Author's Note: Sorry for the late update. I was completely taken off my updating schedule because of my obsession with yarn crafts. Don't ask. You know who appears in this chapter. If you don't, check back with the earlier chapters. This chapter is short. You have been warned. Regular updating schedule resumes tomorrow: Monday.

Enjoy.

Chapter 17

Riku:

Sora's voice bounced around in my skull. I couldn't believe what he said. Not only did he murder all of these people and creatures, but he wanted me to compliment him on it. I started after him. There was no way I was going to let him get away with this. As soon as I touched the film on the doorway, energy shot through my veins…shocking me. I was thrown backwards onto the ground.

I whimpered as my body convulsed from the leftover energy.

What…the hell was that? Did Sora do that?

Kairi knelt next to me and pulled me up to a sitting position.

"Are you ok?" She asked softly.

"That energy…Yeah, yeah…I'm ok."

"Riku…your face…"

What?

I touched my face and felt the area around my eyes. A familiar piece of cloth…my blindfold! I was back to normal? I reached back and untied it, allowing it to fall down into my lap.

"But how?" I asked softly.

"I'm not sure."

DiZ?

I turned around and saw the familiar form of Darkness in Zero, himself.

"What are you doing here?" I asked.

"I heard about what happened to King Mickey. I'm here to see about the state of affairs."

"We just saw Sora. He walked through the doorway up ahead, but now the door has been sealed off by some type of energy."

"I see. Namine!"

A dark portal opened up in front of us and Namine stepped out. She looked slightly afraid.

"I'm here," She said in a soft voice.

"Where is Sora?" DiZ asked.

"He's further up ahead. Two other creatures are up ahead as well."

Two other creatures?

"What about the energy field?" I asked.

"That is being produced by Xemnas."

Xemnas was getting desperate. He was picking a fight he couldn't win. Sora was possibly insane.

"Namine, do you know who in the Organization has parished?"

"Luxord, Xaldin, Xigbar, Roxas, and Saïx."

Anti-Sora:

I was hungry again.

Who could I devour?

I sat on the clear platform in the middle of the expansive room. The view was rather lovely. I had caught a glimpse of who was pursuing me. I also felt Sora stir in the back of my mind. That person had awakened him again. I was very curious now. That person may be a threat to my existence.

"What are you doing here?"

That didn't sound like anyone familiar. I stood up and turned around. Two beings stood off to the side…

'Maleficent and Pete…'

I blinked. Did Sora just tell me their names? As quickly as I felt his presence, it was gone again.

Weird.

"I don't think you want to know that," I said with a hiss.

These two were going to become food.

"You're not Sora…" Maleficent muttered.

I smiled, revealing razor sharp fangs.

"And you're food."

I poured energy out of my body and wove it around Maleficent and Pete. With a grunt, Maleficent began to struggle against it. I shifted back into my true form and attacked Pete viciously, tearing into his chest. While Maleficent struggled, I gobbled down Pete's heart and began pulling a part of Pete's intestines out. The witch finally broke free and pointed her wand at me. I placed Pete's intestines in my mouth and jumped off his body as it erupted into green flames.

We circled around each other, waiting for a chance to attack. Maleficent lifted her wand…

I jumped into action and ran behind her. Before she could turn around, I pounced on her back, knocking her to the ground. I took the piece of intestine out of mouth, wrapped it around her neck and pulled. Minutes later, I was enjoying a feast fit for a king. I sat up and licked my lips.

Knock, knock, Xemnas…
