Once again, Review!
When Riku arrived at Hallow Bastion, he went straight to the Cathedral. When he got there, he overheard Maleficent talking with some of her associates about someone who they called the "Keyblade Master." They described him as a young boy around Riku's age, from a distant world. One of them, who was dressed like a pirate, had said that he had expected the Key Master to be from Hallow Bastion, before the Heartless took over.
"A boy around my age, could it be? Nah!"
"Oh Riku!" Said Maleficent when she noticed Riku, "We didn't hear you arrive. Do you have my item?"
"Hades said he had it covered. I didn't want to bother him. By the way, who were you talking about?"
"A young boy who is the Keyblade's chosen Wielder. Some child from a small island world."
"That's Sora!" Riku exclaimed. Wow, he thought, Sora is the Keyblade's chosen wielder? Now that's just not fair. Well, at least he's okay. "Do you know where he is now?"
"I don't know exactly, but I suggest searching at Wonderland. You can take my ship again. In fact, I'll go with you."
So Riku went with Maleficent to Wonderland, arriving just after Sora did. When they arrived, Sora was searching for evidence to prove Alice's innocence.
"Riku, why don't you check in the forest?" So, Riku went to the forest, just in time to miss Sora coming back to the Kingdom.
"Sora! Sora! Are you there? Hello?"
"Your friend's not here, only darkness."
"Darkness? Huh, Who's there?"
"Everyone, and no one, it's really a mystery."
"Why don't you start making some sense? Who are you?"
"You didn't ask that before. I am the Cheshire Cat. Pleased to meet you." The cat then revealed itself.
"What do you mean by 'Only Darkness?'"
"Oh, yes, the darkness here is overwhelming! I'd watch out if I were you!" just then, the cat disappeared, an in its place, a bunch of Heartless appeared.
Why can't I move every time I see these guys? Is it the guilt? Whatever it was, Riku got over it for long enough to decide to defend himself. He was fighting for what felt like a really long time, but was only a couple of minutes. After he killed a bunch of them, they all disappeared, and a giant centipede took their place. Riku checked to see if it was friendly, but that was before he saw the insignia of the Heartless on the worm's chest. Immediately, the Centipede attacked. Riku defended, and fought back. He swung his sword at it, but it just bounced off.
"Damn it!" he said. He knew that physical attacks would be useless, which meant that he was screwed, because he didn't know how to use magic. He thought of a magician who he used to watch on the islands.
"Fire!" he yelled. As he said this, he pointed his sword at the giant Heartless, and a giant plume of fire flew from it, striking the Heartless and killing it instantly.
Riku was out of breath when Maleficent appeared next to him. "Did you find your friend?" she asked.
"No, all I found was trouble."
"Well, I found exactly what I was looking for. Come on, it's obvious that Sora's not here." Maleficent knew that the exact opposite was true, but she didn't want them to meet yet. Riku was too tired to question what Maleficent meant by 'I found exactly what I was looking for.' Plus, he was too worried about Sora and Kairi to pay any attention/
"All right, let's get out of here. That cat gives me the creeps."
The next day, Riku went to the Cathedral from his room, and overheard Maleficent talking about Sora again.
"I can't believe he took out that heartless!" one voice said.
Sora took out a Heartless? Yeah right.
"But he wields the Keyblade. The child's strength is not his own." Another said.
"And his friends are the King's lackeys. They're all bilge rats, by the look of them." The Pirate said.
"You're no prize yourself." A fourth said.
"But the boy found one of the Keyholes." The second voice said again
"It's okay, he's no threat to us. Besides, everything is going exactly as planned…
