Sora went back to Traverse Town. There he met with Leon in the Underground Cavern, who gave him the Earthshine. After meeting with Merlin and the Fairy godmother, Sora went down and practiced with his magic, thinking he'd need it soon.

He didn't know how soon thought… but who would need it more… the savior or the villain?

Riku's Story

Riku had been with Konnor, Yume, and Kage for almost a whole week. He was stronger, faster and knew more magic then Sora ever could.

Riku was sleeping like usual, waiting for Yume to come jump on him like she had every day. When it didn't come Riku opened his eyes. He expected her to come like clock work. 5:30 every morning.

Riku got out of the bed, used to the time after a week, was wide awake. Taking a shower and getting dressed, he went to Yume's room. On the way there he ran into Eiri.

"Vhy vhat a pleasure to see you again. Actually Mistress Yume wanted you to go to her personal gummi ship. It's time for you to meet Maleficent." Eiri told him with a smile.

"I don't know where that is…" Riku told him with a defeated voice.

"I vill take you." Eire told him with a slight bow.

"Okay…" Riku said as he followed him.

Riku followed Eiri for what seemed like years. Finally they came to a place with almost a million heartless around the docks. Many different smaller gummies were there. Most of which belonging to the Maleficent. At least that's what Riku thought.

Yume was standing by a very… blue gummi ship with Kage and Konnor beside her.

"It's time you went to make Maleficent enlist in your help." Kage told him.

"It's a huge risk bringing you here, so don't mess this up pretty-boy." Konnor told him with an evil glare. Pretty-boy was the nickname Konnor had given Riku.

"Don't be a meanie!" Yume yelled at him.

"No he's right." Kage said, "You must pretend to do what ever she wants, pretend to be jealous of your friend."

It didn't take long for Riku to guess what friend she meant. "Why?" He asked.

"Because, she'll try and turn the two wielders of the Keyblades, against each other." Konnor told him simply.

Yume nodded. "Konnor's right you know."

"Mistress Yume," Eiri said running over. At one point in the conversation he had left. "The Lady Maleficent ist on the vay!"

Yume gasped. "She early!" She whined before pushing Riku into the gummi ship.

Kage laid her palm on the gummi ship. Black flames surrounded her hand for a moment. Pulling her hand back a black hand print could be seen fading into the gummi ship.

"This will take you straight to the town where he awaits." Kage told him as the ship took off.

"Do you think he's ready?" Yume asked them, worry in her tone.

"No." Konnor and Kage said deadpanned at the same time.

Eiri bowed his head to them as he left for Yume's room and left them to handle Maleficent.

"Have you tracked the sliver haired boy Riku?" Maleficent asked them.

"Of course, he is in Traverse Town." Yume said her voice solemn.

"Good…" Maleficent about to give them orders.

"Ma'am I have an idea." Kage told her with a slight bow.

"Yes, what is Kage?" Maleficent asked her in a chilling tone.

"Perhaps instead of killing him, you can draw him to your cause, make him hate his friends, and make him one of us." Kage told her.

Maleficent's eyes glow at the idea. "Keyblader vs. Keyblader… I like it…" She said with an evil grin. "Yes, yes, that's much better then killing them…"

Traverse Town

Riku was walking along the area; all of the heartless were weak shadows. The gummi ship had left him the moment he had stepped on the paved ground.

Riku sighed. How was he supposed to find Sora in this place? Suddenly he saw someone he knew. Someone he knew very well.

Riku attacked a shadow that would have gotten his friend. "Better watch out Sora." Riku told Sora with a smug smile on his face.

"Riku!" He exclaimed.

At that moment Sora attacked a shadow from behind Riku. "You should be more careful too!" Sora said with a smile.

Soon after Donald, Goofy, and Sora began talking trying to decide to take Riku along. Riku sighed. He would have loved to go with him, but then he saw someone in the shadows…

Someone who looked like the 'Maleficent' Yume had told him about.

Riku disappeared after that, chasing the women he had just seen.

Sora turned around to try and find his friend… only to find him gone.

