hey, viv the black mage here and have an idea for my entrance if alright with you, it involves goldshard, here it is
as Goldshard starts toward the portal he turns towards the ocean where another portal just opened, on it is a man who is reckognizable due to his pointy hat. A group of fish heartless jump out of the water to attack him, Goldshard prepares to attack but sees a orb of magic pull the heartless together and pull them under the water(demi). the boat makes it to sure and the man gets out of the boat(its vivi from ff7,) see's shard and falls on his knees."sir it is I Vivi, i bring word from hollow bastion, a man who calls himself juggernaut is attacking the castle with a army of big body heartless, i did my best but couldn't hold them off, this man is unstoppable(punn), i barely escaped, the castle wont last much longer without me but i need your help sir."
The story is vivi is goldshard's head mage who he left in charge of hollow bastion so goldshard could go help the others, when vivi was a kid in the ff9 world he was attacked by a heartless behemoth and saved by goldshard who then teleported him to hollow bastion where he trained him to be the guardian of hollow bastion in his absence.
If vivi or juggernaut have already been used then tell me or if you have a problem with this story please give me some pointers, otherwise i think it puts more perspective on goldshards past with hollow bastion
