Disclaimer: who reads this crap?

Note: sorry it took so long. Once again, I lost interest. Okay, some of the details of this chapter might be different than it should. I haven't played khI in a while, and I don't plan on getting all the way to neverland in one day.

--------------------------------

Riku was in his room on the ship, when he heard Smee through the little horn communication thing. "Riku, umm, Maleficent would like to see you. That is all."

"Huh." said Riku. "I guess she's not going to let me get any sleep." he got up and walked through the maze that was the ship's hold. He finally arrived at Maleficent's room, and opened the door. "You wanted to see me?" he asked.

"Yes, come in." the witch responded.

Riku took a few steps forward, when he noticed that his shoelace was untied wtf? Three things that aren't supposed to happen: they eat, go to the bathroom, and tie their shoes! "Damn." he said, and he bent down to tie it. When he did, the shark pendant slipped out from under his shirt.

"Where did you get that?" asked Maleficent.

Riku didn't want to tell Maleficent about the summon gem, so he quickly thought up a lie, now he was pretty content with: "I, uh, found it on the beach, one of the heartless dropped it. I think it picked it up from one of the locals. Looks cool, huh?"

Maleficent didn't say anything more. She new perfectly well what it was, but she really didn't care where or how he got it. No doubt one of the locals gave it to him.

"So," started Riku, "what did you want to see me about?"

"Oh, yes, come closer Riku. I'm about to give you a power that you couldn't even reach in your wildest dreams: The power to CONTROL THE HEARTLESS!" as she said (or yelled) this, Riku became aware of an aura surrounding him, followed by a feeling of immense power flowing throughout his body. He was unable to speak, he just smiled slyly, basking in his own power.

A few hours later, he woke up in his bed. "what happened?" he said to himself. "oh, right, the darkness."

"We have found a small vessel flying nearby," he heard over the intercom, "should we intercept?"

"Yes," he heard Maleficent's voice also.

"Also, we've arrived in Neverland."

Riku got up from where he was sitting on his bed and went to the intercom. "Weigh anchor." he said.

Riku went up to the deck, and saw that in the time it took him to get there, Sora's friends, Donald and Goofy, were thrown into the brig, but Sora still lay on the deck. He looked to his side, and all he saw was endless water.

"Where's Maleficent and Hook?" he asked Smee.

"Uhh, they went to the city to find one of the princesses, but from there, Maleficent won't be returning." After waiting a while, Hook had returned with the girl who he assumed to be the princess. Sora still had not awakened.

"Take her to the brig, but in a separate cell from Sora's friends. We don't want them getting any ideas." he said to the heartless that had just appeared. They nodded and took the unconscious Wendy to the brig. By now, Riku was bored. Sora was still sleeping, and there was zero activity from his friends. After waiting a few more minutes, however, his boredom was ended. Sora had finally woken up.

"Uhh, where am I?" asked the half-asleep Sora.

"I see you're finally awake." said Riku, "took you long enough."

"Riku? Where are we? Where are Donald and Goofy?"

"Instead of worrying about them, you should be asking about…her." he stepped to the side, revealing the Heart-less body of Kairi, lying limp on the floor, to Sora.

"Kairi!" he exclaimed. "What did you do to her?"

"Her heart has been taken by the heartless." he snapped his fingers, and heartless appeared all around him. "The Heartless obey me now, and by getting help from the darkness, I will be able to bring her back. I've also learned a new trick." as he said this, a stuck out his hand, and a dark version appeared, and stood hovering in front of him."

"You're stupid! The darkness will devour your heart!"

"My heart's too strong, but if you really care about your friends, why don't you join them?" he signaled to Smee, who Pulled a lever, causing Sora to fall through a trap door into the brig. "Put her with the other girl, Wendy." He said, and he walked into the captain's room, the heartless behind him.

"Do you think it's wise to keep him on this ship?" asked Hook, "After all, he is the key-bearer."

"Don't worry," responded Riku, "In a few moments, Maleficent will return, approving whether or not you got the right girl, and then we'll go back to hollow bastion, leaving those three fools here in the middle of the Ocean." Then, as if on que, as soon as Hook left the room, Maleficent appeared.

"well, I see that Sora has arrived."

"yes, and Hook actually captured the Princess. And I thought he was just incompetent Sailor."

"you're not wrong. He captured the wrong girl. Once again, we have been unsuccessful in finding the seventh princess. I wonder if this is possible."

"so, should I tell him?"

"Yes, and put her back. We shouldn't meddle any more. It's not necessary." after she said this, she walked through a hole in the darkness, and was gone. Following her departure, Riku left the room in order to find Hook, and give him the news.

"What?! What do you mean she's not the princess?" asked Hook, when Riku gave him the news.

"That's what maleficent said. She's not the one."

"Well, what do we do with her, then?"

"Put her back, or, when we leave, leave her here."

"After all of the trouble of capturing her?" Hook couldn't believe it, but he had no choice.

"Captain!" said Mr. Smee, "There's some movement in the hold!"

"Take care of him" said Riku to Hook.

"Why should I? the hold is crawling with Heartless, let them handle the job." Riku knew the heartless wouldn't be a match for Sora. Hook was a fool, a fool who deserved to be destroyed, and he knew just the one to do it. "Bring her to me." he was talking about Kairi.

It took Sora no time to reach the cabin, and when he did, Riku made sure Sora had company.

"Riku!" Sora said. Riku called upon the dark form of Sora to fight, and holding Kairi, used the darkness to get out of there.

----------------------------------

Riku came out of the darkness at the clock tower.

"God…" he said. "I really just need to take a break from al of this. First the heartless destroy my island, now I can control them!? Man, the irony is unbelievable. Now, I can't fight them, there's no point." after just sitting there, he heard a noise, like a curtain blowing in the wind. It took him a few seconds to realize that it wasn't a curtain, but a robe. He looked up, and he saw an aura of darkness unlike any he had seen before. To a regular eye, it would just be a floating cloak with a heart in the middle, but Riku could see its dark embodiment. Riku attempted to control it, make it disappear or something, but it just floated there. After a while, it attacked, and it looked like it was after Kairi.

Riku jumped off of the clock tower and took out his sword to attack. His sword "hit," but it just went though. "Damn! It's like a ghost or something." said Riku. He was desperately trying to get its attention, for it was getting closer and closer to Kairi. So, he shot a magic fire-ball out of his sword. The plume appeared, and went hurtling toward the phantom heartless, striking it on the back. "Yes!" exclaimed Riku. "Uh-oh." he saw that he had angered the heartless, and now it was moving towards him.

"Damn, this would be a good time for you to listen to me!" he said, shooting fireball after fireball at the heartless, and it wasn't faltering at all. Come, on! There's gotta be a weak point somewhere! he thought. Then, ho looked once again at the heart, which looked like it was the source of all of the dark energy. He flew at high speed directly towards the phantom, which it didn't expect, and he sliced completely through the heart, cutting it in half.

The Phantom Shrieked with pain, and it stuck out its hand, and dark magic appeared there. Oh, man, if that didn't do it, then nothing will! he thought. I have to get out of here! and he quickly flew to where Kairi was lying on the tower, opened a hole, and while he was flying, grabbed Kairi and flew into the portal. That was close. Wait, why was it after Kairi in the first place?…
