Hey, everyone, I know this is a short chapter but I'm on a tight schedule at the minute so enjoy.

Chapter 3: The Hounds of Hell

"What!... it must be a coincidence, I lived with foster parents and never knew my own but...wait, it sorta fits. We look similar, we have the same last name... its just... unreal. One minute I'm with my friends in my home world then those things attack and I escape and find a long lost bro... wow, lucky me, huh?" Dav said in a lower, sadder tone than usual, now looking up at the clear blue sky above.

"Heartless..."

"The what?"

"Those creatures are called Heartless...Thinking about it we even have the same story more or less, my home world was also attacked and got I separated from my friends and...Arieth"

"Let me guess, a girl you was quite close too, huh?"

"Yeah, but now they're gone, and I don't know where to lo..."

Before Cloud could finish talking a pillar of blue flame rose from the centre of the ring and a tall figure stood where the flames were.

"Hey, how you doing, nice to meet ya, Hades Lord of the Underworld, sorry to interrupt but you have a job to do my friend as stated in your contract. So if you wouldn't mind moving along kid and let him work "

Dav looked up and the towering figure and scowled "Why should I you pompous fire breathing wind bag?" Dav then took one of his swordsand the air swiftly with a simple swipe. The gust of air created from the quick movement of the blade blew out the flame that was burning on the top of the tall figure's head. Hades looked surprised for a moment and then the flame reappeared and he erupted red flames all around him and shouted at Dav in an angry vicious tone.

"Why you little runt, do you know who your dealing with, I'll show you, you little punk!"

"Calm down, he's just messing, leave him alone. I'll see you later... brother"

With that Cloud and Hades walked away towards a large black gate at the far side of the arena and disappeared into the darkness. Dav just stared into the darkness where his brother had gone and then headed back to the grand courtyard where he first appeared. He found a shady spot to the right of the large doors that lead back into the lobby and threw his swords down and laid next to them. He placed his hands behind his head and stared at the sky before falling into a light slumber.

Dav slowly opened his eyesand the sun was bright despite that he was laid in the shade of a huge statue. He got up and stretched his arms above his head.

"Hmm, I better go check if there's any matches I can compete in"

With that he sprinted to the lobby doors and pushed open one of the large heavy doors to find a worried Phil, a tall muscular man with a gold broach on his torso and an unconscious Cloud.

"Phil, what the hell happened to him? He's out cold!"

"He was in a match against some kid and then Cerberus the guardian of the Underworld knocked him out, the kid is still in there...hey don't go out there its to dangerous..."

But despite Phil's warning he rushed to the arena doors and pushed them open to find a huge three headed black dog stomping around the arena trying to attack a brown haired kid, a duck in a blue suit and what appeared to be a tall black dog with a small shield. Without thinking he drew his swords and sprinted towards the dog that was preoccupied with the others. He jumpedontoone of dog's back legs as it was crouching close to the groundto attack the brunetteand landed on the dogs back butCerberus didn't notice.

"Right, this going to be interesting" Dav whispered to himself as he approached the middle head and slashed at it as it raised its head ready for another strike. It let out a loud roar of pain and then raised its heads all at once and spewed out black energy which sunk into the ground and began to explode at random intervals from the ground like land mines. The explosions seemed to be following the young brown haired boy who so far had managed to avoid them all until he dived out of the way of a large pair of jaws and one struck him followed by another and then another three. He clutched his chest and ran behind the large three headed dog to recuperate.

Dav looked at the suffering brunette and he suddenly clocked on and muttered "Sora..", he closed his eyes and raised his swords above his head and focused his mind to help the struggling youth. A green glow appeared around the young brunette and he looked up to see Dav still concentrating and then ran back into the fray.Dav looked at the dog's powerful jaws as it struck the large dog and flinched at the shot. Ihave to help them get rid of ithe thought as it attacked the shield wielding dog again. The duck yelped in pain and Dav growled and focused all his energies and multiple bolts of fire appeared around him, each burning furiously. They then began toshoot at the dog and collide with it's head, each landing its mark causing theUnderworld Guardian to yelp in pain. Dav then looked at what he had just done and stood still in suprise that he caused such an attack.

Sora saw that Cerberus was temporarily stunned and raised his weapon that resembled a key behind his head and threw it towards the giant dog's middle head. Cerberus let out a final echoing whimper and collapsed to the ground, sending Dav tumbling off the large dog's back and onto his stomach. He flinched at the pain but a moment later a green aura surrounded him and the pain vanished, he turned around to see the small white duck stood there in front of Sora with its staff raised in the air.

"Umm, thanks" stated Dav although confused what to call the small feathered mage.

"Dav...your alright, am I glad to see you" said Sora happily and then pulled Dav into a friendly hug which caused him to gag as the brunette was squeezing hard.

"Heh, yeah... Sora, man you've gotten stronger"

"Oh, sorry, didn't realise my own strength" said Sora as he smiled broadly and rubbed the back of his head with his left hand. The four then walked back towards the lobby, discussing what had happened to them and what the trio was doing at the world famous Olympus Coliseum.
