Chapter 3: Reunion in Thebes
Ky, Noel, Elena, Ken, Max, Tails, Blaze, Shadow, Storm, Grace, Kiyo and Zatch, Lucky, T.J., Sly, Bentley, Murray, and Lucas leave Divine Kingdom and return to the space area and Ky's group are on Fulgur's back while Noel's group are on Millia's back while covered in light and they make their way for the new world which is Olympus Coliseum and later they arrive at the same world with the city, mountains, and clouds with two statues.
"This is it. Olympus." Ky said.
"It's been a while since we visited there. Let's go and find Sora." Elena said.
Ky and Noel use their Keyblades to create a light portal at Olympus and Fulgur and Millia fly them into the light portal taking them to the world.
"At long last, the time had come. The planets were edging into perfect alignment…and the plan Hades devised eighteen years ago was about to reach fruition. The Fates had predicted this very future; the day he would seize control of Olympus and rule over the cosmos. Hades' previous attempts…using Terra, Draco, Zack, Astaroth, Cloud, Auron, and Siegfried to advance his plans for conquest had failed. The hour was not yet right. Now, the planets were aligned and nothing could possibly go wrong. A wave of darkness lanced down from their celestial rank and one by one, Hades freed the Titans from their prison; some of them are the same monstrosities Sora and his friends had already fought and bested before. With both the Titans and his longing for vengeance against Zeus reinvigorated, Hades began his attack on Olympus." A narrator said.
At what looks like a mountainous pass, Sora, Donald, and Goofy look around.
"What? No fanfare?" Sora asked making a trumpet noise and Donald tries to hear something but nothing.
"Nope." Donald said.
"Hmm, looks like we missed the Coliseum." Goofy said.
"Sora, YOU opened that gate!" Donald said annoyed.
"Hehe… Guess I was a little off again. Sorry. He'll find him, but we gotta go!" Sora said starting to move.
"Up the mountain?" Donald asked.
"Yeah, 'up' is the usual direction." Sora said.
"Well, it never hurts to have your head in the clouds." Goofy said.
"Exactly!" Sora said grinning as he and Goofy start to move.
"Ugh…" Donald sighed.
"Hey, we're going!" Sora called.
"Wait for me!" Donald yelled running after the two.
(Field Theme: Mount Olympus)
(Mount Olympus-Cliff Ascent)
(Information: Head up the mountain!)
Sora, Donald, and Goofy start to move but then they see Shadow Heartless, Soldier Heartless, Air Soldier Heartless, and a Large Body appearing.
"Heartless!" Sora said taking out Kingdom Key.
"Let's get 'em!" Donald said taking out his staff.
"Here we go again." Goofy said taking out his shield.
(Battle Theme: Hero's Fanfare)
(Information: Defeat the Heartless!)
The Shadow Heartless sink into the ground and attack with their claws while the Soldier Heartless deliver a leaping strike but Sora triple slashes with Kingdom Key followed by casting Fire but Air Soldiers try to dive attack but Donald casts Thunder getting them but a Large Body delivers a belly attack at the two but Goofy quickly blocks with his shield and delivers a charging shield strike knocking the big Heartless back stunning it allowing Sora to cast Water and then gets behind and vertical slashes with Kingdom Key followed by an edge slash but the Shadows attack with their claws while the Air Soldiers deliver flying kicks while the Soldiers spin kick but Donald casts Blizzard while Goofy uses Goofy Tornado while Sora diagonal slashes with Kingdom Key followed by a blitz like slash and they defeat all of the Heartless.
"That was a good warm-up." Sora said.
"You said it." Donald said.
"C'mon, let's go find Herc." Goofy said and the two nod.
The trio keep going and Sora starts running up walls to reach the upper part of the mountain and the trio continue to move and later come across a higher part of the mountain.
"I think we might be goin' in circles." Goofy said.
"Sora…" Donald said in a berating tone.
"Did I make a turn at the wrong rock?" Sora asked. "Hercules, WHERE ARE YOU?!" Sora asked in a really loud voice.
(World of Olympus)
Just then black smoke is flying from the sky to where Sora, Donald, and Goofy are and the black smoke reveals a figure which happens to be Hades himself.
"Alright, I know I dotted my I's, crossed my T's, zeroed the hero. So, what gives? Who could possibly be trying to give me a migraine by yodeling that yutz's name?" Hades asked and then he sees the trio.
"Really? Hades?" Sora asked.
"Oh, it's just you three. Oy vey…" Hades said annoyed.
"It's just us? Even for you, that's cold." Sora said.
"Don't forget, I can always turn up the heat!" Hades said.
"Wait, if Hades is here, then where's Herc?" Goofy asked.
"What is everybody's infatuation with that dolt?!" Hades demanded as he turns red but then turns blue again. "You know what, never mind. Never mind. I'm cool. I'm good. Because, Wonderboy will be outta my hair pretty soon." Hades said.
"So, you're up to no good again!" Sora said as he, Donald, and Goofy take out their weapons.
"Of course he is!" Goofy said.
"You bet!" Donald said.
"Whoa, easy. What is this, Sparta? I'm on a schedule here. Don't have time to toss out the ol' fire and brimstone. The cosmos is pretty much waiting for me to you know, conquer it." Hades said.
