Righty-o, this is my first fanfic and I really had no idea what to write so I just decided to go with the first thing that came to mind and here I am. This is a rewrite of the KH gameplay with an added character who is truthfully a psychopath. I found the beginning part on Destiny Islands to be really grating on my nerves so this story starts in Traverse Town. And it starts with the part where Donald finds out about king Micky being missing added on. Alright, I'd better get this started before I give away the plot but first I have to warn you that i am no where near finishing the game so I'll only update a chapter once I finish the world it is based on. Three cheers for Kingdom Hearts, the best game ever! XD
Disclaimer: I do not own Kingdom hearts or any of it's characters.
Warning: This is a crazy story that will include anything I feel like putting in it so I decided to rate it M just to be safe. I will also include chapter warnings. My one warning through the whole story though, will be that it is not going to follow the plot of the game to closely but enough that it is recognizable. Also I will not repeat exactly what the characters say in the game word for word simply for the sake of my sanity.
Chapter One: Traverse Town Part 1
Donald knocked on the large pinkish doors to the king's thrown room and moved from foot to foot nervously, he had the strange feeling that someone was watching him but when he looked around there was no one. The smaller door that was hidden away in its larger companion swung open and Donald entered the room, calling out tho the king as he stepped into the large room. He froze at the sight of the king's empty thrown and watched as Pluto nervously stuck his head around the chair with a letter in his mouth that bore the king's seal. Donald made his way to Pluto and the dog offered the letter to him and then took a single step backwards as Donald read the paper, his eyes growing wider the more he read. Donald let his wing fall to his side, still clutching the letter, and then sprinted back through the smaller door within the larger and towards the garden where he knew Goofy slept.
Donald still had the feeling of being watched but it was stronger now as though the owner of the eyes was watching more carefully, but he ignored the feeling as he screeched at Goofy to wake up. A low sigh slid from the darkness of the shadows just inside the exit that Donald had just run through and a single shadow detached itself from the rest only to blend into the shadows of the garden. Donald began to convince Goofy to tell no one else of the letter and then slowly turned as Goofy greeted Queen Mini and Daisy. The two women looked annoyed and Donald gulped as they demanded to know what he was trying to hide and he immediately caved in and read them King Mickey's letter.
Donald and Goofy ran for the Gummi ship as they prepared to set of in search of their King and the 'Key' mentioned in his letter. The chipmunk launch crew sprung to life the instant Donald finally made it down the circling staircase and called out to them for the ship to be launched. Giant white gloved hands picked them up and then placed them into the Gummi ship as the arrow in front of the ship lit up. Donald began to wonder, not for the first time, why they had an arrow there pointing forward when they were not even going that way and no one ever would. Even as the thought crossed his mind the floor beneath them opened and they fell strait through to the other side of the world and they could just see King Mickey's castle as they sped away from their world towards Traverse Town in search of 'Leon' and the 'Key' that the king's letter had mentioned.

Sora felt more than saw the slight illumination beginning to break through the darkness of unconsciousness and when he opened his eyes it was to see a goldish colored dog with a black nose sitting back after licking his face. Sora felt a sharp pain in his head and he could hear his blood pounding through his ears and he began to close his eyes again so that he could rest. The dog would not have any of it as it jumped on his chest with its front paws and he jumped at the impact and then sighed as he got up and looked around for the first time. "Where am I? Do you know?" he looked at the dog but it only stared at him for a second before it galloped away when it was called. "Where am I?" Sora murmured as he looked around at the unfamiliar buildings.
"If you're the one who doesn't know then why ask yourself for the answer?" came the soft question and he looked up to the person standing across from him. The person was wearing a black leather coat with a zipper up the front and two on the sides and one in the back that started just below the waist and went down to the hem that was a few inches above the ground. They were wearing their hood pulled over their face so that they wear hidden and they wore black gloves. The only part of their skin that was visible was their feet which were bare against the ground beneath the hems of toxic green skinny pants. The person pointed in the direction that the dog had gone, "Go that way and speak with the merchant you find in the building called a shop. Hey, my cloths aren't that weird, just look at your own," the person said in a soft voice that was undistinguishable between a girl and a boy.
