Review Responses
Rose93darkness - Of course Riku would get annoyed at singing dwarves...ya know Riku was supposed to be the keyblade master and Sora was only picked by default? (which annoyed me to no end) I thought what it would be like if it was Riku instead of Sora...i could never see Riku getting along with Donald and Goofy..being all happy and taking part in underwater musicals...the game just wouldn't be the same..
Gogglehead Lover - Thanks for the review, glad you enjoyed :D Snow White makes no sense but i love it anyway...especially that scene where the dwarves attack Grumpy and make him wash :P

Immortal Fallen Angel - Thanks for your review!! They make me very happy and i'm glad you thought it was funny :D No idea where the prince came from...i think that we're not meant to think into this much detail...like i said, ignore the factual errors and enjoy the story...it's like in Kingdom Hearts how they go without need of sleep/food/drink etc..but we're not meant to think about stuff like that...
Anyaways...TO ALL WHO ARE READING ...no i'm not gonna say anything interesting :P ENJOY...
Chapter 21 – Darkness Empowered
"Yeah you got that right." Riku replied staring open mouthed at the masses of heartless of all shapes and sizes ranging from mere shadows to huge behemoths letting out deafening roars while strong metal chains held them back from charging forward. Sora gulped.
"We can take 'em." Donald said with narrowed eyes and a dark tone as he summoned Save the Queen and got into a fighting stance.
"Hello? We're like outnumbered ten thousand to one here!" Xenia hissed at the duck, gesturing at the army in front of them.
"That's the witch that poisoned Snow White!" Grumpy yelled pointing at the heartless; he rolled up his sleeves with a murderous expression and began to stalk towards the huge army but was held back by Doc. Nexus smirked at the dwarf's anger before directing her attention to Sora.
"I won't give in to the darkness Nexus so why don't you give it up!" The teen shouted angrily at her which only seemed to amuse the nobody.
"Are you sure, maybe there's some way we can persuade you." She clicked her fingers and immediately the heartless queen disappeared in a puff of black and purple smoke before reappearing with a struggling figure within her grasp.
"Get your hands off me!" The man shouted, attempting to pry himself away from the sharpened claws of the queen. She snarled and placed a claw at his throat, drawing a small drop of blood.
"The Prince!" Doc gasped.
"That's the prince?" Riku stared in disbelief at the man who appeared to be wearing a cape, if it were any other situation; he probably would have been laughing by that point.
"We need him to save Snow White." Sora replied.
"That's right, without him you can wave goodbye to your little princess…and your world." Nexus gave an evil smirk before they heard a loud explosion behind them. The party jumped and turned to see a huge cloud of smoke and flame rising from the forest in the distance.
"SNOW WHITE!" The dwarves shouted before running in the opposite direction of the army, back towards their princess who lay sleeping in the glass coffin.
"Well our numbers just went down by seven." Xenia said in annoyance placing her hands on her hips.
"Not quite." A voice came from next to her. She looked down to see Grumpy standing next to her with a look of defiance on his face. "That old witch caused all of this and she's gonna pay." He said angrily. He raised his fists as though about to enter a boxing match while everyone else except Xenia summoned their weapons. Riku turned to an unarmed Xenia.
"You got nothing to fight with?" He asked her in disbelief.
"Oh sorry, I must have left my battle gear at home." She replied sarcastically.
"Well, you're just going to have to rely on your amazing hand to hand combat skills then." He answered back just as sarcastically. She narrowed her eyes and clenched her fists but remained silent as she turned to look in front of her. Meanwhile, Sora was looking at Kairi with concern, she sighed as she read his expression easily.
"I'm fighting so there's no point in arguing." She said dismissively, clutching Flowers of Hope in her hand. Sora chuckled.
"Just promise me this."
"Anything."
"Be careful." He said quietly. She smiled and grasped his hand lightly.
