Hello once again, FINALLY I have finished this next chapter for four hearts. First off I am sorry about the wait, I've just been busy with a lot lately and didn't have as much time to write the chapter as quickly. Second I tried to go with the movie as well as I could but I did have to change somethings for story wise sakes. Third I hope most of the spelling errors have been corrected along and I also hope that I worded it well enough that it will be easy to read. This is the longest chapter and I just really hope you all enjoy it as much I enjoyed writing up this chapter. Now with that all out of the way one last thing to say, I did skip on scene of the movie which was just the love scene between Meg and Hercules but it's mentioned as it does happen just not with any of characters around at that time in the story.

Four Hearts of one Journey Ch.5: Worlds of the Gods Pt.3-Final
"Where in the world could that screaming be coming from?!" Blake asked in annoyance since the thick trees in the forest below her and the rest we're echoing the woman's screams, making it difficult for the group to find the exact location
"We have to keep looking, she sounds like she being attacked!" Hercules replies back in a slight panic
"Hercules calm yourself, panicking won't help." Guin said calmly as he knew Hercules would get sloppy if he panicked
"Yeah don't panic so much, we'll find and save the girl I mean that's what hero's do!" Ruby added in happily as Hercules nodded in appreciation
"Still I personally wish we could have an easier time finding where this is all happing, ugh stupid trees." Weiss said next in much annoyance with the situation, but without warning three trees flew up from the ground like they had been throw and were heading straight towards the group
"DODGE!" Yang yelled out in shock as Lara, Rita and Pegasus all did aerial barrel rolls to dodge, thankfully the others all we're able to hang onto their flying mounts without any issues…. Mostly
"Ugh…Rita remind us next time you do that…I think I'm going to be sick." Dante said as he looked a little green in the face while Rita just snicker a little
"Dante we do barrel rolls all the time in the ship." Ikail replied with an amused look on her face
"Got to agree with Dante here…little monster were on was enjoying this." Donald added in looking a little green in the face as well
"Ditto!" Phil said out loud as he was looking green in the face as well while Pegasus, Hercules, Ikail, the girls, Rita and Lara laughed a little
"Gawrsh, um shouldn't we be trying to help out the girl now?" Goofy said which brought the other back to their serious faces
"You right, no time to get distracted. Thanks Goofy." Ruby said as she nodded to Goofy who nodded back in appreciation
"Look the trees that we're ripped out left a clear space of land to see, we should take to the grounds and investigate further." Blake suggested
"But we don't know if the girl is even down there?" Guin replied back which did bring up a good point to the other until they heard the same scream s before. But this time the scream was louder and clearer to hear from the newly revealed landscape below
"I think we just got our answer, come on let's get a move on!" Phil yelled out as Rita, Lara and Pegasus descended down to the land scape. Once landed the group demounted to get a good look around their surroundings which only showed rows of ever going trees and bushes
"Wow pretty, but where do we start looking?" Weiss asked but only for Ruby to poke her arm and point to the right of them showing a trail of destroyed trees
"And you're supposed to be our most perspective one of the team Weiss?" Yang joked with a wide grin
"Yang be nice, Weiss can't notice everything all the time." Ruby said in Weiss defense which made the Weiss blush a little while Yang just giggle for a moment and smiled back at her sister
"I know Ruby, just giving Weis here a hard time. But we should get going that girls isn't going to save herself you know." Yang replied back as she turned her attention over to Hercules "Hey big guy lead that way okay, I mean you are the inspiring hero here so you should take the lead."
"Well then I will, thanks Yang." Hercules said with a smile as he made his way up to the front of the group. He then through the trail of broken trees along with the others as the screams of the woman could be heard getting louder.
-Traverse Town: First district-
"So Mira how are you enjoying Traverse town so far?" Glynda asked as she, Aerith and Yuffie were walking around the first district to get some fresh air along with getting some girl time with their newest town's member
"I….I find it very lively and also happy, much different from the hunters dream." Mira replied back as she looked around wearing a new attire that the three women picked out for her so she could look more modern. Her new attire consisted of black long sleeved shirt, two black lacked fingerless gloves, a tan long skirt, a pair of black buckled high heeled boots and she did not wear any head wear now leaving her short tied hair out in the open. All in all Mira's new attire was simple yet stunning at the same time, though the doll did ask to keep her old garments in a chest just for back up's
"Well that's good to hear, most have a hard time dealing with the fact that their home world was taken by the heartless." Aerith said with a small frown but was happy Mira was taking a liking to the town
"That is true, but I don't feel much emotions to be honest. I am a doll as I had told you all before, which makes me incapable to feel much." Mira said with no hint of sadness in her tone which made Glynda, Yuffie and Aerith frown in pity for the girl, sure she was a doll in technically but to the others she had already proven she was much more human. This only made it sadder when Mira said she couldn't feel most emotions but that actually brought up a question that they wanted to ask now.
"Wait a minute Mira, I want to ask and I'm sure the Yuffie and Aerith do to but if you can't feel most emotions…then what are the ones you can feel?" Glynda asked as Aerith and Yuffie nodded their head in agreement with Glynda's question
"Love, I can experience the feeling of love but that's is the only feeling I really have ever had since my creation." Mira replied back making the girls smile that it was a positive feeling she could experience but that only brought up another question
"Okay so you can feel love that's good, but why only love. I not trying to sound mean to you along with whoever created you but wouldn't giving you all the emotions be better?" Yuffie asked with a slight frown at the revelation
"Yeah I have to wonder that as well, I mean every emotion has its use and only having just one isn't what I would say would be healthy for anyone." Glynda added in with concern
"The only reason I know is because I was to be shoulder to lean on for the hunters back in my world. When they would come into the dream whether it be by a lamp light or by death, they would always need someone to let their worries, anger and sorrows' out on. Gehrman the man who created me knew he was unable to be that shoulder so he created me, a doll that could be that shoulder, a doll that would love the hunters no matter what. I do wonder at times if there were other reasons why he created me but I never asked." Mira explained as she took a quick breath not remembering that last time or really any time she had spoken so much in one whole sentence
"I see… I guess that would make sense with the way your world was before the heartless came." Glynda said with a hint of sorrow in her tone as she remembered when Mira first explained to her and the others about her world from the vile bloods, the death of a city called Yahrman, the need of hunters to slay the man beast and the all-around horrid situation her world had been in. The concept of hunters in Mira's world made Glynda thankful none of the students at beacon would ever have to face that
"Yes that is really the only reason I can think of my need for only the feeling of love. It's funny I love you all as well already even though we have only met. But it's ironic as well, I can feel love but I myself do not understand the emotion itself…. I guess that's why I am only a doll and not a real person." Mira said with no sense of sadness in her tone
"Mira I think your wrong on that last part." Yuffie said much to Mira's and the other's confusion
"What do mean by that Yuffie, I do not understand what you are trying to say?" Mira asked with a slightly raised eyebrow
"What I mean is that…look maybe you don't bleed like we do, you made of wood instead of flesh. But that's not what makes you truly alive, what makes you truly alive is how you act with others and Mira you been acting just like any other person here. You are already alive, you just need time to fully see it." Yuffie said in a serious but sincere tone
"Wow Yuffie, I've never heard you speak like that." Aerith said with a smile
"Yeah well don't tell anyone okay, I got a reputation to keep." Yuffie replied back with a slight blush of embarrassment but a smile as well
"I guess you do Yuffie still that was very kind of you to say." Glynda added in with a smirk before turning her attention back over to Mira "Now would you like us to show you around some more before we head back to the motel?"
"I….yes that would be much appreciated, thank you." Mira answered
"No problem, ladies lets continued with our little tour." Glynda said happily as she, Aerith, Yuffie and Mira resumed their little tour
"I guess it won't so bad here…I'm glad." Mira muttered to herself and for the second time in her life formed a small smile which shocked the girl herself for a second making her stop in her tracks
"Mira what's wrong?" Aerith asked with concern, snapping Mira out of her daze
"I just thought I heard something, please let us continue." Mira replied back making Glynda, Aerith and Yuffie looked at each other for a few seconds before shrugging and yet again resuming their walk –"Maybe this won't be so bad at all, I actually feel happy….I'm glad I feeling this and I'm glad to have made a few new….friends."- she thought to herself knowing that maybe this would change her for the better in the end, maybe this is what she needed all along to become more human…
-Meanwhile back with the group-
"I think we're getting closer!" Hercules yelled out as he and others had been running through the trail of destroyed forest for a few minutes and the screams of the woman we're becoming much louder
"We are indeed, but we should take caution as we don't know what we shall be facing off against." Guin said as he readied his blade, while Ikail pulled out her light saber, Dante pulled out his scythe, Donald and Goody pulled out their wand and shield, Hercules keeping his hand on the hilt of his sword, Pegasus, Lara and Rita ready to fight as well while carrying Phil who was somehow sharping his horns with a rock, lastly the girls summon their keyblades. As the whole group finally made it out of the trail of broken forests they stumbled upon a clear grass land with a few trees and bushes growing around a large water fall.
"Wow so pretty." Ruby said happily
"Got to admit it is, but where's the-" Hercules replied back but before he could finish the rest of his sentence a large creature came out from the side landing in the water. The creature was blue skinned, had a horse body for its legs, was very muscular, had long black hair with a comb over on top and had a very gruff looking face with yellow eyes.
"It's a Centar, haven't seen one of them around this area in a while." Phil said with slight caution in his tone
"Okay cool, but where's the-" Ikail said trying to get back to the task at hand but was cut off when she along with the other's heard a woman begin to yell
"UGH LET ME GO, HOW MANY TIME CAN I SAY NO BEFORE YOU TAKE A HINT!" Yelled the woman who had fair peach skin, violet eyes, brown hair, wore a pink toga and wore red sandals she was pretty stunning to say the least
"Oh keep talking I like them fiery." Said the Centar with a smug smile as the girl tried to squirm away making the group ticked off at the beast, especially Hercules
"Okay look I know you all probably ticked off now, but I got to ask you to let Hercules take this himself." Phil said as the other nodded "Good now kid…wait where did he…oh no…" he said in a panic as he and the other noticed the Hercules was walked straight to the Centar
"We have to help him!" Ruby said as she was about to charge only to be stopped by Weiss
"No Ruby, look I want to help as well but unlike us this will Hercules first real test. We'll only intervene if he can't handle it, but I'm sure he can so please just let him okay." Weiss explained with a small smile making Ruby's heart start racing
"O-Okay then Weiss, since you e-explained it I'll let him handle it on his own…thanks." Ruby said with a slight blush now making Weiss's heart being to race
"N-no problem Ruby." Weiss replied back but both girls were in interrupted in their moment when they heard a loud thud against the a rock wall to see Hercules was in the small crater and getting back up
"The heck happened?!" Ruby and Weiss yelled out in surprise
"You two just missed Hercules failed peace negotiations, honesty I was hoping it would go better than that." Blake said with a frown
"Centar aren't the most reasonable creatures, but luckily Hercules can take the hit." Phil said with a hint of concern but also pride as well in his tone only for him and the other's to wince when Hercules once again was flung to the wall
"Maybe we should help him now…" Blake suggested with a worried tone
"Hey don't be doubting the kid just yet." Phil replied back only to hear the Centar scream in fear as the group looked to see Hercules had actually hit the house man so hard that it sent him flying to who knows where. Hercules then walks back to the group holding the woman in his arms
"See….I….had it under control." Hercules said with a small smile while the woman began to squirm a little
"Hey big guy if you don't mind could you let me down now, I have legs of my own you know." The woman said with a slight annoyed tone as Hercules set her back down on her feet
"Jeez lady that's some thank you." Yang muttered a little irritated with the woman's treatment of Hercules who was the guy who just saved her. The other females in the group gave the woman a slight glare as well also annoyed with her current attitude
"Um what did that Centar want with you anyways?" Hercules asked as the woman just sighed for a moment before answering
"Well you know how men can be, I say no and to them it sounds like 'Take me I am all yours'." The woman answered as she moved her face close to Hercules with a smile to empathies her point but this made Hercules smile awkwardly at her from the short distance between their faces
"I think our little Hercules just found himself a crush." Yang whisper to Blake who giggled a little
"What would your name be miss?" Dante asked
"Well since you asked so nicely, my name is Megara but my friend call me Meg. Well at least they would if I had any, but my question is what are you all doing in this forest yourselves?" Meg asked with a smirk
"We were just heading over to Thebes to help out our friend Hercules here." Goofy answered
"Oh I see, so this cutie here that saved me would be Hercules?" Meg asked with a playful tone as Hercules began to sweet a little much to the slight amusement of the others
"Well…I….I am….yeah that, I mean yeah my friends here are you know…helping me out." Hercules answered nervously making Phil face palm himself, the men to envy the poor boy and the girls to giggle a little more now
"Are you always this articulate?" Meg asked with a wider smirk
"Well um no, I MEAN YEAH…wait never mind, look I'm just glad I was able to save you is all." Hercules said getting his confidence back up
"I am too, look it's been a good one Hercs but I got to get going." Meg said as she did a quick wave goodbye
"WAIT!" Hercules said making Meg stop for a moment and turn around "Um, can we give you a ride?" he asked pointing to Pegasus, Lara and Rita who all looked at one another before climbing up the tree above them all
"Huh guess you're Pinto and fire breathers don't like me." Meg replied back a little amused for some reason
"What of course they do, so how about it would you-" Hercules replied back with a wide smile now but only for Pegasus to hit him on the head with an apple while Rita and Lara growled laughed
"Pegasus that was mean of you to do" Ruby said scolding Pegasus before Turing her sites on the dragons "And you two should be nicer as well, that's not nice to laugh at other's pain." She said making the three mounts kind of have looks of guilt on their faces
"I never thought I would see the day when a Pegasus and two dragons would listen to Ruby, a girl smaller than them. Then again I did expect any of this either." Weiss said as she remembered that their current situation was also something she never though would be happen
"I'll be alright, I'm big tough girl. I tie my own sandals and everything." Meg said with a playful smirk as she lightly punch a love struck Hercules arm, then she turned around and began to make her way deeper in to forest "Bye, bye wonder boy." She said before disappearing from sight
"Bye…" Hercules said with a smile as the other's all looked smirk at his love struck antics expect for Phil who was getting annoyed by the minuet." Wow she's something, isn't she Phil?"
"Oh yeah she's something alright…" Phil said before taking a deep breath
"Get ready for a yelling children." Guin said as he and the other covered their ears within seconds
"SHE A REAL PAIN IN THE PATELLA!" Phil yelled out before calming himself down and climbing on Hercules Back trying to snap him out of his love trance "Hey ah... any of you want to help?"
"Let me Phil." Guin said as he walked up next to Hercules then applied a solid smack to the back of the head
"Ow what was that for and why's Phil on my back?" Hercules said as he rubbed the back of his head
"Alright now that we got ya back to senses, come on we got to get going. You remember we all have a job to do?" Phil said as he climbed back on Pegasus
"I guess so." Hercules said as he climbed on Pegasus now but looked back to where Meg had left a little worried about her
"Hey don't worry dude, she'll be fine." Yang said with a smile as she and the girls climbed back onto Rita
"True, still I can't help but get the feeling something is off about her." Donald said as he, Goofy, Ikail, Dante and Guin climbed on Lara
"Gawrsh Donald what do mean by that?" Goofy asked with a raised eyebrow
"Hm….can't say really, must have been my imagination." Donald said dismissing his uneasy feeling around Meg
"Hey Phil how much longer anyways before we make it to Thebes?" Blake asked out of blue
"Not much longer, we should be arriving there in about half an hour or so. We're wasting day light though talking about this, come on let's get a move on." Phil replied back as Pegasus, Lara and Rita lifted off
"OFF AGAIN TO ADVENTURE!" Ruby happily said summoning her Keyblade in a heroic pose as they made their way to Thebes
-Meanwhile with Meg-
Meg walked through the forest now, but this part of the forest was cover in fog and had dead tree's littering the area. She looked back for a moment or so to see the groups of people she just met flying off on their mounts heading to the direction of Thebes, but she also was a bit confused with the girl in red holding a large key like weapon. She decided to pay no mind to it and turned back to continued her walk she had to admit to herself the whole group she had met were strange but nice folks, the man though that saved her well she had to say he was a cute one. She hoped slightly she would see him again, but her thoughts were cut off when she was stopped in her tracks to look down and see a super adorable brown bunny alongside a super adorable chestnut colored squirrel.
"Aw how cute…..a couple of rodents looking for a theme park," Meg said with a frown as the two small creature gave her a look of annoyance
"Who you calling a rodent sister, I am a bunny!" Yelled the bunny in a deep but funny sounding voice while point to his tail
"And I'm his good friend!" The squire added in with a sly and cowardly tone as dark wisps formed around the two animals which made both exploded leaving well…two little demons instead
"TADA!" The demons yelled, one was fat, had a comb over and red skin, this demon was named Pain. The other was an aqua green, had two spikes coming from its head and was thin, this demon was named Panic.
"Ugh, I thought I smelled a rat." Meg said with distain while a wisp of smoked touch her under her chin and turned her face to the other direction
"Oh Meg…." Said a sly voice as Meg narrowed her eyes at the figure in front of her
"Speak of the Devil…" Meg said with annoyance as the man she was referring to had blue skin, sharp teeth, yellow eyes, wore a grey and black toga along with having flaming blue hair. This was Hade's god of the underworld of this world and was a man with a plan in the making that would make him top dog on Mount Olympus the home of the other gods
"Meg, meg, my sweet like nut meg what happened." Hades said bring Meg closer to him before releasing her and turning the smoke back into his right arm "I though you said you we're going to persuade the river guardian to join me in my team for the uprising and here I am kind of….River guardianless." He said while conjuring up a board with a small wooden piece of the river Guardian with a slight frown
"Look I tried but he gave me an offer I couldn't do." Meg replied back as she flung the wooden River guardian off Hades chest board
"Oh so that's the case then, well instead of taking two years off your sentence how we add two more years." Hades said in a smug tone with a wide grin making Meg glare at him
"LOOK, it wasn't my fault some guy named Hercules came out and saved me. Heck I even meet his friends with him." Meg replied back with anger in her voice while Hades eyes widen from the first name she spoke of
"What was that name again?" Hades asked as he narrowed his brows now as well while leaning close to Meg while his hair beg to turn orange
"Hercules, he comes on with his big innocent farm boy routine but I could see through that in a palapligon minuet." Meg said as she turned away from Hade's sight but the lord of the underworld was not paying attention now as he was too preoccupied looking at Pain and Panic
"Hercules….huh what does that name sound familiar?" Panic said walked back and forth trying to remember someone with that name
"I don't know, maybe we owe him money. Wait a minute want that the name of the kid we were supposed to…." Pain said as both demons finally remember who it was that had that name
"OH MY GOD!" Pain and Panic yelled in fear but only for them to be caught by Hade by the legs and they were lifted up to his face
"So you took care of him huh, dead as a door nail…weren't those your EXACT words?" Hades said with rage as he now held both Pain and Panic by their necks
"Maybe this is a different Hercules?!" Pain said nervously
"Yeah Hercules is a very po-pualr-na-me-now a days…" Panic add in but only for him and Pain to start being chocked be an anger Hades
"Remember like a few years ago ever other boy was name Jason and the girl were name Brittney." Pain continued on as he struggled to get some air
"I'm am about to rearrange the cosmos, and the one salami who can louse it up is walking around still in THE WAY!" Hade said in rage as his blue color turn fiery orange and flames spewed out of him burring the whole dead forest around him into ash. Thankfully Meg dodged while Pain and Panic turned in to small bugs in fear
"Wait…Wait big guy we can still cut in on his walsing." Pain said as he reverted back to his demon form but still scared out of his mind
"That right at least we made him mortal, that's a good thing we did …didn't we?" Panic added in quickly with a sheepish smile
"Hm… fortunately for the three of you." Hades said as he turned both his arms into smoke, bring Pain, Panic and Meg close to him "We can all fix this mistake, and this time we make sure there are no foul ups."
"Right you oh mighty Hades." Panic replied back nervously as Hades dropped him and Pain on their butts and Meg on her feet
"Indeed it….wait a minute, Meg my dear you said Hercules was with a few friend right. What do these friend of his look like?" Hades asked as he felt his temper rising again if he had an idea who Hercules friend were
"Sure, well one dressed up like a gladiator, one was a solider probably out of boot camp, one was a Satyr, two were a duck in wizard outfit along with a dog in a knight's armor, an older woman in a black toga, a Pegasus, two Dragons and lastly four teenage girls also in togas." Meg answered with a raised eyebrow confused on why Hades was asking her this
"I see, did any of the four young girls have a key like blade?" Hades asked as his eye beagn to twitch
"Actually yeah one of them did, she was the smallest of them and I saw her pulling her key like weapon out when they took off to Thebes on their little flying pets." Meg answered as she back away a little noticing Hades was now literary smoking with rage
"WHAT THE KEYBLADE WEILDERS ARE HERE NOW TOO!" Hades as his body was engulfed in orange flames all the while he looked at Pain and Panic "I TOLD YOU TWO TO TELL ME IF THEY GOT HERE REEMEBER, SO WHY DIDN'T YOU!"
"B-B-But sir, w-w-we didn't have to, t-t-the other Hades sent us some his s-s-soldiers remember, that was why." Panic replied back in pure fear as he and Pain held onto each trembling, thankfully for them Hades calmed himself down
"I see, honestly I though he was just doing it as a paranoid precaution. I'll have to remember to take his worries more seriously from now on." Hades said as he pinched his brows in annoyance
"Yeah…um what d-do we do about these Keyblade wielders now?" Pain asked
"Don't worry about that I got an associate waiting for me at Thebes, I was going to go there much later but I guess that will have to change?" Hades said as he turned his gaze over to Meg who was just keeping her mouth shut
"So did you want me to do something about them too, because look I may not care for most people but I ain't a child killer." Meg said as she gave Hades a glare
"Oh no, no, no don't worry your pretty little head about it, you just make your way over to Thebes and I'll meet you there got it?" Hade replied back with a smirk
"Fine, but at least teleport me there so I don't have to walk all the way to the city." Meg asked
"As you wish." Hades said as he swung his hand in a downwards motion and seconds later an oval shaped purple and black portal appeared in front of him "Now then this portal will send you to just outside the Thebes entrance."
