Ballad of the Goddess

{Rose's Theme}

Rose Tyler was no stranger in visiting strange worlds, for years she'd thrived on stepping out onto their landscapes, learning their cultures, and running from trouble.

This was Traverse town, a world created as an in-between worlds through the void. For the survivors of lost worlds to congregate and begin anew. The welcoming crew to this strange town had told her those inky things were called Heartless, poor souls that had 'allowed' darkness to take over their hearts. She had found that most victims were rather unwilling to this during an invasion early on in her stay here.

The boy...The Keyblade welder...Sora was sitting on the steps, his brown spiky hair in an alarming disarray like he'd been woken up from a years long sleep. She'd startled him and his friends earlier when she'd heard the news of some strange visitors arriving to the town. Bursting into the room where he was staying and scaring the daylights out of him and the welcoming committee.

"I'm sorry 'bout earlier." She broke the silence the poor boy jolted up and summoned the Keyblade in his hands and whirling around towards her, calming down when he saw her apologetic smile. Rose calmly moved and sat on the steps, motioning for him to do the same. He obliged sitting down a couple arms lengths away giving her a wary look only a child could give.

"I thought you were The Doctor, my friend. I've tried my phone to tell him I'm still alive...but.." She pulled out the poor piece of plastic and showed him the destroyed casing "It's dead, burnt out, kaput. So here I'm stuck waiting for him to wander through."

"I'm sorry." It was a mumble, but it was sincere as his brave front was dropped and his new reality set in. Sora was a little bit too young to have lost so much, and as the glimmer in her mind tells her a bit young for his future tasks. But his hearts are strong and he would survive his trials with the help of his many future friends.

"No...it's fine. I guess that I'll just have to wait a bit longer for that daft man to come around." She sighed staring back up at the never-ending night and it's glimmer of stars. She'd never seen that this world actually had a sun, and she had grown to miss warm rays and bright lights. She missed a whole lot of things really.

"This friend of yours, this Doctor guy...would he know about the Heartless and the Keyblade?"

"I suppose, he's over 900 years old an-" he cut her off.

"What?!Really? How?"

"He moisturises..." She teased, he gave her a confused look so she explained "He's an alien, two hearts, looks like he's thirty though an' can change his face if he's 'bout to die...He's a whole lot of strange. We travelled to other worlds in his blue box, exploring, trying to help...Mostly getting into trouble, then out of it...it was a lot of running." Those are happy memories, clutching hands and promises of Forever.

"Then how did you get here?"

"There was a hole, we'd been trying to seal it...the Doctor and myself as wells as our friends. Some creatures had opened the hole and people from my world were making it bigger and it was going to rip our world apart if it got bigger. But we had to be careful cause we had particulates from other worlds in us that the hole would suck us but not those without them in if we didn't..." She stopped as the memory of sucking winds and her Doctors screams of agony ripped through her skull "...I fell through and somehow I survived the trip and woke up here, even though the Doctor said we'd die in the Void." she gave a humourless chuckle "sometimes I look up at these stars and think I did die and this is some weird afterlife."

The silence between them lapsed for a few moments, and she took the time to temper down her inner gloom. Meanwhile his mind was spinning with ideas, building up and finally...

"Hey!" he jumped up and for once startled her, his eyes were glowing with an odd energy and she could feel his growing excitement.

"Do you want to come with Goofy, Donald, and Me? You could help us out since you already know about travelling to other worlds!" He was excited and she felt guilty. Sora would be free soon to travel between the worlds thanks to Cid who was fixing the strange companions Gummi ship after Goofy nearly crashed it into a meteor belt...but the golden glimmer told her that she should wait here and so she would.

"I want to Sora, but I can't. From what I understand you have to fight a lot of battles, and in mine we fought but...not with weapons...well not all the time...I'd honestly get in the way..." His face fell, not completely understanding but the others had declined to come with him to protect this town of refuge.

"Oh..."

"Besides you have Donald and Goofy to help you; Goofy is a knight after all and Donald is a wizard." Even if Goofy was some weird dog thing and Donald was a large Duck, that talked.

"GOT IT!" she jumped and found that he was on his feet striking a pose that was meant to make him look like some sort of genius. "Maybe Merlin could teach you some magic so you can help protect the people here while you wait for him?" His young blue eyes met her golden toffee with the shared pain of missing their friends and their worlds.

"I think I could do that, thank you Sora." She was stunned at his suggestion.

He grinned "...and maybe if I meet your friend I can tell him your waiting here?"

Her Doctor might not believe him if he just bounded up to him and started going on about finding her.

A heartbreaking idea took, and soon she was pulling a silver chain over her head. Her key, the only thing she had of him here, but words from a young boy and his companions was not enough to convince a heartbroken man over a century old in age.

"You can give him this, and tell him the Bad Wolf is waiting for him." he held out his hands and she placed the key and chain in them.

"Bad Wolf?"

"He'll know what it means, trust me okay? Oh, and good luck in finding your friends as well."

"Hmm...Okay, Thank You Rose!"

One of the major things we will have to point out is that this is an Au in which we've tried to squish Doctor Who into Kingdom Hearts and vice versa, mixed around events and changed some laws.

But in the KH universe this isn't uncommon when they take Disney films and condense them down into the bare-bones for the games.

(Which are rather shippy actually.)
