Chapter 2: Night of Destiny
It was later that night that a storm besieged Besaid Island, but this was no ordinary storm, as Riku soon found out. He'd been walking around enjoying the night when he saw some very familiar monsters... monsters he thought he had sealed up for good. "Heartless!" Riku exclaimed. He took the charm off of his necklace and tossed it up into the air where it transformed back into the Keyblade. Riku caught the Keyblade and got into a fighting stance. "You want me? Come and GET me!" Riku yelled as he attacked the Heartless.
The noise woke up Cloud and Squall. They stepped out of their houses to see that Riku was once again fighting the Heartless! The two glanced at Riku before rushing back inside and getting dressed. They came out and made their way over to Riku to help him fight off this new wave of Heartless.
While Riku and his friends were distracted, a shadowy figured headed to where Riku lived with his friends, Sora and Kairi. As the figure tried to take Kairi while she was sleeping, Kairi awoke and screamed awakening Sora who jumped in front of her to protect her. As he did that, there was a flash of light, and another Keyblade, this one with a star keychain attached to it, appeared in Sora's hands. Sora blinked at his new weapon for just a moment before starting to attack the shadowy figure. Try as he might, Sora couldn't damage the shadowy figure and was thrown back long enough for the the shadowy figure to take Kairi and head out the door. Sora followed them and was blocked by Heartless. He fought bravely against them and kept on chasing the figure eventually losing him. But what surprised him was what he saw ahead of him. Riku, Cloud, and Squall were once again fighting the Heartless! Sora ran to help them and deftly took out some of the Heartless with his new Keyblade which surprised the other three.
After the Heartless were destroyed, Riku turned to his friend. "Sora, how did you manage to get that Keyblade?" asked Riku.
"I don't know how it happened," said Sora, "but I got it when I fighting this shadowy figure that took Kairi. Riku, we've got to find her!"
Riku slaps his forehead. "That's why the Heartless attacked me! They were being used as a distraction to keep me from heading back to you guys!"
"Yea," said Squall. "Only now we've got two problems to worry about: Who has released the Heartless, and why they've done that."
"Not to mention where they've taken Kairi," said Riku.
"Does this mean I'm coming too, Riku?" asked Sora.
Riku grinned. "It sure does, Sora. Whoever sent that Keyblade to you must've known we were going to need some more help this time around."
Cloud nods. "Two Keyblades will be a much greater help this time around than just one."
"Yea," said Riku. "But I wonder... Who released the Heartless?"
"Oh, you should know, Keyblade Master," said a voice.
