Line #164 Fanfic/LuminaryUprise


1	''Luminary Uprise'' is a ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'' fan fiction.
2
3	In this story, two very important things happen. One is that the former members of the Organization, minus Xemnas, decide to join forces with the good guys for once. Another is that Xehanort is back with a vengeance, and this time he's out to destroy ALL the worlds, including ones that have never been seen before in the Kingdom Hearts franchise and never will be.
4
5	It's full of crack, crossovers, mythology gags, adventure, comedy, drama, and shipping...but most of all, good old friendship and the age old battle against evil.

17	%%* AttackOfThe50FootWhatever: Juan Ponce de Lèon.
18	%%* AxCrazy: Saïx.
19	%%* BackFromTheDead: Most of the villains. Justified in that only the villains can deal with Hades, who is also a villain.
20	* BadassNormal: Ilia has no magic powers and her only weapon is a dagger, but she can throw that dagger perfectly and is gifted with horses.
21	* BeethovenWasAnAlienSpy: [[UsefulNotes/JuanPonceDeLeon Ponce de Leon]] was an enemy of Jack Sparrow.
22	%%* {{BFG}}: Gaz loves these.
23	* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: La Vie Boheme!
24	** Lampshaded: "VIVA! LA VIE! ...oh, wait, we're not doing that anymore."
25	* ChekhovsGun: Don't forget ANY small detail that seems important.
26	* ChivalrousPervert: If Euryale wasn't standing between Luxord and Hera's garden, he probably would have charmed her.
27	%%* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Myed, at first. By the time he wises up, this fic gets GIR.
28	* ClusterFBomb: Cid would have one of these if the #$^$^& author didn't censor every @#%^#% word he said.
29	* CruelTwistEnding: [[spoiler: Jack Sparrow falling under the Ring's glamour on the rim of Mount Doom. And they were ALMOST there!]]
30	* CuttingTheKnot: Saïx's response to what would have been a normal-length battle with [[spoiler: Grimmjow]]. He gets annoyed and just smashes him to bits instead.
31	* DarkHorseVictory: Sora and Rosalina's teams in the Brawl were destined to face off with each other, but we never find out who the victor is because [[spoiler: Ganondorf interrupts the match. Would this make him the winner?]]
32	%%* DeathOfTheHypotenuse: [[spoiler: Aerith. AGAIN.]]
33	%%* DestructionEqualsOffSwitch: The first step to disabling the Leviathan.
34	* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: Did [[spoiler: Lexaeus]] just punch out [[spoiler: Sephiroth]]?
35	%%* DifferentForGirls: Marluxia suffers this while crossdressing to distract pirates.

37	%%* TheDulcineaEffect: To an extent, Riku and Ilia.
38	%%* DysfunctionJunction: The Organization, of course.
39	%%* EqualOpportunityEvil: The Neo-Organization is made up of several famous Big Bads from across fiction, so this is only to be expected.
40	%%* EveryBodyHatesHades: Well...he kinda has a way of screwing things up for our heroes...
41	%%* EvilOverlord: If you don't know it's Xehanort, you weren't paying attention.
42	%%* FaceHeelTurn: Vincent Valentine. [[spoiler: Though his betrayal may not be so black and white as it appears...]]
43	* FakeKing: Ganondorf takes over the Chinese Emperor's body for a little bit.
44	* FantasyKitchenSink: Justified in that everything is separated to the world it belongs in. The story as a whole, however, runs the gamut.
45	* TheFashionista: Early on, it's established that Marluxia is wearing Larxene's boots. [[spoiler: Later on, Cruella de Vil shows up, and wants nothing more than to put her animal-skin designs on [=LaCienega=] Boulevardez, Xellarednic, and Jafar.]]
46	* FireForgedFriends: Putting all the different Disney characters, along with several of the bad guys from the Organization, on the same side of the battlefield turns them into Nakama.
47	%%* ForgottenFallenFriend: [[spoiler: Roxas resents being this.]]
48	* FreakinessShame: Belle likes Adam whether he's human or a Beast.
49	* FriendlyNeighborhoodVampire: Edward Cullen has helped the team out. He was absolutely annoying the whole time, but he did help.
50	%%* FunnyAnimal: Clive the Mudkip.
51	* AGodAmI: Xehanort...and a few of his followers, too. [[spoiler: Sauron and Aizen]] are pretty bad offenders.
52	* GratuitousPrincess: The Princesses of Heart have expanded to WAY beyond seven. Newcomers to the group include Zelda, Kida, and Tiger Lily. Tiger Lily's speech justifies it, explaining that only the original seven have the powers of the goddesses.
53	%%* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler: Yzma.]]
