Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters except Maximus, although now that I'm thinking about it who actually owns Slenderman?

Warning: I realise that this story hasn't had any real mature content yet so I warn you now there is a fairly graphic death scene and some mild sexual content in this chapter, I mean if you're reading an M rated story you should probably expect that but just in case, but enough of that bollocks let's get started.

Chapter 4: Riku and Xion's Run In With Slenderman: Zidane's Thievery is Useful?

"I'am Riku the Dark Sword Meister, You will all bask in the glory of my magnificent, beautiful god like form!" said a silver haired boy standing on top of a table in a bar called Tron's Place. Everybody turned round to look at him before laughing "Get a haircut you big girls blouse" shouted someone in the bar, everyone started laughing.

Riku snorted and crossed his arms and leaned next to Xion who was sitting quietly, unlike Riku she had drunk very little and still had composure "Hey how about we move from this shithole Xion, they obviously don't appreciate greatness" he slurred, she rolled her eyes and slipped his arm over her "Yeah that's probably a good idea, you need some fresh air, how are you supposed to find and defeat this demon if your drunk"

He laughed hard "Baby the only thing I need is you to defeat that demon bastard", Xion blushed but composed herself "This is serious Riku! Why can't you be more like Kairi and Sora" she said as they made there're way out and down the street, Riku stopped and made in way into the pub, The Poison Apple, at the bottom of the street "No Riku, no more drinking!" she said dragging him back.

"Oh come on Xion, it's my old spot before I joined the academy, some of my old colleagues might be in there can we go in just for five minutes please?" he whined, Xion protested but gave in eventually "Ok fine but only for five minutes" he grinned and kissed her on the cheek "Thanks darling" he said before she pushed him.

He kicked open the door "HELLO ST. LEWIS!" he shouted at the top of his voice, "Heeeeeeeeeeeeey!" he heard in unison from everybody inside "Riku yah great pudding get your ass over here and have a drink with us" said Gaston who was sitting with Jafar, Ursula, Captain Hook, Ooogie Boogie, Hades, The Evil Queen, Lady Tremain and Stromboli.

"Hey guys how's it hanging" said Riku as he sat down at the table "Oi barman, a round for everyone" he shouted earning another cheer from everybody. "Aye well it's been great since that stupid bint Maleficunt got taken out by that Academy of yours we can get on with what we want in peace without her constant jabbering about Heartless and all that shite" said Captain Hook.

The others grunted in agreement except the Queen who looking in her mirror "Mirror, Mirror who is fairest of them all"

"Not you, you ugly fuck that's for sure!" said Hades causing the other to bark out laughing, the Queen downed an entire glass of vodka and passed out.

"Ahh the Queen passed out again" said Gaston casually, the other shrugged "Ahh just leave her there" said Stromboli as the other's kept drinking.

"So Riku what bring you back to the old hangout ehh?" said Jafar, Riku grinned and sat up straight "We're hunting Slenderman" he said simply, the other stopped drinking and looked at him as if he had grown a second head.

"Seriously? Are you out of your mind! He's the guy that kicked all of us old school Halloween monster's out of Halloween Town and replaced us with all that slasher villain shit" said Ooogie Boogie.

Riku shrugged "King's orders but it's all right I got Xion with me and that mean it's all good right Xion" he said before looking at Xion who put on the most convincing face she could muster "Yep, you rock Riku" she said, Riku and the others cheered and continued drinking.

"So have you heard the news?" said Hades as the started playing cards, "No what's up?" said Gaston, Hades looked disgusted "I heard Chernabog became one of those Demon Lords" he said, Stromboli leaned forward pulling out a cigar "Demon Lord?" he said confused.

"Apparently there some kind of order of powerful, God-like idiots who all serve some dud called Ansem of something" said Hades, Riku leaned in as well "Who else is in?" he asked curiously, Hades shrugged "Hell if I know, ever since that new guy showed up, all us old school villains suddenly aren't important, it's all about that gang of goons that now live in Halloween Town"

"Can't beat a classic" said Captain Hook earning a murmur of agreement, they kept playing cards, Xion casually watching but checking outside in case of any activity outside, she couldn't explain but she had the feeling this was going to be a long night.

Derrick Spade tried to move but he couldn't, he had gone to go get his daughter Charlotte as she hadn't come home yet but he had ended up in woods, he had begun to hear strange noises, deep booming noises like great footsteps from some far away giant. He had found pieces of paper with cryptic messages and with each piece he found, the louder and louder the footsteps became as well as a high pitched shrieking noise.

