"Alright guys, this is gonna be a tough one. A bunch of weirdo's signed up. You'll have to try your hardest."

"Don't worry Phil, we'll be fine," Alex assured him. They were outside talking to Phil.

"Alright, whatever you say. Ready for the first round?"

Sora, Alex, and Goofy nodded their head furiously. Donald stood off to the side, not sure about all this.

"Ready, set, go!"

Alex drew his weapon and looked at their contestants. His eyes grew wide. "Hold on, their heartless!" Sora seemed to notice too.

"Think of it this way. The more we fight, the more heartless we get rid."

The shadows advanced. Goofy was the first to attack, slicing through the heartless with his shield. Donald shot up next, commanding thunder from the sky. Soon enough, the shadows withered away.

"You know, Goofy." Alex patted Goofy's shoulder. "Before I met you, I never thought a shield can be used as a weapon."

Phil walked onto the arena. "Whoa. You guys are better than I thought. You still ain't heroes, though."

The doors slammed open. Everyone turned to face the entrance. There stood a young blond man. He was wearing tattered armor and a torn up cape. He walked past the group, glaring at them.

"Oh boy. Something tells me he'll be a tough one to beat. Who knows, maybe you'll end up facing him."

"Anyway, your next match is about to start. Ready?"

Several matches later.

"Man this is great. I wish he was here to see this."

Alex's curiosity peaked. "Who?"

Phil smiled as though he was talking of fond memories. "Hercules. A hero if I ever saw one. He was the best of the best. Too bad he's of visiting his father. You guys could definitely learn a thing or two about being from him." There was a bell sounding in the background. The happy look went of Phil's face, replaced by the more serious scowl. "You guys better get to the ring for your final match."

At the back of the stadium...

"That little punk is your next opponent, okay? Now, don't blow it. Just take him out."

Cloud smirked. "The great god of the underworld is afraid of a little kid? Sorry but my contract says..."

Hades exploded. "I know! You think I don't know? I wrote the contract!" His already flaming hair went red-hot.

Cloud opened one eye. "Ever heard of anger management, Hades?"

Hades ignored the comment. "I know it says you're only required to kill Hercules in this tournament. But you've gotta fight that kid to get to him. Come on. Hey, it's like that old goat says: Rule 11: It's all just a game, so let loose and have fun with it! I mean, a casualty or two along the way is no big deal, right?"

Cloud just walked away.

Hades frowned. "Hmph. Stiffer than the stiff's back home. But suckers like him are hard to come by."

Sora Alex, Donald and Goofy stepped into the arena. Cloud entered from the other side. "On your marks. Ready? Go!"

Cloud charged, taking out Goofy and Donald immediately with one slash. They flew out of the stadium, leaving Sora and Alex to fight. Cloud turned around, ready to attack. Sora swung his keyblade, hitting Cloud back. Alex swung his sword, parrying Clouds next attack, but put his own leg in an awkward position. He could hear it crack, as he winced with pain.

Cloud walked back, dodging Sora attacks. Suddenly, a black aura appeared around Cloud, engulfing him in darkness. "Try and beat this." He charged, attacking Sora mercilessly. Sora tried hard to fight back, only to get one or two hits in.

"Sora!" Alex ran forward. I've got to stop this guy before he kills him! Alex redrew his sword, running despite the pains from the last hit. Cloud swung his sword upwards, ready to finish off Sora. Down the sword went, but was stopped suddenly. "What the-?"

Alex had blocked the attack. He held his place, despite the fact that his blade was tiny compared to Clouds. Cloud changed his stance, knocking Alex to the side. Alex watched helplessly as Sora took blow after blow. He could feel his anger rising, but at the same time pain overcoming him. I have to protect him. Someway, somehow.

Summon the light. He would have jumped in shock, had not his leg be half broken. It was that voice, the one of Erosion.

What!

Summon it. Now.

Alex put his sword in his left hand, raising his right hand. Soon the pain became too much. The scenery disappeared. A light came into view. He heard a voice talking to him.

"You've got to help Sora. You have to fight."

Wait a minute. Alex thought. I recognize that voice. Hold on that voice belongs to...

"Kairi?"

The light changed form. Soon enough, Kairi appeared in front of him. She took his hand and grasped it firmly.

A light appeared around her traveling down to Alex. He felt his leg heal. He felt something in his right hand. It was the golden keyblade. Again?

He looked up at her. "Kairi?"

"You have to save him. Do it for me. Please."

Alex nodded. She gave one last smile and a hug. Alex blushed furiously.

There was a flash of light and she said one last thing. "Remember, you're the only one who can lead the light."

Personally when I played Kingdom Hearts the first time, I got killed by Cloud, so I thought I'd make it that way for the story.
