Chapter One
Riku woke up to darkness. The last thing he could remember was finding Sora on the islands during a bad storm. Everything else was a blank. He stood up and began to wander into the darkness.
"This place, what is this?" questioned Riku to himself. It seemed hours that he wandered the endless abyss. Suddenly, he came upon a large door. The door swung open and leaked dark fog across the ground. Dark creatures emerged from the fog and attacked him. Riku threw his arms out, and a weapon appeared in his hands. The creatures hesitated for a second, and charged again. Riku charged into the ambush, slashing and slicing all over, but could not hit one. One of the creatures leaped and slashed his arm, leaving bloody wounds. He began to attack it, but one caught his back and left more wounds.
'There're too many, I can't fight all these at once!' thought Riku as more grabbed his legs and arms, holding him down. He struggled to break free, but the more the more he struggled, the more jumped on him to hold him down and to make matters worse, his blood lose made him dizzy and weak. But the next thing he knew, a powerful wave of energy blasted the creatures away.
'Did…did this weapon do that?' thought Riku. As he looked up, the creatures were merging to one. As the mass grew, the more the air around Riku seemed to increase in pressure and in seconds, he was staring down an enormous, dark monster. The pressure of the air was so strong, it brought Riku to his knees. Then, the creature drove it's fist into the ground and leaked black and purple fluid while the shockwave sent Riku flying. The fluid began to circulate in the air and enveloped them. Riku charged up to the monster, leaped high, and ran a full body slash down its middle. The mighty beast staggered for a moment, but regained its footing. Then, it threw a large orb to the sky, and rained down a shower of black meteors. Riku was struck down several times by the meteors. He could barely stay up. Finally, he was KO by one final blow. Suddenly, a stranger leaped out of nowhere and slashed down the monster for good as it exploded into thousands of fragments. The fragments began to shake and expand. Realizing there was not much time left, the stranger picked up Riku, and carried him off.