54	%%* AHellOfATime: Well, if you happen to be a Replicant, a Sanderson, a Shinigami, or Tails Doll, anyway.
55	* HeterosexualLifePartners: Zexion and Vexen, to the point where they automatically refer to the other as "my brother" though there is no blood relation. Well, maybe Zexion isn't heterosexual per sé, but Vexen isn't the object of his affections.
56	%%** Also, Myed and Axel.
57	%%* HighHeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler: Xellarednic]]
58	%%* HistoricalVillainUpgrade: Juan Ponce de Lèon
59	%%* HopelessBossFight: Xehanort (twice), [[spoiler: Peacock Hera]]
60	%%* HumongousMecha: Gundam Bowser
61	%%* IAmNotLeftHanded: The full implications of Zexion's laguz blood come out while he is battling Rayquaza.
62	%%* IdiotBall: Vexen...also, Jack Sparrow.
63	* IfYouKillHimYouWillBeJustLikeHim: Sora lets Redd go because he doesn't want to be branded a murderer.
64	* ImprobablyFemaleCast: [[spoiler: The CastFullOfPrettyBoys was the original Organization of Nobodies. The new crop of evil Nobodies is those of the Princesses of Heart...and if Gaston's word is anything to go by, they're all rather sexy.]]
65	%%* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Surprisingly, XALDIN.
66	* KnightTemplarBigBrother: You hurt Zexion. Prepare for Vexen to bring the pain.
67	%%* LadyOfWar: Kairi.
68	* LiteralGenie: Ursula plays one when she makes a contract entitling her to kidnap "the one whose true name is Melody." [[spoiler: "Myed" turns out to be a male variant of Melody, which causes a stir in said contract.]]
69	* LivingForeverIsAwesome: Xehanort is immortal. He loves it.
70	%%* LonelyAtTheTop: Marluxia has a vision of this sort while playing with the throne at Disney Castle.
71	* LoserSonOfLoserDad: [[spoiler: Sephiroth considers Zexion to be a prime killing target because he carries the DNA of Micaiah (his mother) and Jenova (his sister).]]
72	* LoudOfWar: Myed and Axel fight over the radio. Axel likes rap and Myed likes rock. Each of their favorite genres drives the other insane.
73	%%* LoveAtFirstSight: Teen Tidus and Pixie Yuna.
74	* LukeIAmYourFather: [[spoiler: Vexen is Hojo's child.]]
75	* MadeOfIron: In Commexo City, [[spoiler: a freakin' building falls on Vexen. He's fine.]]
76	%%* MagikarpPower: Myed, Ariel, and a lot of the team, actually.
77	* MayDecemberRomance: Myed is 21. Rosalina is...immortal? Also, due to an experiment with the time/space continuum, Vexen's body is a lot older than his brain, making his romance with [[spoiler: Yzma]] this.
78	* MoralEventHorizon: When Xehanort crosses this is up to you. His backstory with Mirage? His plan to eradicate Toontown? When he killed [[spoiler: Light Yagami, his own associate]]? You decide.
79	* MoralityChain: In the beginning, Xaldin and Saix seem to only be going with the plan because the rest of their associates did.
80	%%* MoreDakka: Xigbar's general philosophy, which he tries to teach James Turner.
81	%%* MorphicResonance: Everyone's Pridelands and Ant Island forms. Also, the forms the Star Command team takes in Andy's Room.
82	%%* MultiversalConqueror: Xehanort (No, really?)
83	* MundaneUtility: WordOfGod states that Axel, who is unable to touch water, cleanses himself by setting himself on fire. Basically, his magic powers are his custom shower.
84	* MyBelovedSmother: Myed's mom gets a little overprotective when she sees him for the first time in a few years...
85	* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Xehanort's last name is Skardsen, an anagram for "darkness."
86	%%* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Sora, Bulblin was on YOUR side...
87	%%* TheNicknamer: Xigbar...and this was written BEFORE the existence of 358/2 Days.
88	%%* NinjaMaid: Well...she's not a ninja, and she's not a maid, but waitress Jenna Deblin is pretty tough when she wants to be.
89	* NoFourthWall:
90	** In chapter 6.5, Lexaeus engages the author in conversation, threatening to smash the fourth wall if she doesn't give him more stage time. This leads to his "hero moments" in chapter 7. Most of the characters (minus Sora) seem to know they are fictional, as well. This may be because we find out later that Lexaeus actually did break the fourth wall somewhere around the time of 6.5. After that, yelling at the narrator isn't an odd circumstance anymore.
91	** The characters also find themselves in [[spoiler: Disney World, which is based on the real Earth with NOTHING fictionalized except the travelers]]. That chapter guest features the author's aunt, who remains unnamed.
