CHAPTER SIXTEEN: ONLY ONE HEART
The Riku heartless smiled at the sight of his brave friend. "Can you defeat me?" he asked. All of his six hands gripped their Keyblade's possessively. "Everything I am was a gift from you. I wonder how that must feel, to be the cause of my rebirth?"
Sora clinched his fists. He knew Riku was right. The only reason he'd become a heartless was because of Sora. "You're right. But is that the real Riku talking?" Sora asked. Since he'd been the cause, he'd be the one to save his friend.
"There is no fake Riku, so there is no real Riku," Riku replied, his voice was changing. "I am just darkness." His voice was know similar to a demon, containing a low growl and that frightening tone. Riku turned to the two girls who were cowering behind him. "Why are you afraid?" he asked. He took aim at Selphie and swung his blade at her sure it would take off her head and leave her heart for him. He was surprised when a strange light shielded her from his attack.
"It's the charm," Aerith said as she approached Riku with the others behind her. "We are also gifts from Sora, and those charms were gifts from you. Have you already forgotten?"
Riku sneered at Aerith and without word struck her with his Keyblade's. "Aerith!" Cloud cried as he caught her before she flew into the ocean.
Sephiroth ran over to Aerith and Cloud and shielded them from another one of Riku's attacks. "Sora!" he screamed as one of Riku's Keyblade's made contact with his chest. "I will keep everyone away, you are the only one that can defeat him!" Before receiving another blow from Riku, Sephiroth picked up Kairi and Selphie as Cloud picked up Aerith and they both retreated to the safety of the boats.
Sora understood what Sephiroth meant, and knew what he had to do. "Hey Riku!" Sora yelled, catching Riku's attention. "Come get my heart." Sora pointed to his chest and smiled.
"What is he doing?" Leon asked.
Sephiroth smiled and nodded his head. "Getting a weapon," he replied.
"How is letting Riku take his heart gonna help?" Yuffie asked, she was worried that everyone was going insane.
"Just watch," Cloud answered as he watched Riku dash over to Sora.
"No problem!" Riku roared and knocked Sora to the ground. Once he'd pinned Sora down he dropped the blue Keyblade and dug his free hand into the brunettes chest.
"Riku," Sora groaned, the pain was almost unbearable but as soon as he felt Riku touch his heart, a bright light blinded them both. Riku's arm was forced out of Sora's flesh and blown off completely. Surprisingly, Sora found he had no wound.
"What the hell?" Riku screamed as he jumped away from Sora. "What was that?"
Sora smiled and took hold of the blue Keyblade. "Did you forget?" he asked. "I also have a charm that protects my heart from the hands of a heartless." Sora held up his hand to show the tiny heart charm attached to his glove. "Thanks, now this will be a fair fight."
Riku smiled and readied for an attack. "Yeah, but I've still got five weapons. Perhaps I'll use their real power." Riku swung the yellow Keyblade and a bolt of lightning was cast from it's blade. Sora just nearly dodged it, receiving a small burn on his arm.
"Fine. If that's how you want to play."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Riku and Sora were at it for hours, fighting endlessly, neither one tiring or showing weakness. Riku was using each Keyblade to it's full potential, aided by the powers of fire, thunder, gravity, earth, and plant. Sora wielded only one, the power of water. One would think that Sora was at a disadvantage, but with only one he could master it, and Riku was only able to get used to a few before he had to change powers.
Riku and Sora clashed their Keyblade's together, and each time they came close, Riku would pull some sort of combo. After the many hours of fighting, Sora became used to Riku's tricks and each time was able to counter or reflect them. That of course, was very irritating for Riku.
"What's the matter Sora? I didn't think you were one for cheap shots," Riku insulted hoping it would mess with Sora's fighting.
"You're one to talk!" Sora shot back as he struck one of Riku's arms, forcing him to drop the Keyblade in hand. Sora took that chance to cut off the free arm, leaving Riku with four. "Nice!" Sora laughed as he picked up the orange Keyblade. "Earth and water go together nicely eh?"
