[spoiler=Traverse Town]

 

[spoiler=Chapter14: Traverse Town]

 

 

 

A dark room echoed with silence, torches were lit on the surrounding wall, 4 beings stood surrounding a crystal ball that showed Sora, Donald and Goofy’s ship flying. There was a small dark veranda that when viewing from it, one could see all of Radiant Gardens and notice that they were in a big castle surrounded by a giant valley. Surrounding the white crystal ball was a witch in all black holding a black staff, her face was pale white and affectionless, next to her was a dog like creature wearing red and blue, it was Pete and Malificent. They stood looking on at the crystal ball.

 

“Looks like Sora’s disobeyed the king again, perfect, the heartless are currently roaming the worlds, Sora will try to protect them!” Malificent dictated as she walked to the veranda looking at the surroundings.

 

“Don’t you all agree?” Malificent questioned.

 

“Of course Malificent!” Pete called with a grin on his face.

 

“Sora doesn’t stand a chance, what he thinks is good will turn out bad.” Replied one of the figures surrounding the crystal ball in a confused and dopey tone, its appearance was unseeable to the eye due to it being surrounded by shadows.

 

“Tramboline, you know what worlds to control don’t you? Don’t let me down!” Malificent snapped at the trampoline like heartless. The Heartless cowered for a second then nodded with a sinister grin.

 

The other 2 surrounding the crystal ball were unseeable to the eye, as they were covered by the shadows. Malificent grinned and laughed out loud as she lifted her arms in the air 1,000’s of heartless swamped the valley.

 

“Radiant Gardens belongs to the heartless!” Malificent yelled, her voice echoing through the valley.

 

On the other side of the valley where the Heartless were yet to fill, stood Yuffie, Aerith and Cloud along with Leon who was holding his sword but on one knee panting quite heavily.

 

“There’s too many of them” Aerith began. “We have to leave.”

 

“We can’t leave!” Leon snapped as he slowly stood up. “We can’t let the heartless take over again!”

 

“She’s right Leon.” Cloud said as he walked forward slightly looking on at the heartless. “If it wasn’t for that kid, you wouldn’t be here. There’s too many, let’s head to Traverse Town and think of a plan.”

 

Yuffie nodded in agreement as Leon sighed.

 

“…Fine…let’s go…” Leon muttered as they walked away from where the valley was.

Meanwhile, Sora, Donald and Goofy continued to fly through space.

 

“New worlds?” Sora questioned in anticipation.

 

“Well yer Sora, you see over time each world moves slightly, so there are bound to be more worlds then we can see.” Goofy replied. Sora looked forward thinking to himself.

 

“Wow…new worlds…”

 

“Hey look!” Donald called out as he pointed forward . Not too far away was a world.

 

“Is that…Traverse Town?” Sora asked.

 

“Yer it is Sora.” Goofy replied. “Maybe Riku’s there?”

 

“Hey yea!” Sora replied with confidence. “Then we can find out what’s going on!”

 

As the ship approached the world it landed outside a giant wooden door that was connected to a giant brick wall. Sora, Donald and Goofy all walked up to the door and began using all their strength to push it open, as it opened it was revealed that there were many people moving around the area. Sora Donald and Goofy walked around slightly confused. Sora looked at a sign above them, it wrote “Traverse Town, The safe Haven”

 

“The safe haven?” Sora questioned as Donald and Goofy pondered over the signs meaning. They continued to walk forward and up the 4 stairs. Sora, Donald and Goofy walked into the shop in front of them that was currently owned by Cid.

 

As they walked in they noticed Yuffie, Aerith, Leon and Cloud in the room, who all looked surprised to see them and vice versa.

 

“Sora? Donald? Goofy?” Yuffie called out, directing everyone’s view to the 3.

 

“What’s all that rackus!” snapped Cid who slid down the ladder of the 2nd floor. As he noticed the 3 he smiled and folded his arms. “Well look who it is!”

 

“What are you’se doing here?” Leon asked.

 

Sora put his hands behind his head. “Haha, is that the way to say hi?”

 

Leon smiled as cloud leaned against the wall. “I take it you 3 are here to take down the heartless again?”

 

“Heartless?!” Sora questioned in a confused tone.

 

“Yea they’re everywhere again!” Aerith replied.

 

Sora sighed. “But how did they manage to come back?”

 

“We don’t know.” Leon responded. “But they took over Radiant Gardens.”

 

“So thatsh why everyonesh here!” Donald concluded as he nodded his head.

 

“First Riku acting strange, and now heartless?” Sora rhetorically said as he lowered his arms.

 

“There are many other worlds that need your help. This one’s safe for now. Thanks to Merlin and Yen Sid. But I have a question if you didn’t know there were heartless then why did you’se come back?” Cloud asked while looking out the window.

 

Sora looked down disheartendly. “Riku’s gone…we’re looking for him.”

 

“Why don’t you check nearby worlds?” Yuffie asked causing Sora to look up with anticipation.

 

“I think we might check the districts a bit first, you know just in case.” Sora replied as he began to turn around. “We’ll catch up with you’se later”

 

Sora, Donald and Goofy walked out of the shop.

 

“Do you think it was Sora that helped you Leon? I mean, he is the same size as the other one.” Yuffie asked.

 

Leon shook his head. “No, it was someone else…”

 

 

 

[spoiler=Chapter 15: The Soulciety]

 

 

 

Sora, Donald and Goofy continued to walk North of Traverse Town. As they approach a big wall with a big door in the middle they look at a sign close by that wrote, “2nd District”.

 

Sora, Donald and Goofy pushed the giant wooden door open, they immediately notice the various small shops on each side of the area, the place was dead quiet as

there seemed to be no one within the area.

 

Sora, Donald and Goofy walked forward and down stairs that led to the open area.

 

“Where do you think everyone is?” Sora questioned as they continued to make their way down the stairs.

 

“I don’t know, maybe there’sh heartlesh?” Donald concluded as they walked into the open area.

 

Suddenly the 3 came to a stop at once as they saw a man in a dark red and black coat walking to the door to the east that led to third district.

 

“Who’s that!” Goofy called and questioned as they he pointed to the unknown figure.

 

The individual stopped when he heard Goofy call out. Noticeably he was a little shorter then Goofy as he turned to face the 3. A hoodie covered his face from sight.

The figure suddenly lifted his right arm straight out and forward at the 3. Suddenly a red and black unique looking keyblade appeared in his hand.

 

“A Keyblade!” Sora called as he brought forth his kingdom keyblade while standing in a defensive stance. The man in red and black suddenly sprinted forward at the 3 who stood their ground.

 

As he approached a Dark Portal opened in front of the running figure who ran right into it. As the portal disappeared he was gone. Sora, Donald and Goofy didn’t let their guard down for a bit, they then stood straight and continued on heading to the third district door still holding their weapons.

 

“Gawrsh who do you think that was?” Goofy asked causing the three to stop for a moment and think.

 

“Well he had a keyblade? Who do we know that has a keyblade?” Sora asked as he paused for a second then looked at Donald and Goofy with confidence. “Maybe it was Riku!”

 

Donald shook his head. “Would Riku really attack ush but?”

 

Sora’s confidence turned to disappointment. “I guess not…”

 

“Don’t worry there Sora, we’ll find Riku in no time!” Goofy encouraged as he and Donald continued to make their way to the third district door. Sora continued to think for a second.

 

“Who was that? How could he have a keyblade? Where’s Riku?” He thought as he began to make his way to Donald and Goofy who started to open the third district door.

 

Sora walked through the door and was led to a small area with a staircase to his north east and a small building to his left, he stopped and turned to his left looking through the window and remembering the time he, Kairi, Leon and the others were in there. The thought brought a smile to his face, the feeling was short lived however as he heard Donald and Goofy call out from the area the staircase led to. “Sora!!!”

 

Sora immediately turned and jumped over the little ledge rather then run down the stairs. He saw Donald and Goofy in a defensive stance with their weapons out looking up.

 

“What is it guys?” Sora questioned in a confused tone.

