Chapter 7: The flirty goat and the fantasy battle
Third point of view
Location: Space
As the disk of the world was collected and given to Kitty for the Power of Flight, she is instructed to keep a conscious thought of how long she has been flying to avoid any dangers. Hades on the other hand, is now floating in space in his icicle tomb. As he floats in space, a hand rests against the surface of Hades' frozen coffin to reveal Chronos.
Chronos: You know, you're pretty lucky that you're even here. Had the disk not given her an ability to power up, you would be stuck here in this frozen tomb in that pitiful world...
Hades began to try and voice his anger as his flames could not light up. Chronos chuckled in seeing Hades angered and relished in Hades' anger and rage.
Chronos: Although I would love to keep you frozen in a place like this. You still have your own uses. Though, you can't do much to help me out here. Nor will you be able to help in the world coming up. Looks like someone will... Have to make a deal with someone soon enough~
Hades began to try and yell out more in rage as Chronos laughed in bringing Hades back to the world where the Villains are gathered.
Location: Villain Stronghold.
Appearing in a portal, Chronos brought in Hades as he tossed the God of Death's icy coffin onto the ground and made him more angry.
???: HAHAHAHAHA!!! Looks like old fire head, just got iced~
???: Do you EVER shut up!?
???: Only when I sleep. WHICH I DON'T!!! WAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
???: You are more insufferable than that Peter Pan!!!
???: I shall take it as a compliment~
As the two unseen villains continued their argument, Hades was getting more angry as it was clear he just wanted to get out of the prison of ice. Chronos knocked his hand against the ice as it made it hurt Hades' ears in feeling the vibrations from the tapping.
Chronos: Oh. Sorry. Did that hurt you?
If Hades could make a facial expression, it would have been one of anger and rage. Chronos laughed at this and spoke still.
Chronos: That's right. You can't speak still.
As the fight between the two villains continues and Chronos keeps annoying the trapped Hades, Maleficent comes into the room to investigate what all the commotion is.
Maleficent: What is going on here?! I can hear all the noise echoing throughout the whole place!
Chronos: Ah, if it isn't the wicked witch of the west. Did you get crushed under any houses lately? Cursed any little girls and their little dog for a pair of ruby slippers~? Oh, I think someone is green with envy the Good Witch of the East stopped some the evil again~ Poor little witch can't even do any plans~
Green flames shot past Chronos and hit the ice Hades was in as muffled yells could be heard in hearing the ice roll against the ground.
Maleficent: Enough with your infernal jokes!!
Chronos: Then, do you dare try to strike me? Do I need to show you just why I took your placement?
Chronos emanated an aura of dread and darkness. Maleficent could feel her hand tremble in seeing Chronos try to take a step towards her as she lowered her staff. But she did try to give a comeback on the failure of the world once again.
Maleficent: You may have become leader, but twice those worlds that have been created from the disks you gave us have failed. First the boy got the power to rewind time with that Dagger, and now the girl has the Power of Flight. Their abilities are growing, and you are showing just how incompetent you are.
Chronos appeared suddenly in front of Maleficent as she willed herself to not flinch at anything that happened. Chronos stared at her with the one eye on his helmet as his soft breaths could be heard.
Chronos: Oh, you think my tactics are... "Incompetent" you say...?
Chronos kept looking at Maleficent as she wanted to step back from him, but held her ground.
Chronos: For your information. Studying your opponent and learning who you're dealing with is much part of trying to take care of them. Learning their weaknesses and learning how to make the strongest of them all falter in weakening them. Everyone has a weakness. Even that blasted fool known as Soejammy.
Maleficent: And if studying the opponent is so important, and Soejammy has a weakness, then what is his weakness?!
Chronos got in really close to stare into Maleficent's eye with his as he talks to her.
Chronos: With the one thing that he has always worried about since the start of their journey. Protecting that woman that he has seen get hurt or killed by the hands of anyone and losing himself to his own darkness. Attack her, and he can't focus on anything, but protecting her. Leaving him open to attack.
Soejammy's point of view.
World: Olympus Coliseum
Location: Outside Coliseum
After recovering from the "claw attack", I did try to get back control of the ship to drive. But the spoilsport duck wouldn't let me near the controls, the others had tied me down into a chair and got us all to the next world, the Olympus Coliseum. After a safe, but rather boring landing, everyone got out of the ship and started looking around. Which left me only one thing to do...
Soejammy: Oi!! Don't leave me tied here!! I swear if you leave me here, I will get out of these ties and mess around with the ship as much as I want!
Everyone was sweat dropping at the shout, but I could see Goofy and Sora having to hold Donald back from barging into the ship and giving me a piece of his mind. Beat quickly came back into the ship and helped untie me with a sheepish smile.
Beat: Whoops, sorry big bro. Didn't mean to forget to untie you.
Soejammy: Beat, because you helped untie me, when I get control of the ship again, you get to be my first mate.
Beat's eyes glistened at the offer I made as Donald broke free of Goofy and Sora's grasps and charged in to push Beat away from me.
Donald: NO, YOU'RE NOT!!! I REFUSE TO LET YOU GET THIS SHIP AGAIN!!! YOU ARE GOING BACK INTO THOSE TIES AFTER WE ARE DONE IN THIS WORLD!!
Soejammy: You and what Heartless army, duck? From my viewpoint, you don't have an army of 1000 Heartless behind you to back you up on this. Also, word of warning, you might want to be weary of something like that in the future. Possibly more.
Before Donald could give a classic scream of annoyance, he instead quacked, surprised when Beat returned the push as he got out of the ship with an excited shout.
Beat: Enough talk! We have a new world to explore and Heartless to fight!
I chuckled to myself as I looped Beat around my finger in my offer.
Soejammy: Heh heh heh~ Too easy~
As we exited from the ship, I could see Kitty looking at me with a stare as she got in close.
Kitty: You are a sneak for making a deal like that with Beat... But I do admit it's a very sneaky move.
Soejammy: And yet, you can't help in being impressed~
In return to my statement, I got puffed cheeks and a roll of the eyes as Kitty turns away and starts walking towards the doors that lead to the lobby.
Kitty: Let's just get going before Beat bursts from excitement. I am pretty curious about what this world will be like too.
Soejammy: Yeah... You might want to stay outside the lobby area, just to be safe. Maybe even safer if you stay on the ship...
Kitty looked at me and rolled her eyes.
Kitty: And miss a chance to see what this world has to offer??? No thanks! I may not be a fighter, but a cat is always curious.
Soejammy: Yeah... Just don't let it get to a point where that curiosity gets the better of you...
Before I could say anything else, Kitty turned back and followed the group who was already heading into the lobby with Beat in front. Sighing to myself from knowing what was going to happen, I followed along to not get left behind.
Location: Lobby.
As I got into the Lobby, everyone was already there as Sora went to approach Phil who was putting up a sign with rules up.
Sora: Um...
Without even looking at who was talking, Phil just gave a hand gesture for help while talking.
Phil: Good timing. Give me a hand, will ya?
Pointing to a pedestal to a random corner, he kept looking at the sign while giving instructions.
Phil: Move that pedestal over there for me. I gotta spruce this place up for the games.
I smirked silently as I watched as Sora went over to try and push the heavy pedestal over with no change ever made to the position to the object at all. I moved in front of Kitty to not let her be seen by Phil if possible. Sora took deep breaths to regain his energy as he walked back to Phil and spoke to him.
Sora: It's way too heavy!
Hearing this, Phil tensed as his tail stood straight up in the air.
Phil: What? Too heavy? Since when have you been such a little-
During his rant, Phil finally moved his gaze away from the sign to turn to look at Sora, stopping mid-way when realizing it's not the person he thought he was talking too.
Phil: Oh. Wrong guy. What're you doing here?
Jumping off the pedestal, he started walking towards Sora while continuing to speak,
Phil: This here's the world-famous Coliseum- Heroes only!
Soejammy: Really?
Soejammy began to look left and right and looked slightly annoyed.
Soejammy: Because if you ask me, I don't really see any. Just a dog, a duck, a monkey-boy, a spiked fruit top, a cat, a goat-man, and myself. Odds are, you're not getting any heroes.
Sora: And who are you calling a spiked fruit top?!
Soejammy: Oh? And how do you know I was talking about you, spiky?
Sora was annoyed at the new nickname, but not as annoyed as Phil who immediately marched towards me.
Phil: You have some nerve to come to my coliseum and begin talking like this! The games haven't begun yet as we're still preparing!
I looked at Phil as I smirked and crossed my arms.
Soejammy: Well, if you're still preparing. Are you willing to test us out to see if we qualify for the games~? I'm sure we can give a show.
Donald: You have heroes standing right in front of you!
Goofy: Yeah! Three of us were chosen by the Keyblades!
Donald: And we're heroes too!
This caused annoyed looks at Phil as he began laughing at the statements made by Donald and Goofy.
Phil: You? Heroes?
Sora: What's so funny? We've fought lots of monsters before!
As Phil finished laughing, he began to try and push the pedestal while talking. Though was getting blank or unamused looks as he struggled to move it.
Phil: Hey, if you can't even move this... You can't call yourself... Heroes!
He finished speaking while leaning against the pedestal while catching his breath, having been unable to move it at all. I began to snicker as I was given a look by Phil of annoyance.
Phil: Okay, so it takes more than brawn. Well, well, let's see what you can do. Run through my courses and see if YOU got what it takes. And then maybe, just MAYBE, I will let you take part in the games.
I smirked as I looked at Phil with a confident look, others sweat dropping from how cocky I looked.
Soejammy: Bring it on. I'll complete whatever challenge you give me easily.
Phil: Well, look at Casanova over here. Trying to woo people.
Phill got in front of my face as he pulled me to his level. I kept Kitty hidden as I didn't want her to be seen by him.
Phil: I got two words for you. Prove. Me. Wrong.
I counted the words he gave to me as he let go of my collar as I said to him.
Soejammy: Wait, isn't that three...?
Phil: Are you here for math or are you here for a trial? I ain't wasting my time!
I rolled my eyes as I cracked my knuckles and cracked my neck.
Soejammy: I'll vouch for everyone that we have faced great beings ourselves. We may be all self-taught, but we have skill~
Phil: Well, if you're so confident, I can assume you're ready for the trial?
