Author's Note: Most of you probably know already, but it's been offically confirmed that KH3 is coming out in 2018 next year!...unless they announce it's delay to 2019, but let's keep both options open until either one will be true, but I am SO happy that they finally gave us a release year!
And Toy Story is also confirmed as a world in the game as well, with a new story set between Toy Story 2 and Toy Story 3, meaning it's KH exclusive. I might be adding it. Just ignore this if I do decide to add Toy Story into this.
I don't own Kingdom Hearts or Final Fantasy.
CH4: Set on a new Journey.
Just when they thought it'll take days before they actually reach Mount Olympus, Sora, Kairi, Ven, Mickey, Donald, Goofy and Jack, while having taken out more Heartless through out the valley that had a river which to be coming from the top, the group finally arrived at the mountain slope that seemed perilous, but that didn't bother any of them. From where they were, they could tell they were getting closer, because light was dimly shining through the mist of clouds above them. Though a few flashes of lightning could be seen once and a while, and the closer they got, the more they could hear tale signs of battle, which meant only one thing.
"Sounds like trouble." Mickey said, his eyes narrowing both with worry and anger. Worry because he was concerned about Hercules and Zeus and the other Gods. Anger because he could already tell that enemies were up there, which meant more Heartless.
"I hope everyone's alright." Kairi said, worriedly.
"What do you propose should we find that we're not allowed through where the gods live?" Jack asked, not looking forward in meeting the almighties. His biggest concern was that due to being a Pirate, he would most likely be punished.
"You're asking us?" Donald responded in annoyance, glaring at the pirate. "We can't read minds!"
"I never said you did." Jack argued.
Sora, with his mind on helping one of his good friends as well as figuring out how to handle Chaos and Bhunizelve should the latter ever awaken, responded, "Well, whatever we do find, I think we'd better hurry."
"D'ya think we should knock on their door if there is any?" Goofy asked, shrugging.
"I don't think we'll know 'til we actually get there." Ven pointed out.
But before they could continue on, there was a sudden lot rumble that nearly made everyone lose their balance, as rain began to pour, the sky slowly beginning to darken above them, and then there was a loud roar and huge tremor, coming from behind. When Sora and his friends quickly turned around to see what was going on, they felt a sudden chill coming from the ledge just a few meters from where they were at moments before, followed by a large icy hand appearing, grasping at the hill before being joined by another. The two giant skeletion-ice hands then pulled up a familiar giant ice Titan who roared, and at the moment, oblivious to the shocked group, continuing up it's way through the mists and didn't stop. It was soon followed by the Rock Titan, seemingly larger than normal, but slower to make it's way up.
"What in Gods name are they?" Jack exclaimed, horrified. These giant things were just as terrifying as Davy Jones' eight-tentacled giant fish.
"The Titans!" Sora, Donald and Goofy exclaimed.
"I thought Zeus locked them up last year!" Mickey added, shocked.
"Care to explain?" Jack asked.
"From what Sora told me and Riku, the Titans are evil and dangerous." Kairi explained, backing away a little by two steps. "Hades used them at the Coliseum a few times through the past nearly three years."
Sora grunted as he summoned his Keyblade, knowing that Hades had something to do with this. "Looks like Hades is definitely at it again!"
"Oh, bugger." Jack grumbled.
None the less, the others responded by summoning their weapons once more and took fighting stances with Ven declaring boldly, "We can take 'em!"
"Can't we just negocite with them?"
"No." Sora, Kairi, Ven, Mickey, Donald and Goofy all responded, giving their pirate companion annoyed glares, in which Jack, knowing that he was outnumbered, decided to forgo his cutlass since he felt that it would be useless, and instead, summoned his own Keyblade with slight difficulty considering that he hasn't fought with it before. On the other hand, his cutlass would most likely be snapped in half and rendered completely useless against a giant...moving rock with two heads.
Unfortuntely, more Heartless appeared surrounding them in their path, which meant that they had no choice but to fight them as well. Which was what they did with combinations of their usual combo skills, swordsman skills, ect. as Sora then led his friends up the path as they fought, hoping to catch up to the Rock Titan and slow it down so that they could reach Mount Olympus before it was too late.
