I don't own Total Drama or Kingdom Hearts
Chapter 1: Farewell Hawaii
"Geez Cody, sleeping out on the beach is not great for your skin." Cody heard as he slowly began to open his eyes. Groaning thanks to the kink in his neck, he slowly began to sit up and quickly took note that he was laying down on the beach in front of the resort that the contestants/previous contestants were staying at. The heads of the show decided to let all of them stay at the resort in a sort of vacation to make up for everything they did to the teens over the course of the three seasons. Plus, after the whole volcano blowing and nearly killing all of them...they really didn't want to get sued.
Cody yawned and rubbed his eyes before deciding to lay back down and rest...only to jump as he saw Bridgette leaning over him. She giggled at his reaction before helping Cody to his feet. "Yeah yeah, very funny Bridgette. So what are you doing over here?" Cody questioned the surfer. He thought she'd be back at the resort with Geoff. It was rare to actually see the two of them separate. Everyone knew Bridgette has been trying to make up almost cheating on Geoff during World Tour so they usually don't see her away from Geoff.
Bridgette awkwardly smiled while rubbing the back of her head. "I was going to come surf, but I can see the waves aren't that great today. I was heading back when I saw you sleeping down here. Didn't really want to leave you to get an awful sunburn," Bridgette explained while pointing to her surfboard to prove her story. Cody nodded his head before smiling and thanking her for waking him.
"So what are you doing down here?" Bridgette questioned Cody who flinched as he remembered why he came down to the beach.
"I'm trying to hide from Sierra. I rarely ever come down here, so I knew she would more than likely never check here. *sigh* I just don't get it. I thought she understood that I only wanted to be her friend, but she is still acting like a creepy stalker...I don't know what to do Bridgette," Cody said as he rolled himself up into a ball. Bridgette frowned sadly as she bent down and placed her hand on his shoulder which got him to glance up at her.
"I think...it'd be best if you just went up to her and told her that you do not want to be with her in a romantic fashion. I've always hated how you had to deal with her creepy obsession with you. I know it sounds mean, but I think that would be your best bet," Bridgette told Cody causing him to look away for a moment before nodding his head as he stood up. As he stood, he had suddenly had a flash from the weird dream that he had. He began gripping his hand in a similar way that he would when holding the sword from the dream.
After a moment of silence, Cody looked back at Bridgette and asked, "Where's Geoff? I figured that he would be down here with you." Bridgette suddenly froze in place which caused Cody to wince as he realized that something must have happened thanks to the pained look in her eyes. "I'm sorry, I didn't know something happened. You don't have to answer Bridgette," Cody told her with a small smile to try and ease her pain, but she still looked pretty upset.
Bridgette looked away from Cody for a moment as she began to contemplate on if she should tell him. The two weren't particularly close friends, but she has seen how kind he is during TDWT. Plus, the pain has been weighing down on her for days now, and she really wanted to tell someone.
Making her decision, Bridgette took a deep breath before looking at Cody. "Geoff and I...We broke up a few days ago. A-After trying so hard to apologize for what happened with Alejandro, it seemed to work, but Geoff...I don't know what happened. He was beginning to revert back to his past self from the Total Drama Action Aftermaths. He was pushing for us to further our relationship, but I-I didn't want to. I mean sure we make out a lot, but that doesn't mean I'm ready for...you know. I'm only 16. After refusing him, he began yelling, and we began arguing until he finally brought up Alejandro again. That-That finally broke me. All I remember was yelling at him, and finally breaking up with him before running out. I haven't actually spoke with him for awhile now," Bridgette finally finished while covering her eyes as she felt tears begin to form in them.
Cody just stared at Bridgette in shock. Other than Lindsay and Tyler, Bridgette and Geoff always seemed like the most stable couple in the show. Cody actually felt slightly jealous from how much they seemed to care about each other. Clearly, at least one side of the relationship cared that much about the other. Cody felt a frown form on his face as he saw Bridgette on his knees on the sand crying. Sure Cody was used to helping female 'friends' (use that term loosely) back home, but he never comforted one after a break up.
There was also the fact that the two weren't particularly close friends. They never spoke much on or off the show, but when they did, the conversations were always nice and friendly. Cody suddenly had a memory from the strange dream come back to him.
"What's most important to you?" Dream Bridgette asked Cody. After a few moments of thinking, Cody responded to her questioning, "I'm still in the dream huh? Okay...Friendship is most important to me."
"Hmph is friendship really that important?" Dream Bridgette responded.
