(10/24/19 Update: Zip-lines now called Rail Gauntlets, like in KH3)


Shadows Descend Upon The Realm of The Gods!

Greece - Mount Olympus Summit

Sora and Co. ran up the steps leading up to the golden gates. Once there, they took a notice that the area inside was empty, baring one lone glowing Rail Gauntlet that led further into the air; into the clouds.

"Hmm?" Sora raised an eyebrow in question as he looked around "Uh...Anyone home?!" he called out to the empty space beyond the gates, only to be met with silence. He lightly pushed against the gates, opening them as they made a elongated dense creaking sound.

"Maybe everyone's already fighting Hades?" Goofy made an assumption to the rest of the team.

"Could be..." Donald replied

"Then we need to hurry!" Sora affirmed as he started to walk toward the Rail Gauntlet.

"Umm..." Momo spoke up from behind the trio, still on the other side of the gates "Are you guys sure we're even allowed to be here? Isn't this holy ground, you know, only for deities?" the pinkette questioned while bearing closed eyes and an unsure smile. "I would not want to anger the gods."

"I don't think it'll be a problem, I've already proven myself a true hero to the gods of this world."

"Eh?" Momo was not expecting to hear that from him 'A hero even to the gods as well?' she wondered to herself.

"If worst comes to worst, I'll take all the heat for you and say it was my idea." he assured with a smile "You've got nothing to worry about."

Momo cautiously entered the room, as if waiting for a loud voice to make itself known any moment. Once that didn't happen for a few seconds, she quickened her pace and made her way to where Sora was standing.

"Here, you can have this back." she granted Sora his jacket back as she finished her sentence.

"Oh!" Sora began as he gently took it from her hands. "Thanks." he re-equipped his jacket onto himself as he turned to look beyond the clouds in the direction the Rail Gauntlet was leading.

"Nowhere to go, but up!" he cheerfully stated the obvious. He jumped on top of the Rail Gauntlet and started grinding forward and along the Rail Gauntlet with his shoes; glowing a light blue as he did so, going up and into the clouds. Momo watched the boy disappear and not a moment later, opened up her wings in preparation to take off after him.

She turned to Donald and Goofy and asked "You two will be OK?"

Donald nodded "Yeah! We'll be right behind you!" he said with enthusiasm.

With that, Momo took off into the sky, following along the Rail Gauntlet into the clouds.


Greece - Realm of the Gods Apex

"I need more THUNDERBOLTS!" Zeus commanded with a booming yell. He had been warned by Hermes that the Titans had escaped their imprisonment and they were on their way to attack Olympus, so he immediately commanded everyone to a counterattack. He in particular had been warding off the Titans with his mighty thunderbolts forged by Hephaestus the Smith God. Unfortunately, the gods proved to be of little match to the Titans, and for reasons unknown to him, Hephaestus had stopped giving him thunderbolts.

The reason being...

"Uh, Hephaestus has been captured, my lord." Hermes informed Zeus. "Everyone's been captured! I've been captured!" he finished as he was carried off into the sky by Pain and Panic; two imps that were Hades's goons. A shadow was overcast on Zeus as he turned to find Pyros looming over him. The Lava Titan let loose a magma breath, coating Zeus, while the Ice Titan used a frost breath on the magma. The two elements mixed together as the magma was cooled and hardened by the ice breath and rose Zeus into the sky, trapping him in the process.

"Zeusy, I'm hooome!" Hades's called out from the floor to his brother in a mocking manner. Zeus snapped his head down in the direction of Hades's voice

"Hades?..." his eyes went wide in revelation. "You're behind THIS!?" he asked loudly as his expression contorted to one of fury.

"You are correct, sir!"


Greece - Realm of The Gods Entrance/Courtyard

Sora hopped off the glowing Rail Gauntlet and landed on top of golden stairs that were leading up to a set of golden double doors surrounded by clouds. Soon after, Momo landed next to him and disengaged her wings, staring with Sora at the double doors. Behind them, Goofy and Donald were grinding along the Rail Gauntlet, even as they were wobbling to keep balance. Once they reached the end of it, they clumsily fell off and landed together in a heap behind Sora & Momo.

