Also, since this is Hikari's POV, Eraqus is being called 'daddy', since she's 5.

My Pov

We went outside and I saw Ven. I let go of my dad and ran to Ven. Lovie ran to Jolteon

"Ven, you're home!" I exclaimed. I hugged his legs. He patted me on the back. Lovie nuzzled Jolteon.

"Ventus, you're alone? I thought Aqua would— Well, what matters now is that you're home. You don't belong in the outside world yet. You need to stay here where you can learn—" Ven cut my daddy off.

"In your prison?" Ven asked.

"What?" Daddy asked. What did Ven mean by 'prison'?

"That's your excuse...for keeping me imprisoned here, isn't it?" Ven asked.

"Jolt..." Jolteon whimpered.

"What did you hear?" Daddy asked.

"That I'm suppose to be some kind of weapon... Some kind of... 'X-blade'!" Ven exclaimed. Daddy touched the scars on his face.

"I knew it. Xehanort―he could never let it go. I failed. I had the chance to stop him and couldn't do it. But I will not fail again." He summoned his Keyblade, Master's Defender, and pointed it at Ven.

"Master! What are you..." Ven said.

"Daddy... why are you..." I asked.

"What? Master, Hikari's your daughter!?" Ven asked.

"Yes. Which is why I must protect her from all danger. The χ-blade has no place in this or any world. Xehanort has made his purpose clear... and I am left with no choice." What was he going to do? "Forgive me... but you must exist no more." he said. Light began forming around his Keyblade. Chains of light shot toward Ven. I ran in front of Ven and shielded him.

"NO!" I screamed.

"Hikari!" I heard a voice yell. I opened my eyes to see Terra and Flareon had saved us. My dad was shocked. "Master, have you gone mad?" Terra asked.

"Terra! I command you―step aside!" Daddy demanded.

"No!" Terra yelled.

"You will not heed your Master?" Daddy asked.

"I won't!" Terra exclaimed.

"Why do all my attempts to reach you fail? If you don't have it in your heart to obey... then you will have to share Ventus's fate." Daddy said. Was he actually serious about this!? Why did he have to destroy Ven? Van swore to me he won't create this X-blade. Both my dad and Terra's Keyblades clashed together. Ven held me close to his chest, trying to keep me from looking.

"Enough, Terra! He's right..." Ven begged.

"Jolte!" Jolteon cried.

"Please, stop!" I screamed.

"Vui!" Eve screamed.

"Quiet!" Terra snapped.

"Flare!" Flareon snapped. They never snapped like that before.

"Terra..." Ven said. My dad knocked Terra's Keyblade down and sent a large ball of light toward us. Something in me changed. I felt something different. Black energy formed around my hand. I jumped in front of Terra and created a Dark Barrier.

"Hikari..." Terra said, shocked. I collapsed to my knees.

"Shiro had been right about you, Hikari. You truly are the Princess of Kingdom Hearts..." Daddy said.

"WHAT!?" Terra and Ven exclaimed. They didn't have time to think about. My dad attacked again. This time, both me, Lovie, Ven and Jolteon were hit. Ven and Jolteon were knocked unconscious while me and Lovie were somewhat injured. Terra picked us up off the ground. He had his hand wrapped around Ven's waist while I had my arms wrapped around Terra's neck.

"You may be my Master. But I will not...let you hurt my friend or my little sister!" Terra said.

"Has the darkness taken you, Terra?" Daddy asked him. Terra summoned a portal and threw Ven and Jolteon into it.

"Wait, Terra!" Ven called. The portal closed. Terra tried to get me off him, but held on to him. I didn't want him and my dad to fight. I didn't want them to hurt each other.

"We're staying right here, Terra!" I exclaimed.

"Alright, but stay right behind me!" The sight of seeing my dad and my brother fighting, it was breaking my heart. I couldn't bear it. Terra defeated my dad. He was shocked and regretted what he had done. "What have I done... Master... I just.. wanted to keep Ven and Hikari safe." Terra said. I ran to my dad and wrapped on arms around him.

"No, you were right. I failed you, Terra. Perhaps I've no one to blame but myself for the darkness inside you. And now, I've done worse... raised my Keyblade against you, Ventus and my own daughter. Hikari, please know that I do love you. Just as I loved your mother and your sister and never meant to hurt you. And yet, I've only done harm to you. My own heart is darkness!" Daddy exclaimed. My dad suddenly jolted upward.

"Daddy?" I asked, wondering what happened. He dropped his Keyblade fell forward. Terra and I held him before he evaporated into orbs of light. Terra fell onto his hands and knees in tears.

"Master Eraqus!" Terra cried.

Terra's Pov

"Daddy..." I heard Hikari whimper. Master Eraqus was Hikari's father... and I attacked him in front of her. Eve went over to her and tried to comfort her. Flareon came to me and try to do the same.

"What a sight. Why do you trouble yourself with remorse, Master Terra? The man was bent on doing harm to your friend and sister, his own pupil and his own child!" I looked at Master Xehanort. He had done it. Both Flareon and Eve started growling and hissing.

"Master Xehanort, why?" I asked.

"How dare you! It's bad enough you took my mom and sister from me, but now you had to take my dad from me, too!? You heartless monster!" Hikari screamed. Xehanort raised his hand and slapped Hikari across the face. She fell to the ground, holding her cheek. Lovie ran to her, frightened.

"Watch your mouth, you poor excuse of a princess." Xehanort scoffed.

"Hikari! How dare you!" I shouted.

"Flareon! Flare!" Flareon barked.

"You know, at times I find your progress quite striking. But you still fall short. Let all that anger out, my boy. Give your heart over to darkness!" Xehanort exclaimed.

"What do you mean?" I demanded. My Keyblade appeared in my hand.

"Still so blind... Then I will make you see. Come to the place where all Keyblade wielders leave their mark on fate—the Keyblade Graveyard!" His Keyblade appeared in his hand. "There you will watch your dear Ventus and Aqua meet their ends, and the last light within you will die!" Xehanort exclaimed. He raise his Keyblade into the air and shot a dark orb into the sky. It grew into a giant sphere that began breaking our home apart. "You won't need a home anymore where you're going!"

"What?" Xehanort walked into the Dark Corridor and disappeared. "Xehanort!" I yelled.

"Terra, I'm scared!" Hikari yelled. I lifted Hikari into my arms. She buried her face into my chest, not wanting to see our home being swallowed. I placed my hand on her head to keep her from seeing this. The ground underneath us started breaking away. I returned Flareon and Hikari returned Lovie.

"Hikari, I'm sorry for making you see all this..." I said. She looked at me, eyes overflowing with tears.

"Terra, you didn't do any of this. Xehanort did. I love you too much to ever hate you." Hikari said. Amazingly, I laughed a little.

"I love you too, kiddo." I said. I took out my Wayfinder. "Hikari, Ven, Aqua... I won't let him hurt you guys anymore." I summoned my armor and my glider. I took to the skies, with Hikari clinging on to my waist. I looked back at the crumbled remains of our home. Xehanort will pay for this.
