[Things have never been smooth between DiZ and Riku. They had the same goal: help Sora wake up. They had to work together - along with Naminé - to make absolutely sure that it would happen. Well, now that Sora is awake, DiZ insists that he has no further need of Naminé. Or Roxas. And it's DiZ's final order that pushes Riku over the edge, to the point that he won't stand for this anymore.

Really. Enough is enough.

It's late. DiZ is... well, Riku doesn't care where he is. He's not here. That's what's important. The selfish old man can't keep him from doing what he should have done all along.

The first thing Riku does is let Naminé go. "Destroy her"? Over his dead body, maybe, though he would find a way from beyond the grave to keep that from happening if he could. He hands her over to Axel, barely has any time in the rush and confusion to reassure her that it will be okay. He hopes that maybe he'll see her again someday. There's a chance, isn't there? Even if he says this is repayment for the favor she did for him in Castle Oblivion, he will always feel like he owes her so much more.

But... that's taken care of. He has one last thing to do before he ditches this awful place.

He makes his way to the dungeon, determination carrying him on every step. But when he hears that comment from afar, arrives to find the Soulless on his knees, he's careful to keep the guilt and sorrow out of his own expression. That won't help anything here, now.

He doesn't waste any time. He finds the card key slot near the barred door, begins adjusting the gears and switches to the proper alignment, each mechanical "click!" indicating another correct adjustment.

I'm getting you out of here. But I don't think we have much time before he comes back.
