Hello everyone! And welcome to the next chapter of "The Key to the Titans"! I'm so happy to see this story grow more and more, especially since I never thought it would become this big while summer begins for everyone. Now just to let you know, I will be splitting the Olympus world into two chapters since so much happens in the beginning, like, protecting the city, climbing up the mountain, and fighting the Titans. I hope the other chapters won't take me as long, but I'll work my hardest to get them out. Now, onto the story!

Disclaimer: I do not own Kingdom Hearts or Teen Titans.

Chapter 63: Olympus Pt. 1

At long last, the time had come. The planets were edging into perfect alignment…and the plan the Greek God Hades devised eighteen years ago was about to reach fruition. The Fates had predicted this very future-the day he would seize control of Olympus and rule over all the cosmos.

Hades' previous attempts-using Terra, the SOLDIER Cloud, and the guardian Auron to advance his plans for conquest had failed. The hour was not yet right. But now, the planets were aligned, and nothing could possibly go wrong.

A wave of darkness lanced down from their celestial rank, and one by one, Hades freed the Titans from their prison-some of them the same monstrosities that Sora and his friends had already fought and bested and others that have yet to be revealed. With both the Titans and his longing for vengeance against Zeus reinvigorated Hades began his attack on Olympus.

(In the Mountains, high above the city of Thebes)

After traveling across the vast space of worlds, Sora, Donald, Goofy, and the Teen Titans landed on the world of Olympus. Though instead of landing in front of the Coliseum that the three world travelers were familiar with, they instead found themselves high above the clouds on a rocky mountain where they could see a small city down below. Sora, Donald, and Goofy looked around confused at their new location, trying to figure out how they landed there.

The Teen Titans on the other hand…

"DUDE! I can't believe we're in another world!" Beast Boy exclaimed, zipping around the small cave they were in and inspecting every nook and cranny he could see. Raven quickly reached out and grabbed him by the back of his shirt, making him stop running around.

"Don't touch anything! We don't know how anything works around here." She replied, dropping him to the ground in a heap.

"Oh, but there is so much to explore. It's like I have come to Earth once more, and I have so much to learn." Starfire said, floating around excitedly. Robin quickly grabbed her by the boot, making her stop.

"Raven's right, Star. Besides Sora, Donald, and Goofy, we're all new to this world-traveling thing and we have to be sure we do this right." Robin said.

"Yeah, Sora we're here. What's next?" Cyborg asked. The five Titans turned to see Sora and Donald and Goofy looking around the small area they were in.

"Sora, what's wrong?" Raven asked, walking up to the three.

"I…think we landed in the wrong place again." Goofy said.

"Again? Where else have you guys landed here?" Robin asked.

"Well, the first time, we landed at the Coliseum. The second time, we landed in the Underworld…" Donald said.

"UNDERWORLD?!" the team exclaimed.

"You guys have been to the Underworld?!" Raven asked, surprised, and intrigued.

"Yeah, it was creepy down there. It was dark, misty, and I could've sworn that the smoke was moving when we weren't looking." Donald said. Sora crossed his arms over his chest in thought.

"Me too. I even remember hitting the mist sometimes." Sora said. Meanwhile, Goofy walked closer to the outside of the opening where a lone pillar stood by itself, and he could see the clear blue sky and the trees and grass growing along the mountain.

"Now that is one beautiful view I'll say." Cyborg said, walking next to Goofy.

"Ay-huck, it sure is." Goofy said with a smile.

"Well, guess we'll have to find a way down the mountain." Beast Boy said, letting out a sigh.

"Yes, I'm really looking forward to meeting this Hercules. He sounds very interesting." Starfire said.

"You'll like him, Star. You all will. Now let's get going!" Sora said, walking ahead of everyone.

"Uh, Sora where are you going?" Raven asked.

"Up the mountain. I'm going to see if we can get a better view of where we are." Sora said. Raven nodded and followed him.

"Well, never hurts to have your head in the clouds." Goofy remarked, making Starfire giggle a little. Donald and Goofy eventually followed the two while the rest of the Titans lingered back.

"It is so surreal to actually be with them." Robin said.

"I know dude." Beast Boy said.

"Hey guys, we're going." Sora called out to everyone, and they all sprinted to catch up to them. They walked out from the small walkway into a wide mountainscape with pillars embedded into the walls and large murals made on the rocky walls. They then looked up at one of the walls to see a very large white statue of a man sitting on a throne towering over them and a path that led further up the mountain.

"Wow! Now who do we think that is?" Cyborg asked.

"Hhm, it kinda looks like Hercules." Goofy surmised.

"But older. He has a beard and everything." Donald replied.

"Think it might be his dad?" Sora asked.

"You mean Zeus?" Raven replied.

"As in 'God of Lightning' Zeus?! I gotta take a picture." Beast Boy replied, pulling out a camera and running off to get closer.

"Please, what is a Zeus?" Starfire asked, curious.

"Beast Boy, wait up!" Robin called out. The changeling didn't listen as he ran closer to the cliffside when suddenly a group of Heartless appeared in front of him via bursts of darkness.

"Aha! Bad guys, bad guys!" Beast Boy exclaimed, coming to a stop, and running back to the others before a Solider Heartless could claw at him.

"Heartless! Get ready, everybody!" Sora said, summoning his keyblade. The Titans did the same while Donald pulled out his staff and Goofy summoned his shield.

