Bruce leaped out of his chair and stepped over to the glass case that had his bat suit. He quickly suits up and sends out a distress call to the Justice League. "An invasion has begun, split up among yourselves and head off to any city to fight these invaders." Batman briefly explains. He gets into the batmobile and drives off into the city, plowing through a herd of Brainiac drones.
Glancing up above he could see the large ship of Brainiac looming way up above. That's where it was coming from. Batman was distracted when he saw Damian suited up and slashing through some drones with his sword. Batman exits and takes out one that was behind him, sternly looking down at him. "Get back to the manor."
"I want to help!"
"This is a battlefield you are not prepared for." Batman states.
"There's too many to deal with by yourself. I'm staying."
"No you are not. Report home, now."
Damian was about to say something but a wingding flew past and took down a drone, Nightwing jumping down from a roof. "I'll watch him." Dick offers.
"I don't need a babysitter." Damian mutters.
"You have no choice. Go with Nightwing or go home."
Damian groans and joins up with Nightwing, the two leaving. Batman drives off around the city to clear away more herds of these drones, making sure the city was secured. He was surprised to see some of his own rogues taking part and fighting the drones, like Bane, Two-Face, and more. Batman sees Arkham in the distance, a green foggy cloud lingering. "Scarecrow.." Batman takes off full speed towards Arkham, jumping out of the batmobile at arrival.
Some Batfamily members where at the front gate, fighting off broken out inmates. Batman lended a hand and took down a few as he proceeded to enter the building. It wasn't hard to find Scarecrow, a trail of green mist left behind. Batman follows the trail while avoiding inhaling the toxin. Scarecrow steps out of the mist, walking slowly towards him. "Joining the party?"
"This is hardly a party. More like your treatment."
"I don't need your remedies Batman."
"Then surrender now and we can call it a night here."
"Unfortunately I can't do that either."
Scarecrow sprays Batman with some fear gas. But this wasn't any normal fear gas, it was a new formula. Scarecrow became a taller, zombified, monster once the gas kicked in. "Congratulations! You're the lucky subject to test out my new formula. Like it? I call it Scarebeast." Scarecrow-beast- grinned at Batman.
"Even in this form you won't succeed." Batman gets into a fighting stance.
Batman charges at Scarebeast and the two clash, arm to arm briefly. Batman kicks him back then throws a punch at his leg, knocking him down onto one leg. Scarebeast backhanded Batman and to his surprise it was stronger than any punch Scarecrow had done before. This formula sure was different. Walking it off, Batman rises and swings another punch towards him. Scarebeast caught the punch then kneed Batman in the chest, grabbing his sickle and cutting Batman's leg.
Batman head-butts Scarebeast then slams his knee twice against his chin, dazing him for a few seconds as Batman jumped forward and kicked him down mid-air. Scarebeast swung the sickle again but Batman knocked it out of his hold this time. Scarebeast shoves Batman off and pins the man down, grabbing and raising his sickle. "Lights out Batman!" He grinned wide. Just then he was shot and the vision ended, regular Scarecrow on the floor bleeding.
"I don't like it when others teach my things." Joker stood there with a shotgun. Batman gets up and knocks out the Joker, hating to admit Joker did sorta help him out. "Get yourself treated. Physically and Mentally." Batman glanced at Scarecrow once then left Arkham.
In Central City, Flash and Kid Flash were racing around the city and taking down drones left and right. Flash turned a corner and saw the rogues, standing there side by side. "Go, i'll handle this." Flash nods to Kid Flash and he leaves. "Snart, you should put this grudge aside. Can't you see the city is in danger!"
"I'm sorry speedy but things are changing. And so are we."
"You're breaking your code. What if they target hospitals? Glider will be dead."
"S-Shut up!" Snart glares, even though he hadn't thought about that fact.
"It's the truth. Make the right choice."
Flash raced away from the Rogues and went back to fighting drones. Flash stopped for a moment to overlook the city and was blasted by some ice. "Snart.."
"Nope. Something more⦠Killer." Killer Frost was there.
"What are you doing Caitlin?"
"It's Killer Frost! And i'm filling out my position on B-Squad. Your captain isn't the only one after your hero team."
"Your better then this." Flash vibrated out of the ice.
"You expect to much out of me." Killer Frost forms two icy swords.
Flash runs at her, dodging the swinging blades swiftly. He delivers a string of punches, racing around to hit her. After a few hits he slips on ice and gets slashed by one of the frost swords. Moving away before she could get in another hit, he trips her then cuffs her to a stop sign. "Stay put and i'll be back." Flash ran off and left her there.
Killer Frost broke the cuffs easily and the Rogues caught up to her. "Come, bring your little posse along. We have a speedster to handle." Killer Frost walks off, her hips swaying as she did. Captain Cold hesitated for a moment but started to follow after a while. "Let's put him on ice."
