Kingdom Hearts: The Story of Darkness

This is my first fanfic here but I've made other fanfics on other sites so it shouldn't be that bad. LOL XD. Well, anyway, this is more a story veered in Riku's direction.


A sneak peek...
Riku looked in the mirror, unable to accept what was happenning. A Corridor to Darkness appeared behind him and Riku whipped around, already knowing who it was. "W-what have you done to me?" he stammered.

Xemnas chuckled coldly. "I have done nothing. I only opened up what was hidden deep in your heart..."


Summary: It has been one week since Sora and his friends defeated Organization XII. They returned home with very few questions asked (thanks to Kairi) and now...

Chapter 1
Destiny Island-Island
Riku sighed, looking up at the sky. He laid on one of the paupu tree branches, wondering what the others were doing. Sora was more than likely with Kairi, 'taking a walk.' They had been seeing alot of eachother lately.

Eager footsteps sounded from behind him and Sora jumped over the tree, leaning on the other side. "Hey, Riku. What're you doing out here? Kairi and I were worried that you didn't want to talk to us."

Riku turned his head away from Sora's gaze. Sora looked at him, "You miss it, don't you?" the keyblade master said, concerned.

Riku nodded. "How can you not? I wanted to come home so badly, and now all I want to do is leave again. I miss everything we did, Sora. I miss travelling from world to world; battling bad guys; all that stuff. I even miss thrawting Nobody and Heartless plans. I miss the adventure."

Sora sighed and looked out to the distance. "Yeah. So do I. Battling with the keyblade; Donald and Goofy; and especially..." He stopped there.

Riku sat up and looked down, smiling. "Rescuing Kairi?" he finished and laughed. "I don't mind Sora. Kairi and I...it wouldn't work."

Sora looked up. "Then...I guess I can tell you. Riku, Kairi and I are...well...we're kinda going out. Well we are going out."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 2

Riku caught his breath. "Really?" he said, unsure of what to say.

Sora sighed. "Y-yeah. Well, I'd better get going. See ya later Riku," he finished and ran off.

Riku jumped down from the tree. Well, that was...interesting. I should be happy for them. Sora and Kairi are made for each other. After all, their Nobodies like each other too. I just wish some adventure or excitment would come my way.

That night: Riku's room

Riku tossed and turned as flashes of his past filled his dreams. Flashes of how he and Sora closed the door to Kingdom Hearts and how he, Riku, transformed into Ansem. He jumped awake, breathing hard.

Riku fell back down, rubbing his head. He looked out the window and saw it was still dark. He got up and grabbed his clothes, changing quickly.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 3
Desitny Island-Island

Riku walked out to the shore and looked to the distance, where the moon was in the middle of the sky. "I wish something would happen!" he shouted angerly, kicking sand into the air.

"Really? I suppose you didn't expect someone to answer, did you?" a female voice came. It was very teasing, like insulting was a past-time.

Riku did a 360. "Show youself, coward."

"Now is that any way to treat old friends?" And a Corridor to Darkness appeared. A person stepped out, wearing the traditional Organization XIII uniform. She, for it was a female, lowered her hood, revealing bright blond hair that was a little long. She smiled, her green eyes, piercing the darkness.

Riku took a step back. "Larxene? Your alive?"

Larxene laughed coldly. "Of course. How can one that doesn't exist die in the first place?" she said and took a couple steps towards him.

Riku stood firm. "What do you want?" he said and the Way to Dawn appeared in his hand.

Larxene shook a finger at him. "Now that isn't nice, little Riku. You asked a question, so I'm coming to give you an answer."

Riku lowered his weapon. "What are you talking about?" he demanded.

"You asked to be taken away from this island, so that's what I'm going to do," she replied and a Corridor to Darkness appeared behind Riku.

He gave a quick glance backwards. "Yeah, right. Probably leading to some twisted world," he said, raising his keyblade again.

Larxene put up her hands defensively. "Hey, I'm just following orders," she said and took a step. Before Riku could realize what was happenning, the Savage Nimph hit him it the back. His keyblade slipped from his fingers, hitting the ground and he was unconscious before he even hit the ground.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 4
The Castle That Never Was-The World That Never Was

"Incredible. Simply Incredible."

"Xemnas will be very pleased. His abilities are astounding."

"It's a good thing that he told us to scan in more detail or we never would have found all this power."