Sora then noticed the Rock Titan pulling itself up onto a flat large ledge, making it look like it was ruling everything and gritted. Nodding to himself, he turned to his friends and told them, "You guys handle the Heartless! I'll try and slow that guy down!"
Despite the protests, Sora then concenrated and soon glowed in blue light, before rushing towards the wall and then leaped up, running up towards the Rock Titan who gazed down and for the first time, noticed one of it's old enemies racing up straight towards him. Not impressed, the giant Titan then grabbed hold of part of the wall behind it and pulled out a large boulder, before tossing it down towards Sora who saw this coming and spun out of the way while careful not to lose his footing. He was nearly hit a few times and nearly fell, but the young Keyblade Master refused to back down.
He then flipped upward the rest of the way and then tossed his Keyblade right at the Titan's leg, causing it to roar in agony before moving to punch him with it's rock-fist. Sora dodge-rolled and then chanted Blizzard at it's face before being knocked back and hit the wall when it whacked him. It was a hard collision, but Sora, while feeling a huge bruise forming on his body, rolled out of the way before it could grasp him. He then used his powers of Flowmotion once more, leaping onto the Rock Titan who was struck by confused shock when it saw the teenaged boy do this. It attempted to strike him again, but Sora was well prepared, colliding his Keyblade at it's fist which knocked it back and nearly caused it to stumble backwards.
However, it successfully caught Sora off-guard and tossed a smaller boulder right at him, causing the Keyblade wielder to be shoved back and flown back, crashing near the edge of the platform, and nearly knocked out. Sora grunted as his body felt sore and stiff, barely even having enough strength to use Cure on himself. He'd forgotten how difficult fighting Titans were, despite having recently become a Keyblade Master. But he couldn't give up now. Everyone was counting on him.
While Kairi and the rest of the group were fighting off the Heartless on that below, as she slashed the Heartless she was fighting against in half and caused it to vanish into darkness, she suddenly sensed and then heard Sora's scream, causing her to quickly look up and gasped in horror when she saw him being knocked out, calling out his name. Before she could even think of what she was doing, as her friends were very important to her, considering how he tried to save her from the Kracken just mere days before, she took off onto thankfully a path leading up towards the platform, despite the others seeing what she was going and shouted at her to stop.
"Donald, Goofy!" Mickey quickly began his command, "Go help Sora and Kairi!" once he, Ven and Jack quickly found themselves enclosed by more Heartless which blocked both Donald and Goofy from reaching the three of them.
Despite the great worry for their king and two friends, Donald and Goofy quickly knew that the three of them can handle themselves, while Sora was knocked out and needed them, and Kairi was putting her own safety at risk and didn't even think. Her main concern was Sora, and he needed her. In the end, the two friends nodded and then raced as fast as they could to reach their other two friends to help them as quickly as possible.
Kairi managed to reach the platform and gasped as the Rock Titan was about to crush one of her dear friends into paste, much to her horror. "SORA!" She screamed.
This exclaimation caught the Rock Titan's attention as it paused in it's attack, before turning to gaze at the Princess of Heart who realised that it was now quickly paying attention to her. Despite the sudden fear a the scary two-headed rock giant monster, Kairi stood firm as she held a tight grip on her Keyblade, doing her best not to be afraid.
"You leave him alone!" Kairi commanded, glaring at it. She had to keep Sora safe and get to him without getting killed herself. She quickly chanted a blizzard spell at one of the heads, and while it did small damage, it still causing distraction enough for her to race towards Sora while jumping forward to avoid it's gasp while it slowly recovered.
She reached him just as Sora pushed himself up with his elbows, before sitting on her knees and cried out, "Sora! Are you okay?"
"Kairi? What are you-?" Sora began, shocked that Kairi had actually come up when now was a bad time for her to be here, and he quickly became worried for her safety while she quickly used Curaga to heal most of his injuries and restore most of his strength.
