Summary/disclaimer: Time for another chapter of Broken Asylum. Enjoy the 1800- word chapter. I don't own Batman; DC and a few others do.

(Arkham Asylum, 10 minutes before riot.)

The 8 APCs of the Nightmare Legion roared the gate of Arkham Asylum, Fright Night was already inside, 40 mercenaries swarmed out from the APCs.

"You know this is too easy, right? He would never allow himself to get captured like this… That's why I brought in more mercs… And they have reinforcements coming in behind them…."

Fright Night muttered, he walked alongside Batman, they were both behind the gurney that held Joker. The military leader and anti-hero looked at the villain.

"I have 6 more APCs coming… And more reinforcements standing by…. Are you sure bringing him back is a good idea?"

He asked, Batman turned to face him, 4 of Fright Night's soldiers followed behind them, assault rifles at the ready, more were showing up the more time that Joker took to be taken to the heart of the facility.

"No, but I'm here if he tries anything…. He's not going anywhere…."

Batman muttered, Fright Night took one look at Joker, he hadn't been around as long as the man, nor did he know him as well as Batman did.

But one thing he was good at was reading faces, Joker was smiling even more then he usually did, as if there was a sick joke only he knew about that was going on.

"You ever think he wants you to be here…. Or that he wants you to take him here? He gave up the minute you went after him… I don't like it…. Someone get a rifle on him, help our boys in blue."

Fright Night ordered, waving 2 of his mercs forward as Joker laughed demonically.

(Security Control.)

Harley looked over the Baseball Bat she held, it was covered in her custom design of red and black, the machine gun a MK 46 she thought, had the same color.

"Alright, bozos, I'm only going to say this once… I know that you don't get paid a lot yet… So, I'll be sweet, kay?"

Harley said to the 5 dozen thugs who wore red and black jackets, they also had face paint that made them resemble clowns, though they'd be the ONLY gang to have that following tonight.

"So, bet your all wondering what you're doing here, dressed up like me and all that, huh?"

Harley asked, she looked at her own ensemble, she had ditched the nurse look that she gagged at, she had a neck ring with a metal choker, leather straps on her arms, white sleeves and a collar which made up part of a quilted corset which was leather and red and black, she had more straps around her stomach with studs on them. She also had a skirt which was black and white on the bottom, she had lacy arm bands, she had black and red tights, black and red high heeled boots… She liked the color.

And she wore red in the ends of her ponytails.

"Yeah, what's the deal, Quinn?"

One of the thugs asked, Joker had paid them to help him, and they had a chance to kill Batman, like hell he was going to listen to Harley.

She smiled sweetly, seemingly understanding the situation.

Then she hit him with her bat, hard, he rolled on the ground, it hurt a lot.

"Never step out of line or I'll have to stop being nice, ok?"

Harley asked, using her other hand to lift the thug's face from the dirt, he nodded and she smiled, dropping him to the dirt.

"Ok, your smart meatheads…. Maybe not your buddy, but your smart…. I picked you because you hate Joker…. And because you want to follow me…. Mr. J…"

Harley said, she spat on the ground, that damn clown ruined her life…. She'd make sure he laughed in pain before she took him out.

"That damned jester… Anyhoo, you joined me… You all work for me, we're going to be helping my dear Mr. KN…. But first, we wipe out Joker's little pep squad, if you're in…. You can brag about ruining Joker's life, and ill pay you…. If not…."

Harley said before grinning as they heard laughs and turned to see two hyenas, giggling and snapping at them.

"My poor babies are hungry for food…. Ok?"

Harley said with an insane smile on her face as the thugs turned, thought of their options and then started nodding.

"Ok, boss, whatever you say… What do we do first?"

One of the Brutes in her new gang asked, Harley grinned, first….

(With Fright Night and Batman.)

Fright Night held a handgun to Joker's face, the elevator had shut down for a second, and Joker had laughed.

"What… Don't you trust me?"

Joker said, Fright Night looked at Batman, gesturing to Batman with the gun.

"See what I mean? He's got hundreds of his goons here, and he's very peppy for someone who's in lockup…. I know there's a punchline here…. And YOU know it to…."

Fright asked, pointing the gun at the deranged jester who laughed.

"Ah, ah, ah… That would be spoiling the surprise, Night Light! Bats, you really should keep an eye on him!"

Joker muttered, Fright backed off and turned to Batman as his two soldiers held their rifles to his face.