"Friendship is everything to me," Cody thought to himself as he looked back up at Bridgette. He walked over to the crying blonde and bent down next to her. He placed his palm on her shoulder which seemed to make her flinch for a moment.
"Bridgette...I've never been in a relationship so I can't say I know what you're going through. I have been in love with someone before, and felt heartbreak before. I'm sure you know who I'm talking about," Cody began causing Bridgette to glance at him, "It was hard to deal with. I desperately wished it wasn't true, but it was. She was once again with someone else who I know doesn't deserve her. I spent countless nights crying over her, and I honestly didn't think I could get pass it. I tried to cope with the pain in different ways, but it never helped. Then a miracle happened, I found myself thinking less about her, and I found the feelings I had for her begin to ease away. I didn't know what was going on."
"I spent awhile thinking about it only to realize it was still occurring. After a few days of thinking, I finally realized what was happening," Cody finished with a smile causing Bridgette to glance up at him in confusion with tear marks on her cheeks.
"W-What helped?" Bridgette asked him as she leaned forward. Cody smiled as he looked at her before bringing his finger up and saying, "Friends."
Bridgette just stared at him in confusion at the one word response.
"Friends?" Bridgette asked him causing Cody to nod his head while his smile widened.
"Yes! Friends are the answer. Before Sierra reverted to her stalker self, we use to hang out all the time in the resort. That helped take my mind off things. When I wasn't hanging out with Sierra, I played video games with Noah and Harold in the game room, I practiced my music with Trent in his room, I would go swimming with Izzy and Owen, heck Lindsay and Beth even hung out with me. Granted Linsay and Beth usually had me be their dummy when they wanted to see what kinds of make up would be good for them, but hey I was making them happy so you know, silver lining," Cody chuckled at the end while rubbing the back of his head at all the memories of being covered in make up ran through his mind.
Bridgette just chuckled at the thought of Cody covered in make up before Cody once again placed his hand on her shoulder. "Plus Bridgette, while I know we never hung out that much, I always did enjoy the various truth or dare games we played. Heh, I remember all the times I won," Cody told her with a large smirk on his face causing Bridgette to puff her cheeks.
"Oh you mean the one time you won because you cheated and dared me to stand on my hands for ten minutes. Ugh, I still remember vomiting thanks to that," Bridgette fired back while playfully shoving Cody's shoulder causing him to laugh. Bridgette began laughing with him as they leaned against each other. As he was laughing, Cody glanced over at Bridgette and saw that she was beginning to calm down causing him to smile.
Cody stood back up and held his hand out to Bridgette who stopped laughing and looked at him. With a smile on his face, Cody gently asked, "So, you want to go hang out?" Bridgette's mouth fell open for a second before smiling slightly and nodding her head as she took his hand.
The Next Day -Resort-
Cody sighed as he sat in his room as all the dreams that he had recently been having kept flowing through his mind. The memories of the pain he felt in those dreams, the feelings of fear and confusion he felt, and that voice...it was all too real. Could it have been real? Was him sitting in his room even real or just another 'dream?' It was so frustrating! He wanted to tell someone, but everyone would think he's crazy or that's he over thinking things.
Especially Noah, he knows the bookworm would just tell him that he's finally gone crazy thanks to the show or Sierra's returning stalker behavior, and on any other day Cody would agree with him, but this feeling...he couldn't just ignore it.
Cody sighed as he dragged himself out of bed and went to change into a fresh pair of clothes after a quick shower. He walked out of his room after looking back and forth to see if Sierra was around. He really wished she would go back to acting like a friend like before. He really didn't understand what had gotten back into her, but it was really beginning to get on his nerves.
This thought caused him to pause for a second as one of his earlier thoughts popped back into his mind. "Has most of the time in the resort just been another dream? It would explain why Sierra has began to act so obsessive again and why Bridgette and Geoff broke up again. I mean they were such a great couple, there's no way they would actually break up...But still...this seems all too real," Cody thought to himself as he dragged himself down the hallway before exiting the building and heading out towards the soda bar by the pool.
He sat down and asked for a cup of water while resting his head on his hand. He heard shouting coming from the pool followed by laughter. He glanced over and saw Katie and Sadie splashing around in the pool while Izzy was sitting on Owen's shoulders yelling happily. Cody had remembered that Izzy had gotten much smarter thanks to her injury during the show, but...it seems she is back to normal...well as normal as she originally was. And that her and Owen are still close...even if they aren't dating anymore.
