|ShortSummary= | |ShortSummary=Sora, Donald, and Goofy successfully land in Olympus Coliseum. As they approach the coliseum, they notice a [[Megara|woman]] being attacked by the Heartless. Sora saves the woman, who introduces herself as Meg. Meg reveals that she was on her way to the Underworld to talk to Hades. Despite the trio's protests, Meg continues on. It is not until Hercules intervenes, collapsing, that she stops. Back at the coliseum, the trio learn the real reason behind Hercules's exhaustion: Hades has constantly sent powerful monsters to battle in the coliseum. Not wanting to disappoint his fans or deny his duties as a hero, Hercules continues to fight in each match even though he is exhausted. With Sora offering to switch Hercules places for the next match, Hercules is ordered by Phil to rest. In the Underworld, Hades and Pete plot to turn Hercules into a Heartless. To do so, Hades sends the Hydra to the coliseum. His plans are thwarted, however, by Sora, Donald, and Goofy. Learning of this failure, Hades determines the next course of action: trick Sora into unlocking the Underdrome and then lure Hercules to compete. To do this, Hades and Pete kidnap Meg and seal her in a stone along with the Underdrome's lock. Elsewhere, in The World That Never Was, Demyx is given orders to dispatch to Olympus Coliseum. | ||

|ShortSummary= | |ShortSummary=In the Underworld, Hades summons Auron and makes him a deal: Fight in a battle to the death against Hercules in order to win his freedom. At the coliseum, the group learns of Meg's kidnapping, prompting her immediate rescue. Before Sora leaves, Phil gives him the Olympus Stone, claiming it will protect his life energy as they fight in the Underworld. While the trio chases after Hercules, they run into Demyx, who has been drained of his life energy due to the nature of the Underworld. Sora gives him the Olympus Stone, despite his ties to Organization XIII. In a confusing short exchange, Demyx both thanks and attacks the group, easily subduing Sora due to his weakened state. Demyx returns the Olympus Stone to Sora and leaves, but not before asking "Roxas" to rejoin the Organization. After catching up with Hercules, Sora uses the Keyblade to release Meg from her stone prison- inadvertently unlocking the Underdrome in the process. Hades appears and reveals the next part of his scheme: a new tournament called the Hades Cup. To the victor goes their freedom from the Underworld and the chance to battle Hercules. Furthermore, should Hercules refuse to participate, Hades will dispose of Meg. | ||

|ShortSummary= | |ShortSummary=Pete questions whether the deal previously made between Auron and Hades is enough to warrant Auron's cooperation. Hades reveals that he also created a doll of Auron that can be used to control him. Initially, Sora, Hercules, and Auron successfully move up in their respective bracket's ranks. However, in Sora's match against the Ice Titan, Sora loses, confirming the final match of the tournament: Hercules versus Auron. The match begins, with Sora, Donald, Goofy, and Meg watching from the sidelines. Meg reveals the Auron doll she previously stole from Hades. Fearing the fatigued Hercules will die during the match, Meg forces Hercules to withdraw from the match. He does, prompting Hades to intervene. Hades reclaims the lost doll and uses it to order Auron to attack Hercules and Meg. Auron is forced to comply, but as he swings his sword down, Pete accidentally brakes the doll controlling him. | ||

|ShortSummary= | |ShortSummary=Now free from Hades's control, Auron begins to attack Hades and Pete, claiming they both lied to him. Pete manages to escape, now focused on retrieving the broken doll. Foiled by the trio's efforts, Pete instead refocuses on Hercules. Stalling the trio with a swarm of Heartless, Pete begins to turn Hercules into a Heartless. Despite his attempts, Pete is unsuccessful. He throws Meg off the cliff, into the pool of the undead, believing it will be enough to turn Hercules to the darkness. Hercules immediately dives into the pool after Meg, leaving Pete and Hades to Auron and Sora. The two heroes easily defeat Hades and Pete, tying them together. Not long after, Hercules appears, holding an unconscious Meg. He orders Hades to revive both Meg and Auron, to which Hades eventually complies. As the group heads back to the coliseum, Hades and Pete, still tied together, begin arguing amongst themselves, accidentally throwing themselves off the cliff into the pool of the undead. Back at the coliseum, the group begins their farewells. Hercules vows to fill the coliseum stands, now with renewed energy. Auron bids the trio farewell, saying he will think of them anytime he looks at the stars. As the group looks at the stars, they see constellations of themselves. Back in Hollow Bastion, Pete returns empty-handed to Maleficent's castle.}} | ||
