Kingdom Hearts: The Darkness Within

               By: Dimitri Plabato/Drake Dragon

Chapter Five: The Darkness Within

Four people; two males and two females... All four keyblade masters yet only two of them knowing it... Our heroes were all enjoying a nice romantic meal when a bright light could be seen coming out of the secret place and blinding everyone on the island.  After the light had dimmed down; shadows were all over our heroes... and not just their shadows, the heartless.

"What the fuck!" said Sora as he summoned the Ultima inside of his hands and stood in front of Kairi "I don't know! The heartless, they found a way out!" Riku said as the Oblivion appeared in his hands and he stood in front of Nicole.  Both young teens were scared, it could be seen in their eyes.  "Hey you two, get out of here now!" yelled Sora talking to Nicole and Kairi.  The girls nodded and then started to run as more shadows rose around the island "Shit, it's no use, we're surrounded...!" yelled Riku as he and the rest of the group huddled in one circle and Sora and himself prepared theirselves for a battle.  The heartless stood there; still as if waiting for something... Riku and Sora stood still as well; waiting to see what was going to happen.  A lone shadow Sora then rose to the front of the heartless pack and a replica keyblade appeared in his hand.  The heartless then rose his keyblade in the air and yelled something like a battle cry and then all of the heartless started to attack.  Sora and Riku looked at each other and then lifted their keyblades and ran towards the heartless.

Sora then ran toward one group of heartless while Riku did the other, both staying close to the girls who were now trying to find a way to help out.  Sora ran and sliced at his group of heartless and then they simply disappeared.  As he kept slicing, more and more different forms started rising to attack him.  He took his keyblade and rose it to give the group one more slash until; the shadow sora from the beginning rose to his side and caught the keyblade in his hand.

Riku, in the meantime was circling around the girls and fending off every heartless that came his way.  There were hundreds of them; a few of kinds that were familiar and a few that were not.  Shadows kept multiplying around Riku and he kept breaking them down, he kept hitting; until his keyblade was caught; by the shadow version; of himself. 

Sora smirked at the shadow version of himself as the shadow did the same.  It raised its keyblade as Sora did the same and they both brought them down against each other.  "I must say... you have improved since we were all locked up inside of Kingdom Hearts..." the heartless said as he struggled to keep up with Sora's slashes "What!? Since when can you talk; and yes I have, so have you; you might just be an equal match for me..." Sora said as he kept getting blocked by the heartless' keyblade.  "We evolved while being in the light so long, we learned to tolerate it, but no matter what; you understand nothing; and until you do; you are nothing, I am the final heartless; created by Ansem before he was destroyed by you; therefore my mission in life; is to get Revenge!" yelled the heartless as he took his keyblade and slashed Sora against the cheek and he yelled out in pain.  "SORA!" yelled Kairi as she attempted to step forward but was blocked by Riku "NO! STAY THERE!" he yelled

Riku then turned back around towards his new opponent; himself or should I say the Shadow version of himself "Wow, you're new..." Riku said as he starred at himself and watched as the heartless smirked "Heee.... I know..." it said Riku was surprised, because never had he seen an heartless with emotion and more human like qualities, but he did not have time to think about it further as the heartless then brought it's replica Oblivion down Riku's chest, cutting a deep hole in him.  "AHH!!" Riku screamed out in pain "RIKU!" yelled Nicole and Kairi but Riku was not the only one in trouble...in fact, both Sora and Riku were... really getting their asses kicked.

"NO!" yelled Kairi "Sora, Riku! GET UP! PLEASE!" yelled Nicole to the two keyblade wielders who were both bleeding on the ground "Please!....get up!" the girls yelled as two lone tear drops; found their ways down to their hearts.........

Keyblade...

            Keyblade...

                        Keyblade...

The two girls then started to glow and rose up into the sky.  The heartless stopped their attack and then watched the two females and backed away slowly... Weren't there only supposed to be three keyblades? One the Ultima; wielded by Sora; Two the Oblivion; wielded by Riku; and Three the Kingdom Key; wielded by king Mickey.  No one said anything about five; and the heartless were pretty sure that two more keyblades we're being born.

"What's going on!?" Sora yelled looking at Kairi and Nicole in the sky.  "I have no idea..." Riku replied the two girls then glew a bright white, causing the heartless to back up a little.  As they landed back on the ground; two key like objects materalized in their hands.

"The Alpha; given to a princess of heart... the keyblade of the stars." said a mysterious voice; coming from the secret place "And the Omega; given to one who had their hearts unlocked...the keyblade of Destiny..." "Wield them well; as they hold your destines as well as those hearts of others." said the voice as it faded into the darkness

Kairi and Nicole then opened their once green eyes to revel a pair of now white eyes, before they turned back to normal and the key like objects in their hands actually became keyblades.  One was white; with black and red stripes running down all across it, While the other was completely black with a heart of light on its handle.  Hanging from both of them was the kingdom chain.  Kairi and Nicole then opened their eyes once again, reviling their normal color and then they stood in battle mode.  ((not really a song needed battle but if you want go and grab the opening to .Hack//Sign, i'm listening to it))

Sora and Riku looked at the girls and then back at each other. "What's going on!" The two girls just smiled as the heartless then started to back up from them and started to regroup "Well this one was not expected..." said Shadow Sora "But it must be handled! Shadows Attack the two girls!" said the Riku Shadow as their eyes grew red and the heartless started to run towards the two girls.

