This is a somehow sequel to 'Stars on The Hill'

I do not own Kingdom Hearts 3


Darkness Over Truth, Truth Over Darkness

The storm has come, the darkness is near…

Riku stood, eyes dark, engulfed in darkness. He had accepted Maleficent's offer, seeing as how Sora had gotten new friends, forgotten about him and Kairi, for gotten about her. Then he will go on his own, protect his friends on his own, and he will find her on his own. Then Riku took out a feather-shaped pendant and held it tightly in his hand.

"Arianna…"

He will find her, with darkness or not, alive or not, he will find her. Riku tightens his grip on the pendant and disappeared in darkness.

The keyblade went back to Sora's hand, after he had proved his heart is stronger than Riku, leaving the latter dumbfounded and frustrated before he disappears.

"Riku…"

His head snapped upwards when he heard that voice, he could never forget that voice.

Her voice.

"Arianna!" Riku then caught a glimpse of someone running and quickly followed the figure. Suddenly Riku felt his consciousness slipping and saw a face he longed to see far from him.

"Arianna…" Riku said, smiling. But that smile soon turned into frown as he saw Arianna looked at him with fear in her eyes. Before he could speak, he had complete lost consciousness.

'Why are you looking at me that way?'

'I remember… I broke our promise, didn't I? I promised you I wouldn't fall into darkness… but now I am the darkness…'

'I don't want you to be scared of me… I never wanted you to…'

/

"Sora! Now! Take Kairi away from here!" Riku said, holding Ansem back.

"Riku!"

"Just go!" Riku yelled. Sora then gritted his teeth and pulled Kairi's hand, leaving Riku behind stalling Ansem.

"Why are you so stubborn? You have become the darkness! Give into it!"

"No! I was wrong! I lost everything because of it! I lost everything I cared for!" Riku said before Ansem began chuckling.

"What's so funny?"

"You mean that other girl, don't you? That girl who has that crystal blue eyes. She's already gone for a long time." Ansem said as Riky felt his heart beating faster.

"What do you mean?"

"I already threw her in the darkness, right after I had completely taken over you, boy. She is persistent, but at last, I have took her out from my way!" Riku's eyes widened as he gulped and tightened his fist.

"You… you killed her?"

"In a way, yes I did." Ansem said, laughing.

"Why you…!" Riku said before suddenly he became paralyzed as Ansem lifted his hand.

"Now say goodbye, boy."

Riku then woke up, finding himself surrounded by darkness. Riku stood up and looked around, seeing rocks and heartless around him as he quickly summoned his keyblade.

'Is this the door?'

"Stay focus, Riku! Eliminate as many heartless as you can!" Riku whipped his head around, hearing the familiar voice of the King's. Riku then quickly slashed the heartless that came towards him. Riku then saw something shining from the corner of his eyes and saw something falling to the ground. His eyes quickly widened, seeing the girl he's been searching for on the ground, holding a keyblade.

"Arianna!" Riku said, slashing the heartless blocking his way towards the girl and knelt towards her, holding her shoulders.

"Arianna! Are you alright?" The said girl opened her eyes and smiled when she saw Riku.

"Hey Riku…" Arianna said, sitting up with Riku's help.

"Arianna! Are you alright?" The king said.

"I'm alright, your highness, we have to keep stalling them until Sora closes this door." She said, standing up and held her keyblade tight.

"Why are you here, Arianna? Why are you in the door to darkness? You should be outside…" Riku said before he remembered what Ansem had said to him.

"Ansem didn't manage to kill me, but he manage to tire me. I am here, assisting the king and watching over Sora. My illness is cured, I will protect everyone from the heartless." Arianna said, slashing heartless. Riku then gripped his keyblade tight and stood behind Arianna.

"Let me help you then. It's the least I can do after what I've done." Riku said as Arianna smiled.

"Thank you." Then both Riku and Arianna heard Sora from the other side of the door and quickly ran towards it, hearing them trying to close the door.

"Sora! You have to close this door!" Riku said.

"Riku!"

"Come Sora! We have to close the door to darkness!"

"It's the king!" Donald and Goofy said happily. Riku then saw Sora's eyes widened.

"S-Sister…?" Riku turned his head around and saw Arianna smiling apologetically towards Sora.

"Take care, Sora… I'll be watching over you…" Arianna said, helping Riku pulling the door closed.

"But Sister! I've been looking for you everywhere!"

"I know, and I am sorry. It seems like we can't meet each other right now, take care of yourself Sora… and take care of Kairi too…"

"Take care of her, Sora…"

"And you better take care of my sister!"

"Goodbye, Sora…" Arianna said as the door closes with Sora and the King locked it from both side of the door. Riku then turned around and saw everything disappearing.

"Arianna!" Riku said when he saw Arianna's legs disappearing.

"See you soon, Riku… take care…" Arianna said, lifting her hand, as if trying to get to Riku. Riku quickly tried to grab her hand but it was too late as he grabs the air. Riku's eyes widened in horror, as he lost the one he cares for the most once again.

"Arianna!" Riku then saw his pocket glowing and took the feather pendant out. Riku watched the glowing pendant growing dimmer and held it tightly.

"I will find you once more, and then we'll go back together. I promise, Arianna."
