Epilogue 1

Riku just defeated his replica and went to see Namine. He climbed up a lot to get here His journey through Castle Oblivion was almost over. Since he joined forces with Mickey he knew what to do now. When he got close he saw a girl with blonde hair looking up at a pod in front of her. He looked inside the pod and saw Sora. "SORA." He yelled and ran at the pod.

The girl that was looking at Sora turned around and cast a bolt of lightning. "Who are… Riku?" She asked

"That's my name. Who are you?" Riku said summoning Soul Eater from the darkness.

"Larxene. Just call me that" Larxene said

"I'm supposed to be see another girl named Namine." Riku said looking around putting Soul Eater away. "Do you know where she is?"

Larxene sighed and went behind the pod. "He wants to see you." She said and a short girl with blonde hair a white dress and blue sandals walked out.

"Did you put Sora like that?" Riku asked

"Yes." Namine said "I messed with his memory and he wished to get his old ones back."

Riku then looked at Larxene who looked like she was about to cry. "What's wrong with you?" He asked

"I was going to be dating him after this was done. But he chose to get his old memories back. So he won't remember me." Larxene said and she started crying.

"I'm sorry." Riku said.

"You have a choice to Riku." Namine said trying to get back to the main point.

"Why? No one's messed with my memories." Riku said

"It's not your memories." Namine said

"It's your darkness." Larxene finished

"Will I sleep like that?" Riku asked knowing what would happen

"Yes." Namine said

"I will fight Ansem myself." Riku said after a few minutes of thinking

"But what if his darkness overtakes you?" Larxene asked knowing what that's like.

"She'll save me." He said as he looked at Namine. "She saved me when I was in that light"

"How did you know?" Namine said

"You and Kairi smell the same." Riku said

"And the creep factor on a scale from one to 10 is an 11. That's a new record" Larxene said

"Do you smell that?" Riku asked. :"It smells like a bad joke."

The three of them laughed. It felt good to laugh after what that group has been through.

"So what's next?" Namine said.

"I guess I go fight Ansem." Riku said.

"I should probably take off soon myself." Larxene said.

"Why's that?" Namine asked. "Your encounter should go like it did the first time you encountered him."

"I don't want that. If I died when we truly got together that would crush him. Also if we did get together it would crush her. Namine you know who I'm talking about." Larxene said and made her way out. "Good luck Riku."

"Where are you headed?" Riku said without looking at her.

Larxene thought for a moment, "I guess… wherever the road takes me."

"I shall do the same. If you see me tell me what you found out." Riku said

"Huh what do you mean?" Larxene asked.

"When you go where the road takes you, you discover more about yourself." Riku said. "Tell me what you find out shall we meet again."

"Of course. Goodbye Riku, Namine." She says normally then speaks sadly."Goodbye Sora." Larxene leaves without another word.

"Riku I'll help with whatever I can from here." Namine said.

"Thanks." Riku turns to leave and as he leaves the room he says one more thing. "Look after Sora."
