(Olympus Coliseum: Arena)
(Battle Theme: Road to a Hero)
(Ready…GO!)
Sora goes first and starts attacking some urns with Kingdom Key while under a time limit and Sora attacks every urn to release some orbs and Sora starts collecting the orbs and later on time is reaching to an end and Sora destroys every urn while getting more orbs until time is up.
"How was THAT?" Sora asked.
"Not bad. You're better than before." Phil said.
(Ready…GO!)
It's now Ky's turn and he starts attacking urns with Dawn of Hope while under the same time limit and Ky attacks every urn while collecting orbs and later on the time is reaching its end and Ky continues to destroy urns while collecting orbs until later on time is up.
"Well, how'd you like that?" Ky asked.
"You ain't half bad, kid, for a newcomer." Phil said.
(Ready…GO!)
It's now Noel's turn and she starts attacking the urns with Radiant Salvation while also under the time limit and Noel attacks the urns while collecting the released orbs and later on the time is almost at an end and Noel continues to destroy the urns and collect orbs until time is now over.
"I did my best." Noel said.
"Not bad, newbie. Keep at it, and you'll be better in no time." Phil said.
(Ready…GO!)
Ky, Noel, and Sora begin destroying more urns while collecting released orbs while still under the time limit and the three continue to destroy more urns and collect more urns and time is almost at an end but the three keep destroying urns until later on time runs out and the three collect enough orbs.
After training the group see Hercules coming to the arena and so the group come to him.
"Listen, Champ, I gotta take off for a bit." Phil said.
"Where to?" Sora asked.
"None of your beeswax." Phil answered as he leaves.
"Sorry, guys. The Olympus Stone was stolen." Hercules said.
"What?!" Donald asked shocked.
"By who?" Tails asked.
"We don't know who did it yet. All we're sure of is that it was a guy in a crimson and black star hooded cloak, and he had accomplices. A bunch of creatures that are dark grey." Hercules answered.
"The Brotherhood!" Elena said and everyone nods.
"Someone you know?" Hercules asked.
"You could say that." Ky said.
"Um, if we find the Olympus Stone, do you mind if we borrow it for a while?" Noel asked.
"Go ahead and use it if you get it back." Hercules said.
"Thanks." Sora said.
"By the way, have you guys seen Meg around?" Hercules asked.
"Not the last time we saw her in the lobby with you." Bentley said.
"Sorry." Max said.
"Okay." Hercules said as he hangs his head down slightly.
"What's wrong, Your Heroness? Feeling under the weather?" A voice asked and Hercules turns to see Hades and Hercules prepares to fight. "You know, I thought staying in perfect shape was part of the hero job description. You know what I'm saying?" Hades said.
"Oh, right! Hades, we need to talk!" Sora said.
"Buzz off, kid." Hades said as he flicks Sora back.
"Sora!" Noel said.
"As I was saying, I came to share a bit of mildly interesting news: Seems your sweet little Nutmeg…" Hades stops talking as he disappears before Hercules could deliver a punch and Hades reappears. "…Went and got herself lost in the Underworld." Hades finished.
"You kidnapped her!" Hercules said.
"Well, maybe, but why get caught up in the details?" Hades said.
Hercules then whistles and just then a white winged horse with a blue mane and blue tail comes flying through the sky and then lands in the arena and Hercules starts to mount on the winged horse.
"Uh-uh-uh-uh. You can't leave now, okay? You've got a very important match today, against, um…the bloodthirsty Hydra! That is, if you don't stick around, who knows what kind of 'accidents' might happen." Hades said.
"Accidents my butt!" Ky yelled.
"Yeah, and we know it's the accidents YOU cause!" Sora said.
"Like I said, details. Who needs 'em." Hades said.
"You're just a coward!" Hercules said.
"Hey, we all can't be heroes." Hades said as he disappears.
"What an asshole." Ken said.
"Can I count on you guys to handle this?" Hercules asked.
"You bet! We're heroes!" Donald said.
"Quit that!" Tails said.
"I thought you were a JUNIOR hero, Donald!" Max said making Donald glare at him.
"That's what I heard from Goofy." Zuko said making Donald growl.
"You handle the Hydra, and we'll handle the rest!" Sora said.
"Don't worry. Meg will be okay when we save her." Ky said.
