A/N: EEP! Guess what my lovely readers, reviewers, and fellow Kingdom Hearts fans? Twilight is getting a PSP for Christmas and Birth By Sleep! AHH, So excited about both! So…Twilight has a question for you all: Should Twilight make a little Christmas Special for this story? Tell Twilight what you think! And now, Twilight thinks she should stop talking about herself in third person! So, I have a small little problem! Because I'm too lazy to go through every world that Sora and Co goes to during Kingdom Hearts 2, I'm thinking that I should either A) Skip ahead a couple of months and just pick some random world for them to be visiting. B) I should ask for help with writing the next few chapters, or C) I can just spend many hours and months watching walkthroughs? For now, I'm going with walkthroughs! Haha, sorry if I made Hope a little bitchy last chapter! Wasn't intentional, I swear!

Hope: I feel as if I am the most hated person now….T-T *Sobs*

Oh, my….Um….*looks around for the first person to find that can give disclaimer* Uh….DISCLAIMER! DISCLAIMER! SOMEONE! CUE THE KID!

*Ienzo walks on stage* Ienzo: Ahem! Miss Twilight girl456 doesn't own any of us Square Enix characters that Mr. Nomura created. What she does own is this interesting story and Hope.

"So, where are we going?"

Sora looked over at me and smiled. "Well, we're heading towards the Coliseum."

"Really? How long will it take us to get there?"

"Well, since we have to open a route, it'll take about 10-15 minutes, but since the Gummi Ship is extra fast, we can make it in 5."

"And you're old enough to be driving this thing?" I asked, an eyebrow raised. "You're not gonna be reckless or anything and crash us?" What? I can't help it if I'm cautious about the safety of everyone on this ship!

"Don't jinx it! I think I'd rather avoid ending up in the same situation like the last time you crash-" Donald began, only to have Sora put a hand over his beak.

"Ehehe, don't listen to him! He's just still upset about the last time I flew the ship. But, seriously, we'll be fine! I'm an expert when it comes to flying the Gummi Ship!" Sora assured me, a cheesy grin on his face, causing me to laugh slightly, before ruffling his spikes.

"Ok, Sora. I trust you and your expert flying skills."

3 minutes later~

"YOU DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT THOSE THINGS BEING IN THE WAY!"

"Well, you didn't ask about there being any obstacles to get through."Sora said calmly, flying the Gummi Ship out of the way of oncoming Enemy Ships and shooting at them. "And you said you trusted me, didn't you?"

Hope nodded her head, squeaking when they almost ran into another enemy ship, covering her eyes with her hands. "I did, but I said I trusted your flying skills not to crash the ship! I never said I trusted you to keep us safe from enemy ships!"

"Well, I promise that we won't die, ok? And whenever we get the time, I'll teach you how to fly the ship!" Sora exclaimed happily, shooting down a couple of more enemy ships.

"OK, JUST PLEASE PAY ATTENTION TO THE ROAD!"

0o0o0o0o0

And so, the rest of the flight was uneventful. Sora didn't crash the ship, and Hope didn't have a heart attack, thankfully. Now that she had experienced what it was like to fly in a Gummi Ship, she would know what to expect the next flight. But even though she knew what to expect, that still didn't get rid of the joy she felt to be back on the ground.

But the joy and celebration was cut short when she noticed where they were.

Hope frowned as she surveyed the area, the entire place dark and dreary, and well…A dump, and not the Coliseum. Sora, Donald, and Goofy all glanced around in confusion.

"Huh?" Sora mumbled, his confusion only growing by the minute with the more he saw.

"Are ya sure this is the coliseum?" Goofy asked.

Donald moved forward, pointing towards the front. "It's that way!" He said, walking ahead, the others running after him.

"Oh…Guess we were a little off." Sora said, acting as if the whole situation had been nothing.

"AHHHH!" A scream stopped the four in their tracks, causing them all to turn around to see a woman being chased by several Rabid Dogs. The woman tripped and fell to the ground, trying to get up, but ultimately failing.

"Heartless!" Sora and Hope both exclaimed, Donald letting out a squawk as they all ran over to the woman, preparing to get rid of the Heartless, but before they could, the Rabid Dogs ran back to where they had came from, leaving the woman behind.

The woman got up from her place on the ground, patting her head and shaking it a bit, noticing Sora, Hope, Donald, and Goofy surrounding her, Hope holding out a hand to help her up. "Thanks, but…I'm fine." She said, ignoring the hand offered to help her. When she looked completely at the group, and noticed Hope's hand still extended out to her, she frowned slightly, standing up all the way, dusting her light purple dress off. Hope retracted her hand back to her side, while Sora moved to stand directly next to her. The woman crossed her arms across her chest, staring over at the two. "And you're supposed to be?"

"I'm Sora," Sora introduced, putting a hand to his chest, before turning to look at the others. "This is Hope, and he's Donald, and that's Goofy. We came to see how Hercules is doing."

