THINGS CHANGE, Part 2
Sora yelled, ?RIKU WOULD NEVER DO THAT!!!!!?
?Things change, Sora,? a familiar sounding voice said, ?I thought that you?d have learned that by now.?
Sora spun around and, sure enough, Riku was standing there, clad in a heartless bodysuit.
"Riku!" Sora exclaimed. "What are you doing here?"
"I'd think that was obvious." Riku responded. "The heartless are getting hungry, so I led them here to feast on the hearts of these worthless pieces of trash."
Donald yelled, "YOU MONSTER!!!!!"
"I am no monster," Riku said quietly, "I'm not the fat talking duck."
"NOW YOU'VE DONE IT!!!" Donald yelled.
"Donald, stop!" yelled Goofy.
"FIRAGA!" yelled Donald, heaving a large fireball at Riku. Just as it was about to hit Riku, Riku caught it with one hand, and swung t back at Donald, saying:
"Fool. You should have turned to the darkness while you still had the chance!" The fireball was repelled by Sora and Donald hitting it with Blizzaga spells.
"Riku, this time you've gone too far," Sora said.
"Sora, you wouldn't hurt your ol' buddy, now, would ya?" Riku said mischeviously. "It's me, Riku." Sora looked confused for a moment, then lowered his keyblade.
The moment he lowered his keyblade, Riku threw a ball of lightning at him. The poor guy never stood a chance.
"Sora!" yelled Goofy, going to his friend's aid.
"You're gonna pay!" yelled Donald.
"Oh, am I?" responded Riku. "Not now, not ever..." And with that, he teleported away. Donald ran over to Sora.
"I can't believe Riku did that." Sora said heavily.
"That's not Riku, Sora." Donald said.
"Yeah, that's Ansem, the source of all evil." Goofy said.
Sora said, "True, but if I kill Ansem, then I'll be killing Riku, too. And in there somewhere, my friend Riku still lives."
"Things change, Sora," Goofy said quietly. "That's not your buddy anymore."
"I know," Sora said, "but I can't bring myself to do it."
Donald quietly said, "If you want the heartless to disappear forever, then you have to do it."
"You're right." Sora said, his voice layered with courage and determination. "We gotta, C'mon, let's go, guys." And so they set off, on a kission to save people, stop Ansem, and seal the keyhole.
Meanwhile, Riku had teleoprted to a meeting room, where he was meeting with a person with long, red, hair and a black cloak. Riku assumed his Ansem form.
"Ansem, I don't understand," Axel said, "I thought we were supposed to kill Sora..."
Ansem replied, "Things change, Axel. He may prove valuable. He still has a nub of affection for his old comorade, Riku. If we feed on that affection, he will be at our mercy. Here's the new plan..."
Meanwhile, our gang wasn't having very much luck.
"Maybe we should just leave," Donald said. "We've been fighting heartless for hours."
"What, and let them win?" said Sora. "We're the good guys. We save people and- oh, great..." Heartless had spawned around them, and were ready to attack.
"I don't have time for this. Ready, Donald?"
Donald replied, "Ready when you are."
"OK," Sora said. "1... 2... 3..."
At the same time, Sora and Donald both yelled "THUNDAGA!!!" and obliterated all of the heartless.
"Gawrsh, that was close," Goofy said. "Maybe we should-"
And then, the area where they were standing exploded, and they were knocked out.
What caused the explosion? What is the devious plan of Axel and Ansem? Find out in THINGS CHANGE, Part 3!
Please, read and review, folks!
