Riku launched the equivalent of a frisbee of darkness (See the Ansem/Riku battle in KH1) and charged, getting ready to smash the boy from a different angle as soon as he blocked the first projectile.

Who is this foolish boy? Riku walked towards the combatant, and darkness began to crackle around him. "You could have left," his voice became more and more distorted as the shadows swirled more furiously. "But you chose to stay," Riku paused for a moment. "I wonder if I'll ever find out why." He pointed his keyblade at the boy, slowly turning it sideways, as if unlocking something. "Yield to the darkness!"

((No, it's not safe to eliminate my only character. "Not quite." The dark firaga exploded out of Riku's hand towards the boy at nearly point blank range.

Riku held his keyblade horizontally towards the incoming strike, blocking the uppercut before it could get as high as his waste. He grunted, using brute strength to hold down the boy's keyblade with his own and slowly moved his free hand towards him. He slowly grinned. as dark fire began to form in his open palm.

Riku sneered, "Run away? I just wanted a better view of the wimps coming at us." "Welcome to Oblivion!" He shouted, releasing a dark firaga and sprinting forward at a speed that almost matched the magic projectile.

Here's the video:

"It's complicated, I suppose..." Riku responded, looking down at his keyblade. He suddenly looked up with a snide, malicious look in his cold eyes, "But you're on the wrong island." His keyblade rose into a fighting stance over his head.

Riku froze mid-strike at Mularia. "Haha... huh?" He jumped backwards, up onto the wooden bridge going over the beach towards another elevated bit of the island. Riku raised his hand over his eyes to shield them from the sun and frowned at the figures flying at them over the water. He grasped his keyblade even tighter as he heard shouts coming from somewhere else.

Check out the news bit at the top of the original post. I could really use anyone who's good with turn-based combat AIs.

This reminds me of SAO, Lol

Riku chuckled, unmoved, "Rolud?" His eyes fluttered over the scythe for a moment, then he ran forwards, feinting a frontal blow and moving behind Mularia with blinding speed.

((I'm glad you guys have decided to visit the islands, but Mularia seems to be at a loss of words, and I don't think you've done anything to allow my character to see you yet.

((At the moment, Riku has Key of Hearts (The black keyblade he used in KH1) pointed rather aggressively at Mularia because the pink haired man just mentioned a plan about betraying Xehanort and making an X Blade

"Hmpth," Riku smirked, "Let's see if you're even worth following." There was a shadowy blur in his hand, and his black keyblade appeared. As he drew it above his head, Riku frowned for half a second, as he realized that the fighting stance wasn't as original as it felt.

Riku observed the petal. "Baldy? If I remember correctly," His voice began to become distorted as it mixed with that of Ansem, "...I am a deviation of him."

((I took a nap, got up, walked by a collapsing Young Xehanort, and am about to speak to Mularia. ~Probably the most developed character here I'm not trying to fight the darkness or anything, just wearing the normal yellow shirt and blue pants because it's a bit more casual and suited for napping, than dark armor. "I know," Riku grunted at Mularia, slightly annoyed. "Welcome to the islands. What's on your mind?"

Riku frowned at the figure who had collapsed, waited a moment, and decided not to ponder it further. He then continued towards the other coated man, who he recalled as Malaria.

Nah, man. Mularia/Malaria just pm'd me. Edit: I am accepting of all, though.

I believe I'm currently speaking with Malaria on Destiny Islands, so if you hop in now, it may be at a bit of a disadvantage.

Riku strolled towards the coated figure, recognizing the dark aura around him as friendly. Well, as friendly as icy cruelty, fueled by hatred and a lust for destruction can get. Wasn't he on my side at the Keyblade Graveyard? Riku let his causal clothing turn to darker battle attire as he approached to display his allegiance to Xehanort.

Are Malaria and Dyme Marluxia and Demix replacements, due to the deaths of the originals?

Riku yawned and got up from his nap at Destiny Islands. It was a rather relaxing way to spend the day, but things were getting a bit dull. ((It's been eight pages, and no one's come by ))

I'm resting on the beach at Destiny Islands. Don't come through that territory unless you're looking for a fight.

Riku relaxed on a deformed palm tree off Destiny Island's shore, his attire consisting of comfortable yellow and blue clothes. He liked the spot, but that somehow angered him because he knew that this was only a predilection recycled from the original him. Darkness had prevailed, and he needed some time to reconcile with being the only version of Riku around. It would be a while before any more forces of light could gain enough foolish confidence to face him, and he intended to take full advantage of that time. Though, if something was urgent, his group (Young Xehanort and Terranort) would probably guess where he had gone.
