Chapter 4: Unraveled MysterybrbrI heard something. I looked around the room. Everything seemed ok... Except that the door was open! Colleen was still sleeping peacefully. Something was going on. I had to wake her up.brbrColleen, look...brbrShe looked up and saw that the door had been open. What was going on? I had to go check it out.brbrStay here.brbrI walked outside and looked around. I could smell the scent of death. I looked at the ground. There was a trail of blood...I ran back into the cell. Colleen walked out with me and she saw it with her own eyes. Something has happened. Tina was not in her cell. Where could she be? We followed the trail until it stopped. The guard was dead. I checked his body while Colleen looked away. He was stabbed frequently. I checked for anything that could be useful. The keys were missing. Of course someone used it to open our cell doors. Could Tina have done this? We decided to go look around. It was quiet...Too quiet. Everyone was dead. Nothing was working either. While we were going upstairs floor by floor...we saw trails of blood on the wall. When we got to the last flight of stairs I told Colleen to stay. There was blood everywhere... Colleen came up after a while. She was sickened. I was too. The man that knocked me out was dead. The room was big but now silent. There was a big desk and windows behind it. Someone was on the desk... Colleen and I walked up to see who it was. All the sudden I heard a voice behind us.brbrHe's dead...brbrWe turned around. It was Tina. Did she do this? She seemed so calm. I don't know what was going on anymore.brbrWhat the hell is going on?I don't know. When I woke up my cell door was opened. I decided to go look around and see what happened. When I returned to wake you two up you were gone.brbrI turned around and looked at the body.brbrWho is this?It's Rufus...brbrI was shocked. This whole entire building was filled with lifeless bodies now? I could see that the weapon the murderer used was still in Rufus' body. It was a keyblade!brbrOh my god...What is it? Colleen asked.brbrI collapsed onto the ground. The keyblade seemed really familiar. It glowed a dark black.brbr-----------------------------------------------------------brbr[Flashback]brbr*Looking at Riku's keyblade*brbrI know that keyblade...it couldn't be. That's the same keyblade I saw on Destiny Island. It couldn't be. The keyblade looked exactly like the one I saw.brbr[Flashback ended]brbr-----------------------------------------------------------brbrThis is Riku's keyblade...brbrColleen stared at me.brbrbrbrColleen walked over to the lifeless body. She looked at the keyblade. It had to be Riku's. Rufus' white suit was stained with his blood.brbrDo you think....Riku is on our side? Colleen asked.brbrI don't know....he wouldn't do this though. It's not like him.Wait. Where's the Key of Darkness?He must've taken it... Tina said.brbrMaybe he's trying to lock the World of Darkness?brbrSomething was outside. A loud roar shook the room. Something bad was going to happen. I could feel it. I had to get Colleen and Tina out of here.brbrGet Tina and get out of here...What? No I'm not going without you!brbrTina and Colleen started to leave the building. What was that roar? I had to go check. I looked at the keyblade one last time. How could Riku do this? There was a door to the left of the desk leading outside. Once I got outside I knew where that roar came from of course. It was a dragon. I couldn't believe it. I thought these creatures were just myths. I've never actually seen one. A man was standing near it. He wore a white suit and his hair resembled Rufus'. What the hell did he want? Was he the one that killed everyone here? He walked up to me.brbrSo you're the one who did this? he asked.brbrI was hoping you could answer that question.So do you know Riku...?brbrI was astounded by that question. Did this mean Riku was actually alive? I started to get mad. After all this time he was alive? Why didn't he try to find me...brbrYes I do. Why?I have to destroy him...he will be the end of this world.What!? That is impossible! Riku wouldn't do this!You think you know him? He's a monster. He murdered everyone in this building. I saw my dad get murdered right before my eyes. He has no remorse, no pity and no heart.brbrI was shocked at what he said. This isn't the Riku I knew. He pointed to me.brbrYou were helping him weren't you. There was another cloaked figure near him that resembles you.No, I have nothing to do with this...atrocity.brbrHe took out his sword. What the hell did he want with me? I couldn't have done this. Who was this other person that was with Riku? He pointed the sword at me. I knew he didn't believe me.brbrYou will pay for my father's death...brbrBefore I could say more he charged at me. I withdrew Synergy from under my cloak. I had to defend myself from this guy. He slashed at me with all his anger. I couldn't withstand his blows. My wound was beginning to hurt even more. I couldn't withstand them anymore. He kept on attacking. My pain was getting even worse. He constantly slashed at my knees. I tried to attack back but the blows I delivered weren't as strong because of my injury. He kept on changing his attack positions. I couldn't see what he was going to do next. He was too fast. I was getting tired fast. He didn't seem to budge when I tried to strike back at him. I had to take a chance. I leapt into the air... and drove Synergy straight down on his sword. There was a loud cling. Silent... the sword didn't even crack! I was exhausted. I used all my energy up for that attack. I fell down and tried to stand up. I could only kneel for now. I was just about to die until all the sudden a red flash enveloped my eyes. His sword shattered and flew back. He was confused as I was. What happened? I didn't seem to be affected at all. I saw him climb onto his dragon.brbrYou'll pay for this! I will get my revenge!brbrHe flew away... I stood up again. My chest was bleeding a little. I walked back into the room. I was about to walk back down to meet up with Colleen and Tina until I looked at Rufus' body again. The keyblade was gone...brbrI met up with Colleen and we descended the large building. The elevators seemed to be working still. We started for the 1st floor. I sat down and started to rest. This has been one bad day. I started thinking about Riku. How the hell can he be alive? I still wasn't sure if he was on our side or not. How can he be alive? I saw him die with my own eyes. I checked to see if Colleen was ok. Something was bothering her again.brbrKhanh,... have you made your decision yet?brbrThere was a brief silence. She looked like she was going to cry. She thought she knew my decision but she was wrong. I decided to go with her. I wanted to protect her. I wanted to be there for her so she didn't feel alone. I also had to see Riku with my own eyes. I stood up and walked over to her. I hugged her.brbrYou know my decision.brbrShe looked up at me. Her eyes never looked so pretty. She smiled.brbrYes, I'll go with you.brbrShe hugged me tightly.brbrThank you...