"Oof, Sora makes that look easy..."

"Doooouuuugh..." groaned Donald as he and Goofy collected themselves and stood up, staring at the doors. Sora started to run up the stairs for the doors, with Momo, Donald, and Goofy trailing behind him. He set his hands on the doors and pushed on them to open. The group was wowed by what was beyond the large double doors. A large area illuminated with a warm golden light, with walls made of large fluffy clouds and a marble floor laced with metallic gold strips, lightning bolts, and circles all around. Large Greek columns were lined up into two rows to the sides of the group going further into the room. A strange structure was further in the room, held up by a large pillar made of clouds. Below that pillar was a ring of water lying indented in the marble floor, the indent trailing all over the room.

As he walked in with his allies he asked "Is this, Olympus?" with a smile as he looked around some more.

"Gawrsh, it's amazing..." Goofy

Then, very suddenly and abruptly, music started playing. The crew jerked up in surprise at the sudden music playing from all around them.

"Huh, the fanfare?" Donald asked as he verbally leaned on his forth wall with his question.

Soon after, dark clouds appeared in front of them.

"Nope!" Sora confirmed as everyone got ready for combat. From the dark clouds spawned a mini army of a new type of heartless. They had humanoid figures that had grey skin except their faces, which was the typical heartless black and yellow eyes, only the eyes were slanted to give off an angry expression. They were wearing dark blue-almost black armor that was designed similar to Herc's armor, kilt and all. On the armor was the heartless emblem at the center and indigo highlights around the neck rim, the bottom of the kilt, and the top of the kilt that connected the armor to it. The armor came with pauldrons of the same color and outlines of the same color as the highlights, had one white spike at the center each, and had white wing-like decorations coming out at the sides. Around their forearms were arm-guards of the same color as their armor and indigo outlines at the ends. On their fingers were indigo armor that ended in claws. Their legs were thin and ended in indigo goat hooves. On their heads were helms that had two large horns jutting out and up; horns that faded from purple to blue.

After a moment of glaring, the helms of the heartless came down in front of their faces, locked and ready for combat. Then, the mini-army started to charge at the same time; as one unit!

"Uh oh!" came from a panicked Donald as the vibrations from the stampede coming toward them got more intense.

"I'm ready! Behind me fellas!" shouted out Goofy as he crouched and ducked behind his shield. Sora and Donald swiftly followed his command, with Sora supporting Goofy's shoulder with his right hand, and Donald supporting his lower back with his left hand. As one, they thrusted forward using Goofy's shield, creating a hexagonal barrier of light in front of them and in the process, knocking the heartless mob off balance.

"CHARGE!" yelled the Goof as he and his friends barreled through the heartless shield first as the shield was lit on fire by Donald's magic. The force of the charge broke the heartless formation, sending them scattering all around. Momo took to the sky and summoned her flowers cannons out of her d-dial to see if they fared any better than her tail. The cannons fired at the scattered heartless before they could readjust themselves, knocking them back even further.

'Well, they are wearing armor I suppose...' she mentally noted to herself. She looked forward in concentration, pondering whether to leave it to the boys or to try something else when three other heartless spawned in the air in front of Momo. They had humanoid figures and were constantly flapping their purple wings in order to stay in the air. They were wearing light-beige armor that was designed in a Greecian style; with a helm, armor, kilt, and the outlines of the armor were light-gold. On their knees were round metallic buckles that were outlined in light gold and had a point at the center going outward. Their feet were armored and bird-like; with two talons going forward and one going back behind their heels. Their hands had four digits and were clawed with red tips. The helms they were wearing had a crest of purple hair on top and what looked like a black colored plague doctor mask at the front, covering their faces. The mask was outlined in light gold as well as had two red crosses on the front. Of course, they also had the heartless emblem on the chest armor.

