Auron:
Fight!

(Auron strikes Hades, who stops the sword with his hand, and throws Auron back.

Hades punches Auron to the ground. He conjures two fireballs aiming at the

fallen Auron. Sora runs between them and they dissipate)

Sora:
Get up!

(They try to fight Hades)

Donald:
Something's wrong!

Sora:
I feel kinda funny...

Hades:
That's right! See, that's the thing. In the Underworld, heroes are

zeroes---comes with the territory.

(The two fireballs appear again and Hades charges the group. Auron slices down

with his sword, but Hades teleports in a puff of smoke)

Auron:
Go now!

Sora:
But I've gotta talk to Hades!

Hades (with his fingers in his ears): What was that?

(Sora tries to charge, but Auron stops him. Hades makes fireballs again as

Donald and Goofy run out of the room)

Auron:
We can't fight him here! We have to go---now!

(Auron pulls Sora, who doesn't budge. Auron leaves Sora, who eventually runs as

Hades throws the fireballs at them. They leave the chamber and run down the

stairs. Sora and Goofy close the gates and try to catch their breath)

Donald:
Is he gone?

Auron:
Don't count on it.

Sora:
Huh?

(Hades appears on their side of the door next to Sora)

Hades:
Leaving so soon?

(They hurry to the exit, evading Hades and the Heartless he conjures. When they

reach the Inner Chamber of the Cave of the Dead, they catch their breath)

Sora:
You're really good. Are you some kind of hero?

Auron (shaking his head): No, I'm no hero... I'm just an...

Sora:
Huh?

Auron:
Auron.

(Sora and Goofy look at each other)

Auron:
My name.

Sora:
I'm Sora.

(Donald jumps onto Sora's shoulders)

Donald:
Donald.

(Goofy also jumps onto Sora's shoulders)

Goofy:
Goofy!

(Sora can't hold them up, so they fall in a pile)

Auron:
It seems we were fated to meet. Maybe you need a guardian.

(Sora pushes Donald and Goofy off him)

Sora:
Guardian? Thanks, but no thanks.

(Sora starts to walk to the passageway. Auron slightly chuckles. Pete meets

with Hades)

Pete:
I got Heartless all over the Underworld now. So you can leave those

pipsqueaks to me. Look, pal, you just keep working on turning Hercules into a

Heartless. Then he'll be all mine.

(Hades stops and turns around angrily, turning red)

Hades:
This is my underworld, you idiot!

(Pete jumps back)

Hades:
I'll handle this MYSELF!

(Hades slightly cools down and snaps his fingers. Hades's giant three-headed

dog shows up in the window)

Hades:
Cerberus, go!

(The dog leaves in a hurry. Sora, Donald, Goofy, and Auron run to the entrance

of the Cave of the Dead)

Donald:
What? It's closed!

(Sora, Donald, and Goofy try to push apart the doors)

Sora:
Come on, open!

(Donald looks up and sees a keyhole chained to the door. The Keyblade appears

in Sora's hand)

Auron:
Will that open it?

Sora:
Yeah. I think so.

(Sora starts to point the Keyblade at the lock, when they hear a roar and look

behind them)

Auron:
Hurry!

(Auron readies his sword. Cerberus jumps into the entranceway. Sora unlocks the

door and the keyhole and chains vanish. Donald and Goofy open the doors as

Cerberus runs up to them. Auron stops them by shoving his sword between one of

the dog's teeth. He holds them there, until pulling the sword out and knocking

them away. Sora runs to the door, but turns around and sees Auron fighting

alone)

Donald:
Uh...

(Sora runs back into the fray)

Donald:
Sora wait!

(The dogs roar and Sora and Auron fights them. Cerberus, nearly beaten,

struggles to stand)

Donald:
Come on!

(Sora and Auron run through the gates, which start to close. Sora, Donald, and

Goofy make faces at Cerberus, as it runs to the closing doors. Meg speaks to

Hercules in the Coliseum Foyer)

Meg:
Come on, Wonderboy, play hooky for a day. For old time's sake?

Hercules:
They came to see me. They came to see a hero. I can't let them down.

(Meg sighs, seeing his tired condition)

Hercules:
Don't worry, Meg. I'll be fine. What does a hero need rest for, huh?

(Hercules flexes his biceps and waves goodbye to Megara)

Hercules:
See ya!

(He leaves into the Coliseum to cheering crowds)

Meg:
Sora, don't let me down.

(Sora, Donald, and Goofy stand in the Underworld Entrance)

Sora:
Whew...

Donald:
Huh?

Goofy:
What happened to Auron?

Sora:
He can take care of himself. Let's go find Meg. Then we can try this

again.

(Donald and Goofy nod. Hades sits in his Chamber with Pete, Pain and Panic

watching anxiously)

Hades:
Let me see if I got this right... That brat's Keyblade works on any lock?

Pete:
That's right.

Hades:
Have I ever told you about the killer coliseum we have right here in the

Underworld? It makes the one upstairs look like an Olympic kiddie pool.

Pete:
Then that's the place we're gonna put an end to Herc the Jerk's winnin'

streak.

(Pete pounds his fist on the table making Pain and Panic jump)

Hades:
Problem. Zeus locked it tight.

(Pete looks annoyed. Hades chuckles, and Pete understands)

Hades:
Bingo... All we gotta do is swipe that key...and then reopen the

Underdrome!

Pete:
Hate to tell ya, but that key is kinda particular. It won't work for just

anybody. And that kid ain't no pushover.

(Hades taps a finger on the arm of his chair)

Hades:
I think this calls for a woman's touch.

(He snaps his fingers, and with a puff of smoke, a doll version of Meg appears

in his hand. In the Foyer, Meg feels like she's being watched. Sora, Donald,

and Goofy walk into the Coliseum Gates)

Goofy:
Gawrsh, this sure does bring back memories!

(They walk to the Lobby doors and see a tired Hercules walk out)

Hercules:
Sora! Donald! Goofy! When'd you get here?

Sora:
Hey, Herc!

Donald (waving):
Hi!

Goofy:
Howdy there!

(Hercules walks down the steps closer to them. Meg appears in the doorway)

Hercules:
You on another adventure?

Sora:
Yeah, trackin' down some friends, wipin' out some Heartless.

Hercules:
Junior heroes, always busy!

(Sora and Hercules lock hands)

Sora:
You know it!

(They enter the Coliseum Foyer)

Hercules:
So, did you find those friends of yours?

Sora:
Still working on it. When we got here, we ran into Meg---meg-mega

trouble, I mean! So we had to help somebody out. We tried to go teach Hades a

thing or two...but the Underworld drains away all our strength. Don't suppose

you have any ideas?

Hercules:
Well, there is a stone that guards against the Underworld's curse.

The gods on Mount Olympus use it whenever they have to go down there.

Sora:
Think we could use it?

Hercules:
Sure, why not! I'll go get it for you.

Donald:
Thanks!

Goofy:
Real nice of you!

Hercules:
But Hades is no pushover, even if you've got the Olympus Stone. And I

have a match today, so I can't go with you... Know what you need? Training! Why

don't you go talk to Phil?

Sora:
Hey, good idea!

(They enter the Coliseum and see Phil, who's not looking in their direction)

Phil:
Hey champ, how ya feeling? Better rest up for tomorrow's match. Nobody's

gonna pay to see a worn-out hero...capiche? Remember what I told you. Victory

in the games comes down to two simple words: Eat, bathe, sleep!
