Riku charged at the head of the heartless and began slashing violently. The beast raised its hands and tried to smash the two boys with them, but to no avail. Quickly, Riku slashed at its shoulder until one arm fell off of it. The arm made a loud crashing noise as it hit the ground, and surprisingly did not fade away. "What the-?!" Riku exclaimed, seeing the arm turn into dozens of heartless. "That's just great." "No worries, little dudes." a familiar voice said. "I've got this undercover!" Xigbar flew into the room and shot bullets everywhere, killing plenty of heartless.
Riku quickly threw Roxas into the air who landed on the large heartless' shoulder. Then, Riku ran up the side of the heartless and landed on the other shoulder. "This is almost too easy." he muttered, holding the keyblade above his head, prepared to finish off the heartless. "You ready, Roxas?"
An eye opened. A mouth grinned. I'm back. he thought to himself. For good, this time. Riku jumped up, swirls of light surrounding him. The heartless that had been mounted on him were now faded away. For a moment, he looked around at everyone who was fighting with all of their strength, which was quickly disappearing. "Well," he said, cracking his knuckles and kicking the black blindfold that sat on the ground next to him. "Looks like there's some work to be done." He grinned and summoned his keyblade, killing many heartless. "Roxas!" he shouted, pointing to a huge heartless forming out of several other heartless. "C'mon, we can beat this thing in no time flat! Plus, if we don't get back to work, we can say goodbye to that paycheck!" Quickly, he held his keyblade with one hand, and urged for Roxas to grab the other so that he could throw Roxas to the head of the heartless beast where it was most vulnerable.
Riku remained motionless on the ground, still regaining strength. Several heartless took this as an opportunity and piled themselves upon him, each hoping for his heart. Just give me a few more seconds, you guys. he thought to himself, slowly becoming more conscious. We're gonna clean up this mess and everything will be back to normal.
Meanwhile, Riku trapped in his own mind... "Sora...Kairi...Roxas...no!" he whispered, surrounded by only darkness. Yet again, he had let his friends down. They were probably now being beaten and hurt...al because of him... Wait! he thought to himself, his eyes suddenly opening very wide. It's just sorrow like that which simply sinks me deeper into the darkness, not helps me out of it. If I'm gonna get out of here, I gotta think possitive. Man, this is gonna be harder than last time... Riku thought about his life on the island before the whole adventure. Just him, Sora, and Kairi all best friends who had fun every day without a care in the world. However, with the romance arousing between Sora and Kairi, they would probably leave him stranded in the dust... "Stop it!" he shouted, realizing Ansem was the one influencing his good thoughts into bad ones. The island memories returned and images of soft white sand and clear blue water along with the laughter of children filled his mind with light. "See Ansem?" he said out loud, slowly openeing his eyes. "I am more powerful than you. We're all more powerful than you. Wanna know why? Because we have friendship and light!" Back at the jail... Ansem felt himself grow weaker and the hits from the keyblade became more painful. "That's not true!" he shouted in rage as he fell to the ground. "Friendship is nothing! It can do you no good! Darkness is the only way! Your heart is made of darkness! There's no escaping it!" There was a large flash of light and Riku lay on the ground where Xehanort's heartless was, unconscious.
OoC: Okay. =] Only one problem, now I don't know what to do with Ansem =/ BIC: Ansem continued to fight and laughed each time one of them attempted to hit him with a keyblade. "I cannot be defeated, fools!" he shouted, summoning dozens of heartless into the room.
OoC: About that idea of making a new restaurant... Could I possibly make Ansem disappear, but then reappear claiming to longer care for darkness? That way, he could own a restaurant such as...White Castle or KFC and there would be a reason for there to be a new restaurant with the rest of the evil villains working in it. That's okay if you would prefer not to go with this suggestion, it's just an idea. =)
Ansem stopped choking the man and grinned even wider. "Why should I even bother killing this pathetic human?" he said, a black portal appearing a few feet below the man. He dropped the man into the portal that sent him to the realm of darkness...forever. "Now," he said, turning to the others. "It's nice to see you all again. Unfotunately, you won't be making it out alive this time..." Blasts of darkness came shooting everywhere along with blasts of fire and electricity. "C'mon Sora!" the voice of a not seen, but not gone, friend said. "Don't let this jerk beat you!"
"Maybe I'm just meant to cause you pain! All of you!" Riku barked, now sounding nearly completely like Ansem. "With all of the pain I've brought you, it's probably just my destiny!" There was a huge blast of darkness and Xehanort's Heartless, with no sign of Riku whatsoever, appeared with an evil smle on his face. "Yet again," he said. "Riku has sunk into the darkness. Such a weak being." He lifted up the robber by his neck and squeezed tightly. "Now to finish the job that Riku could not..."
