- Olympus Coliseum -

Ashley stepped into the courtyard of and stared in splendor of the fancy statues that stood in front of what appeared to be a giant coliseum "Wow...so this is what other worlds look like!" she smiled as she looked around. "C'mon Phil how can you say that!" she heard a voice cry out as she quickly hid behind one of the large statues. Once she peeked out she saw a boy with spiky black hair talking to what looked like a short goat man "For the last time Zack you just ain't up to snuff, it takes a lot to be a hero!" the black-haired man who she quickly identified as Zack ran his hand through his hair in exasperation "But I've been at this for how long now!? What more does it take, do I have to defeat Herc or something!?" the young man cried as he threw his arms out.

The goat man named Phil shook his head as he ignored anything else Zack cried about as he walked into a room nearby, with Zack in tow. Ashley then stepped out from her hiding spot as she rubbed her head confused "What was that all about...?" she asked herself as she stepped away from the statue "He's been training to become a hero for a while now, he just can't get to Phil's standards..." she heard a female voice say as she quickly turned around to see a young woman with reddish-brown hair, and a pink dress standing there.

The woman looked at Ashley as she stood there with a hand on her hip "By the way, who are you? Are you working for Hades?" she asked, a bit of venom dripping from her words as she said the name 'Hades'. Ashley looked at the woman and shook her head "My name is Ashley, and who exactly is Hades? A bad guy?" she asked as she gave a small smile. The woman looked at her for a moment and could tell she wasn't lying so she folded her arms "Yeah, a real nasty piece of work...names Meg by the way..." she then looked at Ashley as she looked her up and down "Your definitely not from here, it's been awhile since people came here..." she shrugged as she looked at her "So what exactly are you doing here anyway?" Meg asked, moving a piece of hair from her face.

Ashley just looked around as she shrugged her shoulders slightly "I don't know, Sora told me that I had to go to different worlds to help people but...this world doesn't seem like it needs help..." she said as she looked back at Meg, who looked a little surprised "You know Sora? I haven't seen that kid in about a year, hows he doing?" she asked, now smiling at Ashley since she knew Sora. Meg soon started to walk forward, motioning for Ashley to follow. Ashley smiled back as she followed Meg "Sora is doing fine I guess, he taught me a few things..." she said as they walked into a room that held a couple of trophies, one of which held Sora's name on it.

Meg and Ashley then walked into a large coliseum where she saw the goat man named Phil, drilling Zack as he ran around destroying a ridiculous amount of pots. Meg quickly waved Phil over as he shouted to Zack "Keep it up and come talk to me when your done!" he shouted before coming over to them "Hey Meg, who's the new girl? Another aspiring hero?" he asked as he sized Ashley up. Meg then looked at Ashley, "Ashley this is Phil, he trains people to be hero's and he doesn't just take anybody..." she smirked as she looked at Phil "Well I don't know but she does know Sora so..." but she was quickly interrupted Zack quickly ran up to Phil, gasping for breath "Phil I'm *Huff* finished breaking *Puff* all the pots..." he said before taking notice to Ashley "Oh hey! I' Zack who are..." but before he could finish Phil hopped up and smacked the back of his head.

"You dolt! You interrupted a lady when she's talking!" he said as he looked back to the two ladies "Sorry about that, this idiot is Zack. Sometimes I swear his head is full of rocks!" he explained, which caused Ashley to giggle slightly as Meg just shook her head. Phil then looked at Ashley "So you know Sora eh? Then since your here that must mean he sent you for my hero training!" to which he quickly grabbed her hand and started pulling her to the center "Oh no...you see..." but Phil didn't even hear her as he started explaining his training program.

Ashley looked to Meg and Zack for help but saw that they moved to the stands where Zack was smiling giving her a thumbs up while Meg was just smirking as she waved. "Are you listening!?" Ashley's head snapped back to Phil who was glaring at her "Umm..." she tried to say something but Phil quickly cut her off "How do you expect to be a hero when you can't even listen to simple directions!?" he cried as he rubbed his temples. "Well if you'd listen..." but Phil quickly cut her off again "OK! I'll explain what you'll be doing ONE more time!" he took a deep breath to calm himself "This is a beginners training course, all you have to do is try to break as many pots as you can in the time allowed, ya got me?!" he asked as Ashley just nodded her head, not even bothering to try and say anything.

Phil nodded his head in approval as he walked over to the sidelines "I'll start that time when you break the first pot!" he shouted as Ashley just stood there. "Well, at least I'll be able to get some practice with my keyblade..." she said to herself as she summoned her Mysterious Abyss keyblade. She then charged to the first pot and smashed it with ease, then for the next two minutes she broke as many pots as she could. At first swinging the keyblade felt awkward, she tried different stances. At first she tried the stance she saw Sora use but that felt to stiff, she then tried several different stances and soon settled with a comfortable stance where she held the keyblade next to her stomach, with the blade pointed out.

Once she found her best stance she finished by destroying all the pots she could with what time she had left. Soon Phil called time and he walked up to her "Not bad I guess but you didn't even beat Sora's old score of twenty-three pots, you barely got nineteen!" Ashley frowned, she could have sworn she got more "But you are a newbie so that's to be expected so don't worry, I'll mold you into a great hero!" Ashley just stood there 'Why do I have a bad feeling about this...?' and soon that feeling was proven correct as Phil spent the next two or three hours drilling Ashley and forcing her to go to her limits.

Somewhere in the training she saw that a very muscular man had joined Meg and Zack on the sidelines. But she couldn't focus as Phil was really drilling into her and soon Ashley was using her Mysterious Abyss as a crutch to hold herself up "Alright next we're going to be..." but before Phil could finish Ashley collapsed onto the ground, her keyblade vanishing as she laid there. Everyone quickly ran over to make sure she was OK "Geez Phil, a little harsh on the new girl doncha think?" the muscular man asked as Phil shrugged "Maybe a little bit but you this training well enough, right Herc?" Hercules shrugged as Zack picked up Ashley "I'll take her to Meg's room, that alright?" he asked, looking at the red-head who rolled her eyes "I guess so, a girl doesn't need to be stuck in a sweaty guys room..." she said as she lead the way to her room.

Unbeknownst to anyone there a single eye was hovering above the coliseum watching everything that happened.

- Underworld -

"Of course! Just when I'm about to put my plan in motion ANOTHER keyblade brat comes along!" Hades groaned as he rubbed his temples in annoyance. Two little demons named Pain and Panic quickly walked forward as Pain spoke up "Don't worry boss, you saw the girl! She's a total newbie, she couldn't do anything to thwart your plans!" he said as Hades looked down at the two "Maybe so but I don't want to take any chances!" he said as he stalked off ''Continue as planned, just be more careful!" he ordered and Pain and Panic scurried off, both shouting "Yes Boss!" at the same time.

Hades looked at the Underdome "Very soon...very soon and my plans will come to fruition, and no 'Hero' or little girl can stop me!"he said to himself as he contined to stare at the underdome.

- Castle of Dreams -

Dylan looked at the bright blue sky as he looked around "Wow it's so bright out!" he said to himself as he suddenly saw a large white castle that had a town next to it not to far in the distance "Whoa..." he said to himself as he started to walk towards the town.
