Hades stomped around his lair angrily, his hair flaming red and he was about ready to beat to living crap out of Pain or Panic. "There is no way someone ever says no to me!" Hades exclaimed.

"Well sorry to say it boss but that guy just did." Pain said, which made Hades really upset. So upset that he turned around and picked Pain up by his antenna.

"He can't do that! I AM THE LORD OF THE DEAD!" Hades said as he then threw Pain across the room, making him hit the wall and flew, landing on top of Panic.

Hades then took a deep breath, trying to calm his self down, which he eventually did. "So that oh so Dark One said that Noctis would for sure help me get rid of that goodie goodie Hercules and those keyblade brats, but it looks like he was wrong once again! No surprise there." Hades said.

"Well if you knew he was going to be wrong why did you listen to him?" Panic asked as Pain got off of him. He regretted his words immediately as soon as he saw Hades' face, which was full of anger. He did not feel like being thrown like Pain just was.

Hades controlled his anger however and calmed himself before he turned red again. 'It's alright, no big deal! I got other people that could take down Hercules, the keybladers and Noctis, since he said he would defeat them for me!" Hades said.

So with that Hades walked over to the green portal, or dungeon, in the room and looked down in it. He then formed two red fires in the palm of his hands and fired them down in the hole, creating a small explosion that let out black smoke with a silhouette inside. This silhouette then stood on the ground once the smoke vanished and Hades snickered at him evilly.

He had light blue hair with two long locks coming out of the side with veins appearing strongly on his head. He had on long blue robes with red lining and a green sash, which let some of his chest show. In his hands was a weapon unlike any other, being a long staff with a strange symbol on the top.

"So let's cut to the chase, there is a guy names Hercules up in the Coliseum and he should be accompanied by some brats with huge keys as weapons and another guy names Noctis. Now I will let you live again and be as free as a bird, but you must kill them for me, deal?" Hades said.

The blue haired man only snickered as he opened his eyes fully, revealing they were the same color as his hair. "It would be my honor." He said in an evil tone.

Sora, Kairi and Ven had finally stepped out into the sunlight, looking around at the Coliseum they hadn't been to in a year. Sora's first reaction was to look around for the guy they saw exist the Underworld entrance, but he was nowhere to be seen.

"Do you think that guy already signed up for the games?" Ventus asked as Sora and Kairi shrugged, both of their eyes locked on the Coliseum.

"I guess there is only one way to find out." Kairi said as the others nodded and they all ran towards the huge fighting arena. They then all entered to see the goat man doing what he normally did; writing on the chalk board, organizing the people competing for the games.

"Oh good you finally—" Phil was cut off.

"It's not Herc Phil so why don't you turn around and just see for yourself who it is." Sora said.

"Hey, no one talks to me like—" Phil said but then stopped himself when he saw who it was behind him. "Well look who showed up! About time you showed up; is it like a ritual of yours to show some years after I've last seen you?"

"Sorry Phil, we have just been busy," Kairi said.

Phil only shook his head. "Ah, it's alright this time, since with what happened to your world." Phil said, referring to Sora and Kairi. But then he turned to Ven. "But you on the other hand, oh you got another thing coming!"

"Wait, how do you know about what happened to our world?" Kairi asked, laughing a little when he said that due to what Phil said to Ven just a moment ago.

"Kid, when are you going to learn that when you save the worlds from the biggest battle in history that everyone knows what's happened to you?" Phil explained.

Sora then realized something important to him. "Hey, since we did save the worlds does that mean we can finally be promoted to true heroes?" Sora asked excited.

"Woah, woah, kid, you might be heroes in general, but you ain't a hero in this here Coliseum yet!" Phil said which made Sora lower his head in defeat; since he knew at that moment that there was nothing that could impress this goat.

"So anyway, the reason we are here is because a guy came in this direction and we wanted to know if he signed up for the games." Ven said. Even though there true reason for being here was to protect the world from darkness, he figured that the guy was working for the darkness, so it was kind of saying the same thing.

"What's he look like?" Phil asked.

