ALRIGHT!

THIS IS THE END.

Original end, anyway.

No one guessed who the villain was.

Pity.

Hahaha.

I might post the alternate endings.

It's still a might.

Or I'll just end it here. Doesn't matter to me.

Yay.

Blah.

----------------

Riku stood in the cabin room, staring as the blackened creature shifted, bones crunching as it transformed..

Into a human figure.

"Riku.." Sora stared, face pale.

Riku's throat jumped, and he felt like he'd cry. "Sora.. What's..?"

"I.." Sora said, silent tears streaming down his face.

"What's the matter..?" Riku asked, stepping forward.

"Don't touch me!" Sora snapped, jumping backwards.

"Sora.." Riku mumbled, hurt.

"You don't understand.." Sora said, clutching himself and dropping to the floor. His tattered clothing showed all the black markings and his bones underneath his skin.

Riku sat as well, staring in disbelief.

"You have to kill me." Sora said firmly, looking him in the eyes.

"What the hell?!" Riku shouted, slamming his fist in the wall. "How the hell could you ever say that to me? So you have something wrong.. People can fix it! You-"

"Riku.." Sora said, blue eyes tearing again.

"What is it..?" Riku asked, feeling his heart break within every single second.

"I killed you."

"What?" Riku spat, appalled.

"You don't remember.."

"Sora, damn! Stop saying this crap! You don't know what you're saying, this place is.." Riku stared at the floor for a minute, feeling shaky…

"Riku?" Sora questioned, looking at him wide-eyed.

Riku fell against the wooden floor, crumpling like a rag doll. Sora rushed over to him, holding him. "Riku?!" He squeaked, holding him.

--------

A tall silver-haired man laughed insanely at Riku's expression. "Namine.." He said pitifully, sobbing.

"See.. That's you mere mortal's problem. You grow attached to one another and become weak and pathetic, like my.. Father.." He said in an annoyed voice, then motioned off all his other experiments.

"But that's alright. You want to know why you're so special? You have the blood type I need.." He chuckled, rubbing his hands together.

Riku hiccupped, eyes red. "how could you.. She was a girl! She hadn't even.. Been given the chance to live yet.." He cried out, clutching her dead body.

"Oh, please. Quit blubbering like a girl and stand up. If you don't, I'll get someone to make you stand up." He sneered.

Riku laid Namine down, and balled up his fists, staring at the monster of a man.

"I'll kill you myself!" He screamed, charging at the man.

The man shrieked as Riku pulled a switch from his pocket and swung at him, but was tackled to the ground by a monster.

"Get.. Get this boy away from me!" The man yelled angrily, kicking Riku in the face.

Riku coughed blood, feeling his teeth loosening. The creature pulled him up to his feet, and his head hung loosely. His spirit was utterly and completely defeated. He couldn't avenge his sister.

Or his mother.

Or his father.

He stared the man in the face emotionlessly, and the creature slammed him on the ground as the tall man flicked his wrist.

"Take him to the torture room. Chain him up. I want him to see what he's going to help become real. My dreams.. All true. I'll rule this town. Thanks to the Sagawa boy." He grinned, then walked off.

Riku blacked out.

-------------

Kairi found herself in a hallway, trudging on after Riku's little sister. "Namine! Come back! You can't just leave your brother!" She called out, stopping to catch her breath.

"Dammit, kid.." She huffed, shaking her head in annoyance and chasing on after her.

Kairi shuffled as she turned down another hallway, watching as Namine went inside a room. "A-hah! Gotcha!" Kairi yelled, running inside the room.

No one.

"Namine?" Kairi asked, looking around.

Nope.

Just a room.

With a giant looking computer.

Kairi tilted her head, all interest lost in chasing the little girl. She stepped towards the giant screen, and to her amazement..

It flicked on.

Kairi jumped as the screen fuzzed to life, and a silver-haired man appeared onscreen.

"I've done it.. I've created.. The perfect Machine, capable of blending in and being the perfect weapon.."

The screen buzzed, then came back to life.

"I've got to.. Change, to fix myself.."

It fizzed again.

"Find a host while.."

It shut off completely, Kairi staring in confusion.

"Host..?"

----------

A creature licked the side of Riku's bloodied head, and he slowly woke up with a groan.

"Wha..?" He groaned, blinking a few times.

A giant, dog-like monster with yellow eyes stared blankly at the boy, sharp teeth filled its mouth, a forked tongue licking along its' lips.

"Get away!" Riku yelled, trying to get up, and he practically choked himself realizing he was chained by the neck to a metal beam.

He finally sat, staring wide-eyed at the monster in front of him.

They stared at each other for what seemed like hours, then it approached him again.

He tensed up, shielding his face.

The creature sat next to him, slowly putting a jet black paw on Riku's shoulder, careful to keep its' nails from digging into the boy's flesh.

Riku shivered. "Get off.." He mumbled.

The creature began licking the dried blood off of Riku's head again, and he cringed.

Riku finally got out of his fetal position, and stared at the creature with his aqua eyes.

It tilted its' head, a toothy grin on its' face. Riku couldn't help but smile a little, some from amusement.. And the rest because his almost fatal head injury made everything seem a lot better then it was.

Riku cocked his head, almost giddy as the gigantic dog-looking thing spun in a circle and stared at him playfully. It tugged on the sleeve of his jacket, whimpering.

He stared.

It whimpered again, still trying to pull him.

"Get off." He said harshly, and it walked off into the corner, staring pitifully.

"What?" He asked, raising an eyebrow.

The door slammed open, the tall silver-haired man entering with a syringe filled with a yellow-colored liquid.

