Hey guys. I know I should be writing that Sonic fic I said I would start but I felt that this needed to be done. Though I am pretty far into planning it all out.
I was sure I'd find more fanfics for this. These two games seem like they go together really well. Oh well, I'll just add one to the pile. Please R&R and enjoy!
Yen Sid moved about his study, arranging potions and checking on different spells and such. He could hear the young keyblade wielders practicing down below.
A glint caught the corner of his eye and he turned toward it quickly. A book that he kept on his desk at all times had started glowing. He was instantly alarmed as this was a very special book.
A very special world.
...
Oswald walked hand in hand with Ortensia down the repaired Mean Street. It had been a while since the guardian spirit incident and basically all the destruction had been repaired.
They waved at the toons they passed while they chatted idly. Oswald sudden stopped looking ahead. Ortensia confusedly followed his gaze and found a small black creature with large yellow eyes.
...
Sora flopped down on the grass in front of the mysterious tower, panting. Kairi sat down next to him, "Tired?"
The brunette didn't even respond. Just continued to lay there catching his breathe.
"I told you to take a break like ten times, Sora," Riku sat on the other side of the tired teen, lightly kicking his leg, "But you didn't listen. This is your own fault."
Sora blindly swung out his arm toward his friend but in vain. Riku simply moved to one side to avoid the strike. He didn't bother to raise his arm back up and just left it there. "I've got to work hard to become a keyblade master!"
"Well you definitely get an A for effort," Donald said from behind the trio with Goofy next to him.
Sora smiled up at the duck, rising to a sitting position, "Hey, where's the king?" he asked as he noticed the mouse's absence.
"Don't know. He went to see Yen Sid a little while ago."
"That he did." Donald jumped high into the air at the sudden appearance of the old sorcerer, landing beak first a far bit away from the group.
"Follow me," Yen Sid told them as he turned to reenter the tower.
They all did as they were told with Donald trailing in the back, yelling about being left behind.
…
"The king is in this book?" Sora asked, giving the said book a curious look.
"Yes," Yen Sid nodded, "It's a special world."
"You mean like Pooh's storybook?" Goofy asked.
"This world is much different from the storybook," Yen Sid explained, "While the two are both contained inside a book, there is one major difference between them. But you will discover that soon enough."
"Why did he go in? He didn't even say anything to any of us," Riku pointed out.
"You see, this world is very special to him and there appears to be a crisis happening." The group stayed silent, waiting for further explanation. "The heartless have somehow found a way into the world and because of its nature they have gone berserk and are causing havoc. Mickey has gone to help."
"Its nature?" Riku repeated under his breath. Yen Sid didn't seem to hear him.
"Is there any way we can help?" Kiari asked.
They all looked expectedly at the sorcerer. "If you truly wish to help you must do so under one condition," no one said a word, "Only one of you must go."
"Wait, what?" they all said as one.
"As I said the nature of this world is strange. I do not want too many of you going."
"Can you tell us anything about this 'nature'?" Sora asked, a small amount of irritation starting to enter his voice.
Yen Sid said nothing for a moment, making Sora nervous, "Only certain people can become residents of the world," he finally said, "Mickey was able to enter because of a bit of mischief he made early in his training. He didn't even have his keyblade." He reminisced.
"So who's going to go?" Sora asked the group.
Donald opened his beak to talk but was interrupted by Yen Sid, "Donald and Goofy must stay."
Donald froze with his beak open before, "What? Why?"
"In the book each of you have counterparts. Your presence is not needed."
Everyone turned to the two. 'What is this world?' they all thought.
"I'm still in training so I probably wouldn't be very helpful," Kiari piped up.
"And I'm the one training her," Riku added, "Looks like you're up Sora."
The hyper boy nodded enthusiastically, all his exhaustion from earlier having disappeared in the face of this new adventure. He turned to Yen Sid, "Isn't there anything you can tell me about this place?"
He shook his head, "It would take much too long to explain. Besides, I believe it would be better for you to find the answers for yourself." He gestured toward the book.
The book opened as Sora came closer with his friends close behind him. They each peaked over his shoulder to look at the pages showing this new world.
"What about its name?" Sora asked as he prepared himself for his journey.
Yen Sid smiled, "Wasteland is its name."
…
Oswald brought his remote out in front of him, pointed toward the strange creature. Ortensia stood at his back, watching it from above his shoulder.
Where did these things come from? They just suddenly appeared and started wrecking everything!
It suddenly lashed out toward them. Ortensia moved closer to Oswald as he got ready to push the button on his remote. But he never finished the movement. Out of nowhere it vanished and in its place stood a mouse with a large key, clad in red.
"Long time no see guys."
