Hades: Difference between revisions

When Sora arrives at Olympus Coliseum and is rebuffed by [[Phil]], Hades provides him with a pass to enter the games, but when [[Sora]] starts winning the tournament, Hades instructs Cloud to kill Sora as well. When Cloud fails to kill Sora, Hades has [[Cerberus]] attack Cloud, but Hercules rescues Cloud while Sora defeats Cerberus. As Sora leaves the Coliseum, Maleficent warns Hades not to be overcome by the darkness, but Hades waves Maleficent away, claiming he can handle it.

Pete suggests waiting for the Heartless to take care of Sora and company, but Hades dispatches Cerberus to take care of them instead. However, Sora and Auron defeats Cerberus and escapes when Sora unlocks a door with the Keyblade. Learning that the Keyblade can open any lock, Hades decides to steal it and reopen the [[Underdrome]], a coliseum locked up by [[Zeus]] long ago. After Pete informs him that only Sora can wield Keyblade, Hades kidnaps [[Megara]] and traps her in the Underdrome, knowing that Sora must use the Keyblade to rescue her and unseal the Underdrome in the process. Additionally, Hades sent a [[Hydra]] after Hercules to prevent him from interfering and had Pete on standby to ambush Sora once he enters the Underdome. However, Sora is able to save Meg with Hercules's help. At the exit of the Underworld, Hades confronts them and reminds Hercules about the Hydra which he had neglected to finish off completely. They enter the Coliseum to see it in ruins with the Hydra towering over it. The Hydra is defeated, but Hercules lost his strength and will, because of the guilt that he had since he had not completely destroyed the Hydra.

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 does give Hades 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.
