Dark Revelations

"STOP"

Foot steps clatter over stone roof tops.

"I SAID STOP DEMON"

The panting of a female voice rises and falls faster and faster, the rain drops splashing under her steps.

"Target is moving south aboard roof tops, armed and dangerous and chasing suspicious character".

A silvery glare shined as the female shadow stopped, realizing just what the glare was and what it was coming from.

"Looks like I finally found you...Demona, isn't it?"

The female figure grinned a flashing smile of white razor sharp fangs at the demanding voice, a blue skinned female gargoyle responded to that name. "I should have known better then to send a human to take care of you, so tell me my dear young Riku what's on your mind?" Demona asked. Her hypothesized hunter was indeed the dark, and dreary cloaked/rain soaked silver haired Riku. The boy had been searching for Demona for a while now.

Ever since Multock had attacked Riku in the Dead Plug bar, Riku had focused all his energy and resources into unmasking his supposed killer. Questions needed to be answered like why was a price put on Riku's head? Who is this Demona creature? What did she want from Riku? And most importantly, what connections if any does Demona have with the Order of Lost Souls? "To collect two things, information and your head" Riku said.

Demona laughed, raindrops filtering down her blood red hair and pale blue scaled cheeks. "I don't take threats from humans seriously nor do I take human beings seriously at all" Demona replied. Silver hair strands dropped a few cold droplets of rain from Riku's hooded head as he approached Demona, the gargoyle grinned. "I don't have time for your crap wench, I'm going home and no scaly faced hell spawn hag is gonna stop me" Riku said.

"HA, you don't scare me pitiful human trash, even with those pixie sticks you call swords there's nothing that's going to AACK" Demon howled. The slicing pain of steel edged deeply into the wounded flesh of her tail stung painfully into her dark brain. Blood oozed from the gargoyle's tail, Riku's silvery blade had been powerfully slammed into her tail and into the ground. The dark hooded Riku smiled, "Sit tight Demona and scream all you want.

But your winged ass isn't leaving an inch until I hear what I need to hear. My species won't change the inhumanity I'm about to unleash on you, unless you start talking right freaking NOW" Riku screamed. Demona winced feeling her neck, and chin forcefully shoved upwards by the brunt of Riku's other keyblade. With one blade holding Demona down and the other aimed at slitting her blue skinned throat, Riku left her with very few options.

"Talk before I see if there's a free toy prize inside your worthless body" Riku snarled with spit flying from his enraged lips. The bulging green eyes of the fanged female saw that despite his age, Riku was mad enough to end her dark twisted existence. Rain drops hammered over Riku's blade as he raised it up high, Demona panicked and shrieked "ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT. I'll tell you whatever you want (hiss) filthy human garbage.

I assure you that you will pay for" "SHUT UP AND TALK" Riku said, jamming the blade up Demona's neck once more. Eventually the winged warrior woman sighed in regret and nodded to Riku's threat. Closely Riku leaned in and listened as Demona spoke "I was hired by another to kill you. When the worlds started to shift and break down, a mysterious voice contacted me psychically. The voice told me that a lost boy was coming.

This...strange voice told me that some strange child with a blade shaped like a key was coming and that I should stop him. I searched all around for someone matching his vague description but I found you. The human Multock was the first of many to offer their services to capture you, in return for a (cough) fictional sum of money. But the voice said that it knew you'd succeed over any bounty hunter, and it said that we were destined to meet.

That for some reason, some strange foretold purpose, I was supposed to meet you, and lead you". The information sunk deeper and deeper into the weaving world of Riku's boggled mind. Demona felt the blade press a little bit deeper onto her blue skinned neck, Riku hissed "Lead me where?". A gigantic light flashed over the struggling strangers, it was from a hovering police designed craft of some kind. Riku and Demona stared at the ship.

"Don't move a muscle monsters, I wouldn't want my bounty to get lowered because I reduced you little freaks into Swiss cheese" a female voice said. Inside the space ship was a woman with ice cold blue eyes, short blonde hair, and a grey bodysuit. The woman was none other then Fonne of the MAD Police Corporation. "Price on MY head? You lie human scum" Demona hissed. Riku shouted "Back off this doesn't concern you at all.

