Okay, this is a mini chapter, maybe a filler chapter. It's just gonna have Sora fighting in the Phil Cup. Yeah…Sora still needs to get some aggression out of his system. I still don't own any of this. On a side note, I've started my second semester of college. It looks like I'll have more work to do, which means slower updates. I will try to work on the chapters when I can, but I will have other things to work on.

"Hey guys! We got a message!" said Chip.
"There's a tournament at the Coliseum," said Dale. "There's supposed to be a great prize for the winner."
"Okay, let's go see what that prize is," said Sora.
"We can't," said Donald. "We gotta-"
"We're entering the tournament!" Donald took a second to look at Sora. Currently, Sora looked like he wanted to hurt something. Badly. Maybe he was still angry. If that was the case, it would probably be better to let Sora kill Heartless in a fight where their lives were not on the line.
"Fine. We'll go." Sora grinned in a slightly psychotic manner.
"Since you've been there before, you can use that warp gummi to get there immediately," said Chip.
"Just give us a second," said Dale. A few moments later, there was a zapping type noise, and the gummi ship was suddenly in front of Olympus Coliseum.
"Huh. Convenient," said Sora.
"Let's just get this over with," said Donald.
So, they disembarked and went to the lobby of the Coliseum. Phil was waiting there.
"I was wondering if you guys would show up. You entering the games?" Sora grinned.
"Yep."
"Right." Phil scribbled something down…on what appeared to be a stone tablet. Paper must not be around yet on this world. Phil took a look at his stone pad. "Okay, you guys are actually the only people that actually entered. All the other contests are the weird things with the yellow eyes."
"Good. That means I don't have to avoid killing someone." Phil raised an eyebrow at Sora's remark, but decided to ignore it.
"Just go out to the arena for the first match." The small group went to the arena and waited for the first round of opponents to appear. They didn't have to wait long.
The first opponents were 4 Power Wilds and 3 Soldiers. Sora ran up to a Power Wild and cut it in two. Donald used a Thunder to hit all the Heartless while Goofy rammed into a Soldier and killed it. One of the Soldiers tried to tackle Sora, but he sidestepped and beheaded it. Goofy blocked some wild swipes from a Power Wild, before spinning around and hitting it with his shield. Since his new shield had pointy edges, this caused the Power Wild to receive several gouges on its body, and it dispersed. The last Soldier tried going for Donald, but the magician hit it with a Fire spell before it could reach him. One of the remaining Power Wilds decided to try to attack Donald as well, but it was intercepted by Sora who cut it in two horizontally. The last Power Wild was hit by a Blizzard from Donald before it could do anything.
The second round had 3 Power Wilds, 2 Red Nocturnes, 5 Yellow Operas, and 10 Green Requiems. Sora grinned when he saw this as it gave him an excuse to do something. "You don't get any mercy." With that, Sora transformed into his Valor drive. He then moved in and started taking out the spell-casting Heartless faster than his two allies could follow. Then he decapitated the three Power Wilds before they could try to attack him. As soon as the last Heartless fell, Sora transformed back to normal with a satisfied look on his face. "Ah! I needed that!" The two anthros looked at each other. This could not be a good sign.
The third round made them blink a few times. Their opponents were 4 Power Wilds…and a pair of feet that looked suspiciously like Guard Armor's (Sora had actually checked its name, he just never bothered to refer to it as such.) feet.
"Why is there just a pair of feet?" asked Sora. "And there better not be a whole one that tries a handstand!"
The Power Wilds ran forward, but three were sliced apart by Sora. The last one was set on Fire by Donald. Then Sora ran towards the feet. The feet started kicked at him, but he cart wheeled out of the way, and Goofy hit one of the feet off to the side with a quick spin and bash from his shield. Donald cast a Blizzard on this foot, freezing it in place. Sora landed a hard hit on the unfrozen foot. It tried to kick him, but Sora slid out of the way and slashed it several more times. Then Donald hit it with a Thunder and it crumpled to pieces. The other foot finally thawed out and stomped over to the group. Sora threw the Keyblade at it, Donald set it on fire, and Goofy rocketed at it, hitting it with his shield. The foot flew back, hit the invisible wall surrounding the area, and crumbled to pieces.
