Even If You're In the Deepest Darkness, I'll Be Your Light(Digimon ver.)

Doubts and Lies

My Pov

That's where I saw a boss Heartless. It's main body was a large, magenta blob with glowing yellow eyes and thin, rounded teeth that resemble prison bars. This body rests on a flower-like base that was violet and aquamarine. A much smaller pink head rests on top of the main one. This second head sported a jagged mouth, glowing yellow eyes, two short, dark purple spikes under its mouth, and a curled, magenta antenna on its head. Two long, aquamarine tentacles sprout from either side of the second head and end in violet "hands" with three fingers, each with a dark purple spike on it. Its Heartless emblem was between its eyes. I saw Pinocchio was inside the main body. "Hold on, Pinocchio! I'll get you out." I charged at the Heartless and manage to hit it a couple of times. I didn't pay attention and one of its tentacles wrapped around me and one of the spikes pierced my stomach. I screamed in pain.

"Hikari!" Salamon cried.

"Hikari!" I heard Sora and Riku cried. I felt blood dripping down the lower half of my body. My vision went black soon after.

Riku's Pov

I became enraged. I slashed at the Parasite Cage and actually cut one of its tentacles off. It roared in pain and dropped Hikari. I caught her and cradled her in my arms. She bleeding too much. No, I couldn't lose her. Salamon pushed her paws on Hikari's arm, trying to wake her up. Sora and his friends managed to deal with the Heartless. Sora ran over to me.

"Is she..." Sora asked.

"She bleeding too much." I said.

"Riku, do you know any healing magic?" Sora asked me.

"Yeah, some." I answered.

"Both of us will heal Hikari at the same time." Sora said. I had little choice if I wanted to save Hikari's life." I set her down gently. "We both pointed our Keyblades at her. A green light shone from both of them and then from Hikari. The wound was gone and there wasn't even a scar. The Parasite Cage lifted itself up and spit Pinocchio out. I ran after him.

My Pov

I woke up to the sound of someone calling my name. It was Sora.

"...kari ...Hikari!" Sora cried. I opened my eyes to see a relieved Sora. "You're alright!" He hugged me gently so as not to hurt me. Salamon jumped into my arms and nuzzled me. Sora helped me to my feet and I noticed that Riku, Pinocchio and the Heartless were gone.

"What happened?" I asked.

"The Heartless spit Pinocchio out and Riku went after him." Sora told me. We jumped through the hole in the bowels and followed after Riku. We found ourselves back on Geppetto's boat and saw the man calling out to Riku, who had Pinocchio.

"Pinocchio! Pinocchio! Please! Give me back my son!" Geppetto cried.

"Sorry, old man. I have some unfinished business with this puppet." Riku said.

"He's no puppet! Pinocchio is my little boy!" Geppetto exclaimed.

"He is unusual. Not many puppets have hearts. I'm not sure, but maybe he can help someone who's lost theirs." Riku said. Sora began shocked at this.

"Wait a minute. Are you talking about Kairi?" Sora asked.

"What do you care about her?" He snapped before leaving. Did he not remember what said I to him? We ran after him and came to the stomach.

"Riku! Let Pinocchio go back to his dad! It isn't right for you to separate them." I said.

"A puppet that's lost it's heart to the Heartless... Maybe it holds the key to helping Kairi. How about it, Sora? Let's join forces to save her. You, me and Hikari can do it, together." Riku asked. What Sora did was unexpected. He actually got into a fighting stance, ready to fight his best friend. "What? You'd rather fight me? Over a puppet that has no heart?"

"Heart or no heart, at least he still has a conscience." Sora said. Riku scoffed at this.

"Conscience?" Riku asked. Jiminy hopped out of Sora's hood and ran to Pinocchio.

"You might not hear it, but right now it's loud and clear. And it's telling us your on the wrong side!" Sora exclaimed.

"Then you leave me no choice." Riku said.

"Pinocchio! Pinocchio!" Jiminy cried.

"Jiminy... I'm not gonna make it." That's when a light shrouded Pinocchio. He looked back up and his nose had grown a little. Jiminy told me that when that happened, Pinocchio had told a lie. "Oh! I guess I'm okay!" Pinocchio said happily. While everyone else was relieved Pinocchio was okay, Riku was disappointed. Just then, the same Heartless from before(except much bigger)dropped down out of nowhere. It was harder to fight this thing, but I manage to not get caught. Then Shadow jumped out of the ground and rammed her claws through the Heartless's stomach. Salamon and Veemon both attacked the spot where Shadow had struck the Heartless. A heart emerged from it and the acids of the whale's stomach began bubbling.

"Run!" Donald yelled.

"Riku! Riku, where are you?" I cried. Sora grabbed my hand and we ran back to the gummi ship.

Riku's Pov

I looked over at Kairi. She looked like she was sleeping, but she wasn't.

"So, Kairi's like a lifeless puppet now?" I asked.

"Precisely." Maleficent said.

"And her heart was..." I said, fading off.

"Taken by the Heartless, no doubt." Maleficent said.

"Tell me! What can I do?" I pleaded.

"There are seven maidens of the purest heart. We call them the princesses of heart. Gather them together, and a door will open to the heart of all worlds. It also would lead the way to the Princess of Kingdom Hearts." said Maleficent.

"The Princess of Kingdom Hearts? Wouldn't she be a princess of heart?" I asked. Maleficent shook her head.

"No. The Princess of Kingdom Hearts is much powerful than the seven princesses combined. Her heart is fill with the purest light and deepest darkness. She is also said to be able to create and destroy hearts at will." Maleficent explained.

"Could she recreate Kairi's heart if I found her?" I asked.

"Yes. Now, I'll grant you a marvelous gift. The power to control the Heartless." Maleficent said. I felt dark energy surround me and flow into me. I could feel myself getting stronger. The darkness seeped into Rockruff, Eevee and the rest of my Pokémon. "Also, take this little one with you." Maleficent held out a Dusk Ball and opened it, revealing a Zorua. I turned to Kairi.

"Soon, Kairi. Soon." I said. I would defeat Sora and get Hikari back. I would hurt Sora in the worst way possible. Hikari would be mine and mine alone.
