Chapter 3: To the Collseum! Cloud Appears!
They arrive. Leon looks at Riku. "Well, I say we go look around." Riku nods. "Right." They walk into the Main Hall. Phil has his back to them. He thinks Hercules has come. "I'm glad you're here. Could ya move that stone for me?" Riku tries pushing on the stone. "It's too heavy..." Phil is surprised. "Too heavy!?" Riku nods. "Yea." Phil turns around. "Since when... Ohh.. Thought you were someone else.." Riku blinks. "Who? So, what's going on here anyway?"
"I got stuck in charge of the tournaments. Heroes allowed... Heroes only... Sorry, kid." Riku's annoyed. "Hey, we're heroes. I've fought a lot of monsters, as has Leon there." Leon waves. "Hello." Riku looks at Phil. "So, can we enter?" Phil scratches his chin. "hmmm...You have to go through some tests first." Riku grins. "I'm ready for them!" The barrel tests begin. Riku passes each test. "I passed the test. So, can we enter?" Phil shakes his head. "Sorry, kid. You need an entry pass..." Riku pouts. "Great..." Leon sighs. "He's no help."
They head out and see Hades. "So, you're wanting to enter that tournament, but goatboy won't let you enter without an entry pass? Well, look what I have right here..." He shows an entry pass to them. Leon looks at Riku. "I wouldn't trust him as far as I could throw him. Be on your toes, Riku." Riku nods. "Right." Hades looks at them. "Look, I'm not joshing you. Here. You can have it. You want to enter those games, right?" Leon looks at Riku. Leon looks at Hades. "What's the catch?" Hades looks at them. "Nothing, nothing. Just show that goatboy how good you are. That's all."
"I'm still not to sure about these.... but okay. Riku, take 'em." Riku takes them. "Let's go show them to that Satyr so we can get into the games!" Leon nods. "Right" They head into the Collseum's main lobby. Phil looks at them. "Look I told you..." Riku shows him the entry pass. Phil is surprised. "Where did you get that?" Riku looks at Phil. "A friend gave us it. Does this mean we can enter the tournament?" Phil nods slowly. "Yes it does." Riku grins. "All right!"
They enter into the arena. Riku notices what they're fighting. "Heartless!" Leon thinks. "Hmm... This is odd... Very odd." Riku nods. "Yea... Let's just kick 'em really hard and get this over with!" Leon nods. "Right." Riku dashes in and slashes some of the Heartless with the Keyblade. "Leon! Behind you!" Leon whirls. "FIRE!" Heartless get fried. Riku whistles. "Nice." Leon smiles. "Thanks."
Several rounds later... Riku and Leon are still winning. Hades is watching and talking to someone in the shadows. Hades looks into the shadows. "Cloud, get your tail in there!" Cloud comes into view. "Yea, what do you want?" Hades is annoyed at Cloud's attitude. "Move! Fight THEM!!!!" Flames leap from Hades' head. Cloud looks a bit surprised. "The great god of the Underworld is afraid of a kid?" Hades looks at Cloud. "We have a deal, Cloud..." Hades holds up a contract. Cloud looks at it. "Yea, but it says I'm only supposed to kill Hercules. Where's it say I have to kill a kid anyway?" Hades snaps his fingers, and a new line appears. "There." Cloud looks disgusted. "Just what has that kid done to you anyway?"
"NO QUESTIONS. JUST MOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Cloud heads off. "All right, all right...." -Something's up with that guy...- Hades glowers. "I'll make sure if he fails I have a back up plan." He whistles. "Here, Cerebrus. Here boy." Cerebrus comes. Evil laughter. "MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
Riku looks at Phil. "So, who's our next opponent?" Leon looks at Phil. "Phil..." Cloud comes into the arena. Phil looks worried. "Him..." Riku looks awed. "Whoa...." Leon points the Gunblade towards Cloud. "All right, Pal.... You're going down!" Cloud hefts his Buster Sword. "We'll see about that..." Leon casts Fire. "FIRE!!!" A fireball shoots towards Cloud. Cloud dodges. "Hey!" Riku hits Cloud with the Keyblade and nails him with a combo. Cloud hits Riku with Sonic Blade. Riku gets hit. "Ahhh!" Leon attacks with Lionheart. Cloud hits Leon with Omnislash. Leon gets hit. "unnghh...."
"Leon!"
Leon uses Cure. "CURE." Riku uses Hi-Potion on himself. Leon looks at Riku. "Riku, together we'll attack!" Cloud uses Omnislash on Riku. Riku is nearly KO'ed. Leon looks at Riku. "Riku! CURE!" Leon heals Riku. Riku looks at Leon. "Thanks!" Riku looks ready. "Let's take him, Leon!" Leon casts Ice. "ICE!" Riku casts Fire. "Fire!" Cloud gets hit. "Ungh!" Cloud falls to his knees. "How... How could I be beaten...." Riku twirls the Keyblade. "That's the power of the Keyblade!"

Chapter 4: Cloud Betrayed! Team United!
Hades looks pissed. "CLOUD! YOU'VE FAILED ME FOR THE LAST TIME!" Riku looks around. "What the?!" Cloud looks pissed at Hades. "What?!" Hades sends out Cerebrus. "GET THEM, CEREBRUS!!" Cloud is weakened. Riku looks at Leon. "We've gotta help him!" Leon nods. "Right..." Riku looks at Leon. "I'll distract Cerebrus. You heal Cloud!" Riku runs in front of Cerebrus. "Nah, nah! You can't get me!" Cerebrus goes after Riku. Riku looks at Leon while he's leading Cerebrus away. "Go on and heal him, Leon! Then we can take Cerebrus together!" Leon looks annoyed. "Well that wasn't what I was thinking." Cloud blinks. "Huh?" Leon walks over to Cloud. "I am gonna regret this... Cure!" Cloud looks at Leon. "How come you helped me when I tried to kill you?" Leon looks a bit annoyed at Cloud. "That's not important now. Get your bum off of the ground and help!" Cloud nods and stands up. "Hades tricked me... Now I think it's time to pay him back... by defeating Cerebrus!" Leon runs over and help Riku. "FIRE!!!" Cloud follows. "Thunder!" Riku rolls to avoid some dark fire spit by Cerebrus. "Whoa!" Cloud uses Omnislash on Cerebrus!
Within a few minutes, Cerebrus was down. Riku grins. "Whew! That was close! Thanks again, Cloud. Why'd you work with Hades anyway?" Cloud sighs. "I'm looking for someone... Hades promised to help. I tried to exploit the powers of darkness, but it backfired. I fell into darkness, and I couldn't find the light." Riku nods. "Hey, why don't you come along with us? Maybe you'll find who you're looking for. I know how you feel, because two of my friends were taken by the darkness just before our world was destroyed." Cloud nods slowly. "Maybe I will. It's the least I could do for doing what you did for me here today, and together, the three of us will take on this darkness to find our friends and find the light once again." Riku nods. "Yea! Look out, bad guys, cause here we come!" Leon chuckles.
