Hercules has just defeated the Rock Titan as he throws him in the air and vanished. The crowd cheers and Hercules lifted his sword up to victory. AS Sora, Donald, Goofy and Andi walked through the Underworld.

"Huh?" said Sora looking around the Underworld.

"Are ya sure this is the coliseum?" asked Goofy

"It's that way!" replied Donald as he points to a set of stairs leading upward.

"Oh...Guess we were a little off" replied Sora looking at Donald as they started walking to the stairs.

They hear a scream and see a woman running from a bunch of Rabid Dog heartless. The woman falls and the Heartless are upon her.

"Heartless!" exclaimed Sora

Sora and the others run over, scaring the Heartless away. Sora offers to help her up.

"Thanks, but...I'm fine" said the women as she stands up. Sora pulling his hand away.

"And you're supposed to be?" asked the women crossing her arms.

"I'm Sora, he's Donald, Goofy and that's Andi"

"Anyway we came to see how Hercules is doing" said Sora

She looks at each of them in turn.

"You know Wonder boy?" asked the women.

"Yeah, 'cause we're heroes, too!" said Donald proudly.

"Ya mean, junior heroes, Donald" corrected Goofy.

"Looks like we have a friend in common" laughed the women.

"Name's Megara. My friends call me Meg" said the women.

"So how's Herc?" asked Sora

"Wonder boy? Well, he's duking it out at the Coliseum every day. You know, "a hero's work is never done" and all that. He's ready to drop, but he keeps on fighting. Even Wonder boy has his limits, though. These opponents are bad news-special deliveries from Hades himself..." explained Meg.

"Hades!?" questioned Donald.

"Right. Lord of the Underworld. I was on my way to see him. Maybe I can get Hades to give Wonder boy a breather. If anything happens to that kid..." said Meg worrying.

"Gawrsh... Sounds like you're more than just friends!" suggested Goofy

"Oh...uh, I mean..."

"We'll go have a little talk with Hades. I'd hate for anything to happen to you on your way to see him" said Sora.

"You really want to do that? Well, it looks like you know what you're doing. I guess I'll take you up on that offer. But...let's keep this whole chat-with-Hades thing our little secret, okay?" said Meg

"Our lips are sealed!" said Sora smiling.

Sora, Donald, and Goofy starts to enter the Cave of the Dead.

"How do you know you can trust her?" Asked Andi looking at the three.

"She seems nice. Besides she knows Herc." Replied Sora

"So she says."

Sora turns around and looks at Andi. "Just trust me ok?"

"Your asking a lot from me" sighed Andi

Sora smiles at Andi as they entered Cave of the Dead. They see a cloaked man running through the cave.

"The Organization!" yells Donald

"Yeah" agreed Sora

They ran through the passage into the Inner Chamber to find the cloaked man fighting heartless along the way; they find the Organization member still running but this tine towards them. Andi caught off guard sees the hooded man from the corner of her eye as he passed her; Sora brings out his keyblade as the hooded man passes him, Donald and Goofy.

"Run! Run away!" yells the hooded cloaked man.

Sora turns around toward the man as the hooded man eventually fades away in the dark portal. Andi, Donald and Goofy turned where the man ran.

"Okay...?" replied Sora tilting his head a little.

Hades is speaking with Pete in Hades' Chamber.

"Where do they dig these freaks up? Geez, Louise" said Hades

"Oh, they're nuttin' but trouble, the whole lot of 'em. So, uh...what're you gonna do about Hercules? He's made mince meat outta every fighter you sent at him. Pretty soon the Underworld's gonna be standing room only. Say, why don't you just pick somebody already dead and save him the trouble?" chuckled Pete

Hades gets annoyed at Pete and slams his fists on the edges of his chair. Pete covers his head, while Pain and Panic hide behind him. Hades thinks for a second.

"Dead... Dead is good! And I know just the warrior" replied Hades pointing his finger up looking away from Pete, Pain and Panic.

Xxxxxxxxx

Sora, Donald, Goofy and Andi enter the Valley of the Dead. Donald shivers.

"I'm scared too, Donald" agreed Goofy.

"Hades, come out!" ordered Sora angrily looking up towards the skull.

They walk across the bridge and up the stairs fighting heartless along the way.

Xxxxxxxxx

Pete, Hades, Pain, and Panic are looking into Hades' giant swirling vortex; "By the by, uh... What's down there?" asked Pete.

