I don't own Kingdom Hearts or Avengers. They belong to Disney, Square Enix, and Marvel. Alright, it's time for our first world on the journey back to the Avengers' homeworld: and that would be Hercules!

I mean, c'mon! It's been in most Kingdom Hearts games except for Dream Drop Distance and from what it seems, it looks like it will be in KH4 so I felt like I had to include it here. Plus, there's another reason why I'm visiting this world. You'll understand why when you guys read the chapter.

Although, I do have to say this is one out of the two returning worlds in the cannon that will be in this story. The three have yet to appear in the KH series and one probably will never show up at all as it's not a Disney film. As for what those worlds are, you'll have to stick around to find out. Now, before we begin, let's reply to some reviews.

NaruSaku fan in Kentucky: Same here, even if it is the sequels. I know they're not the greatest Star Wars films but I still like them. However, if it's going to appear in KH, I'm hoping it's the ones that started it all. This could very likely be the case in KH4 but I guess we'll have to wait and see until we know for sure. But yes, Jar Jar is the worse in Star Wars just right next to Rose. I won't deny that. I will not confirm or deny that Star Wars will be in this. ;D Not 100% sure what you were saying about Wanda as it wasn't in your other review, but it's okay.

Guest: Let it begin!

olehbilenko93: Thank you!

the mysterious Mr.E: Like I said its tradition. And I'm traditional. No, this story is solely focused on Scarlet Witch, Spider-Man, and Sora. The Guardians of the Galaxy, Scrooge McDuck, and the other Avengers will each have their roles, but only those three, in particular, will appear in the Disney films, but that being said, there's always a chance you might see a Spidey villain or two appear on certain worlds. Also, The Guardians are looking at the worlds they know for Riku and Kairi. There's a reason they haven't reached the Disney worlds prior to Sora.

Maximum Rhapsody: No, the main leads are Spider-Man, Scarlet Witch, and Sora. The Guardians are the side characters in this, like the Final Fantasy or World Ends with You characters if that clears things up. Also, I'm sticking to the original group we save in the first film, the tv show, and the start of the two video games they made. Nothing against Mantis. As of right now, not really. But, hey, you never know.

Monkey D. Conan: Yeah, you're going to see a lot of that. Don't mess with a mother's child. Especially, if they have superpowers. As of right now, this is going to be a solo story. No plans of turning this into a series.

lyokoMARVELanime: Yeah, we're going to see a lot of parenting Sora and leading Wanda and Peter ending up together because of it. I wonder how the latter is going to explain all of this to his Aunt May. XD I'm actually shocked no one bothered asking about that yet. Yeah, I think we can safely say Wanda and Rocket are never going to see eye to eye. Nothing quite that big, we might see him do a little something here and there but he's not getting his Keyblade any time soon. Same with Riku and Kairi. But I do have something special planned for them. You just have to wait and see what it is. I promise it will be worthwhile and change the events of the KH series and the Marvel Universe.

Guest: Thank you. I can't say without spoiling anything. Just like the cannon, the Master of Masters and Xehanort are two completely different men. We won't the MoM much if at all in this. This is taking place in the Dark Seeker saga.

Guest: As I mentioned above, other than Olympus Coliseum, only one other returning world will appear in this so it could be Aladdin or Lion King. It might not be. You'll see what world it is soon enough. Nice guess though.

Guest: I will outright say the non-Disney world is not DC. Sorry. I'd keep guessing.

Daniel6: Glad your liking this so far! I have tons of exciting moments for this story.

And with that out of the way, here's the next chapter where our heroes appear on their first Disney World! Enjoy!

Chapter 3: Let the Games Begin

Rain. The clear blue skies had darkened that day. The clouds weep onto the cemetery at Scala ad Caelum. Xehanort laid an arrangement of flowers at four gravestones of the Keyblade Wielders that were training beside him under the same Master. Each at one point, were his friends. He knelt down, closing his heavy eyes, the rain-filled his tears. Another of the sole surviving students, Eraqus approached him, "You're leaving?"

"Yeah," Xehanort nodded as he felt like that was all he could say.

Eraqus walked up to him before standing beside him, "We had some good times, huh?"

Xehanort sighed, still grieving, "Yeah."

"You don't have to leave." The teenage boy clothed in white told him. Xehanort said nothing in response as his friend tried to tell him, "What happened wasn't your fault."

"I just want to see more of what's out there before the Mark of Mastery exam," The young man in black clothes admitted still feeling guilty all the same.

"That's not for a while," Eraqus pointed out, "Besides, you've already seen what's out there."

"Not everything," Xehanort admitted,

Eraqus raised an eyebrow, "What are you looking for?"

Xehanort said nothing before standing on his feet and turned to walk away. Eraqus's sadness turns to frustration, "Fine, but you better come back. We've got a score to settle. I'm at 117 wins, 312 losses, and 8 draws.

Xehanort suddenly came to stop before correcting him, "You mean 107 wins, 323 losses, and 7 draws."

"Whatever," Earqus shrugged, "Close enough."

Xehanort turned back to him, "Do you seriously mean that?"

Despite the recent losses, Earqus smirked, "Knew I'd get you to turn around. See you soon, buddy."

Xehanort returned the smile, to his long-time best friend, who's been like a brother to him from the very beginning, "See you."

He turned to leave the cemetery and Eraqus's face fills with grief again. As the two Keyblade Wielders went their separate ways, Xehanort spotted the figure in the brown cloak from the Islands, there to visit him yet again...

Back in the present, the Scarlet Witch fell to her knees on the new world, breathing heavily after exerting that much power and witnessing the visions of Xehanort. Why did she keep getting these visions, was it because he was using them just as much as she has?

Sora walked up to her with concern, "Are you okay, Miss Wanda?"

Wanda turned to Sora and gave him a reassuring smile, "I'll be alright. Teleporting to another world is a first for me."

Spider-Man then offered her his hand, turning to him she gladly took it as he pulled her up. Once, she was on her feet, she smiled in gratitude, "Thank you." She then took a good look at their surroundings before wondering, "Um... you sure, we didn't go back in time?"

Olympus Coliseum

"Pretty sure," Spider-Man answered before admitting, "Though it's a little strange this world feels like we're in Ancient Greece."

"Any idea which movie this could be based on?" Wanda asked as Spider-Man turned to her as she pointed out, "You're the movie expert. I have never really seen these kinds of movies. I always been more into old sitcoms."

Sora tilted to his in confused, "What's a sitcom?"

"Well..." She was about to answer when a Heartless appeared behind Sora. She gasped in horror as she pulled him away as Spider-Man kicked it away from them. She placed Sora behind her as Spider-Man came to her side, "Stay behind us, Sora. We'll protect you."

More Heartless began showing up as the two Avengers prepared to fight them. Suddenly, the sound of footsteps came running in, when a satyr jumped in between Wanda and the Heartless, he turned to her with a smirk and a thumbs up, "Stand back, sweetcheeks. I'll take care of this."

Wanda's eyes widened at the satyr while Spider-Man took a good look at Wanda's 'protector,' his eyes narrowed, "Wait, isn't that...?" His eyes widened in realization, "Oh, now I know which film... place we're in."

Phil turned to the massive group of Heartless as one of the bigger ones approached him. He slowly started backing up in fear before making a run for it and called out, "Herc, they're all yours!"

A skinny teenager came running to his aid and prepared to fight the Heartless. Spider-Man instantly recognized him anywhere. He and Wanda were fighting alongside Hercules... considering he's not as muscular he'd seen after the 'One Last Hope' montage and the remainder of the movie, he must still be in his training phase.

This was proven when he raised a fist but nearly lost balance. He quickly regained his balance and then punched the Heartless destroying it. Spider-Man aided him by webbing some of the Heartless to the ground and the two fought through the Heartless.

The two Crimson Jazz Heartless fired two fireballs at the Scarlet Witch and Sora. The former not wanting the latter to get harmed, used her hex powers to redirect the fireballs at the ground Heartless. She then threw another hex beneath the Heartless that attacked her and Sora, a jet of water sprouting out of the ground destroying them.

With the combined effort of these three heroes, the Heartless were quickly disposed of. Young Hercules turned to the two Avengers, "Was that all of them?"

Spider-Man looked around before nodding, "Yeah, I think so."

Just then, Phil returned as he began to sigh in relief, "Oy! Those wackos almost made gyros outta me!"

