Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry for how hectic my weekend has been! Shout outs:

TheEighthLight: Well, I'm prepared! *Clears throat. Mist and Jason flank TerraKH as bodyguards. Vanitas looks at Mist. "No, not her!" he yells as Mist chases him away.*

AngelicWinds: My favorite is her "Terra, a noun meaning chaos" story. I'm so sad she's not on there anymore.

Celeron96: Thanks, and it's fine.

13TheAce: Yep, and I hope you like it!

TWI1GHTMAST3R: Lol, yep. I'm gonna explain right now.

So don't get mad, but I am altering the BBS timeline just a bit. Olympus Coliseum is now before Radiant Garden, for all four characters. This is to fit in a world that you will see later on and hopefully will like.

I own Jack, Jason, and Mist.

Chapter 21: Future Heroes.

"I never would have thought that I would make a new friend on a foreign world."

Jack flew toward the world. He landed in a small town. There were people bustling all over the place. Wherever he went, he heard whispers of "Terra." From what he gathered, Terra had competed in some sort of Games and became champion. He decided to head for the Coliseum to find out more about Terra's visit.

Standing outside the Coliseum was a little goat man whose back was to Jack. "Hey." Jack said to get his attention. The goat man screamed in shock and jumped into the air. He whirled around angrily.

"Hey, two words, pal: I. Know. Karate!" he yelled. Jack decided to not say anything about the man's math problems.

"Do you know people named, Terra, Ventus, or Aqua?" he asked. Phil sighed.

"You a fan boy or another Keyblader?" he asked. Jack summoned Wanderer's Call in response. Phil smiled.

"So, you know them, right? Yeah, Terra came through here first, winning the Games and becoming Champ. Ventus came through here and trained Herc to fight Zack. Aqua came through last and won the Games, too. Now it's just Zack and Herc in the Games." Phil explained. Jack nodded thoughtfully.

"Well, I'm Jack, their fellow apprentice." he introduced. The man smiled.

"Call me Phil. You look like you could hold your own in a fight, so I got something to ask ya." Phil replied.

"What's up?" Jack asked. Phil led the way inside the Coliseum.

"When Aqua came through here, there was this guy, Hades, who tried to destroy everyone. When she beat him, he told us to stay tuned and disappeared. I'm sure he's gonna come back, and Herc is still a rookie. Also, I don't want the fate of this whole world on Zack's shoulders. He's an alright kid, but he's still far way from being a hero." Phil explained.

"So you want me to protect the town from Hades. I think I can manage that." Jack said after a moment. Phil sighed in relief.

"Come on, I'll let you meet our two rookies." he said, leading the way into the arena.

A man with spiky black hair held a thin longsword out at another boy with a white tunic on. They were training fiercely. "Hey, rookies!" Phil called out. Both boys turned and walked up to them.

"This here is Jack, Terra, Ven, and Aqua's fellow apprentice. He's gonna guard the Games in case Hades decides to show up." Phil explained. Herc shook Jack's hand. Zack shook his hand next.

"So, you know Terra." Zack said excitedly. Jack nodded slowly.

"Can you tell him to come back so we can fight fair and square? He promised we would." Zack asked. Jack looked away.

"I can't promise anything, Zack." he replied. Zack sighed, but kept smiling.

"Alright. Hey, Herc, the Games are starting!" he called out. Herc jumped in shock and the two went to take their places.

Both boys crashed through the Games easily. They faced each other in the championship match. "You ready?" Zack asked. Herc nodded determinedly. Just as Phil was about to start the match, a tall blue man appeared in a puff of black smoke.

"Guess who's back, kiddies!" yelled Hades. Jack summoned his Keyblade and ran in front of the god. Hades looked down at him in annoyance. "Ugh, another one? C'mon!" he said irritated. Jack raised Wanderer's Call to Hades' chest. Phil got Hercules out of the arena, who was paralyzed in fear. Zack ran up to Jack's side with his sword drawn.

"Hades!" he yelled. Hades glanced at Zack and sighed. (The Encounter, Birth by Sleep)

"Fine, you two get to play the rematch!" he yelled snapping his fingers. The ground started shaking, as if some massive being was walking closer and closer. With a thunderous roar, a pink, one-eyed titan jumped over the Coliseum wall and stood behind Hades. The Cyclops was easily over fifty feet tall. Zack backed up a few steps, but Jack stood his ground.

"I've felled bigger enemies!" he yelled, thinking of the Darkside Heartless and the Specters. The Cyclops laughed loudly, and Hades began to glow red. Zack came to Jack's side.

"What's the plan, Boss?" he asked.

"Aim for the head!" Jack yelled as he charged. He rolled under Hades' heat blasts and headed for the giant. The Cyclops attempted to crush the rushing Keyblader by stomping repeatedly. Jack jumped at the right time each stomp, avoiding the shockwaves.

Zack ran up to Hades and jumped into the air. He landed with a crash, sending Hades flying. He smirked, until Hades disappeared in mid-fall and looked around warily. He suddenly felt a presence behind him and spun around, swinging his sword. Hades backed up to dodge the blade.

Jack jumped as the Cyclops stomped. He managed to sink his Keyblade into the massive foot and hold on. The giant roared in pain as Jack began scaling its body. He tried to swat him off, but Jack jumped onto his arm. As the Cyclops raised his arm to look at where the man was, it gave Jack the straight shot he needed. He sprinted up the arm and leaped, avoiding the other hand. He landed on its nose, right in front of the eye. Jack immediately charged up with Light. He saw the hand coming and waited. When the hand was a second away, he unleashed his Light projectile into the giant's eye and jumped away. The Cyclops got blinded by the light, but also punched himself in the face, knocking himself out. Slowly, he began to topple over. Jack came falling down. He grabbed Zack and threw him inside before heading in there too. Hades looked up as the sun stopped shining on him. He saw the giant falling on him. "Oh, crap." he muttered as the giant fell on him. (end The Encounter)

All four of them stood in the Vestibule. "Well, I owe you, Kid." Phil said to Jack. He turned to Zack. "Good work out there. You've improved a lot." he complemented. Zack nodded in thanks and began doing squats.

Jack turned and began to head for the door. "You're leaving?" Herc asked. Jack turned back to them and nodded.

"I still have a mission to finish." he explained. Zack stepped forward.

"Well, when you get a chance, could you accompany me to my home world? There's a lot going on there and I don't think I can handle it by myself." he asked. Jack looked at him curiously.

"What's going on?" he asked.

"My mentor, Angeal, went missing. I heard a rumor that he's working with a Soldier deserter named Genesis. Now me and Sephiroth are the only ones who can track them down. I need your help." Zack explained. Jack's eyes widened at "Genesis."

"I've met Genesis before. Long red coat, blood red sword, was going on some rant about "the Gift of the goddess….." he trailed off. Zack nodded immediately.

"That's him. I need your help." he begged. Jack finally sighed and nodded.

"As soon as I meet up with my friends, I'll come to your world." he decided.

"Oh, thank you so much! The name of the world is Gaia!" Zack said excitedly. Jack nodded and walked out the door. He knew where they would all be headed: The City of Light, Radiant Garden.

So you should all know what the next two worlds are! Hope you liked it!