Sora glanced down at his cloths for a second and then looked back up to see the person rounding the corner. They waved and then disappeared and Sora called after them but received no answer, "Hey wait, who are you?" Sora glanced around and sighed and then with a shrug he made his way in the direction that both the dog and the mysterious person had vanished. He glanced around as he left the alleyway and his eyes widened slightly as he looked out at the courtyard of a town that he had never seen before. He glanced around and saw the sign for a shop and with another sigh he decided it was worth a try and pushed the door open.

Donald and Goofy made their way through the town looking everywhere for the 'Key' but never asking a single soul so as to protect the secrecy of their mission. Finally they found themselves wandering through the Dalmatians' house and the dogs glanced up at them. Donald froze where he stood as did Goofy when a quiet voice called out to them, "You're looking in the wrong place you know?" They froze at the site of the small person in the black leather coat with the hood pulled down over their eyes and face. Donald's eyes immediately darted to the two Dalmatians that were growling and backing away, knowing that the Dalmatians sensed that this person was an enemy.
"Who are you?" Donald squawked in a voice slightly higher than his normal tone, he was terrified but he would not show it if he could. The person, however, did not miss the higher tone and slight quaver in his voice and laughed quietly, the sound dark and insane. Donald pulled up as much courage as he could and took a couple threatening steps forward, "I asked you who you were now answer." Behind him Donald could sense Goofy move up to stand just behind him and Donald immediately felt comforted by the presence of his friend.
The person took two steps forward to match Donald and their posture tensed, ready to attack but then they seemed to change their mind and their stance relaxed and they raised their hands in surrender. The smile on their face was obvious in their voice even if their face was not visible, "I surrender. My name is Heart and I am by nature your enemy but by choice your friend so don't fear me." They pushed their hood back to reveal red streaked black hair that fell around the face of a young boy in a messy mop but was perfectly straight despite it's messiness. Large dark blue eyes with rings of toxic green round the outside and red circling right around the pupil completed the look. Heart took a step back and kept his hands in the air and for the first time Donald noticed that bellow their skin tight green pants Heart's feet were bare.
Donald glanced back at Heart's face and studied the strange red, blue, and green eyes that seemed to stand out against the dark hair and lightly tanned skin and Donald immediately notice the most basic of the teen's appearance, he looked frightening. Heart smiled and the mirth that shimmered in his eyes seemed to take away some of the fear. "I have a question, why do some people look at me like I'm insane and others look at me like I'm a monster? Can you tell me the answer please?" Heart asked his eyes curios as he took a single step forward but kept his hands in the air.
Donald answer immediately as he raised his staff weapon before him for protection from the still surrendering boy, "Your eyes." Heart's shoulders slumped and he sighed in defeat and then his face changed one again into a dark smile and his hands dropped to his sides and he once again adopted the ready stance as he drew two long thin black blades from thin air. Heart stalked forward with a crazed glint in his eyes and then one of his swords smashed against Goofy's shield and the other against Donald's staff and the two soldier's weapons spun across the floor away from them. Heart stood absolutely still between the two soldiers and the two weapons as he stared at the floor with the smile on his face growing more crazed by the second.
Then suddenly the smile fell away and Heart looked back at them with a blank and emotionless expression, "I see." The weapons in his hands burst in a shower of liquid darkness and then faded, "You should be careful. There are those who would do anything to destroy you and they will succeed if you are not vigilant. Until you have the Key on your side you are vulnerable and you will die so find what you search for quickly and as I said before you will not find it here. Keep looking around the town and if you find yourself in need of help feel free to call me and I'll see what I can do." Heart backed away and picked up the shield and staff and then cautiously approached the two soldiers and offered the two weapons.