 

“Look!” Donald yelled while pointing his staff up.

 

Sora looked up and saw a man wearing black and white pants black and white gloves and a black and white mask standing on a ledge on the other side of the are where the other staircase was.

 

Sora heard a light chuckle from the man as Sora called.

 

“You there! Who are you!?”

 

Sora looked to the man’s left and saw a much smaller man wearing the same designed clothes as the other figure he was standing on the ledge of the staircase.

 

“Over there to!” Goofy called as he pointed behind them to the other staircase wear what appeared to be a women sat on the ledge of the staircase where, noticeably a bigger man stood on the ledge that Sora jumped over previously. Sora gripped his keyblade tightly as he slowly turned around looking at the four figures around them.

 

“Who are they?” Sora asked Donald and Goofy who replied with.

 

“I don’t know!”

 

Sora made another attempt at finding out the identity of the 4 figures, succumbing to his frustration.

 

“Alright who are you 4! Why are you here!”.

 

“Dude, like we were supposed to meeting someone here, didn’t expect you 3 to show up?” The tall figure Sora saw first replied as he folded his arms.

 

“We’re the Soulciety Sora…” A dark portal opened in front of the giant door that led to the first district allowing a tall man wearing a top half black and bottom half white cloak to walk out the portal causing it to disappear.

 

He folded his arms and sighed. “But you wouldn’t know that would you Sora.”

 

“The Soul-Ciety?” Sora questioned as he maintained the grasp on his keyblade.

 

“The keyblade is a powerful weapon. Many people posses the power to use it these days. But it’s those who wield its power and use it to its limits that truly are its wielders, those who use it to reach their desires..are the true wielders.” The man stated as he opened his arms out wide. “The Soulciety seek nothing more than to control these powers and release the Bounding of our 6 parts!” The man turned his back to Sora, Donald and Goofy. “To defeat the hosts…” A dark portal opened in front of the man as he walked through it.

 

Sora suddenly dashed at the man who had already closed the portal just before Sora reached him.

 

“We’ll see you soon Sora” said the women of the group now known as the Soulciety in a flirtatious tone. She then disappeared from sight as did the other 3 members.

 

Sora, Donald and Goofy looked at each other with puzzled expressions.

 

“The Soulciety?” Goofy questioned.

 

“The true weildersh?” Donald questioned.

 

“…The 6 parts….the host?” Sora added in question. “Looks like mores going on than we thought?”

 

Donald and Goofy nodded in agreement. Suddenly 10 common soulful appeared in a dark red light surrounding the 3.

 

Sora, Donald and Goofy prepared to fight.

 

“What are thesh thingsh?” Heartlesh?” Donald asked in frustration.

 

“Let’s worry about that later, we’ll have to take them out!” Sora said in a leadership way, they all suddenly looked at the ledge where 2 of the 4 members were

standing as they heard a loud roar, hovering in the air was a dark red and part black creature with wings holding a big spiked hammer flew, it had the same symbol as the creatures surrounding them.

 

“Gawlly!” Goofy yelled in a slightly threatened tone.

 

The beast roared out loud.

 

“These aren’t heartless…” Sora thought to himself.

 

 

 

 

[spoiler=Chapter 16: Malice]

 

 

 

Sora continued to glare at the flying beast with the giant spiked mallet. It continued to roar as it hovered over the ledge. Donald, Sora and Goofy stood surrounded by the 10 common soulful, they watched on preparing for any sudden attack.

 

“Hey guys.” Sora began. “Do you think you can take these? I’m going after whatever that is!” Suddenly a common soulful in front of Sora jumped at him. Sora immediately swung his keyblade through the soulful causing it to diminish. Sora then pursued through the opened gap between the soulful and headed for the ledge.

The Soulful wyvern like creature noticed Sora as he jumped on top the ledge slashing his keyblade in the air, the Wyvern known as Malice, soared through the air dodging the blow.

 

Sora stood on the edge of the ledge and turned around to see Malice roaring while hovering about 5 meters off the ground. Suddenly Malice lifted the hammer over its head, it then threw it in Sora’s direction. The mallet was stuck to a chain that wrapped around Malice’s arm. Sora quickly jumped high before the hammer hit him.

As the hammer hit the ledge a big portion of the ledge fell onto the ground, due to the heavy impact. Sora was now slightly higher than Malice as he glided at a rapid speed towards it. Prepared to swing his keyblade Sora lifted it above his head, Sora quickly looked backwards however and jumped in mid air out of the way and landing on the ground as the hammer came at a rapid speed back to Malice’s arm, Sora landed on one knee.

 

“I have to watch for that hammer! Donald, Goofy how you’se doing?”

 

“Firaga!” Donald called as he pointed his wand at the soulful shooting a giant ball of fire destroying 4 of the 9 remaining soulful. “A-Okay Shora!”

 

“Gawlly!” Goofy called as he held his shield out wide and spinned around at a rapid speed diminishing the 5 remaining soulful. “Hya we’re fine Sora.” Goofy called as he stopped spinning.

 

Sora smiled as he looked up at malice who was preparing to throw its giant spiked mallet again.

 

“Watch out for the mallet!” Sora called as Malice threw the giant mallet at Sora, Sora managed to roll to his left and out of the way, the mallet crashed into the ground causing a small crater to appear.

 

Donald pointed his wand at Malice. “Firaga!” Donald called as a giant ball of fire headed for Malice.

 

Malice roared as it pulled the hammer back and through the fire causing it to diminish. The mallet then returned to Malice’s hand as it roared in triumph.

 

Goofy began swinging his shield in circles, he then released it into the air heading straight for Malice. Malice roared at the site of the shield and pointed the hammer at

it suddenly the spikes on the front of the mallet shot out and went into the shield causing it to fly back next to goofy stuck to the ground due to the spikes.

Goofy tried to pull the spikes out but couldn’t.

 

“Oh oh…” Goofy whimpered in an upset tone as he continued to try to pull the shield out.

 

Malice began to hover slightly higher as it threw it’s Hammer at the unsuspecting Goofy.

 

“Goofy!” Sora called as he ran in front of Goofy and hit the mallet with his keyblade causing it to fly into the wall and form a big hole in it.

 

“How tough is this thing!” Sora called out as he stood prepared for an incoming attack. Donald ran over and stood next to Sora.

 

“What are we going to do?” Donald asked.

 

Suddenly Malice roared even louder as it began spinning its hammer in the air.

 

“Gawrsh what’s it doing now?” Goofy asked in fear, Sora simply closed his eyes.

 

Donald looked at Sora. “Sora?”

 

The mallet was now moving at such a rapid speed that it was hitting different walls around the area at different times. The whole area was being torn apart by the

mallet. Donald and Goofy began to question Sora as the mallet was only slightly visibly heading for them.

 

“Sora?!” Goofy and Donald called. Sora suddenly opened his eyes and lifted his keyblade into the air.

 

“Reflect!” Suddenly a slightly visible barrier surrounded the 3. As the mallet hit the barrier it went crashing deep into the ground, causing the 3 to be unharmed.

Malice tried to lift the Mallet out of the ground, roaring in frustration as his attempts were to no aveil. Sora then jumped on the thin chain and began running up it until he reached Malice, as Sora approached he slashed his keyblade down and through Malice, causing it to roar in pain its body diminishing into red fragment bits and in a dark red light.

 

“ROOOAAARRR!!!!” Malice completely disappeared from sight as Sora landed next to Donald and Goofy on one knee.

 

“Shora you did it!” Donald cheered.

 

Sora stood up, his keyblade disappearing. “We need to find out what that was and what this “Soulciety” is.

 

The spikes on Goofy’s shield disappeared allowing Goofy to pick it up.

 

“let’s ask Leon and the others, maybe they know what these things are.” Sora said as the 3 walked through the giant door leading to first district.

 

 

 

[spoiler=Chapter 17: Venture to Yen Sid]

 

 

 

In the dark area with pitch black endless walls, Toras and Pein stood on the glass that separated them from endless darkness. Toras was panting and on his knees with 2 keyblades laying on the ground.

