Chapter 1: In the Crimson Snow
He felt like he was floating. His body shivered and twitched, though he did not feel cold. Faintly he could hear the sound of wind blowing… blowing over the sea. Suddenly, he could smell the scent of the ocean. A familiar scent, one which always reminded him of home. Groggily he opened his eyes. The world around him began to come into colour, and softly into focus. He could see the sea, or rather, he was laying in it. Riku sat up quickly, in shock. “Water, lake…” his words trailed off as he looked around. “Ocean… huh… What the fuck!?” Riku yelled as he splashed around in the water unintentionally.
“Scaring the fishies is not going to get you anywhere,” said a cold, yet strangely familiar voice. Riku reluctantly turned his head and body around in the general direction of the voice. He both hated and was disgusted at what he faced. The all too familiar black leather robe and silver chain, worn by the members of Organization XIII. Riku glared dangerously at the dark figure. “Damn, don’t look at me like that!” moaned the figure.
“Humph, and why not?” growled Riku, clearly annoyed.
“Because if it was not for me. your little buddies would be dead by now, and you would not have gotten your little “reflection” moment.”
“Dead?”
“Yes D-E-A-D. Got it memorized?”
At the mention of that last line, Riku’s eyes opened widely. He knew it. Slowly the dark figure removed its hood to reveal the fire red hair, green eyes, and unmistakable black markings of the Organization’s pyromaniac, Axel. Riku wanted nothing more then but to place his rugged hands around that small neck and strangle the former Nobody, but Axel had a point. He had turned his back on the Organization, and he did save Sora from being killed.
Sluggishly, Riku pulled himself out of the water and walked towards the beach where the Nobody was standing. “Where in hell are Sora and Kairi!” yelled the frustrated teen. He could not kill Axel, but that did not mean he had to be nice to him. He grabbed Axel’s robe and shook him hard. “Where are Sora and Kairi?” Axel just chuckled Riku was fully prepared to punch him in the face regardless of any circumstances.
“You know when you pull a face like that, you remind me of someone I once knew. The white hair, the green eyes, guy was a freak.” A pause. “Anyway, to answer your question, they are not here and probably won’t be here any time soon. My best guess they will be here in about sixty to seventy years. Got it memorized?” Riku’s face grew pale at what the former nobody was telling him as he slowly let Axel go. Axel quickly brushed himself off and looked at the now confused teen a small one sided smile appeared on his face.
“Sixty to seventy years…” Riku said shaken as he ran his hand through his hair. “What happened, where the hell am I?” he yelled.
“The answer to that would be you‘re dead and this is heaven.” Axel said in his normal disappointed voice.
“I’m dead?” the silver haired teen asked even more confused. “That can’t be right… I can’t be dead!!” Riku said angrily. Axel just rolled his eyes and walked around behind Riku, sweeping one of his gloved hands over the teens head.
“Then what’s this?” Axel asked, holding a glowing ring in front of the teen. Riku’s eyes narrowed as he watched the ring sway before him. Just then it hit him like a ton of bricks and images started flashing before his eyes. He could feel pain, pain erupting from inside of him. He could see blood everywhere, Sora and Kairi were swinging their keyblades fiercely. His pain grew, and he fell forward on his knees, his hands wrapping around his midsection and his eyes shut tightly. The pain was overwhelming as the events unfolded in his head. He could faintly hear the sound of cloth tearing. Riku threw his head back and let out a scream.
Suddenly, it stopped. The pain left as quickly as it had come. Riku opened his eyes, streaks on his cheeks where tears had poured down his face. He knelt there looking up at the sky, when he noticed something. Soft white feathers were falling from the sky. He looked down and found his shirt split in half in the sand, shocked he turned his head around looking up. Axel stood there holding the ring in his folded arms. “So you know what happened now.” Riku just felt sick, his eyes glazed over and his head pounded. Axel dropped the glowing ring it immediately floated back over to Riku taking its rightful place. Axel then proceeded to pick up the shocked teen. Riku’s legs felt wobbly as he tried to hold himself upright. Axel supported the disoriented teen as they both walked into the water. “Look down.” Axel said almost regretfully. Riku obeyed his eyes opened widely with what he saw.
