Hey everyone. Thank you to the two of you who reviewed, and now on with the story!

Don't do this Sora!

Quiet Roxas, I am going to teach that bastard the meaning of pain.

Sora, if you go through with this you will never forgive yourself.

It's hard to worry about that when I can't feel remorse anyways.

That doesn't mean you always won't, now c'mon enough of this revenge thing, just listen to what they have to say. I'm sure this is all just a misunderstanding.

You just want to see Namine again; you don't care about what they did to me.

I do want to see her again but you and I are the same person, and I know you still love Kairi, so stop this nonsense and forgive them!

Fine, I will forgive Kairi and the rest of my friends, but after I'm through with Riku.

Sora received no reply from his Nobody.

Kairi woke up in the exact same prison cell that she had been held in before, the only difference this time was that Riku was in it with her his hands bound in what appeared to be manacles made of bone. She pondered how she had got there and then remembered the events at Halloween Town.

"Riku, wake up!" Kairi said while nudging Riku gently.

"Unh- what is it Kairi?"

"Well let's see, we are currently Sora's prisoners in the Castle that Never Was, you have sort of bone manacles on your wrists and nobody except Jack and Santa Claus know where we are." Kairi said, gasping for air as she finished.

"We are pretty screwed aren't we?"

"Pretty much."

Suddenly the two heard footsteps from where Kairi remembered the door being. Marluxia stood in front of the cell, fumbling with a key trying to open the door, several Nobody's at his side. Once he had the door open, the Nobody's picked up Riku, who shockingly didn't even resist.

"Where are you taking him!?" screamed Kairi.

"Well girl, Master Sora plans to teach this guy a lesson, as for you he will escort you back to Radiant Garden when he is finished."

Kairi in gasped in both horror and surprise.

"He's…taking me back?"

"Yes, now silence, Sora is waiting."

Kairi crawled back into the corner of her cell and watched as the limp for of Riku was carried away and Marluxia locking the door.

Why is he taking me back, doesn't he know he'll be in trouble?

Because he still cares for you.

I hope so Namine, but I'm scared about what he'll do to Riku.

Sora stood in the Proof of Existence and looked at the twelve portals that stood in front of him. He had just finished rebuilding Zexion's portal, making the number that was working six.

Pity I won't get to see all twelve working.

Sora's thoughts were interrupted by a Dark Portal forming behind him. From it emerged Axel Demyx and Larxene, all of which were laughing.

"Do I even want to know?" asked Sora, scared to think of what they had done.

"Oh, never thought you would be here Sora, well let's see, I electrocuted the Emperor to death, Axel burnt the palace to the ground and Demyx called on a flood to wash away the villagers." Replied Larxene.

"Good, sounds like you had fun, now excuse me Marluxia should have the prisoner ready."

"Prisoner!?" screamed all three as he left, not thinking Sora the kind to take prisoners.

Sora jumped into a nearby shadow and emerged in a dark room. On the wall hung Riku, held up by his arms, which were held in extremely rusty chains.

I am warning you now, this next part will be fairly gory and I am changing the rating to M until the next author's note, If you do not feel you can handle it please skip to the next Author's note.

"Well Riku it looks like I'll finally get my revenge on you for your treachery."

"Sora, please." Groaned Riku.

"Please what; forgive you, for hiding something so important from me? Something you knew would break my heart! You did more damage by NOT telling me, and now you pay."

Sora summoned his shiv and walked over to the barely conscious Riku. Riku didn't respond until he felt a sharp metal object pierce the skin on his arm, and being forced from his elbow to his shoulder, allowing blood to flow freely from it. Riku screamed in pain.

"One, for keeping me from Kairi two years ago."

Sora took his shiv along Riku's other arm in the same fashion, causing Riku to scream in agony once again.

"Two, for hiding from me while I searched for you."

Sora held Riku's face up and looked him dead in the eye.

"And three for doing things behind my back!"

Riku gasped as he felt Sora's shiv slice just below abdomen, the pain almost unbearable.

"Let's see who the ladies man is now."

End gory section, now back to the Teen rating.

Riku merely gagged on his breathe, not believing Sora had just done what he had done.

