Flash ahead
Titans Tower
In the Titans tower five teenagers were sprawled across the room. Cyborg was repairing his shattered arm, Raven was meditating, Beast Boy was sleeping on the couch and Starfire was wrapping the final bandages around Robin's torso. All of them had various cuts and bruises across their bodies and they covered their wounds up with various bandages and ointment.
"That was one of the greatest battles we ever had. Who knew that Slade would have pulled out all the heavy artillery?" said Beast Boy,
"Not mention what happened when Xana sent the memory manifestation of Trigon into our world." said Cyborg.
"I hope that our friends will succeed in defeating the Xana." said Starfire.
End Flash Ahead
Xana smirked as his super form landed on the ground. The Lyoko Gang prepared for battle as Xana landed and looked at them. His red eyes stared right at them with the intention of defeating them. As the Lyoko Warriors prepared to fight Xana knelt down and jumped into the air and flew at them.
He closed his metallic hand into a fist and sent it forward. Aelita quickly used her powers to create a wall as Xana's fist went forward. Seconds later the fist collided with wall and broke through. Aelita winced as the fist shattered the wall and as Odd jumped in to take the blow and sent him flying across the room and hit the wall with a loud thud.
The others scattered as Xana landed on the ground and created a small crater underneath him. He looked at the others and smirked. The others readied their weapons and charged at him. Ulrich charged forward and used his triangulate attack on Xana.
Xana smirked and created a dark cloud which surrounded him and then created a small group of floating sharp spears before firing them at each clone. They jumped into the air as the spears flew and brought swords downwards on Xana. The demonic AI just brought one arm and fired an elliptical laser which forced the three warriors to scatter.
Xana raised his hands and his claws turned into lances and launched towards each Ulrich. Yumi and Aelita jumped in front of him and quickly used their powers to block the attack. Xana smirked raised his hand. Another dark cloud appeared and shaped into a large dark sword. Xana then jumped forward and swung his blade.
The three Ulrichs charged but with one swing Xana had destroyed the two clones and Ulrich was sent flying into the wall because he tried to block Xana's sword. The Lyoko Warriors regrouped as Xana stood there smirking there. Ulrich gripped his sword and charged right towards his foe. Xana only watched and waited for Ulrich to strike as he held his sword in one hand to his side.
Ulrich jumped and brought his blade down which Xana horizontally blocked the attack with one hand. Ulrich spun around and tried an upper attack but Xana blocked with his sword using only one arm again. Yumi charged forward and tried to slice him with her fans but Xana held up his other arm and blocked it. He quickly tied to blast Yumi with an elliptical laser but Yumi spun in the air and missed the attack by just a few inches.
Aelita charged firing energy orb which Xana blocked with only his sword and whipped his tails at her. Odd jumped and pushed her out of the way and Ulrich charged again. The two fighters clashed their blades again which clanged from the collision of hard metal. Breaking the hold Xana tried to give a thrust Ulrich's head but he dodged and spun to give a thrust to Xana's chest but the demonic AI dodged it too.
Xana swatted Ulrich but he dodged by jumping over the attack tried threw his sword which sliced one of Xana's creeper like tails. Xana gritted his teeth in pain as the sliced of tail hit the ground and his tails thrashed the ground clearly confirming Xana's pain. Ulrich quickly grabbed his sword as Xana spun his body and tried to slice him but the force of blow sent Ulrich flying across the room. Yumi jumped into the air and managed to kick Xana's sword out his hand.
Odd jumped and latched himself to Xana's chest and fired a barrage of laser arrows right into Xana's Eye on the chest armor while Aelita fired several shots which hit Xana but missed Odd. Xana gave a metallic slap which sent Odd flying to the ground in a not so soft way. He ran to give Odd a metallic punch but Ulrich got in the way and blocked with his sword. Xana then gave a kick which Ulrich blocked and continued to rain down punches and kicks.
Ulrich than stabbed his sword into the ground, he pushed on it leapt into the air. He gave Xana a hard kick in the chest which sent his enemy flying into the ground. Xana got up and reverted back to his original form. He smirked at the Lyoko Warriors.
"Giving up?" asked Ulrich,
"You all amaze me to no end. Even if it's hopeless you still intend to fight to the end." said Xana.
"What's it to you?" asked Yumi,
"Simply fighting and killing you all will not bring out my goal yet. That is why I have decided to call a final attack to decide this match." said Xana.
"Because we were kicking you virtual demonic butt?" asked Odd,
"No because time is running out and if you wish to save your world and your friends' world than you must survive this attack. Besides even you do survive than it will allow me to learn even more for the next time we fight." said Xana.
"A final attack?" asked Aelita,
"No doubt you other friends are still fighting Slade and Trigon but it is our match that will decide the fate of the two alternate worlds." said Xana.
Dark clouds started to appear in the giant room which had become the battlefield. They started to converge and became darker with each passing second. Xana raised his hands into the dark storm that he had created.
"Your world is quite fascinating, especially its natural disasters. Lightning, thunder, tornados, hurricanes, and so many more. Well you are about to see all of them in action at the same time!" said Xana.
As if on cue lightning flashed across the sky and headed for the Lyoko Warriors. They jumped to dodge but the attacks were so fast they were hit by only half the bolts of lightning but still hit them hard. They hit the ground and groaned in pain. Yumi quickly threw her fans but a tornado of darkness sprouted from the clouds and blew the fans away.
Yumi gasped as Xana sent the dark tornado towards her. Ulrich grabbed her and quickly plunged the sword into the floor and held it with one hand and his other arm held Yumi. The tornado's force started to grown stronger and more powerful and lightning started to flash inside it. Aelita fired energy bolts at the tornado but the attacks did nothing to harm it.
"Aelita, aim for Xana!" shouted Yumi.
Aelita focused her powers directly at Xana and fired an energy bolt at him. But great disk of darkness appeared in front of Xana and blocked the attack.
"If you impressed by this little display then you will really like the Cleaving Tornado feature." said Xana.
Inside the tornado appeared swords, scythes, and spears appeared and the tornado grew larger and engulfed the Lyoko Gang inside it. However the Lyoko Warriors were not sucked into the wind vortex. Instead the great wind was gone the moment the tornado engulfed them. Outside the tornado Xana smirked evilly as his enemies had yet to face his most deadly weapon.
"Ulrich look out! Duck!" shouted Yumi.
Ulrich quickly complied as a scythe flew over and soon enough all weapons were flying at them.
"Get down and stay close to me!" shouted Aelita.
She quickly created two energy orbs and used them to block the incoming weapons as the others ducked and stayed close to Aelita. Yumi used her powers to help block the attacks. Xana was mildly impressed as they worked together to stop his attack.
"Yumi use your powers to toss me out of the tornado." said Odd,
"What? Why?" asked Yumi.
"We need to get to Xana to stop this attack. He is the one controlling it." said Odd.
Yumi nodded reluctantly and used her powers to hurtle Odd out of the tornado with all of her might. Odd landed on the ground and used one hand to dig his claws in the ground and the other to aim his laser arrow directly at Xana. He fired and Xana just sidestepped the attack. Xana smirked as the tornado disappeared but the storm remained.
"Once again you manage to slip away, but I still have time for one more attack. You think you can escape this one?" asked Xana.
They all glared at him while he looked at them like he was watching an interesting TV show. They were mentally worn out and exhausted. They knew that they would have a long battle like this one against Xana of these days but Xana had control over Lyoko so they should not have been surprised when he was able to create that storm.
"If you can escape this attack then maybe you have what it takes to go all the way and actually make you strength on par with mine." said Xana.
He raised his hand into the dark cloud that covered the ceiling of the room. The cloud started turn into a vortex of black and red. Suddenly a giant red flaming meteor appeared and fell towards them. Ulrich help up his sword and it started to glow green.
"Ulrich, wait. That attack is still only experimental." said Odd,
"I don't have a choice." said Ulrich.
Ulrich held his sword both of his hands and raised it above him. As he prepared to bring the blade down the sword released a green beam of glowing electric energy and Ulrich brought downwards on the falling meteor. Ulrich found himself to push back a giant meteor with only a beam of green light from his sword. The others gathered from behind him and touched him.
They all glowed and the beam grew stronger. However the meteor was close enough and even though they destroyed the meteor exploded at close range and would devirtualize them. Odd quickly tossed Aelita away as the explosion devirtualized Odd, Ulrich, and Yumi. She nodded quickly and ran towards the tower.
Xana watched her as she ran. As mush as he wanted to pursue her, he could not. Like the other he was mentally exhausted and his powers required great concentration. He smirked.
Even though he would most likely lose he greatly enjoyed the fight. It would allow him to evolve and grow stronger for the next fight.

Slade's Lair
The battle was ending badly.
Slade was winning.
Robin and Starfire were losing.
Starfire was on her knees as she grasped her left rib. Robin was on his hands and knees sweating with frustration. Slade was standing in front of them both with only a few scratches across his armor.