But he wasn't able to continue the question when the Rock Titan made to attack again and Sora was caught-off guard when Kairi pushed him out of the way and was about to follow, only to be grabbed by the iron-like right hand in a strong grip. She struggled with all her might against the titan, but it's grip was too tight as it lifted her to it's chest level, much to Sora's horror, as well as the horror of Donald and Goofy who saw this just as they arrived onto the platform.
Before Sora, Donald and Goofy could do anything, the Rock Titan punched the platform which caused it to shake before it began to crack. Sora, Donald and Goofy only had enough time to grab onto the ledges of the wall while down below Mickey, Ven and Jack jumped out of the way to avoid in becoming buried in the small but still dangerous rockslide.
Laughing lowly and evilly, the Rock Titan then turned and climbed up to the rest of the way of Mount Olympus, with Kairi captive in it's grasp in one hand while the other was used to make it's way up.
"Let me go!" Kairi shouted as she continued to struggle, glaring up at the Rock Titan, though she was becoming very afraid now. "Let, me, go!"
"Kairi!" Sora screamed out in horror, watching helplessly as Kairi disappeared up through the mist, trapped in the grasp of the giant rock monster. She was captured and taken away from him yet again! And this time, she risked her life to save him from getting killed, and all he could do was punch at the wall in strong guilt. It was his fault that she sacrificed herself.
"We gotta save her!" Goofy cried out, worriedly.
Donald, seeing Sora's guilt-ridden expression, rushed over towards him and grabbed him by the shoulders before shaking him while yelling, "Come on, Sora! Snap out of it! We can't save Kairi if you're sitting there blaming yourself!"
Sora shut his eyes and forced himself not to give into the sudden anger or do anything stupid like push Donald away, forcing himself to calm down. He was right. Now wasn't the time to blame himself. Kairi was now in danger and along with Hercules and the other gods, needs to be rescued. Pantining, Sora opened his eyes nodded.
"Right...Sorry." Sora muttered, smiling weakly in his gratitude to his feathered friend for snapping him out of his guilt-trance.
As Sora stood up with Donald sighing in slight relief and worry and Goofy joined them, the trio glanced at each other before joining hands as they did when they first met in Traverse Town, before quickly racing the rest of the way up as fast as they could. Though flying past over them was a black carriage and as the trio looked up, their eyes narrowed as they spotted Hades inside before gasping in shock and horror, as with him, were Riku and Terra, tied up and gagged.
"Riku! Terra!" Sora cried out, horrified, before feeling fresh anger. Of course Hades had to go capture two more of his friends and had caused the Titan's to return, which he quickly realised that something must've happened to Aqua and Skuld in the Underworld. "That lowlife's gotten way too far!"
"How are we gonna get there fast now?" Goofy asked, worriedly.
Fortunately, just as Hades and his captives disappeared through the mist above, Sora and his two companions heard a familiar horse whinning and out from the clouds came a familiar white horse with wings and blue mane descending towards them. When Pegasus saw three familiar faces, he whined happily before landing near them.
"It's Pegasus!" Donald exclaimed happily and relief. It seemed that Pegasus either managed to escape or was sent by Hercules to call for help.
"Great timing!" Sora greeted, before requesting, "Hey, do you think you can carry us to Mount Olympus?"
The horse nodded before gesturing the trio to climb on. Sora, Donald and Goofy jumped onto Pegasus before the four of them took off through the mist faster now than they would've if they had to continue climbing, intended on saving their friends from the God of the Underworld.
Down below, as Mickey, Ven and Jack cleared the way more Heartless while having noticed what just happened and having been horrified that Kairi had been captured, when the trio saw the flying horse descend and then carried Sora, Donald and Goofy the rest of the way up by flight, Mickey smiled in relief, while Ven was amazed and Jack was dumbfounded in having seen Pegasus for the first time.
"Wow!" Ven gapped, stunned.
"...Horse." Jack said, blankly. "It was a flying horse."
"Oh, that was Pegasus. He's Hercules close pal since they were babies. Zeus gave Pegasus to them as a present." Mickey explained, attempting to get most of the confusion from Jack's expression.
