Note to all of my readers: I hope you like this chapter because this is where everything goes wrong. Though this may be bad to my poor Riku, he gets himself into A LOT of trouble, but on the bright side, I have a new cousin. Her name is Lura and she was born just three hours ago. Isn't that wonderful? Anyway, please review for the first and second chapter because I feel as if reviews mean that people like my stories.
Riku: readers deeper into the chapter and cries out Why, oh why have you done this to me?
Me: turns away and growls Cause you're in love with her.
Riku: stares blankly who's that?
Me: The girl.
Riku: Yeah well, you're the authoress here!
Me: Ah well…
Chapter Two
Riku stepped out of the Gummi ship, feeling very shaken from the smooth going ride turned rough. He could sense the darkness in every corner of this world. He looked around him, finding trees everywhere. They were a dark purple color and he could tell, despite their color, they were healthy. Riku tentatively stepped through the forest of dark purple plants, hoping to find some sign of civilization. Just as the thought entered his mind, he saw a huge building like a sky scraper standing in the middle of the forest. Around the skyscraper were houses and other buildings lit up by an orange glow. Riku shuttered. This place reminded him of the World That Never Was.
"Where am I?" he asked himself for the second time that day.
He got no reply and didn't expect one as he walked up to the city. He hadn't listened to Mickey and his senses were down. He walked in the street, looking around at the black buildings. And then he spotted a looming castle standing in the center of the city. Riku blinked and stared at it. The castle was black and a white symbol was imprinted on each tower. Riku knew the symbol well. It was the symbol of a Nobody, a white heart. Then next to each huge white heart, there was a black and red heart on each side; the Heartless symbol.
Riku's eyes grew wide as he backed away, "Okay, enough snooping around here!"
"Snooping around? Well, well, well, Riku we never expected to see you here." A harsh voice flooded through Riku's ears and he spun around with rage and found the Heartless fake Ansem standing before him.
Riku's Way to Dawn appeared in his hand as he yelled at Ansem, "Go away, Ansem or I'll get rid of you for good!"
Ansem smiled his evil grin and responded coolly, "That never worked before, who's to say it will work now?"
"I do!" Riku snarled, throwing himself at his long time enemy, trying to cut Ansem, but Ansem dodged the attack easily.
"You're weak, Riku. And I want your body back so I can finish what I started." Ansem growled.
"I'm not letting you take control over me again! My heart's grown stronger than before, I can resist you this time!" Riku shouted, rushing towards Ansem again, only to be thrown back and land into the side of a building.
Ansem walked up to him as Riku dropped his Keyblade. "That may be so Riku, but all I have to do is weaken you and then you're mine." Ansem glared at Riku as he punched the eighteen year-old in the face.
Riku felt pain explode through him, just adding to the pain that coursed through his whole body. He grunted as he fell to his knees right beside his Keyblade. "Giving up already?" Ansem sneered.
Riku had other plans though. He was going to get back to the king and tell him that this world was dangerous in any way possible. Riku was not going to become a prisoner to darkness for a third time! He reached out to grab his Keyblade, but Ansem's boot slammed onto his fingers. Riku's teeth clenched in pain as he lost all feeling in his fingers. He looked up at Ansem and growled, "Damn you!"
He reached for his other hand, quicker this time and gripped the Keyblade, and swinging it upward. He hit Ansem in the stomach and quickly jumped to his feet. It was then that pain laced through his whole body, making him fall back down again. Riku looked at himself with pity. The fight hadn't even started and he was losing. He was stronger than this! He knew he was!
Ansem glared at him, but a smiled was planted on his face. "Wondering why you can't fight?"
"Shut up!" Riku snarled, trying to hit Ansem again, but this time Ansem kicked the Keyblade a few feet away out of reached.
"I'll tell you why. It's because you're in the realm of darkness and you're fighting it, not being one with it, like me." Ansem grinned and picked Riku up by the collar.
Riku bared his teeth together before trying to yank away from his enemy's grip, but it was no use. He was a prisoner again…
Riku sighed, not wanting to give up, but even as he stood there, he could feel the darkness fighting him from within. "I won't give up." he told Ansem before looking the man in the eye. Ansem just smirked before knocking Riku out, but Riku didn't know how he had done it.
"Riku…"
Riku looked around him. That voice, it was so fimilar. "Where are you?" he called out to the darkness, not seeing anyone.
"You came." The girl's voice ranged through the darkness. Riku spun around as he saw a flicker of light before she appeared.
"Who are you?" he asked her.
"I am a friend Riku. I am here to help you." She replied simply.
Riku looked at her strangely, "Help me? How? Are you with Ansem?"
"No. I live in this city though."
"Wait a minute. If this is the realm of darkness, then why does it look like this with a city and everything?" Riku asked her.
She looked at him smiling sadly, "Ansem did this. He roamed the darkness until he controlled it and took it over. Now there is no such thing as calm darkness, only evil and cruel. But Riku, you must wake up now or terrible things will happen"
"Wake up…?" Riku's eyes flung open only to find himself in a room he had never seen before.
Riku: WHERE AM I?
ME: How many times are you going to ask that?
Riku: Shut up!
Me: glares I can't tell you where you are, find out yourself!
Riku: Then type the third chapter!
Me; Okay okay!
'I suddenly grab the Destructor and whack a Riku fan taht's a girl away yelling, He's mine!'
Riku: Then why do you do this?
Me: Oh hush! You'll be glad in the end, you just watch!
Riku: But I thought you were making a squel. (i can't spell!)
Me: I am, maybe!
Arkath/Scalvatrx: Aren't I supposed to be in here?
Cloud; (has that Anime thing on his forehead showing he's mad) WOULD YOU EGT OUT OF HERE!
Arkath/Scalvatrx: Wha? What did I do to you?
Cloud: Hmmm...Let's think you-
Me: 'Covers Cloud's mouth' Hush! You'll give things away for 'A Shadowed Heart'!
Coud: 'glares' peh! Like I care!
Me: Hey! I let you-
Riku: Now it's your turn to hush!
Me: Oh grr!
