Chapter II: The Start of a Journey
Riku still sat in amazement as he continued staring out the window of the gummi ship.
He had never been in one so seeing this just had him sitting in awe.
Kairi was also silently watching the white dots pass by, she had been in a gummi ship once when Sora had rescued her from Hollow Bastion, but even though she had that first experience it was still an amazing sight to behold.
Riku though wasn't only watching the passing worlds, he was deep in thought.
He had wanted to go and search for Sora right away, but Fate wasn't on his side lately.
After Riku voiced his opinion in leaving Hollow Bastion, now renamed Radiant Garden, right away.
That idea was shot down and he argued with everyone for ten minutes until he gave in so they could gather the nessecary supplies.
But that wasn't what bothered him.
Nope.
It was the fact that a bunch of heartless shells of once people had someone very important to him.
Who knew what that damnable Organization would do to Sora.
He knew what they wanted and only Sora could give it to them...but the brunette wouldn't just accept orders from an enemy without question...and Kairi was safe and sound so she couldn't be used as blackmail...so how...?
Riku growled inwardly, if they did anything to him...they would suffer a Fate worse then just ceasing to exist...
How he hated these white hallways!
His scowl lightened as he eyed Axel next to him as the two were briskly walking down those cursed white hallways, their long black coats swishing with their steps.
It was strange to wake up in the castle with Axel shaking him violently, but it was even stranger when the latter had said it was nice to have him back.
Did he go somewhere?
He didn't know...the last thing he remembered was fighting a silver-haired boy who was blindfolded...but after that everything was fuzzy and he couldn't recall.
His scowl returned as he tried to remember what had happened and all the damned white wasn't helping his mood none.
"Hey.." a voice said, snapping him out of his thoughts.
He turned his head, meeting Axel's emerald eyes. He raised an eyebrow in question.
"Something bothering ya, Roxas..?"
Roxas shook his head slightly, "Just the fact that I can't remember anything from the past year.." he said irritably.
Axel chuckled but said nothing and the two continued on to their destination... the throne room where the two were supposed to meet with Xemnas and the rest of the Organization, or what was left of it anyway.
His frowned deepened, he hated being in the same room with the other members.
Well except for Axel, he was a different story.
Roxas' frown fell into an unemotional mask as the two went through the huge double doors that led into another (annoyingly) white room that had thirteen thrones set about it.
He noted vaguely that quite a few of the members were missing as he took his seat at the end of the row, Axel next to his.
He crossed his arms and began to try and remember what had happened to him.
'Damn it! This is so fucking annoying!' he thought irratibly.
"Welcome back, Roxas." said that all too familar voice of none other than their Superior, Xemnas.
Roxas replied with a simple nod of his head, he didn't turn to look at the others but in the corner of his eye he could see they were staring at him.
He had the sudden urge to tell them to goto hell.
"Now...on to business." Xemnas said in that monotoned voice of his.
Roxas inwardly sighed. 'Its going to be a long day...'
"So, what world is this..?" Kairi asked as she stared at the world below her, well at the huge castle that was there anyhow.
"More like place.." Riku said thoughtfully.
"Its Beasts' Castle."Goofy answered.
With that said the five stared at the gothic castle below.
"Why are we checking here first?" Kairi said popping another question.
"This is where we first ran into an Organization member," Donald started. "Maybe he's still around..." he trailed off.
"Good thinking Donald!" Mickey exclaimed happily, picking up on what Donald meant.
Riku smiled, there was a chance they would be able to find Sora.
Hopefully...
After the shaky landing in the gummi ship, the five headed toward the castle, Riku and Mickey leading the way, although Donald and Goofy were the ones who had been here before.
Riku pushed one of the towering doors open, it creeked in protest but moved slowly for the silver-haired teen.
As the five entered they found themselves in a very large room, on each side there were two doors and only one looked like it was being used and at the end was a staircase that led to another set of big double doors and on the right and left side, two more staircases.
"So...where do we begin..?" Riku questioned to no one in particular.
"Hey, look!" Goofy said pointing at the staircases on the sides of the two double doors.
On both staircases, there were two people walking down them in unison.
One was a woman in a beautiful yellow gown.
The other... wasn't really human and seemed oddly familar...
Riku groaned to himself as he realized who those two were.
The woman was Belle, a Princess of Heart.
The other was Beast; Riku had bad memories of the latter because of what had happened in Hallow Bastion.
He just hoped he could explain himself and the situation before Beast could attack. Riku knew quite well of his temper.
Before Riku could think anymore on that subject, the others had gone and left him standing by the door.
He sighed to himself andfollowed his friends.
Stopping at the bottom of the stairs he looked up at the others, he noticed- now that he was closer- that Beast had on a formal outfit also.
Now this made him curious...
"If you'll excuse us, we're kind've busy at the moment." Belle said to them, looked at Beast, who held out his arm, which she took and the two proceeded through the two doors.
Riku noted to himself thatthe room was actually a huge ballroom.
Even though it was obvious the two wanted to be alone the others followed them into the spaceous room.
Riku shook his head and followed suite, he stood slightly behind the others when his interest was caught by moving objects.
Riku stared so hard at the animated objects, he thought he might burn a hole in them. He then turned his attention to Belle and Beast, who were dancing together.
