Okay, I know I said I would write a sequel to Undercover but this is an excellent idea and I don't want to forget it! So here we go! Okay, here's a summary or more like a thing of what the sotry's gonna start out as. (Isn't that a summary?) Once again, it's a Riku-centric story. This is after Kingdom Hearts 2 just as they get the letter. Well, the title said this but you know, it'll be a combonation of FFVII and Kingdom Hearts revealing why Riku and Sephiroth look so similar. (Not that this is the reson they do. This is just something I made up.) Chapter I: The Letter From The King Sora, Riku, Kairi, First of all, a congradulations is in order. You guys did a great job with defeating the Organization. We plan on throwing a party at Radiant Garden but it'll have to be postponned. As you know, we left The World That Never Was but Maleficent and Pete were still there and they have taken control over the heartless. Good news, bad news. The good news is that there are no more Nobodies anymore, apart from Roxas and Namine. Bad news, we need your help again. Meet me at Radiant Garden. We'll talk more when you guys get there. I am yours most sincerely, King Mickey Sora lowered the paper, sighing. To his right stood his best friend Riku, looking more at the ground than the paper as Sora read it outloud. To his left was the girl he loved, Kairi who was looking at Sora with questioning eyes. Riku walked back over to the tree and sat down on it again. "Why didn't we think of them before we left?" Sora shrugged. "I dunno. Well, they kinda saved us from battling a tonne of heartless." "That's right," Kairi added, nodding her head. "We do owe them a little bit." "We don't owe them anything," Riku snapped. Sora turned away form them, looking at Kairi. They both knew why Riku had this attitude toward Maleficent. She was the one who got him involved in the darkness in the first place. She's the reason why his life is so twisted. Sora looked at the paper again. "Wait, we're supposed to meet the King there. So how are we going to get there?" He looked around, hoping something would happen because he said it. "Well, we have to think of something, don't we?" Riku said and Kairi looked at them with a mother-like glare. "What?" they both asked at the same time. Kairi stared at them. "You know perfectly well what. You guys haven't been home at all. Don't you think your family misses you?" Riku shook his head. "No. The islands came back and I didn't return so my family assumes that I'm dead." Sora and Kairi looked at him. "How do you know that?" Sora asked, astounded. "I did a lot more than look after you while you were asleep, Sora," was all that Riku said as a reply. "Like what?" Sora asked, tyring to find out again. This was his second attempt. The first time he asked, Riku said that it was none of his business. "I don't really want to relive that moment in my life just so you can know, Sora," Riku said, coldly. Sora caught the hint and looked over at Kairi, wondering if she had any ideas. "Well, his magesty wouldn't leave us here without a-" Kairi stared and a huge gang came form the water. A large wave rose and just grazed the top of the island. "-ship?" she finished and laughed. The two boys laughed also. A Gummi Ship had landed in the water just as she was talking. It was so close that they could walk up and touch it. Riku walked up to it and noticed a piece of paper taped on it. "I forgot you guys need transportation. Mickey." He read from the paper. The three friends laughed and climbed inside. Sora took the controls while Riku was co-pilot and Kairi just a passenger. "You sure you know how to fly this, Sora?" Riku asked, a little nervous. Sora nodded. "Of course I do," he said confidently and pressed a button. A laser fired, hitting a tree that went flying. The other two looked at him, wide-eyed. "Ha ha. Wrong button," he said and pressed the correct button. The ship rose into the air and they sped off towards Radiant Garden. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Chapter II: Angels, Warriors and Darkness They landed on Radiant Garden, stepping out of the ship and looking around. The place looked that same as ever. They started to wlak when a group of soldier heartless appeared in front of them. They were about to destroy them when the town's defense mechanism destroyed them all with one blast. "Whoa." Way to keep it simple, Sora. They walked to Merlin's house and Sora pushed open the door. "Get outta here, ya bunch of heartless scum!" Cid's voice came and Sora felt something hard and metallic hit his head. "Oh, it's Sora!" Aerith shouted and ran over to him. "Are you okay?" she asked, sounding extremely worried. "Y-yeah. I'm fine," Sora replied weakly. Behind him, Riku and Kairi were trying not to laugh. They steppped inside. "Hey guys," Sora said giving a slight wave to everyone. Cid Highwind was working on the computor now, after hitting Sora in the head with a pole. Aerith Gainsborough was now standing beside Yuffie Kisaragi who was waving back. Squall Leonhart (Who prefered to be called Leon) was beside Cid and Cloud Strife was leaning against the wall, eyes closed. Riku and Kairi gave everyone a once over, having not seen them in a while. Well, Riku had never met any of them before. His eyes lingered on Cloud last of all and Cloud looked up at him, opening his eyes. They held gaze for a while before Riku broke away. Sora cut in. "So, have you guys seen the King?" "He's over at Ansem's study. You should head over there," Leon said and turned back to Cid's computor. Sora nodded and guided Riku and Kairi outside. They walked toward the study, encountering no heartless. Riku walked in first this time, opening the door. "Your magesty?" he called inside as the three walked inside the study. "Over here," A squeeky mouse voice called. They looked over to see the King of the Worlds bent over a book. "Hey fellas! I'm glad to see you made it alright." Sora