Soejammy: Bring it goat. When I'm done, everyone will be calling me the G.O.A.T!
Everyone looked at me as if I had gone crazy as I looked at them.
Soejammy: It's an acronym! It means: Greatest Of All Time!!!
The looks that everyone gave didn't stop as they still looked at me as if I've gone crazy but just sighs. Phil brought us back onto the subject as he was ready to explain the trial.
Phil: Well, if you're ready, follow me and I'll explain the trial.
As soon as Phil went through the doorway, I soon began to follow as another path opened up for the others to head to the stands.
Location: Stadium
When the others went to the stands and I followed after Phil, we got to the trial as Phil looked at me. I looked around as I saw barrels around the place with platforms to climb. I knew what the challenge was, I just had to be fast.
Phil: The rules are simple: Burst all the barrels within the time limit. Ready? Go!
When Phil said to go, I immediately charged into the area and did a great swing attack that sent the three in front of me sailing in three directions. One of them heading for a group of barrels that caused the four of them to explode in front of me. The next was a set of six barrels, two barrels were stacked on top of each other in a row of three. I jumped as I did a power swing to send the three on top flying to attack the barrels on the platform higher and behind the stack I had and did the same to the remaining. When I was done, it had taken me only seven seconds to my count. Phil had his jaw drop in how fast it all happened as I smirked.
Soejammy: Think we got what it takes to be in the games~?
Phil: You think just by clearing those that quick proves anything??? That was ONE test of two!!
Soejammy: Let's just hope there isn't a third. Because if there's anything like how you talk, you either go one word above the number you say or below it.
Phil looked angry as he clapped his hands as the stadium changed once more. There were more barrels now along with higher platforms. I smirked as I knew my path to take and got set.
Phil: The rules are the same as before, break all the barrels before time runs out. Ready? Go!
The first thing I did was break the four barrels that were in front of the platform before heading to the other side and breaking the single barrel there. This caused the barrel to be sent flying into another behind it, leaving only one left to break on the ground. Jumping onto the platform, I lined myself up to the three to swing greatly to send them flying into the wall before jumping up to the next. I carefully lined myself up to the next platform as I aimed the barrel to destroy the four barrels in front of me. When I swinged, I sent it flying to do what I had planned. The next parts were tricky, but I kept my eye on the barrels down below as to remind myself of them still. I came to another 2x3 stacks of barrels like from the previous challenge as I jumped to swing at the top ones with all my strength to destroy them. Then I continued my momentum when landing to do the same to the bottom ones as well. Jumping up to the next platform, I saw a barrel and another across the way as I looked at it and stuck out a tongue with one eye closed to aim. Lifting the barrel up into the air, I threw the barrel to crash it into the other. This seemed to catch Phil's attention in seeing my quick thinking as I soon began to backflip off the side and swing at the second to last barrel to crash it into the final one.
Phil: Hey, you're better than I thought!
I chuckled as I swung Oblivion in the air and rested it against my shoulder.
Soejammy: Ha! Too easy. Platforming is one of my specialties, if not only somewhat good~
My friends began to cheer for me as I saw Kitty was being blocked from seeing Phil. I just hope he doesn't even realize this as soon.
Location: Lobby
When getting back to the lobby, Phil looked at me as he began speaking.
Phil: You know, you ain't bad, kid.
Soejammy: Looks like I'm heading to the games~
I said this with my arms behind my head with a big smirk from proving Phil wrong. This soon turned to a blank look from Phil's next words.
Phil: Afraid not.
Soejammy: Why not?
Phil: Two words: You guys ain't heroes.
Phil turned his back to everyone as we all began protesting this decision.
Sora: Oh, come on! Jammy just completed your trial easily! That should qualify for the games!
Phil turned back to us when we finished protesting.
Phil: Wanna become a real hero? Start by mastering this spell.
Phil soon handed me a spell that infused all of the magic users in our group to cast Thunder. It felt electrifying and a slight jolt to our nervous systems as I chuckled.
Soejammy: This is gonna be fun~
Donald looked at me when I said that and stared.
Donald: I hope that isn't implying that you're going to do what I think you're thinking, right?
I looked at Donald and felt offended.
Soejammy: By whatever do you even mean???
It wasn't only Donald who gave me an unamused look, but the whole group gave it to me while speaking in sync.
Everyone but Phil and Soejammy: You cause a lot of chaos, what do you think we mean?
Soejammy: Not that much. Now, changing the subject.
Donald: DON'T YOU DA-
Soejammy: Thunder!
Donald was soon struck with lightning as he quacked and fell to the ground in a daze. Beat seemed to enjoy it as he fell down laughing at this as I looked at Phil.
Soejammy: If we even DID want to join the games, isn't there a SPECIAL admission kind of way~?
Phil thought about it before nodding his head.
Phil: If you have an entry pass you could join. But no entry pass, no games.
I smirked as I got in close as I wrapped an arm around Phil and held him close.
Soejammy: Then~ What is this that I see behind your ear~?
I slightfully got the ticket out of my sleeve and pulled it out from behind Phil's ear as he went wide eyed in shock of seeing the ticket. It was the same ticket that Hades had given me when I battled him in Skyworld before freezing him in a block of ice.
Soejammy: Oh my~ A ticket for the games~ However did that get there~?
Phil took the ticket quickly as he looked at it from every angle possible and rubbed his eyes to see it was a genuine ticket for the games.
Phil: WHERE IN THE NAME OF ZEUS, DID YOU GET ONE OF THESE!?
Soejammy: I have my ways~ Now, you can't say we're not qualified for the games, if we have something like that~ Right~?
Phil was about to say something when he knew he lost a battle of wits.
Phil: You know what? You're a lot more cunning than I gave you credit for.
Soejammy: Better get started up with signing us in~ Because we're in it to win it all~!!
Phil: Yeah, yeah. Just get your team together and-
When Beat fell down from all that was happening, he accidentally exposed Kitty and caught Phil's attention.
Phil: Hey uh, who's the girl~?
I froze when Phil saw Kitty as I tried to play it off.
Soejammy: She's with us. You don't have to worry about her. Now, let's-
Phil ignored me as he went over to Kitty and licked his hand to pull back whatever hair his tiny scalp had back.
Phil: Why~ Hello there~
Kitty: Umm...Hi. Nice to meet you.
Phil: And what is your name~?
I felt like triggers were being set off in my brain when hearing Phil begin to flirt with Kitty.
Kitty: My name is Kitty, and your name is?
Phil: Phil~ But you can call me, the G.O.Y.D~
Kitty: Sorry but...What is G.O.Y.D?
Phil: Goat Of Your Dreams~
Everyone in the room went silent as I felt my anger rising in hearing Phil say that to Kitty. I saw the shock on Kitty's face as she turned around and began heading outside.
Kitty: Nope. I should have stayed on the ship. I shouldn't have gotten off. Jammy was sadly right!
Kitty exited out of the lobby leaving Phil in shock.
Phil: Hey! Toots!! Come back!!
Phil began to chase after Kitty as I felt every nerve explode in rage as Beat was trying to hold me back.
Beat: Jammy! What are you thinking right now!?
Soejammy: Goat-man soup!!!
Beat: He is still a man!!!!
Location: Outside Coliseum.
When getting to the door to look outside, Beat still had a hold on me as he tried to keep me from trying to end Phil's goat existence. I could see Kitty outside, but was more just exploring having thought she was away from Phil and could relax for a moment.
Phil: So~ Come around here often~?
Turning around surprised with her tail tensed thinking she was in danger, I could see Kitty sigh relieved that it wasn't danger, but was tense still from seeing Phil.
Kitty: First time actually. I thought since I don't like fighting, it could be fun to relax and explore instead.
Phil: If you're lookin' for a personal trainer~
Phil got in close to Kitty as he wiggled his eyebrows to try and flirt more. I felt every fiber of my rage increasing when seeing him flirt with Kitty like that as Kitty tried to back away.
Phil: I can be that person~
Kitty: That's very kind of you to offer, but would be a waste of your time. I'm not a fighter at all.
Phil: Nonsense~ I can turn any man into a hero, and even any FEMALE into a heroine~ And I can do just that for someone like you~
I felt my nerves popping out of my head in feeling my anger keep spiking out of control as Beat tried to keep me held back, even though I was powering through his own Saiyan strength.
Beat: I know I may be crazy right now, but how are you still inching your way towards Phil when I have a hold on you!?
Soejammy: Grrrrrrr!!!!
I kept inching my way towards Phil, numerous tick marks on my head as Kitty kept trying to back away with a sheepish smile.
Kitty: Y-You really would be better finding someone more suitable to be a hero to train, but thank you for the generous offer Phil.
Phil held up a flower and tried to hand it to Kitty as it set me off greatly.
Phil: Come on~ You~ Me~ The training ground~ Rawr~
Phil made a sound that completely shattered every fiber of control I had as I used Thunder on Beat to cause him to be knocked down in shock. Literally. As I soon began to rush towards where Kitty was.
Kitty: I appreciate the offer, but I'm not really-!
Phil: Come on~ What is one training session going to hurt~?
The sound of my thudding footsteps could be heard as Kitty and Phil could see me heading over with a look of pure rage.
Soejammy: HELP IS ON THE WAY KITTY!!!
Kitty: Oh no...
Kitty soon began to quickly get out of the way and leave Phil in my path.
Phil: Now wait a second-!
Soejammy: HELP IS ON THE WAAAAAY!!!!!
I soon punted Phil with my foot as he soon began to bounce from wall to wall in the area outside the Coliseum as Kitty sweat drops seeing this.
Kitty: Isn't this way too extreme...?
Soejammy: It is NEVER extreme. Just delivering the just deserts to the BIGGEST player of this place... Ever... Of all time...
Kitty: Phil is bouncing from wall to wall! That is way too extreme! He didn't deserve for this to happen to him, even if he is a player!
Kitty looked at me as I had said something that caught her attention.
Kitty: Was that a Washington reference?
Soejammy: I don't know. Did I do something from Aphmau earlier?
Kitty thought about what I said before nodding and giving a teasing smile.
Kitty: Oh, you did. You can't deny you are as protective as Zayn and Aaron now~
I rolled my eyes and waved a hand at that statement and turned away to watch Phil bouncing all over the place.
