Chapter 1: Arkham Breakout

Thunder and lightning crashed around Arkham Asylum as the building stood tall around red sky. A tall looking man looked out onto the eerie building, he had a white beard and white hair more lightning crashed as he sighed a deep sigh.

"Arkham Asylum" the man muttered "the insane asylum" he walked to the big black doors as more lightning crackled around the building, he entered the building in which he was greeted by screaming and mad people, the security guards stared at the man like he was a stranger then another man greeted him this man was the warden of Arkham Asylum Quincy Sharp

"So" Sharp said and the other man handing his ID "you're a count, strange name but it checks out" he handed the count's ID back and straightened his tie

"Are the patients Joker and Edward Nygma ready?" The count asked and Sharp looked surprised

"Those patients" Sharp stammered "why would you want those patients?" the count looked at Sharp with an angry expression

"If I don't have those patients now" before the count could finish the alarms wailed around the building

"Joker!" A Guard yelled "he's escaped!" then an arrow hit the guard in the neck causing him to topple over with a thud, before the guard died he had a huge smile on his face. The figure holding the bow was tall and sleek, he had a purple suit, a green tie and a white face with a smile shaped scar across his mouth

"Somebody wanted me?" The Joker said with a mock expression he bounded over to the dead guard with laughter

"Ah" The Count laughed and the Joker looked up recognising the Count's voice, he took a knife out and sprinted towards him

"You know" The Joker whispered "you sound a lot like that bastard Hugo Strange!" and with a swish of his hand the count got up and the Joker fell to the floor

"I" The Count snarled "am nothing like him" he walked over to the Joker "I have a proposition for you and your cellmate The Riddler" at the mention of those words The Joker looked angry

"The Riddler" The Joker snarled with envy "and I have nothing in common" he looked at the Count with a shocked expression

This man isn't joking The Joker thought and that's normally what I do

"So are you interested?" The Count asked and the Joker stared at him with a stern look "in my offer?"

"What offer?" Joker asked "what do he and I get out of this?"

"A new world" The Count replied "be general's at my side, join my Separatists and we can bring the Republic to its knees"

"Not interested" Joker said "I'm a psychopath not some General" he walked back to his cell when the count spoke some more

"Shame" The Count muttered and the Joker stopped "I was hoping to get you two out of this place" at those words The Joker turned back round

"What's the offer?" he asked

"Join me" The Count explained "and I will get you out of here forever" and then the Joker walked to the Count and shook his hand

"I'll get The Riddler out" The Joker said "wait for my signal" and just like that he dashed off to the Riddler's cell and alarms went off with a bang! Literally as the Joker had placed bombs on them which made them blow up and most of the asylum itself then the Joker, Riddler and the Count ran into the night
