VS: Alright, nothing interesting to say.
Chapter 6, Dario
Sora, Kairi, and Riku landed in Olympus Coliseum, they had followed Omega there.
"Hello Sora, and…" Hercules said.
"Kairi, nice to meet you."
"Riku."
"Well nice to meet you." Hercules said.
"Hercules, have you seen a large pirate ship? Or a man wearing purple and silver?" Sora asked.
"I did see a man wearing some weird armor walk into the Underworld; he was holding some black heart thing in a jar." Hercules said.
"Thanks." Sora said, before he walked towards the Underworld, followed cautiously by Kairi and Riku.

Meanwhile, in the Underworld, Omega and Hades were talking. Omega was holding a jar with a black heart inside it.
"So, that's a Dark Heart? What do you want in exchange?" Hades asked.
"I want Sora and Riku dead. While they live I can't…" Omega realized there was no benefit in telling Hades his plans.
"Well with that heart I can kill them." Hades said.
"Hmm…" Omega had seen Sora's group kill the Toy Spire. "What do you plan on using the heart with anyways?" Omega asked.
"This." Hades replied. Hades pointed at the ground, a large cauldron filled with what appeared to be the souls of the dead appeared in front of him.
"Well you may have the heart, and take them too." Omega handed Hades the heart in the jar, then some Heartless and Abyss appeared.
"Alright thanks. Want to stick around and watch them die?" Hades asked.
"No, I have plans." Omega said, then he disappeared in a flash of purple lightning.
"Wow, what a creep. Oh well, I got what I need." Hades said.
Hades opened the jar and dropped the heart into the cauldron, the souls rose up into the form of a large man, bigger than Cerberus, without a neck, his body was a mix of souls, and his face was larger than the others, and blue instead of the white souls. His stomach was glowing blue.

Sora and the group walked into the Underworld.
"This place is creepy." Kairi said.
"If this is the Underworld shouldn't we be…Dead?" Riku asked Sora.
Before Sora could answer a lightning ball flew by his head. Sora, Kairi, and Riku saw six Abyss, three of them were Lightning Abyss, solid-yellow with sparks covering their bodies, while the other three were solid-blue colored with ice covering various parts of their body, they looked wet, and they had no features like most Abyss. Behind them was a large, purple-skinned, muscular monster wearing torn shorts and an executioner's hat with two horns sticking out of it. It was carrying an executioner's axe, and there was a rigid black spiral on its chest.
One Ice Abyss charged at Sora and punched him, freezing him in a block of ice. Kairi summoned her Flower Keyblade(1) and hit the Abyss from behind. The Abyss turned around and tried to freeze Kairi, but she dodged and stabbed the Abyss in the stomach. Riku summoned Way to Dawn and smashed the ice around Sora. Sora raised his Keyblade and pointed its tip at one of the Lightning Abyss, and a ball of light shot from the tip and hit the Abyss in the head, destroying it.
Riku ran at one of the other Ice Abyss and swung his Keyblade at its head. The Abyss ducked, then punched Riku in the gut. Riku clutched his stomach, and his hands were frozen onto his stomach. The Abyss created a ball of water and ice and smashed it down on Riku's head. Riku fell to the floor, his head was freezing cold and started to turn to ice.
Kairi had been fighting the Ice Abyss that froze Sora, she sliced off one of its arm, but the arm flailed around and grabbed Kairi's leg, freezing it. The Abyss reared its fist back, preparing to punch Kairi in the face and finish her off. Kairi couldn't dodge the Abyss' fist, so she fell to the floor to duck, then chopped its legs off. The Abyss fell to the floor, it was now a torso with a head and one arm. Kairi meanwhile, had been frozen from the waist down in a bent over position.
Riku woke up from unconsciousness, part of his head was frozen. "Sora, you should be mad, your girlfriend is bent over for that Abyss."(2) He said before his head was frozen.
Sora and Kairi's faces both turned red.