"I know. If we hadn't modified his abilities earlier today, he'd be able to kill us."

Riku's eyes fluttered open, weakness over-taking him. "W-what...w-where am I?" he said weakly.

Two people in black robes turned to face him. One had dirty blond hair and was a male. His hair fell down to the middle of his waist and he wore a firm expression. The other male had blue-black hair that fell in front of his face. He stood in a position like he was thinking. Riku also knew them both by name.

Zexion was the first to speak. "He is awake." Way to keep it simple.

Vexen nodded and turned to face a computor he had been typing on. "Yes, and all vital signs are functioning normally. It's like nothing happenned..." his voice trailed off. Riku took this time to look around. His wrists and ankles were chained with black glowing chains. The room they were in was pure white but with a couple Nobody symbols here and there.

Zexion walked around Riku, examing his body. "Nothing seems different from when we last met," he said finishing in front of him.

Riku's eyes narrowed. "If you forgot, I defeated you last time," he spat angerly.

"With much luck and with the help of the darkness," a deep voice sounded. Zexion back off and stood beside Vexen. A corridor of darkness appeared in front of Riku and a hooded man walked into the room.

Zexion and Vexen bowed. "Superior," they murmured quietly.

The man did not accknowledge their prescene but focused on Riku. "You are...different. You reak of the realm of light and your true power is hidden behind a mask of your actual self."

Riku glared at him. "Look who's talking. Stop hidding behind that hood and come out, Xehanort," he said angerly.

The man lowered his hood, and Xemnas stood, orange eyes flashing. "I would talk nice to me, Weilder of Twilight."

Riku glared angerly. "You don't have any power over me. I can easily destroy you like last time."

Xemnas laughed. "I think you'll find that the tables have changed," he said and raised a hand.

Riku's body went tense. "Wha- why can't I move?" he said attempting to move.

Xemnas lowered his hand and Riku was able to gain control. "I think you'll find I am very in control." He turned to Vexen and Zexion. "Take him to my quarters and no one is to disturb us unless I say," he said and disppaered. They nodded and Riku felt a surge of pain run through his body. And than it was black...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 5

Riku's eyes opened slowly and he stood up, looking around. He was in another white room that had nothing but a small desk at the end. A corridor to darkness appeared and Xemnas appeared. "Confused? Let me open your eyes," he said and walked to his desk, standing in front of it.

"You probably wonder how I can control your body," Riku nodded. "Well, I won't tell you. It is for me to know and for you not to know."

Riku growled in anger. A black aura surrounded him. He calmed down. "What have you done to me?" he said looking at himself.

Xemnas chuckled. "Nothing, yet." The Nobody pulled out one of his laser swords and hit Riku in the stomche, sending him to his knees. "It's time you realizd who you really are," Xemnas said raising a hand over Riku's lifeless body. He could only watch until he slipped into unconsciousness.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Riku woke with a start. "What a wierd...dream?" he said and looked around the room he was in. He was lieing in a bed that was pure white, in an Organization XII uniform. The room was white also with nothing more in it.

Riku stood up, rubbing his head. "I must be still dreaming," he said to himself and took a step to the door. A mirror caught his eye to his left and Riku stopped. He went to the mirror, unble to believe what he was seeing.

"What did Xemnas do?" he said looking at himself. His eyes had changed from sea blue to almost a deep purple. His hair looked a little more spikier and had black steaks running through it.

Riku looked in the mirror, unable to accept what was happenning. A Corridor to Darkness appeared behind him and Riku whipped around, already knowing who it was. "W-what have you done to me?" he stammered.

Xemnas chuckled coldly. "I have done nothing. I only opened up what was hidden deep in your heart," he said simply. "A nice change though, to be sure."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Well, that's it for today. By everyone.

 

Interesting. I'm going to keep reading.

 

Thanks alot. I wasn't sure if people would like it. LOL. I'm off to eat supper so within the hour the next chapter will be up.

 

I will continue to read it too.

 

Thanks guys. I hope your not writting that because you'll hope it will get better. I hope you're writting it because u like the story. LOL. Anyway. here's another chapter.

Chapter 6

Riku's eyes narowed, anger flowing through him. "Well I don't like it! Change me back to normal!" He shouted and stepped back. Dark flames rose out of the ground, almost triggered be his anger.

