Chapter 19: Floor 5: Mr. Incredible vs. Luxord

As the heroes were traveling though the fifth floor of the black tower, they couldn't find the next arena. "Damn, where is they put the arena," Shadow said.

As they traveled through the halls Dante noticed a piece of the wall was a different color. Dante walked up to it and put his hand on it and the wall opened up to an outside pathway. "Hey I think I found the way we might have to go," he told the heroes.

The heroes went to the outside path and they saw the red sky over Central City, buildings destroyed, and the Shagohog II shooting missiles. "Wow, everyone is giving it their all," Sonic said.

"Yeah, I feel sorry for the people who evacuated from the city," Wonder Woman said.

"Well the sooner we fight Black Doom, the sooner we end this," Shadow said walking forward on the pathway.

As the heroes walked on the pathway until the came to a platform that was an incline and a man in a black coat and blonde hair and beard. "Greeting everyone, I am Luxord the Gambler of Fate," he greeted.

"Why don't you stop with the nice guy act, and get out of our way!" Danny shouted.

"Hmph, if you want to get though you'll have to fight me," Luxord responded.

Soon Mr. Incredible stepped on the platform and said, "I'll be your opponent."

"Well first I have to tell you the rules of the game: We both will start have four minutes to fight, if you get hurt you lose one second, and the one who runs out of time is the loser," Luxord explained.

"Okay sounds easy," Mr. Incredible said getting ready to fight.

"Good, now let the game begin!" Luxord shouted as and a black and white energy surrounded Mr. Incredible, and then transformed him to a large dice.

"Hey that isn't fair!" Elasticgirl shouted.

"I know, but it's the way he fights," Sora said as Riku and Danny nodded in agreement.

Back in the fight Mr. Incredible was hopping around the platform and Luxord was trying to hit him with his cards, "Don't you know how to stand still," but Mr. Incredible tossed his dice body at Luxord and knocking him to the ground. Luxord quickly got back up and two of his cards became life-size.

At this time Mr. Incredible returned back to normal, "Alright, now lets really fight," he said charged though the life-size cards and made his way to Luxord, but Luxord tossed some of his cards, knocking Mr. Incredible near the edge of the platform.

"Don't squander your time," Luxord said. Mr. Incredible got back up and Luxord's hand glowed, that was soon around Mr. Incredible and cards rained on him. "Look closely," he said as a life-size card spanned around him and two life-size cards also appeared. And the three cards started to spin around Mr. Incredible. But Mr. Incredible a back side of a card that had Luxord and attacked it. Luxord flew out of the card and went back in the card, then more cards appeared and spanned around Mr. Incredible again. And again he saw the backside of a card that had Luxord and attacked it witch send Luxord flying.

"Not so powerful are ya," Mr. Incredible said.

Luxord got back up with his whole deck of cards and laughed and said, "Look who's on top of the game!" All of his cards flew everywhere and Luxord dove underneath one of them. As Mr. Incredible was waiting, Luxord jumped out of the cards and started to toss cards all around the platform. When Mr. Incredible charged at Luxord, he just disappeared and large cards surrounded Luxord and Mr. Incredible. "Now lets end this. This is the last game, you have to hit these slots and land on a O but, if you get an X you'll lose."

"Alright, lets do this," Mr. Incredible said as four cards appeared in his hand. Mr. Incredible tossed the cards and got three Os and the last one was…………… an O. "Looks like your luck just ran out," he said tossing the cards at Luxord and defeating him.

"How can't I lose in my game?" Luxord said as he turned into a ball of light and flew up to the top floor.

As the barrier went down all the heroes came on the platform. "Good job there honey," Elasticgirl said as she hugged.

Batman soon noticed a small control panel, "This must be the controls for the platform. Give me sometime to get this thing running."

As Batman was figuring out the controls, Shadow wondered near the edge and look out towards the city. Cloud then came to accompany Shadow, "It seems like they're giving their all," Cloud said.

"Cloud this is my fault," Shadow said.

"What?" Cloud said.

"If I checked if Devil Doom was done for good then I wouldn't have used Chaos Control on the Black Comet into space and destroy it," Shadow said.

"It's not your fault, and I know how you felt when Aeris died, I was right in front of her and I couldn't do anything, I couldn't forgive myself for two years," Cloud told Shadow as a tear appeared in his eye.

"Yeah, but did that create a huge war like this," Shadow responded. Soon the platform started to move sideways and after some time it started to rise up until it reached the next pathway. "Alright lets go," Shadow said as he they continue on the pathway.


At the top of the black tower a ball of light went into a clear crystal, and the light became Luxord again. "Where am I?" Luxord wondered as he pushed the crystal.

"You failed me, so you're being punished," Black Doom said.

"What?!" Luxord shouted.

"Don't worry you served your purpose," Black Doom responded as Luxord sank in the dark liquid.

At the other side of the platform Dan and Sephiroth were waiting, until they notice something in the dark liquid. "What the hell is that?" Dan said.

Soon Sephiroth approached Black Doom. "Um, Black Doom what's in the dark liquid?"

Black Doom just snickered and said, "For a long time I've been doing a experiment that requires the dark liquid from the Black Comet. And I think it time to test one of them."

"How are you going to do that?" Sephiroth wondered.

"The only way: send them into battle," Black Doom said as his eye flew out of the tower and into the city.
