Hades II

The floor of the Olympus Coliseum exploded as fire shot from the Underworld to the sky. Sora jumped from the flaming pillar, landing on the cold stone. The warm air was welcome after the steaming Underworld. The, Hades busted out of the fire, red flames enveloping his body like armor. "You can't run." He shot a fireball at Sora, who rolled out of the way. "You can't hide." He threw another one, missing. "You can't WIN!" Hades whipped up a Firaga Ball, destroying a column as Sora dove behind another. At this time, Donald was ushering Goofy, who was still carrying Hercules, to the top of the stairs.

"Sora!" Goofy dropped the Olympian, pulling out his weapon with Donald. Hades swept his arm back as a troop of Tornado Steps intercepted the duo. Sora sat behind the column, going over his options. There was only one that might work.

"Valor." Sora stepped out from behind the column. "Strike Raid." The Keyblade hit Hades, who turned to Sora as the weapon returned to it's owner.

"That's the last mistake you'll ever make!" Hades rushed over, picking Sora up by the throat. "Any last words?" Sora could barely speak through the crush of the god's grip.

"Just one." Sora rasped out. "Valor!" The explosion of light knocked Hades back. The Tornado Steps focused their attacks on the light, destroying themselves on contact. Sora touched ground in Valor Form, the Diamond Dust and Crabclaw ready. "You can't win Hades. A slight wind blew through the arena. Hercules came to as Sora and Hades charged each other. Sora flipped over Hades, kicking off his back as he went. Hades stumbled, then turned, chunking a Firaga Ball as he did so. Thanks to the increased stamina, not only was Sora able to flip out of the way, he also ran double-time to Hades, cutting across his robe. Hades grabbed Sora by the back of his jacket.

"Ya know, red really isn't your color." Sora flailed around as he was held at a distance. He swung the Keyblades in a hopeless attempt to fight.

"Hey, Hades. You forgot something." Hades pulled Sora's face closer to him.

"Yeah, what?"

"This." Sora spat in his face, Hades dropping him. The saliva evaporated as Hades burst into flames.

"That's it! I'm ending this once and for all!" The earth cracked as flames shot from the ground. Columns shattered from the seismic activity as most of the coliseum's floor was obliterated. Sora rode up on the debris of the ground, Hades leading the chaotic show on the ground.

"Not if I have anything to say about it!" Sora jumped off his platform. "Ragnarok!" The recoil sent him flying up higher as the energy spikes of Ragnarok flew down to the earth. Hades swept his hand in front of him, deflecting the attack.

"You'll have to do better than that!" He threw a Firaga Ball, narrowly missing Sora.

"He's right." Sora said to himself. "I will. Revert!" Sora flashed red, returning to normal form.

"Fool." Hades whipped up another Firaga Ball. "He can't take another hit." He threw the ball.

'Perfect.' The Kingdom Key flashed in Sora's hand. "Let's finish this, Hades!" The Firaga Ball was only a few feet away now. "Zantetsuken!" The key and fireball made contact, knocking the firey attack flying back down to its sender. Hades slid out of the way just in time, but left himself wide open. "Valor!" Sora turned back to Valor form about 15 feet away from the target. "Blitz!" There was an explosion of dust and fire as the attack hit Hades. Donald and Hercules turned to avoid the barrage. AS the dust cleared, Hades was gone, leaving Sora and Goofy in a crater the size of a minivan.
