Round one: Sora, Donald and Goofy versus "Little Black Things"

Round two: Leon and Yuffie vs Hercules

Round three: Merlin vs Semaj

Round four: Jan vs Cloud

All participants are to assemble inside the coliseum for briefing before starting.

Jan's POV:

Darn… I really wanted to go up against James first.

I stare up the big list up outside the coliseum, blinked thrice when I saw Leon, Yuffie and Merlin's names on the list. Phil didn't set me up with my best friend and Leon, Yuffie and Merlin were competing. Great! My only request is that Merlin better not beat "Majes", this was my only chance to fight the guy fair and square.

"Merlin's competing too?" Sora asked in confusion. I'm confused too, why Merlin and company enter the games?

"Who knew?" I laughed. "Guess you should pack up as many potions you can get Sora." He nods follows Donald and Goofy, who had already went outside the Coliseum for a supply run. The competition begins in a few hours. Time to train! I got my first book and reviewed some spells (The grimoire was too heavy so it stayed on the ship).

I pointed at the pot nearby. "Fira!" a small ball of fire launched from the palm of my hand and blew the pot to pieces. I grinned in amusement. I looked up more powerful spells and accidentally found "Ultima", the most powerful spell in existence. Below was a small line.

-All existence denied-

After a few minutes of reading the line again and again, Awesome! I can sweep the games if I use this spell over and over. I tried finding a suitable target for my spell. The golden statue seemed like a perfect target. "Ulti-"

"Don't be foolish" a voice came out of nowhere. I looked around in surprise. No one was there. I cast "Dispelga!" to dispel any invisibility spells to see if someone was messing with me. I was about to cast another spell but a strange light came from the book in my hand. I opened it and saw another line engraved under "Ultima"

Use only in the hardest of trials. This is not a spell used for fun, Jan

I felt the hair behind my neck rise. Kingdom Hearts.

"You have got to be kidding me! You gave me this power and I can't even use it?" I mumbled in disappointment. Thunder cracked from above. "No, no! I was just kidding! KIDDING! Ehehe!" I laughed nervously and hung my head low. I re-read the book for any more useful spells.

"Hey nerd!" someone greeted from behind

I turned around. Someone was wearing a hood over his blonde hair and his usual sheepish smile. "Hey nut-head!" I greeted back

He grinned and said, "What'cha looking at over there?" he took a peek in my book. "Ultima eh? Sounds powerful." said James. "Anyway, have you seen the match-ups? I'm up against an old guy. Piece of cake if you ask me. Too bad you're stuck with that Cloud guy."

"Don't worry about me. You should focus on Merlin. He can beat you in less than a minute." I warned.

"I doubt it. Magic isn't that powerful. Besides, I'll beat him before he could move his creaky old bones. I bet he'll get stuck in the middle of casting." he laughed. I could hear someone growling from behind the pillar. James didn't notice it since he was still laughing loudly. Overconfident idiot

"You should be practicing with your sword instead of laughing you head off." I said while attemting to go back to reading.

"Great idea!" he turned around but faced me again, pretending to think. "Or I could just brag how I beat Riku on a one-on-one match at Hollow Bastion."

"Or you can just walk away before I blast you to another world." I threatened.

He drew his sword and shield. "I doubt that, noob." he emphasized the last word. He flashed a smile and drew back his sword. "Let's do this later, after my match against the old guy. Better win against Cloud or I'm taking the trophy for myself"

"You won't last ten seconds." I scoffed. Funny but true. Right now I could imagine him crawling on the floor after getting hit by a few Flares.

"We'll see, noobie. You weren't that much of a problem back at Wonderland. I can't imagine a hundred year-old wizard be any harder." he grinned. This time I could hear muffled threats coming from behind the pillar. That must be…

"You cheated that time!" I said, annoyed

"Details! Mages, wizards, sorcerers still can't beat me!" he shouted proudly. "They're all weak, pathetic and too lazy! I'm too strong for their kind!"

