Kingdom Idol! Chapter 1: Sora, a kingdom hearts fanfic

This chapter relates to the world of Port Royal in Kingdom Hearts II. I hope you enjoy this fic as I did writing it!!! By the way, some of the things mentioned in here are things you will have never heard of before because they come from a local band known as Crofter's Revenge. I digress. Read and review!!

SORA

A young silver-haired man stood on the stage, walking back and forth with a shiny silver microphone in his hand. "Hey there! Welcome to Kingdom Idol! My name is Riku and I'll be your host for this evening! Please sit back and relax and enjoy the show!" He was wearing a black tweed suit with a white shirt and red tie. "We have narrowed down the competition from 55 to 12 over the course of two weeks!" He walked to the front of the stage. "Let me introduce our judges. First up is Aerith Gainsborough who comes from the wonderful world of Radiant Garden, originally from the destroyed city of Midgar!! Aerith, do you have any words for our contestants tonight?"

The pink wearing woman took Riku's mic and began to speak. All twelve contestants were lined up side by side, listening closely to what she had to say. "Be yourself. Let your voice come through and show us what you got!" She handed the mic back to Riku.

"Next up, we have the one and only keeper of darkness, the master of the dark past locked away within one of our contestants..." He turned around and had the DJ start playing a certain dreaded theme. "SEPHIROTH!!!!" He handed his mic to the black devil.

Taking the microphone from the host, he slouched in his chair. "I could care less about who wins this thing... As long as contestant number four doesn't win, I'm happy." Everyone turned to face contestant four, Cloud Strife. Sephiroth handed Riku the microphone.

"I'll have my day, Sephiroth."

"Okay then..." Riku turned away from the evil swordsman. Our last standard judge is...Pence from Twilight Town! What are you hoping to see from these twelve people?" He handed the kid his microphone.

"Well, the twelve of you have made it this far... The only question that remains is which one of you will be our winner after this show? What will happen... That's what I wanna know. Like Aerith said, show us what you got!" He handed the microphone back to Riku, nudging Sephiroth in the ribs to wake him up.

"Now that we've introduced our judges... I have a special surprise for everyone here!!! We have a guest judge coming in tonight who happens to be a good friend of mine. Please welcome...Kairi!! She has agreed to sing a song to start off tonight Battle of Voice." He walked off to the side of the stage and sang 'Dear God', written by Sarah McLachlan.

"Dear God, sorry to disturb you but, I think I should be heard loud and clear..." She sang so beautifully that by the time she had finished, the aduience, contestants, judges, and Riku, had fallen into a trance. "Um... Riku? I'm done."

"Hm? What!? Oh, right! Everyone give it up for Kairi, on of the seven princesses!!" He grabbed his microphone. "Now to introduce our twelve contestants! We have... Sora! Tifa! Cloud! Leon!" They all stepped forward as their names were called, and then stepped back. "Axel! Demyx! Marluxia! Luxord! Saix!" Axel called up flames, Demyx called up water clones, Marluxia called up some stupid pink purple flowers known as pansies (I, personally speaking, hate pansies!!!), and Luxord tossed a deck of cards into the air. Saix just stood still not saying anything or showing off any of his 'super cool moves.' "That's great guys... Showoffs... And then we have Olette! Hayner! and last but not least, YUNA!!!" Everyone began cheering and she blushed. "Yes, I know that she's the best singer here. That's why everyone has bet their money on her as a part of the agreement by our contestants." He turned back to face the audience. "Now, let me introduce our first contestant. He's 15, comes from the Destiny Islands, is the Keyblade Master and a very good friend of mine... Please welcome SORA!!!" Everyone began to cheer for Sora as Riku went off to the side.

"Thanks, everyone!!" He raised his mic and began to talk in his normal voice. "I'll be singing The Last Saskatchewan Pirate!!" The audience stopped talking and was silent.

"Well I used to be a farmer, I made a living fine. I had a little stretch of land along the CP line. As times went by and through I tried the money wasn't there. Then the bankers came and took my land and told me fair was fair. I looked for every kind of job, the answer always no. Hire ya now, they'd always laugh, just for 20 gold. The government, they promised me a measly little sum, but I've got too much pride to end up just another bum!! Then I though who gives a damn if all the jobs are gone... I'm gonna be a pirate on the River Saskatewan...