 

“Damn it!” Toras called out in frustration as he punched the glass ground. “I can’t sustain it! What am I doing wrong?!” Toras looked up at Pein who had his arms folded.

 

“It takes time Toras. “ Pein replied. “No other keyblade wielder has been able to sustain that level of power.” Pein brought out in a dark black and blue light a black and blue keyblade that he held with his right hand. Pein then threw the keyblade towards Toras landing in front of him.

 

“Use mine. Perhaps then you can gain the strength.”

 

Toras slowly stood up struggling as he held his arm. He then picked up the blue keyblade and his white one leaving the black one on the ground.

 

“Are you able to do it?” Toras asked.

 

Pein shook his head. “No, not even I can do it.”

 

Suddenly a dark portal opened behind Pein, the figure from Traverse Town wearing a big half black and half white robe walked through and stood next to Pein with his arms

folded.

 

“I assume all is going well.” The man said a she faced Toras.

 

“All is fine sir.” Pein replied.

 

“Great I have high hopes for you Toras.”

 

“Who is this guy?” Toras thought to himself.

 

“Don’t worry. You’ll find out my identity in due time. For now continue your training. I’ll leave it t you Pein.” The figure turned an opened up portal and began to walk towards it. just before walking through he stopped an turned his hoodie covered head to Toras.

 

“Oh, and by the way Toras, I payed a visit to Sora today.” Toras’s face immediately turned to one of frustration and anger as he clenched his keyblades tightly and grinded his

teeth. The figure lifted his arms to the side and shrugged.

 

“He claimed you were worthless? And well…I don’t want to make you mad but he did say that Kirai and Ruki said hi.”

 

Toras got a lot more frustrated as he thought to himself. “They were never my friends! They were always yours, you tricked me into believing I had 2 best friends, you manipulated their images and made me happy so I could lay dead in that stupid cylinder..you will pay Sora!”

 

“Sometimes…I wonder if he was right…leaving you in that cylinder.”

 

“What’s that’s supposed to mean!” Toras called out in anger.

 

“How do you think it means? You might be worthless-“

 

“You!” Toras dashed forward with his keyblades. He came to a sudden stop as Pein grabbed him holding him back.

 

“Let me finish.” The figure began. “You might be worthless, to him. But to us you’re family, and we treat family like royalty. I’ll see you later.” The figure then walked through the dark portal and it closed.

 

Toras looked down slightly disheartened.

 

 

**

 

 

Sora, Donald and Goofy walked through the crowd of people in first district and into Cid’s shop where Leon, Yuffie, Cid and Aerith were.

 

“Hey again guys” Sora called out as he walked into the shop. He then stopped and looked around in confusion. “hey guys where’s Cloud?”

 

“He said he was going to Olympus Coliseum?” Yuffie replied questioning herself in the process.

 

“Apparently there’s a tournament on and he wanted to enter.” Leon concluded as he leaned against the wall. “Where are you’se off to now? Did you’se find Riku?”

 

Donald shook his head. “Nothing.”

 

“Yea nothing on Riku…” Sora muttered in a disheartened tone. “But we did come across these guys wearing black and white, they had a mask and gloves and…they called themselves the Soulciety?”

 

They all looked at each other for a second and nodded their heads.

 

“What’s going on? Do you’se know about them?” Sora asked in anticipation.

 

“We don’t know much…but maybe Yen Cid and Merlin know” Aerith replied.

 

“Of course! Merlin and Yen Sid! Is the tower still in Twilight Town?”

 

“No.” Leon replied. “They are occupying a new world. Not too far out, but not that close either, a few worlds stand before it.”

 

“Why don’t we go see what Clouds doing Sora?” Goofy asked.

 

“Olympus Coliseum is the closest to this world, why not? Then we can go to the Tower.” Sora concluded as he nodded his head. “We’ll see you guys later and don’t worry I’m sure Leon’s fine.” Sora, Donald and Goofy walked out the shop and headed to the ship outside the giant door that led inside to Traverse Town.

 

As they opened the giant doors they saw a figure wearing a organization 13 cloak standing next to the gummy ship.

 

Sora quickly brought out his keyblade and prepared for an attack.

 

“The organization?! How?” Donald and Goofy also stood ready to attack.

 

“Didn’t we get rid of them?” Donald questioned in confusion.

 

“Yer Sora defeated that there Xemnas right?” Goofy questioned in a confused tone.

 

The figure took off his hoodie to reveal his identity as Riku wearing a blind fold. Sora, Donald and Goofy looked shocked.

 

“Riku!” Sora called out as his keyblade disappeared. Sora ran towards Riku.

 

As Sora approached Riku kicked Sora’s chin sending him back and skidding next to the standing Donald and Goofy.

 

“Ahh…” Sora moaned as he tried to get to his feet struggling. “What’s the big idea!”

 

“You need to go back to Destiny Island Sora. That was the kings orders!” Riku said in frustration. “Donald, Goofy you shouldn’t have let him persuade you!”

 

“Riku what’s going on! What’s with you?!” Sora called out in frustration clenching his fist.

 

“It’s none of your concern Sora. Go back to the islands until you hear otherwise, don’t make me have to see you again.” Riku then opened a dark portal and began to walk through it.

 

“Wait!” Sora called out causing Riku to stop and turn to him. “One thing! Who are the Soulciety.” Sora asked in a serious tone.

 

Riku put his hand in a pocket and pulled out a small gold object. He then threw it in Sora’s direction. Sora caught it and observed it.

 

“Is this a Navigation Gummy?” Sora asked.

 

“Go back to Destiny Islands Sora…” Riku walked through the dark portal thinking to himself. “Please go back Sora after you get some answers...”

 

“Wait!” Sora called out taking a step forward. Riku walked through the portal and disappeared as the portal closed.

 

“What do you thinksh wrong with Riku?” Donald asked the disheartened Sora.

 

Sora sighed. “I’m not sure at least his alright…” Sora held the navigation Gummy forward, this must be the Gummy that will lead us to the islands, but what would we need it for?

The ship already has the Destiny Island Gummy?”

 

The 3 walked to the ship and hopped I, after starting it up the display that would normally show a map including all the world’s locations was black.

 

“Ahh, guys.” Goofy noticed the empty display and pointed to it.

 

“The world locationsh are gone!” Donald called out in conclusion.

 

Sora thought for a moment and put his hand on his forehead.

 

“Riku! He must of taken the Navigation Gummys.”

 

They all looked disheartened for a moment.

 

“Looksh like we have to go to Deshtiny Ilandsh.” Donald said sadly.

 

Sora put the golden gummy in a small hole, the gummy then disappeared, they all looked at the display and were suddenly shocked.

 

“Riku…” Sora muttered.

 

“So where are we all headed at?” goofy questioned.

 

Sora looked forward and smiled.

 

“Olympus Colliseum!” The display showed 3 worlds 2 horizontal to each other and one in between the two but vertically further away from Traverse Town. The world looked as if it had 2 giant towers on it.

The start to the olympus coliseum chapters, chapter 18 added, not great but willl be important to read for later chapters.

 

 

[spoiler= Olympus Coliseum]

[spoiler= Chapter 18: Olympus Coliseum]

 

 

 

Sora, Donald and Goofy landed in front of a big brown door that connected to a giant wall surrounding the world known as Olympus Coliseum. They al hopped out of the Gummy ship and walked to the door. Sora continued to think about how they saw Riku and how he almost forced Sora to go back to Destiny Island. Sora put both hands on the brown door and was about to open It but looked down instead with a disheartened expression.

 

“Whatsh the matter Shora?” Donald asked as he waited for the door to be opened.

 

Sora didn’t reply for a second then replied. “I…I just can’t get Riku off my mind, why would he tell us to go back to Destiny Island?”

 

“Well don’t forget Sora, the king wanted you at that there Destiny Island.” Goofy added while scratching his head.

 

“Something big must be happening, I just hope worlds like this haven’t been harmed.” Sora stated as he pushed the door open, to their surprise there were green grass covered hills surrounding a straight grey pathway that led into the distance.

