Later in the Lanes Between Aqua and Aaron find a new world and enter there to arrive in front of a Roman-style building while Unverseds appear. Aqua and Aaron conjured up theirs so a fat little man with legs and goat horns interposed between Aqua and Aaron and made so-called intimidating but ridiculous poses before Aaron attacked the Unverseds without further a long time before Aqua participates too and a young man wearing a white tunic who terrace with him the Unverseds with ease.
"These toques almost turned me into moussaka!" The little man said as he approached them.
"If you kept showing off too..." Said the young man.
"We did not ring you! You'll understand when you'll be older." The little man said bitterly.
"And stronger... enough to become a hero." The young man said sadly.
"Do you think being strong is the same as being a hero?" Aqua asked.
" This, yes ! Terra is very strong and he is the champion! Said the young man surprising Aqua.
"Say, pretty you... are you free tonight? I trained a lot of heroes, you know. I could tell you my exploits?" Asked the little man dredging Aqua.
"I'm sorry for you, but I already have someone." Said Aqua pointing at Aaron who has his eyes made it clear to the little man that if he tried again to flirt, he should invest in a grave. "And you know Terra?" She asked.
"Of course, he's the hero everyone's talking about. On, I see. You are two of his fans. Only for him... Terra here, Terra there. Terraplapla, yes!" The little man said.
"No, I just want to know where is." Aqua said politely despite the lack of respect that the little man has to show towards Terra.
"That's it, like everyone else in Greece! He came out of nowhere and won the first Games in which he participated. All the city was surprised. And then he went off as if by magic! Everyone says he's the best, a real hero." The little man said almost without hinting jealousy at Terra.
"I can not wait to match him." The young man said.
"Yeah, that's it. So much so that he made his last opponent barjo." The little man said.
"Be nice, Phil." The little man said, giving the name of the little man.
"We must have missed it." Said Aaron.
"Hey, not so fast! In is not there right now, but we never know, maybe he'll come back for the Games." Phil said.
"Yes, he must defend his title." The young man said.
"Maybe you'll see if any of you are involved too." Phil said.
"In the worst case, at least it will be fun." Said Aaron.
"In that case, you're going to register. We're not even sure he's still here." Said Aqua unwilling to fight for the pleasure of spectators.
"Then I will register you for the Games myself." Phil said.
"Well, register me at the Games. My name is Aaron, and this is my Aqua girlfriend, delighted." Said Aaron introducing himself as well as Aqua.
"Likewise. Well, for starters let's get back to basics..." Said Phil, before being interrupted by Aaron.
"I don't need a coach." Said Aaron.
"Must I still sign you up, is that it? Meet me in the lobby when you're ready." Phil said angrily before leaving to sign it up.
"Do you have an idea in your head? Aqua asked.
"If Unverseds have appeared here, chances are there are some in the tournament." Said Aaron.
"It's true." Aqua said before she and Aaron entered what appeared to be the Coliseum and Aaron started the tournament as Aqua watched in the stands.
He went through all the fights with one hand in the back and a bewildering ease, until the final approached and he was allowed to take a break for this preparation.
"More than the finale." Said Aaron.
"Do you have an idea in your head? Aqua asked.
"If Unverseds have appeared here, chances are there are some in the tournament." Said Aaron.
"It's true." Aqua said before she and Aaron entered what appeared to be the Coliseum and Aaron started the tournament as Aqua watched in the stands.
He went through all the fights with one hand in the back and a bewildering ease, until the final approached and he was allowed to take a break for this preparation.
"More than the finale." Said Aaron.
"So, here's the topo. The games are divided into two branches, that of West and East. The winners of each branch compete in the championship game. Here is the branch of the East. I don't know what's happening on the other side, but maybe Terra is fighting in the West Branch." Explained Phil.
"Next time brief us before we talk about registration. Said Aaron.
"Listen! I scored two tocards at these games, which were picked up. I have a reputation to defend, me!" Phil says as Zack and the young man look at each other.
"Well, I'll finish what I started." Said Aaron.
"Really? The gods are rented. I'm waiting for you in the hall. I'm waiting for you in the hall." Phil said, before leaving.
"I hate this guy." Said Aaron.
"You say that just because he dredged me." Aqua said with an amused smile.
"No, I say that because he's cunning." Aaron said looking at his gloved hand as if hesitating.
"His going?" Aqua asked.
"Yeah. Don't worry." Said Aaron.
"A fight between you and Aaron? I don't want to miss that!" Said the young man.
"Out of the question! You have to train!" Phil said.
"Oh, that's right... good luck then! And see you later." The young man said before going to train.
"Give all you have." Zack said to Aaron.
"You too." Said Aaron.
"I am at liberty." Zack said.
"Tell me. How come you know Terra?" Aaron asked.
"He saved my life. During the last Games, a guy called Hades tried to make Terra his slave of darkness and he used me to get there. He used a kind of magic that drove me crazy and gave me strange powers that I turned against Terra. And Terra released me. And without appealing to darkness!" Zack explained.
" This is a good thing." Aqua said.
"Come on, enough talk. See you in the arena, OK?" Zack said before entering the Coliseum.
