"But King Mickey, do you really have to?" Donald asked, Mickey frowned as he looked at the floor "Yes, Donald I'm afraid I do. This was Riku's only request; I have to fulfill my promise. No matter how much it hurts them." Mickey said with remorse as his key blade started to glow. Outside of the room Sora rushed to the castle gardens, "Riku!" He yelled as he approached, the silver haired teen looked up with alert. "Sora? What is it? What's wrong?" Riku asked rushing to his friend "I just heard Mickey say that you asked for me to be sent back to Destiny islands without you, is that true?" Sora questioned
Riku looked away, "yes it is." He replied "What but why!" the brown haired boy shouted "Because, this way I can never hurt you or any one else I care about again."
"But Riku…"
King Mickey approached the two boys with a smile "Alright boys, here's what we are going to do. I'm going to erase both of your memories of each other. Sora you will be going back home and you Riku, will go to a new family." Mickey watched as Sora frowned and Riku nodded sadly "No! I won't let you make me forget him! He's my best friend!" Sora cried grabbing Riku's hand. The silver haired boy looked solemnly at his companion
"Don't worry Sora, it'll be alright. It's for the best." He replied closing his eyes to avoid the brunette's pleading blue gaze. "No! It is not! I just found you after looking for a whole year! He can't do this!" Sora yelled squeezing Riku's hand, he suddenly began to glow "Riku, I don't want to forget you!"
"Me neither Sora." Riku replied, and then something appeared in his right hand. It was the Oblivion key blade "Sora, What?" Riku looked up at his quickly fading friend with confusion "Keep it. That way we will always be tied to each other in more then one way. This way we won't forget completely about our friendship." Sora said desperately, his eyes filled with unshed tears "Sora…you're such a wuss" Riku chuckled, Sora laughed as well. Then he disappeared completely, Riku gulped and tried his best not to release the tears forming in his eyes. "Riku…are you ready?" King Mickey asked now right behind him "yes, I think I am." The silver haired boy said with a sigh "You don't have to do this Riku, I could send you home." The mouse said "I know. But that island would be like a cage for me, and Sora loves that place too much to never go back, this way is better for every one. Sora will finally get to be with Kairi, and I will be allowed to forget about my unreturned feelings." Riku said lowering his head "alright it is your choice, but there is more to one's heart then you know of." And that was the last thing Riku heard before everything was consumed in bright light.