Captain Jack Sparrow still held a blank expression, before finally getting the point and nodded, half-understanding. "Oh. Well, out of all the unusual things I've seen so far...I'd rather the horse."
"I've never met Pegasus before." Ven admitted, "Hercules sure is pretty lucky."
"And speaking of the lad, I suggest we get a move on just in case Sora and the others still have trouble. Savvy?"
"Right." Mickey nodded in agreement, "C'mon, fellas!"
The king then led the Keyblade wielder and the Pirate Captain up further while battling more Heartless along the way, and so another huge battle was about to take place.
Meanwhile, Roxas, Xion and Myde had no trouble in getting to the Underworld, even though Myde was complaining about it constantly.
"Seriously..." Myde grumbled, "You guys are such workacholics."
"Well, if you weren't just as lazy as Axel was, it wouldn't have been a problem." Xion replied. Feeling the pressure, and luckly just in case they did had to come here, Phil had given all three groups the Olympus Stones which Xion holds one and as Riku did earlier, she held it up and the stone's light then covered her, Roxas and Myde, restoring their strength back to normal.
As soon as that was done, the three of them then all heard a familiar deepening growl, coming from the slightly opened doors to the path where it led to Hades' Chamber. The three former Nobodies shared a worried glance before slowly crept their way towards it. As soon as they did, they could hear familiar voices, grunting as though they were struggling, one of them being muffled, though. As soon as the trio carefully peaked through, they could see why as their eyes widened in shock.
Cerberus was still guarding the captured Aqua and Skuld who were both still struggling against their bonds that Hades left them trapped in, and dangerously close to becoming the three headed dog's meal.
"We have to get Aqua and Skuld away from that thing." Xion whispered, careful so that Cerberus couldn't hear her. She was good in combat, but she doubted she was actually ready to take on Cerberus, given the Kracken's attack back in the Caribbean.
"Easier said than done." Myde whispered, quivering at the sight of it. He still gets nightmares from the three-headed mutt that was the pet of the Lord of the Underworld and had hoped to never have to encounter it again.
"How are we gonna get through that thing and free Aqua and Skuld at the same time?" Roxas whispered worriedly. On top of that, Meg was still most likely trapped in Hades' main chamber, so obviously Terra, Riku, Aqua and Skuld didn't even get that far before Hades captured them.
Xion closed her eyes to think quickly before a memory came into mind as well as an idea, before tugging Myde's vest, and whispered, "Myde, you still can make clones of yourself briefly, right?"
"Yeah...why?" Myde asked slowly, hesitating. Whatever Xion had in mind, he had a feeling he was part of her upcoming plan.
"If you can make a single clone of yourself and have it lead Cerberus away, we can rescue Aqua and Skuld and then find Meg before heading back to help Lea, Isa, Gladio and then Sora and the others." Xion whispered.
"Good idea." Roxas whispered, already getting what his best friend was planning, before adding to Myde, "So that way, you don't have to risk in becoming Cerberus' dogfood."
"Sounds kinda easy." Myde admitted once he thought about it. Plus, as Roxas said, he wouldn't have to confront the three-headed dog at all. He then stood back a few paces and summoned his styer, declaring, "Leave this to the professonal."
Unaware of their three rescuers, Aqua and Skuld still struggled and pulled at their bonds, but at that point, they were only hurting themselves. It didn't help when Cerberus still hasn't left, and was still growling softly at the two trapped young women. Aqua, while still struggling against the chains, felt her heart ache. Terra and Riku had risked everything in order to keep her and Skuld alive, and blamed herself for it.
Maybe the phantom of herself in the realm of darkness was right. Maybe Aqua wasn't worthy of being a Keyblade Master after all and Master Eraqus had made the huge mistake in naming her Master, when she'd still been inexperienced just as Terra had been. That very thought made the aching in her heart worse and tears began to form despite doing her best to force them back.