The Heartless, consisting of Shadows, Soldiers, Air Soldiers who had wings and Greek-themed armor, and the round Large Body Soldiers, rushed forward and attacked the group all at once. The group of heroes engaged the monsters in a quick battle where Raven and Starfire shot at the flying Heartless while Donald covered them with his magic. On the ground, Sora, Goofy, Robin, Cyborg, and Beast Boy dealt with the Shadows, Soldiers, and the Large Body. Cyborg turned his keyblade into a large sonic cannon and fired at the round Heartless, but the projectile bounced off the Heartless' belly and ended up hitting one of the cliffs, causing a small explosion of rocks and smoke.

"Well, that was unexpected." Cyborg said.

"Guys, attack it from behind! Magic is the only thing that can hurt it from the front." Sora yelled out while bashing a Soldier away. Cyborg nodded and distracted the Heartless while Beast Boy snuck up behind it as a snake, turned back into a human, and slashed at the back of the Heartless, making it disappear in a burst of darkness. The rest of the monsters were also easily dispatched by the team, bringing an end to the quick conflict.

"That's it for now. C'mon, let's get going!" Sora said, making his keyblade disappear and run towards the cliffs. Everyone put their weapons away and followed the energetic boy as he ran up the side of the cliffs and up the walls.

"So…is this what you guys do daily? Just go to different worlds and fight monsters?" Beast Boy asked, curiously.

"Pretty much." Goofy said, standing at the base of the cliff with his shield over his head. Donald ran up to him and jumped on top of the shield, using the captain of the guards as a boost to get up the side of the cliffs.

"They are so cool!" Beast Boy said, turning into a falcon and flying after them. Everyone smirked as Starfire carried Robin up the cliffs while Raven used her powers to lift Cyborg up. They eventually reached a small cliff with two trees that grew apples on the sides that overlooked the mountainscape below them.

"Hhm, I can't see the Coliseum from here." Sora said, looking out at the large view before them.

"Are you sure we landed in the right world?" Robin asked, walking up to his teammate's side.

"I know Sora would never lead us astray." Goofy said.

"Uhm, guys…what's that?" Beast Boy asked, pointing up at the clouded skies. Everyone followed his gaze to see a small dark ball moving down from the mountaintop.

"Is that someone falling?" Starfire asked.

"No, it seems to be in control." Cyborg said, getting a closer look with his eye.

"And it looks like it's coming right for us." Raven said. The ball soon landed right behind them as smoke fell from around the impact point.

"All right. I know I dotted my I's, crossed my T's, and zeroed the hero. So, what gives? What could possibly be giving me a migraine on this day of all days?" A voice said as the smoke faded away to reveal a very tall man talking to himself. He had blue skin, yellow eyes with black pupils, sharp teeth, and blue flaming hair. He was dressed in a dark grey shirt with a black toga over it which was held up by a small skull pin on his right shoulder and the bottom of his robes were covered in dark clouds.

"Hades?!" Sora and Goofy exclaimed.

"Wait! Hades?!" The Titans questioned all at once.

"Huh, looks like you were right Sora." Donald replied.

"Oh, it's just you three. Oy vey. And…some new ya-hoos by the look of it." Hades replied.

"Ya-hoos?" Beast Boy asked.

"Huh! His hair is on fire! Like other Tamaraneans from my home. Please, are you by any chance from Tamaran?" Starfire asked, running her hands through his fire hair. Hades quickly slapped her hands away in annoyance.

"Hey, hey, hey! Watch the hair, redness! And Tama-whatever, no never heard of it!" Hades replied.

"Wait, you're actually the God of the Underworld?!" Raven asked. Hades smiled and moved closer to her.

"Finally, some recognition, even from one of the newbies. And you are Ms…?" Hades asked, resting an arm around her shoulder, making her grimace in disgust.

"Raven." The Titan replied, shrugging his arm off.

"Raven. The name's Hades. Though you already know who I am and what I do. Ya know, you remind me of another bluebird that I met some time ago. Just as stubborn, but I do sense a little more darkness in you than in her. I could offer some assistance in that department if you need it." Hades said.

"Not interested. And honestly, I was expecting more from the Lord of the Dead." Raven said, walking away from him and closer to Sora.

"Wha- why you?!" Hades asked.

"Wait, if you're here…then where's Hercules?" Donald asked.

"What is everyone's infatuation with that DOLT?!" Hades screamed in Donald's face as his hair burst into a raging orange color. The God of the Dead took a breath and ran a hand through his hair, turning it back to blue.

"You know what? Never mind. Never mind. I'm cool. I'm good. Because…Wonderboy'll be outta my hair soon enough." Hades said.

"But you don't have hair." Beast Boy said, but Cyborg silenced him.

"What do you mean, Hades?" Robin asked as Sora summoned his keyblade in response.

"Calm down, bird beak. This isn't Sparta. I'm kind of on schedule anyway, so I don't have time to toss around fireballs or explain my dastardly plans. I have some cosmos that need a new ruler!" Hades exclaimed.

"Oh yeah, and how are you gonna do that?!" Cyborg asked but was ignored by the Lord of the Dead.

"Where are my Titans? Show me your power!" Hades bellowed out. Suddenly, the clouds opened up above them and the cliffside started to shake violently.

"Does he mean us or-?!" Beast Boy asked. Suddenly, a powerful and cold wind rushed past them as they looked up to see lava flowing down from one of the upper cliffs and down to where they were. Most of the team had to move to avoid the flowing heat while Hades remained where he stood with his arms outstretched.

