Chapter 4

It didn't even take five minutes to get to their next world, and adventure. "It looks like the Roman Coliseum." Mariah mused, glancing at the holographic image. "Then let's get down there and have some fun!" Tyson said eagerly. Rei smiled at the younger boy's eagerness. It was quiet amusing to watch.

They walked out into a huge courtyard with large stone pillars surrounding the door to the main lobby. A huge golden statue of a warrior holding a shield and spear was placed on each side of the door.

"I guess the entrance is through there."

Ranma pointed at the door that stood between the statues and pillars. Rei nodded. "Yes. And that's where the games are held." He explained as he pushed the door open and they headed inside.

Inside it was a bit smaller than the courtyard outside. To the left was a stone table and on the ledge was a golden bowl with a fire burning in it. And to the right was a large stone with another golden bowl with fire burning in it on the ledge.

There was a large entrance in the wall ahead of them that was closed off with chains. Standing on a stone stand was what appeared to be a half man-half goat like creature putting up a sign. It was actually a satyr.

"Um, excuse me?" Max asked politely.

The satyr merely waved a tiny hand.

"Finally! Can you move that stone over there? I'm busy here."

The satyr had a very gruff voice. Ranma chose to try and move it, only to discover it was extremely heavy.

"It's too heavy." He complained.

"That thing is way too heavy." He told the satyr.

The satyr jumped. "Too heavy? Since when have you been- - " He turned to see ten different looking teenagers standing there. "Oh, wrong guy."

Rei frowned slightly. He never did like the satyr's attitude towards people. "You guys can't be heros if you can't even move this rock" Bryan smirked when the satyr struggled to move the stone, but to no avail. "Plus warriors from all over come to participate in the games and you can't join!" This angered the group.

"What?!" Tyson screeched.

"Why not?!" Ranma asked angrily.

"Three words: You guys ain't heros!" The satyr snarled. "That's four words." Lee said dryly. Yami scowled. "Rei is a real hero." He said coldly. Realization dawned on Ranma.

"That's right. Rei is the one who wields that Keyblade thingy." Placing his hands on Rei's shoulder, the Keymaster summoned the gleaming weapon to his hand, causing the satyr to jump back in fear.

"Impressive. I'll admit. But the rest of you won't be able to join unless you pass this test." With that being said, the others, minus Rei, went through the gapping hole in the wall.

Rei leaned causally against a wall, eyes closed. The satyr; who introduced himself as Phil, watched the Keyblade master warily. Rei was lost in his own memories of his friends.

And of Destiny Islands....

Pale bluish white eyes sparkled brightly upon the cherubic face as the fourteen year old boy brushed a lock of dark cinnamon hair from his eyes. Ah, life on Destiny Islands was wonderful.

{"Oh Sora...."} Called an eerie voice.

Sora perked up, hearing his name. Who was calling him? "Yes? Riku, is that you?" He called, worriedly.

{"Over here Sora."} Came the voice again. Sora got up, brushed the sand from his bright red jumpsuit and took off in the direction of the voice. He climbed over the ladder that lead up to the upper part of the island and to the waterfalls. Sora looked around and his strange eyes lingered on a large pearly white door, standing right where the hidden entrance was.

What was that door doing there?

Suddenly, the door slammed open and pure black flames circled around the horrified teen. "What's going on?" He whimpered. Above him, the skies grew black as night and the island shook as huge cracks appeared all over and the jungle seemed to split in half as the ocean bleed an ominous purple.

A pair of red eyes glowed from the darkness behind the now open doors where only darkness could be seen and Sora heard a cackling laugh before he felt an overwhelming coolness in his chest. Dumbfounded, he looked down and his eyes widen. Jammed through his chest; right where his heart was, was a black arm. And surrounding the black arm was dark purplish black mist.

With a jerk, the hand pulled out a crystallized ruby red heart. With a gleeful laugh, the one who was holding the crystal heart, shattered it to a thousand pieces. Sora cried out in pain, clutching his chest, and with watery eyes, he watched in horror as his own body began to turn black itself. He looked up into the red eyes and heard one last sentence as everything faded for the final time:

{"Welcome home, Sora. Welcome home."}

It was Bryan who noted the sleeping Rei as they came back from Phil's barrel-smashing challenge. In return, Phil handed over the knowledge of the Thunder spell to Yami who was quiet pleased with it. But Phil still refusedto let them in.

"How are we gonna wake him up?" Ranma whispered, as he spotted Rei sleeping against the wall. "Whatever we do, we better do something fast. It looks like he is having a nightmare of some sort." Yami pointed out.

Lee realized that the tri-colored haired teen was right. Rei was shivering slightly and if it was possible, he was sweating at the same time. "Rei?" Tyson asked worriedly, gently touching the teen's shoulder.

Instantly, eerie bluish white eyes flew open and had Tyson's hand in a death grip. Rei blinked as he finally calmed down, realizing he had Tyson's hand in a hard grip. He hastily let go.

