Chapter 30: Floor 14: Sora & Riku vs. Xemnes
The elevator in the black tower came to the next floor. As soon as the elevator stop, the doors sided open to a large room that had two platforms, with a large computer on second platform, which are connected by stairs, and below the platforms was a black and red liquid. "What is this place?" Link asked as the heroes got on the first platform.
"It seems to be Black Doom's master chamber," Batman responded.
Soon the heroes heard something behind them, as they turned around they saw the elevator door closing and the bridge that connects the platform from the elevator fell into the liquid. Then they herd someone clapping their hands, and when the turned around they saw a silver hair man with the same jacket as the other members only his had a black and white pattern (A/N: it's the same outfit from the final battle in KH2) on the second platform, "Well, well it seems like you all made it here. Heh, maybe that's what happens when your leader is the son of…"
"Don't you dare finish that sentence!" Shadow shouted.
The man just laughed, "Well do you think your new friends should know about the truth?"
"Truth about what?" Ben asked.
"Something I want to forget a long time ago," Shadow responded.
"Well you cannot forget. As long you exist, the memories of what happened on ARK will always haunt you,"
"Oh just shut up Xemnes. You think you can stop us here?" Riku jumped in.
Xemnes just laughed again, "You think that's why Black Doom set this up?"
"What do you mean?!" Sora demanded.
Xemnes just smirked, "No matter what you think, what you planed, or what you do the Black Arms will rule." Xemnes raised his arms and created a bright flash.
When Sora felt the rain hitting him he opened his eyes he was within the Central City Park, he saw Riku and Xemnes. "What the hell?!" he said confused.
"I thought the platforms in Black Doom's master chamber were too small, so I took us out here," Xemnes said.
"Well then, lets fight!" Riku shouted as his keyblade appeared in his hand, as the same happened to Sora.
Xemnes charged at them and disappeared. Sora and Riku looked everywhere to make sure Xemnes would not get the jump on them, but Xemnes some how jumped out of the ground and stroke both of them. As soon as Xemnes landed, Sora tossed his keyblade at him but Xemnes just hit it back. "How did you get this powerful?" Sora asked catching his keyblede.
As quick as a flash Xemnes was in front of Sora, choking him, "I got this power from Black Doom," he answered, "and it looks like your time is up." Xemnes then started to squeeze tighter.
Unknown to Xemnes, Riku was sneaking behind him. And when he got close, he stroke Xemnes and making him drop Sora in the mud.
"Hmph, you shouldn't have done that," Xemnes said as he turned to Riku, "But I think I know how hard to control yourself when someone you care about is about to die."
Sora soon got back up and he and he and Riku made a charge at Xemnes, but Xemnes disappeared making Sora and Riku clash their keyblades. Xemnes then reappeared with a spin kick that knocked Sora and Riku into the mud. (again)
"Do you think you can keep us down?" Riku asked as he and Sora got back, but only to see Xemnes gone.
Soon Xemnes appeared and flew past them leaving three red orbs behind, and soon the three orbs flew at them and hit them. Xemnes did it five more times, and then Xemnes was standing in front of them with his arm extended out and then laser beams were firing out of his hand. Sora and Riku try to get out of the way, but they were too late, all the shot hit them. Sora and Riku got back up, "You surprise me, you went though all that and can still stand up. Well then I'll make sure you will never stand again."
'Damn he's right, another attack like that we'll be dead. Then I will never get to tell the person I love…' Sora's thoughts were interrupted with something piercing his leg, as he looked down he saw blood gushing out of his right leg. Sora then screamed in pain as he clutch his leg.
"Sora, this is our chance!" Riku said as Sora looked up to see Xemnes clutching his leg. "Can you fight?" Riku asked. Sora got bock up and nodded his head. "Alright lets do it,"
"Eternal Session!" both Sora and Riku shouted at the same time as they charged at Xemnes, "Last Saber!" they shouted as they started to release a hell storm of slashes, "Dark Cannon!" they both started to shoot out dark fire balls at Xemnes, "Master Hearts!" then their keyblades became a long saber of light and they were attacking Xemnes, "XIII Blades!" this time they made thirteen blades of light spanned around them and the blades hit Xemnes, "All's End!" then Riku and Sora tossed their keyblades into the air and the keyblades created a vortex that sucked Xemnes in, and in a bright flash Xemnes was on the ground.
"We did it!" shouted in excitement as a large lightning bolt hit nearby.
Back in the black tower, everyone was waiting for Sora and Riku. In a small flash Sora Riku, and Xemnes were back, "What happened?" Cloud asked.
"What do think, we defeated Xemnes," Sora responded.
Soon Squall noticed the wound on Sora's leg, "Were did you get that wound?" he asked.
"I don't know, it just came out of no where," Sora responded with a shrug.
"Well you should heal it though," Squall said.
"Alright then I'll heal it," Sora said as he put his hand on his wound, "Curaga!" a green glow and when he remove his hand, there was a scar there.
"You guys just continue to amaze me with your magic," Danny said.
Soon Xemnes gotten back up, "I'm surprise your still standing after that attack," Riku said.
"Do you think I'll be defeated that easily," Xemnes responded.
"Alright enough talk, how do we get to the fifteenth floor?" Shadow said.
Xemnes just chuckled and said, "Why should I tell you?"
Shadow didn't like that response, so in return he round house kick Xemnes in the face and then grabbed his coat, "Listen you little bastard you don't know how bad it will get if Black Doom is still alive, so tell us or else."
At this point everyone, except Sonic and Knuckles, was scared of Shadow. "Fine then I'll get you to Black Doom's secret floor," Xemnes said as he got up and walked to the computer.
Shadow was about to follow Xemnes until someone said, "Um, Shadow," Shadow turned around to face the others, "Shadow, we're curious of how you're connected to Black Doom," Danny asked.
Shadow just lowered his head and then said, "Sonic, Knuckles, keep an eye on Xemnes," Sonic and Knuckles nodded their head and went to follow Xemnes. "Hmm, where should I start, I know I'll tell you from when I was created."
"Created?" Superman wondered.
"Yes unlike the rest of you I was created by Professor Gerald Robotnik and Black Doom 50 years ago,"
"50 years ago?!" Link interrupted.
Shadow nodded his head, "Yes I'm older then I look, you see Professor Gerald wanted to create the ultimate life form, but he couldn't do it. That's where Black Doom comes in, with his blood, he and the Professor was able to create me. But Black Doom made a deal to have all seven Chaos Emeralds when he came back. So long story short I am the son of Black Doom, and me and Black Doom are the last of our kind, but I would not let him live for all that he done to this universe and all the other universes, I'll kill him with my own two hands!"
"So, is that what keeps you fighting? For revenge?" Sumas asked.
"That and the promise I made to Maria," Shadow responded.
Soon the liquid in the chamber started to rise up, until it reached the first platform, and the just gathered in the center to create a giant puddle, then some of the liquid started to rise to create a stream that went straight though the ceiling. "Well that's it," Xemnes started, "just ride this liquid to get to the final floor."
"Same liquid from last time. Okay everyone I have three things to say to you: close eyes, hold your breath, and plug your nose," Shadow said as he shoved Xemnes into the liquid, and then he jumped in followed by Sonic and Knuckles, then by the rest of the heroes. Then they all came up to the floor were Black Doom, Dan Phantom, and Sephiroth resides.
A/N: Well everyone the time for the final battle is getting closer. Three more chapters till the end of the war.
