Philo leaped into range of Batman and started throwing fists and feet. First swing was a high right arm haymaker aimed right for Batman's head which Batman blocked with his left forearm and responded with a quick right jab aimed for Philo's solar plexus but Philo twisted out of the way, dodging the jab. Batman swung a left hook aimed for Philo's head but Skullface barrelled into Batman's side, jabbing the crowbars into his side painfully. Batman stumbled but managed to grab Skullface and suplex him into the wall of the alley. Skullface crowbars clattered across the alley. Batman turned to Philo and saw the massive horde of ragtag criminals that The Red Hood was charging in front of and was horrified to see a large black sea of Black Mask criminals leak in the alley behind them.

Nightwing was consistently dodged Deathstroke's quick strikes, and Deathstroke was getting slightly irritated, and drew his sword.

"Got a new sword, I see?", Nightwing cockily grinned.

"It has yet to taste blood; and this sword craves for yours."

"Thats really creepy dude. I'm going to get a pizza after I kick your ass."

Deathstroke slightly faltered, letting the sword droop.

"Is.. Is that an insult?"

Skullface scrambled up the wall, his back aching. Batman was having a lightning quick exchange with Philo. Skullface pushed himself off the wall and was going to attack Batman again when a ragtag criminal grabbed him and started beating him down.

"I'm on your side!", Skullface screeched but the criminal didn't listen and threw Skullface to the ground. The criminal was going to curbstomp Skullface when a batarang sliced through the air, clattered off the criminal's temple and he dropped unconscious.

Skullface turned his head and saw that Batman was still battling Philo at impossible speeds, and yet he saved him? In the midst of an intense fight?

Nightwing dodged the incoming blade, but Deathstroke was hellbent on slaying the twenty year old. The blade sliced through the air and attempted to slice Nightwing's head off, but Nightwing ducked. The blade was beginning to put pressure on Nightwing, making him duck and weave and jump. Deathstroke was trying to wear Nightwing out. A bullet streaked through the air aimed at Nightwing but Nightwing heard the shot and reacted immediately, twisting out of the bullet's way while twisting from Deathstroke's blade. The bullet clattered into Deathstroke's armour and Deathstroke glared at the triggerman. It was a Black Mask goon and Deathstroke ran at the goon. He put his sword back into his sheath as the first blood was meant for Nightwing and he kicked the goon in the chest. He stepped over the gone and went to crush his skull with his boot. Nightwing used this distraction to equip his escrima batons and shock Deathstroke. The assassin dropped to his knees and Nightwing pulled the blade out from the sheath and clattered it sideways off the wall and it shattered. Deathstroke quickly spun and grabbed a shard of the blade that was suspended in the air and sliced across Nightwing's chest.

"Oh you son of a bitch!", Nightwing exclaimed as he stumbled backwards.

"This blade had to experience at least a drop of blood, vigilante."

"You're fucked up man."

Batman still couldn't advance towards being able to down Philo. His optics could always predict his next move, and Batman was always quick enough to block Philo's next move.

"I won't stop until you're defeated, Wayne."

Philo chuckled as he tried to land a combination of a jab and cross, following up with an uppercut and another cross, but Batman deflected the first jab and pushed Philo back using deadly combination of jabs and kicks. Batman called the martial art Tsunemoto, in honour of the assassin who taught him.

Philo was unfamiliar to the fighting style, and as Batman expected, he started to shrink backwards. Batman then proceeded to fight in a very erratic manner, changing disciplines before Philo could recognise which discipline he was using. Philo was barely able to hold his own against the Dark Knight now, as he suddenly became unpredictable. A criminal ran behind Batman and swung a crowbar aimed for his back. Batman turned while launching a nin-jitsu kick at Philo and grabbed the crowbar out of the criminal's hands. Batman turned the nin-jitsu kick into a two touch and clattered his boot into Philo's jaw. Philo stumbled backwards and stubbornly attacked Batman by tossing his knee towards Batman's jaw. Batman just took a step back while cracking the criminal behind him lightly and he dropped unconscious. Philo dropped and he kind of twisted his ankle. Philo hopped and tried to grab Batman's head but Batman jammed the crowbar into Philo's solar plexus.

