say that to project to the people of this world that you are the good force."

Moogles of that world see Lightning say this and realize she is telling the truth. They send this memory through a world Wide Message on Mognet.

Bhunivelze says "What's this Mail going around this world?"

Firion says "Mognet? But why?"

Moogle Chief of a nearby village walks up and says "Because of me. I sent The Thing Thunder Lady Said Throughout the world."

Lightning says "Thunder Lady? Wait, you the moogle that was the shop in the 12th and 13th war. We traded rosetta stones to you for accessory slots."

The Moogle Chief says "That's correct. I believed Cosmos was the Good guy of this war this whole time but no one would believe me."

Firion says "Whoa, That moogle truly believes in Cosmos."

"I did swear to be The Heroes' Summon that is the Moogle in the Confessions of The Creator. And I swear It once again. You must defeat Bhunivelze." The Moogle Chief says. The Cosmos Warriors Gain The Light Moogle Summon. The Moogle Chief says "Wait, The Light Moogle Summon. There is another moogle around here that is dark?"

"I got to Find Him!" Seymour Says. He then runs off.

"I will be watching you two. Go get Hope From Yuna." Bhunivelze says.

"You don't have to tell us twice." Lightning says.

Chapter Text

(Welcome back after a long time to Dissidia Final Fantasy 014. Now we are onto a different Party then the last time we were writing.  The Party is Onion Knight, Terra, Cloud, and Tifa.)

Terra says “It’s good to finally meet you when I am not controlled by Kefka, Tifa.  You Must Really Care For Cloud to come with Me, Onion Knight, and him.”

Tifa says “Yeah, I didn’t know it when I first summoned but he is my childhood friend.  Then I went back to my and His World and learned that. I also learned it was Sephiroth who killed our friend Aerith to get Cloud to fight him.”

Terra says “What? He attacked Firion, Tidus, and Cecil to get Firion’s Wild Rose to Make Cloud have a reason to fight him.”

Tifa says “That sounds like him. He is always coming back somehow.”

Cloud says “Yeah. Then he says I just followed him and that was my childhood dream: To be Like him. But then He got infected with Geostigma and he got me infected with it too.  It would have gotten everyone in that Reactor if I hadn’t blown it up.”

Tifa says “Yeah.  Still A Bunch of Kids got it and that was how Kadaj got to turn himself into Sephiroth.”

“Hopefully Me Drinking Aerith’s Church water will stop him from ever coming again in my world.” Cloud says.

“You guys have been through a lot.  My fight almost completely destroyed my world thanks to Kefka but we were able to stop him once we got everyone together eventually.” Terra says “What About You, Onion Knight?”

Onion Knight says “It is complicated right now.  I fear because what you are seeing is not my…”

Cloud says “Your What?”

Mallisston Appears in Front and says “His True Self.  I got permission from Bhunivelze and your villains to do this.” Mallisston then uses a spell at Terra that Onion takes the hit which makes him fall over on top of terra. Mallisston Then says “That worked just as planned.”

Tifa says “You Bastard!”

Cloud says “Tifa, assist me in fighting Mallisston until Terra can get Onion Knight Up. Terra, Try to Wake up Onion Knight.” 

Tifa says “You got it, Cloud.”

Terra says “Alright.” 

Cloud With Tifa Assisting him then starts to battle Mallisston with Counterfeit Youth Assist in The Area They are in which is World of Darkness.

Meanwhile Terra Tries To Wake Up Onion Knight With Her Words.

In Onion Knight’s Mind, The Spell Constantly Shocks him trying to get him to reveal his true identity.

A Voice says “You do realize your true self in your own world is being hurt by this too?”

Onion Knight says “I do but it’s because of the relationship I have in that world that I can’t reveal  my identity in this one.”

The Voice says “Both of you will die and you don’t want that.  Your Love In That World Doesn’t Want that. And If you listen outside your mind, you see someone else who doesn’t care who you are but would miss you if this killed you.”

“Please, Onion Knight, Don’t Die.” Terra Said outside The Mind.

Onion Knight says “Why does it matter to you so much if I die, whoever you are?”

The Voice says “You truly don’t remember my voice and your mother’s voice.  Then again you were just a baby when Cloud of Darkness killed Us And Took Control of the World Of Darkness.”

Onion Knight says “What?”

“That’s right. I knew you before Cloud of Darkness became evil.  You are my son, well the light-half of him.  I am The Oblivion King. You are the light half of the Oblivion Prince. Your mother and I were killed by Cloud of Darkness because of a being of another deity of this world corrupted her.  She was originally our advisor.  Just to let you know, Terra Is Your Destined Lover.  Don’t tell her yet though.” The Oblivion King says.

“Why? Because It would make her unhappy?” Luneth says.

The Oblivion King says “No The Light of My Son.  Listen To Her Next Whisper that Cloud and Tifa won’t hear to know the truth.”

Outside Onion Knight’s Mind, Terra gets her Mouth close to Onion Knight’s Ear and whispers “Please Don’t Die, Onion Knight.  I love you.” A Tear Come down as she tries to kiss him on the cheek.

