I don't own Kingdom Hearts or any of the characters within the Arkhamverse. They belong to Square Enix, Disney, DC, and Rocksteady. Hey, bet you didn't see this story coming or maybe you did considering the criticism the game's been getting. Looking I'm going to be honest with you, I only just got the game a few days back and I've been having a blast so far.

Now, before you get the pitchforks and torches out, I'm not going to lie, it does has it share of problems and I know what happens to our favorites Dark Knight in the later game (and I totally get why everyone is upset the way he went), but this isn't some sort of retaliation to all the hate.

Sure, I would preferred we'd get a Justice League game or a solo from one of the others heroes, or even another Batman game... just like everyone else. I'm 100% with you on that. And I also would have liked it that Kevin's final performance ended his career as Batman on a high note but that's not entirely Rocksteady's fault. If they knew Kevin wasn't going to be around after this game I'm sure they would've altered and delayed the game to give us a more proper way to end the hero. But Kevin had already finished his lines, it's the game the company's superiors want them to make, and we just have to remember at the end of the day, the people who made the game are trying to feed their families, no different from the rest of us.

I was just looking back with my old KH/Injustice crossover and thought... why not try to retell this story but if someone who could save the League instead of being forced to kill them. Someone like our favorite KH protagonist? ;)

So, if you're willing, I'd like to give this little What if...? scenario a shot and maybe we can provide the latest DC title and Kevin's final performance some justice.

I would warn you all of spoilers for the game but let's be honest. We checked out all the cutscenes the minute they appeared on YouTube so you know what's going down. So, let's dive on into the first chapter! Enjoy!


Chapter 1: Journey to the Unknown

Somewhere in the multiverse, vast realities could be seen throughout the Multiverse. Realities such as the Scarlet Witch discovering a certain young spikey hair child on an island far away from her home, "Time."

Realities where Sora was a founding member of Earth's Mightiest Heroes: The Avengers, or another where he was a founding member of the World's Greatest Heroes: The Justice League, "Space."

Sora, Riku, Kairi, and many other Keybladers from other worlds fighting against swarms of Heartless and Stormtroopers on Disney Castle, "Reality."

Sora being discovered by the mutant leader of the X-Men: Charles Xavier, leading him to become an X-Man or another he was recruited into the Green Lantern Corps, "It's more than a linear path. It's a prism of endless possibility, where a single choice can branch out into infinite realities, creating alternate worlds from the one you know."

Various more realities could be seen before revealing the one who watches all transpires in the Multiverse, "I am the Watcher. I am your guide through these vast new realities. Follow me and ponder the question, 'What If...?'"


The Watcher looked down to an Earth currently being invaded by a new threat to this strange new world, "In many worlds, Brainiac has been a major threat to Earth. A world that is protected under its greatest heroes: the Justice League! Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, and the Flash were all summoned by the alien invader for what they believed to be peaceful negotiations... but it was a lie."

With a wave of his hand, the scene changes to the city of tomorrow: Metropolis was being burned to the ground by a brainwashed League, "In over thirteen timelines, Brainiac sought to turn Earth into a new Colu, and took control of the majority of the League to attack the home they swore to protect. In one timeline, Amanda Waller: assembled a group of criminals as an expendable squad to counter the fallen heroes. Task Force X. The Suicide Squad. In some timelines, they are successful in killing the Justice League. In others, the Earth is lost."

"In this particular timeline, Task Force X was never assembled. Under the influence of Brainiac, Batman deduced a potential threat to New Colu," The Watcher shifted the time frame, to Batman grabbing Waller by the throat, choking the life out of her, while Rick Flag and the rest of her agents lay dead on the floor with looks of terror on their faces, "So, he tracked down and eliminated all the agents of A.R.G.U.S. before Waller could recruit the criminals from Arkham."

"This world would have terraformed and the human race lost had this crisis did not reach out to another universe. In his invasion in over thirteen universes, one unexpectedly opened a gateway to another," The Watcher revealed as he turned his gaze to another universe, "To a boy would be battling with another hero of a world of fiction... forever diverging to course of his timeline. A Keyblade known as... Sora."


