Eventually, Riku manages to escape, but is confused as to why Sora was able to regain the Keyblade. A [[Xehanort's Heartless|mysterious voice]] somehow contacts him from the Darkness, telling him that only one with a stronger heart can claim the Keyblade, and Riku himself was weaker than Sora.  However, the mysterious voice, now slowly taking a shape, presents Riku with an offer he can not resist, a Keyblade of his own.  Under the influence of jealousy and rage, Riku agrees to become one with the Darkness, only to become possessed by the mysterious voice itself.

The new Riku then presents himslef to Maleficent and warns her of the dangers of unlocking the Final Keyhole. When she claims not to be afriad, Riku shows a new, dark Keyblade created with six of the seven princesses of heart's hearts. However, it doesn't react to the keyhole. Realizing it is still needing Kairi's heart to be complete, Maleficent heads off to handle Sora and co. After Maleficent is defeated by Sora, Riku appears with his Keyblade and explains that unlike Sora's Keyblade, this Keyblade possesses the ability to unlock a person's heart, and Riku demonstrates this by piercing Maleficent's chest, allowing the immense darkness that is attracted to her to overtake her heart, transforming her into a giant dragon.  While this form proved a far deadlier enemy to Sora and his friends, it still defeated and killed.

Riku, calling himself Ansem, the Seeker of Darkness, later confronts and battles Sora (who is cut off from Donald and Goofy) at the Final Keyhole. He hopes to release Kairi's heart from within Sora's, so that she, being the final [[Princess of Heart]] can open the Keyhole. He fails, but Sora impales himself anyway to save Kairi.  With Sora gone, Xehonart's Heartless attacks Kairi, Donald, and Goofy, but they are saved by Riku, who is using the last of his strength to hold the dark powers of his possessor off.