"I know you've had your eye on Kairi this whole time, maybe now you'll know better than hiding things behind my back for your own gain!"

"Curaga!" A bright green light filled the room blinding Sora and Riku.

When Sora could see again, he noticed all of Riku's wounds had healed and he was lying on the floor, almost unconscious; a ghostlike figure standing between him and Sora.

"That is enough! I am NOT standing by and watching you torture your best friend Sora!"

"Roxas, you have no physical form, how you cured him I have no clue but I do know that you can't stop me."

"You do any more, and next time you see Kairi, I'll make you hurt her."

Sora's expression changed from one of mocking to one of disbelief and fear.

"You wouldn't you would be hurting Namine at the same time!"

"If it stops your madness then I will!"

Sora glared at the apparition of his Nobody and turned around.

"Fine, Riku my revenge on you is now complete." Sora opened a Dark Portal behind Riku. "Have fun at Radiant Garden!" With that Sora kicked his friend hard in the ribs, sending him flying through the portal.

"There was no need for that!"

"Get back inside me now, I'm going to take Kairi back to Radiant Garden."

"You sicken me Sora, the fact that you would do that to your best friend."

"Next time Roxas, I plan on killing him."

"You said you had your vengeance!"

"Ya, well this time it's for fun."

Roxas' face showed his pure disbelief, and he stood there for a moment before going back into Sora. Sora again jumped into the shadows in a corner of the room and emerged in front of Kairi's cell.

"Kairi, I have come to take you to Radiant Garden." Sora said calmly, in the voice he used to have.

"Where's Riku?" she whispered.

"He's waiting for you there." Sora spat.

"Sora, please, tell me you didn't hurt him to bad."

"I healed him when I was done, he should be fine." Disdain dripped from Sora's words.

"Alright, I'll go, but only if you stop this whole mess, you come back to the Light and pay for your crimes."

"Only if you forgive me for all that I've done and still love me."

Kairi stood there in utter shock; neither the old Sora nor the new one would ever say something like this. "I do still love you, now let's go."

Sora opened a Dark Portal behind him and opened Kairi's cell with a snap of his fingers. He walked over to Kairi and grabbed her hand in his and then dropped down to the ground in agony.

Light encased Sora, causing him to writhe in pain and dissolving his shadowy shell revealing his old self, fully restored. He stood up slowly and looked at Kairi. Seeing the worried expression on her face, he knew she hadn't done that on purpose.

"Sora, what's happened to you!?"

"I'll explain later, now let's go before the portal closes. Help me up please; I don't know if I can walk."

With that Kairi helped Sora up and held him underneath his shoulder helping him walk through the portal into a small house with a large armchair and computer. Sora collapsed on the ground unconscious. Kairi hurried over to Sora to see if he was alright, and in her fervor neglected to see a small shadow flow out of Sora and disappear.

When Sora woke up he found himself lying on the couch in Merlin's house, with Kairi, Leon and Cloud standing watch over him and manacles on his hands.

"I assume these are so I don't attack anyone?" Sora said weakly.

"You stand trial in two hours, you are charged with two counts of murder, one of high treason and one of torturing another sentient being."

Sora looked over at Kairi, who was crying. "Kairi."

"I can't believe you did that to him Sora! Of all the ways you could get back at him you maim him for life! You ended his family's bloodline!"

"I-I wasn't myself. Ask the King he should know what happened."

"You killed him Sora." Cloud responded sadly. A look of shear terror spread across Sora's face.

"Get up and get ready, the remaining members of the Council of Light will be pleased to have your trial over with as soon as possible." Leon responded his words laced with anger.

Kairi and Leon left the room, leaving Sora alone with Cloud who had his eyes shut.

"Cloud, nobody believes me do they?"

"Honestly Sora, no I believe you."

"Why?'

"The same thing happened to me when I found out about all kinds of lies on my home world; I exploded in anger and let the darkness overtake me. You know him today as Sephiroth; it is possible that you were overtaken by a dark being of immense power."

"But who would be strong enough to do such a thing?"

"Your Father, now get up and go the bathroom or whatever, we gotta go."

Sora stood up, shocked outlined on his face as he walked towards the washroom. He thought his Father had died at sea.

x0x0x0x

"Sora Hikari, you are charged with Murder, High Treason and Torture how do you plea."

