Sometime before [[Sora]] and company arrived at the [[Olympus Coliseum]], Cloud struck 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 eliminating 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 defeat 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.

However, Cloud also has to fight [[Sora]], so that he may move on to Hercules in the preliminaries rankings. In the ensuing battle, Sora emerges victorious, or Cloud succeeds in defeating Sora, but refuses to finish the young Keyblade wielder off. Regardless of the outcome, Cloud fails to defeat Sora, and Hades summons [[Cerberus]], who catches Cloud off-guard and pins him to the ground.


At this point, Hercules comes to the rescue, defending the unconscious Cloud. Sora then moves in to finish the battle, giving Hercules the chance to take Cloud to safety.

Cloud, still searching for Sephiroth, can be found in the town center after this. Sora, having just fought Sephiroth, reveals that he is at the [[Dark Depths]], prompting Cloud to go off to settle the score. Upon arriving, Cloud becomes enraged when Sephiroth comments on how Cloud can never let go of his darkness and the two battle. However, Sephiroth claims that defeating him will be futile, for Cloud's darkness will always hold him back. Sephiroth's words begin to drag him into the depths of despair, but Tifa appears to help him. Ignoring Cloud's warning to leave, Tifa retorts that as long as Cloud is surrounded in light, the darkness within him can't be reached by Sephiroth. Tifa attacks Sephiroth as Cloud watches, but when flashes of light blind Cloud, Sephiroth attempts to strike him. However, Cloud successfully parries the attack, and takes a stand between Sephiroth and Tifa. Tifa offers Cloud her light, and though Sephiroth insists that the light doesn't suit Cloud, he begins to glow with a bright light, and the fight resumes. In a final brilliant flash of light, Cloud and Sephiroth rise into the air and vanish.

Although concerned for his whereabouts, Sora explains to Donald and Goofy that he went to fight a great battle. With Cloud's disappearance, Tifa decides that she will continue search for him and gives Sora the [[Fenrir]] [[Keychain]] as thanks for helping.