When Sora came to, he found himself in what appeared to be the Final Word in the dark of the night. He looked around as he muttered to himself, "This place..."

He then sat up before observing his hands and body, it didn't look like he was fading anymore, in fact, he still looked whole and still as strong as ever. However, he did feel like he lost the Power of Waking. He couldn't leave this place so easily, "At least... I'm all here."

He then began to stand up as he looked around, maybe if he was lucky, he'd find someone else in here who knew how to get out. He called out, "Heeeey! Is anyone out there!"

When he didn't get a response, Sora called out again and listened for an answer, "HELLOOOO!?"

"Hey."

Sora gasped hearing the faint sound of someone answering him.

"Hey."

"Who's that?" Sora asked looking out.

Sora could finally make out someone coming from the distance. The mysterious figure asked, "Where are you?"

"OVER HERE!" Sora smiled and ran over to him expecting whoever it was to be friendly.

"I see you." The figure answered getting closer. However just as Sora got closer, he could see that it was a guy... wearing the same clothing pattern he wore as a toy back in Buzz and Woody's world. The outfit was based on a character from the same video game Rex played.

"Hey, aren't you..." Sora figured it was the same guy.

"You know me?" The guy was somewhat surprised.

Sora nodded, "Yeah, you're Yozora, right?"

Yozora was shocked that this strange boy knew his name when he never met him before in his life, "How do you know that? Who are you?"

"I'm Sora." Sora introduced himself, "And actually... there's something I've to have to ask you..."

Yozora quickly cut him off when he heard his name, "Sora? You're Sora?"

Now Sora was confused, "Huh? You know who I am?"

The video game character then stood on guard as he nodded, "Sure, I've heard of you."

Sora had a thousand questions going through his head, which he turned to the only man on the world with him for answers, "If you're here, then this can't be the real world, can't it? But wait, that girl, she told me about you. Maybe you are real after all."

Yozora stared at the Keyblade's Chosen for a moment before asking, "You done?" He then answers Sora's questions, "No, this isn't the real world, and I am here." However, what he said next really shocked the savior of Kingdom Hearts, "But this isn't what I really look like. How did you recognize me as Yozora?"

Sora's only response was, "Huh?'

"Why are you using Sora's name?!" He demanded.

Sora raised an eyebrow, "Because... I am Sora."

"If you are who you say you are, and it was fate that brought us here, then... my path is clear," Yozora replied as an advanced weapon appeared in one hand. He then aimed it at Sora as it appeared to be some kind of crossbow.

Sora backs up in shock, "What?!"

Suddenly, the Final World vanished and they appeared on Sora's Station of Awakening. Sora's image was one from his earlier days of wielding the Keyblade sleeping took up most of the space while the young images of Riku, Kairi, Donald, and Goofy were beside Sora's head. Then the arena changed again and warped into a large city at night. They stood on a building with the numbers 104 shining brightly, Sora tried to calm down Yozora, "Hey! Wait!"

Yozora refused to drop his weapon as he told Sora, "I accidentally wandered to this place, and went through some trials. Then, I was told to save Sora."

Now, Sora was even more confused, he was supposed to save him, he then asked, "Huh?! Then what's with the weapon?!"

In his other hand, he drew forth another weapon, a tech-like sword that extended out, as Yozora's eyes narrowed, "Time to end this."

Then he went into his battle stance. Seeing that Yozora won't back down. Sora summoned his Keyblade and stood in defense against Yozora. He fire lasers from his crossbow and Sora dashed at freeflow speed to dodge his fire.

"Stop! I don't want to fight you!" Sora exclaimed while dodging. Yozora looked unimpressed even as Sora charged at him ready to strike. Right as Sora swung his weapon, Yozora teleported away as then reappeared behind Sora. He barely had time to block Yozora's own swings with his own. He then vanished in the air even as the laser part of the blade continued attacking but he was able to block the attack as he looked up as Yozora landed on the ground, "I don't think 'save' means what you think it means!"