Well ya think the local farmers would know that on the barge, that just the other day I found an unprotected barge, I snuck up right behind them, and they were none the wiser. I ran the ship and sank it and I stole their fertilizer. A bridge outside of Mosse Jaw spans the mighty river, farmer's crossing so soon, their stomachs all a-quiver. Cause they know that SORA is hiding in the bay! I jump up on the bridge and then I'll steal their hay!!

An' it's a heave ho! High ho! Comin' down the plains! Stealing wheat and barley and all the other grains! It's a ho hey! High hey! Farmer's by yer door when ya see te jolly-roger on Regina's mighty shores!

Well, Mountie Bobby chased me, was always at my throat. He followed down the shore because he didn't own a boat. Well, the cutbacks were a-comin' and the mountie lost his job, and now he's sailing with me and we call him SALTY BOB! The swingin' sword was comin' bold, to pleasant comapany. I didn't pay my income tax so screw the GST. (Screw it!) I'm sailin' down to Saskatoon, the terror of the sea. If ya wanna reach the Co-Op, boy, you gotta get by me!!

Well the Pirate Life's appealing, you know, just by the pier. I hear that in north Alberta there's a band of buccaneers.They're on the Athabasca, who spent the poll of hay. And ya gotta lose your ship if ya hafta pass the way. Well, a-winter is a-comin' and the chill is in the breeze. My pirate days arer over once the river starts to freeze. But I'll be back in springtime, but now I hafta go. I hear there's lots of plundering down in New Mexico!!!!!!

An' it's a heave ho! High ho! Sailin' down the plains! Stealing wheat and barley and all the other grains! It's a ho hey! High hey! Farmer's by yer door when ya see te jolly-roger on Regina's mighty shores! An' it's a heave ho! High ho! Sailin' down the plains! Stealing wheat and barley and all the other grains! It's a ho hey! High hey! Farmer's by yer door when ya see te jolly-roger on Regina's mighty shores! An' it's a heave ho! High ho! Sailin' down the plains! Stealing wheat and barley and all the other grains! It's a ho hey! High hey! Farmer's by yer door when ya see te jolly-roger on Regina's mighty shores! When ya see te jolly-roger on Regina's mighty shores! When ya see te jolly-roger on Regina's mighty shores..." He took a step back and bowed. "Thanks everyone!!!" The audience boomed with laughter and clapping.

Riku was standing beside Sora at center stage. "Well, let's hear what our judges have to say about that...marvelous...(as if...) performance."

"Very nice, Sora!" Aerith was still clapping and had this huge smile that spanned her whole face.

"Your tone was a little of, but other than that, it was fairly good. Also, before Mr.Insult gets a chance... You need to keep the volume of your voice at the same level throughout the whole song. You can't keep going loud and then go soft for the rest of the song. Try to equal it out. Sephiroth?"

"How old are you? Fifteen, right?" Sora nodded. "You need to try sounding like you're fifteen instead of FIVE!!! That was just... I not going to finish that sentence... Get out of my sight."

"Kairi? Any words for our friend?" He turned his mic over to Kairi.

"Sora, I'm sorry for saying..."

"Don't be sorry! He sucked! That's that!!!"

"SEPHIROTH!!!!" Aerith, Pence, and Riku were glaring at him, not happy about his statements.

"I'm just telling the truth..."

Kairi coughed. "As I was saying, Sora, I don't think that you're going to win with that sort of performance. Sorry..." She turned away from him, avoiding eye contact.

"OOOOOOOOOOO! Harsh words, Sora! I wonder what that'll do for your overall place in the competition...?" Sora shrugged and took his place on the bench with all the other contestants. Riku looked over at the first contestant. "Hey, sorry to say this, but we're all out of time for this episode! Tune in next time to see Ms. Tifa Lockheart's performance. Maybe Sephiroth will be happier? maybe not... You'll have to tune in next time to see what happens on... KINGDOM...IDOL!!!"
