Disclaimer: Kingdom Hearts is not mine; my twisted mind IS.
I've never actually written a tragedy for Kingdom Hearts, though my readers over on Fictionpress know that I've written a few (poorly).
So, without further ado, here is my tragedy! Or rather... my creepy pasta. Damn I've been reading too many of these. I also might make this its own fic later one. Or you know, just replace this one chapter. ... Me being depressed leads to the most interesting ideas...
Sora, I'm so fucking sorry little buddy!
Sora lives in an insane asylum. All of the events of the games are his own delusions, brought on by his toys of Donald and Goofy and of Mickey Mouse. His favorite movies and later on, Disney films that he watched in the hospital, are replayed in his head as his own adventures. He actually went insane and killed some boys on the island, claiming they were Heartless. This is why you do not see Wakka and Tidus in person beyond the first game; Sora killed them as a child and they only exist in his memories as children. This is why they appear in Chain of Memories. This is also why there's Disney and Final Fantasy characters in the series; Sora loved Disney films and watched Riku play several Final Fantasy games when he was a child. He cannot remember the boys he actually killed, despite their friendship, and filled them in with Tidus and Wakka from Final Fantasy X instead.
All of the Heartless and Nobodies are in his imagination; he is terrified of shadows and mirrors (they reflect the soul, thus the symbolization behind the Nobodies) due to a belief of monsters that stemmed from Riku's horror stories. He never was able to grow out of it, and later becomes worse, seeing the 'Heartless' and 'Nobodies' everywhere. He believes that he was the only one who could kill them, and this led to his incarceration. He also ends up creating creatures called the "Dream-Eaters" to combat this fear, saying that they were monsters created from his dreams. According to him, they either "eat dreams and plant nightmares", referred to as Nightmare Dream Eaters, or that they "eat nightmares", referred to as Spirit Dream Eaters.
As a child, Riku was the one to turn him in, thus earning himself the role of a villain and later an anti-hero due to this so-called betrayal. A young Kairi tried to stop him, earning her the role of a princess and precious person in Sora's fantasies. The other six princesses and later Naminé, were girls who either lived or worked in the asylum.
Naminé was an assistant nurse there, and helped encourage Sora's fantasies due her resemblance to Kairi. She played along with him, believing that they were harmless games. Her drawing ability and later on, her love of Sora earned her a part as a 'magical witch' and a central part in his story. Her sadness at not being able to help Sora led to the creation of 'Xion,' as a way to let Naminé "help save" Sora in a sense. After her creation, Sora did get better for a while until he began to reject his medication again. He also gave her the role of a princess for a while, before remembering Kairi was already his precious princess.
The Organization were doctors, nurses, and other patients that either tried to help Sora (earning their roles as villains) or tried to befriend him (anti-heroes such as Axel, who was an inmate). He developed a second personality (Roxas) in order to interact with them but kept his toys as friends, calling them memories of 'Sora.'
DiZ or Ansem the Wise is the head of the asylum and took a personal interest in Sora's case, thus earning himself a role as a villain and later an anti-hero once Sora discovers that Ansem will not hurt him. He once complimented Sora's Mickey Mouse plush and always greets it at Sora's insistence, thus cementing Sora's belief that they are friends.
The three Keyblade Masters (Aqua, Terra, and Ventus/Vanitas) are all people who live/work in the asylum. Sora once saw Aqua before she finished her nursing degree and came to work in the asylum, so he fervently believes she's a secret Keyblade Master.
Ventus is a boy who lives in the asylum and has an uncanny resemblance to what Sora thinks Roxas looks like. He also has a similar delusion to Sora, and after befriending him, became a central part of his story. He often played with Sora as a child and was the one to tell him about the Keyblade when he was five, which led to Sora adopting the weapon in his own fantasy later on. The Unversed are part of his delusion, which is why Sora has never fought one. Eraqus is also Ventus's delusion, his representation of what a father should be like. Vanitas is Ven's second personality, and what gave Sora the idea of the Dream-Eaters. After Ventus left the asylum, Sora 'forgot' about him, leading to why you don't see Ven in the games before Birth By Sleep.
Terra, due to how he reminds Sora of Riku, also became part of the story but as a villain; he is the one who forces Sora to take his pills/medication and Sora hates him with a passion, turning him into Ansem the Seeker of Darkness and Xemnas in his delusions. He is the thing to always be defeated, which means Sora must NOT take his medicine because that'll make him lucid and abandon his fantasies. So in order to defeat Terra/Ansem/Xemnas, he has to hide his medicine, distancing himself further from reality and keeping him in the asylum even longer.
Kairi and Riku visited him as often as they could, often playing along with him, unable to snap their friend out of his delusions. His own parents were ignored whenever they visited, the reason being that he could never be a hero with them tagging along with him. Eventually, he completely forgot them, supposedly destroying the 'chain of memory' inside of his heart that belonged to them. This is why you don't ever see them in the games, with the exception of his mother who calls out to him. This is the last moment that she exists in his heart as a full memory before he completely ignores her. His father has long since been ignored. He only vaguely remembers that he has parents.
Eventually, Sora is unable to deal with the real world, becoming completely immersed in his fantasy. Unable to see Sora like this, Riku kidnaps him out of the hospital, secretly taking him to the beach in Destiny Islands. He tries to force Sora back into reality but Sora is unwilling to leave his fantasy world, clinging to his toys and his childhood instead. In response, Riku throws him into the water, holding his head beneath it. Due to how he's lived in the asylum for most of his life, Sora doesn't know how to swim.
Kairi later comes by, managing to save Sora and call an ambulance as well. He sees this act and seems to come out of his reality, knowing that Kairi had saved him. At the last moments of his life, he sees her as Naminé and himself as Roxas, the representations of normality for him. He takes her hand and tells her that Riku and he had come back. She corrects him and says that they're home. Sora finally regains his sanity long enough to say good-bye to his friends.
The light continues to fade from the younger boy's blue eyes. It wouldn't stop fading, no matter how tightly she held onto him. His right hand is clenched tightly in hers and the girl continues to hold onto his hand, holding it just as tightly. Strangely, there's a happy smile on the boy's face, despite how badly he was shaking from the cold.
His clothes are soaked, his eyes empty, but still... there was that smile on his face. He smiles at them, reaching up with his left hand to touch their friend's face before he turns his gaze to her. "W-We're back..." He wheezes out softly, still smiling blankly at her, as if he hadn't seen her in a very long time. She nods weakly, giving him a vague smile as her violet-blue eyes fill with tears. "You're home." She corrects him quietly as she holds her other hand out to him.
He takes it, and she automatically plants a kiss on his wet forehead, silently welcoming him back.
"I'm home..." He says softly, closing his eyes as his friends hold him close. He clings to both of them, silently smiling as the light fades from his eyes. He was home.
