Back to the Coliseum

They were sitting or standing in the case of John it was laying since it was either laying inside or standing outside.

Sora was spectating his new Keyblade when Nesiara took out a gem and a keychain she received from Merlin and the Fairy Godmother while saying, "Merlin gave me this keychain for you. He thought it would be useful for his little magic apprentice to have it. The Fairy Godmother released the spirit inside those two gems."

Sora took the gems first and concentrated on them making a lion and a little red lizard appear in their midst when Nesiara says, "This is Simba and the other is Mushu."

"The Family Guardian of the Fa Family Mushu, at your service," says Mushu introducing himself to them.

"I am simply Simba," says Simba not really that much into titles since his father died and he ran away.

Sora presented everyone to the two when Sora took the keychain which had a little book attached to it, making another Keyblade appear in Sora's hands.

It was blue and gave off an aura of magic, making it clear that it would be helping Sora control his spells better.

"I still am surprised how easy it is for a Keyblade Master to obtain Keyblades," says Leon as John looked at him.

"Have you seen it before?" asks John as Leon nods.

"Yes, some of the Crownguards were Keyblade Masters after all. I had a friend his name is Lea. He was one of them but we lost him before we lost our world," says Leon as John opened his eyes wide in shock.

He was thinking that the missing descendant was either Terra or Aqua forgetting that there was someone that even resembled a Crownguard a lot more.

Nesiara saw John's expression before asking Leon, "Was that Lea a Keyblade Master?"

"No, he was from a branch of the family that wasn't looked upon too well by the other Crownguards," says Leon as John lifts his upper body up.

"He is a descendant of a bastard?" asks John as Leon nods.

"Yes," says Leon as John seemed sad that the family split up because of something like that.

'You think he is the other descendant except for Kairi?' asks Nesiara telepathically as John nods.

'How far have you read the books?' asks John making Nesiara sigh.

'I have to start from the beginning again. I skipped many chapters that I thought were irrelevant which included Sora meeting Riku,' says Nesiara as John smiled at her.

'You and your archenemy fighting it out again,' says John as he turned to Leon.

"But did he at least train in wielding one?" asks John curious as Leon shakes his head.

"No, he was walking on a different path in which he became a student of Ansem the White. He was a pillar of our world and a well-respected scientist. He was studying hearts until an accident happened and the Heartless flooded our world," says Leon explaining what happened.

"And you can't bring back your world?" asks Sora as he felt sad for Leon and the others.

"There is a way, Sora," says John as Sora turned towards him.

"You need to close the keyholes of every world we travel to and before you know it we will bring every world back," says John roughly explaining how to bring the worlds back.

"Then let us do that," says Sora with hope to see his island again when he remembered something.

"What about Riku?" asks Sora looking at Nesiara.

"I couldn't find him. I followed his trail into an alley with a dead-end but he wasn't there as if he was taken away by someone or something," says Nesiara feeling sorry for Sora for finding only to lose him again.

"We will meet him again. I am sure about that and Kairi as well," says Sora with a smile as nothing could bring him down.

"Well spoken, we should rest for today and leave tomorrow in the morning," says John as the trio had a long fight behind them.

In the meantime in Hollow Bastion, Maleficent was nervous about the man that attacked her as she was walking up and down the hall thinking about who that man was.

"Where can I find Kairi?" asks Riku as he was only helping her because she promised to find Kairi and Sora.

In his eyes, Sora seemed to have forgotten them as he made new friends and Kairi was his number one priority at the moment since she is defenseless.

"I have my friends looking for her, boy. When they find her, we will be the first to know about it. But until then you should learn how to fight with your new strength," says Maleficent as she hit the ground with her staff making Darkness engulf Riku.

"That man is dangerous. I need to find protection against him," says Maleficent nervous to herself.

In the meantime in the Final World, Leon was sitting in front of some lights that were shining bright when a Chirithy appears beside him.

"You are back to see your friends and family," says Chirithy as Leon turns to it.

"I have Theo. I like to tell them about what is going on outside the Final World," says Leon as he looked at the brightest of the lights.

"She will never fade away," says Theo as he was Leon's Chirithy.

"No, she is the strongest of them all even stronger than me," says Leon as they were talking about the light in his life.

