"Okay. We've just entered the Hero Universe and are approaching a nearby world." Tails said.
"You know where I'm betting we end up? The DC Sector." Hope said.
"Why are we betting all of a sudden?" Zinia asked.
"I'm just excited, sorry. After all, the Hero Universe is where i trained to be a Blue Lantern. Saint Walker taught me everything about the Lantern Corps on Odym." Hope said.
"You'll probably feel right at home there." David said.
"Did you know if we're in the DC sector, were probably gonna run into the Heroes there? Think about it, we're gonna be meeting Batman, oh, or even Superman!" Rainbow said.
"Superman's got nothin on Batman, Rainbow. Get that through your head." Indigo said.
"Uh, hello? Superman has powers?" Lemon asked.
"But Batman gets by on his gadgets and his own strength, like some of us do." Sugarcoat said.
"Whoa whoa! Easy there. I'm calming this superhero battle before it escalates." Pit said.
"We've just entered the world. In….Gotham." Tails said.
"Gotham huh? Ha! Check and mate." Indigo said.
"What's going on with this world?" Sora asked.
"A multitude of battles are being sensed from Metropolis as well as in space. But I'm getting a signal from Arkham Asylum." Tails said.
"Arkham Asylum? Oh boy… whenever that place is mentioned only one person comes to mind." Hope said bringing up a database that had a crazed madman on the picture, he had makeup on that represented a clown and wore a Purple suit with a flower.
"The Joker. Batman's greatest foe." Indigo said.
"He was rumored to have something big planned, but is under constant surveillance right now under the Bat's orders." Tails said.
"Then why is Batman going to check it out?" Hope said.
"We should probably go help him." Rainbow said.
"My group will head for Metropolis to try to calm things down there." David said. "What sort of villains are we dealing with there?"
"Got em. Villains are Ares, Sinestro, Black Adam and Doomsday." Tails said.
"Go. We'll help the Dark Knight." Hope said.
As David's group split off, the two remaining ones soon landed near Arkham as they showed themselves inside.
"Okay, we're in Arkham right now. Joker's cell should be up ahead." Jexi said.
"Oh my gosh, look!" Indigo said pointing ahead to see a guard speaking with a man in a bat themed suit.
"We're keeping a close eye on him, Batman, just like you said. He hasn't moved in hours." the guard said.
As they approached the cell, as the guard was about to unlock it, Batman stopped him as he pointed to a tripwire in front of the door.
"What in the hell?" the guard said as Batman sprayed something on the line as it froze. He broke it apart as the door opened, revealing loads of explosives and a Joker dummy.
"How'd Joker do this?" the guard asked.
"He didn't. The real trap…" Batman began as he shielded the guard with his cape as throwing stars were tossed. "Is right behind us."
In front of the others was Deathstroke, who had his sword out.
"You're so clever…" Deathstroke said.
The Dark Knight and the World's Deadliest Assassin exchanged blows before they were blown back.
"Who signed you up for this, Slade? Lex Luthor?" Lemon asked.
"How'd you know?" Deathstroke asked curiously.
"Call it a hunch." Lemon said.
"His money's green, and as a bonus...I get to kill Batman." Deathstroke said.
"That's only the billionth time I've heard that…" Hope said charging in as he and Deathstroke parried punches, but with Deathstroke's enhanced reflexes, he was countering faster.
"You've gotten slower, kid. Your reactions are as slow as a turtle." Deathstroke said.
"Yeah...but I have the tradeoff here. Spectrum Fire!" Hope shouted hitting Deathstroke back with fire.
"Hey, Slade! Think fast!" Rainbow said using her Super-Speed magic to blindside Deathstroke from every direction. Batman then used his Grappling hook to catch Slade and reel him in for a lunging kick, knocking him back. Before he could even try to use his Pistols, Lemon grammed him by the back and shocked him with over 1 million volts, knocking him out.
"Sorry Deathstroke, no bonus for you." Batman said walking by lemon.
"Youre welcome." Lemon said.
"I didn't need your help." Batman said as he walked away. "Batman to Watchtower. Come in Watchtower. Nightwing."
"He didn't have to be rude about it." Lemon said.
"That's just how he is." Rainbow said.
Meanwhile, the Brave Adventurers were helping the heroes in Metropolis battle the villains there. Hawk Girl went in to attack Doomsday, but she was grabbed, untill Green Lantern intervened, placing a neckholder on the Destruction Machine and throwing him to Wonder Woman who slammed him down.
Shazam and Black Adam were trading blows until Shazam saw Doomsday falling. He looked back to Black Adam.
"Shazam!" he shouted as lightning struck Adam, reverting him to normal as he started falling with Doomsday.
On the ground, Green Arrow saw this as he fired an arrow at Black Adam, unfolding into a cushion as he fell on it as Doomsday hit the ground with a thud. After this, Flash arrived beside him.
"What was that?" Flash asked.
"Thunder of the gods, Flash. Thunder of the gods." Green Arrow said.
"What does that make us?" Flash asked as Doomsday got back up before Superman flew in and tackled him away.
"The poor saps who clean up the mess." Green Arrow said.
At the Watchtower, HQ of the Justice League, The Titans, Cyborg, Raven and Nightwing were fighting Catwoman, Bane, and Solomon Grundy. Leading them was Lex Luthor, who was in his battle armor. Nightwing and Raven did their best against Catwoman and Bane while Cyborg kept Grundy busy, but they were soon overwhelmed.
"Now, if there are no further interruptions…" Luthor said before Batman teleported in.
"Took me almost two minutes to break your encryption. Nice work." Batman said.
"Funny…" Tails said as the heroes were teleported in. "It only took me seconds."
"I can't believe were actually in the Watchtower! Best day of my life!" Rainbow said.
"It will be your last. Bane?" Luthor said as Bane approached.
"He esperado mucho tiempo para esto. Now I break your back." Bane said.
"I've got...OOF!" Yang said charging in before Bane swatted her aside with a Venom enhanced Lariat.
"Sis!" Ruby shouted.
"Ruby, you gotta cut off his venom supply. The tubes that go into his body. It'll give Yang a chance!" Rainbow said.
"Oh… well in that case.." Ruby said dashing with her Speed Semblance and using Crimson Rose to try and slice the supporting venom tubes, but Bane blocked.
"That won't work." Bane said.
"She wasn't trying to cut your venom, Bane." Batman said as he got into the fight. He threw a few Batarangs which exploded upon impact with Bane as Yang charged in and started delivering a flurry of punches against him.
"Think you're so big and tough? Compared to Bass, you're a walk in the park." Yang said sending Bane flying with the next punch.
"Eat my Boot!" Indigo said stomping on Banes face in midair with the Boot of her Guts armor, sending him into the floor of the watchtower with a huge impression in the ground, unconscious.
"Bane, Catwoman, Grundy…" Batman said. "You're all alone, Luthor."
"Geniuses often are." Luthor said.
"Psychopaths like you..." Batman said.
"You hero types are all alike. Even less imposing close up." Luthor said.
"You're testing my patience." Batman said taking out a Batarang as Luthor began to advance.
"You're gonna stop Luthor's armor with that?" Tails asked.
"Yes." Batman said tossing it at Luthor as it exploded on contact.
"Resigned to throwing toys?" Luthor mocked as he charged.
"Everyone with Ranged attacks, concentrate all fire on Luthor!" Batman ordered.
"No way, we just got orders from Batman! You got it Bats!" Rainbow said aiming her blade in gun mode. All ranged attackers fired on Luthor at he was pushed back.
"Argh! Damn you!" Luthor shouted as he increased his charge, ignoring the attacks as he attacked Batman.
"Time to kick your ass!" Natsu said punching into Luthor's armor only to be blocked by his shield and resistant plating. "What the…?"
"Don't bother! That armor is supposed to resist blows from even the Man of Steel!" Rainbow said as Natsu kept punching away. "And of course he doesn't listen…"
Luthor chuckled as Natsu hammered away. "My suit is invincible!"
Natsu the jumped into the air with a flaming fist aimed for Luthor's head.
"How about this part?!" Natsu said. "Fire Dragon King's Demolition Fist!" he shouted as he sent Luthor far back before going after him. Luthor survived Natsu's attack because of his Shield, but it along with his suit took a lot of feedback damage.
"Urgh… shield levels down to 25%... this boys almost strong as Superman." Luthor said.
"He's a lot stronger than you think. He's E.N.D." Rainbow said smirking.
"But...I go by Natsu!" Natsu shouted attacking once more. He shattered the shield and downed Luthor as Indigo and Lemon pinned his Arms.
"Try this on, genius." Batman said putting a device on Luthor that had him trapped inside of his own armor. "Superman, report."
"It's done. The others are mopping up. I'm taking Doomsday into deep space." Superman said.
"Lets hope its VERY deep space…" Batman said.
"We had some assistance from some young heroes on our end. Any on yours?" Superman asked.
"Yes. We did." Batman said before an alarm went off.
"What's that?" Catwoman asked.
"It's the none of your damn business alarm." Cyborg said pushing her through a portal as he approaching showing the scope.
"Radiological. Metropolis." Batman said.
"Hehehehe. I can see the headlines now. Justice League fails. Clown kills millions…" Luthor said.
"You gave Joker a Nuke?!" Hope asked in shock.
