I don't own Kingdom Hearts or Frozen. They belong to Disney and Sqaure Enix. Okay, there are some disappointments of Jafar not begining apart of the big villians group. He's a great villian. I don't blame you. Problem is, I can't excatilty fit him in the main villians. One of these reasons is Sora found the lamp instead of Aladdin. There are a few other reasons but I don't want to spoil anything. We good? Okay, enjoy the chapter.
Chapter 24: Try outs
Hades grinned as the glazed upon green portal. Pete looked down, "By the by... What's down there?"
"Just the Underworld's deepest dungeon." Hades chuckled, "This time I'm bring out the mother of all bad guys." Pete wasn't entirly the Hades accatally ment it, he turned to see the Lord or the Underworlds evil girl. Pete walked back in fear by Pain, Panic, and the Beagle Boys, "You don't say?"
Hades the blasted flames into the darkest prison to release it's most dangerous prisoner. After a few seconds the smoke dispeared and a man with an arm the appeared to be in a sling. He turned to the cowarful villains before turning to Hades. Hades grinned, "Let's cut to the chase. Here's the deal I'm going to offer you. I'll let you out of the slammer...no strings...you'll be free as a bird. And all for one little job. Fight Hercules, in my Underdrome...to the death!"
The man glared at the villain. He locked himself down there so he wouldn't hurt anyone, untill he was ready to go to heaven, but then this guy set him free and brought him back..."This is my story. And your not part of it!" Auron exclaimed as he rasied his hudge sword preparing to strike down the villain. Hades just grinned, "Fair enough...although, free as the bird thing...not gonna happen untill Herclues is dead."
Auron wanted to strike Hades down but something was holding him back. His knees finally gave in as he kneed before the ruler of the Underworld. Hades held out a small statue of Auron and said, "Now, let's talk more about our agreement..."
Everyone watched as Sora and Riku dueled eachother with the base weapons. Most of them have complete Phil's test and only Kairi remained. So while the others waited Sora and Riku practiced some more by practicing their fighting skills. Anna was badly bruised and groaned, "How could any trails be so hard... I actually miss fighting the Heartless and Nobodies right now."
"Really? I excepted to be more of a challenge" Thor admitted as Stitch nodded. Anna rolled her eyes, "That's because you both were trained with your powers from birth. It's allot harder when your normal." Hercules added, "Actually that's not true either. I was born with super strength and Phil still gave me quiet a workout until he thought I was ready to be a hero."
"You know what? I'm just gonna change the subject. Phil mention that you are this world's hero and champion, what's got you down?" Anna asked. Herc signed, "Well..."
"Wonder boy was trick by Hades. While he was off to save me from Hades, he sent one of his monsters to attack the city." Meg replied, "Herc blamed himself for what happened ever scince. He doesn't believe himself to be a true hero." Thor crossed his arms, it sounded a lot like his brother would do, "And who exactly is Hades?"
"He's the ruler of the Underworl and brother to my father, Zeus, King of Olympus. He's been tying to take over the throne from him for a long time." Herc explained. Meg finished, "But Herc always stopped him."
"Wow, what is about taking over kingdoms by evil siblings. It's like the worlds are trying to tell us something." Kristoff stated as he looked at Anna. The princess shook her head, "Hans is nothing like that."
"Umm...Care to fill us in?" Meg wondered. Sora and Riku had finished their spare and decided to join the others. Sora explained, "My sister wants to marry someone she just met."
"Wait, you want to marry someone you just met?!" Herc asked in shock as Meg groaned, "It's like me all those years ago." Anna complained, "Why doesn't anyone listen to me?! IT'S! TRUE! LOVE!"
"No, it's not... Listen, Anna. Years back, I used to believe that too but I ended up working for Hades for a while because of a dumb chose I made from that man. He ended up running off with another girl." Meg explained. Anna quickly apologized, "I am so sorry...but Hans isn't anything like that..." Sora decided to take a nap as he heard the whole thing before. Maybe, these guys would have better luck...
Sora dreamed of Terra, Aqua, and Ventus again. He saw the two young adults stood at what appeared to be three thrones. Ven however stood to the side to watch the event. He noticed an old man on the throne stare at him with his yellow eyes. He was creeped out by this but quickly stood straight as a man in white rooms walked up before Terra and Aqua. He smiled, "...Today you will be examined for the Mark of Mastery. Not just one, but two of the Keyblade's chosen stand here as candidates but this is neither a competition, nor a battle for supremacy. It is not a test of wills, but rather a test of heart. Both of you may prevail, but neither. But I'm sure our guest, Master Xehanort, did not travel all this way to see our youngest prospects in years fall short of the mark." He turned to the two apprentices, "I trust you are ready?"
"Yes." They replied. The Keyblade Master rasied his Keyblade, "Then let the examination begin!"