To her and Skuld's horror, Cerberus's stomach then growled so loudly that it sounded more like a monster's roar, and now the three-headed Guardian crept closer to them, no longer able to keep it's distance and now were approaching the two helpless Keybearers for an easy meal.
"No, please, stop!" Aqua pleaded, renewing her attempts to free herself, as was Skuld, but they were trapped, and had no hopes of escaping. As Cerberus now towered over them, the two could only close their eyes and as terrified as they were, they were helpless. 'Terra...Ven...everyone...' Aqua thought in her mind. Just when she'd finally been reunite with them, she was about to become seperated from them once more, this time forever.
"Yo, doggy!" A familiar voice called out. "Over here!"
Cerberus paused in what it was doing, such as it's right head was just two inches from engulfing Aqua in just one gulp and would've then just eaten her and swallowed her whole. Fortunately it didn't happen. It turned around to see, to it's displeasure and Aqua and Skuld's shock, Myde standing there near the entrance where the two women, Riku and Terra had come from earlier. Something was odd about him, though, because rather than being terrified out of his mind, he made taunting faces at the Guardian.
This made Cerberus see red in fury, as it roared at Myde who shrieked and then made a run for it, with the three-headed dog giving chase, much to Aqua and Skuld's horror. However, just as the duo exited through the gates, the two women then heard him call out, "Ha! Sucker!"
Half a second later, yelping and roars of agony along with clashes, hits and whacks, along with sounds of water and blizzard echoed the entire area until Cerberus admitted defeat and came back in, before continuing on through the tunnel and yelping in terror before it's cries faded. Aqua and Skuld were stunned in shock and confusion. What in the world just happened?
That was answered as Roxas, Xion, and surprisingly, two Mydes appeared, until one of them turned into water and disappeared, the real Myde sighing in relief.
"Glad it was the clone and not the real me." Myde muttered, wiping sweat from his forehead.
"Roxas! Xion! Myde!" Aqua sighed, as the three of them approached her and Skuld while she asked, "Where are Lea and Isa?"
"They're back in Thebes defending the town from a giant Heartless Hades sent." Roxas explained as he and Xion used their Keyblades to unlock the bonds that kept the two women trapped, freeing them. "Gladio's helping them too."
"We saw that he captured Riku and Terra too." Xion added, "And I can see why. That mean bully."
"Hades forced them to join him in order to me and Skuld safe." Aqua confirmed, "He caught us off-guard, and we didn't even get the chance to reach Meg."
"Considering how the chick's not here, that explains everything." Myde nodded, before shuddering, "Though my guess is that she's history if she's really stuck here."
"No, we're not leaving until we rescue Meg." Roxas said firmly with determination.
"Should you get back to Thebes?" Skuld pointed out, concerned.
Xion smirked, "Lea and Isa will be fine. They don't go down that easily. And I have a strong feeling Gladio's just as strong."
Roxas nodded in agreement, "They'll be fine." before adding as he gave Myde an annoyed look, "It's Myde I'm worried about."
"Then let's make this quick." Aqua finally decided. "We'll rescue Meg, and then we'll help save Thebes, and if we're fast enough, we'll head to Mount Olympus to help Sora and the others and save Hercules, Riku and Terra."
The others nodded in agreement(despite Myde's whimpering), and the five of them raced through the tunnels of the Underworld to rescue Meg, fighting off more Heartless as they went.
Kairi was still struggled against the tightening grip of the Rock Titan that currently has her trapped in it's massive giant hand and if calculated right, to the giant rock monster, she was no taller than it's thumb, if not two inches shorter. She could hear thunder booming, and then suddenly screamed when a lightning bolt nearly hit her. As she gazed up when the Rock Titan emerged, it was coming from a glowing muscular man with white hair and beard, blue eyes, orange skin and purple robes with one strap with a gold medallion on it. He was glowing and she guessed that he was a god.
There were other people all glowing in different colours, and to her shock, were fighting a large army of Heartless that didn't seem to end. Among them was a young man who was the only one who wasn't glowing. Despite not having met him, Kairi instantly knew that it was Hercules who kept on fighting the Heartless and was now busy taking on the Ice Titan.
