Good day to you ladies and germs. This is a special story, which is going to take a long ass time to complete. I just want to be clear that this is going to be different than most apocalypse stories. So here it is, "Heartless Apocalypse."
Sora, Donald, Goofy, and Beast rushed into the room where Maleficent had run into. They had just beaten her in battle, and chased after her so they could finish her off.
"Need some help?" a voice asked. It was Riku. He had a plan to finish Sora off.
"Yes, I do." Maleficent said darkly. She then grabbed Riku by the throat, and started to drain the darkness out of him, giving her more power.
"Riku!" Sora shouted.
Maleficent laughed evilly. "Thanks for the darkness boy."
She then tossed Riku aside.
Sora rushed to his side.
"Riku, are you okay?" he asked.
"Sora…" Riku croaked.
"Hang in there buddy." Sora told his best friend.
Maleficent cackled evilly, spreading darkness throughout the room.
"Come on!" Sora shouted, as he and the others started to run.
"Wait, the princesses!" Riku exclaimed.
"Crap, I almost forgot!" Sora replied. He, Riku, Donald, Goofy, and Beast ran into the room where they were being held.
"Everyone, grab a princess!" Sora yelled.
Sora grabbed Kairi and Alice, Riku grabbed Snow White, Donald grabbed Jasmine, Goofy grabbed Aurora, and Beast grabbed Belle and Cinderella.
With the princesses in hand, everyone made a mad dash to the gummi ship, destroying any heartless that got in their way.
Soon, the gummi ship was in their sights.
"We're almost there! Keep running!" Sora called out.
Everyone got there safely.
"Where do we go?" Donald asked.
"Traverse Town!" Sora exclaimed.
Donald nodded, and used the warp drive to get there.
When they got there, they noticed several stars go out.
"No." Sora gasped. Donald and Goofy explained when a star goes out, it means that a world was consumed by the heartless.
"Maleficent's moving faster than ever." Riku observed. "And it's all my fault." He said sadly.
"Don't even go there." Sora said.
"But-" Riku said.
"The only butt around here is going to be yours when I'm done kicking it if you think like that. Maleficent tricked you, don't blame yourself for that." Sora said seriously.
Kairi started to come to.
"Sora?" she asked.
"Yeah, it's me. Riku's here too." Sora answered.
"Where're we going?" Kairi asked.
"To see some friends." Sora answered.
It wasn't long before they reached the hotel room where Leon, Aerith, and Yuffie were staying at.
"We're back!" Donald announced.
"And we got the princesses too!" Goofy said.
"Alright!" Yuffie exclaimed. She then noticed Riku and Beast. "Who're these guys?"
"This is Beast and Riku. We found them in Hallow Bastion." Sora answered.
"What's going on?" a voice asked.
Everyone turned to the door and saw who it was.
It was a teenaged boy with a tanned skin tone. His hair is in a Mohawk style.
He wore punkish, "Mad Max" style clothing and has two earrings on each of his ears, black markings under his eyes, and an orange and silver spiked watch on his right hand. He has spiked plates on his left shoulder, right hand, and right foot. He has a flat plate with orange stripes on his right calf and right arm as well as a pouch on his left thigh. He wears a jean vest, orange shirt, orange-yellow pants, multiple orange wristbands on his arm, and gothic shoes.
"Who're these guys?" he asked.
"These are the friends we told you about. Guys, meet Ben." Aerith said, introducing the teen.
"A pleasure." Sora said, holding out his hand. Ben smiled and shook it.
"Same here." Ben replied.
"So, what're you doing here?" Riku asked.
Ben then noticed Riku and Beast.
"And you are?" he asked.
"I'm Riku, and this is Beast." Riku answered.
"Nice to meet you. What's with all the girls?" Ben asked when he noticed the princesses.
"Meet the princesses of heart." Sora said.
"Yeesh. Maleficent really did a number on them huh?" Ben said.
