Chapter 20
Riku:
Namine hadn't returned with Kairi yet. I was beyond worried and outraged. Was Sora going to murder Kairi? If he did, I would have to kill him. I would have to kill my best friend.
"Riku…"
Kairi stepped out of a portal in front of me, followed by Sora, himself. Growling softly, I summoned my keyblade and pointed it at him. Kairi looked horrible with blood all over her front and on her face. Her eyes were in terror.
"What have you done to her?" I asked.
Sora stepped away from Kairi and folded his arms.
"She's not dead. You should be glad."
Kairi collapsed onto her knees and began crying. Sora watched with a look of mild amusement on his face.
"Why would you do this?"
"I did what was absolutely necessary, Riku."
I narrowed my eyes.
"What did King Mickey say to you to cause this?"
"He ruined my life. He allowed the creation of this creature that I embrace."
Was he out of his mind?
"Sowa, we forgive you. Just come back," Donald spoke up.
"You expect me to believe that? Don't you want to know what I did to the Organization? Rather…what 'we' did…?" Sora said calmly.
"You are out of your mind," I muttered.
"Why do you have the keyblade pointed at me?"
"This has to stop, Sora. You hurt Kairi. You're hurting your friends!"
Sora stepped over to Kairi and pulled her up to her feet.
"I didn't hurt Kairi…Tell them what I did, Kairi."
Kairi shook her head, sobs wracking her little body. Her distress only made me want to kick Sora's ass more.
"I-I can't…" Kairi muttered.
"Well, I'll tell him. I tainted her with the darkness. Within a few months…darkness will surface in her. Don't you know what this means?"
Rage forced me to cross the distance between me and Sora. I punched him so hard that he flew into the wall.
"Get up, you bastard. Get up and fight your friends!" I spat.
Sora rubbed the side of his cheek and smiled. He stood up and drew his keyblade.
"So you would betray me? Fine."
I can't believe I'm going to do this. I was way too pissed to think rationally on how to handle this situation. I wanted nothing more than to rip him apart. All of a sudden, Sora took off running through the large doorway. Donald and Goofy quickly ran after him. I attempted to follow them, but was barred by yet another magical film. I cursed inwardly. He was waiting to murder yet again…
"God help their souls…"
Sora:
"Sowa, stop!"
I stopped and turned around. Donald and Goofy came to a stop at the beginning of the clear pathway.
"Are you here to stop me?" I asked sarcastically.
Donald and Goofy glanced at each other and then at me. Without hesitation, they lifted their weapons. So they wanted me dead. They were my friends when I had no one else. Could…Could I just kill them without a thought? They knew naught about what Mickey had in store for me.
"I'm sorry, Sowa, but we have to."
"You don't have to. The King's not alive anymore," I protested.
"You're not who you used to be, Sora. You've murdered people. You've snuffed out your light," Goofy replied somberly.
'They can't be swayed. Murder them.'
I recognized the voice of my Anti-existence. I hated to admit that he was right. I lifted my keyblade and started for the duo. Donald backed up and lifted his wand. Flames erupted all around me. None of it touched me due to the fact that I had energy around my body. I was intent on getting to Donald first. Goofy jumped in my path and began swinging his shield at me.
I eased backwards, looking for a hole in his defense. I thrust my keyblade in at an angle and managed to stop Goofy's spin. I took one step forward and hooked the keyblade under his shield. He hesitated.
"Goofy!" Donald shouted.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw sparks leap out of his wand. With a smirk, I let go of the keyblade and eased away. Lightning crashed down in a wide pool around Goofy. I could have laughed as I watched Goofy's body convulse over and over. Donald had cast a Thundaga spell, intending to kill me on the spot. Instead…Goofy collapsed to the floor and the scent of rotting flesh entered the air. I flexed my right arm and smiled even wider as the keyblade reappeared in it.
"Goofy…no…" Donald wailed.
I was next to the duck in an instant. He didn't bother to move.
"I really did love you guys as friends," I whispered softly.
With a laugh that would have given Nobodies pause, I dismembered Donald with the keyblade. When I was finished, there was a mixture of blood, guts and feathers scattered all over the pathway.
'Well done, host. Well done.'
"This stops now, Sora!"
