Completely ignoring Sora, Cloud confronts Hercules. However, Cloud only manages to wear Hercules down. Hades, no longer having any use for Cloud, fires him and knocks him out. Hades then attempts to kill Hercules on his own now that he is exhausted. However, Sora interferes and defeats the God of the Underworld.

After the battle, Cloud wakes up. He apologizes for his actions. Sora again comforts him, saying that the important memories are never truly gone. Sora also says that even the tiniest thing can help a person remember things they thought they had forgotten. Cloud shows his gratitude for Sora's help by granting him the [[Summon Cards|Cloud card]], making him the only ''Final Fantasy''-character to become a summon. However, he declines Sora's offer of joining them.

In his function as a summon, Cloud is the only summon in ''Chain of Memories'' that wasn't also in ''Kingdom Hearts''.

Cloud's strongest technique is {{nihongo|'''Omnislash'''|超究武神覇斬|Choukyūbushinhazan|lit. "Super-ultimate War-god Commanding Slash"}}. To use it, he says "''Farewell''", then extends his wing and begins flying around the arena while performing heavy slashes on his opponent. In ''Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories'', this is available as a Summon Sleight. In ''Kingdom Hearts II'', Cloud instead uses '''Omnislash ver5''', based on a technique introduced in ''Final Fantasy VII Advent Children''. As with the original technique, Cloud says "''Farewell''" before extending his wing, but this time he circles the entire field while attacking his opponent with multiple sword combos, then lands on the floor, creating an explosion.

Gameplay wise, Cloud is by far the most powerful ally in ''Kingdom Hearts II''; along with being immune to damage, he is able to deal a large amount of damage in a very short amount of time. When using a cheat device to place him in your party, he often single-handedly obliterates even the most dangerous bosses in the game.

In contrary to his journal entry from ''Kingdom Hearts II'', in his original game Cloud never made it into [[finalfantasy:SOLDIER|SOLDIER]], but rather adopted some memories from [[Zack|Zack Fair]], a friend of his who was a real 1st class SOLDIER.

<!-- incorporated into story, can kick the bucket.
*Although they were originally set to appear in ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]'', Leon, Yuffie, Aerith, Cloud, Tifa, and Cid were removed from the game because, according to Nomura, there were too many plot lines already, and it would have gotten confusing.{{fact}}-->
*Cloud is the only Summon originating from ''Final Fantasy'', in sharp contrast to the rest who hail from Disney.
*In ''[[Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories]]'' and ''[[Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories]]'', Cloud is the only Summon who didn't appear in ''[[Kingdom Hearts (game) |Kingdom Hearts]]'' as a summon.
-->
<!-- incorporate into Origin, not needed anymore
*Cloud's journal entry in ''Kingdom Hearts II'' states he is, 'a "[[finalfantasy:SOLDIER|SOLDIER]]"'; however, in ''Final Fantasy VII'', Cloud was never an actual member of SOLDIER, but carried false memories of [[Zack|someone who ''was'']].
-->
*Cloud and [[Selphie]] are the only returning ''Final Fantasy'' characters from ''Kingdom Hearts'' who don't change voice actor in ''Kingdom Hearts II''.
<!-- Shouldn't this be incorporated into the BBS-article somehow? -->