"Of course, you as well. Cos if you die, Donald and Goofy are goona cry, then I'm gonna cry, then Riku's gonna cry-"
"Okay Kai I get it." He said cutting her off before turning to look at the dark keyblade glinting in the sun. There was a slight tingling feeling that was running up the arm holding Oblivion, itching for action. He shook the feeling off and thought back to the day he had been sitting on the pier at Destiny Islands, the day it had all started. He smiled to himself.
"What are you thinking?" The red-head next to him asked, bringing Sora out of his memories.
"I think I'd rather take the padded cell right about now." She looked at him curiously for a moment before shaking her head. Sora turned his head to look at their extremely small force, his eyes locked with theirs. He nodded and they nodded back before shouting a battle cry and charging forward towards the wall of heartless. Nexus looked shocked for a moment before summoning a portal, pulling Xenithan, the queen and the prince inside. "NOT AGAIN!" Sora screamed as he swiped the empty space where Nexus had been standing just seconds before. He then decided to take out his rage on the heartless, slashing through them and barely looking at what he was doing. A soldier heartless rose up in front of him and trapped the keyblade with it's sword, Sora merely growled at lashed out with his foot, kicking the heartless so it landed a few feet away. He then lobbed Oblivion so it was spinning through the air, cutting through the soldier like butter and any other heartless that happened to be in its path.
Meanwhile, Xenia had taken to fighting with her fists as best as she could and was actually making some progress. As Riku fought close by, he had to admit she could pack quite a punch but the heartless came in swarms, surrounding them constantly. As another disintegrated in front of the nobody, another leaped from behind, ready to sink its claws into her back. Riku ignored the heartless trying to attack him and ran to Xenia, stabbing the heartless with the tip of Way to Dawn just as she was turning around. It vanished, showering her with the black substance that seemed to make up heartless.
"Thanks!" She shouted breathlessly before swinging her leg around hitting a heartless that was coming up in the other direction, sending it flying the opposite way. She stood for a moment with a proud expression. "I didn't know I could do that."
"Less talk, more fighting!" Riku shouted back over the roars and snarls of the heartless. Soon, a dirt covered Kairi had joined them.
"Glad to see you're still alive." Kairi said with a smile before turning to attack a Large Body heartless, only to have her keyblade repelled by the shield on its front. Instead of attempting to hit its front again, she dove to the side and rolled, slamming her keyblade into its back, effectively pushing the heartless at Riku who finished it off with one swift blow.
"How are the others?" He asked. Kairi frowned for a moment before sparing a glance around the battle field to look for her friends. She spotted Grumpy who was being completely ignored by the larger heartless seeing as they didn't consider the dwarf a threat, so he had taken to attacking the smaller shadow heartless. She saw him punch a shadow in its face before literally jumping on top of it, sending it to the ground.
"Grumpy's fine." She called back to Riku. "As for Sora, Donald and Goofy…they're doing what they do best."
Said teen, duck and dog were attacking the heartless with a barrage of slashing, bashing and casting. Sora quickly made his way to Donald and Goofy before unleashing Trinity Limit. With inhuman speed, Sora hit the heartless with rapid strikes, not giving it time to attack back before the three grouped together and were enveloped in a wall of light that exploded outwards. When it faded, there was a large gap surrounding the three where a group of heartless had been previously standing. Sora glanced at the sky watching the pink orbs floating away for a moment.
"If Xemnas were here he'd be having a field day." He joked before rejoining the battle, performing Rising Sun on some of the soldier heartless while Donald cast Thunder and Goofy attacked with his tornado move, obliterating the dark creatures easily. As his eyes grew darker once more, Sora's power grew, fighting like he had done in Radiant Garden but he was too involved in the fight to notice. After a while he found he was enjoying himself, laughing as Oblivion hacked away at the heartless.