Soejammy: I am NOT protective as Zayn and Aaron are. I just had a need to stop Phil from fraternizing you.
Kitty raised a brow as she stood next to me, sweat dropping more when seeing Phil continuing to bounce.
Kitty: You're just as protective as Zayn and Aaron are to Aphmau, you can't deny it. But we really should help Phil stop bouncing.
As soon as Kitty said that Phil came crashing to the ground and rolled against it as he was sprawled out on the ground.
Soejammy: There, he's stopped.
Kitty gave me the "really?" glance before shaking her head and heading over to Phil to help him up.
Kitty: Sorry about Jammy... He's just really protective of his friends and family. Are you okay? Do you need any help?
Phil sprang up as if trying to tidy himself to not look embarrassed.
Phil: Ha! Are you kidding me? I take hits like that ANY day.
Kitty: Well, if you're really sure. But I'm happy to help if you ever need it.
I intervened as I took Kitty by the shoulders and began to lead her away before Phil could say anything.
Soejammy: And with that, we need to get our team together and figure out what to even do. We have LOTS of planning.
Kitty rolls her eyes while being led away, pretending to cough, and mumbling something.
Kitty: Protective.
I looked at Kitty as I raised my Oblivion out.
Soejammy: I can shock you the same as Beat and Donald, I hope you know that.
Kitty flinched at this threat but puffed her cheeks, still mumbling before sighing.
Kitty: You're just proving the point...
I smiled while leading Kitty back inside while Phil grumbled in missing his chances on another. I could have sworn I heard Phil say something, but didn't really pay too much attention.
Phil: Great. It's just like that one time with Aqua, but a pesky snot nosed brat got in my way as well. What's with my luck here???
Location: Lobby.
After leading Kitty back inside the Lobby, I saw Beat had recovered from the shock as he came over.
Beat: You didn't have to shock me! That really hurts you know!
Soejammy: Not my fault you tried getting in my way. I HAD to stop Phil from flirting at Kitty. It REALLY annoyed me.
Beat: Phil flirting with Kitty made you annoyed? What, do you have a crush~?
I gave a blank look with shadows over my eyes as I slowly brought out my Oblivion to make electricity spark around it. Kitty flinched more when seeing the electricity as she moved away very quickly. Beat looked scared when seeing the sparks on my Oblivion and the shadows over my eyes.
Beat: I was only teasing big bro! No need to look so scary!!
Soejammy: THUNDER SHOCKER!!!
A loud booming noise could be heard as Beat yelled, causing an echo of pain. In the lobby, Beat was smoldering with a passed out look in his eyes with smoke coming off his body as I seemed to have gone overboard.
Soejammy: Whoops... I think I did a little too much.
With everyone having gone silent as what I had done to Beat, Goofy was the first to break it.
Goofy: Gwarsh, I don't think you needed to have used so much magic there.
Donald: A little? A little too much?! YOU MADE HIM PASS OUT AND THERE'S SMOKE COMING OFF HIS BODY!!
Sora: Is he even going to be okay after that big of a shock?!
I shrugged as I used Cure to heal Beat up from his wounds as he felt even more energized than before.
Beat: Woohoo!! I feel alive once again!!!
The group looked at Beat as I sighed and explained.
Soejammy: Beat is basically different from us as near-death experiences and recovering from them increases his power. In a sense, I helped him in gaining power from being knocked out like that.
Donald: Wait, you mean he can just get stronger from recovering from heavy damage like that?! That makes no sense!!
Soejammy: Deal with it or you'll know the real meaning of Roast Duck.
Donald decided not to find out the real meaning of Roast Duck and went back to being silent, Chibi bringing everyone back on track.
Chibi: Shouldn't a team be planned if we've been able to join the games? It's not going to be nice to keep Phil waiting.
I nodded my head and crossed my arms to think.
Soejammy: You're right, Chibi. Now... A good question is... Are you joining the fight? Or are you going to sit in the stands to watch?
Chibi thought and decided to create popcorn out of nothing and eat it.
Chibi: I'll be fine with just watching. It wouldn't be fun to take on others that weren't like me.
I looked at Chibi and nodded my head slowly.
Soejammy: Good point.
Beat: I want to be a part of the team!
Sora: How many can we have on the team?
Phil walked into the lobby to answer Sora's question.
Phil: As many as you have. There is no amount of teammates you could have on the same team. Could be three, could be four. Who knows. You can have as many as you want.
Soejammy: Sweet.
As the signing of registers were commencing, I could feel as if we were being watched once more as some goosebumps could be felt in alerting me of this.
Third point of view.
World: ???
Location: Villain Stronghold
As Zapper Zaku watched the image projector on the table in front of him. He was very angry at seeing Soejammy's group and remembering the past failures.
Zaku: Why can't we beat the living hell out of this shit head!?
Gouf: Maybe if you didn't mess up our plans much, you would sure to have made impacts.
Zaku: Oh, can it, you lug nuts!!
Gouf: Want to say that again to me?
Zaku was about to start yelling once more when a voice penetrated the room.
Chronos: Will you two EVER cease your infernal rambling!?
The two stopped as Chronos walked into the room with a sack over his shoulder.
Zaku: Oh great... Chromedome is back...
Gouf: Careful what you say, he even made Maleficent step down from her position, remember?
Zaku: How can I not?! I was there!
Gouf: I was beginning to wonder when you decided to keep insulting him, bolts for brains!
Before Zaku was able to say anything in response, Gouf turns to look at the sack Chronos has over his shoulders before looking at Chronos.
Gouf: What's with the sack boss?
Chronos: This is something I'm planning to drop into the stands as to "surprise" our adventures.
Zaku: Ugh... Like we need more surprises...
Chronos: But you're also going there too. You have the games to attend.
Zaku: WHAT!? WHO SAYS!?
Chronos: I do. And with how this is going to be, you'll be having back up on this.
Zaku was about to say something, when Gouf pushed him out of the way.
Gouf: Trust me sir, the last time was just a fluke. I promise I'll-
Chronos: Oh, I wasn't talking about you. You're supporting this mission as well.
Gouf: Huh!? Then if it isn't me or him, then who is it!?
Chronos: He should be dropping in any second now...
As if on cue, something landed on the projection table and pushed it back down into the ground. Zaku and Gouf turned around to see a shadowy presence with one red glowing eye as they dread for the mission.
Gouf: Oh no...
Zaku: This nimrod nuts for brains!?
???: Dah! Ready for deployment!
The shadowy presence brought out two rocket launchers and pointed them at Zaku and Gouf.
Zaku: Gah!! Okay! Just put those away before you freeze my motherboard again!!!
Chronos began to laugh as he soon disappeared, along with the sack he was carrying.
World: Olympus Coliseum
Location: Stadium
Once entering the stadium, the group began to stretch as the arena had been placed where the group would be fighting. It was a way of making sure both contestants AND projectiles launched wouldn't exit to fly off into the stands. Soejammy whistled as he stretched to work his body out.
Soejammy: Mmmmm...! Yosh!!! I can't wait to kick some ass around here!
Donald looked at Soejammy as a jolt of electricity came off him.
Donald: Just make sure you know who your enemies are. At least.
Soejammy: Yeah. Just don't be in my line of sight. I always see you as my enemy, ya lying duck.
Donald felt offended by what Soejammy said, but still remembered the talk they had before leaving Traverse Town. As the group was about to get ready, Goofy looked up and saw something falling from the sky.
Goofy: Huh? What's that??
Pointing upward, the group looked up and saw whatever was falling. When it crashed onto the stands. After everyone saw a bag was on the stands, it was soon filled with a cry ringing out.
???: OUCH!!! WHO THE HELL PUT ME IN THIS SACK!? WHY CAN'T I JUST DIE DAMN IT!!!
When hearing the voice, Soejammy began to head over to the bag as he recognized the voice.
Soejammy: Eh? Is that the sounds of a dumbass I hear?
???: WHO ARE YOU CALLING DUMBASS, YOU DUMBASS!?!?!?
Soejammy: Yeah, it is the sound of a dumbass. A VERY specific dumbass...
Thinking she recognized the voice herself, Kitty headed over to the stands.
Kitty: No way... This shouldn't be possible, I didn't think he was coming over to my house!! How the heck would he end up in a sack?!
???: THAT'S WHAT I WANT TO KNOW!!!
Soejammy: Pulling the sack off, it was revealed to be Slayer! The meme lord who gives no shits about anything that happens at times!!
Slayer: WHY ARE YOU NARRATING!?
Kitty: Isn't it usually a French narrator?
Soejammy (French Accent): I can be one if you wished it~ Oh ho ho~
Kitty and Slayer both gave Soejammy a Deadpan look at the horrible French accent, really hoping that the ACTUAL French narrator isn't going to be offended.
Kitty and Slayer: That... Was the worst French accent ever heard... Of all time...
Soejammy: I at least tried to attempt it!!! I don't see you two doing it!!!
Slayer: Why the hell would we even TRY a French accent when there's no point?!
Kitty: Umm, excuse me...I have a BRITISH accent already!! You know how hard it is to try other accents?!
Soejammy: I don't want to hear it!!
Hearing the commotion, Phil began to come over to see what the fuss was about.
Phil: Hey! What's the big idea!?
Kitty: Ah, sorry Phil. We didn't mean to cause a commotion. A friend...Dropped in for a surprise visit?
Slayer: If by that you mean "get beaten up by surprise and then land in a Russell Crowe's Gladiator colosseum and then find Jammy and Kitty" then yeah, a surprise visit...
Beat: Hey! I'm here too!!
Slayer: And the surprises never cease to happen...
Kitty: Trust me... Just be glad you only dropped in now... Way too many surprises to count right now...
Phil: Well try not to make too much of a ruckus! Heroes will be coming here for the event, not for whatever circus show this is.
Soejammy looked at Phil and Slayer and began to snicker regardless.
Slayer: What's so funny?
Soejammy: You and Phil.
Phil: Why am I part of it?!
Soejammy: Oh, just imagine~ Half Goat, Half Man, the incredible goat man~
Slayer looked unamused, Kitty gave a facepalm and Phil looked ready to ram his horns into someone from anger.
Slayer: So, why am I part of it?
Soejammy: I mean, just look in this mirror.
Pulling a mirror out of nowhere, Slayer could see himself in the mirror and saw nothing wrong.