Could I have Ven, Terra, and Riku?
"Excuse me?!" the robber said, only hearing the remark Sora made about him being stupid. "Shut up!" Riku said to all of them while pushing Sora out of his way, his keyblades both stabbed into a wall. "I'm only doing what's FAIR! He hurt you, Sora. So if we're gonna even out the score, he has to be hurt...badly!" The keyblades levitated out of the wall and landed in the guardian's hands once more. "Now...prepare for payback!" he yelled as the keyblades flew through the air again towards the robber.
Tarzan smiled and shook Stich's small blue hand. "Thank you, Stitch." he said, stepping out of the ship. The ape-man yawned and began walking upward towards his pod once again. First he had to go through the Tactic Room. He decided to simply explore the room before returning to his pod.
Riku's guardian held the bed with both hands and ripped it in half, dropping both sides to the ground with a loud thud. Dozens of security officers came rushing into the hall and pointed extremely large guns at Riku, pulling Roxas away as well. "Fire!" one of them shouted. Bullets flew through the air, all deflecting off of Riku. He sent a blast of dark energy which made the officers go flying out of the building. However, he made sure that Roxas remained and was now in the cell. "Now, where were we?" he said, the guardian now holding a keyblade in each hand. "Oh, that's right." He threw both keyblades and sent them flying across the cell towards the robber.
Tarzan hesitated for a moment, not knowing what on earth Stitch was doing. However, it was his only shot, so he took it. Quickly, he kicked the leopard in the chest and jumped onto the floor, his eyes closed and his hands clutching the first thing he could grab. OoC: The Legend of Sleepy Hollow?
"I said stay BACK!" Riku shouted, using a hand of the guardian to grab Roxas by the neck and push him backwards into a wall. He looked back at the robber who was on the ground, shivering and staring at Riku. "P-Please..." the man said, trying to hide behind his bed. "I-It was a m-mistake...I-I'm sorry. Just d-don't kill m-me." "PLEASE?!" Riku shouted, his voice echoing through the entire building. "You injure my friend and you expect me to let it go simply because you said PLEASE?!?! I don't think so..." He used both of the guardian hands to lift the bed as high as he could above the robber, prepared to smash him with it.
"Well, guess what?" Sora said, dropping the branch. "Riku was actually the hero this time. It was all Riku. He was the one who saved Kairi, brought her back, healed her, and everything. All I did was stand around. She probably likes him more than me now." Two emotions were beginning to sink in for the first time ever in Sora. Guilt and jealosy. "I wouldn't be surprised if she gave that paupu I gave her to Ri-" he quickly stopped and blushed. If Namine knew Sora had given Kairi a paupu fruit, she would never let him live it down. Quickly, he looked away from Namine and went back to his drawing.
Riku/Xehanort's heartless lifted the man into the air and threw him at the wall. "Ah!" the man screamed, one of his arms now broken. "Please...I'm sorry!" "Sorry isn't good enough!" Riku said, now sounding mostly like Ansem. "You didn't have to shoot ANYONE!" Just as he was about to choke the man again using his guardian, Riku turned and saw Roxas standing outside of the cell. "Roxas!" he barked. "Stay back!"
Sora sat down next to Namine and began to relax as he drew a picture of himself in the sand using a tree branch. "We won't have to worry about those pirates for a little while." he said to Namine, drawing the spikes of his hair.
OoC: Oh, ok. Sorry. BIC: The leopard swiped its claws at Stitch, then grabbed Tarzan's spear with its teeth and threw it out of the ship. Tarzan then had to hold its jaws closed with his bare hands in order to keep it from biting him. "Stitch...help..." he said, struggling to keep the jaws closed.
OoC: I missed a lot. Sora has been with Riku, so I'll just say that he helped and witnessed all of that. BIC: Sora walked back into the tent and simply stared at Kairi's wound as she fell asleep. This is all my fault... he thought to himself, moving closer towards Kairi. f it wasn't for me, none of this would've happened. With a small sigh, he moved closer towards Kairi and whispered in her ear. "I'm sorry, Kairi." he said. "I'll never let anything hurt you again. I'll always protect you when you need it. I promise." He stood up once again and looked around the room. A paupu fruit sat in the far corner of the room. Sora picked it up and smiled as he gently laid it down in Kairi's hand. "I'll see you later." he whispered before leaving the tent, still knowing she couldn't hear him.
