Synopsis

At Hollow Bastion, Maleficent comments on how Riku is sitting in total darkness. Riku explains he feels more comfortable in the dark. Maleficent grins, asking Riku if he is ready to join their side. Riku brushes her away, saying he is going to find out their plan. Just before the scene ends, a floating Kairi can be seen.

The scene shifts to Hades in Hollow Bastion. Hades finds Maleficent walking down a hall, eventually warning her of Riku as she passes. He asks if she is hiding something from the group. Maleficent ignores, simply walking away.

The scene then returns to Sora, Donald, and Goofy aboard the Gummi Ship. Cid suddenly appears on the ship's front shield, telling the group he has installed another Gummi. Sora reports that Agrabah's Keyhole has been sealed, and a sheet from Ansem's Reports has been found. The group faxes it to Cid, who is working with the others to decode it. Cid tells the group how certain people are being kidnapped throughout the worlds. With that, the group journeys on, finding their next destination.

The group arrives in the new world, which Jiminy concludes is Olympus Coliseum. He adds that there is a fighting tournament going on. Excited, Sora runs into the main lobby, being ordered by Phil to move a pedestal. Sora finds himself unable to move the pedestal, voicing his frustration. Phil turns around, expecting to see Hercules. Phil sends the group away, saying participation in the games requires an entry pass. The group heads back outside, finding Hades. Hades gives the group an entry pass, then quickly leaves. Sora runs back inside, now able to participate in the games.

Hades appears elsewhere in the Coliseum, along with a young warrior. The warrior has signed an unknown contract with Hades, forcing him to participate in the games to take out Hercules.

The last scene shows Sora, Donald, and Goofy training with Phil.