Slayer: Okay, what's wrong with it?
Soejammy: Nothing. You just look like a puppet is all. Hahahahaha!
Slayer: WHY YOU SON OF A-!!!
Before anyone could get more angry from Soejammy's comments, Kitty quickly butted in along with Beat.
Kitty: Okay, important matters at hand here! Like figuring out who put Slayer in a sack and the tournament a team still needs to be made!
Beat: Exactly! I'm ready to fight already, we don't need to be wasting any time!
Having forgotten what the earlier talk was about, Beat just rushes to the middle of the arena with Soejammy facepalming.
Soejammy: That Saiyan brat is going to be the death of me... Which almost happened when he became a sand creature...
Slayer: And yet you still see him as your little bro-WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?! Sand creatures?!
Kitty: One of the surprises... Somehow the world from Prince of Persia was made and we got stuck there... At least stuck fighting the giant Heartless. Other than that, Jammy, Jiminy and Mini-Nep remember an adventure where we went through some Palace or something...
Slayer: Questioning whether I should question how only three people remember a whole adventure but no one else...
Soejammy: Because the journey got rewound back to a point before an attack on a Maharaja's Palace where someone gave the Vizier something that turned him into a secret boss in KH known as Kurt Zisa with four arms and blades in each hand. I even got this nifty dagger that rewinds time. Kitty also learned how to fly, right?
Slitted and narrowed eyes were all Soejammy got in response to that question, along with a clawed hand as Kitty still clearly remembers how that happened.
Kitty: You mean AFTER you let me end up at the HIGHEST POINT of Skyworld?! And almost let me FALL TO MY DEATH and only ask Palutena for help at the LAST MINUTE?! And not even trying to stop me going that high and saying, "LET'S SEE WHAT HAPPENS"??
Soejammy sweats as he looks at Kitty and chuckles.
Soejammy: Well, I mean, the Keyblade works in mysterious ways... It always acts how it wants. I mean, come on. It pulled into the sky for that, and we sealed a keyhole in the process~
Kitty looks as if she was debating whether to leave a scratch on Soejammy or not, but sighs and retracts her claws.
Kitty: Do anything like that again and I make no promises that you won't get clawed at... And to answer your question, yes I did get the power of flight. But I highly doubt I'd ever use it.
Soejammy: Who knows~
Kitty: What do you mean who knows?! Heights are my biggest fear!!
Soejammy: Not in the heat of battle it might~
Kitty muttered something about heights under her breath, obviously not wanting it to be heard. Soejammy looked at Kitty and tilted his head.
Soejammy: Say something?
Kitty tensed as she wasn't expecting to be heard as she looked at Soejammy. But decided to tease him instead.
Kitty: Only how you find it so easy to fly that you should have this disk instead.
Changing the subject back to what it was before with it being the important thing to talk about, Kitty tilted her head as she looked at everyone.
Kitty: We keep getting distracted and I don't know how long Phil will be patient for. We need to make a team.
Soejammy began to ponder as he had a perfect thought about all of this.
Soejammy: Okay! How about you, Sora, Beat, Donald, Goofy and myself go in? It doesn't limit who can join the team. However, Slayer and Chibi should stay on the sidelines. Chibi could... destroy everything...
Soejammy shivered at the thought of being blasted by Chibi's laser beams.
Slayer: Why am I on the sidelines?!
Soejammy: Because you don't lack motivation! I know it from the posts you say when trying to get motivated to write stories!!
Slayer was going to say something with a raised finger, but lowered it and crossed his arms to grumble.
Soejammy: Yeah, I thought you'd see it my way, Mr. Meme Lord.
Slayer kept growling as he looked at Soejammy.
Slayer: I hope something kicks your ass and blows you up!
Soejammy: Ha! In your dreams maybe! Now, who are we facing first?
Phil: Well, there are a lot of strange contestants. But get into the ring and they'll appear.
Soejammy nods as he didn't waste any time and heads into the ring, Beat following behind excited. Donald and Goofy just trailed behind with Kitty reluctantly following to start the Preliminaries. The battles consisted of 4 Soldier Heartless and 3 Blue Rhapsody Heartless. Soejammy was coordinating strategies and covering each other's backs to ensure little damage was done to his team. The best strategy used for the Blue Rhapsody Heartless was using fire magic since they are weak against it, which soon defeated them all. After swings from the Keyblades in a combined effort, it wasn't long until the Soldier Heartless was defeated too, completing the Preliminaries as Soejammy's team had won. Once the match was over, Phil came into the ring to talk with everyone.
Phil: You're no heroes yet, but you ain't doing bad. Lucky you came to me for coaching.
Soejammy: "Coaching"??? What have you even taught us???
Kitty: Maybe some coaching might not be a bad idea though. At least for those who don't feel as confident fighting with how many Heartless we've faced already. And who knows what other dangers we're going to be facing.
Phil: And that's why I like ya, toots~
Seeing the shadows that are gradually appearing over Soejammy's eyes again at Phil talking to Kitty, Goofy was quick to intervene before any more lightning could be struck.
Goofy: Coaching could be a good idea, but first we should finish the matches right?
No one was able to reply to Goofy as a person soon walked into the ring which captured everyone's attention, especially Sora's when he locked eyes with this person before they left the ring while walking away. The mysterious person is Cloud. Cloud has spiky blonde hair and green eyes. His outfit consists of a red cape and red fingerless gloves, along with a black shirt and black jeans and a pair of brown boots. He wields the Buster Blade that's covered in bandages, and does have a black demonic wing. But it's only seen when he uses the move called Omnislash. Everyone's attention was brought back to Phil when he spoke up after Cloud had walked away from the group, but everyone kept looking in the direction Cloud went.
Phil: Something tells me he'll be a tough one to beat. Who knows, maybe you'll end up facing him. But if you want to get that far, you have some other matches to win. Everyone ready to carry on?
Donald: Bring it on! We're ready for anything!
It seems the short-tempered duck is still annoyed when Phil laughed at them when he was told the group are heroes and was determined to prove him wrong. There was a mixture of determination, excitement, and reluctance to fight but just wanting to get it done as Phil left the ring for match 2 to start. With everyone ready, another group of Heartless consisting of 10 Shadows and 3 Blue Rhapsody appeared in the ring as the next enemies to defeat. The Blue Rhapsody was easy to defeat as the same strategy was used as before with using fire magic. Though the Shadows were the trickier ones to beat as they kept disappearing just before they were about to be hit. It took some sneaky moves and being aware of the surroundings, but the Shadows were soon beaten by using the new Lightning magic and hitting them when they reappeared, giving the group another victory. But there was one small problem...
Donald: How many times do I have to say I am not an enemy?! First, you constantly keep freezing me with Blizzard magic, and threaten to turn me into a roast duck. And NOW you keep hitting me with lightning! My tail feathers are scorched because of it!
As you most likely have guessed by now, when lightning magic was being used by Soejammy, Donald was also the magic's target. Despite being shouted at by Donald, Soejammy only looked at him calmly while replying to his complaints.
Soejammy: I was targeting the Shadows with the lightning magic. If you were hit by it, then it wasn't my fault if you were too close to a Shadow at the time.
Before any more complaints could be heard from Donald, it was Slayer who interrupted the fight this time as everyone looked at the stands to see him eating popcorn with Chibi.
Slayer: If you're going to be fighting, at least keep on fighting the Heartless! This is some good entertainment going on right now! And Chibi here makes some good snacks.
Chibi: I made the popcorn.
Chibi then summoned a humongous bucket of popcorn. Floating up, Chibi dropped himself into the tub.
Slayer: Chibi! What have we told you about getting buttery popcorn on you!?
Chibi: I feel so greasy!!!
As Slayer facepalmed and was trying to deal with getting a now greasy Chibi out of the popcorn somehow, the group sweatdropped seeing this.
Soejammy: We don't tell Charles of this... Ever...
Kitty and Beat: Completely agreed...
Kitty and Beat both agreed knowing how protective Charles can be of Chibi. Donald, Sora and Goofy looked at the three confused as they didn't know Charles.
Sora: Who is Charles? And why aren't you telling him about Chibi with the popcorn??
Kitty: Charles is a friend or like a brother to us and Chibi is usually with him.
Beat: Which is honestly surprising to see them separated like this.
Soejammy: But because of how Charles and Chibi are usually together, he's quite protective of Chibi with how innocent he is. He wouldn't be happy about seeing, or in this case, hearing about Chibi getting greasy like this... Wait... What is Slayer doing...?
Slayer was at the top of the bucket as he had changed into a swimsuit.
Slayer: If you can't stop the kid getting greasy, join'em!!
Slayer then proceeded to jump into the bucket.
Soejammy: Why do I put up with him...?
Kitty: I only became friends with Slayer through you, so you must have known him for a while. But they do say that crazy people attract other crazy people~
Soejammy: Are you calling me crazy!?
Kitty: Does it really come as that much of a surprise?!
Soejammy was instantly gone as he also was at the giant bucket with his own swimming trunks.
Soejammy: Not really.
Soejammy then jumped into the bucket making everyone fall to the ground hard.
Soejammy: The popcorn is giant AND greasy!!!
Despite how everyone was meant to be focusing on the fights, it was impossible to not laugh at all the chaos caused by this scene. That is, everyone BUT Phil who had gone completely red in the face.
Phil: Are ANY of you taking this seriously at all?! And look at all the mess you've caused in my ring! If you're not going to take the games seriously, I will kick all of you out right now!
???: WHAT?! I DIDN'T COME HERE JUST TO BE CHEATED OUT OF A FIGHT!!!
???: You idiot! You ruined our element of surprise!
Popping his head out of the bucket, Soejammy looked down and could see Zapper Zaku and Grappler Gouf.
Soejammy: Red? Blue?? What are you two doing here? Wandered here by accident? Wait, did you two come to say hi? If so, hi there!
Zaku: Grrrr...! I really hate him!
Gouf: Keep your server motors screwed tight, okay??? We're going to get him.
Soejammy: What? You two are still mad about the missile in the arm??? Come on, you two had that one coming a mile away there. Not my fault you made it so easy to set up to detonate.
Gouf: Oh, you little-!
Zaku: Oh, I'm going to enjoy beating this annoying pest! Including his meddling friends.
