3''A Match Made In Hell'' is a ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'' fanfiction written by Creator/{{Ri2}}, the individual responsible for ''Fanfic/LatiasJourney'' and ''Fanfic/BraveNewWorld'', about the wacky hijinks during the marriage of [[CrackPairing Pete and Maleficent]]...
4
5The story begins with the epilogue of ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsII'', with Sora, Kairi, and Riku (who, by the way, have to share their minds and bodies with Roxas, Namine, and Xehanort's Heartless, respectively) getting a letter from King Mickey which asks them to come to his castle to act as a representative of a newly-formed confederation of worlds...
6
7But the letter was a fake. It was a trick to get them to let the world barrier down so Maleficent could blackmail the trio into attending her wedding.
8
9Contains, among other things:
10
11* Mickey Mouse trying to set up an alliance of worlds with Sora's help.
12* Pete and Xenahort competing for the right to be Maleficant's groom.
13* [[MeanwhileBackAtThe Back at Destiny Islands,]] Tidus, Wakka, Chapau, Yuna, Rikku, and Paine fight Yiazmat, alien invaders and a giant robot toilet.
14* A ridiculously long Mecha fight with the cast of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'' dressed as ''Franchise/PowerRangers''.

17----
18!!Tropes present in this work include:
19* TheAlliance: King Mickey's plan is to gather together some of the guests at the wedding to organise a coalition of heroes to oppose Maleficent. [[spoiler: Unfortunately, it falls apart because Simba is too suspicious of humans to participate, Leon is in the middle of a HeroicBSOD over his inability to defend his world, Zeus is more interested in having sex with anything that moves and Oberon refuses to join unless Mickey hands over every fairy in the universe to him. And then goes nuts and stuff.]]
20* AmazonChaser: Shere Khan sees Tifa run through her LimitBreak and gets aroused. [[spoiler: Later he explains in detail how attractive a woman of her fighting caliber is to someone like him.]]
21* AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever: In this case it's gigantic [[HarmlessVillain harmless bad guys]], gigantic animal sidekicks and a gigantic [[spoiler: WesternAnimation/DarkwingDuck]].
22* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: For Pete and Maleficent. Most notably when [[spoiler: it's revealed Maleficent used magic on the wedding ring she gave Pete to make it so he wouldn't be harmed by any spell meant to kill him. Even though she also put a spell on it that made it so if she died, he would die, Pete is immensely touched by this.]] There was also [[spoiler: when Maleficent's world was being rebuilt, Pete was able to guilt trip her into adding a memorial for all the good guys and bad guys that died when Oberon crashed the wedding.]]
23* BigGood: King Mickey is pulling together an alliance of good guys to oppose Maleficent and [[spoiler: even when that fails]] he is still deferred to by the Destiny Island trio. [[spoiler: It turns out that there is a trio of Keyblade Masters of far greater power and standing, but they have restrictions on when they can take direct action.]]
24* BigBad: [[spoiler: Oberon is the main threat to the heroes in the story, but Satan is revealed to have been TheManBehindTheMan responsible for the madness that turned Oberon evil in the first place.]]
25%%* BreakTheHaughty: Uncle Scrooge does it to Flintheart Glomgold.
26%%* CatFight: Maleficent and Peg have a tussle at the Bachelorette Party, due to Peg being Pete's ex.
27* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Xion, [[spoiler: [[RetGone but she's canonically accounted for, anyway...]]]] Although this is forgivable because the character didn't exist when the story began....Er...didn't ''not'' exist. Or is it didn't not un-exist? Sheesh, it's so hard to get the grammar right when talking about nobodies.
28* CameBackWrong: [[spoiler: Aerith is revived as a half-demon by Satan, though Merlin returns her to (mostly) normal by the end.]]
29%%* ConflictKiller: [[spoiler: [[WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}} Oberon]].]]
30* CrackFic: The (mostly) serious, well written kind, despite what you may think otherwise because it has a lot of plotting, serious moments, and character development mixed in with all the craziness.
31* CloudCuckooLander: In this fic, nothing that Selphie says or does makes any sense at all..
32* TheCoatsAreOff: Shere Khan's [[spoiler:removal of his personal items during the fight against the Unseelie. Evey single one of them, down to the '''tie''' and '''watch''' are [[{{Manga/Naruto}} ridiculously weighted]].]]
33* DeusExMachina:[[spoiler: Aerith is returned to her original self by Merlin rubbing the "666" mark off with spit. Granted, it was [[AWizardDidIt "Wizard Spit"]], but still...]]
34* DirtyOldMan: Flintheart Glomgold and Zeus (technically) are old, horny, and unpleasant.
35* DoorStopper: Like most of Creator/Ri2's fanfics, this one is the length of a novel.