The two girls then looked at each other and did the impossible...they grinned.  Something was not right. Kairi then picked up her keyblade and sliced the air... but due to that, 100 of the heartless headed towards them all evaporated.  Something definitely wasn't right... The two girls then leaped up in the air and begun to slice the heartless into pieces without a sweat.  Of course Riku and Sora both knew how to fight when they recieved their keyblades... but not like this. 

The heartless were growing thin in number and the heartless copies of Sora and Riku then backed up to the originals and growled... "Heh, well this was unexpected but we will handle it later, this mission was just to kill the two of you!" said Shadow Riku as he and Shadow Sora smiled and then started to bring their keyblades down on our two heroes... well at least they were going to until Sora and Riku smiled and caught the keyblades, their energy and health fully healed.  "What!? HOW!??" said shadow Sora as it pulled it's keyblade back from it's real counterpart "Heh, well, while everyone was preoccupied with Kairi and Nicole, we cast Curga on each other now..."said Sora as he and Riku jumped back to be back to back with Kairi and Nicole "we are fully healed and ready to send all of you heartless back to the abbesses of hell!" he finished "HEHEHEHE...HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" laughed Shadow Riku and Sora "Well well well... resourceful we must admit, but... you all DIE HERE! Heartless RISE!" then the entire island shook and was overtaken by shadows... heartless were everywhere, over 100,000 of them in one place; surrounding Destiny Islands...

Sora, Kairi, Riku, and Nicole all leaned on each other back to back... they were surrounded, no matter how powerful they are, they couldn't stop this many heartless at one time.  Then shadow Sora and Riku opened up a dark portal and smiled as they entered it... "Goodbye keyblade wielders, the darkness within you awaits..." said Shadow Riku "Heartless...DESTROY THEM!" yelled Shadow Sora as it fully walked into the portal as is disappeared.

"Shit... we're screwed.." everyone said at the same time while looking at the heartless that surrounded them.  "Well, it's best to go out fighting, but hey you guys, I love you all." said Kairi "Heh, same here, but I don't intend on dying here." said everyone else "Well then, I guess, we FIGHT!" yelled Kairi as everyone raised their keyblades as they collided with each other and then a bright light grew in the sky causing the heartless to back up a little bit. Time then froze, leaving only the Keyblade masters awoke.

Keyblade... Ultimate Power... Komachi... "What?" said Sora, looking in the light "Keyblade masters, your keyblades have united, causing you to unleash the second ultimate power in the world... the Komachi... the gateways towards heaven and hell...protect  the world's from the heartless as well as yourselves...because the Komachi is a dangerous power...only to be used in extreme situations, because; it involves the powers of the world and all of its inhabitants, overuse can destroy it; as well as yourself. Be careful!" said the voice as the light faded and the figure disappeared and time reawoken. 

Then out of nowhere; two separate keyholes appeared; each matching the color of its key.  The keyblade masters Kairi and Nicole then stood there and placed their keyblades into the holes; unleashing the powers of the Komachi... "Rise of the heavens unleash your strength! Power of light, over the darkness! As the hearts of the pure; destroy those who have none! Komachi Alpha Heaven!" yelled Kairi, having now idea where she learned the spell at as Nicole then placed her keyblade in her hole and chanted a spell as well." Darkness located in the abyss of hell! Burn with an undying passion of hate and unlock the darkness within my heart and show it to the fools who stand to oppose me! Komachi Omega Hell!" and then the sky changed in color.  The sky started to grow a bright white as the ground grew a dark red, the two lights collided and engulfed the Destiny Islands and slowly started to destroy the heartless.  Then, after all of the heartless s were gone, the keyholes disappeared and the two girls fell "Kairi! Nicole!" yelled Riku and Sora as they ran towards the two girls "Hey Riku! Sora! Grab on; we need to get out of here now!" yelled Selphie, Wakka, and Tidus as they hung outside of a Gummi Ship. Sora and Riku then grabbed the girls and jumped into the ship as it speeded off into the depths of the final frontier.

{???}

"Well...that really wasn't expected now was it?" said the Shadow Sora looking at Shadow Riku "Not really, but we kind of figured that they would destroy them all." "Yea... now... I think it's time that we enlist some real help...isn't that right...Sesshomiru" said the shadow ((I don't own Inuyasha, but I really couldn't think of a good enemy))"That's right, those kids are good as dead..."said Sesshomiru as he laughed and faded out into the darkness

Gummi Ship; Armageddon}

"What's going on!?" asked Selphie as she walked over to where Riku and Sora were now treating Kairi and Nicole's wounds. "I have no idea..."replied Sora as he looked up and spotted Leon staring at the two females "Are they okay?" he asked "Yea, they should be fine...I just want to know what the hell that attack was that they used and how they got keyblades..." said Riku looking up at Cid "Don't look at me, neither one of us have any idea what's going on... all I know is that me and Leon got a call to come and save you guys, that's where we are headed now; Disney Castle." said Cid "Good; we need answers." said Sora and Riku as they fell to the floor, asleep.