Soejammy: Don't you mean kids? Come on! How could you mess up a classic line from Scooby Doo?! What next? You're gonna say "and your little Nep, too!"?
Hearing her name being mentioned, Mini-Nep poked her head out of Soejammy's pocket to stick her tongue out at Zaku.
Mini-Nep: Nep! Nepu nep nep!
Soejammy: Damn! I never thought I'd hear something like that come out of your mouth! Who taught you to talk like that?!
Instead of answering the question, Mini-Nep only gave a cheeky smile and a wave before hiding back into Soejammy's pocket.
Soejammy: Hey! Just because you can hide in my pockets, doesn't mean you're avoiding that question!!
As the group giggled or laughed quietly to themselves seeing Soejammy talking with Mini-Nep like this, Zaku and Gouf just looked at him as if he really had completely lost his mind.
Zaku: Are we REALLY dealing with the same ignoramus that keeps blowing me up!?
Gouf: It sounds like him, but not with many marbles in his head...
Zaku: Yeah, reminds me of ANOTHER one we know with not too many circuits in their servos...
Gouf: Did you REALLY have to mention him...? Bad enough the boss made us have to work with him...
Zaku: You think so as well!!
Gouf: I at least KNOW when to keep my mouth shut! Instead of causing more trouble for everyone!
Zapper Zaku growled at his partner's words and tried to keep himself focused.
Zaku: Hey!! What are you idiots doing!? Fight more Heartless, so I can fight you! You dumb organics!!!
Soejammy: Says the guy whose ship I stole as a cop and flew it into space. I'm not sure who's the dumber one... You, or me...
Slayer: A miracle occurs! He actually admits that he is dumb!
Soejammy: Says the actual dumbass! Who the hells fall from the sky in a sack!? You!!
Slayer: I WAS KNOCKED OUT!!!
Soejammy: Says the guy who LET himself get knocked out.
Slayer: I didn't just LET myself get kidnapped! I didn't even see the person! Just... I think I saw a red eye but nothing else. It was only a split-second thing and next thing I know, I'm falling in a sack.
Soejammy looked at Slayer as if trying to figure out who was the assailant. But before Soejammy could figure it out, Phil began to call in for the next match. What followed was Zapper Zaku and Grappler Gouf with the Zakos as they took out the 5 Blue Rhapsody and 5 Red Nocturne Heartless with their guns and explosives.
Zaku: GAH HAHAHAHA!! NOW THIS IS HOW YOU CAUSE CARNAGE!!!
Soejammy: Oh brother... Here we go with the maniacal laughter...
Zaku: CAN IT, YOU JOY RIDE FREAK!!!
Donald: Finally, someone agrees with me that he is a joy ride freak!
Soejammy: Ha! So Zaku AND Donald are very much alike!
Zaku and Donald: Everything you just said has made me VIOLENTLY angry!! OH GREAT!! Now I'm agreeing with the duck/robot!! Look what you made me do!!!
Soejammy: And once again~ Chaos has reigned~
Despite both being enemies, Donald and Zaku glared at Soejammy and looked ready to show them chaos themselves. But before that was possible, Phil came back into the ring to talk with everyone.
Phil: Well at least someone is taking the events seriously. Impressive with how quickly you took out those guys, but try not to damage the coliseum with those weapons of yours.
Zaku: Just you wait and see, that was nothing! I'll take down whatever enemies you throw at us quickly, faster than those organic morons over there could ever do.
Zaku was looking directly at Soejammy as he said this, sparks of electricity seen between them as you could see it was going to be a big competition between them. Before Soejammy could make his own remark, Phil took the attention back to him as he did say something that made Soejammy and his group smirk or smile.
Phil: Though despite how they need to take this a LOT more seriously and treating this as if it's just a mere game, can't deny the other group does have some fighting talent. They're better than I thought! Wish he was here to see this.
Though Zaku was sending a glare towards Soejammy's group which was only met with the biggest smirk on Soejammy's face, Sora was the one to break the tension for a moment and ask Phil a question.
Sora: Who?
Phil: Hercules. He's a hero if ever there was one. Too bad he's off visiting his father. But that's enough talk for now, the event still needs to continue, and we don't have all day to chat. Best get ready for the next match.
Soejammy: Oh, we're always ready to kick some Heartless ass! And prove that us "Organic morons" are better at fighting then a certain anger management robot~
The sounds of guns getting ready to fire was heard, but was soon stopped by Gouf dealing with Zaku along with Goofy trying to keep the peace as best as he can by talking to Soejammy.
Gouf: Will you quit it, anger for brains?! If you make us mess up AGAIN then I don't think the boss will have that much patience left for us! Really want to risk it?! Our chance will come, just deal with it for now.
Goofy: Gwarsh, I know that they are enemies but there's no need to wind him up so much. Our focus right now should be on the games, and there's always a chance to face them later if we qualify.
Thinking about what Gouf and Goofy said to each of them, Soejammy and Zaku looked at each other before declaring.
Zaku and Soejammy: That time better come soon! I'm ready to put him in his place!
With the tension higher than ever, everyone but Zaku and Soejammy was facepalming and thinking the exact same thing.
Everyone but Zaku and Soejammy: How do we put up with these idiots...?
Knowing there was nothing that could be done but finish all the fights, Soejammy's group got ready for match four. The group of Heartless in this fight includes 2 Shadows, 2 Soldiers, 3 Blue Rhapsody and 3 Red Nocturnes. The amount of Heartless in each fight was getting bigger, but they still weren't too big of a match for Soejammy's group. It was more about being careful as sometimes a Red Nocturne was hit by Fire magic or the Blue Rhapsody was hit was Blizzard magic unintentionally, but with swings of the Keyblades, Blizzard, Fire and Lightning magic being used, Beat with his fists and Goofy helping to block magic used by the Heartless, the fight was soon over as another victory was gained by the group.
Beat: And another victory for us! Despite having more enemies, these fights feel really easy!
Kitty: Got to admit, these fights do feel a lot easier than dealing with a giant Heartless. But I'm still going to be relieved when this is over with.
Soejammy: But nobody can deny that this is still fun~ Even Quackers and Spiky over there.
Quackers and Spiky, or Donald and Sora looked at Soejammy annoyed at the nicknames.
Donald: Enough with the nicknames already! But I will admit it is a pretty good chance to practice my magic.
Sora: And a good chance to prove we are heroes. But my name is Sora, not Spiky!
As the group was talking, Zaku got impatient and headed into the ring ready for the next match.
Zaku: Fight now, talk later! The sooner I get to put the annoying pests in their place, the better!
Gouf: Of all the robots to get stuck with as a partner, it just had to be with him...
Gouf muttered to himself as he headed into the ring after Zaku. Once everyone was ready, match five which consisted of 9 Blue Rhapsody began. Though it's a stretch to call it a match as the Heartless had no chance, being beaten easily by the bullets shot from the guns and causing a quick victory to be claimed by Zaku and Gouf with their Zako soldiers. Of course, Zaku took great pride in gloating about it.
Zaku: And that's how a fight is really done! Quick and easy!
Soejammy: You call that a fight?! Where was even the strategy in that?! All you did was go gun crazy!
Zaku: Who cares?! A win is a win!
Soejammy: Yeah... A lousy win when it involves guns...
Zaku: Oh yeah?! Well show us how you'll do it then!
Soejammy: Oh! Bring it tin man!
Zaku and Soejammy got really close as sparks kept flying from both of them glaring at each other. The sparks soon disappeared as Gouf dragged Zaku away and Beat dragged Soejammy into the ring for the next match. Everyone watching this deadpanned as the others got into the ring for the next fight. The Heartless group consisted of 1 Large Body, 4 Blue Rhapsody and 4 Red Nocturne which led to a pretty easy fight with everyone knowing how to beat these Heartless by now. Blizzard magic, Lightning magic, Fire magic, Keyblade swings and punches being thrown, and all was finished quickly for another victory. During the match, Cloud and Chronos were currently in the small area behind the gates.
Cloud: So... I just got to beat the kids and man over there.
Chronos: Of course. If you do that, I can guarantee anything you desire. Does not matter what it is, as long as you do your part in the deal we made.
Cloud looked at Chronos and gave a slight scoff before closing his eyes. As soon as the fight was over, Soejammy looked at Zaku with a smirk ready to gloat.
Soejammy: Now that's how you REALLY win a fight, with strategy and teamwork~ Not with cheap peashooters~
Zaku: Oh, we'll show you these are not cheap peashooters when I blast you into oblivion!!!
Soejammy: Ha! Not if mine has anything to say about it!!
Soejammy says as he summoned out Oblivion and pointed it at Zaku.
Soejammy: Trust me~ It will make you go there, just like in its name~
Zaku: The very moment that I get to finally deal with you, I will show no mercy and it will be the best moment of my life!
Soejammy: Says the guy who just let me waltz into their ship and fly it. Who even lets them do that???
Zaku: I NEVER HAD A CHOICE!!
Soejammy: They tied me up before we got here, they had a choice.
Donald: We were only able to do that WHEN you were in a shell-shocked state! Otherwise, we could have never tied you up!
Soejammy: AND YET YOU DID DUCK!!! DON'T COMPLAIN!!!
Both Donald and Zaku looked ready to both deal with Soejammy themselves and make a temporary truce. Luckily for Soejammy, Phil soon interrupted and brought everything back on track.
Phil: If you're going to fight, at least fight the enemy and not your teammates! You still got one more match to complete, you know?!
Groans were heard from the unlikely duo of Donald and Zaku who just wanted to get their own payback on Soejammy for all the trouble he caused, but knew there was nothing they could do right now. Wondering who the last opponent is to face, Beat asked Phil.
Beat: Alright, I can't wait to finish this last match! But who is our opponent?? Is it more Heartless?
Instead of the question being answered by Phil, it was instead answered by the last opponent which is revealed to be Cloud as he stepped into the ring. Looking really pale at the opponent, Kitty turned around and went to walk out the ring to go and sit in the stands and watch instead.
Kitty: Nope, nope, nope! Heartless is one thing, but no way I'm doing this fight!
Looking at Cloud, Soejammy began to step into the ring as he summoned out Oblivion.
Soejammy: Guys, I'm taking him on by myself.
