~~Sora53: Riku ish very evil in this chappie...
Fans: He's always evil.
Sora53: I'll keep this short, because I know you can't wait to read!!!~~
Disclaimer: I don't own Kingdom Hearts. I own Corita. Yup.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"You know I'm right." Riku said, standing up. Corita's hand instinctively reached for the handle of her staff. "You've always been the extra one. The odd man out. Just another member of our island community who we had to accept."
"What the heck are you taking about!?" Corita cried, her grip tightening on her staff.
"Sora and I were always best friends. You were just the extra one. When Kairi came to our island, you started to develop a strong friendship, didn't you?" Riku asked, standing up.
"Well..." Corita said slowly. It was true; she and Kairi had always been good friends, especially when Sora and Riku were in their 'girls are icky' stage.
"Don't you want to see her again?" Riku asked. "Your one true friend?"
Corita stood there, silently gripping her staff. In front of her was Riku; he'd proven to be a traiter when they were inside Monstro. Yet...in a way...he was right.
"It may be true..." Corita started slowly. "That I've always been the extra one. I know you and Sora were once best friends, and you often excluded me. That is, except when you wanted to throw coconuts at me. Still, I know that Kairi's strong. She'll survive, wherever she is. I know that she wouldn't want me risking my neck just to save her." Corita said. "Even if...even if we were best friends..." She finished in barely a whisper.
Riku, who had been listening to Corita's story, took a step towards her. Corita tried to step backwards again, but just ended up knocking her head against the door.
"Oww..." She muttered, rubbing the back of her head. In the moments that it took for her to recover, she found herself surrounded by Heartless.
"Wha?" Corita said, looking around at the bunch of glowing yellow eyes. "What's with the Heartless?" She said, grabbing her staff.
"The Heartless obey me now, Corita." Riku said eerily as the Heartless crept closer to her.
"Wow. I'm trembling." Corita said sarcastically as the Heartless's claws scratched the ground. One of the clawed creatures reached out, and with lightning-quick speed, knocked Corita's staff out of her hands.
"You should be." Riku said as the Heartless lept onto Corita, darkness surrounding her.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Grr...where is she?" Donald said, tapping his foot impatienly.
"Maybe...she's still searching?" Peter Pan suggested.
"No. Corita has an amazing sense of time. She'd know when 10 minutes were up." Sora said.
"Do I hear a slight tint of worry in your voice?" Goofy asked curiously.
"I'm not worried about her!" Sora said. "Corita's tough. I'm sure she's fine."
"You always worry about her." Peter Pan said cheerfully.
"Can we stop making fun of me?" Sora pleaded. "Let's just keep moving forward. I'm sure we'll meet up with her later."
The four of them slowly made their way towards the captain's room, which led to the deck. Sora had said that he wanted to go there, but he wouldn't mention why.
"Watch out below!" Goofy called as he toppled off of Sora and Donald. The three of them had pulled down a ladder off of the ceiling that led to the room above. Peter Pan was watching with an amused look in his eyes.
"Couldn't you have just flown up there and taken it down?" Donald asked.
"Could have." Peter answered as he floated through the air.
"Why didn't you?"
"Too lazy."
Sora grabbed onto the ladder and slowly started to climb it. Behind him, Goofy and Donald slowly ambled up it as well. Peter Pan just flew up.
As Sora's eyes became level with the floor above, he saw the one thing he had no desire of seeing.
"Riku, wait!" Sora cried as he pulled himself up from the ladder. In front of him stood his former friend, a funny smirk on his face. Cradled in his arms was the unconscious form of Kairi. Riku stepped backwards into a small pool of darkness, and a dark creature appeared in front of him. As Riku dissapeared, Sora found himself staring into the eyes of himself.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"How do we know which one's which?"
"Just keep slicing at them!"
'Antisora', as Sora had dubbed him, kept splitting into 3 different Soras. They kept jumping out of the floor and striking at their feet. More than once, they knocked one of the 3 non-fliers off their feet.
"OWW!" Donald cried as he flew through the air and landed on his belly. "Where's Corita when you actually need her?"
Eventually, however, they figured out which one was real; he was easily defeated after that. Antisora dissapeared into a pool of darkness, back into the shadows.
"C'mon." Sora said calmly as Antisora was vanishing into the floor. "Check the hatch over there. I think it leads to the room where Wendy is."
Donald waddled over to the hatch on the floor, but Peter Pan beat him there. Peter ripped open the hatch and flew down to the floor below.
"Wendy!" Peter Pan cried as Sora, Goofy, and Donald fell down to the room. Peter was holding Wendy's head in his arms. It looked like she was unconscious.
"C'mon, Tink, not now!" Peter said, waving Tinker Bell away. "Well, this is as far as I can go. I've gotta help Wendy." Peter said as he picked her up. He flew upwards through the hatch with her without so much as a goodbye.
"Let's go." Sora said after a quick glance around the room. "Let's get up to the deck." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Quite a codfish, that Riku-running off with those girls without even saying goodbye." Captain Hook said, out on the deck. Sora and his friends had made it back to the captain's room and walked out to the deck, where a group of pirates had surrounded them.
"Run off where? Tell me, where did he go?" Sora said angrily, waving the Keyblade in the air.
"To the ruins of Hollow Bastion, where Maleficent resides." Captain Hook said. "But you won't be going there." He said with a twisted smile. He held up a small cage with a glowing light inside. Squinting, Sora could barely make out the tiny form of Tinker Bell.
"Unless you intend to leave your little pixie friend behind?" Captain Hook asked gleefully.
"No..." Sora said slowly. Sora's head drooped sadly, and the Keyblade dissapeared in a twist of light. A group of Heartless pirates surrounded them, and Captain Hook spoke again.
"Hand over the Keyblade and I'll spare your lives! Be glad I'm merciful, unlike the Heartless." He added with a slight grin. "So, which will it be...the Keyblade, or the plank?"
Behind them, there was a slight ticking noise. Looking over the side of the ship, Sora saw a giant crocodile floating in the water.
"It's him! The crocodile that took me hand! Oh, Smee! He's after me other hand! I can't stay here!" Captain Hook cried in a panic. "Go away! Oh, I can't stand the sight of him! Smee, you take care of them!" Captain Hook said, running to his cabin and slamming the door. During this time, the Heartless had forced Sora onto the plank.
"Wow, what a baby." Sora muttered calmy to himself. With a glace behind him, Sora saw that the crocodile was now positioned right under the plank with his mouth wide open.
"Fly, Sora! Just believe, and you can do it!" Came Peter's voice quietly in Sora's ear. Sora closed his eyes, and lept off the back of the plank. Hoping Peter Pan wasn't lying, Sora pushed himself through the air, and felt the soft currents brushing against his face. Looking back, he saw the crocodile growing smaller and smaller....
He was flying.
