Hello good people reading this story of mine. I wanted to try a Soul Eater and Kingdom Hearts crossover, so here it is. This is my second story, so let me know what you think of it! I guess I'll say this too, even though you should already know this, I do not own Kingdom Hearts or Soul Eater! I wish I did, but I don't. Oh well.
oOoPrologueoOo
Falling, falling, it seemed that's all he's ever been doing. Or was he falling? The boy didn't know. He didn't feel like he was falling, but all he saw was eternal darkness, so perhaps he was. Where am I? the boy kept asking himself, but he could never find an answer. But he didn't seem at all worried; in fact he seemed quite content with the never ending darkness surrounding him. It made him feel calm, at peace. He knew he should be wondering what was happening, but he wasn't.
He didn't know if he had been falling for days, weeks, months, or years, but he finally landed on something. The boy looked down. He was standing on a platform that was made out of stained glass. The platform had a picture of a young boy with wild, spiky brown hair. His eyes were closed and his expression sad, or perhaps thoughtful. The spiky brunette was wearing a red shirt with a black and white short sleeved jacket over the shirt. He was also wearing red shorts with a blue belt securing them, and big yellow shoes. But what caught the boy's attention was the massive key the brunette was holding by his side.
There were five other smaller pictures of people by the brunette. One was a girl with short hair, and had a smile on her face. The picture under her was one of a boy with long, spiky hair, and had a smirk on his face. The picture next to him was one of an angry duck wearing a wizard's hat. The picture above the duck was a happy looking dog-like knight with a big goofy grin. And the last picture was one of a noble looking mouse with big ears, and had a large, all knowing smile on its face. They were all in a shade of blue, along with the rest of the background, which looked like a scene of a beach.
All of these people looked familiar, but the boy couldn't put a finger on where he saw them. He looked around; all around there was still never ending darkness. "Step forward, young one," a mysterious voice called out of nowhere. Where did that voice come from?! The boy thought franticly, but nevertheless did what the voice said. "Very good," the voice said, and the boy could begin to feel the ground shaking beneath him. He was able to keep his balance, and saw that three pillars appeared out of the ground with one item on each of them.
"Choose one," the voice commanded, "but choose wisely."
"Um, okay," the boy responded, feeling completely stupid doing that. He walked up to the first one. The pillar held a beautiful, viciously sharp sword. It had a symbol of a mouse head on the red hilt of the blade. The boy picked it up. "The Dream Blade," the voice told him, "This sword holds great strength. If used correctly, this sword can defeat any and all evil. If this sword falls into the wrong hands, however, it will bring mass destruction and death. Do you choose this as your weapon?"
I think I'll try the next one, thank you very much, the boy thought and put the sword back. He walked over to the next pillar. This one held a large, blue staff. Like the sword, the staff had mouse symbol at the tip. He picked the staff up. "The Dream Wand," the voice said, "This wand possesses powerful magic. It will teach you every spell known in the world. Spells to help others, or spells to drive away the darkness, it matters not. But, not all magic is good, you know. Do you choose this to be your weapon?"
I think I'm gonna skip this one too, he thought, and set the staff down. He walked over to the last pillar. This held a large, sturdy looking red and black shield. Like the weapons before it, the shield had the mouse symbol on it. "The Dream Shield," the voice said, as the boy held the shield, "This shield has great defense powers. Rather it is you, or your friends, the shield will protect any from the darkness that threatens them. But should you betray your friends in the most horrible ways, the shield will turn on you. Will you take this as your weapon?"
The other two weapons seem to be unpredictable, but the shield seems fine, he thought as he looked at the shield. The power to protect me and others sounds good. And the only way it would be bad is if I betray my friends, which I would never do! The boy thought about it for a little longer before coming to a decision. "I'll take the shield!" he answered. But, I don't know why I need a weapon.
"Very good," the voice responded, "but, I wonder, can you pass the test?"
Test? What test? The ground began to shake again, and the pillars sank back into the ground. In their place, a small, black creature with yellow eyes grew out the ground. Its antennas were quivering as it took in its surroundings. What the hell is that thing?! The boy thought, studying the creature before making any move to attack it.
The creature continued to stand there looking around. After about a minute, the creature finally noticed the boy looking at it curiously. It made a noise, and ran over to the boy, ready to attack him. However, the boy saw what was coming, and side stepped the attack easily. Then, he jumped and struck the creature in the head with his shield. The creature screamed, and sank back into the ground.
"Well done," the voice complemented, "but for everyone that is destroyed, there will always be more to take its place." Just then, five more of the same black creatures appeared out the ground. They all shrieked and ran towards the boy. He was able to dodge all of their attacks and defeat them easily. What were those things; and why were they attacking me? But the boy had no time to worry about that; a colorful stained glass stairway appeared out of nowhere, and perhaps led the way out of this weird place, or so the boy hoped.
He climbed the beautiful stairway and reached the top. There was another stained glass platform, but this one had a different image than the one before it. Instead of a brunette, the main one here was a blond. The blond looked a lot the brunette, but his hair was more tamed and less spiked in the back. His expression was also different; he looked more determined and confident. His eyes were open as well, revealing a piercing sky blue shade in them. His clothes were different too; he was also wearing a white jacket, but it was zipped up, only revealing a part of the black turtleneck underneath. He wore pants instead of shorts, and they were a grayish color instead of red. He had on normal sized shoes that were a dark gray color with red straps. He was also holding a giant key in front of him, but this one was much more complex in design.