 

“I don’t remember thish part of the Colisheum?” Donald stated as they began to walk along the path.

 

“Me neither” Sora began s he stopped and pointed forward at a sign. “Look a sign!” Sora, Donald and Goofy ran eagerly to the arrow pointing sign that pointed in the direction they were running in.

 

“Delphi” The sign had written on it.

 

“Delphi?” Sora questioned as they all pondered over the signs meaning.

 

“Maybe it’s a town Sora?” Goofy stated as he nodded his head.

 

“Hey yea! Maybe Herc’s there to!” Sora said in an excited tone.

 

“Then letsh go!” Donald called in excitement as the 3 ran down the path.

 

As they approached near the end of the grey path, they were led up a slight hill, as they just got on top of the hill, they saw down below a small poor town with pottery

everywhere. Sora, Donald and Goofy walked down the path and into the Town, the first thing the noticed was the disheartened and sad expressions exuded by the townspeople.

 

“I wonder why everyonesh sho shad?” Donald wondered as they stopped and asked a man sitting on the side of the road, with his head down.

 

“Hey” Sora began.

 

The man looked up slowly and brought to surface a forced smile. “Oh, hello there strangers. I am Celio, what are your names?”

 

“I’m Donald.” Donald stated proudly.

 

“Goofy’s the name, pleased to meet you.” Goofy replied in a confident tone.

 

“I’m Sora!” Sora added proudly.

 

As soon as Sora stated his name the man’s eyes lit up.

 

“S…S…Sora?”

 

Sora stood confused. “Yea nice to meet you.” Sora said with a smile the man instantly stood up and picked up a pitchfork sitting next to him.

 

His facial expression as now one of anger and frustration. “ Everyone! This kid here goes by the name of Sora!”

 

Immediately all the townspeople start slowly creeping in on the 3.

 

“What’s going on?” Sora asked in confusion as he, Donald and Goofy, slowly backed away. Sora suddenly noticing that the townspeople were turning violent brought out his keyblade in an attempt to scare them back. The townspeople were slightly hesitant but continued to move in shouting at the 3.

 

“What do we do?!” Donald questioned in frustration. The 3 were now surrounded.

 

“We can’t fight them their civilians.” Goofy replied as he held his shield standing defensively.

 

Suddenly a gold light flashed on Donald, Sora and Goofy. All the townspeople upon seeing the light ran into nearby houses, dropping their pitchforks and other weapons they screamed out. “It’s the Gods run!”. Sora covered his eyes due to the brilliance of the light. As it diminished a small blue figure with white wings holding a harp and wearing glasses descended in front of them.

 

“Who are you?” Donald asked in anticipation, the small figure was a little bigger then Donald and hovered down to his eye level.

 

The angelic figure smiled. “I’m Atlas, Messenger of the gods.”

 

“The gods?” Sora questioned as he added. “Wait you mean like Herc?”

 

Atlas flew up in front of Sora. “Why yes indeed, I’ve known Hercules since he was a little baby.”

 

“So you know where Herc is?” Goofy questioned as Atlas flew a little higher to meet his eye level.

 

“I think he was at the coliseum it can be found down that grey road.” Atlas pointed down to the end of the town where the grey path continued on. Atlas descended to look at Sora’s keyblade.

 

“The keyblade, I’ve heard stories of its power. You must be Sora.”

 

“That’s right.” Sora stated confidently, his facial expression turning to one of confusion he continued. “Hey, do you know why everyone suddenly attacked us after hearing my name?”

 

Atlas nodded and began. “Everyone has lost faith in the gods, they believe Zeus doesn’t watch over them.”

 

“Whosh Zeush?” Donald questioned.

 

“Whos Zeus? Why the leader of the gods of course.”

 

“But what does this have to do with me?”

 

Atlas thought for moment and replied. “I’m not sure there seems to be some link with the belief of Zeus not watching over the world and you. Maybe talk to Hercules he should be at the coliseum.”

 

Sora looked at the path in the distance and nodded. “right! Thanks for your help!” Sora called as he, Donald and Goofy ran down the path.

 

“If you ever need help just call for me!” Atlas called at the 3. Atlas then disappeared in a gold light.

 

Sora, Donald and Goofy ran down the path, as they got to the end it split off horizontally into two paths, there was a sign at the end of the vertical part of the path, it had an

arrow pointing each way.

 

The left arrow pointed to “The Coliseum” and the right arrow pointed to “The Underworld”

 

Sora, Donald and Goofy observed the sign and all nodded as they began to run up the left side path. After a short time they were met by a small hill, as they walked to the top Donald called out.

 

“The colisheum!!!”

 

Sora and Goofy looked forward and saw many stairs leading to a bright gold coliseum.

 

Sora, Donald and Goofy ran forward and towards the stairs.

 

 

 

[spoiler= Chapter 19: Unexpected Reunions]

 

 

 

Sora, Donald and Goofy approached the golden stairs at the base of the coliseum. Over 50 stairs led to the Giant wooden door that contained the coliseum inside. Sora, Donald and Goofy began to pace up the stairs in anticipation of the greatest fighting arena in the universe. The thought of seeing Hercules and Phil again would defiantly bring a smile to their recent questions about Riku and the “Soulciety”.

 

Upon approaching the giant wooden door, noises were heard from inside, they appeared to be shouts of encouragement and wisdom. The voice was however a recognizable one, that the 3 remembered all to well.

 

Sora, Donald and Goofy pushed the giant door open to see a big tiled area with 2 figures standing in the middle, one, was a boy with short brown hair a yellow shirt and blue shorts, he appeared to be holding a sword and was swinging it in the air swiftly and fluently, his grunts were a sign of effort on his part as a much smaller figure, about 3 feet tall with hooves as legs was jumping up and down calling. “That’s it! Rule #360! Be the weapon!”

 

The boy suddenly stopped as he saw Sora, Donald and Goofy walking towards him and the small figure. The little figure noticing the boy was looking at something that distracted him, turned around grunting. The small individual’s eyes widened as he saw Donald, Sora and Goofy. He instantly brought forth a big smile as he ran to the 3 calling out.

 

“Donald, Goofy, Sora!”

 

“Sora?”, Questioned the boy with the sword.

 

Sora smiled widely as he called out. “Phil!” and began pretending to hold gloves as Phil shadow boxed.

 

“I haven’t seen you kids in a long time! Where have you been?!” Phil asked excitedly as he folded his arms.

 

Sora smiled. “Oh, you know here and there, did you miss us junior heroes?”

 

“Boy did I! Herc hasn’t had a good fight in a long time, that isn’t of course ti-“ Phil stopped as he was cut off by the boy with the sword who walked over to them, he questioned in a wondering tone.

 

“Sora? Is that you?”

 

Sora looked puzzled for a moment as he observed the boy’s face. Sora suddenly remembered a small boy from destiny islands.

 

“Tidus? Is that you?!” Sora questioned

 

Tidus laughed. “haha yea Sora good to see you again!”

 

“What are you doing here?”

 

“Tidus is my new trainee, I’m going to make him follow Herc’s footsteps.” Phil replied as Donald walked up to Phil.

 

“Ish he following anybody elshesh footshteps?” Donald asked in a confident tone, obviously referring to himself.

 

Phil stroked his goatee as he thought for a second. “Nope...no I can’t think of anyone else?”

 

“Me!” Donald snapped in retaliation to Phil not acknowledging him, causing Phil to laugh.

 

“But how did you get here?” Sora asked, Tidus looked down for a brief second then said.

 

“When the island was swallowed by the darkness, Selphie and the others were swallowed to, I was holding onto the edge of the island, almost certain of my end...then the king..king Mickey came to me in his gummy ship and brought me here, i passed out before i got to thank him...” Tidus’s eyes widened as he just remembered something important. “But what about you? I thought you were swallowed as well?!”

 

Sora looked disheartened to hear his friends were swallowed by the darkness.

 

“No...no I was safe...it’s a long story...”