"Better than nothing I guess." Meg said reluctantly before she made her way into the portal and within seconds after she departed the portal closed
"Now then Pain, Panic we'll be going back to the underworld to get some back up before we get to Thebe's as well." Hades said to the two still cowering demons
"Of course, but when you say back up you mean…." Panic asked with a bit of distain in his tone
"Yes we'll be getting some heartless to help us, along with a few more present the other Hades sent us from his world and tow others." Hades said as he, Pain and Panic we're engulfed in a green blue flames but unknown to them they all we're being watched
"Strange they are, I wonder if I should follow those other one's though. They did mention a Keyblade Wielder." Said a man wearing a dark hat with ripped up fin's pointing out the end. His upper half consisted of a black and grey vest cover by a long black leather trench coat with two black gloves. His lover half were a pair pf black pants and black boots. His face was cover by cloth leaving only his tan skin and blues eyes showing. "Maybe….maybe if I find those Keyblade wielders they can help me find the doll, help me find Mira. I remember some books in the hunter's dream saying that Keyblade wielders had the power to travel worlds, that would be of some help to me since I do not know where I am…still I must make haste to this Thebes. I hope they can help a hunter of Yahrman out."
The Yahrman hunter then began to make his way to the direction he had seen the four girls and their companions go with hope that maybe he would be able to get their help so he can return his world and so he could also see her once again….
-Meanwhile somewhere else-
"Hello, hello is anyone out there!" Pyrrha yelled out as she looked around wondering where she was, she knew this place she was in was nothing but pitch darkness and that she herself was the only visible thing in the darkness "Please is anyone out there!"
Pyrrha rubbed her throat a little from how sore it was from all the yelling she had been doing since she woke up, the place she was in gave no indication of time and she was beginning to lose hope. The only reason she kept yelling out was for her's and Juane's unborn child, she needed to get out of here because she wanted to see her child be born, she wanted to live out the rest of her happy life out with Juane but she also worried about Ren, Nora and the other's…she worried very much what had happen to the all. But suddenly a small light popped up in front of her, it slowly flew around her head then stopped right in front of her face
"Hello….do…do you know where my friends are?" Pyrrha asked though mentally berated herself for asking such a stupid question, but to her surprise the small light moved a few feet away from her, but it stopped and bounced up and down like it was telling her to follow it. Pyrrha did since she knew that this was really her only way of figuring out where she was so she followed the light.
Pyrrha followed the light for what seemed to be hours, she hated this place and its lack of perspective for time but she knew she had to keep going. She ran for a few more minutes at least before to light stopped making Pyrrha stop as well
"What's wrong did little guy?" Pyrrha asked but the light shine brighter to the point of blind her, then once the light died she heard a voice
"Nothing is wrong young one but we are were your friends are." Said a calm deep voice and as Pyrrha looked she saw a man wearing that she couldn't even describe if she could other than he had thorn like crown grown in his head, grey skin and carried a staff
"Who…what are you?" Pyrrha asked the strange looking man
"I am human and my name is Virgil, you are in a world of darkness. You are not conscious physically but spiritually at the moment and the darkness is what your heart has been poisoned with which is the reason why your world at the moment is nothing but darkness." Virgil answered as he gave Pyrrha a small frown of sympathy
"What do you mean, nothing is making sense….where is everyone else?!" Pyrrha asked desperately as she couldn't understand anything at the moment
"That maybe hard to explain you lady." Said another voice which had a more elderly tone to it, a flash of light shined once more blinding Pyrrha and once it dimmed down she saw another man.
This man was much older, he had wrinkled peach skin, long gray hair, wore black tattered hat along with a red scarf around his neck, his upper half he wore a brown jacket with tattered shoulder length cap and a tan vest underneath, he also wielded a brown cane. His lower half were plain marron pants and one brown shoe on his left foot as his right foot was missing and was replace by a wooden peg leg. But what caught Pyrrha's attention was that the man was in a wheel chair
"Ah I was wondering when you would show up." Virgil said to the old man with a small smile as the old man slightly smiled back before turning his attention back to Pyrrha
"Ah I see you are scared child, that is…understandable. But where are my manners, I am Gerhman the first hunter of Yahrman and no before you ask not the hunter like from where you are from. Though I do say they share a somewhat similar role, your hunter would be seen as soft from the hunters of my world…no offence of course." Gehrman said kindly as he tip his hat to her
"Oh um none taken, wait what do mean by other hunter and other worlds where are my friends like I asked before and how did you even know about hunters in vale?!" Pyrrha asked becoming more confused by this
"Calm yourself child, to answer your question though well there are many more worlds that mine or yours. I am from a world where hunters are monster killers for an already dead world. I was stuck in a dream physically and only am here because of my friend Virgil here." Gerhman said as he nodded
"Indeed and I am also from another world but that is all I will say. Also for your friends well take a look next to you." Virgil said as he pointed to the right of Pyrrha as she looked down to see a sleeping Nora and Ren which startled her for a few seconds
"But how, I didn't…I….I'm so confused." Pyrrha said as she rubbed her head
"We understand, but I believe your friends are waking up." Virgil said trying to keep Pyrrha from snapping as she looked to be which worked as Pyrrha looked down with a smile to see Ren and Nora sitting themselves up and yawing
"What…where are we…hm why does it look so dark here?" Nora muttered as she yawned some more with her eyes slightly opened
"Nora what are you talking about?" Ren asked as he yawned as well, then opened his eyes to see Pyrrha but when he saw Virgil, Gehrman and the empty darkness around him he did something much out of his character…he screamed loudly
"AHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA!" Ren screamed out loud startling Pyrrha but get a snicker form Gehrman and Virgil but also making Nora open her eyes now and Nora being well Nora scream equally as loud as she hugged Ren, this would have went on but Pyrrha covered their mouths
"Okay look I know this is weird, but could you please not scream." Pyrrha asked kindly ask Nora and Ren nodded, then Pyrrha removed her hands from her more now calmer friends mouths
"We're good but can someone tell us where we are and who these two men are with us?" Ren asked in a somewhat impatient tone
"Yeah what with all this around us?!" Nora asked next with a raised eyebrow
"Calm yourselves children, it simple really though also confusing as well." Gehrman answered
"What do mean?" Pyrrha asked
"Virgil would you care to explain, your much better at it than I am." Gehrman asked
"I shall, you see children right now you all in the darkness in your hearts. All of this is your heart, we are in your hearts." Virgil explained
"Ew, but where is all the blood and stuff?" Nora asked with a slight frown
"No he does not mean your physical heart, it is your spiritual Herat you all are in. The heartless came to your world and abducted you all, but also poisoned your hearts with darkness. At the moment your bodies are in a sleep like state in the hands of a vile group." Gehrman explained
"Okay but if that's the case …wait where Juane then, shouldn't he be here with us as well?!" Pyrrha asked with a concern tone while Ren and Nora nodded agreeing with Pyrrha's question
"The same group we just spoke of, the one named Juane is with them. He does not know it but he is being used by them for their own dark purposes. What they are planning me and Gehrman do not know, but the fact is he may be soon used for a dark purpose, that he is being twisted into believing in so he can save you all. Ironically it was the very group he is a part of now that poisoned your hearts with darkness." Virgil answered
"So that means we can't do anything to stop this group?" Ren asked
"You three may not be able too, but your friends Ruby, Weiss, Blake and Yang are able to. They have been chosen to wield the keyblades, the only weapons that can stop this madness." Virgil answered back
"As of now we can only watch and hope they will be able to pull through." Gehrman added in
"Well I know they will!" Nora replied back happily
"Agreed." Ren said next with a smirk
"Still, I pray they stay safe." Pyrrha said as she held her hands together with a small smile as she, Nora, Ren, Gehrman and Virgil waited in the darkness wondering what would come to next in the future
-Meanwhile back with the group-
"Ugh, where the heck can you find a colosseum around here. It shouldn't be this hard to find." Yang said in an annoyed huff as she and the others had made it to Thebe's, they all then we're able to enter the city with no issues especially since their group was comprised of a few non-human companions. But that probably was expected since this world seemed to have magic creature to begin with so it wasn't all that out of the ordinary. They also encountered a few strange individuals on their way into the city, like a man who Yang, Dante, Guin and Donald almost attacked because they thought he was flashing them. That wasn't the case, instead he was just selling them….sun dials, so the guy got lucky as Ruby, Ikail, Goofy, Blake and Weiss we're able to calm them down before anything bad could occur
"Yang I know how you feel, but I'm sure we'll be able to find it." Goofy replied back
"Agreed, still I personally wanted to punch out those other folks who were mocking Hercules." Weiss said with a slight scowl as she and the other after around twenty minutes into the city meet a few of the citizens complaining about constant earthquakes, monster attack and much more. This peaked up Hercules interest the most as he went over to the civilians to introduce himself though it didn't go well as they just mocked him. Phil attack one of them but Ikail used her force abilities to lift him off before the fight could escalate. Yang was about to join in but Blake and Dante were able to hold her back as well. After that they wander around a little more before overhearing about a colosseum where people come to be born hero and to prove their worth, this got Ruby, Donald and Phil to come up with a plan which was 'Go to colosseum and get Hercules to prove his worth to the civilians" which brings them all to their current predicament…
"You and me both Weiss, you and me both." Blake replied back as with a frown
"Are you feeling alright Blake, you seem a little aggravated?" Guin asked as the others glanced at her with worry
"I'm alright, I just don't like this city itself. It gives me a bad vibe." Blake replied back which was a half lie as she really didn't like this city but also her cat ears under her bow were in discomfort from the continuous noise from the city itself. But she couldn't do anything about it because she still was thinking over the Cheshire cats two questions, she also didn't know when she should tell them if she decided but she did know that Ruby, Weiss and Yang would be the most affected by it
"I see, well if something is bothering we're here for you." Guin replied back with a tone that made Blake wonder if he knew about her secret. Those thoughts were cut off when suddenly the world around her and the others froze still in time along with Hercules, Phil, Pegasus, Lara and Rita. As this happened Virgil appeared before them
"Virgil, hey what's up buddy!" Ruby happily asked
"Hello there again, it is nice to see you all." Virgil said with a smile as he nodded
"Virgil did you do this?" Ikail asked
"Yes I did, as of the moment time has halted in this world but only until I undo it." Virgil answered
"I didn't actually know you had this ability Virgil." Dante said with a surprised look
"I always have had this ability, I never used it with you in the hell because Satan's power did not allow me to." Virgil answered back
"What do mean by that?" Goofy asked
"What I mean is that depending on the world and its magic capabilities, my powers grow stronger. This worlds is filled with much magic letting me use my abilities to their fullest and it only effects the natives of this world which is why your friends here a effected as well. But that is not what I came here to say to you all, what I wanted to say was to give you a warning. It seems that one of the gods here, the lord of the underworld named Hades is plotting against you all but I believe Dante knows that correct?" Virgil said as the other turned their attention to him
"Wait you do Dante?!" Ruby asked with a surprised face
"I…wait right I remember now, I was going to tell you all something important. I must have forgotten I do apologize for that." Dante replied back with a frown but got a friendly pat on the back from Ruby
"Hey don't worry Dante, we've all been getting distracted by the crazy events happening in this world. But ah if you could tell us what you wanted to tell us now that would be cool." Ruby said with a wide smile
"Thank you, but what I wanted to tell was at the temple of Zeus the hades from my world contacted me. He told me he had meet the Hades of this world and that he also has sent some of his minions to help him." Dante explained much to the surprised of the other
"Wait was that why you spaced out a little in the temple?" Ikail asked with concern in her tone
"Yes it was, again I do apologize for forgetting to tell you all." Dante replied back
"And like Ruby said we all do not blame for forgetting, this world as well is very distracting in it's own way." Guin said with a slight nod
"Now that all know this, I must warn you not to doubt the devil of mine and Dante's world. He is a well know deceiver so expect the unexpected. Also on a side note the colosseum is a few yards to the right of you all so you should all get a move on." Virgil said but before he could Dante stopped him
"Virgil wait, I must ask but….do you know how Beatrice is doing?" Dante asked with a slight desperate tone as the other gave him a glance of sympathy only wondering how much inner turmoil he must be going through
"Dante the Devil holds her soul with him. Do you truly want to know what he's been doing with her?" Virgil answered back as Dante slightly felt a pang of horror on what he was implying along with the others who somewhat could only guess but the girls…they had a horrible feeling what Virgil was implying and the idea of it was truly horrifying
"I…never mind, I don't care to know." Dante said with a slight cold tone now as Virgil nodded before addressing the others
"Now then I must take my leave, but don't worry the time shall continue a minuet after my departed." Virgil said as the others nodded their heads but when they looked back to where Virgil was he was and like last time he was gone. Now they had to wait for a minuet for time in this world to start up again, the girls knew how to pass the minuet
"Dante are you…are you alright?" Weiss asked with a frown
"Yeah I mean, look if you want to talk about it we'll listen." Yang added in
"Agreed." Ruby, Blake, Ikail, Donald, Goody and Guin added in as well
"Thank you all but I'm okay, this just gives me more reason to save Beatrice when I get back to my world." Dante said as he a took a deep breathe before giving a small smile
"That's the spirit and we'll be with ya like we said before." Ruby said joyfully
"Yes…yes you will." Dante replied back with a wary smile now as he really didn't know if it was a good idea to have them with him once he returned back to his world, but he knew from the short time he spent with them that they weren't going to take no for an answer. He just hoped they would be ready, but his thoughts were interrupted when the people began to move around again and the noise of the city came back while Hercules, Phil, Pegasus, Lara and Rita continued walking though stopped to see the others had stopped in their tracks
"Hey you all coming, we still need to find the colosseum." Phil asked with a somewhat aggravated tone
"Yeah we are Phil, but I think we know where it is so follow us." Yang answered back as she and the others began running in the direction Virgil gave them while Hercules, Phil, Pegasus, Lara and Rita looked at one another shrugged, then followed the rest.
-Meanwhile at the Unknown Castel-
"Very good Juane, you have improved quite well with you masterly of the dark spells." Makuta said with a smirk across his metallic face
"Thank you, I have been putting my all into this." Juane replied back with a grateful nod
"Indeed you have, you have become much more focused on your training. Why would that be exactly?" Makuta asked with slight curiosity as the darkness in the boy's heart had grown much more noticeable and stronger
"Because my friends and fiancés lives are on the line, I will help you with what you need to do and in the end you'll help me as well." Juane replied back
"Oh yes we will…" Mukta mumbled with a smirk "I should ask though, will you even take the hearts of your other friends as well?"
"They aren't my friends anymore, I don't think they ever truly were. All I care about is my team's lives so yes I will take their hearts with no issue." Juane said with an angered frown at the thought of team RWBY, though he also seemed to have some doubt in his tone as well like he really didn't believe himself when he said that
"I see, well thank you for telling me, you may leave now I have other manners to do." Makuta said as Juane nodded and exited his chambers "You may come out now." he said as a shade landed on the ground and formed into Maleficent
"The boys darkness is growing very quickly now isn't it?" Maleficent said with a grin
"Yes it is, his heart grows darker with every moment he is here. Do you believe him to be ready?" Makuta asked
"No not yet, it is hard to forge a copy Keyblade. They are weapons of light and to make one from Darkness is not an easy task. But I know that our dark warrior will destroy those pesky Keyblade wielders when his time rises." Maleficence explained with her grin growing
"Indeed, still I must ask but have you gotten word from Hades at all or is he still in his world?" Makuta asked with a bored tone
"You would be correct on your guess, Hades seems to be dealing with the Keyblade wielders and their little friends now. They seem to become an obstacle in his plans." Maleficence answered "I shall be doing a visit to his world soon, see how his plans are coming along. Though I fear he may be becoming to in tuned with the Heartless he's been keeping locked up and may soon become victim to their influence."
"Is that so, well then we shall have to see." Makuta replied back with a short laugh
"Certainly, but I shall leave you be." Maleficence said with a short laugh as well as she exited the chambers leaving Makuta alone
"Hades shall fall along with the others by the Keyblade wielders. Once they do I shall take the boy as my own and he shall be used to destroy the Keyblade wielders along with the Toa's of my world and my brother slumber shall continue to be undisturbed…" Makuta muttered to himself with a wicked grin forming on his face
-Back with the group-
"Are we almost there yet?!" Phil yelled out in annoyance
"I thought we we're, must have gotten lost." Ruby replied back with a sight pout as she began to think of how she got the directions mixed up
"Ruby I think it would be best if some else takes the reins with the directions, because I think we're lost." Blake said carefully so that she wouldn't offended Ruby
"I…I know, I just couldn't handle admitting it." Ruby said as she slumped her head a little
"Aw Ruby I'm sure you did fine." Weiss said as she unintentionally hugged Ruby which only took the a few seconds to take notice as they yelped in embarrassment as Weiss released Ruby from the hug with a slight blush on their cheeks
"Th-Thank you Weiss." Ruby said with a slight stutter and a small smile
"N-no problem, just want t-to make you feel better is all." Weiss replied back
"Hey you two need a moment alone I mean we can give you one if you want?" Ikail joked much Ruby and Weiss increased embarrassment but amusement to everyone else, but that moment was cut short as a familiar voice belonging to Meg yelled out from the crowd
"Please someone help, please there's been a terrible accident!" Meg said desperately as she pushed past people to find someone to help with whatever she was talking about
"Meg?" Hercules said with a surprised tone as he ran up to her
"Speaking of disasters..." Phil said with annoyance in his tone
"My question is how in the world did she get here so fast?" Donald asked confused by her sudden appearance
"Yah and look at the way she's talking to Hercules, she seems to be buttering him up." Ikail added in as she and the rest watched the conversation between Hercules and Meg
"You think she's acting right?" Weiss asked as she had come to same conclusion
"Correct we may need to keep our eyes on her when we can." Ikail relied back
"I agree, but Hercules is coming back and I think he has news." Blake cut in as Hercules ran back up to them with Meg
"Hercules what's the problem?" Goofy asked
"Meg just told me two boys are stuck under a large boulder and their losing air quickly down by the colosseum. Phil this could be my chance!" Hercules explained much to their other surprise
"You're really broken up about this aren't ya?" Meg asked but only for Hercules to grab her arm and climb upon Pegasus with her
"NO WAIT I HAVE A FEAR OF HEIGHTS!" Meg scream out in fear as Pegasus lifted up in the air
"Come on lets go help!" Yang yelled out as she, Ruby, Weiss and Blake climbed on top of Lara and lifted off while Guin, Donald, Goofy, Dante and Ikail lifted off on Rita but also accidently leaving Phil behind
"Should we turn back!"Blake asked
"No we don't have time to, besides he could use the exercise!" Guin replied back as they all flew off to the colosseum now
"Don't worry I'm right behind you all!" Phil yelled out as he ran groundside but only stop from the shortness of breath. "I way behind you all, I getting a furry wedgie."
-A few minutes later at the colosseum-
"OH so this is where the colosseum was, now wonder why we got lost easily." Ruby said as she and the others were flying down into the dull, gray rocklike area
"What kind of colosseum is this, it doesn't even look like one?" Weiss asked
"Maybe it's being fixed up?" Yang suggested but notice Blake narrowing her eyes at the place "What's wrong Blakey?"
"I just have a bad feeling about this place, we should keep our guard up." Blake replied back but then the sounds of two boys screaming for help got hers and the others attention
"They're under there wonder boy, quickly we have to help them!" Meg said in a worried tone
"Don't worry I'm on it!" Hercules said as he landed Pegasus on the ground then sprinted to the two boys, this was followed by the others who landed on the ground as well and dismounted Lara and Rita
"Should we help him?" Ikail asked only for her question to be answered as Hercules lifted up the large boulder over the two boys which one was skinny, blond haired and wearing an aqua green toga, The other boy was brown haired chubby and wore a maroon toga which brought a smile to Megs and the other faces as the sounds of slow clapping could be heard from behind
"Whoa the heck did they all come from?" Yang asked as she and the rest minus Hercules noticed that the citizens all had come to see Hercules saved the two boys while sitting on stones that looked oddly enough like seats
"How you boys doing?" Hercules asked in a very heroic tone as he held up the rock still
"Were fine now mister!" The boy in the green toga said happily
"Gee whiz mister you're really strong." The boy in the marron toga said with a shy smile
"Thanks, but try to stay be a little safer next time alright?" Hercules said while sporting as smile
"We sure will mister!" The boy in the green toga answered happily as he and his friend ran off in the opposite direction of Hercules who threw the large boulder aside to him and taking a deep breather while the other ran up to him
"That was amazing Hercules!" Goofy said
"Totally, you saved those kids lives!" Ruby said next joyfully as Yang, Dante, Donald, Guin and Ikail all just nodded agreeing with Ruby's and Goofy's statement
"See Blake, you we're worried for nothing." Weiss said with a small smirk
"I didn't say that I was worried about the boys, I just feel like something more is going to happen in few moments or so." Blake replied back as she was the only one to notice Meg had gone missing. Meanwhile the two boys Hercules had saved were now running up a rocky slop, once they got there they both took a deep breath before speaking to one another
"Jeez whiz mister, really?" The boy in the aqua green toga said in an annoyed tone as he changed his form into the demon Panic
"I was going for, innocent." The boy in the marron toga replied back in also equally annoyed tone as he turned back into the demon Pain
"You both did great with your part." Hades said with a smirk "And flaming two thumbs up to our leading lady Meg." He added in while doing two thumbs up that were literally on fire to Meg who was standing by the edge of a cliff with a worried look on her face
"Come on you all, just get out of their now…" Meg muttered to herself
"Um sir what's the next part of the plan anyways?" Pain asked
"Oh don't you worry you little head about it, you'll see in about a minute or so what I've planned to do to get rid of them all and Meg will be helping me out." Hades said as he donned on a black cloak covering his whole body
"Wait what do mean…oh no." Meg asked but she stopped when she figured out what Hades had planned on doing with her as he snapped his fingers making Meg disappear within seconds
-Meanwhile back with the group-
"Come on Blake your just getting way to paranoid now, if anything bad was going to happen then way hasn't it yet?" Weiss asked with a raised eyebrow
"I don't know Weiss, it's a gut feeling alright. This place really does not sit well with me." Blake replied back with a slight frown
"Still even if you are right Blake, I'm sure we can take it handle it." Dante added in
"Totally beside you got me, Guin and Hercs here as the muscle of the group so no worries." Yang said pride fully as she and Hercules did a heroic pose while Guin just sighed and shook his head at the two youth's prideful attitudes
"Oh yeah big sis, you can kick anyone's butt!" Ruby said with wide smile
"And this is why I so grateful to have a little sister like you." Yang said happily with an equally wide smile as Ruby
"Still I don't feel comfortable here, beside have any of you notice Meg is gone now?" Blake said as the other looked around to notice Meg was indeed gone
"Where did she go?!" Donald asked with a very surprised tone
"We got to find her quickly!" Hercules interjected with much concern
"I think I found here." Dante said in a quite tone
"What do mean you-" Ruby asked but was cut off as the sounds of screaming could be heard, the group turned their heads to see that Meg was tied up at the end of a rope on the edge of a very high cliff
"MEG!" Hercules yelled out in fear but only to be stopped as he a wall of blue flames came up from the ground startling the civilians still there and the groups themselves which only made it creepier when they heard the slight laughed of a man in a black cloak on a cliff next to Meg
"Hello there HEROS, I capture your friend here and I will drop her to her death if you don't comply with my terms." Said a disguised Hades
"What terms!?" Ruby yelled out as she along with the rest pulled out their weapons ready for a fight
"First off…" The Hades said as he took a breath before continuing "LAIDES AND GENTALMAN WELCOME TO THE COLLOUSUME EVENT, THE TOURNOMENT OF WORTH!" he yelled out loudly as the civilians clapped in confusion more than excitement
"Are you serious right now!?" Yang yelled out in anger but the Hades just laughed before addressing her
"Why yes I am, now then rule number two, I get to decide who fight with who. So with that being the case let's get start with one of your more violent companions." Hades said as he snapped his fingers making the girls, Ikail, Guin, Donald, Goofy, Lara, Rita, Pegasus and Hercules appear inside of a stone cage
"OH NO DANTE!" Ruby said in fear as Dante was the first one to fight
"Crap we got to find way out of here!" Yang said next as she tried to bashed the stone cage with her Keyblade but with no luck
"Yang I don't we have a choice right now." Blake said sadly
"We have to try at least, Dante could get seriously hurt or worse if we don't try to get out of this cage." Yang said back with a very worried tone
"Yang we all feel the same as you do but we can't do anything." Weiss said next also with a very sad tone
"Child listen, we must have faith in Dante. I'm sure he can handle himself so please conserve your energy for we will all have to take a turn fighting." Guin calmly said as he sat down on one of the stone chairs
"I….fine, but it doesn't mean I have to like it." Yang said as she and others took their seats as well
"Same here big sis, same here." Ruby added in as she gave a sympathetic nod to Yang who nodded back then they all turned their attention over to their lone companion and listen in on what was occurring
"Well then what is it I shall have to face, will it be a monster from the depth of darkness in this place or what?" Dante asked in an irritated tone as he prepared his scythe and cross for battle
"Oh no none of that, no a friend of yours actually gave me a few friends from your home world." Hades said with a mischievous tone as Dante eyes winded a little as he figured out who this man was…
"This man must be Hades then." Dante muttered in anger as he knew what his world's devil probably sent this one
"Now then let's start the battle, first four is the MINION ROUND!" The disguised Hades yelled out as he snapped his finger revealing forty humans, but their skin was bone pale, they had the look of malnourishment, only had a ragged cloak around the waist and legs as a form of clothing, held rusty swords but lastly the had a skeletal face with sunken in eyes and baring rotting teeth. The minions surrounded Dante with a thirst for his death in their soulless eyes
"Oh no….." Ruby muttered as she and the others watched in worry for Dante who himself had already gotten into a fighting stance with both hands on his scythe
"LET THE ROUND START NOW!" Hades yelled out as he snapped his fingers again and the minion charge but at the same time Dante charged as well and the first match of Hades Tournament of Worth beagn….
