Ah ha ha! What is this? A crossover?! Between Kingdom Hearts II and Tales of Symphonia?! Dun dun duuun!!
Actually, I had a really hard time deciding where to put it. Should it be in Tales of Symphonia, or should it be in Kingdom Hearts? Even though it's through Roxas's POV, I decided to put it in Tales of Symphonia because 1) it takes place in Tethe'alla, 2) my friends said to put it in Tales of Symphonia and 3) I know the Tales of Symphonia people better! XD I know you guys are nice and won't bite, but I'm not so sure about Kingdom Hearts. Hmmm...
Anyway, first, a warning! First of all, THIS FANFIC MAY HAVE SPOILERS FOR BOTH GAMES. You have been warned. Secondly, THIS FANFIC IS SLIGHTLY ON CRACK. This probably wouldn't actually happen if Roxas went to Tethe'alla, but I felt like it. XD Thirdly, THIS FANFIC WILL HAVE THE MAIN PAIRING OF ROXAS AND ZELOS. Yes, it's shounen-ai/yaoi/whatever you want to call it. I know that some people don't like those kinds of fanfics, and that's perfectly OK.
Disclaimer Sora, come over here!
Sora: Scaff doesn't own Kingdom Hearts or Tales of Symphonia. If she did, Demyx would have more scenes in Kingdom Hearts II.
"So, the superior wants me to go to 'Tethe'alla'?" Roxas asked skeptically. Axel nodded. Roxas narrowed his cerulean eyes. "And he thinks I'll have trouble getting there, so he sent you to come with me?" Axel grinned.
"Yup. I swear I'm not making it up this time. It'll be a little trickier to get to Tethe'alla because it's shadowed to another world," explained Axel. Roxas raised an eyebrow at the red head.
"What do you mean, 'it's shadowed to another world'?"
"It's intertwined to its sister world called 'Sylvarant'. S-y-l-v-a-r-a-n-t. Got it memorized? The two worlds affect one another, but they can't touch each other or are aware of the other's presence."
"That's so bizarre," Roxas commented.
"Yup. Now come on, you can make your own way there by yourself, right? Or do you need me to help you?"
"Don't treat me like a baby. I'll be fine!" Roxas reprimanded. Axel shrugged and swirled his hand in a circular motion. A dark portal suddenly emerged from the palm of his gloved hand. The midnight doorway seemed to have a dark pulse of unknown energy. The fiery nobody put up his hood and entered. Roxas bit his lip. He wasn't too sure if he wanted to follow Axel through his portal or make one by himself. He didn't make up his mind quick enough, however; Axel's portal swallowed itself and disappeared as if it was never there. Roxas sighed and concentrated all of his magic into his hand and summoned up a dark portal. It expanded until it was big enough for Roxas to walk through. The blond took a deep breath and entered the darkness. He took two steps and appeared in a grassy field. The sky was an endless blue and the sun shined down on a city to Roxas' left. It was tall and had a castle in the heart of the city. Surrounding it was a tall brick wall protecting it from enemies. Roxas looked around to see only a few animals around him. He groaned.
"Aw crap. Where's Axel?"
-- -- --
Roxas pouted. The city was larger that it looked from outside. People were everywhere, shopping around, talking or looking important as they walked to their destination. Despite the masses of people Roxas went by, he couldn't find Axel. The nobody looked at his outfit and sighed. Wearing a black cloak in the middle of the day was just a little conspicuous. He wondered why the superior insisted on the uniform. It wasn't the most practical outfit as far as Roxas was concerned. People could easily identify him as 'the guy wearing all black!', the cloak was very hot and he often tripped on it if it was zipped down the whole way. Well… at least mud and dirt didn't show up easily on the black. Roxas continued to think about his uniform as he entered a clothing shop. His gloved hand slipped as he tried to turn to door knob. He sighed. Gloves were cool and all, but some things really were easier to do with bare hands. When he entered the shop, everyone looked at him. Roxas rolled his eyes and looked through the shits that were on sale. What he didn't like was that when people looked at him, he was a weirdo wearing all black. But when a taller member like Axel entered a room, people would get frightened. He was just a little too short to intimidate.
