Its Only You Chapter Nineteen: Escape and Capture
As Riku hung against the wall his heart swelled with unstoppable sorrow. He hated to see Kairi lying lifelessly on the ground. He saw her new bracelet glowing with Sora’s steady heartbeat. He fidgeted in his shackles. If only he could bend his wrist he could unleash dark power and make the chains snap. He sighed deeply. Suddenly he remembered something! He recalled when Sora and he fought the Parasite Cage in Monstro. They had run around the belly to flip and strike the monstrous Heartless. Riku mustered up his strength and ran on the wall until the chains length ended. He flipped on the last second and landed on the brackets. He flew a ring of dark energy at the rings forcing them to snap. He jumped to the floor like a cat and ran to scoop Kairi up and escape.
He reached for her arm but his hand went through it! “Huh?” He asked himself. An amused voice answered him. “I told you Riku!” RIku spun to face Kyle leaning against a pillar. “What do you mean?” He snarled. Kyle sighed. “She is in a deep sleep where only one can awake her.” He recited “You?” Riku asked. “Riku if it were me wouldn’t I have done it already? Let’s think… Who does her heart belong to who are you jealous of who did you try to kill twice?” Mocked Kyle. Riku knew it was Sora. “So my plan is to get Sora to come and awake Kairi, then kill him!” Kyle laughed. RIku stood there for what seemed ages. He had to find Sora and warn him. Kyle stopped his mad laughter and smiled at Riku. “Of course now you know my plan. I cannot allow you to live now.” He smiled. Riku took one last look at Kairi before he smiled at Kyle. With lighting quick speed he flung his hand at Kyle who was hit in the chest with a ring of dark energy. Kyle flew and hit a pillar. Riku used his chance and dashed out of the hall. Kyle got up slowly. His face was contorted in anger. His body changed. One shadow showed his outline against the wall. Something had sprouted from his shoulders and he was a monstrous size. He flew out the door in hot pursuit of RIku.
Riku ran down the hall until he reached the courtyard. The enormous pool and waterfall filled the courtyard. Suddenly something slammed in to Riku. Riku stumbled in to the pool. He gasped for air when he broke through the surface. He turned to see guards and Kyle’s demons at the edge of the pool ready to finish him. Kyle entered the courtyard. He was in a human body now. He walked swiftly to RIku. He snarled at him, “No one has dared to attack me before Riku! You will pay most dearly for your moment of pleasure.” Kyle walked away and signaled his gaurds to kill him. RIku used his 15 years on the Destiny Islands to his advantage. His dove to the bottom of the pool. It was so deep RIku had trouble getting to the bottom. He glided along the bottom until he reached the other end of the pool. He leapt out of the pool. The guards turned and chased Riku through Kyle’s castle. RIku reached the jetty where the escape ships were kept. He thanked his luck. He examined the ships. He saw a red one pondered on it for a minute , “Nah!” He said He smiled as he saw a yellow one and jumped in. He started the engine when he heard a scraping sound. He looked up to see one of Kyle’s demons clawing its way in to the ship. RIku blasted off leaving the demon in the dust. He yelled back to the guards. “Tell Kyle thanks for a great time!” Riku neared the border of Kyle’s castle. His intuition told him to head for Foggy Forest. He hoped Sora and the others weren’t having too much trouble.
Sora and company searched Foggy Forest for the werewolf. They called for Donald countless times. Goofy for once seemed to lose hope. He sighed every now and then in sadness. “Don’t worry Goofy. We know Donald he won’t go down without a fight.” Mickey told him. “Yeah we won’t go down without a temper tantrum either!” Laughed Sora. Everyone laughed thinking of the times Donald had one of his trademark tandrums. “Well its been about an hour. The potions probably ready. Lets go back and get Noelle then continue the search. It’ll be easier with her looking too.” Said Leon.
Sora went through the door first and looked around for Noelle. He gasped as he saw the gummi ship. Items were strewn across the floor, cushions and blankets torn, and Noelle and Cid missing. Leon and Cloud entered the ship. They rushed around the ship looking for Noelle or Cid. Sora finally found Cid locked in the closet. “Cid! What happened? Where’s Noelle?” Leon and Cloud reached the closet and waited for Cid’s answer. “This-This ……thing! Came in to the ship after you left! It was like a dog or wolf but gone mutated like a werewolf. Well he stalked his way over to me and pinned me to the floor! He locked me in the closet. He said that he wasn’t here for me, He said he was here for the little magic girl. I pounded the door trying to escape. But the doors in here I built so ya know pretty tough to break. I heard Noelle scream and something hit the wall. There was silence and the beast left with her. Sora helped Cid up while Cloud told Aerith, Yuffie, Goofy, and Mickey the news. “Well you know what Sora. That beast is gonna make us choose who to save. Or worse he’ll bring Noelle to Kyle and who knows what he’ll do with Noelle’s power.” Said Leon gravely. “We wont have to choose! Theres no way I’m losing one of my best friends and theres no way I’m gonna let my friend and Kairi’s sister to be used as a puppet by that bastard! I’m not choosing! We’re saving them both” Said Sora with force. The werewolf carried a limp Noelle to it’s den where Donald was being kept. He threw her against the wall next to Donald’s cage. “Kyle will be happy to hear that eh can harness the power of the unknown Princess of Heart!” He howled in to the night.
Meanwhile Kyle stalked back to the hall where Kairi was being kept. He walked over to her. “Don’t worry Kairi. He doesn’t know the full plan! Just enough to make Sora get here sooner. But don’t worry I’ll help you get over the fact that your boyfriend is going to die in front of you. It will be most amusing to hear his last words. Do you think he’ll beg for mercy? I’d love that. The prophecy is coming true. Now lets see if we can fulfill it. The infamous Keybearer will fall beneath the Supreme Dark Lord Kyle! Or as I should say Elyk!” He laughed a cold bitter laugh. He began to walk away but said one last thing to Kairi, “Your hero will fall Kairi, and this time there will be nobody to catch him!”
As Riku hung against the wall his heart swelled with unstoppable sorrow. He hated to see Kairi lying lifelessly on the ground. He saw her new bracelet glowing with Sora’s steady heartbeat.
