Here's my entry for story of the week! 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 a lot of each other 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 thwarting 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." 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 2 Destiny 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 angrily, 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 turn. "Show yourself, 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 happening, the Savage Nymph hit him it the back. His keyblade slipped from his fingers, hitting the ground and he was unconscious before he even hit the ground. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 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 computer he had been typing on. "Yes, and all vital signs are functioning normally. It's like nothing happened..." 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, examining 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 angrily. "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 acknowledge their presence but focused on Riku. "You are...different. You reek 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 hiding behind that hood and come out, Xehanort," he said angrily. The man lowered his hood, and Xemnas stood, orange eyes flashing. "I would talk nice to me, Wielder of Twilight." Riku glared angrily. "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 disappeared. They nodded and Riku felt a surge of pain run through his body. And than it was black... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Chapter 3 The World That Never Was: Xemnas' Room 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 stomach, sending him to his knees. "It's time you realized 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 weird...dream?" he said and looked around the room he was in. He was laying 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, unable 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 spikier and had black steaks running through it. Riku looked in the mirror, unable to accept what was happening. 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." Riku's eyes narrowed, 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, analyzing 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 finished 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 contacting 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 you’re done destroying 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.
