Chapter 4: Olympus Coliseum
Two seagulls were flying over the ocean towards a massive castle, surrounded by houses and windmills. They flew near buildings and dove back near the water again. In the water, there were fish swimming, causing ripples on the surface. The seagulls returned to the sky, soaring around where shimmering gondolas hung. These connected every massive castle in the area.
Long ago, after the fall of Daybreak Town, the surviving Dandelions joined together to continue their training on their sister world, Scala Ad Caelum. No one knows who made this place, or how long it's been here. However, this was originally a safe haven for Keyblade wielders before the war. Now, only a few hundred are allowed here. Among them, were two students.
One had black hair tied into a short, high topknot, with several bangs falling off to the right side of his face. He is dressed in a white and red lined haori that has a hood, along with (a slightly shorter than normal) light-colored hakama.
The other boy had mildly tanned skin and silver hair hanging down onto his shoulders. He wore a black vest with a high collar, long armbands which cover his forearms, and dark grey pants stuffed into his boots.
Silver-Haired Boy: Have you heard of the ancient Keyblade War?
Black-Haired Boy: Huh? Of course I have.
Silver-Haired Boy: Long ago, (knocked out his friend's white pawn) Keyblade Wielders waged a war over ownership of light.
Black-Haired Boy: Yeah, (made his move) the Master's favorite story.
Silver-Haired Boy: I wonder what they planned on doing with Kingdom Hearts after... making it appear.
Black-Haired Boy: Who knows? I don't get why anyone would initiate a war.
Silver-Haired Boy: (collecting more white pieces) So... you know the "Lost Masters"?
Black-Haired Boy: Who?
Silver-Haired Boy: They're the ones who started the Keyblade War.
Black-Haired Boy: Never heard of 'em. (moved his white piece he had and took another black piece) Where'd you hear about that?
Silver-Haired Boy: Or... (took another white piece) they're the ones for whom the war started.
Black-Haired Boy: I'm not following you. (took another white piece)
Silver-Haired Boy: You can drop the facade.
Black-Haired Boy: Facade?
Silver-Haired Boy: "On that land shall darkness prevail and light expire." A prospective Keyblade Master should know this.
Black-Haired Boy: If you say so.
The silver-haired boy gazed upwards and saw a Keyblade hanging on a mural. It had a dark black handle with a raised spiral carved around it. Its pommel and guard resemble black, demonic wings. The base of the blade is an etching of a goat, and the shaft is formed from two black, barbed blades, carved in it as a white icon resembling a bramble of thorns. The teeth are formed in the shape of a demonic wing and set with a blue eye. The Keychain is made of small, grey links, and the token is an entangled, grey talisman with an additional blue eye.
Silver-Haired Boy: The Gazing Eye sees the fate of the World. The future-it's already been written.
Black-Haired Boy: Really? I'm not so sure about that. Besides, who's to say I can't change it? And maybe light will prevail. (grabbed his white piece and took down another black piece)
Silver-Haired Boy: (chuckles) Pretty confident. But things aren't in your favor. (moved his black piece and took another white piece)
Black-Haired Boy: Perhaps. But unlike darkness, there is more to light than meets the eye.
The black-haired boy took another black piece. He then looked up towards his friend with a new fire beginning in him.
Black-Haired Boy: You might be surprised.
The silver-haired boy could tell something was brewing, meeting his friend's eyes over the chessboard.
Silver-Haired Boy: Oh, I hope so.
(present time)
Narrator: At long last, the time had come. The planets were edging into perfect alignment... and the plan Hades devised eighteen years ago was about to reach fruition. The Fates had predicted this very future-the day he would seize control of Olympus and rule over all the cosmos. Hades' previous attempts-using Terra, Cloud, and Auron to advance his plans for conquest had failed. The hour was not yet right. But now, the planets were aligned and nothing could possibly go wrong. A wave of darkness lanced down from their celestial rank, and one by one, Hades freed the Titans from their prison-some of them the same monstrosities that Sora and his friends had already fought and bested before.
With both the Titans and his longing for vengeance against Zeus reinvigorated, Hades began his attack on Olympus.
(Olympus Coliseum)
The new team arrived in an area with a giant mountain. They were to meet up with the trio's friend, Hercules, but they arrived at a different part of the world than usual.