92	* NoNameGiven: Beast's name (Adam) is given, but he tells everyone including the author that he considers that name a Discontinuity.
93	* NoYay: [[spoiler: Marluxia x Audrey II]]
94	* NotTheFallThatKillsYou: Myed is swept off a safety beam, and the only thing below appears to be the whirling blades and grinding gears of the Pie Machine. Sora doesn't give up hope, and leads a few others to find him. As it turns out, Myed landed in one of the few safe spots from the blades! [[spoiler: It's the exploding safety valve. Celebrations are halted. Don't worry, he's fine.]]
95	* OneWingedAngel: Most of the villains have one of these forms. Juan Ponce de Leon grows to incredible heights, for example, and most notably, [[spoiler: Hera grows a peacock tail when she becomes angry and homicidal.]]
96	* OnlySixFaces: Parodied. The stock character for Traverse Town in the original Kingdom Hearts shows up to explain WHY there are so many of him: they're all clones!
97	* OrnamentalWeapon: Xehanort has a pretty scary Keyblade, but after a while, he uses it as a receptacle for princesses' hearts and prefers to fight with his silver sword, Agony.
98	* OverlyLongGag: You can make a lot of puns out of "Even."
99	* PairTheSpares: The original reason for the Riku/Ilia pairing was so Sora and Kairi, as well as Link and Midna, could be together without outside interruptions or loose ends left behind.
100	* PalsWithJesus: The main party meets Amaterasu, who was recently revealed to be [[spoiler: the ultimate wielder of light]]. They get along pretty well.
101	* PapaWolf: Vash and [[spoiler: Vexen]].
102	* PaperThinDisguise: Try a paper thin anagram. "Teckor Meat" in Neovia is not a meat shop. It's an anagram for "Team Rocket." And the Meowth at the counter is definitely NOT a Neopet.
103	* ParentalAbandonment: Zexion and Vexen are orphans, and Marluxia's mother died while his father cut ties. These are all important to their development. Also, Kairi frequently struggles with the fact that her father is the unsentimental and dead [[spoiler: Ansem]].
104	* PlayerNudge: An in-story example. Waka's prophecy turns out to be the key to saving an entire world.
105	* PlotCoupon: Keys to Hera's garden, Grand Stars, materials for Link's sword.
106	* PowerGivesYouWings: Sephiroth's wing now seems to be visible 24/7.
107	* ThePowerOfRock: The entire point of the first Atlantica arc, where Maleficent is defeated because Sora and Riku were singing "Knife Fight" while battling her.
108	* PrincessClassic: Peach might be the only one that isn't secretly a badass.
109	* PunchPunchPunchUhOh: FIVE characters find this out AT ONCE during the initial ambush on Xehanort.
110	* RagnarokProofing: Atlantis, City in the Sky.
111	* ReTool: Over its numerous chapters, Luminary Uprise has evolved a lot to accommodate new fans, the author's changing pleasures, and the occasional fan suggestion. Most notably when Axel and Myed changed from insufferable rivals to best friends.
112	* RedeemingReplacement: The Queen of Hearts hands her crown to [[spoiler: Kairi]].
113	** Lampshaded when (gay) Zexion thinks his lover (gay) Marluxia is jealous of the attention he fawns upon (straight) Vexen.
114	* ReplacementGoldfish: Xaldin is indirectly responsible for the appearance of [[spoiler: button-eyed Thidlea]].
115	%%* ReptilesAreAbhorrent: The Jabberwocky, Jafar.
116	* RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap: Kairi is now an Action Girl rather than a damsel in distress.
117	* MustMakeAmends: Axel makes Vexen an apology cupcake for the Castle Oblivion incident, since the resurrection was already done for him.
118	%%* RomanticFalseLead: Aerith for Cloud [[spoiler: at first]].
119	%%* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: All the Princesses of Heart, most notably Kairi and Tiger Lily.
120	%%* SatelliteCharacter: Princess Bee. She's just Queen Bee's daughter.
121	%%* SeriousBusiness: All the games on Neopets.
122	* ShipperOnDeck: Three words: "Zexy's Midnight Runners." (Otherwise known as the band Zexion and Myed jokingly form to sing about how Axel and Larxene should be together.)
123	* ShipSinking: There will be no Zelink, there will be no Marth/Caeda, and no matter how much you want it, there will be no 411.
124	* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: Kairi wants Sora because of his amazing heart.
125	%%* SixthRanger: Ilia, followed by all of Myed's pets.
126	%%* SlapSlapKiss: Axel and Larxene on the way up the Tung Shao Pass.
127	%%* SmallGirlBigGun: Gaz. Just Gaz.