"Thanks. I'm counting on you." Hercules said and the group nod. "Pegasus, find Meg." Hercules said and the winged horse named Pegasus nods and flies through the sky while leaving the group and Hercules face palms.
"Guess we're going on foot." T.J. said.
"We're used to that anyway." Sly said.
The group leave the arena.
(Olympus Coliseum: Coliseum Foyer)
"Hades just said that Meg is somewhere in the Underworld." Blaze said.
"That means we have to go back…?" Lucas asked.
"It's okay. We'll be fine." Goofy said.
"Yeah, until we get drained again by the moment we arrive." Kiyo said.
The group leave the coliseum lobby.
(Olympus Coliseum: Coliseum Gates)
The group go through the gates of the Coliseum and reach for the gates.
"Well, here we go again. Let's be ready." Ky said and everyone nods and they go through the gates.
(Olympus Coliseum: Underworld Entrance)
The group return to the Underworld and while they begin searching they find someone on the ground unconscious and it's Phil.
"Phil!" Sora said as the group run to Phil who starts to regain consciousness.
"What happened to you?" Noel asked.
"I spotted a strange guy all dressed in black. I chased after him, but then two people, who were also hooded, but they were wearing red with black stars showed up. Next thing I know, I'm seeing stars." Phil explained.
"All dressed in black?!" Donald asked.
"The Organization!" Goofy said.
"Red with black stars!" Murray said.
"The Brotherhood!" Shadow said.
"They must be the ones who stole the Olympus Stone." Sora said.
"Where did they go?" Zatch asked.
"They went deeper into the Underworld. Those guys are a bunch of bad apples. All I wanted was to find a backup hero. Just in case Herc needed a break." Phil said.
"Backup hero, huh?" Sora asked.
"Thought you've never asked." Ky said.
"You know someone?" Phil asked and the group prepare to fight. "Oh, good one…" Phil said.
"That's it." Elena said as she casts Thunder on Phil.
"Ow…" Phil said.
"Let's go." Tails said.
The group make their way to the next area of the Underworld.
Meanwhile back at the arena Hercules is fighting against a giant purple creature which happens to be the Hydra and Hercules slashes with his sword as the Hydra bites but as the Hydra delivers a bite Hercules slams his sword down at its head making it fall to the ground not moving and more cheers are heard and everyone chants Hercules' names.
"Thanks! Thank you! I hope you enjoyed it!" Hercules said as he leaves the arena.
(Olympus Coliseum: Underworld-Underworld Caverns: Entrance)
The group arrive at a caverns area in the Underworld and they start moving but then Black Xetis and Heartless appear and attack but the group fight and defeat the Black Xetis and Heartless but then they start feeling uneasy again.
"Man… This Underworld curse is really getting to me…" Sora said.
"Same here, and I hate it." Ky said.
"We'd better find the Olympus Stone!" Bentley said.
"And fast!" Goofy said and everyone nods and continue.
(Olympus Coliseum: Underworld-Underworld Caverns: Lost Road)
The group are in a different part of the Underworld caverns and begin to move but they feel like they're getting lost but they keep going and find the exit and later on they manage to find the exit and got for the next area.
(Olympus Coliseum: Underworld-Underworld Caverns: Atrium)
The group arrive deeper into the Underworld caverns and they explore around and they later find three people and one is wearing a hooded black cloak while the other two are wearing hooded crimson and black star cloaks.
"What the…?!" One of the hooded crimson and black star cloaked figures said.
"The bastards?!" The other hooded crimson and black star cloaked figure said.
"Huh? Oh, it's you!" The hooded Organization member said as he takes off his hood revealing to be a young man face with blond hair. "Wait a sec…" The young man Organization looks at Sora and Ky. "Roxas? Xyk?" The Organization member asked leaving the two confused.
"Excuse me?" Sora asked confused.
"Come again?" Ky asked confused.
"Roxas? Xyk? It's me, Demyx!" The Organization member named Demyx said but nothing. "Oh, it's use…" Demyx said.
"You're an idiot! Hey, wait!" The first crimson and black star cloaked figure said as he takes off his hood showing a young man face with spiky orange hair and having crimson eyes. "You're those assholes that interfered! Lookin' at you pisses me off!" The young man Brotherhood member said.
"You're that Ravik guy!" Ky said.
"No, duh, asshole! Now, I'm gonna kill you!" Ravik said.