Sora: Huh? Uhh... (looks at the others) No fanfare? (mimics a trumpet)
Donald: (listens but hears no music) Un-uh...
Lucy: Are we even in the Coliseum?
Laxus: Doesn't look like it.
Goofy: (looks around) Nope, looks like we missed the Coliseum.
Happy: So where are we?
Donald: (glares at Sora) Sora, you opened the gate!
Wendy: Come down, Donald.
Sora: (chuckles) Guess I was a little off again. Sorry! We'll find him. But we need to go!
Erza: He's right. But, where do we start?
Sora then began to walk towards the mountain.
Lucy: Wait... we're gonna climb up that mountain?
Sora: (turns around) Yeah. "Up" is the usual direction.
Natsu: I like the way you think, Sora. Let's go, Happy! (run towards the cliffs)
Happy: (follows Natsu) Aye sir!
Goofy: Well, never hurts to have your head in the clouds.
Sora: Exactly!
The group follows while Donald and Lucy groan a little bit together.
Sora: Hey, we're leaving!
Donald and Lucy panicked and ran after the group. As they exit the cave, the group are ambushed by Shadows, Soldiers, Large Bodies, Air Solders, and Earth Core Heartless.
Gray: I guess this is the welcoming committee
Lucy: Here we go! (took one of her golden keys) Star Dress: Virgo Mode!
Lucy's regular clothes disappeared and new clothes appeared on her. She wore a maid outfit with Virgo's symbol on her right shoulder.
Sora looked at her with a blush on his face.
Sora: (blush) A maid outfit? You can use the same magic as Erza?
Lucy: (smile) It's actually a little different. When I summon a Celestial Spirit, I can use some of their magic myself. But this means I'm able to jump into the fight as well.
Sora: (scratch his blushing cheek) Well... You look very cute.
Lucy: (blush) Ummm... thanks for that Sora.
Happy: (cheeky) You looooooove him.
Lucy: (annoyed while blushing) Cut it out.
Erza: Requip: Morning Star!
Erza requipped into her Morning Star armor.
Natsu: Fire Dragon Roar!
Natsu releases a large quantity of flames from his mouth at the Soldiers which burnt them to ash.
Gray: Ice-Make: Lance!
Gray creates ice lances at the Air Soldiers as they get destroyed or pierce through.
Laxus: Lighting Dragon Claw!
Laxus's body surged with lightning as he leapt at an Earth Core at lightning-fast speed and swung his leg at the Heartless, destroying it with a lightning-coated leg.
A few Earth Cores burrow underneath the ground and form into a tower made of sand. Panther Lily slid under the Earth Core Tower and slashed through with his Buster Arm, cutting it like a tree, before it dissipated.
Lucy dug and disappeared into the ground and reappeared underneath the Shadows that blended with the ground.
Erza: Morning Star: Photon Slicer!
Erza fired a powerful energy blast from her dual swords at the Large Bodies which blasted them into nothing. Laxus unleashes his lightning at two Large Bodies which electrocuted them.
Wendy: Sky Dragon Roar!
Juvia: Water Nebula!
Wendy had unleashed her breath attack at the same time Juvia shot a cyclone of water. Wendy and Juvia used a Unison Raid of wind and water on the Air Soldiers which destroyed them.
Gajeel: Iron Dragon Lance: Demon Logs!
Gajeel's left arm turned into a metallic spear and began to rapidly shoot spikes of green energy like a machine gun straight through the Shadows.
After that Panther Lily, Goofy, Donald, and Sora finished the last group of Large Bodies with their weapons.
Gajeel: Heh heh! That was a good warm-up!
Lily: So that's how the Heartless function.
They then walked to a mountain wall.
Lucy: (look at the mountain wall) How are we going to get up?
Sora backed up, ran straight up the wall, and ran up to the top.
Gray: Did he just run up the wall?
Juvia: (blush) My Darling is so incredible~!
Sora: Come on! You try it!
The group then repeated his idea, made it to the top, and kept on going until they reached a cliff.
Goofy: I think we might be goin' in circles'.
Carla: You mean you don't know where we're going?
Sora: Well, we've only been in the Coliseum and the Underworld.
Laxus: And you haven't been anywhere else other than those two?
Sora: (shake the back of his head) Unfortunately. Sorry.
Lucy: Don't worry, it's not your fault.