"Just the Underworld's deepest dungeon. This time I'm bringing out the mother of all bad guys" replied Hades happily.

Pete starts to back away from Hades. Pain and Panic have already hidden behind a stone pillar.

"You don't say. Well... Maybe I should go" said Pete backing up.

Hades forms a ball of fire in each hand and tosses them into the abyss. There's a large explosion, causing a pillar of smoke to rise out of the hole. Lightning courses through the red smoke as a figure emerges. Hades laughs.

"Let's cut to the chase. Here's the deal I'm gonna offer you. I let you out of the slammer-no strings-you'll be free as a bird" dealing Hades.

The man listens as he looks over to Pete, who is against the wall near Pain and Panic. Pete, still afraid and not knowing what else to do, simply waves at him.

"And all for one little job. Fight Hercules, in the Coliseum...to the death!" said Hades.

The man smiles "This is my story. And you're not part of it" he replied as he raises his sword.

"Did you forget who you're talking to? I am the Lord of the Dead!" yells Hades angrily.

"No wonder no one wants to die"

"You are FIRED!"

Hades turns red in a blaze and charges toward the man, who blocks with his sword. Sora, Donald, Goofy and Andi run in.

"Hades!" yells Donald

Hades gets distracted and his fire turns blue again. Andi looks around then at Hades.

"This is the Lord of the Underworld?" asked Andi like Hades was a joke.

"You again?" asked Hades looking them.

The man knocks Hades back.

"Fight!" says the man.

The man strikes Hades, who stops the sword with his hand, and throws the man back. Hades punches the man to the ground. He conjures two fireballs aiming at the fallen man. Sora runs between them and they dissipate.

"Get up!" said Sora

They try to fight Hades but every attack Sora and the others did didn't seem to hurt him.

"Something's wrong!" said Donald

"I feel kinda funny..."said Sora as he and the others felt tired and weak.

"That's right! See, that's the thing. In the Underworld, heroes are zeroes-comes with the territory" replied Hades.

"Chicken!" snapped Andi.

"Oh we have another smart mouth do we?" said Hades

The two fireballs appear again and Hades charges the group. The man slices down with his sword, but Hades teleports in a puff of smoke.

"Go now!"

"But I've gotta talk to Hades!" explained Sora

"What was that?" asked Hades with his fingers in his ears.

Sora tries to charge, but the man stops him. Hades makes fireballs again as Donald and Goofy run out of the room. Andi looks back where Donald and Goofy left, glancing at Sora and the man and followed Donald and Goofy.

"We can't fight him here! We have to go-now!" explained the man

The man pulls Sora, who doesn't budge. He leaves Sora, who eventually runs as Hades throws the fireballs at them. They leave the chamber and run down the stairs with great difficulty. Sora and Goofy close the gates and try to catch their breath.

"Is he gone?" asked Donald

"Don't count on it" replied the man

"Huh?" asked Sora as Hades appears on their side of the door next to Sora. Making Sora jump.

"Leaving so soon?" asked Hades looking at the group.

They hurry to the exit, evading Hades and the Heartless he conjures. When they reach the Inner Chamber of the Cave of the Dead, they catch their breath and collapsed on the floor.

"You're really good. Are you some kind of hero?" asked Sora looking at the man.

The man shakes his head "No, I'm no hero... I'm just an..."

"Huh?"

"Auron" said the man

Sora and Goofy look at each other.

"My name"

"I'm Sora"

Donald jumps onto Sora's shoulders, "Donald"

Goofy also jumps onto Sora and Doanld, "Goofy!"

Sora can't hold them up, so they fall in a pile.

"It seems we were fated to meet. Maybe you need a guardian" said Auron

Sora pushes Donald and Goofy off him.

"Guardian? Thanks, but no thanks" replied Sora.

Sora starts to walk to the passageway. Auron slightly chuckles. Goofy and look around and looked worried.

"Where's Andi?" asked Goofy.

"Huh?" said Sora turning toward them.

"Andi's not here" replied Donald.

"We lost sight of her when Hades chased us" explained Goofy.

Sora looks around and sees that Donald and Goofy were right. Sora goes to the door. Auron stops him, He looks at Auron.

"You can't help her now" said Auron.

"You don't get it! She was counting on me" replied Sora.

"There's nothing you can do for her now except get yourself killed" explained Auron.

