Lured into Darkness

Riku

Riku saw a figure from far away, with hundreds of heartless surrounding him.

Sora? Is that Sora…..?

Riku looked back at Mickey, who squinted his eyes at the figure.

" Riku, you know what we have to do." Mickey talked in a firm voice, one he barely ever used.

Riku summoned his keyblade to him and clutched it tightly, his hands slowly slipping down.

He cautiously made his way towards Sora with Mickey by his side.

"Sora!" Riku spat out, in a shaky voice.

The rain, and darkness outside made it hard to see, but the group of heartless stared coming out, little by little they got closer to Riku.

Riku's eyes widen as hundreds of heartless leaped out of a ship.

He closed his eyes and darted towards the heartless, leaving Mickey trudging behind him.

It was bitter, and dark, like he was falling in the depths of the ocean as he was attacked by the heartless.

He clashed his keyblade on the hundreds of heartless as he made his way towards Sora.

It seemed that it would take forever to get to him with the hundreds of heartless protecting him.

There was to many, clutching Riku in all sides, plunging him to the ground violently, grasping him from all sides.

Come on…Get off….

"Riku!" Mickey's voice echoed through his head as the heartless suffocated him.

They were up to his neck, his dark blue eyes looked terrified as he tried to clutch the heartless away, reaching his hand out for help.

It happened so fast, one minute there was heartless in front of him, and the next minute they were attacking him. A strange sense of panic washed over Riku as he fell to his knees, practically giving up.

"Riku, No!" Mickey shouted out , slashing his keyblade towards Riku.

Mickey grasped Riku's hand tightly attacking the heartless out of the way.

Squeals rang out, echoing as the heartless slammed into trees, and walls.

"This is a nightmare." Riku muttered, getting up to his feet.

Heswallowed the lump on his throat and grasped his keyblade, pulling some heartless out of the way.

"Riku, don't give up. Let's go, hurry!" Mickey cried attacking the other heartless.

"I'll distract the heartless, you get Sora!" Mickey hollered.

He nodded in agreement, as he made his way towards Sora.

"Sora!" he cried angrily grasping his keyblade with confidence.

Sora came out of the darkness grasping his keyblade as well.

Sora

He snatched his keyblade getting ready to strike Riku.

No! Stop controlling me! Stop hurting my friends!

He struggled to fight with his inner self, that was being controlled by the heartless.

He grasped his keyblade tighter, with an eerie smile plastered to his face.

"I'll kill you Riku!" Sora hissed.

There was a loud slam heard as the two keyblades clashed together.

"Sora, stop! What are you doing!" Riku cried, an upset expression on his face. Sora threw Riku across the sadn making him painfully slide down the sand.

Mickey quickly attacked Sora with a purple flare of light, causing him to have a barrier around him.He took Sora higher off the ground letting him go with a painful blow.

"Riku!" Sora's eyes flashed blue, then red as he landed painfully on the sand.

Riku Stop! Please…its me…Don't hurt me!

"What happened to him…" Riku grunted painfully.

"He isn't Sora anymore, Riku don't hesitate to attack!" Mickey quickly explained.

Sora groaned and darted towards Riku in rage, attacking him relentlessly.

Please..Stop!

Hescreamed in pain, bringing his arm to his chest.

"Get him!" Sora hissed, not recognizing his own voice that came out of his mouth.

The heartless leapt, their claws outstretched and their eyes burning yellow.

Riku struggled to kick them off of him, unable to swing his keyblade from such a position. Sora gave a dark smile athim as he successfully pulled the heartless away from him. Riku gritted his teeth angrily looking at Sora, gasping for breath.

The king stood on the corner attacking more heartless, it seemed never ending, the heartless coming out. Mickey was losing to the heartless as they slowly clutched to him in all sides.

"Mickey!" Riku cried looking at the weak king. The heartless surrounded Riku grasping him in all sides as well.

They attacked him, and trapped him in a barrier. A large barrier that Riku and Mickey couldn't get out of.

No! Riku! He can't get out.They'll kill him!

The true Sora inside him couldn't do anything, not even talk. It was all over to him. He couldn't control himself anymore.

Sora let out a small grin as Riku struggled to get out of the barrier. Riku put his hands to a fist as the heartless giggled and hissed.It was all over, Sora could kill them at any moment.

Riku gazed sternly in Sora's direction, his face never changing expression. The seriousness in his face and expression was almost frightening.Sora quickly turned away looking at the shack door open.

What should I do? What's that over there? The door just opened...The true Sora inside him was struggling.

A figure came out of the shack scurrying towards Sora and Riku.

Kairi and Sora

"Riku!" a gentle voice cried from a far.

"Where are you! Its late!" she cried from far away. She slowly walked towards shore looking for Riku, putting a hand through her crimson red hair she stopped, her face in horror.

She scurried closer cupping her hand to her mouth, at the sight of the heartless.

"R-R-Riku?" Kairi stuttered through her words.

Sora closed his eyes in pain.

Please don't hurt her! Please…

Sora pressed his hands harder against his head trying to gain control again.

There is no way you are taking Kairi's heart! I'm not going to let you!
Sora clenched his head even harder, letting out a scream in pain.

Kairi's eyes shifted towards Sora in astonishment.

She squinted her eyes, couldn't believe it was him.

Kairi! Remember what you said before? I'm always with you, too. I'll come back to you, I promise…

Kairi was expressionless staring at Sora. Thinking about what he said before, and there he was right in front of him. She couldn't control herself anymore. Every tear she had been holding back, since Sora was gone, drenched down her face and hands. She fell to her knees and started crying.

"Kairi, NO!" Riku shouted banging on the barrier. Kairi wipped her tears away with her sleeve and looked up at Riku who had a terrifying look on his face.

"Kairi, its not him!" Riku yelled back pounding on the barrier.

Kairi quickly shifted her eyes back at Sora who just stood their looking at her blankly.

"Kairi, that's not Sora, it's the heartless trying to trick you! Please don't get close! Run!" he cried. Tears were welling up in Riku's face as he stared pounding on the barrier.

Kairi looked at Sora straight in his eyes, they were a light ruby color, not the crystal blue eyes Sora had. Her smile faded away as she stared blankly at Sora's face, her heart beating very fast. She felt confused glancing back at Riku, who begged her to run.

"Kairi!" he cried again pounding on the barrier trying to break free, from the yellow eyed creatures.

Riku eyes darted towards his keyblade lying on the floor.

"Kairi," his voice lowered down to almost a whisper.

"Please, trust me that's not Sora, attack him!" Riku cried.

Kairi's eyes widen as she picked up the keyblade from the ground.

"Kill him Kairi!" Mickey cried.

Kairi glanced back at the king in shock, she hadn't said a word, she just looked at everyone hoping it was a nightmare, hoping she would wake up soon.

Sora looked up at Kairi, who was shaking from nervousness as she raised the keyblade up to her hands, ready to fight.

"I can't...What if it is Sora." She cried losing the grip of the keyblade.

Sora darted his way towards Kairi, ready to strike her. Kairi's eyes widen, "Sora, No!" she screamed as he came closer to her.

"Kill him!" Riku screamed.