36* DyingMomentOfAwesome: [[spoiler:Pete is stabbed through the chest by [[WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}} Oberon]] and is bleeding out. He still manages to grip his mace, grab hold of Oberon to keep him from moving, and hit him so hard the ColdIron mace he was using ''shatters'', piercing Oberon with shrapnel and ''flesh-eating Anti-Fae'' '''''nanobots''''' made by ''David Xanatos'', who made the weapon in question. Then he dies.]]
37* EnemyMine: The second half of the story is a huge battle against the minions of [[spoiler: Oberon]] which forces heroes and villains to team up.
38* EvenEvilHasStandards: [[spoiler: [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyXII Vayne]] is disturbed enough by what he sees at Pete's bachelor party to switch sides in the epilogue]].
39* EvilCannotComprehendGood: [[spoiler: Although he believes he could beat Oberon, Yen Sid willingly gives up all of his power and sends all of his magic and knowledge away to avoid damaging the universe in the battle. Oberon can't understand why he'd give up his power; Yen Sid explains:]] "[[Franchise/StarWars As an old friend of mine once said,]] if you strike me down I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine."
40* EvilPlan: Maleficent wants all her enemies to present at her wedding so she can show off the magic and technology she's going to use when she conquers them. [[spoiler: The plot is actually her dad's plan to sow the seeds of keyblade users and start another keyblade war. He brainwashed her into the 'wedding show of force' idea.]]
41* ExternalRetcon: Tons of them, especially towards the end; no one's canon is safe from changes made from the fallout of the wedding.
42%%%* TheFairFolk: Oberon.
43%%** And Maleficent, although in this fic she's also half demon.
44* FateWorseThanDeath: [[spoiler: Oberon is cast into the darkness to be tormented by his insane mother Queen Mab shortly after learning that Avalon was razed and his children either killed or kidnapped by demons from hell.]]
45%%%%%* GoodAngelBadAngel: Done with Satan, no less!
46* HeelFaceTurn: A small number of the villains do this in the end [[spoiler:just because of how gross Satan's story about how he consumed '''and''' fucked with Oberon was, thinking it ''definitely'' wasn't worth being a villain if they were to hang out with him.]]
47* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: Yen Sid gives up all his power and knowledge to prevent Oberon from getting it or damaging the universe in a battle with him. This leaves him helpless before a very mad fae lord.]]
48%%** Also [[spoiler: Pete, but he gets better]].
49%%*** [[spoiler: Roxas too, but he also gets better]].
50* HolyHandGrenade: [[spoiler: Oberon]] uses a holy item to banish Satan and his minions from the scene of the wedding. [[spoiler: It doesn't last.]]
51* IAmNotLeftHanded: [[spoiler: Satan only needs a quarter of his power to beat Oberon even after the latter consumes almost all of the magic in the galaxy. He even references ''Anime/DragonBallZ'' when he does it.]]
52* IAmNotWeasel: Pete always has to correct everyone that [[CatsAreMean he is a cat.]] He also has to correct everyone that he is not overweight, [[IAmBigBoned he's just big-boned.]]
53%%* InfoDump: Creator/Ri2 really seems to want to tell us about Hell.
54* InterspeciesRomance: Pete and Maleficent are the most obvious. Several others are mentioned. The most entertaining is [[spoiler: Tifa and the ''WesternAnimation/TaleSpin'' version of Shere Khan. Yes, they really are officially boyfriend and girlfriend by the time of the epilogue]].
55* IntelligibleUnintelligible: Zurg's Hornet robots only have three sentences in their vocabulary, but Zurg seems to understand them.
56%%* JiveTurkey: "Mastah S" lapses into this every so often.
57* KansasCityShuffle: [[spoiler: Satan allows Oberon to banish him and his demons to avoid his attack that incapacitates most of the magic-powered wedding guests and to trick Oberon into thinking he's not a threat, so he can send his minions to Avalon and cart all of Oberon's children off to Hell]].
58* KneelBeforeZod: [[spoiler: Oberon]] demanded King Authur to kneel before him, or he'd [[spoiler:kill everyone]]. All it did was make Authur even more awesome.
59* LookBehindYou: In one of the epilogues, [[spoiler:[[Franchise/AceAttorney Phoenix Wright]] says "Look, over there, it's the Cheshire Cat playing with a rare limited-edition Steel Samurai figurine!" Funnily enough, the cat indeed is. And it works, too.]]
60* LimitBreak: Several towards the end, in combination-attack form. There's Sora, Roxas, Sora ''[[CombinationAttack and]]'' Roxas and Tifa's special attacks, for instance.
61* MarriedToTheJob: In this fic, [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII Cloud]] is hopelessly isolated from his friends thanks to his obsession with hunting down Sephiroth. It's even worse for him in his epilogue [[spoiler: because Tifa acquires a new boyfriend (the ''WesternAnimation/TaleSpin'' version of Shere Khan) who is not only just as good as Cloud at organising the team at Radiant Garden to defend their world, but is actually there when he's needed]].
