Hello this is RokuxNami3 with a new story project of a take of Kingdom Hearts IV, this story will focus on Sora's journey throughout the Realm Beyond Reality, under a new identity and amnesiac fresh start. Now I wanna say this story takes elements from the Kingdom Hearts manga, Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, Yu-Gi-Oh! Arc-V, and Final Fantasy XIV
First comes the disclaimer: I don't own Kingdom Hearts as it belongs to Square Enix and Disney, despite Sora going under a new identity as a semi-oc, the concept of Sora and what makes him Sora belongs to his respective creators. Also in the fanfiction I'm sad to say Disney characters won't make an appearance, now I know it can't be Kingdom Hearts without Disney characters, but I wanna see how a Sora stacks up without them and it's not they won't make a full appearance as I can have them make cameos via flashbacks since they'll appear at random when this Sora is in a situation that causes flashbacks. Also thanks to Square Enix, Disney Interactive, along with Tetsuya Nomura and his team for bring the Kingdom Hearts series to life.
The World of this Story: Now for the world of this story well since we're delving in the concept of the realm beyond the reality Sora is used to he could end up ANYWHERE outside the KHverse such as places like Final Fantasy, Xenoblade Chronicles, Sonic The Hedgehogs world, etc. Here I want Sora to go on adventures in the world of Genshin Impact, yeah you heard right the mobile game made by Mihoyo, it's such a beautiful world with amazing characters, culture, and places to see which'll fit Sora's awe at the wonders of something like that. Now would the Heartless make an appearance? Hmm given not many fanfics delve into why they show up even with keyblade wielders like Sora being homing beacons is it even possible for them to appear outside their own verse, the only beings I can see coming are Unversed and the Samurai Nobodies which'll be explained later when I explain more about the world this Sora comes from. So I'll ask the important question do you want Heartless to appear anywhere in the Mihoyoverse let me know in the reviews or PM me.
Will Sora ever meet Aether and Lumine: Yes he'll met Lumine, but I kinda want Sora to take Aether's place so sadly I'm gonna have to offscreen Aether who'd be killed by the Unknown God, while Lumine is the Abyss Princess, I'm also planning on giving Sora and Lumine some sort of past as Lumine is a world hopper like he is which ll be explained more within the story if I can execute it well. Also I hope to delve into Lumine's grief of losing Aether like perhaps she develops some of Aether's mannerisms into her personality or something to that effect.
Pairings will they happen especially with Sora: Hmm idk as there's so many girls in Genshin I think are a perfect partner for Sora, but I have eyes set on Lumine, if I have to I can make spin off stories maybe involving what if Sora went this route with said Genshin female. As for the other characters being shipped with each other, hmm idk but I'm slowly becoming a Diluc x Jean fan maybe I can delve into a relationship between them maybe.
Now for the world this Sora came from.
Long ago he was a Keyblade wielder by the name of Ventus who trained to be a keyblade master with his friends Terra and Aqua, the events of BBS happen normally with some changes like.
Sora and Kairi weren't born yet, and Riku is, I wanna say, a year old at this point.
It was Kingdom Hearts who saved Ventus when he and Vanitas originally split.
Aqua placed the charm on Kairi's pregnant mother as she saved her from the Unversed sensing strong light within her unborn child.
Baby Riku out of curiosity grabbed Terra's keyblade ad he defending him and his mother while traveling the Destiny Islands.
When Aqua defeated Ventus-Vanitas(Ventus defeated Vanitas) this resulted in Ventus' death as his body faded and his heart ended up in the Final World, reuniting with Chirithy had him remember everything in Union Cross and wanting to see Terra and Aqua again to save them from Xehanort, Chirithy offered Ventus the opportunity to return via reincarnation and making his choice after seeing a future of his next adventures he reincarnated into Sora.
The time gap between BBS and Kingdom Hearts I is 14 years instead of 10 so the timeline can make sense.