"Poor Hades. He actually thinks he can actually pull it off this time." Sora said.
Meanwhile a light portal appears at the same mountain and Ky, Noel, Elena, Ken, Max, Tails, Blaze, Shadow, Storm, Grace, Kiyo and Zatch, Lucky, T.J., Sly, Bentley, Murray, and Lucas fly out of the light portal before it disappears and they get off Fulgur and Millia.
"Are we even in the Coliseum?" T.J. asked.
"Doesn't look like it." Shadow said.
"Ugh, this again…" Ky said mildly annoyed.
"Don't worry. If we follow our hearts, we'll be able to find Hercules and Sora." Noel said.
"Yeah. You're right." Lucas said.
"Well, okay. Let's get goin'." Ky said grinning.
The group start to move but then they Zombie Black Xetis and Black Xetis that look like Harpies appearing and so the group prepare to fight.
The Zombie Black Xetis throw their limbs at the group while the Harpy Black Xetis fire feathered arrows and then use their wings to create whirlwinds but Ky aerial slashes at the Harpies while Noel casts Fire while Elena creates magical blades and sends them at the Zombies while Ken unleashes magic music fists but the Harpy Black Xetis deliver flying multi kicks but Tails delivers his flying kick while Bentley uses his RC Chopper to fire missiles while Kiyo has Zatch use Zaker but the Zombie Black Xetis deliver spinning attacks with their limbs but Lucky uses Egg Roll while T.J. dash slashes with his knife while Max uses Shield Boomerang while Murray uses Uppercutbut the Harpy Black Xetis create whirlwinds and then summon lightning strikes but Shadow uses Chaos Lance while Storm uses Iron Tail while Lucas uses PK Flash but the Zombie Black Xetis throw their limbs but Blaze shoots fireballs while Sly uses Cane Push while Grace uses Bite but the Harpy Black Xetis fire feathered arrows but Fulgur attacks with his claws and then delivers a beak strike while Millia delivers a Pegasus kick and then delivers a wing strike and the group defeat all of the Black Xetis.
Meanwhile Hades looks up at the higher mountains.
"Where are my Titans? Show me your power!" Hades commanded and the skies start to darken while a powerful quake occurs.
Back with Ky's and Noel's group they see the sky getting dark.
"The sky…" Noel said.
"It was broad daylight a minute ago." Tails said.
Just then a quake occurs.
"Now an earthquake?" Murray asked.
"Something's not right…" Ky said.
"Agreed." Blaze said.
Sora, Donald, and Goofy look up to see four giants emerging as icy cold mist appears as well as powerful wind while the higher mountains erupt lava and go down the other mountains.
"Ahhh, LOVE the breeze." Hades said.
Ky's and Noel's group see icy mist, wind, and lava.
"What the hell's goin' on?" Ken asked.
"This is a sudden weather change for us." Lucas said.
"This is outta hand." Sly said.
The combined ice, wind, and lava go for Sora, Donald, and Goofy blowing them away and they try to hold on but the combined ice, wind, and lava blow the trio away off the mountain and off into the sky as they scream.
"Well, that sent 'em sailing." Hades said but then sees them going off somewhere else. "Sailing right to where I left… Aw, no biggie." Hades said.
Just then the ice, wind, and lava stop and the group look around.
"That was bizarre." Kiyo said.
"You said it. I dunno what happened, but we'd better keep going before it happens again." Ky said and they nod.
The group keep going and Ky and Noel run up the walls to go for the higher part of the mountain but as they arrive they find someone and it's Hades.
"Hades…" Ky said.
"He IS here." Bentley said.
"Let's kick his ass." Ken said.
"No, we should find out what he's up to." Noel said as they hide behind a rock.
"Good work, boys! So, back to the whole cosmic coup thing?" Hades asked.
"Cosmic coup?" Lucas asked.
"I don't like the sound of that." Bentley said.
"Clearly, Hades has something up his robes." Elena said.
Hades watches the four giants leave but just then a dark corridor appears behind the God of the Underworld.
"Dark corridor." Shadow said.
"Is it a Brotherhood member?" T.J. asked.
"Ugh, really? Are you kiddin'? Geez Louise… Seriously, when it rains, it pours. Okay, who's the new pest?" Hades asked.
"Pests, are we? You haven't changed one bit, God of the Underworld." A voice said.
"Yeah, that ain't no way to say 'hello', 'specially to your old friends." Another voice said and coming out of the dark corridor are the Horned King, Nightmare, Maleficent, Bowser Jr., Porky, Eggman, the Koopalings, the Deadly Six, and Pete.
"Them again!" Zatch said.
"Ugh, of course they'd have to be in this world." Max said.
"Can we kick their asses now?" Ken asked.
"No, we should listen to what they have to say." Ky said.
"Good call." Bentley said.
"Oh, perfect. Now, I gotta put up with you people…" Hades said annoyed. "Funny, I don't remember you guys doing me any memorable favors. So, you guys can keep your Heartless and Black Xetis this time. I'm goin' back to my original plan, okay? Anyway, toodle-loo! The exit's thataway! Hey, it was great seein' ya! HAPPY TRAAAILS!" Hades said.
"Hmph, clearly your brain's been melted by that stupid fire hair of yours. We didn't come for YOU, Blue boy." Bowser Jr. said.
