Kingdom Hearts III: Keyblade Master Chapter 10: Olympus Coliseum, a kingdom hearts fanfic

Chapter 10: Olympus Coliseum.

With Riku in their gang the Keybladers trip to the unanimously decided to go was Olympus Coliseum to get in some extra training. Approaching the world Sora and co. gently lowered themselves to avoid any crashes, when they were a few feet above the newly reconstructed coliseum entrance ground they dismissed their gliders and gently landed on the ground.

Looking around Sora wondered out loud. "Where is everyone?" Being a rhetorical question nobody answered.

Stepping out from the group Aqua lead them towards the vestibule. Upon entering the group spotted a little red satyr fussing over the rule board again, upon approaching him Phil says without looking. "Welcome back Herc, you need to get ready your match starts in a few minutes, this guy seems quite tough, even by your standards. So, you ready. After all victory in the games comes down to two simple words: Attack, defend, heal."

Behind him Xion counted the words he had used while counting in her head. 'one, two, three.' When Phil had finished the entire group burst into laughter. Looking around Phil shouted. "It ain't fu-!" However before he continued he spotted his favorite student besides Hercules. Grinning Phil exclaimed. "Hey, if it isn't Sora the true Hero at last. How have you been, where's the others, and who are they?"

"It's good to see you too Phil. I've been alright, I found Kairi and Riku, Riku's the one behind me (Points at a slightly grumpy Riku), so that's some good news. I've been very well actually; I've become a master with the Keyblade. Donald and Goofy are actually on their own quest, helping their king protect people. And these guys well I'll introduce you. From what I've heard you've already met Aqua and Ven. Anyway, the guy who looks like Ven is Roxas, I think you've met him, his girlfriend Xion. And Mark and Phillipa who have just recently gained the Keyblade." Sora told the Satyr while pointing at the people he was introducing..

At this point Phil was feeling slightly disorientated. "Woah, that's a lot of words all at once, just let me process it." Phil told the group. A few seconds later he continued. "Yes, I know Ventus and Aqua, Ven helped Herc train for his first ever tournament and Aqua here won hers by defeating Hades and the Ice Titan by herself. Then again you still outstrip her by a long shot. You've won every tournament I've held with your friends, by yourself and even when timed. Then you thrashed the Ice Titan and just add insult to injury that guy who was in the Platinum Match, Sephiroth I think stood no chance!" Phil gushed. "Then in the underworld you completed all of those tournaments which all had various rules, and then when Hades upped the ante on them creating the 'Paradox Cup' you just soared through it, you only had problems in the 49th match from what I've heard." Phil took a deep breath before continuing. "And yes I know Roxas, he was one of the best fighters in the coliseum especially in his own tournament."

Grasping at his newly acquired heart dramatically Roxas said in clearly fake exasperation. "You wound me for you have given me too little credit."

When Roxas finished speaking the others laughed hysterically. "Anyway guys, I'm starting a new Tournament. Would you be interested?"

A unanimous 'yes' filled the Vestibule.

~Meanwhile~

Sitting in his cool throne Hades thought about the new development. "So, the brat, the bluebird and well quite a few others have returned for a tournament. I'll just bring out an extremely tough enemy for them." Hades then looked straight at your face and said. "And I know just the guy." To you he may be looking at you in the eyes but to Pain and Panic he was looking directly at the wall behind him.

"He's going to be so mad when that guy loses." Panic panicked.

"You mean, 'if he loses'." Pain replied grinning.

Panic stopped panicking and replied. "'if', 'if' is good."

~Back in the Vestibule~

Meanwhile the Keybladers where split into groups of two, in the end the standings were: Sora & Riku, Roxas & Xion, Aqua & Ventus and Mark & Phillipa. "Right, this is a tournament split into table, four pairs per table, we then move to the round of 16, followed by the Quarter Finals, then the Semi Finals, the Finals and the Championship match against the winner of the West Wing. Oh, and to make it more interesting, no healing." Phil explained to the contestants.

"Yes sir!"

The table matches were easy for our Keybladers who smashed through their opposition with practiced ease. In the round of 16 Sora and Riku faced Cloud and Leon and narrowly defeated them, Roxas and Xion faced Yuffie and Tifa, naturally a win, Aqua and Ventus faced Hercules and Pegasus. With their combined strengths they managed to scrape a victory and finally Mark and Phillipa faced a blonde man called Lord U who controlled a time environment with his cards. When Lord U used a desperation attack a card game ensued which Mark and Phillipa had to match his cards four times, which they managed to do and a timely Thundara from Mark finished him off. (A Sora shaped cookie to whoever guesses who Lord U is)

In the Quarter Finals, they all beat their respective targets.

In the Semi-Fianls the Keybladers had to fight each other seeing as there were no other enemies.

So:

Semi Final matches: Sora and Riku vs. Mark and Phillipa. And Roxas and Xion vs. Aqua and Ventus.