The fourth round was 5 Red Nocturnes and 5 Yellow Operas. Sora and Donald started casting Blizzards while Goofy stood back and watch. The Heartless didn't last long under the magical assault.
"Well, that was easy," said Sora. Donald just nodded in agreement.
The fifth round had 5 Power Wilds and a Large Body. Donald cast a Fire on the Large Body, while Sora and Goofy went for the Power Wilds. Sora plunged the Keyblade into the chest of the closest Power Wild. Goofy hit another one with his shield a couple of times before bashing it into the ground. Donald cast another Fire on the Large Body. Sora moved on to the next Power Wild and cut it in two diagonally. The last two tried to attack Goofy and Sora. Goofy dodged and threw his shield at the Power Wild. The weapon buried itself deep in the Heartless's head, causing it to dissipate. Sora blocked the attack against him and spun, cutting another Power Wild in two. It looked like the Large Body was about to try to attack them, but Donald cast another Fire before it could and killed it.
The sixth round was 4 Shadows, 3 Blue Rhapsodies, and a pair of familiar floating hands. Sora ran right up to the hands and bashed them to the ground. Donald hit a Blue Rhapsody with a Fire. Goofy started spinning around, hitting nearby Heartless with his shield as he did so. Sora spun, sliced a Shadow trying to sneak up on him in two and went back to bashing the hands. Goofy bashed a couple of Shadows that got too close to him. Donald used another Fire on a Blue Rhapsody. Sora finally finished off the hands and turned around to block a slash from the lone remaining Shadow before using a Fire on it. The Blue Rhapsody fired a Blizzard at Donald, but the magician countered it with a Fire before Goofy bashed the Heartless into the ground.
The seventh round was 2 Large Bodies and 6 Green Requiems. Sora grinned and quickly attacked and killed the Green Requiems before they could do anything. This left the two Large Bodies, which seemed to be confused by what just happened. Sora used Fire on the closer Large Body. It retaliated by sliding towards him, but Sora jumped up and out of the way while throwing the Keyblade down, impaling it right in the center of the Heartless's back. While Sora was dealing with this one, Donald hit the other one with a Blizzard. When it slid towards him, Goofy jumped in and blocked it with his shield. Then he hit it in the back of its neck…or in the general vicinity where it would have one. Donald took advantage of this to use a Fire spell, which incinerated the Heartless.
The eighth round was 4 Power Wilds, a pair of hands, and a pair of feet. Sora twitched. That meant there were enough limbs for two armors.
"How many of these are there?" asked Sora.
"There's lots of most type of Heartless," said Goofy. "I guess that's one of 'em, even if it is strong enough to be a boss."
"Less talking, more fighting," said Donald. He wanted to get this over with so they could go to the next world. "Thunder!"
And the Heartless got hit by a lot of lightning bolts. Then Sora threw the Keyblade at one of the hands, ran up while summoning it back to himself, and hit it hard enough to send it towards the other and knock them off to the side. He jumped after them, bringing the Keyblade down on them hard, causing the more damaged one to shatter. Sora snorted. "I guess these things aren't as strong when they don't have a body."
Meanwhile, Goofy was spinning around with his shield, battering the Power Wilds and the feet with his shield until he stopped. Donald used a Blizzard on one of the Power Wilds, causing it to disperse. The others got ready to jump Goofy, but were distracted by the remaining arm being sent flying into a couple of them. Then Sora jumped in and did a spinning move that took out the hand and the two Power Wilds it had hit. Goofy then rocketed into one of the feet while Donald cast Fire on the remaining Power Wild, destroying it. Sora turned to the other metal foot. It tried to kick him, but Sora blocked it and let loose a barrage of slashes before hitting it to the other foot, which Goofy had hit a couple of times. This seemed to be enough, as the two feet crumpled.
The ninth and final round had 4 Blue Rhapsodies, 4 Yellow Operas, and the armored torso of one of the armors, although this one was a more pink-red color than purple.
"Only one? I was expecting at least two," muttered Sora. Donald twitched.