"I won't give in," Riku muttered as he dropped to his knees. "I can't give in."
"What are you fighting for?" Sora asked. "Do you even know?"
"What do you mean?"
"You need to have a reason to fight. What's your reason?"
Riku stood up and pointed his weapons at Sora. "Because I can," he answered. "And yours?"
"To save you."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ansem was watching the fight from a safe distance, he noticed Riku was beginning to weaken and knew that Sora would soon win. "Looks like I'll need to step in soon," he muttered to himself.
"Does this mean I will not gain Riku?" a voice asked. Ansem turned to find that the voice belonged to Maleficent.
Ansem scowled at her and turned away. "What do you think?" he asked coldly.
"If you fail, you'll need to erase everyone's memory."
"And how do I do that?"
"I don't know."
"I have an idea!"
"Oh tell me!" Malecifent cried as she began to tug on Ansem's cloak nearly pulling it off.
"Gah! What are you doing?" Ansem cried as he kicked her away.
"Sorry," Malecifent pouted and disappeared into thin air.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"You're right Sora," Riku mumbled. "I shouldn't be fighting you."
"Riku?" Sora asked. He wasn't sure what to feel, except relief. "Thank goodness," he laughed as he walked towards Riku.
Riku smiled and held out his arms, as if ready to embrace his friend. Heh, just a bit closer Sora. Soon it'll be all over. Before Riku had the chance to act on his idea, he felt one of his arms fall to the ground. Sora had attacked him and he'd lost the power of gravity.
"You should keep your guard up," Sora snickered as he bounced away from Riku. Riku was growing tired of the whole arm killing idea. Though he didn't feel any pain, it was still interfering with his fighting.
"Enough games!" Riku screamed and lunged at Sora, his attack was interrupted by Ansem, who suddenly appeared between them.
"That was a very nice show Riku. I almost believe you to be serious," Ansem muttered as he glared at the Riku heartless.
"What is he talking about?" Sora asked. Confused at why Ansem had stopped their fight.
"Sora? Why have you been able to take off three of his arms, while you have few wounds?" Ansem asked. Sora thought about that question for a moment, but failed to find an answer. "Because you're not the only one the Riku heartless is fighting."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"What is he talking about?" Kairi asked everyone. Selphie and Aerith were both resting in Clouds arms and Leon, Sephiroth, and Yuffie were watching the battle.
"It's fighting with it's heart. If Riku's heart was strong enough to take over the heartless that devoured it, imagine what it's doing to the darkness clouding it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"That's right," Ansem growled. "As we speak, Riku's heart is fighting the darkness and trying to return to it's body."
Sora glanced at the secret place. Riku's body is in there. Maybe if I bring it here, it can call the heart back. Without another word Sora dropped the Keyblade's and began running towards the secret place. Ansem didn't like the look of things and decided to follow. "Leave me alone!" Sora yelled as Ansem chased after him.
Riku was still standing where Ansem and Sora had left him. He seemed to be in a daze, until he heard Sora scream.
"Let go of me!" Sora cried as Ansem grabbed him by the leg causing him to trip and fall into the sand. Poor Sora, he was only seconds away from his destination when he was caught.
"If Riku will not kill you, I will!" Ansem laughed evilly as he pulled a dagger from his cloak. Before he had a chance to stab Sora, he felt something pick him up and force the weapon out of his hands. "Ouch!"
"Sorry, but I'm gonna kill him," the Riku heartless joked and tossed Ansem in the direction of Sephiroth and Cloud. It just so happened that Ansem was lucky enough to land in Sephiroth's arms.
"Put me down!" Ansem yelled as Sephiroth squeezed him tight.
"A new friend! I love you to!" Sephiroth giggled and began dancing around with the angry Ansem. Ansem tried to cast a random spell, but found it was impossible since at some time Cloud had tied his hands together. Ansem was at the mercy of Sephy now, poor Ansem.
