Detective Roxas

Introduction

Radiant Garden sure isn't what it used to be. With all the crime and corruption in the city, it could make any other sprawling metropolis look like a day at the beach. It even acquired the ugly nickname Hollow Bastion. But hopefully, that might all change with the new Detective on the Force.

In this story, there will be a Prologue, Five Acts, and an Epilogue. This is a tribute to all of the Noire and Law and Order shows and movies with Kingdom Hearts characters, who which I do not own! Enjoy.

Prologue

It was any Detective's worst nightmare... a hostage situation...

Detectives Riku and Axel were staring down Xaldin with their guns pointed at him as he held the daughter of Mayor Ansem at gunpoint. He was aiming the barrel at her temple and Xaldin himself was using her body as a shield from the cops who pursued him since he kidnapped her.

All four of them were on top of the highest building in Hollow Bastion and the only way for Xaldin to escape was to barter off the young girl's life for his own freedom.

"Xaldin! Put the gun down!" Riku commanded.

"She hasn't done anything just let her go and-!" Axel tried to keep everyone calm.

"SHUT UP! ...Now here's what's going to happen: you're going to get me a chopper to pick us both up, or she DIES!" Xaldin ordered.

"Alright, but that's going to take some time, we just need you to-!"

A gunshot silenced Axel's words and he was shocked to witness Riku shoot... the girl... the hostage... in the head...

Riku's eyes widened in disbelief and he slowly lowered his gun, still reeling from his actions...

Xaldin himself was just as shocked as Axel and Riku when the girl's lifeless body fell to the ground and soon was bathing in a puddle of her own blood.

Now with no bargaining chip, Xaldin desperately raised his gun at the two cops in an attempt to kill them both and escape, but Axel was too quick and shot Xaldin three times in the chest and the impact of the bullets made him fall over the edge and he plummeted to the ground below...

Axel lowered his own gun and stared at the dead girl before them with a feeling of confusion and regret, he meanly turned toward Riku.

"What... what have you done...? Riku! Why did you kill her?!" Axel demanded.

The silver-haired detective would not look his partner in the eyes as he reluctantly answered.

"...I... I thought I had the shot... but... I missed..." Riku sadly admitted.

"You murdered Mayor Ansem's daughter..." Axel meanly stated.

"I THOUGHT I HAD THE SHOT!" Riku screamed.

"...You... thought wrong..." Axel replied in contempt.

And with that, Axel left his partner on the roof as the SWAT team had just arrived on the scene, discovering the criminal's body that was now a bloody mess then eventually the victim on the roof...

It was one week later since Riku's tragic mistake on the rooftop. He didn't serve any jail time from this quagmire, but he was fired in disgrace and he lost his pension. Since then, no one had even heard from him again, not even Axel. We then find the spiky red-head himself in his Captain's office because for some reason his friend wanted to talk to him.

"Can you believe this?!" Captain Saix asked. "They're still talking about it!"

Saix angrily threw a newspaper depicting Riku's name in the headlines, front page, and in the subtitles something about the Police Department being an embarrassment to the city.

"What the hell do you want me to do about it?" Axel groaned.

"Don't talk back to me Axel! I am not in the mood!" Saix retorted. "Internal Affairs and the Mayor himself are breathing down my neck, I could lose my job."

"Wouldn't want that to happen... Still, why'd you call me here?" Axel casually replied.

"You're going to do your share by redeeming the Department." Saix answered.

"How so?" Axel curiously asked.

"Your new partner... you're going to show our bright new star the ropes." Saix stated as he gave Axel a manila folder.

"What...? You're giving me the rookie? Why?" Axel complained.

"Because you're the best Detective we've got here, and you need to teach him how to close cases no one else wants." Saix answered again.

"I am the best, got it memorized?" Axel smirked.

"His name is Roxas, fresh out of the Patrol, I hand-picked him because of his track record." Saix explained.

"I'm sure he feels real special, so when does he show up?" Axel asked.

Suddenly they heard a knock on the door and Saix beckoned the visitor in, seeming to know who would already come inside. Of course it was that young spiky blond that entered his office.

"Captain Saix?" Roxas introduced. "I'm Roxas, I'm ready to get to work."

Axel smiled at the size of his new partner, he was nearly a foot shorter than himself, and how did this guy survive three years on Patrol?

"Roxas, good to see you're here. Let me introduce to you your new partner, this is Detective Axel." Saix said.

"I'm looking forward to be working with you, Axel." Roxas extended his hand with a grin.

"Likewise." Axel gradually shook his hand.

"Now that you two are best friends, I'm going to give you your first case together." Saix motioned towards the manila folder in Axel's hand which he just skimmed through.

"Well, looks like we should be on our way..." Axel then pulled out his keys and tossed them to Roxas. "You're driving."

A/N- The detectives are now on the job. And on their way to eradicate the crime and corruption in the city to redeem the police of Radiant Garden. Will Roxas be up to the task? Will he be able to keep up with Axel and solve the cases? Read, Review, and fav if you don't mind. Please:)

P.S: I hope you guys understand that characters will only be called by their first names, no last names, I'd think it;d be too confusing. Stay Tuned.
