Turn to Darkness...

I will work on the plot a little more and also make it more descriptive. Thank you all for reviewing this story. Now for the chapter...enjoy.
Sora's POV
The room was dark....The spotlight shining above me. The chains pulling me down and the pain in my belly got worse. The wound had healed yes, but it hurt really badly still. The dark doors opened once again and Riku was there with Sephiroth, still in his cloak. The hood over his long grey hair. The room filled with evil feeling and very, very creepy. Sephiroth came in very slowly a long with Riku. Riku with his all so powerful keyblade that unlocks peoples hearts was in his hand in a very tight grip as he entered. He had the clothes that he usually wore, those strange looking pants that tied to his belt, the shoes that looked so cool, and his shirt that yellow shirt with the two black straps that went and tied to his stomach area. His silver hair glistening in the light as he stepped closer to where I was tied to the cold ground.
"Have you decided who's side you are on? I wish you would help us, Sora. After all you are the keybearer and use to be my friend.", Riku said with his cold looking green eyes. Staring right into my blue innocent looking eyes.
"I still am your friend, Riku. I just don't understand what has come over you. I thought you weren't easily taken by darkness. What made you change, Riku?", I said.
"I have my reasons, traitor.", Riku said as he motioned Sephiroth to leave the room.
Sephiroth left the room and shut the door behind him. It was Riku and me now. In this dark room with the spotlight coming from above.
"Where am I...What have you done with my friends, Riku?", I asked looking at Riku.
"You are where all darkness lies, the Castle of the Dark. A lonely place isn't it...not fit for much. It use to be a castle of light and happiness, but the people got taken by the heartless and never returned to the castle. You and your friends, Sora are trapped. Goofy and Donald are in the main Dungeon and are guarded by the heartless. No one can get to them now, and you are the only one to help open the door."
"What are you saying? Tell me Riku...What door?", I asked. "Is it the door to the dungeon that I must open to rescue them?"
"No, Sora. The door is only opened by you and me. We can save the other worlds and have them secure.", Riku said with a smile. "This door will make me very happy to open. There is a beast and a master in their trapped. The legendary beast, that no one knows who they are, or how powerful they are. You must help me, Sora. Together we can surpass the darkness."
"What? You want me to help you....but why open the door to darkness?"
"Do not question it, Sora!", Riku said. "Join me and we can rule over the worlds. The door is sealed, yes. Having it here makes it seem like it will happen all over again. The door will become unlocked by someone eventually anyway."
I thought, "What is, Riku trying to do here. He knows if we let the darkness out it will overpower us all." I then looked up at his smiling face, so eager awaiting my answer to this situation. I knew that he wanted me for some reason, but why to open this dark door?
I then got my thoughts back in order and told him, "Riku...I will never help you open the dark door. I will not be used for darkness." I felt like I shouldn't had said that, and I would have been right. Just as I said that Riku took his black keyblade and where my scratch from earlier had healed, he went deeper in the scar and made my wound worse. The feeling was so unbearable, like a hurt that won't stop hurting inside.
"Ahhhhh!", I cried out in the room. The blood came flowing out like a hose of flowing water. It slowly came out. The chains that kept me from fighting back felt heavier. My chest felt like it would give way any second and I would fall apart. I hung my head as I felt dizzy again. Then Riku was standing over me. I was on my knees trying to get my breath back. I panted like a dog for a little bit when Riku said, "Are you going to come with me, Sora?"
I caught my breath and stated, "I shall never help you open that door...ah...Riku!"
He then gave me more pain, by swinging his blade right down my right arm.
"Ahhhhhh....RIKU!", I said yelling as the blood came from my arm. He tore his blade right through almost to the bone in my arm. Pain was so unbearable now, I felt so sore. I was losing blood fast now, from my chest and arm it couldn't hurt any worse...could it?
Riku asked me again, "Will you join me, and open the dark door?"
I looked with the coldest look I could give him and said, "....Never...ah....Riku....I shall never open that door for you!"
With that said, Riku took the keyblade and stuck it straight onto my bleeding chest. He practically broke my rib cage. I felt so much pain, I could hear some of my ribs breaking from the harsh blow.
"RIKU! AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!", I could barely breath, but I managed to yell out. After that blow I couldn't catch my breath at all. My eyes were tearing from so much pain. I felt like I needed a respirator to keep me alive now. I could barely talk now. The pain of broken bones and blood was the hardest feeling I have ever felt in my entire life. I managed to at least say something to him, "Riku.....I ....uh....can...'t...br...ea..the.....why....do....you ...want ....me...to....open...the.....door?" I said huffing and puffing the whole time while speaking.
Riku looked down at me and said, "To get rid of it....the Darkness forever from this world and all worlds. The door is what holds the darkest creatures and maybe a friend from the past. Sora we could live in a peaceful place. Please join me to open the door and all you wounds will be healed."
Riku had given a good offer, but I knew that he was using reverse psychology to trick me into getting that door open. I was still not breathing very well and could only whisper now. I thought I was going to die. My heart was slowing down. The blood lost was so much, it was on the floor in a puddle now. My knees were in the puddle of blood. I couldn't feel much of my chest anymore, or my arm for that matter. I felt like every part of my body was hurting in some way. I got enough breath to say to Riku, "Please.....I......can't.......breath.....Help.......me.....Riku!"
"I will help you under one condition. If you open the door with me. Sora if you don't, the heartless will return later and the worlds will be in trouble once again."
"...If....the....Dark....door...isn't.....opened....the....heartless....won't.....come.....anyway...so...why....open...it?", I asked. Still in great amount of pain. The chains on my arms were growing incredibly heavier. I felt most of my strength draining from me.
