Okay! Here we go again! So this is a Lion Guard fanfic with Kingdom hearts lion Roxas.
All the characters in the Lion Guard are visioned as they are in the show, so they're cubs, including Roxas. (Roxas' appearance is what you see in the title image.)
But without further delays here we go!
Disclaimer: I do NOT own the Lion Guard or Roxas.
Chapter 1 (intro)
Roxas' POV
"AAAAHHHH!" I was falling into nothing. I was so scared. Was I dying? Is this how you die?
It was until I heard what sounded like a boom or something, and a grassy area appeared in front of me.
My key was beside me, but something was off… I felt… odd. I was so confused, that is until I looked down.
'What the!' I startled myself. I was a… a lion? A lion cub to be exact.
"Oh my god, this can't be happening!" I said to myself in a panic.
I heard voices approaching. "I heard it coming from here." It was a female. 'Maybe she can help me. But I'm a lion, she won't understand me!'
Then, as if things could get worse, the female I heard, was a cheetah?
'What is happening?!' This is impossible what is this?!
Behind her were a small white bird, a hippo, a honey badger, and another lion cub with a red mane.
'Hehe, I've got a full head of hair.' I thought smugly to myself.
Wait! Hold on, they could be dangerous.
I grabbed my key with my mouth awkwardly and stood up with a threatening look, ready to ruin anyone.
The five animals stopped, they were shocked, but they immediately didn't waste any more time responding to my stance. The lion cub bared his teeth, and a very convincing, low growl came from him.
"Don't come any closer! I won't hesitate!" I said with a loud and monotone, trying to sound emotionless.
"Fat chance!" The badger said.
I don't know what it was that snapped inside me, but when he said that, I wanted to teach him a lesson.
I prepared to go at him, but he pounced first, pinning me to the ground knocking the key out of my muzzle.
I was shocked at first, but I quickly regained composure and fought back, succeeding.
I kicked him off with my hind legs and quickly got up, grabbing my key.
The cheetah was next, quickly going from side to side. I tried to stay focused on her solely and got ready to dodge her.
Thank god I moved, I narrowly missed her.
'Enough of this crap!' I thought to myself. The lion looked to be the leader here, so I put matters into my own hands… or paws… and I went after him.
He got into a stance quickly and shouted at the badger and cheetah behind me.
''Fuli! Bunga! Get to cover!" I glanced behind me seeing them get behind a rock.
There were some dark clouds behind the lion, and they looked like trouble.
Then, the lion cub roared.
No, like full on real adult lion roar. And the clouds formed into lions.
I felt a huge wind hit me, and I started to slide back.
I quickly took action and took my key with my muzzle, slamming the end of it into the ground, acting as an anchor.
I took grasp of the gold plated handle with my paws and held on tight.
The roar only lasted a few more seconds.
The lion cub seemed shocked.
I let go of the key and managed to figure out how to unsheathe my claws.
I jumped to him and quickly hit him across the muzzle, hard.
The hit was so hard, it knocked him over.
I took the chance to then pounce on him, pushing my paws on his neck.
He started to struggle and got worried.
"Don't you ever come near me again." I said sternly with what I hoped was a very angry expression.
I heard footsteps… or pawsteps, I think?, and I quickly got off and grabbed my key.
"Anyone else?" I asked in a threatening tone. The other four looked horrified. They were looking at the lion cub who was gasping for air with a little blood trickling down his muzzle.
'Had they not seen blood before?' I thought amused.
I started to back away.
"Kion!" The bird shouted. 'So that's the cub's name, huh?'
The cheetah approached me. "What is wrong with you?!" She yelled.
"Don't even start honey." I said still backing away.
She only got angrier.
"Don't you guys ever come near me again, got it?!"
She glared at me and then became worried as she turned around to the cub that was apparently Kion.
I continued to back away, then turning around to see some grassy hills ahead of me. I quickly proceeded forward.
While going down a softly sloping hill, I noticed a little circle of water Possibly a watering hole?
I noticed three other lion cubs there, and one of them looked so similar to that Kion.
I decided to take a drink, it had to be clean.
I walked up to the edge and put down the key to my left side.
While taking a drink, I noticed the three cubs on the other side glancing at me. 'Huh, I guess my good looks as not only a human but as this cub form, it does too.' I laughed in my head while taking a big sip.
Once done, I then adjusted my checkered arm sleeve and decided to just lay down and close my eyes.
That is until I heard someone clear their throat. My eyes opened and I looked up to be greeted with a very light yellow coated cub.
"Uhm. Hi there." She said waving a paw slightly. She then sat next to me as I also got in a sitting position.
"Hey…" I said confusingly.
"I'm Tiifu." She said.
I responded hesitantly, "I'm Roxas." I then extended my paw and she took it, shaking lightly.
"Who are the other two you are with?" I asked as they too started walking towards me.
"The one on the left is Zuri, and the one on the right is the princess of the Pride Lands. Her name is Kiara.
'Princess huh? And Zuri. I'm pretty sure that means love in Swahili? Maybe…' when the two others came, Tiifu introduced me to them.
"Where are you from?" Kiara asked with what looked to be a dreamy smile.
"Uhm…" Oh god, Roxas think!
"I'm from the… FarCry Pride." I said. 'Please believe me!'
"Where's that?" Zuri asked, greatly interested.
"It's really far. I'm not sure. I just got here though." I responded trying to keep my composure.
