On the once brilliant world that had been full of thick forest, Clear open skies, And post card beautiful lakes, an old being had begun to fester in his deep slumber. Lucifer Fallener awaken to this world. he looked upward at the blue magnetizing sky, And a flash of lightning took it away, Deep clouds of unnatural force energies filled it today. He shook the image has something he had dreamed up. Moving a few meters left there sat the stunning lake he bent over onto his knee to splash his face with its crystalline waters, However the moment his hand touched the lake another flash and he saw what it truly was; An empty hole, Or more of a crater. He shook that as well no way such things existed on this stunning world.
The forest line behind him remained, Its pure beauty calling out to him. A call he would answer. Lucifer moved toward it with speed under his wings, The logic he carried was if he got there before this plaguing flash he could save the forest. But that effort was in vain, A flash, No sound accompanied it as with the previous time. In only the microsecond that he was blinded did the forest that call out to him actually turn out to be one that cried out for the touch of anything living. A deep slash Bore its way through his heart, What had happened to this planet? He fill on both knees looking at what this world became. Death in every aspect of the word.
another call rang from behind him. Turning quickly Lucifer saw the only remaining pace of grass, If it would disappear has the rest of the planets beauty he knew not. But quick started down it regardless. Slowly the stride began upward going over a small hill top. Panting Lucifer made it this sight one much worse then what he had seen only moments before.
Normally this view would be something Mitsukai got the chance to see once in a lifetime. But today, Or everyday now, It was one of only horror, Only daggers of terror. The dead purplish sky hung over head, hollow trees spotted the landscape twisted branches and disfigured trunks viewable from this distance. defiled and deform creatures could be seen stalking the grounds, They were certainly not native to the world. Some carried huge spikes on there head for attack, Others spouted a sickle disgusting black-purple slime it de-fragmented whatever it touched slowly consuming whatever crossed the short distance.
He couldn't stand it anymore. Lucifer spread his wings, Appearing like some lightly brown colored shield. He jumped off from the small sloop. The two huge and powerful wings launched him upward a few feet, feathers dropping every time. Lucifer realized he didn't possess the strength to fly and fell hard to the dead ground nearly crushing one knee.
"Ya gonna kill yourself if that kind a behavior keeps up." A sly somewhat mocking voice warned from behind him. Turning to face the secret intruder Lucifer's eyes found the figure of a man, He too possessed two large wings only he had the energy to fly with them hovering over the crater he looked onward clearly amused by something.
"Who are you? What as happened to...here" Lucifer quickly asked, He couldn't remember the name of this planet something he sworn he could a moment ago.
"'What as happened to here'? you ask, Well 'course ya' did, Its simple, 'Here' Is tishi, your home world once upon a time." He flew across the large space separating them landing only feet away, Dark brown hair framed soft eyes.
"Well then what happened to...Tishi, Tell me now!" Lucifer pressed anger rising.
"That, My friend," "Were not friends." he interjected, The mystery man continued. "Is also simple, Jack Razor happened to Tishi, Don't ask for much more that is a long story, One i hardly know."
Lucifer pondered what the man told him, Keeping one eye trained on him. After a moment of silence he broke into another sentence. "So Lu' Its looking like ya' Don't 'member me." He said as casual as if they spoke over a cup of caf.
"Why would i?" Lucifer asked suspicion quickly growing. "Uhh Maybe 'cause we're brothers." The the shock registered on Lucifer's face within an instance then turned to suspect. "How can i believe that?"
"That's the sixty two million credit question, Really i can't, but give me time and you'll see." He offered a and. "Noctis Fallener." He looked at the hand, Seeing how he was the only other person on the planet this was a deal he'd have to take.

"Aright, Now that, That's outta the way lets get down to why you're here, Lu." Noctis started toward a large boulder to take a seat on it when the funniest question came at him. "Why do you continue to refer to me as 'Lu'?"
Stopping dead in his tracks Noctis slowly turned to face his young friend. "you gotta be kindin' right?" A quick examination of his partners expression told the whole story. "Wow you 'member less i thought possible." Moving forward the next few steps Noctis mounted the stone chair he'd seen.
