Cloud first makes his appearance in the [[Olympus Coliseum]], striking a deal with [[Hades]]: if Cloud eliminates [[Hercules]] in battle, Hades will lead him to his nemesis [[Sephiroth]]. However, Cloud also has to fight [[Sora]], so that he may move on to Hercules in the preliminaries rankings. After their battle, Cloud is either defeated, or comes out victorious, but refrains from killing Sora. The outcome of the fight does not affect the storyline, and the only reward for winning are the 80 experience points rewarded. However, as Cloud does not kill Sora, the results are not favorable for Hades; forcing him to summon [[Cerberus]]. The three-headed beast and guardian of the [[Underworld]] catches Cloud off-guard, pinning him to the ground.

Cloud plays a much more important role in ''Chain of Memories''. It is his plot that runs the course of him being an anti-hero.

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]]. However, he declines Sora's offer of joining them.

{{q|Sorry to keep you, Sephiroth!|Cloud}}
Cloud appears once again in Hollow Bastion, garbed in his Advent Children attire, not to mention replacing the [[finalfantasy:Buster Sword|Buster Sword]] with the [[finalfantasy:Fusion Swords|First Tsurugi]] from ''Final Fantasy VII Advent Children''. He reveals to Sora that he is seeking to defeat his darkness, which is embodied by Sephiroth. He asks Sora to help him, but also warns him that Sephiroth will try and turn Sora to the darkness. During their meeting, Aerith also speaks to him. Not wanting her to follow him, he promises her that no matter how far he goes, he will always come back to Hollow Bastion. Though Aerith initially feels that he doesn't seem to be so sure, she is in the end confident in him.

Cloud also aids the residents of Hollow Bastion in defending against the [[Battle of the 1000 Heartless|Heartless invasion]]. He and [[Leon]] are seen at the [[Ravine Trail]], back to back with their swords raised as Heartless surround them. The two banter playfully back and forth, then proceed to fend off the Heartless.

Goofy asks where Cloud went, and Sora explains that he went to fight a great battle. When Sora asks Tifa what she will do now, she says that she will just have to keep looking and that light is easy to find. Tifa then gives Sora the [[Fenrir]] [[Keychain]] as thanks for helping.

===''[[Kingdom Hearts coded]]''===
Cloud has been shown to travel and battle Heartless with Sora and Hercules, making ''[[Kingdom Hearts coded]]'' his party member debut. He makes a deal with Hades about visiting other worlds with the Secret of Heroes. He wants to break away from his past and his powerlessness after he takes care of Hercules and [[Data Sora]]. It seems the reason he bargained with Data Hades is so he could become stronger to protect someone. He learned from Sora and Hercules that his true strength comes from his heart when he protects someone; for example blocking one of Data Hades's fireball that is about to hit Sora, and Hercules.
