Chapter 36: Wrath of the Titans

Sora barely ducked out of the way of an attack from Lightning's sharp blade, escaping with only a shallow cut on his arm. Donald quickly healed him before firing blizzard and fire spells at her and Goofy shielding him as more thunder attacks rained down upon them. With a flick of her wrist her blade transformed into a gun as she fired rapid bullets at Goofy's shield. Odin was figting against both Hercules and Cloud; with his expert use of his double-bladed sword, he was proving to be a challenge for the two to handle. Even with Hercules's god-like strength and Cloud's soldier training.

As Sora blocked another of Lightning's sword attacks, he noticed she was becoming more and more frustrated. And speaking from experience, he knew this battle was about to take a turn for the worst. She snarled at her opponent, a dangerous look in her eyes. A swift kick to Sora's abdomen caused him to tumble backwards into Donald and Goofy as the trio fell to the ground. While Lightning backflipped in front of Odin with her hand slowly raising into the air.

The trio pushed themselves up to their feet and Hercules and Cloud rushed to their side to make sure their friends were alright. As Cloud looked up at Lightning, his eyes widened at what Lightning was doing, while the others looked at her in confusion.

"Get ready!" Cloud exclaimed, holding his sword in front of him.

"Why? What's she doing?" Sora asked, following the soldier's lead and raising the Keyblade.

"She's activating her eidolon's limit! And believe me, this is going to hurt!" Cloud's words had proven to be painfully true. Odin let go of his sword before jumping up into the air and transforming into a golden, mechanical horse and landing back on solid ground. Lightning nodded to the giant before picking up the previously discarded sword, jumping on his back and pulling apart the sword so in her hands were two golden, curved blades.

"We'll carve out a new fate!" Lightning exclaimed before both she and Odin rushed into battle again. They fearlessly attacked their opponents with sharp, deadly swipes from the swords and violent kicks from Odin's hooves.

Then, Odin came to an abrupt halt. Lightning stood up from her position on his back before jumping into the sky and spinning around in the air. Dark pink rose petals rained down on them as they felt the blades do their damage even though they weren't touching them.

"The storm is here!" Lightning exclaimed as she landed on solid ground with both blades behind her back. The team of five all felt a sharp pain to their chests as they were all forced to their knees as the final blow of the limit. Lightning stood up, putting both ends of the sword back together and handed it to Odin who disappeared in a flash of light and rose petals.

Knowing that she won, Lightning turned to the weak, fallen forms of her opponents. They were all out of potions, Donald and Sora were all out of magic to use any more cure spells and were too weak to do anything to fight back. Lightning drew her gunblade once more and pointed it at Sora's throat, the young Keybearer gulping in fear.

"Lightning!" Cloud pleaded to his childhood friend, "Don't! This isn't you! What happened to the Lightning who knew and fought for what was right?!"

"Sorry, Cloud." Lightning replied emotionlessly. "But people change." She raised her blade and the young man winced and closed his eyes, expecting the worst.

"STOP THE FIGHT!" A voice screamed just before Lightning could cut Sora down. West and Lea, carrying the crystallized Serah rushed into the arena. Lightning snapped her head open and her eyes widened at the sight of Lea.

"Lea?! What are you doing here?!" She demanded.

"Saving your rear!" Lea exclaimed, setting Serah down in front of him. At the sight of her sister, Lightning's eyes widened as she dropped her gunblade in shock and rushed over to the crystal statue, dropping to her knees. West took the opportunity to distribute stolen potions among the fallen, and ethers to Donald so he could help by using his curing magic.

"Serah?" Lightning gasped, tears starting to well up in her eyes. "This can't be! Hades said she was dead!"

"That's why you accepted Hades's employment?" Hercules realized, pushing himself up to his feet. Lightning slowly and sadly nodded her head.

"He said he could bring Serah back. He said that she hadn't been crystallized; that she'd been killed instantly." Lightning replied, hastily whipping away her tears. "He said if I fought in the games and destroyed you that he'd bring Serah back to life and that he'd get rid of my curse as a l'cie."

Cloud knelt down beside his childhood friend and placed a comforting hand on her shoulder. "That's the thing about Hades, Lightning. Trust me, he always lies. I speak from experience."

