Riku looked up at the two people before him. Sora only glared down at him through red eyes. Riku's expression turned into one of anger. "What do you mean I will be joining you soon? Yeah right! I'll never join your side!" Riku said as he stood up and began to back up to where his sword lay. In one swift motion, Sora was behind him, blocking his path to his sword. Riku growled and stepped away from the boy. Cloud and Leon stood there without saying a word but their eyes showed anger. Ansem began to laugh evilly as he stepped forward and snapped his fingers. Out of nowhere, chains flew out at Riku, binding onto his arms and pulling him down. Riku struggled against them as he fell to his knees. More chains showed up and began wrapping around his legs and pulling him down even more. He turned his face so he could see Sora who stood behind him without any expression on his face. "Sora! Snap out of it! You don't want to do this! I know you don't! Sora!" he shouted at the boy. A smirk played across Sora's lips as Riku was pulled all the way to the ground landing with a small thud. Ansem smiled at his new accomplice and began to chant as he had done with Sora. Cloud couldn't take any more of it and lunged at Sora. Sora fell to the ground, Cloud landing on top of his younger brother.
Ansem stopped chanting as he saw Cloud tackle Sora to the ground. "Sora! If you don't snap out of it I'll have to kill you! I don't want to but if it calls for it I will! Get your senses in order! This is defiantly not who you are!" Cloud shouted at his younger brother. Sora said nothing as he maneuvered his way out from under his brother. Cloud gritted his teeth as Sora stood up in front of him, towering over him as he sat on the floor. "You do not control me." Sora said as his eyes began to glow red. Cloud backed away slowly from his brother waiting for his actions. Sora's eyes suddenly turned back to their original color and a pout settled on his face. "You would never kill me Cloud! I'm your younger brother!" he said. Cloud surprised by this, stood where he was without a single word. Sora walked forward and hugged his brother. Cloud would not hug back. This was just an act. He knew it. He could read his younger brother like a book. Cloud pushed away Sora and got his sword ready for battle. "You're not my brother! You're just a replica! Ansem! What have you done with the real Sora!" Cloud asked with his sword still pointing at the Sora replica. Ansem smirked at this question before snapping his fingers. Sora disappeared from the room without a noise. Riku looked at Ansem questioningly.
"You are sharp. He is in another room but the spell really has been activated on him. His heart really is being controlled by the darkness. You'll never find out where he is." Ansem said as he looked at Cloud with evil eyes. Riku felt the chains fade away from his body. He took this opportunity and stood up, rushing back to his sword and quickly picking it up and getting into his fighting position. Ansem looked over at him. "I guess I'll have to get you later. That is, after I've defeated you." He said before sending spells toward the three boys. Loud explosions made the castle shake as they continued through the night. Meanwhile, Sora woke in a room as dark as night itself. Yet he felt comfortable sitting in the dark. He sat up and looked around him. He was in the room he had been in earlier before Ansem took him to the main room for the spell. The spell! He looked down at his body and realized that the spell had worked on him. He began to panic as this realization came upoin him. He stood up and began running towards the door but something pulled him back. He felt a sharp pain as something was wrapped around his chest and pulled him back towards his bed. He looked around frantically to find the source. There stood Sephiroth with whip in hand. Sora's eyes went wide before he tried to get away again but was pulled back again by another strike of the whip. Sephiroth smirked and licked the blood that had accumulated off his whip. Sora put a hand up to his chest where the whip had pierced. He cringed in pain as it swept through his chest. "I hear your good. I want to try you out." Sephiroth said as he used his whip again. Sora yelped in pain as he felt it fall upon his back for the third time. Why was this happening? He had never done anything to deserve this.
I want to explain something to some readers. It's about pairings. They're only called pairings when both people want to be together. Not when one wants to but the other doesn't. So there is no Sora and Sephiroth pairing or Sora and Ansem pairing. Ok? That's it! ( : ))