"Well, maybe if you didn't keep trying to show off," Hercules points out, "This is the second time this month this has happened."

"Who asked you, kid?" Phil turned to his pupil, "You'll understand more when you're older."

Hercules sighed hearing him telling him the same thing to him last time too, "Yeah, I know..."

"Yeash, we one group of monsters vanish another one just happens to take their place," Phil grumbled as he crossed his arms, "They're taking over the Games."

Sora walked up from behind the mutant woman, "What games?"

Hercules turned to Sora as he explained, "The 'Games' games. To see who's strongest! One day I'm gonna win 'em all and become a true hero."

Sora's eyes lit up with excitement, already dreaming of when he gets big, he wanted to compete and win some of these Games and be a hero like Spider-Man and the Scarlet Witch. Phill continued, "Yeah, and this year's games got more dangerous than ever, so much so, other heroes have been chickening out because of the monsters."

Hercules turned to Spider-Man and the Scarlet Witch, "You two are pretty tough. Are you guys heroes too?"

Before either of them could answer, Sora spoke up excitedly, "Of course, they are! They're Avengers! Real Super Heroes! They fought a bunch of monsters and Super-Villains and save the world all the time!"

"Wow! Really?!" Hercules beamed turning to the two Avengers, "That's incredible!"

Scarlet Witch looked down at Sora with a smile, "Leave it to Sora to get hyped up on superheroes, especially how she told him all about the Avengers the other night."

Spider-Man chuckled in amusement too, before Phil turned to them, "Hold it, it's that's true. Then how come we never heard of you before?"

Spider-Man wasn't exactly sure how'd they react to 'we're from another world where you two are fictional characters from a movie I saw as a kid' would go. It sounded crazy even to him so, he just started, "We're from far away from Greece?"

Hercules couldn't help but wonder, "How far are you talking are we about here?"

Ultimately, deciding it was for the best, as they talk about other worlds could be overwhelming, so Wanda added, "As far as you can imagine."

Thankfully, they seemed to accept this answer, Hercules then asked, "So, is that why you came all the way out here? To complete in the Games?"

"Now that ain't a bad idea," Phil smirked as he attempted to flirt with her, "So, sugarcakes, I can sign you up myself. And if you need a trainer, I'd be more than happy to put you through the ropes. You know, I've trained a few heroes in my time. Maybe I could recite ya a little epic poetry."

Hercules turned to his mentor very confused, "But Phil... I had to practically beg you to agree to train me. Why do you not have a problem training people like her and Aqua."

Phil quickly turned to his pupil and shushed him, "Shh! Pipe down, kid! You and she ain't got the same attributes if ya know what I mean."

Sora had overheard the satyr's statements, tilted his head in confusion, "Attributes? What are attributes?"

Wanda slightly pulled Sora away, fully knowing what the Satyr was actually talking about, quickly promised, "I'll tell you when you're older."

Phil looked to Sora, then to Wanda, then to Spider-Man when he groaned in defeat, "Ah, figures. All the good ones are either taken, have a kid, not interested, or all the above."

Peter and Wanda blinked in confusion before turning to each other, then to Sora then back to each other again before understanding what the satyr was saying. Their checks slowly turned red as their costumes before Wanda quickly protest, "Hold on, you think...?! Oh, no! Now you really got the wrong idea!"

"Yeah," Spider-Man nodded, mentally glad he was wearing a mask right now, "We just met and we're just friends. All of us! Not related in any way."

While Wanda nodded in agreement, she was thinking once this was all over, if they were unable to find Sora's parents, she would adopt him. She always wanted to be a mother anyway. Phil, however, took that as good news, "Really?! Then that means I still have a shot!" He then quickly added, "Of signing you up for the games! Because there are only a few spots left. So, maybe I can squeeze you and your friend in."

"Um... give us a minute," Peter thought before the three off-worlders turned to each other, "So, what do you guys think?"

"You should totally sign up!" Sora beamed in excitement, "I wanna see what you two can do!"

Wanda pointed out to the boy, "But if we both participate, who's going to watch after you if Xehanort returns."

"Oh," Sora frowned rubbing the back of his head, "Yeah... I forgot about that..."

"We really shouldn't," Spider-Man admitted, honestly we should find that crack as soon as possible before more Heartless show up for Sora."

Wanda nodded in agreement, "Or worse, Xehanort."

"Well, aren't the monsters in the Games," Sora pointed out, "What if the cracks in there?"

The heroes blinked in shock, at what Sora said, Wanda admitted, "He does have a point." She then wondered, "If that's the case then how should we handle this?"

"Okay, one of us should fight in the Games to find the crack, and whoever's not playing watches Sora close by," Spider-Man suggested.

Wanda thought about it before nodding in agreement. It made the most sense. They turned to each other and told each other, "You should go." They blinked at each other, "Wha...?"

"Hold on, you're a full-time Avenger while I'm just a Part-Timer," Spider-Man admitted, "I can keep Sora safe."

While, Scarlet Witch was well informed about all of the members of the other Avengers, active or non-active, she always wondered why Spider-Man was simply labeled as Part-Time. Whatever that meant. She tried to tell him, "Don't sell yourself short, despite what Bugle says about you, you are no less Avenger than I am. Besides, you have more experience in combat than I have, I can stay with Sora and face whatever Xehanort throws at him."

"Honestly, I did not think this where the conversation was heading," Spider-Man admitted, "I mean, at all."

"I know, part of me was thinking about arguing about going into the games," Wanda full-heartily admitted, "Not who's staying to protect Sora."

"Well," Peter turned to Sora, "Can you look at the face and not like him?"

"I don't think it's possible," Wanda smiled as the boy stared at the two Avengers, "Unless you're very much evil and heartless."

Sora placed his hands behind his head in a relaxed pose, before asking, "Well, if that's the problem. Then why not take turns?"

The two stared at the child shocked that he was coming up with all the ideas. They both turned to Phil as Peter asked, "Say if we were interested, could we switch out between matches just so one of us can keep an eye on Sora?"

"Sure, it's not uncommon for heroic couples having children without a sitter," Phil nodded, "They trade places between matches, but if even one of you is down then that's it."

Wanda and Peter turned back to each other as the former stated, "Good, let's just not too many matches at once before the switch so that we're not too exhausted to protect."

"Agreed," The Scarlet Witch turned to the satyr and Hercules, "It looks like we're in." She then introduced herself and her two companions, "I'm Wanda Maximoff, the Scarlet Witch. This is my teammate, Spider-Man. And this little one is Sora."

"Likewise," Phil told just the Scarlet Witch, "Now, let's start with a few basics..."

"Thanks," Wanda took a step away from him, "We won't need a trainer."

"Bah! Women! Never changes," Phil scoffed before turning over and heading over to the Coliseum, "So I suppose ya still want me to go and get you two signed up. Meet me in the vestibule when you're ready."

Hercules smiled at the trio, "Hey, I participating in today's games too. Maybe we'll get a match against each other."

Spider-Man waved to the young man, "Well, give it to your best in there. Good luck..." He pretended like he didn't actually know his name, "Um..."

"Oh right, I'm Hercules," The future Greek hero introduced himself, "Herc for short. And to you as well."

Wanda then turned to Peter, "Okay, so, which movie are we in."

Spider-Man answered, "Hercules."

She raised an eyebrow in confusion, before telling him, "I know who the teenager is but which film are we?"

"I just told you," Spider-Man clarified, "This was Disney's Adaption of the mythological Greek Hero: Hercules."

"Oh," The Scarlet Witch now understood. She knew the myth. She also knew an Avenger that claims to be Hercules. She then wondered, "Isn't the story of Hercules a little dark for children?"

Sora tilted his head in confusion, "Dark?"

She was now especially concerned with Sora there, she didn't want him seeing anything dark at this age. Spider-Man reassured her, "Relax. This story isn't anything like the actual original mythology. So, we should be fine." Spider-Man then thought aloud, "Then again, I don't remember these Games in the movie or the spin-off show either."

"It could be like Merlin said," Wanda pointed out, "Even if you have seen the movie, that doesn't mean the world will be exactly like the film. People could be different or there could be people we meet we never even heard of before."

"Herc seems like a nice guy," Sora admitted.

Wanda turned to Sora with a smile, "And I'm sure he is," She just turned to Spider-Man, "Just don't expect everything to be the same as the story you know."

