Journal Entry

Kingdom Hearts II

Megara is the girl that Hercules fell in love with, to Phil and Pegasus she was a bother and she was trouble...guess what? They're right, but Megara was just like Cloud, she was captive by Hades the God of the Underworld and was told to trick Hercules to go to the fights that could kill him, Megara then changed her mind when Hercules was just like everyone else in the world and became good.

Kingdom Hearts II

Upon Sora's first Kingdom Hearts II visit to the Coliseum, he rescues Megara from a pack of Rabid dogs. Meg had been on her way through the Underworld looking for Hades, hoping to convince him to give Hercules a break. Sora offers to do this task for her and she happily accepts. She is later kidnapped by Hades as bait for Sora to unlock the Underdrome. While protecting Meg in the battle with Pete, she constantly screams 'Help me!'. After Sora returns to the Olympus Coliseum, he finds it being destroyed by the Hydra. During this boss fight, Megara sits on the side lines and drops HP, MP, and Drive Recovery balls as Sora passes by her.

Origins

In the Disney movie Hercules, Megara is a young woman who gave her soul to Hades in order to save her former lovers life, and thus is required to obey Hades. He sent her to discover Hercules' weak point, but she fell for him instead and turned on Hades. This ultimately cost Meg her life, but Hercules rescued her from the Underworld, reuniting them. Meg's debt to Hades is completely cut out of the Kingdom Hearts II storyline, although Hades does use her as bait in a similar manner.