He did indeed have a shiny ring floating above his head, but what was worse was the large white wings which had appeared delicately from his shoulder blades. Riku’s body looked perfect even more then perfect then the last time he had looked in a mirror, except for two things. “What’s with the two ugly scar things?” Riku asked turning to Axel. Axel observed the beautiful and almost flawless solid chest and abdomen of Riku. “Oh, that’s your time scar,” he said after coming to his senses. “Yeah, the time scar. Basically the mark left by the wound that killed you, got that!!”
Riku looked down regretfully at the marks with a large sigh. “So I have to spend the rest of eternity with a constant reminder of how I was killed?”
“Yup.”
“And do you have one?”
“Nope.”
Riku grumbled under his breath at Axels unenthusiastic answers. “So how does an evil bitch like you make it to heaven, anyway?” Axel hated being referred to as a bitch. Saix had referred to him as one all the time. He was a male, and was fully equipped and prepared to share if anyone’s memory required jogging.
“Self Sacrifice! I put my whole being into an attack to save your friend. So I just faded away and ended up here.” Axel sneered as he threw a right hook at Riku’s face. The combat experienced teen dodged the right hook and threw one of his own. ‘Crack!’ was the only sound carried over the wind. Riku stood shaking his right hand in the air fully annoyed looking as the mumbling nobody. Axel’s hands covered his nose as a thick red liquid began to flow over his leather gloves and onto the sand. “Bastard!” yelled Axel as he waited for the blood to come to a complete halt. “Heh not bad, ass wipe,” Axel snarled as he charged at Riku. He moved like the wind, Riku could never remember the nobody being able to move so quickly. He could hardly keep track of him.
Riku crossed his arms and placed them in front of his chest as a defense against the pyromaniac’s attack. The pressure on his arms was intense as the nobody used them to leap off and gain height for his next assault. Riku thought his arms where going to break and the shock wave sent him back a few paces. He looked up - Axel was in the air and even with out wings he still seemed to be able to fly. That was when Riku realized what was happening, Axel was summoning. Flames swirled and spun around the nobody like large serpents. That’s when they appeared. Axels two flaming Chakram appeared in his hands. “Now lets see how good you are!” Axel yelled down to Riku. “BURN BEBE!!” The two Chakram ignited fully as Axel sent them flying through the air with alarming speed and accuracy towards Riku. This was going to hurt, and Riku knew it. He would not be able to doge this one. He blocked his face with his arms and closed his eyes, waiting for the burning impact of the Chakram to come.
There was what appeared to be a flash of white light, and then a sound of slicing. Riku gritted his teeth as he waited for the Chackram’s stings, but they never came. Slowly Riku opened his eyes and to his surprise both Chakram lay split in half on the ground. Confused, Riku looked around and spotted a heavily cursing Axel kicking around sand. Then he turned his gaze to his hands “Oblivion!?” he said in both shock and major confusion. It was indeed Oblivion; Sora’s Oblivion; the dark key blade had appeared in his hands. That’s when he remembered, Way to the Dawn (his keyblade) had been destroyed in the fight with the Dragoon. Oblivion had come to take its place, being the only keyblade with similar properties.
Riku swung the keyblade around. He now had an advantage. He was going to end this stupidity once and for all. He was going to be the one to put Axel in his place.
. With out any regared the silver haired teen charged at the red haired pyromaniac. Axel spotted him out of the corner of his eye.
“Fool” he mumbled under his breath as he got into a more suitable position for countering the teen. Nearing his target Riku thrusted Oblivion forward. Axel countered him by moving his torso out of the way. Axel stretched out a hand and grabbed Riku around the wrist. Riku’s momentum managed to send him flying backwards when combined with the sudden brakes.
Riku yelled as he was sent flying through the air. In addition so his scream the faint sound of cloth ripping could once again be heard. Axel could only chuckle as he watched what he considered a master piece. A flying, half naked, silver haired angel, wearing blue jeans hitting the sand sending large amounts of it up into the air as he skidded to a stop. Riku’s white arm band lay torn in the sand. A horrified look came over the teen as he got up looking at the split arm band. Axel noticed the change in the teens expression and promptly stopped laughing.
All the colour seemed to be draining from Riku’s face.