"Fair enough," Peter nodded before gesturing to the building ahead of them, "We should probably make sure we're all signed up for these Games before the last spots are taken."

Wanda nodded as she held Sora's hand before they walked over to the Coliseum...

Meanwhile, Xehanort had tracked down Sora to this world. After losing him on the islands, he finally caught up to them just as they left Traverse Town, but not before he learned that Merlin gave them away they needed to close the cracks between the Realms of Light and Darkness. It didn't matter though, they wouldn't be able to stop him. Still, he would need some aid in getting to Sora and dealing with his opponents.

He had learned from the man in the brown cloak, his future version of himself's Heartless Sora would one day know him as Ansem had told him the future events and his part in his own future. One of those things was the villains of darkness he would use to gather the original seven Princess of Heart. With the time broken here, he could take advantage of this as well.

He had a secret meeting between himself and the Greek god of the Underworld, Hades. The said villain laughed as he mastered his control over the Heartless, "Oh, I love these little guys! They may be just the thing I need to overthrow lightning boy and give him a taste of his own medicine."

He then turned to Xehanort, "And you said they were free."

"Of course," The young Seeker of Darkness smirked, "But if you truly wish to give Zeus a taste of his own medicine, I know two warriors that meet your qualifications, all they need is a little push to the darkness but it would cost you."

Hades smirked to Pain and Panic, "I like this one. Give a little taste then offer something more." He then asked, "So, what would you like? A long-lost loved one from the dead? An army of the undead? You're own comedy show?"

"Nothing that grandeur," He reassured him, "The two warriors also are in possession of a little boy. Give him to me alive, and I will leave his guardians to you."

"Hmm… help you kidnap one a little boy and you give me his two guardians to use against Zeus, when I conquer Olympus," Hades mused to himself.

"Going once," Xehanort then stated confidently.

"Wait, would there be a downside to this? I mean, ya gotta consider all your options…"

"Going twice."

"Okay, okay, okay," Hades finally conceded, "The kid goes with you, and the two warriors belong to me. Forever. You got yourself a deal, put her there, kid."

"Do you take me for a fool, Hades," Xehanort warned him before turning away and left through a Corridor of Darkness.

"Ah well, you can't blame a guy for wanting to seal a deal like that," Hades shrugged as the Seeker of Darkness left the Underworld. He then turned to Pain and Panic, "Ah, Just think of it only about a little more than 10 years from now, and I'll have it all. The Titans, the Heartless, and a couple of powerful warriors. Should be smooth sailing for conquering Olympus. Especially his little bouncing baby boy is dead! Isn't that right boys?"

The two imps began stuttering nervously as Pain repeated what he told Hades long ago, "Oh, yes, he is most certainly dead. He drank every last drop and then we got rid of him. Right, buddy?"

Panic nodded nervously, "Cannot get any more dead than he already is! Yep! Most definitely!"

Huh? That was a bit odd for them. More than usual. Were they trying to hide something from him? He then shrugged, "Eh! No biggy." He just assumed it had to do something with Heartless before turning to the table where all the pieces of the Heartless in the Games were. Statues of Spider-Man, the Scarlet Witch, and Sora with a statue of the trainer of heroes, "Now, I just get that little boy away from my new future minions of the undead."

Phil had turned to the sign-up seats for the games. He told the two adults, "There. You two are all signed up and there's a seat for the kid and whoever watching him in the front row. Whenever you want to switch between matches just tag 'em in, and your all set. The first match begins soon so best prepare yourselves now."

He then walked into the area, most likely to give Herc a pep talk. Wanda suggested Spider-Man should go first while she got Sora settled. After that, they would trade spots during the matches. Wanda turned to him, "You up for this?"

"Not really," Spider-Man admitted, "I didn't think I would be in an area that wasn't a game again ever since..."

Dark memories came before Spider-Man, memories of guilt of how prideful and selfish he was. And it all led to the death of his Uncle Ben. Wanda whispered to him, "Spidey? Spider-Man? ...Peter!" He finally snapped back to reality, "You were in a middle of a sentence when you just stopped, are you okay?"

"I'll be fine," Spider-Man reassured her, "It's nothing."

She certainly didn't believe it was nothing. Then again, she had only met him the other day and he didn't need to say anything he wasn't comfortable talking about. She simply nodded, "Be careful out there. And be sure to tag me in. We need to make sure there's someone always watching Sora."

"Right," Peter nodded, "I'll see you soon."

With that, Spider-Man entered the arena, ready for his first match against the Heartless. Wanda turned to him in concern, he was so hyped up before when reliving these childhood films as they tried to save the universe all while protecting Sora. What changed in these first few minutes on this one? Sora tilted his head, "Is he going to be okay?"

"I hope so," Wanda admitted, "Whatever happened to him must be hard to talk about?"

Sora nodded in understanding, before asking, "So, do you think they also serve food here? I'm hungry."

Wanda's eyes widened slightly, realizing no one hasn't had anything to eat since Xehanort appeared. Thankfully, they still had some munny leftover from the other day. She gave him a small smile, "Don't worry. We'll get you something to eat before the match."

Sora smiled happily at that...

Time had passed since the games began. After Spider-Man stepped into the arena and Wanda and Sora took their seats nearby the match began. As Wall-Crawler fought the first group of Heartless, the other two off-worlders managed to get themselves a few Gyros for themselves. They even saved one for Spider-Man when he was finished with his match, much to his gratitude.

The matches weren't overwhelming to the two Avengers as they won match after match. Trade places between every few matches. Thankfully, no sign of Xehanort, and they pray to God it'd say that way.

Later in the match, Wanda came face to face with not a Heartless but a soldier with black hair that was spikier than Sora's. He drew out his sword and went into the battle stance, "Okay, third time's the charm."

Guess the poor guy must have lost two matches beforehand, she felt bad for him but she needed to seal that crack and get herself, Spider-Man, and Sora back to their world so they could protect the boy. So, she knew she had to win.

Sora was cheering her on, "Go, Miss Wanda! You've got this!"

While the eldest daughter of Magento was focused on the match, she couldn't help but smile at Sora's cheers and it seemed to hype up the crowd as well.

The mysterious soldier charged in with a battle cry as he prepared to fight the Avenger. Although, it wasn't much of a fight as he was caught by the Scarlet Witch's power before getting thrown out of the area where he landed with a thud by Spider-Man and Sora. He groaned as the crowd went wild.

Sora looked down at him as the man groaned turning to him, "Oh, hey Ven. When did you get here?"

"Huh?" Sora stared in confusion, "My name's not Ven. It's Sora."

The soldier blinked when his vision cleared to see that was the case. He blinked in shock, "Oop! Sorry, kid. Must be more out of it than I thought."

He got back to his feet as the crowd continued cheering on the Scarlet Witch as waved back to them, "Thank you! You're too kind!"

She could have sworn of the men in the crowd exclaim, "I'm in love!"

She rolled her eyes as she walked back to the crowd, she apologized to the soldier, "Sorry if I threw you too hard. I just wanted to win the match."

"It's alright," He reassured her offering a hand, "It was a good match. Even if it was one-sided. Congratulations...?"

"Wanda," She smiled and shook his hand, "This is my friend Spider-Man and the little one is Sora."

"Nice to meet you," The eighteen-year-old smiled, "The name's Zack." Just then, the match for the Semi-Finals was about to begin. He turned to Wanda, "Guess, you're up again."

Spider-Man have her a pat on the shoulder, "I've got the next one."

She nodded as Spidey left the stands. She went to sit beside Sora. She turned to the boy with a smile, "You having a good time!"

Sora nodded in agreement, "Yeah! Do heroes get to do stuff like this all the time?!"

Before she could answer, Zack spoke up to the child, "You know it, kid." She turned to her opponent in the ring in the last match, "Sorry. You mind if I stick around. I don't have anything else going on today."

"Sure," The Scarlet Witch nodded, "We don't mind."

Zack joined them in the seats himself, "So, the kid? Is he yours or..."

"No, he's not mine," Wanda frowned, "But Spidey and I are watching after him until we can find his parents."

Zack blinked before nodding, "Ah, I see..." He turned to Sora, "I hope you find your parents."

Sora smiled slightly in apperception, Wanda then turned to Zack, "So, do you wanna be a hero too?"

