"Sora, what makes you think that I don't miss Namine? She is the one I thought was Kairi, but I still loved her for who she was, why do you think I married her?" Sora looked down, and he said, "I'm sorry, it's just I've been thinking about Kairi and nothing else, while you were care free, as thought nothing has happened." Riku looked at Sora, he seemed so sad, then he thought about something, "Sora, where did you go when we were in Halloween Town?" Sora, not even looking at Riku answered "I was taking some alone time." Riku raised an eyebrow but didn't think of it and went back to playing games.
(Somewhere else)
"Finally!" someone in the darkness yelled, "You two did something right!" Two little devil looking things were cowering in fear, one was a pinkish-purple, he was short and plump. The second one was skinnier and was a light blue color, his horns were a little longer than his companion's. "So, what do you want us to do with him boss?" said the short one. "Well, Pain, I want you two to take him to meet the one. It's like the old goat says, rule #123, get to know your match." The one named Panic went up to the tall, dark figure, the blue flames illuminating his scared face, "Uh…boss, the one, escaped." The dark figure's flames on his head started to turn a dark shade of orange, "What did you just say?" Pain spoke up this time, "He said that the one escaped." The dark figure turned red and shot a river of flames onto Pain and Panic, "You two do something right for once and then you turn it around and you mess it up by letting the one escape!" Pain and Panic turned into worms and said in unison, "We are worms to you Hades, we are sorry" Hades turned to his prisoner, "Fine, we still have this stiff." He walked towards his prisoner for his flame to show that it was Sora tied up and gagged.
(On the ship)
Everyone was still in the same place they were before, except Sukai and Kihaku joined Sora and Riku in the game they were playing. "Everybody, were near the Coliseum now. They're having the Zeus Cup now." Donald said, "You guys want to enter?"
"Sure,"
"Yeah,"
"Okay,"
"Hyuck,"
"Whatever,"
"It's decided then, we'll enter the contest!" Donald took the ship down to the world and landed in front of the entrance. They entered through the mammoth sized door and took in the beauty of the front field. Six pots of fire surrounded each side of the field, the entrance to the actual coliseum were surrounded by columns, and two bronze soldiers hundreds of feet high on each side crossing their swords. The group walked up to the second door and saw Hercules beside it. "Hey Sora, how are you?"
"Fine, what about you Herc?"
"I'm still alive, I was married a few weeks ago."
"Really? To who?" Sukai asked.
"A girl named Meg. I met her by saving her from a hot headed centaur."
"Talking about me behind my back wonderboy?" a woman said, she was a beautiful brunette with lavender eyes, a violet toga going all the way down to the ground, she walked up and kissed her husband. "You know I don't like that, I never get to hear your compliments."
Hercules just smiled, then he turned to the group and asked, "Are you guys participating in the Zeus Cup? I would really like you guys to meet my father."
"Yeah, sure, we'll participate." Sora answered.
"Okay, unfortunately, it's only seeds of one to three, so you guys need to separate." So, they made two groups, the original team, Sora, Goofy and Donald, and Riku, Sukai, and Kihaku.
"Okay, let's get you guys into the ring." Hercules said, making a gesture to follow him. So, after everyone applied, they went to look at their matches

Sora
(I know bad names, but at least I tried)
"So, we fight until we lose?" Kihaku asked.
"Yeah, basically a battle to the death." Sora replied.
"Not literally of course." Donald reassures everyone.
"So, let's get started." Phil said. "First up Riku's team versus three black mushrooms."
