Kingdom Hearts 2 // The Return of Darkness
Hey everyone. I told you I would update soon so here it is. Well I have been thinking and I was wondering if I should do a sequel because I have come up with a few endings. So if you want to see one then please review and tell me your opinion. Enjoy!! (^_^)
Disclaimer: I don't own Kingdom Hearts. (I want to own Riku though).
Claimer: I do own the character Alex and the idea of a Chaos Mage.
Chapter 9-Falling Point of View: Alex
I awoke the next morning to the sound of someone calling my name.
"Alex...Alex."
As I opened my eyes I saw Riku standing there right in front of me. I blinked a few times and he soon was no longer standing in front of me.
"Wow that was weird."
"What was?" Cloud said entering the room. "You hungry Alex?"
"It was nothing and I am absolutely hungry. Thank you." I said while my stomach gave a low growl.
"Ok I will go tell Aerith. Be right back."
I struggled to get out of bed for my hands and shoulder were still sore. As I stood up I began to take a step forward and I nearly landed face first on the ground if it won't for Cloud, who had caught me just in time.
"Thank you." I said with my face getting really red with embarrassment.
"No problem just be careful. You still are pretty beaten up." He said giving me his smile that I see and just want to melt.
I walked out of the room cautious of where I stepped. Cloud lead the way to a room that was all completely red inside and where Aerith was. She had setup a table with food on it. I then began to dig in.
"This is delicious. Thanks a lot Aerith."
"No problem." She smiled. "I do see that you are feeling better from last night."
"I suppose so."
"Well I do have something rather important to tell you and I hope you like it. Well I called up and old friend of mine and told him of your special talent. He has agreed to train you and hone your skills. What do you think?"
"That would be awesome. I can't believe it."
I was so excited that I would be training and getting to learn more about my unknown powers.
"But, first we need your help Alex. See in each world there is a keyhole and when the keyhole is unlocked the world then becomes connected. I need you to help me seal it up because the town right now is covered with heartless. When the keyhole is sealed the heartless will leave. So what do you say would you help us?" Cloud said.
"Sure I wou......"
Aerith interrupted me. "What the hell Cloud. Alex right now is in no condition to fight the heartless plus we don't even know where the keyhole is." Aerith said yelling at Cloud.
"Aerith I'm fine really plus I'm sure we could find it in no time."
"Uhhhh...ok fine but if she gets hurt any worse Cloud I am going to blame it on you."
"Ok I promise nothing will happen to her." Cloud said.
"Before you go Alex I have some new cloths for you to wear and we must bandage up you wounds."
"New cloths awesome. Thank you."
Aerith handed me a pair of white pants with several white and black belts running across the top and a black, plain tee shirt. I got dressed and was bandaged and ready to got into action.
"Ok I'm all set." I said going into their room. "Wait I forgot something." I could not believe that I almost left my bracelet Riku gave me. I put it on and headed back to Cloud and Aerith's room.
"All dressed I see." Cloud said this as I spun around to show them my outfit.
"Yup yup all set now."
"Ok, but be careful and stay close to me." Cloud said.
We exited the hotel and arrived at the alleyway. The outside was completely black and the heartless soon popped out everywhere.
Cloud drew his sword and I did the same.
"Change of Heart." I shouted.
With keyblade in hand I charged at them and began to slash. They seemed pretty easy to kill. Just with one slash they were gone and we headed for the door to the center of the 2nd District. I nearly died when I saw all of the heartless standing there. These weren't the ones I had killed earlier they were bigger and a hell of a lot more uglier, too.
"Alex run." Cloud pulled me and we sprinted for a nearby shop. The heartless came chasing after Cloud and me. We opened the door and slammed it shut.
"You ok Alex." Cloud said.
"Ya just a little shocked and out of breathe." I said. "Man how do we get out of here?"
"I have no idea, but it looks like we are going to be in here for a while." Cloud said.
"Wait Cloud there is a door back here." I walked to the back of the shop and slowly opened the door. It was pitch black in there. I took one step forward but Cloud pulled me back.
"Alex let me go in first."
"Fine." I stayed put until Cloud said it was ok to go inside.
Cloud had found two candles and lit them. The room came into view and there was nothing but books. From the ceiling to the floor stacks and rows of books stood.
"Cloud where are we?"
"We must be in the old book shop." He said examining the books.
"This place sure is dusty. How long has it been since someone was in here?"
"It looks like it has been a really really long time." He said.
I ventured off and looked for a way out. This place was so big. You could get lost in here. I came upon a book that looked rather familiar to me. I opened it up and read:
"Without darkness there is no light...
The darkness and the light depend on one
another in order to exist in this world.
If one fades so will the other..."
It went on like that explaining the difference between darkness and light. I turned around to explore more when I saw a hooded figure standing up on the second floor of the bookshop. I ran after it. I soon was on the second floor, searching for whoever it was. I turned a corner and stood in shock.
"Riku...is that you?"
Silence.
Riku turned around to face me and I soon noticed a blindfold around his face covering his eyes.
"God no. This can't be like my dream." I said.
"No, it's far worse." Riku spoke.
I looked at him and could not help but want to run into his arms and embrace him, but I couldn't.
"What do you mean worse?"
Silence.
I stepped forward and then I began to feel a weird feeling come over me. One more step and I was surrounded in a dark substance and I was being pulled into the ground.
"WHAT?"
"The darkness is calling to you. Don't be afraid embrace it." Riku said.
"No." I said, as I was being pulled farther. "I won't. I don't want to."
Catch me as I fall
Say you're here and it's all over now
Speaking to the atmosphere
No one's here and I fall into myself
This truth drives me into madness
I know I can stop the pain if I will it all away
"Don't be afraid. Let it take you."
"Never I don't want it to." I yelled "AAAAHHHH...no."
Don't turn away
Don't give into the pain
Don't try to hide
Through they're screaming your name
Don't close your eyes
God knows what lies behind them
Don't turn out the light
Never sleep never die
The pain I was feeling cannot be described. I could no longer think and my mind was becoming clouded with darkness as I was being engulfed in it. I grabbed my head and screamed.
"NNNOOO..."
"You belong there. Don't you see, the darkness is calling to you."
I'm frightened by what I see
But somehow I know that there's much more to come
Immobilized by my fear
And soon to be blinded by tears
I can stop the pain if I will it all away
I was losing control and couldn't help but to begin to let it take me. My vision was no longer there and all I saw was darkness everywhere I looked.
"Alex...hold on I am coming." Cloud said.
The darkness around me began to fade. My vision began to come back. "Cloud where are you?" I shouted. Tears came pouring down from my eyes as the pain went away. I realized that I was now on the floor.
"Alex are you ok." Cloud said as he came running to my side.
"No I was surround in darkness and...and..."
"It's ok just relax. We will get you out of here." Cloud hugged me and then picked me up.
He was soon holding me in his arms as I nearly began to pass out.
"Alex hold on...Listen to my voice."
".................."
"Alex do not pass out."
I was falling into darkness. I could not hold on. I heard Cloud's voice. I tried to come back to being conscious but I could not my head hurt to damn much. I was slipping away from him.
"Alex don't give in. They need you." Someone said. "I will see you soon. Just hold on."
Who is that? I heard myself say.
"Hang on Alex. Don't give up!"
That voice sounded so familiar. Suddenly there was a light and I realized who the voice was. "Riku!"
"Who did you expect?"
"Is that really you?"
"Ya. I miss you so much."
"I do too, but where are you?"
"I'm right here in the light." He said
"I cannot see you."
"Keep going you will find me. Jus follow my voice."
At that moment the light faded as I stepped forward. Once again the darkness took me.
"Riku don't leave me."
"It's all right. Trust me I will see you again very soon."
"But...RIKU!" I shouted.
"Alex are you ok?" Cloud said.
"What happened?" I said trying to recall what happened earlier.
I tried to stand but just stumbled around.
"Watch it." Cloud helped me up to my fee and guided me to a chair "Sit down."
"I have some good news and bad news. The good news is that I think I found the keyhole but the bad is that the heartless have been pounding on the door for the past half an hour so you need to seal it now." He said. "Follow me."
I got up to my feet and followed Cloud to another door.
"Hurry."
I quickened my pace and ran up the stairs. They led out to a rooftop. At that moment we heard the door downstairs break open.
"Follow me quickly."
Cloud came to the end of the rooftop and we could see the 3rd District below with all of the heartless.
"When I say three jump." Cloud said. "One...Two...Three."
We jumped down to the floor. We landed just next to the vacant house.
"Alex get ready."
"Change of Heart." I shouted and my keyblade was out.
"Now." Cloud said as he charged into the group of the heartless. "Alex the keyhole is over by that door."
I looked around and spotted a cream color door standing near a fountain. 'Is this the one' I thought to myself. "Well here is goes." I said as I held my keyblade up to it. A stream of light came from the tip of my keyblade and went straight to the keyhole. I heard a 'click' and the door opened. A giant heartless came out from the door.
"Cloud...what do I do?"
"Fight it." He said as he killed the last of the heartless.
All of a sudden columns came up from the ground and blocked all of the exits.
"Oh crap." I said aloud.
"Alex hold on. We can beat him together."
The heartless had finally come out of the door and was standing in front of Cloud and I. I charged at it and began to slice and dice. Cloud soon joined in and we thought we had him until it picked Cloud up and throw him against the wall. Cloud now was out cold and I had to make the finally blow to this creature. "Ok here it goes." I said. I put all of my strength into my keyblade and the tip began to glow black. I focused on it and thought of how Riku and Sora were in danger and how I missed Riku so much. I drove it into the heartless' chest and pulled it out again.
The heartless then disappeared and a shiny stone dropped to the ground. I run to Cloud. "Cloud can you hear me? Please say something." I said.
His eyes began to open and I jumped back a little.
"I'm fine. I will be ok." He said. "Alex you did it." He said just finally realizing that the heartless was gone and gave me a hug.
My face was as red as a tomato as I blushed from the hug. All of a sudden the whole town began to come back to life and the black no longer covered everything. We were about to head back when I quickly picked up the stone that the heartless had dropped.
Me and Cloud headed back to the hotel to tell Aerith our good news.
"Oh My God...where have you been? I have been worrying up a storm." Aerith said as she came over and put her arms around Cloud.
"OOOWWW!" Cloud said as he held the side of his chest.
"Are you ok Cloud?"
"Does it look like I'm ok?" He said.
"I'm sorry. Hold still while I bandage you up." Aerith said.
"Alex I don't know how to thank you." Cloud said smiling.
"It's no problem I just did what you told me to do." I said while blushing.
Aerith was soon done with bandaging up Cloud and we headed back to my room so I could rest for I was beat. As I opened the door I noticed that Kairi was gone form her bed.
"Where is Kairi?" I said.
Cliffhanger. I know you hate me for this but I just had to leave you hanging. This chapter was major long and I am sorry for that but I couldn't help myself. So I hope you liked it and please review. It would take me a little bit longer to write the next one because I have midterms and all of that good stuff. So I hope you enjoyed it. Later. (^_^)