"Indeed. We have our own matter to attend to." Maleficent said.
"We merely wish to seek information from you. We must know if there is a distinctive black box somewhere in this world." The Horned King said.
"Black box, huh? Hmm, black box, black box, black box… Wait, are you guys talking about the one Zeus hid on Earth?" Hades asked.
"Possibly." Eggman said.
"If we were, where might we find it?" Maleficent asked.
"Black box? It's the one they mentioned back at Ba Sing Se." Tails said.
"I don't understand, what's so important about some black box? Why are they after it?" Ky asked.
"Whatever it is, it might be important." Elena said.
"Well, I guess I can give you guys a break. I mean, we were partners once upon a time, Maleficent. So, I'll tell you. If you're truly after the one Zeusy hid, you wanna go to Thebes. It's around there somewhere. It's that big city, right past here. Can't miss it." Hades said.
"Thanks, Hades." Porky said.
"Guess you're not TOTTALLY useless." Bowser Jr. said as they disappear in a dark corridor.
"Well, with that outta the way, now I can finally get even with Zeusy High and Mighty!" Hades said as he disappears in smoke.
The group get out of the rock.
"It's just like what Aptus said, he's still bent on taking over the world." Lucas said.
"Not if we have anything to say in the matter. Even not in the Underworld, I doubt Hades is a push over, so we'll have to seek help from Herc and Sora." Ky said.
"Right, but where?" Murray asked.
"Tails, Bentley." Ky said.
"Yeah." Tails said as he and Bentley use their techno maps.
"Hmm, well, according to my techno map, Sora, Donald, and Goofy went flying off of here before we even got here." Bentley said.
"Well, let's follow the location. Hopefully, we'll be able to find 'em." Ky said as he gets on Fulgur's back while Noel gets on Millia's back and the two start to fly off the mountain.
Meanwhile in a city that's under fire and many buildings are damaged Hercules is repairing something but then he hears a scream and turns to see three figures which are Sora, Donald, and Goofy flying from the sky and so Hercules jumps toward them and Hercules grabs Sora and Goofy and he lands with the two on his shoulders.
"See? Found him." Sora said smiling.
"Yep, guess this counts." Goofy said.
"Hey! Get me down!" Donald yelled as he's hanging from a lion statue from his scarf.
"Just a second!" Hercules called while Donald crosses his arms annoyed.
Later Hercules gets Donald down and meets the three again.
"You guys are here! Sora, Donald, Goofy! You literally dropped in. Gotta say, I'm impressed." Hercules said.
"Thanks." Donald said.
"Liked the catch." Goofy said.
"Yeah, thanks, Herc! But, what's goin' on around here?" Sora asked looking at the damages around the city.
"Take a guess; starts with an H." Hercules said.
"Ahh, I get the picture. Actually, we ran into the H-ster on the way here." Sora said.
"He said somethin' about conquerin' the whole cosmos." Goofy said.
"All of it? Well, nice of him to show a little self-restraint. Whatever he's planning, I'll send him running back across the Styx." Hercules said.
"That's our Herc!" Sora said smiling.
(Thebes-Agora)
(Information: Make your way to the agora!)
The trio start to move while talking to Hercules.
"So, Sora, is there a reason you guys are visiting? I'm guessing it's not for the cheese and olives." Hercules said.
"Oh, yeah!" Sora said.
"It sounds like somebody forgot." Goofy said.
"That's Sora!" Donald said.
"I just took my time remembering. Herc, I came here so I could ask you something." Sora said.
"Ask me?" Hercules asked.
"Yeah, you remember the last time we were together? You were feeling down and out. How'd you get your strength back, when you jumped in to save Meg?" Sora asked.
"Hmm, that's tough. All I know is that she was in trouble. Suddenly, I wanted to rescue her with all my heart, but…it's not like I can tell you how." Hercules said.
"Aw, man…" Sora said sadly.
"What's wrong?" Hercules asked.
"All my strength has gone from me too. That's why I need you, because I was hoping you might have a solution or something." Sora said.
"Sorry, Sora." Hercules said.
Just then they look up to see two creatures flying toward the town.
"What's that?" Goofy asked.
"Heartless?" Donald asked taking out his staff.
"No…doesn't look like it." Sora said getting a closer look and sees a griffon and a Pegasus flying. "They look like flying creatures." Sora said.
Fulgur and Millia are flying toward Thebes and the group see the chaos going on.
"Holy crap…" Ken said.
"This place is in big trouble." T.J. said.
"Sora, Donald, and Goofy are here in the city." Tails said.
"And they're not alone." Bentley said.
"Faster, Fulgur." Ky said.
"Let's hurry, Millia." Noel said.
Later Fuglur and Millia land on Thebes at the agora in front of the trio and Hercules.
"Whoa…" Sora said.
"Looks like we made it." Ky said getting off Fulgur.
"Ky!" Sora cheered.
"Hey, Sora." Ky said grinning.
"We're here." Noel said getting off Millia.
"Noel!" Sora cheered.
"I'm glad to see you again, Sora." Noel said smiling.
"Oh, boy!" Donald cheered.
"You're all here!" Goofy cheered hugging Max.
"Hi, Dad. Nice to see you." Max said.