"No! I'm on a mission here!" Demyx said.
"We don't care, ya pussy." The hooded Brotherhood member said.
"What is he talking about?" Sora asked.
Demyx then takes out a piece of paper.
"Let's see here… 'If the subjects fail to respond, use aggression to liberate their true disposition'." Demyx read the paper and then puts it away. "Right. Did they pick the wrong guy for this one." Demyx said.
"You're bizarre." Sora said.
"More like idiotic." Ky said.
"I don't give a rat's ass what you're doin'. I want my revenge for gettin' in my way!" Ravik said.
"I can see you want to, Ravik. I'd love to kick some ass with you, but I have more to do. Hey, Pussy! I got somethin' for ya." The hooded Brotherhood member said as he takes out something and it's a stone.
"That must be the Olympus Stone!" Zuko said.
"He's gotta be the thief!" Goofy said.
"Screw you, asshole! Hey, dumbass, get to work or I'll kill you myself!" The hooded Brotherhood member said as he throws the Olympus Stone at Demyx and disappears in darkness.
"Wait!" Noel called but he's gone.
"Man, what a jerk. Oh, well." Demyx said.
"You're not touchin' Ky, ya bastard! He's MINE!" Ravik shouted as he charges at Ky and sends him down.
"Ky!" Elena said.
"Oh, no!" Noel said as she and the others go help Ky.
"Man, whatever. I'll deal with Xyk later. I'm gonna convince you, Roxas." Demyx said.
"Stop calling me that!" Sora said.
"Give us that stone back, ya no good thief!" Donald yelled.
"Now, that's just plain rude!" Demyx said as he uses the Olympus Stone and then takes out a blue sitar.
Meanwhile Ravik sends Ky down but Ky recovers.
"What do you want from me?! It's not my fault you failed at Beast's castle, ya bullheaded idiot!" Ky said.
"Why you…! I'm gonna rip ya to shreds!" Ravik yelled.
"Not on our watch, you brain-dead jerk!" T.J. said as the group join Ky.
"Dammit, you people! I'm tired of you getting' in my way! Fine! BOYS, get out here and KILL THEM ALL!" Ravik shouted and just then Haviks appear and they appear to be dark grey demonic lions with black star symbols and are carrying giant axes.
"You enjoy getting your Havik flunkies fighting for you, huh?" Ky asked.
"PISS OFF! Kill 'em now!" Ravik yelled.
(Battle Theme: Tension Rising)
(Information: Defeat the Haviks!)
The Haviks known as Provokers attack the group with their giant axes but Ky slashes with Dawn of Hope and then delivers a horizontal slash while Noel casts Aero to send them flying allowing Ken to cast Erath to strike but the Provoker Haviks pounce at the group and then try to slam with their axes but Elena casts Blizzard while Max uses Cyclone but the Provoker Haviks spin attacks with their axes at the group but Zuko unleashes a jet of fire while Blaze delivers flame kicks but the Provoker Haviks deliver huge swings with their axes but Bentley throws sleep darts allowing Tails to fire lasers from his blaster but the Provoker Haviks unleash a rage mode and attack in a frenzy but Kiyo has Zatch use Zaker while Storm uses Volt Tackle but the Provoker Haviks brutally swing their axes at the group and then deliver a frenzy punch but T.J. dash slashes with his knife while Lucas uses PK Flash but the Provoker Haviks attack with their axes and then brutally slam their axes but Shadow uses Chaos Rift while Lucky uses Ground Pound but the Provoker Haviks charge at the group and swing their axes and then pounce to attack but Grace use Growl while Murray uses Flame Punch but the Provoker Haviks deliver brutal spin attacks with their axes but Sly attacks with his cane but the Provoker Haviks keep attacking with their axes but Ky and Noel both slash with their Keyblades and the group defeat the Provoker Haviks.
"Dammit! I'll kill you myself!" Ravik yelled as he charges at the group.
"Back off, punk!" Ky said as he casts Fire at Ravik burning him.
"AAAAAAAAGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!" Ravik shouted while being burned and just then his crimson and black star cloak sleeves are now torn and is now sleeveless revealing his muscular arms and a black star symbol is shown on his left shoulder. "You…BASTARD! Not only did that hurt as hell, but you RUINED my clothes!" Ravik yelled.
