Thirteen centuries ago, a fal'Cie, preternatural being formed by the crystal residing inside it, created a floating, utopian city in the atmosphere of a planet known as Pulse. The fal'Cie willed that the city be completely isolated from the crude and brutal wilderness below, and commissioned machines to be the guardians of the citizens. Barriers were subsequently set up all around the city, and as such was the metropolis granted its befitting name: Cocoon.
Having lived secluded from the outside world for many years, the citizens of Cocoon are now becoming anxious of what Pulse really holds. Recent contact with those from the world below has caused people to question one another and their ways of life. To keep things in check, the Holy Government ‘gets rid of’ those who question Cocoon’s way of life and have become ‘polluted’ with the world below, Pulse.
Now
Although world is full of fal’Cie, around thousands, there are two that counter each others actions. The fal’Cie of Cocoon see’s the below world as hazardous to it’s people and have chosen a select few from it’s world to become l'Cie. Cocoon’s I’Cie have been given the Focus to find the fal’Cie in Pulse(In Kouken) and liberate it of it’s crystal, so that it can’t create I’Cie of it’s own and cease to exist.
The fal’Cie of Kouken(Which is a city on Pulse) has come to dislike the technology and lazy way of life that the fal’Cie of Cocoon has created. It wishes to get rid of Cocoon by destroying its fal”Cie and therefore causing Cocoon to fall from the sky. It has chosen its own I’Cie to do the Focus of bringing down Cocoon.
The Holy Government sees all I’Cie as threats to the Human race. They seek to destroy all I’Cie from Pulse and Cocoon. They believe that all I’Cie have too much power and could possibly take over and become corrupted with the power of the gods.

Shingo walked out of an old building. It hadnt been used for decades. The nights sky was bright with many stars and the moonlight. But most of all it was shining from Cocoon. Cocoon's light shone brighter than the stars.
The night was silent. The sound of crickets and the creeking of the buildings was the only sound.
"The City of the Lost sure is a dreadful place."
A loud beeping noise started. Shingo pulled out a circlar divice. A hologram shown from it. It was a young woman about Shingo's age.
"Commander, we have located more l'Cie within Cocoon. I have sent troops to their location."
"Good job Seera, also I need you to handle the recent Infected we captured."
"Yes, sir."
"I'm on my way."
Shingo walked into a small Airship. It was just big enough for him to get in.
Seera was silent. Shingo knew she wanted to ask something.
"What is it Seera?"
"Well...sir...I just wanted to know where you were?"
Shingo turned on the Airship. The door closed and the ship started to lift off the ground.
"It's my business."
Shingo turned off the hologram. He looked out the window as the airship flew toward Cocoon.
"All of this better be worth it." he said to himself.