Kairi is interested in seeing Radiant Garden as her mother told her stories while they're living on the Islands and Riku wants to visit other worlds to go on adventures, while Sora is an introvert wanting a normal life who grows out of his shell via Donald and Goofy growing into the heroic Sora we know today.
His introverted attitude goes to Roxas.
During Xion's battle with Axel in the Haunted Mansion, Xion unknowingly till it was too late absorbed Sora's heart aka she absorbed Sora into her very being and after being defeated by Roxas it freed Sora allowing him to reunite with Roxas by entering him completing them, forming Sora again after a tearful goodbye with Sora, Sora felt anger he never felt since Castle Oblivion and Awakening Sync Blade he gets in base challenges the Organization, but stopped by Riku.
Diz has Naminé erase the memories of his days as Roxas as she's fixing the chain of his other memories as DiZ would feel how much of a loose cannon Sora is with those feel them to be a hindrance, Naminé instead buries those memories deep in his heart which'll find their way to Xion who takes them for safety until she feels they're ready to return to Sora.
Sora is instead living the last days of summer vacation in Data Twilight Town until his memories fully come back with the Organization trying to claim Sora back.
The events of II happen like normally with some changes like Sora having Sync Blade in base for one. The Sephiroth and Lingering Will fights are canon and some elements of the manga like Demyx's death and Saïx mortally wounding Axel happens, also instead of fighting Roxas, Sora fights the personification of his regrets for failing to keep his promise to a certain someone (Xion).
The real Sora is called to help fix Jiminy's Journal where HE discovers the hurt of Terra, Aqua, Axel, and Xion. Not Roxas and Ventus as they'll be Sora, and Naminé as she and Kairi accepted each other.
DDD happens like normally except for it being Xion who he meets who gives him his memories of Roxas back and after learning he and his former fellow members including Axel and Xion his best friends were lied too about not having hearts in anger he attacks Xemnas which is what the Organization wanted as Sora gives into darkness and is almost norted, he's saved, but his powers are resetted and he and the completed Lea go to the dream worlds to catch up and rekindle their lost friendship promising to bring Xion back.
His relationship with Riku and Kairi is somewhat strained as remembering what happened when he was Roxas and within Data Twilight Town, made him mad at Riku and Kairi(moreso Naminé) for messing with his memories, but he forgives as there's no time for fighting and he and Kairi rekindle their relationship by sharing a paopu fruit.
In Monstropolis, Sora learns of his origins as Ventus from a time traveling Vanitas and gets his Kingdom Key destroyed leading it to get reforged into a key named Royal Key with Oathkeeper and Wayward Wind, along with gaining Voidless Crown, made from Kingdom Key D(From scrapped idea of Riku getting it in DDD), Oblivion, and Void Gear.
Sora saves Aqua and learns he's Ven, no need to return to Castle Oblivion for now and she and Sora can catch up as they promise to save Terra.
Keyblade War events happen normally except heartfelt reunions between the lost trios have Sora in Ventus And Roxas' places. Re:Mind happens normally except Kairi loses her life again sadly…..showing that life ain't fair and it can kick you when you down
Sora loses to Yozora and has his memories and identity erased and rewritten by the Master of Masters as he sends him off the vast reaches of the unknown of Unreality.
Final Words from Author: Like I said I'm taking elements of YGO GX and Arc-V more specifically the Supreme King stories as I'm interested in an idea of Sora being the wielder and host of said power, with Ventus being the first host back in Union Cross. Now would A Yubel-like character appear in this stories narrative? Yes and she's tied to Ventus during the Union Cross days. Now extra disclaimer would be I DO NOT own Genshin Impact either as that game belongs to Mihoyo now newly branded Hoyoverse, thank you Hoyoverse for making this beautiful game and keep up the good work with the story, countries and character designs. Also special thanks goes to a friend names RKS Legacy as he helped me get this storyline and character straight on Discord DMS, give his story Kingdom Hearts: Daybreak Academy a try it's a very good alternate tale of the events of Union Cross in the form of RWBY and Harry Potter like settings.
Be safe out there and be on the look out for the prologue chapter!
