An unofficial sequel to Final Fantasy 6. Prologs set up the story, telling what has happened before. It's only a brief overview, NOT to be confused as the whole story.

Prolog 5-Surviving the Apocalypse

On the World of Ruin, all was desolation. The dread, destructive force of magic exploded over the planet and caused destruction. Humankind was swept away and not many survived. Those that did were scattered. A few towns were spared after the Cataclysm. The time afterward was one of danger. Monsters- animals mutated from the magic-roamed the land.

A group of humans that survived were the same ones who had tried to prevent the destruction. They failed, and found themselves separated across the globe. Through a series of quests and adventures, the heroes came together again. They found that the one responsible for the condition of the world was alive. He had barricaded himself within a gigantic tower. He had also stolen most of the magic of the world and captured it therein. Their way became clear. They had to gather the remaining magic and assault the tower. To do nothing would sentence the world to a decline and slow death.

After overcoming many obstacles, they confronted Kefka. Gone mad with power, he attempted to resurrect the God of Chaos. To do so, he nearly destroyed the planet. Though through much sacrifice, they managed to banish him to Abaddon, realm of the dead. Triumphant, they left to lead their lives in peace.

Many years have passed. Mankind has picked up the pieces and begun to rebuild. Peace between monster and human bred intolerance in time. Technology regained used resource, and that, in turn, required expansion. Prosperity for the humans meant a plundering and taking over of wilderness.

Those responsible for the expansion are at odds with monsterkind. Seeds of war are coming to fruition. Ancient powers are about to unleashed. And as if that weren't enough, a new menace is about to threaten the land...
