NIGHT 59: M01-M10 HALLWAY
Code Red. Initiate-
The sudden sensation hit Riku hard. Just as he stood up to grab his sword in preparation, the power overwhelmed him and made his knees buckle fast. What was happening? It wasn't right. The feeling of this place had never been this intense before, and the stinging in his leg was still there. That feeling wasn't one he was unfamiliar with. Before, it was a faint stench-always there and unavoidable, but now-now he wasn't so sure. His fingers curled as he drew in sharp breaths and dealt with the overwhelming Darkness of this place. He always thought it was strange, how muted and subdued it was, and now it was like it was right there, swallowng him whole-
Focus.
He blinked through it. After all he'd been through, he couldn't let a little Darkness stop him. But it was strange. Though the pain in his leg remained, mere seconds before that all hit, it was stinging a lot more, and now it was fading. At his fingertips, he felt stronger, at peace with himself. Just beyond, he could feel his keyblade right there. That wasn't normal, because usually, he couldn't summon it unless something was about to stab him. That was what happened last time, anyway.
He looked down at his hands in askance, and thought fast. This place had limitations, but right now-
A smirk covered his lips as he held out his hand, and bright light swirled around it. A moment later, his keyblade appeared. Just like that. "Guess it's not all bad." Whatever happened, he was glad for this place's Darkness, at least for this. It meant he got his power back. It was just too bad he really had to smell this place while he did it. In a way, the intensity would disrupt a lot of his action tonight, but he wasn't someone who would let himself be held back that easily. Riku unsummoned his keyblade and stored away the short sword he won. Things would be a lot easier tonight.
But there was one more thing to check. Riku hesitated, remembering his fatigue from before, and then he cast cure on himself. It wasn't too surprising when he felt fine right after. In fact, he felt invincible.
It probably wasn't good to think that, though. He knew that much. Invincibility could only get him so far, but maybe-maybe "so far" wasn't that bad. Riku grabbed his flashlight and stepped outside.