Roxas looked around at the store. It had pale yellow walls and around 20 different racks full of clothing. The store was playing some catchy background music. After people had gotten over what Roxas was wearing, they all went back to browsing. The store was a little small, but there were a lot of people inside. Roxas walked over to a rack that had no one looking at the clothing. It had a bunch of shirts with patterns on them. The nobody, to his surprise, found most of the shirts appealing to him. He mindlessly picked out a few when someone's voice startled him.
"Excuse me."
"Yes?" Roxas turned around to see a retailer behind him.
"Would you like to try those on?" she asked, pointing to the pile of clothing that had accumulated on Roxas' arm.
"Yeah, okay." The lady nodded and led him to a change room. Roxas eyed her suspiciously and walked into the small room. He slipped off his gloves, kicked off his boots and un-zipped his jacket. He pulled off his black shirt and stood in the change room staring at his reflection in the mirror. Staring back at him was a shirtless 14 or 15 year old boy with blonde hair that was flipped up to the right. He had black pants on that clung onto his ankles firmly. Roxas slipped on a black and white checkered shirt and beige cargo pants over his black pants. He looked at his reflection and liked what he saw. However, the price tags were less appealing. His clothing was on sale for a grand total of over 7300 'gald'. He looked at what the superior gave him: 1000 gald. Crap. Well, it's not like anyone here actually knew him… Roxas slipped on his boots, tied his shirt around his waist and zipped up his jacket. The nobody slipped on his gloves and put up his hood. Roxas slipped through the store. He stole a glance at the retailer. Good, she was paying attention to someone else. If he had a heart, it would be thumping. Roxas held his breath and slipped out of the store.
BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP!!
Roxas' cursed under his breath. The stolen clothing had tripped the alarm. All of the employees of the store spun around and started running towards Roxas. The nobody didn't take any extra time; he started to dash out of the store and into the Meltokio streets. Cries of, "Thief! Thief!!" echoed behind Roxas.
"Who?"
"The guy in black! Get him! He's a thief!!"
"Get that kid in black!"
Roxas cursed again. Stupid having to wear all black. He took a sharp right turn into a crowd of people. There were a few startled screams from the older women and shouts of "damn teenagers!" He slide to a stop and turned left into an alley. It smelt awful from dumpsters and urine. His luck ran out, and Roxas found himself at a dead end. He frantically looked around for a way out. Behind him he could hear the cries of people running after him. This couldn't end well. He didn't have enough time to create a portal; Roxas was still a newbie to the organization and wasn't very experienced. And even if he could, what if they followed him into it? That could only lead to more problems. Roxas looked at the brick wall. It wasn't too tall. Maybe if he climbed on a dumpster he'd be able to make his way over. He looked behind him so see someone running for him. The nobody jumped up the dumpster beside and with a fluid motion, maneuvered himself over the brick wall. He grinned, but then remembered that he wasn't the only person that could climb a dumpster. He let his shoulders drop and began sprinting once again. The alleyway had led him to a big open area. A city square, perhaps? Probably hundreds of people were around, talking loudly and walking aimlessly. Like a lightning bolt, Roxas dashed right into the crowd and took a turn left up some large stairs. There was a commotion and the people started talking quickly among themselves about "what was that?!" The nobody dashed up the stairs. He could still hear the calls of people behind him when suddenly he saw it. Red hair!! "That's gotta be Axel!" Roxas called. He smirked and ran faster towards the red blur. As he got closer, he noticed that Axel was… wearing pink? Is he pretending to be Marluxia? Roxas leaped behind Axel and grabbed his shoulders with his hands. "Axel, I finally found you!"
"Hmm?" The red head turned around and faced Roxas. Roxas' face dropped.
"Oh. You aren't Axel…"
"No, I'm not. You obviously don't know it, but I'm the great Zelos!" the red head said, flashing a smile. Roxas rolled his eyes. Who the hell did this guy think he was? The almighty one or something?
"There he is!!" Roxas turned around to see a group of people running towards him, only a few metres away. There was no where for Roxas to run. He was surrounded.
