"Well that was graceful..." Iris mumbled.

Riku rushed into the room, he looked at Iris with concern "..You okay?" he said as he help Iris up

Iris nodded, "I'm fine. I was just being clumbsy heheh... ^^'"

Riku blushed as he helped her up why am I feeling this again, what is this? "...okay..soo..you wanna spar..?"

"Uh sure." Iris said.

"Well..umm..while you get ready..I'll wait on the beach for you, okay?" replied a blushing Riku.

Iris tried to hide her own blush, "Okay."

Right then Kairi arrives, "Hey Riku!"

"Hey Kairi, where've you been?" replied Riku

"At the beach why? Anything wrong?" Kairi asked.

"Well, umm...you're not going to believe this.." Riku started "..but there is someone new on the island, she says that she is from Twilight Town."

"Let me guesse... She's your girlfriend?" Kairi joked.

Riku blushed more than he had been, "..what?!.."

Kairi laughed. That's when she noticed Iris, "So is this your girlfriend Riku?"

Riku was shocked by this and couldn't find the words to say "I don't know what you're talking about.." he spoke finally as he blushed

"Uh-huh sure..." Kaira said. She then smiled at Iris, "I'm Kairi, a freind of Riku's. What's you're name?"

By now Iris' blush was almost gone,"Iris. Nice to meet you Kairi."

Kairi raised an eyebrow when she noticed Iris was in her Pj's and looked at Riku.

"What?!" Riku said to Kairi "It's not what it looks like, okay?" he said as he blushed.

Kairi grinned, "Then explain to my why she's in her PJs."

"Don't look at me, she came here looking like that.." Riku replied.

"Well it's not my fault. I just uh sorta... appeared in his bedroom...." Iris tried to explained.

"Sora is never going to let you live this one down, Riku." Kairi laughed, "I'll be right back. I'm going to get some real clothes for Iris." She said before running off.

"..yeah, really..by the way..where IS Sora anyways?" Riku replied

"At the beach!" Kairi yelled as she ran out the door.

"Okay, I'll go meet Sora then...see ya Iris!" Riku said as he rushed out the door to meet Sora.

Iris just stood there and blinked, "Um.... Bye???"

"Bye..see you later!" Riku said to Iris "I'll meet you on the beach..with Sora, of course.." *blush*

Iris laughed slightly, "Okay."

"Okay..*blush*" replied Riku There it goes again, but she is so beautiful.. He then ran to the beach, still blushing, to meet Sora.

Sora saw Riku and waved, "Hey Riku! Hey why is your face all red?"

Riku coughed. "No reason. It's pretty hot out here though. You've been out here all day?"

Sora nodded, "Yeah why?"

Riku shook his head. "Doing what? Training?"

Right then Kairi and Iris came over. Iris was in a white tank-top, purple mini skirt, and purple and white sneakers.

Riku and Sora looked over at them. Sora grinned. "Ooh, who's that?"

Riku stomped on Sora's foot. "Yeowch!" Sora yelped.

"Uh..." Riku said, looking at Iris. "You look...different. You look good."

Iris laughed when Riku stomped on Sora's foot. She then smiled slightly, "Thanks.."

Riku smiled a little. Sora, meanwhile, had sat down in the water, holding his foot.

"Geez, Riku, PMS much?" he asked. Riku leaned down, grabbed Sora by the collar and dragged him up. "Hey, Riku!!"

"Go cool off, Sora. You've been out in the sun too long," Riku said, literally throwing Sora into the water, which caused a huge splash.

Both Kairi and Iris busted out laughing.

Sora sat up in the water, a fish flopping around in the hood of his jacket. He was pouting at Riku now.

Riku shrugged, but Sora got up and grabbed the older teenager. "Bath time, Riku!" he yelled, falling backwards and taking Riku with him.

Riku sat up in the water a moment later and waited for Sora to come up. When he did, he dunked the 15-year old in the water. "That's for getting me wet, you punk."

Iris was double over in laughter.

An impish grin was on Kairi's face. She ran over and pushed both boys into the water.