Then Sora shifted his Keyblade into Shooting Star pistols and he guided in circles around Yozora opening fire upon him. Yozora teleported away from the fire before appearing behind Sora again aiming his crossbow at him and pulled the trigger but instead of opening upon him, he contained Sora within an orb making him drop his Keyblade. His Keyblade was digitized and vanished as his Keyblade appeared infused with Yorza's weapon. Sora's eyes widened, "Oh C'mon!"

He then found him dodging magic water blasted at him but Yozora swung his weapon forcing Sora to dodge. However, his experience when Riku took the Keyblade from him, his real power came from his ties to his friends, so he thought back to his training with Phil and his time in the Chinese Army as drums began to beat in his hand. As Yozora swung again, Sora caught the hand that swung the weapon and kicked him back as he went into a kung-fu fighting stance.

"BE A MAN! We must be swift as a coursing river~"

Yozora back away in shock before charging in again. Sora dodged and blocked his own swings with his martial arts, even threw a few punches knocking him back. Sora stood his ground as Yozora came closer tired to counter-attack by firing wave upon wave of his Keyblade. Sora closed eyes as he never tired magic without his Keyblade but now was time as any to try it. He exclaimed, "REFLECT!"

"BE A MAN! With all the force of a great typhoon~"

A shield blocked all of the incoming Keyblade before raising his hand to make all the Keyblades vanish and the real deal appeared in his hand. Much to Yozora's shock before moving in to strike again.

"BE A MAN! With all the strength of a raging fire~"

Sora kept blocking all of Yozora's attacks with ease and skill as they kept going, then he jumps in the air to shoot fireballs from his Keyblade. "FIRE!"

Yozora dodges with these and jumps in the air, and kicked Sora back down to the ground, Sora rolls and quickly regains his stands as Yozora slam's his sword into Sora, but Sora blocked with his Keyblade. They both slashed and clashed like a true Keyblade Master, as they didn't back down from each other but Sora was hoping to wear him down.

"Mysterious as the dark side of... THE MOOOOOOON~"

Soon Sora rolled out of the way of a bigger slash attack, then he stood back up. Yozora was about to trap in again with his crossbow but Sora kicked the weapon out of his hand before cutting it down with his Keyblade.

"BE A MAN! We must be swift as a coursing river~"

"THUNDER!" Sora yelled holding his Keyblade up.

"BE A MAN! With all the force of a great typhoon~"

Yozora barely misses the lightning and then. He teleports and steals Sora's Keyblade, Sora smirks and quickly swipes Yozora's sword, they both land back down and start fighting and clashing at each other with their opposite weapons.

"BE A MAN! With all the strength of a raging fire~"

Soon Yozora gained the upper hand and slammed the Keyblade on Sora, but Sora butted and grunted as he held the sword while pinned against Yozora. Who was grinning while using Sora's Keyblade, but then, Sora's Keyblade vanished from his hands, Yozora's eyes widened as it appeared back in Sora's hand.

"Mysterious as the dark side of... THE MOOOOOOON~"

"YAH!" Sora then threw Yozora's weapon back at him, who caught it before he could be hit with his own weapon. They were about to engage when all of a sudden, a crack of purple appeared right between them. Sora barely had time to slide to a stop before pulling back as Yozora did the same, "Woah! What is that?!"

Yozora blinked before turning to Sora equally as shocked, "That's not you?"

"Nope. It's not you either?" He assumed. The video game character shook his head. Sora glanced at both his current opponent and the crack. While it seemed different from the ones he'd seen before, he knew a portal when he saw one. Where it led... he didn't know. For all he knew, it could lead him to a familiar world or a completely new one. Either way, this could be his way out of the Final World.