 

“What about Riku and Kairi?!” Tidus asked in anticipation.

 

“Their safe t-“ Suddenly everyone heard a loud yell of pain coming from inside the coliseum.

 

They all turned to the coliseum, Phil and Tidus judging by their expressions appeared to be the only ones who knew of what was happen in inside.

 

“His brutal, more so then Hades I think.” Phil stated as he folded his arms.

 

Tidus clenched his fists suddenly. “I wish I could have a piece of him!”

 

“You’re not ready kid.” Phil stated, this however didn’t stop Tidus’s rage as he continued to clench his fists.

 

Sora, Donald and goofy looked on with confusion.

 

“Who’s brutal? Who’s in there?” Sora asked.

 

“N...never mind that forget I said anything.” Phil persuaded with a fake smile on his face.

 

Sora knelt down to Phil’s level and smiled. “Phil you forget we’re junior heroes!” Sora, Donald and Goofy headed for the giant wooden gate that lead to the Coliseum.

 

Tidus turned to Phil with an excited look on his face. “Phil can I-!”

 

“Go on kid, but don’t get yourself killed!” Tidus quickly turned and ran with Sora, Donald and Goofy.

 

As they opened the giant door to the coliseum, they saw many people in the stands cheering, noticeably there was a man in a long red robe and with short dark blue hair and with one eye closed, lying on the ground panting. It appeared he was trying to get to his feet but couldn’t.

 

Noticeably there was another man standing tall and with a giant sword with bandages on it, He also had a black wing and medium long black and grey spiked hair, he also had purple and black armour on. Noticeably he also had an extremely long katana blade in its case on his side, the figure held his bandaged sword as he walked towards the man laying on the ground. Sora looked for a brief second and noticed it was Auron! The grey haired man pointed his sword down at Auron as he stood over him.

 

Sore looked briefly at the other man and came to a realization.

 

“Cloud! Stop!” Sora called out, the black and grey haired figure turned to face where the 4 were, His facial features did resemble that of Cloud, only he now had 1 red and 1 black eye.

 

“Cloud what are you doing!” Sora called again.

 

“You know him?” Tidus questioned with confusion.

 

“We sure do, but Cloud is a good guy he wouldn’t hurt that there Auron?”

 

Sora and Cloud glared at each other, Cloud then muttered under his breath. “Sora...”

 

 

 

[spoiler=Chapter 20: Black Mist]

 

 

 

Sora and the figure now known to be cloud glared at each other for a little more, the crowd has gone silent as they watched and pondered over the meaning of the current events. Cloud turned so his whole body was facing Sora and the others. His red and black eyes a sign of hatred towards the four.

 

Tidus’s fists were clenched to the point ion which he was shaking, his rage had not subsided from when he was outside the coliseum, it was much worse as he called out.

 

“You monster! If Herc was her-“

 

“Shut up..” Cloud interrupted as he lifted his bandaged sword and pointed it at Sora. Suddenly Cloud turned to the laying Auron and lifted the sword in the air with two hands

about to slash down.

 

“Cloud! Don’t!” Sora called as he dashed for the two. Cloud swung down with his giant blade while Auron closed his eyes, accepting whatever may happen. A loud “CHING” was heard as Sora stood between Cloud and Auron defending Auron with his keyblade and tieing it with Cloud’s bandaged sword.

 

“What are you doing Sora..” Cloud rhetorically asked as he looked on at the struggling Sora.

 

“I...I Wont let you hurt him Cloud! This...isn’t...you!” Sora pushed his keyblade forward causing Cloud to jump back.

 

“Cloud...” Sora began as Cloud turned to walk out the coliseum, his hair reverting to a short blonde and his black wing disappearing along with his armour turning back to a blue and red cape attire.

 

Cloud walked past Donald, Goofy and Tidus without hesitation, Tidus grinded his teeth as he dashed with his sword headed for the walking away Cloud.

 

“Tidus no!” Sora called as an attempt to prevent Tidus from attacking Cloud his call went o no aveil however as Tidus continued to dash with his sword in the air.

 

“You’re mine Cloud!” Tidus called out in confidence. Suddenly as he approached and began to swing his sword Cloud turned and kicked Tidus’s gut sending him flying in the air and skidding next to Donald and Goofy who immediately knelt down to help Tidus.

 

“Are you alright there Tidus?” Goofy asked as he put Tidus’s arm over his neck and slowly lifted him up.

 

Tidus held his gut in pain as he replied. “I’ll live...thanks Goofy.”

 

Donald pointed his wand at Cloud. “Firag-!” Suddenly Sora stepped in front of Donald forcing him to revert his intentions.

 

Cloud and Sora eyed each other off for a second more than Cloud turned and walked out the coliseum, his red torn cape waving in the wind behind him.

 

“What’s with you Cloud?” Sora thought to himself. Sora then turned as a hand was on his shoulder. It was Auron who was holding his gut and limping and panting.

 

“Sor...a..you shouldn’t...’ave done that....I lost..” Auron struggled but muttered as Sora put his arm over his neck allowing him to walk easier.

 

“Don’t be stupid Auron just because you lost doesn’t mean you need to disappear, What’s with Cloud anyway?”

 

Auron shook his head as he replied. “ Don’t know...but he isn’t himself...be careful...you’re on his list now...”

 

Sora looked forward as they all began to walk out the coliseum as they approached the door it shut rapidly and by itself.

 

“What the?” Sora questioned as he attempted to open the door. “It’s shut tight?”

 

“Who could have closhed it?” Donald questioned as he observed the door. Suddenly a big screech was heard from behind them, they all turned around to see that all the people watching were gone and standing on the ring tiles was a Giant black heartless, about 10 foot high, with no legs but 4 arms holding 4 identical sharp and long black swords, it has

golden eyes and one black horn on its head, where it’s legs should be was replaced by black fog.

 

“What’s that! Heartless?” Sora questioned even though he already knew that it was a heartless.

 

Auron took his arm off the back of Sora’s neck as did Tidus with Goofy.

 

“Don’t worry...i can fight...” Auron dictated as he stood holding his big sword with one arm.

 

Tidus smirked as he said. “Me to! Let’s take it out!”

 

Donald and goofy held their weapons in an attackive and defensive stance as Sora brought out his keyblade and gripped it with 2 hands preparing to fight. The Heartless suddenly created black mist all around the area, no light could be seen only dark mist, Sora and the others moved forward slowly in the dark area, unable to see the heartless.

 

Suddenly a long arm and hand came through the dark mist and grabbed Donald. Donald screamed in fear.

 

“Yahhhhh!!!” The dark hand pulled Donald into the dark mist causing Sora to turn and call out.

 

“Donald!” Sora took a couple of steps forward but stopped as he needed to tread carefully. Goofy began to shake.

 

“Where do..ya’ll think it took Do-“ Suddenly the arm came out again this time grabbing Goofy and dragging him into the black mist. “heypppp!” Goofy yelled out as he was dragged in. Sora suddenly took a few more steps forward only to see Tidus being grabbed by an arm and taken into the mist.

 

“Tidus!” Sora and Auron stood back covering each other’s weak spots in terms of sight. “What’s with this thing!” Sora called out.

 

“Black Mist...it turns the area into darkness and drags those caught...” Auron replied with no fear in his voice.

 

“How do you know that?” Sora questioned

 

“Came across one before..don’t worry the mist will clear up now.”

 

Suddenly it did and the mist was now diminishing revealing Olympus Coliseum in its original state, only that in each corner of the arena, Donald, Goofy and Tidus were trapped in chains on their wrists and ankles.

 

“Help us Sora!” Tidus pleaded as he tried to free himself from the chains in a pointless attempt.

 

“Don’t worry! Just give us a minute!” Sora assured as he gripped his keyblade facing the 4 armed black big heartless, Auron also took an attackive stance as he prepared for any kind of change in the heartless.