That was until a giant foot stomped down a few inches away from Sora, causing a shockwave through the earth. The teen took a few steps backwards and found himself face to face with a behemoth. It roared, baring its huge teeth that were too close for comfort. Sora nearly dropped Oblivion in fright before changing his expression to that of determination, gripping his keyblade tighter. Thinking back to when he had to defeat some of these at The End of the World, he remembered that its horn was its weak spot. He then literally chucked Oblivion at the monster's head, distracting it while he climbed up on its back. As soon as he was standing, Sora summoned Oblivion and ran towards the behemoth's head. Just as he was approaching the horn, he felt a slight tingling sensation in the hand that wasn't holding Oblivion. Sora looked down in confusion before Ultima appeared in a flash of light. Sora smiled and let out a laugh at being able to call upon a different keyblade until he saw stands of black snaking around the keyblade's handle, soon, instead of the bright blue Sora was used to, Ultima now shined as black as Oblivion. "No…" He said quietly staring at the keyblade, almost forgetting that he was standing on a giant heartless' back. When he returned to the present, the behemoth had begun to shoot small meteors out of its horn and he couldn't move fast enough to stop the one that had been headed straight towards him. Sora yelled in pain as it hit him in the back, making him fall to his knees. "You're gonna pay for that." He said darkly, eyes narrowing and growing black as he lifted Oblivion and Ultima into the air, smashing them down hard on the behemoth's horn. The heartless roared in pain, rearing up on its hind legs causing Sora to fall off, he landed on the ground, wind knocked out of him. Gasping, he just managed to roll out of the way as the giant beast's feet came crashing down once more upon the already scarred earth where Sora had been moments before. The behemoth swung its head round only to meet Ultima and Oblivion that Sora was guarding himself with. Growling angrily, the behemoth raised itself once more, attempting to crush the teen. Sora dodged out of the way again, rolling underneath the heartless. He really needed to get up on top of its back but he doubted the distraction trick would work again. As the behemoth was momentarily confused, Ultima and Oblivion buzzed with a dark energy, everything went black for a moment. When the light retuned, Sora found himself on the back of the behemoth.
"woa…" He said breathlessly. Concentrating on that power again, Sora shifted to the behemoth's head without even moving. He let out a delighted laugh before gripping the two keyblades and smashing them into the horn with more force than last time. The behemoth let out one more roar before falling to the ground, defeated until all that was left was the pink heart floating upwards until out of sight. "Right, one down, about ten more to go." He said, trying to count how many more of the huge creatures were left.
By now, Xenia was tired and her knuckles were sore and bleeding from having to use her fists more than she had ever done in her life. She hissed in pain as she clenched and unclenched her fingers.
"Oh well, at least I'll have an amazing right hook."
"This is no time to make jokes." Riku shouted sternly at her. She, Riku and Kairi had been fighting close together for a while now, working as a team to take down the heartless. Suddenly, there was a pained scream behind them, Xenia turned around to see Kairi fall to the floor with deep scratches on her back.
"Kairi!" The blonde ran up to her fallen friend and kneeled down next to her. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah…I'll be fine." She said wincing. Xenia helped Kairi to he feet as she leaned on the nobody for support. "I don't think we're gonna get out of this one." She said sadly.
"Oh come on, don't talk like that." Kairi gasped as she noticed a couple of soldiers coming down upon them. Xenia pushed her to the floor, guarding Kairi with herself. She was bracing herself for pain but there was a sudden flash of back and the soldiers were killed in one strike. Whatever had saved them cast a cure spell, healing the wounds on her knuckles and Kairi's back instantly but when Xenia looked up, there was no one there. "What the hell..?" She stared with a confused expression, Riku and the others were too far away to have done it. That is when she spotted the black dot zipping in and out of the heartless, only stopping to kill them. She could only stare as whatever it was obliterated the heartless as if they were made of paper.
Riku was also looking as it disappeared in a flash only to reappear somewhere else, he didn't notice the large body coming up behind him until the black shape headed straight passed him and destroyed it with one swipe. Riku turned his head quickly to see his best friend standing holding two black keyblades that matched his eyes.