Natsu: But, what do we do now?
Juvia: (puts Sora's arm between her breasts) Darling~! How about we go on a romantic date?
Sora: (blush) A date?! Here and now?!
Juvia: (blush) Yes, after all this place is romantic. So shall we~?
Lucy, Erza, and Wendy got jealous after hearing that.
Sora: (blush) Umm... maybe later, Juvia. For now, I need to try something.
Juvia: (curious) Try something? (blush) Darling~! You move so fast!
Sora: What? No, I didn't mean it like that. (walks over to the cliff) Hey, Hercules! WHERE ARE YOU?!?!
They only received silence. Suddenly, a puff of black smoke floated down to them. When it landed, it was revealed to the Lord of the Underworld himself, Hades.
They only received silence. Suddenly, a puff of black smoke floated down to them. When it landed, it was revealed to the Lord of the Underworld himself, Hades.
Hades: All right. I know I dotted my I's, crossed my T's, zeroed the hero. So what gives? Who could possibly be trying to give me a migraine by yodeling that yutz's name? (notices the group)
Wendy: Who's that?
Sora: (sighs) Really? Hades?
Hades: (sighs) Oh, it's just you. Oy vey.
Sora: (annoyed) It's just us? Even for you that's cold.
Hades: Don't forget...I can always turn up the heat!
Goofy: Wait. If Hades is here, then where's Herc?
Hades: What is everyone's infatuation with that dolt?! (turns red)
Natsu: (laughs) This guy is hilarious! He has fire coming out of his hair!
Lucy: (scared) That's not normal, Natsu!
Hades: And who are these guys?!
Natsu: (starts eating Hades' hair) Hey, your fiery hair tastes delicious!
Hades: (tries to push him off) Get off of me!
Lucy grabbed Natsu and pulled him away from Hades who still looked furious.
Hades: (goes back to blue) You know what? Never mind, never mind. I'm cool, I'm good. Because, Wonderboy'll be outta my hair soon enough.
Sora: (summon his Keyblade) So you're up to no good again!
Donald, and Goofy summoned their weapons as well while the Fairy Tail wizards got into fighting positions.
Goofy: Of course he is.
Donald: You bet!.
Erza: Facing the members of Fairy Tail is a grave mistake.
Natsu: (puts his fist into his palm) This'll be fun!
Hades: (turns around to face them) Whoa, easy—what is this, Sparta? Kind of on a schedule. Don't have time to toss around the old fire and brimstone. (turns around again) The whole cosmos is basically waiting for me to, you know, conquer it! (walks away)
Sora: (everyone dismisses weapons) Poor Hades. He thinks he can actually pull it off this time.
Laxus: Don't get too cocky. You never know what this guy has up his sleeve.
Hades: (wave his hands) Where are my Titans?! SHOW ME YOUR POWER!!!
The clouds in the sky began to darken.
Gray: Is the sky darkening?
Lucy: It was broad daylight a few minutes ago.
Just then, a powerful earthquake occurs.
Carla: An earthquake?!
Then an icy cold mist appears as well as a powerful gust of wind. A volcano at the top of the mountain began to erupt, with lava beginning to flow down the mountain.
Happy: (shocked) What's going on?!
Lily: The weather has gone crazy!
Hades: Ahh! Love the breeze.
The gust of wind was so strong that it sent the group flying off the mountain edge.
Hades: (stroke his chin) Ahh. That sent 'em sailing. (frowns for a moment) Sailing right to where I left... Eh, no biggie. (looks back at his Titans) Nice work, boys! So, back to the whole cosmic coup thing?
Satisfied, Hades sends the Titans back and he is about to take his leave, when he hears a Corridor of Darkness open.
Hades: Ugh. Really? Are you kidding me? Geez Louise. Seriously, when it rains, it pours. (turns around) Okay, who's the new pest?
Pete: (enters with Maleficent) Hey, now, that ain't no way to say hello, 'specially to your old friends.
Hades: Oh, perfect. Now I gotta put up with you two. Funny, I don't remember you doing me any memorable favors. So, you can keep your Heartless this time. I'm going back to my original plan. All right? So...toodle-oo! (points to his right) Exit's thataway. Hey, it was great seein'ya! (sings a bit) Happy traaails!
