Sora's group takes the Gummi Ship to the Olympus Coliseum. In the Lobby,
Sora talks to Philoctetes.

Sora: Um...

Phil: Good timing. Give me a hand, will ya? Move that pedestal over
there for me. I gotta spruce this place up for the games.

Sora's group tries to push the pedestal.

Sora: It weighs a ton!

Sora talks to Philoctetes.

Sora: It's way too heavy!

Phil: What? Too heavy? Since when have you been such a little- (saw
Sora's group) Oh. Wrong guy. What're you doing here? This here's the
world-famous Coliseum-heroes only! (moving closer to Donald) And I got
my hands full preparing for the games. So run along, pip-squeaks. Look,
it's like this. Heroes are coming from all over to fight ferocious
monsters right here in the Coliseum.

Donald: You got heroes standing right in front of you.

Goofy: Yup. He's a real hero chosen by the Keyblade!

Donald: And we're heroes, too.

Phil: Hero? That runt?

Philoctetes laughs.

Sora: What's so funny? I've fought a bunch of monsters!

Phil: Hey, if you can't even move this...you can't call yourself...a
hero!

Philoctetes has a hard time moving the pedestal himself.

Phil: Okay, so it takes more than brawn. Well, well, let's see what you
can do.

Sora talks to Philoctetes.

Phil: This trial is tough. You got what it takes? You ready?

Sora: I'm ready!

Phil: Okay, kid. Let's see what you've got.

Sora alone starts the barrel smashing time trial. After Sora
successfully completed the trial before time runs out...

Phil: You know, you ain't bad, kid.

Sora: Looks like I'm headed for the games.

Phil: Afraid not.

Sora: Why not?

Phil: Two words: You guys ain't heroes.

Sora: Come on!

Phil: Wanna become a real hero? Start by mastering this spell.

Sora attained the power of thunder. Sora's group goes outside of the
Lobby. Out there...

Hades: Rather a stubborn old goat, wouldn't you say?

Donald: Who are you?

Hades: Whoa, hold on there, fuzz boy. Wait, let me guess. You want to
enter the games, right? (puts his hand on Sora's shoulder) Well, then,
hey, get a load of this.

An Entry Pass magically appeared on Hades hand.

Sora: A pass?

Hades: It's all yours. Good luck, kid. I'm pulling for you, little
shorty.

Sora's group receives the Entry Pass. In the Lobby, Sora talks to
Philoctetes and shows him the Entry Pass.

Phil: Hey, how'd you get this?

Sora: Can we enter the games now?

Phil: Well... I guess so. We start with the preliminaries! Ready for the
preliminaries?

Sora: Yeah, let's go!

Phil: Some real weirdos signed up for the games. Better watch yourself.

Sora's group enters the battle arena. They fight the first round enemies
and were triumphant.

Phil: You're no heroes yet, but you ain't doing bad. Lucky you came to
me for coaching.

Then, Cloud walked by and stares at Sora's group while he walks away.

Phil: Something tells me he'll be a tough one to beat. Who knows, maybe
you'll end up facing him.

Sora's group fights the next sets of enemies and was victorious in round
two and three.

Phil: Say, you're better than I thought, kid! Wish he was here to see
this.

Sora: Who?

Phil: Hercules. He's a hero if ever there was one. Too bad he's off
visiting his father.

Sora's group fights the next sets of enemies and was victorious in round
four and five. While, Sora's group were acting victoriously, Hades talks
to Cloud.

Hades: That little punk is your next opponent, okay? Now, don't blow it.
Just take him out.

Cloud: The great god of the Underworld is afraid of a kid? Sorry, but my
contract says-

Hades: I know! You think I don't know? I wrote the contract! I know it
says you're only required to kill Hercules in this tournament. But
you've gotta fight that kid to get to him. Come on. Hey, it's like that
old goat says: Rule 11: It's all just a game, so let loose and have fun
with it! I mean, a casualty or two along the way is no big deal, right?

Cloud left.

Hades: Geez. Stiffer than the stiffs back home. Still, suckers like him
are hard to come by...