"Where's Riku?" Sora asked West and Lea, noticing his friend's absence.

"Hades took him." West snarled, pounding her fists together. "He wants Riku to use his Keyblade to free some of his 'friends' for him. When I get my hands on that no good piece of-"

"The Titans!" Hercules realized. "It's the only thing he'd need a keyblade for! How could I not have seen this?! Of course he'd try this again!"

"We gotta get up there and stop him!" Donald agreed. Hercules nodded his head before whistling into the sky. A second later, Pegasus flew down and landed in front of Hercules, whinnying with excitement. Sora followed his lead by activating hs armor and summoning his keyblade glider as both Donald and Goofy jumped on with him.

As Sora looked back, he saw Lightning still kneeling in front of her crystallized sister. For the first time, Sora realized how much pain Hades really caused her. It was like when he met Cloud, Leon and Auron for the first time. They were all tough on the outside from first appearances, but then they revealed the reason behind their bitterness was because of something traumatic happening in their past.

"Lightning?" Sora asked as Lightning turned to face the young keyblade master. "Why don't you come with us?" As soon as the words left his mouth, the rest of his team stared at him with their eyes wide and mouths open in complete shock.

"Are you kidding me?!" Demanded Lightning, standing up and crossing her arms over her chest. "I tried to kill you not even five minutes ago and you already forgive me enough to go on this mission with you?! Are you always this trusting?"

"Look, I can tell you're not a bad person." Sora replied. "And I know we won't be able to win this alone. Everyone deserves a second chance, even you. And even if you are a le gee or whatever, that's not a good enough reason to just leave you. Sometimes bad things happen to good people; but things will only get better if we help them."

Meg and Phil strode into the arena and stood beside Serah's crystallized form, smiling at Lightning after listening to Sora's words. There was a moment of silence until West spoke up.

"Wow, Sora. When'd you become the voice of wisdom?" West giggled, playfully punching him in the arm.

"Hey, you say that like I shouldn't know better." Sora laughed as the group turned back to the young woman, awaiting her response. Lightning muttered something under her breath and remained silent, before finally rolling her eyes and looking at Sora.

"I must be out of my mind." The soldier scoffed, reluctantly shaking hands with Sora. "Alright, I'm in. But I want Serah protected."

"Can I trust you guys to take care of her sister?" Cloud asked Meg and Phil who both nodded their heads encouragingly.

"Don't worry, we won't let anything happen." Meg replied in a reassuring tone. Lightning seemed a little concerned with leaving her sister, but gave a nod of satisfaction. She still looked just as determined as the others to go fight Hades.

Hercules, West and Lea all jumped on Pegasus. While Lightning placed a hand over her heart allowing the crystal to resurface, and allowing her to resummon Odin. The summon reappeared before her in his horse form as Lightning jumped on to his back. She then held out her hand for Cloud who looked at her questioningly before taking her hand and being hoisted behind her.

The newly formed team of eight took off to the skies with intense speed, heading straight for Olympus and the battle that awaited them. I hope we're not too late, Hercules thought as the mountain leading up to the kingdom of the gods came closer and closer into perspective.

~*KHIII*~

The golden doors violently burst open, announcing the arrival of the Titans. Kairi, Mickey, Max, Zeus and the rest of the gods took their stances, but nothing could prepare the princess of heart for what stormed through the entrance. Four terrifying deadly giants all representing different elements.

One was made out of heavy armor-like stone with two heads growling at the scene before it. Another was an ice skeleton with deadly sharp claws and teeth. A third was a huge pile of moving lava that drowned and burned everything in its path. The last one was literally a giant tornado with two big, scary red eyes.

The Rock Titan brought down a fist towards Kairi who quickly jumped out of the way and fired a blast of fire magic at one of the heads, dealing a little damage. But then as its attacks grew more aggressive, Kairi was having a hard time keeping up. The Ice Titan stormed in next, shooting sharp ice shards at the gods. Max managed to deflect some of the attacks, but it was starting to wear him down. Mickey and Zeus were firing blasts of light and thunderbolts at the Lava Titan but no matter what they did, it didn't seem to take any damage.