"You got sloppy, Zeiss."

Batman cracked the crowbar across Philo's jaw and his jaw shattered.

Philo tried to scream but the jaw made it a hundred times more painful and Batman jammed two fingers into his neck and the pressure points dropped him.

"Sweet dreams."

Batman turned to help Nightwing fight Deathstroke but someone tried to shoot him in the back. He narrowly dodged the bullet and turned to see the Red Hood.

"Going somewhere?"

Nightwing twisted his way out of Deathstroke's quick punches. Deathstroke began to throw hard punches, some of which Nightwing couldn't avoid. One jab into the solar plexus and an uppercut and Nightwing ended up on the concrete, amidst the riot.

Riot?

Oh yeah, Black Mask's gang and the Red Hood's gang. They were tearing each other up. Some of them were bleeding out, someone of them were scrapping. It was a mess.

Deathstroke advanced towards the downed vigilante and went incapacitate him with his boot. Nightwing used his aikido techniques, rose and grabbed Deathstroke by the shoulder and flipped him to the ground. Deathstroke scrambled up but Nightwing switched to Jeet Kune Do. He started to lay several kicks into Deathstroke's back, but Deathstroke quickly adapted to the fighting style and started responding by switching into karate. The two highly trained and skilled fighters began to fight into a standstill.

Batman threw a batarang at the Red Hood, but he dodged it and he went to shoot Batman again. The batarang spun in mid air and fired at the back of the Red Hood's hand, knocking the gun to the floor.

The Red Hood lunged towards the weapon and Batman lunged at the Red Hood. The two collided with each other and they rolled over, the Red Hood atop of Batman. The Red Hood slid out his knife and tried to plunge it into Batman's throat but Batman grabbed his arms and held the knife aloft, which was centimeters above his adam's apple.

Apparently all of the criminals were out to get Skullface. The Red Hood's gang and Black Mask's gang all wanted him dead.

"So this is what happens to me when I sell my gang down the river. I get caught in the crossfire."

A Black Mask goon came running towards Skullface, but Skullface was expecting it and he lashed out and smashed the goon's mask and broke his nose under it. The goon dropped to his knees and Skullface smashed his knee into the goon's chin. The goon dropped, unconscious. Skullface looked around and saw the Red Hood atop of Batman. The two were struggling to gain control of a knife which was pointed at Batman's throat, but the Red Hood was winning.

Skullface pulled his baseball out from his bag and advanced towards the two struggling combatants. A Red Hood goon came sprinting at him with a hatchet in hand, but Skullface smashed the goon's wrist and the hatchet fell to the ground. The goon followed, screaming in pain. Skullface was going to cave the goon's head, but he remembered how Batman saved him. He didn't kill. Skullface left the goon screaming. Skullface ran at the Red Hood and smashed the baseball bat across the Red Hood's back.

The Red Hood yelled in agony and let go of the knife. Batman tossed the knife away and nutted the Red Hood and the helmet cracked. Batman headbutted the helmet again and the helmet split in two.

"God fucking damn it! Second fucking broken fucking helmet! Fuck sake!"

Batman kneed Jason and flipped him over.

"You're over. This plan is too weak."

Jason spit blood into Batman's face. Batman grabbed him, slammed him against the wall and knocked him unconscious.

"Alfred, send in the Batwing!"

Nightwing was exhausted, and he was beginning to see that Deathstroke was exhausted too. The two men couldn't outdo each other. Deathstroke punched at Nightwing but Nightwing deflected it and kneed Deathstroke in the stomach. Deathstroke headbutted Nightwing and Nightwing flopped backwards. Deathstroke kicked him in the head and went to curbstomp the vigilante when Batman appeared out of nowhere and punched Deathstroke in the helmet so hard the helmet shattered. Batman then caught Deathstroke in a sleeper hold and a couple of seconds later the assassin slumped.

The Batwing soared over the alley, and all of the remaining thugs that was arguing ran as fast as they could to escape.

"Let's take a trip to Arkham."