"Its like this. You're Lucifer Fallener, The strait arrow, The golden boy, Or you were way before the dark star even hit. I'm your elder brother, Noctis Fallener, The always below expectations cocky runs his mouth failure. Noctis took a notice that Lucifer was clearly taking mental reminders of what he was saying, Like that worked last time.
Lucifer rose his head to face his apparent older brother. "Okay then, If what you speak is the truth then why are we still dwelling here?"
Noctis gave a shrug, That was an excellent question, And those he like to seem as if he had all the answered this one he didn't not the exact one he wished to deliver anyway. "We are here...cause ya...went and fell into a elongated trance or meditation somethin' like that." Smooth answer Noctis He thought.
"Alright then," Lucifer pressed. "Then how are we going to depart from it?" Noctis looked incredulous. "Why would you wanna little bro, This place is fine."
"No, No it is not, And if we are truly brother then you would see as clearly as i do we can not stay here any longer." Lucifer took his side of the fence and in all honesty Noctis couldn't stop him, he held no power over what Lucifer did; Yet. The best way to gain his trust would to assist in his effort.
"Aright, I'll help you," He said launching from the stone into the air and landing in front of him with a burst of speed that surprised even himself. "All you have to do is send out a call, Someone will answer."
Again Lucifer's face took on an all to confused appearance. Baby steps, Noc, Baby steps. Noctis told himself, This would obviously not be anywhere near the cake walk he'd hoped.
"you'll feel it, Tap deep into what little is left of the environment around one." Lu closed his eyes and clearly gave it his best collage try, A moment later he opened them; Nothing. This would take a while.
After a day of trying that Noctis thought it best to begin training in another more protective field, Flight.
"Alright, hotshot, this should come back a lot quicker and maybe jog some memories." The sun shone only slightly through the still ominous thick dark purple black clouds. Noctis had opted to moved away from the openness that the field gave to the more secluded dead forest, not much but better.
"what is it we will be practicing?" Lucifer asked emerging from out of the tree line. "Flying, Lu, Flying," He replied and moved closer to his wings. "These boys ain't just for lookin like a badass, They'll work with a little help.' Noctis took up position away from his brother but in clear view. "Lets see now much you can still do, Spread'em." he commanded at the exact moment he opened his own set of dark bat-like wings.
to Noctis tremendous surprise Lucifer actually did it. A pare of huge brown bird like wings cast a shadow in front of him. giving him a mocking ovation Noctis knew this was where he should push, A moment clearly reserved for an day, Maybe twos, Work in only minutes, An hour at most.
"Good job, Now can you keep up!" Noctis yelled as he pushed his body upward launching into the smock filled sky like a rocket. "Keep up or ya might never see me again!" He shout back still ascending ever higher.
"Wait!" Lucifer called after rush behind and using a large group of boulders to propel himself into the skies. The high volatility winds ripped and bullied him through the air. no sound making its way into his ear he knew he'd have to catch Noctis, who was about fifty yards higher and further away. But Lucifer had raw determination on his side.
Pushing harder and faster then Noctis could ever imagine, Or do, Lucifer quickly caught up to his "Elder Brother" But apparently that wouldn't be enough. As he flew to met the dark eyed bat instead of offering a prize Noctis delivered a rock hard blow which almost sent Lucifer plummeting back to Tishi but he found himself and centered med flight, Now ready for another cheap shot.
"Maybe i hit'em too hard?" Noctis pondered stopping his ascent to look downward, Nothing. no body that could be discerned through the dark clouds, No pursuing figure making another attempt at winning this little game-Then bursting from the thick clouds with a train running behind him came the fallen angel, Lucifer. He returned the jab with one of his own, Too fast for Noctis to counter, Then flew around in a singular circle ending with a drop kick which sent Noctis plummeting to his demise.
"No way," He muttered under his last breath as the decent continued. "No fuckin' way did he beat me..." as he started to pick up speed Noctis knew he wouldn't pull out from this one, Until a pare of large brown wings found their way above him. Lucifer he grabbed Noctis' foot and managed to stop the fall.
After they both landed Noctis offered a hand to his savior. "Now that's outta the way i knew a better place to train, Lets fly."

