The figure had been standing there for the longest time now, still not recovering any of his memory that was supposed to come soon. He really didn't know what to do about it; though it would be helpful if the Dark One was present, which he wasn't. The figure was not very fond of the Dark One so far, since he was talking about all this stuff he wanted to do but there was no action.
Right after that, the Dark One finally reappeared with the Riku Replica, who went to go help the other figures who still could not summon their weapons. "You know if you want to take care of these people so badly, I don't see how this is helping." The figure said before the Dark One could walk off with the replica.
The Dark One only snickered. "My apologies, I cannot control however when they summon their keyblades." The Dark One replied.
"Well maybe the reason why they aren't summoning it is because they are too weak," the figure said, "I don't know why you are wasting your time with them."
The Dark One only laughed again, since he knew for a face the figure was regaining his old personality. "I know they are not as strong as they seem, they really aren't strong now, but a keyblade's power makes someone power accelerate greatly." The Dark One replied.
The figure only shook his head. "You make no sense to me." The figure said.
"I will make sense in time, you just need to trust and continue to follow me." The Dark One replied. This only made the figure huff, and right after that occurred, the Dark One walked off towards the other figures still desperately trying to summon their keyblades.
The figure then looked into the direction of the other figures, only snickering under his breath when he saw them fail over and over again from summoning their keyblades. Just as he was about to look away from them however, he stopped when he saw a flash of light out of the corner of his eye. He then looked up shocked to see someone had summoned their keyblade.
The figure observed the person who summoned his keyblade. He wasn't one of the figures; he was that person that the Dark One said was going to take care of those people while everyone else assembled. The figure figured that he only summoned his keyblade to try and show everyone else how to summon it, so he didn't take interest right away.
"This is how you summon it, now try it!" He said sounding frustrated. The replica then turned to look at the figure for a brief second, and then looked away back at the other figures.
This brief second made the figure stop in his tracks. He knew him, he had to have known him; he could never forget a face like that. But the figure then observed that person, seeing that he was nothing like how he remembered him to be. It was weird, the figure remembered everything about that person, but couldn't remember anything they did or how he was connected to him.
The figure then looked away from the replica since he saw another one of the figures about to walk away, going past him, but the figure stopped that. "Hey," the figure said, making the other figure stop. "What is that guy's name?"
"His name is Riku," the figure replied in a feminine voice. It was funny, out of seven of them in the group (not counting the Dark One and the replica) she was the only female member. "Or at least that is what he prefers to be called. The truth is he is really just a replica of the real Riku."
"The real Riku?" The figure asked the famine one.
"Yes, he is actually one of the only people I remember from my past so far. However, I do remember his true self briefly." The feminine one said.
"What was the real Riku like?" The figure asked.
"So far I only remember two things about him: he was one pain in t ass and he followed his own path." She replied.
"What was his own path?" He asked.
"Dawn." She said.
As soon as the feminine figure said that one word, the figure zoned out and felt a pain in his head. For some reason, he felt hatred when she said the name Riku, but felt even more hatred when she said he followed the dawn. Did his past life have something against Riku? Was this Riku one of his enemies? Was he jealous of him or his dawn? He didn't know, but thinking about it made flashes appear in front of his eyes and he began to hear things…
"I walk the road to dawn!"
"Giving up already? Come on So- (blur) I thought you were stronger than that."
"Light and darkness are eternal. Nothing probably goes on forever too."
"Nah, I guess I'm just… sad."
"HELLO?!" The feminine figure said loudly and annoyed. The figure then opened his eyes, seeing he was still standing with the famine figure standing in front of him. He then only shook his head.
"What happened?" He asked.
"Ah… Nothing? All you did was stand there and didn't reply to me." She said.
"Oh… Sorry." He replied.
"Whatever," the feminine figure said before she walked off, heading somewhere in the distance.
The figure then looked down at the ground once again. His memories were beginning to return, and in fact he remembered two people: Riku and that light in his life he once knew. Even though was glad he remembered someone, he still wished he could at least remember the name of that light he once knew, since whoever it was really did seem to be a huge part of his life.
But since just standing there and thinking did not work, he decided to look at the other figures struggling to summon their keyblades, since it was rather amusing to him.
…
Sora, Kairi and Ven where flying through the lanes between searching for a world that was in danger from the darkness. Another reason why Sora wanted to be in Kairi's group (besides her being his girlfriend) was since she was like a darkness detector after all.
Kairi then stopped in the air when she approached an all too familiar world. "What's wrong Kairi? Did you find a world?" Sora asked as he rode his keyblade rider towards hers. All Kairi did was then point her finger towards the world: Olympus Coliseum.
"This world always seems to be in danger from the darkness doesn't it?" Ven said as he to rode towards Kairi and looked at the world.
"Well then that gives us every reason to go and save it again." Sora said as the three of them then rode their riders towards the world.
As soon as they landed on the world they looked around, seeing that they landed in the Entrance to the Underworld part of the world. "Why is it we land in this part of the world at random sometimes?" Sora asked out loud as they unsummoned their riders and armor.
"Who knows." Ven replied. He was about to say something else along the lines of 'where should we search first' but the sound of the door to the Underworld opening stopped him. The three of them all were ready to summon their keyblades, thinking that Hades would be the one to walk out of the door, but then stopped themselves when they saw someone else. This person was a young man with spiky and short black hair with blue eyes, which Sora could have sworn where red at first, but changed to blue. He was wearing all black including a short sleeved black shirt that was long in the back, going down to the back of his knee. He also had a leather belt and attached to it was what looked like a carrier for some kind of weapon and he had black pants that stopped at his boots since the rest of it was inside of them.
This young man walked past Sora, Kairi and Ven, giving them a glare before heading up the stairs that would lead him to the coliseum. "Who is that guy?" Kairi asked.
"I don't know," Sora said before he looked over to the entrance to the Underworld. "He came from there…"
"So that could mean he is working for Hades right? Why else would someone go in the Underworld?" Ventus said.
"Well Auron came out of the Underworld and turned out to be one of my best friends." Sora said, thinking back to the last day he saw his friend, back on Edge when he basically said he was Sora's guardian angel. He still didn't tell anyone about that event, since he was afraid everyone would call him crazy, so he kept it to himself.
"Yeah but we didn't see what he did in the Underworld unlike what happened with Auron." Kairi said.
"We might as well better be safe than sorry," Ven said before looking towards the stairs. "He is probably going to go sign up for the games, may be it would be best if we do the same to make sure he doesn't do anything to harm this world."
Kairi then looked to Sora. "Well it sounds like a good idea, but how would we know for sure he signed up for the games?" She asked.
"We can just asked Phil." Sora replied, answering for Ven.
"Then let's go do that before there aren't any spots left on the list!" Kairi said as her two companions nodded and they headed towards the stairs.
I dont get why you guys like the Oylmpus Coliseum world so much. I mean dont get me wrong, I love that world and love writing about it, but I would have thought you guys would have gotten sick of it by now. I guess the results from that poll awhile back prove otherwise...
That character that Sora, Kairi and Ven saw in the Coliseum was Noctis from Final Fantasy Versus XIII. Now i know what you are thinking, that game wasnt released yet so how could you write about him? Well I think they released enough information about the game so I could at least write about him. Now i just need to wait until it comes out so I can get the chance to play it and they can start working on KH3 -_-
Also, there where multipue hints regaring the figures identes, any guesses of who they could be?
And also, dont forget to vote on my poll!
So anyway please R&R and look out for the next chapter!
