Sora looked up at the black haired warrior in shock. That was a one in a million chance he would be a partner with someone that he was trying to fight against. But here he was, face looking down on him with the purple eyes that seemed to glow…
Wait… Weren't they red before?
"Hello?" Noctis said since Sora only looked up at him instead of answering his question.
"Huh… Yeah, but how did you know my name?" Sora said, trying to keep calm. Noctis knowing his name only made it more obvious that he was working for Hades.
"The kid who saved the worlds right?" Noctis said. Believable excuse… Sora thought, since a lot of people had been saying that about him. "I think all the worlds know about you."
"I am not a kid, I am seventeen," Sora said, since he could not stand anyone calling him a kid, "And you're Noctis right?"
"Yeah, how did you know my name?" Noctis asked, mimicking Sora's question.
"Um… Phil told me about you, he said you come here to train right?" Sora asked as Noctis laughed.
"That old goat, he just can't keep his mouth shut can he?" Noctis said as he closed his eyes in thought. Sora only stared at him; he didn't seem like a person that would work for Hades, in fact, Noctis reminded Sora of Cloud and Leon in appearance, but for the short time that he has known Noctis, he could already tell he had a personality all his own.
Sora then heard the sound of Hercules's voice. "Please everyone, if you can, get to the benches so we can prepare our first match!" He said.
"Come on, we better get ready for the games." Sora said as Noctis finally opened his eyes, which seemed to change color again and where now green, and nodded. They then walked over to the benches, preparing for the battle the Coliseum would never forget.
…
After several of the battles raged, Noctis and Sora were forced to fight several powerful heartless. As they fought, two figures in the darkness of the Coliseum watched the two. "See those two? They are two of the people you need to fight." Hades said.
"Shouldn't be a problem." Seymour said. Hades then pointed his finger over to Ven and Kairi, who already made it to the semifinals, and then pointed to Hercules, Meg, Phil, and Pegasus.
"And don't forget about them," Hades continued as Seymour nodded.
"I told you, this won't be a problem," Seymour continued as be began to walk off, but the lord of the dead stopped him.
"I am shocked you agreed to me so easily you know, do you mind if I ask why?" Hades asked as Seymour stopped in his tracks.
"There are people I want to take care of, and I cannot do that if I am dead." Seymour said in an evil voice before he walked off, not saying a word.
Hades only snickered. "Man, he is just as bad as that One Winged Angel freak, but still, freaks by him are hard to come by." Hades muttered as he looked out at the fighting arena, seeing that Noctis and Sora had successfully defeated the heartless and where now putting their weapons to rest.
"I got to say, I know for sure you saved the worlds now, you fight like you have been doing it your whole life." Noctis said as he put away his gunblade.
"Thanks, you're not bad yourself." Sora said. He had to admit, Noctis definitely did not seem like a bad guy, in fact, Sora would consider him a friend if he didn't see him walk out of the Underworld Entrance.
Sora then turned around to see Kairi and Ven approaching. "Good job Sora!" Kairi said as she embraced her boyfriend, looking at Noctis while hugging him from behind.
"It looks like you are our battle for the semifinals." Ven said.
"I take it you are Sora's friends?" Noctis bugged in as Kairi stopped hugging Sora and she and Ven took a step back.
"Oh, Kairi, Ven, this is Noctis, Noctis, this is Kairi, my girlfriend, and Ven, one of my closest friends." Sora said, introducing the warrior as if he was a good friend he had known for a long time. Kairi and Ven where confused by this, but cautiously reacted.
"Um… hi." Kairi said.
"It's nice to meet you?" Ven said, making it sound like a question.
Before Noctis could say anything else, the four looked over to see Phil walking towards them with his clipboard. "So you two versus you two correct?" Phil asked as the heroes nodded. "Well get ready! Your fight is going to start in a few seconds!"
With that, Sora and Noctis walked over to one side of the arena as Kairi and Ven walked over to the other side. "Your friends sure are weird…" Noctis said, "Are they normally like that?"
Sora then looked into his eyes, seeing they changed colors once again to a shade of light blue. "Um… yeah, nearly all my friends are like that." Sora said as Noctis looked at him like he was weird, but they didn't have time for that since the fight was about to begin.
"Alright the semifinals match! Introducing the team of Sora and Noctis versus the team of Ventus and Kairi!" Hercules announced.
"Get prepared for a great battle boys!" Meg interrupted.
Sora then looked across the arena, seeing his girlfriend and his friend ready to fight. He then looked at Noctis, whose eyes changed color again to red, like the first time he saw him in the Underworld Entrance. This scared him, mostly because that could mean if Hades was in a plan with him, it could mean Noctis was ready to seal the deal.
And the bad thing was his girlfriend was one of the people he was fighting.
"Noctis, you handle Ven, I got Kairi." Sora said. He hated throwing Ven under the bus like that, but he knew Ven could hold up against Noctis longer then Kairi could. Sora also know that Ven would understand since he and Kairi really had something strong.
"But she is your girlfriend… why would you want to hurt her?" Noctis said.
