Thomas and the silver haired boy known as Riku continued to stare each other down, "Why are yo-" Thomas started to say before Riku cut him off by pointing his keyblade at him.

"Let's quit the formalities and cut right to the chase, I'm not going to tell you why all of this is happening. You don't need to know yet the only thing you need to know that right now you're fighting me." Riku said as he continued to point his keyblade, his aqua colored eyes showed only confidence as the lightning continued to strike around them.

Thomas's crimson eyes were still locked on Riku even though he could hear the battles going on between his friends, "Ugh I've got to hurry up and beat this pretty boy and help my friends." He thought to himself. Thomas then opened up his hands with them at his waist and summoned his keyblades, Chaos Star and Shattered Dreams. Riku particularly stared at his shattered dreams keyblade

"Hmm I didn't realize his keyblade had that much dark power in it, but he's still unaware that power will swallow him whole." He thought to himself as he lowered his keyblade. "Hand over that keyblade." Riku demanded as Thomas simply stared.

"Are you crazy? You must be crazy, you're going to have to pry it from my cold, dead fi-"

"So be it!" Riku said as lightning flashed in front of him, when the lightning passed he was gone.

Unsure of where he was Thomas began scanning the open field for Riku but his speed was to unrealistic, Riku then suddenly appeared in front of him and swung his keyblade down, barely having enough time Thomas put his keyblades up in an "X" shape to block the attack. While blocking Thomas shifted his right arm and used his chaos star keyblade and swiped at Riku's stomach, thinking he connected Thomas put a smirk on until he noticed that Riku's body began to fade away from him. "What? An after-ima-"Thomas started to say before he felt Riku's keyblade grind into his back and sent him flying.

"Damn, what power." Thomas thought to himself as he got up slowly, he looked to his left and noticed Riku walking towards him, he pointed his keyblade at Riku "Stop!" he cried as Riku was frozen in time for a moment. Thomas then sprang up and began to attack Riku he swung his shattered dreams keyblade him only for the spell to wear off, Riku grabbed Thomas's keyblade

"You're nowhere near strong enough for that move to work on me yet."

"Yet?" Thomas questioned as Riku kicked Thomas in the stomach while still gripping his keyblade, Thomas lost his grip and went sliding back

"Now you're not ready for this keyblade and I don't think you ever will." Riku said as he raised his Way to the dawn keyblade and smashed Thomas's keyblade.

"NOOO!" Thomas let out a cry.

Thomas watched as his keyblade shattered into pieces and landed against the ground, Riku watched as Thomas was helpless to do anything, Thomas continued to point his open hand at the broken keyblade, his hand began to glow a couple times "What the-?" Riku thought to himself as he watched the shattered remains of the keyblade glow a bright white as it suddenly disappeared, Riku looked up to see Thomas leaping at him slashing with both keyblades. Thomas managed to hit Riku in both of his shoulders and then kicked him in the stomach which sent him stumbling back a little "Heh, I almost felt that, but I see you do have some power to you, to bring your keyblade back after it being broken but you're still not ready for this fight." Riku said as he pointed his keyblade at Thomas again. "Dark aura." he said as small spheres of dark energy shot out at Thomas and collided with his chest and stomach which knocked him out instantly.

Riku walked over to Thomas's body. "I had to actually put a little force into that attack; you're going to have unrealistic power when the time comes. You and your whole team." Riku said as he watched as Sora, Roxas, and Leon brought over the other keyblade wielders.