Xemnas looked around, analizing the situation. "Interesting. I wondered when your abilities would appear."

Riku calmed himself down. "Abilities? What are you talking about? What have you done to me?"

The Nobody leader shook his head. "You really are as clueless as when you began. I have given you an amazing gift and all you do not even thank me." Riku gave him a look. "Not that I even care. No, this 'gift' of yours will be the very thing that will finally open Kingdom Hearts to me," he fnished and disappeared into a Corridor of Darkness.

Riku swore and flames rose out of the ground again. I have to keep calm and think. There must be some way of cantacting Sora. Telling him what's going on might help but it doesn't seem like Xemnas will just let me do that. I'll have to bide my time and see what happens.

Footsteps sounded behind him and Zexion walked into the room. "If your done detroying the place, come with me. I have something that I'm positive you'll like," he said and walked off.

Riku looked at the door. "Something I'll like? There's only one things I'll like..." he stopped realizing what Zexion must have meant and ran after him.

 

Interesting. I didn't quiet understand the ending. I'm simple minded I guess...

 

Yeah, I have to admit that it is a little hard to understand. I had to go so I wasn't sure how to end it as a cliffhanger. Anyway, here's the answer to the previous chapter.

Chapter 7​

Riku followed Zexion down a flight of stairs and walked into a room near the bottom of the castle. This room was painted black, instead of white. There were white Nobody symbols here and there and books. Lots of books. Riku wasn't sure how many but it made Merlin's collection look like a child's selection.

Riku walked in and searched for the Nobody who lead him there. "Over here," came Zexion's voice and Riku found him standing over what looked like a cauldrin. Black flames surrounded it and the center was pure white.

"What is-" the keyblader started but Zexion cut him off. He ran a hand over the cauldrin, whispering a few words. The white background shimmered and a vision of Sora appeared on it.

Riku bent over, making sure it was him. "Sora? Sora, can you hear me?" he said loudly.

Zexion shook his head. "He cannot hear you. It is simply an image of what he's doing now. We have no affect on what they do in this present time."

Riku bent back and looked into the cauldrin. He watched as Sora ran over to thier friend Tidus who said something. Sora laughed and ran in the direction that Tidus was pointing to. Riku watched as his best friend ran over to Kairi. And than it happenned.

They hugged eachother tight and kissed, full-on. It felt like time had stopped in the world.

Riku could feel shock followed by anger. "What's he doing?" he shouted and black flames rose around the room in his anger. "I would have thought he would have been looking for me but all he cares about is that stupid princess!"

Zexion smiled, enjoying the scene. "Well, I can imagine it would be a shock to one's system. Well, actually, I can't but I know that it isn't good to find the one who's supposed to look out for you and who you trust above all others, sudennly give up for a girl," he said, edging on Riku's rage.

Riku yelled in anger and stormed out of the room, heading upstairs. Zexion rolled his eyes and the image vanished. A corridor to darkness appeared behind him.

"Excellent work, Zexion," Xemnas stated, stepping out from the tunnel.

Zexion bowed. "Thank you, Superior."

Xemnas walked over to the cauldrin. "Very smart of you to use your power of illusion on him. I couldn't have done better myself."

Zexion nodded. "But, what aobut Riku? If he gets too powerful he'll-"

Xemnas put up a hand. "Leave that to me. For now, keep up the illusion that ?Sora is sitting at home, enjoying the feelings that the princess gives him. If Riku finds out that the keyblade master is searching for him as we speak, we wont be around to see Kingdom Hearts open for us."

Zexion bowed low again. "As you wish." Xemnas nodded and disappeared.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Riku sat on his bed, attempting to calm down but the fires raged on inside and outside him. Something was there, inside him, that has never been there. It was the feeling of hate. He had never felt it before. Xehanort's heartless was just annoying, how he always popped up everywhere and Xemnas...well it was like being in the same room with the same two people.

Right now, he hated Sora. He didn't want to but the evidence lay there in front of him. There was something else too. Like someone else's emotions were being mixed in with his, making all feelings stronger.

"Myabe you should cool off. Fire's my department, you know?" a voice said and a man with fiery red hair walked into his room.

Riku looked up. "What do you want, Axel? In case you didn't know, I'm not in the mood to talk with any Organization members today," he said angerly, flames rising again.

"Really? Well, then, I won't tell you," Axel said and started to walk away.

