Kingdom Hearts: The Legendary 8th Princess of Heart

Chapter 26: The View From Up Here

(Harmony's) POV:

I'm not sure how long we were resting, but we had to get a move on. We still have unfinished business in this world. I even had to use one of the summons, a young fawn named Bambi in order to heal our wounds, as well as help us restore mine, Sora, and Donald's magic, so that we could heal everyone. Once we're all set, we walk around the ship some more and find Wendy, who seems to be unconscious.

"Wendy!" Peter exclaims with worry. "Come on, Tink! Not now!" I'm not sure what it is Tinker Bell was trying to tell Peter, but when he doesn't listen, she flies away with tears in her eyes. Peter then picks up Wendy, holding her like a princess. "Well, this is as far as I can go. I've gotta help Wendy."

"I understand. Do what you've gotta do," I say.

"Thanks. Once I make sure to leave Wendy in a safe spot, I'll come back to help," Peter says.

When Peter flies away with Wendy, the rest of us decide to try to find a way off of this ship. To make sure we don't get lost, we had to have Chibi lead the way out of here, until we finally make it outside. However, we are greeted by an unpleasant crowd.

"Quite a codfish, that Riku--running off with that girl and Maleficent's daughter without even saying goodbye," Captain Hook says, with a large group of Heartless surrounding us.

"Run off where? Tell us, where did they go?" Sora asks.

"To the ruins of Hollow Bastion, where Maleficent resides," Captain Hook answers. "But you won't be going there," before we can figure out what he means, let alone do anything, Hook shows us a lantern, with Tinkerbell locked inside. I let out a gasp, shocked to find her in trouble. "Unless you intend to leave your little pixie friend behind?"

"Tinker Bell!" I exclaim with worry.

"You coward!" Donald yells.

"Hand over the Keyblades and I'll spare your lives. Be glad I'm merciful, unlike the Heartless," Captain Hook says. "So, which will it be? The Keyblades, or the plank?"

I give Tinker Bell a sad look. Even though we haven't known her for long, she helped us, which makes her our friend. I could never choose to risk one my own friends' lives just to save my own skin. So, not sure what else to do, I put my Keyblade away, while the others do the same, lowering their weapons. Before anything else can happen, we hear the sound of something ticking. And I'm not sure why, but Hook's face becomes extremely pale.

"It's him! The crocodile that took me hand!" Captain Hook exclaims in horror as we all look to see a crocodile in the sea, looking up at Hook with a hungry look in its eyes. "Oh, Smee! He's after me other hand! I can't stay here! Go away! Oh, I can't stand the sight of him! Smee, you take care of them!"

Hook then hands Tinker Bell over to Smee, and retreats into his quarters.

"Well, don't any of you care what happens to Tinker Bell? Or will you give me the keys?" Smee asks.

The Heartless somehow separate me from the others, forcing me onto the plank.

"Harmony!" my friends exclaim with worry, while Chibi lets out a sad whine.

"Fly, Harmony! Just believe, and you can do it!" I hear Peter exclaim from somewhere.

Just...believe.
