Ky, Noel, Elena, Ken, Max, Tails, Blaze, Shadow, Storm, Grace, Kiyo and Zatch, Lucky, T.J., Zuko, Sly, Bentley, Murray, and Lucas leave Land of Ninja while Sora, Donald, and Goofy return to the Gummi ship and they continue their journey and they later find Olympus Coliseum and so Ky and Noel use their Keyblades to create their light portal and enter the light portal while the Gummi ship enters the world.
(Field Theme: The Underworld)
(Olympus Coliseum: Underworld Entrance)
In the Underworld entrance the light portal appears and Ky, Noel, Elena, Ken, Max, Tails, Blaze, Shadow, Storm, Grace, Kiyo and Zatch, Lucky, T.J., Zuko, Sly, Bentley, Murray, and Lucas fly out of the light portal before it disappears while Sora, Donald, and Goofy arrive and they look around the Underworld.
"Not here again…" Lucas said.
"I hate this place." Zatch said.
"Pika!" Storm said pointing at something.
"Huh?" Ky asked.
The group see a giant stadium from afar.
"What is THAT?" Noel asked.
"It's the Underdrome." A voice said and the group see Auron.
"Underdrome?" Sora asked.
"It was a coliseum, where fighters of the Underworld fight nonstop and kill each other. Zeus hated the senseless violence and sealed it." Auron explained.
"So, how did it get unlocked?" Ky asked.
"Some fool must have broken the seal." Auron said.
"I hope that wasn't us…" Noel said.
"Hey, Auron, we should catch up." Sora said.
"If you wish to talk to your friends, then see them." Auron said looking at Hercules and Meg near the Underworld Entrance and then Auron leaves.
"Well, let's go see Herc." Goofy said.
The group approaches Hercules.
"Hey…" Hercules said.
"Herc! You feeling better?" Sora asked.
"Well, same routine. Wonderboy thinks his hero days are over, but Phil thinks it's all in his head." Meg said.
"C'mon, Herc! Don't let one accident get to you. It wasn't your fault!" Elena said.
"Yeah! We know you're a hero!" Goofy said.
"That's right! Blunderboy." A voice said. "How can you mope around on a momentous day like today?" The voice said and it reveals to be Hades. "The Underdrome's back, and you are gonna fill the stands. After all, your fans won't settle for anything less than a certified hero." Hades said as he places his hand on Hercules' shoulder. "I mean, if you're not up to it, you could always…I don't know, LOSE." Hades said.
"I'd bet you'd like that!" Sora said.
"Yeah, we all know you wanna see Hercules go down!" Ky said.
"Excuse me? Hey, I'm not a selfish guy. I'm not like those high and mighty snobs up on Olympus. I stand for the masses! I have a massive idea." Hades said. "The games, ladies and gentlemen…are BACK! Yours truly, Hades…the one and only Lord of the Dead…brings you the ultimate games, to celebrate the re-opening of the ultimate coliseum! We'll finally answer the age-old question: Who deserves the title 'Ultimate Hero'? These games are gonna settle the debate once and for all! The winner reigns supreme. Of what? You guessed it! THE HADES CUP!" Hades announced. "And I assure you that the 'Great' Hercules will be there. Otherwise…" Hades stops talking as he looks at Meg but Hercules puts her behind him. "You'll never see your girlfriend again." Hades said.
"Lowlife!" Sora yelled.
"Asswipe!" Ken yelled.
"You're too kind, kids." Hades said as he disappears.
Just then the group see Pain and Panic.
"I'm handling registration for the Hades Cup. Don't ask Panic for that!" Pain said.
"Yeah. It's a great way to spend some time." Panic said.
"Well, what should we do?" Tails asked.
"There's no way we're letting Hercules compete by himself, especially in his current condition." Bentley said.
"Then, we'll compete with him!" Donald said.
"Sounds like a good plan to me." Zuko said.
"Yeah, anything for Herc." T.J. said.
The group talk to Pain.
"Yo, fatass! We're signing up!" Ken said.
"Don't call me that!" Pain said.
"Just sign us up." Kiyo said.
"Okay, then. Good luck out there…NOT!" Pain said.
The group look at the registration board.
"So, who are we going against first?" Hercules asked.
"'Spin Strike' is what it says." Max said.
"Hey, look! Auron's in the tournament too!" Donald said.
"Huh. I had no idea." Ky said.