"Riku?" He questioned, but no one was there…

Authors Note!

Okay I know this isn't exactly how that meeting went but I think I got the gist of it. Same with the next scene. This is not the end of the Chapter, I just wanted to tell you guys this and force you to read it because sometimes people don't like to read the things at the bottom. Sorry for wasting minutes of your life and one with the story!

Later that day

Riku caught up with Maleficent, she was in front of a small house. He had never expected to have her stop somewhere like here. Until he saw into the window. There was Sora, laughing with his new friends.

Maleficent walked over to him, her eyes glowing evilly. Putting an arm on her his shoulder she told him,

"See, he has made new friends, he no longer cares about you…" She began.

Riku knew she was lying. He'd have to be a pretty big idiot to fall for something like that. Especially since he'd known Sora his whole life. But… Kage told him to believe anything she said.

So he pretended to be buying into it. After a few moments of silence she said, "I could help you if you help me…"

Riku finally turned his whole attention to her. "What?"

"Your dear friend, the other one, is missing is she not?"

"Yeah…"

"I can help you find her if,"

"If what?"

"If you help me."

"Fine."

Maleficent smiled. "Welcome to the side of the heartless."

"I'm not on your side. I'm just helping you to get what I want." Riku told her with a glare.

"Tell yourself that if you wish." Maleficent told him as she guided him to the Gummi ship that was waiting for them just at the end of the world.

Back with Kage, Konnor, and Yume

Yume was pacing like an idiot and biting her nails, Kage was sitting on the floor drinking some herbal tea, and Konnor was watching Yume.

"What if something happens to him? I knew this was too big of a risk…" Yume whined pacing even faster.

"Quit pacing around, you'll burn a hole through the floor." Konnor told her in an annoyed tone.

"Yume, you need to stop worrying, you knew this was our only chance to make him one of us in Maleficent eyes. If we missed this opportunity, we might have worked for her with no hope for them left." Kage told her.

Yume bowed her head at the mention of 'them'. She knew they were right, especially Kage. She didn't want to let them down. If she did, who knows what would happen to them.

"I thought I told you to stop pacing!" Konnor growled to her, anger lacing his words.

"I know! But I can't help it! I so worried for him." Yume said.

At that moment Maleficent walked into the room.

"Everyone, this is Riku. He shall be your newest comrade." Maleficent told them.

Yume was about ready to jump on Riku when Kage's voice snapped her out of it.

"Welcome."

"Just don't slow us down." Konnor told him, not even looking at the boy.

"Nice to meet'cha!" Yuma said with her eyes glowing.

Kage and Konnor exchanged a look. Both of them rolled their eyes to each other. They didn't need to deal with her obsession. At least not right now…

Maleficent smiled with a smile of nothing but malice, and left them alone. Yume took their time alone to tackle Riku.

"I'm so happy! You made it!" Yume said hugging him.

Riku's face began turning blue. Kage stifled a giggle, while Konnor actually let a smile hit his face.

"Yume, I don't think he can breathe…" Kage told her friend with a light smile.

"Oh…" Yume said, dropping Riku with a blush. "Sorry about that."

Riku still catching his breathe said nothing. Konnor rolled his eyes, the smile leaving him quickly. Moving away from the place he once stood, he moved beside Yume.

"So what are we going to do next?" Riku asked them.

"We have to kidnap princesses…" Yume told him.

"Princesses? Princesses fro what?" Riku asked them.

"We're not exactly sure ourselves. But we hope to figure it out before Maleficent uses them for what every she wants." Kage told him, Konnor and Yume nodded their head agreeing with her.

"So where the next princess?" Riku asked them.

"Jasmine." Konnor told him simply. "Princess of Agrabah."

"Yep. I think Sora's also on his way there…" Yume said.

Kage shut her eyes for a moment and then opened them again, "Yes, you're right, he must have beaten the Opposite Armor and closed the Keyhole."

Riku stared at them. The words she said made little to no sense to him. But he was ready to learn everything they had to offer.
