Hello, and welcome. This is my 1st time writing a fan fic, and I hope it will be an enjoyable read. 1st of, i want to say that this is a Sokai story, with the Chrom and Sumia paring. Other pairings will be based of the playthroughs I've done on Awakening (so much replay ability in that game) Other KH characters will appear later and i will discus about them later too.
Other than that, enjoy the prologue!
Disclaimer, i do not own anything that is Kingdom Hearts or Fire Emblem related. This is only for enjoyment.
Emblematic Hearts: Awakening.
A Fire Emblem Awakening X Kingdom Hearts Crossover
Prologue: A Distant Call.
The stars continued to shine brightly in the azure night sky, each a unique and distant world. Such has ever been the view from the Mysterious Tower. Its lone vigil sat atop a patch of land suspended above a vast void of orange.
Deep in its uppermost floor, its three windows shaped like stars and moons opening up to the vast sky lies a room filled with cabinets and books, with two doors, one small and round while the other is tall and thin, lay at either end. In the centre lays a vast table, with a book, quills, and a skull acting as a candle holder spread upon it.
Behind it and situated in front of the windows, seated in a grand tall chair, sleeps a tall man with a long greying beard. Dressed in blue robes with a deep red interior and wearing a pointed blue hat adorned with yellow stars and crescent moons, he sleeps in deep meditation. Suddenly, a gentle breeze blows through the windows, flickering the flame on the candle. He opens his eyes, revealed to be but black dots, and glances over to his right. A small smile spreads across his lips.
"It has been many moons since last we spoke, Naga," he speaks to an empty portion of the room until a soft glow takes form before erupting into azure flames. As the fire fades, in its place stands a tall female, ears pointed and draconic.
Her long emerald-green hair stretches down to her waist as her emerald eyes scan over the small room, her pale skin glistening from the orbs of green and blue that surround her. She wears a pink sleeve and shoulder less dress that falls below her knees, held up by green string to a pink choker, while the same linen wraps around her arms. A gold and pale green belt rests upon her waist, with crystal stones hanging from it. Streams of water rush around her, obscuring her feet and lower legs. Her gaze falls upon the older man and smiles warmly in return.
"Indeed it has. Not since the time of the First Exalt have we conversed. The years have not been kind to you, Yen Sid."
The old wizard huffs at the comment before replying. "I take it you have not come all this way simply for idle banter now, Divine Dragon? Has something ill befallen Archanea?"
Naga's smile fades as a solemn look takes hold, her eyes down in sadness. "I fear you are correct." She replies. With a wave of his hand, the retired Keyblade Master summons a seat like his own for the Goddess from a cloud of magic, while a kettle and two teacup's filled with green tea appear on the table. Nodding her head in thanks, Naga settles herself before speaking again.
"An old foe from our distant past is on the rise, his return impending. Grima, the Fell Dragon." She speaks with steel in her voice, yet beneath lies a hint of fear. Yen Sid's eyes widen at this news. He had once aided the one who felled the Fallen God in his youth, a descendent of Marth. Though the days are hazy, he clearly remembers the power that Grima holds and the vast Darkness that spreads from his blackened heart.
"I have taken precautions to his return, a powerful light to blunt his rise. However, I fear it will not be enough. He has become more powerful than in the past, and I may be easily extinguished even with this light. And should Grima be victorious and plunge Archanea into his Darkness…"
"He will seek to do the same to the other worlds. World Order be damned…." Yen Sid finished for her, closing his eyes. It has only been a year since the Second Keyblade War, the worlds are at peace, Heartless, and Nobody sightings have vastly decreased, and Maleficent and Pete have not been seen since. And yet, this threat could undo all they have fought to achieve. He opens his eyes to face the stern gaze of Naga.
"I understand the threat he poses. However, I am far past my prime and could be of little assist in this fight. I am now just a watcher of the worlds." Naga's face briefly falls. "However, that does not mean I am incapable of sending help. I am not the only Keyblade Wielder in this sector." Naga glances back at Yen Sid, a small, rare smile adorning his features. "And I know just the two to send first…." His gaze falls to the stars in the night sky, one star, in particular, glowing brightly amongst its brethren.
The sky glows a deep orange and yellow as the sea glows an orangish blue. A small tropical island lies nestled amongst the waves, the waters slowly and gently breaking upon the soft white sand.
Amongst the stone and tropical trees lies wooden structures built into an extending tower, a small shack next to a pool with a waterfall, and a small entrance to a cave nestled near it. A wooden bridge stretched out from the "main" Island of the "play Isles" to a small round Island, with three trees swaying from it. Its most curious feature is a curved tree with a particular star-shaped fruit and an influential legend surrounding it. Such is told upon Destiny Islands.
Sitting upon its curved branch are two teenagers, both of whom have recently turned seventeen. Both of whom were more unique than their outward appearance would suggest.
The boy, a few inches taller than the girl, with spiky brown hair and sky-blue eyes, is wearing a black shirt under a black jacket, with red decals and a hood. His arms are covered in black palm and fingerless gauntlets, again with red decals. His knee-length trousers are baggy, with two small red belts around his thighs, held up by a blue belt. His shoes are yellow and black, while from his neck lies a silver crown-shaped necklace, held up by a silver chain.
The girl, whose hair is a deep shade of auburn with sea-blue eyes, is wearing a sleeveless pink and black dress that hugs her figure, with a black belt around her waist and a pink hood with black cat ears, over a white tank top. A Pearl necklace hands from her throat are on a black string, while on her right wrist are two bracelets of different designs. Her feet are clad in black boots that reach past her ankles.
In their mouths are a single green leaf, the only remains of the Paopu fruit they had just shared. A year ago, they both shared one, cementing a bond and entwining their lives and destinies from that day forth, a bond they have only strengthened, their love for each other forever their guiding lights.
"It's hard to believe it has only been a year ago since we fought in that war…" the girl speaks softly, to which the boy nods in return. "There were several moments which I thought we would fail, and Darkness would prevail, but we didn't. We won, and it was thanks to you, Sora." She gazes lovingly at him, to which he sheepishly rubs the back of his head with his right hand.
"Well, I didn't do it alone. I had all of you with me. Riku, Donald, Goofy, Mickey, Aqua, Ven, Lea, Terra, Roxas, Naminé, Xion, but you most of all. It was thanks to you, Kairi, that I ended up in the Final World and put myself back together and rescue the others for that second chance."
Kairi blushes as she giggles softly at Sora, their hands intertwined on the Paopu Tree. Then, her face fell. "For all the good it brought me. But, even after all the training Lea and I went through, I still ended up captured by Xemnas, after he managed to weaken me in that prison of nothingness he caught us with after I broke his guard."
She glances at the ocean, Sora following her gaze as he heaves a sigh. "Yeah. When I saw Xemnas grab you, I just froze. I should have rushed to help you, but I couldn't. Like some force was preventing me from moving." Sora sighs as he closes his eyes, his mind traveling back to that faithful day in the Keyblade Graveyard.
Flashback
Dark skies hover overhead as Sora pants from exhaustion. After having to fight through Twelve of Xehanort's Thirteen before facing the madman himself, he was pushing himself to his limit. The Kingdom Key, his faithful companion since he obtained the legendary weapon at Fourteen, a simple metal cylinder with a crown for teeth connected to a yellow square handguard with a black grip, with a Mickey keychain attached to it, weighs heavily in his hands.
He hears Riku's and King Mickey's breathing behind him, deep and heavy, while he gazes at the tall pillar of rock above him. Then, standing at its top, with eleven copies of his Keyblade, No Name, hovering around him, 'Master' Xehanort gloats as another is formed in front of him.
"Twelve Keys we have now…" as the twelfth version of his blade hovers around him before forming six on each side, spread out like demonic wings as he summons his own. "Leaving just ONE MORE!"
He then shoots a ball of energy into the sky. The clouds part as a yellow moon shaped like a heart fills the sky. Kingdom Hearts, the heart of all worlds, had been summoned.
"Now, Sora." He addresses the tired boy like a teacher "Darkness and Lights final clash."
Sora's eyes widen as he sees Xehanort lift an unconscious Kairi into the air next to him, his Keyblade pointed at her neck. She begins to float in front of him, his intentions clear as day.
"Kairi!" he cries, springing forward and running up the rock face, fear etched into his eyes. Xehanort's grin grows menacingly as he glances down at him briefly before returning his attention to Kairi.
"You require motivation." He speaks as though he is discussing the weather as he slowly raises his blade, ready to strike at her. Desperation encompasses Sora's heart, fear, and panic at knowing what Xehanort will do. Finally, in despair, and drawing upon a memory from Roxas, his former Nobody now Somebody (and arguably brother), from when he was in a similar yet different situation, he throws his Keyblade at him. White and yellow light surrounds the blade as it zooms forward.
So focused was Xehanort on his assured victory does he fail to see the blade until it collides with his. He gasps in surprise as he is flung back, his concentration broken as the spell holding Kairi in place fails, dropping her to the ground. Sora leaps from the stone wall, his body covered in the blue glow of Flowmotion, as he catches her and lands on the ground before a relieved Riku and Mickey. However, their victory would be short-lived.
"Not what I had foreseen, but a clash nonetheless." They glance upwards, a smirking Xehanort glancing at them as a thirteenth key is formed. Sora's eyes widen in horror. He played right into Xehanort's hands, again! Just like in his Mark of Mastery!
"And now, the Keyblade War shall reach its conclusion!" he cries as he raises into the air, the thirteen keys surrounding him before vanishing into light, before surrounding Xehanort's blade, changing its shape.
When the light fades, he no longer held No Name. Instead, he now had the X-Blade, the very counterpart to Kingdom Hearts. Even its form, two Kingdom Keys fused, creating a cross shape with the teeth facing out, yellowish-green frills extending between the teen and guard, and finally, two blades extending from the centre of the crossed keys, a smaller blade within the other, raises upward.
"Ah, at last, the X-Blade is complete!" Xehanort exclaims in satisfaction before turning his gaze towards the pale moon. "Kingdom Hearts, I call upon your true form! Open the door and show me what lies to come!" A beam of Darkness shoots from the blade's tip into the heart-shaped moon, enveloping it in violet darkness; the sky changes from clouded to that of daybreak, contrasting with the darkened moon, a grim reflection of the corruption setting into it.
Sora could only look around in shock as he held Kairi close to him, desperately thinking of how to stop this.
Flashback Ends
Snapping fingers in front of him breaks Sora from his daydream, almost falling off the back of the tree. He turns and pouts at a giggling Kairi. "What was that for Kai?"
"I'm sorry! I tried to get your attention, but you were completely zoned out!" she says between her fits of giggles, which before long had Sora joining her. Eventually, their laughter abides, and they return to stare at the setting sun, her head on his shoulder with his head on hers. Then, suddenly, a letter appears from a blue mist into Sora's lap. Curiously, he looks at it before opening it; his eyes widen before narrowing at what was written. Curious, Kairi leans to see what was written.
Sora, Kairi.
I trust that you are well and have been continuing your training. I know that the two of you are waiting patiently for the chance to take the Mark of Mastery, and in truth, I had almost just about called for you. However, I fear that events may lead to this being delayed.
An old Darkness from my past has begun to rise from its murky depths, and I fear I can no longer help. To this end, I am summoning you both for this task. Rest assured that the others will be notified, but time is of the essence.
I will tell you all that I can upon your arrival.
Yen Sid.
"What could Master Yen Sid be calling us for? I thought that peace was on the rise throughout the worlds." Kairi asks the brunette. He shrugs in response, his eyes still narrow after reading the letter a second time.
"I don't know, but whoever it is, it is clear that we are needed." He heaves a sigh before pocketing the letter and jumping off the branch. "So much for our plans this weekend." He says remorsefully to Kairi, who nods in return before jumping as well.
"It can't be helped. We are Keyblade Wielders, after all. Where this is trouble, we are needed." She smiles at him before clasping her hands behind her back. He smiles in return, crossing his arms.
"Yeah, your right. 'A Hero's work is never done!' as Herc would say." He says, imitating Hercules's voice to his best degreed, causing her to giggle at his silliness. "Come on, let's go and see Master Yen Sid." He pulls out a remote before pushing a button, and a beam of light encompasses them both, teleporting them to their Gummi Ship. Due to materials for making Keyblade Armour running scarce, it was decided that each would have their own Ship until enough was found to make one for each and future Wielders.
They glance at each other before nodding, with Kairi entering the coordinates and Sora steering the Ship to a warp point before vanishing into the sea of stars.
And that is the prologue. I hope you enjoyed it! As a side note, i want to say that i will be doing not only the normal chapters but us all of the green Paralogues (side stories) as well. the orange ones i wont do unless there is a big enough call for it. Same for other DLC missions.
In the mean time, May your Heart by your guiding Key.