"Don't jinx us!" And then the two of them started using Fire on the Heartless. This took care of the spell-casting Heartless pretty quickly while Goofy moved in to attack the armored torso. He managed to land a couple of hits before it reacted by spinning around. This knocked Goofy back a few feet. By this time, Sora and Donald had taken care of all the spell-casting Heartless. Sora quickly moved in and slashed the torso several times. Donald used a Thunder spell. The torso dropped to the ground and started go all over the place while spinning. By now, the three had gotten used to this move, and they were able to avoid it until both Sora and Donald used Blizzard to freeze it in place. Goofy then rocketed into it, making a loud 'clang' sound. Sora rushed up and started slashing it as fast as he could. Donald hit it with another Blizzard. The torso started to groan and crack. Then it shattered completely as Sora and Goofy hit it as hard they could. They immediately started cheering.
"We won!" shouted Goofy.
"For Daisy!" Sora didn't know who that was. Probably a girlfriend or something. Sora didn't say anything. He just did a couple of slashes and put the Keyblade over his shoulder.
A moment later, they were back in the lobby, which now had a shiny trophy in it with their names on it. "Okay, here's the prize," said Phil. He tossed them a scroll. Sora took a look at it.
"How to use Gravity." Donald lit up.
"I've been working on that one. It'll come in handy."
"Guess we better leave now," said Goofy.
"Yeah, we need to get to the next world and see if the King is there," said Donald, nodding. Sora gave him a look.
"And Kairi."
"Right, her too."
"Hey, Sora, isn't there anyone else you're looking for?" asked Goofy. Sora shrugged.
"They can take care of themselves. Kairi can't. That's why I'm more concerned about her."
"Can we go now?" said Donald, tapping his foot impatiently.
"Sure, nothing else for us to do here," said Sora. And then they left.
-line break-
Well, I said it would be short. It is just a filler chapter. Next chapter, they'll actually be in Agrabah. Sora got all the aggression out of his system so he'll be back to normal. Even if this is short, you're still getting an omake.
Omake: What about the Rest? Part VII
Weiss sat up and yawned. "That was a nice nap." He scratched his back and froze. "Wait. This isn't the couch." He looked at what he was lying on. It was a metal frame bed with a thin white mattress and a white blanket. And he was wearing a paper dress. This added up to one thing for Weiss. "The infirmary? !"
"Ooh, so close. It's a hospital." Weiss snapped his head towards the speaker. It was a man who looked like he needed a shave and had a cane. He also looked like he didn't care at all about anything. "Now, if you would be so kind to explain what you were doing sleeping in the street we can start figuring out what's wrong with you."
"I was sleeping in the street? But I was sleeping on the couch." Now Weiss was confused. How'd that happen? Was someone playing a prank on him? Probably not. The other Tsviets aren't that suicidal.
"You taking any drugs?" Weiss blinked.
"Huh?" The man, presumably a doctor, rolled his eyes and tapped Weiss's chest with his cane.
"I really doubt those are all natural." Weiss looked at his chest in confusion.
"I think it's natural…" Really, Weiss couldn't be completely sure. The scientists had put all sorts of stuff in him. He was pretty sure that mako was natural though, but did these people even have mako? "I have no idea what they put into me. I guess I could've been giving something that can cause that."
"And who is they?"
"The doctors at DEEPGROUND."
"What?"
"It was probably just my anemia. I sometimes sleep for a while because of it." The doctor raised an eyebrow.
"Anemia?" Weiss shrugged.
"Well, that may not be it exactly, but it's close enough." The doctor rolled his eyes.
"Yeah, if you wanna die. Are you gonna tell me anything useful or am I gonna have to treat you for every disease that has the same set of symptoms as anemia?" Weiss thought for a second. It had been seven years, but this sounded very similar to what happened to him in DEEPGROUND on a regular basis. The only difference was that this was a hospital so the stuff he'd be given was probably less dangerous.
"Go right ahead."
"Suit yourself. Better get ready for a long stay here." The doctor made to move toward the door, but paused. "And for the record, you're in the Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital. I suggest you contact any family you have."
"Can't. No phones."
"Well, that's poor judgment on your part Muscles." With that the doctor walked out. Weiss shrugged and stretched out on the bed to wait for one of his fellow Tsviets, preferably Nero, to find him and break him out. What was the worst that could happen until then?