Sora came up in just enough time to see Kairi before he was back underwater. Riku was shoved into the water after him. Sora sat up. "Give me a break, Kairi!" he said, but jumped up and grabbed her by the arms. Riku grabbed her by the legs.

"On three?" Sora asked. Riku nodded. They went out deeper into the water until it was to waists. They counted to three and then flung Kairi into the deep water.

Kairi yelped in surpirse and went down with a huge SPLASH

Iris couldn't resit. When the boys were busy throwing Kairi she duncked them both and quickily ran out so they couldn't get her.

Sora sat up in the water. "Hey!" he yelled. "No fair!"

Riku stood up in the water, his silver hair now down over his face. He shook a bit, then pushed his hair back, but his bangs still came down a bit further over his eyes. He spit some water out. "If you're gonna play, Iris, you come out here and get wet."

Iris grinned, "You'll have to cacth me first!" and ran off.

Sora whispered something to Riku, who waited until Iris was out of sight, then jumped back into the water and swam off underwater.

Iris stopped and raised an eyebrow, "Where did they go?"

Sora came up out of the water, looking at Iris, then Kairi. "Where'd Riku run off?" he asked.

Kairi shrugged.

Iris looked at them both, "He ran off?"

Sora nodded. "Must have. I told him we should splash you, and now he's gone." Sora went underwater, but came up a minute later. "He's not around here."

Iris went over to them, "Well he couldn't of just dissapeared."

Riku came out of the water behind Iris, grabbing her up in his arms quickly. "Gotcha!"

"Gah!!!" Iris yelped trying to escaped.

Riku walked into the water and then threw her into it.

Iris stood up in the water, grabbed Riku's arm, and yank him into the water.

Riku fell back into the water with a splash. He sat up after a minute, his hair over his eyes. He looked at Iris, then Kairi, then Sora. He suddenly started to laugh.

Iris just looked at him, "What's so funny?"

Riku pushed some of his hair out of his eyes. "Here I thought this was just a dull island, after all of the places we've been." Sora sat down in the water next to Riku.

"Nah, Riku, I've missed this place, no matter how dull it is," Sora said. The two smiled, sharing an unknown joke.

Iris wacthed the two for a second then smirked. She whipered somthing to Kairi ,who nodded. They both sneaked up behind the boys and pushed them into the water.

Riku sat up in the water after the girls were done, spitting water out. "Thanks. It was becoming a sappy moment."

Iris grinned, "You're welcome."

"So..why you were dressed like that when you showed up?" Riku asked out of the blue

"Because it was night time at my world." Iris said, "I WAS asleep, then I woke up and..." she sighed.

Riku looked up at her. "What's wrong?"

"It's a long story..."

Sora looked at Iris and smiled "Come on, you can tell us."

"You guys might think I'm crazy..." Iris sighed.

"No we wouldn't." Kairi said, "Besides no one is more crazy then Sora." she joked

"Yeah, can't argue with that." Riku spoke

"Ahh, come on, I'm not THAT crazy." Sora said, trying not to crack up at the comment.

Iris smiled slightly, "Ok I'll tell you." She then told them of the events that happend at Twilight Town, her dreams, Axel, how she came here, everything.

Riku looked at Iris "I'm glad you told us this, let us help you.." he smiled "..besides from the sound of it, you need our help.."

Sora stood up "Axel..is he still around?"

"I last saw him in the Realm of Darkness." Iris said.

Riku and Sora looked at each other "Realm of Darkness?"

Iris nodded and sighed again, "It won't be long before Axel...or Saïx finds out I'm here..."

Sora looked at Iris and said "Don't worry about them..we've defeated them once before..and if we have to, we'll do it again."

Riku smiled at Sora "Yeah, trust him.. he's right more than half the time.

Sora looked at Iris "So if they do find you, we'll protect you" Sora smiled "..besides you are our friend."

Iris smiled, "Thanks."

Sora looked at Iris still smiling "No problem!"

