This will be my first try at writing Star Ocean fics. Like I said in the summary, its going to be about Fayt and Nel. Im always attracted to the 'forbidden' love, so if anybody takes offense to this, dont read it. And I DONT want to hear anybody say that people are starting to accept this pairing. There not. Iv accepted that. Might not like it, but I have.

Destruction
1) Make away with, put an end to, reduce to nothingness or uselessness
2) That which destroys, esp. a furnace for destroying refuse
3) One who destroys; swift war vessel using tools of death
Destruction. The one thing in the human phyche that remains a constant. Throughout history man has destroyed anything that he did not understand. From medival times where man would charge normal doctors who were trying to find new cures for disease as witch's. In the overtaking of North America man killed millions of Indians for thinking they were 'out to get them.' During the Revolution man destroyed one another for diffrent ideals. Then came along world war one, two, and three, each wiping out billions of lives. Then came the finding's of alian life on other worlds. If these aliens didnt abide by mans rules, they were promply destroyed. Then came the wars. The 'pangalatic federation,' the name humans gave themselvs, went on a hungry take-over of territory, not caring who had it or what. They destroyed countless civilizations in the name of 'peace.' Then, after a relitively calm time, another war came about, this time between the Federation and Aldians. It was a bloody war, leaving countless dead, and their familys without fathers, mothers, son's, daughters, brothes, sisters, the list is endless. Then, the last war was between the Federation and Vadeeni. The Vadeeni did attack first, but the Federation attacked soon after, both sides leaving the one thing that has always been a constant, destruction. Then the war was interupted by a new force, beings from 4D-Space, who also left a path of destruction in there wake. But this was stopped by a group of people who had a goal to stop this. Of course, when this started, they had no idea what was going on, all they knew was the destruction around them. This story takes place a few months after this roadway of destruction, only to begine anew. Unbenowest to them, however, they had also left a path of destruction behind them, not intentionally, but it was there. Now two of them had to face it head on, or end up as part of that path.

Nel was breathing hard. This work-out session was a piece of cake, but she had been doing it for six hours straight, four more then needed. But she needed to get this extra engery out somewhere, and training was the best answer...next to paperwork that is. Now that the war was over and the universe was saved, everything she did seemed so small. And now that her new friends were gone, she was...well, to put it plainly, bored. All she had to do here was train some newby's who were better off learning how to cook then fight, do endless amounts of paper work that kept piling higher and higher, do her regular rounds around the castle, a few simple missions, and train by herself. Life was boring. No action or excitement. No world to save, war to stop,lives to risk, people to see. Just the same thing every day. Simply boring. She had to do something, but there wasnt anything too do. It was getting tedious. Claire had been saying the past few days that she had been moody. Maybe she was right. With nothing fullfilling to do, she was getting moody. 'What to do, what to do...Well, theres nothing I can do right now exept keep to my routine,' thought Nel. So, after a quick wash in the nearby lake to clean the sweat from her face, she headed for the training ground.
'Same old routine, same cadets for an army that doesnt need to exist, same troubles and failures.' Nel walked to her post and inspected the group. Now that it was four in the afternoon, this group was getting hungry, but she didnt really care. Hunger was a great motivator in a fight, and it help them to learn to focus their energy on something other then food. She started walking back and forth looking over them for a likly cadet. Out of twelve, she picked four. The rest she sent home. She knew she was a tough teacher, but thats just who she was. Anything less would be a sign of weakness on her part, she must always appear strong and collected, or so she thought.
Every night when she was supposed to sleep, she would roll in her bed, her mind always working on any problem it could grab. Most nights it was ok, she could think of some problem with some cadet or something brewing in another town, but on certain nights, her mind would latch onto the memory of her friends. Those where the worst. Every good time they shared together passed through her mind like a knife through butter. Every laugh, sigh, giggle, handshake, smile, everything. Even the hard times. Every slice, slash, smash, cut, yell, scream, blood, everything. They raced through her mind at high speed, not leaving her till morning, then hammering her again the next night. They were always there, her constant companion. She didnt want to talk about it to anybody, thinking that that would show them a sign of weakness. She wasnt even sure if she could talk to most of her newer friends about it. She could only really trust one person. Fayt. But he was gone. She wasnt sure when he'd be back, if ever. She had seen his world, he had seen her's. Put them together and she knew her's didnt compare to his. What did it have to offer?No wonder he left to go back to his. It was time to move on. She would forget them so she could get back to her own life. I belong here, not there. That was the way it should be. Thats whats best...then why cant I get it out of my mind?

Sorry for any spelling mistakes, iv corrected as many as i could. Sorry if its short, but I wanted something to start with. Im open for reviews, good and bad, and if anybody flames this pairing, then ill flame back. Im quite protective of things that I like. Just a warning. Also, im dedicating this to the writers that stopped their fics for this couple. Iv only found four, two really short one-shots, and two good stories that they havnt touched in months. I hope that doesnt befall me. Thank you for reading.