"Most of the League dies and Superman's beloved city is vaporized. I console the masses by offering to rebuild it, in my own image of…." Luthor said before Natsu knocked him out.
"He's done." Natsu said.
"We don't have much time." Hope said.
"Agreed." Batman said.
"David, get your guys over to the coordinates we're sending you. We gotta stop Joker before he blows up Metropolis, with you in it!" Hope said.
"He's planting a bomb?!" David asked. "U-understood! We're on our way there right now!"
"Bats, can you get the others to that place?" Rainbow said.
The Caped Crusader nodded. "This is Batman! Code: RED! Everyone to these coordinates! Now!" Batman said.
Meanwhile in front of the Superman statue in Metropolis, Joker along with Harley Quinn were in front of a nuclear bomb.
"Baldy said remember to...ah! There we are." Joker said as the bomb was armed.
"Mr. J! It works." Harley said as the heroes were being teleported in. "Uh-oh."
"Back in the van, Harley. Bats and I need to talk." Joker said.
"But puddin…" Harley said before Joker slapper her.
"Now!" Joker said as she left. "No one likes a third wheel."
Batman and the heroes soon arrived.
"Ah, Batman! My coeur de coeurs! My pommes de frites! I knew that ape Deathstroke couldn't kill you." Joker said. "And what do we have behind you? More sidekicks to lick your boots?"
"Hey, we're not sidekicks, clown!" Lucy said.
"They aren't from around here, Bats. Finally got some help?" Joker asked.
"It wasn't intentional." Batman said before the bomb started ticking.
"Why so jumpy? I merely took it off standby. It's this button you gotta worry about." Joker said pointing to the detonation button.
Hawkgirl and Wonder Woman were flying to the center.
"There they are!" Hawkgirl said.
"Come on Bruce, keep him talking…" Wonder Woman said.
"You push that and eight million will die!" Gray said.
"Correction. Eight million and several. I was going to enjoy the fireworks from a safe distance. But since you're all here, and I know a certain Gun-Toting mastermind would like you out of the way…what say we have one last dance?" Joker said.
"Stop him!" Hope said.
Everything was in slow motion as Joker's finger reached for the detonator, Wonder Woman and Hawkgirl with Shazam flying to them on one end, and Green Lantern carrying Aquaman and Green Arrow with him as Flash ran ahead, the Brave Adventurers charging in as well. Just before anything else was done, a dimensional rift sucked Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Green Arrow, Aquaman, Batman, Joker, and the groups all in and teleported them away in an instant.
After the teleport, a bunch of the heroes all dogpiled onto the Clown Prince of Crime as Batman rolled out of the way. They were still in Metropolis, but it was changed.
"Ugh…" Hope said. "Jexi... did we just..?"
"Fall through a Dimensional Rift? Yes." Jexi said.
"Metropolis, and yet…" Batman said as Joker got up after realizing the detonator wasn't working. He wanted to strike Batman, but Hope got in the way and pushed him down.
"You're not touching him." Hope said.
"Urgh… always gotta spoil the fun…" Joker said taking out a Shiv and focusing on Batman. "Maybe I was too sentimental before. I'll be better off without you."
The groups supported Batman and battled Joker in the streets.
"Hey Clown guy! Eat this! Green Star: Humandrake!" Usopp shouted firing at him as large plants wrapped around Joker.
"What the…?!" Joker asked struggling.
"Don't bother shaking them loose. Those root plants will keep you still as we beat you!" Usopp said.
An all out attack was launched on Joker until he was forced to the ground.
"Now Stay down…" Batman said pressing him down to cuff him. "And keep quiet."
Suddenly, armored cars surrounded the premises as dozens of armored troops spilled out.
"Hands up!" one of them said as they surrounded the group. "I said Hands up, Bat-freak! Do it or you're dead!"
"Wait, they're trying to apprehend Batman?!" Rainbow asked.
"Now that's funny!" Joker said.
"The rest of you! Hands up as well." another said.
"Oh boy..." Hope said.
Batman was prepared, as he activated a Sonic Device hidden in his suit and disoriented the soldiers, including Joker and the heroes.
"Ugh! My ears!" Damien said.
Batman threw some smoke grenades down as he made his Exit, Joker escaping in the chaos as well.
"We gotta make like Batman and get outta here!" Rainbow said.
"I think he went right." Lacy said as they went right as Batman made left.
"I hope David's group has better luck than us." Nagito said.
"Says the Ultimate Lucky Student." Nami said.
"We're all here, so where do we go?" Akane asked.
"We stay hidden until we find David and his group. They gotta be around here somewhere." Jexi said.
"Great. Were in a nightmare." Hope said before his ring glowed on his necklace. "My ring, its reacting to Green Lantern power. Hal's gotta be close by."