"So, just in case, we may need to get our strength up..so we'll be ready 'em." replied Riku, then walked up to Iris and told her "Don't worry I'll protect you.." he blushed just a little after he said it.

Iris smiled and blushed as well.

Kairi giggled, "Awwwwww. Don't they look cute together Sora?"

Sora laughed "Yeah, they kinda do!"

Riku, still blushing, turned around to face Sora and Kairi "Soo..what do guys want to do right now?

Iris then grinned and turned the tables on Sora and Kairi, "What about you two? Hmmm? Hmmm? You both look happy together."

Sora stared blankly "Well...umm.."

Riku laughed at Sora

Kairi blushed slightly, "Uhhh.... well..."

Iris luaghed, "Well?"

Riku looked at Sora "Yeah, well?" looks at Iris and smiles

"You see..ah man.." Sora replied.

Iris busted out laughing, "You two should see the looks on your faces!"

Riku turned to Iris "Really.." laughs

Kairi pulled a poupu fruit off a tree branch and tossed to Iris, who caught, "For you and Riku." Kairi grinned.

Iris raised an eyebrow, "What's this for?"

"That's a paopu fruit.." Sora explained "..supposedly if you share with someone special, you and that person's destinies become intertwined.."

"Uhhhhh....." Iris started to blush.

Riku looked at Iris holding the fruit, then gave Sora and Kairi a wierd look. "umm.."

"I knew you two'd like that!" Sora smiled.

Iris was still blushing, "Uhhh...umm...hoo boy..."

"..yeah.." Riku replied

"Well? You two gonna eat it or what?" remarked Sora

Iris was blushing even more now.

Riku started to blush even more.

Kairi and Sora bust out laughing.

"Ahh man..." spoke Riku.

"This is just plain mean..." Iris said.

"I agree.." replied Riku

Suddenly someone shouted, "HEADS UP!" then a blitz ball came falling and hit Iris right on the head.

"Ow! X.x" Iris held her head in pain as the blitz ball bounce to the ground, and rolled to her feet.

Riku went up to Iris "You okay?" *helps up*

"Who was that?" Sora replied, turns around "Wakka?"

"Ugh... I'm fine." Iris said. She then picked up the blitz ball, "Okay who threw this!? ><"

"Hey man!" Wakka replied "Sora, Riku, Kairi!"

"Wakka, hey!" Sora replied

Riku looked at Wakka "What were you doing?"

"Me and Tidus were playing a little blitzball" Wakka replied.

Iris looked at Wakka with the blitz ball in hand, "So you threw this!?"

"Yeah! Sorry bout that!" Wakka laughed nervously.

"Well start running then!" Iris, kicked the blitz ball so hard that it went somwhere on the other side of the island.

Wakka looked shocked at the distance Iris had made and said "She's on my team!"

Kairi was wide eyed, "Wow!"

Riku made a face like this O.O' and said "..man.."

"Amazing!" replied a shocked Sora.

Iris looked at them, "What? I didn't kick it that hard."

Everyone looked at each other then at Iris "What?!!"

"I didn't kick it that hard." Iris repeated, "Why are you all staring at me like that?"

"Then if you didn't kick it that hard, then...if you had actually kicked it at your hardest.." replied Riku.

"Then that ball would be long gone." Kairi finished.

Iris shrugged, "I guesse. Why? What's the big deal?"

Sora looked at Iris "You seem to be really strong. Have you ever had any training before?"

"I spar everyday and stuff like that." Iris said with a shrug.

Riku turned to Iris "You wanna spar, then?"

"I thought she was gonna play wit us" remarked Wakka.

Iris shrugged, "Why don't we play... uh what is the game you were playing called, Wakka?" She asked.

"Blitzball" replied Wakka with a smile.

Riku looked at Iris. "The game's pretty simple. You gotta get the ball into the other player's goal. The thing is, it doesn't matter how you get the ball. You can knock a person over, steal it, etc. There's no limit. Of course, we don't like to do a lot of serious damage on this playing field."

"Yeah so no worries." Sora replied

Iris grinned, "Who said I was worried? I'm tougher then you think."