DJ was sitting on one of the beach chairs talking with Geoff who was acting normal. This caused Cody to slightly narrow his eyes. Real or not, Geoff is very low on the 'People that Cody Respects' list after hearing from Bridgette about everything he put her through. Cody continued looking around where he spotted Gwen and Duncan making out in the hot tub caused him to groan slightly. While he was losing his crush on her, Cody still felt a slight pain at seeing them making out...plus it was just gross.
He sighed as he got up after chugging down the water before heading out of the area to see if he could find one of his friends to hang out with. He really needed to clear his mind of these thoughts. They were beginning to worry him. He felt a large chill go down his back as he continued walking causing him to pause and quickly duck under a table. He looked over and saw the cause of the chill, Sierra.
"Oh Codikins! Where are you?! I was thinking we could hang out at the beach!" Sierra yelled as she ran out and began snooping around the pool area causing Cody to sweat. Grabbing the sheet on the table, he waited until she had her back turned and quickly shot out from under the table while covering himself with the sheet. He wanted to clear his mind, but not like this!
After a few minutes of running, he found himself in the game room where he quickly tossed the sheet off his head. He panted slightly before looking up and seeing Noah staring down at him. "So there you are. You're crazy stalker just rushed out of here a few minutes ago in search of you," Noah told Cody as he quickly turned to head back over and continue reading his book. Cody just slightly smirked up at him before standing back up and heading over to Noah.
"Good, that means she won't be back in here. Hey, do you want to play a few games?" Cody asked Noah who didn't respond and just read his book causing Cody to sigh in annoyance. Noah might be one of his best friends, but the guy could get on his nerves so easily!
Cody slapped him in the back of head causing Noah to complain while rubbing his now sore head. "Hey! You didn't have to hit me! I was going to respond after I finished the page. I swear you get on my nerves so easily. I don't really understand why I hang out with you," Noah mumbled in annoyance. Cody just smirked before crossing his arms and raising one eyebrow.
"*sigh* Cody, I'm sorry, but I really want to finish this book by the end of today. Why not go hang out with Mr. Music? I'm sure you need more work on perfecting your singing. My room is right next to yours and from I hear when you're singing, you need all the help you can get," Noah finished with a smirk causing Cody to glare before hitting Noah's shoulder causing him to groan.
"Fine...Since you so 'nicely' put it that way, I'll go see if Trent wants to hang out," Cody told Noah before nodding his head to him to gesture good-bye before turning to leave the room. Noah sighed as he sat back down and grabbed his book. It was tough being a best friend.
Cody chuckled as he guessed what Noah was thinking before making a left and heading back to the contestants' rooms. Trent was probably in his room. He waved at Lindsay who was oddly enough by herself today. She saw him and quickly waved back with a happy smile on her face causing Cody to chuckle as he continued on his way.
He passed by the sports area where he saw a depressed Courtney sitting by herself near the tennis court. Cody felt himself begin to pause. Ever since he began to lose his crush on Gwen, he had began to re-evaluate his actions after it was revealed that Gwen and Duncan had kissed. While he felt completely justified in punching Duncan, his complete disregard for how Courtney felt...that was not something he was proud of. While he was also dealing with the pain of the reveal, Courtney had to be feeling more pain than he was. Her boyfriend cheated on her with her friend. He saw how the two girls were becoming friends during the show only for that to happen? She had to be dealing with a lot.
It didn't help that he kept muttering to himself about Gwen, carving Gwen's head (although he was sure that she had some satisfaction in cutting its head open), and constantly talking about how sad he was about Gwen. It wasn't fair to Courtney. Cody looked away for a moment before nodding his head and heading over to Courtney.
Courtney apparently hadn't noticed as she didn't make any move to leave; however, when he finally did reach her, she looked up at him with some annoyance. "What do you want?" Courtney questioned him with slight venom in her tone.
Cody winced before looking at the ground while rubbing the back of his head. He never had to apologize to someone over something like this, but he knew he had to. Gulping a large amount of air that he didn't know he was holding, he looked at her in the eyes. He immediately wished he hadn't as he could see the dislike she held for him.
"Courtney...I...I want to apologize," Cody stated as he felt a small frown appear on his face. Courtney just looked at him with confusion and anger on her face.
"Apologize about what geek? Coming up to me? You shouldn't have done that to begin with," Courtney angrily told him as she stood to her feet and glared him down. Cody, on any other day, would hate being spoken to like this...but he knew he had it coming. He looked at her sadly which seemed to catch her offguard if the look in her eye said anything.
