I'll Protect You No Matter What(Pokémon ver.)

Father & Son/Port Royal

Riku's Pov

I stood there, dumbstruck at what Yami said. I looked at the baby and noticed he looked like I had when I was a baby.

"Th-that's crazy! How could that be my baby? Me and Hikari-" I said, but stop. That's when I remembered that one moment. The moment when I... raped Hikari. The timing was right. The baby, Tai, was my son. I slumped to the ground holding my face in my hands. Lycanroc placed a paw on my shoulder while Glaceon pawed at my leg. Yami walked over to me and knelt down.

"Riku... I know what you're thinking; that you don't deserve to be near him, but he needs you. Hikari's already seen him." Yami said. She held him out to me. I was nervous at first. Yami showed me how to hold him. Suddenly, Tai reached up, touching my heart and I felt a rush of warm light fill it. I became cloaked in light for a split second. When the light faded, I was back to my original form. I removed my blindfold and got a better look at my son. I held back the tears that began to sting my eyes.

"When I look at you, I see me. But when I look into your eyes, into your heart, I see your mother." I said. I cradled him closely. He gently tugged on a strand of my hair and cooed. I moved him a little so Lycanroc and Glaceon could see him better.

"This is his first time meeting you, but he already knows you." Yami said.

"His name's Tai. That's short for Taiyō, right?" I asked. She nodded. His name meant 'sun'. Hikari couldn't have chosen a better name. I handed my little boy back to Yami and I became Ansem again. I put my hood back on.

"Riku, what if Hikari asks me about you?" Yami asked. I sighed. I wanted her to know I was alright, but I didn't want her to know about the change in my appearance.

"Tell her you've seen me, but don't tell her about my appearance." I said. She nodded. As I went to walk through the corridor, I heard a small squeal. I turned slightly to see Tai trying to reach me. I sadly smiled and walked into the dark portal.

My Pov

We arrive in a dark and murky place. Where were we? This didn't look like any of the worlds we had been to before. I looked toward the ocean to see nothing but that. That's when screams echoed through the air. We all ran near a staircase and looked toward the town that wasn't too far away.

"What's happening over there?" I asked.

"Something's up." Sora said.

"Organization XIII?" Goofy asked.

"Or the Heartless!" Donald said.

"Whatever it is, we have to help those people." I said. We ran to the harbor and saw Pete with several pirates. The leader and Pete left and we were left to deal with rest of them.

"Aw, we only get to stomp on a few of you?" Sora asked. I shuddered a little. Something was off about these guys. There was some kind of evil aura around them. The moment we starting to fight them, I knew that something was wrong with these pirates. Just like with Hades, it felt like there was some kind of barrier around all of them. Then, the moon came out from behind the clouds and the pirates became skeleton-like. I cringed at this horrific sight and Eve coward behind me. That's when I felt the evil aura lessen.

"I think we can beat them now!" I said. And we could. We defeated all of the pirates. Pete ran off to a ship.

"There's bound to be more of them!" Donald said.

"Weren't some of them heading toward town?" Sora asked. We hurried to the town and saw one of the pirates carrying a woman over his shoulder with another man chasing after him. The other man was stopped by the Heartless. We stepped in to protect him.

"Go help your friend!" He ran after the man and woman while we dealt with the Heartless. Afterwards the man came back. "Did you lose sight of them?" I asked.

"Yes, but thanking for helping me. My name is William Turner." the man said. I curtsied.

"Pleasure to meet you Mr. Turner. I'm Hikari and the is Eve." I said.

"*coughs* Princess *coughs*." Sora said. I gently pushed him.

"Princess Hikari." Will bowed in respect. "These are my friends Sora, Raichu, Leafeon, Donald and Goofy." I said.

"Please, I need your help to rescue Miss Swann." Will said.

"Of course!" Sora said. We hurried to the docks just in time to see a ship sailing away.

"We're too late! Those pirates have Miss Swann and now I'll never be able to find her!" Will said. Then we heard a voice. We turned to see a man.

"Then she's long gone. The Black Pearl is nigh uncatchable. Best find yourself another girl, mate." a voice said. We looked to see a pirate sitting on the mast of a ship. He hopped on to a ship.

"You... What are you doing aboard the Interceptor? She's off limits to civilians." Will said.

"Ah, fortunate that I'm going to commander her, then. She'll make a fine pirate ship." the man said. I could feel the excitement and glee radiating from Sora. "Captain Jack Sparrow, if you please."

"Take me with you. Help me hunt down the Black Pearl and save Miss Swann. I got you out of that jail cell, Sparrow. Do this and your debt's repaid." Will said.

"You'll have to win fair lady's heart alone, mate. I see no profit in it for me." Jack said. Typical pirate. Wanting something in exchange for a favor.

"C'mon, Captain!" Sora begged.

"It would be best if you had help. I mean, can you manage this ship on your own?" I asked. Jack seemed to take that into thought.

"You have a point there, lass." Jack said. With that, we board the ship.

"Thank you, Mr. Sparrow." I said.

"CAPTAIN Sparrow." Jack said.

"I'm Will Turner." Will said.

"That would be short for William, I imagine. No doubt name for your father?" Jack asked.

"Yes." Will answered.

"Well then, Mr. Turner. You get us ready to make way." Jack walked over to us. "Don't believe you introduced yourselves." Jack said.

"I'm Sora. Next to me are Raichu and Leafeon. This is Donald and Goofy. That's Hikari and next to her is Eve." Sora said.

"Princess!" Donald corrected.

"Well, I suggest you keep the princess in sight at all times as soon as we sent sail. Barbossa and his crew are more animals than men. They get their hands on her... well, I'm sure you get the idea." Jack said. I gripped Sora's hand. He knew my fear. In fact, being on a pirate ship just made me remember that time.