Riku nodded. "So, there's you, Sora, me, Kairi, Wakka, and Tidus. Wakka, you and Kairi will be a team and Tidus, Sora and I will be a team. Sound good?"

Iris nodded, "Okay. Oh uh who's Tidus? O.o"

Riku pointed to the blond-haired boy over where Wakka had come from.

Tidus, meanwhile, couldn't hear what they were saying, but looked a little worried when Riku pointed at him. He slowly waved, looking confused.

Iris smiled at Tidus and waved, "Hiya!"

"huh?" Tidus replied from the distance as he came running to them "Hello. What's your name?" Tidus asked with a smile when he arrived.

"The name's Iris."

"Riku's girlfriend." Kairi added.

Riku was shocked by this and didn't really say anything.

Sora laughed because Riku was starting to blush "Yep, she sure is!"

"I see!" Tidus said as he started to laugh.

Iris blushed like crazy, "We're just freinds!"

Riku looked at them. "Hey, can we just play the game already?" he asked, trying to divert their attention to something else.

Iris nodded, "Yeah please?"

Riku then realized the blitzball was still really far. "Oh...yeah, we need to get that ball back. I'll go. We should get changed, also, into game clothes. I mean, c'mon, Kairi, don't want your skirt to fly up, eh?" he asked, heading off to get the ball.

Sora's eyes widened as he realized that could happen and then blushed.

Iris luaghed slightly, "I think me and Kairi both need to change. See ya boys in a bit." With that the girls ran off.

Riku came back with the blitzball a minute later. Sora just looked at him. "What, Sora?" Riku asked.

"How would you like it if I told you what IRIS would look like in a skirt that has flown up?" Sora asked.

Riku hit Sora with the blitzball. "Come on, let's get in the water." He threw the ball out into the water, then dove in.

The girls returned a few minutes later wearing bikinis. Kairi's was pink and Iris' was black.

Sora and Riku looked at the girls and did an "O.O" look. Tidus and Wakka grinned. "Let's start the games!" Tidus said.

Iris and Kairi nodded and dove into the water.

Riku and Sora followed the girls in while Tidus dove further out into the water. He swam down to the bottom where the ball lay and picked it up, going back to the surface.

Wakka grinned and jumped into the water from the dock, doing a cannonball.

Iris laughed, "Let's get started already!"

Wakka grinned. "Alright, rules are simple, yah? We flip a coin, and whoever wins gets possession of the ball first. Alright, Sora, Kairi, pick!" he said, tossing the coin into the air.

Kairi said, "Tails!"

Wakka caught the coin. "It's tails. Kairi gets first ball."

Kairi grinned and took the ball.

Sora grinned, looking at Kairi. "Try to get past me!"

Kairi made a move as if to past him, but passed the ball to Iris at the last second, who cuaght it.

Riku jumped at Iris as she caught the ball.

Iris pushed Riku away with her legs and went passed him.

Sora swam after Iris quickly, grabbing her ankle.

Kairi rammed into Sora causing him to let go.

Sora fell off of Iris, but he grabbed Kairi tickled her.

Kairi sqiurmed and wriggled trying to get away.

While Sora was busy doing that Iris had made a goal.

Tidus groaned. "Come on, guys!"

Riku grabbed the ball, swimming towards the other goal. Wakka got in front of him, but Riku easily swam under him, kicking his back.

Iris swam infront of Riku, blocking his path.

Riku looked at Iris and smiled. He swam upwards, throwing the ball to Sora, who was just behind Iris. He tossed it up and kicked it with all of his strength, sending it straight into the goal.

Iris gave Riku a playful glare and shoved him playfuly.

Kairi got the ball and swan right passed them.

Sora came up behind Kairi, poking her playfully in the sides.

"Hey!" Kairi laughed before throwing the ball at Iris.

Iris jumped over Riku and caught it. She pushed on Riku's back with her legs giving herself a slight boost of speed.

Riku swam after her, practically catching up to her. He got in front of her, grinning. He had an idea.....and it was a long shot....He quickly closed the gap between him and Iris and kissed her on the lips.

