After a full year of training from Yen Sid, Kairi is finally ready to fight by Sora and Riku's side. But after an unexpected and unexplained event, she suddenly finds herself stranded in a strange, yet colorful world filled with talking ponies. And finds herself morphed into their image as well.
While she continues to explore this new world, dark forces are coming to threaten the peace and tranquility of this little world. Can she find the strength to protect her new friends? Or will the darkness swallow them all?
Only time will tell.

Current cover is only temporary for now.
With the permission of TobyandMavisforever, I'll loosely be following their timeline because I feel the story will make more sense rather than in the shows episodic format.
I give thanks to Toby for giving me permission to use their timeline in my story.
ooooh you have my undivided attention with this.
5963525
Cool! I'll try not to disappoint.
Good!
Ooooh, now this is something worth reading.
5964923
Glad you like it.
kingdom hearts and mlp the best crossover in the universe i love this instead of sora you have kairi or princess kairi in the kingdom hearts universe she know for now.
hmmm
*squints at Rainbow and her keyblade, then ponders about Rainbow, then remembers Rainbow brags and showboats....*
*Mental string snaps*
OH MY GOD everyone is going to be a keyblade wielder!
5967789
I have no idea at this point yet if they all will. I'm having a hard time seeing Fluttershy fighting. Nothing negative on her part of course, she's my favorite out of the six. I just think she's just too kind to actually do so.
5967863
I think she's capable of being a very scary fighter, just when her friends are in danger. Such as facing her dragon fear when the dragon hurts rainbow.
Additionally she shares my favorite spot with Luna (just can't choose between the two)
5967878
You have a pretty good point there. In any case, I hope I've been portraying the characters well enough in the extra bits so far.
5966575
I figured everybody has done Sora going to Equestria, or the ponies meeting him in some odd way. I figured, why not focus on someone else, and at least look a little original. I even searched through what I could find here on the site, but I don't think I saw a single Kingdom Hearts crossover the showed Kairi as the main character. It sounded like a good idea too, so I went for it. I'm glad you like the story so far.
5967878 or this dark pony is other that Ansem, the seeker of darkness, or Xemnas the Xehanort's nobody
5968845
Maybe. Or this dark pony might be somepony new. Who knows! XD
I like this story so far hope to read more soon
5969199
Thanks, I'm glad you're enjoying it so far.
5969330 your welcome
This was really good and I usually don't care for crossovers...Well done!
6231846
Thanks, I'm glad you're enjoying the story.
This was really good! I especially like the first half of this chapter with Kairi's dream and Luna. Please keep up the great work!
6420578
You know, for a little while I did debate whether I should have Kairi in a Dive to the Heart, but it just seemed to fit with the story so far. So I threw caution to the wind, and left it in there. I'm glad you liked the scene.
Kairi has never been the center of a story, usually Sora or Riku who plays the main protagonist, so points to you for changing it up. Now we get to see how our newest keyblade wielder handles situations and how she can deal with Heartless and traversing the worlds out there.
For a first chapter, we are given a rather generous amount of information, to comprehend. Kairi seems to go through a lot just by meeting Twilight, on the day of the Summer Sun Celebration no less. I have to wonder if Luna will still control Heartless after this through some lingering remnant of Nightmare's powers.
You have kept to the script without radical changes that makes it flow without any hindrances here. So far, so good. Now to read the rest.
6421415
On this site at least, I never found any crossover Kingdom Hearts stories that featured Kairi as the main protagonist, and I really do believe there is room for her to grow as well. It made me sad that there weren't any stories of her yet, so I decided to pull the trigger myself.
As to the generous amount of information, I really like delving into the details sometimes, though I do realize this is a double edged sword. And I felt the Summer Sun Celebration to be a good start for Kairi's adventures in Equestria. As to Luna being able to command Heartless, I really haven't decided yet. As a teaser to a future chapter, I am going to include the Luna Eclipsed episode, so I guess we'll see about the Heartless angle then.
As for keeping to the script, I didn't feel there needed any real radical changes to it unless Kairi said something. At which point, I would just remember how each of the girls act, and draw upon that to give her a reply.
6420997 If you don't mind me asking, will you involve Namine at some point? I mean, according to where in the timeline you're doing this, she and Kairi are 'together'.
6421819
I have no clue at this point in time. Namine is an interesting character for sure, but I haven't got a clue as to how I would rope her in. And yeah, the timeline is after Yen Sid has trained Kairi for a full year after the events of Kingdom Hearts: 3D
Surprised Pinkie didn't go, evil beware green lantern's light! after that whole initiation process. Now, I've played the games but I've never seen an actual way to initiate a right to hold a keyblade as such.