"Yeah, it's always been a dream of mine since I was a kid," Zack nodded before adding, "Plus I got a date with a beautiful girl when I become one." He rubbed the back of his head, "Guess I still need some work."

"Well," Wanda smiled at him, "I hope you do become one."

She could tell Zack had a good heart and did have the makings of a great hero. She just wondered who this girl he was talking about. Just then, she heard Zack say, "Is that... Oh, hey, Herc!"

Her thoughts snapped back to reality when she spotted Spider-Man's opponent. Young Hercules waved to Zack, "Oh, hey, Zack! Were you a part of the games too?!"

"I was," He admitted before gesturing to Wanda, "I lost to her."

"Oh, guess I know who my next opponent is then," Hercules turned to Spider-Man, "Wish me luck!"

Wanda turned to him in shock, "You know Hercules?"

"Oh, yeah," Zack nodded, "He's a friend. A couple of Games ago, we actually had a match together. The monsters attacked the town so we both threw the match to help a friend fight them off. Although, he was definitely faster and made up his mind quicker than me. I can imagine he's going to go the distance and be a true hero."

Wanda smiled at that as she turned her attention to the match. Spider-Man and Hercules went into their battle stances as the latter stated, "May the best hero win."

Spidey nodded to him, "Same."

With that, the match began. The two charged at each other, Herc threw the first punch but Spider-Man easily avoided it. If he was strong as he was in the movies or the Hercules on his world, Spidey knew he had to avoid those kinds of hits.

Spider-Man proceeded with a counter-attack but Hercules was able to block it. The match lasted longer than the others though as Hercules's training with Phil was paying off.

Neither hero seemed could land a blow on the other. That was until Spider-Man had an idea, when Hercules threw his next punch, the Web-Head dodged it before to his shoulders and proceeded to trap him with a thick coating of his webs. Knowing he didn't have long until Hercules broke free, so he seized the moment and kicked the trapped hero-in-training out of the ring. By the time, Hercules freed himself, the match was already over. The crowd cheered for the good match. Spider-Man helped the future true hero to his feet.

Herc smiled, "Guess I'm going need a bit more training."

"Don't take it too hard, you nearly had me a few times," Spider-Man reassured him, "You're definitely getting there."

"Thanks," Herc nodded, "That means a lot coming from a true hero like you."

Wanda, Sora, and Zack also clapped for the two. Zack turned to the mutant woman, "You're husband's pretty good."

"He's not my husband," The full-time Avenger turned back to him with a blush, "He's my boyfri... friend, who just happens to be a boy. Well, Man."

Sora tilted his head as he asked innocently, "Miss Wanda? Why is your face all red? Is that one of your superpowers too?"

Wanda groaned placing her hands on her face, hoping her blush would vanish. Sure, she wouldn't deny Peter was handsome but they just met. So, why was she a bumbling mess when people kept getting the wrong idea? Just then, a new voice spoke up, "Ah, kids. Gotta love them."

Just then, she turned to the source of the new voice to see a man with misty clothing, blue skin, yellow eyes, and blue fire for hair. Zack instantly glared at the newcomer, "Hades!"

Both Hercules and Spider-Man turned to Zack's accusation and spotted the villain of the original film, the latter stated, "Uh-oh! Trouble!"

The two quickly ran back to their friends as Scarlet Witch stood in front of Sora, ready to defend him, "Who are you?"

"What?" Hades seemed to be a little offended, "Didn't the mosquito already mention my name?"

Now, Zack was completely offended, "Stop calling me that!"

Hades didn't pay him any mind as he kept his attention on the young woman, "Anyways, Name's Hades. God of the Dead, Lord of the Underworld, your future master, yadda, yadda. How ya doin'?"

"My future master?" Wanda's eyes narrowed, "Why in God's name would I ever serve you?!"

"Well, I never said it would be willingly," Hades smirked before turning to see the last match opponents, "Ah and there's the other one insect boy and..." His eyes narrowed at Hercules, "Do I know you from somewhere?"

Hercules was about to speak, "Eh, it's probably nothing."

"What's this about Hades," Spider-Man eyes narrowed under his mask, "I mean I know your goons aren't the brightest of minions but they're yours."

"Well, an old chum of yours gave me these wonderful new lackeys," Hades smirked before snapping his fingers as Heartless appeared causing the four to say on guard before the Greek god of the dead sent them away. Hades smirked, "And seeing how I'm your final opponent in the games, I get to destroy and bring you back as my undead servants were you do, in return, he gets that little kiddo of yours."

Sora hid behind Wanda as Spider-Man along with Zack and Hercules stood in their path. It didn't take the Avengers long to figure out this was Xehanort doing. The Scarlet Witch's eyes narrowed, "Never going to happen!"

"Yeah, I'm going take a pass, I got a reserved seat in Heaven," Spider-Man quipped, "And I hate to cancel. Also, Sora's not yours to take."

"Eh," Hades shrugged, "That's for the match to decide. See on in the Finals."

Hades then vanished before them. Wanda then grabbed Sora. The boy shivered in fear, "There, there. It's going to be okay. We're not going to let him take you and we're not going anywhere."

Hercules and Zack turned to the two Avengers in confusion, as the latter wondered, "Why does Hades want with Sora?"

Phil ran up to the four of them, "Okay, you two need a serious explanation of why Hades is so interested in you and that kid of yours."

Fifteen minutes later, they regrouped at the vestibule. The two Avengers agreed to let the three natives to this world only know what they needed to know. While they didn't say a word about other worlds and that fact where they're from, they were movie characters but did mention learning that Sora would one day become a here and a man named Xehanort was an enemy that he would have. They also mentioned Xehanort was using the monsters to make sure that Sora would never become the hero who would stand up to him. Spider-Man concluded, "And that's our story."

Hercules, Zack, and Phil began to process the new information. Herc couldn't help but think to himself out loud, "Huh? I don't know why but I can't help feel like Sora's story is somewhat familiar..."

Peter might know why. If Hercules's story was exactly like the Disney film then, Hades was planning to free the Titans to take over Olympus. The Fates told Hades that he would succeed unless Hercules joined the first so he sent his minions' Pain and Panic to turn him mortal and kill him. However, since he didn't drink the last drop of the potion, he still retained his super-strength and was able to defeat the imps, even as a baby. Right now, he had a feeling Hades didn't know that the son of Zeus was still alive, and would one day foil his evil plans. Although it would be best if Herc learned it on his own, so he simply shrugged, "Huh? Really? Weird..."

"Guess Xehanort must have made a deal with Hades," Phil thought aloud, "He gets him the kid while he takes two of you to the Underworld to be a part of his undead army."

"I know all too well of what it's like to be Hades's pawn," Zack glared as he tightened his fist, he then warned the two Avengers, "Heads up, last games, Hades didn't fight Aqua one on one, he also brought a giant ice Titian with him."

"What?!" Wanda gasped in shock, "That's not fair!"

"Unfortunately, it still aligns with the rules," Phil sighed as he rubbed his forehead, "'Rule #2: Combatants may call for backup.' So, I highly recommend not trying to take him on one on one."

"That's what probably is Hades is counting on," Spider-Man realized, "While he and whatever giant monster he has deals with the two of us, Sora will be defenseless so all Xehanort or the Heartless have to do is grab him."

Hercules thought about it before his eyes lit up, "But what if he wasn't defenseless?" Everyone turned to Hercules confused, so clarified, "Hear me out, Hades expects the two of you to take him on, and leave Sora alone but what if he wasn't. Hades or Xehanort won't expect that Sora will be protected because..."

"...we will be there to protect him," Zack smirked, catching on to what Herc was suggesting.

The two Avengers and Phil turned to them shocked, as the latter pointed out, "Kid, this is going to be the real deal. You sure you two are up for this?"

"Of course," Hercules's eyes narrowed in determination, "There's no way I'm going let Hades or this Xehanort guy harm an innocent child because I'm a hero..." He then shrugged, "Or at least, going to be one."

"And don't count me out," Zack also spoke up as he performed squats, "I've got my sights of being a hero too. I don't want anything happening to Sora. Besides I have a score to settle with Hades for when he made me his pawn."

The two Avengers looked to them in gratitude, Wanda turned to the two young heroes-in-training, "Thank you, both of you."

Phil's eyes narrowed as he turned to the group of heroes ready to fight whatever Hades and Xehanort throw at them, "Then I've got two words of advice for you: Prepare! For! Anything!"

