[ drabble ] KH/Blazblue crossover snippet
An old snippet I did on Plurk a while back, based off of the possibility of a Kingdom Hearts!AU event for dramadramaduck and a product of my own boredom. IT'S SAD HOW WELL I CAN MAKE THIS BLEND IN. /s-started with Crossover!AU KH fic back in the day, orz
This world wasn't too different from some of the others that Sora had seen, but it seemed more... brutal, maybe?
Yeah. That was probably the best word for it.
Even though he didn't think Ragna was so bad, there were still things that he was shocked to see, especially considering the way that Ragna dealt with things. But as he stood there, wide-eyed in shock as the girl with the armor had impaled Ragna multiple times, he was completely frozen. He tried willing his body to move forward, to try and summon the Keyblade to his hands to help one of his newfound friends, but it was like someone had used a Stopga spell on him - it was impossible. It wasn't until he heard the elevator doors open behind that him that he was able to break out of this stupor.
"Sora!" Noel was dashing forward, Bolverk drawn as she stopped next to the teen. "...wh- what's going on over there?!"
He finally found the means to speak, shaking his head. "I ... I don't know, but we gotta help him! Come on, Noel!"
She didn't say anything, only nodding as the two watched in horror while v-13 began to fall with Ragna in her arms. The two took a running leap into the Cauldron, holding out arms to a dazed Ragna. Whether it was from blood loss or something else, his eyes were glazed over- not good.
Noel started yelling to him, tears shining in her eyes, as if a far-off memory had resurfaced. "Don't give up! Grab my hand!!"
Ragna blinked once, wearily. His eyes were still glazed over, but he somehow understood, because he grabbed her hand.
Sora started to try and encourage him as well - it was worth a shot. Besides, he just couldn't give up, not here, not now. "Ragna! She's right, you can't give up yet! Come on, we've got you!"
Surprisingly, even though Ragna constantly called him a "pest", he didn't say anything, merely opting to grab Sora's hand with his other. The two strained to pull Ragna up, but Sora could see .... was v-13 crying?
To be honest, he couldn't blame her for doing part of what she did - she was only following what her own heart was saying, after all. But... at the same time, he knew that sometimes it was impossible to save everyone. He learned that the hard way.
So as Noel was scolding Ragna when he woke up, Sora was standing back, wiping his eyes with the back of his glove. "...kinda wish things didn't have to turn out like this."
"You're a fool for thinking that you could change everything." Sora whipped around, the scent of roses emanating from behind him.
"Rachel..."
"But I don't blame you for wanting a happy ending," she continued, with a snort. "That's what children are apt to believe, anyway."