As quickly as they landed the two set into the air again and though it was full of thick clouds which looked extremely hazardous to anyone’s health, Lucifer and Noctis, The ladder leading the two, Managed the flight without break. The location Noctis had chosen took Lucifer’s breath away; There off in the distance by about two hundred yards shining like a beacon on this transformed world was a forest, It consisted not of dead trees which formed weeds and throes but of life-full branches hanging from large sturdy tree trunks. The sight was one see astounding Lucifer was even more determent to get there.
The remaining distance didn’t take long at all to cover; the whole flight however took over an hour and a half Lucifer soon realized as the night began to fill the sky. The large moon appeared as if it could be ran to and hopped right over, He know well though that was only a children’s dream.
“Rise n’ Shine Lu,” Early the next morning Lucifer was awakened to the loud mouth of his self acclaimed brother, Noctis, And though he still wasn’t sure of what to make of the man he did seem friendly however unorthodox his training methods were. “Are I am awake no need to yell.” He answered popping up from his makeshift bed on the treetops. Noctis informed him that even though this forest might look like a paradise there could still be dangerous trashing about.
“Today is a very special lessen, the basses for almost all force training and all I’m willing to teach you when it comes to the force. Sense.” He rose a figure upward not directing him to any one thing just up. “In order for us to manage and leave you’ll need to, How do I explain this…Signal another individual and ‘course that means they will land a ship here which means we can have a ship to leave here.
Lucifer contemplated what was being said to him before coming upon a realization. “And what would we do with the pilot and any passengers he may have, Noctis?” A thin smile cracked his lips before spinning on one foot and walking towards a tree. “We’d bring them with us of course, couldn’t dream a leaven’ them out here in the mist of nowhere land.” Of course, that was a lie and Noctis knew it he’d think of something when the time came for now the training took importance.
“Aright, niffs talkin’ time for trainin’ fallow me.” Noctis declared seamlessly charging the topic, Maybe Lucifer noticed, maybe he didn’t ether way it got them moving. Noctis lead Lucifer to the smallest of enclaves, Surrounded by trees on all sides it was very hard to come upon, He was dead lucky to have learned of it in the first place. A single light shone from a small outbreak of the trees onto a par of large stones setting about ten feet difference. The formation of the two stones made this the perfect spot for training of the mind, Body, And spirit.
“This’ll be where our trainin’ shale take place from this day forth, Formularize yourself with it.”

A singular light shone down from the treetops splashing directly against both of the large stones sitting in the middle of the almost too perfect circle the tree line formed around the boulders. One stone cast a shadow over the other, maybe it was some kind of symbolism nature itself intended. The green from the trees strangely enough didn’t fill the open space with a coat of greenish tint like Lucifer would have expected. In its place the almost garden like concave of trees were illuminated with a strange bluish-white color.
At the base of each rock and its surrounding area was White sand starching the length of both creating an almost too perfect location for hand-to-hand training. Even the outstretching branches of the trees avoided getting in the way of any potential training that could fill the open void. How Noctis knew of it Lucifer could only hazard to guess.
“Got it memorized, Lu?” Came his voice with perfect timing the same carefree yet ever so mocking tone called. “I think.” Was the slow still studying response Lucifer gave. “Good ‘cause trainin’s goanna start, Now!” Jumping off the tree he had been using for a vantage point Noctis quickly moved deeper into the forest. Not a twig, or a leaf crackled, no sign of him until his voice came again this time distant and muffled. “ Here’s some Simple trainin honestly, Lets see how long it takes for you to find me.”
“How am I going to find you-“ “Feel you way past the dark.” Noctis interrupted already anticipating the question. Although through the small area of light that covered the training ground bunched outward almost bringing light to the whole forest once Lucifer actually left that circle of illumination the forest was quite dark, He could barely see the hand in front of him. Noctis made no sounds in the living green and vibrant almost jungle like forest making the act of finding him much more difficult.
After five mintues, Or had it been thirty, Lucifer couldn’t keep track. It became obvious he wasn’t going to find him by conventional means, He made not a sound and left nothing close to a foot print, Ether Noctis flew through the forest or he wasn’t real. Lucifer decided it was time to try and “Feel” His way towards him. Lucifer shut his eyes in a effort to enhance concentration. Nothing, No noise a Mitsukai would make as far as Lucifer knew.