Riku, Sukai and Kihaku walked onto the arena, as the invisible barrier came up the black mushrooms appeared. "This is going to be easy." Riku said with a grin. The three of them ran after the little mushrooms, then Riku swung his blade at one, but nothing happened. 'What?' Riku thought, 'Why didn't it work?' Sukai walked up to Riku and said, "When these mushrooms become white, they can't be hurt in any way." So, they sat there, playing cards, talking, sleeping, and when one of the mushrooms turned back to normal they shot a fireball at it. Once it was over they went back outside, and Phil met them. "Well," yawn "it seems like you finished the match with twenty-three hours and fifty-nine minutes with fifteen seconds to spare. (got this idea from something that happened to my friend, wasn't that long though) Well, now its Sora's team's turn." Sora, Donald and Goofy walked on to the familiar arena they have seen many times. They stood there, ready to battle whatever came, but there was nothing, suddenly they were hit by something, and they saw that they were fighting the Sneak (sorry, can't remember the name) and then, another opponent appeared, the Trickmaster. Goofy and Donald ran to get rid of them, but Sora just pointed his keyblade at Trick mast, "Dark Blizzaga!" then, at the Sneak, "Dark Firaga!" Both of their opponents were gone in a matter of seconds. Goofy and Donald didn't notice and ran right into the invisible barrier. After Donald and Goofy woke up, they went back outside and Phil ran up to them, "You guys broke a stadium record! Not even Herc did it that fast!" The rest of the tournament went as it did the first fight, Riku's team getting tired and bored with their opponents, while Sora annihilated their foes with one shot. Then, Phil came up to them, "Look, we see it being unfair that your next opponents are doing a one on three battle, so, they want to do a two on two battle. We need the leaders of each group to face them." Riku and Sora walked up and got ready for the battle.
Riku/Sora
Vs
Auron/Cloud
Riku and Sora stood there, on the arena ready for anything the others throw at them. Cloud, a former mercenary stood there with his blood red cape flowing in the wind, his over sized sword in his hand. Auron, a man with a red coat and another oversized sword, he had a jug on a string strapped to his shoulder. "Are you ready to lose?" Sora said.
"Kid, you're the one who's going to lose." Cloud said. Suddenly, Riku was picked up and taken beside Cloud. "What's going on?" Riku asked.
"He's not your friend," Auron said, "he is." Riku turned to see Sora behind Cloud, he had a few scars, but other than that, he seemed fine. The "imposter" grinned, suddenly his hair went from brown to jet black, his deep blue eyes, went blood red. His clothes went black, the one who stood there now was none other than Yomi. "What are you doing here?" Riku asked Yomi.
"Isn't it obvious? I'm here to kill Sora." Suddenly there was a loud, crashing noise. "Well, looks like he's here, have fun." Yomi smiled as he disappeared into a silvery-black smoke. Everyone looked to see a silver haired man with a black wing on the left side of his back, his emerald eyes pierced into everyone's mind. He stared at the group, doing nothing, then, as his eyes were directed toward Cloud, he stuck out his arm and a long sword came into his hand. Cloud and Auron took out their swords as Riku and Sora took out their keyblades. "You three stay away, he's mine." Cloud said.
"Who is he?" Riku asked.
"His name is Sephiroth, we've known each other for some time now, we also have a score to settle." Cloud said, as the others took his advice.
"Why doesn't he want our help?" Riku asked.
"I'll only say one thing, he took me down in three hits." Sora replied. With that response, Riku ran even faster.
Cloud vs. Sephiroth
(One winged angel is played throughout battle)
Cloud and Sephiroth stood there, having a sort of stare off. Then, Sephiroth flew up and started toward Cloud, Cloud took his sword and deflected Sephiroth's attack. Then, Cloud did his sonic blade and Sephiroth was taken down back to the ground. Then, Sephiroth flew up and went after Cloud at full force. Cloud got ready, and as Sephiroth drew closer, he used his sonic blade and took Sephiroth down. Sephiroth raised his blade and summoned meteors to crush Cloud, but Cloud summoned Knights of the Round and destroyed all of the meteors. Sephiroth ran after Cloud, but Cloud used his powers and flew up and came back down with his sword going into the ground with so much force the earth started to crack beneath it. Sephiroth ran between the cracks and raised his sword as he got to Cloud. Cloud then took his sword and slashed Sephiroth across his chest. Sephiroth stepped back and fell, face first. (Now Final Fantasy VII theme plays) Cloud stood up straight and looked at the dead body of his archenemy, "This isn't over." He said as he walked away. What he didn't see was that darkness surrounded Sephiroth and sucked him down into the underworld. Cloud walked out and everyone ran up to him, "Hey, did you get rid of him?" Sora asked.