"Ravik, calm down!" A voice said and it's the sadistic female hooded Brotherhood member.
"What the hell do you want, Sedia! I'm busy!" Ravik yelled.
"The Leader requests you to return. Do it now, idiot." Sedia said.
"Screw you, bitch! I hate you! I'm doing this because I'm loyal to the LEADER, not YOU!" Ravik said and turns to the group. "You're not off the hook, bastard! I'll kill the next time I see your ass!" Ravik said as he disappears in darkness.
"Ta-ta!" Sedia said as she disappears in darkness.
"Brotherhood bastards!" Ken said.
"C'mon, we gotta find Sora!" Ky said.
"Right. Let's go." Noel said as the group make their way to Sora.
Meanwhile Sora, Donald, and Goofy are dealing with Demyx who is playing his sitar.
(Battle Theme: Tension Rising)
"Dance, water! Dance!" Demyx said as he plays the sitar and unleashes water clones of himself.
(Information: Defeat 100 forms!)

"Not bad, Roxas…" Demyx said.
Demyx withdraws his sitar and stumbles back.
"Sora!" Ky called as he and the others join the three.
"Man, this isn't good… Roxas, Xyk…come back to us…" Demyx said as he disappears in a dark corridor.
"What's with this guy?" Sly asked.
"Guy's a broken record." Sora said.
"No kidding." Ky said.
"Pikachu!" Storm said pointing at something on the ground and it's the Olympus Stone.
Donald walks over to it and picks it up and gives the Olympus Stone to Sora and uses use and the Olympus Stone creates a powerful aura around the group making them feel strong.
"Now THAT'S better!" Max said.
"Hmph. So much for the Underworld's curse." Shadow said.
"Let's go! Meg needs our help!" Sora said.
"I hope we're not too late." Noel said.
Before the group can continue Grace turns around.
"Eevee!" Grace said making the group turn to see Demyx again.
"What do you want now?!" Ky asked.
"Get lost!" Sora said.
"Hey, don't be like that, especially when I'm here to tell you about something even better than the Olympus Stone." Demyx said.
"And what's that?" Murray asked.
"Absent Silhouettes, shadowy presences of those who were slain." Demyx said.
"Absent Silhouettes?" Sora asked.
"Like that book we saw earlier?" Noel asked.
"Right, though they come in different shapes and sizes. The item belongs to its owner, who is now nothing more than a shadowy presence. You can still fight them if you want, of course. As you do, it'll slowly awaken the real two of you." Demyx said.
"The real us?" Ky asked.
"What are you talking about?" Sora asked.
"You're the heroes. You'll figure it out." Demyx said as he disappears in a dark corridor.
"What is that anyway?" Sora asked.
"Never mind that right now. Our top priority is helping Meg." Elena said.
"She's right." Donald said.
"C'mon." Ky said.
(Obtained: Olympus Stone)
The group make their way for the next area.
(Olympus Coliseum: Underworld-The Lock)
The group arrive deeper into the Underworld and they find a rocky pillar and it has a shape of Meg and a small keyhole and Ky, Noel, and Sora use their Keyblades to unlock the keyhole making the rocky pillar disappear revealing a white hole.
"What about Meg?" T.J. asked.
"We're almost there." Sora said.
"C'mon. We gotta hurry and save her." Ky said.
The group go for the white hole and are now in what looks like a white place and they find Meg who is now tied up in black chains and with her is Hades.
"Hehehehehehehe! Now that's what I call keys!" Hades said.
"The hell are you talkin' about?" Ken asked.
"Was this…a trap?" Tails asked.
"Gee, thanks for your help! Now have a nice day." Hades said as he disappears.
"Sora, Ky, Noel, behind you!" Meg said.
"Huh?" Noel asked.
Just then Pete comes in with many Hook Bat Heartless.
(Boss Theme: Rowdy Rumble)
"Hahahahahahaha! What's wrong? Can't fight in the Underworld? Oh, boo-hoo-hoo-HOO!" Pete said.
"Pete!" Donald said taking out his staff.
"Not that lunkhead again!" Max said taking out his shield.
"Better think again, Pete!" Sora said.
"This is gonna be one hell of a fight, or did you forget who kicked your fat butt back at Empire City?" Ky said.