"Not guilty ma'am."

"Well, plead your case then."

Sora gulped, nervous to present his shaky case that he had come up with in the bathroom.

"I would like to call," Sora gulped again "Riku to testify."

The entire room murmured in surprise. Miss Proudmoore banged her gavel and motioned to the bailiff to summon Riku. Riku walked into the room moments later, glaring daggers at Sora. He sat down beside Miss Proudmoore and was sworn in before Sora started his questioning.

"Riku, have I looked like I do now for as long as you have known me?"

"You've changed like anyone does while they grow but yes." Riku replied, his words venom to Sora's ears.

"Please describe the person who tortured you and you saw kill Goofy."

"He was your height, had long straight black hair, pale white skin, and glowing crimson eyes. He wore a black cloak like that of Organization XIII and had three weapons, a bow a sword and a dagger."

Sora's confidence grew as he continued.

"Let the jury look at me now and see that I do not look at all like the description Riku gave." Riku scowled at this.

"Riku did you see who killed King Mickey?"

"No, I found an arrow at the scene and when I returned to Merlin's house the person I described had left."

"Have you EVER seen me practice archery?"

"No."

"Do you think a beginner archer could have shot down the King?"

"No."

"Answer the same questions for Goofy, except with a dagger."

"Yes I saw Goofy killed by the man I described, no you have never practiced throwing knives to my knowledge and no a beginner couldn't have thrown a dagger that well in my opinion."

The entire room started murmuring again, unable to believe what Riku had said. Miss Proudmoore banged her gavel again, restoring order to the room.

"No further questions."

"Alight Sora, Riku you may step down." Riku stood up and walked out of the room, glaring at Sora the whole time.

"Does the prosecution have anyone to call to the stand?"

"Yes Miss," A somber looking Gandalf stepped out of the shadows and before the podium where Miss Proudmoore sat. "We wish to call Sora to the stand."

Sora hesitantly walked to where Riku had been and was sworn in.

"Master Sora, I have one question fro you, can you tell us where you have been for the past week?" Gandalf asked.

"No."

"Why not?"

"Because I can't remember."

"Remember Sora you are under oath you must tell the truth."

"I am telling the truth, I don't remember anything past falling through a pool of darkness on Destiny Islands after arguing with Riku."

Gandalf was shocked. He could detect no trace of lying from Sora.

"No further questions."

"You can step down Sora." Miss Proudmoore said firmly. "Would the jury please adjourn to decide on a verdict?

The Jury left the room, and then the rest of the room emptied except for Miss Proudmoore, Lady Sylvanas, Gandalf, Yoda, Leon and a mysterious figure who was in the shadows, nothing but his black attire and blood red cloak visible except his metal arm.

"Sora, we are the Council of Light, usually there are seven of us but Master Dumbledore has been killed by an agent of the Lords of the Dark."

Sora just stood there and nodded.

"We have something important to tell you, about your father."

Sora instantly paid attention to the words coming out of Sylvanas' mouth.

"Your father is a Dark Lord, the second most powerful. His name is Arthas and he rules as the Lich King on Azeroth, and has control over a large portion of the undead there."

Sora felt like throwing up, he couldn't believe that his father was Arthas, Lord of the Dark.

"We just felt that you should know this Sora, now take a seat the jury should be ready soon."

Sora sat down and looked blankly ahead of him, unable to comprehend what he had just been told. Eventually the jury walked out of their room, one with an envelope in his hand. The public was then allowed in again to hear the verdict. Miss Proudmoore took her seat upon her podium and directed her attention towards the envelope the bailiff had just handed her, opening it and reading the jury's decision.

"Have you reached a verdict?"

"Yes, on the first count of Murder in the first degree we find Sora, not guilty." The hooded man replied.

The room erupted into murmurs again.

"On the count of Torture we find Sora, not guilty."

The hooded man's words only made the murmuring grow louder, and Riku who was sitting in the front row now, glared daggers at Sora as the verdict was read.

"On the count of High Treason we find Sora, not guilty."

The murmur grew even louder as people no longer whispered, anticipating the final verdict.