Maleficent: We are not here for you. I have my own business to attend to. All I need to know is if there is a distinctive...black box...somewhere in this world?
Hades: Black box, huh? Hmm... black box, black box, black box... (thinks of something) Wait. Don't tell me... you're after the one Zeus hid on earth?
Maleficent: (a cruel smile appears on her face) Possibly. If I were, where might it be?
(at Thebes)
The group was sent flying towards the city which was currently under attack. Meanwhile, a muscular man was standing near some buildings when he heard some people screaming.
He turned around and saw the group flying towards him. The man grabbed Sora and Goofy while the rest landed on their feet with Sora catching Lucy and Wendy by his arms.
Lucy and Wendy: Thank you!
Sora: You're welcome! (look at the man) See? Found him!
Goofy: Yeah, I guess this counts.
Donald: Get me down!
Everyone turned around and saw Donald with his jacket hanging on the sharp teeth of a lion statue, struggling to get down.
Man: Just a second!
Donald crosses his arms annoyed.
Tick-Tock, Tick-Tock.
Happy: And then!
After getting Donald out of the lion statue, the trio started their reunion with the man known as Hercules.
Hercules: You guys are here! Sora! Donald! Goofy! You literally dropped in. Gotta say, I'm impressed.
Donald: Thanks!
Goofy: Liked the catch!
Sora: Yeah, thanks Herc.
Hercules: (notices the Fairy Tail members) But who are they?
Sora: Oh, yeah. Hercules, they're a group of friends that are travelling with us now. Natsu Dragneel, Lucy Heartfilia, Happy, Gray Fullbuster, Erza Scarlet, Wendy Marvell, Carla, Juvia Lockser, Gajeel Redfox, Panther Lily, and Laxus Dreyar.
Erza: (bow her head) Greetings.
Natsu: Wow! You look so awesome! Do you want to fight?!
Lucy: (sweat drop) Seriously? That's the one thing you ask someone when you meet them?
Happy: That's Natsu for ya!
Hercules: I would love to but now's not a great time.
Sora: (looks around) Yeah, what's going on?
Hercules' smile vanished. He pointed at all of the buildings that were on fire and everything that was falling apart.
Hercules: (sigh) Take a guess. Starts with an H.
Sora: Ah, I get the picture. Actually, we bumped into the H-ster on the way here.
Goofy: He said somethin' about conquerin' the whole cosmos.
Hercules: All of it, huh? Nice of him to show a little self-restraint. Well, whatever he's planning, I'll send him running back across the Styx.
Sora: (chuckles) That's our Herc!
Laxus: Before we do that, we should at least do some clean-up around here.
Erza: He's right, let's go.
They're now walking down the street and catching up.
Hercules: So Sora, is there a reason you guys are visiting? I'm guessing it's not just for the cheese and olives.
cheese and olives.
Sora: (realised and slammed his fist into his palm) Oh yeah!
Goofy: It sounds like somebody forgot.
Donald: That's Sora.
Sora: Hey! I just...took my time remembering.
Happy: Wow, Sora's just as forgetful as Natsu.
Natsu: Don't drag me into this!
Sora: Anyway. (turns to Hercules)
Herc, I came here so I could ask you something.
Hercules: (confused) Ask me?
Sora: (nod his head) Yeah. Do you remember the last time we were together? You were feeling down and out. How'd you get your strength back-when you jumped in and saved Meg?
Hercules: (thought for a moment) Hmm... that's tough. All I know is that she was in trouble. Suddenly, I wanted to save her with all my heart, but... it's not like I could tell you how.
Sora: (looks down) Oh, man.
Hercules: What's wrong?
Sora: All my strength is gone from me too. That's why I need you—because I was hoping you might have a solution, or something.
Hercules: I'm sorry, Sora.
Everyone but Fairy Tail sighed.
Natsu: Don't worry about it! It will come back eventually.
Erza: Yes. We believe that will happen.
Lucy came over and grasp his hands with hers and looked directly at his face with a smile.
Lucy: (smile) It's alright, Sora. We'll help you find a way to regain your strength. I promise.
Sora: Lucy.... (smiles at her) Thanks. I really appreciate it.
Lucy: (smile) Of course. What are friends for?
Suddenly, fire balls started coming down from the sky crashing down in the town square, destroying a statue of Hercules.
When they landed, they were revealed to be Flame Core Heartless.
