Disclaimer: I just got StarCraft so now it will be twice as hard to make. The previous chapter was going to be longer but I thought that would be a good place to end it.
Chapter 14: Cloud Strife
Sora, Donald and Goofy had beaten 4 out of the seven rounds of Heartless. They Heartless were slightly stronger but so was our trio, the only new type of Heartless was a Blue Rhapsody; it was like a Red Nocturne except it was blue (duhhh) and used blizzard magic. Sora wasn't that tired but decided to take a breather anyway.
"You're doing pretty good kid but you not a hero yet (wrong old guy); lucky you came for a break" while Phil was yapping about the rules of being a hero a ominous man walked by Sora (I got tired of saying mysterious man) he had spiky blond hair, wore a slightly burnt cape and had the largest sword Sora ever saw. Both their blue eyes meet in a cold stare for about a minuet then the man walked off "that Cloud Strife, and he's pretty tough, who knows you might end up facing him" said Phil.
While Phil continued rambling on yet again they were interrupted by an earth shattering thud followed by a some loud cheering in close arena "what was that?" said Sora "that was Hercules, the greatest hero I ever trained, decided to go all out in his seventh round" said Phil proudly "he's all ready reached his final round" said Donald in a combination of surprise and impressed "yep, brainless freaks didn't stand a chance" said Phil. The competition looking really tough thought Sora Cool!
So are heroes finished their seventh match and were doing a little triumphant dance not knowing they were being watched. "Okay that punk is your next opponent, know don't blow it just take him out" said the man with fire for hair as we all know is Hades, Cloud eyed Hades with a sideward glance before speaking "the great god of the underworld is afraid of a kid, sorry but my contract says" "I Know You Think I Don't Know, I Wrote The Contract" said Hades for that moment Hades blue skin had turned red and his shoulders, eyebrows and head were engulfed in classic red fire to express his rage, Cloud of course remind unstirred by this, Hades quickly calmed down and continued speaking "I know you only required to kill Hercules in this tourney but you got get through that kid to get to him, come on its like that old goat says, rule #11 its all just a game so let loose and have fun with it, I mean a casualty or two along the way its no big deal.". With that Cloud just left in a cold cool fashion "stiffer then the stiffs back home, still suckers like him are hard to come by" said Hades with a menacing growl coming from the shadows.
So for Sora's round first 2 matches Sora was fighting against Cloud. Cloud was the best fighter Sora had seen, he moved his giant sword as if it was as light as a feather, he whacked both Donald and Goofy out of the arena with one strike(for each) leaving Sora to fight him alone. Cloud fought with burst of sonic speed. Sora managed to do pretty well, but eventually was overpowered.
Sora lay on the center of the arena bruised, but still conscious. Now Sora could take loosing a fight but Cloud was still advancing towards our young hero this guy going to kill me! Thought Sora, Phil tried to save this young kid from being but was stopped by two Shadow Heartless stopped him "sorry goat boy but I need my blonde friend in the Games so he can kill Herc, besides there always room for one more in the Underworld" said Hades coldly.
Cloud slowly advanced towards are brown haired friend, Donald and Goofy were out cold so they couldn't help him, when Sora thought all hop was lost the KeyBlade gifted him with another spell, this time the KeyBlade glowed green and Sora was fully healed. Sora decided to play possum for a little while longer so when Cloud was about to finish him off Sora knocked his sword out of his hands. This move caught Cloud by surprise so his giant sword (which was actually hollow) was sent flying out off the arena. Sora used this opportunity to hit Cloud with a five hit combo send him flying out of the arena, naming Sora the winner.
Sora used his new Cure spell to revive Donald, Goofy and even Cloud because Sora was a nice guy (I know my plots full of kinks but so is the video games). After giving Cloud a congratulatory hand shake and bowing to the audience, their was a scream from the audience, Sora and the gang found out they were screaming because their was a giant black dog with red eyes and three heads, that had magically appeared in the arena "sorry Cloud accidents happen" said Hades before vanishing into the shadows.
The giant black dog had crushed Cloud with its massive feet and tried to strike are transfixed heroes but amazing it was being pushed back by some guy with a blue cape "Herc" said Phil worriedly (the Heartless disappeared along with Hades) "Phil get them out of here" said Hercules while trying to fend off the monster dog. Naturally are heroes were still tired from the games (well at least that was Sora's reason) so they ran while Hercules fought off the monster.
After the Coliseum was evacuated Sora, Donald, Goofy and Phil waited outside the arena which Herc was fighting, "what the hell was that thing" said Donald "that was Cerberus, guardian of the underworld" said Phil "if that is Cerberus, that means Hades is responsible" said Sora "right you are kid, I bet Hades is also responsible for hiring Cloud, fire haired bastard". It was then Sora realized that the man who gave them the tickets was Hades, he let Sora into the games so Cloud could get rid off him, the question was why, Sora didn't have long to wonder for he heard a loud crash.
Sora went out to the arena to see a large chain of holes leading all the way to the arena to the far left. Sora willed the KeyBlade into his hands and head to fight Cerberus when Phil said "your not thinking of going there are you? This isn't some match this is for real", Sora turned around with a serious look on his face "I'm not afraid, you can decide if I'm hero material or not" said Sora bravely, so Sora ran towards the arena with Donald, Goofy and Phil close behind.
Hercules was cornered by the great best Cerberus with Cloud on his shoulder, then suddenly all three of the dogs heads turned around to see the kid who beat Cloud, the great best shifted it attention to the kid while Herc took Cloud to the medical center "kid, I've got two words of advice for you Attack" said Phil Two Words Goofy thought.
Disclaimer: What do you think since I made my chapter longer? Originally they were going to fight Cerberus in this chapter but that would not have gone with the title. I'll take any Review.