-Meanwhile back in the city part of Thebe's-
"Why I wonder does everyone here wear only cloth around them?" The Yahrman hunter muttered to himself before looking at his hunter's attire and smirk slightly with some amusement in the irony of his statement "Not that I have much room to talk I guess."
"Hey did you hear that there's a tournament going on now, seems like they got a few volunteers for the fighting so go there if you don't want to miss out!" Yelled a woman in a brown toga and with blond hair, pale skin and blue eyes to the people in the crowd with some deciding not to go while others just continued on their own business
"Um excuse me miss can I ask what you're talking about?" The Yahrman hunter asked as he had a feeling the Keyblade wielders he was looking for where there
"Sure mister…" The woman asked but stopped since she didn't know his name
"Oh my name is um…um…oh right my name is Vladimir, strange I know but it's mine." Vladimir said as the woman just giggled a little
"I like it, still if you want to know, looks like around eleven people we're picked to become fighters for the a sudden tournament that just started. If you keep going straight down the road behind me you'll eventually make it the colosseum." The woman in blond said happily
"Thank you very much miss, I bid you farewell now." Vladimir said as he tips his hat slightly and began to make his way to the colosseum. It took around fifth teen minutes but he did make it there, he had pass through a crowd of people and once he made his way to a spot he could see clearly, he saw the same group of people from the forest in a cage, but he also saw one of them fight what he can only described as monsters in their own rights
-Back with Dante and the others-
"GET OFF ME DAMN YOU!" Dante yelled out in rage as he slashed through another few minions who were now accompanied by flaming minions which were just minions on fire and Guardian Demons which were tall charcoal black skinned creature with red eyes, goat legs, had two large horns on it's head along with a tail and wore nothing but a bone made loin cloth, head piece, braces and a long iron sword. Dante was holding his own pretty well at the moment as the demons coming at him were surprisingly weak, still in hordes they prove to be dangerous as Dante did take a few nasty hits from them. While this was happening the others in the cage watched concerned for Dante's safety but also amazement at how much butt he was kicking.
"Wow I never actually have seen Dante fight by himself before." Ruby said with a smile as she was amazed at how proficient he was with his scythe and cross as he used both so fluently with each combo he performed against the ongoing horde of minions
"Totally, heck he could give you some pointers Ruby." Yang joked as Ruby just giggled at her big sisters joke
"Still I'm worried about him, he looks like he's becoming fatigued." Blake said next as she and the others looked closely to see Dante's was breathing faster, his body was sweating more and his wounds still bleed slightly
"I'm sure he's fine, I mean he's been taking those monsters out for how long now. There's no way he could be taken down so easily." Weiss said though with some doubt in her own words as she looked upon Dante to see he received another hit on the back, but this one gave out a large cut on his back
"UGH!" Dante yelled out in pain as he blocked yet another slash from a minion "CURSE YOU ALL BACK TO HELL!" he yelled out in rage and frustration as he did a spin slash cutting the surrounding minions in half
"Gawrsh I hope Dante can hold out." Goofy said in very worried tone while Donald kept trying to break the cage along with Hercules who surprisingly couldn't either
"Why won't this thing break?!" Donald yelled out in annoyance as he sat on the ground in defeat
"I can't say Donald but I'm surprised this cage won't break when I punch it. That guy must have enchanted this cage or something?" Hercules replied back as he sat on the ground next to Donald
"You two still can't break it open?" Ikail asked as she patted both boys on the shoulders
"Nope, nothing we do can break this cage." Donald answered
"Well like Guin said you two should save the rest of your strength for the fighting, I'm positive we all will be picked soon to participate in this tournament." Ikail said with a frown as she turned her attention back over to the others watching Dante's fight and wonder how he was holding up
"I can't get a break from these foul demons can I?" Dante muttered to himself as he dodged yet another swipe from a fire Minion and hit it with his cross killing the creature, then he blocked an attack from a Guardian Demon who's blade was pushed back giving Dante an opening as he stabbed the Guardian right in the chest with his Scythe Dante then lifted his blade up cutting the demon's upper torso in half. Once the body fell to the ground Dante was swarmed by the Minions, Fire minions and Guardian Demons who all dog piled on him as a sort of last ditch effort to kill him which made the audience gasp along with the group, especially the girls
"DANTE!" Ruby, Weiss, Blake and Yang yelled out in horror from the sight of their friend's possible death, but a few seconds past and the group noticed a small blue light coming from the horde
"What in the-" Weiss said out loud but was cut off as the horde of satanic enemies flew up in the air into every direction while a blue blinding light glowed for a few seconds. Once the glow was down they all noticed Dante was surrounded by a blue aura of some sorts, he had two angel wings made from light coming out from his back along with the fact all his wounds were healing up within seconds
"Is that…is that an aura like ours?" Ruby asked in shock
"I got to ask the same thing here." Yang added in agreeing with Ruby with an equally shocked face
"No it isn't an aura but something else completely." Blake answered as she was wide eye now from Dante's display in power
"Then what could it be then if that's not the case?" Weiss asked as she was trying to comprehend what she just saw
"It was magic, what Dante did was a spell." Donald replied back
"How do you know that Donald?" Ikail asked
"Um Ikail…" Guin said as he pointed to Donald's wizard hat
"OH, right then I forgot for a second sorry." Ikail said a little embarrassed she forgot the fact that Donald was a wizard
"Shhh, the fight is not over yet." Guin said as he out of everyone was the calmest. The others didn't know what he meant but that was quickly answers as a few surviving Guardian Demons got back up and were running at Dante with the sole intent to kill. The whole group watched to see what would happen and to their continued surprise Dante suddenly glowed an angelic blue once again and dashed forward at the demons. He stopped right behind the last Guardian who along with his three other Guardians were all impaled with ice spikes
"WHOA!" The whole group said in surprise as the Demons stopped appearing now and Dante fell on one knee breathing heavily, but it wasn't over as Hades clapped his hands slowly together
"Very well done my good sir, you really do show how skilled the Templar we're don't you." Hades said in a mocking tone while he gave off a slight chuckle
"Silence you, as you can see I have overcome your fail attempt to take my life." Dante replied back in an irritated tone
"Yeah you go Dante!" Ruby cheered as the other cheered along with her but Hades just laugh a little more
"Oh Dante, you really think that was the whole show. No, this is just the start... right now though let me show you another surprise from that friend of yours." Hades replied back with a vile smirk from underneath his hood as he snap his fingers once more.
Nothing happens for a few seconds, but the ground underneath Dante began to shake a little. Suddenly eight brown crosses popped up from the ground with eight figure crucified on each one with their hands and feet having one nail drive through them. The figure were skeletons with metal greaves, gauntlets, helmets and a tattered white robes that had what looked like red crosses stitched to them. The appearance of these figure made the civilian populace gasp in shock and made the group themselves look at the scene wide eyed while also overhearing what Dante was saying
"Templars, b-but how the priest absolved us from our sins before the war. This shouldn't be..." Dante said with a horror struck face but then a voice came that brought even more horror to Dante
"But it is…." said a man's voice
No...it can't be." Dante mutters to himself as the ground shook one last time revealing one last figure that was standing in the opposite side of Dante with a face of anger
This figure wore the same attire as the crucified Templars, but this man didn't wear a mask. Instead this man had long blond hair, blue eyes, and gray decayed skin with the flesh around the sides of his jaw missing show the man's bare side teeth. To the group and especially the girls, the all were confused on why Dante gave was so horror stricken. They got their answer when the new figure spoke
"The priest lied to us Dante, they couldn't absolve us for our sins and for that we were sent to hell for at we did in Jerusalem. God do not tolerate any form of violence, even if it is for supposed holy cause!" The man snarled in rage
"Francesco listen you to me, your being used right now. Please we're friend and your Beatrice's little brother, please do not do this." Dante said with a pleading tone to the man named Francesco who was Beatrice's younger brother along with being a Knight Templar, he had died in the war but not from the enemy they had fought. Though that is an explanation for later on
"No I will not listen, you are coming with us back to hell were you belong!" Francesco yelled out as he pulled out an iron sword, ran up to Dante and slash downwards at him. Dante though was able to block in the last second making the two blades collided making sparks flying between the blades. A few seconds later and Dante was pushed back making him rolled on the ground before he finally was able to get his footing as he knelt on his right knee. Francesco on the other hand only slid on his boots on the ground, once he stopped Francesco then prepared his blade once more for battle
"Please I'm must save Beatrice soul, your sister soul. So stay your blade I beg of you brother!" Dante yelled out
"I AM NO BROTHER OF YOURS AND YOU DO NOT DESERVED BEATRICE, SO PREPARE YOURSELF TO DIE!" Francesco takes back as he ran at Dante who swiped at him but was blocked by Dante. Meanwhile the other just watched in fear for Dante life but also pity for who he had to fight
"I can't believe Dante has to fight his own friend..." Blake said in a sorrowful tone
"What makes it worst is that his friend is intent on killing him." Weiss said next as she couldn't comprehend how that must feel to have to fight someone who was pretty much family to you
"I hope I get a chance to deck that cloak wearing jerk." Yang said in anger as she clench her left fist while using her right arm to comfort Ruby who was crying a little into her shoulder
"I'm with ya on that Yang." Donald said as he huffed a little
"I just hope he doesn't get injured or worse." Goofy said worriedly
"I don't think he will, look I may not have known you all for that long but I know you all can hold your own." Hercules said helping the group's moral
"Very well said Hercules." Guin simply stated as he have a respectful bod to Hercules who smiles at the praise but that was interrupted when they heard Dante scream in pain, they all looked to see Dante had received a cut across his chest which bleed out a d net amount of blood
"Give up Dante you know I've always been the better swordsman between the two of us." Francesco said as he slash once again a Dante who ducked under him and fired a short volley of cross which Francesco barley dodged. Francesco then swung his blade backwards right at Dante's head but Dante blocked the swing and push Francesco blade back. Dante then quickly turned his body around and swung his scythe at the center of Francesco, but Francesco was able to parry Dante and sink the blade of his scythe into the ground getting it stuck. Francesco then grabbed Dante by his left arm and flung him over his body slamming Dante into the ground. Dante got back up a few seconds later but only to be met with the tip of Francesco sword to lower center of his neck
"DANTE NO!" Ruby, Weiss, Blake and Yang yelled out in horror as they along with the other were helpless to help Dante out from this mess
"Give it up Dante, your going to die now, you're going to hell with us and you will never see Beatrice again." Francesco said as he readied his blade for the killing blow but Dante wasn't going to give up
"No, I will not..." Dante said in a dark tone as he suddenly forced himself forward Francesco while also getting his neck a slightly cut from Francesco blade tip making the civilians and the group cringe a little at that. But because of Dante's risky move he was able to get Francesco by surprise making the man back off of Dante who took advantage of this opportunity to un wedge his scythe and get into a battle stance, Francesco did the same a few seconds after getting his footing back
"Give it up Dante, you cannot win this battle. This is where you die." Francesco said as he held his sword with both hands
"Over my dead body." Dante replied back darkly as he held his scythe with both hands
"That's the idea..." Francesco said as he charged Dante and Dante did the same, both men came closer and closer to one another with screams of battle in the air, this was making the group and civilians watching in suspense as the two got closer and closer until they past each other with their blades now against the ground. Both men took a deep breath, but Dante fell on his right knee and cough up a little bit of blood
"No..." Ruby muttered as she had the other looked wide eyed at Dante
"I wi-" Francesco said but only for him to stop mid-sentence as a red horizontal line appeared across his face, the his head spit in half, the body slump down on its knees and the blood spirited out of now slain Francesco sliced head as a few seconds after the body turned to dust showing that Dante had dealt the final blow. Thankfully Ikail was able to cover Donald and Goofy eyes before they could see it, Guin did the same thing with Hercules, Rita, Lara and Pegasus used their wings to cover their eyes but the girls...they saw it all and at the moment felt sick to their stomach, especially Ruby
"Ruby are you..." Yang asked taking a deep breath to calm herself but got her answer when her little sister fell on her knees heaving a little from what she saw along with tears coming down her horror stricken eyes
"Ruby, take a deep breathe okay." Weiss said in an extremely concern tone as she with the help of Yang moved Ruby gaze into Weiss's who at the moment were doing slow breathing movements
"Just follow Weiss okay Ruby, just breath." Blake added in as she rubbed Ruby's back for comfort along With Yang who was stroking Ruby's hair to help her calm down as well
"Is Ruby alright?!" Ikail asked as she released her hands from Donald and Goofy's eye along with Guin who did the same with Hercules
"Ruby what's wrong?!" Hercules asked in a panic as he knelt down to her eye level
"Anything we can do to help girls?" Goofy asked in a worried tone
"Can I use a healing spell maybe?" Donald asked as he gave Ruby a sad look
"No its okay Donald, she just need to calm herself down. But thank you for the concern." Yang said with a small smile
"Are the rest of you feeling any better?" Guin asked as he noticed that the girls had looks of horror on their faces from Dante's fight
"Yeah… we're just shocked that happened….like really shocked." Weiss replied back while Yang and Blake slowly nod agreeing with her
"Take heart then young ones, this is the reality of battle at times." Guin said with a sympathetic tone
"We…we know Guin….I….I just hope we don't have to see that again." Ruby said as she had finally calmed herself down and gave a weak smile to everyone else to show she was better
"Ruby I so glad you're okay." Weiss said with a joyful tone as she hugged Ruby who hugged her back as well
"Well isn't that just sweet." Ikail muttered as she and the rest couldn't help but smile a little at Ruby's and Weiss moment. It didn't last long though when a light shined for a moment to the right of them and when it died down, it left a wounded Dante in its wake
"I do apologize for intruding girls, but I could use some slight treatment right about now." Dante joked with a small smile but only for him to start coughing up a little more blood as he tried to stand back up. He didn't do so well as Dante a moment later fell onto his knees once more, but Ikail and Goofy caught him in time
"Easy there Dante, no need to strain yourself." Ikail said
"Thank you Ikail." Dante reptile back as she and Goofy set him down on one of the stone seats
"Donald get over here, Dante is going to need a few healing spells." Goofy said as Donald ran over to Dante
"Alright Dante you'll feel better in a few seconds." Donald said as he pulled out his wand "Heal!" he yelled out as a green aura formed around Dante healing his more serious wounds fully, but only cleaning up his more minor cuts
"Thank you Donald, you are a life saver." Dante said with a grateful smile before he turned his attention over to the girls "I do apologize you had to see me do what I did to Francesco." He said to the girls with a frown now as he could tell this was probably their first time they saw battle like this
"It's okay Dante… we're just not use to seeing that is all." Ruby said as she took a shaky deep breath
"And I hope you four never will have to again." Dante said in a very grim tone
"SO…anyways, you can do magic Dante?" Yang asked as she wanted to get everyone off their current subject as soon as possible
"Yes I can, if I'm going to be honest I actually forgot I could." Dante answered back with an amused look on his face
"How can you forget you can do magic?" Weiss and Donald asked together asked baffled by that fact
"I usually use my scythe and cross most of the time, so I tend to forgot easily that I have magic capabilities." Dante answered back with an even more amused tone
"You know Dante, I'd say you're crazy. But then again this whole situation is a lot crazier." Hercules joked as he and the others began to laugh, though the happy moment was cut short as they heard the disguised Hades speak once more
"Alright then, you all have used up your break time, now onto the next round and I know who just to pick." The man said as he snapped his fingers once more and with a quick poof Donald, Goofy, Ikail, Guin and Hercules we're summoned into the arena
"HEY WHAT The HECK DUDE, WHAT ABOUT US!" Yang yelled out as she, Ruby, Weiss and Blake were also somewhat ticked off that they weren't fighting along with their friends
"Oh don't worry Keyblade Wielders, you four are all going last…I have a special surprise for you all but you'll just have to wait. Now then let's start this round off with heartless!" Hades said as he snapped his fingers once more to reveal a large four dozen squad of Shadows, Soldiers, Large Bodies, Wizards and a new heartless that a triangular brown hat that had googles and a small propeller on top of it. The thing also was shirtless but had the same red and black heart symbol on its chest, it had red nailed claws, two metal bracelets on its' wrist, a pair of black pants with light brown need pads and two brown boots with a blue toed front. Lastly it had two wings on the backs, the girls wonder what this heartless was called, but the voice like before whispered 'Air Solider' into their minds.
"I hope they make it…" Blake said in a worried tone
"Hey we just need to keep faith in them okay." Yang said as she wrapped her arm around Blake who herself then rested her head on Yang's shoulder as a way of comforting one another from their worried
"Yang is right Blake, we just need to keep our faith in them. I know they can do it, isn't that right Dante?" Ruby said happily as Dante close his eyes and nodded in agreement as he was half awake and couldn't talk much from his exhaustion he was feeling now
"Still I wonder what we'll have to face." Weiss asked out loud as she shiver for a slight second, but she suddenly felt a warm feeling on her hand and looked to see Ruby had wrapped her hand with her's. Weiss then looked up at Ruby who was smiling at her
"It's so that you'll know that whatever we face, I'll be by your side the whole way Weiss." Ruby explained with her smile rowing wider. Weiss heart raced but she paid no mind to it as she just smiled widely back at Ruby while silently counting her blessing of all the friends she had made and also that she was given the chance to meet Ruby
"Alright everyone let round two BEIGIN!" Hades yelled out as the Guin, Ikail, Donald, Goofy and Hercules charged the heartless. Dante just did a silent prayer while the girls sat in silence watching their friends battle now and waited for their turn next
-Meanwhile Back in Travers town-
"Mira are you alright, you've been just sitting there for the past hour?" Yuffie asked as she, Aerith and Glynda all we're now inside the green room of the motel having more bonding time
"I am, I was actually thinking of a man I knew before I arrived here." Mira answered getting a smirk from Yuffie
"Oh, was this guy special to you at all? I mean I know you said you only feel love but what I'm trying to say was if this guy was more special to you if you get what I'm saying?" Yuffie asked with a very wide smirk now
"Yuffie I don't think it's nice to ask someone we just met about their love lives." Aerith said with a scolding but kindly sounding tone
"Hey I'm just asking is all, if she doesn't want to tell me then she doesn't have to." Yuffie said in a voice that match Glynda's voice almost perfectly
"Why did you just say that impersonating my voice?" Glynda asked in confusion but also slight annoyance
"Because I can and because you seem like the type of woman who would say that. Me I just wanted to see the look on your face is all." Yuffie answered with a mischievous grin
"What are you, five years old? Because that's not how girl in your age be behaving." Glynda rep8iled back with a slight frown now –"Still team RWBY acts like that in some ways…huh why haven't I ever actually noticed that until now?" –
"Well while Glynda is do her self-thinking, could you answer my question about that guy you we're talking about?" Yuffie said as with a more innocent smile now
"Yuffie." Aerith said as she shook her head a little at Yuffie's childish behavior
"I guess I can, like I told you all before; I do feel love but it's more of a caring love. But when it comes to him…well I feel weird in my chest and I feel weird in my mind. Like it's on fire but that cannot be the case. Do you know why I feel this way, do any of you know?" Mira said as Yuffie though it over for a second
"Hm... well I'd say you have feelings for him, whoever his is. How about Aerith, what do you think?" Yuffie said as Aerith thought about it for a few seconds
"I would say you are correct with that assumption Yuffie. Mira you may not understanding but I think you fell in love with the man you speak of with even knowing it." Aerith answered with a smile "What do you think Glynda?" she asked but noticed Glynda was muttering to herself now
"Let me handle this." Yuffie said with a mischievous smirk as she walked up behind Glynda
"Yuffie what are y-" Aerith asked with a worried look on her face and got her answer as Yuffie used her index fingers and quick poke Glynda sides making the woman jump up from her seat in sudden shock of the playful attack
"What, who, were?!" Glynda asked as she looked around only to see Aerith shaking her head in slight disappointment, Mira who was just confused by what just happened and Yuffie on the ground laughing her butt off from Glynda's reaction "I'm guessing little Miss Yuffie had something to do with it?"