Inside, Onion Knight says “She loves me.  Wait Esper form? Her world had a princess that was the daughter of an esper and a human but that esper died before the party could find him and they never found the princess.   Wait a minute, Terra was awfully quiet in that castle.  Oh my god, She’s The Esper Princess.”

The Oblivion King says “That is right, the light of my son.”

Onion Knight’s eyes open and Terra is still heading for the cheek.  He makes the kiss hit his mouth.

Terra says “Mmmph…” She then settles into it and, after it ends, she says “Onion…”

“No…” Onion Knight says.

“Huh?” Everyone else says.

Onion Knight then starts to morph until he becomes the NT Bladewielder outfit.

“The Name Is Luneth.” Onion Knight AKA Luneth says.

Mallisston shouts “What?!”

“You didn’t expect this, did you Mallisston?” Luneth says “You expected I would rather die. The words from my father sending me a message from the grave made me realized that this is truly what is meant to happen in this altered Dissidia Timeline.”

“Altered?” Cloud, Terra, and Tifa say.

“Yes You are right, Luneth. It is altered because In This one Cosmos Lives instead of becoming Materia.  This is an Alternate Universe To NT Universe.  I just so Happen to be the leader of its current Villain’s Servants.” Mallisston says and then laughs evilly.

“Job Change, Dark Knight!” Luneth says.

Mallisston says “What? Where’d he go?”

“By Mind Control you are.” Luneth says as he appears behind him in The DS Remake version of FFIII Dark Knight Job.  

“What The-?” Tifa says.

“Murakumo Darkness!” Luneth Says As he unleashes The Legendary Blacksmith weapon combined with Darkness onto Mallisston and then grabs his first Ex-Core.

It hits Mallisston and sends him flying, making Mallisston say“Argh. But How?”

“Job Change, Evoker!” Luneth says as he becomes an Evoker.  He then summons the 3 most powerful summons doing their weaker summon Attacks.

Mallisston gets hit by all 3 of the Summons’ Attacks.

“What is That Class?” Cloud says.

“It’s called Evoker.  It’s like a weaker version of Yuna’s Class but in my world.  My World’s Summoners Had Horns hence my quote with her in Dissidia 012.” Luneth says as he grabs a second ex-core.

“Why you-!” Mallisston says.

“Job Change, Ninja!” Luneth says.

Mallisston says “What? He isn’t in ex-mode?”

“Throw, Shuriken!” Luneth Shouts.

Mallisston gets hit by all the shurikens.  Luneth then grabs a Third ex-core.

“This is not my Ex-Mode anymore.  And Neither is…”  Luneth says.

Mallisston groans.

“Job Change, Sage!” Luneth shouts “Holy and Meteor!”

Mallisston then gets hit by the holy first and then the meteor. Luneth then grabs his 4th and final ex-core needed for ex-mode.

“How is this Possible?” Mallisston says, Groaning.

“You, Mallisston, have the true nature of the Third World Characters.” Luneth says and shouts “Ex-Mode, Job Change, DS Style Full Onion Equipment Equipped Onion Knight!”

“Whoa!” The Ones Besides Mallisston and Luneth shout.

Mallisston just growls. 

“Say Hello To The Onion Equipment but it is the Onion Blade, made by the Legendary Blacksmith of my world herself, Instead of The Onion Sword.”  Luneth says “Take This! One More!” Hitting him with Swordshower and then activating his ex-burst.  “You Shall feel the wrath of this spell.”

Mallisston says “No.  Heroes aren’t supposed to have that spell.”

“Heh, That’s changed with the Alternate Universe Creation! Death!” Luneth Shouts and unleashes the Death Spell On Mallisston.

Mallisston Can’t help but fall to this ex-burst saying “This is not the end…”

Luneth says “For This fight, It is.”

Outside the battle, Mallisston breathes fast and then says “Time that I retreat.” He then vanishes.

“Luneth, your ex-burst is now Death?” Terra says.

“Yes, Esper Princess.” Luneth says.

“Ah, So You figured that out.” Terra says.

“It doesn’t matter who you are.  To me, you will always be Terra.” Luneth says.

Suddenly a laugh is heard.

“What is that?” Tifa says.

Cloud of Darkness says “Very Well Said, Luneth, but do they know where the death spell was in your world?  It was in the dungeon before the second-to-final dungeon AKA The Forbidden Land: Eureka. Think about that, You three.”

“Let me tell them why I used it against your minor enemies.  It was because You were going to bring the void over both the world of light and the world of darkness which would have ended all life.  Those Weapons and techniques in the Forbidden Land of Eureka were only to be used at the most desperate of times as they were possessed.  We defeated them and made the possessed in the weapons.  The Techniques, armor, Shurikens, and Apollo’s Harp were all given to us as our award for stopping those possessions. So, in a way, our going there was proof of being heroes.” Luneth says.

Cloud of Darkness says “Hmm Seems You have that all planned.” 

“I did. Leave Now. Now is not the time to fight.” Luneth says as he goes back to his default look.

Cloud of Darkness says “I shall.” She then leaves.