"Well, you certainly are not in the diamond dozen." Kiara said looking me up and down, especially at my hair.
She then started walking around me, very close too. I got a little nervous but kept my eyes straight ahead of me, and I tried not to look nervous.
I swore I felt a claw or something tap my side.
Kiara then came back in front of me and smiled with half-lidded eyes.
"He certainly is a stud." Kiara concluded about me.
Tiifu and Zuri looked deeply at my body and entire frame. 'Are they checking me out right in front of me?'
Kiara laughed. "Don't worry Roxas, we don't bite..." She then leaned in and whispered in my ear, our cheeks lightly touching. "...that hard…"
I took an unsteady deep breath in. I got progressively nervous.
She then sat back and looked into my eyes. I softly chuckled nervously.
As the four of us sat there for a few minutes of what felt like the longest time ever. I heard something break it.
"Kiara, Zuri, Tiifu! Get away from him!" It was Kion.
I was actually a little relieved to see him. I don't know how much longer we would've been like that.
The three backed away from me as Kion stood in front of them looking at me with a what looked like was supposed to be an intimidating look.
"Kion, what's wrong?" Kiara asked.
"He's wrong is what it is!" Kion said motioning a paw at me. He growled.
"Oh my Kings Kion what happened to you?" Zuri said, gasping as she saw the claw marks I gave him.
'Uh oh.'
"What's happened to me is he gave me these!" Kion yelled, baring his teeth at me.
"I said stay away from me Kion!" I said then grabbing the key again with my mouth.
I'm actually surprised the girls didn't notice the key or ask.
The girls gasped.
"What's happening?!" Tiifu asked in a panic.
"What's happened is that your lord and savior and his gang attacked me!" I yelled, backing away slightly.
"Only because you attacked first!" Kion shot back.
"I'm done with bickering! Kion, leave me alone like the first time I asked." I responded moving my head a little, waving the key threateningly.
"Let's just work this out." Kiara said stepping in between me and Kion.
"Kiara move! He could hurt you!" Kion said trying to get her out of the way.
"Kion shut up! I know Roxas would never hurt me!" Kiara said.
'She was defending me?'
Kion was shocked. "You're defending him?!"
"You're defending me?!" I too was surprised.
"What happened between you guys?" Kiara asked me.
"I-... I woke up in the middle of some area and I was scared, so I defended myself." I said with sorrow. I suddenly felt guilty. I had the feeling that Kion was just trying to help me.
'But was he?'
Kion's expression softened. "We were just trying to help you."
'Ugh. Now I've really messed up.' I felt my ears flatten. I felt so bad now.
"Oh no…" I said quietly, now looking at the ground.
I dropped the key out of my mouth. It landed with a light metallic thud. I then sat down.
"K-Kion… I don't know why I was thinking you were a threat to me. I honestly don't." I said still avoiding eye contact.
He then walked past Kiara and got a little too close to me. But he then put a paw on my shoulder, which made me flinch a little. I felt so vulnerable right now.
"Listen. Accidents happen. You didn't mean it, right?"
I nodded still looking at the ground.
He then took his paw off my shoulder and put it under my chin, raising my head, forcing me to look at him.
"Right?" He asked again.
'Okay, this is awkward that he just put his paw under my chin.'
"Y-yes." I mumbled.
He then smiled. "Good."
He then turned his attention to the key at our paws.
"Sooo… what's this?"
'Great now I have to explain the truth.'
After telling the four everything from how I got here, and what it's like not in this world, they started to understand.
"Woah! It sounds so much different than here." Zuri said, amazed.
"Yeah, it's way different." I said proudly.
I noticed however Tiifu was looking at me weirdly. She seemed to be daydreaming. But she was intently looking at me, but I brushed it off.
I looked ahead of the cubs and noticed the sun going down.
Kion seemed to notice too.
"Well, it's getting late. Might as well get back home. C'mon guys." Kion said motioning for us all to follow.
"Actually Kion… I think I'll stay under that tree next to the rocks." Kion looked over at what I was pointing at with an unsure expression.
"Are you sure? Do you want me to stay here with you?"
"Don't worry I'll be fine." I replied patting the key next to me.
"I'll stay with you, Roxas." Tiifu spoke up. This surprised the rest of us.
"No Tiifu I'll be fine." I said but she pressed on.
"Please Roxas, I insist."
'Ugh, I hate it when people do it, and now I hate it when lion cubs do it.' I was always told that if someone insists, whether you like it or not to accept their offer or gift.
I sighed a little. "You're positive?"
She smiled. "One hundred percent!"
As the other three cubs left me and Tiifu, Kion said one last thing to me.
"By the way, I'll let the rest of the guard know about the mixup."
I smiled and nodded.
as they disappeared, I was left with Tiifu, as we sat together watching them disappear.
"Alright then, let's go to sleep." I concluded.
As I got comfortable with the key propped up on a rock, I noticed Tiifu shivering a little.
"You okay Tiifu?"
She nodded.
"Are you sure that's the answer you want to give me?"
She shook her head no. "I'm just a little cold." Her voice was quivering.
'Ugh, lovely. Now I have to ask.'
"Do you want me to keep you warm?" I asked now nervously.
She nodded and I then proceeded to lay down and motioned for her to come closer.
She obliged and came really close to me, our bodies in complete contact. she then wrapped an arm around the back of my neck while putting her head under my chin.
'What is going on?' I asked myself.
However, I noticed a few minutes later that she was fast asleep. And soon, sleep found me too.
