Heartless: A Male Reader x Kingdom Hearts Story

Chapter 6: Cloud

*Heartless Y/n POV*

I walked along the stone walls that rose on the right of me. Having landed not far away, the massive building held a massive stature, fitting of a place called Olympus Colosseum.

I walked through the massive stone pillars, coming into the open, dusty courtyard. I noticed a large building ahead of me, my destination I suppose.

"Large and imposing," I said, "Clearly compensating for something. Whatever, if a keyhole exists, that's where I'm going."

Walking through the door, I was greeted with a short man with goat legs, looking up at me as I approached.

"Hold on a second!" He yelled, as I tried to step by, "The arena is only for competitors, buddy! If you want in, you'll have to sign up."

"I don't know who you are, goat man," I growled, "But I'm looking for something. Step out of the way."

"No can do!" He said, spreading his arms to keep me from moving forward, "But if you want to get in the arena, you could always join the next tournament."

I looked down upon him and let out a massive sigh, "Fine, when's the match?"

"You're just in time," He said, leaping up on a stool to stand face to face with me, "Just let me get a name and you'll ready to go kick some butt! Maybe I'll even make you a hero if you're good enough. What's the name, kid?"

"Heartless Y/n."

I immediately walked past him and came out into the sunlight once again. This time, stands were built into the arena walls and the sand was cleared for a massive arena built in the floor. Looking across the way, I could see some blonde guy standing there, leaning against the wall. His massive sword leaned against the wall next to him, and he seemed to be watching me even as I turned away.

I began too look around the arena, scanning the walls and stands for any sign of the keyhole to this world. I have to find that thing before the other keyblade wielder, Sora, her name was, closed them all. They're my only way between worlds, and to the Realm of Darkness.

"Welcome, everyone!" The goat man's booming voice called, riling up the crowd, "We got an exciting new match for you all today! Returning fighter, Cloud Strife!"

The crowd began to cheer insanely loud, nearly making my ears bleed. This guy must be popular.

The blond guy walked out into the arena, ignoring the screams of the crowd. I watched him as he stared me down, brandishing his massive sword.

"And a newcomer, Heartless Y/n!"

The crowd was almost completely silenced, intimidated as I walked out onto the arena. Looking at the blonde man, I began to chuckle.

"Hmph," He grunted, "Don't bore me. I've places to be."

"I want to watch you bleed..."

"Huh?"

"I want to watch you die!"

*Third Person POV*

Heartless Y/n shot forward, his claws shining in the bright sun. Cloud was barely able to bring his sword up to defend himself, as Heartless Y/n's claws struck and sparked against the tough steel.