With a slight grin Heart gave a two finger salute and made his way to the door and knelt beside the Dalmatians who snarled lightly and then approached slowly as he held his hand out to them. Murmuring softly Heart stroked the two Dalmatians' heads and then stood up slowly and with one look back opened the door. Just before he disappeared outside Heart looked back, "I'll help you if you call for me and you can be sure I'll hear you because I'm going to be following you." Leaving the uncomfortable and slightly frightening words hanging in the air Heart slid out the door and closed it lightly. Donald stared after him and then shaking his head they continue through the Dalmatians' house.

Sora entered the shop and made his way over to the man behind the counter slightly timidly and began to enquire about the town. He learned that he was in a place called Traverse Town and that it was most certainly not in any way connected to Destiny Islands. He learned that the man's name was Cid and that he had not seen either Kairi or Riku. Sora chose to ask a very different question, "Do you know everyone in this town?" Cid nodded and Sora continued, "Do you know someone who wears a black coat with a zipper and a hood and green pants and no shoes?"
Cid thought about it for a second and then shook his head, "I've never seen anyone like that in this town. Then again I've never seen you before either so maybe you're connected somehow." He flipped the toothpick in his mouth around and chewed on it for a second, "This person does sound like someone I've hear about before though but it couldn't possibly be that person because they aren't real." Cid shrugged and rubbed the back of his neck and then smiled slightly, "I thought I knew everyone but I guess I really don't."
Sora nodded, "So who is this person that isn't real?"
Cid sighed, "I don't know much about them but that kid Leon might, you should ask him if you meet him." Sora listened to all the advice Cid had to offer and then made his way back out into the town and headed for the other districts. The first door he found lead to the third district and he quickly made his way through it and stopped in surprise as he glanced around and saw that it was a little to empty and heard the unnatural silence. He jumped slightly at the sound of running feet and looked to the side in time to see a man running and glancing behind himself in fear every few steps. The man tripped and fell back and Sora watched as the mans glowing crystal like heart floated from his chest and the man vanished.
Sora glanced around nervously and his eyes fell on the same shadowy creatures that he had seen on Destiny Islands just before they and Kairi and Riku had vanished and he had ended up in the strange town. The Keyblade materialized in his had as though it could sense the threat and taking a single deep calming breath he attacked. Each bug-like shadow took a few hits before they fell and faded away and Sora quickly moved on before anymore appeared through the shadowy portals that the first had come through. He began to meet more and more groups of the shadowy creatures and he soon turned back and returned to the first district that was now deserted as well.
With dread in his heart Sora returned to the shop where Cid was still standing and Sora let out a sigh of relief and walked up to the man. Sora questioned Cid about the shadowy creatures and the only answer Cid could give him was that the man Leon would be able to answer more of his questions. Sora wanted to press harder for answers but he knew that man really did not know much so he left feeling slightly dejected but stopped and a taller more muscular man with brown hair approached him. "That Keyblade, so you found it? This makes everything different doesn't it." The man turned his eyes from the large key to Sora, "I think I'll be taking that Keyblade from you."
Sora immediately felt defensive and held the Keyblade tighter, "I won't let you touch it."
The man smirked slightly, "Then I guess we'll have to sort this out differently." Sora glanced down at the large steal sword in his had with its tick slightly wavy blade and swallowed but raised his own blade in preparation none the less. Sora saw the person in the black cloak and the green pants out of the corner of his eye and observed that they still had no shoes on, it seemed odd to be walking around barefoot in the almost cold weather. The person gave him a thumbs up with their black gloved hands and watched as he returned his attention to the man opposite him as the fight began but Sora could not help but feel that the person watching was searching for his weakness.
OK, that was a long first chapter and I hope you enjoyed it so far. I love reviews both constructive criticism and suggestions so tell me what you think. I want to write other stories but I never really like my ideas and I'd like to branch out so if you are looking for a specific fanfic I'd love to write anything you request as long as it is within my abilities, so please request stories. Thanks for reading.