Beat: WHAT?! Are you nuts?! Do you SEE the sword he is carrying!?
Donald: Though it is obvious he is nuts, I have to agree with this. There's no way it's possible to take him ALONE!
Goofy: This would be best as a fight to do as a team Jammy!
Sora: Come on Jammy, let everyone help! We can do this together!
Even Slayer and Chibi had to put in their input on this with how crazy Soejammy's idea sounds on taking Cloud on alone.
Chibi: You're going to get hurt badly!
Slayer: This isn't a fight in a game Jammy, you can't just revive yourself and carry on like nothing happened!
Soejammy just ignored their talks as Zaku was just cheering on Cloud to beat Soejammy up.
Zaku: HEY!! YOU WITH THE BIG SWORD!!! SLICE HIM UP!!!
Gouf: Uh, you do realize that if that guy loses, we have to face the guy with the giant sword next, right? Plus, WE wanted to beat up that Keyblade wielding idiot.
Zaku, stopping in his mid-chant, began cheering differently.
Zaku: COME ON, YOU KEY WIELDING MORON!!! BEAT THAT OTHER GUY TO A PULP AND FREEZE HIM LIKE YOU DO TO THE DUCK!!!
Donald: I CAN HEAR YOU BOLTS FOR BRAINS!!!
Zaku: Want me to fill you with lead instead!?
Donald: I'd love to see you try when I fry your circuits!!
As the two were getting riled up, the gong sounded for the fight to begin as Soejammy rushed in towards Cloud to defend the strike that came his way. Soejammy tried to circle around Cloud to get him from behind, but failed in being matched with speed. When Cloud began trying to swing his blade, Soejammy watched his movements to analyze the trajectories before dodging out of the attack from Cloud. Once out of the way, a shadow could be seen covering Soejammy as he looked up to see Cloud falling towards him with a blade encased in dark energy. Soejammy proceeded to dodge roll to the side and prepare his fire magic to cast at Cloud. Each one blocked easily by the swordsman himself.
Sora: I don't know which is better... Soejammy getting his butt handed or that he could seriously get hurt.
Donald: He's getting what he deserves getting his butt handed to him like this after all the trouble he caused!
Goofy: But he's still a part of the team, and nobody wants a friend getting seriously hurt.
Beat: I'm sure that big bro is going to be fine! He will be fine...Right?
While some were talking about the fight, others were watching while cheering Soejammy on to win. Cloud had begun pushing back against Soejammy as he was on the defensive now with Cloud swinging his huge blade at him.
Slayer: Come on Jammy! I've seen you put up good fights before, you can do it now!
Chibi: I believe in you! You can do this!
Kitty: You had better win this! I know you can win this fight!
Soejammy watched Cloud as Soejammy swung his blade with Cloud in a form of striking upward. The two blades connect to where Cloud's Buster Sword was suddenly deflected in losing his balance.
Soejammy: Gotcha!
Swinging his Oblivion, Soejammy began to hit Cloud with his own combo. Attacking five times in a row, Soejammy caused Cloud to be knocked back and forced to go with the direction he was going in to roll in getting back up quickly.
Cloud: That all you got?
Soejammy: Here comes more where that came from!! Hot Shot Special!!
Focusing his magic to fire, Soejammy began to send wave after wave of fire projectiles at Cloud. Cloud began to defend the onslaught of them as Cloud thought it would be the end of that once Soejammy used up all his magic on that. When it stopped Cloud thought it was safe once more, but soon saw Soejammy had gotten close and in the air.
Soejammy: Have some of this!!!
Swinging his leg, Soejammy kicked Cloud in the head and caused him to fly down the arena and slide against it. Soejammy landed with his weapon brandished still while Cloud got back up quickly with his sword as well. Everyone was just watching in shock of how the fight was going, with Sora and Donald being the ones most shocked about this.
Sora: How... How can he put up such a fight alone like this??
Donald: And how did he get so good at using magic so quickly??
Soejammy: It's because I'm a quick learner. If you must ask yourself. Might want to be a bit more quiet when asking your questions while I give you all the show of your time.
Sora and Donald: Just focus on the fight!!
Soejammy smirked as he saw Cloud had jumped into the air and was about to drop back down on Soejammy. Rolling to the side, Soejammy got his blade up to block a few strikes from Cloud while being glared at.
Cloud: I won't let you win.
Soejammy: Jeez, why so serious pal? Someone got a screw in you or something? I know one guy in a show that did have that, trust me, couldn't sit because of it.
Cloud only glared at Soejammy more for his comment as he kept trying to strike as Soejammy kept blocking.
Cloud: I made a deal with someone that if I beat you and the kids, I can get whatever I wanted. And I don't plan on losing out on this deal at all.
Soejammy: Yeah, and let me guess, old fire head Hades making that deal with you?
Cloud: Who's Hades? The person I met didn't have fire on their head.
Hearing this, Soejammy lost focus on the fight after hearing that.
Soejammy: Wait, what are-
Soejammy had lost focus as Cloud strikes at Soejammy in knocking his Oblivion away. Cloud followed up with two slashes and then used the skill Sonic Rave as he went through Soejammy four times before delivering a hard kick to his back. Soejammy was now weak from the attacks as he was on the ground in pain. Blood seeping from his wounds with some grunts to prove how much they stung. Cloud had his weapon ready still as he prepared to deliver the final blow to finish the fight. Soejammy had many thoughts about the current event right now as it was now changed due to Hades not showing up. If Cloud didn't make the deal with Hades, he wondered who did. Cloud soon jumped into the air as he was prepared to strike Soejammy down, but as Phil was going to call the match, Soejammy felt a burst of strength return to him as he rolled out of the way. Once getting back onto his feet, he saw Oblivion lying down somewhere behind Cloud.
Cloud: Don't think I'm letting you get your weapon back.
Soejammy: Oh, trust me, I'm getting it back. Whether you like it or not.
Reaching out his hand, Soejammy remembered in Kingdom Hearts 2 where the Keyblade could always return to the user if they needed it summoned to them. Oblivion disappeared into darkness and lightning as it soon reappeared back in Soejammy's hand by surprise. Even surprising everyone in the arena of how quickly Soejammy regained his means to fight Cloud.
Donald: He can do that?! Can you?!
Donald asked Sora out of shock. Sora shrugged as he was in a state of shock seeing Soejammy getting his Keyblade back like that.
Sora: I don't know! I didn't even know you could do that until now!
Soejammy looked at Cloud with a firm resolve as he pointed Oblivion at Cloud.
Soejammy: I'll make you talk. If Hades wasn't the one you talked to, I want to know who then.
Cloud: Good luck doing that. You're injured and it looks like one more hit will finish this.
Soejammy: You think, huh?
Soejammy raised his Keyblade into the air as he called out a magic command.
Soejammy: Cure!
Casting the spell, Soejammy could be seen as his wounds began to heal and the blood on him disappearing. This surprised Cloud as Soejammy got into a stance quickly.
Soejammy: Let's change that thinking!!
Soejammy soon began to dash towards Cloud as the two struggled against each other. Soejammy jumped to attack from above, but Cloud suddenly raised his blade to block the strike. Rolling in the air, Soejammy landed on the ground as he crouched and faced Cloud with Oblivion raised.
Soejammy: Ice Magic: Surging Ice Rush!
Plunging the Keyblade into the ground, the ice began to form as it began chasing towards Cloud. Sensing the attack, Cloud began moving away as he kept his guard up. When changing directions, the ice kept following him.
Cloud: They're chasing me?!
Soejammy: I went easy before. Now I want answers.
Focusing more energy to his magic, tendrils of ice began trying to reach for Cloud, only to be swiped away by his blade. Cloud jumped up into the air as the ice kept following. Cloud began to drop where Soejammy was as he had to lift Oblivion and dodge out of the way. The two began to swing their blades as Soejammy used Absolute Zero Blade to match the same density as the Buster Sword. The two connect their blades as a loud ringing could be heard from them clashing like that.
Kitty: OOOOOWWWWW! MY EARS!!!
Kitty had to cover her ears quickly while wincing from how sensitive they felt after hearing the clashing from the blades, but still kept watching the fight worried along with everyone else on how this fight would go. Soejammy held his blade as Cloud began swinging his blade repeatedly to smash it down in making Soejammy crouch on one knee to defend against the attack.
Cloud: FALL!! FALL DAMN IT!!
Soejammy: I know what deal you made with whoever you talked to! You're trying to find Sephiroth, aren't you!?
Cloud froze for a moment, but continued to attack Soejammy regardless.
Soejammy: Fighting me isn't going to change anything! They're not going to keep their end of the deal with you! You're just being used as a-
Cloud: SHUT UP!!
Cloud swung his blade as Soejammy was knocked to the side. Soejammy got up quickly to prepare himself as the two kept trying to push each other back.
Cloud: How do you know of that deal!?
Soejammy: Trust me! You wouldn't believe me regardless! But doing someone's dirty work isn't going to lead you to your enemy! He will come, and I promise, you will have your fight with him!
Cloud: Empty words coming from someone about to lose!!
Soejammy: I think not! THUNDER STORM!!!
Casting his magic once more, Soejammy began to make a cloud in the sky as it was very dark. Only casting it to be only above the arena, lightning bolts began to strike down at random.
Beat: Suddenly I'm glad I'm not in this fight...
As Soejammy and Cloud kept clashing weapons, Soejammy dodged out of the way of one of the bolts of lightning that were raining from the sky. Cloud was even forced to move as well in not wanting to be damaged further than was needed. The two met up as they ran past each other with their blades grazing past the other's blade. A bolt of lightning struck down after they passed by each other as one of them could have been hit by it.
Zaku: Holy hell! When did this brat learn lightning!?
Gouf: Yeah... I'm just going to stay behind you and-
Zaku: DON'T USE ME AS A SHIELD!!!
The Zakos were also hiding behind each other and even behind Gouf.
Zaku: STOP HIDING BEHIND ME!!!
As the robots were fighting amongst themselves about who would be hiding behind who, the sounds of thunder crashing to the ground could still be heard. Soejammy kept moving as he and Cloud would clash, shift to dodge lighting strikes, and keep attacking every time.
Goofy: Gwarsh! This is getting really dangerous!
Donald: Once again! He's making up names for moves and yet it makes them effective?!