"Be more careful next time." Sora smiled his usual, cheerful smile before disappearing again. Riku could only stare dumbfounded before his expression became that of concern.
"Oh Sora…you better get back to the light before it's too late." He followed his best friend as best as he could which was hard considering Sora kept teleporting all over the place. After a few moments of running trying to catch up with the young keyblade master, Riku had to stop suddenly, skidding and nearly falling over. "Not again…" He said exasperatedly as a glowing force field shot up from the ground, stopping him form getting anywhere near Sora or the castle. "XENIA!" He basically screamed at the eighteen year old. She wheeled around to stare at Riku. "GET OVER HERE NOW!" She ran towards him.
"No need to scream." Riku ignored her comment.
"Can you use that funny blue thing again?" Xenia nodded before searching for the scanner in her pockets, it wasn't long before she got upset.
"It's gone! Where the hell has it gone?" Sadness quickly turning into anger.
"You lost it?" He stared at her in disbelief.
"Well I didn't mean to!" She shot back but became silent as soon as she noticed something. The heartless were no longer attacking; instead, they had begun to march towards the castle. Riku saw Donald hit one with thunder, it didn't even fight back.
As the heartless approached the force field, they walked through it as though it weren't even there. That was when Riku noticed that the barrier in front of them was surrounding the castle.
"No no no no no no…" He trailed off staring at the castle.
"What?" Xenia asked with a look of concern.
"Sora's on the other side of that thing, he's trapped." The heartless had stopped moving, only a few thousand and the behemoths were left on their side of the force field. Then, as if nothing had happened, the heartless continued their attack. Xenia sighed, getting ready to fight again.
"Kairi was right, we're gonna need a Miracle to get out of this one.
"Did I hear someone say Miracle?" A warm and friendly voice suddenly asked. Riku and Xenia looked around with bewildered expressions before they saw three lights coming towards them, one red, one green and the other blue. In a sparkle of colours, the three good fairies appeared in front of the two with smiles on their faces. Fauna was once again holding the small blue kitten. She placed Miracle on the ground, the kitten sniffed it curiously before sitting down and meowing.
"Go on dear; show them what you can do." Fauna knelt down and patted Miracle on the head. Standing up, she took a few steps backwards. "Give him some room please." She asked Riku and Xenia nicely. Not knowing what the hell was going on; the two simply complied and gave the kitten some space. As soon as they stood still, Miracle began to grow. As he did, the blue fur became thicker, the claws became longer and the teeth sharper until suddenly, standing in front of them was a huge tiger-like animal. Miracle gave an almighty roar before charging at the force field, slashing at it with his claws.
"Where did you come from?" Riku asked in disbelief. Flora smiled and pointed behind them at the gummi ship that was resting on the ground. He noticed that Kairi, Donald, Goofy and Grumpy looked worn out as they leant against the side of the ship. It was King Mickey. Yen Sid was there too, the king attacked the regular heartless while the old wizard brought down the behemoths using blasts of magic. Suddenly, a behemoth appeared in front of them, roaring in fury. On instinct, Riku summoned Way to Dawn but Merryweather held him back.
"Let us deal with this one." She said, eyes narrowing at the heartless. The three good fairies stood in a line and pointed their wands, sending out three jets of magic at the huge creature which roared once more. The behemoth then did the exact opposite of what Miracle had done before, it got smaller, and smaller and smaller until it was no bigger than a puppy. "Serves you right for being evil." Merryweather huffed at the small behemoth that could now only let out a kind of squeak.
"Aww, it's kinda cute." Fauna said.
"We're not keeping it." Flora said dismissively, which Fauna either didn't hear, or ignored.