"Yeah, here, give this to your friend with the blonde hair." He threw a keychain at Sora. The keychain was in the shape of a comet. Auron then came up and gave Sora another keychain, "Give this one to your red haired friend." This one was in the shape of a blitzball. Sora went up to Sukai and gave him the keychain from Cloud, Sukai looked at it, then, he put it on his keyblade and it started to glow. The hilt started to become more round, the blade itself became longer and the tip became spikes. Once it was all over, the keyblade looked just like a comet, only with a longer tail. Sora then went to Kihaku and gave him the blitzball keychain. Kihaku attached it to his keyblade, the hilt became a regular hilt, with out the round part, the blade became longer. After the glow was gone, they could see that the blade looked like water. "I got that one from Wakka." Auron said. Sora turned to Auron, "Wakka? How do you know Wakka? He's about my age."
"Well, I don't know him very well, I know his friend Tidus came into my world. I found him and he didn't remember who he was, so I took him to my friend Jecht. Jecht at first refused, but once he saw the child, he took him in and taught him everything about blitzball, oddly enough he gave him his own name. As the years went on, Tidus saw the true father and he started to hate Jecht, later Jecht disappeared. About a year later after Jecht disappeared, Tidus was playing a blitzball game, I was on a ledge, watching it as it came to swallow all of us whole, Sin. Sin was a major enemy of ours and he destroyed our home. I didn't see Tidus for a while, but the next time I saw him, he was with a group of people. After some time we found out that Sin was Tidus's father, Jecht, so, we defeated the main part of Sin and went inside him. There we found Jecht again and we killed him, after that, Wakka must have given Tidus the keychain before we disappeared to our own time." After he was done, he noticed that everyone was asleep, "Hey! It wasn't that boring!" Auron yelled. Everyone jumped, they looked to Auron and gave him a 'sorry' look. Everyone said goodbye and went their separate ways. Sora and the group got onto their ship and were closing the door, but someone stuck their hand out and stopped it, Cloud was standing there. "Sora, before you leave I want to talk with you." Sora gave a curious look, but followed him. Near the entrance of the world Cloud stopped and turned toward Sora. "Sora, I am your father."
"What?"
"I'm kidding, I was making sure I had your attention." Cloud said, "Riku told me that you are really depressed, that you worry all the time about Kairi. Don't get me wrong, but just remember, no matter how much trouble one of you is in, there will always be…"
"…a door to the light." Sora finished, "I've always heard these words but I never have thought of it that way."
"Well, time for me to get back to Hollow Bastion, but before I leave, here are two parts of a keychain. I found one near Halloween Town and one here. I know you collect keychains so I decided to give you parts to one. Well, that's it bye!" Cloud said, waving goodbye. Sora waved bye to Cloud and connected the keychain parts, now he had half of the heartless symbol and half of the silver heart. 'Well, half done.' Sora thought to himself. He walked back to the ship and blasted off to Deep Jungle.
(In the Under World)
In the darkness was a bright red light, like a giant flame, which it was. Hades was flaming at Pain and Panic, "First you lose our Ace, now you lose our hostage!" he yelled. "We're sorry boss, but he knocked us out while you were at the meeting." Panic said.
"Well, now that I have my ace back," He said as a dark figure carried Sephiroth into the room, "we can get our revenge." Then, the dark figure walked past Hades and went to the sea of dead souls and dropped Sephiroth into the green sea. "What are you doing!" Hades yelled. The figure turned to show it was Cloud, "Paying back his debt." He replied as he took out his sword.
(Somewhere unknown)
Kairi sat there still crying, Namine who got tired from comforting her was asleep. Suddenly Kairi's water broke, she sat there wide eyed and started nudging Namine to wake her up, "Whuzz iz it?" Namine said, still half asleep. "It's time." Kairi whispered, suddenly the door banged open and Kairi looked to see two golden eyes in the darkness. "Yes," it said, "it is time indeed."