If my hunch was right, the one behind the pillar must be- "Burst!" someone shouted from behind James. A huge, no GIGANTIC, thunderbolt came down from the sky and almost pierced through James if only he didn't backflip the second the spell was cast. The impact on the ground sent a shockwave at us both, hurling us at separate directions.

"Protectga!" I casted a split second before my impact on the hard wall, absorbing the impact. James, on the other hand, crashed straight into the wall.

"Hmph, how's that for weak, old and lazy?" the attacker shouted triumphantly. I turned my head towards the voices' source. Merlin stood near the coliseum gates with a triumphant grin on his face. "Never judge someone by their appearance I always say."

James fell on the ground but quickly got on his feet. He drew his sword and shield. "Hallowed Bo-"

"Stop!" Merlin quickly countered, making James stop in his tracks. I stared in awe as Merlin easily beat James without much difficulty, or mana. James eyes' widened in shock when he realized he couldn't move.

I couldn't help but clap in awe. "Congratulations on your unofficial win Merlin, next time do it inside the coliseum. He's your opponent anyway." I praised him. He had a smug look on his face.

"Why if it isn't the little quick-healing mage? How fares your travel with the Keyblade's chosen one?" he asked.

I ignored the comment "little". "Great! Me, Sora, Donald and Goofy were just about to enter the games. I see you, Leon and Yuffie also entered." I replied.

"Well we do this every 6 months. Think of it as a vacation for us three. Defending the town from all thos Heartless raids is a pain." he explained. "About the four of you entering, it is a wonderful idea if I do say so myself. We need to train the Keyblade's chosen one. Did your psychic vision tell you this?" he asked. I could hear James laughing inside his mouth. No I just wanted to fight that idiot over there.

"Lucky guess?" I said

"You should hone that skill of yours, my boy! Such a rare gift should be used to the fullest." Merlin cheered.

"Thanks, I will. Hey uh, Merlin." I pointed at the frozen spell knight. He sighed and casted "Esuna!" The frozen red eyed boy collapsed on the floor.

"Now, shall we?" Merlin gestured towards the coliseum. I nodded and dragged James' body, who was exhausted , towards the entrance.

By the time we reached the inside, it was already filled with competitors. Hercules was busy chatting with Phil about battle strategies; Leon and Yuffie were sharpening their weapons. I noticed Leon had a new haircut and is pretty sure that wasn't made by a barber, the barber cut the front too much and there was a bald spot above his scalp. Yuffie was cheerful and bubbly as usual but something told me not to get on her bad side for now OR let her on the ship. Cloud was leaning on the wall in one corner, deep in thought. Sora, Donald and Goofy were still on their supply run. That left me with a knocked out James and a still-celebrating-over-his-unofficial-win-by-sneak-attack old wizard. I set the guy down beside the large block.

"Leon, Yuffie!" Merlin called out. The two heard and approached us. I tried to look away from Leon's haircut but couldn't help it, I laughed. Leon's glare was intense.

"Nice hair compadre!" I joked. His eyes twitched and his frown deepened. Leon was about to advance when Yuffie stepped in front of him

"Easy there, Leon!" said Yuffie, grabbing the man's arm. "You deserved that. Don't take it out on the little kid. I have to agree with Jan though.

"He set me up!" shouted Leon, shooting me with murderous glances. Yuffie looked at me, I tried to look as innocent as possible.

"How could someone so innocent take my fridge?" she pointed at my face. "Besides, we could use that haircut as a secret weapon!" she giggled

"And how do you propose we do that?" asked Leon, eyeing the ninja in front of him.

"Our enemy would laugh his heart out when he sees that and we can kick him out of the ring! We'll win instantly!" Yuffie laughed. Merlin and I joined in.

Leon growled in response but stayed still. He still glared at me though. It wasn't long until the three came back.

