Aimala sits on the floor waiting for Maleficent to return. She is real nervous not sure of what to do. Riku just stood still looking at Kairi. He seemed unaffected by the whole situation. Aimala then saw Riku smirk. Aimala noticed that this was something odd for Riku. She stands up and walks over to Riku.
"Riku" said Aimala "Maybe you were right earlier about what you said. Maybe I am weak. I shouldn't have to rely on others help. I should do things myself."
"Doing things yourself isn't the problem" said Riku "Your problem is not truly accepting the darkness." Riku summons the Keyblade. "Right now, your heart is closed off from the darkness. You haven't quite open up to it. Just like the other fools who lost to Sora. But I can change that." He holds up the Keyblade. "This Keyblade will be able to open up your heart and allow you to fully amerce yourself in the darkness. Once that happens then you will truly be strong and nothing will be able to stop you. Not even Sora or Me."
"I can be that powerful?"
"Yes and all you have to do is let this keyblade do the work."
Aimala looked at Riku for a moment. "You seem to be telling the truth and it doesn't look like you are a clone of Riku."
"Was that what you're worried about? Relax this is my real body and my number one priority is taking care of Kairi. But I realized that helping you guys is the only way for me to accomplish this goal more effectively." You especially deserve my upmost apology for how I treated you."
Aimala seemed accepting now. Just then, something caught Riku's attention. She suddenly looked over to the entrance of the room. "What's wrong?" asked Aimala
"Nothing let me go check something real quick." Riku teleported away. Aimala sits next to Kairi.
"You know Kairi" said Aimala "This isn't the way I wanted you to end up. I had wish things would have gone so differently. I wished that you didn't end up in this comatose like state. I wished me and Riku could have actually become friends. I wished I actually felt like we were friends as well. I use to be friends with a princess of heart. We use to have lots of fun together. That was back when mother was a different person. She was crueler and didn't notice me that much. She had initially put a curse on her. I unintentionally lead her to mother. I made the curse happen. That day was the worst day of my life. I ended up disappearing completely. I don't remember much of what happened after that. I only remember that when I returned back to the castle. My mother hugged me and showed concern for me. She apologized to me too many times to count. I actually felt loved for the first time that day. The princess even woke up. The whole kingdom was happy." A tear begins to fall down Aimala's cheek. "When we met again, she refused to talk to me. When everyone found out about me being Maleficent's daughter, I was treated like a monster. Mother was my pillar of support. She had wished that I didn't have to suffer through such torment because of whose daughter I was. She had even wished that I was born in another family. By this time, Mother and I were on much better terms. I didn't want mom to thinks such things. That was the first time I ever said I love you to mother. That was the day I realized I was her daughter. Being her daughter may not be able to let me get accepted but at the very least we can be a family. When you and I met I got that same feeling. I figured that as long as you weren't a princess of heart I could be friends with you. But you turned out to be one. Princesses of heart who possess no darkness can never be friends with the daughter of the mistress of all evil. We can never be friends. I can never be your friend." Aimala stood up. "Mother and I are destined to rule all worlds with Kingdom Hearts. I intend to make that a reality."
Just then Riku reappears back in the room. He walks up to Aimala. "Aimala you need to come with me" said Riku. From the tone of his voice, she can tell its not good news. Riku grabs her shoulder and they teleport into a large room. It was big enough to hold a giant ball in. Aimala's eye catches a glimpse of the middle of the room. Her eyes almost immediately filled with tears. She runs over to the middle of the room and drops to her knees. There was a long black robe in the middle of the room. It matches the robe Maleficent wears.
"The darkness she had wasn't enough to overcome the Keyblade" said Riku "Sora showed no mercy in striking her down.
"Why" said Aimala "Why did she do this? Why did she call for my help? We are a family. "WHY DID YOU HAVE TO DIE?" Aimala screams at the top of her lungs with tears falling down her cheek.
Riku walks up to her. "Your heart is starting to accept the darkness now. But it's not fully amerced into it. You need to open your heart to the darkness. With it you can avenge your mother's death."
Aimala stands up. "Where's Sora?"
"I will take you to him but first…." Riku summons the keyblade and strikes Aimala in the chest. "Open your heart completely. Surrender to the darkness. Become darkness itself!"
Aimala gains a green, black and purple aura. Her wings turn emerald green. Her hands become dragon like growing in size and long nails that turn into claws. Her horns curve back. Her teeth sharpen. Her entire body becomes scaly. Her hair turns silver. She transforms to a hybrid of a human and a dragon.
"Impressive" said Riku "The darkness in your heart excels even Maleficent's when she finally accepted the darkness in her heart. You truly are her successor."
