Madara's Quarters

Riku sat down across from Madara and then Madara began offering his deal.

"Akatsuki was a while back by Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan. As it went on it became what you know it as today. Pain, who is actually Nagato, has a goal that is different than mine. Even with my powers I'm not sure I could take on Nagato. If you help me take Nagato out, I'll help with killing Organization 13. I'll also keep Akatsuki out of your world. My plans would not work there anyway," Madara explained.

"How do I know I can trust you?" Riku asked.

"You don't. Having my help is better than none though. Isn't it?"

"Alright then. I accept your terms."

"Good. If there is anyone else you can bring in to help you, now would be the time."

"There is one…" Riku said as he flashed back on a memory.

Twilight Town – The Mansion (The Past)

Riku walked into the room where Diz was waiting.

"Riku. We must act quickly. Sora is getting nearer to being whole again, but he can not be complete unless we have Roxas," Diz explained. "Roxas is Sora's nobody."

"All I have to do is bring him here, right?" Riku asked.

Diz nodded. Riku turned and left the room. He walked into the foyer of the mansion and stopped. He sensed something off. All of a sudden the doors blasted open, flying by Riku. In the doorway was Organization 13.

"Honey! We're home!" Xigbar yelled out. "Oh look. Riku came to say hello."

Riku quickly took out his weapon and knocked aside the energy bolts Xigbar shot at him. Other Organization 13 members then started to come into the foyer. Riku had no choice but to retreat. He jumped up to the second story and went into the room leading down to the lab. He sealed the door behind him and turned. Zexion was standing in the middle of the room.

"Greetings Riku. It's been awhile," Zexion said.

Riku didn't mince words. He charged forward and slashed at Zexion. Riku ran into the wall. It was all an illusion. Zexion was then behind Riku slashing at him with a Way to Dawn. Riku blocked, but was driven back into the wall. Just then, the door leading to the room where Riku was blew open and Saix stood in the doorway. Zexion then faded away. It was an illusion the entire time. Saix made no move to attack Riku. Riku quickly went down in the lab and sealed that door behind him.

Riku met up with Diz in the hallway leading to where Sora is.

"Diz, Organization 13 has invaded," Riku told him, panting.

"Hmm, we have no choice. We'll have to wake Sora up and make our escape," Diz replied.

"Sora isn't ready," Riku asked. "And what about Namine?"

"We have no choice with Sora and who cares about her? Let the Organization have her."

Riku and Diz then walked down the hallway. Diz initiated the sequence to wake Sora up. A few minutes later Riku was helping Sora out.

"…Riku…?" Sora asked, sounding unsure.

"Yeah, it's me Sora," Riku replied.

Sora got to his feet and walked a few steps away.

"Sora! We have to go. Come on!"

Sora turned, his eyes were clouded, and he called his keyblade to him.

"No! Stay away!" Sora yelled out.

Diz looked up from the computers that would wake Donald and Goofy up.

"Sora isn't stable. Knock him out and carry him Riku," Diz said.

"Hey, Sora. It's okay. It's me, Riku," Riku said, trying to sooth Sora.

"No. No! None of it is right! Stay away!" Sora yelled out again.

Banging could then be heard on the door.

"Riku! Do what I say!" Diz yelled out.

"No! No!" Sora yelled out, responding to Diz's yell.

Sora took a swing at Riku. Riku rolled away from the strike, not drawing his weapon. The door leading to the chamber then burst open. Xigbar, Marluxia, and Larxene then walked into the room.

"Why, if it isn't our old man!" Xigbar exclaimed with mock excitement.

Sora then started yelling incoherently at Marluxia and Larxene.

"Sora looks worse for wear doesn't he?" Marluxia asked rhetorically.

"Yeah, let's put him out of his misery," Larxene said with glee.

Sora took a few wild swings at Marluxia and Larxene. They easily avoided the attack. Larxene kicked out Sora's kneecap, causing him to scream in pain. Marluxia then went to deliver the final blow, but Riku blocked the strike. Riku strained against Marluxia.

"Larxene, if you would," Marluxia said calmly.

"With pleasure," she responded.

A bolt of lightning flew at Riku and knocked him away. Riku landed back near the po. He glanced up in time to see Marluxia cut Sora down. Riku looked over and saw Diz dead on the ground with Xigbar standing over him. A shadow then loomed over Riku. Riku looked up into the face of Zexion.

"I'll at least make it quick," Zexion said quietly.

A bright light then enveloped the room blinding everyone. When Riku could see again he was lying on the floor of a gummi ship, his head on someone's lap. Riku shot up into a sitting position and looked around.

"You finally woke up!" someone said.

Riku glanced behind him and saw Namine.

"Did you save me?" Riku asked.

"No, it was Mickey. He left after brining you aboard. He said he had to go back for Donald and Goofy," Namine explained.

"I have to go-," Riku started to say as he got up, but he had body spasm and he collapsed to the ground.

"Riku, you can't. You're hurt too badly.

"Damnit!" Riku yelled out as he slammed his fist onto the floor.

A few days later in Hollow Bastion (The Past)

Riku sat in quiet grief on his bed. Namine quietly came in and sat next to Riku.

"I… don't really know what to say," Namine said.

"There's nothing to say. I just lost everyone I cared about, and if I don't get back home the damned Organization will get Kairi too." Riku said, with angry grief.

"It's always about Kairi. No one seems to care… about me," Namine said with sadness.

Riku made no move to comfort her. Namine then got up and left the room. Later, Riku went out into the main room to meet with the others.

"We have confirmation that the Organization is planning to invade Hollow Bastion," Leon told Riku.

"I expected as much," Riku replied.

"Are you okay Riku," Aerith asked.

"I'm fine," Riku replied curtly.

"We're trying to decide who would be best suited to take on who," Leon told Riku.

"I'll take Marluxia and Larxene. They deserve it," Riku said.

"You know more about the Organization than us Riku. You need to tell us who would be best suited to fight whom," Aerith said.

Riku thought for a moment and outlined his plan. They would stay away from Xemnas as long as they could. Riku would go after Marluxia and Larxene, Tifa should take Lexaeus, Leon should take Vexen, Cloud should take Saix, and Yuffie should take Zexion.

"After we take them out, we can decide who to take out next," Riku said, finishing his plan.

Everyone else nodded. Riku walked back to his room and slumped over onto his bed and cried.