"Ahh! Love the breeze!" Hades commented. The wind only increased in power as the team was pushed closer and closer to the edge.

"I think he means them, BB!" Cyborg screamed.

"Everyone stay together!" Sora shouted out as everyone was blown off the cliff and into the sky as the wind carried them further and further from the mountain. Hades walked up to the cliff as he watched the heroes vanish from sight.

"Ahh. That got them out of the way. Hopefully, not in the same direction as the city. Eh, no biggie." Hades said to himself, walking back to the Titans and ordering them to attack the top of the mountain. As the large creatures stomped away, a corridor of darkness opened behind Hades, making the God turn around in annoyance.

"Ugh. Really? Are you kidding? Geez Louise. Seriously, when it rains, it pours. Okay, who's the new pest?" Hades asked. Out of the corridor came Maleficent and Pete, looking better after their previous loss in Jump City.

"Hey, now, that ain't no way to say hello, 'specially to your old friends." Pete replied as the corridor closed behind them.

"Oh, perfect. Now, I gotta put up with you two. Just when I had to deal with the keybrain and his little gang. Funny, I don't remember you doing me any memorable favors. The last time I joined up with you two, I lost twice. So, whatever you want, figure it out yourself. I'm going back to my original plan. All right? So…toodle-oo! Hope you had a great time! Exit's that away! Happy trails!" Hades said, gesturing to his right.

"We are not here for you, Hades. I have my own business to attend to. I just need to know if there is a distinctive, black box…somewhere in this world?" Maleficent asked.

"Black box, huh? Hmm…black box, black box, black box…Wait. Don't tell me…You're after the one Zeus hid on Earth?" Hades asked.

"Possibly. If I were, where might it be?" The witch asked.

(Meanwhile, in the city of Thebes)

The once peaceful city of Thebes, just below the great Mountain of Olympus, was now under attack by the dark forces of Hades. Smoke bellowed out from destroyed buildings and citizens had to run or hide from the Heartless to stay safe. The great hero, Hercules, stood on a stone ledge after cleaning up another mess and getting ready to deal with whatever came next.

Hercules was a young, muscular man, with orange, curly hair, and sky-blue eyes. He wore orange-brown armor that ended in a metal kilt, a brown belt around his waist with a gold emblem that had the symbol of a lightning bolt printed on it, knee-high sandals, two wristbands, and a reddish-brown headband.

The demigod knew why Hades was attacking Thebes. It was to keep him distracted as he and the Titans assaulted Mount Olympus and kidnap his father, Zeus. Hercules couldn't ignore all the innocents under attack, but he also knew that he had to hurry and back up his dad. He needed help with the people and making sure nothing else gets destroyed. He needed backup. He needed-

"Nice save, Raven!" a voice yelled out from the sky. Hercules looked around in confusion until he spotted a dark orb floating across the sky. At first, he thought it was Hades coming to deal with him personally, but as he looked closer, he saw several figures floating in the orb, one of them had a familiar set of spiky hair.

"Yeah, you have really cool magic." Donald said, poking at it.

"Thanks, that was a close one." Raven said.

"Yeah, I didn't really feel like losing my stomach on my first off-world trip." Beast Boy said.

"Don't worry BB. You get used to it." Sora said.

"So, what are we gonna do about Hades?" Goofy asked.

"Yeah, looked like he had a whole team of those things with him!" Cyborg said.

"He called them Titans, like us." Starfire said.

"Not like us, Star. The Titans here are different. They look like they're based more on the elements. Right, Sora?" Robin asked.

"Right. Donald, Goofy and I have only fought two of them, but it looked like he had two new ones with him. We need to get back up there and stop them. But first, we need to find Hercules." Sora said.

"Hey, Sora!" Hercules shouted out to the ball as it floated past him. Everyone looked down at the source of the voice and smiled.

"Found him. I'll set us down." Raven said, making Sora smile in response. She turned the orb and set it down gently in front of Hercules before dispersing it, allowing everyone to land on the ground safely.

"Sora, you guys are here! And some new friends too by the looks of it." Hercules replied.

"We're the Teen Titans. I'm Robin, that's Cyborg, Beast Boy, Starfire, and Raven." Robin said, introducing everyone as they nodded in acknowledgment.

"Titans, huh? Nice to meet you all. My name's Hercules. Though if you're with Sora, then you probably knew that already. You all couldn't have arrived at a better time." Hercules said.

"Yeah, Herc, what's going on? We were up on that mountain, and we had a little run-in with Hades, and he blew us right off the edge." Sora said, looking around the city.

"He said something about conquering the whole cosmos." Goofy replied.

"All of it, huh? Not normal for him to show self-restraint. He's planning on conquering Mount Olympus; the home of the Gods and he's using this attack on the city to keep me busy. But I'll stop him and send him packing back to the Underworld." Hercules replied.

"Sounds like the great Herc could use the help." Beast Boy replied. The hero smiled and nodded in response.

"I'd really appreciate it." Hercules said.

"Well, let's get to work, everybody!" Sora said as they started running to a small courtyard that had pillars built around the yard and a statue of Hercules in the middle. As they did, they ran past a hologram of a small moogle that sat on top of a small blue crystal while holding a blue balloon that had the word 'Shop' written on it.

"Uh, Sora. What is that?" Beast Boy asked confused. Everyone stopped as Sora walked over to the Moogle.

"Oh, it's a Moogle. He and a bunch of others own shops and sell supplies. We buy from them every now and then, so they're helpful when it comes down to it." Sora said.

