Rising Darkness

Normal Pov:

Dakrness:

Sora sat there and enjoyed the sound of the waves and the feel of the wind blowing through his hair. 'Maybe being in the dark isn't so bad and as long as my friends are safe, I don't min-.'

"Sora?"

Sora's thoughts were interrupted by his fellow companion of the dark and best friend, Riku. Sora looked at him with a questioning glance and an intelligent question of "hmm?"

Smiling, Riku held out a letter to Sora and said "I think its for you."

Wondering what it could be about, I grabbed the paper from Riku and began to read.

Thinking of you, wherever you are.

We pray for our sorrows to end,

and hope that are hearts will blend.

Now I will step forward to realize this wish.

And who knows?

Starting a new journey might not be so hard

or maybe it has already begun.

There are many worlds, but they share the same sky-

One sky, One destiny

-Kairi

As he finished reading the letter, Sora heard a soft sound like many bells ringing. He looked up to see a glowing doorway being formed in front of him.

Next to him, Riku looked towards the doorway and said a single word, "light."

Gazing at the door, Sora could only repeat what Riku had said, " The door to light." After a pause, he suddenly felt inspired and stood up with a smile on his face. Sora turned to Riku, held out his hand and said " We'll go together."

Riku looked up at Sora and smirked "yeah."

Taking his hand, Sora pulled him up and we walked into the door of light. As Riku passed through the light, he heard a fount sound of laughter in the dark.

Destiny Islands

Walking along the beach, Kairi thought about everything that just happened. 'After all that trouble of remembering Sora and finding Riku, I get separated from them again and end up back to the starting point of my journey.' Sighing, she kicked a rock along the beach and sadly thought, 'Will we ever get to see each other again?'

WHAM!

"Ow!" Holding her head, she looked at the person responsible for causing the pain she currently felt. " Why did you do that for Donald?"

Said wizard held his staff like a club with a determined looked on his face. "Kairi like I've told Sora before, there is no room for frowns in this group."

"Gosh, Donalds right Kairi" Surprised, she turned to the person who agreed with Donald.

" What do you think Sora and Riku will think when they finally get back and see how sad you are."

"I know that Goofy, but you have to understand I have been waiting for so long for them to come back. Then when I finally found them, I lose them again" She turned away so they couldn't see the tears that were starting to form in her eyes. Suddenly, she felt a small gloved hand grasp her hand in a comforting manner. She looked down to see Mickey with a warm smile on his face.

"Don't worry Kairi, as long as your hearts are connected you will see each other again."

"Yeah!" Donald chipped in with a smile on his face "Just hold on to that bond and when you finally see him, you can greet him with a smile."

"Yep" Goofy said with a laugh "Sora will be back before you know it."

"And don't forget that Sora Promised that you would see each other again" said Mickey.

' Their right, I should believe that I will see Sora and Riku again.'

"You guys are right, we will see each other again because Sora promised. That promise binds are hearts together and that will bring us together again." Smiling Kairi turned towards the ocean 'Sora, Riku, wherever you guys are, I'll be waiting for you guys here. When we finally meet, I'll greet you with a smile on my face.'

Suddenly, she saw a blue flash in the sky and two falling streaks land in the ocean. Seconds later Kairi saw Sora and Riku pop out of the ocean. She simply stared at the two with a stunned feeling and only a single thought running through her brain 'That was fast'. Snapping out of it she ran toward the ocean yelling " Sora, Riku!"

"Sora, Riku!" Turning towards the voice. Riku and Sora saw Kairi standing on the beach waving at them. Sora turned to Riku with an excited look on his face then began to swim towards the beach. With a short laugh, Riku followed Sora to the beach and arrived in time to see Donald and Goofy tackle Sora into the water. Before he could laugh at the funny seen before me, he caught a speeding blur flying at his head. Laughing, Riku set Mickey on the ground and smiled at Sora as he looked back at him with one of the happiest faces Rive had ever seen. Sora turned back to Kairi with a smile on his face and Riku watched as Kairi returned it with a smile and a giggle. Still smiling, Sora reached into his back pocket and brought out the pendant that Kairi gave him. He looked down at it with a smile on his face and looked back up at Kairi with an even bigger smile if possible. Suddenly, Riku saw Roxas and Namine in place of Sora and Kairi. Stunned, he simply stared at the two as they smiled at each other. Then the vision faded and it was Sora and Kairi again.

"W-We're back" said Sora with a smile on his face.

Reaching toward him, Kairi simply said "You're home"

As Riku watched the seen before him, he felt a dark tingle of jealousy and hate flowed through him.