"SHUT UP!" They both shouted at Riku.
The Abyss that Kairi was fighting had done a hand stand, then froze its fingers onto the ground, then the bottom of its torso turned into a large blade of ice. The Abyss started spinning around, cutting Kairi's face as it did so. Sora pointed his Keyblade at the Abyss fighting Kairi, trying to shoot another ball of light. To his disappointment nothing came, so he used a Firaga spell, which destroyed the Abyss. The ice around Kairi melted, and she stood up straight.
"Thanks." She said to Sora.
Meanwhile, Riku had been fighting the second Ice Abyss the best he could with a frozen head. He raised his Keyblade and a ball of darkness hit the Ice Abyss in the chest, blowing a hole through it and destroying it. The remaining Abyss, the Executioner, Ice Abyss, and two Lightning Abyss, turned to face the group of three; the ice on Riku's head had melted. The two Lightning Abyss raised their arms, a large lightning ball formed between them, then the Executioner switched his axe around in his hand so the flat of the blade was facing the lightning ball and then swung the axe at the ball.
The lightning ball seemed to be aimed at Sora and Riku, because it hit them and not Kairi. The Ice Abyss threw a ball of ice at Kairi, but she sliced through it. Sora and Riku were knocked back by the lightning ball, but they got up and ran towards the Abyss. Kairi felt a weird power in her, she raised her Keyblade and a gray beam shot towards the Ice Abyss. The Abyss paused for a moment, before turning towards one of the Lightning Abyss, freezing its arms and legs, then raised it by its throat and threw it off a path in the Underworld. The Ice Abyss then jumped off into the depths of the Underworld itself.
Riku slashed at the Lightning Abyss' chest, creating a deep gash. The Abyss shocked Riku, but he recovered and stabbed the Abyss in the face, destroying it. Sora swung his Keyblade at the Executioner, hitting it in the stomach. The Executioner was unphased, and swung its axe at Sora. Sora tried to defend himself, but the axe knocked him over. The Executioner raised its axe to swing down on and kill Sora, but stopped suddenly.
"Looks like you could use some help." An unfamiliar voice said.
One of the Executioner's arms was chopped off, causing the axe to fall to the ground. A young man walked in front of the Abyss, he was in his twenties, he had blonde hair, and silver armor, a green cape, and he was carrying a sword.
"My name is Dario." The man said to the group.
The Executioner left its axe on the ground and tried to punch Dario. Dario was hit, but seemed unphased. Dario jumped in the air and cut the Executioner, creating a deep gash in its stomach. The Executioner grabbed Dario, raised him into the air, then threw him to the floor and stepped on him. Dario chopped the Executioner's foot off, then stood up.
"This is getting annoying." Dario said.
Dario jumped into the air and stabbed his sword into the Executioner's head, then landed. A lightning bolt hit the sword and killed the Executioner. Dario turned to face the group, who were awestruck.
"It looked like you needed help. Anyways, my name is Dario, nice to meet all of you." Dario said.
"I'm Sora, nice to meet you." Sora said, he shook Dario's hand and smiled.
"I'm Riku." Riku said.
"And I'm Kairi." She said.
"So how did you three die?" Dario asked them.
"We didn't die. We came here to look for this creep named Omega." Riku said.
"Well, I've got nothing to do. I'll help you find this Omega guy." Dario said.
---
"So Dario, how did you die?" Sora asked.
The group of four were walking through the Underworld, looking for Omega.
"Well, I used to lead a military group called the Acacia Dragoons, we were sent to a place called the Island of the Damned to look for a cursed sword called the Masamune. My friend Karsh and I found the blade, but it possessed me, and Karsh was forced to kill me." Dario explained.
"I'm sorry to hear that." Kairi said.
"It's okay, it'd be better than turning evil and killing my friends." Dario said.
I have no idea what it's called, if anyone could tell me or give a name for it, it would be appreciated.
I couldn't resist.