 

Sora suddenly rushed forward calling out. “Let my friends free!” As Sora approached he jumped in the air and slashed his keyblade down at the heartless, this went to no avail however as the heartless blocked the keyblade with all 4 of its black blades. Sora remained in the air for a bit his keyblade still pushing down on the four blades that blocked above the heartless’ head.

 

“Now Auron!” Sora called out as Auron dashed with his long blade forward attempting to swipe it thought the chest of the heartless as he approached, his attack went to no avail however as it swept Wright through the chest ,a black neat mist hole followed the blade making it simply go through the heartless with no damage done.

 

Sora and Auron jumped back to their original spots, gripping their weapons tightly.

 

“What was that? It can’t be hit?” Sora questioned in confusion.

 

Auron sighed. “Looks like this one’s a little different to the one i faced...this one’s tougher, may have to use magic to beat it.” He replied.

 

Dark mist suddenly lifted all 4 blades into the air causing them to glow black and dark Mist to screech out loud.

 

 

 

[spoiler= Chapter 21: Firagest!]

 

 

 

Sora and Auron examined their foe, the coliseum was covered in a gradually intensifying dark fog, Dark Mist remained roaring and lifting his 4 blades into the air. Suddenly it stopped roaring and soared in the direction of Sora and Auron. Sora and Auron stood in a defensive stance waiting for their opponent. The heartless upon approaching swung 2 of its 4 blades at the 2, Auron and Sora merely moved to the side dodging the attack, the heartless then swung at the 2 with its other blades however Sora and Auron managed to duck and jump over the blades, upon missing the 2 Dark Mist dashed into the now blackened dark fog. The mist was so dark that the eye couldn’t see past the darkness.

 

Sora and Auron stood back to back unable to predict the intentions of Dark Mist.

 

“Okay.” Sora began as he gripped his keyblade. “Physical attacks don’t work, so magic, what will you do?”

 

Auron grinned and chuckled. “Don’t worry…I have my own tricks…”

 

“Well no matter what we don’t know where it’s going to come out of.”

 

Suddenly upon hearing a loud roar the heartless appeared from the mist a couple of meters in front of Sora, Sora instantly pointed his keyblade forward. “Fire!” Sora called as a red fireball headed for the heartless, it then went straight through it causing Dark Mist to disappear.

 

“What the?” Sora questioned in confusion.

 

“Don’t be fooled it was a fake…” Auron informed as he gripped his sword with one arm.

 

“How do you know so much about it?”

 

“…Don’t worry ‘bout it..”

 

Suddenly Dark Mist soared towards Auron, Auron instantly swung his sword through the Dark Mist.

 

“The next one will be the real one..” Auron stated as he looked cautiously in all directions Suddenly a loud roar was heard as Dark Mist soared at a Rapid Speed from the right of Sora and the left of Auron.

 

“There!” Sora called as he charged a Fireball. “Fi-“ Sora stopped as he was interrupted by Auron who’s sword was ignited in flame, he pierced the blade forward and through the centre of the dark mist, the heartless roared in pain as it hovered backwards and into the dark fog.

 

Suddenly the dark fog began to lessen as the dark mist was obviously weakened to the blow. It began to hover in the air about 15 feet in the air it then threw its black blades on the corners of the ring.

 

Sora watched on with a confused look. “What’s it doing?”

 

“Darn..” Auron began in a frustrated tone. “I’ve seen this before…The dark fog is coming again…”

 

“Again?” Sora questioned as a black fog covered the surrounding ring leaving virtually nothing to site.

 

“Get ready!” Auron insisted as he gripped his blade tightly and looked on at the fog with caution.

 

Suddenly Sora jumped to the side as a dark sword came at him from the fog heading right for him. It then flew through the other side of the black fog.

 

“Its swords?” Sora said in disbelief as another 3 came flying at the 2, they both managed to dodge the wave of blades. Suddenly a loud “CHING” was heard. Auron looked down and saw one of the dark blades stuck to his red robe and planted into the ring’s ground.

Sora hearing the noise turned to see if Auron was okay.

 

“Auron are you-“ Sora stopped as he saw the blade implanted into his robe. “Auron your-“

 

“I know…Darn it..” Auron dropped his blade and attempted to pull it out, Sora dropped the keyblade and also attempted to pull it out, trying with all his strength however they couldn’t. Suddenly 3 blades came in all different directions at the 2. Auron looked on with shock.

 

Sora quickly grabbed his keyblade and called. “Reflect!” Suddenly as the blades hit the transparent barrier surrounding the 2 they went flying in all different directions, one flew straight up, Sora looked up and saw that as the blade pierced through the fog it left an opening to reveal outside the fog. Above the cloud of black fogm surrounding them was Dark Mist! The hole then closed.

 

“Hold tight for a second Auron!” Sora called as he squatted down.

 

“What?” Auron questioned as Sora jumped up about to pierce through the black fog. Meanwhile Donald and Goofy continued to

watch on, seeing the dark fog surrounding Auron and Sora and seeing Dark Mist above the centre of the fog.

 

“Gawrsh.” Goofy began. “I hope Sora’s alright!”

 

Donald shook his head violently. “Shora’sh fine! He wouldn’t be beat by a heartlesh!”

 

Tidus was on the other side of the arena still chained like goofy and Donald.

 

“I hope Sora’s okay…” he muttered to himself.

 

Suddenly Sora is seen Jumping out of the black fog and heading straight for the hovering Dark Mist. Dark Mist roared as he saw Sora.

The 3 blades outside the fog then flew inside the darkness, Sora seeing this called out.

 

“Auron!” Sora then focused his attention on Dark Mist he pointed his Keyblade straight up and yelled out. “Firagest!” Suddenly the keyblade ignited in flame, except the handle, upon approaching Dark Mist’s height Sora slashed down at the heartless. The flame blade slashed from the top to the bottom of dark Mist. Dark Mist roared in pain as he exploded in a dark fog sending Sora flying to the other side of the arena. Sora landed on one knee and watched as Dark Mist disappeared in 100’s of dark bits.

 

Sora stood up then remembered Auron was inside the dark Fog. “Auron!”

 

Sora dashed for the fog, upon approaching the fog disappeared revealing Auron panting but standing up and the 3 blades on the ground less than a meter in front of him. Auron turned to Sora and sighed a sigh of relief, Sora responded with a cheeky smile. The 4 blades then disappeared allowing Auron to pick up his blade and move freely towards Sora. The chains around Donald, Goofy and

Tidus disappeared allowing them to run to Sora and Auron.

 

“Shora!” Donald called out in happiness and excitement.

 

“gawlly you did it Sora!” goofy added as he ran excitedly.

 

Tidus smiled as he saw Donald and Goofy jump on Sora causing him to crash to the ground. “Wow…Sora, I clearly knew nothing

about you when we were back on the island…” Tidus thought to himself as he walked over to everyone.

 

Sora stood up laughing. “I couldn’t have done it without Auron, he practically knew what the-“ Sora stopped as he came to a realization. “Oh yea! How did you know about the Dark Mist’s moves?!” Sora asked in anticipation for an answer.

 

Auron sat on the ground leaning one elbow on his knee. He looked down and began.

 

“I fought it when Cloud was swallowed by the Darkness inside him…in the underworld…”

 

“The darkness inside him?!”

 

 

 

[spoiler=Chapter 22: The Wielder of 3 Blades]

 

 

 

Sora and the others were all still shocked by Auron’s statement.

 

“Cloud…was swallowed by the darkness…inside him?” Sora questioned in an attempt to make sure he heard Auron right. “What do you mean by that?”

 

Auron grunted as he stood up. ‘When I heard rumors that Hades was coming back from the underworld I went to check it out, with Herc.”

 

“Now hadesh to??” Donald asked in a disappointed tone.

 

Auron nodded. “That’s right. Herc had to go back when we were half way down, had a call from Zeus. I continued on. When I arrived I saw the hole that led to the depths of the underworld. I saw the countless souls in the green lake of death flow around. On the other side, he was there.”

 

“Who was there?” Sora questioned in anticipation.

 

“Cloud and…Sephiroth.”

 

“Sephiroth gawlly.” Goofy added in a slightly intimidated tone.