"Where do they get their supplies?" Starfire asked.

"No one knows. We like to think they craft their items from scratch." Goofy replied.

"Huh, that's cool. But how come they're a hologram and not here?" Cyborg asked.

"I think it has something to do with not being touched or hurt by customers. You see that little red dot on top of their heads?" Sora asked and everyone nodded. "They're sensitive about it. I tried to touch it when I first saw one and wasn't allowed to shop with them for a bit. Let me see what they have quickly, and then we can get going." Sora said, walking over to the small creature. The Moogle happily squeaked when a customer arrived and showed the boy his wares.

"As I always say, easily distracted." Raven said, making everyone giggle a little. Eventually, Sora resupplied everything and rejoined the others as they walked into the courtyard.

"So, besides the perfect timing you guys had, was there another reason you came here, Sora?" Hercules asked, curiously.

"Yeah, there was actually something I wanted to ask you." Sora replied.

"Well, ask away!" The hero said. Sora nodded and took a breath.

"Do you remember the last time we visited? You were feeling down and lost your strength. I wanted to ask how you got your power back when you jumped in and saved Meg." Sora said.

"Hmm…that's a tough one." Hercules said, placing a hand on his chin in thought. "All I knew was that she was in trouble. I wanted to save her with all my heart. Sorry, Sora…but there really isn't a way to explain it." Hercules said, making Sora look down at the ground.

"I see…" the key bearer replied as everyone placed a comforting hand on his shoulders.

"What's the problem, Sora?" Hercules asked, confused.

"You see, my previous strength… it's all gone. I've gotten new powers recently, but I know I'm not as strong as I used to be. That's why I came here- because I was hoping you had an answer for this." Sora said, looking at his hands.

"I wish there was something I could say." Hercules replied.

"Is there anyone who would know?" Raven asked. Hercules crossed his arms in thought before perking up.

"My father! He would probably have the answer. But we'd have to get up the mountain to see him." Hercules said. Everyone nodded until Donald and Beast Boy saw several fireballs falling right toward them.

"Guys, we got incoming!" Beast Boy shouted out.

"Take cover!" Donald yelled. Everyone moved out of the way of the fireballs as they hit the ground around Hercules' statue, making the structure topple over and crash into the courtyard with a loud smash. The smoke and dirt fell to the ground as everyone ran out to see the fireballs were a new breed of Heartless called Fire Cores which spit flames all over the place.

"Heartless! We'll talk later!" Robin said, summoning his keyblade along with everyone else's weapons.

"Right! Let's take these guys out!" Hercules said. One by one, everyone engaged the Fire Core creatures, hoping to avoid more damage to the city. Sora and Robin charged first, attacking the first group of cores and clearing a path for everyone. Starfire took a shot at one of the Cores with her starbolts, but suddenly the core lit up in bright flames and started chasing after her at high speeds.

"Be careful not to ignite them!" Starfire called out, flying ahead of the core. Sora quickly looked up to see her and the core flying around and readied a Water spell.

"Star, when I tell you, go high!" Sora called out. The Tamaranean nodded and flew towards Sora as the Core got closer to her. "High!" He yelled. Starfire suddenly flew up in the air and Sora fired the water spell at the Core, putting its fire out and destroying it in one shot.

The rest of the team worked together to defeat the rest of the Cores: Cyborg and Hercules ripped out chunks of the ground and hurled them at a few cores, knocking them all out like bowling pins and the two high-fived in acknowledgment; Goofy blocked a few fireballs that were headed towards Beast Boy's direction as the changeling turned into an elephant and sprayed water on the Heartless, dousing their flames and leaving them open to attacks and allowing Donald and Raven to destroy the rest with powerful Blizzard spells. Everyone put their weapons away and relaxed as the last Heartless vanished in a burst of darkness.

"Thanks, guys. You all really work well together." Hercules said. Everyone smiled and nodded in appreciation at the comment.

"Hercules!" Someone yelled from above. Everyone looked up to see a flying horse circling above them before landing behind Hercules. The horse was pure white with two large wings on the sides of its body, a blue tail, and blue hair sprouting from the top of its head. Riding the horse was two passengers: a woman with long hair tied in a ponytail, and violet eyes, and was wearing a long, pink dress and orange sandals. The other passenger was a short satyr, a half-man and half-goat creature with red skin and a bald head. The woman stepped down and ran to Hercules while the short goat slid off to the ground.

"Meg! Phil!" Hercules said, running up to the woman.

"Sora, is that-"Raven asked, excited.

"Pegasus? Sure is." Sora replied, making her and the rest of the team freak out.

"Herc! Glad to see you're safe." Phil replied.

"Same to you guys." Hercules said.

"Glad nothing was too seriously destroyed. Unlike your statue." Meg said, sadly. Everyone turned their gaze at the fallen monument, but Hercules smiled and placed a comforting hand on her shoulder.

"It's alright, guys. We can always rebuild again. We're just lucky Sora and his friends showed up when they did." Hercules said.

"Well, whaddaya know." Meg said.

"Well, if ain't the now official heroes and some new company!" Phil said, running up to the group.

"Hey, how you are doing, Phil?" Sora asked, kneeling next to him.

"At this point, I could be doing better, kid. We could really use the help." Phil said.

"Where can we help? We'll do whatever we can." Robin said as the Titans nodded in agreement.

"Uh, I dunno. If you catch my drift, you guys don't look like your 'hero material." Phil said, inspecting them.

"WHAT?!" The Titans yelled altogether.