So, how exactly does Celestia know anything about the keyblade? She didn't seemed phased about Kairi's arrival and that means she has knowledge about the Heartless.
6422083
It was something I came up with that made more sense to me than just having someone hold their keyblade, and letting the one receiving their own grasp the handle in silence. In Birth by Sleep, it was Tera who did such a thing with Riku, and said a few words to him. Here, I'm expanding on that, and making it initiation. Since Yen Sid would know about the events that played out in Birth by Sleep, I believe he would have instructed Kairi to do this if she ever met worthy keyblade wielders. As for the green lantern joke you made, I honestly wasn't thinking about comedy at the time, but that sounds funny. XD
As for Celestia knowing about the keyblade, I shall refer you to that King Triton having such knowledge in the first Kingdom Hearts game. As far as I can tell, it hasn't been revealed yet. And well, Celestia is a thousand years old. I'd be more surprised if she didn't know about keyblades.
6422000 Well...all I know is Namine is with her, maybe she could be an extra helper when necessary...or have Kairi split suddenly and have the Mane Six freak out...I just wanna see that...
Few things, just gonna throw it out there. While I like having the elements as wielders, I'm not to sure about Rainbow Dash. She's a competent pony, don't get me wrong. It's her brashness and tendency to jump into action that makes me worry. Keyblades do chose powerful hearts but I wonder if this new power could change her in the foreseeable future?
Also, this world still has a keyhole that needs to be sealed. Perhaps a certain sun princess knows where it is. So, why hasn't she told Kairi to go and lock it up yet?
Even more Heartless! So, I wonder if ponies will begin to draw the lines with the sudden arrival of Kairi and the creatures of darkness suddenly popping up around Equestria. I don't doubt they'll start appearing in other places besides Ponyville but where's the head Heartless at? What's it gonna look like? I must know.
6425178
That's actually how I imagined Rainbow Dash to be right off the bat. And while having a keyblade might change her in the foreseeable future, I think her being the Element of Loyalty will help her flying the positive path.
As for the keyhole, and if Celestia knows about it; right now the worlds keyhole plays a far more important key-role in my mind right now.
6425224
Hmm, there's something in this that has potential.... Maybe......
6422000 Namine has fully fused with Kairi, so she is for all intents and purposes just a memory now.
...a memory
...
...
...
...
6440664
You have a point, but I can't help but wonder what would happen if Kairi lost her heart again somehow.
God damn it, now I can't look at the Dive to Heart segments the same anymore since the Foretellers where revealed...
Kinda feel like they are the ones speaking, especially when Luna called them... well, Them, considering there's 5 of them (6 in actuality, but the 6th's a secret (Not really)).
6552440
I can assure you that the foretellers are not the ones talking to Kairi. Luna is just being vague as to who is guiding Kairi. If you read through the dialogue again, I'm sure you can come to another conclusion as to who it is. I tried my best to be as vague, as well as obvious as to who it is.
A few grammatical errors here and there, but an otherwise well written first chapter.
6422237 Heck, I wouldn't be surprised if a little down the road that Celestia and Lune wield their own Keyblades.
Honestly, I can't find a single thing wrong with this chapter, or the story for that matter. It all seems pretty pitch perfect thus far. Admittedly, I WOULD like to see some of the other members of the Mane Six (probably excluding Fluttershy) learn to use a Keyblade, but its probably for the best that you stick to the small group you have right now. Then once they've mastered everything Kairi has to teach them, they can teach other ponies what they've learned.
6590366
I'm glad you're enjoying the story so far. I would say more, but I'm afraid of spoiling things. And I don't like leaking spoilers. lol
more!
sorry
6616282
HaHAH! That cracked a smile on my face! Don't you worry, there will be another chapter....soonish.
I didn't expect Kairi to do that...
Great chapter!
6619492
Holy cow, I don't know many people who can read as fast as you. Color me impressed dude.
6619521 I'm a speedy reader.
I really loved the chapter!
6619525
I'm glad you enjoyed it.
6619531 Can't wait to see what you write next!
Tetsuya Kintame?
Just thought I'd notify you that you made the top ten on the front page for a while.
Keep up the good work!
6619655
Are you serious? Because I think I must have missed it by minutes.
Great chapter and I got to say that it's funny that Kairi learned how to use the keyblade glider before Sora and Riku....... Does that mean she's better at using a keyblade then the two boys who had about a few years of training with their keyblade -la gasp!!!!- (........ ok I really wanted to do that :P)
6620056 It could be that being a Princess of Heart as well helps her be more adapt at wielding a weapon that is powered by the heart.
