Story summary
The Player fights in the Coliseum Tournament.
Script
- [The Player celebrates their victory with Phil, but when Cloud gets up and tries to attack the Player from behind, Hercules blocks the blow.]
- Hercules: "I don't think so."
- Phil: "Herc!"
- Hercules: "We were tricked, Phil. This whole tournament's a sham."
- Phil: "Whaddaya mean, a sham!?"
- Hercules: "Look at the entry sheet."
- [Phil looks at the entry sheet.]
- Phil: "What? ...Hey, wait a second, there's somethin' written here real small..."The winner will receive a free trip to the Underworld." What kind of prize is that!?"
- Hercules: "One only you-know-who would think up."
- [Hades appears in a burst of flames.]
- Hades: "That's right, Wonderboy! This tournament was a production of yours truly. Of course, I was expecting YOU to enter, but hey, I'm a flexible guy. And we'd all die of boredom if things always went according to plan—not that that's a bad thing...So which of you is my champ?"
- Hercules: "Neither. Nobody won, so you can keep your "prize.""
- Hades: "What!?"
- [Hades turns red in anger.]
- Cloud: "I'll go with you."
- Hades: "Who're you?"
- Cloud: "...Cloud. So are we going or not?"
- Hercules: "Wait! You don't know what you're getting yourself into."
- Phil: "The Underworld ain't just dark and scary. It's the land of the dead!"
- Cloud: "I know. The Underworld...Seems like his kind place."
- Hades: "Well...Gotta say, I was not expecting a volunteer, but...Hey, I'll take what I can get."
- [Hades and Cloud disappear.]
- Hercules: "I don't like this. We have to go after him."
- Phil: "Herc!"
- Hercules: "Don't try and stop me, Phil."
- Phil: "I'm not. Just listen, I got two words for you: Make. Him. Pay!"
- [Herc runs after them.]
- Phil: "Don't know what to tell ya, kid. But the tournament's definitely canceled. Trust me, you don't wanna get involved with a guy like Hades. So go home before it's too late."
- [Phil leaves. Chirithy appears.]
- Chirithy: "I'm with him, kiddo! Let's skedaddle! Your heart's still not strong enough to take on the darkness in the Underworld. I had a feeling you'd say that. That's why..."
- [Chirithy opens a Lane Between.]
- Chirithy: "I had a gate prepared for you. But be careful. Beyond the gate is a kingdom ruled by darkness. Don't let your guard down even for a second! Bon voyage!"
- [The Player enters the Lane.]
- [Follow Cloud and Hades into the Underworld.]