Riku held up a hand to stop him and is powers responded, creating a wall of fire in the Nobody's path. "What were you going to tell me?"

Axel sighed and turned around. "It was what I was not going to tell you. I was ordered not to tell you that your under the control of Xemnas. I was also ordered not to tell you that you easily defeat the Organization if you gain control over your abilities and that I am not allowed to help you in any way to overthrow Xemnas. That's about it."

Riku jumped up. "Wait, you're going to help me?"

Axel sighed again. "Yes and don't think it's because I like you because I don't have a heart.'

"Then why?"

"I shouldn't say."

"Tell me!"

"Alright, calm your flames down," Axel said pointing at the fire around him. "Well, I'd like to see Sora one more time, before I actually die."

Riku looked at him, confused. "Why would you want to do that?"

"So I can see Roxas. I wouldn't mind seeing the little midget again," he said with a shrug.

Riku roleld his eyes. "Your not very good at explanations are you? Tell me exactly what's going on," he demanded.

Axel chuckled. "I'd rather not. Better you figure it out by yourself," he teased.

Riku's eyes flashed. "Why you!" Flames rose up but Axel was already gone.

 

Oh ok i get it know. I think this was the best chapter yet... In my opinion. :D

 

Wow, thanks 01_Kairi! Your probably my favotire person on this site right now! *throws confettie* Anyway, I'm going to write the next chapter but bare with me. I'm writting a science project on Marsupials(Kangaroos and koalas and animals like that) so if I use really big words, let me know! Anyway, on with the story!

Chapter 8

Riku laid down on his bed, calming down. He tried focusing on something that it would be impossible to show any kind of feeling over. This room for one thing. That or actually doing something. Not that there's much to do in this place. I need to talk to Axel. He knows more than what he's telling me so I'll squeeze it out of him.

Riku jumped out of bed and peeked outside his door, making sure no one was coming. He dashed upstairs and turned a corner. Looking around, he saw a door that looked like a flame had been drawn on it.

Riku walked up to the door and knocked. "Like I'm going to tell you anything," axel's voice said from inside.

"Come on. You know something. Just pretend that I overheard you telling yourself," Riku replied and gave a little chuckle.

He heard Axel sigh and the door clicked open. "Alright. Well, for one thing, you shouldn't be mad at Sora," he said and walked back into his room.

Riku followed him in. The room was white but there were a couple scorch marks on the walls. "And why's that?" he said, anger rising.

Axel chuckled and faced him. "Becuase that wasn't Sora."

"What are you talking about?" Riku asked, confused. "Of course it was."

The Nobody shook his head. "No, it wasn't. It was an image created by Zexion. To get you on Xemnas' side instead of Sora's."

Riku growled in anger and black flames curled around him. "I'll kill him for that." He made for the door but Axel blocked his path.

"Why do that when you can get revenge on the entire Organization."

"What do you mean?"

Axel relaxed. "It's like what happenned in Castle Oblivion. Half of the Organization doesn't want Xemnas to be the leader and the other half is loyal. Get all the betrayers in one room, agreeing and you got a rrebellion forming."

Riku smiled. "I get it. If we can turn them against each other, it will save time and energy."

Axel chuckled. "Now your getting it. All we need now is a little help and this might just work."

Riku looked at him. "Help? Who would help...oh. That help. Think he'll do it?"

Axel smiled and opened a Corridor to Darkness. "He is your best friend after all," he said and walked in. Riku followed him, excited.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hollow Bastion-Castle Postern

Sora walked down the stairs. Donald, Goofy, Kairi and King Mickey trailing behind him. "Aw, cheer up Sora. We'll find him," Donald said running up beside him.

"Gawrsh, Riku can't be that hard to find. We've already looked everywhere," Goofy added on the keyblade master's other side.

Sora turned around and Kairi and Mickey nodded to him in encouragement. "You guys are right. I'll never find him if we just stand here and do nothing."

"Or maybe you will," a voice said from behind them. A figure appeared, wearing an Organization XIII coat with the hood up.

Sora pulled out his keyblade. "We don't have time for you guys."

The figure chuckled. He sounded so familiar. "I think you'll make time," he said and a keyblade appeared in his hand.

Sora didn't even pay attention but charged at him, keyblade raised. The figure moved with speed, dodging his every move, like he knew what Sora was going to do before he even did it.

