Chapter 28: Floor 12: Superman vs. Xaldin

In a bright flash the heroes were on the next floor, but this time there was a narrow bridge that's over a dark liquid, and in the middle of the room where the teleportation device was standing. And there was no ceiling just an opening to the next bridge above. "I wonder who would ever builds a room without a ceiling?" Danny said as he tries to fly up, but only to get zap by something.

"Danny!" everyone shouted.

"I'm okay. But it seems Black Doom doesn't want us to skip floors," Danny responded.

"Well it looks like we have to use that thing again," Dante said as he approached the device. But soon a tornado formed around the device, and then a lance flew out and went though Dante's chest. "Okay that's getting old," Dante said as he pulled the lance out and tossed it back, only to be stop in mid air.

Soon a figure stepped out of the tornado, it was none other then Xaldin. "I'm impressed that you made it this far, but don't be sure that you'll make it to the top," he said as his lance landed in his hands.

"Well it seem Black Doom under estimated us," Superman stated stepping forward.

"Fine then, I'll kill you all myself!" Xaldin shouted as five mini tornados appeared around him and five lances were left were Xaldin grabbed two more while last three were floating behind him. But to make it complete, a wind barrier was formed around him.

"You think you could beat me? Well try this!" Superman shouted as he charged at Xaldin with a fist out in front, but thanks to the wind barrier it was able to hold him back.

"What's the matter, can't hit me?" Xaldin said with a smirk as he span around grabbing the other lances and swinging them at Superman, but Superman was lucky to dodge the attack.

Superman then he took flight, "It seems that I have the upper hand here," he said getting ready for any attack.

Xaldin just chuckled and said, "You don't get it? This and the next floor are perfect for me and Xigbar." Soon Xaldin started to literality walk on air to Superman, "Now die!" he shouted as he flew straight towards Superman with all six lances, Superman was able to dodge it but the force of the wind hit him. "Now do you see what you are dealing with?" Xaldin said getting ready to fight.

'Damn, if it wasn't for the wind barrier I could finish this fight easily. But maybe this will drop it,' Superman used his laser eyes and aimed at one of Xaldin's lance. Soon the lance started to turn red until it reached Xaldin's hand witch cause him to yelp in pain and drop the lance and barrier. Superman took this chance and charged at Xaldin, punching him into the wall.

"Impressive," Xaldin started as he removed himself from the wall, "I see how you all got up here, you all choose the strongest heroes to defeat the Black Arms. But you'll never beat us." Soon the wind barrier came back.

Xaldin soon disappeared within an instant, "Where did he go!?" Superman shouted.

"Superman he's going to attack you from above!" Sora shouted.

Superman looked up to see Xaldin with one lance coming down and Superman dodged it. Then they repeat it four more times and then the sixth time Xaldin was coming down with all sic lances but instead of dodging this one, Superman flew straight up towards Xaldin and when they collide there was a huge gust of wind. When things calmed down they saw Xaldin's lances are shattered and Xaldin was falling toward the dark liquid, but before he hit it, his body turned into a ball of light.

The tornado soon disappeared and Superman landed near the teleportation device, "Shall we go on?"

All the heroes started to walk toward the teleportation device, but Shadow stopped when he heard something, "Very good Shadow, you are fulfilling your destiny that Soa created you to do, just like the other one."

Shadow turned around and then checked every direction to find out where that mysterious voice. "Hey, Shadow anything wrong?" Sonic asked.

Shadow snapped back to reality, "Oh, sorry I just blank out right there. Come on lets go." Sonic and Shadow started to walk to the teleportation device, 'What's going on, what's with that voice, and what did it mean?'