"I'm glad I brought so men troops…. Lieutenant, get your men down to the main courtyard, that's where you're going to be needed the most…"

Fright Night ordered one of his lieutenants, he didn't need to worry about Harley, and from the manifest, Two Face, and most of the other villains were absent.

That left only Joker, Poison Ivy, Joker's thugs and a handful of other super villains.

It would be tough, but manageable, a good hero and a good commander studied their enemy.

"Roger that, sir, I'll bring 8 squads down there and reinforce the guard stations around the island… You want any squads covering the more…. Dangerous parts of the island?"

Fright Night heard as the elevator stopped and the mercs, Fright Night, security and Batman stepped off the elevator and into the security tunnel.

Fright Night noted the talk Joker had with a guard as they stepped into the tunnel.

"Hold up, multiple prohibited items!"

One of the guards said, Fright Night grunted in annoyance, he had weapons, they were lethal, yes…. So, did his soldiers, he didn't see much of a problem.

"Run it again, I want Joker searched!"

One of the guards barked, Fright Night sighed and turned to Batman.

"This is ridiculous…"

Fright Night mutter before he heard Joker speak up.

"You know, I preferred the good old cavity search, much more personal."

Joker laughed out, Fright Night turned to Batman at this.

"Couldn't even knock him out, could you?"

Fright Night asked as Batman was silent before they passed out of the tunnel.

(With Harley.)

Harley had no beef with the guards of Arkham Asylum, they weren't her enemy, not unless they got in her path.

Her men maybe, she was no idiot to think her thugs weren't ready for a war, but she reminded them with her baseball bat that Joker and any rival crime lords on the island were their target.

"C'mon, why can't we just go in, take out the trash and kill the clown?"

One of her thugs said before one of her brutes knocked the man upside the head.

"Perhaps your forgetting every guard in Arkham is on alert since the court jester got into the prison…. Even if we fought our way to him, we couldn't fight the security of this place and the bat at the same time… So, we wait till the boss lady tells us to go in…"

One of the Brutes said as the thug rubbed his head and held his assault rifle.

"Ok, you didn't have to hit me in the damn head, it was just a suggestion!"

Harley heard and she leveled her weapon at the thug in question, she would be lucky if her gang survived the knight with how stupid her thugs made themselves out to be.

"Just shut up, boss, so we wait till something happens, then we move in, and butcher all of Joker's crew, right?"

The Brute asked Harley, holding his knives as Harley relaxed on the rock.

"Yep, that's the plan… If we get some good luck, then we get to sweep in, send Joker to the other side for good, then we leave and wave bye, bye on our way out…. But we aren't here to kill Batman, we don't have the numbers or firepower to play with Joker…. Getting some more manpower is secondary… Ok?"

Harley asked, she could be ditzy, and she could be crazy, but she also knew better then to push her luck.

She had a third reason for coming to Arkham, but that wouldn't matter for the moment.

Speaking of which, she wondered how it was going for him.

(With Fright Night and Batman.)

Fright Night didn't know Joker, aside from that, he also didn't know the commissioner, he and his troops fought crime around the world, he had only come to regard Gotham as his home after the faithful Christmas where he had met the Dark Knight.

"Fright Night, right?"

Fright Night heard from Gordon, he turned to face the police Commissioner and held out his hand, nodding.

"Yes, I've heard of you… Gordon, right?"

Fright Night asked, he got a communication from his troops and held up his hand.

"Sorry, I have to take this… Lieutenant, what's new? I'm in the transfer loop…. Joker is coming your way, get ready."

Fright Night reported, he heard one of his lieutenants a minute later.

"We just got reports of small riots going on, I think Joker's up to something… Wayne Systems are being overwritten…. Sir, its going to be a warzone over here soon."

Fright Night heard, he was about to issue commands before he heard the sounds of struggling.

He ran over to the window to see Joker fall before strangling one of the guards and then kicking the other one over.

"Joker's loose, alert the warden!"

Batman yelled as he turned to Fright Night who punched the bulletproof glass at the same time Batman did.

"Lieutenant, all reinforcements to the island, Joker's on the loose!"

Fright Night hissed before rearing his fist back for another punch.

Author notes

Phew, another chapter done! Yes, this chapter took a while to make, I was originally going to make it 5000 words, but then it would feel like I'm rushing things. As for Harley getting her own gang and hating Joker? That will change things, plus will be explained next chapter. Next chapter will be on Wednesday and will show Fright Night and Batman fighting Joker's army. Until then, Lighting Wolf out!