Everyone laughed as Sephiroth and Yuffie began to dress Ansem up in girl clothes, everything seemed to be back to normal. "Hey, where is Sora and Riku?" Kairi asked, noticing the two had disappeared.
Everyone looked towards the secret place and found Sora and a normal Riku coming towards them. "Riku's all better!" Kairi shouted happily. Aerith and Selphie woke from their naps and joined the group in the celebration.
"Hey all!" Riku laughed as he was hugged by his many presents.
Ansem took this chance to free himself and escape. It wasn't like anyone cared though, he'd already gotten his punishment, dressed like a rag doll.
Everyone was even more excited when Wakka and Tidus came out of the club house laughing. "Hi everybody!" the two boys called, oblivious to what had happened.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Later that night...
Sora and friends were all sitting on the beach eating hamburgers and drinking soda. Everyone was there, all the presents including the moogles and zombies. Tidus, Wakka, Kairi and Selphie. Everyone was having a good time. Little did they know, all their fun was about to end.
Leon stood up with Cloud and caught the attention of the large group sitting around the fire. "Can I get your attention?" Leon asked as he looked around. Every became quiet and looked at him.
"As you all know," Cloud began. "Our jobs are done here. Though we don't want to..."
"You need to go home." Riku said bluntly.
Cloud and Leon slowly nodded at him. "Yes, it would be a good idea. At the end of the night, everyone including the presents, will forget what happened. Even Ansem," Leon explained.
"Why will everyone forget?" Sora asked.
Aerith smiled and patted Sora on the head. "Remember that storm? As soon as it disappears tomorrow and the light hits us, the light will destroy all of these dark memories. Because none of this was supposed to happen," she answered.
"That doesn't make any sense."
"There are no plot holes!" Sephiroth screamed loudly.
All the presents gathered in a circle and waved good bye as they faded away into the darkness of the night.
"Man I'm tired!" Wakka yelled as he fell onto the sand.
"Dude, you've been practically sleeping all week!" Riku exclaimed.
"Yah well I was dead. Not sleeping."
"Wakka's right. It's late," Kairi agreed as she yawned. "I'm going home."
"Me too! See you guys tomorrow!" Tidus laughed as he jumped up and grabbed Wakka by the arm. "C'mon Wakka! Let's go home!"
Wakka pulled his arm away as he stood up and brushed the dirt from his pants. "Can't you go home alone?" he asked.
Tidus put his hands on his hips and shook his head. "Duh! I'm scared of the dark now!" he exclaimed offensively.
"Tidus, your such a baby!" Selphie teased. "Bye you guys!"
Tidus, Wakka, Kairi and Selphie all headed to their boats and sailed off to the main land, leaving Sora and Riku alone.
Sora stared out at the ocean and smiled as the cool wind hit his face. "I'm glad it's all over," he stated before turning to Riku. "You?"
Riku brushed his hands threw his hair and nodded. "Yeah, I was tired of being the target of an evil scheme," he laughed.
"I'm sorry."
"Heh, it's okay Sora. I'm just glad everyone is okay. If anything this whole ordeal brought us closer together. Don't you think?"
"Yeah. To bad we'll forget tomorrow."
"Yeah, but at least our hearts won't forget."
"We may have a million memories that can be lost, but we've only have one heart."
The two boys noticed a bit of sunlight break through the clouds, and they watched as the clouds parted and light filled the sky.
"Hey Sora," Riku mumbled before his memory of the past few days vanished.
"Yeah?" Sora answered wondering what it could be.
"I told Kairi you loved her."
"Riku! How could you? You're gonna pay!"
"If you don't forget!" Riku laughed as he ran away from Sora who was holding a large stick. But soon they stopped running, for they'd forgotten why they were running around and decided to head home.
