Final Fantasy: Cross Dimensions

Chapter 1: Time

Ok so I changed the timeline a bit in this one. The group that Tifa calls her friends you know Cid and everyone. They are going to be chilling in the city and already know the kids.
So don't yell at me lol.

Memories filtered through and vanished. Voices echoed and then diminished. Hope came and then faltered... The never-ending cycle that came with wandering this new found hell.

Leonhart had won. He had killed his enemy, saved the world... But at what cost? During his fight when his friends fell one after the other their bodies had disappeared? The location and final placement unknown.

He had won the battle and possibly saved Rinoa but what proof did he have besides the fact that Ultimania was dead?

The lion of Balamb walked a few steps more, just to falter. His surroundings, pure darkness... The isolation was maddening, and with that isolation, was his mind... A very tormenting company that constantly reminded him of his mistakes and failings.

His main mistake that stood out even now..?

"Seifer..." He cried with a slight hiss under his breath. His knees gave out and he fell to the floor. Shivers wrecked his whole body and his hands clenched tightly over his chest.

Yes, he failed a lot of them... But the one he failed the most was his childhood rival... And once friend.

Squall had failed to see how the witch had warped his mind, how she turned him hollow and tore who he was. The torture he faced at the blonde's hands, the slightly trembling fingers that reached for him as if the old him felt guilty. It was too much to bear... And now he was alone. Allowed to cry.

The spirits shifted themselves within his head and seemed to wish to comfort him, but he told them otherwise. That he was ok and just needed this small amount of alone time... Even if this was probably his eternity.

Sob after sob escaped trembling lips as his nails dug into his already bruised and bleeding flesh. His consciousness felt as if it was faltering, his mind beginning to go numb. He was ready to let himself sleep in final rest when all white flashed and blinded him.

Wincing he shut his eyes, the world around beginning to shift when the floor vanished and warmth hit his skin along with the quickened wind?

(what?) he thought as the feeling of falling overwhelmed his senses, brown lashes fluttering open.

Upon his view came the blue sky, clouds after clouds dissipating from view. He was so distracted and lost he never thought to look down when a deep voice growled a "LOOK OUT!" Ifrit made his attention shift towards the building he would soon crash into.

But... Before he could collide into it, the creature of flames summoned himself, hugging his summoner close. Squall's vision was obscured seconds before the sound of a shattering building. The broken windows and cement resounded with the crunch of their bodies meeting solid ground. The sound finalizing the end of their fall.

Screaming was heard and all sorts of sirens and alarms sounded off... None sounding too familiar, the technology sounding... Different, wrong?

"You ok?" The creature of flames asked, lowering Squall close to the floor but still holding and cradling him in his arm. The magic the being had used to summon himself put Squall in a worsened state of bare consciousness... But overall, probably saved his life.

Eyes flickering in and out of concentration the man barely nodded his head. He couldn't actually speak at this time... Or just wouldn't chance it. That was until he heard footsteps approach, the sound echoing in his already pounding head.