This beast your after has information I want and AAARHG" Riku collapsed with blood gushing from his back. Demona had slashed her razor claws across Riku's back while he wasn't looking, she then remove Riku's keyblade. The blood soaked sword was yanked from Demona's tail as she hurled it with all her monstrous might at the hovercraft. Fonne shrieked as her side engine was shattered by the keyblade, smoke and fire appeared.

"FREEZE! The two of you are under arrest, you have the right to remain silent you" the female officer said before being cut off by her partner. "Screw the policy Natsuki let's just nab them before they get away" a much older female said. The one called Natsuki was a green haired cat girl in a black body suit, with a multicolored jacket labeled "hyper police". Natsuki's partner was a long grey haired woman with the same outfit named Sakura.

Demona wasted no time in escaping, her talon claw toes and wings flexing as she leapt farther and farther away at incredible speeds. "NO, I WILL NOT BE DENIED, NOT NOW" Riku screamed. The dark boy leapt off his boots and soared like a raven after the fleeing Demona. Sakura took flight off her long black leggings and white boots, the 9-tailed fox girl chasing after Demona. Natsuki pumped her limbs into full speed to capture Riku.

Purple and blue wings started to flap, Demona was planning her escape. "That does it missy you've officially been grounded" Sakura said as she unloaded her magnum pistol into Demona's now shredded wings. Screaming in blood gushing agony, the female gargoyle collapsed with broken wings. Black boots were jammed firmly into the base of Demona's neck by Riku's quick foot work. Natsuki and her flying foxy female partner Sakura arrived.

In no time the bounty hunting humanoids were aiming their weapons at Riku, the boy savagely snarled as he kept his keyblade before glaring eyes. "Move kid before I make our bounty a double" Sakura snapped. Riku frowned a cold, emotionless stare, "You'll get what's left of her back when I'm done with her". Sakura growled and fired off another bullet; Riku flinched and deflected it with his keyblade. Natsuki slowly approached him.

"Look sir please we really don't want to hurt you, but the bounty on that gargoyle is too dangerous to be leave with a stranger. Besides we have strict orders to keep whoever you are sir out of trouble" Natsuki said. The orders given by none other then Auron and Washuu were as followed, the Hyper Police had to keep Riku far away from dimensional transportation. Fowl future forecasts predict a dark and gloomy destiny if Riku manages to leave.

Demona leapt to her talon toes and grabbed Riku by the throat, powerful scaled forearms crush around the hooded boy's dark cloak. But a quick witted Riku was able to crush Demona's foot hard enough to make her let go, followed by a slam to the face with a keyblade. A golden heart shaped plate like metal dropped from Demona's loin cloth pocket. "NO the phoenix gate" Demona cried. Sakura shot the disc away with a fire from her pistol.

Riku blinked and immediately leapt over another roof top to chase after that skidding disc. The young boy didn't know what this phoenix gate was, but it can't be good if someone like Demona wants it. "Play time is over junior" Sakura said as she soared quickly after Riku. Natsuki raised her arms high in the air, and watched as her energy endowed animal allies Fujin and Rijin locked onto her wrists. "LEND ME YOUR POWER" Natsuki screamed.

Colossal Tsunami sized surges of raw electricity were violently discharged from Natsuki's power sparking little friends. Demona and Sakura look back in screaming gasps, seeing the massive showering of destructive electrical energy. Both flying females bolted from the thundering chase after Riku. "Whatever this thing it better help me RIGHT FUCKING NOW" a madly terrified Riku screamed, diving for the Phoenix gate and closing his eyes.

The golden heart shaped metallic plate encrusted with a phoenix shape on it flashed with fiery magic. Demona screamed a vengeful cry of agony through bared fangs and blood red eyes. Riku was gone. A flash of fiery energy magic encircled Riku and vanished along with him, Natsuki was speechless. "Uh...maybe I over did it?" the cop cat girl squeaked. Sakura and Demona both groaned in union with smoke coughing out "Ya think?".

The mysterious flashing ball of fire suddenly dissipated, Riku blinked baffled light green eyes. Instead of on the rooftops clashing claws with the Hyper Police and Demona, Riku now found himself in a dark, dank, fowl smelling room. Blackness surrounded Riku, his silvery white hair the only light in the fowl smelling pit of hell and rusted metal. A sparking ceiling lamp weakly flashed to life. Riku gasped at sight of a second dark figure.

Riku gasped "What the? (Angrily raises his keyblade in defense) HEY! Buddy, you better show yourself before I get".