"Derrick you can't escape me, this is what your life has been leading up to, to this moment when I kill you tonight" a voice spoke, it was so quiet barely over a whisper, it filled Derrick with dread, it was the voice he had always heard but had thought nothing of it.

"Yes I'm the one that told you to study chemical engineering instead of pursuing drama, I'm the one that told you to marry Jessie instead of Tegan because I knew if you did you would have just had grief, I've kept you alive and given you this life of yours but it ends now, it's time for you to pay me back" it said again.

He tried to run but something had hold of his arms and legs, black tendrils, they wrapped around his limbs tightly until he could feel his bones begin to crack, he looked up and he saw it, his eyes went as wide as saucers and he began to sweat and panic.

It was tall, taller than any man he had ever seen, dressed in a black suit with a white undershirt and black tie, its pale featureless face filled him with fear and dread, even without a face he knew it was grinning at him; its arms stretched pulling him closer until he was face to face with it.

He screamed as the tentacles began to bend his limbs, the bones cracked and snapped tearing open the skin "Please don't do this, I've got a wife and little girl for god's sake" he screamed in agony the creature laughed, a laugh so vicious and evil it make the very earth shake with fear.

"Derrick please do not think god will save you now, I'am your only god now, a god of absolute pain and agony" it said as its tentacles began to slither into the openings in his limbs, his screaming becoming more and more louder as the tendrils moved underneath his skin and up his legs and arms into his chest, then it raised its hands and stabbed him in the eyes ripping them out and placing them in a plastic bag, it did the same thing with his nails and genitals.

It ripped out his tongue so he couldn't scream its arms inside him grabbing hold of his organs and began to pull in unison, his body was torn to shreds as the arms ripped him open, spilling blood, bile and faeces all over the ground, his innards being placed into more plastic bags. The creature then ripped his head clean off, splitting his skull open and taking out his brain and placing it in another bag, it picked up his body and impaled it on a tree and left it for the creatures of the night to feed.

Riku and Xion walked through the woods, they were holding hands to make sure they didn't lose each other in the pitch black woods, "This place is well creepy, I'm half expecting Jason Voorhees to pop out any second" said Riku as they kept going, Xion shivered and held onto Riku even closer "Don't say stuff like that Riku, you know how much I don't like it when you say stuff like that" he just laughed and wrapped his arm around her waist and they kept walking.

Eventually the two stopped and moved underneath an uprooted tree to rest for a couple minutes, they set up a tent underneath the roots, they had been walking for hours until they were in the exact centre of the woods, they hadn't seen anything yet but even without Xion's Soul Perception they could tell something was out there.

Xion shivered, there was a great darkness in these woods she could feel it, Riku looked at his partner "Xion? What is it? What do you sense?" he said looking around but it was so dark he couldn't see anything, "Evil Riku, I can sense pure evil" she said shivering, they huddled up closer inside a sleeping bag trying to keep warm.

Riku pulled her closer, "Here try to keep warm" he said as he wrapped his arms around her, she wrapped hers around his neck and kissed him. He kissed her back and it became more and more passionate with each second, she flipped them over so that she was on top, she kissed his neck as he unbuttoned her shirt.

"Riku?" she whispered as he placed his hand on her bare stomach, he didn't say anything just kept kissing her; he cupped her breasts and kissed her neck, sucking on her pulse. "Oh god" she moaned as he buried his hands into her bra, the feeling of his warm hands on her freezing body felt unbelievable, he pinched her nipples and she moaned loudly.

Suddenly there was an ungodly screech that shook the entire forest, they sat up instantly, Xion blushing and buttoning up her shirt again, she looked at Riku who grinned "We'll save the lovemaking for later, right now we need to take this thing down" he said as he stood up, he took her hand "Ready?" he said.

She nodded and transformed into his sword The Way to the Dawn, it was shaped like a straight blue, red and purple wing with a blue eye near the handle with a white angelic wing on the blade. He walked and stood in an open area; he closed his eyes and awaited an attack.

A tendril flew towards him, he moved out of the way a second before it could impale him, he spun round and sliced straight through it, severing it. "All right, come out then! Show your face to me if you dare" he shouted out into the darkness, a shape moved through the tree's, darkness began to form into the shape of a tall man in a suit with a pale blank face, in moved towards him, numerous tentacles appearing from its back waving and slithering around, "Well, well, well what do we have here? A little human child has lost his way?" a voice came out from the monster.

