Bright blue waves crashed upon sand, creating a soothing melody with each sound. Sea gulls could be heard cawing in the distance as they dove in and out of the water in attempts to catch fish. Palm trees littered the place, creating massive shadows as the sun began to set. An old wooden shack was the only building on this side of the island, setting itself apart from the sandy shores and bright green plants.
As lovely as this place was though, all was not well. No, revenge was being sought after this day; revenge that had been waiting for many a day. Though, since this entity was a Nobody, it couldn't feel hatred or desire, it was acting out of instinct. The waves reverberated the feeling that something was amiss. Oh, how right that feeling was.
A dark portal opened up as a figure wearing the all-too familiar Organization XIII coat stepped from it. Zexion's long silver hair fell over his right eye as always. The Cloaked Schemer's expression was locked in a bitter frown to show what emotion he would have if he could feel. It was more of a reflex than something the Nobody chose to do.
Regardless, Zexion had matters to attend to... and a keybearer to exact his revenge upon. "Riku... you will pay for what you did to me..." the cloaked schemer muttered. "Now, how to go about this... Hm... I think I'll have some fun with him before I destroy him..." With that, Zexion began to glow a strange white color that emanated a blinding light.
When the light faded, the Cloaked Schemer was nowhere to be seen... or so it seemed. 'Sora' stood in his place. Not the real Sora of course, but Zexion had disguised himself as the keyblade master. "This is more like it," the Nobody decided with a grin. His voice and appearance were now just Like Sora's. Now to find Riku...

'Sora' nearly fell over as a voice suddenly filled his ears; the voice of the very entity he'd been searching for. Slowly, Zexion turned around to face Riku, making that same cheesy grin Sora always allowed to grace his face. "Oh, just picking up the slack," the Cloaked Schemer lied convincingly. "I'm always goofing off and sticking you with my work, but I... felt kinda bad about it... so here I am," the Nobody in disguise explained, trying to be as convincing as possible.
Oh, how hard it was for Zexion to restrain himself from attacking Riku right here and now. VI would have hated Riku to no extent if he could feel emotion. The Superior still mocked him for the shameful defeat at Riku's memory of Destiny Islands. This boy had also eliminated Lexaeus once before... that fact alone was enough reason, as Zexion realized, not to attack... yet. Then that blasted Replica and Axel... oh, how Axel would pay!
No matter. Zexion was alive again, and had another chance. Now he could do things differently. Now he could eliminate Riku, if his plans succeeded. The Cloaked Schemer just had to play it cool. Then, Zexion had to think quickly, for Riku was walking away. "Riku, wait! Let me help!" 'Sora' exclaimed, running after the keybearer.

'Sora' listened intently, and to help his disguise, even laughed at Riku's suggestion he was delusional. "Aw, c'mon Riku, you know me better than that," Zexion joked, assuming Sora would act the same in the situation. Now the Cloaked Schemer merely needed to make sure they were alone, and... wait... what? A race!? No, no, no! Zexion could never keep up with Riku in Sora's clumsy form!
Not seeing another choice though, 'Sora' smiled and gave chase, running very clumsily. Zexion even tripped once or twice. The Nobody was just thankful it didn't cause him to lose his disguise. "Alright, enough of a race, Riku. You're obviously winning," he shouted with a humiliated look on his face. "How about we spar with the keyblades?" Zexion suggested, hoping to get Riku's interest.

'Sora' eagerly readied himself into a battle stance, summoning a pseudo keyblade. It was the standard Kingdom Key, almost completely resembling a simple key with a chain on the end. The long silver blade and bright gold hilt glimmered brightly in the sunlight. "Sounds good to me," 'Sora' replied cockily to the silver haired keybearer.
Zexion slowly studied Riku, wondering if he should initiate the battle or wait for the silver-haired youth to strike first. Riku had a very arrogant smirk upon his face, indicating that he was certain he'd obtain victory. "Here goes nothing!" 'Sora' said, leaping into Sora's traditional combinations. A vertical slice, a thrust, and then a spin slash... maybe something different here and there, perhaps an occassional leaping slash.

Things weren't going in 'Sora's' favor. Riku was incredibly fast, and the pseudo blond's movements were incredibly sluggish. Then, before he knew it, the silver-haired keybearer brought down a playful blow on the back of his head. That was all it took to surprise the Cloaked Schemer enough to drop his guise. "Wha-!?" the now revealed Zexion muttered in surprise, rolling forwards as he nearly hit the ground, but rose to his feet.
Now that the silver-haired Nobody was revealed before Riku, his Organization XIII jacket blew in the wind. The Cloaked Schemer's hand had been forced. A fearsome scowl ran across Zexion's face as he glared at Riku, thinking of what to do next. "Well, it's certainly been a while, hasn't it Riku?" the Nobody questioned. "You seem to be doing well... Though it would appear you're still the third-wheel," he taunted with malice.

Zexion merely laughed at Riku's response. "Still so fiery... One day your temper's going to be the death of you, Riku. Or perhaps it will make you return your heart to 'Ansem?' Bah. Things aren't the same as last time. You didn't kill me last time, but you gave the ones responsible for it the leeway they needed. Or, I guess in a way, you did kill me. That blasted Replica of you did me in under Axel's orders. You though... No one shames me as you did!" the Cloaked Schemer declared, waving a hand in front of him.
In synchronization of the swift motion, a barrier appeared in front of Zexion. On the opposite side, facing Riku, a group of Dusks appeared, staring down the keyblade wielder. "Have fun Riku. I'll make sure to tell Kairi you said hi," Zexion taunted, dissapearing in a flash of dark energy. True, he wasn't going after Kairi, but the angrier he made Riku, the more tempting it would be for the boy to use the darkness. That was what the Schemer truly aimed for.

Rather than waste time tracking Kairi down, Zexion simply warped atop a cliff, overlooking the beach. Every time Riku defeated a group of Dusks, Zexion simply summoned more just to antagonize the keybearer. Yes... that was it. Zexion would wait until the youth was worn down before he struck. For now, the Cloaked Schemer stood back, biding his time. Perhaps if luck allowed, Kairi would come to him, but the Nobody highly doubted it. Instead, Zexion just sat back, watching in amusement as the Dusks bobbed and weaved this way and that, circling Riku.
