Woo! Kingdom Hearts and Total Drama! Okay, so if you're reading this then I'm sure you have also read Kingdom Hearts: Cody's Story by TDDolphin. If you haven't, then ignore this fic and go read it! It's amazing, and a masterpiece! Anyway, I'm in a Kingdom Hearts and Total Drama mood (you can think that amazing fic for it). Now, I am not copying Kingdom Hearts: Cody's Story even though the main character of this fic is Cody. I don't want to copy it, I have some good ideas for this fic, and I want to make my own KH fic. I hope you all enjoy it :D"
I don't own Total Drama or Kingdom Hearts
Prologue
Darkness...nothing, but darkness shrouded his vision whenever he opened his eyes. He felt his hair flowing as a breeze blew pass him. It almost felt like he was falling. That wouldn't make sense though. The last thing he remembered was being on Hawaii...
Cody's eyes shot open as he looked around and noticed that he was indeed falling. This area...this place was very unfamiliar to him. He didn't recognize anything. There was nothing to recognize in the first place. This place was void of anything, and he kept falling. Was it a dream? A nightmare where he kept falling? Was he going to wake up before hitting the ground? Cody didn't know as he tried to swing his body forward so he wouldn't be upside down anymore.
After a couple of failed attempts, Cody finally righted himself before swinging his body around. This had to be a dream. Ever since the end of Total Drama World Tour, he was having weird dreams. Stars disappearing from the sky, little creatures, what looked like a figure in a black cloak, etc. He would always waken with sweat pouring down his body. He never understood why these dreams seemed to startle him so much, but he was beginning to worry.
A few more minutes later, Cody felt himself land on something solid; however, all he could see when he looked down was a black pit. He cautiously took a step forward only to gasp as a huge amount of birds appeared and flew by him. Suddenly, a bright light began to shine as the darkness under his feet evaporated, and in its place was a yellow green platform with a black haired girl holding an apple in the center of it while seven medium circles with the faces of different men in them surrounded her.
Cody looked at it in shock before he began to walk around to inspect the platform. As he walked around, he suddenly heard a disembodied voice speaking to him.
"So much to do, so little time..." Cody looked around in shock as he tried to spot whoever was speaking to him. As he looked, the voice continued, "Take your time. Don't be afraid. The door is still shut."
"Now step forward. Can you do it?"
Cody continued to look around in confusion before finally decided to speak, "What door? Why would I be afraid?" He began to walk around while waiting for the voice to appear again. He was totally lost, and he didn't understand why he was here. Even if this is just a dream, he wanted some answers.
He began to run back and forth on the platform in frustration as nothing happened. "Come on! Please speak to me! I need to know where I'm at. Why I'm here?!" Cody yelled only to stop as the platform began to shake as three pedestals rose from its surface. Cody watched in amazement as a shield, a wand, and a sword appeared above the pedestals.
"Power sleeps within you give it form...it will give you strength. Choose well," the voice said before going silent again. Cody looked at each pedestal in awe and confusion. So...he was suppose to choose one? Is that what the voice is trying to tell him? He slowly walked over to the sword, and he reached out to it. In all the RPG games that he played, he always chose to be a swordsman, whether a normal swordsman or a magic one. If he was going to have a weapon...he knew which one it would be.
He gently took hold of the sword and pulled it to his chest. He inspected the sword, and he was amazed at how well it was crafted. He flinched as the voice returned to speak to him, "The power of the warrior. Invincible courage. A sword of terrible destruction. Is this the power you seek?"
Cody was all for this until he heard the terrible destruction part. Did this mean that the sword could hold a dark power? Or could it mean that the sword is so powerful, it can cause a great amount of destruction? Cody stood there, and he continued to think before finally nodding his head to show that he chose to keep this weapon. Suddenly, it disappeared surprising Cody before the voice returned to ask him what he was willing to give up.
He turned around and stared at the two other weapons. A wand...and a shield. In video games, a shield would be the best item to choose to go along with his sword. That way, his swordsmen capability would increase greatly. A wand though...that could help him be a magic swordsman something that he was fond of in various RPGs. After some more thinking, he sighed before walking over to the wand. "Sorry wand, I'm sure you'd be a great combination to go with my sword, but I need more defense...especially with how small I am," Cody muttered as he took hold of the wand.
"The power of the mystic. Inner strength. A staff of wonder and ruin. Is this the power you wish to give up?" the voice questioned Cody who nodded his head. Once again, the weapon disappeared from his hands; however, this time the pedestals sank into the platform causing Cody to trip backwards and land on his back.
"Owww..." Cody moaned as he rubbed his back in pain only to gasp as the platform began to shatter under him. Once again, Cody found himself falling in an abyss of darkness. Cody began to desperately flail around in fear as he slowly fell. After a few moment of falling, Cody could see a purple light shining from beneath him so he quickly spun around and saw another platform beneath him. This platform had a beautiful woman wearing a blue dress with small circles containing a castle, a carriage, a horse, and more towers from the castle.
