Riku's Story

This takes place after Riku and King Mickey stopped the darkness from spreading and destroying the worlds. Well it really takes place after all that. Well enjoy. I DON'T OWN any of the KINGDOM HEARTS characters. Just wanted to clear that up.

Chapter 1 Rachel Leonhart

Riku wakes up on a beach. He sat up and looked off into the distance. He only saw the clear blue ocean, cloudless sky, and a very large airship. It was huge and a little in the distance. Riku was a ring floating on the bottom of this large airship.

"Wait a ship floating in mid-air. No way. Maybe I can ask the pilot where am I." He got to his feet and started waving his hands in the air. But it kept coming closer and closer. "Hey isn't the airship supposed to stop." It surly didn't stop but just kept coming toward him. It was so close to where he jumped to the side on his stomach. The ship stopped where he was standing. But from somewhere behind him, he heard someone yelling.

"Hey Alex, how many times do I have to tell you to look where you're flying Balamb Garden? He was the 100th person you tried running over today. Our Garden may be able to fly but not over people. God!" Riku turned and saw a girl running up to him. He thought she was very beautiful. Her long jet black hair flying in the wind as she ran. Her ocean blue eyes glittered in the sun. She was wearing flare stretch pants and a fancy tan-top. "Hey are you ok?" She was at his side and she was on her knees.

"Yeah thanks, um do you have any clue on where I am?" She smiled.

"Of course are on Balamb Island. But by the look of your clothes, you are not from this world. Don't worry we have gotten a lot of people coming from different worlds. So where are you from?" Riku smiled back, he was glad that he would not have to explain himself.

"I am from Destiny Island. And my name is Riku; it is nice to meet you..."

"Nice to meet you too, Riku. My name is Rachel, Rachel Leonhart." The pilot of the garden came out. He stopped over toward him.

"I am sorry Rachel; I am terrible pilot, aren't I?" Alex looked at the ground. Riku noticed Alex's blonde hair and green eyes. And he was wearing a white dress-shirt with black pants.

"I wouldn't call it terrible, how about...oh maybe terrible is good." She turned to Riku and smiled. "Oh yeah, Riku this is Alex Dincht. And Alex this is Riku from Destiny Island." The guys shook hands but Riku suddenly did not like his surroundings. He turned to look behind Rachel and saw a large fire like monster coming toward them. He tried to say something but Rachel pulled out a gun type sword that had a red color blade with a bird with the wings separated on the sword and a chain with the same bird. She twirled the weapon and sliced the monster in half. Riku looked at her with some what of a surprise,

"She's impressive, isn't she? She is the best in the Seed squad. And is the youngest to ever join the squad." Rachel had put her gun sword away.

"What is a Seed squad? A Garden? That monster? And your gun type sword?" Riku said confusedly.

"Oh yeah your not custom to our world. Sorry. Well a Seed member is a special class of students who help protect the people of my world. Well the large airship is my Garden, which is called Balamb Garden. Well not really mine but I attend classes there. There are a total of four Gardens. My gun type sword is what you would call a gunblade. I would say that it is better than a regular sword, only because you could attack from close or far range. And finally that monster I just destroyed is called a fire eater. Not really a good decision to use fire spells on them. Later I will tell you a little more about my world, but for now don't worry about it."

Riku smiled and was happy that she was not getting annoyed by his questions. And was also happy that she understood how he felt.

"Riku, exactly how did you get here? The portal or access to the other worlds closed three days ago."

"Three days ago I helped ware off the heartless the escape the realm of the darkness. I helped my friend Sora."

"Sora... isn't that the name of the wielder of the keyblade? If I am not mistaken that is him, right?"

"Yes, he is a good friend, I wonder if he is with Kairi or if he is looking for me..." His last sentence faded a little, Rachel looked concerned.

"How about we land the Garden where it is suppose to be, before Headmaster Elone returns. Then we can go to my house and my mother could make us something."

"Rachel I am sorry but I have to go home but I will see you in class."

"But who will pilot the Garden because if we leave it there, the Headmaster will have our heads!"

"I will try, if the controls are not to difficult." Rachel turned to face him. But then Alex ran toward the town Rachel turned and was jumping up and down angrily.

"Hey Alexander Lee Dincht get your sorry behind back over here, right now! You...you jerk! You need to pilot the Garden into place, you jerk!" She turned to the Garden still angry.

"Well if you want me to land the Garden where it is suppose to be. Then I have to go to the bridge." Rachel turned to Riku then nodded.

"Follow me, it's this way." They ran to enter the large Garden. Riku was fascinated on what he saw.

"I couldn't help but notice that the place is empty." They continued through the empty halls.

"Yeah, all the students, teachers, and the Headmaster are visiting families for the summer. I was left here to watch the Garden, only because my mother lives on this island."

"What happened to your father?" He asked as they were going into the elevator. Rachel pressed the button slowly and turned to face him.

"He left to protect the other worlds from destruction. He was hoping to be the wielder of the keyblade but I guess that he isn't because Sora is."

"Did he have a scar on his forehead?"

"Yeah, and his name is Squall Leonhart. Do you know him? Please do tell me how he is and how you know my father." She looked at his hoping for him to continue. He started to frown.

"Well the last time I met your father. I fought against him and he was badly injured." Rachel then looked away sadly.

"Was he on the heartless side?" Riku looked at her shockly. He shook his head.

"No, no your father fought by Sora's side. I was considered the bad. I helped on trying to let the darkness devour the worlds." Rachel looked at him laughing. Riku looked at her oddly.

"You evil? Well maybe you were but you don't seem like it anymore. When we met I thought that you were kind. And don't get me wrong you are kind. But I don't get the image that you were evil. I am sorry for laughing though."

"It is alright. Are we almost there?" Once he said that the doors to the elevator opened and Rachel ran to the bridge.

"Yeah it is right up this elevator." They ran to the elevator and once they were up there Riku only saw a stick.

"Where are the controls?" Rachel laughed and then smiled.

"That stick is the controls. I know that it is odd but there are things about this Garden that is odd and weird." Riku walked over to the control stick and moved it forward and the Garden went backwards. Rachel almost lost her balance.

"Ok well I know that now that I have to press backwards to go forward." Rachel nodded. He moved the stick toward him and it went forward.

"Just go up a little more... That's it... You did it. Now land it slowly." Riku tried but the controls stick slipped and Rachel went forward bumping into Riku. She blushed slightly.

"Well the landing was a little hard but I think that I did well for a beginner." Rachel and Riku smiled.

"Yeah you did. Now we can get out of here and I can introduce you to my mother. But let me warn you, my mother can get a little out of control with guests." Riku nodded. Then they ran toward the exit.