"Lux was the most caring Keyblade Master of them all," says Theo as he sits down beside Leon.

"I almost had the one who killed our descendants in Radiant Garden," says Leon talking to the brightest light.

"I also lost control of myself and gave in to my rage revealing my presence to my parents. I still don't want to face them until I have to reveal myself and claim my original Keyblade," says Leon still talking to Lux.

"You are still too hard on yourself," says Theo as he served Leon since Jack created him to be Leon's partner.

"I should return to Quadratum. It soon will fall into chaos because of the summon of Kingdom Hearts," says Leon as he stood up and pets Theo's head.

"Look after them for me," says Leon as Theo nods.

"Always," says Theo as it was his duty to look after those lights.

Leon opened a portal and a feminine voice says, "Good Luck."

Leon smiles as he enters the portal knowing that Lux could still hear and talk to him. He appears in Quadratum and was seeing the night sky full of stars.

The next morning in Traverse Town, the group was ready to leave Traverse Town as Sora asks, "Can't we go to the Coliseum first? Maybe Phil is already done with the tournament he wanted to organize."

"We could go since you can be right," says Nesiara as she looked at John who nods.

"It would be a good training for you," says John as they walked towards their ship.

"Maybe you also get a price from winning in the tournament," says Nesiara with a smile to motivate the three.

They enter the ship and once everyone was on their seat Sora clicked on Olympus and the ship flew in the direction of that world.

Once there they found banners hanging around announcing the Phil Cup and Nesiara says, "It seems Phil works fast. He only needed four days to put it together."

"Yes, but the tournament will begin in three days. That means we have three days to train them," says John as the trio looked nervous.

John eyed Sora while Nesiara eyed the other two when Sora says, "Shouldn't we registered ourselves so they know that we will participate?"

"You should and we will need the ring to train you anyway," says John as they needed to inform Phil to use the Coliseum to train the trio anyway.

"Let us enter and see where it will lead us," says Nesiara with a smile as they entered.

They find Phil and Hercules inside the Coliseum as Phil was advising Hercules and overwatching his training.

"Hercules, Phil, we are back," says Sora happy as both see the group and stopped what they were doing.

"Are you back to participate in the tournament?" asks Phil as Sora nods his head.

"Yes, it would be a good training for them," says John as Phil knows what John wants to say with that.

"You will have to wait for three more days before it starts. How about you train here until then so you don't miss the tournament," says Phil as John agrees with him.

"That would be great. I want to teach Sora a new move," says John as he brought out a Keyblade made out of wood.

"A new move?" asks Sora excited since John only trained him in the basics of everything but he didn't teach Sora one of his moves but let him experiment.

"Yes, it is one that Cloud created," says John as he gave the wooden Keyblade to Sora while saying, "To use this move you need seven swords or a weapon made out of seven swords."

"That's why you gave me the wooden Keyblade," says Sora as John nods when he feels preying eyes in him.

"But we should continue this once we are alone," says John looking at Hercules and Phil who wanted to see the move.

"Come on, you can show it to them," says Nesiara as she hasn't seen the move in a long time as well.

"Fine," says John as he summoned Yamato.

He concentrated before he throws one of the dummies into the air while Yamato was radiating a bluish aura when John's other swords appeared around him and split up while he performed the first cut.

He rushed from one sword slices through the dummy and picks the next sword and repeats the anterior step over and over until it was the seventh sword turn and all swords fall from the sky with John holding Omega in his hand while the other swords were around him.

Sora and the others were in awe when John picked the Fusion Sword from the ground and repeated the move on another dummy making Sora walk up to him once he was done.

"That was so epic," says Sora excited that he will be learning that move while Hercules seemed to want to learn a flashy move as well when John puts his hand on Hercules's shoulder.

"You don't need a flashy move like that. You just need to believe in yourself some more and your special move will find you as will Sora find his special moves," says John to Hercules as he knew what he must be feeling since he was in his position as well until he created his set of moves.

"What is it called?" asks Sora as he interrupted the little moment of inspiration for Hercules making John smile.

"Omnislash ver.5," says John as Sora began to train right away to learn that move while Nesiara had some moves for Goofy and Donald as well in mind.