 

“What were Cloud and Sephiroth doing in the underworld?” Sora continued to ask.

 

Auron shook his head. “I don’t know…they looked like they were having a tough fight Cloud was on his knee holding his stomach.

Seemed he was losing Sephiroth didn’t look the slightest bit weaker. Then what I saw was Sephiroth somehow entering Cloud’s body…I remember his last words to Cloud were something like, You’re weak Cloud, but with me you can be strong, open your heart

Cloud give in to the darkness, we were meant to be…we’ve always been….Bound By Fate.”

 

“Fate? So Sephiroth is inside Cloud’s heart?” Sora began to understand the situation as he then said. “We have to help Cloud!”

 

“But what about Herc? Maybe we should find him Sora?” Goofy concluded as Sora nodded in agreement.

 

“Right, if we are going for Cloud then we need Herc’s help.”

 

“Eshpeshally if Shephiroth ish with him!” Donald added, the 5 walked out of the coliseum and the giant wooden doors, seeing Phil on

his knees panting and sweating, he was obviously in a bit of pain.

 

“Phil!” Tidus called as he dashed to Phil’s side helping him to his feet. Phil shook his head. “Are you alright Phil?”

 

“N,Never better kid.” Phil replied in a dozzy kind of way.

 

Sora walked over to Phil. “Train Tidus hard…like you did with us.” Sora then stood to Tidus’s level, before he could speak Tidus spoke.

 

“Go on, But when you fight Cloud…Come get me!” Tidus had a sense of frustration and anger in his voice, to avenge Phil’s lose to

Cloud. He clenched one of his fists tight trying to hold back his pain.

 

Sora nodded. “Don’t worry we will.”

 

Donald turned to Auron. “Show what will you do Auron?” Auron looked down to Donald.

 

“I’ll probably take it easy for a bit. 2 tough battles has worn me out.” Auron began to walk down the stairs that led to the coliseum.

 

“Okay we’ll see you later Auron!” Sora called, he then turned his attention to Tidus. “We’ll be back soon after we find herc.

 

“Herc…Wonderboy..” Phil began as he struggled but attempted to help Sora and the others. “Distance Mountain…”

 

Sora, Donald and Goofy looked at each other puzzled. “Where’s that Phil?” Sora asked however Phil passed out.

 

“I wish I could help you guys…but I don’t know where it is either…Although I have heard rumours that it’s where Herc went to search for Zeus.”

 

“It must be a big mountain if you go to talk to Zeus?” Goofy concluded as he nodded his head followed by Donald.

 

“Then it’s settled, Distance Mountain, Let’s go!” Sora encouraged as the 3 walked off and down the stairs.

 

Tidus looked unnerved as he looked at the collapsed Phil. “I will get Cloud…I swear it…”

 

 

 

**

 

 

Meanwhile in a Big Dark red room stood 7 big red thrones sat on by 6 figures wearing long red robes with black shirts and black pants, they also had red hoodies, the robes didn’t seem to cover all their front, it only had 2 long strips reaching their hips. All the thrones

were taken except the right hand one next to the one in the middle. Noticeably the middle throne was a lot bigger than the others.

One of the 6 was a woman, one was a lot smaller than the others and one was a bit bigger.

 

“Sicor.” The man in the middle throne began, the figure to his left responded in a bit of a shocked way although his face couldn’t be seen his reaction to that word was one of surprise. “having trouble getting used to it I see.”

 

“I’m used to Pein…it will be hard to switch back..” The man formerly known as Pein and now known as Sicor said as he leaned his arms on the arm rest.

 

“Are we ready to recruit the final member, the heart of Sora’s Soul.”

 

“His ready…the challenges he faced has made him a lot stronger…”

 

“Send him in.” The man in the middle throne said as 2 giant dark red doors opened from about 30 meters away. Noticeably there were 10 stairs leading into a 20 metre long and wide area where the thrones were. A figure walked through the open doors, like the other 6 he was wearing a red robe like clothing with a hoodie on and 2 strips going down to his hips, he also had a black shirt and black pants on. He walked up the stairs leading into the area.

 

“Welcome the Keyblades most distinct user. The one that is a split image of the Soulciety’s intention of power, the first ever, wielder of 3 Keyblades...” The figure in the middle and bigger throne announced as the man that walked up the stairs took off his hoodie revealing his brown hair and concentrated expression, it was Toras.

 

“Toras…Welcome to the Soulciety.” The other 5 in the thrones began to clap as Toras looked on.

 

 

 

[spoiler=Chapter 23: The Temple of Zeus]

 

 

 

Sora, Donald and Goofy reached the end of the bright stairs and began walking towards the path they were previously at. The grass was still a bright green and the blue sky remained peaceful. Sora sighed a depressed sighed as he put his hands behind his head.

 

“Whatsh the matter shora?” Donald questioned.

 

Sora didn’t respond for a second. “I’m…I’m just worries about Cloud…the darkness in his heart…would he really give in…and this whole talk of fate…first Kairi, then the Soulciety and now Sephiroth mentioning it? It’s strange, why does everyone think we are

predetermined….our paths…aren’t chosen…” Sora looked down for a second as they continued to walk, Donald and Goofy looked at each other and shrugged a disappointed shrug.

 

As the 3 reached the path they were at the sign then told of the path to the coliseum and the underworld.

 

“Show where to now?” Donald asked as Goofy and Sora shrugged.

 

Suddenly a bright golden light flashed as the little blue messenger angel Hermes appeared between the 3.

 

“How are you all?” He stated as hovered in the air.

 

“Hya there Hermes, we’re on our way to distance mountain,” Goofy stated while nodding.

 

Hermes flew up to goofy’s eye level. “Distance Mountain, why sure it’s passed this sign. “ Hermes pointed to behind the 3 and past the small sign. “It’s not far but it has a lot of history to it.”

 

“History?” Sora asked in question, Hermes nodded.

 

“That’s right Sora, you see that was the place that Hercules first decided to find out who he was and searched for his father Zeus.”

 

“Wow, do you think Herc could be there now?” Sora asked causing Hermes to stroke his chin and think for a second.

 

“He may be at Zeus’s temple. I hear there is something wrong with Zeus, many of the gods don’t speak much of it, but something is influencing the kind and compassionate Zeus this world grew up in.”

 

“Don’t worry we’ll find out what’s wrong!” Sora stated in confidence as the 3 ran off in the direction guided by Hermes.

 

“Good luck Sora!” Hermes called as he disappeared in a gold light.

 

Upon running up the grassy hill that separated the 3 from sight of what was in the distance, Sora, Donald and Goofy stopped and began panting for air slightly while kneeling down.

 

“We’ve been running for agesh!” Donald stated in frustration as he stomped his foot. Goofy stood up straight with wide eyes.

 

“Gawlly..”

 

“What is it Goofy?” Sora asked causing Goofy to point forward. The 3 stood straight up facing the distance. “Wow…Distance

Mountain.” A large mountain could be seen not far from where they were. The 3 looked at each other with a new found sense of energy and ran towards the mountain.

 

The 3 reached the bottom of the mountain, the dirt ground was surrounded by the random tree. Noticeably there was a dirt path that seemed to lead from the bottom to the top of the mountain.

 

“Zeus’s temple is at the top of this mountain…” Sora said stating the obvious while beginning to walk up the mountain followed by Donald and Goofy.

 

The 3 tirelessly walked along the path the conditions seamed to differ depending on the point of the mountain they were at. At one time it was extremely cold, another it was extremely hot and another it was extremely windy.

 

Sora, Donald and Goofy all came to a stop when they reached a slightly open area of the path they fell to the ground panting.

 

“Does this mountain ever end?” Sora complained as he sat up, through this he noticed a big white building not too far up the mountain path, it had giant white pillar and a big brown door, Sora stood up in awe and with a smile on his face. “Hey guys look!”

Sora encouraged looking back at Goofy and Donald who were asleep on the ground. Sora sighed. “I guess you’s can have a rest, I’m gonna go and see Herc!” Sora ran off towards the white building.