"I just hope we don't have to fight him…" Noel said.
"I bet he's a real hero." Hercules said.
"He didn't say that…" Ky said.
"But he doesn't look like a bad guy." Sora said.
"Listen, Hercules, you're the only hero around here." Shadow said.
"I used to be. Now I'm…" Hercules was cut off by Elena smacking him.
"STOP IT!" Elena shouted.
"Elena!" Donald yelled but Elena stomps her foot on Donald's head.
"Let's just get started." Ky said.
(Olympus Coliseum: Underdrome)
(Battle Theme: What Lies Beneath)
The group go against many Black Xetis and Heartless who attack at the group but Ky casts Magnet to gather them all together and then slashes with Dawn of Hope while Noel casts Water while Sora enters his Valor form and slashes with Kingdom Key and Star Seeker while Donald casts Blizzard while Goofy uses Goofy Bash while Elena shoots magic bolts while Ken shoots magic music notes while Max uses Shield Charge while Tails throws ring bombs while Blaze uses Fire Drill while Shadow throws Chaos Spears while Storm uses Volt Tackle while Grace uses Growl while Kiyo has Zatch use Zaker while Lucky uses Ground Pound while T.J. dash slashes with his knife while Zuko unleashes barrages of fireballs while Sly attacks with his cane while Bentley shoots darts while Murray triple punches while Lucas uses PK Flash while Hercules tries to deliver a punch but fails and the group defeat the Black Xetis and the Heartless.
"So, how'd it go, Champ?" Sora asked.
"I'm not what I used to be. Sorry to drag you guys down." Hercules said.
"Please don't give up on yourself, Hercules. We still need you for the semifinals." Noel said.
The group get ready for the next match.
"Great news, guys! You're heading for the semifinals!" Pain said.
"We can handle that!" Sly said.
"We'll waste 'em!" Murray said.
"I doubt that, but hey. It's worth a shot." Pain said.
The group look at the registration board.
"We're now at the semifinals, so now things will get hard." Blaze said.
"Against more Black Xetis and Heartless!" Donald said.
"Maybe, but no way we're chickening out now!" Ky said.
"Well, let's do our best." Lucas said.
The group return to the Underdrome and prepare to fight in the next round against more Black Xetis and Heartless.
The Black Xetis and the Heartless attack at the group but Ky enters his Limit form and uses Sonic Blade while Noel casts Stop freezing them and then triple slashes with Radiant Salvation followed by casting Earth while Sora vertical slashes with Kingdom Key and then delivers a leaping slash while Donald casts Thunder while Goofy bashes with his shield while Elena use her telekinetic magic and slams them to the ground while Ken casts Fire while Max uses Shield Boomerang while Tails unleashes Magic Hand and it delivers a punch while Blaze delivers ballet style kicks while Shadow multi punches with Chaos infused power while Storm uses Iron Tail while Grace tail whips while Kiyo has Zatch shoot several lightning bolts while Lucky uses Egg Throw while T.J. uses Knife Throw while Zuko slashes with flame daggers while Sly uses Cane Spin while Bentley throws bombs while Murray uses Tornado Punch while Lucas uses PK Thunder while Hercules still tries to deliver a punch but fails still and the group defeat the Black Xetis and the Heartless.
"We've made it to the finals!" Sora said.
"We kick ass!" Ken said.
"Does that mean we'll become heroes?" T.J. asked.
"If we win, that means that will happen." Donald said.
"So, THAT'S why you're so excited on winning." Tails said.
"Well, we all can't be junior heroes forever." Zuko said.
"He's not wrong." Ky said.
"I'll try not to mess up your chances." Hercules said.
"You're attitude is REALLY irritating." Zatch said but Kiyo smacks him. "Ow…" Zatch said rubbing his head.
"Hey, over there. Is that the one we're against?" Hercules asked.
The group turn to see someone and it's Auron.
"Auron!" Sora said.
Auron turns to face the group.
"And you are?" Auron asked.
"Huh? Auron, you feeling okay?" Ky asked.
"I must defeat you to atone for my crimes." Auron said as he walks away.
"Wait!" Elena called but Auron is gone.
"What was that all about?" Sora asked.
"Maybe we should go after him." Noel said.
The group leave the Underdrome and see Auron going for the Cave of the Dead and so the group run after him but they also see someone else going after Auron and it's Siegfried.
