It was in a murky cavern that Riku stood, annoyed, and cold. He smiled thinly when he watched his damp hair drip onto the only campfire for miles.
" So, I'm stuck here with you as well. What do you want?" He asked, as he looked on at the dark figure cloaked in the pale shadows.
" I'm here to give you everything. A chance, but with it's own consequence. Are you willing to leave here and live by your own light?" asked the stranger, his dark, orange eyes never leaving Riku's form as he spoke.
" I have no inner light!!! I'm nothing, that's why I'm here. I'm meant to be nothing!" Riku yelled, his patience dissolving in a blink of an eye. " You can't tell me you still carry on with that nonsense! I have no light left!"
The one in the cloak smiled, his plan had worked. His continual torture of the boys fallen ego, his patience, and his fears. It had all paid off. The boy believed he had no place but with the heartless.
" So be it. Your good enough to have some of your nothing. Embrace it, Riku. I'm counting on your hopes being obliterated in it's darkness. You alone, the first keybearer, can change Kingdom Hearts to what it was meant to be. An eternal place of darkness!" Ansem said quietly, as he slowly prepared to push a dark keyblade into Riku's hands.
" Let us open the door for the little cat, shall we. To become a ferocious tiger, and be thus released upon his homeland. Gone be that prison surrounded by water, I'll finally let you have some fun." Ansem said, then he opened a portal to a street.
Meanwhile, Lucia was feeling out of sorts. Her head ached, her back burned, and her eye's looked glossy.
" What'd you do to her...?" Dante asked, as he narrowed his icy blue orbs, and glared at the old woman.
" I gave her pains and trials in her mind, of Riku's. She endures while you listen. Not to her, I'll keep her mouth shut... But, to your son's past... He isn't out of your reach yet, but if you don't approach him soon, he will be swallowed whole."
Dante was about to snap at the old woman when he felt his eyes go numb. His head filled with information about Riku. Things from his past, that of the last year. After a while Dante smiled, " Well, at least I'll stay current." He said, as he blacked out from the woman's spell.
A lone figure then appeared behind the old woman and dropped his cloak to her floor.
" So you succeeded in putting them both out of it without them knowing a thing." He whispered.
" Yes, sir... I did exactly as you said. Now pay me." The woman replied as she put out her hand, and opened it. Ready as only she could be to accept her payment.
" Yes, here. $400 should be enough for today. And here, $12,000 for putting that annoying demon slayer out of my hair for the last year. Can't start a underworld revolution is Dante isn't in jail, am I right?"
The old woman smiled, " Your correct... I'll keep them busy, while you start work on shaping our little prince. It's your part of the bargain that I'm worried about. Don't disappoint me, the heartless are needed if we're to over throw that annoying son of Sparda. And the ironic thing is that his grandson will be the one to rule it all."
