All right the action begins! Now before I begin, I want to say that this
chapter only has the background in it, the characters are..., changed, so
to speak. Now, before I give it away, let's begin.

[Heartless speaking] {Thoughts} /Song lyrics/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Riku woke up.
Of course, the only way to know that you are really awake on the other side of the door is to touch your eyelids to see if our eyes are open or not, and that might prove very painful.
Luckily for Riku, his eyes had adjusted t the darkness quickly, so he could semi-see in the gloom. What that meant, he did not know.
He sat up. He had had a dream so real it seemed to be true. It had been about a boy..., called Sora...
Riku quickly slammed the door on these thoughts. They were not to be thought of. He did not know why, only that they would bring sorrow.
And Riku did not want to feel any emotions.
It was better this way, he reflected as he stood up. Emotions were weak and he was better off without them.
But that was not the real reason Riku locked his feelings way the real reason was because they brought a creature that fed on anger, grief and most of all, fear.
Heartless.
Riku began to walk in the darkness. He had always been a wanderer. He was looking for something here, for what he did not know; only that he would keep looking until he did. He did not remember anything before this dismal place. The only things he had were these dreams....
Riku locked his thoughts away as he continued to walk. He had seen city lights last night, well, before he went to sleep at any rate. You couldn't tell night from day here. He wanted to investigate it. Maybe he could get some food there, maybe even find what he was looking for, get a good nights sleep, unlike last night's nightmare....
Trying to shake these thoughts out of his head, he continued.
Soon, he came upon the city. He looked around warily. Most of the cities here were deserted, its inhabitants long gone, or long turned into Heartless, but you never know. Besides, just because it was a city doesn't mean that it was free from the Heartless.
High above, someone watched.
The familiar sound of Heartless appearing shook Riku out of his thoughts. Turning, he glanced at them.
And stared. There was a whole hoard of them! They were a type that Riku had never seen before. They seemed related to your average Shadow, but they were taller and stood upright. Their antennas reached all the way down to their feet. The Heartless squirmed and wiggled, eager for another heart to devour. They sensed his fear and amazement and began to advance.
Quickly, Riku hid his emotions. {Curse you boy.} he thought before he prepared to attack, certain that the thought of the boy awoke the Heartless.
Riku summoned his only weapon that he had to protect himself with. Two Keyblades appeared in his hands. One was scarlet with thorny vines that twisted around the weapon. Four needle sharp spikes grew on either side of the end of Keyblade. A withered black rose hung from a chain behind the handle. The other was pure black, and was decorated profusely (AN: think Dark Ultima Keyblade). On the top of this blade, a black heart hung.
His enemies hissed in fear and hate.
[Keyblade...]
Riku braced himself.
The Heartless charged.
Riku gripped his Keyblades tightly and slashed into the first few Heartless that ran up. They fell and their brothers took their place. He took 2 steps backwards and cast Gravity on them. 3 Heartless disappeared. Swinging his Keyblades around, Riku took out another 4. Hacking and slicing the creatures all around him, Riku became a machine of death.
Far above the ground, a man stood.
/Come and feel my blade of death, Who will put your mind and body to rest. Do not worry there will be enough for all, Come one come all to my singing swords call.
You are all prey to my blade, Do your best before you fade. Go ahead and kill me if you dare For I am one who slays without a care.
Give it all you got; there will be no second try. Inflect your wounds before you die. Suffer the kiss of my razor steel. For that will be the only thing you feel/
Riku had fought as hard as he could, but soon, sheer numbers had begun to overwhelm him. The Heartless, sensing him weakening had become more frenzied, their eyes glowing with the promise off a meal.
He looked up as a few Heartless jump in the air.
Riku sprang up from the ground, Keyblades crossed in front of his chest.
"Thundaga!!!"
Black lightning erupted from the crossed Keyblades, shattering the jumping Heartless. Riku took out some Heartless as he landed on his feet. He severed heads and bodies as he returned to the thick of battle.
Towering above, a man looks up
He howled in agony as a sharp claw from behind left a deep gash in his shoulder. Holding his Keyblades out in front of him, he spun at a 360- degree angle, momentarily clearing the Heartless. Riku sprinted down an ally, hoping to get way from the beasts. The Heartless followed.
On top of a building, a blindfolded man indicated the sky as meteors streak across.
Riku continued to run. He reached the end of the alleyway, only to find that it was a dead end. Cursing, he turned round, not going to go down with out a fight.
And high above, somebody gestured.
Riku stared in amazement as a symbol enclosed round him, and the Heartless who had been chasing him disappeared. Looking closer, he saw that the shape looked familiar, like a heart of some kind. Frowning he stood up.
"It's the symbol of the Heartless."
Riku whirled around. A man about his height with silver hair and a blindfold round his eyes leaned against one of the alley's brick walls.
"You made this?" Riku gestured to the glowing white symbol.
"Yes."
Riku turned his back on the mysterious man. "I don't need your help."
The man laughed. "Oh, you'll need my help Riku. That is, if you ever want to get out of here and find Sora you will."
Riku slowly turned back around. "You can do that?"
"I can do more than you can imagine. Or maybe not." The man laughed again.
Riku ignored that last comment. His mind was focused on the "I can get you out of here" part.
"All right, fine, I'll go with you. But what's the catch?"
The man chuckled. "That is very like you, Riku. There is no catch. But once we get out of this place, you're on our own. Well, maybe not."
"Okay, but what is your name?"
"Names are not important, for who is to say that names cannot change?"
Riku was getting confused and frustrated by this persons way of talking in riddles. "What do I call you then?"
The man regarded him. "It is not my real name, but you can call me Ukirmai. Ukir for short."

~{AUTHOR'S NOTE}~
Well, how did you like it? I was trying to spice it up a little. Next though, will be from Kairi's point of view, so not much action there. Oh, and gain, I purposely made the characters this way.
~{Disclaimer}~
Whoops, forget to do this for the last few chapters. I d not own Kingdom Hearts, but I do own the promise scenes (except for the "Don't ever change" Kairi scene) and I own all my VERSIONS of the characters. Oh, and I own that death poem/song. Sorry if it sucked, I just made it up.
~{REVIEWS}~
Yay!!! Reviews!!!
~Chibidragon7~
Yeah, it was supposed to be mysterious, but I guess it came out confusing. Basically though, all it was were scenes from Riku, Kairi and Sora's dreams that reminded them about a promise that in turn made them undertake a journey. But thank you for the praise, and I hope that you like this chapter!
You get the jacket that Riku wears in this chapter! (You know, the big long raincoat like in Another Side, Another Story?)
~Dark-flamin-storm~
Thank you for the wonderful compliment, I am trying to improve on this. I hoped you liked this chapter.
You get a neo-heartless doll! (the ones in the story)
Thank you to all that read and all that reviewed.
~{UPDATES}~
First of all, I am new to writing a battle, so sorry if you didn't like it.
Second of all, I have to go to this school thing tomorrow (because school starts on September 2nd) that gives me my school list, so I might not update tomorrow.
And thirdly, I will be going on vacation to Hawaii from 26th or 27th to the 30th, so I won't be updating during that time.
Hope you enjoyed this chapter.