Iris made a face like this O.O and froze.

Riku took the ball from her and threw it to Sora. Sora swam past them until he was met with Kairi, and he tossed the ball to Tidus. Tidus did and backwards flip, then a kick, and kicked the ball into Wakka who flew back into the goal.

Iris was still floating there still shocked at what Riku did.

Kairi looked at Riku, "That was mean Riku."

Riku sort of half smiled.

"You do know she 'likes' you right?" Kairi asked, "And you just used that against her. That was low."

Riku leaned into Kairi. "Who says I kissed her to distract her? Who says I don't like her?"

Kairi rolled hr eyes, "Tell Iris you like her then."

"Only if you and Sora eat a paupu together, and not just draw one on the cave," Riku replied.

Kairi was wide eyed, "You saw that!?"

"Who hasn't seen it?" Riku asked.

Kairi blushed slightly then said, "Fine. If Sora I share a paupu then you and Iris have to."

Riku nodded. "Only if Iris agrees to share one with me. If not, I'll still tell her that I care."

Everyone heard their conversation and made a face like this O.o then Tidus and Wakka busted out laughing.

Riku walked over to Wakka, Sora to Tidus. They grabbed the two blitzball fiends and dunked them under the water.

Riku walked over to Iris. "Iris...I.."

"What the hell are you doing?!?!" a voice yelled. Axel appeared on the beach, looking really pissed.

Iris gasped, "A-Axel!?" She quickly went over to Riku, standing close beside him.

Axel walked up to Riku, but soon stopped when Riku drew his keyblade. "Iris, I've been looking EVERYWHERE for you! I even had to go back to the Organization's headquarters to make sure you weren't there!! Do you know how worried I've been for you?!" he asked. He looked at Riku. "Oh, hey, it's you."

Riku raised an eyebrow. "YOU'VE been worried for her?! You practically beat the living crap out of her trying to take her to your world!"

Axel looked at Iris. "Look, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you or scare you or anything. I just wanted you to be safe!"

Sora drew his own keyblade. "Get out of here, Axel, or we'll make you leave!"

Iris glared at Axel, "Sorry? Sorry dosn't make up for what you did! You took me from my home, freinds and family against my will!"

Axel looked at her. "Your friends? Family? THEY DON'T EXIST!! Everything you know are just memories and images placed in your mind to make you stay away from the Organization, away from the truth. This place, this island, this is the only thing you have that is REAL! Go ahead, go back to your home....they won't know you, they won't recognize you, they won't even SEE you."

"Shut up!" Iris yelled. Her eyes began to glow dark blue. Her keyblade appeared in her hand.

Riku looked back at Iris and saw her keyblade. "Another keyblade weilder?"

Axel's shoulders slumped. "You want to beat me up, go ahead. Look, I wanted to make sure that you didn't get hurt by the Organization like Roxas was, that's all. If you want to rip me apart for that, then go ahead."

Iris charged at him her weapon ready.

Axel stood there, waiting for the blow.

Iris stopped when she was less then a foot from him. She wanted to attack him, to make him pay, but somthing was stopping her from doing it.

"Go ahead, Iris, let him pay," a voice called out. A dark portal opened on top of one of the trees, and there stood Saix. "He deserves to die for what he did to you."

Sora looked up. "You?!"

"We killed you!" Riku yelled. "Why won't you STAY DEAD?!"

The black keyblade shook in Iris' hand. She was trying hard to resist the urge to strike Axel.

"Leave her alone!" Axel yelled. "Let her make her own decisions. If she wants to kill me, let it be her decision, AND NOT YOUR MANIPULATIONS!!"

Saix laughed. "Poor pitiful Axel. All alone after Roxas left him. Everyone leaves poor Axel. Why? Because he's weak. He's not really worth the time, is he, Iris? Go ahead and kill him. You know you want to."

Riku turned to Iris. "If you want to kill him, do it because YOU want to, not because Saix said so. You can do it, Iris, I know you can."