"Wow, first, Sora, Donald, and Goofy and now you guys are here! It's great to see you guys again!" Hercules said.
"Back at ya, Herc." Ky said.
"I'm so glad to see you again too." Noel said.
"So, what're you guys doin' here?" Donald asked.
"We're on a mission, Birdbrain." Elena said.
"Nice to see you too, Elena." Donald said crossing his arms but Elena casts Thunder on the duck.
"You two became Masters and already you're on a mission!" Goofy said.
"Well, we ARE gonna be busy, Dad." Max said.
"And you're still helpin' 'em, huh? You'll become a great Royal Guard someday." Goofy said.
"So, about this mission…" Sora was cut off.
"Pika!" Storm said pointing at something.
"Eevee!" Grace said also pointing at something.
The group look up to see falling fireballs landing on the agora in front of the group revealing to be Flame Core Heartless.
"Heartless!" Donald said.
"Hmph, finally! Something to attack while in this place." Shadow said.
"Sora?" Ky said taking out Dawn of Hope.
"Yep, let's do this together, as usual!" Sora said smiling taking out Kingdom Key.
"We'll have our reunion later. Let's focus on the Heartless." Noel said taking out Radiant Salvation.
(Information: Defeat all of the Heartless!)
The Flame Core Heartless shoot fireballs at the group who dodge and Ky coats Dawn of Hope with Water magic and delivers a water slash while unleashing powerful water while Noel triple slashes with Radiant Salvation and then changes her Keyblade into a different one which is Elements of Peace and vertical slashes with her new Keyblade while Sora casts Water and then slashes with Kingdom Key but the Flame Core Heartless unleash streams of flames at the group but Max and Goofy block with their shields and then they both deliver a powerful shield hurricane spin strike while Hercules coats himself with a gold aura and delivers a powerful aura explosion but the Flame Core Heartless coat themselves with flames and roam around and deliver a fiery explosion but Elena coats her magic blasts with Blizzard magic and unleashes icy magic blasts freezing them while Lucas uses PK Freeze while Tails unleashes Magic Hand and it delivers a punch but the Flame Core Heartless shoot fireballs but Bentley throws ice bombs freezing them while Kiyo has Zatch use Zaker while Donald casts Water but the Flame Core Heartless unleash streams of flames but Lucky uses Egg Throw while Murray uses Turbo Charge while T.J. uses Knife Throw but the Flame Core Heartless coat themselves with flames and roam around while unleashing fiery explosions but Blaze manipulates their flames and delivers a powerful claw attack while Sly uses Cane Spin but the Flame Core Heartless shoots fireballs but Shadow uses Chaos Spears while Storm uses Volt Tackle while Grace uses Growl while Ken coats magic music notes with Water magic and sends them to strike while Fulgur delivers a claw strike while Millia attacks with her wings and the group defeat all of the Heartless.
"Hercules!" A voice called and they turn to see Pegasus flying to the them on Pegasus are Meg and Phil. "You're okay." Meg said.
"Meg!" Hercules said.
"Boy, that didn't looked so fun." Meg said.
"No, not with the Heartless and the Black Xetis involved. We're just lucky our friends showed up." Hercules said.
"Well, whaddya know? Sora, Ky, Noel, and everyone. Guess, I owe you guys a big thank you." Meg said.
"Meg, you need to stay someplace safe. We'll search the city and make sure everyone manages to clear of the fire." Hercules said.
"Be careful, Wonderboy." Meg said.
"I will. So, you guys in?" Hercules asked.
"Of course we're in." Sora said.
"You bet we are!" Ky said.
"We'll our best to help you." Noel said.
"Yeah, we're heroes!" Donald said.
"This time, I'm not offended by that." Tails said.
"Break a leg then, heroes." Meg said.
"Phil, you should go with Meg." Hercules said.
"You got it, Champ!" Phil said as he goes with Meg to get back on Pegasus who is flirting with Millia who blushes at the male.
"Pegasus, you gotta keep 'em safe." Hercules said and Pegasus nods and then flies off.
"So, what should we do first?" Max asked.
"Heeelp!" A voice cried.
"Hey, I hear a voice!" Goofy said.
"Me too." Max said.
"Someone help us!" Another voice cried.
"Another one?" Blaze asked.
"Two voices? Where are they coming from?" Hercules asked.
"The voice I hear came from over there." Goofy said.
"That second voice came from there." Blaze said.
Hercules sees a little girl stuck on a building wall.
"Help me!" The little girl cried.
Hercules then turns to the other side and finds a little boy stuck on a pole.
"Please help me!" The little boy cried.
"Oh, no! They're both in trouble!" Hercules said.
"How can we save 'em if they're apart from each other?" Sora asked.
"We got this!" Ky said getting on Fulgur while Noel gets on Millia.
"You guys sure?" Hercules asked.
"We got the boy. Sora, you try and save that girl." Noel said as they fly off to save the boy.
"Okay. C'mon, Herc!" Sora said starting to move.
"Wait, running's too slow." Hercules said.
"Then, what's the other option?" Sora asked.
Hercules looks around to find a statue of himself.
"Get on that." Hercules said.
Sora, Donald, and Goofy get on the Hercules statue.
"Is it safe?" Donald asked.
"I hope so." Goofy said.