Sora walked in first. "Jan, we got your yoghu-" Sora clamped up in mid-sentence when he saw Leon, Yuffie and Merlin next to me. Leon's face lit up with a mischievous grin. Yuffie's face was blank and Merlin backed away from the three of us. I got my book and gripped it tightly, chanting a few protection spells silently. The atmosphere was tense. Yuffie's aura was overwhelming.

"We're back! Miss us?" Donald greeted, carrying a brown bag.

"We got lots of neat stuff from the bazaar! Moogles gave most of the stuff we need though." said Goofy, hands full with shopping bags.

No one greeted back or attempted to greet back. Leon was still smiling, Yuffie was still blank, Merlin kept his distance, Sora hid behind Goofy and I was still chanting silently for protection. Yuffie's face slowly shifted into a creepy grin with wide eyes staring at me, then Sora.

"Yoghurt?" Yuffie asked dementedly. "Where do you guys keep it?"

"I, uh…" I mumbled in confusion. Sora stared at me with wide eyes telling me to say something. "I freeze it with ice… magic?"

"Oh, pray tell, how do you do that?" she asked.

"Oh, uh, easy! Watch! Blizzard!" I cast, pointing at the bag filled with yoghurt Sora just bought. Ice slowly encased it, starting from below to top.

Yuffie just stared at the bag. There was a chance she still might murder me and there was a chance she might drop it. Around 90:10. I say drop it! I slowly tiptoed my way for the door. Screw the games, my life is in danger here. I signaled Sora and the two to follow while Yuffie was still thinking. The nod and follow.

We almost reached the door when a hand grabbed Sora's and my shoulders. "Uh, Sora, Donald, Goofy, Jan what are you guys doing?" Yuffie asked. "Phil is about to start the briefing." We slowly turned our heads around. Yuffie was staring at us, a slightly confused look on her face. Leon was grumbling in disappointment, Merlin was breathing in and out for air and James was still sleeping like a rock.

We breathed in relief.

"Ok ladies, let's start off by reviewing our rules." Phil started. "Rule number one: No third to fourth level elemental magics like Firaga, Blizzaga, Thundaga and Flare, Freeze, Burst, got it? Also: Stop, Stopra and Stopga at not allowed."I sighed in relief, at least now James would last a few more seconds against Merlin. I heard Merlin mumble in disappointment."Rule number two: You may fight but not KILL!" I saw Cloud move a bit in the corner of my eye. "Rule number three: Out-of-bounds will only apply on some matched, for example there will only be 4 people or less. If it's gonna be something like a 5 on 5, OoB won't be appied. Lastly rule number four: NO, and I mean, NO SUMMONING. I only have two words for you guys: Good luck fellas!"

I counted the words with by fingers. Good= one, luck=two, fellas=three? "Uh Phil that's thre-"

"Into the coliseum! Sora, Donald and Goofy get in there!" shouted Phil. The three soon-to-be heroes nodded.

"We'll be back before you know it Jan!" Sora waved goodbye as they entered the inner coliseum. I nodded and waved back. That left me with six people. I woke James up for company but he wouldn't budge.

"Do you know him?" asked Merlin, poking James' arm with his magic wand.

"James" I replied blankly. Merlin, Yuffie and Leon gasped in surprise. I guess Merlin told them my story already.

"So that's why he looked so familiar!" said Yuffie, shocked. "He was the guy with you in the inn!" I glared at Yuffie. She thought about what she said and made an "Oops" sound.

"Why is he here, my boy? Isn't he supposed to be by Maleficent's side?" Merlin inquired

I shook my head. "He says he's on vacation. He just wanted to be here and win the trophy."

"That's it?" Leon asked.

"Yeah that's not important. I need to get on to training! Later!" I ran out the door, followed by an unsatisfied wizard, questioning ninja and grumpy gunblade wielder.

Someplace else

"So the little kid is our pawn's friend. Interesting, Maleficent would be glad to hear about this."