Riku looked like he wanted to help me, but wanted me to join the dark side first to open the dark door. I knew that he just wanted me to fight a long side of him, but why does he hurt me so? This thought kept running through my mind. He then asked me again.
"Help me open the dark door. I don't want to give you more pain, but you leave me with no choice. Sora, just join me, and you will have no more pain."
"Riku......" I said, "You...know....what I am.....going...to...answer...you."
"Sora.....Just join me! If you don't ....more pain to you will come."
"Never!" I said. I knew more pain would come, but I will never be on the dark side.
"So you want more pain....", Riku said. Closing his eyes he took his keyblade and went to the bone on my left arm.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" I screamed as loud as I could. It wasn't much of a scream, but I couldn't take much more of this. More blood that was still left in my body, was just about gone. I couldn't think anymore, I could barely even move. The chains were so heavy now and my arms were going to fall off with the weight of them.
Riku was going to bring his keyblade down on me one again. Then He looked at me and said,
"What am I doing?" He then almost hit me, but he missed. He then figured out what was going on and said, "Sora....please! I want to help you! I am not controlling my body, Sora!", Riku yelled, "I want to control my body again....PLEASE STOP THIS!"
Riku flung his keyblade around and tried to control it. He looked ridiculous flinging his blade around in the air.
"Riku....I......ahhh......feel.....so....cold......", I said. My heart was slowing. What was happening to me? I felt as if the next breath was my last. I watched as Riku dropped the keyblade, fell to his knees, and held his hair like he was going mad.
"Riku.....what.....are .....you...saying?"
"Get out! Please! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!", Riku screamed with tears streaming out from his eyes. He was in such madness, he couldn't bear it much longer.
"......I.....uh.........", I said my breath was very light. I could feel all the pain going away, and my eyes were closing.
"Sora! Don't die! No don't close your eyes yet!", Riku yelled as I started fading and my sight was blurring very fast. I couldn't feel the blood or the floor anymore. I fell to the ground.
Riku's POV
I finally got a hold of my actions, just as Sora was falling to the ground.
"Sora! NOOOOOOO!", I said running over to him. I caught him just before his face hit the ground.
"Sora, please don't go yet. I have come to my senses, and I am sorry if I caused you so much pain."
"So you were being controlled....but by who?", Sora asked with the lowest voice.
"The dark Sephiroth took control over me. I didn't know he would lead me to torturing you. I am sorry, Sora. I want to help you....but I really think opening the dark door will keep the heartless from ever coming back to haunt us again. I just don't want to see you like this, Sora." I took off my yellow shirt and wrapped it around Sora's chest. Then I tore my blue right pant leg and put it around Sora's right and left arms. "You will be alright now, Sora. We will defeat the darkness."
I then looked at Sora and realized he had stopped breathing. Tears filled my eyes. "No, Sora! Not yet. I WON'T LET YOU DIE!"
Kairi's POV
Mickey and I were flying in the gummi ship. The way to fly a gummi ship was to use a kind of joystick looking thing. Mickey was flying it like he had been flying this forever. The universe looked like it went forever. It felt like hours of flying in nothing but stars.
"Where are we going?", I asked, "Are we almost there?"
"We are going to rescue Sora, Goofy, Donald, and Riku. I have had this feeling that we might be too late to where they went. I think that everyone is at the mysterious world in the darkest part of the universe. I have never been there, so I am not sure when we will be there.", Mickey said.
"UH.....", I said holding my heart. "Mickey something is wrong!"
"Kairi, what is it?"
"I feel my heart hurting for someone....Sora? Is that you I feel with me?"
I closed my eyes and standing before me in a dark room with a light shining above. I saw Sora, in the horrid chains. Riku was there too, but was crying over Sora's body. Then Sora's spirit came out of his body and came over to me.
"Kairi!", Sora said smiling. "You came back to me. I was wondering when you would come."
"Me too.", I said. "Are you really dead, is this really what you are now?"
"Huh...I am a ghost?!", Sora said looking at himself with a surprised look. "Uh...Kairi. I want to let you know that you and Mickey are in real danger here. Sephiroth has taken over Riku and have given me such pain. That is why he is crying over my lifeless body."
"Where are you boys at? I have never seen such a dark place."
"It is the Castle of Darkness. It use to be a castle of light, but the heartless came here after the door to the light was locked tight. Riku told me that. I must go Kairi...I hope you arrive soon. We need you."
"I need you, Sora. Don't leave!"
"I am just going back into my body to be alive again, but I feel that I might not be for long. Unless Riku helps out."
I watched as Sora flew back to his lifeless body. I saw Riku over Sora crying so many tears.
I called out to Riku, "Riku!"
Riku somehow heard me. He got up and saw me. "Kairi...what is it?"
"Sora needs more than those clothes on him. He needs to be taken care of by a doctor or a person that knows how to treat people.", I said.
"I will find some way to help him.", Riku vowed.
"I must go, but Sora will be fine. He is back in his body as we speak. Go and help him. I will be there later to help with King Mickey."
"Right.", Riku said running over to Sora.
I then felt my presence leave there and I opened my eyes. Mickey was still driving and was trying to understand what was going on. "Uh...Kairi. What's going on?"
"I talked to Sora and Riku. They are in a place called The Castle of Darkness.", I told Mickey. I also told him what was going on over there and my experience there.
"Well, Kairi. It looks to me that we will need more than just what we have now. Maybe we should go to get more help and get some stuff before going to The Castle of Darkness.", Mickey said.
"No! We must get there as soon as possible!", I stated. "Sora is in trouble!"
"You said yourself that Riku was there. Sora will be fine.", Mickey said with a smile. "Don't worry, Kairi."
What will happen next....only the next chapter will tell.