Sora looks down and sighs in defeat. Donald and Goofy walk over to Sora. "Auron's right. We gotta get out of here then we can help Andi" said Goofy.

Sora looks up and nods in determination.

Xxxxxxxxx

Pete meets with Hades. Andi tied up with her mouth covered and glaring at them. Hades pacing through the room with his hand on his chin.

"I got Heartless all over the Underworld now. So you can leave those pipsqueaks to me" said Pete sitting on the table.

"Look, pal, you just keep working on turning Hercules into a Heartless. Then he'll be all mine" continued Pete as he jumped off the table.

Hades stops and turns around angrily, turning red, "this is my underworld, you idiot!" yelled Hades as he turns red.

Pete jumps back.

"I'll handle this MYSELF!" said Hades as he walks up and looks at Andi trying to get out of smoke like ropes that had a hold on her. Hades slightly cools down and snaps his fingers. Hades' giant three-headed dog shows up in the window.

"Cerberus, go!" ordered Hades, the dog leaves in a hurry.

Xxxxxxx

Sora, Donald, Goofy, and Auron run to the entrance of the Cave of the Dead.

"What? It's closed!" says Donald

Sora, Donald, and Goofy try to push apart the doors.

"Come on, open!" said Sora

Donald looks up and sees a keyhole chained to the door. The keyblade appears in Sora's hand.

"Will that open it?" asked Auron

"Yeah. I think so" replied Sora

Sora starts to point the keyblade at the lock, when they hear a roar and look behind them.

"Hurry!" said Auron.

Auron readies his sword. Cerberus jumps into the entrance way. Sora unlocks the door and the keyhole and chains vanish. Donald and Goofy open the doors as Cerberus runs up to them. Auron stops them by shoving his sword between one of the dog's teeth. He holds them there, until pulling the sword out and knocking them away. Sora runs to the door, but turns around and sees Auron fighting alone. Sora runs to the exit and stops.

"Uh..." said Donald

Sora looks at Auron then at the others.

"Sora wait!" yells Donald

Sora runs back into the fray. The dogs roar and Sora and Auron fights them. Cerberus jumps up and slams to the ground on his four feet. Auron attacks Cerberus several times, Sora joins in. One of the heads bit Sora and made him fly.

Sora spins in mid air with a back flip and attacks Cerberus again. Auron joins with Sora using Bushido, then does Shooting Star and Banishing Blade a few times and then they use Spiral. Cerberus starts shooting dark orbs and they fly around the room land on the ground trying to hit Sora or Auron. Sora jumps to dodge it and attacks Cerberus. Auron hits behind, Cerberus spins around fast hitting Sora in the process of attacking Auron.

Sora back flips in mid air again as Auron attacks and blocks from the biting heads. Cerberus jumps and lands hitting Auron then jumps around while turning to Sora. Sora jumps and attacks the head. The heads went at him together he holds himself from being bit. The middle one goes to attack which Sora jumps and puts the keyblade to his mouth from chopping. He then jumps in the air as the middle one went to bit and a static power was around Sora's body. Then falls down head first and hits Cerberus making him become unconscious as Auron and Sora attack and defeating Cerberus.

Cerberus, nearly beaten, struggles to stand.

"Come on!" yells Donald

Sora and Auron run through the gates, which start to close. Sora, Donald, and Goofy make faces at Cerberus, as it runs to the closing doors.

Meg speaks to Hercules in the Coliseum Foyer.

"Come on, Wonder boy, play hooky for a day. For old time's sake?" asked Meg.

"They came to see me. They came to see a hero. I can't let them down" replied Hercules tired.

Meg sighs, seeing his tired condition.

"Don't worry, Meg. I'll be fine. What does a hero need rest for, huh?" asked Hercules trying to not worry her as he flexes his biceps and waves goodbye to Meg, "See ya!" he said as he leaves into the Coliseum to cheering crowds.

"Sora, don't let me down" whispers Meg.

Xxxxxxxx

Sora, Donald, and Goofy stand in the Underworld Entrance.

"Whew..." said Sora.

"Huh?"

"What happened to Auron?" asked Goofy.

"He can take care of himself. Let's go find Meg. Then we can try this again and save Andi" replied Sora.

Donald and Goofy nod as they ran out of the Underworld.

Hades sits in his Chamber with Pete, Pain and Panic watching anxiously.

"Let me see if I got this right... These two brat's keyblades works on any lock?" asked Hades

"That's right" answered Pete.