"No, I want to apologize...about Total Drama World Tour. When Tyler announced Duncan and Gwen's kiss...I was so shocked and so hurt when I found out. I kept feeling sorry for myself and kept worrying about Gwen that...I never even considered how you felt. I let how I felt about Gwen shroud my sense of what's right. You didn't deserve to be cheated on. You deserved to have someone try and comfort you at that time. While I probably wouldn't be the right person since I'm not that good at comforting people, you still deserved somebody to help you through it. I was jerk, and I only cared about myself. It took me getting over my crush on Gwen to realize that," Cody finished as he bowed to Courtney who just stared at him in shock. Clearly he had been thinking about this for awhile.
Courtney stood there and tried to think of a response, but was having trouble. After a moment or two, she finally found what she wanted to say.
"You can stand back up Cody. Thank you for apologizing. It's not completely your fault. You did really like Gwen so of course you would have been feeling awful. And I know you're not the type of person to suddenly want revenge on someone so I didn't expect you to want to eliminate her. While your constant sighing over her and everything did get annoying...that was just your way of coping. But still thank you for apologizing. You're actually the first person here to show any concern on how I was feeling," Courtney admitted while looking away sadly. Cody frowned at that. He knew DJ would have, but Courtney was pretty angry ever since the show ended so she probably scared him off by accident.
Cody let a smile appear on his face which seemed to grow when he saw a small smile on Courtney's face. The two awkwardly stood there in silence before Cody quickly told her he was going to go hang out with Trent and asked if she wanted to join. She quietly rejected his offer, but thanked him for it.
Cody turned around and headed to Trent's room with a large smile on his face. He might have made a new friend today, and even if all this does turn out to not be real...all he cared about at the moment was that he made someone happy.
The Next Day -Resort-
Cody yawned as he rose in bed. Yesterday's singing session was a blast. He was getting rather good at it if he does say so himself. Cody suddenly felt a large chill go down his spine as he heard the sound of hard rainfall hitting the resort outside. He quickly changed into his normal set of clothes and rushed outside.
His eyes widened in shock as he ran outside and saw how dark the sky was. Apparently he wasn't the only one as he saw the others coming rush outside as well.
"Cody!" he turned as he saw Bridgette come rushing over to him. Behind her was Noah and Courtney.
"Guys do you have any ideas on what could possibly be happening?" Cody asked them as he looked back up at the sky.
"Oh yes Cody, we just happen to know exactly what's going on with nature," Noah sarcastically responded while rolling his eyes.
"If I had to guess, some kind of typhoon maybe?" Courtney answered as she tried to think of the possible reasons for this. Cody thought about her answer before noticing something. Trent, Gwen, and Duncan weren't anywhere nearby.
"Shit! Trent, Gwen, and Duncan aren't here! I don't really care about Duncan, but the other two...I need to find them! Guys stay here in case they come back. I'll be back as soon as possible!" Cody told them as he ran off while ignoring the yells of his friends. Courtney narrowed her eyes in annoyance, but reluctantly stood there until she saw something out of the corner of her eye. She turned her head and told Bridgette that she'd be right back before walking off.
Cody rushed into the nearby woods while shouting their names. When he didn't hear any responses, he began to worry. As he searched, he noticed something on a nearby rock surface. It looked...almost like a keyhole. Cody slowed his running as he found himself entranced by the keyhole. He began to walk over to it when he felt a strong gush of wind blow from behind him.
He quickly turned and saw a man in a robe looking back towards the resort. Cody brought his arms up to defend himself in case the man became violent. The man ignored Cody as he continued looking at the resort before looking up at the sky. "This world is connected."
Cody gasped at the man's voice before yelling back, "What do you mean by that?! Do you know where my friends are?!" The man seemed to ignore Cody as he took a few steps forward before finally turning around. Cody couldn't see his face since it was so dark under the robe, but he could tell the man was dangerous.
"Pitiful. This world isn't meant to last." The man stuck his arm out towards Cody who jumped at first before feeling the gust come back. This time though, the gust was much stronger as he was sent flying through the air and head first into a tree.
Cody's vision soon went black while the last thing he heard was, "Don't be scared. The light will protect you."
A few moments later, Cody's eyes shot open as he jumped to his feet and looked around. The storm had gotten much worse as the trees had collapsed, and he could see the resort falling to pieces. "Crap, I need to get back to check on everyone. Trent and the others might be back by now," Cody muttered as he began running back to the resort only to gasp as three of those creatures from his dream jumped out of the ground.