Still, there was one detail he was concerned about. Yozora. He usually never back down from a fight, but this was different from his usual battles. He didn't want to fight Yozora. Not really. He only fought because he wished to see his friends again, and Yozora's attempt to 'save' him wasn't going to stop him. He sighed before his Keyblade vanished in his hand, as he told Yozora, "Look. I don't get why we're here. I don't know why your definition of saving me is trying to kill me. I really don't want to fight you. I just wish to go home. Back to my friends. You're welcome to follow so long as you don't try to stab me in the back."

Yozora blinked in confusion before Sora ran straight for the portal, his opponent's eyes widened in shock, "Wait! Stop! You don't know where that goes!"

Sora didn't even slow his pace even as the video game character he discovered on Toy Box, he continued his path. Resummoning the Kingdom Key in his hand he aimed it right for the crack as light swirled the tip of his weapon before a beam of light shot from Keyblade and opened up the crack. He then dived right in right before Yozora could stop him, "NO!"

With a flash of purple light temporarily blinded him, his sight became clear as the field around him was restored to the sky-watery ground of the Final World. The open crack remained as he glanced into the only escape from the final world. Kneeling down, he couldn't help but notice the endless worlds inside. His eyes narrowed with determination, "I will save you, Sora... even if I must dive into the madness of whatever world your in..."


"...not world. A whole multiverse." The Watcher turned to the worlds currently being invaded by multiple versions of Brainiac, "Each with its own Earth. And fate of one universe... possibly more after this breach of the Final World... now lies in the hands of Sora. A Keyblade Wielder unlike any other had step forth beyond his realms of light and darkness to the multiverse..."

"Woooooooaaaaaaaah!" Sora fell from endless space as he passed by the alternate Earths. At the same time, he couldn't help but notice another strange set of individuals flying past him to another one of these identical worlds. He blinked at them and there odd choice of clothing, more particular the giant shark that looked like he could walk like a man...

...well, that seemed normal after hanging out with Donald and Goofy. The woman with white makeup and dyed hair noticed the teenage boy, "Oooooh! Hi strangely real anime boy!"

Blinking at that, not entirely sure what an anime was, couldn't help but wave back, "Hi clown lady and friends!"

No words could be said as the group of four fell to one identical world, while Sora's eyes widened as he was about to fall into another, "Oh! Here we go again!"

"In your world, Sora was an ordinary boy who would be the one to open the door to light. Saving the worlds on a regular basis and undoing the hurt caused by the Keyblade Master: Xehanort. Like the version you know: Sora abused the Power of Waking to save the girl he loves the most and would be trapped in a fictional world for over a year," The Watcher revealed as he looked down to the boy falling towards the Earth mentioned prior, "But in this timeline, Brainiacs invasion opened a breach in the Final World, causing Sora to end up on a world unlike any he's been to before. And little did he know, the fate of this world and possibly the multiverse would rest on his shoulders..."


"Aaaaaaaaaah! Oof!" Sora crashed landed on the hard floor. He groaned in pain, "Yep... That hurt..." He rolled over onto his back as he lied down to breath, "I will never complain falling from a mountain to land in nice soft snow ever again... as long as I live."

He then leapt onto his feet, and stretched out as he tried to shrug off his bruises, "That fight took a lot out of me..." He then smiled, "Nothing a little healing spell can't fix!"

He raised his finger, "Heal!"

Nothing happened. Blinking in shock. He glanced at his hand, "Ooookay... that's odd. Let's try that again." This time summoning the Keyblade again, he lifted it into the air, "HEAL!"

Still nothing, blinking in disbelief, before he slowly realized what had happened, "Uh-oh... guess that portal zapped my powers from me when I traveled through. I'm back to square one again..."

So, no Power of Waking. No healing magic. He lost most of his abilities and skills he learned from the last journey. He'd have to relearn everything all over again. Putting on a more positive attitude, he put away the Keyblade, "Ah! No biggy! I'll be back in top form in no time. Nothing a little experience can't fix."

He then looked around in the strange blocked off tunnel he was in, "Now... Where am I?"