"You got lucky, ya little squirt! Now, I'm gettin' my payback! I'm also gonna get rid of these three doofuses! Heartless, CHARGE!" Pete commanded.
"Meg, get back, and stay with us!" Noel said.
(Information: Defeat the Heartless while defending Megara!)
The Hook Bat Heartless begin to attack but Ky slashes with Dawn of Hope and then casts Earth while Noel casts Fire while Sora aerial slashes with Kingdom Key but a Hook Bat Heartless comes to attack Meg but the group keep fighting off the Hook Bat Heartless to defend Meg but Pete throws small bombs but the group avoid Pete and continue to take down Hook Bat Heartless but Pete summons more Hook Bat Heartless and they go for Meg again but the group continue to attack the Hook Bat Heartless while still protecting Meg but more Hook Bat Heartless appear and go for the group but they fight them off again.
Two Hook Bat Heartless come attacking at the group but Ky, Noel, and Sora slash off the Hook Bat Heartless.
"There's too many…" Sora said.
"We don't have time for all this!" Kiyo said.
"Let's just take Meg and get out of here!" Shadow said.
Sora breaks the black chains and frees Meg.
"You punks ain't goin' nowhere!" Pete said.
Just then Pete hears someone coming and he turns to see some Hook Bat Heartless being pushed back at him and coming to the group is Hercules.
"You made it!" Zatch said.
"Sorry I'm late." Hercules said as he whistles.
As Pete gets back up Pegasus comes flying in and jumps on Pete causing him to fall down again.
"You guys get Meg outta here. I'll meet you back at the Coliseum." Hercules said as he mounts Meg on Pegasus' back.
"What about you?" Sora asked.
"I'm gonna show these guys what happens when they mess with a true hero!" Hercules said and the group nod.
"Let's go!" Ky said.
The group start to leave and Pete who recovers and sees the group escaping.
"Now, wait a sec!" Pete said going after the group but Hercules blocks the way.
The group, Pegasus, and Meg return to the lock area of the Underworld.
"Meg, what's wrong?" Noel asked.
"I won't leave him." Meg said.
"He'll be okay." Sora said.
"Look, you know Wonderboy has his limits. He can't keep winning forever." Meg said.
"Then, we'll stay behind and help him." Ky said and Meg nods.
"Pegasus, get Meg out of here!" Elena said and Pegasus nods and Pegasus flies out of the Underworld.
"C'mon, let's go help Herc!" Sora said and everyone nods and goes back into the hole.
Back at the white area Hercules is feeling uneasy while Pete with many Heartless at his side are prepared to finish him off but then the group return and Ky, Noel, and Sora give a nod at Hercules who nods back and they get ready to fight Pete.
"So, ya wanna have a shared grave, huh? Fine, get ready to…" Pete was cut off.
"Actually, we'll handle them together!" A voice said and it reveals to be a bronze and red robot that looks like a warrior and carrying a giant double ax and in the robot is Eggman.
"Eggman!" Tails said.
"Why're you here to fight with me?!" Pete asked.
"I'm going to destroy them in case AND it's obvious you're too incompetent for such a simple task!" Eggman said.
"Why you…!" Pete growled.
"Now, fools! Prepare to have a taste of what my latest creation can do! CRUSH THEM!" Eggman commanded.
The group prepare to fight both Eggman and Pete.

"Hmph! Very well!" Eggman said.
"Same to you, fatso!" Bowser Jr. said.

"You haven't seen the last of us! Next time we meet, you won't be so lucky!" Eggman said as he, Bowser Jr., and the Koopalings leave.
Just then the area starts to crumble.
"This place is gonna go!" Murray said.
"We have to get out of here!" Lucas said.
"C'mon!" Ky said and everyone leaves the area.
After the group leave Hades is in the cave area.
"Could today possibly get ANY better?! Haha! This time, Wonderpunk is goin' down for good!" Hades said.
The group return to the entrance of the Underworld.
"Well, if it isn't everyone's favorite hero washout! You really blew it, ya know!" Hades said as he approaches the group.
"No one likes a sore loser, Hades!" Sora said.
"Can it, Key boy!" Hades said.
"Then, let me handle this. You really are being a sore loser, Hades." Hercules said.
"Yeah, yeah. Styx and stones. Hey, maybe you should check on that Hydra you neglected to finish off. I hear things are really FALLING APART up there, Champ!" Hades said as he leaves.