"We are for sure heroes, dude!" Cyborg exclaimed.

"We have saved people several times!" Starfire said.

"Yeah man, cut us a break!" Beast Boy replied.

"Phil, seriously?" Hercules asked, with his hands on his waist.

"What? I just don't see it is all." Phil replied.

"Phil, they're heroes. Trust me. And besides, you could use the help." Sora spoke up. Phil crossed his arms over his chest and tapped his hoof against the cement before letting out an annoyed huff.

"All right, but when all is said and done, I'm training every one of ya. Ain't no one's calling themselves a hero without my say so." Phil said, walking back to Pegasus.

"Wait-is he serious?" Cyborg asked.

"Oh yeah, when it comes to training, Phil is always serious." Goofy replied.

"Meg, you, and Phil need to get somewhere safe. We'll search the city and make sure everyone gets out safely." Hercules said.

"All right. Be careful, Wonderboy." Meg said.

"I will." Hercules replied.

"You too, kid. Watch each other's backs out there." Phil said to Sora.

"You know it. We're heroes now, Phil." Goofy exclaimed.

"We'll break a leg, heroes and…we'll call the new guys trainees for now." Phil said, jumping onto Pegasus' back.

"HEY!" The Titans yelled in annoyance. Meg giggled and climbed up Pegasus as well while Hercules scratched the horse's neck.

"Keep them safe." Hercules said and Pegasus nodded in response before flying away.

"So majestic indeed." Starfire replied, watching the horse fly away until it was out of sight.

"Where do we start first?" Robin asked. Suddenly, a scream echoed across the courtyard, catching everyone's attention.

"Sounds like a little girl." Cyborg replied.

"But where's it coming from?" Donald asked. Beast Boy and Goofy focused their hearing until they could pinpoint the source of the yell.

"That way! To the right of the courtyard." Beast Boy said. Cyborg used his cybernetic eye to zoom in to see a little girl standing atop a cliff trying to avoid the flames.

"It's a little girl! She's trying to avoid the fires!" Cyborg replied.

"We'll get her! Raven, think you could give me, Donald, and Goofy a lift?" Sora asked.

"Don't even have to ask." Raven replied, creating a shield around the trio, and lifting them in the air.

"The rest of us we'll stay here and back up Hercules! We'll meet up later!" Robin shouted out to them.

"Sounds like a plan. Be safe." Sora called back as Raven carried them away.

"So, where do we start first, Herc?" Beast Boy asked.

"Let's start by securing the courtyard. Then we'll work our way through the city helping out as we go." Hercules said.

"Sounds like a plan." Cyborg said.

"Let us save the day." Starfire exclaimed.

"Lead the way, Hercules." Robin said. The hero nodded and ran down the cobblestone path as the Titans followed him.

(Meanwhile, with Sora, Raven, Donald, and Goofy)

Sora jumped down from the cliff with the little girl safe in his arms and set her down on the ground while Donald and Raven put out the flames around them while Goofy helped by using his shield.

"Thank you for saving me." The girl said, bowing to them.

"No problem. Go find your family, ok?" Sora replied. The girl nodded and ran off as the four regrouped.

"Let's check and see if anyone else is in trouble." Sora said. The three nodded in agreement until they suddenly heard a portal opening behind them.

"Huh, not here either, Maleficent." A familiar voice said.

"Well, if it isn't Sora and the King's pawns." Maleficent's voice spoke out and they turned to see the witch and Pete stepping out from the portal.

"Hehehe, and the blue witch too." Pete chuckled to himself.

"Maleficent! Pete!" Donald exclaimed as everyone readied their weapons.

"You two seemed to have bounced back after our last meeting." Raven replied.

"Are you the reason the Heartless are here?" Goofy asked.

"Certainly not. They came of their volitation." Maleficent replied.

"Then you wouldn't mind if we stop you both here and now?" Sora said. Pete got into a fighting stance while Maleficent remained stationary.

"C'mon, Maleficent! Let's take these punks out here and now!" Pete exclaimed, but Maleficent stopped him with a wave of her hand.

"Waste no time with them, Pete. They're inconsequential to the grand scheme. We have a far more pressing matter to attend to." Maleficent said.

"Oh, uh, right," Pete said, relaxing.

"As for you four and the rest of your ilk: we shall meet again…when I have time for such trifles." Maleficent said, opening another corridor of darkness and walking into it.

"Yeah, and hopefully you'll still be around before then or you'll miss out on all the fun. Later, twerps!" Pete said, waving goodbye.

"Wait!" Sora said, running after them. He took a swing at the portal but was too late as it vanished out of sight. He let out his breath and de-summoned his keyblade, his eyes staring down at the ground. Raven, Donald, and Goofy slowly walked up to him, cautious of how the boy would react.

"Sora?" Donald asked. Raven placed a comforting hand on his shoulder as he slowly turned to look at her.

"Are you okay?" She asked.

"I'm fine. It's just- "Sora replied with a small smile.

"Hey, don't let them get to you. We are going to stop them." Raven said. Sora smiled and nodded.

"Right. I can take it." Sora said.

"You're gonna get stronger, Sora. I know it." Donald replied.

"And we'll be right there to back you up." Goofy said. Sora smiled at those words as he perked back up.

"Thanks guys. Now, let's get a move on." Sora said. Raven looked out across the ledge that overlooked the entire city.

"I think the others are going to be working their way to the middle of the city. We should do the same on our end." Raven said.