"Sorry. Try not to do that again Tyson." He mumbled, not looking at the dragon blader. "We might as well leave since that jerk won't let us into the games." Mariah said angrily, storming out into the courtyard. Rei sighed and reluctantly followed. His mind still on that eerie dream.

Unknowingly, a pair of yellowish black eyes was watching the group as they left and smirked. Now's my chance, the person thought greedily and headed out after them.

"Stubborn old goat wouldn't you say?" Teased a raspy voice. Rei stiffened. It can't be, he thought darkly. The others whirled around, not even noticing Rei's obvious anger. Out of the shadows stepped what looked to be a man.

That is if you would ignore the blue skin and bright blue flames for hair. The man wore a dark greyish black Greek toga.

"Who are you?" Ranma growled.

His danger sense kept telling him this guy was bad news. The man held up a hand. "Take it easy short stuff. I'm on your side." The man mocked. Rei's lips curled into a snarl and he felt a tremendous amount of rage boil inside of him.

And an urge for blood.

The blood of the man in front of them.

"Can't get in, can you?" Mariah nodded. "That jerk won't let us in even though we won his barrel challenge." She grumbled. "Well, I believe you'll want this." In a flash of pale blue light, the man was holding a ticket in his hand and gave it to a stunned Mariah.

"A pass?" She questioned.

"Good luck kids. I'm rooting for ya." And disappeared back into the shadows.

Slowly, the rage and the bloodlust died down. Rei took in a deep breath. "That was Hades. I wouldn't trust him at all." He growled, there was still a hint of hatred in his voice. Giving Rei weird looks, the others shrugged and raced back inside to show Phil the Entry Pass to get into the games.

Back inside, Mariah took out the Entry Pass and showed it to a very shocked satyr. "How did you get this?!" He demanded hotly. The pink haired girl glared at the hybrid. "Well? Are we aloud in or what?" She snapped.

"Fine. But remember this one rule: No summoning allowed! Fight with your own strength!" He snapped back. Rei sighed. "Then that means that Ranma, Yami and I will fight." He said quietly.

Huh?

"Say what?" Tyson grumbled. "When Phil said no summoning, that also went towards the bit beasts. And since you guys have to rely on them to fight, the three of us have our own skills to use against the Heartless." Kai frowned.

"What about Yami? He uses monsters to summon too." He pointed out. Rei chuckled. "Yes, but if you had been paying attention, Yami can also use elemental magic as well as myself." He answered.

"Oh"

"Are you people ready?" Phil asked gruffly. Rei nodded. "It'll be us three Phil." He gestured towards Ranma and Yami. The satyr nodded in agreement. "Alright. And good luck. You'll be needing it." Phil called as they went through the door way.

"Thanks." Ranma muttered sarcastically.

Round One: Soldiers , Blue Rhapsodies

The second the trio had stepped into the arena, a pinkish green light lit up around the four corners, showing signs of a shield and no way of escaping.

"Leave the Nocturne's and Rhapsodies to me." Rei muttered to them. They nodded. Standing in front of them was four Soldiers and four Blue Rhapsodies. Rei got into position. Ranma was holding his new shield and Yami his new staff. Time to kick some major ass.

"FIRAGA!" Rei roared as he leapt of the Soldiers, sending out a massive blast of fire towards the Rhapsodies. Unfortunately, it only got two of them. So he was left with two ice elemental Heartless.

Ranma slammed his shield into a Soldier, causing the thing to screech in pain before exploding. Yami jammed the bottom tip of the staff into another Soldier, also causing it to explode into dust. Rei wove in an out of the icicles that were being sent his way.

"Defense!" He cried, casting his Aeroga spell.

He relaxed by a hair as the icicles bounced off and slammed into the Rhapsodies. The two ice Heartless weren't expecting it, so they ended up following their brethren and exploded into dust as Ranma and Yami took out the remaining Soldiers.

"Alright!" Rei cheered, twirling Ultima in his hand.

Round Two: Shadows, Blue Rhapsodies

This time, Shadows appeared instead of Soldiers. The same amount of Blue Rhapsodies appeared though. The two made a move to go forward, but Rei stopped them. They glanced at him curiously but Yami realized what Rei was about to do and grinned.

A golden aura sprang up around Rei as he became a blur, slashing through and ripping the Heartless apart. "Take that!" Rei growled, rasing the Keyblade up slightly, golden lightning cackling everywhere. Ranma stared and sighed.

"Shouldn't be surprised." He muttered.

Rei laughed softly. Ranma smiled. He liked the way Rei laughed. It was soft and husky. "You should laugh more." He said absent mindly. Rei turned pink. Yami smiled. "You should Rei." He told the boy who turned even redder.

If that was possible.

Round Three: Blue Rhapsodies, Red Nocturnes

This would be a bit tricky. "I got an idea." Rei mumbled. "What is it?" Yami asked. Rei looked up. "Hope you two aren't afraid of thunder." He muttered. Ranma and Yami back up a bit into the shield as Rei slammed the keyblade into the arena floor.