"Get back here!" Ky yelled.
"Hate to run, but I have another little diversion to attend to." Hades said.
"No…" Hercules said as he makes his way back to the Coliseum.
"Herc?" Donald asked.
"We should go follow him." Zuko said.
"That's good." Noel said.
The group follow Hercules out of the Underworld to return to the Coliseum.
Back at the Coliseum gates Hercules witnesses something and kneels down to the ground.
"This can't be…" Hercules said.
The group return to the Coliseum gates but they see many debris flying at them.
"What…?" Ky asked.
It's revealed that the Hydra is still alive and has destroyed the entire Coliseum and then lets out a roar.
"Holy crap…" Ken said.
Phil and Meg come to Hercules.
"Champ! You're safe!" Phil said.
"No. I failed…" Hercules said looking at the now destroyed Coliseum.
"It's not your fault!" Meg said.
"I left everyone…unprotected… Hades was right! I'm just…a washout!" Hercules said throwing his fist at the ground.
"Oh, c'mon, Champ! I didn't train you to think like that." Phil said.
"Wonderboy…" Meg stops talking.
"This wasn't your doing. You didn't know something like this would happen." Noel said.
"They're right. This is no time to beat yourself up." Sora said.
"I'm some hero…" Hercules said as he turns pale.
Meg begins to walk Hercules away while the Hydra prepares to attack.
(Boss Theme: Desire For All That is Lost)
"Okay, this thing needs to be taught something!" Sly said.
"Herc needs our help!" Donald said.
"Yeah!" Sora said.
"He's gonna get it, alright!" Ky said.

"Hey, Sora! Ky! Noel!" A voice called and they see Phil. "Get up on the Hydra's back!" Phil yelled.
"Let's do it!" Noel said.

Just then the Hydra recovers and now has more heads.
"Just how many more heads will it keep growing?" Kiyo asked.
"Doesn't matter! Let's finish this off!" Noel said.
The Hydra begins to slam its heads at the group who dodge out of the way and as the group prepare to attack the Hydra Pegasus comes flying.
(Reaction Command: Pegasus Run)
Ky, Noel, and Sora get on Pegasus who flies them to the Hydra's heads and Ky, Noel, and Sora slash at all of the Hydra's heads as Pegasus flies around and later on Pegasus lands the three.
The Hydra unleashes blue lightning at the group who dodge and Donald casts Thunder while Storm uses Volt Tackle but the Hydra unleashes more shadow shots at the group but they avoid shadow shots and Lucas uses PK Freeze while T.J. uses Knife Throw but the Hydra tail whips at the group who dodge but the Hydra slams its heads at the group but Kiyo has Zatch use Bao Zakeruga while Max bashes with his shield but the Hydra tries to bite at the group with its many heads but Zuko unleashes a jet of fire at some of the heads while Shadow throws Chaos Arrows at the other heads but the Hydra unleashes more blue lightning at the group but Ken shoots magic music notes while Bentley uses his RC Chopper and shoots missiles at the Hydra's heads but the Hydra tail whips at the group but Grace uses Bite at one of the heads while Lucky delivers a multi air kick at some of the heads but the Hydra slams its heads again at the group who avoid the head slamming and Elena conjures magic blades and sends them at all of the Hydra's heads while Goofy uses Goofy Tornado but the Hydra tail whips at the group but Sly delivers an upper cane attack while Tails shoots lasers from his blaster but the Hydra unleashes more shadow shots but the group dodge the shadow shots and Blaze unleashes flame waves while Murray uses Tornado Punch but the Hydra slams its heads down at the group but Ky, Noel, and Sora enter their Valor forms and Sora delivers slashes with Kingdom Key and Star Seeker and then delivers a cyclone slash while Ky slashes with Dawn of Hope and Brave Star and delivers a devastating spin slash while Noel slashes with Radiant Salvation and then delivers a double kick and then swings Graceful Blade and after enough attacks the Hydra is stunned again allowing Ky, Noel, and Sora to deliver another dash slash and deliver a decapitating slash with their Keyblades and they cut off the Hydra's heads ending the battle.
The Hydra is now defeated and all of its heads are cut and is dead.
"Take that, monster!" Ky said.
"That's for destroying this place!" Sora said.
