Chapter Five- The Darkness

Rikku opened her eyes to see that she was back in the destroyed city of Luca. Debris and rubble lay wasted everywhere. With Sin in the distance falling apart like building blocks. A black sphere was in the sky sucking the broken Sin into it. Many a ship and in the sky surrounding the scene, including th celsius. Rikku looked around everywhere for Lenne, Shuyin or Tidus, but they were no where to be found. Instead she found leaning against a wall looking at her with ease the same hooded figure as before. "Have a nice trip, heh heh", he said with malice. "Thats funny to you", said Rikku pointing the keyblade at him. "No. It is not I suppose". How did she get here she thought. One minute she was with the others the next she was in Luca. She remembered going through the portal, her body getting cold and the wind surrounding her.

"I brought you here", the hood said walking around her. "And for what, more of your weird cynical mind games", said Rikku turning as he went around her. "No, you see...you have been chosent o kill her, the one who is...Yuna's other side." "Nemesis". "Correct, and you possess the keyblade." "She does too y'know. A black Keyblade". The hood stopped at this mention and looked at her. "S-She has a keyblade? That must be... Oblivion. The keyblade of Darkness. That would make since, but her having a keyblade of her own doesn't. There should only be one keyblade." "Tch, tell her that", said Rikku seating her self on a boulder. "Who are you anyway." "Who is the being of what and the caue of what is, you is the person spoken of in dialogue or sentence". "Well I know what the defintion of those words are, I'm not stupid." "Well I know you're not stupid, I'm just questioning the paradox of asking a masked person who they are." Rikku shook her head stupidly. Sh threw her key blad in the air towards the hooded person in which he looked up. "Made you look", said Rikku as she rushed towards the figures side and pulled the hood off before catching the keyblade and saying "AHA, your a-GIRl?" The figure was a girl! With Fair shoulder length red hair and blue eyes. She smiled, pulling away from Rikku. "Smart, I guess you did make me look after all", she laughed. "The names Kairi." Rikku stared. Her voice turned from a boys to a girls. "Surprised, I know", she said sitting herself down. "Gee, whats with the spooky looin' outfit." Kairi didn't say anything. But then she finally spoke. "I'm part of the rebelist group against Nemesis. I'm a D.A.E.V.A.S.'s member. I'm the second in command to the leader. You have been chosen to help us. You can either be with us or against us. NO is not an option."

"No, I won't join you". "Didn;t I just tell you, NO is no an option. Besides, you'll be free from any attacks by these guys." Kairi summoned a large staff with a reaper at the end, only it was a half moon crescent at the end. "Sano Blade, lets go." Shadows began to arise, large ones that configured themselves into little monsters with yellow eyes. "the heartless Shadows, they come for you and the Key", said Kairi. Rikku with kairi fought them all as they jumped in unison in the air to attack. She moved and with ease slashed through them . "Its not over yet, don't let them touch you or you'll become a heartless yourself." Rikku wished she had told her that sooner, for the shadows gathered around her and grabbed her. She was restrained, and unable to move and felt everything going dark. "Rikku No", said Kairi running towards her. But her sight went black and she couldn't see anything. But with all her might she threw them off. She lusted to destroy everything suddenly, and she was not about to take any prisoners. he dropped the keyblade and began to rapidly slash away at the entire small army of Heartless, realizing that her hands and arms were black. In the end she turned to normal and fell to her knees, tired and worn out. The keyblade came back into her hands, and Kairi put away her weapon of choice. "You never cease to amaze me Rikku", she said.

"Are you alright"? Rikku was shivering. She felt the darkness closing in on her, slowly draining her energy wanting to crave the hearts of people she didn't even know. Never before has she been so cold and her heart racing so fast. She stood wobbly on her feet and finally kept a firm ground. "I'm okay," she said smiling. She tried to shake it off. It wouldn't happen again she thought. "Now will you join us. You'll be protected, and I'm sure you can gain better skills. Not to mention we'll help train you to get stronger to Nemesis level. You can't be her as you are now. Trust me, you'll need our help. Sure you'll be absent without your friends, but we'll make it work, Savvy?" Kairi finished holding out her hand. Hesitant, Rikku thought about it. She couldn't understand why they needed her so bad, but like they said they were a rebelist group against the threat of Nemesis so they couldn't be at all bad. She shook Kairis hand and sighed.

"You gotta put this on, you'll need to hide your appearence. But first, equipment." Kairi made her put on two gauntlets for her arms and a black hooded coat like hers. "Come with me, you'll see were better than your friends".