The figure nailed Sora hard sending him backwards towards Kairi and the others. sora fell to one knee, panting. "Giving up already? C'mon Sora. I thought you were stronger than that."

Sora looked up and his eyes widdenned. "And the light turns on," the man said laughing.

"Riku! You're here! I was looking for you everywhere," Sora shouted and ran up to his best friend.

Riku turned away from him, keeping a few feet bewteen them. "Sora...something has happenned...to me," he said.

Sora looked at him confused. "What are you talking about? You're here, that's all that matters."

Riku sighed and turned back around. He lowered his hood, revealing his changes appearance. "This time it's for good," he said looking at them.

The group walked up and stood beside Siora. "Riku, what happenned?" Sora asked, still looking at him.

Riku sighed and turned away from them. "A lot's happenned, Sora. As for my...change, that was Xemnas. It's more than my appearance," he said turning back around.

Kairi walked up so she was beside Sora. "Riku, you seem different. I don't know what it is though."

Sora nodded. "Yeah. Like more...I don't know."

Riku shook his head. "I know. It was Xemnas. He applified my abilities, as he called them. I'm not sure exactly what that means but every time I feel a negative emotion like anger, it happens around me."

Sora was lost. "It happens? What happens?"

Rikiu chuckled and searched for his emotions. He focused his thoughts on Xemnas, the one who gave him the gift. Black flames flew out of the ground, surrounding him. He calmed himself down and the fire disappeared.

Sora took a step back and looked around. "Whoa."

Riku smiled. Way to keep it simple Sora. He sighed. "Anyway, I didn't come to you for a demonstration. I came for your help."

Now it was Sora's turn to smile. "I thought you were too cool for help? Not a 'total sap' were your exact words," he said laughing.

Riku laughed too. "Well, I guess your right but I wasn't the one who thought of it i nthe first place. Axel did, surprisingly."

Sora jumped. "Axel? He's alive?" he said a little more happy than what he should have been.

Riku rolled his eyes. "Yes and it's all great but about that help. What I need you to do, is be bait."

Sora looked at him. "Bait? I'm not a worm, you know."

Riku chuckled. "It won't involve you being in any danger, unless you don't defend youself. What we're going to do, is place you in a position where half the Organization thinks they can use you and where the other half thinks they can use me. And if they start fighting each other, than we just leave and watch the show from home," he explained.

Sora smiled. "That's crazy. Alright. Where are we going to pull off your amazing plan?"

Riku smiled and opened a Corridor to Darkness. "Somewhere you'll find very familiar. Well, technically, you shouldn't but who knows how Namine's magic works," he said and walked through.

Sora, Kairi, Mickey, Donald and Goofy followed him. They emmerged at the front of a huge castle that looked twisted. Around them was nothing but the emptiness of space.

Sora looked up and down at it. "This place seems...familiar but I've never been here before."

Riku laughed and started walking towards the front gate. "Actaully, you have been here. This was where you lost all your memories, than Namine put them back for you but you had to forget everything that happenned in this castle. This is also where I defeated Xehanort's heartless and met Ansem the Wise for the first time. This is Castle Oblivion."

 

Interesting... I really like the last paragraph. You're good, think you could comment on my story?

 

Sure! Could you post the link here? Thanks! Anyway, we last left off at Castle Oblivion...

Chapter 9

Riku walked into the castle, Sora beside him and the others trailing behind. As the group walked in, the doors behind them shut. Donald and Gofy tried pushing them open, but they wouldn't budge.

Riku looked aorund, confused. "Axel! You told me that we would be able to leave any time!" he shouted. Sora was about to say something when a Corridor to Darkness appeared.

"Geez, you're no fun," Axel said, stepping through it. "Chill out, Riku."

Riku growled in anger and flames circled around them. Axel laughed coldly. "That is one thing you shouldn't do: trust someone you don't know completely. Think about it, dark boy. This was all a set-up. Me, betray the Organization? Yeah, right," he laughed again and disappeared through another corridor.

Riku calmed down. "I can't believe it..." he muttered to himself. "I actually trusted that canieving little-"

Sora stopped him there. "Take it easy. We'll find a way out, no problem."

Riku laughed at his enthusiasm. "You really don't remember, do you?" Sora looked at him confused. "Sora, you've-"

"No more info, Riku," a girl's voice said and a bright flash of light blinded them.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When Riku could see again, he saw that it was only him and Sora in the room. He looked around, confused. "Where is everyone?" he shouted at the figure that had appeared.