"What the-! But you were from my dream! So is this a dream...no...this is reality. That dream was a warning for this...it had to be," Cody muttered as he tightened his hands into fists and gritted his teeth. They began scattering around before jumping at him. Cody's eyes widened as he brought his hands up to defend himself while closing his eyes in fear. Suddenly, a light erupted, and he didn't feel any contact from the creatures. Opening his eyes, he was surprised to see a large blade that was shaped like a key.
Staring down at it, Cody inspected it in confusion before noticing more creatures appear causing him to glare as he brought the strange weapon up and got into his fighting pose. "Well come on then!" Cody yelled angrily as he shot forward. He ducked under the first creature, blocked the second one, and spun around it to slice through the third one destroying it. He then quickly spun around as the other two came rushing at him. As the first sunk back into the ground, the second leapt at Cody who brought his weapon up to defend himself only to be caught offguard as the first leapt out and struck him across the chest sending him backwards.
Thankfully, he caught himself in time as he was able to reflect the other one's jumping attack and push it back. Cody jumped into the air and brought his weapon down with as much force as he could muster. One jumped out of the way, but the other wasn't quick enough and found itself being sliced into two. Cody stood back up only to gasp and roll out of the way of the other one. He quickly turned and threw his weapon on impulse at the other creature, instantly killing it.
Cody sighed in relief as he began panting hard while also wincing in pain from the hit earlier. He looked over at his weapon and began to walk over and grab it only for it to reappear in his hand. "Okay...so this thing will be easy to keep a hold of," Cody muttered as he quickly turned and continued running back to the resort.
As Cody ran, he began seeing pieces of the ground rise into the air. Confused, he looked up and felt his mouth drop in shock as he saw a huge void of darkness sucking everything into it. "It's official...this is the apocalypse," Cody muttered under his breath as he felt fear begin to creep into his heart. Suddenly, he felt the ground shake before he felt himself rising up. Gasping, Cody turned to try and find a way off before he got sucked in only to stop at the sight of the monster he fought at the end of his dream.
"Oh no...it's back...and it's bigger," Cody muttered in a scared voice before shaking his head. He needed to get out of here and find his friends. Hopefully, they were still safe. He quickly jumped into his fighting stance and glared the monster down. It fell to its knees and brought his arms back. Cody watched in shock as small orbs of light began shooting off the large gaping hole in its torso. He brought his weapon and blocked each one which took all his strength thanks to the force behind them.
After reflecting the attacks back at the monster, he ran at it and jumped onto the bottom of the hole in its torso, then its arm, and finally onto its shoulder where he began slicing away at its head to try and kill it as quickly as he could, but it quickly hit him off with its head as it rose back up to full height. Cody hit the ground hard and let out a groan before gasping as he rolled out of the way of its enormous fist as it came crashing down.
Cody quickly shot up to his feet and ran over to its fist where he began slashing it as much as could until it finally let out a roar of pain as it fell to the ground. Cody was able to dodge it unlike in his dream. He quickly ran over to it and brought his weapon up before impaling its head with it causing it to roar again. Cody pulled the weapon out and moved from the monster while staying alert in case it got back up. Thankfully as it began to, the void sucked it up.
Unfortunately, the same could be said of Cody as he found himself holding onto a branch for dear life only to gasp as it broke, and he was pulled into the air. "Noooo!" Cody yelled as he saw the rest of Hawaii get broken apart and sucked up with him. As soon as Cody's legs entered the void, he blacked out.
And to any other world, there was one less star in the sky.
AN Woo first chapter done! Okay like I said, here's three girls in Cody's Harem (there will be more (but it won't be huge, about five in total maybe six, and the harem will only consist of TD girls):
Bridgette, Lindsay, and Gwen
Now I already have his companions planned and most of the worlds he will be going to in this fic. Like I mentioned before there will be more fics once this one is done based on Chain of Memories, KH II, and KH III so I can't use worlds that debut in those games...except Pirates of the Caribbean...I will be adding that one in this one :D
Now then! I hope you liked this fic and leave reviews (please don't ask about my other fics in the reviews. I will begin updating them soon, after I get a few more chapters uploaded for this one as it is front and center in my brain at the moment).
Also be on the look out for the pic of what Cody will look like in this fic! It will be the cover for this fic (unless I get a better one in the future *wink wink, nudge nudge* hehe just kidding).
