Spike looked at his father's face, his eyes were different to how Spike had remembered them.
"Dad?" Spike said quietly, "But you're dead"
"Yes, I am." He replied, "But that does not mean I do not exist any more"
"Spike," Hikari said, "This isn't your father, I've heard about"
Hikari was cut short in his speech by a ball of darkness thrown by the man, pushing Hikari to the floor.
"You trust a Heartless now, son?" The man with his father's face said, "After everything they did to this place"
"He's different. He has light in him." Spike said, looking at his fathers laughing face.
"You think that truly makes any difference?" His father's voice said, "A Heartless is a Heartless, they're all the same, they just take all our hearts and turn us in to one of them"
Spike was silent for a while, thinking about the words his father's voice had just told him.
"You know it deep down." His father said, "Now… you know what must be done"
His father moved towards Spike, he put his hand on his should and whispered in his ear "Kill him"
Spike's eyes moved toward Hikari, still laying on the floor from the ball that Spike's father had thrown at him.
"It's not him, Spike." Hikari muttered, watching Spike pick up his Keyblade and approach him. Spike lifted his Keyblade up, pointing down at Hikari, ready to plunge it into him. Spike pushed the Keyblade down at Hikari who rolled out of the way and kicked Spike to the floor.
"You bastard, you tricked him." Hikari said to Spike's father, "You'll pay"
"And how exactly are you going to do that?" Spike's father said as Hikari drew his pistols, "With that"
"No," Hikari said, moving his glance to Spike on the floor, "With that"
Hikari began shooting at Spike's father, he shot the zipper on his jacket, pushing it down and showing his body. It was complete darkness.
"See, Spike. This isn't your father." Hikari said, "It's a Heartless"
Spike looked in confusion at the man with his father's face, then at Hikari as if looking for forgiveness.
Hikari nodded at Spike and said, "Or rather, he's THE Heartless"
"What do you mean?" Spike asked, confused.
"This is the original Heartless, the original darkness, Belmin." Hikari said, "He can take the form of any person who has been taken by the darkness"
"Look's like I have a fan club." Belmin said, morphing his face in to it's original shape. His face was now more Heartless-like, it had huge yellow eyes and large antennae, but also had some human features like jaw bones and a nose.
"Not exactly." Hikari said, putting his guns to his side.
"I was getting bored of the pretending anyway," Belmin said, zipping his jacket up "I think I'll kill both of you now"
Spike stood up, Keyblade in hand.
Belmin continued as Spike leapt at him "Just like I killed your father."
"Whew, that was wild." Pedro said, "Let's hope they can find a way back. I'm outta here"
"You sure about that?" His lieutenant said, pointing out of the cockpit window.
There were three airships in their path, made of complete darkness. They were some deformed kind of Heartless as could be seen from the yellow eyes on the sides and at the front of the airships.
"Well, maybe we could hang around for a while." Pedro said worriedly.
Pedro gave himself a large boost of confidence, "Screw it! FIRRRRE!" He shouted commands at the troops.
Hikari watched the airships fight as Spike and Belmin fought.
"I hope they make it out of here." He said to himself, before jumping in to the fight with Belmin.
Belmin threw a punch at Spike who ducked out of it's way before swiping at Belmin with his Keyblade, but Belmin blocked it with his hand and hit Spike in the face, knocking him back. Hikari hit Belmin in retaliation but it barely affected him and he threw Hikari down to the floor as Spike stood up and charged with his Keyblade again. Spike jumped at Belmin as he tried to take his feet out and swung his Keyblade at him, Belmin rolled out of the way and threw a punch at Spike which was blocked by the Keyblade and Spike punched Belmin in the face, knocking him back.
"Not too bad." Belmin said, "Not too bad at all"
Belmin put his hood back up.
"FIRE! FIRE! FIRE!" Pedro shouted, watching the missiles leave his airship and fly at the Heartless.
"Everyone, pick up a missile launcher," Pedro said while pushing some buttons in the cockpit, making the giant window open. "And shoot like crazy"
The troops who were not using the airships missile launchers picked up the hand held missile launchers, all at once they began firing their missile at the Heartless ships.
"We can't lose now!" Pedro shouted.
The Heartless ships began to fire back at them with missiles made of darkness, taking small numbers of the troops with almost every other shot, but they could not keep up with the Resistance Airship.
A missile left the airship and flew at one of the Heartless ships, it tore it in half completely destroying the right half of it.
"That's the way, ese!" Pedro shouted.
Belmin put his hand out to his side and a flash of darkness began spreading from his palm and forming in to a giant sword.
"What's that supposed to do?" Spike asked, "Scare us"
Hikari started to shoot at Belmin from a distance as Spike and Belmin fought with their weapons, neither of them managing to get an open shot at the other. The bullets were bouncing back off from Belmin and hitting the floor.
"This is no good." Hikari said, "What else do I have"
Hikari looked around the room, trying to find some kind of weapon that would do more damage.
"Oh, right!" Hikari said, remembering what he had bought with him, "Where'd that go"
Hikari looked around, then noticed it on the other side of the room.
"There it is!" Hikari said to himself. He ran over to it and picked up the missile launcher.
"Hey, Smell-min." Hikari shouted, "Catch"
Hikari pushed the button and watched as the missile collided with Belmin's face, pushing him through the air.
The dust settled and Spike looked for Belmin, "Where is he"
Belmin put his sword through Spike's chest.
"That makes two!" Pedro said as the second Heartless ship was torn in half.
"Uh oh, look here Pedro." His Lieutenant said, looking at the ground beneath them.
Dark pools were appearing and masses of Heartless were creeping out, forming more Heartless ships.
"FIRE!" Pedro shouted, the troops began to fire at the dark pools but could not stop the ships coming through. The ships flew up in to the air and were melting together, after a few hundred ships joined up, Pedro saw what they were forming.
"Holy crap!" Pedro said to himself, looking at the giant Heartless dragon in front of them.
Spike fell to the floor as Hikari ran at Belmin, who threw him against the wall knocking him out.
"Spike?" Spike heard a voice, "Can you hear me"
"Yes, who's that?" Spike asked.
"It's Hiroshima, I don't have long before the Heartless will take me so I must make this quick. I can send my power to you, where you are now. It might be enough to take care of Belmin, but if it's not… you know what to do"
"Will you be okay?" Spike asked.
"No." Hiroshima said as his power went in to Spike.
A blinding flash of light filled the room, as Hikari looked up he saw Spike standing back up, Keyblade in hand with wings of light coming from his back.
Spike looked at Belmin, his eyes now full of light "Let's finish this."
The dragon took another of the Resistance Airships missile launchers.
"That's three missiles and a wing now." Pedro said, watching the dragon open it's mouth to do another shot of darkness balls.
"I know!" Pedro said as he moved the last missile launcher up with his control pad, "Have some of this, bitch"
Pedro pushed the button and a huge missile left the airship and went through the dragons mouth, it flew in to it's stomach before blowing up, disintegrating the dragon.
"Alright! I'm the man!"
