Chapter 2: Jewel Heist
Sometime later outside a jewel store and on a random building opposite it, a villain is looking at the store. He's wearing a jetpack attached to a bulletproof vest that has many pockets that contain incendiary grenades and has a flamethrower attached and hanging on his right side. He's also dressed in brown, black and yellow and he's wearing a black helmet with a red visor for clear vision. His name? Firefly.
The pyromaniac villain who was known for his arsonist activities and as a skilled mercenary is hired to do lots of dirty work for his contracts which resulted in some hefty pays and sometimes epic fail from the Batman which is the main reason according to his opinion. As he continued looking at the store. "Heh. Word has said that a rare collection of precious stones was on sale. Looks real worth it to me."
"I have to agree."
"Yeah...wait a minute, who's there?" Soon enough, a newly improved and "reborn" Killer Moth flew down beside him. "Whoa! Nice costume you've got! But isn't Halloween too early for you?" That's when Killer Moth pointed his laser gauntlet at him. "Whoa chill dude! You can't take the joke seriously? What if I'm the Joker, you'll be laughing your ass off right?"
"Shut up or I'll give you a headshot!" Killer Moth threatened Firefly as he looked surprised at his behaviour so he silenced himself. As they looked at the jewel store, "Nice view right Moth?"
"Yeah. There must be something valuable in there right?"
"Yeah, read it on the papers this morning."
"So do I." Then, they look at each other for a moment.
Later...
There are some customers in the jewel store and some are admiring the jewellery and others making purchases. They are also talking about the collection of precious stones on sale as it was displayed on a display case or something. The doors then opened and...
"BDEW! BDEW! BDEW!"
Killer Moth and Firefly entered in and all the people all panicked as Firefly broke open all the displays with his fists while Killer Moth fired his laser gauntlets in the air. 'Don't move or you'll get a headshot." Yeah, the moth's attitude, behaviour and character has changed to the next level amzing Firefly somehow. "Dude. people used to laugh at you but now, they fear you."
"Yes indeed. Now, PUT ALL THE JEWELLERY IN THIS SACK NOW!" All the customers and the staff obeyed as they put all the jewellery into a sack Firefly is holding. Killer Moth then noticed the rare collection of precious stones. "Perfect." He then smashed the display case and took out 25 stones that are of great value. "Whoa. Sapphire, Ruby, Jade, Topaz, Pyrite and many more. Excellent. It's all mine." He thought as he gave Firefly the command to dump the stones into their stolen goods.
Once they are done, they got out but however, the Gotham Central Police Department(GCPD for short)are waiting for them. "Leave them to me. I'll clear the way." Firefly took out 2 incendiary grenades from his front pouches and tossed them onto the police. They exploded igniting fire all over the place. "Neat. Let's fly!" Killer Moth and Firefly activate their flight suits and flew off but they never noticed 2 silhouetted figures watching them from the alley. "Is it time?" the first one which is a young lad asked the second one who is older and a bit bulkier but talks in a serous tone and manner. "It's go time."
Back there, the duo flew their way when, Firefly saw trouble. "Dude. What has dark capes and has a sidekick staff fighter?"
"Are you trying to action like the Riddler?"
"Maybe or a bit but look to your left."
"Okay-WHAT THE!" From their left are none other than Batman and Nightwing as they use their grapplers to move through. As they caught up with the villains. "So, did you bring in the heat Batman?"
"Here's your answer." A hi-tech jetpack was revealed and it powered up. "Taking it to the air I see." Nightwing has one too and soon enough, the dynamic duo(Gee, it's usually used for Batman and Robin. Well, never mind)are soaring to them. Firefly took action by using his flamethrower to burn them but they avoided the spewing flames from it as Firefly opened fired at Nightwing while Killer Moth took action by trying to kick Batman but he caught his leg and they wrestled as they flew delivering close combat in which Killer Moth has improved on. As both sides engaged in aerial assault flying around Gotham City for some time, "The big surprise comes in small packages." said Firefly as he drew out 2 more incendiary grenades and, "Catch Nightworm!"
"With pleasure!" As Firefly tossed the grenades at Nightwing, he drew out his 2 short staffs and whacked them in the air in which they exploded to prevent collateral damage on structures. After that, Nightwing flew and attacked Firefly and then, they crashed onto Batman and Killer Moth and all 4 of them crashed onto a building and onto another and onto a tree and on the ground all the way down. Apparently, they crashed onto the Gotham Park and there, the GCPD arrived and Commissioner Gordon gave an order. "Secure this area and set up a perimeter around it. Those D-Listed rogues must not escape!"
"What about Batman and Nightwing?"
"They'll wipe the floor clean and we'll mop it clean after them!" The Commissioner told the officer as the police set to work. As it goes on, Gordon notied something. "Is it just me or is it that Killer Moth has undergone a transformation or..." That is what concerns him as the heroes and rogues got ready for another round on land.
Now for the villiains, "So, what's the plan?" asked Firefly. "Simple. Show the Batman my rebirth!" Killer Moth answered as he got ready. As for the heroes, "If Killer Moth wants a fight then he's got one!" said Nightwing. "Stand aside. I'll do it."
"But Batman..."
"Stand aside." Not wanting to protest, Nightwing stepped aside as Batman and Killer Moth walked towards each other.
Batman: "From what I see, you've got a new makeover."
Killer Moth: "And you're the same as always. How pathetic."
Batman: "You really don't want to do this."
Killer Moth: "I do! My rebirth has fuelled my desire even more to destroy you! Let the battle commence when ready." Both of them got into position as Batman drew out a batarang and Killer Moth readied his laser gauntlets. Nightwing, Firefly and the GCPD all watched as they are in position. This is going to be one rough and tough fight between them.
So Batman VS Killer Moth. Who will emerge victorious? Find out in the next chapter!