"Siegfried!" Noel said.
"Noel… What are you doing here?" Siegfried asked.
"We're going after Auron. He's acting weird." Sora said.
"I see. Something must be wrong. I'm going to see why he's acting like this." Siegfried said.
"We'll come with you." Max said.
"No. Don't involve yourself." Siegfried said.
"C'mon, we joined forces once when we rose up against Nightmare before." Zuko said.
"You trust us, right?" Ken asked.
"I suppose, but stay close to me." Siegfried said.
"Right." Tails said.
(Siegfried has joined you!)
The group follow Auron.
(Olympus Coliseum: Underworld-Cave of the Dead: Entrance)
The group arrive at the Cave of the Dead but then they hide as they find Auron who is talking to Hades.
"Okay, let's review. State your crime, prisoner." Hades said.
"I exist. That is my crime. It is…inexcusable." Auron said.
"Ooh, good. Very good." Hades said.
"What's wrong with Auron? He's never acted like this before." Sora said.
"Sora, quiet!" Ky said.
"Okay, so you made one lousy mistake; you exist. Hey, I'm a forgiving guy. You keep your end of the deal, and I'm willing to overlook a transgression or two." Hades said.
"I understand. Defeat Hercules." Auron said.
"And that rogue warrior, and Herc's meddling friends." Hades said.
"What? No. Only Hercules." Auron said.
"Oh, don't tell me you forgot who's in charge." Hades said as he grabs Auron's shoulder and unleashes a statue version of Auron and starts casting a spell. "Hercules, the rogue warrior, AND those wretched three Keybladers and their annoying friends. Are we clear?" Hades asked.
"We're clear, Hades." Auron said.
"LORD Hades." Hades said.
"Lord…Hades." Auron said.
"Good. Now go." Hades said and Auron walks away.
"So that's why Auron's acting strange." Noel said.
"Yeah, Hades is controlling Auron!" Sora said.
"With that statue!" Bentley said.
"What a jackass!" Ken yelled.
"He'd probably take that as a compliment." Max said.
"This is just…awful!" Sly said.
"I agree. I can't stand seeing Auron do that lowlife's bidding." Sora said.
"We must do something." Siegfried said.
The group see Auron leaving the cave and so the follow after him.
The group return to the entrance and they see Auron on a boat and going for the Underdrome.
"Damn! Too late!" Ky said.
"What's wrong?" Hercules asked.
"Auron's in trouble!" Noel said.
"It's like Hades brainwashed him!" Sora said.
"He's usin' some sort of a statue." Goofy said.
"You know, that sounds kinda familiar." Hercules said.
"What do you know?" Blaze asked.
"Hades might be using that statue to hold Auron's free will hostage." Hercules said.
"What can we do?" Donald asked.
"Find that statue. It has to be somewhere in the Underworld." Hercules said.
"Okay. New mission, find the statue." Ky said.
Just then Hades appears behind the group.
"Tell me you're not thinking of leaving. You have a match coming up." Hades said.
"Screw you!" Elena yelled.
"I'll fight Auron. One-on-one." Hercules shocking everyone.
"What?!" Murray asked shocked.
"Oh, you will?" Hades asked as he turns his back to think.
"Herc, what are you doing?" Ky asked.
"I'll draw things out to buy you guys some time." Hercules said.
"But…" Sora stops talking.
"Just hurry back. I know you can do it." Hercules said.
"Congratulations! You've got yourself a deal!" Hades said.
"Thanks." Hercules said.
"On ONE condition! The three Keybladers, here, and their trusty friends, along with knight guy, here, must meet the winner in one final clash. Whaddya say?" Hades asked.
"That'll drive the crowd wild." Hercules said.
"It'd better. I promised the crowd the event of their afterlives." Hades said.
"You're just plain horrible." Zuko said.
Hades and Hercules get on the boat on its way to the Underdrome.
"Haha! Sucker! You know for me, the rest is smooth sailing." Hades said.
The group nod at each other as they have a new mission.
"Let's go find that statue!" Bentley said.
"I'll help you. Auron being in control is reminding me of my past. He must be freed!" Siegfried said.
"Okay. Let's get going." Noel said.
The group make their way back to the Cave of the Dead to find the statue and they later go deeper into the cave.
(Olympus Coliseum: Underworld-Cave of the Dead: Passage)
The group go through the passage of the Cave of the Dead and keep going to find the statue until they later reach the end and go for the next area.
