Chapter 32: The Heroes vs. the Black Arms

On the top floor of the black tower Xemnes flew out the liquid stream, followed by Shadow and the other heroes. "Well, well, well, it seems like you failed Xemnes," Black Doom said.

Xemnes walked on the bridge to the platform in large room that was surrounded by a dark liquid, and the room had large spikes coming out the wall that were so big that a person can stand on them. "Please forgive me Black Doom," Xemnes pleaded.

But a clear crystal surrounded Xemnes, and it sank into the dark liquid, "My army would never forgive such failure."

Soon Shadow, Cloud, and Danny walked on to the bridge to the platform. "It's has been a long time Black Doom," Shadow said in a dark tone.

Black Doom Started to laugh, "Yes it has Shadow. I wasn't surprised that you made it up here, since you are part of me."

"Lets cut the chit-chat and lets fight," Cloud said stepping forward.

"Yeah, you caused enough suffering for one lifetime Black Doom," Danny said as he stepped forward.

Soon the bridge sank into the dark liquid and a barrier formed around the other heroes. "Aww, we were starting to have fun," Dan said as he appeared next to Black Doom.

"Well then how, 'bout we just destroy them then," Sephiroth said as appeared next to Black.

"Lets put an end to their pitiful lives and their existence," Black Doom said as Shadow charged at Black Doom as Cloud with Danny charged at Sephiroth and Dan.

Shadow jumped into the air and tried to kick him, but with Black Doom's power of Chaos Control he was able to dodge the attack. Black Doom reappeared behind Shadow and he started to toss small meteorites at him. But with Shadow's power of Chaos Control he warped out of the way. "Chaos Spear!" Shadow shouted from above as five energy spears flew towards Black Doom, but he dodged it with Chaos Control.

Flying around the room Cloud and Sephiroth were clashing their sword. "This is foolish Cloud," Sephiroth said as he held Cloud's sword with his own, "No matter how many time I fall, I will always return."

"I don't care about that!" Cloud shouted swinging his sword, "Right now I care about stopping you, Black Doom, and the rest of the Black Arms! Meteor Rain!" Cloud swung his sword in a circle and small meteor was flying towards Sephiroth, but Sephiroth easily dodged them.

"Hmph, you think you can beat the Black Arms?" Sephiroth said as he charged at Cloud.

Cloud held him back with his sword and said, "I don't think we will win, I know that we will win."

Elsewhere in the room Danny and Dan where trying to hit each other with there eco-energy. "You really think that you can defeat us?!" Dan shouted as he shot an eco-beam.

Danny used his powers to deflect the beam, "I will beat you, just like last time!" he shouted as he charged at Dan.

Dan moved to the side and when Danny passed him, he grabbed his leg "Well it seems like you're losing your touch," he said as tossed Danny toward a spike. But with Danny's ghost powers he phased right though it. Dan just flew near the spike, waiting for him, "You know Danny, I can wait for a long time for you to come out." With Dan's overconfidence Danny was able to get behind Dan and used his eco-beam to send Dan flying.

Dan quickly got back up and landed on a nearby spike, as Sephiroth did as well. "So how is your opponent?" Dan asked.

"It seems that he grew stronger since our last encounter. You?" Sephiroth replied.

"Same thing," Dan simply said.

"Want to switch?" Sephiroth asked.

Dan had an evil smirk on his face, "Lets do it." Dan and Sephiroth started to charged at opposite direction. Dan flew straight at Cloud with eco-energy in his hand, and then he fired it at Cloud, but Cloud used his sword to deflect the beam. "So it seems you know what to do against a ghost."

"What do you think? Back in my universe we fight against different kinds of fiends, and Danny did tell us about you" Cloud replied as he raised his sword in the air and one of his swords separated from the large one and he charged at Dan. Dan put a barrier around him, but with Cloud's strength Dan was knocked back.

Sephiroth was swinging his sword at Danny, but with Sephiroth's speed Danny had a hard time dodging the sword. "Boy don't you ever get tired?" Danny asked as he dodged another slash.

"You surprise me too, since you are young and you have great power," Sephiroth replied. As Danny was dodging the blade, he slipped on the spike and Sephiroth took this chance to try and stab Danny, but Danny was able to move out of the way to just get a cut on his cheek. As Danny was grasping the cut on his cheek, he charged up his eco-energy and then fired at Sephiroth, knocking him to the platform below.

Soon Sephiroth landed on the platform, followed by Dan, and Black Doom. "It's seems like you underestimated us," Shadow said as he, Cloud, and Danny landed on the platform.

Black Doom just laughed and then said, "Well it seems we did, but you don't what we can do together. Dan, Sephiroth you know what to do!"

Sephiroth and Dan nodded their head as an angel wing emerged from Sephiroth's back and Dan took a deep breath, then Sephiroth tossed his sword into the air and a giant sphere formed above him and the Dan released the ghostly wail. "What the hell is that?!" Shadow shouted as he covered his ears.

"It's the ghostly wail that me and Dan have!" Danny shouted back.

"And Sephiroth is doing Metor!" Cloud also shouted back.

Soon an idea came to Shadow, "Hey Danny why don't you use your ghostly wail to counter his, and cloud you should try to hold back Sephiroth's attack, that should leave Black Doom open! Okay?" Shaow shouted.

Cloud and Danny Nodded and they faced Dan and Sephiroth. Danny used his ghostly wail which caused a feedback and made the tower started to shake, and Cloud charged at Sephiroth and he was able to hold back the attack. Then Shadow dashed towards Black Doom and jumped on him, "What this?!" he shout as Shadow reached into his robe and jumped away. "He got the last Chaos Emerald!"