There were eight smaller pictures of people surrounding the blond. The first one was a boy with spiky hair and had a bandana reading 'soul' on it, and wore an odd grin across his face. The second one was a girl that wore her hair in two pigtails; she looked very intelligent and had a smile on her face. The third person was another boy with spiky hair and had a wide smile on his face, almost as if he were laughing. The fourth person was a girl with long hair tied back into a ponytail. Her eyes were gentle and kind and wore a friendly smile on her face. The fifth person was a boy with a tame haircut, almost symmetrical except for the three white lines that covered the left side of his bangs; his expression was neutral, neither happy nor sad. The sixth and seventh pictures were of two girls wearing cowboy hats; the first one with a bored expression, and the second one with a very childlike smile and innocence. The last one was a very timid looking girl with short hair; her eyes were filled with loneliness and sorrow. They were all in a shade of yellow like the rest of the background, which seemed to be of a large town.
The boy stared at the blond. Is that... is that boy me? He thought while he looked at him. Then, his eyes widened in horror; he couldn't remember what he looked like! No, no, this can't be happening! Why can't I remember?! He looked up, and saw a large door at the other end. Oh, please tell me this will take me out of this freaky place! the boy hoped, and walked towards it. He reached it and tried to open it, but the door wouldn't budge. "The door won't open without the key," the voice told him.
"Key, what key?!" the boy asked angrily, "All I want to do is get out of here!"
"The key that will open all doors," the voice stated calmly, "but only a few people to ever exist have been able to wield it."
"You're really starting to piss me off!" the boy yelled at the voice, "Just tell me where the hell this key is so I can go home, please!"
"Can you wield the key too?" the voice asked, and just then, the door disappeared in a flash of light.
The boy looked at where the door was just seconds ago in shock. "What the hell did you just do?!" he demanded.
"Will you be able to defeat the evil that threatens the world?" the voice asked, ignoring the boy's demand. A dark purplish, eerie portal appeared in the place the door was just moments ago. There was a giant black creature coming out of it. The boy looked at it in horror, and turned around to see that the stairway was still there. He ran towards it, hoping to escape the giant that started to chase him. As soon as he reached the stairway, though, it also disappeared in a flash of light. Crap! Well, it looks like I'm gonna have to fight this thing! The boy thought, getting into a battle stance.
The giant raised its massive right hand, and smashed it into the boy. Luckily the boy was able to roll out of the way, and attacked the creature's hand with his shield. It seemed annoyed with that attack, and swept the boy off the platform with its hand. The boy grabbed the ledge with his hand and pulled himself up. How can I kill that thing, so I can go home? He asked himself, while dodging the fireballs the giant started to spew from its chest. He came up with the answer, although it was very simple. Attack the head!
Now that I know where to attack it, the question now is how I get up there? That thing is like fifty feet tall! The boy dodged another hand swipe, and landed behind the creature's back. Okay, it looks like I can climb that thing's back, he thought, and jumped on its back. While the boy climbed, the creature started to shake violently, trying to get the boy to fall off. But he was persistent, and continued to climb; although there were a few times he almost fell off. When he finally reached the top, the boy grabbed one of the tentacle like things coming out of the creature's head, and attacked its head repeatedly with his shield. The creature shrieked and knocked the boy off of its head with its claws.
The boy landed on his butt, and screamed from the pain coming from his back. He rubbed his back lightly with his hand and found his hand covered with blood. His blood the boy realized dimly. The creature held its head with both of its hands and continued to scream. The ground beneath the giant began to disappear, leaving only darkness. But this darkness was different from the other darkness the boy knew; while the previous darkness felt like total nothingness, this darkness felt cold, eerie, and evil. The creature was sinking into the darkness, much to the boy's relief. But the boy's relief was soon replaced with horror as he saw the darkness approaching him. He tried to crawl away from the darkness, but it was no use; the darkness kept coming.
Eventually, the boy reached the edge of the platform and could not go any further. He looked around, hoping to find some way to escape the darkness. But he found none, and the darkness began to consume him. No, this can't be the way it ends! It can't be! He thought and desperately tried to get out of the darkness. The darkness wanted him, though, and continued to swallow him up. One by one the boy felt himself being swallowed up; first his feet, then legs, then the waist, his stomach and neck, and his left arm, so all that was left was his neck and head, and his right arm, which he had raised, hoping that someone would pull him out. Please, someone, anyone help me please! And his wish was granted; a hand grabbed his and pulled him out of the darkness.
The boy looked at his savior; it was that timid looking girl in the stained glass. She was wearing a long black dress with a white neck collar. She also had on black boots. But there was something different about her. The boy realized that it was her eyes; they were no longer sad and lonely, instead, they were now filled with hope. She smiled at him, and the boy thought she looked prettier this way.
"Thanks for saving me!" he told her, "I'd be toast if it wasn't for you!"
"Well, you can't die just yet," she said, "You're the only one who can save us now."
"Wait, what are you-" but the boy didn't get the chance to finish his sentence as he was blinded by an incredibly blind light. Then, the world around him began to fade as he slowly fell into unconsciousness.
