DISCLAIMER: I don't own the Kingdom Hearts series, or Total Drama. Everything belongs to their respective owners.
Hey, guys! It's been awhile since I've published a new crossover! So, here's a little something from me to you! Not only that, but this is my first Total Drama crossover as well, too.
Basically, (in case you couldn't guess from the summary or title), this is a Total Drama version of the game 358/2 Days. Obviously, I will not be writing about every single day, but I'm pretty sure some of you might've known about that already.
I loved the storyline for Days. The characters were likable, but the story was extremely sad. Speaking of characters, yes. I did actually anagram the names. Just calling them by their regular names would be much too weird to me, so I went ahead and did it.
Anyway, this prologue came out surprising fluffy... I don't even ship Mike/Scott to begin with, but yeah. Hopefully I did a good enough job on this.
Hope you guys enjoy it, and please be sure to R & R!
Prologue: Why The Sun Sets Red
"Pitiful Heartless, mindlessly collecting hearts. The rage of the Keyblade releases those hearts. They gather in darkness, masterless and free… until they weave together to make Kingdom Hearts. And when that time comes, we can truly, finally exist."
I am what others classify as a Nobody, just an outer, empty shell that lacks feelings of my very own. To be honest, I can't even remember how I was born a Nobody in the first place… All I know is that I don't have a heart, and how my role has always been with the Organization… Helping construct Kingdom Hearts, the one mission that everyone at the castle strives for. So we all can finally have hearts of our own…
Xikem, Organization member XIII: the Key of Destiny… That's what I'm called. I play a very important part to everyone there, by swinging my Keyblade at Heartless to release those hearts that were taken captive… So our mission will finally be complete.
I've been with the Organization for quite some time now, and I still have a lot of questions running through my mind… Like, what is a heart, anyway? No matter how much I wrap my brain around it, I can't ever come up with an answer… Sure, it's a little irritating, but it can't be helped. Especially since it's too much for me to comprehend, anyway.
After escaping my thoughts, I peer up at the warm and welcoming sunset, basking in all the reds, yellows and pinks. The sunset always looks so amazing from the top of the clock tower, which is why I go out of my way to sit up here each and every day; it's a promise I've kept since the first day of joining the Organization.
I was so distracted by the beautiful sight, that I didn't even notice the familiar presence sneaking up from behind me.
"Well, someone's here early." the nasally voice chuckled. I practically almost lost my balance because of the noise, but quickly got it back before letting out a heavy sigh. I quickly turned around to greet my visitor, letting off a small smile, as well as chuckle of my own.
"Are you sure you aren't just late again?" the redhead laughed some more, before taking a seat right next to me.
"At least I'm here, aren't I?" he playfully remarked, giving me a smug grin.
"True… But you do know that I wouldn't even be here with you right now if I had actually fallen off!" I joked around with him a bit.
"Meh, I wouldn't really miss you…" the ginger muttered, folding his arms to the back of his head.
"Oxctst!" I whined a little, which got him laughing again.
"Come on, Xikem! You know I was only kidding around with you and stuff! There's no way I'm just gonna let my best friend get all stupid on me now by getting himself killed in the most pathetic way possible! How would I be able to explain that one to the boss, huh?" After we both stopped and caught our breath, Oxctst reached into his right coat pocket and pulled out two bars of sea salt ice-cream.
"Thanks." I smiled once he handed me one. There was a bit of silence as we both gorged on ice-cream, while taking in the beautiful sight in front of us. Eventually, I started up the conversation again.
"Today makes 255." I nodded.
"What are you yammering on about?" my friend asked curiously, raising an eyebrow.
"Well, I mean…" I explained. "It's been that many days since I first joined up with you guys."
"So, you got that all memorized, huh?" Oxctst laughed. "Why am I not surprised?"
"Well, I mean it's not like I had any other memories before all this, right?" I added, trying to get my point across. "These are the only memories that have really ever mattered to me, because they're my only memories…"
"Yeah, and not to mention that you acted like a total zombie on the first day…" he smiled lightly, reflecting on the memories of that day.
"Hey, did not!" I argued back playfully, bopping him on the shoulder. "Ok, so maybe I was considered a zombie by your standards, but the point is, I was completely out of the loop on my first day; I couldn't even create the simplest of sentences. Glad that pain is over."
"Yeah, those were some pretty interesting times…" Oxctst sighed, marveling over the sunset with me. I noticed his eyes widen as he turned back to face me again. "Xikem, bet ya don't know why the sun sets red. You see, light has many different colors, and out of all those colors, red's the one that's the farthest away."
"Like I really needed a lesson from you!" I laughed. We kept this up for awhile, before stopping again. Oxctst was reclining back against the floor now, while I just looked on to the left side of the clock tower.
"Seriously, where is she?"
