==Confronting Riku==
==Confronting Riku==
After Lexaeus dies in his failed attempt to subvert Riku's resistance to darkness, Zexion discusses the Organization's fate with Axel and learns that Larxene has been killed as well, bringing the number of Organization members eliminated to three.  Axel tells him that he himself was defeated by Sora as well, and that Marluxia is almost certainly the next to go.  Zexion decides that with the possibility of Marluxia dying soon, Riku is no longer needed, and heads off to intercept him.
Zexion appears before Riku while he is between floors of the castle, shortly after the death of [[Marluxia]].  As the force of Marluxia's death shakes the castle, Riku halts with surprise and comments how a very strong scent in the air has died.  Zexion materializes in front of him and tells him that [[Sora]] has just defeated Marluxia.  Riku is surprised to learn that Sora is also in the castle, but Zexion tells him he would never be able to face him after having such darkness in his heart.  He gives Riku a [[World Card]] to [[Destiny Islands]], and Riku winds up facing a [[Darkside]] Heartless.  After he defeats it, Zexion reappears, and continues to play on his guilt, telling him Sora will always oppose him as a host of the dark.  Sora then appears himself, brandishing his [[keyblade]] and accusing Riku of being corrupt.  He envelops Riku in light, rendering him unable to do anything.  Instead of drowning Riku into helplessness, however, the predicament causes him to draw on the power of darkness within him to free himself of the oppressing light and strike out at Sora.  He wounds Sora, whose disguise falters to reveal Zexion, who had been using his powers of illusion to deceive Riku.  Zexion, astounded at Riku's ability to wield the darkness so well, vanishes.
After escaping from Riku, Zexion appears in a room, where [[Axel]] and a companion are waiting.  In a panic, Zexion thinks Axel's companion is Riku himself, but then realizes it's only the [[Riku replica|replica]].  Axel and the replica then approach Zexion, and Axel directs the replica's attention to his lack of wholeness.  He tells him that if he can find strength that the real Riku doesn't have, he can become a whole person of his own, rather than a mere puppet or whole copy of Riku.  Axel then tells him that he should start by eliminating Zexion.  Zexion is horrified by Axel's suggestion, and Axel tells him that it would be far more entertaining to watch Riku and Sora than to aid Zexion any longer.  The replica strikes Zexion down, leaving Axel as the only survivor of [[Castle Oblivion]] among the Organization.
