This was a fight he was going to win. The two fought numerous times, they knew each other well, but at the same time the two went on separate journey and learned new things as well. He knew he couldn’t lower his guard and especially after all Sora had done during the battle against Xehanort. Sora was a formidable foe and had been the target for trouble so many times because of his strength…and yet this is the same Sora he was jealous of? The moment Riku felt the connection of Sora’s key with his shield Riku had instantly attempted to follow up with the kick towards Sora while the male was staggering. To Riku’s surprise the boy before him managed to avoid the kick, having Riku’s foot traverse through open air. Twisting his body from the kick and kicking nothing, Riku face Sora once more and landed upon the ground. Clenching his keyblade tightly he narrowed his eyes as he noticed the sudden change in Sora’s clothing and the shifting appearance of his keyblade. A powerful thrust burst forward from Sora as he thrusted his keyblade spear towards him. Raising his keyblade he would hold it horizontally before him, placing his freehand behind the blade as he blocked the blow, his feet moving back as he grit his teeth and held back the blow. Once the blow was finished, Riku felt the pressure lessen as Sora attempted to grab some distance. Pushing forward, Riku swung his keyblade the moment there was no resistance and dashed forward. With a spear like that it was going to be hard to fight in a midranged battle and he knew he needed to get close. The moment Sora jumped back Riku rushed forward but at that moment Sora changed his keyblade into another weapon. Twin YoYos appeared in Sora's hand and without hesitation, the weapons were thrown at Riku. As Riku rushed forward his eyes widened and kicked up of the ground. The moment his feet left the ground his body vanished and reappeared right above Sora with a raised keyblade having narrowly missed the strike. Descending down, Riku swung his keyblade at Sora. Should it be blocked or dodge didn’t matter as the moment that Riku’s continued to descend he would find his keyblade slamming against the floor, releasing a shockwave on the ground. Before Sora’s Yo Yo’s could return back and hit Riku in the back the silver haired warrior was already gone once more, disappearing and reappearing above wherever Sora was and slamming his keyblade down, doing this for a total of three times. With the final blow he slammed down his keyblade, releasing the final shockwave across the area.
Actions: - Riku blocks the strike from Sora's spear - Riku uses Helm Split to avoid Sora's Twin Yo-Yos and strike at Sora
Cooldown: Firaga: By pointing his keyblade forward, Riku fires a small ball of fire that turns into a massive explosion upon contact (2 post cooldown) Dark Shield: A small shield of darkness that Riku can form in front of himself to block moderate damaging attacks. (2 post cooldown)Helm Split: A move where Riku warps above his opponent and slams his keyblade downwards, causing a shockwave to spread out should his keyblade hit the ground. Riku repeats this action two more times before finishing. (3 post cooldown)

Riku wanted to win, so did Sora. He gritted his teeth, he felt Riku block his strike. Sora watched as Riku retaliated, he disappeared and slammed downwards, Sora dodged the initial blow, lading he quickly hit by the impending shockwave, it lifted him into the air with its force.
Sora was than hit with Riku's 3 following hits and the final shockwave sent Sora flying, he was able to recover and land on the ground. Gripping his arm, "Ugh... Same old Riku..." Sora still had the energy to keep going.
Sora switched back to the Wheel Of Fate, holding it high above his head. A barrier of water surrounded Sora for just a few moments, it would give him a breather albeit a quick one. The water was soon sent towards Riku in a ball, the ball would explode into a large splash on impact. Sora would Focus on Riku for a moment.
Sora than unleashed his shotlock, Flag Rampage. Summoning forth the Storm Flag, Sora gripped the flag tightly before cutting loose, repeatedly slashing at Riku in hopes of at least doing some damage. Sora had taken major damage and he needed to catch back up.
As Sora finished the slashes, he would land swiftly and guard, anticipating a retaliation from Riku. Sora held the flag in front of him with both hands expecting a strike from the front.
Sora dodged Riku's inital hit of Helm Split, but was hit by the shockwave and the rest of the attack. Sora casts Wateraga at Riku Sora uses Flag Rampage at Riku
Cooldown: Blizzaga Ready Strike Form 2/3 Wateraga 1/3 Flag Rampage 1/2