"You sure this is safe, Herc?" Sora asked.
"Hold on tight!" Hercules said lifting the statue.
"W-Wait, Herc! I don't think this is a good idea!" Sora said but Hercules throws the statue over to the little girl. "Not agaaain!" Sora yelled.
Meanwhile Ky's and Noel's group save the little boy.
"Thank you guys for saving me." The little boy said.
"No problem. Be careful next time." Ky said and the little boy nods.
"You're my heroes!" The little boy said running off.
"Well, that settled it." Lucas said.
"Wonder how Sora's doing." Elena said.
"I'm sure he's fine, knowing him." Ky said.
"Oh, we didn't a chance to ask him about if he got his lost strength back yet." T.J. said.
"I'm sure he found a way." Noel said.
"We'll ask him the next time we see him. Right now, we'd better start helping more people in this town." Ky said and everyone nods.
"Then what?" Ken asked.
"Then we find Hades and beat him." Shadow said.
"Sounds like a plan." Sly said as they start to move.
Meanwhile Sora, Donald, and Goofy save the little girl.
"Thank you for saving me." The little girl said running off.
"Wonder how Ky and Noel did." Sora said.
"They're fine. After all, they're Keyblade Masters now." Donald said.
"They said they're on a mission, but what was it?" Goofy asked.
"I wanted to ask, but the Heartless got in the way. I'll ask 'em when we see 'em again. Right now, we'd better check and see if anyone else needs us." Sora said and the two nod.
"Well, well, well, if it isn't Sora and the King's pawns." A voice said and they see a dark corridor appearing and coming out are the Horned King, Nightmare, Maleficent, Bowser Jr., Porky, Eggman, the Koopalings, the Deadly Six, and Pete.
"Maleficent, Pete, Bowser Jr., Porky, Eggman!" Sora said.
"And the Koopalings and the Deadly Six!" Donald yelled.
"But, who're the other two?" Goofy asked looking at the Horned King and Nightmare.
"So, you are Sora?" The Horned King asked.
"This is the one, who defeated you before, Maleficent? How laughable." Nightmare said.
"What'd you say?!" Sora demanded.
"Ugh, as if seeing Ky and Noel wasn't bad enough, now we have to deal with YOU!" Bowser Jr. said.
"Are you guys the reason the Heartless are here?" Sora asked.
"Certainly not." Maleficent said.
"We have other matters to attend to, you fools." Eggman said.
"Hey, guys. I dunno about the two doofuses, but Kid Keyblader here looks way punier than the last time we saw him." Pete said.
"Yeah, he's just as weak than Ky and Noel." Larry said.
"Let's finish 'em off!" Zazz said.
"Patience. This is not the reason we are here." Master Zik said.
"Indeed. The boy is inconsequential." Maleficent said.
"Remember why we're really here." Porky said.
"Oh, yeah! We gots to find that black box!" Pete said.
"Oh, yeah. It's somewhere around here." Zomnom said.
"SHUT UP!" Bowser Jr. shouted breathing fire at the two and they're now burned.
"Dealing with these three losers is less trouble, but I'm not in the mood to break a nail." Zeena said.
"Now then, we shall meet again, as well as Ky and Noel, when we have time for such trifles." Maleficent said as she summons a dark corridor.
"Farewell, fools. When the time is right, we shall destroy you in good time." The Horned King said.
"Yeah, and youse better get your act together before then." Pete said.
"Later, morons!" Bowser Jr. said.
"Nanananana!" Porky said spanking his behind as the villains go into the dark corridor before it disappears.
"Wait!" Sora called but the dark corridor is gone.
"Sora…?" Donald asked.
"It's fine. I can take it." Sora said.
"Gawrsh, it sure don't sound like it. Did the bad guys sayin' mean things bother ya?" Goofy asked.
"It's fine! I can take it!" Sora said.
"You're gonna get stronger!" Donald said.
"We know ya can take it!" Goofy said.
"Don't say that!" Sora said.
"I was just sayin' what he said." Goofy said.
"He can take it." Donald said.
Just then they see Fulgur and Millia flying to them.
"You okay, Sora?" Ky asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine." Sora said.
"That didn't sound like fine to me." Noel said.
"Is everything okay?" Tails asked.
"It's nothing. Really, I'm fine." Sora said.
"Um, okay. Well, we're gonna scout the city more to see if anyone else needs help." Ky said.
"We figured if you guys wanna come with and help." Zatch said.
"Of course!" Goofy said.
"Yeah, when we're together, we can do anything." Donald said.
"Then it's settled. Let's get going." Murray said.
(Thebes-Overlook)
(Information: Make sure everyone in Thebes gets to safety!)
"Hey, Ky, Noel, you said you have a mission, right? What mission?" Sora asked.
"It involves with Hades, again." Ky said.
"Oh, I gotcha. We actually ran into him before we got here." Sora said.
"He said he's gonna try and take over the whole cosmos." Goofy said.
"The whole thing?!" Tails asked.
"Guess that's what he meant by 'cosmic coup'." Bentley said.
"How desperate is he?" Elena asked.
"Very." Donald said.
"Well, let's help everyone here first and then deal with Hades before he succeeds." Noel said.
"Good idea." Sora said.