"Sorry about that, Yuffie can a handful at time." Aerith replied back with an apologetic nod
"That's alright, not your fault for that way miss troublemaker here acts." Glynda said back getting a laugh out of Aerith and a slight pout from Yuffie
"Here let me help you up Glynda." Mira said as she walked over to Glynda and gave her a hand up
"Why thank you Mira, but can I ask why I received a sudden side poke from you Yuffie?" Glynda asked out of curiosity sakes
"Oh right, well me and Aerith here wanted to ask your opinion on something after I ask her opinion on that something else that I had originally asked Mira." Yuffie answered with a wide smile
"Okay first off please speak clearer so I can understand what you're talking about and two what is this something you're talking anyways?" Glynda asked with a raised eyebrow
"Fine sorry, but it all just has to do with Mira and her confusion on her feelings for a man she knows." Yuffie explained
"Oh so you have a special someone yourself then Mira?" Glynda asked with a small smile as she felt happy that the girl had someone special in her life
"No exactly like the way you would put it, but I just feel really weird in the chest when I speak with him, maybe it started when he gave me this…" Mira said as she pulled out from her hair a small hair pin that made completely out of metal and had beautiful engravings on it
"That is a nice hair pin Mira, you must really like him then to be keeping this." Aerith said happily
"I…I guess, but are you all sure I do like him in the way you say I do?" Mira asked as she herself didn't think it was possible since she herself never really understood love in the first place
"I would say Yuffie and Aerith are correct on that assumption, as am I now that I see how you look at the hair pin and how you get shyer when you talk about this mystery man you know." Glynda added in as Mira just nodded
"Hey just in case he's here somewhere, what would his name be anyways?" Yuffie asked
"Oh right, well his name is Vladimir but don't let the name fool you. Vladimir is actually the kindest hunter I've met in my life time." Mira added as her chest felt the beat again when speaking of the man
"Hm that's an interesting name. I'm sure he'll be happy to see you if we find him. I'm also sure he'll think you look pretty cute in your current attire to." Yuffie joked as Mira just nodded shyly
"You know this is pretty fun." Aerith said
"What are talking about Aerith?" Glynda asked
"I mean what we're doing right now, just talking and making friends with one another." Aerith answered
"Yeah I guess it is, I don't usually get time to do this stuff since I got older." Glynda said with a small smile now
"I think it's nice, I may not be able to show it but I'm….I'm g…gla…glad to have come and get to know you all." Mira said with some issues saying the word glad since she never really used it to describe how she herself is feeling
"Buddies forever girls!" Yuffie said as she wrapped her arms around Glynda, Aerith and Mira in a big hug
"I guess then we are Yuffie." Glynda replied back with a smile while Aerith giggled and Mira just nodded though their happy moment was put on halt as then suddenly heard a loud roar
"RAARRARARAR!" the unknown roar screamed out loudly noting that it was at the moment in an aggressive state of mind
"That came from the front of the hotel, come on ladies lets go see what's out there and put a stop to it!" Glynda said as she ran out of the motel room, followed by Aerith and Yuffie and Mira who just walked out since she knew she couldn't really be much of help in a fight
-Outside the Hotel, in the plaza a few seconds later-
"Where could the source be?!" Glynda yelled out as she Aerith and Yuffie looked around bout could not spot the source of the yell anywhere
"It's over there with a….oh no…" Mira said as she caught up with the others and pointed the source of the roaring the center of the plaza, but what it was, wasn't a heartless but something else that she knew came from her world
The creature in question was tall, had wolf like legs, long skinny arms, a tattered blue coat with tattered brow pants, had gray skin, long wild red hair and a bread that cover it's face but only showed its dark eyes and jaw. It carried a long hilt less cleaver that was jagged and was at the moment about to strike a young girl who from what they could tell at their distance was a young pale skin girl with silver hair tied in a bun but with a few stands pointing out, purple eyes, wore a purple dress with black lacing at the bottom along with a short black jacket that covered her shoulders, two black stocking and black shoes. The strangest thing about the girl was that she didn't have a look of fear on her face, no she didn't have a look of any sort of emotion at all on her face as the monsters blade came ever so closer to her
"NO!" Glynda yelled out in a panic as without thinking about it she somehow got the speed to quickly run at the creature and give it a good kicking the face, pushing the creature back a few inches
"Are you alright!" Yuffie yelled out as she, Aerith and Mira this time ran up next to Glynda
"I'm fine, but that was stupid of me to do." Glynda said as she scolded herself for doing a very risking move just then "But right now we got to take down whatever this thing is." she said pulling out her cattle whip while Yuffie pulled out a kisaragi and Aerith pulled out a metal staff
"Mira can you keep the girl safe with you while we take care of this thing?" Yuffie asked
"Yes I can but-" Mira said but was cut off as Yuffie, Glynda and Aerith charged the beast "Never mind, come girl let me take you somewhere safe."
"Okay…" The girl said as she took Mira's hand then and was lifted up
"Do not let go, understand?" Mira asked
"Yes I understand." The girl said with her monotone voice as she and Mira walked over a few feet away from the fight that was currently going on which for the most part was already going bad in the short time it had taken to start
"Damn, this thing can hit hard!" Glynda said as the creature looked weak from it appearance, but that was far from the truth as she had already gotten a few got cuts from the things blade. Thankfully her Aura plus Aerith's healing spell had taken care of the wounds
"YOU'RE TELLING ME!" Yuffie yelled out as she did a quick 'Fire' spell on the thing's face. It did some damage but Yuffie then had to block the blade that came at her which pushed the girl a few inches back "Any idea on how to get a good shot on this monster?"
"Can't say, looks like it just tanks through the pain." Aerith said as she casted a few more healing spells on Yuffie
"Less talking girls and more fighting!" Glynda said as she was about to active her semblance, but to her surprise I didn't work "What in the world?" She asked in shock but was hit in the side by the blunt end of the beast blade sending her against a wall to the right of her hard
"GLYNDA!" Yuffie yelled out but was as she ran to Glynda but was kicked hard in the stomach by the beast as she was sent flying right into Aerith and then into a wall behind them both very hard, knocking both girls out
"YOU MONSTER!" Glynda yelled out as she tried to punch the beast but she was kicked in the stomach making her cease her assault and cling to the pain in her stomach, then the beast raised his blade to deal the finishing blow
"I have to help them somehow…." Mira said as she began to get back up but was stopped by the girl they had save as she simply nodded her head no
"Do not worry about them, two more allies are coming to kill the beast." The girl said much to Mira's confusion until she saw a blue orb on top of the roof that looked as if we're made of water. Then Mira noticed the girl was bare footed now and had place her feet in a somewhat filled puddle next to them
"Are you controlling the orb?" Mira asked
"Yes and like I said two allies are coming in three…two…one…." The girls said slowly counting down with her fingers and a second later a howl of pure pain came from the beast. Mira looked to see that the Glynda had not been killed but was saved by two figure that Mira recognized… they we're two hunters. One was a woman in a black outfit with a crow like feather cape and a crow beak shaped mask along with a black wide edged hat. She was stabbing unique looking twin daggers into the monster skull. The other was a man with peach skin, blond hair and blues eyes, wearing a white cleric's outfit and smash his wheeled weapon called a Logarius Wheel into the beast sides. Both blows killed the beast easily but also let a shocked Glynda in it's wake
"Are you alright girl?" The woman asked as she offered a hand which Glynda took and let lift her back up to her feet
"Yes…I'm…I'm fine, thank you both very much for the assistance. But may I ask your names?" Glynda asked as she took a deep breath to regain her composure
"Why yes of course, you may call me Eileen and the young man next to is Alfred. Speaking of him give me a moment." The crow dress woman Eileen answer as she turned her attention over to the man Alfred only to smack him hard against the back of the head
"What in the world did do that for woman?!" Alfred yelled out as he rubbed his head
"That's for rushing in you stupid boy, your plan could have back fired and the girl here would probably be dead at the moment." Eileen yelled in a scolding tone
"Well it didn't, I know what I'm doing so back off." Alfred said as Eileen just sighed and shook her head
"Fine, but check on the other two and see if there awake yet." Eileen ordered as she turned back to face Glynda while Alfred went over to Yuffie and Aerith to see if they were alright but also complaining about why he was taking order from an old crow in the first place
"Um is everything alright?" Glynda asked as even if the woman Eileen had a mask on, she knew the look of a frustrated woman who has to deal with unruly youths
"Yes, just a disrespectful boy who seems to think he can take on more than he can chew. How he survived Yahrman I will never know." Eileen answered as she wondered how the youth had the gull to ignore the wisdom of their elders, the people who had YEARS worth more of experience than any of them put together
"I can relate, I'm a combat teacher back where I'm from and I have to deal with unruly students from time to time." Glynda replied back but then noticed that Eileen said something about Yahrman which was the same place Mira came from "If you don't mind me asking you said you and the young man Alfred are from Yahrman correct?"
"Yes, why do ask girl?" Eileen asked with slight curiosity
"Because we already had someone else come from Yahrman a while ago. She'll be glad I think to see you both." Glynda said as Alfred walked back up to them while supporting an injured but awake Yuffie with the help of Aerith who surprisingly wasn't injured as much and looked to be already healing up
"Aerith here is okay, Yuffie not so much." Alfred said on to get a light flick on the side of his head by Yuffie
"Hey I'm not dying bud alright, still I'm glad to see your alive Glynda." Yuffie said while Aerith nodded
"Same with you two as well, oh right Mira come on over." Glynda said as she motion Mira and the girl they saved over to them.
"I am glad you all are alive." Mira said as she and the girl walked up to them and then turned her attention over to Eileen and Alfred "And it is nice to see you two as well, even if it is not in the hunters dream."
"Same to you as well doll." Alfred said only to get a much more lighter slap across the head from Eileen
"She has a name now, use it." Eileen said as she nodded to her
"Right sorry about do- I mean Mira." Alfred said as he knew he'd have to get use to calling the doll Mira now so that he can avoid getting hit any further by the old crow next to him
"So I take it you know these two then?" Yuffie asked Mira
"Yes I do, they are hunters that have completed their contract with the hunters dream." Mira answered
"So they are contractors that have become forfeiters then?" The new girl asked
"No, wait who are you anyways?" Glynda asked as she along with the rest excluding Alfred and Eileen figured that the girl had just arrived in this world
"My name is Yin, but what do mean that they are not forfeiters. Then again may I ask where am I anyway?" The girl Yin asked with a disturbingly blank and monotone voice that was way too similar to Mira's own personality
"I have to ask that as well, Alfred and I only remember being swallowed up by a darkness. Then we arrived here." Eileen added in while Alfred nodded agreeing with Eileen's statement
"I see, was that the same for you as well Yin?" Aerith asked as all eye turned to Yin now
"Yes, I was relaxing with my friends Hei, Huang and Mao on one of our off days. I don't know why but a dark shroud appeared and then I remember waking up here only to be chased by the monster that was just killed." Yin explained
"You mean the man-beast form our world, I don't know how it got here but it was the only one here. You all should be safe now." Alfred explained
"Well thank you three for telling us, still if you all want to know where you are at now…well just follow us to into the hotel. We'll all get comfortable and then the girls and I can explain to you about the situation." Glynda said as Alfred, Eileen and Yin looked at one another before just nodding in agreement
"Sweet follow us then!" Yuffie said as she with the help of Aerith to move her lead the three newest members of the town to hotel room to explain what their new life for the moment would be. Glynda deiced to linger in the back as she stopped at the entrance of the hotel last to look up in the sky
"I just hope the girls are safe." Glynda muttered to herself as she just sighed then entered the hotel
-Meanwhile back with the group-
"And with that over the winners are (sadly) the keyblades wielders allies. Give them a big round of applause folks." Hades said as he snapped his fingers teleporting an exhausted Donald, Goofy, Ikail, Guin and Hercules back into the cage
"Are you all doing alright?" Ruby asked as she donned a look of concern on her face
"We're fine Ruby but thanks for asking." Hercules replied back
"That's good to know and I have to say that you all fought amazingly." Blake said next as she and the others had watched their friends battle with the heartless, Ikail did the best job getting the agro of the heartless on her while giving Guin, Goofy and Hercules the chance take out the stragglers nearest to them. Donald did excellent job healing up the Hercules, Goofy, Guin and especially Ikail during the battle while also throw out a few 'thunder" spell now and then. All in all their friends' battle had gone over well, unlike Dante who was still resting his wounded body from his round
"Thanks Blake, that mean a lot to us." Goofy said with a wide smile and Blake smile back
"Now's it's going to be our turn, I wonder what the cloaked man will have in store for us." Weiss said
"He did say he was saving a special surprise for us, so I'm going to take a guess that it will be hard fight." Yang answered with an amused smile
"Well whatever he's planning I know you'll kick some butt." Donald said with a prideful grin
"Thanks Donald." Ruby said gratefully but then Hades spoke once again
"Now then for the last round of this tournament I have the pleasure of introducing the new upcoming stars, the KEYBLADE WEILDERS!" Hades yelled out as Ruby, Weiss, Blake and Yang were blinded by smoke. Once they all opened their eyes they saw that they were now in the arena
"Alright mister creepy, tell us what we got to face. We'll kick its butt!' Ruby yelled out as she summoned her keyblades while Yang, Weiss and Blake did the same and also yelled out a prideful "YEAH" to enforced Ruby's statement
"Oh my, you girls really are feisty aren't ya? Since you ask nicely I'll show you, but let me just say my good associate who shall not be named had a slightly hard time containing and sending me these lovely specimens. But he did say that you all would have a…. nostalgic time with them." Hades answered as he snapped his finger and summon the creature that once seen made them all go wide eyed as the creature in front of them…we're Grimm
"Grimm…but how?" Weiss asked as she and others saw about a dozen Beowulf's, three Ursa's and boarbatusk which we're boar like Grimm that had long white horns, four eyes and like most other Grimm had the white skull mask. The horde of Grimm looked at the girls with red eyes of hatred for them as they knew huntresses when they saw them, even if they we're in a different world
"Well what are we waiting for, there just Grimm and we've dealt with them before." Blake said as she got ready for battle
"You got that right kitty cat." Yang teased as Blake blushed slightly form the nickname
"No time for flirting Yang, we got Grimm to beat." Weiss said as Yang now blushed a little from the accusation (which in a way was true) of what she had said
"Alright mister creep let's get this butt kicking show on the road." Ruby said prideful
"Fine then." Hades said a little annoyed now by the girl's upbeat attitude "LET THE LAST ROUND START!" he yelled out as the Grimm charged the girls in full speed
"ATTACK!" Ruby yelled out as she, Weiss, Blake and Yang ran now into the Grimm horde. Once they collided with each other the battle for the Grimm side was already a lost cause
As the battle started Weiss fired a barrage of ice spells aimed the three Ursa's which froze their feet to the ground making the large bears immobile while Ruby ran up to the Ursa's and bashed her Keyblade hard against the frozen Ursa's skulls taking them out in a few good seconds. On Yang's part of the battle a few Beowulf's were slashing at her but missing each time, just then a single boarbatusk did a spin charge at Yang, but she dodged just in time. Yang landed on her feet as the Beowulf's advance on her along with the re-charging boarbatusk, though within seconds as the boarbatusk charge her Yang got an idea. As the Boarbatusk came closer Yang held her Keyblade like a baseball bat and when the grim was right at her, she prepared her swing
"HOMERUN!" Yang yelled out as she swung he Keyblade against the boarbatusk which pushed the boar Grimm back at the Beowulf's taking out all the Grimm in front of her within seconds. A few more seconds later the out boarbatusk was taken care of as well once it hit itself hard against the colosseums walls
While that went on, Blake herself was dealing with a few Beowulf's and one Ursa. The Ursa charge Blake who jumped up in the air and swung down her Keyblade fast and hard against the top of the Ursa's skull doing an instant takeout as the Ursa laid on the ground. The Beowulf's seconds later charged Blake, but Blake threw her Keyblade right at the center Beowulf's face knocking the beast over but also gave Blake a pillar to jump on. Blake jumped on top of the falling Beowulf quickly then kicked the Beowulf to the left of her. Her Keyblade then swung back to her and within another three seconds Blake jumped off the Beowulf she was on but not before throwing her Keyblade at the Beowulf to the right of her taking that one out as well. Blake landed on her feet and caught her Keyblade, then she stood back up to see more Beowulf's advancing at her. Blake slowly walked back and hit the backs of Yang, Weiss and Ruby who all were now in a four way circle while waiting for the next Grimm to charge at any one of them
"So a little back to back fight huh girls!" Yang yelled out happily
"You bet you big sis!" Ruby replied back
"Focused, we're not done with the battle yet." Weiss said as with a small smirk
"Still I call this a one sided massacred for the Grimm." Blake joked getting a small laughed from the girls as then the Grimm charge from all four sides but only for the girls to knock them back with more force. As the battle continued the disguised Hades sat upon his chair waiting patiently for the Keyblade wielders to fall but his quiet time was interpreted by a man coming up from behind him and he knew who this man was
"Ah Cloud, you finally found you way here huh?" Hades said grinning under his hood
"No thanks to your instruction Hades." The man said as his name was Cloud Strife, he was a young man with peach skin, light blue eyes, long very spiky hair, wore a red scarf that cover his mouth a neck, wore a blue sleeveless shirt, navy blue pants, brown shoes, had a red tattered caped, wore two brown gloves but had the left glove adorned with golden claw like finger guards and one black devils wing on the left side his back. His most notable feature though was his buster sword which was a red hitless great sword wrapped in bandages and was around five feet long in length. "So are those the girls you wanted me to deal with?"
"Yes that would be them." Hades answered but noticed Cloud chuckled a little "What's so funny?"
"I just find it hilarious that the lord if the underworld needs help to take down four little girls, this wasn't a part of my cont-" Cloud said but was cut off by a very annoyed Hade
"I KNOW WHAT THE CONTARCT SAY I WORTE IT UP…look kid if you can take these girls out for me then I'll help you find you know who for you." Hades said
"Fine, but only because I need help to find …him." Cloud said with a hint of anger in his voice
"Good, very good. Still we'll have to wait until there done with the beasts down there and that might take a while." Hades joked
"Actually I don't think we'll have to wait that long." Cloud said as Hades turned his head to see that the four keyblades wielders had already taken out all of the Grimm in the short time Cloud and him we're talking. This would have infuriated Hades but he didn't show it if it did.
"I see…well then cloud get down there. I'll start your match with them a minute or two." Hades said as Cloud just shrugged and began making his way down to the arena "Alright then Keyblade wielders are ready for more?"
"What the heck do you mean more!" Weiss yelled out in frustration
"You heard me, you four will be fighting a champion of mine, so you all ready?" Hades said as he waited for the girl looked to one another
"Yeah we are, just get on with it!" Yang yelled back
"Then let it be, so hello to your next opponent." Hades said as he took a deep breather "I'd like to introduce a man who is fierce in battle and cold in his heart. Ladies and gentleman give up for CLOUD STRIFE." He yelled out as cloud entered the arena while the crowd cheered for him. Cloud took a few steps before stopping a foot or two away from the girls
"Um…nice blade mister." Ruby said awkwardly as she and the other readies themselves as Cloud just nodded and prepared his buster sword
"Alright then LET'S DO THIS!" Hades yelled out as the signal for the start of the battle as Cloud lunged at the group. Blake jumped in front of the girls and block Clouds blade pushing the man back a few inches away and Blake two inches back
"You have good instincts, now then let's see what your friends can do." Cloud said as a second later Yang began swiping at him with her Keyblade but Cloud swung his buster sword after the fifth swipe forcing Yang to dodge to the side
"HEY BUDDY MY TURN!" Ruby yelled out as she swiped at cloud from the back, but cloud already had saw this coming and quickly dodged under Ruby. When Ruby landed Cloud just used the back of his handle to smack Ruby in the back of the head, sending the girl on ground while also rubbing her pained inflicted head now
"You'll pay for hurting her!" Weiss yelled out as she got a few good hits on Cloud from the side, Cloud though quickly recovered and began swing his buster sword at Weiss with incredible speed. After a few dozen more strikes with Weiss dodging each one Cloud finally got one direct hit on her. But Weiss blocked the heavy hit with only a few seconds to spare as she now was struggling her Keyblade against Clouds Buster sword
"You're strong, but you're not going to beat me." Cloud stated as he began to gain the upper hand in the struggle but what confused him was that Weiss smirked at his comment
"Who said I had to beat you." Weiss said as from the side Cloud saw that the other three girls Ruby, Blake and Yang were charging at him and get closer very quickly
"You were just distracting me, smart." Cloud muttered as he back off of Weiss who seconds later began her charge at him "But not smart enough" he muttered once more as he swung his buster blade at just the right time to knock back every girl to the ground while he glowed a white light for only a few seconds
"Is…everyone…okay…" Ruby asked as she stood back up and looked around to see her friends we're okay for the most part but downed from the surprise retaliation
"You're the only one standing right now little girl, just give up and I'll make it quick I promise." Cloud said with slight sorrow in his tone
Ruby looked around at her injured friends and she began to feel anger in her, then she looked over to Weiss who was tearing up a little but still gave a small smile to Ruby. This made Ruby start to become very angered at Cloud as she began to feel a sudden surge of power in her
"No..." Ruby said in a quiet tone
"What?" Cloud asked as he kept his blade pointed at her
"No I won't let you take us out, we're here to protect this world and so many other from darkness...so no I will not BACK DOWN!" Ruby answered as she donned a sudden but all too familiar red aura around her and the within Seconds she had disappeared into thin air but left a trail of rose petals in her disappearance
"What in the-" Cloud muttered to himself but was cut off when he felt an intense bluntly force but on his right shoulder "UGH...what was that?!" He yelled out but got another sudden hit on his left leg this time
"I told you I won't back down." Ruby said from behind making Cloud turn to her sad she did the same disappearing act again
"How are you doing this?" Cloud asked as he search around for her but got another sudden feeling of pain all over his body this time -"she must have some sort of speed enhancement if I can-" he thought to himself but was cut off as he was forced to block a flurry of blows from Ruby and was being forced back
"I WON'T BACK DOWN!" Ruby yelled triumphantly as she dealt on last blow against Cloud and locked him out cold within seconds
"She used her Semblance, but how we haven't been able to use them since we got here." Blake said as she got back up now along with Yang and Weiss who were healing up already thanks to their auras
"Don't know myself Blake, but my little sister is just one surprise after another." Yang said happily
"She sure is Yang, she sure is." Weiss replied back with a small smile on her face
"You're all okay!" Ruby said as she ran up to the others with face of relief and received a friendly bop on the head
"Dolt remember we have our auras." Weiss said with an amused smile
"Oh right sorry." Ruby said as she rubbed her head more before truing her attention to the disguised hades "We beat your champion, now let the girl go."
