For the last time, I do not own kingdom hearts.

"Go on."

Phil sighed. "Thus, I do hereby dub thee junior heroes, and confer upon thee full rights and privileges to participate in the games. Further-"

Alex and Donald exploded. "Hey! What do you mean "junior heroes"?"

Phil grinned. "You rookies still don't understand what it takes to be a true hero."

Goofy rubbed his head. "So, what does it take?"

"Well for starters it..." Hercules put his hand over Phil's mouth.

"Well, that's just something you'll have to find out for yourselves. Just the way that I did."

Sora smiled. "No problem. We'll start by proving ourselves in the games."

Alex agreed. "Yeah. Which reminds me. When are the next games?"

Phil gave them a look that said "Are you stupid"?

"There ain't gonna be any games for a while. Gotta clean up the mess from that last battle first."

"Okay, we'll be back."

Back in the coliseum...

Sora spotted Cloud on the steps. "Hey, are you all right?"

"Yeah."

"So why did you go along with him, anyway?"

Cloud looked down at his feet. "I'm looking for someone. Hades promised to help. I tried to exploit the power of darkness, but it backfired. I fell into darkness, and couldn't find the light."

Alex patted his shoulder. "Hey, you'll find it. We're searching, too."

Cloud looked up. "For your light? Don't lose sight of it." Cloud stood up and walked off. Sora called after him.

"How about a rematch sometime? Fair and square, no dark powers involved."

Cloud smirked. "I think I'll pass." He walked off to the gate.

Donald turned to the rest of the group. "You guys ready to go?" Alex smiled.

"As ready as we'll ever be." The group walked off to the gates. Soon the sky grew dark and Hades appeared.

"He's strong, he's kind. He's always there for you, and he's handsome to boot. He's perfect. Perfect. Perfectly infuriating!" Hades exploded in fiery blast. "He makes me crazy. Wait a minute. What are you talking about? All the pieces are in place. Relax. Here's what you do. Let Hercules train the kid. In the next games, I'll take care of them both." Hades looked out of the corner of his eye.

"Who invited you to the party? Stay out of this. This is my show."

Behind him there was a witch. She stepped of the dark portal.

"As you wish. Fight to your heart's content. But that boy..."

"What, the one that beat Cloud. What about him?"

She grinned evilly.

"He is a powerful fighter, isn't he?"

"So?"

"He would be quite useful, but also quite dangerous to our plans. You see, deep in his heart, he longs for something we have, just like that other boy." An image appeared in her hand. It was of a girl with short red hair.

We must either take control of him, or eliminate him."

"Whatever you say, Maleficent."

The witched disappeared.

"So Alex, what's up with that keyblade?" The party had boarded the gummi ship, already halfway to another world.

Alex summoned his Keyblade. It was like Sora's, but pure golden, with a star keychain at the end. Alex looked at it closely.

"I don't know, I just heard this voice that told me to summon it. Maybe we can ask Leon about it."

"Maybe..."

There was a silence. Goofy walked up to the monitor. "Hey look, another world. Maybe the king is down there."

Donald looked up. "In a backwater place like that! Don't make me laugh." He returned to the control panel.

Sora jumped up, knocking Alex over. "What about Riku and Kairi!"

"They can wait. We have a mission."

Alex followed Sora, rubbing his head. " Just land!"

"No!"

"Come on!"

"Aw, phooey!"

Alex grabbed the controls. "That's it, we're landing!"

"Don't touch that! Nooo!"

Alex called back to Sora and Goofy. "Excuse me passengers, please fasten your seat belt's and prepare for crash land."

The gummi ship flew down out of control.

Sorry if it's a little short. Please read and review.