Sora started counting the actual amount of words the satyr said with his fingers, "One, two... um...?"

He turned to Wanda as he held up three fingers, she smiled and nodded to Sora that he was right as Phil went on, "We don't know what kind of monsters they'll throw at you so rest up now and remember your training. You just might be able to pull this off."

As the four heroes prepared for the upcoming battle Hercules turned to Zack, "Hey, I never asked. Why do you want to be a hero so badly?"

"Where I come from, I grew up with a learning bunch of heroes in my life," The spiky hair teenager answered, "There was one in particular named Sephoirth. He was practically a legend. Fighting monsters, ending wars, and saving lives. It inspired me to become one as well."

As she made sure that herself and Spider-Man were prepared to take on Hades, Wanda then turned to Hercules, "And what about you? Why do wish to be a hero so badly?"

"Well, you see," Herc rubbed his hand behind the back of his head, "My dad is Zeus. King of the gods of Olympus."

Little Sora and Zack turned to Hercules in shock, as the latter exclaimed, "Whoa! Herc? You're a god?!"

"No, no..." He reassured them, "I'm a mortal. When I was a baby, somebody stole me from my parents, and... figured out how to take away my godhood. My foster parents found me and took me in. I love them but all my life I've felt different from everyone else. I always try to fit in, but I can't. For the longest time, I've felt like really don't belong here. Like I'm supposed to be... someplace else."

As Hercules spoke up there was music started playing in around them as Sora and Wanda looked around. The latter asked, "Where is that coming from?"

"Right, there's a lot of Disney films out there that are musicals," Peter recalled as he stated, "So, I gotta feeling we're going to be experiencing a lot of songs and dancing."

"That's not possible," Wanda shook her head, "At least, it shouldn't be possible."

"Tell him that," Peter gestured to Hercules.

Before anyone could, Hercules started singing, "I have often dreamed~ Of a far off place~ where a great warm welcome for me~"

Wanda was amazed at of well the young man sang as the son of Zeus continued to sing, "And the crowds would cheer~ when they see my face~ And a voice keeps saying~ This is where I'm meant to be~"

"I'll find my way~ I can go the distance~" Hercules sang as getting an amazed looks all-around a Peter quietly hummed the song to himself, "I'll be there some day~ If I can be strong~I know every mile~ will be will be worth my while~ I would go most anywhere to feel like I belong~"

Wanda turned to Peter wondering if this song was on Earth. He confirmed with a nod, she then turned to Herc, "Then why not be with your family on Olympus? Why did your father never come for you?"

Herc answered, "Well that's the thing, only gods can live on Olympus. Otherwise, he and mom would have brought me back a long time ago."

Sora couldn't help but wonder, "And this true hero thing?"

"It's the only way I can restore my godhood," He answered, "If I can prove myself a true hero, here on Earth, I can finally come home where I belong."

Zack began to rub the back of his hair, "Man... you really got your work cut out for you."

Spider-Man turned to the two of them, "Hopefully, protecting Sora from Hades and Xehanort puts off to a good start."

Hercules chuckled, "Well, that's the plan. Either way, if it keeps Sora safe so he can be a hero too, one day, then I'm happy to help."

"Helping them close the crack sending out the monsters will probably help too," Zack pointed out.

Herc nodded to him, "True."

"Alright, everyone, does remember the plan?" Wanda wondered.

"I stay with Herc and Zack," Sora stated proudly, "Until the bad guys' butts are kicked."

She nodded to Sora, "Very good."

She then turned to Hercules and Zack as the latter answered, "We'll protect Sora from Xehanort and monsters. Listen to Phil if he spots a monster from a blind spot and only jump in to help you if Sora's 100% safe."

"And we'll deal with Hades and seal the crack," Spider-Man smiled as he raised a fist slightly, "So... Avengers Assemble?"

Sora, Zack, and Hercules tilted their heads in confusion, as Wanda clarified, "It's a battle cry we have, where we're from. Just take care of Sora."

The two heroes-in-training nodded as they started to head to the arena for the final match...

Later that evening, everyone went into position. Phil went to higher ground to advise the heroes. Herc and Zack stood by Sora, ready to stand in the way of any darkness that comes for the boy. Finally, the two Avengers waited for the opponent in the arena. Spider-Man looked up to Phil, "Anything yet?"

"So far nothing," Phil admitted, "If he doesn't show up soon, he'll be disqualified, and you two will be champions and hopefully the kid will be safe."

Spider-Man nodded, "Yeah, that would be a nick break, but I gotta feeling my Park Luck is going to strike again."

"You ready for this?" Wanda turned to the part-time Avenger.

"I wasn't ready to fight to fix reality," Peter admitted, "This even less. And something tells me it's only going to get stranger as the week goes on." He then turned to the small islander, "But one thing is for sure, we can't lose Sora the same way I lost Uncle Ben."

She raised an eyebrow with concern and was about to question what happened to Peter's Uncle when all of a sudden, the ground began to shake beneath their feet. Phil looked down to warn the two Avengers, and warned them, "Guys! Somethings coming your way! Something huge!"

The two Avengers turned to face the coming monster. Hercules, Sora, and Zack were on the edge of their seats seeing if they could a good look at it. All of a sudden, a massive foot with talon-like claws, as Earth's Mightiest Heroes looked up as their eyes widened in horror as they stared into the beast's eyes. Spidey groaned, "Of course, it had to be this thing."

Both mentally wished they had some heavy hitters like Thor or the Hulk right about now. The massive, dragon-like creature with dark purple scaly skin, looked down upon the two Avengers. Wanda turned to Phil, "Uh... what is that thing?"

"Two words!" Phil exclaimed as the monster let out a large roar, "AM-SCRAY!"

Hades then appeared alongside it, "What do you think of my blood-thirsty hydra?"

"Uh..." Spider-Man raised a finger, "A little overkill much?"

"Well duh!" Hades turned to him and gave him a look that asked 'are you stupid or something,' "Who do you think I am? Overkill is my jam."

From the seats in the stadium, Zack's eyes widened, "Whoa! Look at the size of that thing!"

"I wish we can go in there and help but," Hercules turned to the young boy they were looking after, "We've got other responsibilities."

Sora cheered on the Avengers, "Go, Miss Wanda and Mr. Spider-Man! Kick their ugly butts!"

"Yahoo! Go Hades!"

"You've got them, sir!"

From the other side of the arena, Pain and Panic cheered on the Greek Lord of the Underworld. They were wearing Hades merchandise as they waved their flags and held up a #1 foam finger. In fact, they were the only ones cheering Hades and the Hydra on. Pain turned to Wanda as he called out to her, "Hey, red! When that thing eats you, give me a call in the Underworld!"

Wanda wanted to gag at that comment, she'd rather kiss the goat-man... although not by much. However, she had much bigger things to worry about. Both figuratively and literally. Hades blasted her with fire while she countered his flames with her own hex. The hydra tried to get at her and tried to bite at her. Thankfully, Spider-Man pulled her out of the way. Realizing what would have happened, she nodded to him, "Thanks."

"Thank me if we survive this," Spider-Man told her as he blinded the Hydra with webbing its eyes shut. It roared in before Spidey fired two webs at the monster's head before yanking its head to the ground hard with his Spider-Strength.

Wanda used a hex to wave a fireball that was thrown at her aside. Hades smirked as he snapped out his fingers burning off the webs blinding the Hydra, "Is that all you got?"

It glared at the Avengers before going after them once again. Wanda blasted the Hydra's head away before it attacked Spider-Man before moving as it then went after her.

Meanwhile, Herc, Zack, and Sora watched from the safety of the bleachers. Each one was concerned for the lives of the two Avengers. At the same time, someone slowly approached Sora from behind. Even with the bigger battle in front of them, Herc's training with Phil overheard the sneaking up footsteps. He lightly turned to Zack. His friend's eyes narrowed as he nodded towards Herc. Just as the figure could grab Sora, both teenagers turned to attack the figure before they could grab the boy. They vanished before the two heroes in training could hit him.

Sora turned to them as they each stood in front of the boy, ready to defend him with their lives. The kidnapper reappeared on the edge of the Coliseum, revealed to be Xehanort. He smirked, "So, the heroes were smart enough to provide some protection for Sora. Hmph. No matter. You're only delaying my plans for him, one way or another, I will have him."