"Sounds like a plan. Down this way." Goofy said, pointing at a flight of stairs that led into the city. Everyone nodded in agreement as they ran down the staircase and into a small alleyway. Suddenly, the floor shook as one of the Fire Cores smashes through one of the buildings next to them and lands in front of them, blocking their path. Several more Cores do the same as they block the only exit for the team.

"Let's get rid of them quick. There are people to save!" Donald replied as everyone summoned their weapons and attacked separately.

(Meanwhile, with Hercules and the Teen Titans)

Hercules lifted a large piece of rock from the ground and moved it to the side, allowing the trapped citizens below it to run free while Robin, Starfire, Beast Boy, and Cyborg defeated the rest of the Heartless surrounding them. When the threat was dealt with, Hercules walked up to them as the team put their keyblades away.

"Nice work everyone! Let's keep moving further into town." Hercules said.

"Sounds like a plan." Robin replied as everyone followed the Hero of Olympus through the town. As they ran through the town, Beast Boy ran closer to Hercules.

"May I ask, Hercules, what kind of adventures have you been on with friend Sora?" Starfire asked.

"Some pretty good ones. I honestly can't think of a time when Sora wasn't around to help deal with Hades. Except when I was younger." Hercules replied.

"He sounds like he's been a big help around here." Robin said.

"He really has. He's helped me get my strength back, save my friends, and has been a good combatant in the tournaments." Hercules replied.

"Combatant?" Cyborg asked.

"Yeah, the Coliseum we have here is also hosts to several tournaments and Sora, Donald, and Goofy participated in each one. They've even gone up against me a couple of times, well just Sora anyway." Hercules said.

"Sora's fought you before?!" Beast Boy exclaimed.

"Twice so far actually. And he's won both times too." Hercules said.

"WHAT?!" the Titans exclaimed all at once.

"Yeah, and I wasn't even holding back when we fought. He really is a tough kid." Hercules said.

"He really is. Hey, at the end of this, why don't we go for a round? If Spike can beat ya, I reckon I can." Cyborg exclaimed.

"I too would like to partake in this round." Starfire said.

"I'm in. But let's save that for when we're done here." Hercules replied.

"Agreed, let's keep going. Looks like people are taking refuge in a nearby building." Robin said.

"Let's go! Can't wait to see more cool things." Beast Boy said, rushing forward.

(Later, with Sora, Raven, Donald, and Goofy)

After defeating the Fire Cores and saving a few citizens along the way, the four companions arrived at a small green courtyard with fountains and pillars surrounding them after getting past the debris and flames.

"Did we really have to use Goofy's shield to get past everything?" Raven asked.

"C'mon, Raven, it was fun, and you didn't have to use any of you're magic." Sora said.

"You almost fell off and you guys bumped into a few walls while you slid. I could've easily lifted all of us over everything." Raven said.

"Yeah, but it was still a fun way to see the city, right?" Goofy asked.

"He's got a point, Raven." Donald replied as the two walked forward, leaving Sora and Raven behind.

"Are they always this optimistic?" Raven asked.

"Yep. You get used to it. Now you see where I get it from." Sora replied.

"That explains a lot. But I will admit, it was funny seeing you guys slide like that. I had to try and keep up a couple of times." Raven said, making Sora laugh a little.

"Well, if you want, you can join us next time." Sora said.

"Highly doubtful." Raven retorted.

"Sora! Raven! We found another citizen." Goofy called out. The two quickly took off after their friends to indeed see a woman sitting atop a tall pillar to get away from more Heartless.

"Someone help!" The woman called out.

"Don't worry, ma'am! We'll deal with these guys!" Sora said to her as everyone got ready to fight.

"You handle them. I can get her down." Raven suggested.

"Got it!" Sora said as he, Donald, and Goofy charged and attacked the Fire Cores while Raven floated up to the top of the pillar. Goofy blocked several fire blasts that were aimed at the Titan while Sora and Donald cast Blizzard in retaliation, freezing them in place and leaving them open for the finishing blow. As the trio finished up with the Cores, Raven reached the top and created a small black platform for the woman.

"Step on. I won't let you fall." Raven reassured. The woman nodded and slowly climbed on as Raven floated back down at a safe pace. Once they were back on the ground, the woman stepped down from the platform and ran up to the trio with Raven right behind her.

"Thank you all. You're so kind and brave. You're just like Hercules." The woman said, waving goodbye and running for safety.

"That was nice of her to say." Sora said. Everyone nodded and continued onward back into the city, where they saw another Fire Core crash into another building, making it topple and break apart on top of another building, making the ground shake beneath them.

"Oh no." Sora said, saddened at the destruction.

"C'mon, let's go see if anyone was caught up in it." Raven said. The trio nod and run through the building, finding more citizens, and protecting them from the Heartless. After sliding past another burning building, which Raven denied again, they continued through an alleyway where a building was on the verge of collapse. They ran to see the inside on fire and the roof falling apart and only being held up by Hercules, Cyborg, and Starfire to protect more citizens, while Robin and Beast Boy protected them from the Heartless.

"Guys!" Sora called out.

"Sora! Good timing!" Robin called out as he slashed a soldier away. Sora and Raven summoned their keyblades while Donald and Goofy got out their weapons.

"We could use the backup, please!" Beast Boy cried out, ducking another fireblast.

"You got it!" Donald said. Suddenly, the roof shook more and they heard debris crashing behind them and they looked to see the entrance was now cut off by rocks and boulders.

"So much for that way!" Raven replied.