"I think I'll call him MiniMoth." She said patting the creature on the head. Riku shook his head at the fairies before looking over at Mickey who appeared to have just finished off the last heartless in a big, flashy display of magic. Leaving the fairies, 'MiniMoth' and Miracle who was still clawing at the force field, slowly making tears in it, Riku ran towards the king who was standing near the gummi ship, Xenia followed him.
"Where's Sora?" Mickey asked.
"On the other side of that." Riku said pointing at the force field. "We have to help him before the darkness takes over completely."
"What?" Kairi asked walking towards them from the gummi ship, concern written all over her face.
"He's doing all this crazy dark stuff, and what's the betting Nexus and Xenithan are in that castle with the prince?" Xenia replied. A sudden Roar from behind them made Riku and Mickey call upon their keyblades but they sighed in relief when they turned round to see Miracle bounding up to them happily.
"What the..?" Kairi asked with a bewildered expression. Riku looked past the giant blue tiger to see a large hole in the force field. The edges were jagged and there were several claw marks around the gap. Riku smiled.
"Good job Miracle!" He shouted happily, scratching the blue kitten behind his ear before darting off in the direction of the hole.
"Riku wait!" Kairi shouted to him but he wasn't listening. Mickey, Donald and Goofy followed close behind. She wanted to chase them but she knew she wouldn't be able to fight, her limbs were aching terribly and she doubted she even had the strength to hold the keyblade let alone fight with it. The red-head dropped to the floor.
Meanwhile, Grumpy was eying Yen Sid suspiciously.
"Is that wizard on our side?"
"Yes Grumpy, he is." Kairi sighed, staring after her friends as they had gone running off. The group waiting by the gummi ship were soon joined by the three fairies, Fauna tugging 'MiniMoth' around on a lead she had made. Miracle ran over to her, steadily getting smaller until he was his regular size again.
"And who are you supposed to be?" Grumpy crossed his arms, eying up the brightly coloured fairies.
"We're Flora, Fauna and Merryweather. We're the three good fairies." Flora answered warmly.
"Fairies? Hmph." The dwarf replied. Kairi continued to stare at the castle where heartless still lingered.
"Come on Kairi, we need to help the other dwarves with the forest." Xenia said putting a hand on Kairi's shoulder.
"But…" Xenia cut her off.
"Sora will be fine, The King, Riku, Donald and Goofy are there to help."
"Do not worry Princess, the keyblade master will not fall today, we must save this world before we can save him." Yen Sid spoke in his usual mysterious tone.
"Oh you're doing an excellent job of cheering her up." Xenia said crossing her arms at the old wizard. Yen Sid ignored her and calmly waved his hands, next thing Xenia knew, their party, including the gummi ship, were now by the edge of the forest, or at least, what remained of the forest. The large trees that once stood tall were now reduced to blackened stumps; the forest floor was scorched and burned. Xenia spotted the smoking remains of the cute little dwarves' cottage. The whole place had been burnt to a wasteland.
"No…" She said sadly. Meanwhile, Kairi had walked up to the glass coffin where Snow White remained sleeping peacefully; completely unaware of what had happened. The other six dwarves were also gathered around the coffin, protecting it as if it were the most precious thing in the world.
"We managed to keep the fire away from her." Happy said, tears rolling down his cheeks. Doc was nearby comforting Dopey who had his head buried in the sleeves of his bright green coat. Grumpy rushed forward and joined his friends around the coffin while Kairi turned back round to face Yen Sid.
"Please, can't you do anything?" She pleaded.
"That would be messing with world order." Kairi was about to answer back but Xenia stopped her. Kairi stared at the nobody curiously. Xenia smirked and winked back.
"I guess Merlin was right about you." Xenia sighed. This perked Yen Sid's attention.
"Excuse me?"
"All talk and no action." Xenia chuckled inwardly as Yen Sid rolled up his sleeves once more, face turning red.
