Riku and the 2 members of RWBY entered the dorm of SKRL. Yang and Blake noticed the mirror and the pictures of the SKRL members. Riku gestured Bake to a bed, who glared at the boy. But she knew she had no choice, so she just took a seat, unbeknownst to her, on Kairi's bed, with her arms crossed. Yang decided to take a seat on Lea's bed. She looked at the picture with him and 2 other kids, who looked very familiar to Yang. Especially the girl. It's like she knew the girl, but at the same time, she had never seen her before. But Yang knew that was unimportant at the time and turned her attention to Blake and Riku
"If you both are going to tell me to stop..." Blake started "You might as well save your breath"
"We don't want you to stop..." Yang said with a smile on "We want you to slow down"
"We don't have the luxury to slow down"
"It's not a luxury. It's a necessity"
"The necessity is stopping Torchwick!"
"And we're going to" Riku stepped in front of the tired faunas "Blake, I get where you're coming from, but... Just listen. Ok?"
Blake really didn't want to, but at the same time there was some part of her that wanted to hear what Riku had to say. She turned to Yang, who nodded her head at Blake, so Blake gave in
"Fine"
(Insert kairi 3 from kingdom hearts 1.5)
Riku sighed a sigh of both relief and hesitation "The night Sora revived a keyblade wasn't one of the most important nights of our lives just for that. It was... Also the night the destiny islands fell into darkness"
Yang's eyes widened, and even Blake had a small concerned look from what the keyblade master had just said
"The 3 of us were scattered across many different worlds. Sora was sent to a world called Traverse Town, Kairi was sent...who knows where, and I..." Riku turned over to the window and looked at the twilight sky
"I was sent to a world called Hollow Bastion. Basically the ruins of Radiant Garden. There I met a woman named Maleficent. She told me that Sora had betrayed me and made new friends. That he wanted nothing to do with me or Kairi ever again. And like a fool i believed her!" Riku's fists cliched, as Blake was starting to have more of a face of pity and sadness
"Why did you believe her?" Blake asked
Riku started chuckling, as a single tear fell down his cheek "Good question. "Why?" Maybe it was because I was lost, cold, alone, confused...scared. Or maybe it was that, in order to escape the islands, I opened my heart to darkness. A mistake in more ways than 1. By doing that, I allowed my body to be taken over"
"Taken over? By who?"
Riku looked at the ground in sorrow at what Yang asked. Within a few seconds, he looked back at the window
"Ansem. He took over my body, and by the time I realized what was going on... it was too late. He possessed my body, and I only had control over it again once to hold him back from hurting my friends. But when they escaped, Ansem banished me to the realm of darkness. And after Sora defeated him, we had to seal the door to darkness, with me on the dark side with King Mickey. Sora knew that he had to go find a way to help me and the king escape"
Riku's teeth grinded as he punched the wall, stunning the 2 huntresses "He wouldn't have to if I had been smart! He wouldn't have been risking his life to find me and Kairi on his journeys if I hadn't..." His hand slowly went back to his sides. He took 2 deep breaths and became calmer. He turned back to Blake
"If I hadn't given into my rage. If I had a more open mind from what Maleficent told me. We could have found Kairi together. We could have defeated Ansem together, and the organization. But instead I let my hatred take over. That's what we're worried about you Blake!"
Blake stopped feeling bad for Riku and looked mad. Now she wasn't angry or even distasteful to Riku, but she could feel a dark feeling creeping up on her
"Riku, I'm sorry that happened to you, and I understand what you're trying to say but this is different!"
"Really? A young powerful teenager letting her emotions take control over her. That sound pretty familiar to me!" Riku talked in a sarcastic, but slightly annoyed tone
Blake stood up, her strange feeling betting bigger "You don't understand! I'm the only one who can do this!"
"No, you don't understand!" Riku found that he was calmly yelling at this point "If Xehanort, Maleficent, or even Roman Torchwick came bursting through our doors, what would you do?!"
"I'd fight them!"
"Yeah, you would, but you would also give in to the darkness in the process!"
"Blake..." Yang tried to find the right words to calm them both down, but couldn't
"Thousands of keyblade wielders before me have given into their rage and fallen into the darkness! What makes you think you would turn out any different!"
As Blake continued arguing with Riku, she found she started pacing to the other side of the dorm "I don't know if you've noticed Riku, but the white fang isn't as big of a problem as worlds falling into darkness! We aren't keyblade wielders!"
"That doesn't mean your heart is any different from theirs"
"I don't care! I will keep on fighting. Even if it's against Xehanort or the entire organization 13 I won't stop trying to find a way to stop them!"
Riku ran over in front of Blake, who had her eyes closed, before she ran into the bed on the other side of the room "Blake listen to me! If you don't take a break and have a good laugh with Yang and the others, your heart will fall into darkness! You'll become a heartless! You'll be even worse than the monster everyone thinks you are!"
(End kairi 3)
That's when Blake snapped. When she opened her eyes, they glowed completely yellow and shot and strange dark aura
"SHUT UP!"
Blake pushed Riku. When her palms made contact with Riku's chest, they shot the same dark energy, forcing Riku back to the wall, knocking him out for a short period of time. Yang watched in horror as her partner's fists clinged, with more dark energy coming out of them preparing for a punch. She walked up to Riku, readied to punch him hard in the gut
Then she looked at the mirror next to her. She looked and saw dark aura coming from her eyes, her fists, even a steam coming from one of her legs and her back. She looked into her own eyes to see nothing but a piercing shade of gold
Riku was grunting while getting up. Blake looked at the keyblade wielder, and within a couple of seconds, after blinking, she realized what she had done. The dark aura and golden eyes disappeared into fear. Her eyes widened in horror at what she had done, her legs trembling, her arms shaking, her lip quivering, and a tear or 2 coming from her eyes
"Oh my gosh! Riku! I'm so... I didn't mean... It was and acci..."
As she tried to apologize, Riku started to get up. He walked past the faunas over to the door, as Blake looked to the ground in sorrow
"If you get some rest tonight, and learn to take it easy..."
Blake looked back up to look at the boy just about to leave with the door already open and him halfway through the door
"I'd be happy to be your first dance" Riku gave Blake a small smile and completely exited out of the door
Blake looked back at the mirror and walked over to it slowly. She put her hand on it and looked at herself. She looked at the same eyes that for a moment were golden, now replaced with eyes with bags and regret. She looked back down to the floor, when suddenly a hand touched her shoulder. She turned back up to see Yang, having a smile that wanted to help Blake. The faunus's partner tried to comfort her and hugged her. Yang wrapped her hand around her partner's solder and guided her to the bed she laid on. As she turned to the table, she too noticed the photo with Lea and the 2 other kids. Both looked familiar to Blake, but much like Yang and Weiss, it was the girl who Blake felt she knew, but at the same time, never met her before. She was pulled away from the photo by a hand that came from under her chin and came face to face with Yang
"Well..." Yang wiped some tears off her partner "Guess it's my turn to tell a story"