The woman glanced at each one of them, a disbelieving look on her face. "You know Wonderboy?"

Donald, being as he has a somewhat big ego, put his hands to his hips and puffed out his chest a bit. "Yeah, 'cause we're heroes, too!"

Goofy leaned down to the ducks level, letting out a chuckle. "Ahyuck! Ya mean junior heroes, Donald." Goofy reminded, causing Donald's prided face to turn into a frown.

The woman laughed slightly. "Looks like we have a friend in common. Name's Megara. My friends call me Meg."

"So, how's Herc?" Sora asked.

"Wonderboy? Well, he's duking it out at the Coliseum every day," Meg said, a small frown finding its way onto her face, "You know, 'a hero's work is never done' and all that. He's ready to drop, but he keeps on fighting. Even Wonderboy has his limits, though. Those opponents are bad news-special deliveries from Hade's himself…"

"Hades!" Donald exclaimed in shock.

"Hades?" Hope mumbled in confusion, reminding herself to ask Sora what this worlds story was later.

Meg nodded. "Right. Lord of the Underworld. I was on my way to see him. Maybe I can get Hades to give Wonderboy a breather. If anything happened to that kid…" Meg trailed off, suggesting to the group that she and Hercules were just more than 'friends'.

"Gawrsh…Sounds like you're more than just friends." Goofy said, causing Meg to look up at him in surprise, her cheeks turning a bit pink.

"Oh…uh, I mean…"

"We'll go have a little talk with Hades." Sora said, ignoring the awkwardness. "I'd hate for anything bad to happen to you on your way to see him."

"You really want to do that? Well, it looks like you know what you're doing. I guess I'll take you up on that offer." Meg said, sending them all a small smile before her face grew all serious. "But…let's keep this whole chat-with-Hades thing our little secret, okay?"

"Our lips are sealed!" Sora exclaimed, giving her a thumbs up. "C'mon, guys! Let's go!"

They all left, leaving Meg behind, the door closing right behind them. Hope shivered slightly as the room gave off an ominous feeling. "Why does this place have to be so…creepy?"

Sora shrugged. "Well, it's called the Underworld. What else could be as creepy as that?"

Hope had to agree with him on that. She opened her mouth again to ask him something else, when a large boulder from the ceiling fell, crashing to the ground, and several Heartless appeared. Hope let out a sigh as Sora, Donald, and Goofy began the assault on them. "When will there ever be a world that doesn't have any Heartless on it?"

As soon as the small amount had been ridded of, the group walked into a tunnel, exiting out of it several minutes later, just in time to see a figure in a black coat run by, and around the corner.

"The Organization!" Donald squawked.

"Yeah." Sora said.

Hope frowned. If there were members here, then it meant that she was vulnerable to being captured. But…The person that had just run by….Hope knew that it wasn't one of the higher ups. It was someone that was lower ranking, otherwise, the person would've stopped to fight. Who was the one member who always ran away when the fight was too big…?

"Hope!"

Hope looked up, shaking herself from her thoughts to see Sora and the gang staring at her. "Huh?"

"You coming?"

"Oh, yeah, sure!" She said, catching up with them and continuing down the tunnel.

Finally, we reached a large and open area, an opening in the all leading to the pathway that led to Hades quarters. We were prepared to head towards the opening, when out of nowhere, the same Organization Member we had spotted before came running towards us, paying us no attention and running right past us.

"Run! Run away!" He exclaimed, and I finally realized who it was.

Only Demyx would run away from big situations that involved work.

We all watched as Demyx ran inside a corridor of darkness, and disappeared, leaving us all staring in confusion.

"Uh…" I mumbled.

"Okay…?" Sora said, confusion clear in his voice. "That wasn't weird at all."

"I'll say…But instead of just standing here and gaping, we need to go talk with Hades." I said, snapping everyone out of their confusion, and leading the way inside to the pathway.

Meanwhile~

"Where do they dig these freaks up? Geez, Louise." Hades mumbled in aggravation.

"Oh, they're nuttin' but trouble, the whole lot of 'em." Pete explained, before asking the big question. "So, uh…what're you gonna do about Hercules? He's made mince meat outta every fighter you sent at him. Hehe, pretty soon, the Underworld's gonna be standing room only. Say, why don't you just pick someone already dead and save him the trouble?"

Hades sat up quickly in his chair, slamming his fists down on the arms, causing Pete to cower and cover his head with his arms, while Pain and Panic ran and hid behind him, peeking out from behind Pete slightly.

"Dead…Dead is good! And I know just the warrior." Hades stated, a small smirk on his face.

He knew just the warrior, indeed.

A/N: So, was it crappy? Because it felt like it was in my view! Well, net chapter is already in progress, so expect to see it soon! Hope you enjoyed! LATER TATERS!