Sora and Riku vs. Mark and Phillipa.

In the Coliseum Sora and Riku summoned their weapons and readied themselves for battle. Around them in the stands the crowd cheered either their names or Mark and Phillipa's names.

At the other end of the battle arena Mark and Phillipa also summoned their Keyblades, they knew they faced no chance against their masters, but they would do their best.

Suddenly a voice echoed through the fighting area. "3, 2, 1. FIGHT!"

So Master and Apprentice clashed their blades together, bowed and fought.

Start Fight.

Sora quickly sent a quick weak Fire at Phillipa who tried blocking yet she failed, it hit causing her to lose a little bit of health. She replied in kind with a Thundaga at Sora who dodged rolled out of the way. Riku, upon Sora's roll sent a double Firaga at their opponents, who both blocked, yet were unable to block his follow-up combo which sent them flying.

Having taken a fair amount of damage Phillipa locked completely onto Riku before releasing her 30 shot Shot Lock called 'Meteor Shower' Riku tried dodge rolling but was hit by all thirty little lights, before he fainted he sent a bolt of Thunder at Phillipa knocking her out.

A voice called again. "Combatants: Riku and Phillipa are knocked out therefore they are unable to continue!"

As soon as Riku had gone down Sora's eyes flashed dangerously with a lookof pure anger which nearly made Mark shit himself, Sora unknowingly entered Speed Rave which quickened his attack speed.

Mark stood no chance as Sora attacked him so quickly he couldn't keep up.

"Combatant: Mark is knocked out meaning he is unable to continue. The winners are Sora and Riku!" The Sora and Riku side of the arena cheered so loud that Sora thought he would go deaf.

End fight.

Walking up to Mark and Phillipa Sora helped them to their feet. "Good fighting guys, for rookies you did brilliantly. Not only did you hold your own against us, you even managed to knock out a Master, in this case Riku, for that I believe you have earned this." In Sora's hand was two new key chains, both identical and unfamiliar to him.

Taking the key chains from Sora, Mark and Phillipa replaced them with their own key chains turning their Keyblades from Wayward Wind to Hero's Crest with Five Strength and One Magic. "Thank you Sora." Phillipa said to the boy smiling.

Sora grinned back and replied. "No problem." Before leading the group outside of the Coliseum to rest up.

Meanwhile in the Coliseum Aqua, Ven, Roxas and Xion readied themselves for battle.

Aqua and Ventus vs. Roxas and Xion.

Like with the previous Semi-Final match the crowd had split in two; one half supporting Aqua and Ventus, the other supporting Roxas and Xion.

Yet again a disembodied voice shouted. "3, 2, 1 FIGHT!"

Aqua quickly sent off a barrage of Firaga's non-stop which Roxas barely blocked. Suddenly Roxas held his Keyblades in front of him and shouted. "STOP!" Aqua and Ventus were halted in their tracks with no way of moving. Roxas then rushed forward and unleashed an eight combo attack on Aqua.

When Lethal Frame faded Aqua felt the damage that Roxas had delivered on her person as if it were actually happening. Aqua, when she scanned herself found that she had very little health, so when Roxas hit her in the side she allowed sleep's gentle embrace.

"Combatant: Aqua is knocked out meaning she is unable to continue!"

Ven now had two Keyblade wielders to defeat. 'Shit'. Deciding it was high time to use it Ven brought out his Way finder Aqua had given to him. Pulling it to his chest Ven whispered. "Give me strength." With it being linked to Mickey and being double upgraded Ven now had access to a complete deck of commands. When Xion tried to attack he placed a Mine Shield in front of him causing Xion to lose about half her health. After his Mine Shield disappeared he ran towards Roxas and, while pointing his Keyblade in the air he shouted. "Light!" Around him a white shockwave appeared, and struck through Roxas and Xion knocking Xion out.

Combatant: Xion is knocked out meaning she is unable to continue!"

Ven, now no longer connected with Mickey reverted back to his old deck. Roxas rushed towards Ventus Keyblades at the ready, however, unfortunately for him Ven was able to knock him into the air and summon his Keyblades. Now completely defenseless, besides the columns of Light Roxas sent and Ven, Roxas knew that when Ventus reached him he would most likely be finished. He was correct as he was knocked unconscious seconds later.

"Combatant: Roxas is knocked out meaning that he is unable to continue. The winners are Aqua and Ventus!"

The crowd supporting Ven and Aqua roared with cheers.

End fight.

After helping their fellow Keybladers to their feet the quartet walked out of the Coliseum in complete silence: Like a boss!

Meeting up outside the Coliseum the gang prepared for the final which back up could be used, only if necessary.

After training and regaining health the gang headed into the Coliseum, while Sora, Riku, Roxas and Xion stayed on one side the others went to the other.

CUE THE MUSIC! (For some reason I hear the Ice Titan battle theme when I write this)

Sora, Riku, Roxas and Xion vs. Aqua, Ventus, Mark and Phillipa.