"I'll show that old donut…" He grumbled before strolling up to the three fairies. "Ready ladies?" In response, Flora, Fauna and Merryweather smiled and got out their wands along with Yen Sid. The three fairies disappeared in coloured sparkles, morphing into their smaller forms. They flew upwards and began to trail magic, letting it fall over the dead forest. As soon as the sparkles rested on the ground, new grass and plants began to sprout of the ground, rapidly growing. Kairi smiled ran up to the old wizard.
"Thank you so much!" She said hugging him from the side. Surprised, Yen Sid lost his concentration and what was left of the second floor of the dwarves' cottage fell down.
"Careful! That's our home there." Grumpy complained while the other dwarves stared at the magic in awe. Kairi let go of the wizard.
"Sorry." She said before making her way back to Xenia.
"I think Yen Sid and the fairies are about to become very popular." Xenia chuckled at the dwarf named Sleepy who was rubbing his eyes to check he wasn't dreaming.
"Now all we have to do is wait for the boys to retrieve the prince and then we can leave." As Xenia said this, Kairi couldn't help but feel a pang of worry for Sora and the others.
"I hope they're okay."
Meanwhile… (Rewind a bit)
As soon as Riku stepped through the hole, he noticed something. There were only a few heartless left, all of which were being destroyed by Sora who was still moving as though he had eaten jet fuel for breakfast.
"SORA!" He shouted but the teen ignored him until all of the heartless were gone, as the last one disappeared into black smoke, Sora turned back to look at Riku. Said boy gasped at his friend's appearance, Sora didn't have a scratch on him, this of course was a good thing, but Riku couldn't help but wonder how his best friend had killed thousands of heartless and come out of it unscathed, he didn't even appear to look tired. Sora stared at Riku with black eyes.
"Nexus and Xenithan are inside with the prince." He said darkly before turning to run towards the castle entrance.
"Sora wait!" Riku called but to no avail.
"How long has he been like that?" Mickey asked.
"Since before you arrived." Mickey frowned.
"Your Majesty, what's happening to him?"
"Exactly what we feared." Before Riku could question further, Donald and Goofy ran past them, weapons at the ready.
"Come one guys, we gotta help Sora." Goofy called, gesturing for them to follow. So Riku and Mickey ran into the castle where they were confronted by a series of lavishly decorated hallways and doors to choose from.
"Which way now?" Donald asked, looking around the huge entrance hall.
"We'll have to split up." King Mickey replied. As soon as the mouse said this, the court wizard and royal knight nodded and ran in opposite directions, Goofy taking a door on the left while Donald ran to the right.
"Guess we're heading up then." Riku said before he and Mickey ran up the huge staircase.
Meanwhile…
All Sora could think about was reaching the two nobodies that had caused them so much trouble and finish them off once and for all. He wasn't sure if it was rage was fuelling him or this new power that had appeared while he had been fighting the behemoth. He ran through the castle halls as if being pulled to the nobodies' location by an invisible wire.
It wasn't long before he burst through a door into a large room decorated similarly to the rest of the castle. But that's not what caught the keyblade master's attention; it was Nexus and Xenithan staring at him in shock. Xenithan's face quickly turned to anger as he turned towards Nexus.
"Yep, no chance he would make it through the army of heartless." He said, voice dripping with sarcasm while he crossed his arms. Nexus rolled her eyes before narrowing them. The queen stood a little way away, still keeping a tight grip on the prince she so wanted to kill but couldn't because Nexus wouldn't let her, not yet anyway. Nexus strolled forward casually, hiding her previous shock at seeing Sora. The boy in question gripped Ultima and Oblivion tighter, ready to lash out.