Aaron got up and walked to the Coliseum followed by Aqua who went to the stands as he went to the arena where Zack was waiting for him.
"I promised Terra to face him in a loyal way." Zack said, unsheathing his sword.
"The friendship between boys... I'll be almost jealous." Aqua said in the stands.
"On guard!" Said Aaron holding his right Keyblade up, facing him.
The finale began then and Aaron faced Zack with a hand in the back as with the others. Zack was tougher than the others, but using the same technique as facing Terra in their first fight while placing his new free hand behind his back. But Zack showed more resistance than Terra, but ended up being disarmed before being kicked into the chest causing him to lose the fight.
"Argh, I lost!" Zack said before getting up. "I have to stop being bad if I want to become a hero." He said before a man with gray skin and a blue flame as a hair wearing a black toga held by a skull medallion appears.
"It's you?" The man said as he saw Zack. "I was going around to see who was the next big thing. And that then! It is rather talented in addition to having a very beautiful girl to see it won." He said advancing before his head was only inches from Aaron's.
"Get out of my personal space Hades." Said Aaron.
"He has a respondent. I like you. If you need an agent call me." Hades said mocking him.
"Since you tried to get my friend Terra into the darkness, I'm going past." Said Aaron.
"It was a wet chicken. You see potential." Retorted Hades.
"Dixit the one who hires people to try to stumble someone like a coward." Said Aaron.
"Tell me, why do not you show me what courage is, then?" Hades said.
"I'm not interested in this shit." Said Aaron.
"Poorly polite... A little "No, thank you, my Lord" would have been enough. But I will have the chance to reduce you to dust. It's me you'll face. And darkness me... I have plenty!" Hades said, before disappearing.
"Come back, Hades!" Zack said before Hades disappeared. "If only I could face this guy... Aaron, you have to take revenge, Terra and me!" He said visibly angry at Hades.
"I expected to do it." Said Aaron, before walking over to Aqua to hug him and whisper something in his ear. "I'll have something to show you after this fight." He whispered before returning to the arena and Zack sat next to Aqua.
Aaron waited for Hades, who reappeared a few minutes later as the sky became nocturnal, the arena gained a mauve hue, and icy cold weather fell on the arena.
The ground began to shake as an ice giant stepped over the walls of the arena to enter as Hades appeared.
"I never talked about a duel." Hades said.
"It's not fair, Hades!" Zack said.
"Is it the rules?" Aqua asked.
""Rule 2: Fighters can call for reinforcements." You should call yours, kid." Hades said.
"No it will not be necessary. I can fend for myself!" Aaron said, motioning for Aqua and Zack.
He faced both Hades the ice giant with some difficulty, but decided to use a faster fighting style so as not to be hit by Hades while attacking him and attacking the ice giant's legs. The fight ended with victorious Aaron and Hades and the ice giant disappearing from the arena.
"Fool of Hades... I'll get it next time. By the way! You're champion now! Must celebrate!" Zack said.
"Sorry, but we have something important to do before. When it's settled, we'll celebrate it. Promised." Said Aaron.
"OK. So we see each other later. In the meantime, I'm going to train." Zack said, before leaving.
"So what did you want to show me?" Aqua asked.
"For that, we have to go to another world. Follow me." He said before he and Aqua leave this world to go to the Keyblade necropolis...
In front of Ava's grave, what did Aaron do?
Aqua looked at the grave and quickly deduced what it was.
"This is where the person you killed is buried. Aqua asked.
"Yes." Replied Aaron.
"Why did you show it to me?" Aqua asked.
"Read what is written on the Keyblade." Said Aaron what Aqua is doing.
"Here lies Ava. Master of the exemplary Keyblade, and a fair friend. She was your Master?" Aqua asked after reading the inscription on the Keyblade.
"No. She is a Keyblade Master who participated in the Keyblade War. I knew the whole story of this war from the beginning. I sought to know his fate, which was unknown to me. I found him having succumbed to darkness after years of resisting it with his old friends having succumbed, killed those who entered here." Aaron explained, deciding to reveal the truth to Aaron.
"Why did you hide this from us?" Aqua asked.
"And not only. I have two other important secrets. The first is that I killed Xehanort." Revealed Aaron shocking Aqua.
"Why did you do that?" Aqua asked shocked.
"It's related to the second thing I'm hiding from you. In my world all that is happening in the worlds where we went and can go apart from mine its fictitious. I knew what he was preparing. And I wanted to stop it." Said Aaron looking down at the floor not wanting to look at Aqua.
"What was going to happen?" Aqua asked Aaron backing away.
"The most monumental brothel ever seen. Terra being owned. Ventus trapped in an endless sleep waiting for his heart to be returned... You trapped in the world of darkness for 10 years before succumbing to it." He said before starting to cry about the latest revelation. "I wanted to change that so much. Give you the opportunity to be happy. I'm sorry for hiding all this from you." He said before approaching Aqua, who stepped back abruptly, frightening him.
"I need time to think about it." Aqua said before revealing his armor and leaving quickly with his Keyblade glider leaving Aaron alone and remorseful for some past actions.