Deciding to handle it Semifinal style the gang readied themselves for the battle.

(I've honestly just copied and pasted from earlier.)

Suddenly a voice echoed through the fighting area. "3, 2, 1. FIGHT!"

So Master and Apprentice clashed their blades together, bowed and fought.

Start Fight.

A voice called again. "Combatants: Riku and Phillipa are knocked out therefore they are unable to continue!"

As soon as Riku had gone down Sora's eyes flashed dangerously with a lookof pure anger which nearly made Mark shit himself, Sora unknowingly entered Speed Rave which quickened his attack speed.

Mark stood no chance as Sora attacked him so quickly he couldn't keep up.

"Combatant: Mark is knocked out meaning he is unable to continue."

~Meanwhile~

"Combatant: Aqua is knocked out meaning she is unable to continue!"

Combatant: Xion is knocked out meaning she is unable to continue!"

"Combatant: Roxas is knocked out meaning that he is unable to continue."

This left Sora against Ventus.

Nobody, not even I know what happened next, the best way to describe to would be that a large explosion took place and Sora was only just standing with Ventus on the floor in front of him

(THEY MAY NOT KNOW, BUT YOU WILL, LUCKY YOU!)

~At the beginning of the fight~

At the same time Roxas and Sora sent a Mega Flare at each other which, when met in the middle of the battle ground exploded causing both Keybladers to fly off of their feet. Ven, not having Once More or Second Chance was knocked out; however, having these useful abilities had left Sora with One HP.

As the smoke cleared the voice yelled. "Combatant: Ventus is knocked out meaning he is unable to battle. The winners are Sora and Riku!" The stadium on the right burst into thunderous applause, so loud it was as if Zeus was right there with them.

Sora quickly healed his downed comrades, as well as the others and walked out of the arena, again Like a boss!

~Elsewhere~

Meanwhile Hades' super-duper warrior had flounced his opponents easily and prepared to face the Keyblade wielder which had defeated him so long ago. TWICE!

~Back with the gang~

Phil entered the Vestibule with a clipboard in one hand and a pen in the other. "Congratulations Sora and Riku, you are through to the Championship match against (BLEEP You'll find out soon enough)." Phil told the two masters merrily.

However Sora was anything but merry, in fact he was pale. "Not (BLEEP) anyone but (BLEEP)."

"Best get ready, your match starts in Five minutes." Phil told the pair.

Sora decided it was a good time for a nap.

~Five minutes later~

Walking into the Coliseum Sora saw a figure he hoped he would never see again. The man had long silver hair; he wore a long coat with armour in random places. In his sheath a long Katana sword twice the man's height lay and on his back a single black wing lay. "Sephiroth!" Sora yelled.

Sephiroth looked at Sora amused. "Ah, yes the one who has bested me not once, but TWICE! You will pay for that." Sephiroth yelled.

Sora and Riku vs. Sephiroth. (START ONE WINGED ANGEL in another tab)

"3, 2, 1 FIGHT!"

"Show me your strength." Sephiroth rushed at the two wielders and attempted to attack them quickly; however all his attacks were blocked and parried causing Sephiroth to lose a little bit of health. Over the course of the next few minutes Sephiroth teleported around the area and attempted to hit the Keybladers, but no matter where he went they were always waiting for him and always hit him before he could hit them. Angered Sephiroth used and oldie but a goodie. Rising into the air Sephiroth said. "Come, Heartless Ang-." But was yet again cut off a jab from both sides caused his attack to fizzle out.

Sora and Riku were having fun with Sephiroth, no matter what he did they countered it, even his desperation moved. And to finish off the fight Sora and Riku sent a beam of light at him which pierced his chest and caused him to disappear into tendrils of darkness and light as he teleported away to regain his bearing.

"Combatant: Sephiroth has forfeited the match by teleporting elsewhere. The Winners of The Coliseum are: SORA AND RIIIIIIIKUUUUUU!" The entire crowd cheered so loudly that the people in the nearby town of Thebes could hear them.

Someone in the crowd pointed at the Keybladers and said. "They're Phil's boys'." Causing Phil to tear up slightly at the success of another true hero being known to the world.

End fight.

Sora and Riku went up to a Coliseum shaped cup adorned with swords and lifted into the air. From inside the cup Sora pulled out a familiar keychain and attached it to his Keyblade turning it into Hero's Crest with Six Strength and No Magic. Still better than the Three Strength and One Magic of his Kingdom Key.

After joining up with the rest of the gang they spoke to Phil and Hercules. "We need to go again." Sora said to the Satyr.

"Well, if you need training just come back and I'll help yeah?" Phil said to the gang still tearing slightly. Above them, in the night sky The God of Day and Night spread out the stars into the shape of Riku, Roxas, Xion, Mark and Phillipa. Naming them true Heroes for the entire world to know.

The Keybladers grinned, and upon summoning their Gliders they sped off to the next world.