“You look like you have seen a ghost!!” yelled Axel from across the beach. The other teen did not respond , Riku seemed almost lost in a trance. His green eyes where wide and wild. He sat down in the sand totally blowing off the nobody. Axel shrugged his shoulders and strutted over to where the teen sat, considering him self the victor of their little romp. He walked behind Riku and managed to catch a glimpse of what he was looking at. Three old and jagged marks lay on the inside of Riku’s wrist. Axels cheerful expression turned into a frenzy of concern.
“You know in addition to the time scare the only marks which appear on our bodies are the ones that haunt us during our live, the ones that even death could not remove from us.”
Riku could hear Axel’s voice and his words where registering in his head but he could not take his eyes from the marks. The red haired man sat himself beside the troubled teen for once being silent. Riku was thankful Axel was there, his presence was weirdly comforting. Riku began to speak. Not really knowing the reason why. He guessed that he just needed to really get this out of his system. He never got a chance to tell Sora anyways and now he never would.
“This should have been my time scar” he said almost angrily.
“What is it though?” came Axels voice
“When Sora beat Ansem he had to shut the door to the world of darkness, I had become one with the darkness and so I sealed myself in the realm of darkness hoping I could help. However, there was another reason I locked myself away there, a more sinister one.”
Axel noticed that the teens voice was quivering slightly. Those bright aqua green eyes just portrayed his sadness, and his guilt.
“I went in there never wanting to leave, never making it back to the world of light, I wanted to just stay in that darkness and fade away. I almost killed my two best friends, I had killed innocent people, I was responsible for the destruction of hundreds of lives. It was disgusting that I was being allowed to live”
Riku’s voice was really beginning to crack now.
“ I was part of the darkness, and Sora had defeated the darkness. I decided to end it right then and there. I summoned way to the dawn. I remembered how the smooth sharp blade illuminated the darkness slightly. I rolled up my left sleeve exposing my pale skin. My veins where coursing with blood, becoming more and more visible as my heart raced. I brought the blade up to the inside of my wrist. I can’t remember if I cried out or not. The cold sting running up my spine as metal met flesh. The first slash was for those I didn’t know, the second was for Kairi, the third time was for Sora. Each cut was deeper and larger then the one before it. I sat there next to a rock and waited for my life force to spill out. I could have hasten my death by slitting my other side as well as my neck, but I wanted to die slowly, I wanted nothing more then to die slowly, I wanted to suffer more then those I hurt.”
Riku just looked out to the ocean. Axel thought his jaw was going to drop open at any moment. He knew the teen had problems but suicide was a whole other story. Quietly Riku took up his story again.
“ Shortly after my other self realized what I had done and ageist my own will my other hand moved and covered my bleeding arm. I attempted to protest reaching for my key blade. My efforts proved to be futile. I had even gone as far a running away from the king to die alone, in a place where no one could stop me. But, here I was being forced to stop by my own hand....my own damned darkness. Eventually I had no choice, I gave in and watched as the wound was healed and closed up. The only thing remaining was the scars. At that point I had enough if I could not destroy my own darkness I would hide myself from it. I tore off the sleeve of my jacket. I tore it into a long strip and placed it over my eyes.”
Axel realized the teens voice was changing. It was becoming more aggressive almost hateful.
“ With out my sight I had to concentrate more on where I was going rather then what I had done. I would not have to face Kairi or Sora, or anyone ever again. They say our eyes are the gate way to our soul. With out my eyes I would no longer have a soul, this was my suicide and I truly thought that I would never be Riku again.”
The silver haired teen let out a deep breath, in relief proud that he now had that off his chest. Axel just looked at him wide eyed. Riku felt the eyes looking at him and slowly turned to face the other man.
“One question, What killed you? I mean you and Roxas... I mean Sora and you managed to kill Xemnas.” Asked Axel really wishing to end the awkward silence.
“A Dragoon nobody”
“Come again...”
“A DRAGOON NOBODY”
Axel smirked slightly and then fell into all out laughter.
“ You mean to tell me the Great Riku was killed by one of Xaldin’s little dragon whore’s”
“Hey I did not recover from having my ribs broken by your beloved superior” Riku replied angrily.
Axel continued to roll around laughing in the sand.
