==Story summary==
==Story summary==
Armed with [[Oathkeeper & Oblivion]] and left with nothing to lose, Roxas goes to free [[Kingdom Hearts]] while evading [[Neoshadow|Neoshadow]]s. [[Riku]], sent by [[DiZ]] to capture Roxas, is nearly defeated by the Keyblade wielder. Riku taps into the power of darkness to subdue Roxas; doing so, however, gives him the appearance of [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness]]. As Roxas loses consciousness, Xion’s voice reassures him that although she is gone and memories of her will fade away, they will live on within Sora’s [[heart]]. Riku takes Roxas to [[DiZ]], who begins the process of altering Roxas's memories.
Roxas must evade the [[Neoshadow]]s that [[Organization XIII]] sent to retrieve him. The renegade then battles Riku, as the dark warrior stands in his way on his quest to free Kingdom Hearts and to reclaim Xion.
 
The next morning, on day 358, Roxas wakes up in [[The Other Twilight Town]], where he remarks that he had another dream about [[Sora]]. He changes clothes and dashes to the Usual Spot, wondering if he can finally be able to go to the beach with his best friends, [[Hayner]], [[Pence]], and [[Olette]].

This is the only mission in Story Mode in which Roxas can Dual-Wield. Being able to cut through Neoshadows like butter, the first group of [[Heartless]] should be no problem to destroy. Defeat the occasional duos of Purebloods that pop up for extra experience, but otherwise evade them and head to [[Memory's Skyscraper]]. Make sure to grab the Mission Badge and Blazon, which are both located in the industrial area after the second group of Neoshadows and before the third group. One is directly up the wall to your right as you enter the gate, the other is just above the platform to your left. Battle the scripted last batch of Neoshadows and prepare for the final battle of the game.

Once the battle with Riku starts, Roxas loses his Dual-Wield ability because Riku is using the [[Oblivion]], leaving you with the [[Oathkeeper]]. Quickly run up to Memory's Skyscraper to obtain the [[Unity Badge]]. Utilizing the [[Glide]] ability, dodge Riku's fast strikes while getting in for a quick combo. Riku can easily be taken down with [[Black Hole]], as well as careful timing of the [[Block]] ability.

Riku can easily be taken down with [[Event Horizon]], as well as careful timing of the [[Block]] ability.


Halfway through the battle, when Riku's health reaches about four bars, he will transform the Oblivion into a sword of light and he can no longer be staggered. His weapon's reach is now longer, making his combos harder to avoid. His [[Dark Aura]] ability will also be used after the transformation. It can be dodged by gliding, or by using [[Dodge Roll]].

If you are playing this battle with the Extreme Ring, [[Aero]] spells are your best bet against Riku. A stock of twenty to thirty Aero spells should allow you to take out Riku's HP, and if you miss with too many Aero spells, you should be able to finish him off with Black Hole. The Neoshadows before the battle should be easy enough to get rid of, but when you fight the swarm, try activating [[Magic Hour]], air-sliding away to allow movement, and then reactivating it after jumping high in the air.

One must be extremely careful during this mission. Even a single swing to the air counts as a missed attack. [[Limit Break]]s can miss without penalty, as they are not standard attacks, but be sure to stop pressing {{button|DSA}} when the Limit ends. Magic is also strongly recommended, particularly spells like [[Thundaga]], which can hit a foe directly, even at a distance. Using Magic attacks only with [[Fire]] and Thundaga at LV5 with plenty of [[Elixir]]s to help restore them can also be a useful tactic as long as both spells have plenty of casts equipped.

It is also recommended to use Magic against the Neoshadows that you fight before facing Riku due to their unpredictability of when they sink back into the ground to avoid attacks.  


However, save your magic for fighting Riku - you'll be forced to use Oathkeeper & Oblivion for the Neoshadows segment just before Riku, and simply pressing {{button|DSA}} once (that is, no additional combo presses) will start a lengthy animation that deals multiple hits of heavy damage to the Neoshadows. Wait until this animation ends, and then press {{button|DSA}} again to initiate it once more without starting a combo. This doesn't count as a miss as long as you score at least one hit per button-press, which is fairly easy given the range and duration of the attack.
If you don't have the resources to take down Riku with purely magic, there are some openings that can be exploited for safe hits. Riku will sometimes block your first combo hit and then put up a shield - you can bait this move by poking Riku with one attack, waiting, and then doing one attack again. Once he puts the shield up, he will stand still for a moment - if you walk around him and hit him in the back, then you can consistently get in a full three-{{button|DSA}}-press combo each time. Once Riku turns Oblivion into a sword of light, getting three hits is less consistent, so go for just two to be safe. This is also a good time to let him damage you into the HP range for your Limit, so you can finish him off. For a good opening to begin your limit, continue to poke him with single hits until his shield goes up again, and hit him in the back.