The strikes were relentless and quick. It was no surprise that Sora was able to dodge the initial blow, but Riku was ready for the follow up and was able to take Sora off guard with his waves and the subsequent strikes hit hard against the fellow keyblade wielder. The two of them fought so much together and though they knew some of the same moves, their fighting style differed so much. Sora was still ready to fight and Riku didn’t expect anything less. That determination was one of Sora’s strong points, yet it annoyed him how weak minded he was being in general. Gripping his keyblade tightly once more, Riku dashed towards Sora once swinging his keyblade straight towards Sora, but Sora was quick enough and Riku found his keyblade making contact with Sora’s water barrier. The blast of water immediately knocked back Riku, pushing back the master as he flew back. His feet eventually managed to reach the ground and began to skid as the force continued to push him until finally he managed to come to a stop. Gritting his teeth, Riku rose his keyblade once more prepping himself for Sora’s follow up strike and then it happened. Relentless strikes with his flag formed keyblade swung true and Riku yelled out as he began to swing his keyblade as fast as he could, backing away with each swing. With each swipe of his keyblade he attempted to block each strike from Sora, but it was barely enough to block each slash. In no time Riku was overwhelmed by the numerous slashes and he was slashed about. When the attack was over the keyblade master was knocked off the building the two had chosen to fight on top of, but Riku had positioned himself just right. As Riku began to descend downwards he merely took hold of the grip of his keyblade with both hands and held it before him. In that instance the body of Riku vanished into thin air and reappeared beside Sora in an instant as he used Dark Splicer. The moment Riku took form beside Sora he suddenly began to do a barrage of slashes at his best friend before teleporting toward another side and slashing him again. From numerous angles Riku would constantly appear, slashing his friend multiple times until finally he finished with a mighty final slash.
Actions:
- Riku attempts to slash Sora but the Wateraga barrier blocks it and knocks him back - Riku attempts to counter Flag Rampage while backing away to the corner of the building they are on top of but takes most of the attack and is knocked off - Riku uses Dark Splicer while he is falling and reappears before Sora.
Cooldown:
Firaga: By pointing his keyblade forward, Riku fires a small ball of fire that turns into a massive explosion upon contact (1 post cooldown) Dark Shield: A small shield of darkness that Riku can form in front of himself to block moderate damaging attacks. (1 post cooldown) Helm Split: A move where Riku warps above his opponent and slams his keyblade downwards, causing a shockwave to spread out should his keyblade hit the ground. Riku repeats this action two more times before finishing. (2 post cooldown)
Dark Splicer: A powerful move where Riku begins to float into the air and then proceed to vanish. Immediately Riku will appear before his opponent and begin to repeatedly slash them, vanishing and reappearing from different directions as he repeatedly slashes. There is a noticeable startup time before he begins vanishing and because he is moving so fast he cannot defend while slashing. (4 post cooldown)

Sora knew most of Riku's techniques, just as Riku knew Sora's. Sora was glad to see that the wall of water had protected him. Sora hated this fight... but he wouldn't give up so easily, he watched as Riku recovered. His rampage of slashes managed to knock Riku off. Sora ran to the edge, his flag disappearing as he looked over. "RIKU?!" The boy would shout nervously, hoping his friend was okay. His guard was down. The boy spotted Riku falling for just a moment.
Riku vanished, Sora was a bit confused, before he was struck with the full Dark Splicer. Each hit connected and Sora wasn't prepared, the attack did a lot of damage. The final slash knocked Sora hard onto the center of the building. Sora managed to stand up shaking heavily. "Riku... This is pointless! Why are we doing this?!" Sora asked once again. His keyblade soon returning to him, his clothes changing to their normal appearance. He quickly held the blade upwards, "Heal!" The boy would attempt to cast Curaga on himself. The boy switched his keychain, the Kingdom Key switched into Ever After. Holding the key tightly, he looked at his friend. Sora wouldn't take the offensive, instead, he would take a defensive stance watching Riku's movements. Sora might not have to win this fight, he just needed to escape. "Riku... are you sure you wanna keep fighting?!"
Sora took all of Riku's Dark Splicer. Sora healed and took a defense stance watching Riku.
Cooldown:
Strike Form expired Wateraga: 2/3
Flag Rampage Ready. Curaga 1/3
3 Grand Points (Forgot to count it last time sorry)

