*Collapses in a puddle of tears* Aaaaaaah, it's done. It's finally done. Now I can... Wait, FOUR video project?! I really said that? D=
This killed me; especially 1;28. That was utter torture...
I hate editing with Sephiroth. DD:
Oh, yeah. xD Cloud is an older Roxas, Aerith an older Kairi, Sephiroth an older Riku, and Zack an older Sora.
This is the story which reaches the third furthest out of the entire project. Sora's, and Roxas', will be continuing after their version of this story, and Kairi... just read the story/watch the video. Please. x3

Anyway, story time; (xD You knew it was coming.)
It's too easy to give into your temptations.
Riku was always jealous of Sora, his best friend. He constantly tried to be stronger, be better than Sora, just to prove his own superiority.
Eventually, Riku decided the only way to permanentely make sure Sora could never beat him, ever again, was to do the one thing Sora would never dare to try.
Riku opened the door to darkness, seeking the power within, but, doing so, he unleased that power against the people living on the island- and Sora was never the same again.
He was constantly slipping in and out of a coma, no matter how much Riku shouted at him to answer him, to wake up and be alright again. Sora was simply too weak to stand up on his own.
Roxas, Sora's brother, wasn't affected as badly by the darkness. It gave him power, too. Riku finally found someone on his level, exactly- Roxas was as badly addicted to the darkness as he was, just as desperate for Sora to wake up.
A girl washed up on the island, unsure of where she had come from. Kairi, she told them her name was.
Roxas and Riku argued over who should be allowed to have Kairi as their girlfriend, (fickle boys, I know. xD) and, in the end, they turned to drink as a way of solving their problems. Along the way, they got into a fight, where Riku ended up stabbing Roxas, injuring him greatly, and gaining him Kairi's sympathy.
One night, drunken and completely wasted, Riku burst in on Roxas and Kairi making out, and announced in an upset rage he was leaving to find a way to fix Sora.
He told Roxas and Kairi where he was going, but, as he started to walk towards the shore, Kairi came after him. Ske kissed him softly on the lips, then watched as he turned and kept walking away. She went back to Roxas.
Years and years past, and Riku's hatred for Roxas grew, his resentment over Kairi, in turn, starting to become hate. Roxas came to find him, and Riku was startled to see not the boy he remembered, but a young man, still looking as though he had not quite grown into his body yet. And Riku realised just how long he had been away from the island.
All the anger, all the hate, returned in that moment. Riku had been, and still was, in love with Kairi, and the idea of leaving her alone with Roxas that long was infuriating.
Then he saw the man Roxas was supporting, half dragging along behind him.
He recognised Sora, but that didn't stop him attacking. He knocked them both aside, and went to stab Roxas. Vaguely, he noticed the scene resembled another, from his memories...
Roxas passed out from the pain, as blood seeped out from underneath him. Not dead, just out of energy. He took Sora back to Kairi, to the islands.
But Riku beat him to it. Kairi knelt on the ground, praying for Roxas and Sora's safe return, and, at the same time, Riku's survival. She didn't see Riku coming down from above her.
Roxas heard the scream, but was too far away; he ran to Kairi, knowing he was too late.
Riku stared down at the body, the scream ringing in his ears. And then it sunk in, exactly what he had done.
Overcome with grief and anger with himself, he turned the sword towards his own body, and stabbed himself twice; once in the heart, and the last time in the stomach. He keeled over, dying on the floor.
End of the road.

Ha, a Riku quote! xD