He then noticed the only way out appeared to be a big metal door to his right, "Well, that looks like the only way forward." He walked up to it and gave it a small knock, "How do I get it open?"

He looked from side to side but found no doorknobs or buttons. Just a small crack on the floor, he gave it a slight pull but it would not go up. He tried again harder but to no avail. He then backed away from the door before smiling, "Alright. There's one trick I know that for sure to open it."

Summoning his Keyblade again, he aimed it precisely at the door. A magical Keyhole revealed itself to the Keyblade Wielder, as light swirled around the tip of his weapon and shot out beam of light which struck the Keyhole as he make an unlocking sound. The door slide upward revealing a new path. He pumped a fist, "Now we're talking!"

He then ran through it, and it wasn't long after until noticed a round cylinder room with a panel with the initials JL on it, "JL? What's that stand for?" He then looked up, he could see light from above, "This must be the way out. So, this must be an elevator." Walking over to the panel, he noticed similar buttons to what worlds he had visited before, "I knew it. Going up!"

He pushed the up button as the elevator slowly took up to the way out, "Alright... wonder what this world is like? I hope the people are friendly enough to someone like me. I'm sure I can make some knew friends that won't mind me crashing with them until I find a way back to my... friends..." As the light of the sun touched his face, his eyes widened at the five statues towering before him and the massive room surrounding him, "Woooooaaaaah! What is this place?!"

The place was ginormous! Everything was just so big! And those statues! There was one guy with a lightning bolt on his chest, a strong woman holding some kind of rope, a strong man in cape that looked like he could give Hercules a run for his money in a arm wrestling contest with a giant S symbol on his chest, another man dressed like a bat that did not look like he smiled too often (just like other grumpy friends he's know), and final a man holding up a ring like it was powerful as he dawned a lantern on his chest! They looked so cool! Like the superheroes comic book characters that Freddie showed him.

What kind of world was he in? Who were these people? Screw waiting for the elevator to stop! He wanted to check everything out! Jumping off the moving elevator, he landed on the floor below! This place was messy but decorative full of balloons and confetti... and yet... So... empty... He picked up a fallen piece of paper with a picture of the woman from the statue on it with big font on it, as Sora read out loud, "Justice Day."

Looking at the words below it he read, "Come celebrate the 5th anniversary when the World's Greatest Heroes came to together to form the Justice League. You get the privilege of seeing within the walls of the Hall of Justice and what our heroes accomplished over the years protecting our world. Meet your favorite heroes: Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, and the Flash as they recollect some of their greatest moments to you live for the first time. Fun for the whole family." Sora blinked in amazement, "Oh! I get it now! There was a big celebration for these guys and they wanted to connect with the people they saved over the years!"

He chuckled in amazement, "Kinda reminds me of Olympus Coliseum with Hercules!" He then wondered as he walked backwards to admire the Hall of Justice, "I wonder what they are like."

As he walked backwards, he accidentally bumped into something as someone spoke up, "Hey there." Sora was startled as he leapt forward and turned to see the man with the big S on his chest as he gave him a pleasant smile, "I'm Superman and I'm so glad you're visiting the Hall of Justice."

Easing up, he returned the smile with his own, "Oh, I'm Sora..." He went to approach him, "Listen... I've been separated from my friends and..."

"I come here every day to meet with my VERY best friends, the Justice League," Superman continued completely blowing off Sora's comment.

"Huh?" He blinked in confusion as he approached the man in the red and blue outfit.He touched the superhero but his hand went right through him. He blinked as he looked down and noticed the button he had unintentionally pressed, "Oh..." He frowned, "Guess you're not actually here..."

Guess that would explain he was much larger than the average man. It was only a hologram of the hero. The recording of Superman knelt down to Sora as he continued, "Say, now that YOU'RE here, I guess that makes us pals, too!"

