In KH1 what was the reason riku used his keyblade on Malifacent?

tu mean in Hollow Bastion? That was a matter of double crossing and betrayal. At least, if I remember it correctly. Riku was possessed por Xehanort's Heartless, so it was actually Xehanort's Heartless who stabbed Maleficent.

It could also be to transform Maleficent into her dragon form to stop Sora, Donald and Goofy for good. I'm not sure though, sorry!

i dont remmeber

Riku was possesed por Ansem and he's a guy that really overloads with the whole power thing.

Simply, he did it so he could unleash her evil power and hatred, turning her into a viscous dragon, so Ansem could stop Sora, Donald and Goofy for good.

That plan failed, big time. :D

to unlock the "True Darkness" in malifacent's heart

I dont know probably to open it to the darkness and give her más power.

First off, Xehanort's Heartless was controling Riku. Second, I'd say the reason he used the keyblade on Malifacent was cause he needed a test subject for it. I mean if tu think about it, any bad guy would use their own allies to get what they want.