The group start moving through the overlook of Thebes but then they run into more Flame Core Heartless as well as Flame Wraith Black Xetis and they unleash fire attacks at the group but Blaze manipulates the flames and counters against them while Elena shoots water magic bolts while Donald casts Blizzard but the Flame Wraith Black Xetis unleash fireballs and send them to attack but Max uses Shield Boomerang while Storm uses Skullbash while Lucas uses PK Thunder but the Flame Core Heartless unleash fireballs but Goofy uses Goofy Turbo while Sly uses Cane Push while T.J. multi slashes with his knife but the Flame Wraith Black Xetis unleash streams of flames while the Flame Core Heartless coat themselves with flames and roam around and unleash a fire explosion but Lucky uses Egg Roll while Kiyo has Zatch use Zakeruga while Bentley uses his RC Chopper to fire missiles but the Flame Core Heartless unleash streams of flames while the Flame Wraith Black Xetis unleash waves of flames but Shadow delivers Chaos infused multi punches while Murray uses Tornado Punch while Grace uses Tackle but the Flame Wraith Black Xetis create homing fireballs and sends them to strike but Ken unleashes magic music waves while Tails throws ring bombs while Fulgur delivers a strike with his beak while Millia delivers a Pegasus kick but the Flame Wraith Black Xetis unleash streams of flames while the Flame Core Heartless coat themselves with flames and unleash a fire explosion but Sora diagonal slashes with Kingdom Key followed by casting Water while Noel casts Blizzard followed by casting Water and then horizontal slashes with Radiant Salvation while Ky vertical slashes with Dawn of Hope followed by a somersault slash and they defeat all of the Black Xetis and Heartless.
After the fight the group find a wall of flames blocking their path.
"Again with this." Ky said.
"Touching it's outta the question." Sora said.
"I did this before. Don't worry." Blaze said as she manipulates the flames of the fire wall.
"Oh, yeah! Blaze's flame powers can help us." Goofy said.
"But she'll need help, Dad." Max said as he takes out his shield.
"I got an idea too!" Goofy said as he uses his shield as a board. "Sora, Donald, get on!" Goofy said.
"Oh, yeah!" Sora cheered.
"We'll get through in no time flat." Ky said.
The group go to Blaze and Goofy and Blaze manipulates the firewall for safety while Max helps with blocking the flames with his shield while Goofy uses his shield like a board and they later reach the other side of Thebes.
The group continue through Thebes and reach the roof part of the city but then they see more people under attack but Black Xetis and Heartless and so they attack the Black Xetis and Heartless and begin saving more people and keep going for different parts of the town and with Blaze, Max, and Goofy they manage to get through more flames and reach the next side but then they see a building going down.
"The building!" Donald said.
"This is all goin' to hell!" Ken said.
"Gawrsh, I hope they got insurance." Goofy said.
"If there's anybody else still stuck out here, we'd better find 'em fast." Sora said.
"Agreed. Let's hurry and help!" Ky said.
The group continue to find more people being attacked by Black Xetis and Heartless and after defeating them and saving more people the group go to a different area of Thebes.
(Thebes-Gardens)
The group are in the gardens area and they continue to search for more people and they find a woman on a pole surrounded by Black Xetis and Heartless.
"Someone help!" The woman cried. "Where did all these monsters come from? Hercules, where are you?!" The woman asked.
"Look!" Donald said.
"She's in danger." Kiyo said.
The group rush to help out.
"Stay up there." Ky said.
"We'll put these hotheads out." Sora said.
"Huh? Who are you guys? Where is Hercules?" The woman asked.
"For your information, we're heroes too!" Shadow yelled.
"Let's just take care of the Black Xetis and Heartless." Noel said.
The Flame Wraith Black Xetis and Flame Core Heartless attack with their flames but Ky and Elena join together and unleash powerful water magic while Noel and Lucas join together and create a powerful psychic blizzard while Sora and Goofy join together and Goofy jumps in the air and Sora throws Goofy to slam him to the ground and they defeat all of the Black Xetis and Heartless.
The woman comes down and runs to the group.
"Thank you. You're so kind. Keep training and one day, you'll be great heroes just like Hercules." The woman said leaving.
"'Keeping training'? Is it THAT obvious?" Sora asked.
"Maybe for you." Donald said.
"Donald!" Noel berated making the duck gulp.
"Look, Sora, we're ALL gonna be in need of training still." Ky said.
"But you two are Masters already. What else is there?" Sora asked.
"Try running a new kingdom." Ky said.
"Oh, yeah." Sora said.
"We all have ways to go, but we'll get there together." Goofy said.
"He's right, you know." Bentley said.
The group keep going through the gardens and they find a statue and Sora attacks at its leg knocking it down and destroying a wall.
"Sora, tell me you meant to do that…" Noel said.
"Maybe." Sora said.
"At least we can get through." Goofy said.
"Everything DOES have an upside." Kiyo said.
The group make their way out of the gardens but they see more Black Xetis and Heartless destroying more buildings and so they keep going for the next area of Thebes.
(Thebes-The Big Olive)
The group arrive at the big olive area of Thebes and they find a fiery floor and so they run up the walls to avoid the flames and keep going while fighting off more Black Xetis and Heartless in their way while saving more people who are being attacked and they find another firewall in their way and so Blaze uses her pyrokinesis to control the flames while Max helps by blocking the flames while Goofy uses his shield like a board again and they go through the firewall and keep going through Thebes and continue to help more people while fighting off more Black Xetis and Heartless in their way and later find another area.