Sora watched as the two went through the trials and completed them. Sora turned to the Master Xehanort and kept an eye on him. This was his birth father's and adopted father's archenemy? Well, he differently looked evil and Thor did mention Xehanort could also wield the Keyblade. Sora then turned his attention back to the apprentices, he noticed Terra used some kind dark powers during his spare aginst Aqua. Xehanort also noticed this and grinned. After that the trails were over. "We have deliberated and reached a decision. Terra, Aqua, you performed commendably. However, only Aqua has shown the Mark of Mastery." Each of the Keyblade Wielder's eyes widened in shock. "Terra, you failed to keep the darkness in you sufficiently in check. But there is always next year. That is all."
Their master turned to Aqua and said, "Aqua, as our newest Keyblade Master, you are entitled to certain knowledge. Please wait here for further instruction." Xehanort had already left. Terra looked down. He failed the exam. Aqua didn't know what to say, "Hey..."
Ven also ran up to his friend, "Terra, I'm sorry." Terra could only think, "The darkness...Where did it come from?" Terra signed and walked off, "Sorry...I need some time alone." Aqua and Ven wanted to go after him but they respected his wish. Ven went off to his room, while Aqua waited for their Master. Soon he returned and resummoned his Keyblade, "Come forward, Aqua."
Aqua walked up and kneeled before her master. Sora noticed their master looked like he was knighting her, "Aqua, by the right of the Keyblade Masters, and the will of the Keyblade, I proclaim you, Keyblade Master. Defender of the Light!" With that, the new Keyblade Master got on her feet wishing that she and Terra had passed too...
Sora felt a tear rolled down his check as someone shook him awake. He looked to see Kairi was there, "Sora...are you okay?" He quickly whipped off the tear. "I'm fine, it's just a dream...how'd you do?"
Kairi wasn't convinced but didn't push it. She put on a small smile, "I think I did well. Phil was just about to announce who was going to be in the games." Sora nodded, "Alright, let's see who made it in."
After joining the others he turned to Riku, "Any luck with Anna?" Riku signed and shook his head, "No, she still thinks Hans is here true love." Sora signed, "Figures."
Phil then walked up and cleared his throat, "After your participation in the trails, I have decided who will join Herc in this years games. The winners are... Cloud Strife, Sora Fair..." Sora pumped a fist, "...Riku Gallagher,..." Riku crossed his arms and grinned, "...Stitich the alien dog,..." Stitch cheered, "...Thor Odinson,..." Thor grinned and raised his hammer, "...And Kairi Panettiere with her kitten, Aqua." Kairi smiled.
Anna rasied an eyebrow, "Wait, how was Kairi able to get in...let alone her kitten?" Phil replied, "Kairi was actually pretty good, I've got a good feeling that she would give even Hades a hard time."
"Okay, how about her kitten?" Kristoff asked. Phil scratched the back of his head, "Well..." Riku smirked, "Kairi gave you the puppy dog pout again, didn't she?"
"Yeah...was it that obvious?" Phil asked. Riku shrugged, "Yeah, it's hard to say no to her. In fairness, you lasted longer the first time longer than anyone has."
"Alright, before we go I want to give you each a fair warning. The Underdorme is in the Underworld, which mean's you will be allot worn out in these games and you won't be at full power." Phil warned the participants. Hercules added, "They only defense aginst that is with the Olympus Stone, it's the only thing that can protect you from the curse. I would let you borrow it but it was stolen this morning by a guy in a black coat."
"Another Orginazation member?" Thor thought aloud. Sora nodded, "Looks like they're going everywhere."
I take it you know something about this thief, hm?" Hercules presumed.
"Yeah, we do," Sora sighed, he then asked, "Hey, Herc, if wecaught the thief? Could we borrow the stone then?"
"I don't see why not." The hero shrugged with a smile. Phil then spoke up, "Well, it's most likey he'll show up in the games in the Underworld. So, until he shows his face you'll have to fight without it."
"Can we come too? I still want to support my brother and my friends." Anna asked. Meg nodded, "Sure just stick by me. I know that place from the inside out. It's no utopia so we need to stick together down there."
"Alright, now that we all know the dangers of the Underworld, I have just two more words to say... Let's go to the Games!" Phil said as Anna muttered, "That's five words."
"He can't count if his life depended on it." Cloud told her and for the first time Anna smiled at Cloud. Sora smiled, they were ready at whatever Hades or Xehanort threw at them. Kairi was still worried for Sora. She wondered what did Sora dream about anyways...
Well, hoped you enjoyed the chapter... Next Chapter, Sora and friends go to the Underworld to compete in the Games. Sora had another dream about the orignal tiro. Oh, yeah, I know the who knighting thing was like the one we see in Star Wars for Jedi but I really wanted to use it. What do you think? Leave your thoughts in the reviews.