The Rock Titan, with it's left hand as it's right was still holding Kairi captive, tossed a boulder at the gates, violently smashing it into pieces before stomping it's way through. To her horror, the Ice Titan then began to freeze the other Gods and actually knocked Hercules back, causing him to crash into his father who tumbled into the pillar behind him.
'No...' Kairi thought, desperately, renewing her attempts to escape. By then, she saw that the Ice Titan had now captured the powerless Hercules and Zeus in it's icy grasp and slowly began to freeze them.
"Well, this turned out a lot better than I expected." An unwelcoming familiar voice called from the clouds. Kairi, Hercules and Zeus looked up to see Hades flying above them, and to her horror, were the captured Riku and Terra who were just as horrified and guilt-ridden to see her trapped as well. "First I managed to get the two best guys better use for darkness by threatning little bluebird and raven-girl, then my Titans obviously finished off the Keyboy and his friends, and now I've finally finished off Wonderboy and Zeus and got the princess as a beauty prize!"
"You won't get away with this, Hades!" Hercules shouted, shivering violently at the cold while struggling to free himself, but by then he'd become exhausted due to having spend a lot of time fighting for the last two days without rest.
"Sora wouldn't give up just like that!" Kairi exclaimed as well, still struggling. "Once he and the others get here, you'll regret it!"
"Oh please, Princess. Hate to disappoint you, but they're all dead by now, and I even probably got that other redhead and his buddies down to count as well, along with that other guy-Gladio, was it?-who probably isn't as tough as he claimed to be." Hades laughed, while creating a dark throne for himself that it materalized, and shoving both Riku and Terra to the ground as they were still captive. "Besides, I got the best two warriors of darkness to fight along my side, so I hope they enjoyed their freedom."
Zeus narrowed his eyes angrily at Hades, demanding, "Let those you people go Hades, this is your final warning!"
"Or what? What'cha gonna do, toss a frozen bolt at me?" Hades smirked, "Few years ago was a failed attempt, but this time, I'm the victor here, and not even your sunspot brat can stop me!" materalizing a drink for himself as he took sastifaction of his ultimate victory. All of the Gods, the two warriors of darkness and the Princess of Heart were captured, the Keyblade brat and his friends are gone, the heartless were doing their jobs, and Zeus and Hercules were powerless. What could possibly go wrong?
Too bad he spoke too soon.
"No, but we can!" A familiar voice suddenly shouted. Hades nearly choked and spun around, his eyes widened in shock as Sora, Donald and Goofy came parrelling through the gates on Pegasus's back. Those three brats were here, still alive!? Hades thought the Titans had actually killed them!
"Sora!" Kairi cried out, relieved.
"Sora! Donald! Goofy!" Hercules cried out, relieved as well.
"So they are the new true heroes." Zeus muttered, relieved. He knew what the boy and his friends had came here for, but at the same time, followed their hearts in rescuing those who needed them.
Sora and his two companions then leaped from Pegasus's back and descended to join the battle. Donald casted Firaga at the Ice Titan's head, which melted parts of it and causing it to roar in anger, which gave Hercules a chance to punch his way out and shattering it's arm, while Zeus blasted the other arm and it's left leg with another Thunder Bolt, freeing the father and son. Hercules then didn't waste time in using his sword to break the chains on the other Gods which disappeared instantly, and one of them, a blue skinny god named Hermes whacking Pain and Panic, the two minions, with his stick. Sora and Goofy both whacked at the Rock Titan's heads, distracting it enough for Kairi to wriggle loose and jump down. When Sora landed on the ground, he unconsciously and surprisingly caught Kairi in his arms that nearly made him lose his balance.
The two blushed heavily when this happened before Sora gently lowered Kairi who stood after she was put down, and smiled her gratitude at one of her best friends. The two of them, Donald and Goofy quickly then raced away from the Rock Titan before it could capture them, and they hurried to where Riku and Terra were. Sora and Kairi then raised their Kingdom Key and Destiny's Embrace, the beams of light from the weapons hit and disintegrated the smoky chains from their two friends, forcing Hades to poof away before he could be attacked.