Iris looked as is she was going to strike Axel but turned and threw her keyblade at Saix, "SHUT UP SAIX!"

Saix was surprised by the attack and was hit, stumbling back. Iris' keyblade came back to her.

Axel looked at Iris and smiled. "Come on, let's kick his ass."

Riku looked at Axel. "Sora and I want a piece of him too."

Sora nodded. "Yep!"

Iris jumped onto the tree Saix was one. She attack him, "Die bastard!"

Riku jumped after her and swiped at Saix. Saix dodged both of their attacks and his weapon appeared. He swung it around quickly at both of them.

Axel and Sora ran up to the tree. Sora jumped onto Axel's hands, and Axel tossed him directly at Saix. Sora fired a water blast that Donald taught him at Saix.

Iris ducked when Saix attack and then foot her swept his legs from under him.

Saix fell back, righting himself with his hands. He jumped onto another tree, only to find Riku and Sora there. Riku grabbed Sora's arm and threw him into Saix. Sora slashed Saix across the chest, causing him to fall off the tree. Axel took his disks and jumped into the air, hitting Saix several times with them. He then kicked Saix back up into the trees.

Riku jumped forward, stabbing his keyblade into Saix. He then kicked Saix over to Iris.

Lighting plused through Iris' keyblade. She stirked Saix with a her might sending him into a rock-wall.

Saix slammed into the wall, then disappeared slowly, his darkness beginning to drain from him. "Just you wait....the others will follow and destroy you all..." he said with a grin before he finally disappeared.

Riku looked at Iris. "Nice job."

"Thanks. You guys did great too." Iris said with a slight smile.

Sora grinned and put a hand behind his head. "Thanks. We're used to fighting."

"But your form was rusty." A voice called out. A portal opened up and out a hooded figure of a girl, "You can fight better then that."

"Who're you?" Axel asked.

The girl chuckled and removed her hood. She had short silver hair and preicing yellow eyes, "Remember me now?"

Axel looked at her. "...It's you...Why're you here?"

"You mean you don't know? I'm the Leader of the New Organization XIII."

Iris looked at the girl for a second and her eyes widen, "Pai...?"

Pai looked at Iris, "Long time no see old freind."

Axel looked at Iris. "You...you remember her?" he asked.

Iris shook her head, "I remember her name but that's about it."

Axel turned back to Pai. "Stay away from Iris or I'll rip you apart."

Pai grinned, "Fine but it doesn't mean my other followers don't have to."

Axel's hands lit on fire, his anger growing.

"We'll take them down too," Riku said, standing beside Iris.

"I'm not so sure if you want to fight my next follower thought." Pai said with a grin, "He's most feared in the old and new Organization." She looked at Axel, "You know who I'm talking about, Axel."

Axel paled. "It can't be....I thought he was gone, disappeared or dead!" he said.

Pai smirked, "No he's alive and now here."

A dark portal ripped open behind them. A second hooded figure appeared. "........." He reached out and grabbed Kairi by the shoulder.

"Gah! Hey let me go!" Kairi yelled.

The man only made a low chuckle at her weak attempts to get free.

"KAIRI!" Sora yelled. He ran towards the man, not knowing how strong he is, and slashed him with his Keyblade.

"Roxas, NO!" Axel shouted.

The man caught the keyblade in mid moving with his other hand in an iron grip, "Stupid boy." He hissed his red piercing eyes glaring down at Sora.

Sora pulled back on the keyblade, trying to free it from the man's grasp.

Riku looked over at Sora. "Sora, get out of there!"

Sora let go of the keyblade and jumped back. The keyblade disappeared from the man's hands and reappeared in Sora's.

The man tossed Kairi in the portal and it closed, "Hope you won't miss her too much." He said to Sora coldly.

Iris looked over at Axel, "Who is he?"

"KAIRI!!" Sora yelled, running towards where the portal was quickly.

"He's Smoke," Axel said. "He's the strongest member of the Organization, and the most feared. He can't be beaten."

Smoke quickly caught Sora by the arm and threw him down hard, "Don't even try it..."

