Part I. Preliminary Trials

When I woke up, I was no longer wearing the cowl and the wide-brimmed hat anymore. When Gregorio and Yoris came in, they were wearing their beanie hats again.

Gregorio said, "You feeling better. If you are, I guess the Refresher system is working. It unconsciously brings your body to do those everyday evening and morning to-dos such as dinner, sleep, wake-up, baths, breakfast, that sort of thing."

Yoris then said, "We better get some new duds for our next destination. And here they are."

Yoris got out 3 Greek helmets colored red, blue, and green respectively. After we put them on (mine's the red, Gregorio's the green, and Yoris' the blue), we teleported down and landed in front of what I recognized as the Olympus Coliseum. What surprised me more was that Sora's Co. were there too. As the six of us entered (Sora's Co. still had no idea of our presence.), I saw a familiar satyr on a pedestal staring at at the wall saying rules (Oddly, it was in English, though the U's looked like V's).

Without turning around he said, "Good timing. Gimme a hand, will ya?"

He then pointed to a fairly large pedestal and asked us to move that for him.

"I gotta spruce this place up for the games.", he continued.

We all then pushed it together with great difficulty (Strange that Sora's Co. did not recognize us even though we only changed our headgear.), and after it was moved, We were extremely tired. Sora and I came over to the satyr and we said, "We finally moved it, just like you asked."

The satyr was shocked and said, "'We'? You didn't ask for help, did ya?"

Then he turned around and saw us then said, "Oh. Wrong guy. What're you doing here?"

He jumped down from his pedestal and as he walked towards us, he continued, "This here's the world-famous Coliseum — heroes only. And I got my hands full preparing for the games. So run along, pip-squeaks."

He then did an akimbo position and said, "Look, it's like this. Heroes are coming all over to fight ferocious monsters right here in the Coliseum."

Donald then demanded, "You got heroes standing right here in front of you!"

Goofy then put his hands on Sora's shoulders and said, "Yup. He's a real hero chosen by the Keyblade!"

"And we're heroes too."

The satyr then said, "Hero? That runt?" Pointing at Sora. "And these cohorts of yours too?" Pointing at the three of us. He then laughed hysterically.

"What's so funny? I fought a bunch of monsters!", Sora shouted out.

"Us too.", I said.

The satyr then called back, "Hey, if you can't even move this, you can't call yourself a hero!" and he pushed the pedestal without success. "Okay, so it takes more than brawn. Well, well, let's see what you can do."

Part II. Finally Admitted

We were led to a 'training room' and the satyr told Sora and I to clear the room of 50 barrels in 1 minute. As Sora headed for one of them and started breaking them with his Keyblade, I ran to the center and started shooting the barrels which broke in 3 shots. Seeing it's taking quite long, I suddenly discovered how to do a charge shot which busted a row of barrels in one blast. The two of us finished with 3 seconds to spare, then the satyr then snapped his fingers and the room 'changed' and more barrels (60 to be exact), then he told us to finish the course in 99 seconds.

Acting fast, I saw Sora run for a barrel again, busted it, then ran for another. I then decided to try out my new shoes as I jumped high and shot some barrels in the distance which Sora had missed. I landed safely somehow, just as Merlin had said. I repeated this a few times. Seeing 10 seconds on the 'clock' and 5 barrels left, I cast Thunder on the last stack in a dark corner and it was all over.

We then returned to the satyr, who said, "You know, you ain't bad, kids." as he gave Sora a small scroll (probably the Thunder spell as I found out later as he battled).

"Looks like I'm headed for the games.", Sora said as he grinned.

As I replied, "I'm not so sure about that."

The satyr than said to me, "You got that right. You aren't headed for the games."

When Sora demanded why not, he said, "Two words; you guys ain't heroes."

Yoris then said, "Wait a sec. That's FOUR words!"

"Come on!", Sora pleaded to the satyr. But he stuck to his word and we then left the entrance with heavy hearts.

Just then, a voice from behind said, "Rather a stubborn old goat, wouldn't you say?"

As we turned around and recognized the Greek god of the Underworld, Donald asked who he was (perhaps he never learned this section of mythology).

Contrary to what he looked like, he acted cool as he said, "Whoa, hold on there, fuzz boy. Let me guess. You want to enter the games, right."

He then walked towards us and said, "Well, then, hey, get a load of this." and in his hand came out 2 cards. He gave one to Sora, and the other to me. "It's all yours. Good luck. I'm pulling for you guys." We returned to the satyr and he readily admitted us in once he saw the cards.

Part III. The Tournament

During Sora's turn in battle, Yoris then pulled out from my bag what he called a "Training Scanner" and as Sora and Co. prepared to fight their foes, which happened to be a set of Heartless, he pressed a button and, in the device's screen, pics of the foes appeared.

Gregorio said, "It's for the training program in our Gummi Ship's training room." Soon, it was our turn, and we battled the same opponents Sora and Co. fought with ease. After the fight, I saw 2 familiar faces from Final Fantasy 7 pass by; Cloud and Barret.

Soon, we then finished the preceding matches easily, and Yoris always recorded them beforehand with the "Training Scanner". Soon, before Sora's Co. can have a chance to battle us, they have to go against Cloud, and likewise, we have to deal with Barret.

