Riku meets with Namine, who explains that she hasn't been doing a good job of keeping her promise to him. Inquiring into what she means, Riku learns that Namine is having trouble restoring Sora's memory due to some of the memories escaping through his Nobody, Roxas, into a third person. This third person, [[Xion]] had no identity beforehand, but the fact she now has a face is proof some of Sora's memories are in her. It would take years to separate the memories belonging to Sora from the ones belonging to Xion and Roxas; [[DiZ]] would be furious about this, so the only reasonable action is to eliminate them both to release the memories.  
Riku meets with Naminé and learns that she is having trouble restoring Sora's memory due to some of the memories escaping through his Nobody, Roxas, and into a third person, [[Xion]]. As it would take years to separate the memories belonging to Sora from the ones belonging to Xion and Roxas, Riku needs to eliminate them both to release the memories.
 
Riku faces off with Xion on the bridge in [[Beast's Castle]]. Knocking her out, Riku removes Xion's hood, curious about what she looks like. Moving his blindfold off one eye to get a good look at her, he becomes shocked by her appearance. Riku interrogates her as to her identity and use of the Keyblade, while Xion demands to know why he's dressed as a member of the Organization. Telling her it's to make sure Sora sleeps in peace, Riku tells Xion that her [[Keyblade]] is a sham. Angered, Xion attempts to retaliate, but Riku gives her a chop to the back of neck, knocking her down. Riku advises her to leave the faithless Organization. When Xion calls him a fake, Riku accepts the comment, denigrating himself for his own mistakes in accepting the darkness. He leaves Xion to scream in anger.


This eventually leads Riku to face off with Xion on the bridge in [[Beast's Castle]]. Knocking her out, Riku removes Xion's hood, curious about what she looks like. Moving his blindfold off one eye to get a good look at her, he becomes shocked by her appearance. Riku interrogates her as to her identity and use of the Keyblade, while Xion demands to know why he's dressed as a member of the Organization. Telling her it's to make sure Sora sleeps in peace, Riku tells Xion that her [[Keyblade]] is a sham - "You can't fight fire with sparks." Angered, Xion attempts to retaliate, but Riku gives her a chop to the back of neck, knocking her down. Riku advises her to leave the Organization, as they're bad news. When Xion calls him a fake, Riku accepts the comment, saying he might just be the biggest nobody of all. He leaves Xion to scream in anger.

Demanding to know why Riku stands in his way, Roxas explains that he is seeking to retrieve his lost friend by freeing Kingdom Hearts, but is angered when Riku responds that Xion's memories are already too far gone to save her. A furious Roxas is initially able to gain the upper hand, but is knocked down just when victory seems in sight. Riku returns the Oblivion to the unconscious Roxas and prepares to transport him, but is surprised when Roxas revives and once again attacks; in response, Riku jostles his sleeping memories by taunting Roxas as he once did Sora, inducing Roxas to respond as Sora would and confirming Riku's suspicions of Roxas: that he is Sora's Nobody. Even more enraged, Roxas slashes at Riku with the Oblivion and it passes on one final memory of Xion, which implore Riku to save Roxas by stopping him.

Left with no other choice, Riku releases the darkness imprisoned in his heart and once again takes on Ansem's form, this time permanently. Riku realizes that if he is to win in the Realm of Darkness, he must submerse himself in the same darkness. He quickly dispatches Roxas, then returns him to DiZ's base at the Old Mansion, where he introduces himself as "Ansem".
