The Batcave, 4:52 AM


Batman parried another downward swing from Ursa, while Ezra handled Sabine, Dick and Tim were fighting Kanan, Zeb on Damian, and Barbara on Hera.

"You can't fight forever." Ursa said.

"I don't have to." He replied.

Ursa made a horizontal strike that he somehow managed to dodge, and then spun and put an electric charge on her abdomen. The charge detonated, sending her flying off the training platform. Bruce dove after her, and landed on the cave's ground. Only, she wasn't there. Bruce flipped a switch on his gauntlet and his vision went a tint of blue, which highlighted all nearby persons. Damian and Tim called it Detective Mode. Bruce turned around only to see Ursa make a swing at him, cutting his armor open, and blood start to drip from his chest. Ursa punch him in the head, and then kicked him in the face with impressive speed.

Bruce crumpled to his knees. As Ursa stepped toward him, "So you're Bridger's first mentor," She said, "Have to admit, you have skill, and my respect, something not many people have, but I'm afraid your road ends here." Ursa rose the blade, but as she swung it down, Batman rolled out of the way, and took out a small device, he sprayed Explosive Gel onto his hands, making sure Ursa hadn't noticed, he turned, Ursa ran at him with the Darksaber piercing the air behind her, as she jumped up, about to swing down, but Batman was faster.

He threw his fists forward, as he made contact with her face, the Explosive Gel detonated, sending her flying to the platform above her. She hit the side of the Batwing, and she fell to the ground.

Batman grappled up, and took the saber from her hands, and examined it. It was a lightsaber, but not at the same time. The layout was different, and it was much sleeker. Bruce looked around, Ezra and Sabine were gone, probably fighting elsewhere.

Time to go find them. Bruce thought.


Ezra landed on the grass, as Sabine landed in front of him. Ezra sprung up, ready for more. The two were evenly matched this time, Ezra could finally use his training from Bruce and Dick. Sabine charged, as did Ezra.

The two exchanged blows, not one missing, until they were both too weak to continue. They fell down at exactly the same time, Ezra's vision was fading, just before he was knocked out, a shadow flew overhead, and then it was over.


Ezra awoke in a new place, not the Batcave, and not the Manor. He looked around, and realized he was in Clan Wren's fortress. He rose, and turned, and was mortified by what he saw. Mandalorians. Dead ones, blood puddles everywhere, Bruce knelt next to one, examining the wounds, Nightwing, Robin, Red Robin, and Batgirl were using flashlights to examine the walls. Red Hood stood in the corner, looking like he was deep in thought. Ezra looked to his left, where Sabine was crying, and Ursa hugging her. Kanan was on the Balcony, Hera and Zeb as well. Ezra wondered why they were so upset, then he realized Tristan was gone. Sabine was likely taking that really hard.

Suddenly voices, so many of them, started talking in Ezra's head.

"The fire rises."

"If you're nothing without this suit, then you shouldn't have it."

"Protect the pilot."

"Shut up, Caboose."

I only have twelve bullets so you're gonna have to share."

"Logan, you still have time."

"Together strong."

"The Devil Of Hell's Kitchen."

"With great power,"

"RISE!"

"Comes great responsibility."

Then they stopped. And a message was written on the wall in front of Ezra.

This is what happens,

When you drag your friends,

Into this crazy,

Little,

Game of ours...
