The battle had come to an end, the dust settling in the wake of the multiversal war. The Time Freezer—once an unstoppable force—was now captured, imprisoned in a temporal stasis, unsure if he was truly defeated or simply waiting for the right moment to strike again. But for now, peace reigned.

The heroes and anti-heroes who had come together to stop him gathered in a quiet corner of Gotham, exchanging words of gratitude and promises to protect the fragile balance of the multiverse. Kei, Ignis, and Teri stood at the heart of it all, their faces tired but triumphant. The task was done, but the journey had changed them all.

Kei, looking around at their allies: "We couldn't have done this without all of you. Thank you."

Teri, nodding: "The battle may be over, but the work doesn't stop here. Keep the realms safe, and don't forget what we've fought for."

As the group shared their final goodbyes, Super-Man stepped forward. His usual stoic expression softened, and he locked eyes with Kei, his voice low but sincere.

Super-Man, glancing at the others before speaking to Kei: "I was wondering... would you join me for one last talk? In your universe. It's... a bit personal."

Kei, raising an eyebrow, smiled: "Personal? What's going on, Superman? I thought we were done with fighting for now."

Super-Man, with a subtle grin: "Well, you see, there's something I've been meaning to settle. A sparring match—just you and me. No one else. Just a friendly rematch."

Kei was taken aback for a moment, but she couldn't help but smile. The thought of another sparring match with Super-Man was tempting. It had been exhilarating to push herself to the limits during their previous fights.

Kei, nodding: "Alright, Superman. You've got yourself a deal. Meet me in the wastelands. We'll finish what we started."

The Secret Watcher

Unbeknownst to them, Ignis had overheard the entire conversation from behind a building, her keen senses picking up every word. She stood hidden, her fiery gaze intense as she listened.

Ignis, smirking to herself: "A sparring match, huh? Well, well, well, if it's just the two of them... I guess I'll need to join in. Wouldn't want Super-Man to think he can have all the fun."

She moved quickly, slipping through the shadows toward the designated meeting spot. A grin stretched across her face as the excitement bubbled within her. She couldn't wait to see how Super-Man would react when both of them showed up, ready to challenge him.

The Final Battle... Just Between Them

The wastelands were eerily quiet as Kei and Super-Man met at the agreed-upon location. The air was thick with anticipation, and the ground beneath their feet was cracked and barren from the remnants of past battles. They faced each other, smiles playing at the edges of their lips, but a fierce determination behind their eyes.

Kei, getting into her fighting stance: "Let's see if you've improved since the last time, Superman."

Super-Man, his voice filled with playful confidence: "I could ask you the same, Kei. But I think we'll find out soon enough."

They stood there, sizing each other up, both knowing this battle would be different than any they'd faced before. This wasn't about saving worlds or fighting enemies. This was a test of strength, of skill, and of their bond as warriors. Just two fighters, pushing each other to the limit.

And then, just as they were about to begin, the ground beneath them shifted. The air grew tense, and from the shadows, Ignis appeared, her eyes glowing with excitement.

Ignis, grinning: "Did you honestly think I'd miss out on this? Let's make it interesting, shall we?"

Super-Man turned, surprised but amused. Kei couldn't suppress her laughter.

Super-Man, smiling at the two of them: "Looks like I'm outnumbered. Guess we'll see who's the better fighter after all."

With a final glance at each other, the three of them took their stances. In a flash, the sky above them erupted with energy as they engaged in a high-speed, high-power sparring match. Fists collided, flames blazed, and the earth trembled beneath them as they pushed each other to their limits.

Their battle wasn't just about strength; it was about mutual respect, about testing their boundaries as warriors, and about enjoying the fight without the weight of the world on their shoulders. It was a moment of pure, exhilarating freedom.

A Final Secret

As the battle raged on above Gotham, a strange energy pulsed through the city, a secret message hidden in the chaos. The Time Freezer, still trapped in his stasis, whispered through the time rift, sending a cryptic warning to those who would listen.

Time Freezer's Voice, faint but chilling: "The game is never truly over... and neither are the secrets of time."

As the sparring continued, none of the warriors noticed the rift beginning to pulse with dark energy once again, the shadow of a new threat looming just out of sight.

To be continued...