"THUNDAGA!"

Huge bolts of golden thunder shot from the skies and each bolt hit a Heartless, causing each one to shriek with pain before exploding and their pure hearts disappearing. When the thunder passed, Rei dropped to his knees in exhaustion.

"You okay?" Ranma asked worriedly.

Rei waved him off.

"Don't worry. Just used up a bit too much magic." He muttered. He pulled out a vial of tiny neon green liquid. "It's an Ether." He explained and swallowed the contents, gagging a bit on the taste. It was never the same twice. "Much better." He stood up and stretched. "That was three rounds. How many more do we have to go?" Ranma asked. "Four more." Rei grumbled. "Just great." Yami muttered sarcastically.

Round Four: Blue Rhapsodies, Red Nocturnes, Shadows, Soldiers

"This is gonna be a bit harder." Ranma mumbled, looking at the array of Heartless. "I have a magic card that could help." Yami said suddenly. Rei perked up. "Really? Then I suggest you better use it." He glanced towards the Heartless uneasily. "Now." He ordered. Yami hastily agreed and took out another green card. Only this time, this one had a black hole imprinted upon it.

"Dark Hole!" Yami yelled.

A black hole appeared over the field, sucking in each Heartless. The wind picked up, making their hair fly all around them. When the wind died down, the Heartless were gone. "Cool trick." Rei whistled. Yami blushed. "Three more rounds." Came from Ranma. "I know."

Round Five: Blue Rhapsodies

Rei grinned nastily as the ice Heartless hovered in the air. "Piece of cake." He purred. He pointed the Keyblade at the Heartless and said one word.

"Firaga."

They were instantly destroyed. "Pathetic." Rei grumbled, lowering the Keyblade. "I hate to say this, but this is getting a bit predictable." Yami muttered as Rei drowned another Ether.

They were being watched by two people. One was Hades, the other was a cold and silent man. "There, that's the brat you have to kill." Hades growled, pointing to Rei, who was talking to Ranma, Yami and Phil.

The silent man finally spoke. "The god of death is afraid of a kid?" The man said quietly. "My contract clearly says- -" Hades cut him off. Sheesh, second time around was boring as hell. No pun intended of course. "I know what it says! You don't think I know? I wrote the damn thing!" He snarled. "I know your contract says your supposed to kill Hercules. But to get to Hercules, you have to go through that brat."

The man casually glanced towards Rei once more. "It's just like the old goat said. Rule number fourteen: Let loose and have fun! So go out there and win!" Hades hissed.

The man got up and silently left. "Jeeze. He's still stiffer than the stiffs back home." A low animalistic growl came from the shadows as a pair of large red eyes glowed dimly. "There was one more thing I forgot." He mused and chuckled darkly as he disappeared.

The man walked by Rei, Ranma and Yami. Rei's eyes were narrowed as he watched the warrior walk past.

"He's gonna be a tough one to beat." Phil mused. "I'll say." Ranma said quietly, he could feel the man's power. It was huge. But not even close to Rei's strength. Ranma had a feeling that not many could take on Rei and win.

Was Rei hiding his real power?

And if so....

Why?

Round Six: Large Body, Blue Rhapsodies, Red Nocturnes, Soldiers

The Large Body was well, a very tall, fat Heartless, dressed similarly to the Soldier only in dark red armor instead of blue.

"The Large Body only weakness is physical attacks. But you have to aim them at the back of their heads." Rei explained as he whipped out the Blue Rhapsodies with a Firaga spell and the Red Nocturnes with a Blizzaga spell. The lone Soldier crept up behind Rei, hoping to catch him off guard.

No such luck.

Rei knew that the Soldier was behind him, he whirled around and caught the Heartless on the tip of his Keyblade. It exploded into dust and vanished.

"Gotcha." Rei teased.

"At least we only have one more." Ranma panted, beads of sweat trickled down his face. "Here." Rei tossed them both a Potion. Yami and Ranma were glad that the liquid restored their energy so they could handle the final round.

But what or who could it be?

Round Seven: Cloud

Standing before Rei, Ranma and Yami was a young man in his early twenties with spiky dark blond hair framing a slightly round face.

You could just make out a pair of dark blue eyes watching them emotionlessly. The man wore a skin tight sleeveless black tee-shirt, dark blue jeans and brown ankle high leather boots. Black leather belts forming an "x" were wrapped around both of his ankles, there was another leather belt; only this one was brown, was strapped over his chest, and another around his waist. He also had metal protecting his left leg and right shoulder. There was even metal surrounding his right wrists. He also wore brown leather gloves and had gold metal covering his right fingers. All in all, his flowing dark red cap; which covered his mouth, and his single black wing protruding from his right shoulder gave the man a demonic look.

So who was he?


Revised Chapter 5 is coming up soon. I planned on giving you guys 4 revised chapters today.
