Aimala wakes up and her mother was sitting on the end of the bed.
"How are you feeling my child?" asked Maleficent
"Better, I feel much more rested" said Aimala
"That's good. We have all the princesses of light now."
"And Sora?"
"He defeated hook."
"Great so now we are the only ones left."
"I don't think so. We still have Riku. He'll take care of the rest."
"At this point I doubt even Riku can help. What about Hades?"
"Hades has his hands full with the Hero from his world he won't be able to help us."
Aimala gets out of bed. "Than we need to get this thing started before Sora gets here. There's no telling how our plans will be ruined once he shows up."
"I agree but with the power Riku has now, Sora will be taken out soon especially if Riku takes the keyblade from him."
"Where is he now?"
"Dealing with a slight problem that surfaced. Apparently the beast that you fought with made his way here."
"That's bad. He's a lot stronger than you think he was taking out all the heartless I summoned without breaking a sweat."
"Riku has it taken care of."
"But mom?"
"Relax my child all is well. Have faith in me."
Aimala looks down. "Sorry it's just Sora managed to take out all of us. I don't even know if we'll be enough to take him out either." Just then both Aimala and Maleficent sensed someone enter the world. "Sora's here."
"You should go see about Riku."
"What about you?"
"I'm going to get the preparations for the door."
Aimala rushes out the room and makes her way to the main hall. She goes through many corridors cutting through the library until she finally reaches the main hall. He then goes through the front doors and goes outside. Riku is standing outside with Donald and Goofy right behind him. Aimala was now confused as to what has happened.
"Riku?" said Aimala "What's going on?"
Riku laughs. "I did it" he said "I gained my Keyblade back. Riku holds out his hand and summons the Keyblade. Aimala looked shocked at the accomplishment. "We should get inside. Maleficent should be getting the door ready right?" Riku walks right past Aimala and proceeds inside. Aimala, Donald, and Goofy follow close behind. Aimala locks the door behind her to prevent any intruders from following them.
"What happened?" asked Aimala
"Like I said" said Riku "I gained my keyblade back. I called it to me and it left Sora's hand. He was just a delivery boy after all."
"What about the Beast?"
"That monster was taken care of." Riku turns to Aimala "Don't worry I no longer blame you for what happened to Kairi. It was obvious that you weren't strong enough to keep her from having her heart taken by the heartless. I'll just fix the problem myself."
"Is that what you think of me? I'm just some useless foot soldier in your way?"
"You were having trouble with that beast fellow and I took care of it in one go. How badly did you lose to him? Did you end up just running away because it was too strong for you? This is why I'm the only one capable of saving Kairi now. Even they recognize that I'm stronger than everyone else." Riku points to Donald and Goofy. "The moment I gained my keyblade back, they left Sora's side and came with me."
Aimala turn to Donald and Goofy. "So you guys aren't really his friends are you?" Donald and Goofy stayed silent.
"They were never his friends. They only followed Sora because he had the keyblade and now it's mine. They used him as a means to an end just like I you guys."
"What do you mean Riku?"
"I told you that I would stay until Kairi is found. Kairi is the only reason I stayed. Once I unlock the door and gain Kairi's heart back, I am gone. I will no longer need you or Maleficent anymore."
"Kairi she's all you care about! She's all that drives you!? You cling to this false hope that there is a way to help Kairi? You blindly follow some kind of faith thinking as long as she's fine I will be fine. What about us. We helped you in your time of need. We looked after you. We took care of you. I felt we were friends Riku. I opened you up to the power of darkness. I helped you gain the keyblade in the first place. If it wasn't for me you would still be stuck on that island wishing there was some way that you could escape that prison."
"And yet you were using me from the beginning. Why were you on the island to begin with? Why even show up? What was the point of being friends with me and Kairi? We were just targets for you weren't we? You have no right to talk when you are guilty of the same thing."
Aimala summons her staff. Donald and Goofy jump in front of Riku to defend him.
"You are right" said Aimala "I did come to your island for an ulterior motive. But that changed I didn't expect for Kairi to show me kindness the way she did. I didn't expect us to click as well as we did. And thanks to your so called best friend Sora, my father is dead, my mother's teammates were killed and now we're standing on our last limbs trying to get the door open." Aimala paused for a minute "What if you're wrong? What if Kairi will never return? What will you do then?"
"I will keep searching" said Riku "I will keep searching until I find a way for her to return. There is nothing I wouldn't do if it meant Kairi will wake again."
Aimala's grip tightened on her staff. She raised her staff. Riku fired a dark energy blast from his hand and knocked Aimala back. Aimala slowly tries to get up but Riku is standing over her with the keyblade aimed at her head.
"Can't accept the fact that you fail because you are weak" said Riku "If you were more in tuned with the darkness as I am, then you would be able to beat me. You are no longer needed. Aimala looked at Riku with anger. A single tear came down her face. She got up and ran away from Riku deep into the castle. Riku dispelled the Keyblade and then hears the door open behind him. Sora walks in the room face to face with Riku.