He smiled faintly and remembered they had to find Sora.
'Idiot! How could you forget!' He mentally attacked himself.
It was cut short by a menacing laughter.
Riku's aquamarine eyes were instantly focused on the balcony above them, there stood a man in a long black coat. A member of the Organization.
He had long black hair and equally as dark eyes.
"Xaldin!"
Riku barely heard the Beast growl out, he instantly summoned his keyblade to hand.
This was their chance!
The Nobody- Xaldin- turned his attention to Riku and smirked, then turned his attention back to the Beast, but before he could say anything Riku shouted.
"Where's Sora!" It wasn't a question, it was a demand.
This made Xaldin sneer at him.
"Sora...Sora...? I don't recall any by that name..."
Belle and Beast both were confused, they both knew Xaldin knew Sora.
"Where. Is. He!" Riku shouted again, each word its own sentance as he let his anger seep into his voice.
"My my, such manners..." Xaldin said chuckling, purposely avoiding the silver-haired teens question.
"Please! What did you do to him!" Kairi yelled.
This made Xaldin grin in an evil manner.
"I'm not telling you anything," he said as a darkness portal appeared behind him. "Sora doesn't exist anymore." with that he vanished into the portal.
Riku could sense that Xaldin hadn't left, not completely.
The Nobody was outside somewhere, waiting.
Riku didn't waste any time as he shot out of the ballroom, the others trying to keep up as he bounded outside and ran through an archway onto a bridge.
But he wasn't alone.
On his right side he held Belle and on the left was a very odd rose in a glass case.
It was only two seconds before they heard Beast's thundering footsteps and animalistic growling.
"Get out of my castle now!" He bellowed.
"Of course, but I'd rather travel light...so which one should I leave behind..?" Xaldin asked,with a menacing smirk.
Two seconds passed and Beast rushed forward.
"Belle!"
Xaldin never expecting it...was very roughly slammed in his chest by..Belle, who quickly snatched the rose from his other arm and ran away with a look of satisfaction.
Kairi who sensed the impending danger followed the older Princess, after passing a look at all of her friends that said be careful.
Riku saw the look but chose not to aknowlodge it, his attention focused soley on the Nobody in front of him.
"Where's Sora!" He growled out again at the Nobody.
Said Nobody just chuckled, then leered at the group.
"I already told you...or maybe I lied...now how will you know..? Hm, hm, hm..? Oh, I know! I might tell if you defeat me..." And with that seven(or was it six?) miniture tornados circles him, and with each one held a spear..three he wielded while the rest hovered about his body.
The battle began.
Everyone rushed at the opossing Nobody...but soon that proved futile as their weapons made contact with a shield of wind.
And as soon as they were all pushed back by it, Xaldin wasted no time and every spear suddenly circled the Nobody.
Riku barely blocked the attack, earning him a nice gash on his left forearm.
It was then Riku saw his opportunity.
Quickly dashing forward and jumping, he was able to catch Xaldin off-guard and attack him.
The others quickly joined in on the ass-whooping, but it didn't last long as the spears once again started moving around Xaldin's body at an alarming pace...then the said Nobody jumped in the air.
Riku had to block the energy balls that Xaldin had made while also having to dodge his attack when he would suddenly shoot down from the air and attack the ground with his spear causing a five-foot radius of a powerful shock.
It was then they could attack the Nobody again..
It seemed though that Xaldin really wasn't much of a tactition, because he repeated his attacks.
Riku caught on and it wasn't too much longer before he had Xaldin on the ground, and starting to fade away.
"Where's Sora!" Riku screamed, some of the desperation he felt entered his voice.
Xaldin looked up at them, smiled, then pulled something out of his coat pocket then threw it at him.
Riku caught it, looking to see what it was he gasped and his head shot up, glaring at Xaldin.
"Sora isn't himself anymore..." he said. "Most likely he'll kill you if you do somehow manage to find him." He laughed and faded back into darkness.
Riku turned his attention back to the item Xaldin had given while the others crowded around him to see what it was.
The small item clinked softly as Riku held it up..it was Sora's crown pendent, the one Riku gave him for his birthday.
Riku held back the emotion as much as he could, he couldn't break down.
Not in front of everyone.
They needed him to be strong.
Sora needed him to be strong.
"I'll find you," he whispered. "I promise.."
Roxas and Axel stared down at the colliseum below as the son of Zeus battled by himself against hoards of heartless.
Roxas started fidgeting, playing with the pendent Axel had given him.
It was a pendent that resembled his keyblades...
Every member had a pendent that looked like their weapons, Roxas hadgotten his back.
"Well, better get to work..." Axel said sighing.
Roxas only gave a nod as a portal opened behind them and the two vanished within it.
Next destination: The Underworld.
I don't like this chapter...it's just boring! Anyhow, my moms getting rid of my internet so I have no clue when the next chapter is going to come out... :pouts: The next chapter though will be better. Ranting: Okay, a reason not to dislike Kairi: Without her, there would be no Roxas!
Also as for my other story, the plot bunny just wouldn't leave me alone! GAH! But at least you liked the story... I'm writting it in a notebook I have so be prepared to see a lot of chapters for that when I get me internet back.
I'll see you guys for now:vanishes into her own darkness portal:
