I don't know! He keeps saying he's got to face him, but Mickey's king, he's got other things to do. And Riku's really protective of him, so he's been keeping the two of them apart.

And that- [he grins widely] -is what I'm here for. [It takes no thought before Ven's Keyblade is in his hand, in his normal backhand grip.] Anyone can fight a Heartless, and beat it, and chase it off for awhile. But they won't actually go away unless you defeat them with a Keyblade, otherwise they just pull themselves together after some amount of time and come back. Anything you or I beat is gone for good.

And Hades is a bad guy. He attacked Aqua when she came here.