“Oh my god... it hurts” was about all he managed to say
“AXXXXXXXXXEEEEEELLLLLLLLL”
The pyromaniac stopped laughing, jumped to his feet, and if at all possible turned paler then he already was.
Riku turned around and noticed a woman wearing a blue robe and black. Her wings where metallic silver and looked hauntingly mesmerizing as the refection from water ripples danced upon them as she walked.
“I see you are disturbing one of our new arrivals” said the woman crossing her arms facing the pyro. Her long brown hair flying in the wind as she moved in mild disgust away from him.
“I only do it because I wanna view of that tight ass of yours”
There was a loud thunk and then something that Riku took as being you fucken bitch. However, the words where mildly muffled.
Axel was now once again on his knees only this time he was holding his mid section panting heavily. The woman refolded her arms, put her nose in the air, and turned to face riku.
“ Hi my name is Rinoa” She said in a cheerful voice as she look over the shirtless silver haired teen. She put a hand out for him to shake.
“I’m Riku” taking her hand in his, “and this is Axel” pointing the kneeling black coat thingy.
“So you know him?”
“Unfortunately”
“I can hear both of you”
Rinoa gave Axel a dangerous look. “ At lest he is being a gentile man unlike when I had to teach you stuff!”
“Teach me” Riku said in a confused voice.
“Yes, or do you want to spend the rest of eternity walking around half naked. Not that I... I mean anyone would mind”
Riku blushed slightly. “No, so how do I get the clothing back?”
“This is heaven if you really need or want something you can make it appear. However, you can not summon up people who are still living.”
Riku was a little saddened when he herd that last bit but was happy that he was going to be bale to allow his clothing to reappear.
“What do I do about my wings”
“Oh, you can summon them away they only really appear when you are being helped or going to help someone.” she said with a small smile “Oh, and don’t worry there are no rules here. If you need me just ring a bell however, I am a help angel only I can not spend days keeping normal angels company”
With that said she turned to walk away when the unmistakable vice of Axel met her ears.
“Heh, is that the best you can do?”
Rinoa turned around and gave him a vicious glare. Rikus eyes opened widely as he watched Rinoa launch one of her steel toed boots between the legs of Axel once again. The former nobody gave a yelp as she pulled away from him. He covered his now pummeled balls with his hands and keeled over.
“ He’s your friend, you deal with him I will have some first aid’s sent down later ” she said smiling at Riku as she opened those beautiful wings and took off. Riku softly chuckled to himself as the thought about dispelling his wings. Softly and slowly he could feel the feathers fall away from him, it all seemed so magical as he watched them fall slowly like snow. For once he could view the world with out seeing the crimson colour which surrounded his past for so very long. Once finished when his wing he wished for his clothing back. Slowly it began to materialize on to his body.
He sighed with happiness at the thought of being dressed again. He was about to begging walking down the beach towards his self appointed “house” when he remembered the nobody. Riku looked down to find that the loud smart mouthed Axel had now been reduced to what Riku could only describe as a whimpering black leather ball with a red tuff sticking out of it. Riku rolled his eyes and picked up the nobody. Not to any of his surprise Axel was extremely light. He walked down the beach with Axel now thrown over his shoulder still clutching his balls towards the only other house on the beach. He knew it was Axel’s from when he first noticed it, I mean who else would have a large chakram on their front lawn anyways.

“Because if it was not for me. your little buddies would be dead by now, and you would not have gotten your little “reflection” moment.”
“Dead?”
“Yes D-E-A-D. Got it memorized?”

Axel quickly brushed himself off and looked at the now confused teen a small one sided smile appeared on his face.
“Sixty to seventy years…” Riku said shaken as he ran his hand through his hair. “What happened, where the hell am I?” he yelled.

“I’m dead?” the silver haired teen asked even more confused. “That can’t be right… I can’t be dead!!” Riku said angrily. Axel just rolled his eyes and walked around behind Riku, sweeping one of his gloved hands over the teens head.
“Then what’s this?” Axel asked, holding a glowing ring in front of the teen. Riku’s eyes narrowed as he watched the ring sway before him. Just then it hit him like a ton of bricks and images started flashing before his eyes. He could feel pain, pain erupting from inside of him.