(Thebes-Alleyway)
The group arrive at an alleyway of Thebes and they go inside a building where they find Hercules struggling to keep rubble lifted while there are more people.
"Herc!" Ky, Noel, and Sora cried.
"Sora, Ky, Noel…!" Hercules said.
"Those people!" Elena said.
Just then rubble falls at the entrance of the building.
"No!" Donald cried.
"We're closed in!" Tails said.
More Black Xetis and Heartless appear.
"Not more Black Xetis and Heartless!" Sora said.
"This is annoying." Ky said.
"Guys, take them! We need to save these people." Hercules said.
"We're on it." Noel said.
"Leave it to us." Ky said.
"Can you hold building, Herc?" Sora asked.
"No problem…" Hercules said.
"We need to do this quick." Sly said.
"Yeah!" Goofy said.

"C'mon, we gotta get 'em outta here." Ky said.
"Right!" Sora said.
"Please, we need to get to safety, now!" Noel said escorting the people out of the building.
Ky and Sora look at Hercules one more time but they move on as well and they go outside but then the building goes down while dust occurs and the building is destroyed.
"Hercules!" Sora yelled.
"No… Don't tell me…" Ky stops talking.
"Hercules…" Noel said sadly.
The group look sad but then someone emerges from the smoke and it's Hercules.
"Okay! He made it!" Murray cheered.
"You scared us!" Sora said.
"It's nothing. That's what these are for." Hercules said showing his muscles.
Just then a dark corridor appears.
"Now what?" Shadow asked.
"Oh, wow! Very nice. Full marks." A voice said and coming out of the dark corridor is Xigbar clapping.
"Go away!" Donald yelled.
"No Organization!" Goofy yelled.
"Xigbar?! What the hell?" Ky asked.
"We kicked your stupid ass in your world!" Ken yelled.
"I'm guessing you're part of this new Organization XIII." Noel said.
"Aww, all this altruism is giving me the warm and fuzzies. So then, does having a heart of light come with an extremely good insurance policy?" Xigbar asked.
"Shut the hell up!" Ky yelled.
"Just say what you mean." Sora said.
"Oh, but I did, though. No good will ever come from putting other people first." Xigbar said.
"What a stupid thing to say. And what? Hurting people is better?!" Elena demanded.
"I was able to save Meg's life because I was ready to risk my own." Hercules said.
"Because you've got friends from higher places, you mean. Tricks like that don't work for your average joe." Xigbar said.
"Again, shut the hell up! You know NOTHING about Hercules!" Ky yelled.
"Yeah, what do YOU know?! You weren't even there! If you were, you'd admire Herc's courage." Sora said.
"I don't admire one guy leaping into danger if it means someone else might have to jump in to save him." Xigbar said.
"You don't admire anyone, you uncaring sack of crap!" Ken yelled.
"So, since you're doing nothing but pissing us off, piss off or I'll make you!" Ky yelled taking out Dawn of Hope.
"Heh, that's the best tough talk you got, kiddo? I'm sorry, I mean, Your Holiness? And you just became a new Keyblade Master and soon to be the new king! So, how's it goin' for ya two? Having to run your very own home kingdoms, when in reality, you're both lining up to lose out, along with Sora and dooming others to take the fall with ya? What kind of leader does that for their people?" Xigbar asked.
"Be quiet! You can talk all you want about me, but leave Ky and Noel alone!" Sora yelled.
"Oh, you're right! Mister Paragon of Darkness already has plans for 'em. Oh, and you spare me the usual party line. Yes, hearts are powerful when they're connected, but if you put too much of that power in one place, some of those hearts might end up breaking." Xigbar said looking at the group who glare at him. "Still, Sora, Prince Virtus, Princess Noel. That doesn't mean you guys should change. Accept the power you're given. Find the hearts joined to yours." Xigbar said.
"Why should we take advice from YOU?!" Sora demanded.
"No way in hell we're gonna listen to an asswipe wearing an eyepatch!" Ky yelled.
"As if! You don't have any choice but to follow this sweet little trail of breadcrumbs. At the end, you'll finally realize what destiny has in store for you three. In fact, your reward might be right around the corner. You're all so close!" Xigbar said walking away into the smoke and disappears in a dark corridor.
"What an asshole." Ken said.
"Who does he think he is?" Zatch asked.
"Hearts breaking…?" Noel asked.
"Whose hearts…?" Sora asked.
"Ugh, I hate that guy! He thinks he can just say a bunch of crap to try and piss us off and steer us the wrong way! That's their specialty." Ky said.
"Sora, Ky, Noel, don't let him bother you guys." Hercules said.
"Yeah, it's like you said, Ky. He's just trying to piss you guys off, but he'll eat his own words soon enough." Elena said.
"We'll all prove him wrong." T.J. said.
"They're right. We'll show him that our sacrifices haven't been for nothing." Hercules said.
"You're right." Sora said.
"We can't stop now." Noel said.
"Besides, we're already proof enough!" Goofy said.
"We defeated that annoying loudmouth before and we can do it again." Shadow said.
