A/N: Hey there everybody and welcome to a brand new story of mine, now this one is based on an old Playstation 2 game that was then re-released for the the Ps3. The name of the game is called 'ICO' I've played it before on an emulator both the USA version and the Japanese/European version as well, my advice go with the Japanese/European version it has more features and a better ending to it as well.

Alright that's enough talking time to get to the story.

Disclaimer: I don't own Young Justice nor do I own ICO, they both belong to their respective owners.

(Gotham City Eastern Docks 11:25 PM)

"Hurry up with those crates and be careful with them, the stuff in there is worth a fortune ." The smuggler in the truck ordered as the other five men loaded up it with last three wooden crates.

"Calm down Johnny this is the last of'em." One of the smuggler told Johnny as the last crate was placed onto the back of the truck.

"Good, now lets get out of here before the bat shows up." Johnny instructed them wanting to get out of there as soon as possible because he did not want to have an encounter with the Batman.

The others agreed with him as they all began to hop into the truck, with two joining Johnny in the front and the other three jumped into the back of the truck as it began to start up, but suddenly Johnny heard a hissing noise coming from one of the tires. He got out of the truck and saw a batarang sticking out of it, that was when he realized that he had a bat infestation on his hands.

"Shit! The Bat is here!" He yelled out to the others who suddenly got their guns out and began to open fire into the shadows knowing that's where Batman would most likely hide.

"did we get him?" One of them asked hoping that they just put an end to the cape crusader.

"You missed." A voice said from behind the smuggler which caused him to turn around in fear to see that Batman was now standing right behind him.

Before he had time to react Batman quickly snatched the gun out of the guy's hands and delivered a powerful left jab to the guy's face knocking him out cold. The guy closest to Batman was about to make Swiss cheese out the Dark Knight but suddenly a pair of birdarangs struck his hands causing him to drop his gun, then Robin dropped down from the ceiling and delivered a few well placed blows with his staff he finished the smuggler off with a roundhouse kick to the face.

The other four remaining smugglers began shooting at the dynamic duo which made both Batman and Robin run in opposite directions. Batman took out a smoke pellet and threw it onto ground concealing him from their view, but that didn't stop them from shooting at him though. Once the smoke cleared Batman wasn't there, then out of nowhere he appeared right between them and proceeded to beat the crap out of them. Robin had just gotten done with taking down one of the remaining smugglers, but unknown to both him and Batman Johnny was able to sneak into the truck and began to drive off in it flat tire be damned.

As he began speed out of there a few of the crates fell off the back of the truck which caused the top to come off of one of them causing some strange looking sword that was inside of it to fall out. Johnny was confident that he had gotten away from the Dynamic Duo until he heard a loud thumping noise on the roof of the truck, before he had time to react he saw a fist punch through the glass window and felt a hand grabbing him by his shirt and pulled him right out of the truck.

"Well that's all of them, all but one that is." Robin said as he tied up the last of the smugglers.

"Hey guys sorry I'm late, but hey I brought a little present with me." A voice said as both Batman and Robin turned around to see Nightwing carrying a now tied up Johnny.

"Great to see you made it." Robin said as he greeted the former boy wonder with a smile on his face.

"Looks like that tip I gave you guys paid off, so where do you think they got this stuff from?" Nightwing asked as he looked at some of the crates and noticed the sword.

"The contents inside of these crates came from Eastern Europe, they were smuggling them into Gotham for an underground auction and sell it to the highest bidder." Batman explained as he examined some of the items in the crates.

"I have to admit that people would pay top dollar for some of this stuff, like this sword for instance." Nightwing said as he picked up the strange sword from earlier and examined it.

The sword was massive with a round-tipped blade, and the hilt is curved and has a, relatively, long chain attached to it. The sword then started to shoot out sparks and bolts of electricity, then all of a sudden it started to glow much to Nightwing's, Batman's, and Robin's surprise. Then a voice spoke out to Nightwing in a strange language that he never heard of before, but he could make out that it was definitely female, he then saw a visions of a castle, strange shadow creatures, and a girl locked in a cage all flash right before his eyes.

"What's going on here?" Nightwing asked out of concern as he found himself unable to put the sword down.

Soon the light emitting from the sword started to get brighter and causing Nightwing, Batman, and Robin to avert their eyes. Once the light died down and much to the horror of the dynamic duo they saw that Nightwing had vanished without a trace, the only thing that was left behind was the sword.

"Nightwing!" Batman screamed out as he and Robin ran over to where Nightwing once were and stood there in shock at the former boy wonder's disappearance.

"He's gone." Robin said in both shock and sadness as both he and Batman just stared at the sword that took Nightwing away from them.

Unknown to any of them though was that now Nightwing was about to embark on an adventure unlike any other he's ever been on, hopefully he'll make it through.