THE END
SORA AND THE MAGIC SHOES
Sora returned home one evening from Destiny Island and passed by a box of shoes in the road. "Who would leave such good shoes?" he asked as he picked up the box and stared at the shoes. The shoes were beautiful and new. They looked like a million dollars, with their red and black lines all over the white body. Sora couldn't help but put them on. "AHHHH!" he screamed as they became tight on his feet.
"Muwhahah!" he heard the shoes laugh evilly. "Foolish mortal! I am the Great Shoes of Destruction, and you have placed us on your angelic foot!"
"The shoes talk!" Sora screamed, he tried to pull them off, but they wouldn't budge. "Get off!"
"Never! You must find us a wife first, if you don't...We'll marry you!" The shoes exclaimed.
"Marry me? But I'm a guy!"
"Doesn't matter, We are shoes!"
"Get off!" Sora had to get the talking tennis shoes off somehow, that's when the Kingdom Key appeared in his hand and he began beating on the them, trying to force them off.
"That hurts!" the shoes cried in pain.
"Good! Then get off!"
"Never!" the shoes laughed and tightened on Sora's foot.
"My foot's gonna fall off!" Sora cried once more, these shoes were really annoying. "Fine, but remember you asked for it!"
The shoes only laughed at the silly boy as he began spinning the Keyblade around in his hands. "You can't hurt us!" they laughed.
"FIRE!" Sora shouted as he pointed the blade at the shoes and a ball of fire shot out and hit them.
"Ahhh!" the shoes cried. "It BURNS!"
"Yes BURN BURN BURN!" Sora screamed, laughing like a maniac. "Feel the wrath of da KEYBLADE MASTER!"
"We're sorry!" the shoes cried as they freed themselves from Sora's foot and disappeared.
"Now that's how life's supposed to be!" Sora laughed, before returning on his journey home.
THE END
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
YUFFIE'S DAY AT THE CAFE
Yep, just as the title states, Yuffie is at the cafe. For why you ask? Well now, I'll tell you. After she and the others departed from Riku's home, she found she'd acquired a very strong interest in closets. Naturally, she wanted a closet of her own, and naturally she had no money. After weeks of searching she was finally given a job at a small cafe down the street from where the store with her precious closet stood. It was the first day of work and she wasn't going to ruin it.
"I'm so happy!" Yuffie giggled, as she headed towards work. She already had $30 dollars saved and with one day of work at the cafe, she would have enough for the pink and orange closet she'd been wanting since the day before.
"I wish I could be happy," a voice said behind her. Yuffie turned to find a sad looking monkey heartless standing behind her.
"Huh?" she asked as she raised an eyebrow.
"If you spare some money I'll leave you alone," it told her.
Yuffie glared at the heartless. That stupid monkey, she thought. Stupid little monkey with red eyes and purple feet. With dumb head hair that meets with the tip of it's nose. "Leave me alone!" she barked as she kicked it into a pole.
"That hurt!" the heartless cried. So it turned into eight big monkey heartless and laughed at her. "Give me your pocket money!" it roared.
"Ahh!" Yuffie screamed and began running away. It wasn't long before she wondered why she was running from the creatures. Maybe it was because they were big, smelly, ugly, and stupid. Yes...STUPID....Really stuuupid. So, she stopped running and looked the eight heartless in the eyes. "You talking to me?" she asked in a western kinda voice.
"Yes!" it laughed, still evilly.
"You'd better watch out!" she warned it loudly.
"Why?"
"Because I am in the MOB!" she laughed and somehow two giant machine guns appeared in her hands. Since the guns were there, she decided to use them and proceeded to shooting everything around her. Including the cafe she was to work at, and the store with the closet she hoped to buy. After realizing what she'd done, she dropped the guns and ran over to the dead closet in the window of the store she planned to buy it from. "My baby!" she cried as she hugged it.
"Muwhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah! Another greedy mortal without a job!" the eight monkey heartless laughed, but they shut up after Yuffie threw her dead closet at them.
