Riku was still sleeping when he felt himself being pushed back and forth. At first he didn't know what to make of it, but then he finally decided to open his eyes to see Xion shaking him repeatedly.

"Wake up!" She said. Riku only groaned, not wanting to get up, especially this early in the morning. Normally, he would be like a bat out of hell if he was woken up this early in the morning, but he decided to get up as calmly as he could since it was Xion.

"What is it?" He asked as he rubbed his eyes and sat up.

"Aqua and Terra think it is time for us to go." She replied.

"What? This early in the morning?" Riku asked.

"Yeah." Xion replied as she sat down on the bed right next to Riku.

"But what about that red ship we saw yesterday? Don't they want to go check that out before we leave?" He asked.

"Aqua said that if that red ship was dangerous then this world would feel like it had more darkness to it. I am pretty sure Terra just agreed with her because they are together though." Xion said, which caused Riku to laugh.

"I should get ready to go then." Riku said as Xion nodded. Xion then looked into his eyes and she leaned in close to him, kissing him gently on the lips. Riku gladly kissed her back until she pulled away.

"What happened last night was amazing." She said.

"Yeah, it would have been better if Terra didn't ruin the moment." Riku joked, causing Xion to giggle. She then smiled again before she stood up.

"You should get ready to go then." She said as she got up and left the room, blowing Riku one last kiss goodbye before she left and shut the door behind her.

Riku looked over at the door; she had only been gone a second, and he already missed her. He knew that this meant their hearts where really connected this time, judging by the faster beating of his heart and just wanting to be by her. So he got his normal attire on as fast as he could so he could finally see her again.

As soon as Riku as done, he ran out of the room, down the stairs and ran outside into the blinding sunlight. He looked out to see Jumba and Pleakley saying goodbye to Aqua and Terra while Nani, Lilo and Stitch saying their goodbyes Xion. As soon as he saw her, he wasted no time in going over to his beloved.

"Hey, it's good to see you're up." Nani said. Riku only laughed at this before Stitch went over to Riku and climbed up his back to sit on his shoulder, much like how he always did with Sora.

"Riku leave?" Stitch asked. Riku then put his hand on the alien, petting his head.

"Yeah, but don't worry, we will see each other again soon. Besides, I need to go back and help my home, and you need to stay here and protect your home." Riku said. Stitch only sighed at this before the alien crawled back onto Riku's back. Riku then felt the alien take something out of his pants pocket before he crawled back on the ground.

Stitch then opened his hands to show Riku what he had taken: it was his summon charm. "Need me? Use this." Stitch said. This only made Riku smile, since Stitch was stilling to help Riku and his group out. Riku only nodded at this before Stitch ran back over to Lilo.

"I can tell Stitch really likes you guys. I am glad that he made so many amazing friends since he has been gone." Lilo said.

"Yeah he is lucky, but at the same time, we were all lucky to get to know him." Xion said. This caused the whole group to smile before Jumba, Pleakley, Aqua and Terra walked over to them: the aliens standing next to their family, the keyblade masters standing next to their friends.

"You four have a safe journey." Pleakley said.

"And good luck at saving your world, Riku." Jumba said. Riku once again smiled again; for a second, he thought this was one of the days he smiled the most.

That was until something came out and shot Stitch, sending the alien flying in the opposite direction away from the group.

"STITCH!" They all exclaimed, Lilo's voice being the loudest. They all looked over at the blue alien, who appeared to be fine, but he was covered in a net that trapped him.

"About time I found this imbecile." A voice said behind them that all but Riku and Xion recognized. They all turned around to see a huge grey alien who had a red and yellow gun pointed at Stitch, which was clearly the instrument just used on him.

"Gantu!" All except for Riku and Xion exclaimed. Gantu then turned to look at the group, snickering when he laid his eyes on Aqua and Terra.

"Well if it isn't the sea and the land, great to see you after all these years, but I really must be going." Gantu said sarcastically. He then took his gun and he pointed it at Lilo, firing it, and sent her back in a net similar to Stitch's.

"Lilo!" Nani exclaimed. She then tried to run over to her but Gantu stepped out in front of her instead, being the first to make it over to Lilo as he picked the net she was in up. "Let Lilo go!"

"I am afraid I can't do that, he wants her." Gantu said.

"He?" Riku said.

"That's right, an emotionless fellow, but he said if I bring him anyone I can to get rid of, I would have a place in the reforming of the worlds!" Gantu exclaimed.

"Reforming? What do you mean?" Aqua asked.

"Wouldn't you like to know." Gantu said.

"Riku! He could be the person that sunk your world into darkness!" Xion exclaimed. Riku then looked at Gantu furiously before he summoned his keyblade and held it at his side.