A puff of smoke and a small mirror appears. On the other side was a witch in green flames, the evil smile permanent on her old face.

"Hades?"

"Maeficent, it seems like our little toy is an acquaintance of the little light bulb."

The witch's eyes widened upon hearing the news."Very interesting, that little traitor. What do you propose we do about that?"

"I say we squash the little toy of ours while it's still unaware." Hades smashed his fists together.

Maleficent thought for a bit. A smile formed on her lips. "No, I have a better idea. Let the little toy of ours do what he wants for now. Tomorrow…" she trailed off.

At the coliseum

Normal POV:

Sora rolled out of the way before the Large Body Heartless crashed. Donald was busy dancing with the Blue Rhapsody and Yellow Operas, evading their thunder and ice crashing down while sending his own spells against them and Goofy was dueling with three Soldiers at once. Sora ran straight towards Goofy and flung his Keyblade at the three unsuspecting Soldiers, two faded into nothingness and the other one was squished to the ground by Goofy. The Large Body launched up to the air once again, this time for Donald. Donald, raging mad, use Magnera to draw all the Blue Rhapsody and Yellow Operas above him. Sora dashed and grabbed the duck away from the area and the Large Body landed on the other Heartless. Goofy launched his shield at the Large Body and pierced it, leaving a heart floating in its place.

"All right!" Sora shouted in victory. Donald and Goofy sat down beside the Keyblade wielder, exhausted.

Phil stood up from the seats and announced the winners. "Victory goes to Sora, Donald and Goofy!" Clapping and victory cheers were heard and from the audience. The three heroes smiled, waving and thanking the audience. Hercules stood up and gave them a standing ovation. (a/n: correct me if I used it the wrong way) The three made their way to their seats in the stands.

"Next round: Leon and Yuffie vs our very own, Hercules!" Everyone in the crowd cheered louder than before as Hercules made his way to the ring. Hercules waved to his loyal fans, including Phil. After a few more minutes of waving, the competitors still haven't arrived.

"Are the competitors, Mr. Squall Leonhart and Ms. Yuffie Kisaragi present?" the MC asked.

Suddenly, the lights went out. Merlin announced, "Introducing, the dynamic duo, the kind and queen of pain, the fast and the furious, Squall Leonhart and Yuffie Kisaragi!" Leon and Yuffie appeared in a puff of smoke, backs at each other and hands crossed. Leon was the first to move, drawing his gun blade posed, gunblade in his right and lay flat on his back. Yuffie doesn't bother with the posing and stuff and went straight into the ring.

Phil began to countdown. "All right begin in three… two… one!"

Leon didn't waste any time, he went straight towards Hercules and horizontally slashed at his head. Hercules barely had time to react, he immediately ducked below. Leon attempts to cleave Hercules into two but he managed to catch the blade in his hands and throw the gunblade wielder outside the ring.

"Ring out!" Phil shouted at the top of his lungs. The centaur jumped up and down. The battle wasn't over yet, there was Yuffie still. Hercules looked around from left to right. Yuffie was nowhere to be seen.

Someone cried from above, "Fire style: Fireball Jutsu!" a flaming ball of fire made impact with Hercules. The man went down to his knees. Yuffie wasn't done just yet, "Fire style: Fire Phoenix Jutsu!" several balls of fire collided with Hercules once again.

"Herc!" Phil shouted in concern. Yuffie landed in front of the fallen figure with a grin on her face.

The MC checked Hercules from afar and announced, "The winner for this round is-"

"n-Nooo!" Hercules slammed the ground with his fists, knocking the ninja high into the air. The man leaped up to the air and grabbed the ninja, much to her surprise, and slammed her into the ground. The crowd cheered. The fog of dust cleared, Yuffie lay there unconscious.

"Hercules!" The MC announced. The crowd stood from their seats and lifted Hercules up, carrying him outside the coliseum to celebrate his win. Leon picks Yuffie's body and brings him to Merlin for healing, who was standing by the entrance, clearly disappointed by the loss.