At the start of our battle with Barret (we were at the arena and were informed only to stay in one half of it as the other half is where Sora and Co. go for Cloud), he started (quite unexpectedly) with two single shots from his "gatling arm" which applied the "Stop" status on Gregorio and Yoris. Then, he aimed at me and started blasting away. I blocked them of course but I was slowly being pushed by the force of the shots into the 'half barrier' (where I would be disqualified), so I moved 'against the current' towards Barret. Just when I was close enough to do a clear shot on him, he stopped his barrage of bullets (which made me tumble down since his bullets no longer counteract my push), then 'switched' his "gatling arm" into a "saw arm". Just as he was about to strike, a fireball struck him at the side, and he turned to see who shot the fireball (I did so too). It turned out to be Yoris who was out of the "Stop" status and when I looked the other way, I saw Gregorio (out of "Stop" too), rush towards Barret and strike him with his javelin (Note: Even if anyone here is hit by any 'piercing' weapon, they don't actually pierce the target; they only knock them back instead as if they were a punch). Gregorio then followed up with a spin of his weapon hitting Barret again and again. Seeing my chance, I then shot away at him and it was all over (When I looked at the other side, I saw Sora and Co. were done with Cloud as well).

Just then, a black and fierce giant three-headed dog (this, I am sure of, is Cerberus) entered the fray and just before it managed to attack anyone, Hercules (I assumed) arrived and held him off as the called to the satyr (who was at the audience seats), "Phil, get them out of here!".

Part IV. Match's End

Phil and Sora's Co. got out of the arena as our Co. (Gregorio, Yoris, and I) picked up Barret (Man, was he heavy!) and did so too. Just then, as we put down Barret, Sora's Co. ran out and we did too as Hercules ran inside carrying Cloud (In all the mayhem, we forgot about him, and even if we didn't, we were busy carrying Barret, who was heavy enough for the three of us to go for him). Phil then called out, "Guys, I got two words of advice for you: Attack!" Despite the situation, Yoris managed to shout out, "HEY PHIL! THAT'S ONE WORD. LEARN YOUR NUMBERS!!"

Just then, (I seem to have a habit of saying this) Cerberus caught him, Gregorio, Donald, and Goofy by the jaws (the center head had Sora's companions), then tossed them off to the other side of the arena and KO'd them (I saw it by the stars over their heads), leaving me and Sora to deal with the vile beast. It started by shooting meteors out of its mouths which flew to the two of us. I held up my shield to block and Sora, to my surprise, hid behind me as the meteors hit my shield (I expected him to try and deflect them). After that, as I held up my shield over my head to attempt a shot, Sora jumped on it and jumped again (probably so I wouldn't have to keep balancing him) for one of the heads, which I prevented it from biting by doing a charge blast at it then I cast Cure on myself (or at the shield, at least since that serves as the majority of my health, so to speak). Just then, Cerberus lifted its front paws (Sora desperately clinging by the ears) and just before it slammed them to the ground, I jumped up and landed on another head (to be specific, the one on Sora's right) and shot away at its head. A few minutes later, Cerberus fell to the ground defeated.

The two of us then awoke our companions (who seemed to lose their KO'd Status after the battle, and indeed, and all proceeding boss battles), and we all entered the entrance where Phil started a speech which I didn't pay attention to except for the last part, "Thus, I hereby dub thee junior heroes and confer upon thee full rights and priveleges to participate in the games. Further–"

Donald interrupted, "Hey! What do you mean 'junior heroes'?"

"You rookies still don't understand what it takes to be a true hero."

Gregorio asked, "So what does it take?"

Hercules answered, "Well, that's just something you'll have to find out for yourselves. Just the way that I did."

Sora then said, "No problem. We'll start by proving ourselves in the games."

Phil however, said, "There ain't gonna be any games for a while. Gotta clean up the mess from the last battle first."

I then said to Sora, "As if tournaments can start one after another. We'll have to return at a later time."

Part V. Conversation

And we left the Coliseum and when we were at the steps, we saw Cloud and Barret sitting down there.

"You guys okay?", Sora asked.

They said they were. After they said that they (or at least Cloud did as Barret was 'tagging along' since he doesn't know where the 'others' are or what else to do.) made a deal with Hades (the one who gave us the passes).

"So why did you go along with him anyway?", asked Sora.

"I'm looking for someone. And Hades promised to help.", replied Cloud.

"How about you?", I asked Barret.

"I wanted to make sure Cloud gets what he asked. He tried using his dark powers, but it backfired, as I had witnessed while battling you."

"I fell into darkness, and I couldn't find the light.", Cloud continued.

Sora then said that he was looking for his light too. Cloud and Barret then got up, and began to leave. As Barret passed me, he gave me a small green sphere and a munny bag saying, "Accept this as a token of my gratitude." (I did not get to see what Cloud gave to Sora since Barret blocked my view.)

Sora then said to Cloud, "How about a rematch sometime? Fair and square. No dark powers involved."

But Cloud said, "I think I'll pass." When they left, I inspected the green sphere, then it disappeared as I learned some words for the spell Esuna (as it was inscribed in the sphere). We then parted ways from Sora and Co. and returned to the Gummi Ship (and took off our Greek helmets).

–The scene between Hades and Maleficent plays though a Crescent Unit stands beside Maleficent–

We returned to Traverse Town for supplies (Potions, Ethers, that sort of thing.), then we set off again to follow Sora's Gummi Ship. As it came to another world, Yoris handed me over a gas mask(?) and Yoris put on his as Gregorio did too (the color scheme was the same as before). As I put on mine, our Gummi Ship collided with Sora's, as Gregorio was managing the Teleporter, and we were abruptly teleported down and when I woke up (since I banged my head on something), instead of seeing Gregorio and Yoris with me, it was Donald and Goofy (my 2 companions are probably with Sora) and that we were in a jungle, judging by the looks of it.