"Back home. We didn't need them. Only you two," a female's voice said and she lowered her hood. It was Larxene.

Sora looked up. "Who-"

Larxene cut him off. "Wow, talk about stu-pid," she said rolling her eyes. "You've been here before, little keyblader. In this very room you stood, yelling at me to tell you where Namine was."

Sora was lost. "Namine? Isn't that Kairi's Nobody?" he asked, looking at her.

Larxene shoook her head. "Of course it is but that's not the point. You had your memory erased of this place but your friend here didn't, did he? This was probably the funnest place of his dark life," she said, knowing that she was getting to them.

Riku pulled out his keyblade. "Shut up!" He jumped high in the air, bringing it down but Larxene had teleported to another part of the room.

"Tsk, tsk. You've gotten slower. Or maybe I've gotten better? Either way, I'd be careful, Riku." Riku looked at her, surprised she would give him a warning. "What you fear is here. He is chained to the castle since you defeated him and boy is he mad," Larxene finished and vanished leaving them with cold thoughts.

Sora turned to his friend. "Riku? What did she mean, 'the one you fear'?"

Riku didn't answer. His eyes were wide, looking at the ground. "No...it can't be. I've won. He's gone," he said to himself and a blue card came down from the cieling.

Sora loked at it. "A card? Riku, what's going on?"

Riku grabbed the card and looked at the picture. It showed The World That Never Was. "These cards show parts of our memories. When we go through that door," he pointed to the door ahead of them. "We're stepping into the world of our past," he said and walked up to it.

Sora followed, still confused.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 10

They entered the world and instantly, Riku knew it was from his memory. He looked up at the sky and saw Kingdom Hearts floating high above. His breath stopped as he saw the lightening storm sotp and lights fall across the sky and he knew which memory it was.

Sora trailed and looked around. "Riku? Why are we here? We destroyed this place, didn't we?"

Riku didn't answer but walked out of the alley-way. They stood at Memory's Skyscraper. Riku turned away; he couldn't bare to watch the scene that changed his life. Sora watched though.

Roxas, Sora's Nobody was lying on the ground, on his back. A somewhat younger Riku stood at his feet. He wore an Organization XIII cloak and had a black cloth over his eyes. He threw Oblivion on the ground, beside the Nobody.

Roxas stood up weakly and slashed at Riku but he was to fast and jumped backwards. Riku sent a blast of dark energy at him but Roxas slashed through it, hitting down.

Riku jumped out of the way again. "Quit fooling around!" Roxas said angerly.

Riku shrugged. "What's wrong, Sora? Are you done already? Pretty pathetic."

Roxas looked at him. "What are you talking about? You're the one who's loosing!" He put a hand on his mouth, wondering what made him say that.

Riku smiled. "Yuo really are his Nobody. I guess I have to trust DiZ," he said finality.

"Why do you keep talking about him?! I'm myself!" he shouted mad. Oathkeeper appeared in his other hand. "I'm me!" Roxas jumped in the air and slahed down. Riku dodged but the Nobody hit him with the other keyblade sending him skidding back a few feet.

Riku fell to one knee. "You can't beat me, no matter how much you try!" roxas said confidently.

Riku nodded. "I guess so. Looks like I have to do it..."

Roxas looked confused. "Do what?"

Riku stood up slowly. "The power sitting in my heart...The power surpressed by my heart," he took off the cloth over his eyes. "If I were to become someone else."

Riku yelled as a black tube of darkness surrounded him. In his place stood the body of Xehanort's heartless, Gaurdian behind him. Roxas took a step back but Gaurdian had already grebbed him. "The power of darkness," he finished and the scene blurred as everyone vanished.

Only Sora and the real Riku stood there now. Riku almost lost it. Sora turned to his best friend, the one who he thought fought against the darkness, not given in to it. "Riku..."

Riku couldn't look at him. He took off out of the alleyway and through a door at the end. Sora stood there, unsure of what to do.

 

Oooo... very good, very good! ::claps:: I liked how you put in the scene between Riku and Roxas. :D

I loved it! But I could only get the first couple links. The rest said "No specified thread" or something like that. Anyway, great story! I was thinking...should I make a sequel to this, after this story is done of course. Just a question. Either way, here's chapter 10. I'm going to have to go back and forth between Sora and Riku now, just so my dear readers don't get confused.

