After having defeated Xehanort and managed to have saved Kairi from her fate, Sora disappears into a dark abyss of Darkness. Just as it seems like it'll be an endless sleep for having abused the Power of Waking, an outsider manages to teleport the y...
Theresia, Grimm, and Carol all three had the chance to get to know Cloud as they were able to enter the land of Vollachia.
During the travel, Cloud had been vague about his past, not wanting to disclose it with three strangers he hardly knows of but something he did disclosed was his interactions with Sora.
That conversation began when Theresia asked in a calm yet friendly manner,
"Do you know someone named Sora?"
"Hm? Sora? I haven't heard that name in a while..." Cloud was silent as he thought fondly of the boy, recalling his first and last encounter with him.
"How did you two met? Are you both friends or foes?" Carol said as she was curious on the history between this warrior and the keyblade master. Cloud looked at Carol for a moment before looking forward.
"We met during a tournament."
"A tournament? What kind of tournament?" Theresia asked as she was intrigued by what the boy with the long sword was saying.
"A fighting kind. I was...misguided. I wanted to get something back and this annoying guy told me he could help me get it. So, I participated with the contract being to defeat this hero, Hercules."
Grimm, Carol, and Theresia all looked at one another, the three of them noticing some guilt hidden in the serious tone of voice. Cloud continued,
"My next opponent was Sora and his two friends. They were in my way to facing Hercules. I originally didn't want to face them but the annoying guy, Hades, was being annoying about it but made a fair point that I needed to beat them if I wanted to face Hercules. So I did just that, took on that boy with the key and his two friends."
"How did that go?" Theresia asked as she was curious whether Cloud won or not. Cloud stood silent for a second before responding.
"We couldn't finish the match properly since I was attacked by Hades' underworld dog. Hercules saved me and Sora with his two friends managed to defeat said dog."
"Really?" Carol said with a surprised tone of voice. Grimm was also impressed by the keyblade wielder's previous feats. Cloud noticed this and just kept a blank expression. He continued to speak about his first encounter with Sora,
"Despite the trouble I caused, he was still worried for my well-being. That kid is a good person."
"Wait then, why did you side with that Hades guy?" Theresia asked with a curious and concerned tone.
"Hm...I was trying to look for someone, I even tried to exploit the darkness but it had backfired."
"Oh." Theresia said as she was left stunned. Cloud noticed the reaction but didn't put too much thought into it. Carol crossed her arms as she thought of the situation before Grimm handed her a paper, wanting her to ask his question for him. She nodded at him before turning towards Cloud.
"Were you able to find the person you were looking for?"
"Hm..." Cloud paused as he recalled back in the Olympus Coliseum.
("Hey, are you all right?")
