Kairi, following a new trail of the Fallen, soon came to a new world, and decided to land outside the city to avoid suspicion. When she got closer, she could see how much that this world, like its architecture was based in Ancient Greece, as Kairi learned in her classes at Destiny Islands. She also knew that such a world would be occupied by gods, so she would be careful with what she did.
While walking around town looking for some trace of the Fallen, soon reached a large courtyard surrounded by walls, with a huge building at the bottom of it, and two huge statues of gladiators facing each other, and on the way to the entrance had statues of the Greek gods, as if they observe people entering the building. For descriptions of Sora, Kairi soon found she was in Olympus Coliseum, where Sora participated in tournaments in the past. After meditating for a while, Kairi thought that nothing would happen if she joined one, as that basically deal expected something different, even if are Heartless.
Upon entering inside, she found a small hall with two shelves with trophies in both racks. Kairi looked at them and saw that they had the same names: Sora, Goofy and Donald. This made it clear that they were really here in the first Heartless incident. Only were found in hall three people, or something. One was clearly a short, plump bearded faun in the face. Another was a girl around her age, blonde length hair to the shoulder; blue eyes; and she was dressed in a red and black blouse; white pants with very high brown boots covering beyond the knee; and a pair of brown and white gloves; and seemed to have a katana strapped to her waist. Kairi noted that on the skirt's blouse seemed be iron plates. She wouldn't be surprised if she had more armor hidden in her clothes. The other was clearly was also around her age, or more seeing that this was an elf for her pointed ears. She had a long blonde greenish hair reaching to their legs; equal to her eyes; green and blue blouse; blue and white skirt; white armbands with a red stone in each; two long white boots with a red stone in the top of them; and a pair of fingerless gloves on her hands. Although hidden by hair, seemed to have a bow, but no where to place the arrows quiver. What really caught her attention was the elf's breasts, which were somewhat larger than both, which meant she had a bit of envy for it, but at least not noticeable.
The two girls seemed to have a heated conversation but Kairi could hear the conversation.
"What do you mean you can't get us into any of the posts in the tournament?" The blonde asked him.
"I have told you!" The Faun said. "Groups of one and two members are complete. Only you could enter as a group of three. "
"Well then get us there!"
"Look, girl, my words are three." The Faun said clearly. "You are only two."
Kairi had a little mess to count the number of words.
"You could at least find some way to participate, right?" The elf asked, as trying to convince the faun. "By the way, that's four words."
"Sorry, rules are rules!" The Faun said. "The last time I skipped the rules, Zeus ended up giving me a bolt in the butt, so, no."
"Mrgrgr..." The blonde growled angrily. "Damn horned faun." She said and turned around, passing by without noticing Kairi and left the hall.
The elf tried to speak with the faun, but this one looked as he somehow expected her to convince him, but it was clearly useless when asked. "Something more, Miss?"
She sighed when she saw no choice and left as well. Kairi thought of talking to the faun, but after saw what happened, she decided to leave the idea for now and left the room.
Out he found the two girls. The elf was leaning on one of the statues, while the other was walking in circles angry. Kairi imagined she sprout smoke from her ears.
"Argh, that damn stubborn tadpole faun...It can be more stubborn? Mrgrgr..." The girl said angrily, kicking one of the statues of the gods, and this seemed to be newly placed, as it fell to the ground, breaking, although she didn't care.
"Hey you, wait a moment!" Rang a voice from the side, causing the three shall look upon one side. "Yes, you, the blonde haired girl, I want tell you a few things!"
Who addressed them was clearly a man with blue skin; blue flames instead of hair; a long black robe with a skull as a brooch; and smoke coming out of the foot, as an extension of the skirt. Clearly a lot like the statue that the girl dropped to the floor with the kick.
"You see dear, did I come to your world, and I get to destroy the statues or belongings of your father?" The stranger god said.
"Who cares, weirdo? Do not you see I'm mad?" The girl said.
He coughed a little. "Well, I better give you a small, but important, tip on how to treat a god, especially me." She said calmly. "WATCH YOUR TONGUE!" Suddenly said angrily, turning his skin red and head's flame turned red too, covering part of his body with flames, causing the girl stepped back with shock. "If you don't watch your tone with me, I'll rip your tongue here and now, tadpole!"
Without warning was heard the sound of an arc stretching. Both turned their heads to the elf, who was pointing both, or rather the god, with her bow and blue magic arrow. Kairi wasn't believed after see how the elf just took the bow and with the other hand created a magic arrow from nowhere and said to them. "Leave her alone, okay?"
