VS: Alright, I'm taking a short break from RE5 (well I'm stuck anyways) so I can update this story. Also, with the school year ending I barely have any homework! Woo Hoo!
Chapter 14, Dark Side:
After stabbing the elephant in the leg Riku was tossed backwards when the elephant jerked its leg. Riku fell to the floor a few feet away from the elephant, then got into an offensive stance and prepared to charge.
"Son of a bitch!" Before Riku could do anything The elephant had charged towards him, knocking to the floor and trampling him, breaking most bones in his body.
"Cure…" Riku said weakly, fixing most of his broken bones.
Riku stood up, using his Keyblade to keep himself up, although he had healed most of his injuries a large amount of his rib bones were still broken He turned to face the Death Elephant behind him, it was now against the wall opposite to the only door out of the room.
"I could make a break for it…" Riku thought to himself, but he decided against it.
Riku tried to raise his Keyblade again, and then used a Dark Aura on the Death Elephant. To his surprise his opponent looked unaffected by the attack. Riku tried using the attack again, but it still barely hurt his enemy. Riku sighed, then charged, jumped, and attempted to stab the Death Elephant in the head again. It was able to smach him out of the air and to the floor, and Riku just laid there.
"Are you kidding me? You can defeat Xehanort's Heartless but you can't defeat a distraction? You're pathetic." A voice said within Riku's head. The voice sounded similar to Riku's but it was more like a high-pitched version of his voice was speaking with his normal voice. The voice also sounded a bit more psychotic than Riku's.
"Who the hell are you?" Riku mumbled out loud.
"I'm you, but I'm much darker, and I can completely control the darkness." The internal Riku said.
"I can completely control the darkness." Riku said.
"You can control the darkness, but you can't control true darkness, and as long as you remain as stubborn and cocky as you are now you'll never master it. Just let me take control and I'll fight this thing and show you how powerful I am." The internal Riku said.
Riku stood up suddenly, his eyes turned yellow, he touched his stomach and all of his broken ribs healed. Riku looked down at his Keyblade.
"Damn, this is it? Well I can work with it." The voice of the Dark Riku said.
Riku pointed his Keyblade at the Death Elephant, a ball of pure darkness formed at the tip, then it began to expand to half the size of the Heartless' head. The ball then started to spin, until it was in the shape of a drill. The Darkness Spiral shot towards the Death Elephant, hitting it dead center in the forehead after an unsuccessful blocking attempt with its trunk. The Darkness Spiral began to drill into the Heartless' head, then exploded, destroying the Death Elephant.
"Nothing to it." Riku said.
Two Lightning Abyss walked into the room, Riku ran towards them at an amazing speed, then appeared behind one and hit it with his Keyblade, sending it flying. He ran towards the flying Abyss, then jumped up and smacked it to the floor. He grabbed the Abyss' head, lifted it up, and squeezed, his hand now glowing black. With a flash of black energy Riku smashed the Abyss' head, killing it.
"You're next." Riku said to the other Fire Abyss.
The Fire Abyss threw a fireball at Riku, but he dodged, then appeared in front of his opponent, and punched it in the gut. The Fire Abyss keeled over, and Riku took the chance to knee it in the face, sending it flying upwards. Riku jumped in the air, and finished off his opponent by stabbing it in the gut and into the floor. His Keyblade disappeared, and his eyes returned to normal.
"That's how much power I can use?" Riku thought to himself.
Inside his head Riku could swear that he heard the laughter of his dark side.
VS: And that ends another chapter. Riku will become very powerful in the future, but eventually so will Kairi and Sora.