"Yeah." Sora said. He was curious about something.
"Ben, what's your world like?" he asked.
"Well, at my world, it's a post-apocalyptic wasteland. I was the ruler of that land, but I was cruel dictator. When I saw my world destroyed, I didn't know what to do. When Leon, Yuffie, and Aerith found me, I was exhausted. I could barely move. Their kindness got through to me, so, when my world is restored, I plan on becoming a just ruler." Ben explained.
"But, HOW did you become the ruler?" Riku asked.
"I was hoping someone would ask that question." Ben said. He then tapped his watch's faceplate, and a dial with various faces popped up. When he removed his fingers, the faceplate slid back, revealing the core.
"This is how I became the ruler of my world." Ben said, before slamming down on the core.
He then began to transform. He became a silicon-based life form. His body is composed of durable pale green crystals. He sported four crystal shards on his back and has a sharp head. He wore an almost completely black Mad Max style outfit with an orange belt, small orange cross on his chest, and orange bandages on his lower arms, thighs, and lower legs. He has silver spike pads with orange spikes on his knee joints, thighs, lower arms, shoulders, and feet. He has a mohawk consisting of three spikes. The symbol of the watch is on his chest and colored orange, like his eyes.
"I call this guy "Diamondhead"." He said.
"How did you do that?" Beast asked.
"I found this watch a while back. Vilgax and Dr. Psychobos taught me to use it to take over Bellwood, and rename it Benwood. I call it, the "Power Watch"." He explained. He then turned back to normal.
"This is good and everything, but what do we do?" Riku asked.
Sora had an idea.
"We go to other worlds, try to prevent them from being consumed by the heartless, and get as many people as we can to back us up." Sora said.
Everyone agreed that this was a very good idea.
"But, what about the King?" Donald asked.
"I'm right here fellas."
Everyone turned, and saw an Mickey is an anthropomorphic mouse with black fur, round ears of the same color, and a thin, long, black tail. He wore a short-sleeved jacket with white lining. The top half of this jacket is black, while the bottom half is red, and there are two yellow straps dangling in front of it. His pants are red and sport a zipper going down the front of each leg. Each leg also has a yellow pouch with a black strap that partially cover the zipper, as well as a blue strap on the outer side of each pant leg. Mickey wears very large, yellow shoes with grey backs and two orange, intersecting straps attached to the front of each shoe. And in his hands was a keyblade similar to Sora's, but with a reversed color scheme.
"Your Majesty?" Donald and Goofy asked.
"Yep. I saw what happened at Hallow Bastion. And I think Sora has the right idea." Mickey said.
"Thanks your Majesty." Sora said. He then turned to Leon, Yuffie, and Aerith. "Can you guys protect Traverse Town? We'll need it as our base."
"We'll do what we can Sora." Yuffie said.
"We'll let you know if anyone else ends up here while you're at the other worlds." Aerith said.
"We'll keep Traverse Town safe." Leon finished.
"Okay." Sora said.
He then turned to the others.
"Guys, I think I'll go solo for a bit. I mean, I've relied on Donald and Goofy the whole time. I want to see what I'm really made of." Sora said.
Everyone was skeptical, but they knew there was no stopping Sora.
"Good luck Sora." Riku said.
Everyone else nodded.
"I'll see you soon." Sora said.
"Do you remember what I taught you?" Donald asked. He had been teaching Sora how to fly the Gummi Ship, should he or Goofy be unable to.
"Yeah." Sora smiled.
He then dashed out of the hotel, and headed to the ship.
"My journey begins here." Sora said.
He hopped onto the ship, and took off to his first destination.
I might as well answer any questions you might have.
Yes, this is Mad Ben.
Yes, this is a SoraXKairi pairing. I'm just not sure if it's just going to be them.
And yes, I am good looking.
That's all I have to say, although, if anyone has a design for five other Mad Ben aliens, please send them in.
