Kingdom Hearts 2, Protectors of the Light

Olympus Coliseum: The Underworld

"are you sure this is the coliseum", Goofy asked, looking around at their surroundings

"the Gummi Ship said "Olympus Coliseum", Kate stated

"it's that way", Donald said, pointing towards a set of stairs, light emitting from the top

"oh, guess we were a little off", Sora said as the four began walking towards the stairs, only for a scream to stop them in their tracks, turning around, they saw a woman running away from the heartless, as the four ran forward, the heartless ran away, the woman then began to stand up, Sora offering her a hand

"thanks, but... I'm fine", the woman said as she stood up, "and you're supposed to be",

"I'm Sora, she's Kate, he's Donald, and he's Goofy", Sora stated, "we came to see how Hercules is doing",

"you know Wonderboy", she asked

"yeah, 'cause we're heroes too", Donald stated

"ya mean junior heroes, Donald", Goofy corrected

"looks like we have a friend in common, names Megara, my friends call me Meg", Meg said

"so how's Herc", Sora asked

"well, he's duking it out at the coliseum every day, you know "a hero's work is never done", and all that", Meg explained, "he's ready to drop, but he keeps on fighting, even Wonderboy has his limits, though, the opponents are bad news, special deliveries from Hades himself",

"Hades", Donald shouted

"right, Lord of the Underworld, I was on my way to see him, maybe I can get him to give Wonderboy a breather", Meg stated

"gawrsh, It sounds like you two are more than just friends", Goofy said

"we'll go have a talk with Hades", Sora stated

"alright, but let's keep this "chat with Hades" thing our secret", Meg asked

"our lips are sealed", Kate said as the four then ventured down into the underworld, the deeper the four went, the scarier it was for Donald and Goofy, after awhile, the four made it inside Hades' palace to see Hades fighting with a mysterious man

"Hades", Donald shouted

"you again", Hades shouted back, soon focusing his attention back onto the man, successfully knocking him down, as the four began to attack, none of their attacks landed on Hades, not even their magic attacks

"something's wrong", Donald stated

"I feel kinda funny", Sora said

"that's right, see, that's the thing, in the underworld, heroes are officially zeroes, comes with the territory", Hades explained as he began to charge at the four, only for the man to block his attack

"go now", the man, Auron ordered

"but we've gotta talk to Hades", Sora said

"what was that", Hades asked, covering his ears

"we can't fight him here, we have to go, now", Auron stated as then everyone began to flee, Hades sending out not only his attacks, but Heartless as well, after awhile, the five made it to the underworlds entrance, Hades was no longer chasing after them, but their exit was locked tight, a keyhole on the door, both Sora and Kate used their Keyblades to unlock the door, as the door began to open, Cerberus appeared, right before any of the four could leave, they all turned back around to fight.

"I still remember the last time we fought Cerberus", Kate said

"me too, let's do this", Sora stated as the five began fighting, luckily enough, the battle was easy, as Cerberus was knocked down, everyone ran out, as the door began to close behind them, the four made funny faces at Cerberus which made him charge at them, but the door closed behind them, turning around, Auron was gone, with the ordeal of Hades behind them, the four walked up the stairs to see the coliseum.

"gawrsh, this sure does bring back memories", Goofy stated as the four approached the doors, only for a tired Hercules to come walking out, after seeing the four, his tired look went away and changed to a happy one.

"Sora, Kate, Donald, Goofy, when'd you get here", Hercules asked as the four said hi to him, "you guys on another adventure",

"yeah, trackin' down some friends, wipin' out some Heartless", Sora stated

"junior heroes, always busy", Hercules said

"you know it", Sora said

"so, did you guys find your friends", Hercules asked

"yeah", Sora said

"but then we lost one of em'", Kate stated

"well... we're still working on it", Sora said

"we ended up in the Underworld, where we met up with... Heartless, so we ended up going to Hades to teach him a thing or two", Kate explained, "however, the Underworld drains away not only our strength, but our magic as well",

"well, there is a stone that guards against the Underworld's curse, however, Hades is no pushover", Hercules stated, "why don't you all go talk to Phil for a bit",

"that sounds like a good idea", Sora said as the four made their way towards the coliseums arena where they saw Phil setting up.

"hey champ, how ya feeling, better rest up for tomorrow's match, nobody's gonna pay to see a worn-out hero... capiche", Phil said which made the four silently laugh, Phil heard the laughter and quickly turned around to shout at whoever was laughing, only to see the four, his anger went away and turned into happiness.

"well, if it ain't the junior heroes", Phil stated, "how've you guys been, have you earned your "true hero" wings yet",

the four pondered at the question for a bit until Phil interrupted their thoughts, and then put the four into training, after training was done, Hercules came into the room, the Olympus Stone, the stone that they'd need for the Underworld, had been stolen, by a guy in a black coat, and ran down into the Underworld, and also Meg had been missing, to later find out that Hades kidnapped Meg, and a Hydra was coming to stop Hercules, so the task was given to the four, soon after, the four re-entered the Underworld, where the Underworld curse began to affect them, all knew that they had that stone back, and fast, after navigating through the Underworld once again, everyone ran into the guy in the black coat.

"ah, you... wait a sec... Roxas, Xion", the guy said

"excuse me", Sora asked, confusion in his tone

"Roxas, Xion, oh, it's no use", the guy said

"what are you talking about", Kate asked as the guy pulled out a card from his pocket

"let's see here, if the subject fails to respond", the guy read out loud

"are you sure the Organization brought in the right guy", Kate whispered, loud enough for Sora to hear which made Sora laugh, soon after, the guy, Demyx, held out a stone, the Olympus Stone, using it on himself, he then began to create clones of himself out of water, the clones were easy to defeat, he then disappeared into a Dark Corridor, leaving the Olympus stone behind, Donald then grabbed the stone and handed it to Sora, the stone then activated, the four felt their strength returning to them, pushing forward, the four found Meg, se seemed to be trapped within stone, a keyhole on the stone as well, unlocking the keyhole, the four were transported to another part of the Underworld, where Pete was waiting for them, as the four fought, they found themselves outnumbered, luckily enough, Hercules came to their aid, with his help, Pete was easily defeated and fled away, as the five began to run towards the coliseum, they were then told that the Hydra wasn't defeated, running up to the coliseum, the place was in ruins, and the Hydra was destroying what was left of the coliseum, this caused everyone to fight, although tricky at first, the group had to separate themselves to give them an advantage to defeating the Hydra, then... not long after, the Hydra was finally defeated, and a keyhole appeared, to which both Sora and Kate used their Keyblades and locked up the world.

"time for us to go", Sora said as everyone nodded their heads, their friends said their goodbyes as the four returned to the Gummi Ship.

(Meanwhile)

Queen Minnie entered a room and gasped in shock at the sight around, sharp thorns surrounded the room, it was unknown if the thorns would spread throughout the castle

"Oh, King Mickey, I wish you could hear me, the castle is in danger, we've gotta do something soon, Donald... Goofy... where are you", Queen Minnie said with worry in her voice