"On the final count of Murder we find Sora, not guilty." The hooded man said again causing the crowd to erupt into full on cheers. Sora sank into his chair in relief and Riku stormed out of the court room, enraged at what had just happened. It wasn't until then that Sora noticed something was wrong. The hooded man walked towards Sora, the sound of metal scraping together barely audible amidst the din of cheering.

The man finally reached Sora and leaned in to whisper in his ear.

"Your welcome, son." The words traveled like ice through Sora's veins. He looked over to the jury and saw two faces hiding under their hoods that he would never forget, and brought back memories of the last week; Xemnas and Darth Sidious in full out smiles.

The entire last weeks events went through Sora's mind at lightning speed causing him to recoil slightly and fall back into his chair. He looked up into his father's hood and saw nothing but his mouth, long grey hair and glowing icy eyes. He looked over to Sidious and Xemnas again and saw between them a man who looked like he was half snake, a man whose face was covered completely by a helmet except for his fiery red eyes. To Xemnas's right there was a man with pale purple skin, with runes etched on it and a blindfold on.

"It is time my son, for you to embrace the darkness, and join us as the seventh Lord."

"What about Kairi?" Sora whispered.

"She shall come in due time."

Suddenly Sora heard screams coming from the stands where the public sat. Out of nowhere emerged a shadowy black mass similar to that of a heartless, but it was an exact replica of Sora.

The dark figure leapt towards Sora and flew straight into his chest, causing him to transform into his new self again, long black hair, crimson eyes and pale white skin.

"What is this madness!" screamed Gandalf. Sylvanas and Jaina (Miss Proudmoore) However had their weapons drawn. Leon too had his gunblade out and slowly the Council of Light armed themselves.

Gandalf looked around the room until he saw one of the jurors standing near Sora laughing. He turned to the other jurors to see them doing the same. And suddenly realized what had happened.

"Lords of the Dark, you hold no power here!" Gandalf raised his staff, creating a blinding white Light that when it faded had blown the hoods off of the Lords revealing them to the Council.

"You cannot win Gandalf," spoke the man with the helmet, his voice deep and commanding. "The Dark Lords have come to end this now!"

"Sauron! You shall not succeed!"

"Illidan you wretch, how did you escape Maiev? We had heard that you had been killed in the Black Temple!" screeched Sylvanas.

"You do not expect beings as weak as her and her puny allies powerful enough to vanquish me do you? I simply infused my essence into the Twin Blades!" Sylvanas scowled at this comment.

The mysterious man in the shadows spoke to the snake man still not revealing himself.

"Voldemort, neither of us can die and Dumbledore is not here to face you. You and I shall settle this elsewhere!" The man waved his cloak causing him and Voldemort to disappear into thin air.

"Sidious, resilient you have become."

"Ah yes Master Yoda, but how did you escape that fall?"

"Much to learn, you still have!"

"Xemnas!"

"Ah Master Leonheart, I am sorry for interrupting your trial here but we couldn't allow an injustice to pass, after all Arthas was pretty much in control."

"This time the keyblades will destroy you for good!"

"Strong words, for someone without a keyblade."

All that was left was Jaina staring at Arthas, with Sora knocked out in the middle.

"You will not take our son like this!"

"Foolish mortal, destiny itself has risen up against you! The Master is preparing to come out and today, we shall snuff out the Light for good!"

Suddenly a bright Light came from the spectator stands, and from its center there was an auburn haired girl.

"You won't take Sora away from me!" Kairi yelled.

"Ah a Princess of Heart," laughed Arthas, "I am truly sorry, but my son must come with me, you are welcome to join us should you wish however. Remember being pure of heart can mean pure darkness as well."

"Enough Arthas!" screamed Jaina.

"Jaina, I am just trying to be polite, perhaps an eternity as an undead servant will teach you better!"

Arthas drew Frostmourne, his sword, causing the other Lords of the Dark to summon weapons.

The Battle of Radiant Garden had begun.

There is your third and final clue as to who the mystery man is, immortality. Well I hope you all enjoyed that chapter and I defiantly hope that somebody wins this competition, I wouldn't want to just say who it is, how anti-climactic! Again thank you to those of you who reviewed, and to those who didn't thanks for reading anyways: P
