Hades: Difference between revisions

Hades sets up a tournament, hiding that the prize is a "one-way trip to the Underworld." After [[Cloud]] defeats [[Hercules]], Hades attempts to take the hero to Underworld, but is stopped by the player. Angered that he cannot claim a soul, Hades is surprised when Cloud offers to go with him (in the hopes that he can find [[Sephiroth]] down there). However, no sooner do they get there, Cloud takes his leave to find his old enemy, leaving Hades even more angry. The player finds him, with Hades explaining "Spike" left, but decides to recruit the player as his new agent of darkness. He gives the player the task of reaching his chamber alive as a first test. Once the player suceeds, Hades tasks them with clearing out the Heartless in the Underworld. [[Chirithy]] appears to the player in private, asking if they are sure about using the power of darkness.

By this point, Hades has reached his wits' end with the lack of progress with his plans to take over [[Olympus]]; his previous attempts to use warriors like Terra, Cloud and Auron failed repeatedly. Deciding to go back to his original plan, Hades revives the [[Rock Titan]] and [[Ice Titan]], while freeing the [[Tornado Titan]] and [[Lava Titan]] from their prison. Hades attacks Thebes to keep Hercules busy, allowing him to ascend Mount Olympus with the Titans unimpeded. However, to his surprise, Hades hears someone yelling for Hercules and finds that Sora, Donald and Goofy have arrived. After they taunt him about his failures, Hades calls upon the Titans to show them their power, creating a powerful gust that blows them to Thebes. To his annoyance, Maleficent and Pete arrive next; he flatly tells her to go away and keep her Heartless this time, as he is busy. However, Maleficent tells him that she is only there to find out if there is a distinctive [[Black Box|black box]] in his world. Thinking for a moment, Hades thinks they mean Pandora's Box; he tells them that it is buried in the gardens in Thebes.

Hades is next seen calling up his throne to sit on, as the Lava and Ice Titans imprison Zeus in cooled molten rock. However, Hercules, Sora, Donald and Goofy arrive, having bested the Rock Titan on the way up. Hades orders the Titans to attack his foes, who barely manage to damage them; worse, the Rock Titan has returned. However, Hercules manages to free Zeus, whose thunderbolts harm the Titans enough to make them flee. Hercules uses the Tornado Titan to suck up the other three and tosses them out into space, where they explode. Hades attempts to retaliate, but is mocked by Sora, Donald and Goofy; they tell him to go back to the Underworld and have the time of his afterlife. Hercules also tells him the exit is that way before giving him a good punch to the jaw for ruining Thebes. Retreating, Hades threatens to dump Meg in the Styx as payback, but Zeus tosses a thunderbolt at Hades to shut him up.