"I see you've met Sora." He said with a genuinely cheap smile.

Riku stared, "Your dog?"

The man laughed for a few minutes, eyes practically tearing.

"You're a moron, truly. No.. My greatest invention. Something you, like the rest of your family will become a part of." He grinned as Riku's face paled.

"Become..?"

"Hmm.." The man said, sitting on the steps of the dirty room. "Well.. Since you're the final installment to him, I guess I can tell you.." He laughed, enjoying Riku's reaction.

"You see, my father was an amazing scientist.. He passed on all his knowledge to me about, 'the good science could do for the world', but that didn't appeal to me. I'm more of a.. Well, I'll get to the point. I want to control everyone and everything, every human and animal alike." He sneered, imagining his victory.

"You.. Killed your own family to receive power?" Riku asked in disbelief.

The man laughed, slapping his knee. "You are a funny one, Sagawa! Just like your father.." He snickered. "Well.. I didn't kill my father.. I made it look like he killed the entire family and then did suicide.. Only, amazingly I survived." He smiled, remembering the time.

"You're vile. A waste of a person.." Riku hissed, eyes filled with hatred once more.

"No, no, no! You haven't even heard the last of it! My final sacrifice was in 1997.. A man who owned some bar, I believe. I tried creating the perfect human with him.. What a waste. It was soulless and pathetic.. A waste of all the souls. So I destroyed it immediately.."

Riku stared, shaking. This man was completely mad..

"So I now believe that you.. You, Riku Sagawa, are the last and final installment to my creature. You're filled with so many raw emotions.. It's so… Delicious.." He chuckled.

Hope was gone. He knew, but.. There had to be some way to stop.. To come back and stop the domination of this madman..

The man stood up, testing the syringe for a moment, and then smiled happily. "All the hundreds of people.. Will be worth it today." He pratically twirled down the steps, stepping cheerfully towards Riku.

"As soon as my human is made.." He continued on, not caring if Riku listened or not. "He'll be put in the orphanage.. Oh, how amazing this will turn out. I'm so smart.." He chuckled.

"Monster!" Riku screamed, lashing out at him. "I'll get you! I swear to God I will! I'll come back some how and screw everything up for you, I don't care what happens! I'll kill you with my bare hands if I have to!"

The man laughed insanely hard at Riku's pathetic attempt to kill him, the chain practically choking him to death while he screamed all this out.

The monster looked over, whimpering again.

Riku evaded the man by moving around on the floor, fighting against the chain as the man finally jabbed the syringe into Riku's arm.

"Go to sleep.." He said gleefully. "It's all over now."

Riku coughed, shook for a moment as the liquid swam through his veins, reached his brain..

And fell to the floor.

-------------

Riku woke up, feeling light-headed.

He was inside a utility closet, the light swinging back and forth. Sora clung to him, mumbling 'I'm sorry' over and over.

"Sora." Riku said, looking up at him.

"Riku!" He gasped, clutching him even tighter.

"Sora.. You didn't kill me." Riku said softly, touching Sora's face.

"No, I remember.." He said shaking. "Ansem led me in the room, and I saw you all bloody and.." He stopped, biting his lip.

"That's all you remember?" Riku asked, blinking his aqua eyes.

Sora nodded, shivering. "I don't want to remember what I did to you.. I'm just.. So Sorry.."

"That.. Scientist killed me. You hid in the corner." Riku said firmly, still laying in Sora's grasp. "He used souls to make you.."

"Human." Sora finished. "And that's why I need you to kill me.."

"Why?" Riku said, shocked. "You didn't kill me, why.. Why do you need me to kill you?"

"The ghosts. They're angry, and they're going to stay that way unless I'm destroyed. Riku, they're probably killing Axel, Roxas, Kairi, and.. Namine.. Is.."

"No! There has to be another way, come on!" Riku yelped, jumping up.

"Riku.. I'm sorry.." Sora said, eyes brimming with tears. "You have to shoot me. There's a gun in the shelf.."

"No! Why.. I can't.. Why.." Riku mumbled, eyes burning.

"You were the last one. You're the reason I'm.. Human.. You have to kill me." Sora moved away from him, pulling the gun down and putting it in his hands.

"No.. No.. I.." Riku began crying, looking Sora in the eyes.

"You have to save them."

"No.. Please.."

"You're family will be set free. The others will live.." Sora said firmly, trying his best to sound strong.

Riku stood up, practically begging Sora.

He could not be persuaded.

From the outside of the facility..

A single shot could be heard.

---------------

Kairi walked inside the house, heading upstairs to the usual spot.

Riku sat in an old burnt red chair, a window in front of him. Rain pattered against the window, but he barely noticed.

"You haven't given up hope of finding him.. Have you?" She asked softly.

Riku shook his head. "I'll find that bastard. I know he's out there.. But I don't get it.. 'host'. It makes no sense. I'll keep searching though.. 'Till the day I die."

Kairi sighed, watching as Atavan entered the room. She told Riku goodbye, patted the dog's head and left.

Atavan's eyes flashed red for a moment as the lightening flickered, and the dog licked it's lips greedily.

"Just because you destroyed my last one.. Doesn't mean I can't try again.."

The dog ran and leapt for the silver-haired boy, catching him off guard.

Oh yes.

There would always be more chances.

More experiments.

Until he'd finally won.

The silver haired boy stood up, cracking his knuckles and grinning greedily.

"Who to start with first…"

The lightening flashed again, and then everything faded black inside the house.

----------------

Hahha! Atavan!

Atavan was the villain!

Didn't anyone think it was odd, a rabid dog suddenly coming into the picture?

Hello, plot twists.

Hee Hee.