"Have I ever told you about the killer coliseum we have right here in the Underworld? It makes the one upstairs look like an Olympic kiddie pool" replied Hades laughing.

"Then that's the place we're gonna put an end to Herc the Jerk's winnin' streak" said Pete pounding his fist on the table making Pain and Panic jump. Andi glares at them as she listens.

"Problem. Zeus locked it tight" commented Hades.

Pete looks annoyed. Hades chuckles and Pete understands.

"Bingo... All we got to do is swipe one of these keys...and then reopen then Under dome!" said Hades.

"Hate to tell ya, but these keys are kinda particular. It won't work for just anybody. And that kid ain't no pushover and smart mouth over there-"

Hades taps a finger on the arm of his chair.

"I think this calls for a woman's touch" interrupted Hades.

He snaps his fingers, and with a puff of smoke, a doll version of Meg appears in his hand.

In the Foyer, Meg feels like she's being watched.

Xxxxxxxx

Sora, Donald, and Goofy walk into the Coliseum Gates.

"Gawrsh, this sure does bring back memories!" commented Goofy

They walk to the Lobby doors and see a tired Hercules walk out.

"Sora! Donald! Goofy! When'd you get here?" asked Hercules happily.

"Hey, Herc!" greeted Sora

"Hi!" waved Donald.

"Howdy there!"

Hercules walks down the steps closer to them. Meg appears in the doorway.

"You on another adventure?" asked Hercules.

"Yeah, trackin' down some friends, wipin' out some Heartless" replied Sora

"Junior heroes, always busy!" commented Hercules as he and Sora lock hands; "You know it!"

They enter the Coliseum Foyer.

"So, did you find those friends of yours?" asked Hercules.

"Still working on it. When we got here, we ran into Meg-meg-mega trouble, I mean! So we had to help somebody out. We tried to go teach Hades a thing or two...but the Underworld drains away all our strength. Don't suppose you have any ideas?" asked Sora.

"Well, there is a stone that guards against the Underworld's curse. The gods on Mount Olympus use it whenever they have to go down there" answered Hercules.

"Think we could use it?" asked Sora.

"Sure, why not! I'll go get it for you" offered Hercules.

"Thanks!" said Donald

"Real nice of you!" thanked Goofy.

"But Hades is no pushover, even if you've got the Olympus Stone. And I have a match today, so I can't go with you... Know what you need? Training! Why don't you go talk to Phil?" suggested Hercules.

"Hey, good idea!" agreed Sora.

They enter the Coliseum and see Phil, who's not looking in their direction.

"Hey champ, how ya feeling? Better rest up for tomorrow's match. Nobody's gonna pay to see a worn-out hero...capiche? Remember what I told you. Victory in the games comes down to two simple words: Eat, bathe, sleep!" said Phil as he puts two fingers out.

Goofy is counting the words on his fingers. The three look at each other and laugh. Phil jumps around, and realizes who's laughing. He runs over to them.

"Hey, if it ain't the junior heroes!" greeted Phil

"Lookin' good, Phil" commented Sora.

"Never better! How you guys been? Have you earned your "true hero" wings yet?" asked Phil looking at the boys.

They think it over for a second.

"Nope, you ain't got what it takes" replied Phil.

They're surprised at this. Sora scratches his head "What?!"

"So, what's up?" asked Phil

So they explain to him what they have been doing before they got there.

"Ha ha ha! You three are gonna take on Hades?" laughed Phil.

"What's so funny!?" yelled Donald.

"Yeah" said Sora putting his hands on his hips insulted.

"You got nerve. I like that. Hey, you never know-stranger things have happened, right? Better get cracking, boys! So you want to train, eh? All right, I'm gonna work you hard!" commented Phil.

Sora smashes pots and collects the orbs that come out of them.

"How was THAT?" asked Sora proudly.

"It ain't over yet, kid! There's more on the menu. You can relax once you've finished ALL the training" replied Phil.

"No problem!"

"Now get ready for the real thing. If a big one appears, don't let it get away"

Sora smashes more pots and collects the orbs as he finishes his training he wipes some sweat off his brow. Hercules enters the Coliseum and joins the group.

"Listen, I gotta take off for a bit" said Phil.

"Where to?" asked Sora curious

"None of your beeswax"

Phil leaves and the three look at Hercules.

"Sorry, guys... The Olympus Stone has been stolen" said Hercules really upset...