"Are you two okay?" Goofy asked, worriedly.
"Yeah, we're fine." Terra replied, lowering his head in guilt, as did Riku. "I'm sorry. Riku and I had no choice. This is my fault."
"It's okay. None of us blame you." Kairi told him kindly. "You only did it to keep Aqua and Skuld safe."
Sora nodded in agreement, patting Riku on the shoulder. "I would've done the same thing."
"Thanks." Riku smiled.
"Besides, this is all Hades' fault this happened!" Donald added.
"Hey, Pegasus is usin' those two as punchin' bags." Goofy suddenly said, pointing at the the side where the horse had Pain and Panic caught by the tails and used his front legs to punch them like boxing bags.
Hades by then appeared in front of the group along with Hercules who quickly joined them. "HOW DARE YOU!? This is utterly unfair that you guys have beaten me AGAIN!" Hades roared, fully red and yellow in sheer anger which returned to their normal colours, but he was still furious.
"Nobody likes a sore loser, Hades." Both Hercules and Sora chorused.
The Lord of the Dead was about to retort when the Titan's panicked roars echoed, which caused him to turn and see to his shock that Zeus had blasted two Thunder Bolts at the Rock Titan, smashing away it's heads and rendering it headless and the Ice Titan, seeing this, made a quick exit...only to be caught in the crossfire of fire magic and then fought along with the Rock Titan by the timely arrival of Mickey, Ven, Lea, Isa, Roxas, Xion, Skuld and Aqua, while both Myde and Jack who also arrived focused on getting rid of the Heartless.
"Sorry to keep you guys waiting!" Lea greeted with a wave, before leaping out of the way to avoid in getting hit by an ice attack by the Ice Titan.
This allowed Sora and the others to try and attack Hades who moved out of the way before he blasted a jet of flames right at them. The group dodged the attacks before both Sora and Hercules charged and knocked Hades back by the combination of the Latter's Godly Spheres of light and Sora's Keyblade whacking them to weaken the God of the Underworld.
Realising that he was out-numbered with so many and that the Titans had been defeated and the number of Heartless quickly decresing, which was added by a newcommer, a pirate who, shockingly, was also a Keyblade wielder, Hades growled before teleporting away and by the far end of the area, while the Titans were weakened once more but stood by the God's side.
"This isn't over yet!" Hades warned, "Next time, I'll finish you brats!" before poofing away along with the Titans, which also had all of the Heartless disappear for now.
"Phew! Sure glad they're gone for now." Mickey sighed, before quickly adding cautionly, "But we'd better not push our luck."
"Very ill tempered, that what I assume is Hades." Jack commented, before asking in slight confusion, "And why is his hair made of blue fire?"
"I don't think you wanna know, because I certainly don't." Lea shrugged.
"Where's Gladio?" Xion asked, worriedly.
"He'll be fine." Isa responded, "We managed to defeat the Heartless in town and he told us to go on ahead. I don't think we should be worried."
"Is everyone alright?" Aqua asked, worriedly, becoming relieved when all of her friends replied that they were perfectly fine.
"Aqua? Terra? Ven? Is that you?" Hercules spoke up, catching sight of three old friends he hasn't seen in twelve years and was quite shocked. "You haven't changed a bit!"
"Good to see you too. You sure grew up fast, and stronger." Terra greeted, even though he hasn't known Hercules as long as everyone else has.
"So you made it? You're a true hero now, right?" Ven asked, eagerly wanting to know as he greeted his old friend with an arm-pat who smiled in return.
"For a few years now." Hercules replied.
Aqua smiled warmly at Hercules who had grown from a young boy into a brave and strong young man. "I'm really happy for you, Hercules." She replied, quickly adding, "And don't worry, we saved Meg. She's at the Coliseum with Phil."
"That's a relief." Hercules sighed, with feeling. He then caught sight of the newer additions and while he was surprised to see Roxas, Xion, and Lea again as well, it was Isa, Jack, Skuld and Kairi he didn't recongise.