(Back with Sora)
"Well, we're getting close to Deep Jungle, so get ready for landing" Donald said. Everyone walked out to the side of the ship, Kihaku didn't know what was going on. "When are we going to land?" Kihaku asked, suddenly he was pushed out of the ship and he landed on a moss covered branch. Soon, Sora followed suit, then Riku, then everybody else except Donald who was going to find a place to land the ship. "We don't land and get off, we have to surf the branches." Sora answered Kihaku. The group went down the moss covered branches with ease they saw the many sights of the jungle, the green trees, the raging rivers, and finally they went down a spiraling path and landed in the campsite. Jane ran out of the tent hearing a loud noise. "What's going on out here?" Then, she sees Sora, Donald and Goofy and smiles, "Oh hello, make yourselves at home."
"Nah, that's okay, where's Tarzan?" Sora asked.
"I actually don't have a clue. He said he was going to get some food, but I haven't seen him in ages." Jane answered.
"We'll go look for him at the tree house." Sora said as he walked toward the swamp. The group went into the swamp, climbed the vines up to the swinging vines. After a few moments of getting Sukai and Kihaku back they continued on to the tree house. There, they saw Tarzan, sitting on the roof, wearing a suit. Sora and Riku climbed up to the roof and went up to Tarzan while the others went back to the camp. "Hey Tarzan, what's with the monkey suit?" Riku asked once they got up there.
"Kerchak died, there were some poachers after him. I'm wearing this for his funeral." Tarzan said, staring out into the horizon.
"Wow, your speech has really improved." Sora said.
"Thanks, although I do not like the term 'monkey suit', this is my fathers."
"Sorry," Riku said, "That's just what I call them."
"That's alright," Tarzan sighed, "I just wish I could have done something to save Kerchak."
"Tarzan," Sora said as he sat beside Tarzan, "we can't always do what we want to do, everyone has to die at some point, and sometimes we can't do anything to prevent it."
Tarzan smiled, "I guess you're right Sora." Then, there was a loud booming noise from the cliffs where the gorilla family was. "The poachers are back." Tarzan then jumped down from the roof and started heading toward the origin of the sound. Sora and Riku followed Tarzan. The gorillas were running in separate directions, but all running from the same thing, two men with shotguns. "Ha ha! We'll get a killin' for these gorillas." One of them said. "Yeah, we'll get a bunch o' pounds fur just one o' them." The other replied. Suddenly, Tarzan jumped down on him and took his gun, used the butt of the gun and hit the other one in the head. They both were down on the ground, motionless. Tarzan stood over the men, he took their guns, and removed the bullets from them. Sora and Riku finally landed next to Tarzan with their keyblades out, but they saw that Tarzan took care of it. "I'll take these two you two get back to the camp." Tarzan said as he put down the guns and picked up the unconscious men and ran off again. Sora and Riku went back to camp. Sukai and Kihaku were sitting at a table drinking tea with Jane while Goofy and Donald were sleeping. Jane looked up to see them walk, she had a worried look on her face, "Where's Tarzan? I heard a gunshot."
"Don't worry," Sora said, "He's taking the two poachers somewhere."
"Probably the trading post,"
"Trading post?"
"Yes, after us some more people came to settle here in the jungle."
Tarzan then landed in front of the table, "Sorry, I just got back from the officials. They were poachers who were trying to sell Gorilla hair as coats. Oh, and Sora I got this for you." He said as he gave Sora a quarter of a heartless symbol.
"Thanks, I think we'll be going now thanks for letting us catch up." Sora said.
"No problem, come anytime." Tarzan said.
(Back with Namine)
Namine was sitting with her arms around her knees, her blue eyes wide with fear. Who knows what happening to Kairi in that room. Suddenly the door opened again and Kairi was thrown in. "We will keep the child." The golden eye man said as he closed the door. "Kairi! Are you okay?" Namine said going to Kairi's side. Kairi had tears in her eyes, "They took our son! What will I tell Sora?" Then, she started crying.
Okay, I will do the author's corner at the bottom this time:
Ivy-Crystal: Thanx, I was trying my best cause I haven't seen the movie in years
Jaquira: I'm not evil…just misunderstood
R. A. Pointless: Well, now you know about Riku's feelings
Hurky: Well, I updated, so there
SimpleNClean92: I really think you are the only one that reads the other stuff and replies
Lionheart21: Well, when I mean dusk, I mean the purple dusk
It will probably be a little while till I get the next chapter, I have school, band, and other stuff to do, but I'll try my best to get it done!