He tried reaching out, Not physically but with his other senses; No use. A hour, Maybe two flew by. No sign of him. Lucifer had already decided he was sleeping high in a tree but seeing how the forest was too packed to fly he couldn’t search that way. What a useless lesson this had been. Noctis probably knew it was too. Lucifer chose to return to camp until he showed up, Looking high and low would never work.
Another hour and he did show. “What’s the dealio, Lu, Give up?” He asked clearly pleased with himself arms open wide with fake wonder. “Yes, I choose not to partake in your game, Noctis, what will that teach me after all, I have no need to be an expert hind and go seek searcher.” Noctis’ face twisted in a laugh as he grabbed his stomach. “That was only a test, Dear brother, The real challenge will be calling a ship after your training.” Lucifer quickly snapped off a response flared with anger. “You continue to speak of this training but all you have really shown me is how to fly, You continue telling me about how I must summon this space craft, Why don’t you just do it/”
“I very good question, One that’ll be answered…Just not today.” Lucifer shook his head, The answer he’d expected from Noctis. “Listen, Lu, Its easy, Shut your eyes and do as I say.” Lucifer compiled anticipating nothing more then another half assed lesson. “Everything, And I do mean everything, in this galaxy of ours is connected, By one universal almost god like entity called simply; The Force.” He raised a figure effectively stopping the question the Lucifer had not even begun.
“This, Force, Can do the most awesome of things, From opening a black hole, To bringing life to something as small as this soil,” Noctis bent over pulling some dirt from the ground then placing the other hand over it.” Watch brother.” Lucifer opened his eyes as Noctis grew a small plant from pile of dirt he had removed from the ground. He then proceeded to place it back from where he pulled it.
“That, Dear brother, Was done simply with the energy in my body.” Noctis got his point across, Lucifer looked shocked. He couldn’t keep the satisfied told you so grin form his face. “Now may I continue with the lesson?”

“It all seriousness, Lu, The force is simply a tool of ours, Or mine at the time, But soon enough it will be both ours, To use however we want against whomever no worries cuz with it no normal people could stand up to you, Anyway that’s another time another place,” Noctis took up his place on one of the large stones, Though he’d never show it even that little display took a lot of energy, Maybe he hadn’t regained as much strength as he believed. “Aright now lets try a new challenge you wait right there, I’ll be back in ten.” Noctis had the bad habit of slurring his words together making them sound like one hard to decipher word. He fell elegantly down from the rock though it was only two to three feet worth of a drop, and then trailed off into the thicker of the forest.
Five, Ten, fifteen, minutes blow past while he waited after twenty Lucifer decided it was time to follow Noctis’ apparent path through the forest, Again no foot steps, crushed leafs, Or broken braches gave an immediate indication as to which way he traveled. It was Strange how careful he always was. Turning left then right and back and forth Lucifer quickly lost his way, Hours felt like they were passing, He couldn’t tell doe to the thick tree line covering any light from making it through. An odd fact Lucifer noticed almost immediately was how quiet the forest was, the only sure source of noise he could discern was that of his own footsteps.
Where were the animals? Noctis, More importantly? Where had he gone? Suddenly a sharp snapping broke the sky then Lucifer was down and Noctis towered overhead. “What are you doing out here?” He asked harshly in a low tone, near a whisper. “I had been searching for you.” Lucifer answered not bothering to quiet himself a fact Noctis rectified with haste as he covered his mouth. “Quiet, Lu, There are dangerous beast lurking ready to tare us to shreds.” Pushing the hand from his face Lucifer harshly shoot back. “What “Dangerous beast” I’ve been looking for you at least an hour and saw no such thing?”
Noctis hushed him again while pulling him aside closer to a tree for cover. “What you mean an hour, Twenty minutes haven’t gone by?” Luicfer looked at him with disbelieve. “I waited for fifteen and have been looking much more then five so yes twenty minutes have gone by.” Noctis shook his head removing the argument from his mind. “Doesn’t matter I got what I needed let’s get back.” He moved away for another moment and returned with a large flat plank pulling Lucifer back towards the “Camp” As Noctis referred to it upon first arrival.
