Namine was looking up at the night filled sky as she sat on the clock tower of Twilight Town, her eyes full of horror as she looked at one star in particular. All she was doing was sitting her, finishing her evening snack (which was of course sea salt ice cream) when she noticed it. But as soon as Namine saw it, she knew what it was, and she knew that it was not good.

"Alright, I am here now Namine, so what is it you need me for?" A new voice said, approaching Namine on the clock tower. Namine looked over to see Xion, the person she called up her, had finally arrived, rubbing her eyes. Even though the day had only just turned to night, Namine knew that Xion must have been sleeping, since Xion was not a night person. But Namine did find it odd that Xion feel asleep in her new but now normal attar, which was a white shirt underneath a shirt black jacket with shorts and black boots that almost made it to her knee.

Namine said nothing at first and only pointed at the star, which was blinking. Xion only looked at the star in horror. "Is that… A world falling into darkness?" Xion asked, Namine only nodding in agreement.

Xion only took a deep breath. "Namine, please tell me, what world is that?" Xion asked.

"You don't want to know." Was Namine's response. Xion knew what that meant, she knew what world was blinking out.

So with that new information, Xion ran towards the stairs that would get her off the tower. "Roxas!" Was the only thing that came out of Xion's mouth as she ran.

(The Force in You – Kingdom Hearts Re: Chain of Memories) As soon as Sora looked up to only see the pitch black sky, he knew that it was not good. He silently admitted to himself that he knew it would not be perfect like it has been forever, but he wasn't expecting that perfectness to end that soon.

"We need to get out of here now!" Sora exclaimed as he ran to the beach, Riku following right behind him. Sora knew where they had to go, they had to head for the spare gummi ship that he, Riku, and Kairi decided to keep here just in case something like this ever happened again. So Sora first ran up to Kairi and grabbed her hand, running with her, with Tidus, Yuna, Rikku, Paine, Selphie, Wakka, and Riku running behind them. They could only run for a few short minutes before heartless appeared behind the group. Riku, being the one who was the furthest behind the group, was the first to bring his keyblade out and slice a few of the small but more powerful than usual shadow heartless.

"You guys get out of here! I'll hold them off." Riku said as he stood in his battle stance, ready to face the creatures.

"What? No way! There is no way we are going to leave you behind!" Sora exclaimed. But before Sora could say anything, Paine stepped forward and stood next to Riku with her weapon out.

"He is not going to be left behind." She said, "You and Kairi go, the rest of us will stay here and hold the heartless off until you come with the gummi ship." Paine and Riku where then joined by Rikku next, then Wakka, then Tidus and Yuna. Sora only gripped his fist together tightly, not wanting to leave his friends alone, but he knew it had to be done.

"Fine, but you guys stay safe!" Sora exclaimed before he and Kairi ran towards the back of the island, where the gummi ship was waiting for them.

After dodging several heartless along the way, Sora and Kairi finally made it to the part of the island that was covered in trees and ran through them. In the center of these trees was a plain that had the gummi ship hidden within them. Sora knew that they had to get there fast because even though they had only left Riku and the others alone for a few moments, he was not sure how much longer they could hold up. So Sora and Kairi quickly ran through the trees and towards the ship.

After running through the trees for what seemed like forever but in reality was only a few seconds, they finally saw the clearing where the gummi ship was. Sora looked at the red and yellow ship in awe before he and Kairi ran towards it. Sora was the one out in front, since he and Kairi stopped holding hands for the moment. But then when Sora continued to run, he turned to see that Kairi was not following, and that she came to a sudden stop. "Kairi, what's wrong?" Sora asked as he ran to her, only to run into the invisible force field keeping them separated.

"Sora, I can't get through!" Kairi said, pounding on the force field with everything she had. Why did this show up? Sora thought to himself. The first thing that came to his mind was that the huge shadow heartless would come and attack him again, since that is what happened last time Destiny Islands fell into darkness. But when Sora looked around to see no heartless in sight, he was confused.

