Night Light

Noctis is bored of fighting the Magitek Troopers that seem insistent on raining from the sky every five minutes. At first the thrill of battle had been elating, but the Empire's attempts to kill him were nothing but frustrating at this point. Ignis shouts a warning, the hatch of the Imperial Aircraft opens up and mechanical soldiers attack. It's the same metal men, over and over. Nothing's unique about them and not one has ever stood out from the rest. Not until today.--In which Insomia never fell and the Empire focuses on trying to kill Noctis instead. Prompto never left Niflheim: he's a Magitek Trooper, a failed experiment raised by Ardyn only to be crammed into an airship and sent to die. Prompto is lumped with a group of other MTs and dropped off near the Prince. However, it soon becomes apparent that orders to kill can't override Prompto's desperate desire for friendship, nor his love for Chocobos.
