Chapter 4 Getting ready for the Games

We wandered through the Castle looking for Huxley, and we were coming up dry. We searched high and low for him in the castle, but we couldn’t find him. "I'm sorry Twilight, I thought we would find him." Rainbow said.

“It’s alright Das- wait…” I heard something. Like metal hitting stone, heard Shining doing lots of that for practice in our backyard. I dragged her towards the sound of the noise.

We found Huxley. He was seemed to be practicing against a large piece of rubble. "*gasp* *gasp*" He was breathing heavily, clearly training hard. After a bit he hit the floor. "I think that's enough training for me. Man I’m out of shape." He said, trying to get back up before falling back to his knees. "Great, now I’m hungry." He said to himself as he tried to stand up and failing before he summoned his 'Key-sword' to help him stand.

"Are you okay?" I asked, he looked at us in shock. He tried to open his shadow door, but I quickly closed it on him by throwing a reversal spell at it. Glad that seemed to work, we started walking a little closer to him. "Here, let me help you up." I offered a hand when he was close enough and helped him up "Up you go." Once he was up he looked at me slightly confused. At least I think he’s confused, his hood makes it hard to tell but he did tilt his head slightly like a confused person does. “Let’s get you some food.”

"Uh, Twilight, are you sure we can carry him through the Everfree forest?" Rainbow asked.

"No Dash, we’re not going to carry him through the forest. You are going to fly back to Ponyville and get some food for him.”

“Oh, that makes sense.” With that, Dash flew off back towards town.

Half an hour passed as we sat in a corner in silence waiting for Rainbow Dash to come back. Finally we saw Rainbow flying back down with a large basket. "Sorry it took so long, It was Pinkie's break and she was chatting up a storm." Rainbow said as she placed the basket down and took out a plate of cupcakes and put it on the ground "Well, grubs on."

As Huxley reached for a cupcake I smaked his hand when it got close to the plate. "Not yet, before you take one you have to promise to answer some of my questions." I said as Rainbow looked at me and nodded.

He looked at us for a moment before sighing. "I don't really have a choice here do I?" He asked as I nodded. He grabbed a cupcake and quickly devoured it before grabbing another, then another. In less than two minutes he finished the whole basket. He stood up and started walking towards the castle entrance.

"Well, you two coming?" Rainbow Dash and I followed him back to Ponyville where we split with Rainbow. She was apparently still on the clock with the weather team.

I lead him to Golden Oaks and upon entering he walked ahead of me and took a look around. "Well welcome to my home" I said as he sat down on a chair and I brought out some tea.I took a seat and asked him "So what is that weapon of yours called?" I asked.

"It's called a Keyblade" He replied with a casual tone.

”Damn, Spike guessed that right.” I muttered.

"What was that?"

"Nothing, it was nothing. Where are you from."

"I can't say." That was disappointing.

"Come on tell me."

"Sorry, I really can't say."

"Fine. Where did you get your keyblade, and how did it open the vault?"

"I can't tell you where I found the Keyblade, but I can tell you of how I opened it. Simply put I have a large key."

This is frustrating. He’s wording around the questions! "Well what can you tell me?" He held his chin for a moment before speaking.

"All I can tell you that there are two truths in this world. The one you are told all your life and the truth of the world. The two cannot coexist." With that he got up and started walking out.

"Hey! What about our deal?!" I shouted as he opened the door.

"I answered your questions, now I'm leaving. May your heart be your guiding key." He said, chuckling as he closed the door.

I sighed as he closed the door. "At least I got something out of it. 'May your heart be your guiding key' I wonder what that means?"

Stupid! I should have never told her about the truths. Now she will try to figure me out and where did 'may your heart be your guiding key' come from! I thought to myself as I walked into a dark ally creating a dark corridor. Maybe it’s time I head over to a new world. I thought to myself as I walked into it not even thinking of a world. "Where am I?" I took a look around and saw a large Coliseum with two statues standing in front of me I knew where I was.

The Olympus Coliseum.

I was In Olympus Coliseum and I knew just what to do. I walked right to the main hall of the the Coliseum and saw Phil looking at some ancient Greek clipboard. Yeah, that seems historically accurate. "Hey champ, could you lift one of the statue's outside? I think one of them might be wonky." He said, not even looking at me as I came in.

"Sorry I think you got the wrong guy." As he turned around he saw that it wasn't Hercules but me, his expression turned to an annoyed look.

"Oh, what do you want?"

"I was wondering what this building was?" I lied, knowing full well this is where the games took place.

"You been living under a rock kid? This here is the Olympus Coliseum! It’s where The games take place and if you don't have the papers to play, then you’re not in them." I was annoyed. Seems the real Phile was just as rude as the one from both the movies and game.

I walked over to the giant doors to see the rest of the place when I over heard the voice of James Woods Speaking. "Hey kid, wait a sec." I turned around to see Hades standing in front of the doors. "I see you want to play in the games, am I right?"

"Yeah.”

"Well I can get you into the games" He flicked his wrist and a piece of paper appeared out of smoke and he started to write. "Name?"

"Huxley"

"Let’s see, favorite god, Hades. Obviously." He wrote a few other things down before he spoke again. "And, here you go kid." He handed me the paper that would get me into The Games, and then disappeared in a poof of smoke. What, no catch?

"Well time to head to the games" I said to myself as the doors to the outside opened, revealing an overly muscular man.

"Oh no, I can't be late for Phil's training again!" He said as they ran passed me. I realized that it was Herc, but before I could talk to him he ran into the coliseum.

I walked back into the main part of the building as Herc ran out again. Phil spotted me again and looked annoyed still. "Look kid I already said if you don't got the papers you can't be in the games!"

"But I got the paper." I handed him the peace of paper Hades gave me.

"How?You know what, not important. Looks like you’re in the games."

"Yes." I said to myself as I went to see what games were available. I could participate In the Phil cup. I thought to myself. "When can I sign up for the Phil cup?"

"Oh, you need to get through the preliminary tournament and that won’t start for a few days. Come back then I'll sign you up for them."

As I headed outside I saw somebody looking at Herc trying to lift one of the statue. "Ah, I take it you just entered the games too?" He asked, spotting me walk up to him.

"Yeah, how you get in?"

"Probably the same way as you... But anyway, my name is Ringabel. It is nice to meet a fellow world traveler.”

"World traveler? What do you mean?"

"Well that outfit isn't native to this world that's for sure." He pointed out.

"Okay I'm not from here.” Wow, the reality versions of these worlds and people are more… observant. “How'd you get here?"

"Star shard. There hard to control but when you do they can take you almost anywhere.”

"Oh yeah, that's so cool!" I said as Herc lifted the whole statue off the ground. "Wow. Never thought I would see a man lift a statue ten times his size before."

"Yeah, It’s quite a sight." Ringabel commented as we began to walk away. "See you at the tournament." He walked through the large doors and I went through my Corridor of Darkness back to the Castle in the everfree where I was staying. Gonna have to make a fire when I get back.


Author's Note

If anybody is wondering about the two truths cannot coexist thing I read it in the manga for Kingdom hearts.