"Listen, dear elf, why not calms down a little?" The sinister god said while returning from its previous color. "You could cause problems with that bow if you shoot the wrong person."
"An advice coming from who is with the League of Villains." Kairi said approaching them, capturing their attention. "I'm wrong, Hades?"
"What?" The god Hades asked confused. "How do you know that? And who are you? "
"You may not remember me, but you saw once in Radiant Garden, Hollow Bastion when it was called." Kairi said. "I do not remember because I was 'away', but Sora has told me about you."
"Sora?" Hades asked, until he got the memory on the head, pounding the palm of his hand with his fist. "Ah, now I remember! You're the Princess of Heart! The one Maleficent brought and the silver-haired boy! "
The two girls looked at Kairi surprised at this revelation, as if they knew over what was a Princess of Heart.
"Yes, so I suggest you leave them alone, or if no you will see that Sora isn't your only pain in your divine ass." Kairi said materializing her Keyblade, being now Wishing Lamp, more surprising the other two.
"Oh, hey, hold your horses, okay? We were just playing." Hades said trying to be funny. "Look, no hard feelings, you see?" Hades rubbed his hand on the head of the blonde, although not thoroughly enjoyed it. "I don't think this is needed, right?"
"Needed what?" Another voice sounded, this time from the entry courtyard.
"Oh, great, that's just what I needed." Hades said putting his hand on his face.
Then came a really high muscular man; short brown hair and blue eyes; carrying a large brown breastplate; Greek skirt of the same color; leather bracelets on his wrists and two legs brown sandals. Hades sighed as he approached.
"Leave me alone, Jercules, I'm having a ridiculous situation, and doesn't want you to turn it worse." Hades said.
"Well, you should left now; my father is looking you to discuss the tournament." 'Jercules' said to Hades.
"Okay, okay, I understand." Hades said and looked at the three girls. "I'll be watching, okay?" Hades said before disappearing in a flash.
"Candle head." Said the girl, suddenly Hades appears beside her. "I HEARD THAT!" Hades yelled before disappearing again.
"I hope Hades hadn't caused problems." Said the man as he approached them, and looked at Kairi. "You're Sora's friend, right?"
She was surprised by the question, but nodded. "Yes, I am Kairi. How do you know?"
"Very simple. I don't know many people who carry a Keyblade around." He said. "By the way, I'm Hercules, son of Zeus and great hero of this world."
"I thought so." Kairi said approaching, remembering the stories of Sora.
"I suppose, and who are these girls who were able to make lost his cool to Hades?" Hercules asked. "Clearly they're not of this world like you."
"My name is Edea Lee, and I am the daughter of the Templar and Marshal of Eternia's Duchy." The girl, Edea, said.
"My name is Rena, and I'm a sniper elf of Elrios." The elf, Rena, said.
"And how you came here?" Kairi asked. Neither could answer that question, as if came to this world was for something that was slipping from logic. While considering that the worlds were separated, the ignorance from the reason was logic. "At least you could tell me why you're here, right?"
"Let's say we had heard of this tournament, and wanted to participate to see how it is." Rena said.
"But that stubborn faun tells us we can't enter the tournament unless we were a group of three because the other places of fewer members were occupied!" Edea said.
"I know that, I heard your conversation before." Kairi said.
"True, Phil tends to be a little stubborn, but he knows his stuff. These tournaments are no laughing matter. "Hercules said.
"Do you know this shorty faun?" Rena asked, surprised.
"Sure! He is my trainer. Moreover, Philoctetes is the best trainer of heroes in the world." The hero explained.
"He, being a trainer of heroes?" Edea asked, disbelievingly.
"Well, you are now talking with one of his apprentices." Herc said.
"Message caught." Edea said looking away.
"I wanted to participate, but after what I heard, I decided to abandon the idea." Kairi said.
Hercules thought a moment. "I think I have the solution, follow me." He said and walked into the coliseum, and the three girls followed him, confused about his idea.
Inside they found Phil reviewing some things in the hall.
"I'm back, Phil." Herc said cheerfully.
"It was time. I need your help with some things. The tests for the tournament were a bit disastrous as you saw and we have to fix some things." Said the Faun and turned, surprising to see the girls. "You again! How many times must I tell you that you can't participate due to lack of places? "
"You don't said nothing to me." Kairi commented.