(Olympus Coliseum: Underworld-Cave of the Dead: Inner Chamber)
The group arrive at the inner chamber of the Cave of the Dead and keep going to find the statue and they later go for the next area.
Meanwhile in the Underdrome the fight between Hercules and Auron begins and Auron is gaining the upper hand while Hercules is dodging the attacks and Hades is watching from his throne.
"Now THAT is entertainment!" Hades said.
As the battle between Hercules and Auron continues Meg and Phil watch with worry.
(Olympus Coliseum: Underworld-Valley of the Dead)
The group make their way through the dead valley to reach for Hades' chamber and they later arrive at the palace.
(Olympus Coliseum: Underworld-Hades' Chamber)
The group arrive at Hades' chamber and they find the statue of Auron.
"There it is!" Ky said.
"Let's take it and get outta here." Sora said as he touches the statue but Sore gets electrocuted.
"Sora!" Ky said as he tries to help him but also gets electrocuted.
"Huh?" Goofy asked as he touches and then gets electrocuted.
"What?" Donald asked as he also touches and then gets electrocuted.
"What's happening?" Blaze asked.
"I don't know." T.J. said.
"It is not too late! Let us turn back! Yes, but I…I cannot accept it. Where is the sense in all this? But…there must be another way! Your deaths will mean nothing! You must live!" A voice that sounds like Auron said.
"That was…something." Elena said.
"I get it now. This must be what belongs in Auron's heart." Sora said.
"Gawrsh, he musta had a pretty rough life." Goofy said.
"I'll say." Ky said.
"Yeah, but in the end, that's what makes him stronger." Sora said.
"Let's give it back to him." Zatch said.
"Yes. He deserves it." Siegfried said.
Just then Dusk Nobodies appear and surround the group.
"What the hell?!" Ken said.
"Nobodies…HERE?!" Ky asked.
"Where'd they come from?" Sora asked.
(Battle Theme: Tension Rising)
(Information: Defeat all of the Nobodies!)
The Dusk Nobodies attack the group but Ky slashes with Dawn of Hope while Noel horizontal slashes with Radian Salvation followed by a flip slash while Sora triple slashes with Kingdom Key while Donald casts Fire while Goofy uses Shield Torpedo while Elena shoots magic concussive blasts while Ken bashes his guitar while Max bashes with his shield while Tails shoots shots from his blaster while Blaze delivers a flame kick while Shadow slashes with Chaos daggers while Storm unleashes electricity while Grace uses Bite while Kiyo has Zatch use Zakeruga while Lucky uses Egg Roll while T.J. multi slashes with his knife while Zuko unleashes three jets of flames while Sly uses Cane Push while Bentley shoots explosive darts while Murray uses Turbo Charge while Lucas uses PK Love while Siegfried slashes with his zweihander.
Just then more Dusk Nobodies appear.
"Seriously?" Kiyo asked.
"Why do they keep coming?" Lucas asked.
"Hey! Go away!" Donald yelled.
Before the Nobodies could attack Bully Dog Heartless come and bite at one of the Dusks shocking the group.
"Whoa! The Heartless are attacking." Ky said.
"Not sure what I had in mind, but I'll take it." Sora said.
"Whatever works for us, as long as there are no more interruptions." Shadow said.
"We'd better skedaddle!" Goofy said.
"Good idea, Dad." Max said.
The group leave the chamber as the Heartless and Nobodies continue to fight.
(Obtained: Auron Statue)
Later on the group are now back at the entrance of the Underworld.
"Okay. We got the statue. Now, let's hurry back for the Underdrome." Zuko said.
"Yeah. Herc and Auron need our help." Murray said.
The group approach Pain.
"Yo, fatass! Let us back to the Underdrome!" Ken said.
"Sorry, fight's in progress. You can't go in until Herc loses." Pain said.
"Actually, that's why we need to go to the Underdrome. We wanna see Herc lose." Tails said.
"Yeah! We know he wouldn't stand a chance against Auron, and we figured we would have to face him soon." Elena said.
"Oh, well, okay then. I guess that's okay. Get on and we'll let you go to the Underdrome." Pain said.
The group get on the boat and go for the Underdrome.