Pai grinned, "Well have fun kids. I have some business to tend to."

Sora looked up at Pai. "BRING HER BACK!" he yelled.

"I didn't take her. Smoke did. You'll have to take up with him." Pai said with a shrug.

Sora looked back up at Smoke and stood. "Give her back!"

"Uhm....Sora....you'd better get away from him..." Axel said.

"You want to kill me?" Smoke asked in amusment, "Go ahead. Try."

"That's fine by ME!!" Riku snapped out as he rushed Smoke with his blade in hand

Smoke cuaght Riku by the troat and threw him into a plam tree.

"RIKU!" Iris quickly ran to his side.

Smoke chuckled and glaced at Sora, "You're next?"

Iris kneeled beside Riku, "Riku, are you okay!?"

Riku looked at Iris "Yeah, I'm...okay..ugh.." then looks to Smoke "..ugh..is that..all ya got?"

Smoke advanced toward Riku, but Iris stood infront of him, "Leave Riku along, you BASTARD!"

Iris.. "Iris, you don't have to defend me.." Riku said exhaustively.

"I'm not about to let this guy rip you to sherds!" Iris said as took out her keyblade.

Sora ran over with his keyblade in hand and join Iris. Smoke already had taken Kairi, he wasn't going to let him take his best friend.

Riku also stood, taking out his keyblade once more. "Alright...let's take him."

"This will be intresting..." Smoke said with chuckle. He approuched them. Dark energy formed in his hands.

Riku ran at Smoke, jumping into the air and slashing down at him with his keyblade.

Smoke cuaght Riku's keyblade and shot the dark engery into his stomach.

"What is this power?!" Riku said exhaustively He's stronger than I'd imagined..but I must..protect Iris..

"Riku!" Iris glared at Smoke, "You leave us alone!" She growled. Her eyes began glowed a faint blue.

Sora jumped backwards and threw his keyblade at Smoke.

Riku got up slowly, holding his stomach. "There's...gotta be a way to beat this guy."

Axel's disks became engulfed in his trademark flame, and he threw them angrily at Smoke.

Smoke took off his chain and glared at Axel, "Big mistake." He advanced toward him.

Axel backed off a bit, catching his disks. His fire surged once more as he smirked at Smoke. "Come on, buddy." He looked back at Iris. "Come on, Ir, get angry! This guy's gonna KILL us!"

"Axel! You're not gonna handle this alone!" Riku prepared his keyblade "Right Sora?!"

"Right!" Sora readies his keyblade.

Smoke chuckled, "You? Stop me? Humph. You couldn't even save the one you loved." Smoke sneered at Sora.

Sora growled, jumping at him. He slashed at Smoke, only to see his keyblade go directly through him.

As Sora was gaping at Smoke, Axel ran over and pulled Sora out of the way of Smoke. There was no way he was going to lose Roxas again, even if Sora wasn't him.

Suddenly dark clouds covered the sky. Thunder could be heard, and lighting soon followed. Now Iris was pissed.

Sora looked up at the sky, "What's happing!?" He yelled over the thunder.

Riku looked to the sky as well "You tell me!.." he looked at Axel "..What is going on?!"

Axel looked at him with a small smile. "Iris is angry now."

Riku looked over to Iris and whispered to himself Iris.. "Axel what'll happen now?!" Riku yelled to Axel.

Axel smiled. "Just watch."

Iris..what happening to you?! Riku thought to himself in worry.

lighting striked near Smoke and the wind started to pick up, "Go away..." Iris grolwed.

Smoked backed away and hissed. He ripped open a portal and lefted.

Riku ran to Iris "Iris!"

Iris fell to her knees. She was losing control of her power.

When Riku reached Iris he hugged her tightly "Iris!"

"Riku, I can't make it stop..." Iris whimpered.

"Maybe you can't alone! But WE can together!!" Riku's body began to glow and the thunder began to calm

Iris hugged Riku tightly. Tears rolled down her face.

In a flash of light from Riku's body the storm had calmed "..Iris..it's over now.." he said as he slowly began to faint.