"Black hair, weird eyes, black clothing?" Kairi said.

"Oh you mean Noctis, yeah he signed up not to long ago, why?" Phil said.

"We saw him exit the Underworld, so we figured he was bad news." Sora said.

Phil only laughed at this, which confused the keyblade wielders. "Noctis? Don't make me laugh! If he could, he wouldn't hurt anyone intentionally." Phil said.

"How do you know him?" Sora asked.

"He has stopped by once before trying to train to become a hero, and he could barely even destroy the targets. He said the only reason why he came back today was to show me how much he improved." Phil said.

This caused the keyblade bearers to shrug. "I don't know Phil, if you only met him once, how would you know he is a good guy?" Ven asked.

"Cause I know." Phil said.

This caused the keyblade bearers to shrug once again. "I don't know, maybe we should sign up for the games just to make sure he doesn't try anything." Kairi suggested.

"How are the games set up today Phil?" Sora asked.

"Glad you asked kid," Phil said, "It's really simple actually, you just all get assigned a random partner to work with and you try to make it to the final match, who is a good friend of mine."

"Well, I'll do it if you two do," Ven said.

Sora then looked to Kairi, who nodded. "Sign us up Phil!" Sora said.

"Awesome, just go wait in the battle arena until then, it should start any minute now." Phil said as the group nodded before running into the arena. After that, Phil went back to writing the participants on the board until he heard the sound of footsteps behind him.

"Oh Laguna! You finally showed up!" Phil said, not actually seeing Laguna behind him, but just assumed it was him. But as soon as Phil turned around, he saw it wasn't Laguna, but instead a blue haired man wearing long robes. Little did Phil know this was the man Hades brought back from the dead.

"Laguna couldn't be here today, so he sent me instead." The man said.

"You— you know Laguna?" Phil asked as the man nodded. Phil then brought out his clipboard. "Okay then, can you tell me what your name is then so I can put you down as the final match?"

The man only snickered at this since he knew he was in. "My name is… Seymour."

A few minutes later, Sora, Ven and Kairi all stood in the huge group of people, waiting for the groups to be decided when they heard a familiar voice yell upon the group.

"Alright! All those competing in the games come here to get your numbers!" Hercules' voice said. Next to him was Pegasus and Meg, who was behind the huge barrel that contained the numbers to choose from.

As soon as they heard the voice, Sora, Ven and Kairi ran up to the huge barrel, making it first in line to see their friends. "Hey what's up guys?" Herc said.

"We heard from Phil you were competing today," Meg said.

"Nothing much, just got sent on another mission to help the worlds from the darkness, with this world being the first to check up on." Sora said.

"Glad to see you care about this world's safety." Herc said, "Now go on, pick a slip to get you're partners, we can talk afterwards."

Sora then looked behind him, seeing the huge line of people so he knew why Hercules said that. He then dug his hand into the barrel and pulled out a slip of paper, with Ven and Kairi right behind him, before they stepped to the side.

"What number did you guys get?" Ven asked.

"Eleven, what about you?" Kairi asked.

"No way! That's my number!" Ven said.

"So we are in the same team then? Cool, at least I don't have to be with some stranger I don't know." Kairi said, "What about you Sora?"

"I got twenty-one," he said, "I guess I better go find out who my partner is."

"Alright, we will see you later!" Kairi said as Sora nodded and he went to go look for his partner. He searched for what seemed like forever, causing Sora to ask countless people if they had the same number with the same response every time, no.

After a little bit longer, Sora felt someone tap on his shoulder. "Excuse me, do you have number twenty-one?" The voice asked.

Sora then took a sigh of relief. "Yeah, I am glad I finally found—" Sora then cut himself off once he saw who the person was.

"I'm Noctis, you're Sora right?"


So I can already tell someone is going to be happy Seymour made his appearance...

So I would have maybe made this chapter a little longer, but Pit Boss (AKA my favorite show EVER) is coming back on tonight after almost a year, and I need to prepare myself for it. I can just tell I am going to fangirl tonight...

So anyway, please R&R and look out for the next chapter!