Meanwhile, the rest of the gods were left to fight against the Wind Titan. They weren't even five minutes into the fight before the Titan raised its tornado arms, sucking in and capturing all the other gods like an over-powered vacuum. Now Zeus and Hermes were the only gods left standing.

Mickey and Zeus were still trying to fight off the Lava Titan, but were still unsuccessful. the god of thunder was becoming angrier and angrier. As Zeus reached behind him to grab another thunderbolt, he gasped in shock when he felt nothing.

"I need more thunderbolts!" Zeus roared at Hermes.

"Uh, Hephaestus has been captured, my Lord. Everyone's been captured-" but before Hermes could finish, Pain and Panic appeared out of nowhere and grabbed him by the legs. "I've been captured! Hey, hey! Watch the glasses." Hermes screamed as both Hades's minions dragged him off.

"Things aren't looking too good for us, guys!" Max exclaimed, jumping out of the way of another attack from the Ice Titan.

"Got that right, dog boy!" A voice roared through the clouds. The team's heads all snapped up to find Hades flying in on his dark chariot. Kairi's eyes widened at the sight of one of her best friends tied up with dark smoke chains behind the Lord of the Dead.

But before anyone had a chance to react, the Rock Titan grabbed her, Mickey and Max in a strong grip in its giant hands. The trio struggled with all their might against the Titan, but it's grip was too tight and painful.

Then, both Lava and Ice Titans towered over a defenseless Zeus before releasing their respective elemental breaths on him from both sides. Creating a mountain prison for the king of the gods. Zeus struggled with all his might, but even with his godly strength he was trapped.

"Riku!" Mickey gasped, struggling against the Rock Titan's grip. "What happened?!"

"Mickey, I'm sorry." Riku responded guiltily. "I didn't have a choice."

"To think, all it took was threatening freckles's pathetic life and Riku here jumped on the band wagon." Hades laughed.

"You'll never win!" Kairi exclaimed as she kept struggling. "Once Sora, Cloud and Hercules get out of the Coliseum, you'll be sorry!"

"Yeah, sure. Hate to disappoint you, princess but that's not going to happen. Right about now my champion should be finishing off that fight and giving the crowd a good show! Now that Hercules has his little army separated from him, getting rid of worder boy's going to be a piece of cake. Gotta say though; I'm a little disappointed Cloud turned hero. Me and him worked so well together!"

"Cloud Strife is a true hero on the inside, Hades. The same goes for the young lad, Sora, my son and the rest of their team." Zeus snarled as both Titans continued their work.

"That's right!" Mickey agreed. "We won't be backing down anytime soon!"

"Well, we'll see if your hero-complex stays after Maleficent's done with you pipsqueaks." Hades replied after creating a dark throne for himself out of black smoke and shoving Riku's captive form to the ground. "Hope you enjoyed your freedom. I know Xehanort's going to love what we dug up for him when he gets back."

"Wait! Xehanort?!" Riku exclaimed. "What are you talking about?! What do you mean, he's coming back? How's that possible?! Both Ansem and Xemnas are gone!"

"Sorry, kid. No spoilers." Hades smirked. As he looked towards his brother, he saw that Zeus was in a burning rage. If it weren't for the combined powers of the Ice and Lava Titans, then the king of the gods would have been attacking Hades with everything he had.

"You've gone too far this time, brother. I swear to you, Hades, when I get out of this-" Snaled Zeus before finally being entirely covered.

"I'm the one giving orders now, bolt boy. And I think I'm gonna like it here." The Lord of the Dead replied victoriously, feeling the satisfaction of finally achieving victory over Olympus. All the gods and world-travelers were captured, Zeus was powerless, Hercules and the spiky-haired brat would soon meet their ends, the heartless were doing their jobs and he was sure to be back in Xehanort and Maleficent's good books. What could possibly stop him now?

"Don't get too comfortable, Hades!" A voice suddenly roared from behind him. Hades spun around and his eyes widened in complete shock at what he saw. All the nuciances Hades thought he'd dealt with were charging into Olympus battle-ready, including Lightning.

The team burst through the gates and dismounted. Odin and Sora's keyblade armor vanished while Pegasus flew on ahead to help free the gods. They all raised their weapons and charged into the battle ground, Goofy being the first to deal any damage.

"Hey you big bully!" The knight exclaimed, lifting up his sheild. "Leave Maxie alone!" Goofy lifted up his shield and threw it at the Titan like a frisbee. The shield hit the Rock Titan directly in one of its heads, distracting it long enough for Kairi, Max and Mickey to wiggle loose and jump down.

Goofy didn't hesitate to wrap his arms around Max in a fatherly embrace as soon as his feet touched the ground. Though Max found it slightly embarrassing, he was still relieved that his dad was okay. Hercules wasted no time in sprinting towards the makeshift mountain his father was trapped in, followed by Cloud and Lightning.

Sora quickly scanned the area, before running towards Hades and the bound Riku with West, Mickey and Kairi hot on his heels. Hades snarled at the group of four, but before Sora could attack the god with his keyblade, he vanished in his signature black smoke. Kairi raised Destiny's Embrace, the light from the weapon disintegrating the smoke chains that had held Riku prisoner. Riku barely had a moment to breathe before West toppled him over in an attack-hug.

"Are you okay?!" Riku demanded, grabbing her shoulders and pushing her away from the hug, looking for any sings of injury.

"Riku, chillax already, I'm fine. What about you?" West replied as they both stood up.

"I've been better." Riku admitted before turning to the king. "Mickey, I'm so sorry; this is all my fault."

"No one blames you, Riku; you did what you had to do to keep your friends safe." Mickey replied.

"Yeah." Sora agreed, patting his friend on the shoulder. "It's what I would have done." He looked at Kairi as the last words left his mouth, blushing slightly.

Meanwhile, as Cloud and Lightning knocked away the Lava and Ice Titans, Hercules climbed to the top of the frozen lava mountain. Digging his fingers into the substance, Hercules summoned all his strength to break apart the mountain. Golden light erupted from the cracks and Zeus emerged from his former prison, embracing his son happily.

"Thank you, my boy." Zeus smiled. However, their reunion was cut short; Hades rose in front of the group looking angrier than he ever had before.

"WHAT?!" Hades roared, becoming covered in red flames. "HOW COUKD YOU IDIOTS HAVE STOPPED ME AGAIN?!" The red flames slowly faded, but Hades still looked just as mad as he turned to Lightning. "And you, missy. What about our deal?! You want that sister of yours to stay and rot in the Underworld?! What the heck, babe?!"

"Sorry, but I'm not interested in fighting for you; especially not when I found out you lied to me about Serah's fate and ending my fate as a l'cie!" Lightning snapped, pointing her gunblade threateningly at the god with a thunderous spirit clearly visible in her eyes. Hercules and Cloud stood strongly beside her, Sora running beside them and raising Kingdom Key.

Hades' eyes widened in surprise for a second before snarling and boiling in rage at the heroes in front of him. "Alright! That's it! This is the last straw! You've all just won a one-way ticket to the Underworld! For real this time!"

With a snap of his fingers, a barrier appeared around the god, Hercules, Cloud, Lightning and Sora. Trapping them in a makeshift arena.

"Sora! No!" Kairi exclaimed, rushing up to and pounding her fists against the barrier trapping Sora with the god of the underworld. Hades wasn't going to hold back; and he had four Titans on his side, could Kairi actually loose Sora? No, they couldn't, not when we've come this far, she thought. She could't loose him.

Just then, Riku ran up to her and pulled her out of the way of an upcoming attack. Kairi had been so deep in thought that she hadn't noticed that the Rock Titan was trying to crush them. Kairi rolled out of the way of an attack from the Ice Titan, coming beside the rest of her teammates who all had their weapons raised and prepared to fight against the four Titans.

"Zeus needs to free the other gods." Mickey quickly explained. "And with Sora, Cloud, Herc and Lightning trapped, we'll have to deal with the Titans."

"Awesome." Max grumbled sarcastically. "Remind me to thank them later for giving us the hard job."