Soejammy and Cloud press their blades against each other as they stare each other down.
Cloud: Give up! I'm going to win!
Soejammy: In your dreams, soldier boy!
Soejammy pushed the blades up and kicked Cloud in the stomach away. Looking up, Soejammy could see the bolt of lightning forming above him as he didn't move. Cloud could see the bolt of lightning forming as well and didn't say anything. Raising his Keyblade, Soejammy pointed it to where the bolt of lightning was going to strike down. Beat saw this and began screaming like a little girl.
Beat: BRO!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!? MOVE OUT OF THE WAY!!!
Even Beat screaming like a little girl couldn't bring anyone out of the state of shock they were in seeing Soejammy just standing where the lighting was forming, almost as if time had been frozen as everyone watched with nerves on the edge to see what Soejammy is planning. When the lightning struck down, the lightning struck Oblivion, but it soon created an electrical field around Soejammy.
Cloud: What?!
Soejammy looked at Cloud while the man himself charged at Soejammy. Swinging his sword, the blade gets repelled by the electrical currents and surprises Cloud himself.
Soejammy: Thunder magic: Electro Current.
Stepping forward, Soejammy thrusted his Keyblade as he shot the supercharged Keyblade's bolt straight at Cloud. The attack struck him dead on as Cloud writhed in agony from the lightning striking him.
Cloud: AAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!
Once the stored lightning had been released, it stopped as Cloud couldn't feel his body from being electrocuted by the lightning. Cloud falls to his knees as the Buster Sword falls to the ground as well. Soejammy stepped up and looked at Cloud and soon held his Oblivion to Cloud's neck.
Soejammy: Yield...
Cloud looked at Soejammy as he hung his head. A sign that he couldn't continue fighting as the storm cloud began to dissipate. Without saying a word, Cloud did surrender the match with Soejammy. But before anything else could be said, an explosion happened near Soejammy and Cloud that caused them to be sent flying.
Soejammy: GAH!!!
Landing against the ground, Soejammy struggled to get up as he tried to look at who had caused him and Cloud to be sent flying. In the area behind bars, Chronos watched as he chuckled while seeing Soejammy and Cloud having been attacked.
Chronos: As Hades would have put it if he was here, "Accidents happen." Now, finish them off. Destroyer Dom.
Walking off and then vanishing, something in the sky began to fall as Sora looked up and gasped.
Sora: What's that?!
Catching everyone's attention, Zaku and Gouf began to sweat as they didn't even want to see him.
Zaku: Oh great, now he joins?!
Gouf: And it was just about to be our turn!!
Landing on the ground with a heavy thud, the landing caused the ground to shake and make people have to sit back down to not fall over. In the smoke, a singular eye could be seen glowing as it soon revealed a robot in purple, red, and gray armor. Yellow decal could be seen on some of the horns and missiles he had. To Zaku and Gouf, he was known as Destroyer Dom.
Dom: Target acquired!
Dom raised his rocket launcher and aimed it at Soejammy and Cloud. With the damages Soejammy had sustained, he had difficulty getting up.
Soejammy: D-Damn it...
Dom then fired the rocket that began to fly towards Cloud and Soejammy. Soejammy raised his arms to try and defend what he could against the missile. When it didn't impact him, he looked to see that another person had jumped in. Holding the missile in his hands and digging his feet into the ground, a strong muscled man had come between Cloud and Soejammy. The missile was trying to push the man back, but it soon revealed it was Hercules!
Phil: HERC!!
Hearing Phil calling out to him, Hercules turned to look at him while continuing to stop the missile.
Hercules: Phil, get them out of here!
Phil nods as he helps lead everyone back into the Lobby area, Soejammy and Cloud being supported by others to help them get out of the arena.
Location: Lobby Area.
Soejammy was resting against the wall with Cloud as the others looked at Phil, who was clearly worried about Hercules.
Phil: Phew, that was close! But who the heck was that guy?? Herc should be able to handle them, but then again maybe not... This doesn't look good.
Soejammy soon spoke up as he was able to answer the question about who the attacker was.
Soejammy: Destroyer Dom, that's his name. He's worked with Zaku and Gouf before, but those two don't like him at all. Dom is completely weapon and destruction mad, and will not hesitate to attack anyone. If you want the short version, the best example is how he tried to kill me earlier!!
Kitty: But why specifically you?! Cloud is also injured and could have been targeted too, anyone could have! And if he will attack anyone, it doesn't make sense you were the only one he tried killing!
Soejammy looked at Kitty as he brought up something he remembered.
Soejammy: Remember when I faced Gouf and Zaku at the same time? They could have chosen anyone to attack, but they focused on me in that fight. They were under orders to attack me. I wouldn't be surprised if Destroyer Dom also went by those orders too.
Slayer: Geez, whose bad side did you get on to be targeted for death by the robots? And who's giving those orders to target only you?
Soejammy: Same orders that Cloud was following. Made a deal with whoever got his attention. The deal was too sweet, even Cloud couldn't refuse it...
Beat: But having an actual name for whoever's in charge would be better! We could speculate the whole time with what we know, but have no clue if we're right without the name.
Soejammy: We could, but even then... If this person is who orders Zaku and Gouf, if they brought in Dom for this moment, they're gone just like how Hades would have...
Slayer: By the way, if Hades was supposed to have made the deal, where was he?
Soejammy: Put the old fire head on ice. LITERALLY.
Slayer raised a brow at Soejammy in confusion.
Slayer: Do I even want to question this? Or should I just leave it to the randomness you are well known for?
Getting Oblivion out, Soejammy gave a devilish smirk.
Soejammy: I can show you instead~
Slayer: NOOOOOOOOO THANK YOU!!!
While Slayer showed great disdain at the idea of being shown what Soejammy meant, Goofy broke his silence and voiced the worry many had.
Goofy: While it is also important to find out who is giving these orders, I'm worried about Hercules... Do you think he's really going to be okay handling Dom?
Soejammy looked at Goofy and lowered Oblivion to make it vanish.
Soejammy: Dom has an array of weapons at his disposal... Herc is going to need all the help he can get...
Sora: Then we need to get in there and help him!
Heading to the entrance for the arena along with Donald and Goofy, Phill stopped them before they entered by calling out to them.
Phil: Kid, you're not entering the arena, are ya? This ain't just some match. This is for real!
Sora: I'm not afraid. You can decide if I'm hero material or not.
Phil: Careful, kid!
Location: Arena
Back in the arena, Hercules was defending himself using materials of the area as shields to protect himself from the attacks.
Zaku: I may have lost the chance to get that lunatic brat, but I'm sure as hell going to kill someone today!!!
Zaku began using his guns to fire at where Hercules was. The strong man himself was doing all he could to keep himself protected while using arrows to fire at the Zakos.
Hercules: Darn! There's so many of them!
The Zakos firing their guns at Hercules was soon interrupted as the Zakos gave a yell of their name in pain when some were hit by lightning magic, courtesy of Donald as he along with Sora, Goofy and Beat came into the arena.
Beat: Sorry to interrupt, but I'm here to put an end to this!
Sora: Hope you don't mind some assistance against these guys!
Goofy: We're happy to help!
Zaku: Oh great, the spike boy and his misfit fighters...
Sora got angry when the mention of his hair came up.
Sora: Why do people keep calling me that because of my hair!?
Donald: Misfit fighters?! We'll show you we're the best fighters!
Gouf: Bring it feather head! I'll give you a nice and slow roast.
Donald: I wonder how well you can function after being completely fried up!
Gouf: At least you have the same aggravation as someone I know.
Zaku: And exactly who are you talking about?!
Gouf: You, gun for brains.
Zaku looked ready to show his partner how gunfire ready he is from being called gun for brains, but took the aggression out of the others instead.
Zaku: Can we please just deal with these guys already?! I'm getting sick and tired of these organic morons!
Gouf: For once I agree with you, let's get this over with!
Before they could, Dom suddenly pushes the two aside as both are sent flying into their Zako minions.
Dom: Target locked! Engaging enemy targets!!
Goofy seeing the danger, immediately went in front with his shield raised to try protecting everyone.
Goofy: We better be careful with how dangerous he sounds!
Dom suddenly fires one of the rockets as it bounced off of Goofy's shield and repelled it back at him. Being hit by his own rocket, he looked at his launcher and then at Goofy.
Dom: Duh... Rocket... Not explode on target... Hit Dom instead...?
Goofy kept his shield raised to keep trying to defend against any weapons, Gouf and Zaku getting up from being pushed away while sweating.
Gouf: Do you think we should begin running now...?
Zaku: I hate how I have to agree with this...
Dom began to shake violently as he looked at the others.
Dom: Deploying arsenal weapon!!
Dropping from the Komusai, a yellow heavy looking tank dropped into the middle of the area.
Sora: What's that???
Donald: I don't know, but it looks dumb from what I look at...
Dom: Gallop! Initiate assault mode! DESTROY EVERYTHING!!!
Opening a hatch, dozens of weapons pop out of the hole. From guns, to rocket launchers to even laser weapons. The machine, Gallop, began to fire everything in the arsenal it carried. Gouf and Zaku along with the Zakos were trying to get away and out of the arena before they got blasted.
Zaku: Have fun with the weapon lunatic! Try not to die before I can kill you!
Gouf: Quit yapping and get a move on OUT OF HERE!
The Zakos were yelling as they were being used as shields for Gouf and Zaku to get out of there. Goofy kept trying to protect everyone, but it was getting to be impossible with how many weapons were being fired.
Goofy: We may need to get out of here ourselves!
As the group was trying to escape from the arena, the entrance to get back out had been destroyed. Beat panicking immediately rushed to the entrance while yelling and trying to find a way to get out, even trying to remove the debris.
Beat: I'M TOO YOUNG TO DIE!! LET ME OUT OF HERE!
Donald: So much for the kid that challenges people head on...
Sora: How are we supposed to get out of here?!
Hercules: What? You're going to run when the going gets tough? That's not how a hero acts.
Hearing this, Sora, Goofy, Donald and Beat all looked at each other before nodding determinedly.
Sora: We did say we're heroes and Phil can tell if we're hero material.
Goofy: Then let's not let anyone down.
Donald: And prove we are really heroes!
Beat: Then what are we waiting for? We have a fight to win!