"Yeah, we're all a team!" Donald said.
"As long as we all stick together, nothing will stop us." Lucas said.
"Together…" Ky said but then something occurs and a vision shows in a badlands Ky, Noel, and their friends confront an enemy who unleashes dark beams and they get most of the group except for the Virtues. "Ugh…" Ky said holding his head.
"Ky?" Sora asked.
"What's the matter?" Hercules asked.
"Oh, nothing…" Ky said.
"Are ya sure?" Goofy asked.
"You looked like you had a headache there." Kiyo said.
"Seriously, I'm fine." Ky said.
"Oh, okay then. Just remember if something's bothering you, talk to me." Elena said.
"Yeah." Ky said.
"Let's go. Something else should be done in Thebes." Lucas said.
The group start to move but Ky, Noel, and Sora stay behind.
"What reward…?" Sora asked looking at the area Xigbar left.
"What did Xigbar mean by find the hearts joined to ours...?" Noel asked.
"That vision I just saw… What was that…? Are my friends…going to… No. I won't believe it! We'll always be stronger together!" Ky said in his mind.
"Guys?" Tails asked.
"What's goin' on?" Ken asked.
"Oh, sorry." Noel said.
"Let's go." Ky said as they join the others and make their way back to the city of Thebes.
The group make their way back to the city and arrive back at the agora but then they find a giant Heartless that's made of rock and is carrying a giant axe.
"A giant Heartless!" Bentley said.
"It's rampaging the city! We gotta stop it!" Sora said.
(Boss Theme: The Encounter)
(Information: Defeat Rock Troll!)
The Heartless known as Rock Troll swings its axe at the group who dodge out of the way and Ky triple slashes with Dawn of Hope followed by a somersault slash and then covers himself with light and delivers a charging light strike while Noel vertical slashes with Radiant Salvation and then switches her Keyblade with Element of Peace and diagonal slashes and enters her form known as Element Enigma and attacks with various elements such as air, water, fire, and earth as well as weapons such as a staff, whip, broadswords, and hammer while Sora triple slashes with Kingdom Key followed by casting Fire but Rock Troll slams its axe on the ground to unleash slabs of rock but Hercules delivers a giant punch while Goofy uses Shield Charge while Lucky uses Ground Pound but Rock Troll gets on its axe and delivers a spinning strike while throwing small rocks at the group but Elena uses telekinetic magic to lift the rocks and throws them back at Rock Troll while Blaze shoots fireballs while Grace uses Tackle but Rock Troll puts its axe on its face creating armor and charges at the group who dodge out of the way and Lucas uses PK Love while Murray gets into his ball form and delivers a powerful rolling strike while Kiyo has Zatch use Zakeruga and after enough attacks the armor shatters knocking Rock Troll back allowing Donald to cast Thunder while Ken bashes with his guitar and then casts Blizzard while T.J. dash slashes with his knife but Rock Troll retaliates with its double axe swing but Max blocks the attack with his shield and uses Cyclone while Storm uses Iron Tail but Rock Troll slams its axe on the ground to create slabs of rock but Bentley uses his RC Chopper to fire missiles while Tails summons Magic Hand and it delivers a punch while Sly uses Cane Spin while Shadow uses Chaos Rift but Rock Troll unleashes rocks and throws them at the group but Noel uses Element Enigma to unleash air, water, earth, and fire and combines them together to deliver a strike dealing excellent damage but Rock Troll keeps attacking.
"Ugh, we won't stop it like this!" Sora said.
"Sora, Ky, Noel, I got an idea! Get close to me!" Hercules said.
"Okay!" Ky said as they go to Hercules.
"Get ready!" Hercules said as he grabs Sora's legs who grabs Ky's legs who grabs Noel's legs and Hercules starts spinning.
Hercules spins the three Keybearers over and over as they attack Rock Troll dealing great damage and Rock Troll keeps trying to attack but the four keep attacking and later Hercules throws the three into the air and Ky, Noel, and Sora deliver a diving strike at Rock Troll with their Keyblades and they finish off Rock Troll who disappears.
"Take THAT!" Ky yelled.
"Nice one, Herc." Noel said.
"Heroes work well together, right?" Hercules said.
"You know it." Sora said.
Just then they see something flying to them and it's Pegasus and he lands to the group and Meg and Phil are still on Pegasus' back.
"Nice job, Wonderboy." Meg said.
"So, what happened?" Hercules asked.
"We checked the whole town." Phil said.
"Everyone's safe." Meg said.
"That's great. We did all we could." Hercules said.
"You heroes have been busy little bees." Meg said.
"You know us, Meg." Ky said smiling.
"Yeah." Sora said.
"Pika!" Storm said.
"Eevee." Grace said.
"Yoshi!" Lucky said.
"What?" Noel asked as they see the sky turning dark.
"Where's it coming from?" Lucas asked.
"There." Hercules said seeing a mountain having dark clouds.
"More trouble." Meg said.
"What could this mean?" Max asked.
"It's Hades." Hercules said.
"Guys, you know what to do." Ky said and everyone nods.
"Let's go and finish our mission." Noel said.
"Herc, let's go!" Sora said.
"Right." Hercules said.
The group start to make their way out of Thebes and they leave the city.
