He got his wish when darkness devoured Destiny Islands and he was thrust into the outside world. While looking for his lost friend Kairi, he met Maleficient, and accepted her help. But Maleficient had her eyes on Riku's strength and was working to make him her underdog. She gave Riku the power of darkness, but as he used it, it gained power over him. This is why Riku fought his best friend Sora, and how his heart fell to Ansem, pursuer of darkness. But Riku's heart was freed by Sora's light. Riku, Sora, and the king worked together to close the door to darkness, but Riku was trapped inside, in the realm of darkness. Will he see the realm of light again? _______________________________________________________________________________ Riku's tale II [#03] Led by a mysterious voice, Riku made his way through the card-worlds, but met only dark beings within. Riku was told that because he rejected the other things in his life to claim darkness, his heart is now devoid of anything but the darkness he sought. Unable to accept this, Riku encountered Ansem, who tried yet again to conquer him. The king intervened to save Riku, but Ansem has not let go of his heart. And so Riku must fight the darkness within. _______________________________________________________________________________ Riku's tale III [#04] Embattled with the darkness in his heart, Riku met someone who looked just like him, a replica crafted by Vexen, a member of the organization. The replica commanded darkness freely, and called Riku cowardly for neglecting the dark. Meanwhile, agents of the Organization laid their rivalry bare. Sora and Riku seem to be the reason they control the castle---but why? _______________________________________________________________________________ Riku's tale IV [#05] Vexen took his replica of Riku and headed for the surface, but finally fell at Sora's hands. Lexaeus confronted Riku, meaning to bring him to submission using all force necessary. Though Riku won the battle, Lexaeus used his last strength to drag him into the realm of darkness. There, Ansem's shadow loomed large, but Riku was again saved by the king's light. _______________________________________________________________________________ Riku's tale V [#06] One by one, members of the Organization fell at Riku and Sora's hands---even Marluxia, lord of the castle. Zexion, hoping to avoid a similar fate, tried to use memories of Riku's island home against him. Ignored by his friends and even attacked by Sora---it seemed Riku would be washed away by the light, but Kairi's voice gave him courage. No longer afraid of the darkness, Riku saw through the fake Sora and thwarted Zexion's trap. _______________________________________________________________________________ Riku's tale VI [#07] By embracing his inner darkness, Riku gained a great power, but so did Ansem. Guided by the enigmatic DiZ, Riku made his way through Twilight Town, defeating his copy and locating Namine. With her he found Sora and friends in a deep slumber, waiting to get their lost memories back. Naminé told Riku he could seal Ansem away forever by forgetting him, but Riku would not give up his memories. Riku chose to fight by his own strength. With the king at his side, he now makes ready for a final battle with Ansem. Will his choice take him to the realm of light...or darkness? _______________________________________________________________________________ -[Card Index]- Soul Eater [#08] Reacts to dark power. Riku's strength is higher when he wields darkness in battle _______________________________________________________________________________ The King [#09] The King restores HP, stuns and deals damage to all enemies, and reloads cards. _______________________________________________________________________________ -[Characters I]- Riku [#10] A boy who was born and raised on a small group of islands. Riku dreamt of seeing other worlds, and so he forsook the islands---only to be seduced by the power of darkness. Enslaved by Ansem, pursuer of darkness, Riku clashed with his childhood friend Sora. But in the end he was able to regain himself, and together with Sora closed the door to darkness. Still, the dark wounds in Riku's heart have yet to mend. _______________________________________________________________________________ The King [#11] The king who reigns over Disney Castle. He set off alone to protect his world and all worlds from the dominion of the dark. When Riku fell into the realm of darkness, the king showed him the way, but the two were seperated when the door to darkness was closed. _______________________________________________________________________________ Sora [#12] Riku's boyhood friend, and the hero of light chosen by the Keyblade to stand against the darkness. Riku fought Sora while bridled by darkness, but their friendship proved stronger, and they ultimately worked together to close the door to darkness. _______________________________________________________________________________ Kairi [#13] Riku and Sora's friend growing up. Kairi vanished when their home islands were devoured by darkness. Riku and Sora both journeyed to find her. Kairi was held captive by the Heartless, but thanks to Sora she and the islands were saved. She waits there for Sora and Riku's return. _______________________________________________________________________________ Namine [#14] A young witch who can manipulate memories. Under orders from the Organization, Namine shadowed Kairi and altered Sora's memory. But the forgiveness in Sora's heart moved her to disobey those orders. Now she watches over Sora until the reconstruction of his memories is complete. _______________________________________________________________________________ Riku Replica [#15] A replica of Riku created by Vexen from the real Riku's data. Unlike the real Riku, he wields darkness freely, but is burdened by the fact that he is an imitation. _______________________________________________________________________________ Ansem [#16] Pursuer of darkness. To open the door to darkness, Ansem used the Heartless to steal countless hearts. He enslaved Riku, but met his demise at Sora's hands. Nonetheless, Ansem's shadow lives on in the depths of Riku's heart. _______________________________________________________________________________ Vexen [#17] No. 4 in the Organization. He, Lexaeus, and Zexion have been in the group since its inception, and there is no love lost between them and neophytes like Marluxia. After battling Riku, Vexen turns to events unfolding aboveground, but successive failures lead to his termination by Axel. _______________________________________________________________________________ Lexaeus [#18] No. 5 in the Organization. A born warrior, Lexaeus effortlessly brandishes a gigantic tomahawk. To counterbalance his rival Marluxia's bid for Sora's power, Lexaeus tried to conquer Riku. He failed, but with his dying strength dragged Riku into the realm of darkness. _______________________________________________________________________________ Zexion [#19] No. 6 in the Organization. Zexion generally avoids dirtying his own hands when there are deeds to be done. However, with the destruction of Vexen and Lexaeus, he was forced into action. Zexion confronted Riku disguised as Sora. But Riku no longer feared the dark, and victory was beyond Zexion's reach. _______________________________________________________________________________ Axel [#20] No. 8 in the Organization. He is a shadow whose intentions and secrets are hidden from all. Axel has no qualms about exploiting others to suit his needs. He used Sora and Naminé to silence Marluxia and halt his plot against the Organization. Axel claims he and Sora have something in common, but that connection is unclear. _______________________________________________________________________________ Marluxia [#21] No. 11 in the Organization. Marluxia lured Sora to Castle Oblivion in hopes of using his power to seize the Organization. He orderd Naminé to alter Sora's memories, and fooled Vexen into challenging him. All was going according to plan, but Marluxia's scheme dissolved when Axel set Naminé free. Marluxia was ultimately destroyed by Sora. _______________________________________________________________________________ Larxene [#22] No. 12 in the Organization. Larxene conspired with Marluxia to take over the group, and intended to pull Axel in as well. However, her abrasive, unfeeling personality proved her downfall---provoking Sora's anger was a fatal error. _______________________________________________________________________________ DiZ [#23] Truly an enigma. DiZ appeared before Riku in the guise of Ansem, presenting him with choices regarding the darkness within his heart. It is said he and the king have met. _______________________________________________________________________________ -[Characters II]- Maleficent [#24] A witch who commands the darkness. Maleficent's charms won over Riku, and she empowered him with darkness. In Castle Oblivion she stood before Riku again, this time as a token of the indelible darkness in his heart. _______________________________________________________________________________ Jafar (Genie) [#25] A sorcerer and also Agrabah's royal vizier, transformed by magic.
