KH3 The Beginning of the End

Chapter 4 Life and Death

"Unngh," Riku groaned as he tried to open his eyes.

"He is awakening master," a voice said.

"Excellent, I'll be there in a few moments."

Riku finally managed to open his eyes. He tried to sit up but couldn't because he was strapped to a cold, metal table. Instead he raised his head and saw to girls standing side by side. One of them had short, straight black hair held in a blue clip with two blue highlights framing her face and emerald eyes. The other one had short, wavy chestnut hair with one red highlight and sapphire eyes. They were both wearing black organization XII ish robes (Hmmm). Just then a man wearing a similar black cloak with the hood up walked in. He stepped in between the two girls and put his hands on their shoulders.

"How do you like my two puppets?" he asked. "I myself think they are quite charming."

"What do plan on doing with them?"

"I plan on destroying your friends. I know they'll do a wonderful job, right Zixyz, Lerexia?" he said as he pulled down his hood.

"Xemnas!"

"I see you remember me. I have made an impression."

After their discussion with King Mickey, Sora and Kairi left for Twilight Town. When they arrived they were met by Hayner, Pence, and Oulette.

"It's great to see you guys," Sora said.

"It's great to see you too," said Hayner while Kairi peeked around Sora shyly.

"I'd like you to meet my friend Kairi."

"Hi," Kairi said.

"It's kind of weird," Pence said, "I feel like I've met you before, but I know that's not possible."

"So do I," Oulette said in a confused tone.

"Me too!" Hayner exclaimed.

"That is just too weird."

"You're probably wondering who they are. That one is Hayner, Pence, and Oulette," Sora said, pointing to each on in turn.

"You got here just in time," Oulette said, coming out of her trance first.

"Yeah, heartless are popping up everywhere."

"Well then, I had better get started."

"It is time for you to join our side, Riku," said Xemnas.

"I would never join you."

"You don't have a choice now do you?" he said as he stepped back.

Zixyz and Lerexia stepped forward, both glowing with energy. They raised their hands and then all Riku felt was pain.

"If you try to fight it," Xemnas said with a chuckle, "the pain will only get worse."

"I will never give in," Riku said through gritted teeth.

Xemnas just laughed.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Sora what's wrong?" Kairi asked when Sora stopped and put his finger to his temple.

"I don't know, I just feel really weird. Like something happened to someone important."

"Riku!"

"It could be anyone Kairi."

Kairi was about to say something but stopped when she saw the look on his face. He knew it was true; he just didn't want to believe it.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Now that the boy is under our control our plan will not fail."

The two robed figures represent me and my friend. I am soooooo cool. Not really.