Donald: Heartless!
Hercules: Let's talk later!
Sora: Right...once we've dealt with these guys.
Gray: Leave these types of Heartless to us! (He and Juvia walked towards the Heartless)
Natsu: (annoyed) That's not fair! I want a piece of the action!
Erza: (puts her arm in front of him) Leave them, Natsu. Besides, these Heartless are resistant to fire. Everyone else, put out the fire!
Gray, Juvia, Sora, Donald, Goofy, and Hercules charged at the enemy while the rest of Fairy Tail went to burning sections of the plaza.
Gray: Ice-Make: Lance!
Gray unleashes a volley of ice lances that blasted from his hands.
Juvia: Water Slicer!
Juvia sent a series of water blades as the water and ice combined and took out dozens of Heartless. Hercules was punching and throwing slabs of rocks at the Heartless. Hercules was punching and throwing slabs of rocks at the Heartless.
Goofy: Here Sora!
Sora ran towards Goofy who squatted down as Sora jumped on his shield. Goofy launched both of them into the air. Sora then grabbed Goofy's hand, swung him, and thrown him at the Heartless, defeating a ton of them.
Donald: I think that the last of them.
When they are finished with the Heartless and the fires, Hercules sees Meg and Phil riding Pegasus and landing down to them.
Meg: Hercules! (gets off Pegasus) You're ok!
Hercules: Meg!
Meg: (looks around) Boy, that didn't look so fun.
Hercules: No, not with the Heartless involved. We're just lucky our friends showed up.
Meg: (looks at them) Well, whaddaya know? Sora, Donald, Goofy, guest I owe you a big thank you. So, who are they?
Sora: These are our new friends: Fairy Tail. They are helping us take down the Heartless.
Meg: Well, thank you for helping Wonderboy.
Phil: (walk towards Lucy, Erza, and Juvia) Well hello, sweeties. It's way dangerous out here, I'll take care of it for you.
Lucy: Uh, it's nice to meet you.
Juvia: It's nice to say that, but we can handle ourselves. Also, I have my sweet Sora.
Phil: (looks at Erza) What about you? After I protect you we can go out and-
Erza then punched Phil in the face as his head was knocked into the ground.
Erza: You should train instead of looking for a girl.
Phil then pulled his head out of the ground.
Phil: I never seen someone like you before. You are one strong woman!
Hercules: Meg, you need to stay someplace safe. We'll search the city and make sure everyone manages to get clear of the fire.
Meg: Be careful, Wonderboy.
Hercules: (smiles) I will. (turns to the others) So, you guys in?
Sora and Natsu: Of course we're in!
Donald: We're heroes!
Goofy: Mm-hmm!
Meg: Break a leg then...heroes (the group salute)
Hercules: Phil, you should go with Meg.
Phil nodded. He hopped on the pegasis with Meg and they flew off into the sky.
???: Heeelp! Is anyone theeere?
Natsu: Hey! I hear someone!
Hercules: From which way?
Natsu: (sniff) Over there!
He pointed towards a girl standing on top of a pile of rubble that is about to collapse.
Girl: Help meee!
Hercules: Oh no! There's a little girl caught in the fire!
Sora: (runs toward the rubble) Let's go!
Hercules: Wait. Running's too slow!
Sora: (stops) Then what's the other choice?
Hercules looked around and stopped at his fallen statue.
Hercules: (points the statue) Get on that.
Sora, Donald, Goofy, and Fairy Tail got on the statue.
Lucy: (nervous) Is it safe?
Wendy: I hope so.
Sora: Like this?
Hercules: That's good. Now hold on tight!
Hercules then started to lift up the statue everyone was on.
Natsu: (felt sick) Oh man, it's moving!
Gajeel, Wendy and Laxus were about to get sick as well.
Lucy: (scared) I don't like this.
Sora: Wh-wha-whoooa! Herc, m-maybe we should...I don't think this is a good idea!
Gajeel: Me, Laxus, and Lily are getting off this thing to help the big guy. You go on ahead!
Gajeel, Laxus, and Lily jumped off the statue.
Erza: Be careful.
Natsu: (trying to get off) W-wait f-for m-me.
But it was too late as Hercules threw the statue.
Sora and Lucy: Oh no! NOT AGAAAAAAIN!!!!