Xehanort snapped his fingers as Heartless appeared all around them. Hercules briefly turned to Sora, "Stay behind us. We'll protect you."

"Stay on your toes!" Phil called to them before turning back to the Avengers, "All of you!"

Zack had already stuck down two Heartless as Hercules punched through a large body. They refused to let even one Heartless get to the boy. As they held their ground, Spider-Man attempted to kick the fire hair villain only to go right through him. Hades then threw a fireball at him but he easily managed to dodge it, as he sighed to himself, "It's never that easy."

He then avoided another fireball at Spider-Man as Pain and Panic cheered their boss on. Wanda found herself firing hexes at the Hydra while trying to keep a distance from its maw. After firing off another hex at the Hydra, she turned to the crowd as her eyes widened to see Sora taking cover as Hercules and Zack defended him from Heartless. From the distance, she saw Xehanort watching from above. She glared hard at him before Phil's voice caught her attention, "Hey, sweetcakes! Above you!"

She looked up just in time to watch the Hydra's head, head straight towards her with its mouth wide open. At the last possible minute, she used a hex to stop it from consuming her. However, it wasn't giving up so easily as it pushed down harder to eat her. The Scarlet Witch started to sweat as she was doing everything she could to keep the Hydra any closer. She didn't want to die, she couldn't die, she refused to die. Sora needed her. However, she fell a knee and could smell its horrible breath and almost lost her hold over it.

Thankfully, Spider-Man kicked it away from her causing her a small break. She took a moment to breathe as she watched Spider-Man draw its attention to keep the mythical monster away from her. It roared as it tried to eat Spider-Man but he caught it by the teeth. He winced, "Phew! When was the last time you brushed at least take a mint before you try to eat me!"

Now with both Spider-Man and Sora in danger, she knew she had to quickly recover and act fast if she wanted to save them. Hades basted another blast of fire at her which she dodged before firing a hex back at him causing him to avoid it. Wanda called out to the crowd, "Zack! I need to borrow your sword for a minute!"

Zack heard this just as he sliced a Heartless in two, turned to the Scarlet Witch, and tossed her his blade, "Here!"

Wanda caught the blade before running to the Hydra's neck as she called out to the boy, "Sora! Close your eyes!"

Sora did what he was told as she raised the blade and stuck down hard. Spider-Man struggled to keep the monster back before it just stopped and its head fell to the ground with a thud and they could hear the crowd cheering loudly. He looked behind its head as his eyes widened under his mask. Wanda had sliced the Hydra's head clean off with Zack's sword before tossing it back to him, "Thanks!"

He nodded as he took back the sword and help Hercules fight off the Heartless. As she ran over to her partner as the crowd continued to cheer as Phil joined them, "All right! All right! You've got beauty and brawn!"

Sora cheered clapping his hands, "Yay! Miss Wanda wins!"

while Pain and Panic looked at Hades with nervousness. The Greek god of the Underworld didn't seem even the slightest worried as he reassured them, "Guys, guys, relax. It's only halftime."

"Alright," Wanda walked up to the Web-Head, "Now, let's take care of Hades then we can help protect Sor-"

Spider-Man exclaimed in shock and horror, cutting her off, "What did you do?!"

Now, the Scarlet Witch seemed a little offended as she glared, "Um... saved your life. I know you're not into killing but-"

"No! I mean, do you have how much you made things worse for us?" Peter pointed to the seemingly dead monster.

Wanda blinked in confusion, "Made things worse?"

"Okay, I know at some point you fought HYDRA," Spider-Man pointed out, "Remember their old say? 'If you cut off one head..."

She continued to stare in confusion until her eyes widened as she finally understood what he was saying, and truly understood how much she screwed the two of them, "...'two more shall take its place.'"

Just then, they heard movement coming from the Hydra's headless body, getting everyone's attention. Phil couldn't help but say, "That didn't sound good."

The body then rose on its feet and stuck its remaining neck into the ground. They could be heard movement coming from beneath them as Spider-Man's spider-sense went off. He grabbed Wanda, bride style, before moving just as a Hydra head popped out where they were along with two more on each side of the one. Wanda's eyes widened in horror, "THREE?!"

Phil froze in horror, "Definitely not good!"

Spider-Man set the Scarlet Witch on her feet as they prepared to face off against the three Hydra heads that looked at them. And they looked like they were hungry. Peter muttered quietly, "I don't like the way it's looking at us."

"Me neither," Wanda admitted as they began to fight off the heads. Spider-Man punched one as Wanda blasted another with a hex. Spider-Man webbed another's mouth shut as it tried to free itself from the webs. Just then, his sixth sense went off again, using his agility to dodge the fireballs from Hades. He tried webbing him up but his webs went right through him.

Realizing they were going to need help, the trainer of heroes started to think about what to do. What could he do to help them, he watched the two Avengers fighting off the monster's heads and Hades on top of that. He then turned to the Hydra's back. His eyes lit up as he started to head over to that section of the coliseum.

Hercules and Zack finished off the remaining Heartless through at them. They then turned their attention to Xehanort, who looked unimpressed. Zack turned to Herc, "You thinking what I'm thinking?"

The son of Zeus nodded, "Let's go."

Zack leaped up as Hercules caught him but the legs before he spun the soldier around and threw him at the man in black. Zack roared out a battle cry as he prepared to strike down the villain. Xehanort raised a hand and summoned a Keyblade to block the strike. Zack glared at Xehanort as the latter commented, "Of all of the Guardians of Light's friends and allies I had been told about, I haven't heard much about you."

He then threw Zack off of him back to the ground, thankfully, the hero-in-training landed on his feet. Unfortunately, he landed in the arena, where one of the heads took notice of him. He quickly realized this as he moved out of the way just in time as the head struck. Xehanort then called from below, "Hades! Remember our bargain!"

Hades turned to Xehanort then to both Hercules and Sora, before smirking. He then vanished from the fight and appeared in the stadium. Herc came to Sora in defense before flicking the former aside. He turned to his sights on Sora, "I have no idea what Silver wants with you but hey, as long as I get your guardians as a part of my army, I could care could less, shorty."

However, before he could grab him, Hercules punched Hades in the face knocking him back into the arena. Hades looked slightly irritated at the young hero in training. Zack noticed to Greek god was back and dodged a Hydra head before running at him with his sword in hand, "It's payback time, Hades!"

"Oh vey," Hades rolled his eyes at Zack, "I just never seemed to have that mosquito replant around when I need it."

Zack roared in anger as he raised his blade only for Hades to vanish and reappear behind him and flicked him into the wall. As soon as Zack recovered more Heartless appeared beside Hades and surrounded the two heroes-in-training and Sora. Xehanort smirked at that as he put away his Keyblade with a flash of light.

One of the Hydra's heads broke free of Spider-Man's webbing as it roared in anger. Spider-Man and Wanda turned to see Hades focused on Sora's last line of defense. Wanda turned to Peter, "We've got to finish this thing so we can help them!"

"I'm opened to suggestions," Spider-Man admitted as the avoided the bites of the Hydra.

"Hey, Spidey! Sweetcakes!" They heard Phil call out to them. They turned to the satyr as he gestured to Hydra's body, "Get up on the Hydra's back!"

The Scarlet Witch held two of the Hydra's heads back with her hexes as she told Spider-Man, "Go! I'll be fine on my own for a little bit!"

He nodded as he began to swing past the Hydra heads. When Phil saw that Spider-Man was in range, he lift a large size vase and threw it over. Seeing what he was planning, Spider-Man shot a web at the vase and spun it around as fast as he could before throwing it on the Hydra's back stunning the heads. Spider-Man gave the trainer of heroes a thumbs up as he ran back to Wanda.

The mutant woman wanted to finish this quickly, so her hand began to glow red with her power before slamming it on the ground. The hole beneath them crumbled and broke off their necks as the three heads fell to the ground. Wanda sighed in relief, thinking the Hydra was finally dead. When all of a sudden movement came from the Hydra's body. It rose from the ground with nine heads to replace the three fallen ones. Both Avengers stared at the horror they now had to face before the part-timer turned to Wanda. All she had to say for herself was, "Oops."

Phil couldn't help but exclaim, "Will you forget the head slicing thing?!"

Pain and Panic couldn't help but cheer for Hades and the Hydra. Panic turned to holding his beverage and waving his Team Hades flag, "You know, this is going so my better than I thought it would."