128	%%* TheSoCalledCoward: After a while, Myed evolves into this.
129	* SquishyWizard: Vexen's ice powers are amazing. He's also one of the most delicate members of the team.
130	* StandardFemaleGrabArea: Parodied. Everyone knows Kairi's one weakness is that she doesn't know how to break a grip on her arm.
131	%%* StarfishAliens: Well, there are Tribbles in this fic...
132	* TheStarscream: Sort of. Sauron wants to overthrow Xehanort and have MORGOTH take his place.
133	%%* StayInTheKitchen: The Lost Boys.
134	%%* StraightGay: Zexion. Mostly the case for Marluxia too (he likes women's boots but draws the line at dresses).
135	* StickyFingers: Jack Sparrow. Aladdin is a case of retired Sticky Fingers that come out to play when Jack starts stealing his stuff.
136	* StrongFamilyResemblance: Well, now you know why Axel and Reno look so much alike. [[spoiler: Same goes for Vexen and Hojo.]]
137	* StuffBlowingUp: Sephiroth go BOOM!
138	* SuperDrowningSkills: How a few of the characters end up on Davy Jones' ship. Subverted with Myed; he can breathe underwater, but was trapped in an airtight barrel. Defied with Jack Skellington; he's just dead.
139	%%* SuperpoweredEvilSide: [[spoiler: The Princesses' Nobodies.]]
140	%%* TakenForGranite: Zelda, as a tribute to her TakenForGranite state in Minish Cap and Phantom Hourglass.
141	* TakeThat: As the story approached 200 chapters, the author celebrated by having her favorite Final Fantasy villain (Sephiroth) kill her least favorite Final Fantasy villain (Kefka) offstage!
142	** However, when she grew to like Kefka, she had Sephiroth murder Seymour Guado. This one was less subtle.
143	* TakeYourTime: There always seems to be time to take a nap at Radiant Garden.
144	%%* ThereAreNoTherapists: There just AREN'T.
145	%%* ThunderboltIron: The silver sword Agony isn't technically made of silver, and we'll leave it at that.
146	%%* TokenEvilTeammate: Jack Sparrow to varying degrees.
147	%%* TooManyBelts: This fanfic contains Leon.
148	%%* TookALevelInBadass: Ariel, Kairi, Ilia.
149	* TurnedAgainstTheirMasters: [[spoiler: When Vexen finds out he's Hojo's clone-child...let's just say it's a good thing Hojo is already dead. Sephiroth also holds a grudge against Hojo AND Vexen.]]
150	%%* TykeBomb: [[spoiler: Even's original purpose was to be one of these for Hojo. He escaped because Hojo wanted to dismantle him and start over.]]
151	* UltimateJobSecurity: Why hasn't Olaf been sacked yet?
152	* UnholyMatrimony: Maleficent/Captain Hook, Jafar/Cruella de Vil
153	%%* UnresolvedSexualTension: Axel and Larxene, Vinny and Audrey. [[spoiler: Eventually they both Resolve.]]
154	* TheUnReveal: How Xigbar lost his eye.
155	** This was of course written before Birth By Sleep's major information was released; the story will most likely be changed so that [[spoiler: Terra did it]].
156	* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: Jack Skellington is advised to go into hiding on a few worlds to keep from freaking people out...but not many.
157	%%* UrbanSegregation: Upper and Lower Halloween Town.
158	* VerbalTic: Most of the usual Kingdom Hearts catchphrases are here in small doses; more notably, Cid now swears ten times per sentence, but it's all censored with punctuation marks.
159	* VillainSong: Maleficent has one at last! It's..."Thriller." As made famous by Michael Jackson.
160	* VillainSue: Xehanort. This shouldn't be a surprise by now.
161	* VillainWithGoodPublicity: There's a reason why those who oppose Xehanort are known as "The Resistance." Most townspeople seem to think he's God.
162	* WeaksauceWeakness: Axel is hurt by water. Conversely, Vexen is hurt by hot climates.
163	* WhatTheHellHero: Sora gets chewed out after he threatens Bulblin for no reason.
164	%%* WiseBeyondTheirYears: Kairi [[spoiler: and Namine.]]
165	%%* {{Xenafication}}: Kairi.
166	%%* XMarksTheHero: Now that Saix has switched sides, this applies!
167	%%* YouHaveFailedMe: [[spoiler: Hojo's original plan for Even. Even gets away.]]
168	* YouKilledMyFather: [[spoiler: Sephiroth killed Zexion's father AND mother! Zexion wants blood.]]
169	%%* YouRequireMoreVespeneGas: The plot of the Hyrule arc.
170	%%* ZombieApocalypse: Zim causes one.