"Oh!" she let out as she swiftly dodged the airborne heartless that tried to tackle her. She used several rapid fire shots from the flower cannons to attack her airborne assailants, knocking them out of flight. While this was happening, Sora and his teammates were still picking off the heartless on the ground. After a few Firaga shots from Sora destroyed a few, he teamed up with Donald to summon many rockets around themselves.

"Flare!" they both shouted in unison as they spun around and launched off the rockets. They flew right at the remaining heartless and exploded into fireworks, destroying the small army on the ground.

"There goes the herd!" Sora loudly stated.

"Sora! Look!" Donald shouted as he pointed to the sky. Sora and Goofy looked up to find Momo in flight against two flying heartless, just as a heart disappeared from the sky into darkness.

'Finally took out one of them with my laser, but...' her thoughts trailed as she scowled and nervously looked at the remaining two. 'Why are they so seemingly difficult to destroy?'

She couldn't think for too long after that, as the two heartless went for a flying tackle yet again. She prepared to use her flower cannons to defend but-

"Thundara!" Sora yelled from the ground below as he raised his Keyblade. The flying heartless were hit by the lightning spell and poofed into black clouds, hearts floating up out of them and disappearing into light with Momo watching. A few moments later, she sent her flower cannons back into the d-dial and flew down to the rest of the team. Once she landed, she bowed to Sora.

"Thanks for your assistance." she thanked the young Keyblade wielder. She returned to neutral standing position and thought 'Well, these three don't seem to have a problem destroying them...maybe they're weak to magic?"

"It's no big deal"

Goofy was looking around, checking the area for any other heartless. It was then that he noticed something else "Where's Hercules?" he asked to no one in particular.

"Maybe he's up there." Donald assumed as he pointed above himself. The rest of the team, looked up and noticed the many Rail Gauntlets going all ways, but mostly up, with a few cloud platforms at the ends of those Rail Gauntlets.

"Alright!" Sora pumped his fist, getting ready to look.


Greece - Realm of the Gods Apex

"I swear to you HADES...when I get out of this!-" Zeus was cut off from finishing his threat by more hardening lava submerging him.

"Nope..." Hades began with a high and mighty tone as he made a dark chair with his powers and proceeded to take a seat. "I'M the one giving the orders now, bolt boy." he summoned a glass of wine to his hand and started to drink when-

"Don't get too comfortable Hades!" shouted a voice all-too familiar to Hades. He spit out his drink in shock and looked behind his chair with an expression that can be read as 'WHAT?!'. For that voice came from Hercules, heroically riding through the sky on Pegasus, sword held high, ready to take down Hades and the other Titans.

"We're gonna stop you!" came another familiar voice from in front of Hades.

"Huh?" He looked to see that it was Sora, Donald, and Goofy with their weapons out and ready to fight. "You AGAIN?!" Hades spat in disbelief that key boy decided to show up too, along with a new companion just beyond the gates of the area.

"So that's Hades..." Momo talked to herself as she kept her eyes on The Lord of The Underworld. "I know Sora told me to stay here to keep me and my plants safe from the Titans. But there must be something I can do..." she observed Hades and The Other Three Titans as she said this outloud, mind racing on to an idea. Hercules swooped down and cut the chains the kept the other gods prisoner with his sword, freeing them.

"GRAHHHGH!" the yell from Hades made Momo jump as he literally went ablaze with rage; his fire-hair and his skin changing from blue to red in the process. "Get Them!" he ordered his three Titans; Hydros, Pyros, and Stratos. The three Titans menacingly moved in toward Sora, Donald, and Goofy, and for a moment, they looked worried about taking on all three at once.

"Sora, Donald, Goofy!" Hercules called out from above them. He jumped off of Pegasus and landed next to the trio. "It's on!" he declared as he braced himself for combat along with his allies.

"Yeah!" Sora, Donald, and Goofy shouted together as they got ready...For a clash with the Titans.


So sorry about this chapter being short and a bit filler like. As you can read, my action scenes still are not that great.

Next time, a clash with the titans and *gasp* some actual PLOT! See you guys then.