"I know," Pain smiled raising his #1 foam finger as his partner in crime took a ship of his drink, "I don't see how it can possibly turn around on us."

Spider-Man had grabbed Wanda's bride style as he carried her and himself out of reach of the monster's heads. Hades couldn't help but smirk at his handy work as he turned to his current job, only to be dumbfounded as the two heroes-in-training managed to defeat the last of the next wave of Heartless before turning to face him while guarding Sora. Hades snarled, "Okay, you are starting to get on my nerves!" His blue flames briefly turned orange before gesturing to Hercules as he demanded, "Just who do you think you are?!"

"I'm Hercules," The future true hero proudly stated, "Future hero and I'm not letting you anywhere near Sora!"

For the first time in his afterlife, Hades froze in shock. Pain and Panic also seemed to recognize the same as they stopped cheering as the latter wondered, "Hercules. Why does that name ring a bell?"

"I don't know," Pain admitted he started eating a handful of popcorn before suggesting, "Maybe we owe him munny?"

Hades then exclaimed loudly, "OKAY! TIME OUT!"

Just then, everyone went silent, even the Hydra, as the Avengers were previously trying to hold back the heads but stopped to turn to Hades. He then looked to Herc with a glare, "Now... What was that name, again?"

"Um... Hercules," The son of Zeus raised an eyebrow not noticing Hades's anger as his fire hair turned bright orange as he turned to the two who were supposed to deal with Zeus's bouncing baby boy long ago. Herc went on, "Hero-in-training?"

Sora turned to Zack confused, "Um... why is the fireman doesn't like that name, Hercules."

The other hero-in-training shrugged, "How should I know? All he said was that his name is Hercules."

That's when Pain remembered as he turned to Panic, "Wait a minute. Wasn't Hercules the name of that kid we were supposed to..." That's when Panic remembered and more importantly, Hades knew the truth as they turned to him. Their eyes widened in horror as they both exclaimed, "Oh my gods!" Hades stretched out his smoky hands towards them as they ditched the merchandise and tried to escape, "Run for it!"

However, Hades grabbed them by their tails and pulled them into the arena towards him. He growled, "So you took care of him, huh?! Dead as a doornail!" Once close enough he grabbed them both by the throats, "Weren't those your exact words?!"

Pain tried to come up with an excuse, "Now hold on! He might be a different Hercules!"

"Yeah! I mean, Hercules is a..." Panic nodded in agreement before Hades tightened his grip making the imp chock out, "...very popular name nowadays!"

Pain tried to come up with an example to Panic's excuse, "Remember, like, a few years ago, every other boy was named Jason, and the girls were all named Brittany?"

However, their boss could see clearly through their lies, "We're about to rearrange the cosmos..." He then threw them on the ground as they turned into cockroaches to survive Hades's wrath, "...and the one SCHLEMIEL who can louse it up... IS WALTZING AROUND IN THE WORLD!"

He then burst into flames burning everything around him, Hercules and Zack forced Sora to duck and nearly avoided the flames. Once, Hades blew out his anger, Pain called out in his cockroach form before turning back to his true form, "We can still cut in on his waltzing."

"That's right," Panic recalled as he turned back to his true form, "And-And at least we made him mortal. That's a good thing." He then turned to Pain, "Didn't we?"

The imp nodded in agreement, as Hades thought for a moment before smirking, "Well... in that case..." He then called out to the Hydra, "HEY YOU! FORGET THOSE TWO!" All Hydra heads turned him then back to the two Avengers then back to Hades again, even if once to lick Wanda much to her disgust. Hades then pointed to Hercules, "GET HIM!"

Doing what its master commanded the Hydra turned away from the Avengers and turned to Hercules. Zack couldn't help but comment, "Oh, that's not good."

"Oh, yeah," Herc fully nodded in agreement before telling him, "Get Sora away, I'll try to distract it."

Zack nodded as he put his sword away and grabbed Sora and carried him to safety while Hercules ran in the opposite direction. The Hydra pursued Hercules but left Zack and Sora be for now. Wanda whipped the slim off of her, "That was disgusting."

They then spotted Zack running over to them with Sora, "Guys, I don't know what's Hades's beef with Herc, but he's keeping that monster busy."

Wanda gladly took Sora back as she comforted him, "At least, Sora's safe for the moment."

"Although, we should probably find a way to stop that thing before it destroys the coliseum," Spider-Man pointed out as the Hydra continued to pressure the son of Zeus, as he added, "And eats Herc."

"Right," Wanda nodded before wondering, "Now how do we do that? We didn't have much luck before."

"Um... Give me a minute," Peter rubbed his chin as he began to think as he looked around the arena.

He spotted Herc throwing a boulder at it to keep at bay but it didn't last long as Zack commented, "Herc doesn't exactly have a minute!"

He then turned to Hades who was grinning hard. Spider-Man then snapped his fingers, "I've got it! Leave it to me! Wanda when that thing is down! We're going to need your help with Hades. Zack..."

"I'll stay and protect Sora in case Xehanort tries anything," The spiky-haired young adult gave the superheroes a thumbs up, "Got it!"

The daughter of Magento turned to him in concern, "What exactly is your plan?"

Spider-Man then started web swing towards the Hercules and the Hydra, "You'll see! You'll know when to join the fight!"

As they watched Spidey swing to aid Hercules, Sora turned to Wanda, "Are they gonna be okay?"

"I hope so, sweetie," Wanda admitted concern for her new friend.

Just as the Hydra was about to catch up to Hercules, Spider-Man got him away in the nick of time. Herc then turned to the Avenger, "Spidey! I think it was Hades that stole my immortality but I don't have a clue why he wants me dead so badly!"

"Probably the same reason, Xehanort wants Sora so badly," Spidey 'guessed' as he kept his distance from the Hydra, "Which gives me an idea how to stop the Hydra."

Herc turned to him, "Really? How?" Spidey quickly whispered the plan to Herc before he blinked for a moment, "Really? You think it'll work?"

"Well, he really doesn't like you, and annoying the heck out of bad guys is my specialty," Spider-Man admitted, before thinking back to the movie, "Otherwise, I don't think nothing short of landsides going to stop that thing."

"Right," Herc nodded with determination, "Let's do it."

After getting a good distance away from the Hydra, they landed right between the monster and Hercules. Hades snarled in anger, "Why won't you just die already?"

"Awe," Spidey smirked under his mask, "Is the 'Lord' of the Underworld losing his touch?"

"Yeah," Herc smiled as he joined in, "If you couldn't kill me as a baby then I highly doubt you can destroy me now."

Hades's eyebrow began to twitch, "What did you just say?!"

"Uh-oh..." Panic whispered as he and Pain slowly backed away, turned into cockroaches, and made a dash as far away from the Coliseum as possible.

"I mean are those flames just for show," Spider-Man continued to quip, "I bet you can't even light a candle."

"How'd you end up ruling the Underworld anyway," Herc smirked even as the Hydra started to catch up to them, "Was it because you couldn't do any other job on Olympus?"

Hades started turning red as his flames slowly began to rise, Spidey continued, "Man, I bet the parties he throws are so boring, everyone tries to find a way to keep booking the dates to stay away."

Herc raised a finger, "Even the dead."

"That's it!" Hades finally lost it, "You're going to regret the days you were born!"

Hades threw the largest ball of fire at the two of them. Peter told Herc, "Move!"

They moved out of the way, just in time, but the Hydra wasn't so lucky. The only thing it could do is stare into the ball of fire as all of its heads' eyes widened in horror before the flames consumed the beast. When the flames died down, the only thing that remained of the monster was its feet. Hades blinked in shock, did they just trick him into killing his own monster?

From a distance, Scarlet Witch, Zack, and Sora all witnessed what happened. Zack couldn't help but comment, "That was actually a pretty good plan."

"Yeah," Wanda nodded in agreement, "Now, it's just him and Xehanort." She then handed Sora to Zack as she told the former, "Stay with Zack. I'm going to help them."

Hades continued looking dumbfounded as Spidey continued mocking him, "Sucker!"

Hades glared at both Spider-Man and Hercules, he was about to attack them yet again, when he was stuck in the back by Wanda's hexes. Hades groaned before glaring at her as she glared back with her hands glowing red. The two Heroes and Hercules surrounded him on all sides. Hades burst into flames trying to destroy all three of his enemies in the arena, "BURN!"

