Chapter 3: Hear My Voice
Open your heart. Let go of the darkness. Banish it, cleanse your soul.
"Wha…? Riku stares up at the sky as the words echo in his head. "Who is that? What do you want?"
Don't fear. Your heart is clear; I can speak to you now. A heart without a body, cleansed after Ansem's demise, the other side of the door, the lands where lights and dark co exist. You are here, along with many other hearts that will help you on your journey, the antithesis of the heartless. The door will open soon. I will give you a power, if you will help me.
"But how can I help?" Riku leans up against a large rock, his eyes wander to the wide ocean that fills his view. "I'm not exactly the best person to be helping anybody."
Lend me your strength and I will give you the power to fight, all I ask is that you give me a form, this time I will fight.
"His voice... It's left me."
"This time... I'll fight."
"Give you a form…? So you can fight…? But how?"
Bind yourself to me. Open your heart to me and I shall protect you. I will give you power to protect your friends.
"Open... My heart?" A streak of light falls from the endless blue sky and falls upon Riku, strange warmth overcomes his body as a black-cloaked boy wraps his arms around him, he whispers soundlessly in Riku's ear.
Your heart is strong. This is the first time I could speak to you. Your heart was so overcome by darkness my weak light could not pass through. But now…
The cloaked figure drifts away from Riku, as he does two Keyblades form in his hands.
You can wield the Keyblade as its true master. We'll need them on this side also.
The cloaked figure tosses the Keyblades to Riku, as soon as they touch his hands a great light over powers him, blinding him for a few moments. Riku opens his eyes to find himself in the same black cloak as the clocked figure. The cloaked figure pulls back his hood to reveal the mirror image of Riku; only a black blindfold hides his eyes.
Shroud your self in darkness so they wont recognize your light. Keep hidden until the others join you. The door will open soon. You will once again fight.
The cloaked figure begins to fade into the deep blue sky that surrounds them.
"Wait what is your name!? What can I call you!?" Riku reaches out for the hooded figure with outstretched hands.
Jinei
Riku turns around to find himself in a dark forbidding city. The buildings reach up to the sky in a mass of twisted metal and glass. Riku stands in awe at the sheer height and numbers of these buildings.
The door will open soon. Don't worry… I will always protect you. Be wary.
Open your heart. Let go of the darkness. Banish it, cleanse your soul.
