Okay, so me and my sister… Let's call her Luna, were sitting in the car, waiting to go to church. And because of this, I was flicking through my pictures on my MP3 and I showed her one of little Riku and Terra.
This is where this story was inspired.
Disclaimers: Birth By Sleep, the original picture (I can't remember who drew it), and my sister's brain (cause my mom would kill me if I dismembered my sister!) do not belong to me. By the way, spoiler alert for you guys who A, don't have this game or b, haven't gotten this far.
By the way, we have very strange minds. Especially me.
And yes, this cutscene actually sounds pretty wrong if you think about it from a certain perspective. And it's freaking hilarious to think that Terra would ACTUALLY get in trouble for a child's words. Cause kids say the darnest things, don't you think?
With that in mind, I hope you enjoy!
As Terra sits in the small, cramped jail cell of the Destiny Island prison, he couldn't help but think that this was all his fault. He really, really should have thought this through. After all, he had just randomly decided to just give a Keyblade to some little kid he met on the beach. Never mind that he thought that maybe he should be taking his medication again.
What was up with that hallucination of an older… never mind, that didn't matter. What he needed to do was somehow get out of his jail cell and back to fight Master Xehanort once and for all.
"Hey, scumbag! You got a visitor!" One of the guards shouts angrily, glaring at Terra with disgust. Terra nods solemnly; he had gotten used to the glares after being locked up for nearly a week. As Terra looks up, he gulps nervously when he notices that it was the police officer that had arrested him in the first place. The officer glares at him, too, and runs a hand through a mane of spiky brown hair as he unlocks the cell door.
"Come on." He snaps coldly as he pulls Terra to his feet and drags him off.
"… Riku, is this the man you saw on the beach?" The officer asks softly as the little boy munches on a popsicle, seemingly unimpressed by the tall man sitting in front of him in chains. Terra smiles nervously; this kid was the kid that he had performed the Keyblade Inheritance with and was now in fact, a future Keyblade Master.
"Uh huh. Hi mister, what are you doing here?" Riku says calmly, still licking at his ice cream. He gives a small wave to Terra who gives him one back weakly.
"I got arrested…" Terra admits to the small boy quietly. Surprisingly, Riku gives him a smirk and shrugs.
"Well, that's what you get for trespassing where you're not supposed to go." He says bluntly before licking at the now exposed popsicle stick and shoving the wooden pole in his mouth like a toothpick.
It took a few seconds for Terra to process his words, before realizing that the boy meant his voyage into other words. Riku had apparently assumed that Terra had been arrested for "trespassing" onto the Islands.
"Uh…. I'll keep that in mind." Terra says with a blush as the officer smacks him in the head and looks at Riku solemnly.
"Now, will you explain what that man told you, Riku? And just what he did?" He asks in a soft and very concerned voice.
"… He said to keep it a secret." Riku says, making Terra flinch in horror. He HAD said that, but coming from such an innocent little boy, it almost made what Terra did sound WRONG. And from the dirty look that the brunet officer was giving him, it sounded as if they thought that Terra had done something horrible to Riku.
"… Well, I give you full permission to tell him! Come on, Riku, go ahead." Terra says quickly, hoping against hope that Riku would be able to help convince the adults of Destiny Island that he was innocent and to let him go.
Riku eyes him carefully before retorting:
"He let me hold his big Key."
From the horrified expression of the police officer, Terra knew he was screwed.