Riku was about to retort to Max's comment before he was interrupted by the Lava Titan spitting boiling lava in their direction and the team screaming and dodging the deadly molten rock. The four Titans all unleashed their respective elements on the eight world-travellers who all kept dodging and healing until they were all separated and facing up against a Titan.

Donald and Mickey ran in front of the Lava Titan but had to rapidly move around the space as the Titan spat small, hot balls of fire and lava at the duo. One hit Donald's tail and the duck howled in pain as hit tail feathers erupted into flames. Thinking quickly, Mickey used a water and a cure spell to put the fire out and heal his friend. The Mage boiled with anger and in a rage, cast a blizzard spell at the Titan. The spell hit the Titan in the chest causing it to stumble backwards. Discovering ice magic as its weakness, Donald used all his magic in casting his strongest blizzard attacks. Mickey used his magic to heal both himself and Donald and sent beams of light magic towards the Titan. Clearly not amused at the thought of being beaten by a duck and a mouse, the Lava Titan released a loud roar and raised an arm dripping with lava and swiped at the duo who jumped out of the way at the last possible second.

Lea rushed towards the Ice Titan with Max following closely behind. The ex-nobody wasted no time in throwing his chackrams at it, causing it to stumble slightly but still not cause too much damage. The Ice Titan took in a deep breath and blew a clod wind with sharp icicles at the two. Thinking quickly, Max grabbed Lea by the back of his jacket and rode out of the way on his skateboard. As soon as Max dropped him off, Lea allowed both his chackrams to become engulfed in red-orange flames. He violently threw both weapons towards the Titan's chest, causing an intense amount of damage. Max used his skateboard to block icicle attacks being thrown at him and dealing minor damage worth his attacks to the Titan's legs.

West and Kairi soon found themselves trapped in a corner with the Rock Titan looming over them. But before the two-headed giant could grab them, the two girls quickly ran out from underneath the Titan's legs, confusing it. West used her quick attacks against the Titan's legs with Kairi using her Keyblade for stronger attacks. This caused it to loose balance, fall and become temporarily immobile. Both girls used this opportunity to jump up on to the Titan's shoulders and attack both heads with everything they had. Kairi and West attacked a head each. Kairi using light magic and general yet deadly attacks with her Keyblade and West using her knife to carve deep damage and quick, varied attacks. Just then, the Titan began to stir and Kairi and West quickly jumped down before it could deal any serious damage to either of them. Landing safely on Olympus's ground, Kairi and West raised their weapons again and rushed straight back into battle.

Riku and Goofy were left to deal with the Wind Titan. Both were having a hard time getting any solid hits in considering they seemed to move right through it. But still, the Titan was causing severe damage to both knight and Keyblade Master with Aero magic and throwing them around Olympus with its intense winds and tornadoes. Goofy quickly pulled out two potions, healing both himself and Riku from the deadly attacks. As a desperate attempt, Goofy threw his shield at the Titan. The shield hit the Titan directly in one of its red eyes as it released a howl of pain as the shield returned to its owner. Riku and Goofy nodded once towards each other and quickly got out of their opponent's eyesight. Both remained at a safe distance from the deadly wind while Riku summoned dark firaga and fired the dark flames at its eyes and managing to cause quite a bit of damage. Goofy kept throwing his shield at the eyes and defending himself and Riku from the wind.

~*KHIII*~

Meanwhile, while his friends fought against the Titans, Sora was running, dodging and rolling out of the way of Hades' violent attacks. The god looked even more determined than Sora had ever seen him on finishing off his enemies, and was firing beams of fire out of his hands at the group of four. The entire team found themselves exhausting themselves trying to stay out of the way of Hades's fury.

Hercules raised his fist, rushing to attack Hades but The Lord of the Dead was one step ahead of him. He shot a fire spell at the demigod's chest, knocking him clean off his feet. Smirking, Hades's entire arm exploded with more flames. The god flicked his wrist, sending the deadly flames at Hercules. However, before Hercules could be roasted alive, the fire was blocked by Cloud's heavy Buster Sword. The ex-soldier released a strong counter-attack upon Hades, leaving the god vulnerable for a short period of time while Sora and Lightning moved to attack him. Cloud quickly pulled out a potion and tossed it to his friend, who gratefully drank its contents. As soon as he was healed, Hercules stood up to his feet and nodded towards Cloud before they both rushed back into battle alongside Sora and Lightning.