The final slash knocked Sora away and Riku adjusted his stance and looked towards Sora as he prepped himself once more. The male was panting as he looked at Sora, the strike from before doing its fair share to him, but he was far from done. This wasn’t just about bringing Sora home, it was about defeating him and beating some sense in his thick skull.
Sora didn’t want to fight, but Riku did. Sora was weakened, but Riku anticipated Sora’s next move the moment Sora began to raise his keyblade. Instantly Riku began to dart forward, kicking off the ground and rushing forward letting out a powerful yell as he closed the distance between the two friends. The cure spell went off, but Riku managed to get up close to him and with a swing off his keyblade he slashed horizontally, clashing with Sora’s own keyblade and knocked it to the side, leaving Sora open.
With Sora now open, Riku followed up with his next move and reached forward with his free hand and clenched Sora’s shirt with a tight grip and pushed him downwards. In one hand he continued to hold the shirt of his best friend while in the other he held his keyblade, the tip pointing down towards Sora’s face as Riku pinned him down.
“Not for one more second…”
Riku said those words calmly as he looked down at Sora’s face before narrowing his eyes and clenching his teeth. “Wasn’t that what you said?!” Riku said as his grip on the male’s shirt tightened. He still remembered the moment they finally defeated Xehanort, the moment in which things were finally turning back to normal. He intended on working together to bring back Kairi, but Sora was adamant about doing it himself. Riku believed in Sora. He believed that Sora’s bond with Kairi was so strong that there was nothing to worry about. In the end’s Sora’s belief was what annoyed Riku immensely. It was just something he couldn’t ignore. “Not one more second!? You couldn’t bear to leave Kairi for a single moment! We respected that! We believed in you! And yet you choose to leave her alone to cope with losing you!? Not even once checking up on her?!” Riku yelled.

Sora shook a bit there was no way he'd let Riku take him back. He wasn't strong enough to face Kiairi yet, clenching his fist he panted alongside Riku. The two were pretty much neck and neck.
Sora watched as Riku rushed forward at him as he went to heal himself, thankfully the boy's energy was restored. Though he was caught off guard by the sudden grabbing of his collar, Riku's Braveheart just inches away from Sora.
"Riku..." Sora responded quietly for just a second. "I'm not strong enough Riku! I've caused everything! Not for one more second am I gonna stay weak!" He twisted the statement. "Because of me, you all died Riku! I had to fix my mistakes... because of me, Kairi..." he stopped himself a tear rolling from his face before he shook his head. "So I'm going to get strong! So I don't mess anything else up!" The battle at the keyblade graveyard really put a toll on Sora, and it was obvious for Riku to see.
Sora took another deep breath, "I can't... I can't see Kairi after what I did..." he looked distressed. "You know how she is! She would never let me go out on my own, it's not safe for her!" He said, squirming, trying to break free from Riku.

It was all pointless... Sora was not getting it through his thick skull, not understanding what his friends really desired. The two were just repeating themselves over and over and Riku had hoped that Sora would have figured it out on his own. It just left Riku completely frustrated about all this. He understood that the battle of the keyblade graveyard was a taxing one, but Sora was wrong about what he was doing. Riku tried his best, but perhaps maybe he wasn’t the one who was able to get through to him. Perhaps she was going to be the one to do just that. Sora tried to break out of his grasp, but Riku wasn’t going to let go until he finished what he had to say. “YOU JUST DON’T GET IT” Riku yelled as his grip tightened on Sora’s shirt. “KAIRI IS STRONGER THAN YOU THINK! WHY DON’T YOU REALIZE THIS?!” Riku said as he stood up and lifted Sora by his shirt. “KAIRI DOESN’T WANT SOMEBODY STRONG, SHE JUST WANTS YOU!” Riku yelled as he released Sora’s shirt and pushed him forward.
“Do not belittle our strength by saying you’re the cause of this all. We all had a part in that battle, we all share that failure. You were not the only one there when Xehanort struck Kairi down” Riku said narrowing his eyes at him. “Do not look down on Kairi, she would never hold you back from following your heart...” Riku said as he turned away and placed his keyblade upon his shoulder as he started to walk. "You're not the Sora I knew, looks like I'm not done searching for him" Riku said calmly. There was no point in bringing back Sora by force. Riku had given up on that objective quite early in the fight, having come to the conclusion that it was pointless. Hopefully Kairi could talk some sense into him.

Sora was just frustrated with this whole thing, he wanted Riku to understand his choice. Sora was scared to see Kairi, seeing how angry Riku was, there was no telling how mad she would be. He loved her, but he didn't wanna hurt her any more than he already has, though avoiding her wasn't helping, however, being with her would only cause more trouble for her. Riku was like a brother, so why couldn't he just support his decision. Sora's eyes locked onto Riku as he shouted one again.
"I know she's strong, I'm not saying she's not! I want to be with her Riku! I want to just... nevermind that..." Sora was shoved by his friend, landing on his rear he sighed looking up at Riku. "I don't think you get it Riku!" He retaliated right back at him. Their arguments normally went this way, with both going back and forth. "Whatever!" Sora would quickly stand up, the boy was able to tell their fight was over. As Riku went to walk off, Sora paused watching him. Sora shook his head, not letting it get to him, turning he himself would run off, back towards the gummy ship, he arrived in. His heart brought him here, but why did he meet Riku?