They avoided the flames as Wanda blasted him with another hex, stopping the villain's attack. Spider-Man and Hercules then began throwing punches at Herc's evil Uncle. The crowd cheered them as Hades grunted in pain from every punch. Hades's eyes narrowed in anger before bursting into flames again as the three pulled back. Herc's eyes widened, "We're actually hurting him. How are we hurting him?"

"If I had to guess," Spider-Man assumed, "He's probably strongest in the Underworld, it's why he brought in Hydra for backup. Up here, he's robbed of that advantage."

"He may be immortal," Wanda smirked, "But that doesn't mean he can't be beaten."

Hercules's eyes narrowed with determination, "Then let's win this thing!"

Phil cheered on his pupil, "Atta boy, champ! Send that loser back to the Underworld where he belongs!"

Zack also cheered, "You three got this!"

Hades's eyes narrowed at the three of them, Hercules in particular, "YOU CAN'T STOP THIS! I PUT YEARS INTO MY PLANS TO OVERTHROW YOUR OLD MAN AND I WON'T LET YOU RUIN THEM!"

"I don't know what you have against my father or me, but now," Herc then vowed, "Whatever it is you are planning when I become a True Hero, I'll never let you win!"

Hades then growled loudly as he prepared for his next attack. Sora cheered on the three, "Avengers Assemble!"

The Lord of the dead blasted fire at the three of them as Wanda blasted him with her powers. The two powerhouses clashed against one another, each one trying to overpower the other. Wanda's eyes narrowed with determination and pushed harder. All of a sudden, the Omega Mutant's powers prevailed overpowering Hades, knocking him back. While he was stunned, Spider-Man and Hercules moved in. The forming blinded him with his webbing, making him struggle to remove it from his eyes. Spidey then gave Herc a boost and threw him Hades. The hero-in-training reared his fist back as he finally removed the webbing. His eyes widened seeing Hercules. He could see his nephew coming throwing a fist, but before he even got a chance to avoid it, the fist made contact with his face. The punch landed so hard it knocked Hades flying separating something of him. The crack in reality. This one was much bigger than the one they used in Traverse Town.

Hades groaned as he slowly picked himself up before his eyes narrowed as he vowed, "This... isn't... over..."

He then vanished from the arena. With the Hydra dead and Hades gone. Scarlet Witch and Spider-Man were champions of the Games. The crowds cheered for them as Phil, Zack, and Sora joined them. The boy ran up to the two Avengers, "You did it! You beat them!"

Wanda giggled as she pulled Sora into a hug. Spider-Man turned to Zack, "What about Xehanort?'

Zack then pointed over where the Hydra last stood, "Over there!"

The seven turned to the dark Keyblade Weilder, who was slowly clapping for them, "Well, done. You survived our first clash. I should have known the 'Lord of the Underworld' wouldn't be able to pull this off. However, this war for Sora's destiny... has only just begun."

He then vanished through a Corridor of Darkness leaving them be... for now. They then turned to the crack in reality. Herc then assumed, "So, this thing is responsible for all the new monsters?"

"And it's our path forward," Wanda confirmed as she turned to Phil, "Do you have it?"

The trainer of heroes handed them the backpack full of Reality Orbs, "You sure these things will close that thing?"

"Only one way to find out," Peter admitted before turning their new friends, "But this also means goodbye, we've got to keep moving and close these things until Sora's safely back home."

"Is there anything we can do to help," Zack asked two of Earth's Mightiest Heroes.

Spider-Man nodded, "Keep training. Even with Hades defeated and even if we do stop Xehanort, I'll have no doubt they'll be back to try again. The world needs new heroes like you if they're going to be stopped."

Zack and Herc smiled and nodded to them. Phil then turned to the two Avengers, "Well, before you leave. There's one more thing before you go." They turned to satyr confused before he handed them a large trophy, "Here. You both earned this."

"Hey, that's right!" Zack realized, "You two are the champs!"

Peter took the trophy and he stared at it, as the crowd cheered and threw flowers and confetti at them. Sora stared in awe as Peter decided to hand over the trophy to Hercules, "Hold on to this for us will you?"

Herc blinked in shock, "Wha... me?"

"Yeah, I don't really see myself carrying this empty cup everywhere during the journey home," Peter smirked under his mask, "This little guy's a handful enough as it is. Besides, this is just as much your victory as it is ours."

"Wow," Herc accepted the trophy as he rubbed the back of his head, "I-I don't know what to say?"

"Oh, and here's some advice for the two of you," Spider-Man told the two heroes in training, "Remember, being a hero isn't about the fame or fortune. I learned that the hard way long ago, don't ever make the same mistake I did. With great power, comes great responsibility."

Wanda turned to Peter in shock and amazement by this understanding. Herc looked into the eyes behind Peter's mask before nodding. Zack did the same. Herc added, "So, think you three will come back to visit?"

"Of course," Wanda smiled, "Maybe we can bring some of our other friends within the Avengers next time, and Sora will probably be in need of training to be a hero himself."

"Hey, when the kid is big enough and Herc becomes a full-grown hero," Phil smiled, "I'd be happy to take him on."

Sora beamed, "Really?"

Phil nodded as Herc smiled, "Let's both grow into the heroes that will always stand up to people like Hades and Xehanort."

The two young heroes smiled as they locked hands, unknowingly would be doing it again in the distant future when they both start making a name for themselves, after letting go. Zack waved to Sora, "See you later!"

As they said their goodbyes as they turned to face the crack. Peter picked up one of the Reality Orbs that the wizard, Merlin, gave to them and tossed in the crack. The crake light of brightly from the power of the orb. Before it began to close, Wanda began to use her power as Merlin showed her into the crack. Her power spread to herself, Spider-Man, and Sora before they walked through the portal before they vanished from the eyes of the others. The crack sealed itself as the crowd continued to cheer. Herc stared at the trophy proudly, as he sang to himself, "I am on my way~"

"I can go the distance~" He sang after everyone had left to train for the next games, "I don't care how far~ Somehow I'll be strong~"

Phil continued to drill the routine of what it took to be a hero into his head as Herc continued, "I know every mile~ Will be worth my while~ I will go almost anywhere to find where I belong~"

He briefly took to Mount Olympus as he recalled what he learned from all his new friends, "When I go the distance I'll be right! Where! I! Beeeeelooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnngggggggg~"

Zack smirked as he watched his friend train to be a hero and he began thinking of ideas of how he was going to train to be a hero as well...

Meanwhile, in the Underworld, Hades growled at the image of Hercules on his table, "I can't believe that little sunspot of Zeus is still around!" He then pointed an accusing finger at Pain and Panic, who were shivering with fear, "And it's because you two not only didn't finish the job but you also kept quiet about it for all these years!"

They narrowly avoided the blast of fire coming to form Hades before he calmed himself down. He sighed, "Okay, okay... there's still plenty of time before the planet's alignment, I just need to find the perfect monster to destroy him. He can't win every battle."

Just then a Corridor of Darkness opened in the Underworld, he groaned, "Oh, now what?!"

From the dark portal, a horn cloaked woman exited the portal holding a staff on her side and a large cat came in beside her. The woman smirked, "Greetings, Hades. I am Maleficent. I believe I have a solution that should benefit us both. If we succeed, this world will not just be ours for the taking but every world in existence."

Hades's raised an eyebrow with interest, "Go on. I'm listening."

Maleficent smirked as she began to explain her plan to the Greek god of the Underworld...

And that will conclude today's chapter. Okay, that chapter was much shorter and easier to write than my take on Olympus Coliseum. Did you like all the nods in this chapter. Did you notice the references to the future Kingdom Hearts games? I'm sure you at least know about how Hades ends up in Maleficent's group in KH1.

Well, that's one big crack in reality down and five to go before they reach their own world. But what of the heroes on Earth? What have they been up to since Spidey and Wanda ended up here? I might show a little of that in the next chapter.

As for the preview of the next chapter; our heroes enter the next world but everything seems so big compared to their size. The size of mice for that matter but their journey will become a whole lot bigger as they take on this world's greatest criminal mind with the help of this worlds greatest detective but will be enough to stop what the rat's cooking up. With Xehanort's help with the Heartless? Stay tuned. I hope you enjoyed the chapter, be sure to leave a review. Also, if you haven't already be sure to follow and fav. as well. See ya real soon!
