Disclaimer: I don't own Kingdom Hearts as that belongs to Disney & Square-Enix…WHY? -shot- This awesome Armory Themed Challenge belongs to RoseOfADifferentColor… Clearly not me. LOL
A/N: Sorry for the wait! I'm busy with exams at the moment… Anyways! Decided to center this theme around the time of the first Kingdom Hearts because I got hit with nostalgia. I'm replaying the first Kingdom Hearts until I get my hands on KH3D. ;D LOL
Now then, for this specifically… I honestly feel like this was underwhelming. OTL I knew I could make this better, but I got stuck. =/ I think some Riku/Xehanort's Heartless interaction would've fit this way more, but I really wanted to try writing Maleficient. xD Ah well, I'll do better next theme… Jack Skellington! :D Can't wait since I've been listening to the Marilyn Manson's version of This is Halloween on replay thanks to a certain Soul Eater (see what I did there? -shot- Seriously though; great anime) AMV by sarfios. XD SEARCH IT ON YOUTUBE NAO! -shot again-

It was almost scary how lifeless she was. That bright light surrounding her was gone and her face was as blank as that of a dead person, but she was alive. That is…if you could call her catatonic state 'alive'.
"Such a pity." Riku narrowed his eyes and frowned when he saw the green-skinned witch approaching. She eyed them with such false sympathy that it made him sick. "If only her she had her heart."
"I'm getting it back," he boldly declared, giving Kairi a fleeting look. "I promised her that…"
Maleficient hummed; almost amused. "How lucky the princess must be; for she has not one knight, but two."
Riku paused for a moment; smirking when he realized what she meant. "Knight? No… He still thinks this is a game."
"Perhaps you are right." Maleficient coerced before exiting the room. "But remember: he still holds the Key to everything."
Who? Sora? No. If anything, Riku was just 'lending' the Keyblade to his 'friend' until the time was right. In the meantime, Riku was fine with his placeholder weapon: Soul Eater. It had a fitting name after all; since Riku was willing to trade his very soul in exchange for power.
