Maya's P.O.V
Unexpectedly we arrived yet again to Olympus Coliseum, but like always, Sora landed the ship in the Underworld.
" Come on, Sora! Can you please tell me what the heck I said in my sleep talk, that night?" I begged walking backwards.
He shook his head. " It was nothing. Really! You probably meant it for someone else. Just let it go already." I pout. How can I clearly let it go when I can tell it's bugging him too. Wait? 'Someone else?' what could I possibly say that he could take it the wrong way?
" Hey!"
I turned around to see Hercules and Meg at the entrance. " Herc! You feeling any better?" Sora asked. The last time we came here, Her got all down in the dumps.
" Well... some routine. Wonderboy here thinks his hero days are over. And Phil thinks it's all in his head." Meg said that he still hasn't gotten over it.
" Gawrsh, Herc. We know you're a hero!" Goofy assured him.
" That's right.... Blunderboy. How can you mope on a momentous day like today? The Underdrome's back, and you're gonna fill the stands." Hades suddenly appeared. " After all, your fans won't settle for anything less than a certified hero."
Herc glared at the god of death but this turned into a frown. " I mean, if you're not up to it, you could always just, I dunno, LOSE!" Hades suggested.
" I bet you'd like that!" Sora glared.
" Excuse me? Hey, I'm not a selfish guy. I'm not like those high and mighty snobs up on Olympus. I sand for the masses! And have I got a massive idea!" Hades defended himself. " The games, ladies and gentlemen... are back! Yours truly, Hades--- the one and only Lord of the Dead--- brings you the ultimate games, to celebrate the re-opening of the ultimate coliseum! We'll finally answer the age--old question: who deserves the title 'Ultimate Hero'? These games are gonna settle the debate once and for all! The winner reigns supreme. Of what? You guessed it! The Hades Cup! and I assure you that the 'Great' Hercules will be there. Otherwise..." Hades annoyingly ranted on.
I swear dose this guy have an off switch? Herc pulled Meg behind him. " You'll never see your girlfriend again." He threaten as he disappears in a cloud of smoke.
" Lowlife!" Sora insulted him.
Hades chuckles. " You're too kind, kid." His voice echoes around us.

" Who do we face first?" Herc asked as we were in front of the board.
" Let's see..." Sora mutters.
" It's ' Spin Strike.'" I read the board.
" Look! Auron's in the tournament, too!" Donald pointed out his name.
" Uh-oh! We might have to fight him in the finals!" Goofy says worriedly.
I crossed my arms. " Oh, don't worry. We got this one in bag." I assured them everything's going to be fine.
" I bet he's a real hero, huh?" Herc says putting himself down.
"Well, I don't think he's a bad guy... But you're the only hero around here, Hercules. You know that." Sora tried his best to encourage him. I know he's trying to cheer him up but did he forget that Phil made me a hero too?
" Maybe before... Now I'm just wash out." Herc said frowning.
" Stop that!" Sora yelled at him.
-----
The first match was so easy for us to beat. " How'd it go out there, champ?" Sora asked Herc.
" I'm just now what I used to be. Sorry to drag you down, guys." Herc said still feeling helpless.