Everyone stopped at what they were doing and stared at Shadow, "That right Black Doom, now you know what will happen next," he said as the Seven Chaos Emeralds hovered above him and they started to spin around him at an increasing speed then his fur turned gold…

…he had become Super Shadow.

All hail Shadow

Heroes rise again

"What kind of power is this?" Link asked in amazement.

Obliterating everything that's not your friend

"Yeah his power surpasses my Super Sayian 3" Goku agreed.

Nothing can stop you now

No ghosts to bring you down

"He used the Chaos Emeralds to become Super Shadow," Sonic explained.

When there's nothing left to lose you win

"So who wants to fight me first?" Shadow asked.

(Bow your heads low)

(All hail Shadow)

Soon Dan was the first one to step up to Shadow.

(Bow your heads low)

(All hail Shadow)

Dan started to swing punches at Shadow only to have Shadow easily dodge it.

Suffer long and it will set you free

Only through trial do we find the strength we need

Dan then tried a new approach and phased though the ground and reappear behind Shadow, but Shadow easily caught him.

It's never over, just another day

Of hope and tragedies and everything that comes our way

Dan then used his eco-beams to hit Shadow, but Shadow easily caught it.

Determination of the strong

Shadow then fired it back Dan.

Found the meaning that you searched for so long

Shadow charged at Dan and started to throw a hurricane of fists at Dan and he kicked Dan into the air.

All hail Shadow

Heroes rise again

Obliterating everything that's not your friend

With incredible speed Shadow was above Dan and Shadow hit him straight back to the ground.

Nothing can stop you now

"How can this be?" Dan asked himself.

No ghosts to bring you down

"It's over for you," Danny said as he sucked Dan into the Fenton-Thermos.

When there's nothing left to lose you win

Danny then sealed the thermos up and gave Shadow a thumbs up.

(Bow your heads low)

(All hail Shadow)

(Bow your heads low)

(All hail Shadow)

Sephiroth then charged at Shadow with full speed, and tried to stab him, but Shadow dodged him

Somewhere in chaos we all find ourselves

Soon Sephiroth's body started to glow.

This destruction is the only tale we tell

Sephiroth started to swing his sword like crazy as he chased Shadow around the large room.

White is black and black is white

Right is wrong and wrong is right

Nothing ever fills this hole inside your heart

As Sephiroth was swinging his sword Shadow caught it with one hand.

Determination of the strong

Then Shadow took the sword out of his hand and tossed it at the platform.

Found the meaning that you searched for so long

Shadow started to use his speed to hit Sephiroth in different directions.

All hail Shadow

Heroes rise again

Obliterating everything that's not your friend

Then Shadow dropped kicked Sephiroth back to the platform

Nothing can stop you now

Shadow floated back down, in front of Sephiroth.

No ghosts to bring you down

"It's over Sephiroth, give up," Shadow commanded.

When there's nothing left to lose you win

Sephiroth just laughed as he got back up, "Oh I'm far from over," he said as he raised up high, "Meteor Rain!" Soon meteors started to rain in the tower.

Cloud and Danny were about get ready, but Shadow raised his arm, "Don't worry I can handle this," he said as he flew up and curled up into a ball to do a spin dash.

Shadow then bashed thought the meteors that came close to him.

All hail Shadow

Heroes rise again

Obliterating everything that's not your friend

Shadow soon got to Sephiroth as his body just stopped moving.

Nothing can stop you now

No ghosts to bring you down

Then Shadow used spin dash to hit Sephiroth back down.

When there's nothing left to lose you win

After Sephiroth was on the ground again Shadow then flew up to face Black Doom.

(Bow your heads low)

(All hail Shadow)

(Bow your heads low)

(All hail Shadow)

"Bravo Shadow, you've gone further then I had inspected, I'm impressed," Black Doom said.

"Oh just shut up Black Doom, you know that you've lost this whole thing," Shadow responded. Black Doom just laughed at what he heard, "What's so funny?"

"Do you think I set this all up, just to destroy you," Black Doom started, "Did you think I care for these villains?"

"What do you mean?" Shadow asked.

"Look behind you," Black Doom said as he pointed behind Shadow. When Shadow looked behind him he saw all the heroes that came with Shadow, with Organization XIII, and Sephiroth who cannot move because of the paralyzing gas. "And that's not all," soon out of the dark liquid the black creatures from Black Doom's old armies emerged.

"What's going on?" Shadow wondered as he saw all this.

"Well if you must know, I'm trying to get rid of all the most powerful being so that I can rule these universes easily, I'll be more powerful then the ancient emperor from long ago."

"Well then I'll stop you before you can," Shadow said as he was ready to fight.

"Hmph, you forgot if you come for me your friends will die, but if you save them I can escape. So chose."

"I chose…" Shadow started, "...BOTH!!!"

"What?!" Shadow then started to spin around and fired Chaos Spears everywhere and hit all the black creatures. "Shadow, you could of save hundreds of lives in you just destroy me, and now their blood will be on your hands forever!" Black Doom's voice echoed.

"Oh, will you just shut the fuck up Black Doom! This is just like last so I will win no matter what!" Shadow shouted. Then Shadow flew over to the others, "I know you can still hear me. The heroes and villains must now join force to stop the Black Arms, convince everyone to join force, but if everything gets crazy I'll meet you in Central City Park." Shadow explained, "CHAOS CONTRAL!" everyone was soon gone, then Shadow faced up, "This will end everything, and I'll destroy you for good Devil Doom!" Shadow then flew out of the black tower and into the eye of the funnel cloud where Devil Doom awaits.