"You are truly heartless; this he tells you to bring him anyone you can to get rid of, so you would do so to a little girl?" Riku said, "Because if you are, that's sick." (Mkaukau – Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep)

"Thanks for the lecture, now I would prefer if you shut your mouth!" Gantu exclaimed as he pointed his gun at Riku and fired. But before it hit him, Jumba ran out in front of Riku, pulled out a gun of his own, and fired it at Gantu. This gun made the net shred to pieces and on top of that, it went through and hit Gantu right in the head. His stunned Gantu, but this did however cause him to drop Lilo in the net. Thankfully, Terra summoned his keyblade rider and rode towards her, catching her just in time before she hit the ground.

Terra then rode his rider back to Nani, who was happy to see Lilo was safe and embraced her in a hug. Pleakley then ran over to Stitch, who was still stuck in the net, and was about to help him out, but Stitch turned into his full alien form and tore the net apart. "Alright then, I guess you don't need my help." He said. But Stitch didn't listen and only ran over next to Riku.

"Aqua, Terra, get them to safety, we'll hold him off." Xion said as they nodded and took Lilo and her family away from the fight.

Xion then summoned her Iron Woman suit and she levitated over to Riku and Stitch. She then brought out her sword, which must have changed with the effects of the suit since it now had a matching handle and color to it. "Let's take this alien down." She said.

"I don't think it is a good idea for you to—" Riku was cut off.

"I am fighting with you so deal with it." Xion yelled to him. Riku only laughed at this: this was one of the reasons why he fell in love with her since she was so strong and independent. So Riku did not talk back to her, and he only prepared to fight this massive alien.

"Gantu hurt family, so Gantu must die!" Stitch exclaimed.

"You can try, you can try!" Gantu exclaimed as he ran towards the group, but before he could run any farther, Stitch jumped in the air, landing on the alien's face. Gantu then tried desperately to get the blue dog off his face bur continued to fail. Riku and Xion knew that this would be their best chance to attack the huge alien. Xion and Riku then ran towards him, trying to swipe at the monster's feet with their weapons to bring him to the ground. At first it seemed like they would not be able to do so but then Xion fired a powerful blast from her hand that hit the monster dead on and sent him falling to the ground.

As soon as he landed on the ground, Gantu dazed out for a moment. This gave the warriors a chance to try and stop this monster and so they continued to slash at him with their weapons. After slicing his face apart, Stitch came off his face and pulled out a gun similar to Jumba's and he began to fire it at Gantu. After seeing this, Xion and Riku both backed up and they fired magic attacks at him, getting long distance attacks as well. But after this, Gantu began to come around, and he shot up and ran at the warriors. Gantu then switched something on his gun and he now could fire bullets at the three, similar to Stitch's weapon. He then fired it blindly, only taking his hand and moving his arm back and forth to shot them. The bullets did hit the heroes several times, but none of them were severely hurt.

After that round of bullets, Xion flew in the air and she threw her sword at the alien, hitting him dead on before the sword came back to Xion. She then looked over to see Riku jump in the air ad brought his keyblade down on the monster with Stitch on his back, who continued to slice Gantu with his claws as soon as Riku performed his attack. She then looked behind her to see Aqua and Terra running towards them, even though they all told them to keep an eye on the family. "What are you doing? You need to watch Lilo and the family!" She exclaimed.

"They're safe, and if we want it to be that way then we need to finish this guy!" Terra exclaimed. Xion hesitated, but she did nod before she flew back towards the alien. As soon as she flew towards them, the other keyblade wielders summoned their riders and rode toward Gantu, with Stitch riding on the back of Terra's rider. As soon as they made it to Gantu, his eyes widened and all three of the keyblade wielders unsummoned their riders and they summoned their keyblades, hitting the monster head on. But it was Xion that delivered the final blow, since as soon as her friends were out of the way, Stitch fired a blast of his gun and Xion fired light at Gantu, mixing together in the air and ending the battle. (End Mkaukau)

As soon as the battle was finished, Gantu began to cry like a child. "Great, he will never let me have any power now!" He exclaimed before he ran off towards the mountains. Even though everyone seemed to be celebrating, with Lilo and her family joining not to long after, Riku was only focused on where Gantu was heading.

"Stitch! You were great!" Lilo exclaimed happily as she petted Stitch.

"I guess we owe you more now huh?" Nani said, putting her hands on her hips.

"No, really you do not own us anything, we are just glad all of you are safe." Aqua said. As Nani only smiled at this, Xion looked behind her to see Riku staring off towards where Gantu ran.

"What are you looking at?" Xion asked as she walked next to her boyfriend.

"Whoever this he is, he has a connection to my world falling into darkness, I know it." Riku said.

"So what? You are going to go after him?" Xion asked.

Riku only took a few steps forward. "Gantu headed off towards the mountains; if I follow him he should lead me right to the man behind the curtain." Riku said.

"Do you want me to go with you?" She asked. Riku only shook his head. "Of course that's your answer.

Riku then turned t face Nani. "Nani, would you please let my friends stay with you a litte while longer? I just need to check something out quick and then we will be on our way." Riku asked.

"Of course." Nani said.

"Thank you." Riku said as he looked towards the mountains. "I'll be back soon."

The only thing is Riku wasn't sure if his last words where fact, since he had no clue what would be waiting for him towards those mountains.
