Uh, well, I’m not sure! I’ve read some of the topics, but I’m not sure what the order of those topics is completely.
I’m guessing Bart came back and made Light and Fang into L’Cie again, while Cid was told by Eden to make Bart think he was his ally and Vanille went off to find Snow. Only Lightning and Fang found him first and are currently debating about Serah's whereabouts, correct?
If so, and this is just off the top of my head, so no making fun of me. >
;P Something like this could happen:
After Serah found out about Lightning’s… situation, she basically became a little more distant because she spent most of her time trying to find out something, anything, about L’Cie so she could help her sister. NORA is still in Oerba with her and notices the difference in behavior but think she just misses her family and don’t press the issue.
Bart could step in, promise to take Serah to some ancient ruin where she’d be able to find out anything she wished about fal’cie and such, Serah would accept, POOF goes Serah to some completely unrelated ruin (Or one that actually teaches her stuff about L'Cie, since Bart works in weird ways). Bart
crossdresses poses as Serah occasionally, and since she’s been acting differently anyway, NORA doesn’t really notice the difference since they’re not as close to her as Light and Snow (Maybe some of them would notice, but Bart manages to manipulate them?).
At this point Snow, Light and Fang could come to Oerba and have a cool reunion with NORA, afterwards they meet Serahthandelus but NORA’s just like, “Oh she’s been acting differently for a while now, don’t worry!” but either Snow or Lightning (Or both?) see through the charade and Bart is forced to reveal his true self? This way, he could make those characters that wanted to be L’Cie (I think I read a conversation in the cbox at some point about Maqui and Yuj becoming L’Cie?) into L’Cie, while giving everyone a purpose; Find out about your focus, try and find out why and how Bart came back, and for Snow and Light, they could try and find out where Bart hid Serah.
Meanwhile, Cid could thwart Bart’s plans (That rebel!) by finding Serah and taking her somewhere else, so when Bart comes back for his bait, he’s like “WAT?”
In the case of Bart actually taking her to where she
wants to be, she could think Cid is the bad guy and escape from him, and then... something happens, she meets someone and they're like "OMG where the heck did you come from?!" or she could run right back into Bart and think him to be the good guy or something.
If that doesn't happen, maybe Cid and Serah could meet up with Vanille at some point? (Since I didn’t mention her before, shame on me)
Maybe Bart could mess with Vanille, make her believe he has Fang or something, lure her into a trap and use her as bait for Fang (For whatever reason, can't think of one right now). Maybe try and play Fang and Light + Snow out against each other by using both Serah and Vanille?
Every original character could easily find a way to fit into that as well, I think. They could be in Oerba and get made into L’Cie with the rest of the gang, they could end up accidentally running into Serah, they could run into Vanille and hang out, side with Bart because he's awesomecakes. IDK.
That's it... basically. XD None of it needs to happen, but since no one was discussing yet, I figured I'd just throw
something out there for people to discuss.