Back at the Underdrome the fight between Hercules and Auron continues and Auron keeps delivering attacks with his sword but Hercules dodges the attacks but Hercules is now on a ledge of the arena and Auron rushes to Hercules to deliver a strike with his sword but Hercules grabs the sword to stop the slashing.
"Now! Finish him!" Hades commanded.
As Hercules is kneeling to the ground Auron is prepared to finish off Hercules.
"Auron! No!" A voice called and the group arrive at the Underdrome.
"Hey, Auron! This is yours!" Ky said as Sora throws the statue at Auron and the statue explodes into sparkles and Auron comes to his senses.
"Sora. Ky. Noel. Everyone." Auron said.
"Auron!" The group cheered.
"He's back…" Siegfried said.
"Why those little…!" Hades stops talking as he turns red but then reverts back to blue. "Argh! Prisoner! What happened to our mutual agreement? I can give you a clean slate, but you gotta work with me." Hades said.
"Maybe you didn't hear me. This is my story, and you're not part of it." Auron said and Hades turns red again and disappears from his throne.
Hades reappears to confront the group.
"That's IT! This game is over! I've played by the rules so far!" Hades said.
"Is that right? Playing by the rules?" Ky scoffed.
"You were wanting Hercules to lose this whole time." Noel said.
"Okay! I confess! I was hoping Wonderboy would lose, but it was still a fair fight. C'mon, is that really so wrong, huh?" Hades asked.
"Really? A fair fight?" Sora scoffed and Donald and Goofy laugh.
"Laugh, laugh, laugh all you want! Hahahahaha! 'Cause the laughing is about to stop! Wanna know why? Because now we're gonna play MY rules!" Hades said as he snaps his fingers and a door rises up and reveals a swirling green vortex.
Just then a scream is heard and it was Meg's scream and she disappeared.
"Meg!" Hercules said as he finds Meg levitating in smoke by Hades and is going over the vortex.
"Hercules!" Meg cried.
"You wouldn't…!" Hercules yelled.
"Hey, I warned you right at the get-go. You don't compete, you lose the girl." Hades said as he releases the smoke and Meg falls into the vortex.
Hercules rushes for the vortex.
"No! Meg, hang on!" Hercules said as he dives into the vortex.
(Boss Theme: Vim and Vigor)
"Looks like Wonderboy has dropped out of the standings." Hades said as the door closes and the group get into their fighting stances.
"This isn't over, Hades!" Ky said.
"Yeah. You still got US to deal with!" Sora said.
Hades disappears and reappears behind the group and turns red.
"Oh, yeah! This is gonna be good!" Hades said.
(Auron has joined you!)
Hades attacks at the group with his flame attacks but Ky, Noel, and Sora slash with their Keyblades while Donald casts Blizzard while Goofy bashes with his shield while Elena casts Water while Ken unleashes magic music waves while Max uses Shield Charge while Tails tail swipes while Blaze ballet kicks while Shadow multi punches while Storm uses Iron Tail while Grace tail whips while Kiyo has Zatch use Zaker while Lucky double kicks while T.J. slashes with his knife while Zuko slashes with his broadswords while Sly attacks with his cane while Bentley throws bombs while Murray triple punches while Lucas uses PK Flash while Auron slashes with his sword while Siegfried slashes with his zweihander but nothing is hurting Hades and he laughs at the group's failure to attack.
"It's no use! Our attacks aren't working..." Noel said.
"We can't win…" Sora said.
"How come?" Donald asked.
"Because it's his Underworld." Auron said.
"He'll remain invincible." Siegfried said.
"But there has to be a way to defeat him!" Tails said.
Before Hades could attack the group he hears the door being opened.
"I think a true hero should be able to help!" A voice said and Hades is shocked to see Hercules shining with gold aura while holding Meg.
"But, you…!" Hades stops talking.
"I owe you one, Hades. I didn't hesitate to give my life for Meg's, and then I remembered…a true hero is measured by the strength of his heart." Hercules said as Pegasus flies in and Hercules sets Meg down while the group approach him.
"Glad to see you feeling better." Ky said.
"Yeah. I'll never forget that again." Hercules said.
"Just no more crazy stunts." Sora said.
"People always do crazy things when they're in love." Hercules said and the group laugh while Pegasus takes Meg and flies off.
"What is so FUNNY, you imbeciles?!" Hades demanded. "How dare you get a happy ending! How DARE you!" Hades yelled.
(Boss Theme: The Encounter)
Hades turns red again.