"You guys got the roof?" Sora asked.

"Oh yeah, so long as you guys got those pesky fireballs!" Cyborg exclaimed, pushing the stone back.

"Please hurry! We must save these people!" Starfire said.

"Let's do this quick, then!" Goofy said. With that, everyone engaged the Fire Cores and one by one, started destroying the Heartless. Robin and Beast Boy covered each other as the changeling turned into an elephant and sprayed water everywhere, putting the cores out while Robin tossed freeze discs to keep them busy.

Donald cast Blizzard and Water all around at the Heartless before casting a powerful Thunder spell, electrocuting, and destroying them while Goofy shot around like a cannon with his shield held in front of him to destroy the flying Heartless.

Sora and Raven covered each other from the Heartless until Sora let out a burst of energy and changed his clothes to his old red color. He and Raven started their keyblades at the Heartless around them until they summoned energy to their blades and fired bolts of light and darkness at them, eventually clearing the room of the dark beings.

When everything was clear, Sora and the group ran up to the three struggling heroes as the building caved in even more.

"Get everyone out of here!" Hercules shouted out.

"Got it!" Robin called out as he and everyone helped the people to their feet. "This way!" Robin yelled, throwing an explosive disc at a nearby wall, blowing it out, and creating a hole wide enough for everyone. The heroes led the people out while Sora remained behind to see Hercules, Starfire, and Cyborg struggling.

"Sora go! We'll catch up!" Cyborg called out. Sora remained stationary, conflicted about what to do before eventually running out of the hole. Sora eventually caught up with everyone outside as the ground shook more and more.

"Where's Herc and the others?" Robin asked.

"They're- "Sora started when suddenly the whole building fell apart in front of them in a massive crash. Sora and Raven created a shield around everyone to protect them from dust and debris. Once everything settled, everyone looked up to see the entire building in shambles.

"Oh no…" Sora said, walking closer to the rubble. He looked closer into the dust, hoping for at least a sign of his friends until he saw three familiar figures walking out of the building, completely unscathed.

"See, Spike. Told ya we'd catch up!" Cyborg said, making everyone smile and laugh.

"That was a tiring exercise." Starfire said as Robin hugged her.

"You scared all of us!" Sora, Donald, and Goofy replied, while Raven shook her head with a small smirk.

"It's nothing. Just another day being a hero." Hercules replied with a big grin on his face. Suddenly, they heard another corridor of darkness open and they all turned to see a man step out from the portal and walk up to them while clapping his hands. He wore the traditional Organization XIII black coat, black boots, and gloves, had long silver hair tied in a ponytail, a yellow eye, a scar on the left side of his face, and a black eyepatch over his right eye.

"Oh, wow! Very nice, full marks." The man replied as the portal closed behind him.

"You!" Donald said, standing at the ready.

"The sniper guy!" Goofy replied, following the magician's lead.

"Xigbar!" Sora said, gripping his fists in anger.

"All this altruism is giving me the warm and fuzzies." Xigbar replied.

"Sora, is he- "Robin whispered.

"With Xehanort? Yeah." Sora nodded.

"Oh, and I can finally meet the new kids on the block. The name's Xigbar, how are you enjoying your little vacay from home?" Xigbar asked.

"Just fine, as long as it means helping Sora!" Robin said.

"I dunno. I don't think he's worth traveling across worlds and abandoning your home. I mean, you never what might happen while you're gone." Xigbar said, making the Titans grit their teeth in anger. "By the way, nice save there, Wonder Boy. Though I wonder, does having a good heart come with a good insurance policy?" The sniper asked.

"Just say what you have to say and get out of here." Sora demanded.

"Oh, but I have. No good will ever come from putting other people first." Xigbar replied.

"What?! Yo, are you insane?" Cyborg exclaimed.

"Saving people, including the people we hold dearest, gives us the strength to keep fighting." Starfire said.

"It gives us the courage to keep going." Robin said.

"To make sure everyone is safe." Raven said.

"And really makes us want to kick the bad guy's butt." Beast Boy replied.

"I was able to save Meg's life because I was ready to risk my own." Hercules said.

"All because you've got friends in high places, or in your little team's case, all over, you mean. Things like don't fly for your average joe." Xigbar said, walking closer to the destroyed building.

"What do you know? You missed out on the whole thing! If you did, you'd be impressed by the strength of my friends." Sora spoke up.

"That's where you're wrong, kid. I don't admire one guy leaping into danger if it means someone else might have to jump in to save him. You'd all just be lining up to lose. Dooming others to fall with ya or after you. Oh, and you can spare me the usual party line. Yes, hearts are powerful when they're connected. But, put too much power in one place and some of those hearts might end up breaking apart. Still, that doesn't mean you should change so much, Sora." Xigbar said, pointing at Sora.

"What?" Sora asked, confused.

"Accept the power you're given. Find the hearts joined to yours." The sniper continued in a cryptic tone.

"Why should I ever take advice from you?" Sora asked, angered.

"Pfft, as if! From where I see it, you don't have much choice but to follow our sweet little trail of breadcrumbs. And in the end, you'll finally realize what destiny has in store for you. In fact, your reward might be right around the corner. You're so close!" Xigbar said. In response, Raven stepped in front of Sora protectively and summoned her keyblade.

"Hurt him and I'll show you what destiny has planned for you!" Raven said, pointing her weapon at Xigbar. The sniper only smirked and turned his back to the group.

"As if, little witch. Ciao for now." Xigbar said, walking into the fog and disappearing into another corridor of darkness. Raven put her keyblade away while Sora looked down.

