Ok, I got sick from eating all the cookie's, but I think I'm okay now.
Chapter 10
Traveling To The Town Of Traverse
Riku's smiled wide as he looked at the hundreds of black winged demons around him. He was looking through all of them to pick out the one he wanted to kill first. He didn't get a chance to though, as all of them charged in.
"Ha, ha, ha, ha!!!" Riku laughed as he spun around, slashing down ten of them as he launched himslef into the air.
Five others followed after Riku. Riku held out his hand, and a firey blue orb formed in his palm.
"Death awaits you!" Riku said as an insane grin spred across his face.
He threw it, and it shot down into the monsters face, exploding on contact. He turned and kicked another beast in it's solar plexus. His new suite kept him from being harmed by the ice cold darkness the monsters where made out of. Riku slashed the next two that followed him, then shot to the ground, his sword point down.
He landed and stabbed his sword right into the beast, sucking it inside his sword. Riku turned and slashed the next two that came at him. He smiled, then dived strait into the pack of monsters, laughing mercilessly the whole time.
In about ten minutes, every monster was absorbed into Riku's Soul Eater. He smelled the air, enjoying the scent of death that hung in the air. He turned, and started to walk towards the edge of the orb.
'Ha, what to destroy next?' Riku thought. 'This world? Nah, to easy. How about...' A vision of Maleficent's face flashed before Riku's eyes, and a grin spread across his lips.
"Perfect." He breathed.
He broke into a run, and jumped out of the orb. Riku looked around, not seeing anything more than the endless purple sea.
"How...Did I get here to begin with?" Riku asked himself.
"Seems you are in need of learning." A deep voice behind Riku said.
"Who the hell?" Riku asked as he turned.
Behind him was a hooded and cloaked man. He was very short and stalky, possibly hunch-backed. The hood was casting a shadow on the mans face, hiding it. He stood there, seemingly staring at him.
"I said, who the hell are you?!" Riku shouted.
"That's not of importance. You need to...Return to Hollow Bastion, correct?" The hooded man asked.
"How'd you know?" Riku asked.
"That's irrelivant. You need to be taught how to use the darkness for interworld travel." The hooded man replied.
"You can do that?" Riku asked.
"Of course. It will also increase your control over the darkness, thus increasing your power. Do you want to be taught?" The hooded man asked.
Riku smiled.
"Yes! At once!" Rike replied.
"Fine then. Kneel." The hooded man said.
Riku did so, and found himself at even hieth with the man. The mans right hand shot forward, knocking Riku in the forehead. He flew back several feet, yelling in curse.
"What the hell did you do that for?!" Riku yelled springing up.
He looked around, and found the man was gone.
"Damn him!!!" Riku yelled. "He did that just to smack me! That bastard!"
Riku felt a jolt shoot through his head. The information was running through his head like wild-fire. Riku looked to right, sheathed his sword, and swiftly extended his right arm. Blue lightning crackled around his hand, and then a black and purple portal opened in front of him. Riku walked through the portal, and closed his eyes.
He felt his stomach lurch, and a tug behind his navel. There was a wooshing sound all around him, but he felt like he was staying completley still.
The wooshing stopped, and Riku opened his eyes. He was standing in front of the heart shaped portal again. He knew he was back in Hollow Bastion. He smiled, and turned, and felt something jab into his heart.
"AAA!" Riku screamed, throwing his head back. He looked up, and saw Maleficent standing before him, her cepter pointing at his heart, green lightning shooting from it into his heart.
"No! Stop it, you bitch! You're taking away the-AAA!" Riku screamed as he fell to the ground face first.
Maleficent stopped her absorbing spell. Riku growned softly, then passed out.
"What great darkness this boys heart was holding! I'm glad I got rid of it before he used it against me." Maleficent said as she smiled.
She walked over to Riku, and picked him up by the collar of his shirt, and raised her left hand to the ceiling. A black and purple portal appeared on it, and Maleficent threw Riku into it.
***
Riku opened his eyes to bright sunlight. He wiped them, and sat up. He was back in his bedroom at Hollow Bastion.
'How'd I get back here?' Riku thought. 'Last thing I remember was the Behemoth's attack, but that's it.' Riku decided to forget about it, and be thankful he was alive. He exetid his bedroom, and walked down the hallway, looking for Maleficent. He was sure she had the answers he needed.
"Maleficent?" Riku called out. "Maleficent? Hey! Maleficent!"
After a few minutes of calling out her name, Riku felt something brush against his neck. He summoned the Soul Eater to his hand, and turned. He felt something hit his chest, and he flew backwards, and down the stairs leading into the entrance way.
"Do not attempt something like that on me again, boy." Maleficent said coldly as she appeared at the hall opening.
"Sorry." Riku said standing up. "Maleficent, I have something to ask of you."
"Well, it'll have to wait." She replied. "Come with me."
Maleficent slammed her cepter down on the floor, and Riku was waiting for the orb to surround them. However, it didn't. Riku looked down as a trap door opened up under him.
"AAA!" Riku screamed as he fell through the floor.
He went through a long, cold slide, before shooting out into the mess hall, where he had first met Hades and the others. It seemed to have been cleaned up a bit, now there was no light in the room at all, except for the glowing green torches on the wall brackets. The floor was now completly made of black stone, and one stone table stood in the center.
A green orb landed next to you, expanded then disapated, and Maleficent appeared from inside it.
"Why didn't we just go in that thing?!" Riku asked.
"What do you mean?" Maleficent asked.
"I mean, why'd you send me down a trap door?!?!"
"Oh, that. Thought I'd mix it up a bit."
Riku rolled his eyes, and followed Maleficent as she beconned him over to the stone table.
He stood next to it, and watched Maleficent as she did the same.
"Well, what's gonna happen? Is a cake gonna float out of it?" Riku asked,
"Be quiet!" Maleficent snapped.
Riku did as he was told, and watched as Maleficent waved her cepter over the table. A small glow issued from it, and the entire top turned green. Two small figures then appeared, one in a long coat with long hair, mostlikely an old man, and another with spiky brown hair.
"Is that...Sora!" Riku gapsed.
"You know this boy?" Maleficent asked.
"Yeah! Of course, he's my best friend." Riku said smiling.
"Hmm..." Maleficent breathed. "Well let's go see him."
"Huh? Is here in this world?" Riku asked.
"No, but we can get to where he is." Maleficent said extending her left palm.
There was a thundering crash, followed by a wave of cold air, then a massive black portal opened up.
"Let's go." Maleficent said grabbing Riku's wrist.
"Huh? Wait-AAA!" Riku said as he was sucked into the portal.
He felt his stomach lurch, his naval being pulled from behind, and his head started spinning.
"Where are we going?" Riku asked as purple and black blurred around him.
"Traverse Town." Maleficent said.
Phew, that chapter took me two hours to write. So you better like it.
