KINGDOM HEARTS: This World Tallon
by RedMageMoogle
H'okay, so here's my first ever fic, kupo! I won't give any spoilers, but I will say that it's a KH/Metroid crossover. Kupo. I'll be working on it a lot as time progresses.
On with the show, kupo!

-En route to Tallon IV-
Log 199, 12.20.20XX
Unidentified bioform readings found on planet Tallon IV.
Investigate and eradicate if necessary.
Aid from Chozo Ghosts requested.
These were the orders from the Galactic Federation on the computer screen inside bounty hunter Samus Aran's gunship, which she had named "Phoenix Flame" for its fiery orange color. The screen then showed a small, pudgy looking creature. It was entirely black except for its eyes, beady and glowing yellow. It also had two zigzaggy antennae. Not to mention its prodigious claws.
"Subject is an entity of darkness, using its claws as its main attack force, as well as attacking in swarms. It is quite tenacious, chasing its prey until the end. Prey seems to be the hearts of any living creature. It is unknown where the hearts go after consumption, as the subject does not eat it: rather, they send it off somewhere. They are not very intelligent, nor are they very strong. Easily eliminated."
Samus sighed. Something that weak couldn't be that dangerous. She looked down at the planet below.
Since she'd destroyed the aberration known as Metroid Prime, the planet's Phazon corruption had ultimately disappeared, returning the inhabitants as they were before the meteor strike 100 years ago.
Apparently, the Ghosts had been expecting her, as there was a new landing pad on the spot she had landed her gunship last time.
She landed the ship successfully, and emerged, clad in her Chozo-made Power Suit.
Jumping down from it, she was greeted by a Ghost, who gave a short bow, and said,
"Welcome, Newborn. It is a pleasure to see you again."
"You as well, Hikaru," Samus replied casually. "Although I don't have time to visit."
"Yes, you have a job to do, hmm?" Hikaru was lost in thought for a second before he spoke again. "It's about the Heartless, isn't it?"
"Heartless...they wouldn't have anything to do with this, would they?" Samus showed the wispy spirit a hologram of the pudgy creature she'd seen aboard Phoenix Flame.
"Yes. That is a Shadow, the most basic form of Heartless. A few Power Beam rounds should be more than enough to defeat one. However, beware its strength in numbers..."
"I will. Thanks, Hikaru."
"Farewell."

That's not bad for a first chapter, is it, kupo? R&R, kupo!