Cody found himself landing on the platform stomach first causing him to wince as he held his stomach. He slowly began to rise to his feet to get a better look around. As soon as stood up, the sword he chose earlier appeared in his hand catching him offguard in shock.
Cody began to do some test swings with it to get a good handle on using it. He was not that use to using weapons thanks to his scrawny body. He heard the voice mention that he had gained the power to fight, but he wasn't paying that much attention to it as he continued to focus on the sword as he swung it.
He did pay attention though when he heard a weird "Grrk" sound coming from in front of him. A small black creature rose from the platform. Cody's eyes widened as he realized this creature was the one from a previous dream he had.
"There will be times you have to fight. Keep your light burning strong."
Suddenly, two more creatures also rose from the platform and moved to surround Cody in a triangle formation. Cody looked all around him in shock before quickly grasping his sword even tighter in fear. He was almost certain this was a dream, but...he felt fear. A strong fear run through him. He couldn't let any of these things touch him. The first one that had appeared lunged at Cody who quickly ducked under it while bringing his sword up, impaling it through its stomach.
He brought the sword back down in a swiping arch sending the creature flying off the side of the platform. Cody rushed to the other two creatures, and he began sending multiple slashes at the other two creatures who were able to dodge them by flattening their bodies back down to the platform. Cody stopped swinging as he saw this and quickly jumped back to dodge the creatures as they jumped out and tried to slash him.
Cody felt himself begin to pant hard. "I really need to work out more if I'm getting this tired in a dream," Cody muttered under his breath before charging the creatures again and slashing through them causing them to disappear in a puff of darkness. Cody sighed in relief only to notice his sword disappear in his hand.
Cody watched in shock as the platform filled with darkness before noticing that he was sinking into it. "No! No!" Cody yelled in shock as he fully sunk away. His vision was complete darkness, and he couldn't tell up from down or left to right.
Cody began to struggle in the darkness as fear began to take over his body. He didn't know what to do. He was almost 100% positive this was a dream, but this feeling. This fear...it felt real. He brought his hand to his chest and closed his eyes as he took a deep breath. As he did this, a small light began to shine from his chest which began to fill the void that Cody was in until it was almost blinding.
A few moments later, Cody heard the chirping of birds, and the sound of waves as they moved back and forth. He looked around in shock as he realized that he was at the resort in Hawaii again. He felt a smile form on his face. He was back. He had finally woke up. He looked over and smiled at the sight of Gwen, Trent, and Bridgette standing around the pool. He ran down the pathway to his friends. He suddenly felt himself slip on some water causing him to fall on his face in front of his three friends.
He slowly pushed himself up while chuckling at his clumsiness. He looked up, but saw that the three weren't even paying attention to him which confused him. Gwen was writing in a notebook, Trent was strumming his guitar, and Bridgette was polishing her surfboard. Cody got back to his feet and walked over to Bridgette.
"Hey Bridgette, where is everyone else? I've never seen the resort this quiet ehehe," Cody questioned the surfer girl who didn't respond while continuing her polishing. Cody looked at her in confusion and was about to ask her again only to be cut off as she finally spoke.
"What's most important to you?" Bridgette asked Cody which caught him offguard at first before he put two and two together which he followed up with a sigh and a facepalm.
"I'm still in the dream huh? Okay...Friendship is most important to me," Cody answered Dream Bridgette who just stared at him before responding, "Hmph is friendship really that important?"
"Yes, friendship means everything to me. Without my friends...I don't know what I would do," Cody replied to her which resulted in Bridgette going back to polishing. Cody sighed as he looked at Gwen and Trent.
Making up his mind, he walked over to Gwen and faced her. Dream or not, he still felt awkward around her. It's been weeks since Gwen and Duncan revealed their relationship (not by choice), and, while it took him the rest of TDWT, he finally began to get over his feelings for her. She chose a delinquent who was willing to cheat on his girlfriend over him. That sent clear signs that he was never going to be more than a friend to her.
Cody sighed again before looking at Dream Gwen with a slight smile as she looked up at him and said, "What are you most afraid of?" Cody really began thinking about this one. He had many fears, but he wasn't completely sure on which one was his worst.
After a few moments of thinking, Cody finally settled on his biggest fear. "I guess...I'm afraid of being indecisive. I mean...if I can't make up my mind...how can I help my friends when they need my help?" Cody answered causing Dream Gwen to look at him for a moment before nodding and going back to writing in her book.
Cody nodded his head at her before turning to Dream Trent. Steeling his nerves, he walked over to the dream version of one of his best friends. Trent was probably tied with Noah for the title of his best friend.