"Fine then I will." Hades said as he snapped his finger and sent Meg and Cloud into the cage were the other were "But now you have to face my bonus round and the new captive is the lovely audience with us!" he yelled out as the audience were all now tied in rope's from their wrists and ankles
"You can't do that!" Blake yelled out in anger
"Oh but I can and I did. To make this much more risking I put it my own liberty to set some explosive barrels inside the stand themselves before anyone even got here. So if you don't beat this last opponent… well I guess they're going to be a lot of spirits going to the afterlife in droves." Hades answered with a quick chuckle
"Curse this foul man…. I guess we'll have to play his game then." Weiss said in annoyance
"So are you all ready for your final opponent then, because I got to say my supplier had much more trouble getting this thing here than those Grimm. So it would be a shame not to be able to us it." Hades asked
"Fine well do it but we want some back up." Ruby answered back
"Aright then, but you only get one of your companions to help out so who's it going to be?" Hades asked while the girl looked at one another and nodded in a silent agreement
"We already decided creepy, we choose Hercules." Yang yelled back
"Fine….then so be it." Hades said much to his own annoyance as he snapped his fingers summoning Hercules into the arena with them
"So you girls miss me?" Hercules joked getting a quick laugh out of the girls
"You know it Hercs." Yang replied back
"Are you up for this though?" Weiss asked
"I'm a hundred percent again, don't worry girls I'm up for the challenge." Hercules replied back proudly
"Now that you have you back up can we please start this already?" Hades asked a little impatiently
"Sure thing, I'm going to bet we're going to be facing a hydra or something." Hercules joked once more (Even if he had never seen a Hydra in his life)
"Actually I was planning on using one, but I remember those creatures can be easily tricked to getting their head's tied up you could say. But thanks to my generous supplier I got something maybe not as large as a Hydra but much more powerful." Hades said before taking a deep breather "LETS GET STARTED!"
"I wonder what we're going to have to face." Weiss asked out loudly as the others shrugged before they heard a loud thump on the ground in front of them showing a creature only nightmares could create.
"What…what is that…." Ruby said in horror as the creature had grey skin, was bone thin with a blood strained rib cages showing, had long blood stained claws, hind legs like a Beowulf, long and wildly grey fur growing from its back along with the growing wildly from left arm which seem to be the slightly larger arm on the creature. The head thought was the most terrifying as it was black moose shaped skull with two horns, no eyes, and a beard of some sorts and also had a set of very shape teeth
"SAY HELLO TO YOUR END, SAY HELLO TO THE CELTIC BEAST!" Hades yelled out as the Celtic Beast let out a deafening roar and charge the girls and Hercules who all got out of their shock and prepared for a fight
-Meanwhile with Vladimir back in the stands-
"How did I get myself into the situation?" Vladimir muttered to himself as he found himself bound by the ankles and wrist now along with a Celtic beast out of all things showing up and attacking the Keyblade wielders. He knew he had to help them but he didn't know if he could get out of the ropes in time before it was too late as the battle already seem to be in the Celtic Beast favor since the Keyblade wielders and their friend weren't getting any hits. They we're only able to dodge and block at the moment with no openings for an attack
"Ugh stupid ropes…" Said a woman next to him which turned out to be that same girl that told him about this place
"It's you, the girl that help me find this place, what are you doing here?" Vladimir asked
"I was just coming to see how many people showed up, then I ended up getting tied up just like you are everyone else here …I don't want to die." The girl said with fear in her voice
"You won't, I just need to get out of these ropes but I don't know ….wait a minute I think I can get out of these ropes." Vladimir said as moved his body a little to suddenly have a large counselled saw like weapon fell out of his coat and in front of the girl "Look I know your scared and it's okay to be scared but I need you to cut me out of this, can you do that for me?"
"Yeah… Yeah I can just give me a moment." The girl said as she fidgeted herself up to the blade and got a hold of it in her hands. The girl then moved up close to Vladimir and began to saw off the ropes on his ankles. Within seconds he was freed
"Good now do my wrist as well." Vladimir said as he flipped himself over to the girl who in a few seconds began cutting those ropes as well and within a few more seconds his wrists were freed.
"There you're freed now." The girl said happily as Vladimir picked up his weapon and stood up
"Thank you again miss, I would free you and the others here as well but I think you all will be safer here." Vladimir explained
"I understand, also the name's Anna. Now go help kicked that things butt mister hero." The girl Anna said
"I shall but I am no hero miss Anna. No the people down there are the hero's." Vladimir said as he ran to the edge of the stage and jumped into the Arena
"No you're wrong on that mister, you're a hero too…" Anna muttered as she along with the rest of the tied up citizens waited for the hero's to save them
-Three minutes earlier with the girls and Hercules-
"Why won't this thing just take a breather!?" Weiss yelled out as she dodged yet again another flurries of swings
"I don't know but we got to get a hit on it soon!" Blake answered back as she blocked a powerful blow from the Celtic beast which flung her on the ground a few feet away
"Blake you alright!" Yang yelled out in fear as she blocked a few swipes from the Celtic beast right claw now as well but got nicked a little in the side making Yang scream out in pain as she feel on her knee holding he somewhat blood stained cut
"YANG!" Ruby yelled out as she ran over to Yang "Are you alright?!"
"Yeah I'm fine just a cut…" Yang answered back with a small smile but only for her and Ruby to hear the Celtic beast roar once more before swing its fist at them. Thankfully Hercules, Weiss and Blake recovered quickly to just get in to Ruby and Yang in nick of time to block the creatures attack with their blades. But the Celtic beast wasn't done yet as it kept bashing at the three with more rage and speed in every hit
"Don't…think we can hold out…much longer." Weiss said through her teeth as she was using all of her strength right now
"Can't…let up…" Blake replied back as she grunted again form another impact
"We need to get a hit on this thing!" Hercules said as he was using all his strength right now to just block the thin creature extremely powerful blows. But as the Celtic beast now raised both of it arms up and was about to swing down with its top speed and power, but the blow never came and instant the Celtics beast let out a roar in pain as it fell on it's left knee
"Who did that?!" Yang asked in shock as Ruby helped her up and both were extremely thankfully to have auras as their wounds were slowly healing up.
"I don't know?" Hercules replied back but only to get his answer as a man in black and holding a saw like weapon jumped over the beast back, landed in front of it's face and smashed the bladed end of his weapon into its face for a few seconds then he pulled the blade out making the Celtic beast back off in pain as it held it's damaged face now
"Who are you?" Ruby asked as she and other became somewhat weary of the man, but the man held his left hand up in an "I come in peace" sort of way
"I am your friend Keyblade wielders, my name is Vladimir and I am a Yahrman hunter. This is beast from my world but enough talk right now. I believe our friend is getting ready to attack once more." Vladimir said as he and the other looked at the Celtic beast looking at them in rage "May I ask for your assistance in taking this monster down?"
"You already help us, we'll help you now." Blake answered as the other nodded
"Very well, follow my lead and hit it when I got it's attention on me." Vladimir said as pulled out into his left hand a blunderbuss and with his right and flicked his blade which extended into a long saw he ran up to the beast. He then ran at the beast
"Well you heard the man, let's take this thing down team RWBY style!" Ruby yelled out as she and the other followed quickly behind Vladimir. Meanwhile Hades was having his own dilemma now
"WHO IN THE WORLD IS THAT!" Hades yelled out as his cloak caught fire burning it to a crisp "PAIN, PANIC GET IN HERE!"
"Oh u-um yes your lordness?" Panic said as he and Pain came up from behind Hades, but they were lifted up by the tail as their eye's meet hades
"I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU TO MAKE SURE NO ONE INTERFEARS WITH THIS!" Hades yelled out
"W-we did sir honest..." Pain replied back fearfully while Panic franticly nodded
"THEN WHO IS THAT SMUCK HELPING THOSE BRATS!" Hades answered back as he held them over the cliff by the tail showing them the new comer
"We don't know sir, but he doesn't look like anyone from this place, please you have to believe us." Panic said as Hades let their tails slip just a little
"Please believe us mighty Hades, this may have gone south but I'm sure you can f-find another way of taking out the Keyblade wielders." Pain said as he and Panic shivered in fear, but only for them to be thrown against the wall behind Hades
"I guess you're right on that. Pain, Panic go back to the underworld and get my pawns ready. I'll release these people since I have no use for them now." Hades said as he snapped his fingers which released the citizens from their confinement while Pain and Panic disappeared in some "Just you wait brats, I'll take you out sooner or later that's a promise." He said as he now vanished into thin air now, meanwhile the girls, Hercules and their newly meet friend Vladimir we're beating down the Celtics beast now with relative ease
"We're almost there, just on last blow should take this thing out!" Vladimir yelled out but only for him to hit swatted against the wall behind him
"Vlad!" The girls all yelled out in worry as they suddenly were swatted against the wall as well
"GIRLS!" Hercules yelled out but was cut off as he dodged a swipe form the Celtic Beast
"Hercules you got to take that thing out now!" Weiss yelled out as Hercules dodged another swipe
"You can do it Hercules, you're the son of Zeus remember!" Ruby yelled out next as Hercules dodged yet another swing but smile at Ruby's and the other girls along with the rest of the group in the cage cheers for him
"KID GO FOR THE FINAL HIT!" Yelled out Phil who had finally made it the colosseum and was standing in the stands now
"Your all right, I AM A HERO!" Hercules yelled out as he ran to the Celtic beast and dodged all of it's swipes at him. Once he was close enough the Celtic beast was about to do one last blow but Hercules was quicker as he jumped in the air and did one final slash and then landed on his feet behind the beast
"Did he do it?" Yang asked as she along with everyone else in the Colosseum looked to see that Celtic beast turn around and look at Hercules who he himself turned around to look at the beast. A few seconds past and then finally the Celtic beast fell face first on the ground truing into nothing but silver mist then the mist despaired showing that Hercules had won
"I…I did it…" Hercules said with a smile as he looked around to only hear silence but then he beagn to hear clapping coming from Phil
"YOU DID IT KID YOU DID IT!" Phil yelled out in joy as he clapped even louder now
"HE DID IT!" Ruby yelled out clapping now as well
"HE BEAT THE MONSTER!" Yang yelled out next clapping now too
"HE HELPED SAVE THE GIRL!" Blake added in now clapping as well
"AND HE SAVED EVERYONE HERE!" Weiss yelled out clapping extremely fast as she and the other girl ran up to him
"THREE CHEERS FOR YOU HERO, HERCULES!" Vladimir said next as he walked up to Hercules now as well and clapped too, then suddenly the citizen began clapping one by one until the whole stadium was clapping and cheering out Hercules name in joy
"HERLCUES, HERLCUES!" The citizen yelled out in joy
"You did it Hercules, you took your first step into being a hero." Phil said as he made his way down to Hercules now as well
"Thanks." Hercules said but was licked in the face by Pegasus "And thanks you as well buddy."
"Let's not forget the girls did well also." Ikail said as she, Guin, a more recovered Dante, Donald, Goofy, Rita, Lara and Meg ran up to them
"Thanks Ikail." Ruby said happily
"It's true, I take back what I said about your combat skills when we first met." Dante said next with a wide smile
"Thank you as well Dante." Weiss replied back
"Oh boy, we saved everyone!" Donald cheered
"Gawrsh we sure did!" Goofy said next cheering with Donald now as well
"We also couldn't have achieved this without the help of our new friend here." Guin said as all eyes turned to Vladimir
"It was of no problem, I was glad to help the fellow keyblades wielders." Vladimir said
"How do you know about them anyways?" Donald asked
"In my world, very old books spoke of them. I was trapped on this world with no way out until I saw you all in the forest." Vladimir said much to the other surprise
"Then why didn't you just talk to us then?" Ikail asked
"I don't trust most people easily, I wanted to ask though but whenever you all get off this world. Maybe…maybe I could come with you so that I may find a better world to stay at, would you know of any?" Vladimir explained
"Actually we do, Traverse town has all sort of refuges there. I'm sure you'll be welcomed. Are you oaky with that?" Blake answered with a small smile
"Yes thank you very for your kindness, as a way of repaying you all for this I shall lend you services until we get to this Traverse town you speak of." Vladimir said
"Sounds good to us, welcome to our little group." Ruby replied but then she noticed something "Het were is that Cloud guy we fought?"
"Don't know, when the cage disappeared he just walked off with even tell us why. But I'm sure we'll see him again." Ikail answered back as rest of the group just shrugged, then turned back to embrace the cheering citizens
-Two days later-
"Two days had passed an-"
"WHOA, hold on there mister writer, you told the readers you we're going to put us in and this would be best time to do it. Don't you agree girls?" said a tall, thin woman in a white toga, with dark skin, brown eyes and long hair in bun at the top making it look sort of like a cloud. This was one of the muses named Calliope who was the leader of the group and the Muse of epic tales
"You said it and we get to sing about mister Hunk-ules himself!" Replied a woman with dark skin, brown eyes, wide in the body, hand short hair with a tie single tie on top and was the shortest of the group this was Thalia the muse of comedy
"You got that right sister, but let's not forget the four adorable Keyblade wielders either." Said another woman with the same appearance as the last two muse but she was average in height, thin and had long curly hair that went down to her waist, this was Melpomene the muse of drama
"They are really cute aren't they, heck even their friends are cute as well…especially that Dante fellow." Said another woman with yet again the same appearance as the other muses expect she had frizzy wild hair and a slightly more….reveling toga. This was Terpsichore the muse of dance
"Don't try anything with him sister, he's a taken man. Still the Keyblade wielders and their friends have help make history with our boy Hercules." Said the last muse as she like all the other had the same appearance except she had a pony tail and carried around a scroll. This was Clio the muse of History
"They all sure have, now then mister writer we'll take over from here." Calliope said with a wide smile
"Well alright then ladies and sorry for not being able to put you gals in the last two chapters."
"Oh sugar it's alright, now lets us do are thing." Thalia replied back with a grin
"You knock em dead ladies."
"Now then viewers for those who don't know who we are, we are the muses. The teller of tales of this wonderful world. Right now I and the girls are going to be giving you a lovely song about our boy Hercules so get ready for some singing." Calliope said happily as she and the other mused got into a line and took a deep breath "A one, a two, a one-two and HIT IT!"
(SONG TIME!)
"Bless my soul
Herc was on a roll
Person of the week in every Greek opinion poll
What a pro!
Herc could stop a show
Point him at a monster and you're talking S.R.O." The muses sung as Ruby, Blake, Weiss, Yang and Phil all were happily holding up signs that said 'Get your Hercules Autographs toady!' on them while Guin, Dante, Donald, Goofy and a confused Vladimir made sure to let only a certain amount of people get Hercules auto graph at a time. What confused the whole group was that it was being done with a stone and pick…still they we're happy to help Hercules out. Meanwhile Hades was in the underworld planning on the next creature to send to attack Hercules mainly since he was the major target to getting in the way of his plans. Hades picked a giant black boar with a blue Mohawk to attack
"He was a no one
A zero, zero
Now he a hot shot
He's a hero
He was a kid with his act down pat
From zero to hero in no time flat
Zero to hero just like that!" As the muses sung said Boar monster was now attacking the citizens of Thebe's, the gang were able to hold off the beast as the citizens made a run for it. Hercules then popped out from the group with a bow and shoot an arrow into the beast taking it down for good while the citizens along with the group yet again cheered for Hercules. Meanwhile once again in the underworld Hades was throwing a fit as he threw the pieces of several new monster that had been defeated by Hercules and the others as he was now running out of monster to send
"When he smiled the girls went wild
With oohs and ahhs
And they slapped his face on ev'ry vase
(On every vahse)" The muse continued singing as Hercules was in a chariot being paraded around the city while the whole group made sure none of his insane fan girls got to close to him which was easy with Lara and Rita especially being there as they would pretend to be calm and cool until one girl would come up to close and the twin dragons would roar loudly scaring said girl away, this got a laugh out of the twin dragons, Pegasus, Ruby, Yang and Ikail. While the others just thought of it as a bit mean to do. During this Thalia was in the crowd holding a vase of Hercules lovingly, Clio who was with her correct Thalia that it was pronounced vahse and not Vase, Thalia didn't care and shrugged.
"From appearance fees and royalties
Our Herc had cash to burn
Now nouveau riche and famous
He could tell you what the Grecian "earn"!" While the muse sang more, it turned out that Hercules had to get his own personal vault as gold was being given to him by the thousands on a daily basis's. By the end of the next two days mountains of gold were seen as Ruby, Blake and Yang along with a forced Weiss slid down the mountain of gold while the other watched amused at their antics. Eventually that later day a statue was built in Hercules honor along with a store that sold his merchandise which brought in even more gold.
"Say amen
There he goes again
Sweet and undefeated
And an awesome 10 for 10
Folks lined up
Just to watch him flex
And his perfect package packed a pair of pretty pecs" A while later the muse continued with the song, Hade had decide to send a large lion to fight Hercules…that didn't work out as Hercules just punched the lion in air and through fork like goal
"GOAL!" the girls yelled out while the others just held up signs with the a large ten on them for a perfect score, this made even more people run to the Hercules store wanting to get his merchandise now while Thalia popped out of nowhere with a doll of him and pull the arms back making the chest arena enlarging like it flexed
"Hercie, he comes, he sees, he conquers
Honey, the crowds were going bonkers
He showed the moxie, brains, and spunk
From zero to hero
A major hunk
Zero to hero
And who'd have thunk?" The Muses continue to sing while Hercules was flying up in the sky on Pegasus as he was fighting yet again another one of Hades creature, this one being some sort of bird like creature with red eyes, small wings and razor Sharpe teeth. The battle didn't last long as about three minutes later the bird monster ended up in a large bird cage, the crowd cheering for him along the whole group who we're ever happier for Hercules continues victories. A while later again Hercules was seen taking down a sea serpent with just one grab of the neck and he threw that creature to who knows where. The girls were with him at the time and had set up a stand…
"That's right everyone, come get portrait with the hero who just took down the sea serpent!" Yang yelled out
"I feel kind of wrong taking these people money just for a portrait." Ruby said as she and Blake we're holding out bags to fill up with gold
"I'm kind of starting to feel that way to…" Blake replied as she had noticed that this was being a reoccurring thing
"Don't feel so glum girls, this will help Hercules financially in the future." Weiss said with a smile while both girls just shrugged. Meanwhile in the under worlds hades was fuming yet again as the piece with the sea serpent melted in his hand
"Who put the "glad" in "gladiator"?
Hercules!
Whose daring deeds are great theater?
Hercules!
Is he bold?
No one braver!
Is he sweet?
Our favorite flavor!" The muses we're having the time of their lives singing this song, The whole gang, Hercules, Phil, Pegasus, Rita and Lara we're attending a play of the reenactment of their whole battle and it was pretty accurate for the most part. A little while later the girls and Phil were waiting for Hercules to get done with his drinking advertisement for a new beverage, this is were Ruby, Blake, Weiss and Yang began to notice the change in Hercules attitude to whole hero thing
"Hercules, Hercules
Hercules, Hercules
Hercules, Hercules" The Muses began to sing louder and quicker now as Hercules daily life for the next few days we're more advertisements of his, more merchandise being sold and all the while the whole group stood by his side to help through it all. His parent even got their farm upgrade to a mansion sized home along with the cart they used to carry the hay replaced by a cart made from pure gold itself.
"Bless my soul
Herc was on a roll
Undefeated
Riding high
And the nicest guy
Not conceited" The Muses were now enthralled with the singing while Hades still did not give up his plan to take out Hercules as he sent more and more monster at him, but every one of them was defeated along with the help from the group as well, Hades was getting more and more aggravated with each defeat
"He was a nothin'
A zero, zero
How he's a honcho
He's our hero
He hit the heights at breakneck speed!" The muses now were getting close to the end of their song, Hercules was still gaining popularity with his heroics feats from plugging up an erupting volcano with a large boulder. Hercules gain so much popularity that people would at night when he flew on Pegasus in the nights sky's along with the girls who rode on Lara behind him, they would go so fast at times that they constellations look like they would move from the sheers speed
"From zero to hero
Herc is a hero
Now he's a heroooooooooo oh yeah
Yes indeed!" The muses we're finally at the final course as Hades was now being infuriated and stress out from every one of his monsters being take down by Hercules for the most part along with the pesky Keyblade wielder and their friends as times. Meanwhile Hercules was now doing cement hand prints and signing his name in it along with the girls who we're given the honor to do so. As Hercules and the gang all though of the events that had been happening the past days they all knew one thing, right now at the moment life was as peaceful as it was going to get…. They didn't know Hades final monster he would send was one they didn't expect
-Meanwhile with Hades-
"PULL!" Hades yelled out in anger as he was standing in a hidden ledge just above the city Of Thebe's. Pain heard Hade's and threw up yet again another vase with Hercules face on it, Hades threw a fire ball destroying it into many small pieces
"Nice shooting rex." Meg joked as she was sitting on the ground near him
"I can't believe this guy and those four brats, I throw everything I got at them and it doesn't even…." Hades said but was cut off when he heard a squeaking noise, he looked down at Pain "What are those?" he asked as pain was wearing a pair of Hercules branded sandals
"Um…I don't I-I though they looked kind of dashy." Pain said with a sheepish grin on his face
"I got twenty four hour left to get rid of this bozo and those other annoyances before the entire scheme I've been setting up for eight teen years goes up in smoke and you are wearing his MERCHANDISE!" Hades yelled out as he was yet again cover in the orange flames of rage and was about to lunged at a frighten Pain but was stopped when her heard the sounds of slurping, he turned to the source and was not pleased
"Eh….thirsty?" Panic said as it turned out he was drinking out of a Hercules brand drinking cup, it was a few second later Panic knew he messed up
"AHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHHA!" Hades yelled in pure rage as his body was now red hot and second later he vented out his explosion rage…literary
-With Ruby, Weiss, Blake, Yang and Hercules one minuet earlier-
"Thanks again girls for helping me out with this, and thank you Weiss for giving me this, what was this called again?" Hercules asked as he rubbing his hands with a cream Weiss gave him to keep his hands soft and callous free
"It's hand cream, strawberry flavor scented as well. It's my favorite scent." Weiss said happily
"Weiss you do know my sister smells like strawberry's to right?" Yang said with a smirk as Weiss yelped a little in embarrassment
"What are talking about, no Ruby don't take what your sister saying the wrong way I am not a creep!" Weiss said in her defense with her cheeks blushing madly hoping Ruby didn't take that the wrong
"No, I understand I mean…I…I like strawberry's too so yeah that's all….yep." Ruby replied back as her hearted raced yet again and her face becoming red from knowing Weiss like the scent of strawberry's, which was the same scent she smelled like
"You two are way too cute when you're embarrassed!" Yang said laughing hard
"Yang you're so cruel sometimes, but that's what I like about you." Blake said with a smirk and a slight blush while Yang stopped laughing and smile back at Blake
"Thanks Blakey." Yang said with a slight blush from looking into Blake's eyes
"So…. here's your cream back Weiss." Hercules said somewhat feeling awkward right now
"OH, um thank you Hercules." Weiss said getting out of her stupor but was startled along with the others and a few civilians heard a very loud explosion but did not see where it came from
"What was that?" Ruby asked looking around now
"Can't say but it sounded like an explosion." Yang answered
"Or a rock falling down too." Weiss added in
"Could be but no harm has been done so I wouldn't worry about it." Blake said next as she, the girls and Hercules just shrugged and went back to just talking once again
-Back with Hades-
"My oh my, someone seems to be losing their temper quick frequently as of lately." Maleficent said with a smirk as she walked through a dark portal behind Hades who was still smoking a little from his explosive venting
"Oh it's you, what do want?" Hades asked turning to face Maleficent with some annoyance
"I just wanted to check up on you Hades, I'm surprised you haven't been using the Heartless much." Maleficent answered with her smirk still plastered on her face
"Right, look I'm not stupid enough to use your heartless carelessly. I know what they do if people use them too often and I will gladly say I don't want to use your little pets much." Hades replied back "Now if you don't mind I'm trying to figure out how to take out those brats and Hercules, only problem is ever monster I send can't seem to the job so yes I'm busy. But nice see you, next time just send a postcard if you want to check up with me."