"That was epic!" James stood from the stands, poking his ears. The crowd sure was loud. After a few warm-ups and stretches, "I guess it's my turn next!"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, not so fast, kid!" Phil stopped the teen in his tracks. "The following rounds will be held later, think of it as a small lunch break." The red eyed teen sighed and went back to his seat.

"Woo! Go Hercules!" Jan appears from the entrance together with Sora, Donald and Goofy with a Hercules flag in his hand. James gives the other teen a bewildered look.

The red eyed teen patted the space next to him and asked, "You were watching too?"

"Yeah, from up there." the mage pointed above the coliseum walls. "I had to, Merlin and company wasn't easy to lose. Speaking of which, where are they?" James pointed at the three figures by the entrance.

Merlin got his wand. "Renew!" Light enveloped Yuffie's body, slowly healing her injuries.

Jan got his book. "According to the book, that spell would take a few minutes to be fully effective. It can heal even the deepest cuts."

"Whoa, wicked!" James said in awe.

Jan rolled his eyes. "You should be practicing instead of lazing around you know." He grabbed something from his bag. A cold can of soda.

"Hey, what's that?" Sora asked.

"Energy drink, it's for those who are just about to compete! You're already done so this goes to…" he looked around. "Semaj!" James flinched and gave him a "What the heck?" expression. The red-eyed teen barely had time to react when a can was magically thrown to him.

"Hey lemme try that stuff!" Sora laid his hand out. Jan shook his head. "Please?" He made his devastated puppy-dog eye pout.

"That's not gonna work with me, Sora." Jan replied. Sora continued to pout.

"Sora a no is a no!" said Donald. Sora didn't listen, he still continued pouting.

"Pweeease?" Sora begged.

The mage rolled his eyes. "Fine" he snorted. "No more next time though." Sora happily took his can and gulped everything down.

"Wait, doesn't this have too much sugar in it?" James asked.

"I never checked. The moogles said it only had small amounts but I guess we'll see soon enough." Both stared at Sora, who was still busy gulping.

"Jan, when you said energy drink…" Donald trailed off.

"Does that mean?" Goofy continued.

Jan nods. "Start running."

The two didn't need to be reminded twice. They ran outside the coliseum.

"Why? What's wrong with Sora and sugar?" James asked, confused.

Jan sighed and explained, "Sora's a hyperactive goofball by himself. If you mix sugar then you're asking for trouble."

The red-eyed teen's eyes widened in shock, "Then why are you letting him drink it?"

Jan leaned close and whispered to the other's ear, "It's sugar free. Don't' tell Sora."

James snorted and nodded. "So about the games, I'm next and up against Merlin. Any tips?"

"Don't underestimate him and you'll do fine."

"That was kind of short."

Sora finally finished drinking the soda and joined in the conversation. "You're next right Semaj?" He nods. "I hope we get to fight in the finals!"

"You're fighting Hercules first squirt." said James, a smile forming on his lips. "I'll be fighting Cloud and Merlin so I'm pretty much gonna win the cup if you, Donald and Goofy are my next opponents after that."

"You're forgetting about me, Semaj" Jan glared.

"I'm pretty sure you'll get trashed by Cloud." James chuckled. The mage's eyes widened in rage, he stomped off outside the coliseum with book tightly held in on hand.

"What's up with him?"

Sora explained, "It's nothing Semaj. He's just gonna try practicing again to prove you wrong. Don't be alarmed when you hear a couple of explosions. Good luck in your next match though! We'll be rooting for ya!" Sora waves goodbye.

James nodded and said, "Thanks, make sure that friend of yours," -my best friend, "watches too!"

Time skip – 2 pm

"Judgment Blade!" A blue blade appeared above Merlin but before the sword could make impact…

"Protect!" A strong barrier blocked the attack, breaking the blue magic blade into pieces. Merlin grinned in amusement.