Once they made it back to the camp, only after a thirty-minute hike through the tense forest. Noctis began Setting the board up between the two large stones afterward he sat on it ether to rest or test its strength. “Well its too late to continue training now, Tomorrow however well make some real progress.” Noctis Decided after the close call today he better take it easier then before, that one small trick put him out of action for at least two hours judging by the position of the sun. Lucifer simply nodded in agreement Clearly realizing the same.

Hours felt like they past in weeks, Each day the training grow ever so steadily until it became a practice of intense meditation, Dodging unknown obstacles that Noctis launched toward him, Hunting the deadly beast this world now produced, Flight training, Basic sparring, And time was taken for Lucifer to learn of how the galaxy worked outside of their small enclave. "By day's end, We'll start our way off this rock." That had been Noctis promise from the break of daylight and he was committed to meeting that deadline.
"Watch out!" Noctis sent a small stone flying toward him its speed incredible fast, Reflex training was what Noctis said this would prove to be maybe he wasn't just looking for a chance to throw things at Lucifer cause it seemed to work.
Moving only a few inches to avoid the round stone, Lucifer jumped up and over the spray of wooden shards launched from the sudden burst of a tree trunk. Propelling himself from the flat platform set up made for this training session and others Lucifer flew low keeping his wings close in check as he fluctuated between openings of the trees, Lucifer clung so close to the ground he could reach out and grasp his own shadow.
Looking forward saw Noctis standing confidant in his own ability to discharge Lucifer's attack. Though this training would not prove any benefit to his force ability Noctis had said its important to keep mind and body as one. Fully dropping his wings from their low flight Lucifer began a dip in projection. He flipped only meters from Noctis into a kick aiming center body.
A miss as Noctis dived under it grabbing under Lucifer's arm slamming him hard into the ground dirt leafs and broken tree branches jumped up from the impact. As the treeline fade to darkness Lucifer saw Noctis standing overhead looking down not very concerned.
Rain, Dark skies, A large building with towers jetting out of it, A man his dark presence sensed throughout the galaxy. Lucifer sprang awake as he recoiled from the image.
"Baby have a nightmare?" Noctis asked mockingly. he was straitening his attire from its former dirty and torn fixtures to a pare of tan boots and paints with a large overcoat also lightly colored.
"Where did you find those?" Lucifer asked the unmissable cleanliness easily noticed.
"Calm down i got a pare for you too," Noctis reached behind himself and threw a set of dark clothes on Lucifer's lap. He quickly cycled through his list of excuses for the inevitable pressing of the question, "Where did these come from."
Moving on with it himself Noctis finished his sentience. "I found a crashed ship, The comm work...So i sent a message to any passing vessels, We have a ship." Noctis had worked through the story three times since Lucifer's temporary reverence state.
"A ship! that's great, How did we miss the ship before?" Surprised by the question, Noctis expected something more along the lines of "Where's the crew?" But this was better. However it took cause for a different lie.
"You've been down for day's, Lu, I went searching for other life and found it; Two day's flight north." Noctis told him strait-faced, Lies were something he needed to make it off this hell hole, If Lucifer knew the truth of the whole situation he'd never go through with it.
"Other life, Who else is on Tishi?"
"Oh, Bad choice in words, I meant by life i found the ship, Scouts honor." Noctis held up one arm showing he meant no lie, His scouts honor depended on it.
"Now you want to keep chatting all day or go see the ship?" Noctis asked changing subjects in a flash. Lucifer agreed and after switching into his new outfit they were on the way.
After the trek through the forest and into the opening beautiful forward curving ship with interlacing decks and more then enough room for the two passengers it would carry. As the thought crossed his mind Lucifer wondered who did pilot the ship down. He voiced his wonder to Noctis, His excusing for no-one being around was simple, Autopilot, Though Little did Lucifer know most Autopilots would not be able to navigate through the harsh environment.
After an hour of explaining how it worked Noctis and Lucifer lifted off, Leaving the bodies of the three who felt Noctis call behind. "May the force be with us..." Noctis said before final take off, Old words he explained that was pretty much travel well and safe.