A few days later…

Riku sat there at the usual hangout spot looking at the sunset and listening to the ocean. Behind him he heard Sora running across the bridge in his usual loud manner. Out of the corner of his eye, Sora jumped on the log and then in front of it. Leaning back, he put his behind his head and stared ahead at the sunset. Smiling Riku looked toward the sun and said "Nothings changed huh?"

"Nope" said Sora "Nothing ever will."

"What a small world"

"But" said Sora "Part of one that is much bigger."

Riku simply answered with a "yeah."

They sat there for a few seconds until Sora turned to Riku and asked "Hey Riku… What do you think it was… the door to the light."

Laughing, Riku jumped off my seat and turned to him with a smirk. He pointed his figure at Sora's chest and tapped it twice saying "This."

Sora looked down, then back up at Riku, and then down again with a confused look on his face. "This" while touching the same spot Riku pointed at.

"Yeah" He answered with a smirk planted firmly on his face " It's always closer than you think." A look of understanding came upon Sora's face and he smiled.

"Sora! Riku!" They both turned to see Kairi running up to them with a bottle in her hand.

She showed the bottle to Sora and he exclaimed "from the king" when he saw the symbol on the scroll. Quickly, he opened the bottle, took out the bottle, and opened the scroll. Riku and Kairi scooted in with the intent to read it when all of sudden they heard Selphie's cries for help coming from the middle of the island near the secret spot.

The first one to react was Kairi, she scrambled over the tree with a look of concern on her face for her friend. Sora and Riku took a quick glance at each other, decided the letter could wait for a later time, and took off after Kairi. When they came into view of the waterfall that hid the secret spot, they were greeted with the sight of heartless swarming out of it. Selphie, Tidus, and Wakka were under attack by the heartless and were putting up a weak resistance due to the heartless relentless attack. Riku summoned his key blade and charged at the group of heartless attacking his friends with Sora right behind me. "Kairi!" Riku yelled over his shoulder "Get to somewhere safe until we clear out all this heartless!" She hesitated, looking at her friends in danger, but decided to listen to Riku's advise. Riku focus was changed back onto the heartless, He dived into the group that was attacking his friends and got lost in the chaos of battle. They cut an opening into the group and Sora told them to run to Kairi. Once they were cleared of any danger, Sora and Riku turned their attention to destroying all the heartless.

Riku weaved between heartless, cutting down one after another. To his right he could hear Sora yelling "Take That!" and "Its Over!" Behind all this he could hear Kairi and the others cheering him on.

'I'm fighting too. Why does everyone only cheer on Sora and only see him?' Riku thought with a frown. Once again he felt the dark pull of jealousy in his heart.

As the battle stretched out, Riku began to worry about how the heartless never seemed to be shrinking in numbers but actually growing. Then, he remember how he saw all the heartless poring out of the secret spot when we first arrived. "Sora!"

"What Riku?"

"We have to get to the secret spot. That's where they are all coming from!"

Sora appeared behind me and said "Right behind you."

Side by side, they cut are way towards the entrance of the secret spot. As they got closer, they noticed that the heartless were definitely getting stronger. They were no longer fighting shadows but their evolved forms, Neoshadows. They slowed down considerably when they entered the secret spot. Neoshadows were bunched together and the small entrance did nothing to help. Finally, Riku and Sora pushed them back into the main area, and were able see a huge dark key hole with black tendrils of darkness moving around it.

They could see shadows dripping out of the keyhole in a huge mass of black ooze. "Sora! We got to seal that passage or our home will be overwhelmed by the heartless!"

Sora raised his key blade and pointed at the keyhole and light began to gather around him. "On it Riku."

,The heartless swarmed toward Sora to stop him from sealing the keyhole. Jumping in front of Sora, Riku raised his key blade and called on his dark shield to protect them from the heartless. The rolling wave of blackness smashed against his shield with enough force to send him skidding back. "Sora! Hurry up! I can't hold them off for long!"

Sensing Riku's urgency, Sora pointed his key blade at the keyhole and shot a beam of light at it. The keyhole flashed brightly as the beam hit it and they heard a sound like a door being locked. Riku sighed, 'good its finally over, now all we need to do is finish off the remaining heartless.'

"Uh, Riku" He turned towards Sora "yeah?"

Sora looked at Riku with a concerned look on his face "something's wrong with the heartless." Riku looked around to see what he was talking. All the Heartless were just standing there, looking at the keyhole in a trancelike state. Suddenly, they heard a ripping sound and turned to see the black substance around the keyhole split off from it as the keyhole disappeared. The dark orb floated above them and it began to absorb all the heartless in the area. Riku stabbed his key blade into the ground to stop himself from being pulled into the orb along with the heartless. The last of the heartless was absorbed and the orb began to pulse. With each pulse it grew bigger and began to form a giant humanoid shape. When it finished forming, a heartless that looked like darkside appeared. It had its general shape but was leaner and seemed to have blades along the back of its arm and hands. It looked like a giant neodarkside was born from the combination of all the other neoshadows.

The heartless flashed toward Sora and Riku and swung its bladed arm intent on cutting them in half. They rolled under its arm and its blades striking against the wall behind them. They turned to see one of its arms stuck in the wall. Riku turned to Sora "Sora! Be careful its much stronger than the other heartless." Sora got into a battle stance " I know that Riku, but no worries, I bet I can take it."

'There he goes again, always smiling and talking about how he can do everything.' Riku frowned at Sora " Don't forgot that I'm here too, you know." Sora laughed "Of course I know you're here Riku. Together there is nothing we can't defeat. This will be just like when we fought Xemnas." Sora turned back toward the heartless with a light heart. 'That's right. Riku is here fighting beside me. There is no way we can lose!' Riku stared at Sora happy face for a second with an unreadable expression. Silently, he turned his attention back on the heartless and got ready to fight.

The Heartless finally freed its arm from the wall and turned toward the key wielders. The key wielders sprinted toward the heartless weaving back and forth. The Heartless slashed its arms down in a attempt to cut them in half. The key wielders side stepped the attack and jump on separate arms. They used them as a springboard to deal a crushing double key blade blow to Neodarkside's head. It flew back and smashed into the wall and laid there momentarily stunned.

"Now" yelled Sora " lets finish it off before it gets back up." They quickly ran toward the heartless, swords drawn and aiming for a killing blow. The heartless surprised them when it spun like a top and struck out at the key wielders. Sora was barely able to draw in his attack and raise his key blade up to deflect the blow, but he was sent flying across the cave and smashed into the wall. Riku was less quick and received a glancing blow to his shoulder that sent him spinning away into the wall with a sickening crunch.

"Riku" yelled Sora as he stood up and looked to see if he was okay. When the dust cleared, it revealed Riku standing up as his left hand hung lifelessly with blood flowing down it. "I'm alright Sora" said Riku. Seeing the blood Sora began to panic " Okay! Riku you bleeding badly and it looks like your arm was broken!" Riku laughed and said " I've had worse and beside you should be focusing on our opponent right now." Sora stilled looked unconvinced but was unable to say anymore as the heartless suddenly roared. It smashed its arms into the ground and dark puddles began to form. Neoshadows began to rise out of the puddles as they grew.

Sora quickly chunked his key blade at the the giant heartless and struck it in the chest. The blow caused it to fall backwards causing the black puddles to dissipate. Sora recalled his key blade and blocked an incoming attack from the neoshadows that were just spawned. Riku was struggling against his opponents as the pain and blood lost slowly sapped his strength. Sora battle his way to Riku's side and casted curaga on his arm but nothing happened. "Why won't it work!" yelled Sora.

Riku grimaced " I don't know, but it seems like the wounds it causes are immune to light spells."

While Sora was trying to heal Riku, the giant heartless had regained its footing and bulldozed toward them destroying everything in its mad dash. Sora pushed Riku out of the way and then rolled in the opposite direction to avoid getting smashed. Neodarkside collided with the wall headfirst and ricochet off it. "Sora" yelled Riku " Our only chance to win is if you can a clean shot at it while its stunned."

"But how" asked Sora, "Its to fast"

" I got a plan just trust me. Run straight at it and aim directly for its head."

Sora silently looked at Riku for a moment then shook his head. "Alright"

Sora turned toward the heartless, raised his key blade, and charged straight at him full speed. The heartless roared at Sora and raised its fist to bring it crashing down right on top of Sora. Riku had summoned his dark shield to deflect the attack at the last moment and then used the last of his strength to throw his key blade hurling at the heartless. Sora felt the vibration of the fist striking the shield inches above his head and the air of Riku's key blade flying by his head, missing him by only a few inches. The blade struck the heartless in the legs causing the heartless to fall forward toward the upward slash of Sora's key blade. With a sickening sound, Neodarkside's upper body was split in half. The body began twitch uncontrollably and started to fade. When the last of the heartless disappeared, Sora yelled "We did it!" and turned toward Riku to celebrate.

Riku couldn't hold on anymore, the last thing he saw before it all went black was Sora celebrating and him turning towards him with a smile on his face.