Someone shouted from the stands, "Go Merlin! Kick his ass for me!" The competitors looked around for the source and saw the teen mage waving a banner with Merlin's face on it.

James stared in disbelief and said, "You're rooting for him now? Thanks a lot!"

The mage sticks his tongue out in response.

James was about to counter when someone pretended to clear his throat. "Can we resume the match now?" Merlin asked.

James nods. "Crushing Blow!" Small spheres of light attached themselves to Merlin. The spheres attached themselves to one another and enveloped Merlin in it. It slowly became tighter and tighter, crushing Merlin within. The sphere became smaller and smaller, smaller than Merlin could ever fit in. James grinned in victory.

"That was a very spell laddie!" Merlin appeared a few meters behind James with a satisfied grin. James' eyes widened in shock. "Oh you didn't think I'd fall that easily now do ye? Teleporting out of that mess was tricky but easy. Didn't I tell you before to never judge someone by their appearance?"

"You did, I never listened though." James drew his sword and ran straight towards Merlin.

Merlin pointed his wand and said, "Foolish boy, never attack a magician head-on! Bind!" James stopped in his tracks, his feet stuck on the ground by a mysterious force. Merlin raised his wand again. "Time to finish this little game, Aerora!" Gusts of wind pushed at James, sending him reeling backwards. James stabbed the ground with his sword and held on. Merlin scowls in irritation and shouts, "Zero Gravity!" The teen was lifted up into the air. Merlin continues with "Aerora!" and sent the teen straight outside the ring. It was over.

Riku's voice came out of nowhere. "Giving up that easy?"

"'Course not!" James shouted into the air. The teen broke the spell, recovered in the air and landed on his two feet, almost at the edge of the ring. "I'm not giving up!" said James with fierce determination

"Fantastic! Astounding!" Merlin clapped from the other side. "That was quite a show my boy! Now come here and give an old man some fun."

"Gladly!" James gripped his blade and proceeded into a duel stance, blade in one hand and behind the body. The sword's blade glowed blue, James quickly drew it out, slashing quickly through the air making a sharp energy wave heading straight towards the old wizard.

Merlin hastily cast, "Wall!" A solid wall erected in front of Merlin, absorbing the slash. The wizard quickly countered with multiple fire spells. James blocked most of it with his shield, some burned his legs. The teen grunted in pain and sent more slash waves toward his opponent. Merlin easily blocks it again with his shield magic which annoys the teen greatly.

"You won't win as long as I have enough mana. Time to give up, boy!"

This gave the red-eyed teen an idea. "Unless I use this spell, Infernal Strike!" A sharp arc erected from the ground and cleaved Merlin into two. The wizard had no time to react. The teen smiled, for the wizard thought he was dead. The crowd gasped in shock. The blade disappears and left an old man gasping for breath.

Merlin came to realization and gasped. "I-I'm still al-live?"

James didn't waste any time, he ran straight towards the old man and pushed him off the ring.

*THUD*

No one in the crowd moved. Jan stared in awe, Sora, Donald and Goofy's mouths gaped open, Leon and Yuffie were shocked with what just happened. No one dared speak until the MC announced, "T-the winner is… Semaj!" The crowd cheered. James sighed in relief and fell flat the floor. Eight people quickly went to his side. Phil puts his ears to the red-eyed teen's chest.

"Still breathing, he's just exhausted from using too much strength and mana." Everyone sighs in relief. "It's time for the next round people! Jan Sanda versus Cloud Strife!"

Sora and Goofy lift the collapsed teen up and carries him into the infirmary while Yuffie and Donald carry Merlin. The two competitors get ready to duel.

"All right we begin in three. Two. One!"

The teen raises his hand to shake the others'. "Hey I'm Ja-" The teen was cut in mid-sentence when a giant blade almost cleaved him to two. "Oi, you could have killed me!"