62* MegaCrossover: Almost everything is crossed over here, but it still holds together.
63* MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate: Judge Doom reveals [[spoiler: that he never actually graduated from law school.]] [[SarcasmMode What a shocker.]]
64%%* MrExposition: [[spoiler:Ven, Terra, and Aqua. Also Merlin, to a lesser extent.]]
65* MythologyGag: All over the place, naturally. However, there is a notable instance, namely [[spoiler: Aerith's death]], where this gets PlayedForDrama.
66* NobodyThinksItWillWork: Everyone thinks this about Pete and Maleficent [[spoiler:except Mastah S]], [[WhatsHeGotThatIAintGot whether it be Maleficent's villainous admirers]] or [[WhatDoesSheSeeInHim all the other characters who are just disturbed.]]
67* NoCureForEvil: Subverted with [[spoiler:Yiazmat, who heals himself after the Gullwings use their strongest Dresspheres against him]].
68* NoSell: [[spoiler:King Leo can block any attack with his energy shield. Then his fusion with Mushuzilla, King Dragon, takes this up to eleven.]]
69* OfficialCouple: The following is a list of all the romantically linked characters, starting with Pete/Maleficent because their wedding is the framework of the entire fic. [[spoiler: Shere Khan/Tifa, Vayne/Ashe, Montlbanc/Shara,]] as well as most of the standard Disney couples like Mickey/Minnie, Aladdin/Jasmine, etc. Sora/Riku/Kairi/Roxas/Namine, of course.
70* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: Jack Sparrow vs. Yuffie is set up as a ShoutOut to the ninjas vs. pirates meme, but we don't actually get to see the fight. Since the story is so huge, some details not relating to the main story feel as though they could form the basis of entire fanfics on their own, such as [[spoiler: the events that brought the ''WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}}'' and ''Franchise/ToyStory'' characters to the wedding.]]
71* PetTheDog: Maleficent toward Nosimono. She is not a happy camper when he is hurt [[spoiler:by Oberon ripping his arm off.]]
72* PlotlineDeath: Zig-Zagged, [[spoiler:When Aerith dies, they state that they can't revive her because Sephiroth killed her with the Masamune. Satan revives her anyway, but the catch is that she comes back as a demon rather than a human.]]
73* PsychoForHire: [[spoiler: Sephiroth, who Oberon hires to crash the wedding.]] According to the author's notes he was meant to be the main villain before Creator/Ri2 had the idea to use [[spoiler: Oberon instead.]]
74* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Roxas taking over Sora's body to call out [[spoiler: Leon]].
75%%* ReferenceOverdosed
76* SequelHook: [[spoiler: In the final epilogue Satan reveals that the events of the story were part of a massive, long-term plan designed to create an army of Keyblade masters that he can control.]]
77* ShoutOut: There are as many of these as there are characters.
78** A particularly notable case is a subtle one to the webcomic ''Webcomic/AnsemRetort'', when it states that Axel had no problem "burning down all those orphanages".
79** There is an offhand remark about [[VideoGame/DisgaeaHourOfDarkness a demon named Etna and her exploding penguin brigade]].
80* SadisticChoice: In the fight against [[spoiler: the Unseelie]], PJ had to choose between Max (best friend) or Peg and Pistol (family), who were about to be killed by them. [[spoiler: He was knocked down before he could make up his mind. Luckily, Pete and Goofy (at separate times) come in to the rescue.]]
81* TeensAreMonsters: Played straight with [[spoiler: Pete's daughter [[WesternAnimation/GoofTroop Pistol]] and Yuffie]], who share an interest in mayhem and larceny. However, [[spoiler: they're later faced with the fact that they are indirectly responsible for Aerith's death.]]
82%%* TokenEvilTeammate: None other than {{Satan}} himself.
83* TheUnreveal: We were about to find out how Pete and Mickey became from what they were in "Steamboat Willie" to their present positions, but it was interrupted by Maleficent entering the chapel.
84* TransformationIsAFreeAction: {{Lampshaded}} and mocked during King Leo and Mushuzilla's fusion dance, with everyone not involved wondering why they can't do anything but watch.
85* {{Wangst}}: In-universe, Leon wallows in self-pity and despair, and frequently gets called out on it by everyone else.
86* WeaknessTurnsHerOn: This is the reason Mastah S gives for Maleficent finding Pete a suitable husband.
87--> "Now, my dawg Pete here, she likes him more than I think she's liked any man… BUT…he is kind of a wuss. Then again, she seems to like that in a man, for some reason. She likes feeling superior to 'em…and that's easier to do with a lackey than an equal."
88* WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue: One that extends through three ridiculously long chapters, ranging from funny to melancholy, but covers just about every character.
89* WorthyOpponent: [[Franchise/FinalFantasy Gilgamesh]] wants to fight Sora to claim his keyblade (he already has several keyblades, but he wants the original one for his collection).