nodded. "Yeah. No worries," he said, confidently. Riku rolled his eyes. "Anyway, why did you want us to come here first, Mickey?" he asked not caring about sounding formal. Sora and Kairi looked at him. As far as they knew, no one called the King by only his first name but they didn't fully know the relationship Riku and Mickey had entered during their time in the Realm of Darkness. Mickey looked up. "Well, mainly because I wanted to talk to each of you. Seperately." The three friends looked at each other before looking back at the King. "Don't worry. You guys aren't in trouble." He added, judging by the look on their faces. Riku and Kairi waited as Mickey talked to Sora first. The keybalde mastre wakled out of the room, giving a slight nod to Riku before Riku walked inside. He walked in and sat in the chair, across from Mickey. "I'm not telling them," Riku said right away, knowing why Mickey was going to talk to them. "Why not? They're your friends, Riku. You have to start trusting that they can handle what you've got to tell them," Mickey comforted. Riku groaned, putting his head in his hands. "How would I tell them? How am I supposed to tell Sora that I actually did enjoy spending time in the darkness? How am I to tell him about what I did to save him and most importantly, how am I to tell him that he is my father?" Mickey sighed, looking at him. "You'll find a way. Why don't you tell them now? It'd be better to get it over with sooner." Riku nodded and stepped outside the study, looking at the ground. Kairi made to go see Mickey but Riku stopped her. "I...I have to tell you something. Both of you," he said, not looking at either of them. Before he could say another word, a crash came form outside and they ran towards the noise. "What is that?" Sora asked in wonder. A huge heartless, resembling a giant boar had landed on the ground. Apparantly, the town's defense mechanism wasn't strong enough to kill it. Sora summoned his Ultima Weapon, Riku the Way to the Dawn and Kairi's new keyblade, Oathmaker. Across from them, Cloud, Leon and Yuffie were there. Together they managed to bring down the heartless before it destroyed any homes. Leon and Yuffie walked back to Merlin's while Cloud hung back. The three keybladers dismissed thier keyblades and walked over to him. Cloud turned to them. "You remind me of someone," he said to Riku. The keyblader of darkness gave him a confused look. "Really? You kinda look familiar too, now that I think on it." Cloud walked over, sword still in his hand. Riku took a step back, cautiously. Cloud brought his sword down, cutting Riku's bandage on his right arm. The other two let out a gasp. Riku's right arm had green strands of something running up it and finally disppearing near his elbow. He glared at Cloud who sheathed his sword. "Geostigma," Cloud muttered to himself. Riku summoned his keyblade. "Big deal," he said and brought his own weapon down, cutting off Cloud's left sleve. He had the same thing. "You have it too." He dismissed the Way to the Dawn. Cloud nodded. "Yes but why do you have it? Only those who-" he stopped sudennly and looked into Riku's eyes. "No way," he said actually showing some fear. "You can't be his-?" Riku nodded and walked away, not wanting to finish his statement. Sora and Kairi ran up form behind him. "Riku, what was he talking about? And what exactly is that?" Sora asked. Riku didn't answer for a bit. A silence fell. "This is why the King wanted to talk to me." Sora started to get frsutrated. Trying to get information out of Riku was like trying to squeeze blood out of a turnip. "But what is it?" he asked again. Riku stopped and looked out at Radiant Garden. "Sora. You asked me what I was doing while you slept. Well, this is part of it." He took a deep breath and Sora and Kairi listened hard. "It's called Geostigma. It only appears on a person when they have something called Jenova's cells inside them. Jenova is an alien from a world called Gaia. It's the world that Cloud is from which is why he has it too." "But you've lived on Destiny Island forever," Sora interupted. "I know," Riku replied. "I got it from my father." This sentence disturbed Sora since Riku had never known his father. The man his mother is with isn't related to him. He's just a step-dad. "My true father. See, when you were sleeping, I decided to try and find my father since I was told that he died and I didn't believe it." There was a pause. "I found him but it wasn't who I expected." Sora cuoldn't contain himself any longer. "Who was it?" he asked, eagerly. Riku sighed and backed up from him. "Sora, I had no idea that I was this. I hope you won't think I'm going back." Sora was confused. Riku, go back? He meant back to darkness but what is he talking about. Riku closed his eyes and took a deep breath. There was a flash of light and Sora and Kairi threw up their arms to block their eyes. When the light stopped they looked up. Sora was so shocked he felt like he going to faint. Kairi felt the same. Riku still looked the same. Well, almost. His eyes had changed. They almost glowed with magic and his pupils were like slits. But most noticeable of all was that he had something coming out of his back. It was ebony and almost three-quarters his hieght. It was a wing.
Wow! I don't know if anyone else has read this story. But it is very very clever and creative. Is there more to it? Like a continuation?
That..................................was.........................................awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!write......more...........please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm all for imagination and such, however this is a bit of a stretch. Not that anything else in I've seen isn't. I just find the crossovers from FF into KH to be a bit forced. Even in the games it bugged me ever so slightly. Nicely written. Room for improvement and an interesting storyline. I'll have to keep up.