"Way to go, guys!" Phil said and then takes out something and it's paper. "Ahem, thus I hereby dub thee newcomers junior heroes, for your bravery. Of course, because of what just happened, you can't enter the games." Phil said.
"That's bullcrap! How come we're freakin' junior heroes?!" Ken demanded.
"You rookies still have no idea what it takes to a true heroes." Phil said.
"That doesn't matter, because we'll figure that out ourselves." Ky said.
"That's right. We'll overcome any trail." Noel said.
"That's a very good determination." Phil said.
"Way to go, guys. Looks like you're junior heroes." Sora said.
Later on the group go to Hercules who is now sulking and blaming himself.
"I let you down. I'm just…no use…" Hercules said.
"It's not your fault. Hey, even a god would be exhausted." Meg said.
"She's right. Give yourself a chance to rest." Sora said.
"You deserve it." Ky said.
"There won't be any games for a while anyway." Goofy said.
"Dad!" Max said.
"Don't worry about Wonderboy here. I'll look after him. Sora, Ky, Noel, Donald, Goofy, Elena, Ken, Max, Tails, Blaze, Shadow, Storm, Grace, Kiyo and Zatch, Lucky, T.J., Zuko, Sly, Bentley, Murray, Lucas. I owe you all big time." Meg said.
"It was nothing!" Sora said.
"We were happy to help." Noel said.
"Just let us know if Hades, the Black Xetis, or the Heartless start acting up again. We'll take care of it." Sora said.
"Yeah! That's what heroes are for!" Donald said.
"There you go again!" Tails said.
"When did you guys make hero?" Meg asked.
"Let's save that for another time." Sora said.
"Yeah. We gotta get going." Ky said.
"Okay. Don't be strangers." Meg said.
"Gawrsh, I hope ya feel better, Hercules." Goofy said.
"Yeah." Hercules said.
"Phil?" Donald asked.
"Oh, yeah! Take care you guys! Stay a little longer next time. We have serious training to catch up on." Phil said.
"Well, time to go." Sora said.
"But before we go, we should return the Olympus Stone." Noel said as she takes out the Olympus Stone.
Hercules is about to take it but then the stone starts to glow.
Ky's, Noel's, and Sora's Keyblades appear and the Olympus Stone levitates in the air and the crown symbol appears under the three and they are sent to the same ethereal place and the Olympus Stone reveals another keyhole and Ky, Noel, and Sora use their Keyblades to shoot their light beams and unlock the keyhole.
Meanwhile somewhere in Hollow Bastion which has a ravine Bowser Jr., the Koopalings, Porky, Masked Man, Eggman, and the Deadly Six make their way through the ravine.
"Why are we here, 'Genius'?" Zavok asked.
"Because, that's where that fat cat fool was heading. I planted a tracking device on him without even noticing. It's indicating he's somewhere in a castle." Eggman said.
"And why should we care?" Bowser Jr. asked.
"Because, there is a good source of Heartless in this world, just as Bygone Fortress. Whoever controls the Heartless might prove to be valuable ally." Eggman said.
Meanwhile in a dark chamber of the evil castle a woman with green skin, yellow eyes, wearing a black robe with purple and dark blue trims, a purple high collar, two black horns, and carrying a staff with a green orb is starting outside of the castle.
"And where is everyone else?" The woman asked.
"Beats me. They musta had some other matters to attend to." Pete answered.
"'Matters'? You mean they have more important affairs to attend to than my return?" The woman asked.
"Well, see, there're these two groups called Organization XIII and Brotherhood of Disharmony that keep gettin' in the way…" Pete was cut off.
"Hmph! Let those fools play their little game!" The woman said.
"But what about the runt with the Keyblade? He's been a real pain too. Not to mention, there're other brats that're travellin' with 'im, and they got Keyblades too. That means they're threats, and that means more trouble." Pete said.
"Oh, is that so? Very well, then. I suppose you'd best tell me what's happened during my absence." The woman said.
"There! I found the signal!" Someone said.
"What's this?" The woman asked.
Just then Bowser Jr., The Koopalings, Porky, Masked Man, Eggman, and the Deadly Six arrive at the castle.
"THIS is the castle? Kinda bland and creepy. I guess I like it here." Zor said.
"Is this *cough* *cough* the place?" Porky asked.
"Yes! This is it!" Eggman said.
"You there! Who are you?! What are you doing in my castle?!" The woman demanded.