"Fine be that way, still if I may give you a little piece of advice I would say maybe you're not using the correct monster at all." Maleficent said as she just shrugged her shoulder and walked back through the portal she had made which closed up once she disappeared in it
"Not using the right monster, right then what kind of…." Hades said but stop with wide eyes as he turned around and looked at Meg
"Hm looks like your games over, wonder boy is hit every curve your throwing at him." Meg said as with a smirk as she walked over the ledge and looked down with a small smile at the sight of Hercules
"Oh yeah..." Hades said as he chuckled a little with a vindictive smile "I wonder if maybe I haven't been throwing the right curves at him." He said as he moved over to Meg who lost her smirk realizing what Hades was talking about
"Hm…" Meg muttered to herself
"Meg my sweet?" Hades said as he patted her shoulder gently with a wide smirk now
"Don't even go there." Meg replied back as she got off from the ledge and walked away with her arms crossed
"You see he's got to have a weakness, because everybody has got a weakness. I mean for Pandora it was the box, for Trojans hey they bet the wrong horse okay. WE simply need to find out wonder boys weakness is." Hades said kindly as he placed his hand on Megs left shoulder
"I've done my part, get you little imp's too-" Meg said pushing away from Hades but was cut off by him
"Those two couldn't killing him as a baby." Hades said while Pain was rubbing his burnt foot and Panic had a can of soda "I need someone who can handle him as a… man."
"Hey I swore off man handling." Meg replied back turning her back on him
"Well that good because that's what got you in this jam in the first place isn't it, you sold soul to me to save your boyfriend life. Then how does this creep repay you, he does by just running off with some babe. He hurt ya real bad didn't he?" Hades said as he conjured up a small smoke version of her and a male figure only for the male figure to run off when another female figure walked by which left the Meg smoke figure on her knees in sorrow
"Look I learned my lesson okay." Meg said as she tried to hid the hurt in her voice
"I know which is why I know for sure you will leap at my new offer." Hades said with a wide smirk "You give me the key to taking down wonder boy there and I give you what you crave most in the entire cosmos…your freedom." he said as Meg looked wide eyed before facing Hades
"I…I…fine I'll do it, but don't you dare ask me to harm those girls with him. I told you before I may not care a lot about people but I am not a child killer." Meg said as she knew she was going to do this but also knew she would hate herself if her freedom meant kill those four young girls
"Fine, beside I'll deal with those four and their little group when the time come myself. So all you got to do is butter him up and learn about his weakness and once you do that well…I'll will give your freedom." Hades said with a very wide smirk now
"Deal, let just get this over with then." Meg said as Hades nodded with Pain and Panic leaving Meg all alone now
"I'm sorry…wonder boy." She muttered to herself before making her way down from the over watch with a heart filled with conflicting feelings
- (Time Gap) the day after with the gang and Hercules at the training Arena-
"Hey anyone else notice Hercules has been acting really energetic since last night?" Yang said as she and the other just rested on the stands watching Phil help Hercules with a few exercises
"I noticed that myself Yang, I wonder what it could be?" Vladimir replied back
"I think me, Donald, Goofy and Guin know." Ikail answered
"You do, how?" Dante asked
"Well while the rest of you taking a good night's rest me and the boys here we're helping Phil out with finding Hercs since he been missing for a few hours." Ikail explained
"Okay then, I'm making guess but he was with Meg correct?" Blake said with a small smile
"You would be correct." Guin replied back
"Yep, Phil wasn't too happy about it, so we got Hercules sent off back to his home." Donald said with a slight frown
"Something else happen, because I'm taking it from your facial expression something did?" Weiss asked
"Gawrsh, we only were told by Phil this but he said he overheard Meg talking with some weird guy about taking down Hercules." Goofy answered
"Seriously and you believe him fully?" Ruby said back with a giggle
"What's so funny Ruby?" Yang asked a little confused
"Well maybe he was just saying that so he could get more support to keep Hercs away from Meg." Ruby answered. "Besides Meg seems nice enough to me."
"Ruby why would Phil lie about that?" Ikail asked
"I don't I'm just saying is all, hey not to change the subject but have any of you seen Pegasus, Riata or Lara around today?" Ruby asked with concern
"Huh I haven't seen them at all now that I think of it?" Weiss replied back
"Same here, huh maybe there just napping." Yang said next
"Could be or there flying around in the sky right now for fun?" Blake added in
"But wouldn't we have heard them once toady at least?" Dante replied back bring up a good point
"True, I don't feel well about this." Guin said
"Aren't you getting a little paranoid now?" Donald asked with a raised eyebrow but before anyone else could ask they cut off
"SHE A FRAUD!" Phil yelled out at Hercules in anger
"I have bad feeling about this…" Ruby muttered to herself but was loud enough to be only heard by Weiss, Blake and Yang who slightly nodded agreeing with her
"Phil stop kidding around." Hercules said with a chuckle
"I'm not kidding around." Phil replied back
"Maybe we should stop them?" Goofy suggested
"It's could just make this situation worse." Vladimir replied back with a grim tone
"I know you're upset about last night but-" Hercules said with slight annoyance in his tone but was cut off by Phil
"Kid you're missing the point." Phil said with a concern look on his face
"The point is I love her." Hercules responded back starting to get a little aggravated now
"Hey guys maybe we should-" Weiss said but was cut off as well now as Phil yelled back at Hercules
"Well she don't love you back!" Phil yelled back
"Oh no, this is going to go down south now, hey boy just-" Yang said this time but was cut off by a now very annoyed Hercules
"You're crazy!" Hercules yelled back now as the other could feel something was about to happen
"Please guy no more-" Ruby said but was interrupted
"She nothing but a two timing!" Phil continued
"Phil stop!" Ikail yelled out by only deft ears
"Stop it!" Hercules yelled back now getting angrier
"Please stop this fighting!" Weiss yelled out now
"You both need to just chill out!" Yang yelled out next
"And Phil you're not helping with comments!" Blake yelled as well but it was too late as Phil next sentence broke the tension
"No good, lying scheming-" Phil yelled out once more and to his and other shock Hercules retaliated back
"SHUT UP!" Hercules yelled out as he smack Phil hard into a few weights
"Hercules why did you do that!" Ruby yelled out in shock as the other just looked at the situation now. A few seconds past until Phil slowly got back up
"Phil I'm sorry…" Hercules said
"I'm out of here…" Phil replied back as he beagn to exit the training yard which got the girl running up to him to stop him
"Phil where are you going!" Weiss yelled out
"Out of here…" Phil replied back
"You can't just leave!" Yang yelled out next
"Watch me." Phil said back as he was half way through the stadium
"FINE THEN I DON'T NEED YOU!" Hercules yelled out as he began lifting weights again
"Hercules how could you say that?!" Blake replied back in shock and as Phil was almost out of the exit they swore they hear Phil mutter to himself
"I thought you were going be the champ….not the chump." The girls hear Phil mutter as disappeared from the training yard
"Gawrsh should we go after him?" Goofy asked
"I don't think can right now." Guin answered
"Why?" Donald asked
"I think Guin is trying to say that right now the wounds are way too recent." Dante explained
"Oh…" Goofy and Donald replied back in a sad tone as the awkwardness of the situation was still sinking in for everyone there but the quite was disrupted by a new voice
"Geez louise what got his goat huh?" Said Hades as he was on top of a few of the training poles
"Who the heck is this guy?" Yang asked as she, the girls and the other walked up next to Hercules with much confusion as well
"Good question little blondie." Hades sad as he grabbed the center of the poles and swung around in a circle landing on the ground in front of them
"Ba boom, the name is Hade lord of the dead, how you all doing?" Hades said as he held his hand out
"This guy for real?" Ikail asked with a raised eyebrow
"I think he is Ikail." Blake replied back with an amused look on her face
"Look not now okay." Hercules said but Hades priested
"Hey now I only need a few seconds I'm fast talker, alright see I got this major deal in the works… a real estate venture if you would." Hades said with a wider grin
"Hey leave him alone, he doesn't want to talk now mister weirdo" Ruby said in a defensive manner
"Oh and look you must be one of the four Keyblade wielders, oh how cute it is to think you can intimate me." Hades said as he pinched Ruby cheek hard but Yang didn't like that
"Don't touch my sister!" Yang said as she threw he fist at him out of instinct but her fist went right through him like smoke
"And you must be another one, not the brightness I'm guessing." Hades replied back making Yang angrier
"Yang calm down, he's just trying to invoke you." Blake said as Yang took a deep breath and nodded gratefully to her
"And you're the third one, must be the secretive one am I right?" Hades said in a tone that made Blake a little nervous he was talking about her cat ears which made it even more bad on how he knew in the first place
"You really don't have the best social skills do you sir, look just leave us alone." Weiss replied back with a smirk
"Ah and you're the fourth Keyblade wielder, nice to meet you as well. But I got to ask, but how do you feel about the weakest link in your little group." Hades said with a sly tone
"What are talking about you-" Weiss said back but was stopped by Yang
"Like Blake said Weiss, he's just trying to eggs us on." Yang explained as she glared at Hades
"Guilty as charge ladies." Hades answered back with a smug look but turned into smoke a few seconds later as he dodge Dante slashing his scythe down "Whoa mister Templar, what's with the sudden hostility?"
"Seriously Dante what's up with that?" Ikail asked with a surprised look
"I do apologize but I don't care for Hades here or should I call you the clock figure back at the colossuses?" Dante said as the other looked at Hades with more annoyance
"So it was you wasn't it, the creep guy in the cloak?" Ruby asked
"Guilty as charged again." Hades replied back smugly
"Look can you tell us what you want with Hercs, because were not letting you near him?" Donald asked with much annoyance
"Well if I wasn't so rudely interrupted, I wanted ask I would be eternally grateful if Hercules would just take a day off from the hero business of his. I mean monsters and natural disaster Pff that can wait for a day." Hades said
"You're out of you mind." Hercules said but Hades knew what to say next
"Whoa not so fast because I have a little leverage, you might want to know about." Hades said as he snapped his fingers making Meg appear
"Meg!" Hercules yelled out
"Don't listen to h-" Meg said trying to warn Hercules and the others but was stopped as her body was tied in smoke whips along with her mouth covered shut
"Let her go Hades!" Ruby yelled out as she and the rest of the group pulled out their weapons and charge but were stopped a second later when a wall of blue fire cut off their way to Hades and Hercules
"No you all will stay right there." Hades said as he turned back to Hercules who charge at him but like with Yang attempt the same happen to him "Didn't you see you little blond friend do the same, oh well look here the deal. You give up your strength for twenty four hours, let's say the next 24 hours and Meg here is free as a bird and safe from harm, we dance, we kiss, we carry on and we go home happy what do you say?" He explained as he snapped his finger again to show Meg still tied up by the smoke but now was sitting in the seat of the training stadium still struggling to get out
"HERCS, YOU CAN'T TRSUT HIM ON HIS WORD!" Yang yelled out
"SERIOSULY HOW CAN YOU POSISBLY TUSRT THE WORLD OF THE LORD OF THE UNDERWORLD! Weiss yelled out next
"PLEASE DON'T DO IT HERCULES!" Blake yelled out as well with a pleading tone
"People are going to get hurt aren't they?" Hercules asked with concern
"Nah, I'm mean it's a possibility, it's war what can I tell ya?" Hades answered as he walked up to Meg and grabbed her face "What do you owe these people huh, isn't Meg your little smoochy here more important than they are?"
"Stop it!" Hercules yelled back as he didn't like Hades touching her face
"Well isn't she?" Hades asked with a more anger face as Meg tried to break free
"You got to swear she'll be safe from any harm." Hercules demanded
"HERCULES NO DON'T DO IT!" Ruby yelled out as tears began forming a little
"Alright fine you get that one, Meg here is safe and if any harm come to her you get your strength back just like that and all that. Why don't we shake on it?" Hades said as he held his hand out but Hercules was reluctant
"Look I'm really in a hurry here so Indeed and answer like now?" Hades said in annoyance as he kept his hand out "going once, going twice and…" he said while Hercules looked back to see the disagreeing nod from Meg and the pleads of nit to do from the others, but he already made up his mind
"Alright!"Hercules answered as he held his hand out
"YES, we have a deal!" Hades said as he grabbed Hercules and a bright blue light glowed from Hades while Hercules glowed red and started to feel weaker
"NOOO!" The girls all yelled out in shock while Meg was wide eyed along with Ikail, Donald, Goofy, Guin, Dante and Vladimir trying to find a way to stop this. But it was too late as the lights stop and Hercules felt weak in the legs
"You won't get away with this!" Vladimir yelled out in anger
"Oh but I have, and for you mister Hercules you may feel a little dizzy and sick…" Hades said as he elevated a weight lift "So why don't you sit DOWN!" he yelled out as he threw the weight at the now powerless Hercules sending the man back on the ground in pain
"You monster!" Ikail yelled out as she tried to use a force push on him but only for the wall to actually dissipate the push
"I guess we can't do anything to this all then…" Vladimir muttered in annoyance as Hades gave them smirk before look back over to Hercules
"Now you know how it will feel to be just like everybody else, isn't it just peachy?" Hades said as he knelt down to Hercules who was trying to get back up but couldn't because of the weight of the weight lift
"Hercules don't worry we'll get to you!" Weiss yelled out franticly as she along with Ruby, Blake and Yang tried to figure out how to use their Keyblades to bypass the barrier Hades had conjured up somehow. Hades though just kept talking like they weren't even there now
"Oh an one more thing, Meg a deal is a deal your off the hook." Hades said as he went up next to Meg, snapped his fingers and released her from the smoky entrapment all the while Hercules finally was able to get out from under the weight lift "By the way isn't she just a fabulous little actress."
"What do mean…" Hercules asked with a despaired tone
"What I mean is that your little smoochy poo here was working for me all the time duh." Hades answered as Meg closed her eyes in guilt
"You're…Your lying!" Hercules said back in denial
"Oh really?" Hades said back with even more smugness as the two boys that Hercules and the saved back at the tournament showed up next to Hercules
"You've got to be kidding." Blake said in shock
"Thanks for saving us mister." The boy in the aqua green toga said in a mocking tone
"Goodness mister your really strong!" said the boy in the marron toga next as he grabbed Hercules hand and pulled him down slightly before letting go turning back in Pain and the other boy back into Panic
"Couldn't have done it without you sugar." Hades said with a smile as he squeezed Megs face a little before releasing her as she ran up to Hercules
"No, no it's not like that, I didn't mean to…I'm so sorry." Meg said as Hercules just grabbed her arms and push her back a little before falling to his knees in shame while Ruby, Weiss, Blake, Yang, Guin, Dante, Ikail, Donald, Goofy and Vladimir only could just watch as their once proud friend Hercules was being broken so easily
"Our Hero's, a Zero, our Hero's a Zero!" Pain and Panic sung loudly as they poured dirty water on him in a mocking way making Meg tear up along with Ruby, Weiss and Ikail as well. The other more angered now
"GEY AWAY YOU LITTLE MONSTER!" Yang yelled out as she hit the barrier with her Keyblade but was pushed back
"Yang are you okay?" Guin asked as he help her back up
"Let us through!" Donald yelled out
"Oh don't worry, a minuet after I leave the barrier should go away. BUT I am a busy man now so I got to blaze since there's a whole cosmos up there just waiting for me." Hades said joyfully as he conjured up a chariot with a two winged small black dragons as its stead "With hey my name on it, so onto the main event!" he said entering the chariot and flying off leaving Hercules broken, Meg hating herself so much and the group now determined to take down Hades…
-One hour later at an unknown sea-
"Come on, come on I can't wait anymore." Hades impatiently said as he waited for the planets to align
"You seem to be losing your patients yet again Hades." Maleficent said as she had suddenly just appeared in Hades chariot
"GAH… you actually scared me, what do want now can't you see I'm busy putting my plan into action." Hades said with slight annoyance
"I can see that Hades, still I just wanted to do one more check up and say that I have left some heartless for you to commanded without any risk as a way of saying congratulations for getting your plan to work. I'll be heading off now ta-ta." Maleficent said as she created a portal and went through it leaving Hades alone
"Huh that was weird, she's never been that nice even when she acting." Hades muttered to himself. "Oh well might as well use those heartless she lent me, now when is the...oh wait now it's starting." He said happily as even though it could not be seen the planets aligned with one another and sent off a blast of energy just a few inched of Hades position into the sea. It took only a few moments before shaking could be heard then five very large monster could be seen behind a cage of electricity, one was fat and had one eye, one was made of rock with two heads, one was made of air and had a vortex like body, one was made of ice and the last one was made of magma. These were the Titians, an old enemy of the Gods of Olympus and Hades had plans for them" BROTHERS, titans look at you in your prisons. Who put you down there?"
"ZEUS!" The Titans yelled in anger
"AND NOW THAT IS SET YOU FREE, WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU ARE GOING TO DO!" Hades yelled out as he fired a two beams of fire at the lighting cage, sucking up the energy into him and freeing the Titians
"DESTROY HIM!" The Titian yelled out as they raise their fist into the air and made their way onto land
"Good answer." Hades said with a smirk as the Titans beagn their attack on a small unfortunate village
"CRUSH HIM!" The rock titan yelled out as he stepped on about a dozen house
"FREEZE HIM!" The Ice Titan yelled out as he froze the village herd of scared horses into sold ice statues
"MELT HIM!" The Magma Titan yelled out as he burned the forest and land that was in his way
"BLOW HIM AWAY!" The air Titian yelled out as he sucked up everything in his path
"ZEUS, ZEUS!" The Titans chanted as they walked in the ruins of the village with their goal of destroying Zeus
"Um guys." Hades said as the Titans turned around to face him "Olympus would be that way." He said the pointing behind him as Titians looked at each other then turned to make their (correct) way to Olympus now while passing a very happy Hades
"Zeus, Zeus…" They chanted with hate but as the one eye titian who had kept quite the whole time passed Hades he was stopped by him
"Hold it bright eye, I have a special job for you my optic friend." Hades said as the one eyed Titan look at him with confusion
-Ten minutes later at mount Olympus-
At mount Olympus all was well at the moment, the gods were conversing with one another and all was peaceful. On a cloud at the edge of Olympus was a man lying on it, this man glowed blue, had blue skin, wore a short white toga, a golden helmet with two white wings and pair of purple classes, two shoes with wings on the ends of them and a wielded a golden staff. This was Hermes the messenger of the gods and at the moment he was taking quite the nap, well until he began hearing loud chanting
"ZEUS, ZEUS!" The chanting went and it woke up Hermes
"Ugh, what that noise?" Hermes mutter to himself as he put back on his purple glass and looked down to see the Titans coming straight to mount Olympus "Oh we're in trouble, big trouble ah!" he yelled out as he flew quickly to the home of Zeus who was at the moment having a relaxing to with his wife who was a woman that glowed purple, wore a sparkly purple dress, had a sparkly head wear, blue eyes and orange hair tied in a bun. This was Hera the goddess of marriage and womanhood
"Oh Zeus you know just what to say." Hera said with a small giggle as Zeus just smiled at his wife but their peaceful day was interrupted as Hermes came in
"My lord and lady, the Titans have escape and their practically at our gates!" Hermes yelled out in a panic
"Sound the alarm, launch and immediate counter attack go, go!" Zeus order Hermes
"Gone babe." Hermes said as he dash through the kingdom blowing his trumpet to warn the other gods who heard it and began to prepare for battle.