Chapter 10

Riku

Riku ran through the door and appeared on the next floor of the castle. He stopped running and looked around. The room seemed to have an erie glow to it.

"How amusing your problems are," a voice said out of nowhere. A Corridor to Darkness appeared and Zexion stepped out of it.

Riku pulled out his keyblade. "Move it, Zexion. I don't really need a lecture today. Now, tell me wher Xemnas is!" he demanded.

Zexion shook his head. "Now is that any way to treat a comrad? Not very pleasent today are we, Riku?"

Riku's eyes narrowed. "Like you even care? I don't have time for this. I need to see Xemnas, now!" he shouted angerly and flames sprouted from the ground as a result form his emotions.

Zexion shrugged. "You're right. I don't care what you think. But how you act, that's a different manner," he said with a smile.

Riku looked at him confused. "What are you smiling about?" he asked angerly.

Zexion pointed behind him. Riku turned around and the last thing he saw was a blast of lightening before he hit the ground.

Sora

Sora walked towards the door, feeling concern for his friend when a Corridor to Darkness appeared behind him.

"So you are the keyblade master?" a voice said from him. Sora turned around just in time to see a huge sword like thing come his way. He ducked just in time rolling out of the way. The man who had tried to hit him and short brown hair and carried a thick sword-like thing that looked more like a wall. It was black and red also.

"How are you?" Sora asked, pulling out his keyblade.

The Organization member smiled confidently. "That's not important, Sora. You're coming with us, whether you want to or not."

Sora sraised his keyblade. "Yeah, right. There is no way I'm going with-" he stopped short as a pain came form the back of his head. Someone had hit him hard and he fell to the ground, unconscious.

 

I'm glad your liking it so far... that's prob b/c of the threads getting smashed together there should be one thread with all the chapters. Hmmmm.... it was short but good. I can't wait to see what happens next. And sequel? Sure, but it really all depends on how you end your story in my opinion.

Here's some errors I found:
""How" are you?" Sora asked, pulling out his keyblade.
Should be who.

Sora "sraised" his keyblade.
You added a s to raised.

 

Yeah...I wasn't very awake when I wrote that post wasn't I? Anway, tonight I hope to finish this story and give you guys a peak at the sequel to this. I need a name for the sequel too, so a little help is needed. Thanks my dear readers.

Chapter 11​

Riku's eyes fluttered open. I swear, if someone knocks me out again, I'm going to get a concusion, he thought angerly. He tried to move but his arms and legs were chained but wiht what, he wasn't sure. It was like he was floating in air.

Riku looked around now and the sight wasn't pretty. He was in a huge cirular room that had pillars with intricate designs on them. The room was painted white and had the nobody symbols around the room and a huge one was painted on the floor.

Before, he could see anything else, a Corridor to Darkness appeared and Zexion stepped out. "Well, you seem to be very comfortable," the Nobody mocked.

Riku squirmed trying to get free. "What have you guys done with Sora?" he asked.

Zexion shook his head. "I was really hoping you wouldn't ask that question. It will break my heart to tell you this but wait, I don't have one so I can tell you anyway," he said, snapping his fingers.

Another Corridor appeared and Sora stepped out. Riku was excited to see him but it didn't look very much like Sora. It was the eyes that really threw him. He had no pupil in his eye. they were just blue with no happiness or anything shown in them. He also seemed to have a sort of...controlled appearance.

Riku glared at Zexion. "What did you do to him?" he snapped and black flames started to rise around him.

Zexion smiled. "You must really be stupid." He snapped his fingers again and Larxene appeared in the room. Riku recoiled in fear but Zexion merely shrugged and...but his hand through her?

Riku watched as Larxene's image faded like a recording. "Very convincing, don't you think?" Zexion said, admiring his work. "All this time, you believed that the Organization had returned when actually, I have been alive the entire time while my magical creations have been doing my bidding."

Riku was confused. "But, they're solid? And if you aren't dead, than why does your pannel with the other members glow red instead of blue?"

Zexion sighed, disappointed. "Actually, my pannel was broken, so there is a possibility that it would show red, wouldn't it? And as for my creations being solid, well that is the power of magic," he said and vanished.

"You kids have fun now and Sora? You have full permission to kill him," the Nobody's voice said and Sora pulled out his keyblade.