"Do you fear me human?" it said as its tentacles made a formation and surrounded him. Riku grinned "No I don't'" he said before he stabbed forward, a tendril blocking the attack, he back flipped and then jumped up and slammed his blade into the tendril severing it, disintegrating into black mist, the monster moved backwards like a jet propulsion.

"Fear me" it chanted, the noise becoming louder, Riku saw visions of Sora, Kairi and Xion all dead, ripped to shreds their organs displayed like a sick art project, then a vision of his father "You will never be anything more than a failure Riku" he said tauntingly, "Shut your fucking mouth!" shouted Riku as he charged forward after the monster "How about showing me what you're really made of!" he shouted, more tendrils flew towards him, he blocked them and threw the Way to the Dawn towards it, impaling it in the face.

The monster collapsed, Riku moved towards it and pulled his sword out of its face, before he could react, several tendrils flew forward and impaled him through the chest, except they didn't instead they broke through the skin but hit against some kind of armor underneath, the monster slithered away.

"You're not human are you?" said the monster as Riku, stood up straight, his skin falling off to reveal armour made up of a black, red and purple material that looked like muscle tissue, around his waist was a white cloth and the a strange symbol on his chest. The monster saw the symbol, "How did you come to wear that symbol?" it said it sent more of its tendrils flying towards him; they shattered when they made contact with him.

"Behold the power of darkness" said Riku as he charged up his dark energy, "Xion!" he shouted, his partner nodded while inside his sword, "Let's go Soul Resonance!" they shouted in unison, "DARK FIRAGA" he shouted and fired the blast, it went straight through its torso leaving a massive hole.

It collapsed to the ground, its tendrils disappearing, it began to slowly disintegrating "So much for that huh?" said Riku as his skin returned. Then strange blue liquid began to emit from the monster, Riku moved closer but began to feel unwell, whatever this substance was it made him feel ill so he stepped away.

"Xion any idea what this stuff is?" he asked as the liquid began to convulse, "Slenderman, you have failed me and you will not join my order of Demon Kings, your place in with the rest who will be consumed by the ever coming darkness" an ominous said as two large angelic wings appeared out of the Slenderman's body.

"Oh no you don't!" a voice Riku didn't recognise before, what looked like a treasure chest, landed in front of him, it opened and a massive explosion took the field. Riku was sent flying backwards while the Slenderman was completely destroyed.

Riku picked himself up and looked round, standing on top of a tree was a young man, a couple years older than him with blonde hair, blue eyes and a monkey like tail. He was dressed in a medieval like outfit and was holding a curved dagger, he leapt down and waved "Hello there Meister Riku glad to see that you are safe"

Riku frowned and Xion returned to human form "Wait I recognise you, your Zidane Tribal one of the greatest meisters to ever graduate from the academy" said Xion surprised, Zidane grinned and kissed her hand "Glad even the freshman lady's recognise my great figure" Xion blushed while Riku frowned and pushed him away.

"Don't even think about it" growled Riku pushing Zidane away, "I concur" said a voice as Zidane's dagger transformed into a girl with long black hair in a white and orange jumpsuit, she put her hands on her hips "Zidane you can't just flirt with every girl you meet, it's very uncivilised" Zidane snorted and then grabbed her by the waist and pulled her close "No matter Garnet my princess, there's always a spot in my heart for you"

Garnet kneed him hard in the gut and he doubled over in pain, she smiled at Riku and Xion "Hi there, sorry about my partner, he's a bit of an immature idiot sometimes, I'am Garnet Til Alexandros XVII" she said formally, sticking her hand out, Riku and Xion exchanged looks but shook her hand anyway.

"So what the deal with you and Kakarot here?" said Riku as Zidane picked himself up, "That's irrelevant, we were sent by King Mickey to assist in the investigation of the demon Slenderman but its looks like you took care of it" Garnet said cheerfully, Zidane however didn't look as pleased "I swear I recognize that voice from somewhere" he said as they started walking out of the woods.

Riku looked over "You mean that thing that came out of it when it died" Zidane nodded "Yeah Mickey said that this creature might have come from a certain origin and now I see he was right, that thing was definitely the leader of the Demon Lords"

Riku and Xion looked at each other alarmed "Well what do we do now?" said Riku, Zidane scooped up a tiny piece of the blue liquid.

"We take this back to King Mickey and we'll see what he has to say" he said as he summoned his Gummi ship.