Lightning athletically leapt straight towards Hades with her gunbade raised and unleashed a battle cry. In a fit of rage she swung her bade at the god, followed by her thunder spells and blasts of white non-elemental magic. She managed to cause some minor damage, but overall just made Hades angrier.

Snarling at the god, Cloud raised his sword up to his face. Taking in a deep breath, then pointing the buster sword at Hades.

"Give me strength!" Cloud exclaimed, rushing straight towards Hades with his sword raised. The ex-soldier skidded to a stop in front of Hades and attacked him with eight strong, violent, powerful strikes from his blade. "This is it!" Then, Cloud jumped up into the air, grasping the hilt with both hands before hitting Hades with one more, powerful blow on his way down(1).

The god snarled in anger and raised his hands in the air. Before anyone had a chance to defend themselves or even react, Hades turned red and the flames on his head grew hotter and taller. At first, Sora thought he was going to use his Flare attack like he had seen him use in the past. But he was completely unprepared for what happened next. A giant, fiery explosion erupted from Hades's body. It grew and grew into a dome of boiling fire as the team of four were soon engulfed in the flames.

The fire slowly faded away, revealing Sora, Cloud, Hercules and Lightning weak and practically on their knees due to the intensity of the attack. Hades smirked, knowing he had the heroes right where he wanted them And began to advance towards Hercules.

Thinking quickly, Sora pointed Kingdom Key at his friend and cast a quick cure spell to help Hercules get his strength back. What surprised Sora was that after his spell was cast, Hercules was getting healthier and healthier as though more than one spell was being cast upon him. Sora raised an eyebrow before turning around to find Lightning bending over in pain but casting a chain of cure spells at Hercules. She looked as though she was going to pass out from the exhaustion. Before Cloud, who looked just as weak, came up behind her and pulled her up to her feet. Sora quickly tossed both soldiers potions and cast his cure spells on both of them. Lightning gave him a quick nod before healing the young Keyblade Master as well, then the three of them rushed to Hercules's side to aid him.

Still, the god's attacks were focused on Hercules, who seemed to both cause and take the most damage. Finally having enough, the demigod brought his fists together and gained a bright golden glow around his body.

"You can't stop a true hero!" Hercules exclaimed. Within seconds, Hercules was ramming straight into Hades; a golden blur as he ran into him from all directions. Finally, Hercules came to a screeching halt right in front of the god. The son of Zeus pulled back his fist as it began to glow. The glow kept intensifying until Hercules rammed his fist straight into Hades's gut, knocking the gstable an across Olympus. "How's that for ya?"(2)

The final blow of Hercules's limit was enough to knock Hades off his feet. And with a final strike from Sora's Keyblade, he was clean out cold as the barrier surrounding them disappeared. Then Zeus, followed by the rest of the freed gods rushed into the scene, ready to finish off the battle. After grabbing a handful of fresh thunderbolts from Hephaestus, Zeus tossed them at the Titans. The bolts hit each Titan directly, causing them to be temporarily dazed along with an intense amount of damage, giving Sora's team a chance to run out of the way while Hercules made his move.

The demigod ran straight past Riku and Goofy and roughly grasped the Wind Titan's tail. He lifted the Titan with little effort and swung it around Olympus, sucking in the weakened forms of the three other Titans.

At that moment, Hades pushed himself up to his feet, his eyes widening at the sight of his defeated Titans. He was so distracted, he didn't even notice Lightning running over to him until it was too late. The l'cie pulled back her gunblade and slammed it into Hades's back, sending him flying straight into the Wind Titan. Hades screamed as the Titan's winds sucked him inside. Hercules kept swinging the Titan around until he finally let go, tossing them straight back into the prison they came out of. And with Zeus throwing one of his mighty thunderbolts; they were locked away once again with Hades as the ocean covered the prison.

The battle for Olympus was over and a victory on their part. But after thinking back to what Hades had told them, Riku had a feeling that the worst was yet to come.