“ With out my sight I had to concentrate more on where I was going rather then what I had done. I would not have to face Kairi or Sora, or anyone ever again. They say our eyes are the gate way to our soul. With out my eyes I would no longer have a soul, this was my suicide and I truly thought that I would never be Riku again.”
The silver haired teen let out a deep breath, in relief proud that he now had that off his chest. Axel just looked at him wide eyed. Riku felt the eyes looking at him and slowly turned to face the other man.
“One question, What killed you? I mean you and Roxas... I mean Sora and you managed to kill Xemnas.” Asked Axel really wishing to end the awkward silence.
“A Dragoon nobody”
“Come again...”
“A DRAGOON NOBODY”
Axel smirked slightly and then fell into all out laughter.
“ You mean to tell me the Great Riku was killed by one of Xaldin’s little dragon whore’s”
“Hey I did not recover from having my ribs broken by your beloved superior” Riku replied angrily.
Axel continued to roll around laughing in the sand.
“Oh my god... it hurts” was about all he managed to say
“AXXXXXXXXXEEEEEELLLLLLLLL”
The pyromaniac stopped laughing, jumped to his feet, and if at all possible turned paler then he already was.
Riku turned around and noticed a woman wearing a blue robe and black. Her wings where metallic silver and looked hauntingly mesmerizing as the refection from water ripples danced upon them as she walked.
“I see you are disturbing one of our new arrivals” said the woman crossing her arms facing the pyro. Her long brown hair flying in the wind as she moved in mild disgust away from him.
“I only do it because I wanna view of that tight ass of yours”
There was a loud thunk and then something that Riku took as being you fucken bitch. However, the words where mildly muffled.
Axel was now once again on his knees only this time he was holding his mid section panting heavily. The woman refolded her arms, put her nose in the air, and turned to face riku.
“ Hi my name is Rinoa” She said in a cheerful voice as she look over the shirtless silver haired teen. She put a hand out for him to shake.
“I’m Riku” taking her hand in his, “and this is Axel” pointing the kneeling black coat thingy.
“So you know him?”
“Unfortunately”
“I can hear both of you”
Rinoa gave Axel a dangerous look. “ At lest he is being a gentile man unlike when I had to teach you stuff!”
“Teach me” Riku said in a confused voice.
“Yes, or do you want to spend the rest of eternity walking around half naked. Not that I... I mean anyone would mind”
Riku blushed slightly. “No, so how do I get the clothing back?”
“This is heaven if you really need or want something you can make it appear. However, you can not summon up people who are still living.”
Riku was a little saddened when he herd that last bit but was happy that he was going to be bale to allow his clothing to reappear.
“What do I do about my wings”
“Oh, you can summon them away they only really appear when you are being helped or going to help someone.” she said with a small smile “Oh, and don’t worry there are no rules here. If you need me just ring a bell however, I am a help angel only I can not spend days keeping normal angels company”
With that said she turned to walk away when the unmistakable vice of Axel met her ears.
“Heh, is that the best you can do?”
Rinoa turned around and gave him a vicious glare. Rikus eyes opened widely as he watched Rinoa launch one of her steel toed boots between the legs of Axel once again. The former nobody gave a yelp as she pulled away from him. He covered his now pummeled balls with his hands and keeled over.
“ He’s your friend, you deal with him I will have some first aid’s sent down later ” she said smiling at Riku as she opened those beautiful wings and took off. Riku softly chuckled to himself as the thought about dispelling his wings. Softly and slowly he could feel the feathers fall away from him, it all seemed so magical as he watched them fall slowly like snow. For once he could view the world with out seeing the crimson colour which surrounded his past for so very long. Once finished when his wing he wished for his clothing back. Slowly it began to materialize on to his body.
He sighed with happiness at the thought of being dressed again. He was about to begging walking down the beach towards his self appointed “house” when he remembered the nobody. Riku looked down to find that the loud smart mouthed Axel had now been reduced to what Riku could only describe as a whimpering black leather ball with a red tuff sticking out of it. Riku rolled his eyes and picked up the nobody. Not to any of his surprise Axel was extremely light. He walked down the beach with Axel now thrown over his shoulder still clutching his balls towards the only other house on the beach. He knew it was Axel’s from when he first noticed it, I mean who else would have a large chakram on their front lawn anyways.