"It's good to see you again, Sora." The spiky haired teenager heard within the force field. Sora knew this voice all too well and turned around and was shocked to see Riku resting on the gummi ship, his back leaning on the wing.

"Riku? Why are you here? I thought you were helping Tidus, Yuna, and the others!" Sora said confused. Riku only snickered at this comment before he got off the wing and stared into Sora's eyes.

"So you really don't remember do you? It looks like she wiped out your memories of that place after all." Riku replied as darkness appeared around him. When the darkness faded, Sora saw that Riku was no longer in his normal attire, but he was in his dark suit that he wore when he was possessed by Ansem.

"Riku, what are you talking about? And what are you doing? Has the darkness taken you?" Sora asked, but Riku did not reply. He instead summoned his keyblade, not Way to Dawn, but Souleater. Sora looked at him shocked by this as Riku continued to speak.

"Don't call me by that dreadful name! You may not remember who I am now, but those memories of me are somewhere in that pathetic heart of yours." Riku exclaimed. "And it doesn't matter what I am talking about, I just need to finish you once in for all, like he has planned!" 'Riku' then charged at Sora, prepared to kill him.

Riku, Tidus, Yuna, Rikku, Paine, Selphie, and Wakka where fighting off as many heartless as they could, only waiting and praying for Sora and Kairi's return. Riku sliced through several more heartless as he turned his head for one brief moment, not seeing Sora or Kairi in sight. Come on Sora, Kairi, we can't hold them off forever! Riku whispered to himself.

As the seven of them continued to fight off the shadows, something quickly appeared from the ground that made Rikku and Selphie screech. Riku then turned to see that what came out of the ground was a horde of neoshadows, jumping high into the air and right towards the two girls. Riku quickly acted and jumped in front of the girls first, thankfully slicing them with his keyblade before they touched any of them. "Are you two alright?" Riku asked, turning his head slightly as he was the two girls nod.

But Riku did not have much time to at after that however, since as soon as he turned his head back around, more heartless and neoshadows had appeared. Riku huffed at this as he ran towards them, Way to Dawn raised. Riku figured he get rid of most of the heartless by himself, since even though Tidus, Wakka, Selphie, Yuna, Paine, and Rikku where a lot of help and all, they have all only fought the heartless a few times in their life, not having as much experience as he had. So that is why Riku charged at the heartless so fast, with so much power, slicing through as many as he could. Even though they all had him surrounded, Riku did manage to defeat most of them with a swipe of his keyblade.

When the neoshadows came in, that is when the problems began to arise. As if the heartless getting more powerful than last time Riku faced them wasn't enough, these things have grown ten times as more powerful than before. And on top of them being more powerful, they would also not stop coming; to Riku it seemed that for every five he destroyed, twice the amount would come up and take the dead ones places. Riku had become so overwhelmed with this that he did not see the neoshadow that had traveled through the ground and appeared behind him…

"Riku look out man!" Wakka exclaimed. Riku reacted to this instantly and turned around to swipe though the neoshadow. Even though it seemed like it was fine, when Riku placed his hand on his chest and fell to his knees, everyone knew he was not alright. Riku might have killed the neoshadow that attacked him, but it was a second to late and the creature had sliced through his flesh, leaving three large cuts in his chest, cutting through his clothes.

"RIKU!" The remaining six exclaimed as Riku fell to the ground on his side, landing unconscious instantly. Selphie was the first to make it over to Riku, landing on the hot sand and placing Riku's head on her lap. Soon everyone was surrounding Riku, but now for long however since the heartless and neoshadows continued to come. Soon the only ones that were not fighting were Selphie, who was watching Riku, and Riku, who was unconscious.

"Selphie just make sure the heartless don't get to Riku! We will make sure they don't go near him!" Tidus exclaimed as he cut through more of the creatures.

Yuna then turned around to see Riku's blood running onto the sand and staining it red. "Sora, Kairi, you better come soon." She said to herself, wanting to scream it, but she couldn't since the heartless kept coming.