"CHARGE! Yelled another god dress wearing a helmet, chest piece, gantlets, greaves, glowed red, had a beard and rode a chariot with two fiery large dogs pulling him down this was Ares the god of the war along with two other gods Apollo and Athena who had the same get up as him except Apollo glowed a dark purple and Athena a dark blue both having chariots with their respective colors along with a spectrum of other gods following them into battle. Meanwhile a large man in a brow toga, with a bald spot on the top of his head along with hair on the rest of the top of his skull, and a curvy beard worked on a forge for Zeus weapons which were lightning bolts. This was Hephaestus the god of the craftsmanship
"Hephaestus are the bolts ready yet?!" Zeus yelled as he watched the Titans get ever so closer
"Ready for battle my lord!" Hephaestus yelled out as he threw about a dozen bolt to Zeus who threw a bolt immediately at the Titans which only hit the rock Titian but did not falter their charge to Olympus. On the other hand the gods that had charged for battle were now being sucked up by the air Titan
"Boom, bada, boom, boom ba, HA!" Hades said overjoyed that his plan was coming into fold
-Meanwhile in Thebes-
The citizen we're running in terror now as their city was being attack by the biggest monster they had seen which was the one eyed Titan. The monster was tearing apart the city in his search for Hercules which Hades had instated him to take care of along with the Keyblade wielders and their friends if possible. But this Titan's main target was Hercules and he made that pretty obvious
"HERCLUES, WERE ARE YOU!" The Titan yelled out as he looked around building from building trying to find him. He then just destroyed every building he had looked through with no concern of the people who may have been in there
"Where Hercules!?" A random male citizen yelled out hiding in fear
"Yeah Hercules will save us!" An old man yelled out this time happily pointing at the heroic statue of Hercules, but it was destroyed second later by the one eyed titian
"HERCULES COME OUT!" The one titan yelled in annoyance as he destroyed yet again another building. Meanwhile Ruby, Weiss, Blake, Yang, Guin, Ikail, Donald, Goofy, Dante, Vladimir, Hercules and Meg just watched in horror as the Titan destroyed the city
"This is not good at all." Ikail said as she winced once more seeing another building destroyed. Suddenly though Hercules walked out in front of them with a determined face
"Wait if you go out there now you'll be killed!" Meg said in much concern but Hercules just passed by her
"There are worst thing that could happen." Hercules said as he began walking down stairs once more
"Then we're coming with you!" Ruby yelled out as she and the other nodded their head
"No, look you don't have to do that. This is my fight, not yours." Hercules replied back
"Don't play that on us Hercs, besides remember when we first met. We said we were all friends and friends stick together." Weiss said with a wide smile as the other smiled as well
"Thanks, I'm glad I can rely on you all. But let me face him first and then you all come in okay." Hercules said with a small half smile
"Sounds like a plan, right guys?" Ruby said as the other all nodded in agreement as Hercules just nodded back and made his way to the Titan
"HERCULES!" the one eye Titan yelled out but only to look down once more to see that the man he had been looking for was walking up to him
"It's Hercules!" The same random male citizen yelled out in joy as a few other citizens near him cheered as well but the Titians rock shaking footsteps stopped their cheering pretty quickly
"So, you mighty Hercules, HAHAHAHA!" The one eyed titian said laughing as he lightly pushed Hercules a little making him wobble but not fall over, suddenly though the titian slapped Hercules hard and up into the air right into a billboard. Hercules then slid off and fell to the ground
"Oh!" Meg, the girls and the rest of the group yelled out in shock at how quickly that just happened, they didn't even get a chance to help him out
"What do now, we can't take that thing on ground level. I just wish we knew were Pegasus, Lara and Rita were at?!" Blake yelled out in frustration
"You and the rest of Blake." Yang said with an annoyed look on her face now as well, while Meg was freaking out herself now
"Hey wait what's that noise?" Vladimir asked
"What noise, I don't hear any-" Dante said but was stopped by Guin
"Stay quiet and listen Dante." Guin said kindly as he and the rest all began listing and then hear muffle nays and low roars coming from a door inside the storage room of the training arena. They all ran up to the door and Yang kicked it open. What they saw was a tied up Pegasus trying to get out and a tied up Lara and Rita trying to get out as well.
"Quick let's get them out!" Yang said as she, Blake and Weiss ran up Lara then untiled her, while Dante, Guin, Ikail, Donald and Goofy did the same with Rita. Vladimir helped Meg out with Pegasus who was making it hard with all his thrashing
"Whoa easy there bird feather." Meg said as she began untying Pegasus legs
"Look Pegasus you have to stop, Hercules is in trouble." Vladimir said making Pegasus stop thrashing allowing him to untie the rest of the ropes
"Vlad's right, we need to find Phil he's the only one who can talk some sense into him." Meg said as Pegasus calmed down now
"Alright then meg. You, Vladimir, Dante, Donald, Goofy, Guin and Ikail go and get Phil. Me, Blake, Yang, and Ruby will go on Lara to make sure Hercules is alright." Weiss said as they all nodded to one another understating the plan
"Don't worry girls we'll get Phil back!" Goofy happily said as he, Dante, Donald, Ikail, Guin and Vladimir hopped on Rita and flew off
"Hey girls when you get to wonder boy, give him a light slap on the head for me for doing something so stupid." Meg said with a small smile
"We will Meg, now go." Ruby replied back with small smile as well as Pegasus lifted off into the air
"AHAHAHAHHA!" Meg yelled out as she really still hated flying
-Meanwhile back at Mount Olympus-
The Mountain now was covered in shadow, the cloud were not white and fluffy anymore but dark and menacing and all the meanwhile the Titians were still climbing up the mountain as they had been pushed back a little by Zeus but they were only a few inches away from entering the holy land
"Get back you!" Zeus yelled out as he threw another bolt but this didn't stop the titans who now had made it up all the way. The Rock Titians bashed the gates of Olympus open and entered followed by the other titans
"Oh, Ouchy wah, wah." Hades said with smirk
"ZEUS!" The titans yelled in anger as they closed in on Zeus's location now
"Oh this is going to be fun to watch, and I think I just figured out where to send those heartless now." Hades said as he snapped his fingers summon a few couple dozen of heartless which include shades, solider and wizards "Here's the deal the pesky key blade wielders are here and I need you all to keep them distracted until my plan is finished and then take their hearts understand?" he asked as the Heartless and just slightly nodded
"Good, now get to work!" Hades yelled out as he snapped his fingers teleporting the Heartless to Thebes "Now then let's go see dearest brother."
-At a unknown dock-
"Where in the world could he be?" Dante asked with annoyance as it was surprisingly hard to find Phil at the moment
"I'm with you on that Dante, for real though how hard can it be to find a short, fat goat man. It's not like there a bunch of Satyr running around here. "Ikail said as she continued looking around while Rita grunted
"Oh don't worry Rita it's not your fault, beside there's a lot of dock here at the moment." Goofy said with a kind smile making Rita grunt gentler now as a way of saying thanks to him
"Okay now this is getting somewhat tedious." Vladimir said as he pinched his brows
"Wait I think I see him." Guin said calmly as he pointed to a stone made dock with Phil with a small sack walking down a wooden platform which had a docked ship that was getting ready to leave
"Come on hurry up we're shoving off here!" Yelled one of the boat's passengers
"Phil, Hercules needs your help!" Meg said as she flew down along with the others to confront Phil
"What's does he need me for when he's got friends like you?!" Phil yelled back
"Oh come on Phil don't be like this." Ikail said with a frown
"Yeah, you're his friend to so please help us." Goofy added in
"Yeah ya big palooka!" Donald yelled out
"Donald I don't think that will help." Guin said calmly
"Well we got to get him to come back with us one way or another." Vladimir said next
"Look he won't listen to me or the others." Meg said with a desperate tone
Good, I he's finally learned something." Phil said back as he began walking down again but only to be stopped by Rita who was looking at him with a snarl along with Ikail, Guin, Donald, Goofy and Vladimir who look at him with slight frowns
"Look, I know what I did was wrong but this isn't about me or any of the rest of us. This about him." Meg said as Phil passed by Rita "If you don't help him now Phil he's going to die..." she said making Phil stop in his tracks and sigh
"…Alright then, let's go saved the kid." Phil replied back as Pegasus let him get on his back
"Thank you Phil, we all apprentice this." Vladimir said with a nod
"Don't go thanking me just yet, we still got save Hercs come on let's get moving." Phil replied back as Pegasus and Rita lifted back off to Thebes hoping that it wasn't too late
-Back at Olympus-
"I need more lightning bolts!" Zeus yelled out to Hephaestus but got no responds
"Hephaestus has been captured lord." Hermes said as he flew next to him "AH I've been capture, hey watch the glasses!" he yelled out as Pain and Panic appeared and took Hermes away by the legs. Zeus then looked to see that the Magma and Ice Titan towering over him and then was blasted by a pool of magma along with a breeze of ice which encased the lower half of his body in a rock like case
"Zuesy I'm home!" Hades yelled out joyfully
"Hades, you're behind this!" Zeus asked in shock as his the upper half of his body was slowly being encased
"You're correct on that, but now since I'll be ruler of the cosmos soon I want to know one more thing." Hades said as he moved leaned into near Zeus "Where is the keyhole?"
"You can't be thinking of I think you planning to do..' Zeus said with a worried tone
"I yes I am, you see once this place is done with then the hearts of this world will be for the taking. It's all part of an allies of mine's plan, once the keyhole is open she'll take the hearts of this world and give me power to rule even more in this universe it will be a cha, cha lovely time." Hades explained
"You can't you'll kill everyone here, you'll be taken too don't you understand that!" Zeus said a with a pleading tone
"That won't happen, now tell me where is it?" Hades said with an amused look on his face now
"I will never tell you, they Keyblade wielders and my son will stop you." Zeus said defiantly as the encasing stop at his neck now
"I doubt that to, they're busy right now. But since you won't tell me I'll just have to probe it out your mind now…" Hades said as he placed his right hand on Zeus's face and began to glow a blue light while Zeus began to scream in pain
-Back in Thebe's-
"HAHAHAHHA!" The one eyed titian laughed as he was kicking Hercules around like a hacky sack and then balanced him on his knee to only just flick him off into a fallen pillar
"MY TURN BIG GUY!" Yang yelled out as she slashed her keyblades at the titan's left leg again which only mildly hurt him
"Yah pick on someone your own size!" Weiss yelled next as she fired a barrage of ice shards at both of the titan's legs which made the Tatin back up a little ways "Ruby, Blake how are you two doing with the heartless!?"
"Doing fine Weiss!" Ruby said as she jumped over a solider and slashed it's back but only to be lunged from behind by three shades which were taken down by Blake who threw her Keyblade "Thanks Blake!"
"No problem Ruby." Blake replied back as her Keyblade appear back in her hand just in time for her to slash up a fire wizard right next to her
"Little girls mean, little girls GO AWAY!" The Titian yelled out in anger as he stomped his foot on the ground making a shock wave which blew Ruby, Weiss, Blake and Yang along back into the same pillar where Hercules was at while blowing the heartless everywhere else
"Hercules!" Yelled Phil who was with Meg on Pegasus followed by the others on Rita as they both landed next to them
"We're fine too Phil." Yang joked as she, Ruby, Weiss and Blake got back up but only with a few grunts
"You know what I mean girls." Phil replied back as he ran up next to Hercules "Come on kid get back up, you can take this guy out he's a push over just look at him."
"You we're right Phil…dream are just for Rookies." Hercules said as he gave a slight glare at Meg while the others winced a little at the words themselves as the Hercules they knew never would have said that
"No, no, no, no, no kid, giving up is for rookies. Kid I came back I'm not quieting on you just like everyone else here with us. We're all willing to go the distance, how about you?" Phil said as small smiled formed across everyone else face from Phil's kind words but suddenly Hercules was quickly picked up by the one eyed titan
"Hehe hehe!" The one eyed titan said but as Hercules struggled he found a burning piece of wood, Hercules grabbed it and when he was close enough he threw it into the giants eyes letting go Hercules while the titan wailed in pain
"I got ya!" Yang yelled as she ran under Hercules and caught him and almost fell on her knees from the impact "Jeez Hercs your weight a lot more than you look." She said as she let Hercules back up on his feet
"Thanks Yang, nice of you to say." He joked with a small smile getting a laugh out of her and him
"Coming through!" Ikail yelled out as she was force levitating a long piece of rope that tied around the titans ankles, she then threw the other end of the rope to the group, Yang and Hercules "Now can I ask you all to pull as hard as you can?"
"Sure no problem Ikail, you all heard her right!?" Yang replied back as she asked the other
"We sure did Yang, let's do it!" Ruby said as she and the other with her grabbed the rope form their location while Yang and Hercules did the same
"Alright now PULL!" Ikail yelled out as she along with the rest of the group pulled the rope and the titian began to trip closer to the edge of the area but caught his balance
"Yang hold onto this tightly!" Hercules yelled out
"Wait Hercules what are you doing!" Donald yelled out loud as Hercules grabbed as sword that was laying on the ground and as he ran up to the one eyed titian and stabbed the sword into the it's foot
"AHAHAHAHAH!" The one eyed titin yelled out in pain as he lost his balance again and toppled over the edge of the area it unknown fate. Hercules looked over to see the titan laying on the ground motionless
"We did it!" Goofy cheered in victory
"Oh yeah we did!" Yang replied back as Ruby, Weiss and Blake ran up to her happily and did a group hug while cheering over their victory
"I'm surprised that titian was taken down so easily." Dante commented
"Ture, I personally thought we'd have to do bladed combat with the monster." Vladimir replied back
"Be glad we didn't have to, that monster did enough to this city already." Guin added in while Meg walked up closer to Hercules
"Where's she going?" Donald asked
"She probably going up top Hercules to make amends with him, it will probably work but it may take a while for the wounds to heal." Ikail answered as she walked up to the boy's while Pegasus, Rita and Lara grunted "Our flying friends agree me as well."
"True, I just hope nothing else happens." Goofy said worriedly meanwhile the girls were talking to one another in their own little conversation
"That was amazing girls!" Ruby said joyfully
"It really was if I'm going to admit it, still I hope the heartless with the giant we're all that were coming." Weiss said next with a slight frown
"Chin up Weiss, we can take on anything that gets thrown at us because team RWBY is amazing!" Ruby replied back grinning widely
"Ruby is right Weiss, we are pretty amazing. I wonder what Meg's doing though?" Blake said as she and Ruby, Weiss and Yang noticed Meg walk up to Hercules who was still look over the edge of the cliff
"Maybe she's going to apologize to him again." Yang answered
"I wouldn't put it behind her to do it, still I can't believe we decided to give her the benefit of the doubt. This was all her fault in the first place." Weiss said giving me a slight glare
"You don't like her that much do you Weiss?" Blake asked as she to also pretty much didn't trust Meg much
"It's not that I don't like her, I just don't trust her at all." Weiss replied back
"Got to agree with you Weiss, but she make Hercs happy and he deserves to be happy." Yang said back
"I guess that's true, wait what's that sound?" Weiss said as she, Ruby, Blake, Yang and the others heard a crumbling sound. They all look over to see a pillar about to fall on an un-expecting Hercules
"HERCLUES!" The girls all yelled out at once as they began to sprint to save him but they didn't make it, instead Meg made to him first and pushed him out of the way. But in turn the pillar fell on her creating smoke all around them
"Is everyone okay?" Guin yelled out as he, Donald, Goofy, Ikail, Dante and Guin along with Rita, Pegasus, Lara and Phil ran up to the girls who were at where Hercules had landed when Meg pushed him out of the way
"Yeah, but how's Meg!?" Hercules replied back as the dust cleared out to show Meg under the Pillar
"MEG NO!" Hercules yelled out as he ran to end of the pillar and began to try and lift it up "I NEED HELP!" he yelled out as the girls and the others ran up to both sides of the pillars
"DANG THIS THING IS HEAVY!" Ruby yelled out
"DON'T WORRY MEG WE'LL GET YOU OUT!" Dante yelled next and as he said that suddenly Hercules began to glow orange and within seconds later he lifted up the pillar and threw in over to edge then ran up to Meg
"He just got his strength back." Weiss said in shock
"That means….oh no." Yang replied back as her eye widen knowing what that meant
"What just happened?" Hercules asked in shock as well
"Ugh…Hades, h-his deal is broken. He promised I wouldn't get hurt…" Meg answered as the group all looked at with a saddens in their eyes
"Meg, why did yah...you...you dint have to…" Hercules said but couldn't finished his sentence as his heart beagn to ach
"People do crazy thing when they're in love…" Meg replied back
"This can't be happening…." Ruby muttered to herself as her lips began to tremble a little
"Can't you do anything Donald?" Weiss asked in concern
"I can't Weiss, my healing spell are only for wounds not something like this." Donald replied back as he took off his hat and held in to his chest
"Oh Meg…Meg I…." Hercules said as he still couldn't find the words to say
"Are you always this articulate?" Meg joked as she grunted a little in pain which got a slight laugh out of Hercules and the others as they could tell she was trying to calm Hercules down "You still got time…you can still stop Hades.."
"I'll watch over her kid." Phil said as he moved a small rounded rock under Megs head
"We can't leave you two here alone, the Heartless might come after you if there is any left." Vladimir said witch much truth to it as a swarm of Shades could be seen moving towards them
"The boys, Rita and I will keep an eye on them, girls you get on Lara and go with Hercules and Pegasus to help him understood?" Ikail order in a more professional tone for the first time since she's been in the group
"We understand Ikail, come on let's get to it." Ruby replied back as she, Blake, Weiss and Yang hoped on Lara
"You going to be alright I promise." Hercules said as he ran up onto Pegues now with his sword pointed out "LETS GO!" he yelled out as he flew off to mount Olympus along with the girls who followed behind with their keyblades summon out and ready for yet another battle.
-Olympus mountain-
"Hut two three four, hut two three four!" Pain was shouting out as her and Panic flew around the chained gods and goddesses "I CAN'T HEAR YOU!"
"Ah!" Hermes said back a little nervous around pain at the moment, meanwhile the ice and magma titan we're now about done with encase Zeus fully
"I swear to Hades when I get out o-"Zeus threated Hades but was then cut off as the encasing cover his whole body now
"I'm the one giving orders now bolt boy and I think I'm going to like it here, though I should thank you for the information on where the keyhole is. It was in the one place closets to me." Hades said as he summoned up a small cocktail and beagn sipping it
"Better not get to comfortable Hades!" Ruby yelled out as Hades spit out his drink to see the girls and Hercules riding on their mounts charging into battle
"Hercules!" one of the imprisoned gods said in joy as the other gods and goddesses looked to see Hercules with four girls charge in to save them
"It's the Keyblade wielders they've come to save us too!" yelled an imprisoned goddess who along with the others had their chains broken within seconds from a few solid slashes from Hercules blade and the girls Keyblades
"Yeah Hercules thank you man." Hermes said as he kicked Pain away and was beating up Panic easily with his staff "Oh and thank you Keyblade wielders as well."
"GET THEM!" Hades yelled out to his titans in rage from what was happening now, the Magma Titan attack first firing lava from his mouth at Hercules and the girls
"Lava, lots of Lava!" Blake yelled out as Lara and Pegues dodged the incoming attack but Hades wasn't so lucky
"Whoa hey…ugh, no GET THEM THE FOUR BRATS AND BOY!" Hades yelled out as he was covered in magma as the Ice Titan attack with a volley of ice shards
"Good thing we took Phil blocking lessons!" Weiss said happily as she, Ruby, Blake, Yang and Hercules where blocking the incoming ice shard which for Hades case he wasn't so lucky again as he was hit by the ice and cover in a thick layer of ice now
"I hate those brats." Hade muttered to himself the best he could as from the fact his mouth was frozen over
"Hercules you know what to do buddy!" Ruby said as Hercules nodded and flew over to where Zeus was encased. Hercules dug his fingers into the stone and ripped it opened releasing Zeus
"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!" Hades cream in rage as he broken form his ice encasement
"Thank you my boy." Zeus said proudly as Hercules smiled at his father complement
"Hey what are we chopped liver" Yang joked as she, Ruby, Weiss and Blake jumped down next to Hercules
"Yang might not be best to joke like that." Blake said slightly scolding her
"Opp's sorry force of habit." Yang replied back
"Oh I don't mind at all, I have you four as well to thank." Zeus said as he nodded to the girls who nodded back to him, meanwhile Pain and Panic were running away from Lara and Pegasus
"Nice horsey, nice dragon we didn't mean to what we did!" Pain yelled out as he tripped over himself, but only to be caught by Pegasus by his tail while Panic tripped a well with Lara caught him by his tail as well with her mouth
"You can forgive and forget right?" Panic asked very nervously as Pegasus and Lara looked at one another
-Flashback: Training Arena-
"I wonder what today will bring." Pegasus nay'd to himself
"What do think, just some more autograph signings and such bird brain." Lara growled back while Rita growled in laughter a little
"So funny I forgot to laugh Lara." Pegasus nay'd back slightly annoyed
"I know, I'm great at jokes." Lara growl back while Rita just nodded but before anymore banter could be heard a more female nay came from the storage room next to them
"What was that?" Rita growled in wariness
"Don't know but I'm checking it out." Pegasus nay'd back as he open the door with his head to reveal a lovely looking female Pegasus with a blond mane, brown eyes and was a lovely shad of pink "She's lovely…." He nay'd quietly walking into the storage to get closer to the female Pegasus followed by a wary Lara and Rita
"Weird, why is this Pegasus in here?" Rita growled to herself
"Can't say sister, let's just-" Lara growled back but was cut off as she along with Rita were hit on top of the head by two anvils that appeared out of nowhere and then tied up by ropes
"Rita, Lara what…WHOA WHY AM I BEING TIED UP!" Pegasus nay'd as he was tied up by a series of roped, he looked onto the lady Pegasus only to see it turned into two little devils with aqua green and marron skin
"See you later you stupid animals!" The maroon demon yelled out
"Yeah and tell your two stupid dragon friends to see a doctor cause they might have gotten some pretty bad brain damage!" The aqua green demon yelled out next as both demons laughed and exited the storage room, but not before locking it up
"When Lara and Rita wake up, those two demons are so going to get it." Pegasus nay'd to himself as he waited to see when his friends would wake up and when the others would find them
-End of Flash back-
"Is that a yes or a no?" Pain asked as both Pegasus and Lara nodded then proceeded to use them as elastic punching bags
"Th-that's a-a n-noooooo!" Panic yelled out in pain and he and well Pain were being pummeled down by the two snicker flying steads. While that happened Hephaestus was able to conjure up some more lightning bolts as he threw them over to Zeus
"Ha, now watch your old man work!" Zeus said happily
"This is going to be awesome to watch!" Yang and Ruby yelled out in unison happily while Weiss and Blake just smirked at their partners joyful attitudes
"Uh oh…" The rock Titan said in nervousness as Zeus threw a bolt taking both it's heads out, the Titans than began to run away knowing that this battle was futile
"Guy's, get your titanic rears in gear and kick some Olympian butt!" Hades said in anger as Pegasus and Lara who were now done attacking Pain and Panic both blew on Hades flame hair "Whoa is my hair out?!"