"I don't see why not." the tall blonde man replied. Jan noticed his enemy's arm were small sphere like shapes glowing in different colors.

The teen gasped in surprise, "Materia!"

The blonde nods. "Firaga!" A big ball of fire launched from the blonde's hands and straight towards the teen.

"Reflect!" The fireball rebounds but was easily blocked by the opponent using his giant blade. "That's cheating! Phil!"

"Rule number three broken! Disqualification!" shouted Phil. Cloud gives him a cold glare. The centaur quickly took back what he said. "You know what? It's fine! Use all the magic you want!"

"Phil!" Jan shouted exasperatedly

"Kid, I said all magic."

Jan blinked. "Oh, finally! Blizzaga!" Ice spiked from the ground and trapped the unsuspecting soldier in it. The teen made a victory pose. "I win! Give me my trophy!"

"You wish kid. You still have two rounds to go." Phil snorted. "Seems like the rounds not yet over after all!" The centaur pointed at the ice containing the frozen soldier

*crack*

From inside, cracks began to appear slowly reaching the outside. The ice slowly broke off part by part until all that was left was the ice surrounding the soldier.

"Fi-ga" The ice melted, leaving a soldier gripping his sword tight. "That was lame, my turn." The soldier jumped up high into the air. Multiple thunder spells almost struck him down. He pointed his oversized sword down and aimed for the teen.

"Barrier! Shield! Wall!" Three enchantments appeared and made three layers of walls between them. The said barriers stopped the blade but broke in the process.

Cloud swiftly got to his feet and slashed with his blade. The mage fell on the floor trying to dodge the attack. Cloud slashed downwards with no intent of letting the opponent live. The mage hastily rolled to the right.

"You can't run forever!" Cloud growled in irritation.

Jan got to his feet and casted, "Thundaga!" Giant thunderbolts shot down from the sky and almost pierced the soldier if only he didn't move.

"You can't scare me. You're pathetic spells aren't good enough. They can't even do enough damage to kill!" Cloud shouted and once again swung his blade, this time to behead the mage.

"My spells aren't weak! I don't want to kill!" Jan countered while dodging his attacks.

"You're weak!" Cloud spat the word out. "You're weaker than your friend! At least he could do some damage. You can barely hurt a Heartless with a simple fire spell!" Cloud laughed darkly.

Jan shook his head in denial. "Not true! Ice Wall!" A wall of ice appeared in between the two. Cloud easily slashed through.

"Pathetic! Weak! You're nobody!" Cloud laughed again. The soldier backhand slapped the mage, throwing the teen off balance. Cloud lifted his blade for one last blow.

"Jan, focus! Keep it together!" James shouted from the sides. Jan sneaked a peek and saw Donald and Goofy carrying his best friend.

"Don't give up!" Donald and Goofy shouted in unison. "Win already so you can get this idiot off our backs. He's heavy!" Donald added

"They're right! I can do this!" the teen shouted in his mind.

Before the blade made contact, the mage casted "Warp!" The sword met cement. "Aeroga!" A sudden gust of wind pushed the soldier off balance and rolling to the corner of the ring. He didn't know what hit him. "I'm not weak! I'm Jan, guardian of the Keyblade's Chosen One!" With that, the mage kicked the soldier in the hind, knocking him off the ring.

Phil jumped into the air and shouted, "Ring out!"

Everyone cheered, excluding the guy with the burning fire for hair. The guy was burning brightly and was mistaken for a sunset. James ran to his best friend and congratulated him. The three (Sora, Donald and Goofy) happily skipped towards the two with "energy drinks" in hand.

"Cheers!" The three shouted in unison and gave the other two their own share.

The two nodded. "Cheers"

The semi-finals were to be held later, giving the competitors a time to rest.

Actually I got lazy and finished at the semi-finals. NEXT WEEK will be the Agrabah... right?... anyway please tell me on review which world you want next! Thanks!
