Last Time:

"C'mon, Riku!" Sora yelled running out of the arena. "We gotta go to the Underworld!" Riku got up and ran after his comrades, vowing to himself to make Hades pay.

Now:

Underworld

Hades shimmered into the underdrome with the girls being dragged behind him. They (the girls) had landed unceremoniously on the floor, with Hades looming threateningly above them.

"Okay, c'mon, get up." He tugged on their chains, pulling them up to a standing position. They resisted against the pull, which irritated him. "Hey! Knock it off!"

Kagome growled at him and, when Hades' back was turned, kicked his ass. He turned around; narrowing his eyes at both of them, but the girls just looked away innocently.

"Alright, who kicked me?" He asked shifting his eyes at one and then the other. His only response, a glare from either girl. He sighed. "Fine," He snapped his fingers and their chains disappeared. They went to attack Hades but he stopped them. "No, no, no! Bad hostages! You do not attack me!" He shouted. "Besides, I wouldn't want to do that if I were you!" They stayed still.

"And why, shouldn't we be attacking you?" Kairi sneered, still in fighting stance. Hades smirked.

"Because, if you do, I won't hesitate to kill your little friends who, without a doubt, will be coming to 'save you' " Hades said using air quotes on the phrase save you. The girls scowled at him, but relaxed for the most part. "That's good little hostages. Now, here's what's gonna happen; you two are going to fight in the tournament I am promoting as my minions to help promote the underdrome, got it?" The two 'minions' rolled their eyes but nodded nonetheless. Hades smirked at them. "Perfect…"

With the Guys

They walked into the underworld and then went searching for Hades. Sora, spotted Pain and Panic, and walked over to them, the other boys following behind him.

"Pain, Panic, take us to where Hades is!" Sora growled. The two imps just whistled innocently. All at once, they found five weapons at their necks. "Take us there, NOW!" Pain and Panic nodded frantically, and scurried over to a large blue door.

"Straight through those doors!" Panic said. The boys looked at each other skeptically and then returned to glaring at the imps. "What?"

"I don't remember the underdrome being through those doors," Goofy commented, scratching the side of his head in confusion.

"He uh….had it moved! Yeah, that's it! He had it moved!" Pain said, crossing his fingers behind his back.

The boys contemplated this, shrugged at one another, and the walked through the open blue doors. Once they were inside, the double doors slammed shut and the distinctive sound of a lock could be heard.

Riku tried to pull the doors open but they wouldn't budge. He turned back to his group, and shook his head in dismay. They all sighed and continued down the tunnel slowly.

Back to the Girls

Hades had taken Kagome and Kairi down to some sort of holding cell below the arena so they could "relax until it was show time". Right now, Kagome was meditating on the cement bench in there while Kairi was leaning against the wall, her arms crossed over her chest.

"So, what are we gonna do?" Kairi asked looking over at Kagome. Kagome opened one eye and put one finger to her lips, smiling.

"I'm trying to contact the boys." Kagome whispered. Kairi gave her a small smile and then turned to stare at the wall opposite the one she was leaning on, while Kagome returned to her meditation.

Kagome slowly breathed in and out and closed her eyes. She cleared her mind and focused on pinpointing the location of the boys.

Back to the boys (I'm starting to get dizzy over here!)

They had been walking for 15 minutes and have yet to see any arena or heartless for that matter. Right now, they were sitting on the ground or some rocks, trying to think of a game plan. They were so deep in thought that they didn't notice the Kagome projection until she said something.

"Hey guys!" All the boys, including Riku and Leon, jumped in surprised, staring at her with wide eyes. The projection looked around. "Where the hell are you guys, anyways?"

"In a tunnel, trying to get to the underdrome. Where are you guys?" Riku asked.

"In a cell, below the underdrome." Kagome looked around and then looked back at the boys. "I'm pretty sure you guys aren't going in the right direction, though."

"I knew it!" Donald squawked.

"You guys have to hurry; Hades is using us to kill in his tournament!" Kagome cried. Then she gasped. "I have to go, please, hurry!" And with that, the projection disappeared.

All the guys looked at each other. Riku took charge and started running up back towards the doors, the others not too far behind him. "Let's go!"