"That was funny!" Ruby said snickering at what their steads just did but all of a sudden they felt a gush of air, they all turned around to see the air titan swirl in a vortex at them, the girl all were about to attack but Hercules stepped in
"Let me handle this one ladies." Hercules said with his heroic which made the girls smile that he was getting back slightly to his old self again
"All you mister hero." Blake replied back as Hercules nodded then turned his grabbed the air titan by it's bottom and used it's vortex body to suck up the other three titans
"How far do you think he's going throw it?" Yang asked
"I'd say a couple yards away, how about you Blake?" Weiss replied back
"To the next continent." Blake answered
"Well I say he'll throw them into space!" Ruby happily said
"Ruby do you really think he ca-" Weiss said with an amused look on her face as she was going to have Ruby rethink that, but she along with the others we're silenced as Hercules swung the titan filled air titian in a circle and threw the monster up all the way into space, you could even see a very large explosion happen when they left the atmosphere
"You we're saying Weiss?" Blake asked with a smirk
"Quiet you, but Ruby good on you for the guess." Weiss said giving a small raised eyebrow to Blake but a smile to Ruby
"Good thing we didn't bet on that." Yang said next as Ruby, Weiss and Blake nodded agreeing with her
"Good job son, I knew you could do it." Zeus said as he gave Hercules a high five
"Yeah good job Hercules." Ruby said back but before Hercules replied back Hades cut in
"Thanks a lot you annoyances, but at least I got two prizes. A friend of wonder boy and the location of the key hole all in one place!" Hades yelled out as he flew away on his chariot while the girls and Hercules got on Pegasus and Lara
"Wait he means the keyhole and…Oh no Meg!" Ruby said as Hercules and the girls flew off to Meg's location quickly
-Back at Meg and the rest of group's location-
"You will not past demons!" Dante yelled out as he shot out furiously a volley of cross bolts at the shades destroying them all
"Nice job Dante!" Goofy said happily as he threw his shield at a few shades that we're latching onto Guin who was trying to slice them off
"I owe you my life Goofy." Guin said cracking he neck a little
"Gawrsh that's what friend are for." Goofy replied back as he bashed a few more Shades by failed to notice on of them as it lunged at him from the side. He was saved by Vladimir who had extended his saw blade and slashed the shade I half
"Keep a good wit on you friend." Vladimir said as he shot his blunderbuss which pushed back a few shades that fell on their backs only to get sliced up by Ikail who had thrown her lightsaber at them and retrieved it back using the force
"You do as well Vladimir, I just hope Donald is doing okay." Ikail said as she slashed a few more shades while Donald was with Phil doing his best to keep Meg alive and breathing in hope that maybe she will make it
"How she holding up Donald?" Phil asked with a worried tone as the sounds of battle were starting to die out with Ikail, Goofy, Dante and Guin being the victors
"I don't why but she getting colder now matter how many times I use the healing spell on her." Donald replied back with a frown as unknown to him and the others they we're being watched in the underworld by three woman
"The little duck thinks he can prevent her death does he?" said the first woman named Lachesis who was the tallest, had blue skin, was thin and had frizzy dark blue hair along with two empty eye sockets
"Yes but he's in for a big surprise now." replied the second woman named Clotho who had green skin, was average in height and had two empty eye sockets with frizzy green dark hair and the last one was short
"Indeed, Lachesis get the thread ready." Added in the third woman named Atropos who was the shortest, had purple skin and green tentacle like hair.
These three were wearing dark clocks to signify who they were and who they were three fates of past, present and future. They were the one who choose when someone would die using that person thread of life to be cut by their scissor of death. Right now Meg was their next target as Lachesis held up Meg's thread of life while Clotho held up the scissors of death. Atropos just watched in sickening excitement
As that all went on Hercules and the girls were racing back to Meg's area to see what had happened and they were going as fast as they could. But as the got closer and closer Clotho was slowly closing up on Meg thread of life and with each step the others got the fate sisters who get closer as well. A minute later Hercules and girls finally made it back to see the heartless were gone, but Rita, Ikail, Guin, Donald, Goofy, Vladimir and Phil were all standing together looking down at Meg who wasn't moving
"Meg…." Hercules said as he and the girls walk up to them only to have Phil look back at them and shake his head
"She didn't make it, we're sorry…" Vladimir said as he took of his hat in sorrow letting out his long hair while Hercules walked up to her and began to tear up holding her cold body
"Meg…oh meg…" Ruby muttered as she cried into Yang's shoulder who she herself was having a hard time keeping her tears back
"I take back what I said about her…I really do." Weiss said as she beagn tearing up while Blake nodded slightly tearing up now and for a few moment everyone else except for Guin, Dante and Vladimir who just looked down in respect were tearing up
"There something's you just can't change…"Dante said as he patted Hercules on the back
"Yes there is something I can do." Hercules said now angry as he got back up
"What do mean Hercules?" Donald asked as he wiped a few of his tears away
"I'm going down to the underworld and getting her soul back from Hades." Hercules answered with determination
"Then we're going with you Hercules no if's, and's or but's about it." Ruby said determined as well now as she wiped her tears away while the other nodded agreeing with her
"Wouldn't have it any other way." Hercules said with a small smile but then the sounds or more heartless, this time soldiers and big bodies could be heard coming their way
"Like I said before, me, Rita and the boys can handle this and keep Meg's body and Phil safe." Ikail said with a commanding tone
"Okay we understand, just stay safe." Weiss replied back with a small smile
"Don't worry we will." Guin said as the girls and Hercules flew off
"Alright then people lets beat down some heartless." Ikail said as she along with Guin, Goofy, Dante, Donald and Rita prepared for battle once more
-Half an hour later with Hades in the underworld-
"AHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!" Hades screamed in pure rage as he was letting out fists of anger which was scorching up his current quarters "WE WERE SO CLOSE!" he yelled out throwing a fire ball at Pain and Panic who were cowering in fear
"Ouch my ears I think he burnt them off…" Pain muttered to himself
"We we're so close to the finish line but we tripped because our little Meg has to go all noble." Hades said in a disgusted and angered tone, but as he said that his whole quarters shook up and out came a three headed dog with black fur and red eyes, this was Cerberus the guardian of the underworld and at the moment the large dog was being controls by the ears by an angry Hercules, Ruby, Weiss, Blake and Yang
"How the heck did we even get control of this….thing…" Blake said as she was tensing up being on top of a large dog
"Hey it wanted to fight us and we obliged, didn't we boy?" Yang said with a glare as the three headed dog slight whined
"I still can't believe you hit the poor puppy…there." Ruby said wincing at the certain tender area of the dog
"Hey now it's knows to respect me." Yang replied back as Cerberus whined once more
"I think we should get back to the task at hand though." Weiss suggested
"Weiss is right, now Hades tell us where Meg is!" Hercules demanded
"Yeah and if you don't get ready for a fight creep!" Ruby said next as she and the girls summoned their Keyblades but Hades actually did the opposite of what they had all expected him to do
"Oh, look who's here, wonder boy and the four little key brats, you are all just too much you know what?" Hades said as Hercules just walked up to him, lifted him up
"Where is she?" Hercules asked in a threating tone
"I'd take the advice Hades, me and the girls wouldn't mind at all getting a chance to hurt ya." Weiss said with a smirk
"Pff, just get a grip." Hades said as he pushed Hades hand's off of him "Here come on you all follow me, I got something to show ya." He said as the girl and Hercules followed him with caution as they we're ready to attack him at any moment
-Three minutes later-
The girls and Hercules had been walking down with Hades for a few good minuets now and they were starting to get more wary of the situation and prepared to attack Hades but as they entered the lowest room of this place they saw something….disturbing
"Hm, well it's a small underworld after all huh?" Hades said as the girls and Hercules looked upon a swirling vortex of green which was filled with moans and crying meaning that what they were looking at was a well of souls. As they all looked more and more into it Hercules notice on soul that he instantly reach out for
"MEG!' Hercules yelled out as he put his hand t grab her but when he did his hand began to shrivel up which made the man take his hand out immediately
"What was that, what just happened?" Ruby asked out of bewilderment
"Oh right, should have told you but let's just say it a dead only zone here. You see Meg is running with a new crowd these day's and not a very lively one at that. I can get her out but I must ask these girls something first." Hades said as he looked back at Ruby, Weiss, Blake and Yang
"And what would that be exactly?" Blake asked narrowing her eyes
"Well let's just say I got from a very reliable source that your little keyhole is actually right above us, here in this very room. Problem is I can't find it…but you girls can." Hades said with a wide smirk
"Oh you're crazy if you think we'd help you." Yang replied back with a glare
"Really even if it means losing a chance to have me get Meg's soul back to you all, look I know you all are supposed to be helping the worlds out and such but for real what do you owe anyone here. You don't know them so why care, now do you want to find me the keyhole or do you want to say bye to Meg's soul." Hades explained as the girl actually were conflicted on this as they wanted to get Meg's soul back but did they really want to get the key hole for this monster,they didn't know what to do but then Hercules intervened
"Hold up, look you like making deals, take me in Megs place?" Hercules asked with a determined face
"Hercules what are doing?!" Ruby asked in shock
"Huh, the son of my hate rival trapped forever in a river of death?" Hades said as he though it over
"Going once." Hercules said counting his finger down from three to two
"Maybe…wait." Hades Muttered
"Going twice." Hercules continued as he counted his finger from two to one now
"Hercules if you could explain what's going on that would be nice?!" Weiss asked getting very nervous now
"Once last chance?" Hercules explained with a high tone
Okay, okay you get her out she goes and you stay and just to tell you once you're gone these girls will be easy to take down." Hades said
"Keep telling yourself that buddy…" Blake said as she and Yang did a quick high five
"Look Hercules you don't have to do this." Ruby said as Hercules turned his back and faced forwards at the well of souls
"Don't worry girls I'll be fine, besides I'm a hero." Hercules said as he gave the girls on last smile before jumping in while Hades smirked a little
"Oh one thing that slipped my mind, you'll be dead before you can even get to her, THATS NOT A PROBLEM IS IT!" Hades yelled out
"Oh please make it out." Ruby muttered to herself as Weiss, Blake and Yang all nodded agreeing with her statement
Meanwhile Hercules was diving fast into the vortex and heading straight to Meg's soul. But his body was already being effected as his skin turned wrinkled, his hair gray and his muscles shrunk. As this happened the three fates watch once again as Lachesis pulled out his thread of life and Clotho the scissors of death while Atropos watched with anticipation once more. Hercules got close and closer while his body aged quicker and as Hercules was right at Meg's soul he reach out for her hand. Meanwhile Lachesis straightening the thread out and Clotho snapped the scissors to cut the thread but instead of cutting it the scissors blades snapped a little as the kept trying to cut his strings over and over with no change as it glowed bright orange now
"Well I guess that he's dead, now then it's your girl's turned to die. Don't worry I'll make it quick and I'm sure Maleficent will be happy to have your hearts." Hades said as he prepared to kill the girls who summon their keyblades
"Who are you talking about?" Ruby asked but before Hades could answer he along with the girls notice a light coming from the vortex, then out cam a glowing hand along with a now restored glowing Hercules holding the soul of Meg
"This is…this is impossible you could only survive if you were a…were a…" Hades said in a shock
"A god?" Pain and Panic yelled out as they entered the room
"He did it!" Weiss yelled out as she hugged Ruby tightly and Ruby hugged her back
"He really did do it." Blake said with a smile as she and Yang hugged one another happily
"AHAHAHHA!" Hades yelled out in anger as he calmed himself quickly and ran up to him "Hercules you can't do this to me you ca-" he pleaded but only for Hercules to walked past him while punching his face in…literally
"Fine okay…" Hades muttered as he recover from the blow and stopped in front of Hercules once more "Look can we talk, Zeus he's a fun guy right so maybe you can put in a good word for him so we can just blow this whole thing off. Meg, talk to him." He said trying to make sure he wouldn't get the ultimate punishment waiting for him but he also grabbed the face of Meg's soul which didn't boat well with Hercules
"And he's done for." Yang said with a wide grin
"Indeed, girls shall we count down." Ruby said as they began to slowly move their fingers from three
"What are girls doing?" Hades asked very confused
"Oh you want to know my good sir, Blake would you kindly inform the man." Weiss said with an amused smile
"I can, you see Hades your about to get your light knocked out right about…now." Blake said with a very wide smile as smirking Hercules rounded his fist up and uppercut Hades right into the well of soul. When Hades landed in the well the souls began to cling onto him as if they knew he was their tormentor
"Hey get off me, get of me now…no…no….NOOOOOO!" Hades yelled out as the souls dragged him down into the deep unknown of the well
"Oh boy he sure is going to be mad when he gets out…" Panic said with a very nervous tone
"What do we, what do we do!" Pain asked out loud in a worry
"If he come out you." Ruby said back to them as Pain and Panic both looked at each other
"If…I like the sound of that." Panic said as he and Pain smiled and then disappeared into smoke
"Well that's the last of them isn't it?" Blake asked with relief
"Yes it is Blake, and I think we can finally get the keyhole now." Ruby replied back smiling at their victory
"I think you can." Hercules said with a smile "Don't worry Meg is safe now and if this keyhole stops the heartless and whoever else was wanting to attack my world then go for it."
"Roger that, girls I think we know what to do right?" Ruby said as Weiss, Blake and Yang nodded and lifted their Keyblade up. Within seconds the lights shot out straight above the center of the vortex making a locking sound that ensured that this world was safe now.
"Done and done, now come on Hercules we need to get your girls soul back into her body." Yang said as she and the others unsummoned their keyblades
"Sounds like a plan." Hercules replied back as he and the girls began making their way back up
-Back with rest of the group-
"Is everyone alright…." Ikail asked as she was taking a few deep breathes
"I think we are, just a few scratches and such." Vladimir replied back
"I wonder though why the heartless just disappeared though." Dante asked as he cracked his back a little
"It must mean the girls and Hercules were able to defeat Hades and get the keyhole sealed." Donald answered happily at that fact
"Then we have nothing more to worry about, still were could they be now?" Guin said wondering but he got his answer as he heard a nay and a roar revealing a glowing Hercules holding Meg's soul and the girls with wide smiles on their faces as they landed they all ran up to them happy to see they had made it out alive
"Your all alright, that's good to know." Dante said
"Yeah and Hercules here is glowing now." Goofy added in
"Is that her soul?" Guin asked next
"Yeah, it is. If you all excuse me I think I need bring someone back to the living world." Hercules said as he past the group who followed Hercules over to Meg's body
"You think it will work kid?" Phil asked "I just don't want you to get your hopes to up."
"I know Phil, but I have to try." Hercules said as he knelt down a dropped Meg's soul back into her mortal body. Nothing happened at first and everyone there began to worry but suddenly Meg beagn to groan, then she opened her eye to see everyone. When she saw Hercules she couldn't help but smile
"Wonder boy, why did you…" Meg asked but Hercules answered her quickly as he helped her up
"Well, people always do crazy things when they're in love." Hercules said making the girls Aw in delight of the moment while the boys kept quiet and as the two were about to kiss a lightning bolt shot out. Suddenly a large could appeared bellow everyone and lifted them up
"Whoa what is happening!?" Weiss asked freaking out a little at the moment
"I think we're about to get our answer." Ikail said as they passed a few cloud and were blinded by a light. Once light died down they saw it, they saw Olympus with all the gods lined up on each side waiving at them and cheering while Zeus and what the other could tell Hercules mother waited at the center smiling at their son. The whole group made their way up to the center of the area while Zeus and Hercules mother meet them half way
"Hercules were so proud of you." His mother said giving him hug
"Thank you mother." Hercules said with a smile
"You did son, you became a hero." Zeus said giving Hercules a pat on the back
"You risked your life to save this young woman." Hercules mother said as she looked over at Meg with a smile "But we also want to thank you Keyblade wielders and friends for staying by our sons for this long."
"You welcome, um sorry we don't know your name." Ruby replied back
"I am Hera and again thank you all so much for what you have done." Hera said giving them a bow
"My wife is right, Hercules you and your friend should take this to advice well, but a true hero isn't measure by the size of his strength, but by the size of their hearts." Zeus said with a smile while Hercules and the others smiled back from the words Zeus had said
"Well said words I would say." Blake muttered happily
"Now my son, you can come home." Zeus said with joy as the gates open showing the beauty of the Olympus along with the gods piling around Hercules with cheers of joy. But the meanwhile Meg began to walk away
"Congratulation wonder boy, you'll make one heck of god." Meg said with a sad smile
"Meg we're you going?" Goofy asked as he and the other noticed her departure
"Can't say, but I'm just glad he could find his home." Meg replied back but before she could leave she along with rest overheard Hercules
"Mother, Father this is the moment I always dreamed of but…" Hercules said as he walked over to Meg and grabber her hand "Life without meg, even an immortal life would be empty."
"Oh god I'm starting to tear up." Weiss said as she held Ruby close
"Me to Weiss, me too." Ruby replied back holding Weiss now as they beagn tearing up from the happy moment
"Oh come here Blakey I need a hug." Yang said as she hugged Blake who was surprised at first but just let Yang let out a few happy tears as she did as well
"I…I chose to stay on earth with her, I finally know where I belong." Hercules said happily as he and Meg held one another tightly
"Such a beautiful moment." Ikail said tearing up now as well as she looked over to the men who we're kind of tearing up as well surprisingly, well expect Guin but no one could really tell "Are you boy's crying?"
"Nope liquid pride." Donald, Goofy, Dante and Vladimir replied back
"Silly boys…" Ikail muttered with a smile but only for her's and the other attention to be caught when they noticed Hera and Zeus look at each other with surprised looks then a smile as Zeus nodded in approval. Then it finally happened as Hercules de glowed and kissed Meg. This got applause from the gods and goddesses along with the group who we're glad for Hercules moment
"Hit it ladies!" Hermes said as the Muses all popped up from a cloud and began singing (One last song here, enjoy!")
"Gonna shout it from the mountaintops
A star is born
It's a time for pulling out the stops
A star is born
Honey, hit us with a hallelu
The kid came shining through
Girl, sing the song
Come blow your horn
A star is born" The muse sung loudly as they danced a little, meanwhile the whole group was enjoying a bit of time with the various entities and talking to one another as well. Pegasus and Meg were finally getting along and Phil even got lucky with one goddess who made out with him a little. But after a while the whole gang got on Lara, Rita and Pegasus and flew off back down to earth but not before Hercules flew over Phil and pulled him away from his current company.
"He's a hero who can please the crowd
A star is born
Come on ev'rybody shout out loud
A star is born
Just remember in the darkest hour
Whithin your heart's the power
For making you
A hero too
So don't lose hope when you're forlorn" As the muse sung on the group landed back in Thebes with a crowd of cheering citizens waiting for them. As they got off Hercules mortal mother and father ran up to them and gave Hercules a big hug as they were proud of what he had accomplished. While this happened Meg and Ruby both noticed the night sky and as they all looked up they saw that the Zeus was rearranging the stars into a silhouette of Hercules
"That's Phil's boy!" A random male citizen yelled out making Phil tear up a little that his dream was coming true but it wasn't over yet as more stars were rearranged into silhouettes of Ruby, Weiss, Blake, Yang, Donald, Goofy, Ikail, Guin, Dante and Vladimir in heroic poses
"AWESOME!" Ruby, Weiss, Blake, Yang, Donald and Goofy yelled out in happy and surprised
"It really is." Dante said with a small smile as Ikail patted him on the back, Guin nodded agreeing and Vladimir nodded as well
"Just keep your eyes
Upon the skies
Ev'ry night a star is
Right in sight a star is
Burning bright
A star is bornnnnnnnnnnnnn!" As the muse sung the final choruses the whole group stood next to open another happy to know that they had succeed in helping this world and also that they had made a goof few friends in this place. But they knew that they would have to leave now but would stay for the after party (End of song sequence!")
-One hour later after the Party-
"Well I guess this is goodbye isn't it?" Ruby said with a small smile
"It's is I guess, you kid's did good and for your achievements I think you all deserve a title." Phil replied back
"Oh Phil you didn't have to do that for us." Weiss answered back
"No, no I wanted to so as of this moment I hereby give you all the title of junior hero's." Phil said proudly as the other looked at him a little confused
"Junior hero's?!" Donald yelled out a little annoyed
"I have to ask but why give us that title?" Guin asked out of curiously
"Yeah I mean we like kicked butt." Ruby added in
"Totally dude, we should be heroes." Yang said next
"Agreed." Weiss interjected as she out her hand's on her sides while Blake just shrugged
"Girl I think we should let him explain." Dante suggested
"Thank you Dante, but yeah you all haven't reach true hero status yet. But trust me you all will." Phil answered back
"Sound's good to me personally." Blake said with a small smirk
"Well if Blake's cool with it then we are as well." Yang said as Weiss and Ruby nodded in agreement
"Any ways, don't you all worry about us. We can Handel ourselves now and we'll also take care of Rita and Lara as well." Meg said next
"I think that you and Hercules would be a good caretaker for them, beside they have already made friends with Pegasus." Vladimir replied back as he and the other looked over to see Rita, Lara and Pegasus sleeping next to one another
"I have to admit I'll miss those two." Dante said
"Aw Dante, see emotion can be a good thing to show." Ikail said next as she poked his sides softly
"Yeah, just don't go teasing me about it." Dante replied back
"Can't say I won't." Ikail joked
"Girls, I want to say one last time before you get going but thank you….for everything. I'm glad to have great friends like you." Hercules said as he gave the girls a big hug and the girls hugged him back
"We're glad to have met you as well." Ruby replied back happily
"Well never forget the time we've had together." Weiss said next
"And even if we may seem far away, we'll be with you in heart and memory." Blake added in a little surprised at what she was saying
"Yeah but while were gone, keep your head up high and keep smiling." Yang said last as Hercules let them go "Now you and Meg play nice alright."
"Don't worry, I'll make sure wonder boy stays himself." Meg said as she gave Hercules a peck on the cheek making the girls aw one last time
"Donald you know what to do." Ruby said as Donald nodded the press a portal red button he got from his pocket and then they all beagn to disappeared but not before waving goodbye one last time to their good friends.
-Back in the Gummie Ship-
"And we're back to on the ship and hey look we even got our original clothing back!" Ruby said happily as she and the others looked to see they were in their normal clothing once more
"Oh thank goodness, I was getting tired of that toga and sandals." Weiss said with sigh of relief
"I got agree with Weiss on that, I have never missed my boots more than now." Yang said with a wide smile
"Yep, wait how's Vladimir doing?" Blake said next as she realized this would probably be Vlad's first time in a space ship
"He's doing great, trust me." Ikail said as the girls turned around to see Vlad laying on the laps of Guin, Dante and Ikail
"I do apologize for this inconvenience." Vladimir said as he did an apologetic hand nod
"It's alright, not like we can help it." Guin said as Vlad's legs and boots where on his lap
"Don't know why I'm in the center this time?" Dante said a little confused as Vlad's body laid on his lap
"I don't mind having this cutie's head resting on my lap." Ikail said next with a playfully smile as she teased him by pinching his cheek a little
"Miss are you trying to seduce me?" Vladimir asked nervously
"Oh no, just having fun but it is cute on how shy you are." Ikail replied back with a smile
"Can we get going now?" Donald asked
"Not to be rude but we really should be going now." Goofy added
"Yes we can Goofy, next stop Traverse town!" Ruby yelled out joyfully as the ship began towards the gate "I wonder what's happen since we've been gone?" she added in as the other shrugged as then they entered to gate way back to Traverse Town
How did you like this chapter eh, I hope you liked it and I hope you liked the new people added in to Traverse town.