 

Just when he was 5 metres from the giant wooden door Sora stopped as a figure with bog muscles and short brown hair walked out looking upset. The figure stopped and looked shocked, then happy emitting a big smile as he called out.

 

“Sora!”

 

“Hey Herc!” Sora replied as he walked to Hercules

 

“What are you doing here? It’s been so long!”

 

“Hehe yea it has been a while, we’ve just been coming across some troubles. I hear there are some here to..”

 

Hercules looked down. “Yea…there are…the world has given up on Zeus..and it seems Zeus has given up on them..”

 

“Given up?” Sora questioned.

 

“I’m not sure why, all I know is that he hasn’t been helping the world grow…crops are dieing, people are becoming ill…it’s like his given up…”

 

“Don’t worry, I’ll try to talk to him!”

 

Hercules smiled as he gave in to Sora’s request. “Alright Sora, I guess you can see him, oh by the way where’s Donald and Goofy?”

 

Sora looked back with an embarrassed grin. Hercules saw the 2 asleep and laughed.

 

“Always a time for a nap. Let’s go talk to Zeus.” The 2 opened the big brown doors, revealing a giant status of a man wearing a white robe like clothing and with a medium long white beard.

 

Sora looked around at the brown room, it has torches of fire on the walls lighting up the room, Sora looked onward at the 80 foot statue.

 

“Zeus…” He muttered under his breath.

 

 

 

[spoiler= Chapter 24: Zeus’s Rage]

 

Sora and Herc remained standing about 20 metres away from the foot of the giant white statue, the room remained lit with flamed torches on the wall.

 

“It’s been awhile since I last spoke to father…” Hercules began as a look of dishearten struck his face. “It seems he really has given up on the world…”

 

“Didn’t you just come out of this room?” Sora questioned as he wondered if he talked to Zeus prior to Sora’s appearance.

 

Hercules shook his head. “No…but I like to come out here and just sit for a while, remembering the old days..”

 

“The old days?”

 

“The days where Zeus was worshipped and honoured.” Hercules said with a proud expression and tone. “That’s the real Zeus…what’s happened to him now, I don’t know…”

 

Sora began to look up at the statue of Zeus. He looked slightly angry as he began with.

 

“Hey Zeus!” Sora called out in frustration. “What’s the deal!”

 

“Sora…”Hercules whispered under his breath.

 

“Why have you given up on the world that relies on you! Herc and I are here and we want to talk!”

 

The 2 waited for any kind of response from the statue. After a few seconds Hercules spoke up.

 

“Forget it Sora..” The 2 turned and began walking in an upset like manner towards the door, when suddenly what seemed to be a lightning bolt struck the giant statue causing the giant white arms to be released from attaching to the chair. The giant eye lids opened, the loud noise emitted from the awakening of the statue caused Sora and Hercules to turn around.

 

“Dad!” Hercules called out with a smile, he began running towards the giant statue but stopped when Zues yelled out.

 

“Did I hear the name “Sora!” Zues was furious he seemed to already know Sora but from a different perspective. Sora remained

Speechless wondering what he could have done. “Well did I?”

 

Hercules began to speak. “Dad Sora’s here to help!”

 

“Help?!” The mighty Zeus roared. “The only thing he and his keyblade bring are destruction to this world! I will not allow him to leave alive!”

 

“What are you saying dad!?” Hercules began to run over to Zeus when suddenly a lightning bolt struck in front of him, the impact on the ground caused a mini explosion sending Hercules hitting a far wall and falling to the ground barely able to move.

 

“Herc!” Sora called as he brought his keyblade out and grasped it with 2 hands. “What’s your problem!?” Sora was furious about what had taken place. “How could you do that to Herc!”

 

“You will not leave this room!” Zeus roared as Sora began to run towards the giant statue.

 

Herc while lying on his stomach barely lifted his right arm pleaded under his breath. “Sora….no…”

As Sora continued to run forward a lightning bolt was headed in his direction, anticipating this Sora rolled to his left avoiding the collision and continuing his run.

 

“You dare defy the gods!” Zeus called as he sent yet another bolt of lightning headed for Sora, Sora managed to roll to his right dodging it but as soon as he lifted his head up he saw an oncoming lightning bolt. Sora squatted down and jumped into the air the impact of the explosion lifted him higher and a little bit above the knee level of the giant statue. Sora then glided towards the lap of Zeus.

 

A swing of Zeus’s giant hand headed right for the just landing Sora, Sora immediately jumped back, landing on the edge of the knee barely able to maintain his balance.

 

As another giant arm swung towards Sora, Sora jumped backwards and off the knee gliding and landing on the ground back where he started.

 

“Darn, his to strong!”Sora said as he stood in a defensive stance panting slightly. He gripped his keyblade tightly thinking of his next move.

 

“oh…” Sora turned to face the moaning Hercules watching as he struggled to get to his knees. Herc attempted to push himself up but fell back on his gut.

 

“Herc!” Sora called out as he then faced the giant Zues and began sprinting towards him. “That’s it!”

 

“You still dare to defy me!” Zues called out as he pointed one finger towards the moving Sora, Sora stopped as he watched a glow of gold form a golden orb in front of Zeus’s finger. The gold light emitted from the orb soon engulfed the room causing Sora to look away and block his sight.

 

“What’s happening?” Sora thought to himself as suddenly the light all began being absorbed and retracted to the golden orb. The room returned to its normal lighting as the orb glowed a magnificent gold.

 

“Rage of the gods!” Zues called out, suddenly the orb formed into a giant lightning like beam. The bolt of lightning headed straight for Sora. Sora stood startled by the power being created and released by Zeus.

 

“Sora!” Herc suddenly called, Sora then came to his senses and attempted to jump back, however before he could land in the new spot, the bolt of lightning had hit the ground. The resulting impact caused the building to shake along with the ground, it also formed into an explosion of smoke and dust that caught the airborne Sora, sending him through the air and skidding on the ground. Small traces of smoke were emitted from Sora’s clothes as he lay motionless for a brief second on the tiled ground in front of Herc by mere Metres.

 

Sora’s face and clothes were all damaged and dirty he slowly pushed himself up to one knee, panting slightly and with one eye half closed, showing his signs of exhaustion and damage. Before he could get to his feet Zeus had his finger still pointing towards Sora.

 

The gold orb formed again, this time with slightly less of a glow to it.

 

“Rage of the gods!” Suddenly the orb formed into a jolt of lightning, an aura headed straight for the kneeling Sora, Sora glanced back, he realised he couldn’t dodge it otherwise it would damage Herc. Sora held his keyblade horizontally in front of him.

 

“Thunder!!!” A voice suddenly came from behind the laying Herc and the kneeling Sora. A lightning bolt was then seen leaping over the 2 wounded and colliding about 10 metres away with Zeus’s own lightning bolt. The impact caused an explosion of smoke that soon diminished in the air.

 

“Who dares to defy the gods!?” Zeus called out in anger as Sora looked back slightly confused.

 

Sora smiled as he saw Donald and Goofy standing next to each other. Donald had his wand pointed forward and was panting slightly.

 

“Donald, Goofy!” Sora called in pure joy as the 2 new comers walked next to Sora.

 

“Well we couldn’t just let you fight on your own there Sora!” Goofy said in a cheerful way.

 

“You okay Herc?” Donald asked in a disheartened tone. Herc smiled lightly replying.

 

“Yea…I’m fine..”

 

Donald then walked and stood next to Sora. Sora smiled at seeing Donald and Goofy either side of him. He then stood up and pointed his keyblade into the air.

 

“Haven’t done this in a while,” Sora stated in a cheerful smile, his expression then turned serious as he called out.

 

“Give me Strength!!!” Suddenly a red light began emitting from his clothes, as they began waving slightly as if a breeze of wind had set in. Donald and Goofy watched on and nodded together in unison as if they knew what was happening. The light dust around

Sora began lifting into the air and moving carelessly. Sora closed his eyes then opened them to reveal his pupils had turned red.
