Riku stepped out of the shadows. Apparently he wasn't the main priority. But he had to find out what was going on. He started back to the town square taking in the scene ahead. Apparently everyone was here and they were all fighting. skyblade, sora, the keyblade girl and the gunblade wielder were both staring, weapons drawn, at two of those order members. Riku was not sure what they were come to think of it, they certainly didn't seem like the organization and riku had never encountered them before. The one riku had heard referred to as karmine watched riku enter the clearing but then turned back to face sora.

Riku took a step foward but didn't summon his blade. He just kept on staring at the surroundings, scouring the clearing. Then he found it, the girl next to karmine had it. Riku didn't know what it was or what it did but he had a theory that it had given the maniac his power. Riku couldn't let the two get the advantage so he beckoned to the girl. "so, you need an object to fight for you huh?"

She looked over at him with hatred "what do you mean."

"that thing you hold, need it to fight for you?" Riku gave a mock laugh "But i guess it's to be expected from a inexperience fighter."

Karmines eyes widened as he realized what riku was doing. He turned to rai with desperation in his eyes "don't listen to him rai."

but she payed no notice "I could beat you, object or no object." Then she dropped thing she was carrying and ran at riku.

Karmine stared in horror as she charged "NO!" then he ran at riku, he had to get her away from him.