Looking back up to the realistic recording, he blinked before chuckling. Guess that did. Even though he wasn't really here. He could feel like he could relate to this guy. Superman stated, "Wonder Woman thought it would be a good idea to open our doors and introduce ourselves. First off, I'm not from Metropolis." He then leaned in to Sora's ear and whispered, "I'm not even from EARTH."

Sora blinked in disbelief. Did Superman admit he was from another world? And he did so casually. This was supposed to be open to the public and yet... he didn't even look remotely worried about the world order. The recording continued, "When I was even younger than you, my world was dying. So my mom and dad sent me to a beautiful blue planet, far away."

His world was...? His world was gone? Were the Heartless responsible for it? Or did something else happen? Either way, he felt sorry for the guy. He knew what that was like, but at least the Islands were okay now but... was his world still trapped within the realm of darkness?

"Some real nice people raised me even though I came from another world," Superman's recording continued as he lifted off from the ground, "Even though I was... different. I... love this world. My friends." He chuckled, "And yes, even Batman."

Sora chuckled himself. The way he spoke of this Batman... kinda sounded like his own friendship with Riku when he tried to be a loner. The recording of his fellow other worlder continued, "Let's make a promise, everyone..." Sora lifted his head, knowing the importance of promises as Superman landed on the ground, "...we'll always try to help. Always give people a chance." As he said this, the woman flew down to his side, the man with the lightning bolt on his chest ran to Superman's other side, the man dress as a bat emerged from the smoke, and the man with the ring shine down behind him as Superman finished, "And we'll ALWAYS watch out for one another."

As the recording went back to the way it was, Sora couldn't help but nod, "I know we might not have official met before but... it's a promise! It's what I always do anyway!"

He hoped he got to meet this Superman and the Justice League. Maybe with their help, he could find a way to reach his friends and get home. He knew he'd do the same if their position were reversed. Sora looked around, "This place should be packed... guess this Justice Day came and gone, and I came here on closing hours..." He shrugged, "Oh well... guess I should check this world out and then contact my friends on the GummiPhone."

He pulled out said for and was about to dial up Riku before noticing all the stuff around him which he could interact with as he slowly smiled, "...but I guess that can wait until I check out every inch of this awesome club house!"

Switching it to camera app, he decided to take a selfie next to the hologram of Superman, "CHEESE!"

As he took the picture, he had a feeling like he was going to have the time of his life here!


Meanwhile on the Skull Ship, Brainiac noticing flashing on terminals, "What's this? Someone has managed to breach the way to this Earth from another universe using my technology?" Tapping on the computer, "Where did this take place?"

The computer replied with his voice, "The Hall of Justice."

Brainiac hummed in thought before pushing another button, "Green Lantern. Someone from another universe has entered the Hall of Justice. Bring them to me."

"Consider it done, Brainiac," John Stewart's voice replied through the coms., "For the glory of New Colu!"

Brainiac grinned to himself, with his Justice League and his new and improved army... nothing would stand his way. Not even anything in the multiverse. He and his counterparts would make sure of it...


Alright, first chapter is done!

Before I get on to preview for the next chapter, I will say this one thing about the Suicide Squad game. While I am enjoying it, I understand it's not for everyone... and it's not became of the Mature rating. So, I won't recommend it to you for those of you that don't want to buy the game for full price. If you want you can wait for a discount, wait for it to be playable for free on streaming, or just reserve it from your public library. That's fine. Just please, I don't want to hear any hate comments in this fanfic. Please. We're all here to enjoy ourselves so let's keep the reviews simple and clean... ;)

With that out of the way, to the preview. Sora explores the Hall of Justice: learning so much about this world's heroes. Deciding to see the world they defended over the years, he discovers that it's in the grim state. Monsters run rampant, heroes turned against the very world they swore to protect, and Sora's only on his reserves... Can he survive his first confrontation with the League? Will he be able to regain he power he lost? And what of Yozora? Stay tuned and find out!

I hope you enjoyed the chapter! Be sure to leave a review! (No hate please.) Also, be sure to leave a fav. and follow to show your support. See ya real soon!