Riku felt the bonds holding him disappear and he dropped to the ground, landing on his feet. Instantly, sora was upon him. The Way to Dawn appeared in Riku's hand just in time for him to block the attack.

"Sora, stop!" he shouted blocking another strike. The keyblade master didn't reply but kept on attacking. "Why don't you recognize me?" Riku shouted and slashed at Sora's heels making him back off.

"Don't you remember your friends? Tidus, Wakka?" Riku said, trying to break the spell. Sora jumped high and brought down the keyblade. Riku raised his in defence but the attack was so strong that his keyblade fell out of his hands.

Riku fell to his knees and Sora put the keyblade at his neck. Riku looked up, not believing that this was how it would end. "Wait! Do you remember Kairi? You're light?" he asked in one last attempt.

A light clicked in Sora's eyes. "Kai-" he started and dropped his keyblade. Sora put two hands on his head, feeling a pain exploding from his mind.

Riku stood up. "Yes! Kairi!" he said excited and picked up his keyblade just to be safe.

Sora shook his head. "Uh...what? Where am I? The last thing I can remember is getting hit with something," he said weakly.

Zexino appeared in front of them. "Well, you seem to have fooled me again, Riku. Well, I hope you enjoy your life becuase it ends here," he said and a large book appeared in front of him.

Chapter 12

Sora also picked up his keyblade and the two of them charged. Riku slid to the ground, knocking Zexion off balance by kicking him at the back of his legs. Zexion stumbled which was more than enough time for Sora to bring his keyblade down on him. He missed but hit the book instead.

Zexino backed off, wide eyed. "No! This can't be possible," he shouted and started to fade.

Riku stood up straight. "Don't mese with our worlds than," he smirked and the Nobody faded away, as did the remains of the book.

Sora walked up to his friend. "Oh yeah, forgot to tell you. Zexion wasn't real either. He left part of his spirit in his book befor ehe was killed. Found that out when you ran off," he said proudly.

Riku turned away from his best friend. "Sora, I can't go back."

Sora looked at him, confused. "Why not?"

"Look at me," Riku replied turning around. "How am I supposed to face everyone? I'm just some...some castaway of the darkness," he said staring at the floor.

Sora smiled to him. "Riku, remember a few eeks ago, when I found out that you were in the form of Ansem. I didn't care than, neither did Kairi. Did you think I went looking for you, expecting to find you exactly the way you were?"

Riku smiled, knowing that sora was trying to cheer him up. Sora smiled back, knowing that his words were helping. "Riku, people don't care about what you look like, or what you can do, they care about you because you're a good person and because you're a good friend."

Riku nodded. "Alright, Sora. You're starting to make my eyes water," he said laughing.

sora laughed. "That's great. But uh...how are we suppose to get home?" he asked looking around.

Riku smiled. "Well, that's an easy one," he said and a Corridor to Darkness appeared in front of them. "Sora?"

Sora turned to him. "Yeah?"

"Let's go home. Hopefully for good this time."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kairi paced the island, wondering happenned to her best friends when a familiar voice shouted, "Kairi! We're home!" The princess of heart whipped aorund and Sora jumped into her arms. They kissed and after a few seconds, they looked in the direction that Sora had come from.

There stood Riku, in his casual clothes, hair still having black in it and his eyes still purple.

Sora and Kairi ran over to him and there was a long silence. Riku broke it. "Okay...maybe I can deal with boring for while," he said and the three laughed.

Kairi but her hands on her hips. "Serves you right! Running off on some adventure!" she shouted angerly. Riku didn't know what to say. "Without taking us with you," she finished with a smile.

Riku chuckled. "Well, hopefully there won't be adventures for a while. I'd like a week's vacation after two years of being home for a week."

Sora laughed. "Well, this time, we're going to have to practise, just in case."

Riku looked at him surprised. "Why? So I can kick your sorry butt?"

"Yeah right? As I recall, I beat you just an hour ago."

"I thought you couldn't remember anything?"

"Did I say that?"

Riku laughed and Sora and Kairi started walking towards their boats. He looked at the horizon to see the sun rising. Maybe being someone of the dark, doesn't mean that you act like a bad guy. Maybe what you are, doesn't determine how you act. If I am meant to be someone of the dark...then so be it. Someone needs to be around to be negative.

THE END​