"I'm going to destroy every last one of you!" Hades yelled.
"Guys, with my help, Hades won't stand a chance!" Hercules said.
"Got it, Herc!" Sora said.
"Thank you." Noel said.
"Whatever plan you have, Blunderboy, it won't work!" Hades yelled as he starts to attack with fire attacks.
"You won't stop a TRUE HERO!" Hercules said as he unleashes two aura spheres. "Use these on Hades!" Hercules said.
"Okay!" Ky said.
As Hades attacks the group Ky and Sora both use the aura spheres to strike at Hades and he is back to being blue.
"What?! How is this possible?!" Hades asked.
"He's weak!" Shadow said.
"Now we can strike him." Auron said.

"It's…not over yet!" Hades said.
"Don't even assume that!" Siegfried yelled as he charges at Hades and then delivers a stab at Hades with his zweihaner.
"Why you…! Get off!" Hades yelled.
"This is where you'll end!" Siegfried said.
"Siegfried, no!" Noel said.
"I'll make sure you'll never bring me back again!" Siegfried said as he launches himself and Hades into the vortex.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!" Hades screamed as he's being sent into the vortex with Siegfried.
"Siegfried…" Noel said.
"He sacrificed himself again." Zuko said.
"He seems like a hero to me." Hercules said.
The group later return to the Underworld entrance and the group are talking to Auron.
"So, whatcha gonna do now?" Donald asked.
"I lived my life defending others. But now there's no one left to protect. Maybe…it's time I shaped my own story." Auron said.
"That sounds good." Ky said.
"Yeah. You deserve it, Auron. After everything you've been through." Sora said.
"I suppose I should thank you." Auron said.
"Not at all!" Sora said.
"Fine." Auron said turning away.
"Well, you could thank us a little…" Ky said.
"You should say what you mean." Auron said as he turns to face the group again. "Perhaps I could spare a few words… Thanks for meddling." Auron said shocking the group.
"Um, huh?" Noel asked.
"Wh-What?" Ky asked.
"Hey, what's that mean?" Sora asked but Auron walks away with a smirk on his face.
Later on the group return to the Coliseum ruins and meet with Hercules and Meg.
"Thanks again, guys! You're the best!" Hercules said.
"Excuse us for meddling!" Donald said.
"Oh, grow up, Donald!" Elena said.
"Aw, looks like someone's feathers are a little ruffled. I'm kidding. Thank you, Sora, Ky, Noel, everyone." Meg said.
"So, where are you guys headed to next?" Hercules asked.
"Well, you know…" Ky stops talking.
"You two love birds seem to be getting along just fine without us hanging around." Sora said making Hercules and Meg look away.
"Let's get going." Tails said.
"Yep, before we start meddlin'." Goofy said.
"It's not that funny!" Zuko said.
"Are you turkeys tryin' to put me outta the job?" Someone asked and it's Phil. "If you keep acing every challenge, Champ, who'm I gonna train?" Phil asked.
"Aw, you can't abandon me now, Phil. I need to be at the top of my game in case Hades shows up again." Hercules said.
"Yo, Goat boy! Are we heroes now?" Ken asked.
"Yeah! Are we true heroes yet?" Donald asked.
"C'mon, Phil. How 'bout it?" Sora asked.
"Lemme see now… You're not wise enough. Not quite seasoned enough." Phil said.
"Can't you just say it or something?" Ky asked.
"Look, kid, it's not my call." Phil said.
"Crap…" Ken said.
"Aw, phooey." Donald said.
"Course if it was, you'd have no problem. I'd name you all heroes in a heartbeat." Phil said.
"Really?!" Sora asked.
"Say it again!" Donald said.
"On second thought, if those are your 'hero' faces, you have a lot of work to do." Phil said.
"What the hell does THAT mean?" Ken asked.
"Go away!" Phil said.
"Phil!" Sora said.
"Leave me alone!" Phil said as he runs off and Sora, Donald, and Ken run after him.
"See that?" Meg asked looking up at the sky.
"Well, whaddya know…" Hercules said.
"Huh? No way!" Ky said.
"Oh, my. I can't believe this." Noel said as everyone looks up at the sky.
Sora, Donald, and Ken also look up at the sky and so does Phil and he's shocked and begins to cry while the group cheer at looking at the sky as star images of 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 appear in the sky as a mark that the group are now known as true heroes.
