Ryan appeared at the scene, smirking. "RYAN! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE?!" Alex shrieked. "YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE WITH...." "Me?" Amelia appeared beside Alex's pervert friend.
Alex's eye widened and she clutched Riku's hand tightly. "Alex, who exactly are they?" Riku asked.
"The girl over there is a slut and that guy is a pervert AKA Amelia and Ryan." Alex replied. Riku knew that his girlfriend hated both people in front of them. "No way! You're not going to have Riku!" Alex screamed at Amelia.
"It's not him we're after this time." Ryan said, kissing Amelia on her neck. Alex started to laugh. "You two together. That's funny. Since both of you are the same."
Ryan smirked and waved his hand. Chains appeared around Alex's wrists and ankles. She was disappearing.
"Alex! No!" Riku yelled, "I don't want to lose you again like last time!" Amelia and Ryan started laughing insanely. Alex was now completely out of sight. "You'll pay for that!" Riku shouted.
"I'd like to see you try. Since Alex always said you were strong." Ryan chuckled. "To think you fell in love with a mage like her." Amelia giggled.
"Shut up!" Riku shouted furiously. He had lost the girl he loved again. "Riku, where's Alex?" Mickey and the others ran into the chapel. Jason and Caitlin cracked their knuckles when they saw Ryan. "Your brother and the slut are together. Any words about them before we have to fight?" Caitlin asked. "Yep. Ryan was such a stupid fool. No offense, kissin' every girl he sees. Well, except Kairi." Jason snorted.
"Thank Yevon. I was the only girl he didn't kiss." Kairi gave a death glare at Ryan with Sora.
Amelia was getting annoyed. "Enough with the chat already!"
"Where's Alex?!" Riku yelled furiously. He was growing impatient by the minute.
Amelia's lips curled into an evil smile. "Like I'll ever tell." Then, she and Ryan vanished.
"Where'd they go?!" Mickey and Riku asked. "Elysian. Alex's homeworld." Kairi and Sora replied in unison. "I think Amelia's planning to torture her slowly and then, kill her when she's weak." Jason said quickly.
"Then, what the hell are we doing here?! Let's go!" Riku ran out of the hall before another word was said. "He's fast." Caitlin muttered. "Then, you should see him jump down Rising Falls since his blindfold's off." Mickey said.
Later on...
"SLOW DOWN!" Jason yelled. "You're like Alex when we were climbing up Rising Falls." Caitlin said in-between breaths. "She's used to jumping up and down Rising Falls." Riku shrugged. "Yeah, whatever. I bet you're the one who trained her." Sora snorted, catching Kairi when she jumped.
"No, that wasn't my job. Maleficent trained her," Riku stopped jumping after he mentioned the witch's name, "I was only her partner." "So, everything she told us about you was right." Caitlin panted.
Riku said nothing and jumped the final ledge.
Mickey sweatdropped. "I hate this."
'I can't live in a world without you, Alex. I just can't.' Riku turned to look at his struggling companions.
"Aw, come on! Don't tell me you're that weak. Alex can do better." He taunted. "Can we take five now?" Caitlin whined.
"You can take five after you reach the point where I'm standing." Riku said. 'I can see why Alex and Riku make a good couple. Alex's strong-willed and powerful with magic. Riku's physically strong and invulnerable against magic.' Jason sighed.
Five minutes later....
Everyone was at the bottom of Rising Falls. "Now, you can take five." Riku instructed.
Everyone except Riku was tired out. "Why did you and Alex have to be the ones running in and out of this place?" Mickey asked. Riku didn't answer. The only thing things that were on his mind were Alex and her safety. 'We're coming, Alex. Don't you worry. I'm coming.'
They got on the ship and headed back to Elysian.
'I know you will. Like you promise me last time. We'll be together again.' Alex leaned her head against the stone-cold wall of her dungeon cell. "Why'd you have to be thrown in, girlie?" Another prisoner asked.
"Shut up!" Alex hissed. She didn't feel like talking to anyone at all. 'I can't stand living without seeing you, Riku.' Alex then, closed her eyes to relive another memory.
"You could have just picked the lock, you know." A very annoyed male voice stated.
"You should talk, keyblade master." Alex hissed.
"Is that how you treat former friends, Alex?" The silver haired male asked.
"Riku, it will corrupt you. Don't give into the darkness." Alex advised.
"Wanna test that theory?" Riku dashed at her and she leaped up.
"The darkness gave me this power, Alex. This power is what I wanted for so long." Riku shouted, slashing out her. Alex took the full-force of the attack.
Donald and Goofy just sat on the stairs, watching the two fight.
"Should we join?" Goofy asked.
"Nah, let's just watch." Donald replied.
Back to the battle....
Each time Riku attacked, Alex blocked. When he casted any spell, she countered it with an arrow.
Alex shot several arrows at him. But, he cut all of them in half and sprinted to attack her.
Without a sword, Alex felt powerless against her former partner.
"Tired yet, Alex?" Riku taunted.
"No." A familiar energy ran through Alex's veins. Her magic was slowly returning.
"Come on. Is that all you've got?" Riku taunted again.
"No, it isn't. Firaga - Blizzaga -Thundeaga!" Alex casted all three spells at once. The flames, blizzard and lightning became one and exploded in front of Riku, knocking him of his feet.
Then, everyone heard a woman, laughing.
"Maleficent! Show yourself! I know you're watching!" Alex screamed, blocking Riku's sword with her arm.
"I see you didn't even make a scratch on each other. I wonder why." Maleficent's voice wondered.
Riku flinched at that. But, Alex didn't.
"Err...She's in the Grand hall." Alex disappeared as Sora ran through the blasted down doors.
At the Grand hall...
"Ah. Alexia, I see Riku let you slip out of his sight again." Maleficent turned around to face the young fifteen-year-old.
"Cut the crap, witch." Alex snapped.
"My, you've become a badly raised one the past few days since you disappeared the last time." Maleficent's eyebrow rose. Then, she chuckled.
"What's so funny?" Alex asked the sorceress.
"Well, I suspect you know of the plans about the true darkness and the end of that boy, Sora. So, I have to kill you." Maleficent sent Alex flying. Upon hitting the stone wall of the hall, blood poured out of the wound she received from Beast.
She winced in pain. "Things are looking so bad."
When Maleficent was about to finish off Alex, Riku came rushing in.
'Bad timing, that boy has.' Maleficent looked at him and seemed to have read his mind, "I'll take care of the brat. You watch over the princesses and especially keep your eye on her." She pointed at Alex, who was still bleeding.
When she turned around and left, Alex was completely healed.
"Damnit." Alex then hissed more curse words.
"Language. Watch your language, Alex!" Riku snapped at her.
"Whatever. Why should I listen to you when you've sided with that witch and the freakin' darkness?" She snapped back at him. Riku tried so hard not to get angry. But, he couldn't contain all the anger in him fueled by his hate of Sora. Suddenly, the silver haired guy let out a string of curse words at her.
'Man, he's so hot when he's angry. Damnit, not these thoughts again. I still have to keep those out of my mind.'
"Thank God, that witch is dead." Alex whispered to herself.
Please r&r.