"I see you've made it then so how about this, you come quietly or the prince and the rest of this world die." Sora however, was in no mood to make deals with the enemy, let alone actually agree to go with them. He aimed Oblivion at Nexus threateningly although his eyes had returned to a deep blue. She looked at the tip of Oblivion before locking her gaze with Sora's who quickly turned his eyes away from hers, not about to let himself get knocked out again. "Well, so much for that idea, guess we'll have to do this the hard way." She sighed before clicking her fingers once more, at this gesture the queen stepped forward, leaving the prince tied up with strands of darkness. She got on all fours and pounced. Slightly surprised by her fast move, Sora was caught off guard and was forced backwards, only to have his head hit something that sent a sharp, stinging pain through him. He leapt up to see one of their force fields separating himself from the only exit.
"Great." He mumbled before dashing forward at the queen, delivering a strong blow with both of his keyblades. The queen barely faltered, lashing back out with her razor claws, drawing deep scratches on his exposed arms. Sora winced as blood began to well up and hit her with Ultima and Oblivion in rapid succession, knocking the queen back constantly as she struggled to land a blow on the keyblade master. When he was finished, the queen was snarling and staring daggers with her golden eyes at Sora who had both of the keyblades pointed at her. He muttered "fire" before a huge, black fireball shot out and hit the queen squarely in the chest. She screamed out in pain as the dark fire burnt but she refused to give up. Using the last of the darkness that she had been given ever since her heart was opened, she gathered a black, swirling smoke that curled around her fingers. Sora stared at her for a moment, bracing himself for whatever the queen was going to do next. She shot out the huge mass which immediately engulfed Sora, strands wrapping around him like snakes getting tighter until he could barely breathe. He dropped Ultima and Oblivion, the two uselessly clattering to the floor, Sora soon following after. His dark eyes flickered yellow for a moment before they returned back to being black, the darkness around him dissipating. He kneeled on the floor breathing heavily for a moment before grasping the handles of the two black keyblades and slowly getting to his feet. In one swift move he disappeared, reappearing behind Nexus and stabbing her in the back. She gasped and fell to her knees, but soon she began laughing.
"Your princess already tried that; don't ever think I will die that easily." Sora growled and stabbed her with the other keyblade, Nexus winced for a moment before smirking again.
"I think we did our job a bit too well don't you think?" She gasped. Taking advantage of Sora's temporary confusion, she whipped around and stabbed him in the thigh with the dagger she had been using earlier. The teen yelled and jumped backwards, but instead of falling, Sora only appeared to get angrier. He ripped Oblivion and Ultima from Nexus' back earning a sharp cry but apart from that she appeared to be completely unharmed. She stood up grinning which soon faded when she heard someone calling Sora on the other side of the door attempting to bash their way in.
"Damn." Nexus cursed at herself for letting the darkness within Sora get more powerful than she had intended, the nobody wanted to get Sora but she wasn't stupid, she knew now that she'd have to attack Sora's heart in a different manner. She smirked inwardly, knowing every one of Sora's memories and feelings had its advantages.
"Xenithan, we're leaving."
"What?" He shouted staring at her incredulously.
"Now." Her voice held no emotion as she ran towards the other nobody, pulling him inside a portal before Sora had a chance to attack. He yelled in frustration, banging his fists on the floor. The force field disappeared and Riku literally fell through the door, grasping onto the handle for support. Sora's darkened eyes looked for a moment before he shifted from his position on the floor to right in front of whoever had just came in, holding Ultima up against his neck. It took Sora about a second to realise his mistake as recognition flooded his expresson, he immediately banished the two keyblades and walked away from Riku who was looking at him with a shocked expression. Riku could see his eyes slowly get lighter, returned to their usual sky blue hue. As they did, Sora's legs trembled beneath him, fatigue catching up with him fast. Soon, he pitched forward, not even having enough strength to stand anymore.
"Sora!" Riku rushed to where his friend had fallen, turning him over to see Sora who had tears falling down his cheeks.
"I'm so sorry Riku, I don't know what came over me…there was just power…so much power." He choked out, still shaking slighty.
"Shh it's okay, just rest now." Riku said comforting his friend as best as he could. Sora complied, letting his eyes fall shut so he could finally be at peace from the darkness.