"I'll go easy on her, just please listen to me!" Sora said as Noctis nodded and the bell rang, signaling the beginning of the battle. (Go For It! – Kingdom Hearts)
Noctis only rolled his eyes at Sora and he went to go fight his girlfriend (which still made no sense to him) but he did as Sora asked and ran over to Ven, bringing his gunblade out in the process. Ven saw this as soon as the bell rang and immediately brought out his keyblade to face the warrior. The twos weapons collided and was so powerful that it created sparks between them. Ventus then looked into Noctis' eyes, seeing them flash between red and a shade of black, which distracted him. This distraction gave Noctis enough time to push Ven back and then quickly use his gunblade to fire bullets at the spiky blond. Thankfully however, Ventus was able to bring his keyblade up to block the bullets.
As soon as the bullets came, Ven tried to counter some of them by blasting fire at Noctis, which were mostly blocked but one of the fire attacks went and hit Noctis head on. This did not hurt Noctis badly, but he did get caught off guard which gave Ven some time to run towards him. Ven successfully hit him, but it had a little too much power in it since it pushed Noctis away from him. Noctis then wiped his lip, since Ven's attack sent a surge through the warrior traveling all the way to his head. Noctis then looked at his gunblade and with another change of eye color (now it was a shade of grey) and the gunblade vanished. Ven was confused by this, but he then fired a blast of light at him. But what happened next shocked Ven; his blast of light didn't hit Noctis, and only seemed to hit the now invisible gunblade in front of him.
Ventus could not believe Noctis' power as he then ran towards him, his floating invisible weapon still not there. Ven brought his keyblade up, in hoping to block the invisible gunblade but it didn't hit the keyblade and instead made contact with Ven's back. Ven knew that Noctis had to be using some form of telekinesis with his gunblade, since he made it invisible and was controlling it with his mind. The invisible gunblade then hit him several more times before he fell to the ground on one knee, not being able to take the apin any longer, ending the battle.
…
Sora did not run at Kairi, and only looked at her with a grin that she laughed at. Sora then finally ran at her, locking keyblades with the red headed princess. Kairi was smart and continued to try and slash at Sora's legs so she could knock him on the ground, but Sora knew what she was trying to do. "You aren't going to get away with that!" Sora said playfully. He then took his keyblade and fired a blast of blizzard at the ground and he jumped away. Kairi did not know what he did at first, but then she looked down to see the freeze froze around her ankles, making her unable to move.
Sora only snickered at this and then ran towards his girlfriend, jumping in the air, trying to get an aerial combo on her, but Kairi was not going to let that happen. She brought her keyblade up just in time to block the blow, and she then fired a blast of fire at the ice around her so she could finally walk around. Sora only watched her out of entertainment as she ran towards him again. They once again locked keyblades, but this time however, Kairi was able to swing her foot at Sora's ankles, making him fall to the ground. Kairi then pointed her keyblade at him. "I'm sorry, I am not going to get away with what?" Kairi said.
Sora only snickered. "This!" Sora then brought his keyblade up and fired a blast of light at Kairi, who easily blocked it even though she was shortly blinded. But when Kairi opened her eyes again, Sora was not on the ground. She then moved her eyes ever so slightly to see the spiky haired Keyblade Master pointing Kingdom key right at her head, and the only thing she could do was put her hands up. "I love you." Sora said, which was basically an 'I'm sorry' from him, and made Kairi laugh. (End Go For It!)
…
As soon as the bell rang, it was clear on who won this battle: Sora and Noctis. But before the Hercules or Phil could announced that, everyone looked up to see red and black clouds appear above them. The three keyblade masters and Noctis then turned around to see a huge puff of black and red smoke, and as soon as it vanished, a man with blue hair wearing robes was visible. At first, he only stood there, but then his eyes shot open, and a staff appeared in his hands and a wall of fire appeared behind him. From this wall of fire, Hades appeared. "Congratulations Sora and Noctis! Your prize for making it to the finals is DEATH!" Hades announced as he turned red.
"Hades! Get out of here and stop messing with the games!" Noctis said, preparing his gunblade.
"Wait, you aren't working for him?!" Ven asked loudly.
"What? No! I mean, he offered it to me, but I told him no since I refuse to make a deal with the Joker of the Death." Noctis said.
"That's LORD of the Dead to you!" Hades said, "And I got news for you buddy, since you decided not to join me, Seymour here is going to take you down, along with these so called Keyblade Masters and Hercules!"
"You're sick!" Kairi exclaimed.
"Well gezz, I haven't heard that one before. Now if you excuse me, I am going to watch this battle in comfort!" Hades said as he vanished and reappeared in the benches with Pain and Panic fanning him and holding his drink for him.
Sora, Kairi, Ven and Noctis then stood in their battle stances. "We are sorry for not trusting you Noctis." Sora said.
"It's cool; I beat if I saw you exit the Underworld Entrance I would think you were working for him too. Let's just defeat this guy so we actually start trusting each other!" Noctis exclaimed as his eyes changed to the color of blood red.
"Right!" The Keyblade Masters exclaimed as the four of them charged at Seymour. But little did they know this man was far more connected to the keyblade masters than anyone expected.