A voice boomed "Will you breathe the light, or drown in the darkness?".

Riku stuttered "W-w-w-what?".

The voice repeated "Are you deaf as well lost? Will you breathe the light, or drown in the darkness?".

Riku screamed "GOD DAMMIT I HEARD YOU!".

The voice cackled "Then why didn't you answer me child?".

Riku frowned "Because I don't reason with psychopaths, but I got no problem killing one. I demand you show yourself whoever or whatever you are".

The dark figure laughed, a cold blooded, spine chilling laugh that sent shivering creeps up the widening eyes of the trembling Riku. The man was tall, draped entirely in a blood red coat with a large hat, black boots, old fashioned white shirt, and yellow sunglasses. Pale faced skin revealed in the dim light of the basement, the man also had long pitch black hair. Riku gulped at sight of a silver magnum in the man's hands, aimed at his skull.

The man grinned "You demand nothing of Alucard child".

Riku blinked "Alucard?".

Alucard licked his lips "Yeeeeesss. That's it, learn my name well child, and let it haunt your dreams as you suffer in the fiery gates of HELL".

Riku sweated furiously "SHUT UP! What in god's name do you want with me?".

Alucard smiled "You still don't get it do you? (bares vampire fangs) I am here to warn you of the path you are about to choose Riku".

Riku gasped "H-h-h-hey how'd you know my name?".

Alucard shouted "SILENCE! Foolish child, your in too deep to go back home now. Destiny Island is a pipe dream boy and it's going to stay a dream until".

Riku blurted out "Until what?".

Alucard grinned "Until you choose".

Angrily Riku tore his dark hood from his silvery haired head and screamed out, angry enough to start tearing out his hair.

Riku roared "CHOOSE WHAT? I don't understand what you're talking about. Destiny Island is my home and Kairi's home as well and she is the reason I exist. I've gotten this far by following my heart, and I'll continue to do so until I am back with her".

Alucard boomed "FOOL! Your heart is blinder then you are, there is a dark grand design in the works and we are all caught up in its twisted workings. Every living creature in this or any other reality is involved as well; we are all apart of this dark plan".

Riku said "Dark Plan? You mean this has to do with that mysterious voice that Demona spoke of?".

Alucard half smiled "I see you're not too stupid after all. But yes Riku, she was merely a pawn in the game of life as are Solego and his Lost Souls. Powerful as they are those obsessive fools are following the path that destiny has set for them, they have no idea what will happen once Solego returns. And mark my words Solego WILL return, it has been FORESEEN".

Riku growled "Then why aren't you trying to stop him? If Solego is bringing about the end of the world then we need to".

Alucard shook his head "Wrong again as usual. Solego is not the problem, it's what will happen AFTER him that will start the fire. You and Sora however are the match to the gun powder, it is my mission to stop you from reaching him. If the 2 of you continue on your current paths, the apocalypse will be upon us. Neither of you must reach King Mickey's Castle at ALL costs".

Riku gasped "What are you babbling about? Neither Sora nor myself are like you or Maleficent; we've dedicated our lives to destroying evil and trying to find our way home. We are NOT EVIL".

Alucard chuckled "Perhaps, but your heart was poisoned by darkness once before and that doesn't make you very trust worthy now does it?".

Riku screamed hatefully "Shut up, shut up, SHUT UP! I AM PURE HEARTED NOW".

BANG! The smoking pistol fired a bullet that sliced beside Riku's cheek, a small sliver of blood dripped down the boy's baffled face.

Alucard hissed "Life is a journey child, a journey that is different for each and everyone of us. While we may not know the path somewhere there is a greater being, a puppet master if you will who is stringing us along, leading us to where we are MEANT to be.

The powers that be know the darkness that exists in your destiny, you must cease and go back before it's too late. Judgment day can't be stopped but it can be postponed Riku. There are many players in this game, and they know of you as well Sora and Kairi.

All of you have your part to play in it and WILL pay it but mark my words Riku. The chosen path is but a single one, only you have the power to change it, only you can control the decisions you make. But, if your heart remains bound by the black chains of blind love, history WILL repeat itself".

Slowly the red coated vampire starts to vanish, and as he does the room around Riku follows. The boy was being transported somewhere. A final booming voice echoed from Alucard just before departure, Riku gulped.

"Remember...will you breathe the light or drown in the darkness?"
