" Sora! No!" the silverette keyblade wielder yelled as his best friend hit the ground. While avoiding the repetitive attacks from Xemnas, the teen made his way over to where Sora laid motionless. " Sora! Get up! Please get up! You cant die on me now! You just cant!" The normally calm, collected teen was now was in tears, crying out for Sora as a small child might for its mother.
" Ah. Yes, weep over the fallen keyblade master. Let if feed your anger." Xemnas taunted. " Riku, there is no hope. Even if you defeat me and escape, you will live knowing that you where his only hope, and you couldn't save him. What are you going to tell poor Kairi?" Riku froze. He had forgotten about Kairi. His momentary freeze up gave Xemnas the chance he had hoped for. Xemnas lashed out at Riku, knocking him onto his back. Riku quickly recovered, unleashing a rapid chain of intense attacks.
Finally Xemnas fell, fading away as Nobodies do. Riku watch as the last survivor of the Organization faded away. Then he remembered Sora. Forgetting all about his victory, he ran back over to where the Keyblade master laid. Tears formed in his eyes as he stared down at Sora. Nothing would ever diminish this pain. The pain of knowledge… knowing that he was Sora's only hope…and he didn't save him. Suddenly there was another being in the room. His other best friend, Savone, entered the room with great enthusiasm.
"Lets go Guys, I found us a way outta here… whoa… what happened?" her voice trailed off. "Riku…" That was all she managed to say before the silver haired teen threw his arms around her, sobbing uncontrollably. All she could do was hold him close. She had never seen Riku like this… but then again Sora had never been dead before. "Riku… please stop crying… what happened?" she asked him gently.
"Xemnas… Sora… I-I-I didn't make it in time…" Riku choked out.
"Ok Riku, Listen to me." Savone said, looking into Riku's eyes. " It's not your fault. And you know Sora wouldn't want you to continue thinking it is." Riku stared at her with a sad and knowing look on his face. " C'mon, lets get outta here"
" Should we take Sora's body…?" Riku asked, taking another look at his dead friend.
" I'm thinking not… you how Kairi's gunna act anyway, lets not give her a visual."
"Uh... Right… good idea…"
" Let's go." Savone grabbed Riku's hand and took off running before Riku could give any new protest.
