Lulu: *drags Jackson into KHInsider* Sorry readers, Jackson has been too busy with WoW.
Jackson: Wheee.....I just killed a chicken!
Lulu: "Jackson!" *Cast thunder on him*
Jackson: *sighs* Fine..... I guess I'll write an update.....
Chapter 9: Trip to the Underworld
Jackson had given the wheel to Jim for the moment as he stared into space. "I wonder what Organization XIII is?"
Lulu smiled. "Don't worry, we'll probably figure it out...."
Jim called from the captains seat. "World ahead!"
Jackson leapt to find the map showing a world known as Olympus Coliseum. "To LAND!" he called out. The ship landed in front of a pile of rubble. Jackson groaned. "This place is a mess! This is suppose to be the coliseum?"
"That's what it is, kid." Jackson looked down to see a small man with a goat's half. "I'm Phil, and I own this coliseum. Ever since that Hydra though, this place has been nothin but a pile of rubble." He stared at him. "Even if it was open, I don't think you would have what it would take."
"Oh really, Goat man!" Jackson squatted to see the man face to face. "I guess we'll have to prove ourselves."
"Watch it, bud! I'm a Satyr, not a goat man."
Jim stared at the little guy. "He does look like a goat man...."
Phil began to fume. "Hey......I been training heroes since before you were born....."
Lulu bowed. "Sorry. My friends have seemed to forgot their manners. What do we need to do to prove we're heroes?"
Phil calmed. "My friend Herc went to the Underworld not to long ago to overview it while Hades is gone. Can you check on him? You take the path in your right once you get down those stairs." He pointed to a group of downward stairs.
"No Problem!" Jackson grinned. "Goat man!"
"I'M A SATYR!"
Jackson laughed. "Sure...."
Following the satyr's instructions, they followed a long, winding road, killing the Tornado Steps, Large Bodies and other Heartless that got in their way. Finally, they reached what looked to be a huge home, shaped like a skull.
"Hello!!!" Jackson walked into the home first.
"Who are you?" A very clear and deep voice called to him from the shadows.
"I'm Jackson. Who are you.?"
The first walked from the shadows. He was a semi-young figure, with black hair and a small growing beard. He was wearing a large red coat, his arm slung in his coat. "I don't know if I should tell you. You seem nice...."
Lulu and Jim walked in. Lulu gasped. "Sir Auron!"
Auron smiled as he realized who was with Jackson. "Hello Lulu. It's been a while."
Jim whispered to Jackson. "Who is that?"
Lulu turned. "That is Sir Auron. He helped Lady Yuna face the evil of Sin. After the battle, we found out that he was unsent and Yuna released his spirit."
Auron pointed to the shadows. "Do you know who this is? When he found that I had been revived by Hades, he got quite angry."
The other walked from the shadows. He swished his long blond hair back. "I apologized. The name's Cloud. I landed here on my search for Sepheroth, but not finding him, I decided to check in on my old boss......"
Auron smiled. "Hades brought me back to life to help him face Hercules too, but thanks to Sora...."
"WAIT!" Jackson called. "Sora was here? That means we're on the right track."
Jim grinned. "Another point for the goof..."
Jackson grinned. "Well, lets find Hercules." They all walked out of the structure.
"Not so fast, kid." Jackson turned to see a light blue man, his hair composed of blue flames. "Hi, I'm Hades, Lord of the Dead, Nice to meet you. I heard you're looking for Herc. Well..." With a snap of his fingers, a large cage appeared over hanging a large lake. Inside was a buff man of a golden glow. "He's with me. If you want him back, you will surrender Auron's and Cloud's free will to me!"
"No way!" Jackson yelled.
"Fine." He whistled. A huge 3-headed dog lunged in from the building top. "Cerberus! Attack!"
The dog charged, heading directly for them. Jackson quickly dodged with Auron to one side while Lulu, Jim and Cloud on the other. Jackson called his keyblade and it instantly glew, turning into the Guardian Soul. "Take this!" Jackson and Auron began to slash the pup's legs.
Jim unsheathe his sword. "Allow me to help." He nailed another leg and Cloud the last.
Hades began to cast Fire balls and threw them at the guys. "You...will... surrender.. their... will....or....."
Lulu snuck up behind him and nailed his head with a Blizzard spell, putting out his hair.
Hades gasped. "Did my hair just go out?" He turned. "You will PAY!" He turned red and began to charge at her.
Cerberus cried out in pain as it fell to the floor. Jackson cast an Blizzard spell at Hades. "Leave her alone!" The ice simply bounced off him. "Wha....?"
Hades roared as he created a flaming explosion. "YOU SHALL PAY!!!!!!"
Hades roared and hit each of them with a fireball, burning them. "Now, feel the rage of the UNDERWORLD!" From the nearby lake, thousands of sprints rose and fell on top of the heros in a wave.
Cloud repealed them with his sword. "You're not that tough, Hades."
Jackson began to glow. "Take this, God of the underworld!" He shot a blast of Fire at him.
Hades laughed as he stepped to the side and it flew past him. "Are you a FOOL?! What will that do?"
Jackson grinned. "Get us a little more help."
Hades gasped as the fireball hit the container Hercules was in, shattering it. Hercules jumped out and grinned. "Now you're gonna get it." He taunted.
Hades roared. "I must defeat you!" He charged at the hero.
Herc turned to Jackson and produced a light orb. "Could you launch this?"
Jackson nodded as he nailed it. It flew at high speed and nailed Hades. Hades roared in pain and dimmed down to blue. "I guess he doesn't like the light."
Herc yelled. "Quick! Attack!"
Aaron, Cloud, and Jim ran up and nailed Hades with their swords.
Hades roared in anger as he ran into his home. "I give! I give! But mind you, next time, I will beat you Hercules!" A black orb arose form Cerberus and floated up to Jackson's blade.
*Jackson learned Demira*
Hercules grinned. "Well, thank you all for freeing me. I was in quite a pickle."
"No prob." said Jackson, dismissing his blade.
Jim smiled. "So, I guess we need to go tell that goat man Herc is okay..."
Herc gasped. "Oh no, Phil! In all this excitement, I forgot he still needs my help fixing up the Coliseum." He began to run.
"Wait!" Jackson called. "Why were you down here?"
"Trying to find a new spot for this..." Herc ran back and handed Jackson a stone. "This is part of a stone that Sora helped me recover."
All of a sudden the stone began to float and the world went black. Jackson's key reappeared and Jackson used it on the new keyhole.
Jim gasped. "Hey, where'd that Cloud guy go?"
"I beat he gone back to searching for Sepheroth." Jackson sighed. "Speaking of searching, we better go find Sora."
They all walked out to the sunlight of the coliseum.
"Well it's time to go." Jackson sighed. "What are you going to do, Sir Auron?"
Auron sighed. "As long as I'm here, I'm going to help Hercules fix this place." He began to head towards Phil. "I hope you find him..."
Lulu sighed. "Auron...."
Auron turned. "Lulu, my story is over. It is time that you help Jackson forge a new journey. If you find Lady Yuna, tell her to stay strong."
Lulu sighed. "I will...."
Jackson, Jim, and Lulu entered the gummi ship.
"Good Luck!" Hercules called.
The ship blasted off into the air. From the back bumper, a strange light glew......
Jackson: Wheee.....I just killed a chicken!
Lulu: "Jackson!" *Cast thunder on him*
Jackson: *sighs* Fine..... I guess I'll write an update.....