"What do you want out of life?" Dream Trent questioned Cody who looked down and really began thinking about this one. Leave it to Trent to ask him the toughest question, heh. Cody sighed as he thought hard about this. If he was asked this question at the beginning of Total Drama Island, he would probably say something along the lines of 'To have a girlfriend.' But now...
"I guess...after all the turmoil of the show, the heartbreak of constantly losing my crush to other guys, and having to deal with Sierra's stalker antics...I really...I just want to be strong. So I can handle what the future holds in store for me," Cody answered Dream Trent as he took a deep breath before sitting down on the nearby bench to wait and see what the dream has in store for him next.
The day you open the door is getting nearer and nearer. Are you ready?" the disembodied voice reappeared after the short time it was gone.
The Sun began to shine brighter and brighter until Cody finally had to close his eyes and bring his arm up to cover them. He could feel the heat continue to hammer his body while his vision continued brighten before everything went dark. This caused Cody to open his eyes in alarm as he looked around to see if something was going to jump out and attack him.
It didn't take long for another platform to materialize beneath him. Cody saw a sleeping girl who was holding what looked to be a rose while thorns were covering the bottom. He began to walk around on the platform as his curiosity was beginning to bloom inside of him. There had to be a reason for everything that was occurring in this dream. The question is 'What is the reason?'
He saw a light shining from above. Walking towards it, he was slightly surprised as the voice returned.
"The closer you get to the light, the greater your shadow becomes," Cody heard the voice say which instantly caused him to turn around where he noticed that his shadow had indeed grown in size which caused him to grow suspicious of it.
Suddenly, his shadow rose from the ground and began growing even larger while it's form changed from looking like Cody's silhouette to a more monstrous form. Cody's eyes widened in fear as he began to back up in fear. The voice returned as this happened which Cody just barely heard thanks to his fear fueled mind.
"But don't be afraid. And don't forget...Your heart holds the greatest power of all." Cody gasped as the shadow finished changing shape and grown to its full height. He turned and began to run to the end of the platform, forgetting that the only thing surrounding them was a dark abyss. As he reached the end, he saw the dark abyss that encompassed the platform causing him to pause at the last second before slowly twisting his body around to look at the monster which stared down at him.
Cody nervously summoned the sword to his hand as he got into a battle position he had seen in one of his video games. This was not going to be an easy fight. Cody gulped before tightening his grip and glaring the monster down.
It stared down at him before bringing its fist up and smashing down right where Cody was previously standing. Thankfully, it was rather slow so Cody was able to see its punch coming and jump out of the way. He quickly rushed back to its fist and began slashing it as much as he could; however, he soon realized that it had opened a small pool of darkness beneath him which summoned some of those small creatures from earlier.
Cody quickly brought the sword up to block a lunge attack from one of them before bringing the sword back and then slicing forward, cutting it down to size. Sadly, this distracted him long enough for the other small creature to hit him from behind which caused him to let out a yelp of pain.
He pushed himself up and brought the sword up to slice through the creature as it jumped at him. After cutting, he looked back at the large monster that seemed to just be watching him. Cody narrowed his eyes before moving forward and readying his sword. The monster brought its hand down to slap Cody away, but something in Cody seemed to flare up at that exact moment. Not really understanding what this feeling could be, but seizing it, Cody felt his body move on its own as he found himself leaping over the monster's arm, landing in a crouched position, and then shooting forward and slicing through its arm.
The monster unleashed a loud howl of pain as its arm fell off. Cody stared in shock at what he just did before shaking his head clear and taking the opening that it was giving him by leaping onto its remaining hand and running up its arm to its head.
Reaching the top, Cody leaped up and brought his sword down with as much force as he could, impaling its head. After impaling it, Cody found himself falling back to the platform as it stumbled around in pain causing him to groan until noticing the monster fall to its knees...and then falling towards Cody.
The last thing Cody saw was the monster falling on top of him and engulfing him in darkness. The last thing Cody heard was...
"Geez Cody, sleeping out on the beach is not great for your skin."
Okay! End of prologue! Now the pairing is Cody/Harem (I will put the girls in the harem in the next chapter...or at least three of them). I have the harem finished so I'm sorry, but I'm not going to take requests. Now, I'm also going to publish the next chapter at the same as this so you all can have something to read ^^. I am probably going to focus on this for a bit so I'm sorry for everyone who is waiting on me to update other fics, but...I am really in a huge Kingdom Hearts mood and I have so many plans for this fic...I really want to do this.
I will say that after this fic ends, there will be more fics (I'm covering KH, COM, II, and III (As I'm sure it'll be out by the time I reach it)) so be looking forward to them.
I really hope you all like this fic though. Also, I am planning on drawing what Cody will look like in the fic sometime soon to act as the cover so...be looking forward to it :D