Looking where Destroyer Dom is with Gallop, the group began trying to figure out how to take care of the contraption and even Dom himself.
Beat: Maybe if someone can distract him and we can get some sneak attacks on him?
Goofy: I can always help with defending against the weapons the best I can, but it's going to be hard with how many are being fired.
Sora: It's going to be hard to even get close to him, that's going to be the biggest problem.
Hercules: But with how that thing could harm many people and destroy the stadium, we can't let it keep attacking people.
Donald: Then we need to stop this and fast!
Sora: I know I hate to say it before, but Jammy would be PRETTY useful in this situation...
Beat: But big bro really got hurt in that fight with Cloud...
Donald: I AM NOT GETTING HELP FROM HIM!!!
Goofy: Sometimes, we need to set differences aside Donald. We could use any help we can get right now.
Donald was turning red with anger at how Soejammy was being suggested for help.
Donald: I WILL NOT ACCEPT HIS HELP!!! I REFUSE TO LISTEN TO ONE OF HIS CRAZY IDEAS!!!
Beat: Well then YOU think of something to get us out of this ALIVE!!
Donald: I will!! Beat! You distract the robot by flying around it! Goofy, get Hercules close to the large contraption with Sora, and I'll be back here for support in healing!!
Beat: How come you get to do nothing except for healing!?
Donald: I only excel in magic! It's my specialty!!
Beat groaned as he looked away from Donald as Hercules stepped in and placed a hand on Beat's shoulder.
Hercules: I know you want your friend to be here right now, but he's in worse shape like that other guy earlier. We have to do our best for them.
Beat looked at Hercules and nodded his head.
Beat: Right! For Big Bro!!
Without another word, Beat began to head for Destroyer Dom to gain his attention.
Beat: Hey lug nut! I bet you can't hit me from up here!
Dom: You insult Dom!? Dom will annihilate you!!
Firing his rockets, Dom began to target Beat while the monkey boy kept flying in the air. While Dom was distracted, Goofy began trying to get closer with Hercules and Sora as Gallop noticed them and began to target the weapons for an AOE (Area of Effect). Hercules picked up a barrel to aim for a rocket that was heading for them as it exploded in the air.
Goofy: Thanks!
Hercules: Keep it up!
The group got closer as explosions were happening more often as Beat was yelling.
Beat: Why do I have to do this again?!
Dom: Destroy target! Destroy target!!!
Donald: Just keep it up until we beat this guy!
Getting closer to Gallop, the machine then fired a barrage of missiles as Sora had to cast ice magic to freeze them. Once getting close enough to the machine itself, Hercules punched the target to lift it into the air and then throw it into space itself. Dom, thinking his Gallop was still here, tried issuing a command.
Dom: Gallop! Initiate homing attacks!! Fire at the flying monkey!!!
Beat: HEY! THAT'S RACIST!!!
Completely ignoring what Beat said, Dom was more focused on why Gallop wasn't doing the command as he looked to see it was no longer there.
Dom: Gallop?? Where did you go??? Today is not a hide and seek day!!
Feeling a tap on his shoulder, he turned around and saw Hercules as he then was punched to be sent into the sky.
Location: Space
Up in space, the Komusai was just floating as Zaku and Gouf were at the controls.
Zaku: Ha. Good riddance. Glad we got out of there.
Gouf: Uh, "We"?? You tried to knock EVERYONE ELSE down just to make them targets than you.
Zaku: CAN IT YA MORON!!! At least we won't have to deal with Dom for a while. Wonder if he actually beat those organic lunatics.
Feeling the ship shake, Zaku and Gouf looked at each other and decided to turn on the camera. What they found poking the ship was Gallop.
Zaku: Uh... Is that...
Gouf: No... It can't be...
Turning the camera, they see something flying towards the ship as both of them were trying to squint at the object. Approaching the camera fast, was Destroyer Dom as his face crashed into the camera.
Zaku: HOLY HELL!!!
Gouf: HOW THE HELL DID HE GET HERE?!
Dom (Camera): TRAITORS!!!
Zaku: START FLYING!!!
Gouf: I'M TRYING!!!
Trying to fight over the controls, the Komusai shook and spinned around as Dom was holding onto Gallop as they exited into space on another failed mission.
Location: Lobby
Back in the lobby of the coliseum, Phil was standing on the pedestal with Hercules standing next to him. Standing in front of them are Sora, Goofy, Donald and Beat as Phil was reading something to them.
Phil: Thus, I do hereby dub four junior heroes, and confer upon thee full rights and privileges to participate in the games. Further-
Before Phil was able to carry on reading, he was interrupted by the feather head himself who looked annoyed.
Donald: Hey! What do you mean "junior heroes"?
Phil: You rookies still don't understand what it takes to be a true hero.
Goofy: So, what does it take?
Goofy asked while looking at Phil, who looked at Hercules for him to answer the question.
Hercules: Well, that's just something you'll have to find out for yourselves. Just the way that I did.
Sora: No problem. We'll start by proving ourselves in the games.
Though Sora said this with determination, it was met with lack of enthusiasm from Phil as he looked at the entrance of the arena with a closed sign around it.
Phil: There ain't going to be any games for a while. Gotta clean up the mess from the last battle first.
Beat: What?! Oh, come on! I was so looking forward to the games!
Despite Beat's yell of disappointment that the games aren't going to be happening for a while, Sora looked unfazed as he spoke while everyone was heading out of the lobby.
Sora: Okay, we'll be back.
Saying this, Sora started to head out of the lobby with Hercules waving goodbye to everyone. Despite the games being canceled for now, it wasn't a complete loss as a hero license was obtained from Phil.
Location: Coliseum entrance
As everyone was leaving the lobby and walking towards the entrance to head back onto the gummi ship, Sora noticed Cloud sitting on the steps as he walked over. Catching everyone's attention, they all followed after him to see if Cloud was okay.
Sora: Hey, are you all right?
Hearing Sora talking to him, Cloud snapped out of his thoughts as he lifted his head to look at everyone.
Cloud: Yeah.
Sora: So, why did you make a deal with someone? I thought I heard Jammy say you were looking for someone, is that true?
Cloud nods yes to answer Sora's question while getting up, having been able to recover a bit from the fight with Soejammy and being sent flying afterwards.
Cloud: It's true, I am looking for someone and they promised to help. I tried to exploit the power of darkness, but it backfired. I fell into darkness, and I couldn't find the light.
While speaking, Cloud had looked up at the sky but looked back at Sora when he started speaking again.
Sora: You'll find it. A lot of us are searching too.
Cloud remained silent a few moments before speaking again to ask Sora a question this time.
Cloud: For your light?
Sora nods as Cloud walks over to him and speaks while giving Sora something, a new skill which is Sonic Blade. Cloud also gives the same skill to Soejammy due to the hard fight they both had together.
Cloud: Don't lose sight of it.
Walking away from the group when he finished speaking, Cloud heard Soejammy speaking to him.
Soejammy: How about a rematch sometime? Fair and square, no dark powers involved. Unless you want to, I don't mind a bit of a challenge~
Cloud stopped walking as he thought for a moment before answering Soejammy's request about a rematch.
Cloud: I think I'll pass.
Slayer: No surprise after how you electrocuted him at the end.
Ignoring Slayer's sarcastic comment, Soejammy just watched Cloud walk away with a smile before turning around to start leaving.
Soejammy: Well, no time to be wasting here, we better get a move on to the next world! I'm calling dibs on flying the ship~!
Saying the last part in a singing voice while leaving the coliseum, it took Donald only a few seconds to go ballistic and chase after Soejammy.
Donald: YOU KEEP AWAY FROM MY SHIP CONTROLS!!
Slayer: This is a normal thing for these two isn't it?
Everyone but Slayer: Correct.
Shaking their heads at the usual chaos over flying the ship, everyone followed after Donald and Soejammy to get onto the ship to go to the next world. As night had reached the world, the fires in the torches were put out for the night as someone was sitting on the ledge of the coliseum room. That person being Chronos.
Chronos: So, even a simpleton like Cloud Strife can't handle a single person, who has had no real training... Only playing VR games that involved, but not moving so much...
Chronos began to get angry as he shouted and vanished quickly. Areas in the entrance field of the world were being destroyed left and right. Boards with registrations were being knocked over, the statue with Hercules' right arm breaking off and even a column was cracked from the ensuing chaos. When Chronos appeared in the field, he was breathing hard. The column that was cracked began to fall as it hit Chronos, but the column suddenly stopped as he turned around to make his hand look like he was chopping something. When the column began to move again, it split in half as it missed Chronos completely.
Maleficent: So, I take it your "recent" plan has failed once again?
Chronos: What do you want, Witch???
Maleficent: Only to point out the fact that this is the THIRD time your plans have failed. It's only luck that this time they had no powers received except for some magic. But what about the other disks you gave? If we use the remaining two disks, there's a chance the boy and girl could get other powers, and that would be even more failures on your part.
Chronos: Let them try to complete the worlds. I made sure to save those two specifically for reasons. One of them will spell certain doom should they discover what world that creates. And trust me on this, they WILL be in a fight for their lives. Make certain of that.
Maleficent: And care to explain the world you talk about??? I grow tired of all these games you play!! You better begin capturing the other Princess of Hearts, or you will surely pay!!!
Chronos: These "games" you speak of, are all elaborate plans that I wish to carry out for myself. You will have your Princesses. But a warning if you will?
Maleficent: Explain it already! I grow tired of this frivolous talk!!
Chronos instantly appeared in front of Maleficent's face, though she was used to the sudden closeness between them.
Chronos: You better watch that boy Riku you have under your castle. He may prove as a valuable ally for us now, but make no mistake that he will certainly be your own demise.
Maleficent looked at Chronos and thought he was crazy.
Maleficent: Hmph. I don't plan to let my guard down. I have plans to make him a VERY useful tool for getting Kingdom Hearts. If anything, he will meet his demise should he face against me.
Chronos: You would think, but you sorely mistaken him to be just a regular kid.
Maleficent: And how would you know??? Quite frankly, I never mentioned Riku to you one bit. So how do you know he is in the castle?
Chronos looked at Maleficent and did not say a word as he turned around and generated a dark portal of his own to walk through, leaving Maleficent with a smirk in gaining some ground against Chronos.
Chapter 7. End.
