If things played out differently than they did in 358/2 days would Riku have still been able to allow Sora to awaken? There are two different scenarios that could have happened that could have changed the ending to days.
1. Roxas left the organization along with Xion. Xion however gets taken back by Axel but doesn't end up fighting Roxas afterwards but instead stays with Organization in order to both help find him and keep them from hurting Roxas like they where going to. This would require Riku to not only capture both Roxas but also Xion in order to wake Sora up. Riku would likely be able to take Roxas in this scenario seeing as by this point Xion has absorbed a good amount of Roxas's powers but would he be able to take back Xion? I'm not saying Riku couldn't take her he probably could still even with some of Roxas's power but would he have the heart to erase here existence in order to awaken Sora? It was easy to do it to Roxas because he never knew Roxas personally. Riku could have a bunch of times just taken her to Sora like when she was passed out in Destiny Islands but he didn't and instead gave her the freedom to decide what her fate should be even helping her come to it by showing her the truth about Organization 13.
2. If Xion had succeeded in defeating and absorbing Roxas (even though that's not what she wanted she just wanted to force Roxas to absorb her) would Riku have been able to take her back to Sora than? Not talking about could he mentally bring back Xion but could he by force if he tried? If Xion had absorbed Roxas it was stated she would have turned into a perfect clone of the real Sora under the Organization's control. This would mean she would likely would have had 100% of Sora's power at her disposal. People like to assume (based on fighting skills I think) that Riku is stronger than Sora which I've never understood seeing as it took Riku relying on Ansem Seeker of Darkness's power (a power which wasn't his own) to defeat Roxas who was stated to only posses half of Sora's power. But I'm getting off topic, Do you think if Riku had to take back Xion as a perfect clone of Sora could he if he tried even with Ansem SoD power? If not than what would he have done? Perhaps ask Mickey for help?
Please share your thoughts and opinions on both these what if scenarios.:biggrin:
