Hello, my dear readers! ZooCross0vers here again! :D Bringing you another crossover in honor of the long awaited release of Kingdom Hearts 3! :D
This is actually my first and very likely only video game crossover, because dear Lord video games are long, but...who knows! Anyway, here's a Zootopia/ Kingdom Hearts crossover. This was originally inspired by the beautiful KDH/Zootopia comic done by the talented Ky-Jane. Look for her on Tumblr with that name, she's got really beautiful art. Though just so you know, my story has absolutely nothing to do with her comic. This is my own take on such a crossover. I'm basically treating this kind of like a level you'd come across if they were to ever include a Zootopia level in the Kingdom Hearts franchise. So yes, this will be my first ever "original" fic. As it won't be the Zootopia characters taking the roles of Sora and company this time.
By the way, just so you know, I've only ever played Kingdom Hearts, Kingdom Hearts II, and Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep. So if you've actually played every single Kingdom Hearts game there is out there and actually somehow managed to follow the story without getting LOST! Lol, please help me out if something falls out of the lore. I did do some research as to when these characters were last seen, but yeah help me out if I'm wrong on something. I'm gonna do my best with this, but I'm just gonna try to keep it as simple as possible. You know, when these games focused only on the heartless and stealing the hearts of the pure and anybody else they could. Anyway, just so you know, this is mainly Nick and Judy's story, so don't expect us to be following around Sora and the others too much outside of Zootopia. Don't worry though because they still play a very important role once they get to Zootopia. ;)
With that said, let's dive in, shall we?

Animal Kingdom...Hearts
Prologue:
Two dark figures plot in darkness, unseen - their differing silhouettes blending into the dark room they inhabit.
"It's been over two weeks," groans a gruff, burly voice emanating from the shorter, heavyset silhouette, "How much longer is that bird brain supposta take-"
"Shh, patience my friend," replies a sultry feminine voice emanating from a tall, horned silhouette. "If all has gone well with my pet, then the wait will certainly be worth the reward."
"Oh!" the husky silhouette crosses his arms in a huff, "I just don't get it. I thought we was after the data from all the worlds? So why are we goin' back to doin' things the old fashioned way?"
"Because my dear minion, it is always best to have a contingency plan to fall back on if one plan fails or is delayed."
"Yeah, but…" The robust silhouette scratches his head, not quite following her.
"King Mickey will surely keep the data escape well guarded for the time being. And I refuse to stand around and allow that brat Sora and Organization XIII to make a fool of me any longer!" The tall silhouette casts green and yellow flames upon her shadow, causing the round silhouette to cower in fear from her.
"Th-Then, what do ya suppose we do?"
The tall silhouette chuckles confidently, her flames burning out. "My dear ally, have you not been paying attention for the last two weeks?"
"N-No, of course I have! But how will sendin' Diablo out to far off undiscovered worlds help us get ahead of that Sora kid and Organization XIII?"
"Simple, they're much too distracted dealing with one another and their own personal affairs than to even give me a passing glance. Not to mention, King Mickey still believes that I will continue to pursue the data escape. Any other plan I attempt that has nothing to do with the data escape will surely go undetected. Don't you agree?"
"Ah, I get what you're sayin'!" the chubby silhouette rubs his hands mischievously. "So your sayin' we're goin' to be conquerin' worlds and hearts right under their noses, right?"
"Not quite so simply. We're not merely going after different worlds, but new ones. Untouched by Sora or Organization XIII and their nobodies."
"Hehe, just like old times!" The hefty silhouette punches a fist to his other hand.
"Yes. This time however, I don't intend on making the same mistake. This time! I will ensure that each world I visit remains in darkness! A darkness sealed that not even Sora will be able to save them!"
"How do ya plan to do that?" asks the curious husky silhouette.
The tall shadow smirks, "In all our travels, I've learned something regarding our young enemy and the seven princesses of heart. And that's that they all have one thing in common."
"And what's that?" asks the shadowy minion.
"They're both necessary if we ever wish to conquer Kingdom Hearts for ourselves."
"Yeah, I guess that's true," concurs the robust shadow. "But those princesses are bein' heavily guarded and there's no way that kid Sora will ever help us out."
"No, but that's where my ingenious plan comes in. For you see, I've conjured up a theory. One where we will have no need to rely on that boy. And one in which we will easily be able to overpower anyone who attempts to get in our way in obtaining the princesses or Kingdom Hearts."
A yellow orb atop the staff wielded by the tall silhouette glows. "Ah, I see my pet has returned." She raises the staff and a corridor of darkness opens. Out from the portal exists a raven. The raven sets himself on a dowel perch within the dark room, carrying something in his mouth.
The tall silhouette pets the raven's head, "My dear Diablo, have you found a world worth conquering for me?" Diablo nods. "And did you find the purity and darkness I seek?"
Diablo nods again, confident. The shadowy woman chuckles, "Excellent," she tickles the raven's chin, "You've done well my pet. I look forward to reading your mind and seeing the things you've seen."
The raven caws, shaking his head to bring his master's attention to his beak. "Oh? What's this?" The tall dark figure takes what's in Diablo's mouth and chuckles.
"What is it?" asks the round minion.
The tall shadow extends her hand out, giving her servant a good look at the object in her grasp. "This my minion, is our first step to getting ahead. Far, far ahead of Sora and Organization XIII. This world will be the first to witness the effects of my theory set into motion." The round silhouette gazes in awe at the object in his mistresses hand - a police badge. "This...Zootopia."

Creepy...am I right? ;D Lol! Hope you enjoyed the prologue. I will be releasing just one more chapter after this one (01/29/19) and that'll be it for now. After Chapter 1 there will be a pretty long hiatus on this as I mainly just wanted to share this for now due to the new game's release. Don't worry though, it will be back, but as of now I can't promise a date. So keep in touch on my Tumblr or profile page for any updates on this later down the months. But hey, at least the wait'll give us all time to binge play Kingdom Hearts 3 in the meantime! xD