"Was it just me or did that not make any sense?" Beast Boy asked.

"No, it's not just you." Cyborg said.

"And now you're officially part of the team." Goofy said.

"Sensational!" Starfire exclaimed.

"Sora?" Raven asked, catching everyone's attention.

"Hearts breaking? Whose hearts?" Sora asked himself.

"Don't let him get to you, Sora." Hercules replied.

"He's right. He's just trying to get under your skin. Just like Slade and everyone else. But he won't." Robin assured his teammate.

"Slade?" Donald whispered to Goofy, to which the captain shrugged his shoulders in confusion.

"We'll show him that all our fights…they haven't been for nothing." Cyborg replied. Sora looked at his friends who nodded in agreement as a smile returned to his face.

"You're right. Thanks guys." Sora said.

"Besides, we're a team! When we're together, we can do anything!" Donald replied.

"Right, let's go!" Sora said, everyone nodded and started making their way back to the courtyard, but not before Sora cast one more look at where Xigbar vanished.

"…What reward?" he asked himself.

"Hey." Someone said next to him, and he turned to see Raven standing in front of him, snapping him out of his inner thoughts. "Don't fall behind, ok?" She asked and he looked to see everyone waiting for him.

"R-right." Sora said with a smile. With that, he took off down the alleyway with everyone following behind him until they reached a small waterway that was blocked by a stone wall.

"Uh, I don't think there was another way around." Sora said.

"I got this Spike." Cyborg said, walking up to the wall. Cracking his knuckles, he took a stance and threw a punch at the wall, easily shattering it into pieces and opening a path back into the yard. "All clear." The Titan said.

"Gwarsh, thanks, Cyborg." Goofy said. Everyone ran out of the waterway, only to come to a halt to see a giant Heartless stomping around the courtyard.

It was easily as big as Cinderblock, only it wore purple armor around its gargantuan body. There was an opening for its head and its neck had chains wrapped around it that connected to the armor. It had two massive shoulder plates with golden outer plates, cracked horns on the ends, armor and chains on its forearms, and two plates of armor on its feet. The Heartless also wielded a large battle axe with a purple Heartless face in the center and two giant blades on each side. This was the Rock Troll Heartless. The troll let out a battle roar and slammed its axe down on the ground, making the ground shake and rock pillars shoot up from the floor.

"Don't remember leaving this thing here." Beast Boy exclaimed as everyone readied themselves.

"Titans, go!" Robin yelled. Everyone started attacking as more Heartless showed up to back up the giant. The Rock Troll swung its axe around, making everyone take cover from the horizontal swing. Hercules quickly reacts by pulling a rock out from the ground and tossing it at the Troll. The Heartless is stunned a little at the hit before shooting another boulder out from its mouth and hitting the hero, knocking him to the ground.

Cyborg ran over to a nearby pillar and pulled it out from the earth. He swung it at the Troll's face like a baseball bat, knocking it to the ground. He went for another swing, but the Troll quickly got up and swung his axe, destroying the pillar and sending Cyborg flying into a wall.

Starfire, Raven, and Donald shot magic bolts, fireworks, and starbolts at the Troll, who defended itself with its axe before planting it into the ground, jumped onto the blades, and started spinning around, making several rocks shoot out in all directions, making the three take cover from the assault.

Robin and Beast Boy charged and attacked several times with their keyblades until the Troll placed the axe over its face, letting out a fierce roar as its body got covered in a red aura.

"It's angry! It's angry!" Beast Boy yelled as the Troll charged at the two like a mad bull. The two ran away as Sora and Goofy ran toward them.

"Bombardier?" Goofy asked.

"Bombardier!" Sora agreed. The keybearer jumped on top of Goofy's shield and the captain launched the two high into the air. Sora then grabbed Goofy by the hand and spun in the air a few times before launching Goofy right into the troll's face, destroying the mask part of the axe and breaking its rage. Sora then summoned his pirate ship attraction and rammed it into the troll several times along with shooting several Water spells at it. The spells and ship eventually took out the Troll and the other Heartless in the courtyard.

"Well, that was intense. But I think we're clear." Sora said, making the ship disappear as everyone gathered.

"I…don't think I'll ever get used to your guy's lifestyle." Beast Boy said, laying down on the ground.

"I gotta agree on that." Robin said. Suddenly, Pegasus came flying back towards them and landed softly, allowing Meg and Phil to step off.

"Nice job, Wonderboy." Meg said.

"Yeah not bad kid. You did good." Phil replied.

"We checked the whole area. Looks like everyone's safe." Meg replied.

"That's good to hear." Hercules said.

"The trainees did good too." Phil replied.

"Will you quick calling us that- you know what nevermind." Cyborg exclaimed. Suddenly, everyone heard a large crack of thunder, and they looked up to see the top of Mount Olympus surrounded by swirling dark clouds.

"Uh-oh, more trouble." Meg said in response.

"It's Hades and the Titans." Hercules said.

"Wait, you mean these Titans or the big Titans?" Phil asked.

"The big ones, Phil." Sora replied, and the trainer nodded in response.

"We were up there before Hades knocked us off." Starfire replied. Sora looked up at the clouds before nodding in agreement before turning to the world hero.

"Herc! Let's go!" Sora yelled.

"Right! Pegasus, keep them safe." Hercules said. The horse nodded and took into the air as the group ran to the base of the mountain, prepared for the ascent up Mount Olympus.