"Phil, I spoke with them, and I think they could participate if the three are involved in the same team."
"Huh?" Asked the three surprised.
"You're kidding, right, big guy?" Phil said. "I am somewhat aware of two of the girls, but the other I have no idea who she is."
"My name is Kairi and I'm Sora's friend." Kairi answered.
Philoctetes looks her with a raised eyebrow, watching. "Wait a minute, you, are you Sora's friend?" He asked and she nodded, making Phil to laugh. "That's a good one!"
"But it's true, look!" Kairi said before revealing Wishing Lamp to Phil.
Then it became more serious. "Seriously, do you think you're the only one who can use that?" Phil said. "Like Sora, I have seen several users that weapon. One of them appeared six months before Sora came back here; and other three about eight years ago. And now that I think, where will they be now? "
"Anyway, I don't think will happen nothing if they participate in the same team. Also, if something happens, we can get them out of here in case of danger." Hercules said trying to reason with hi trainer.
Phil looked thoughtful for a moment, walking in circles, until it stopped. "Okay, okay, the three may participate. But I willn't take responsibility if something happens, okay?"
"Got it!" Hercules said as a Edea gestured a sign of achievement with her arm.
"And you're lucky, will soon begin the tournament, so when you are ready, speak with me." Phil said.
"But if we are ready, old faun." Edea said. "We can start anytime."
"The sooner the better." Rena said.
"I don't mind waiting, but if my new teammates want start, I'll not stop them." Kairi said looking at his two new companions.
"Okay, I will explain the rules." Phil said, pulling out of who knows where a blackboard with scribbles. "The rules are simple. Each of the groups will face a number of groups of monsters we have prepared in each round. If you lose against a group, you will be disqualified. If all goes well you, you'll be facing one of the participating groups, and whoever wins, moves to the next phase, and so on to the end, whatever is a monster or another participant. Have you understood?"
"Absolutely!" Edea said.
"Like crystal." Rena said.
"It will be good to fight a rival, or at least, against the Heartless." Kairi said as the other two nodded.
But both remained silent again to see Phil's face as a gesture of 'really?' "Now, how is it that you have not knew it yet?" Philoctetes asked.
"As Sora told me, Heartless are normally the rivals." Kairi said.
"Normally yes, but the problem is that this world has entered into a state on which the Heartless can't come in this world; and therefore we can't use them for the tournament." Phil explained.
"And what will use in their place?" Edea asked.
"Well, before we had no idea, but soon someone came to the gods and gave them an alternative, which we use in the tests for efficacy. I think they're called Fallen or something." Phil thoughtfully said.
"Fallen?" Kairi asked, taking a step back in surprise. "It can't be!"
"Are you sure of what you saying?" Edea asked.
"Yes, that is the name by which they are called." Phil said.
"Do you know them?" Kairi asked to Edea.
"We may not know how it is that we are not in our worlds, but we do know one thing. Those things have a lot to do with this!" Rena said.
"My world has been been recently visited by those things. And when I tried to figure out what they were, wham! I ended up here." Edea explained.
"I, for my part, I don't like these creatures, but are orders of my father and the other gods." Hercules said.
"Included Hades?" Kairi asked.
"Well, not exactly, but he doesn't like anything he can't control or manipulate. And how those creatures don't like to obey his orders, you see. "
"And you know who has convinced them to accept these monsters?" Rena asked.
"We don't know. I just know that will be watching the tournament, but sure will be in the shadows." Phil said. "But you are not the first to ask that."
"Really?" Kairi asked.
"Yes. A blonde girl in a black coat, and a character as scary as Hades, was asking about the Fallen, and when she heard what I said, she enrolled in one of the places of 'lonely' we had." Phil explained.
"Elerna..." Kairi commented thinking in the description. "Sure she is."
"You know her?" The faun asked.
"I met her in person at Radiant recently, and just know she is looking at the heads of the Fallen." Kairi said. "Maybe, Shaft may also be here, or maybe..." She began to think about the possibility. "... One of the Three Dark Wives."
In a dark area of the Coliseum, a figure hidden in the shadows waiting impatiently to start the tournament, until suddenly a small glow, coming from a little fairy appeared, without illuminating the shadowy figure approached it.
"I do not know how you knew, but the girl that you have described is here." The little fairy said.
The only answer was to see a pair of snake eyes in the dim shadow of darkness, along with a sinister smile showing four fangs, similar to a cobra.