"Hey, wait a sec! It's that egghead doctor, and those turtle squirts in the Underworld!" Pete said.
"Surprised, Pete? I followed you here! You stupidly didn't realize that I planted a tracking device on you, allowing us to track you down!" Eggman said.
"Why I oughta…!" Pete charges at the evil group.
"Back off!" Masked Man said as he unleashes a lightning strike at Pete sending him down.
"I will not ask again, who are you?! Why are you here?!" The woman demanded.
"Let me start off by humbly apologizing for intruding. After knowing that the Heartless are also coming from this world, I'm anxious to see who controls them. You must be it." Eggman said.
"Now, you'll have to answer THIS, hag! What reasons do you have for controlling these Heartless?" Bowser Jr. asked.
"If you must know, I am creating a vast army of Heartless to rule all worlds." The woman answered. "Now, be gone!" The woman commanded as she summons Soldier Heartless.
"Is that how you wish to resolve this way?" Master Zik asked as they summon their their own Soldier Heartless along with Zombie Black Xetis.
"Those creatures! What are they?!" The woman asked.
"Why, they're the Black Xetis! They're creatures that are also created by darkness, and they obey us!" Ludwig said.
"Observe!" Eggman said as he sends his Zombie Black Xetis to attack the Soldier Heartless and destroy them.
"Our Heartless are stronger than yours, and the same goes for the Black Xetis." Masked Man said.
"Nananananananana… *wheeze* *wheeze*" Porky said.
"You're cheatin'!" Pete said.
"Cheating or not, we're better than you." Bowser Jr. said.
"Now, you just said you want to take over all the worlds. That's our objective. However, as you're aware…" Eggman takes out a small device and reveals to be a projection of Ky, Noel, Sora, and their friends. "Because these fools are on their little journey, they're hindering us from making our plan a reality! The same thing should be happening to you, I assume." Eggman said.
"Well, well. That wretched Keyblade boy, and the King's pathetic fools!" The woman said.
"You know them, right?" Zeena asked.
"Those meddlesome fools have foiled my attempts to gain what I have desired! Now, speak! What do you know?!" The woman demanded.
"We'll be gladly to share our objective with you…IF you combine your powers with ours." Bowser Jr. said.
"Excuse me?" The woman asked.
"With your powers, with your own Heartless army and OUR Heartless army and Black Xeti army, we'll be able to dominate everything! We can rule every single world!" Eggman said.
"That is if you refuse, you can try to go with your plan yourself, but you will just suffer another defeat." Zavok said.
"So, what's it gonna be *cough* *cough* witch?" Porky asked.
"Uh, I don't think this is a good idea to…" Pete was cut off.
"Silence, you fool! I will not be advised by the likes of YOU!" The woman snapped and then turns to the group. "From what you are saying, we have a common enemy to destroy, and a common goal to reach. You propose an alliance to combine our efforts? How interesting to ask the Mistress of all Evil such a thing." The woman said.
"Well, do you agree, or not?" Eggman asked.
"If I agree, what's in it for me?" The woman asked.
"We'll allow you to have some control of our Black Xetis." Bowser Jr. said.
"Now, we will ask again, do you not agree?" Eggman asked.
"Very well then. We shall join forces." The woman said.
"Excellent! You are wise than I thought! We'll be in touch, my dear." Eggman said as he, Bowser Jr, the Koopalings, Porky, Masked Man, and the Deadly Six leave the castle.
"Are ya sure this is a good idea? What if they betray us?" Pete asked.
"I said silence you impudent worm! Now, you have some explaining to do! What has happened while I was away?" The woman asked.
There you go! New chapter done! I hope you enjoyed this! Now, as you know, yes. I WILL add in chapters involving the Absent Silhouettes Organization fights. I will also be doing bonus chapters of Organization XIII data battles, so don't ask me about that. There you go. Next time, Ky, Noel Sora, Donald, Goofy, Elena, Ken, Max, Tails, Blaze, Shadow, Storm, Grace, Kiyo and Zatch, Lucky, T.J., Zuko, Sly, Bentley, Murray, and Lucas go to a new world, but it's something Elena and Ken are familiar with, but then there is a tension between the two. I'll see you all in the next chapter! Take care, and goodbye for now! Don't forget to favorite, follow, and review! Bye!