After a few introductions to the newer members of the team along with Kairi, Mount Olympus was fixed up instantly thanks to the power of the Gods, before Zeus took a seat at his throne, gazing down at the young mortals who had helped to save their world and kingdom, while happily greeted Mickey who still showed respect for his old pal. Sora and the others felt a little nervous and imitidated to be the pressence of the Gods.
Zeus cleared his throat before standing, and despite of the imitidating aura, he had a kind smile. "I would like to thank all of you for all that is done today." He adressed to the group. "All of the gods and I give you our graditude."
Sora and his friends smiled at this. It wasn't often that they would be thanked by one as powerful as any mortals.
"Now then, is there anything I can do for you?" Zeus asked the group. Sora shared a glance with his friends, and while most of them were hesitated though knowing that it had to be done, Jack was gesturing his head in a silent saying to go on and say what they came here for in the first place. The Pirate nodded at Zeus several times.
Finally, Sora decided to say what they wanted, and carefully began, "Sir...it's sort like this..." and explained the situation that was happening.
When it came down to Chaos and Bhunivelze, the group braced themselves to be yelled at. Instead, all they rechieved were shocked and slightly horrified expressions. In the end, Zeus muttered with a serious frown, "So Bhunivelze was behind all of this right from the beginning. I should've know."
"Zeus, who is Bhunivelze and what did happen?" Mickey asked carefully to his old friend.
"He is one of the most dangerous Gods never meant to be released." Zeus explained, "Unlike Hades, Bhunivelze's goal may be similiar, but he has the power to kill all of us Gods and trick anyone with vulerable hearts to do his bidding with false promises. He is extremely powerful and dangerous."
"Doesn't sound any better than most villians we're facing." Jack grumbled sourly in disappointment.
"So how did he get defeated a long time ago?" Roxas asked to Zeus.
"A young woman from a certain world, along with her sister and allies, fought against Bhunivelze with the strength they found. She goes by the name of Lightning." Zeus explained, "From my understanding, Bhunivelze had used her and turned her into a demigod to take place of Etro. But she turned against him once she realised the truth."
"And there's nothing there can be done to stop him and Chaos if Bhunivelze does come back?" Sora asked.
"I can't, Sora. But you and your friends can." Zeus answered, which filled hope immediately right into the hearts of the companions. "If you all prove yourselves to all worlds, everything will be alright, and by your hands, Sora, the Realm of Light will be returned to peace."
"Okay, got it." Sora nodded, smiling.
"Uh, just exactly how do we do that?" Myde asked, confused and dumbfounded.
"First, you must find Aced. His heart is in a dark place, and if he is not stopped, then he will only make things worse." Zeus instructed.
The group nodded. At least they were getting somewhere, so this adventure wasn't as different as any of their previous ones. Mickey smiled warmly at the King of the Gods, "Thank you, Zeus."
"Any time, Mickey." Zeus laughed.
"I guess that means you're leaving already, huh?" Hercules thought with an emotional smile.
"Don't worry, we'll be back." Sora promised, adding, "And we'll bring Cloud and Zack with sometime soon when everything's back to normal for a match!"
While Hercules was surprised to hear that Zack was alive, he smiled none the less, looking forward to it. After a fond farewell, Sora and his companions left Mount Olympus and silently returned to the Gummi Ship after Sora locked the World's Keyhole to keep it safe from Darkness for the time being, with a promise to return for an update and just in case Hades would show up again.
For now, the group's goal was to find Aced and stop him from doing anything too drastic, as well as make sure Yen Sid, Angeal and Genesis were alright.
A/N: Sorry that the ending of the chapter wasn't as good, but in this story, Olympus Coliseum will be sort of like Radiant Garden, Traverse Town and the Mysterious Tower. The next world will be given what I think, so I'm not sure which one to do next, and before any of you ask, I'm sorry to say, but I'm not taking any requests and no, I'm not using any other contents. This is Final Fantasy and Disney world contents only.
See you in the next chapter as soon as I'm able!