"It seems that you have already exhausted yourselves. I was expecting a little more from you, Robin. If this is the best you can do physically then you are even weaker mentally." said Slade.
He revealed a mini computer on his wrist and he pushed the small button on it. Robin gasped and fell over in pain.
"Robin!" shouted Starfire.
Robin felt the source of the pain coming from his left arm and he removed his glove to see a small micro chip attached to his skin.
"What is this?" asked Robin,
"Don't you ever take off your gloves? I implanted that chip while you and I traveled to rescue Raven after Trigon betrayed me. It is special chip that encodes my DNA in it and it allows me to create a mental link between our minds. Now, Robin, let' see what makes you tick." said Slade.
Robin jumped and threw his birdarang but to his surprise Slade did not dodge them. They sliced him and his body turned into thousands of bats. Robin gasped and saw the room they were change into a vortex and then there was only darkness. He heard a scream and looked up only to be filled with horror, fear, and regret.
Three people were falling from a ledge inside a giant circus tent. They were his father, mother, and brother. He yelled towards them only to watch them hit the ground and shatter like glass.
"Strange how one little miscalculation can end with the death of those you consider precious." said a voice.
That voice!
"Indeed, but of course if did not happen then he would not have met the one who would shape his destiny." said another voice.
Slade!
"The man who suffered a similar fate and went on the path of the avenger." said the first voice.
Xana!
They appeared in front of him from the darkness of the void he was trapped in and they stared at him with evident amusement.
"How are you both here?" asked Robin,
"Slade here is real because of the connection between your minds while I am just fragment of your memories." said Xana.
"Now that we are here Robin, I can have some fun before mentally breaking you completely." said Slade,
"Just try it!" shouted Robin.
He pulled out his Bo staff and swung it at the villains but they both disappeared and Robin looked around. He heard a manic cackle that made him freeze in terror. He turned to see a man wearing a purple and green tux with purple pants, grey gloves and pale white skin. His teeth were yellow, his lips were red, his hair was black with green highlights, and his eyes screamed insanity. This man was murderer.
This man was the Clown Prince of Crime.
He was the Joker.
"Well if it isn't little birdie out on his own. You've come a long way from supporting good old batsy." said the insane man,
"Joker? How are you here?" asked Robin.
"I am only a memory like your dear virus friend mentioned earlier. They invited me for the top story in all of Jump City. The death of the Teen Titans." cackled Joker.
Robin yelled and charged at the monster incarnate. He punched Joker in the mouth and gasped when his jaw fell off of his face. Joker chuckled and picked up the lower half of his mouth and reattached it. Robin threw his birdarangs but knives sprouted from Joker's fingers and sliced them in two.
"My turn bird boy!" cackled Joker.
Joker lunged at the boy wonder and launched a kick but Robin evaded. However a knife sprouted from Joker's foot and sliced him across the cheek. Robin grimaced at the pain and blood spilled.
"Catch!" shouted Joker.
He released small metal balls that changed into hornets and flew at Robin. The boy wonder quickly jumped and dodged as the hornets started to explode at close range. Robin lunged towards the clown maniac and tried to kick him but Joker opened his mouth a gun appeared which started shooting flames Robin quickly pulled out his cape and blocked the flames and looked to see Joker's hands sprout claws.
Robin gritted his teeth as the claws sliced his left thigh and jumped back.
"In your mind I am your very nightmare. You call me an insane monster in real life well now you're looking at both of them. Mr. J is now the real monster, baby!" said Joker.
He opened his tux to reveal duffle bags and he pulled one of them and opened it up. What he took out was . . . clay?
"Remember this boy bird boy?" asked Joker.
He shaped the clay into a missile and threw it at Robin. Thinking quickly Robin jumped only to gasp as the clay missile exploded one beneath him. The blast sent Robin flying to the ground hard and he looked up to two knifes flying at him. He dodged them by only a few inches and looked to see Joker laughing at him.
"Now Robin don't die yet. You need to go out with a smile and besides I am not the only nightmare in your memory." aid Joker,
"I know." said Robin.
Joker's hands sprouted strange metal pieces that combined and turned into a clown face with a bells hat. The clowns' mouths opened and started firing bullets. Robin gasped and started running. Joker laughed as the boy wonder ran and dodged the attacks.
Robin quickly threw his birdarang which clogged up the guns and exploded. Joker only chuckled as he removed the remains of the weapon. He pulled out a small bag and pulled out five small black orbs. Robin gasped as he recognized them.
Joker's laughing gas!
Robin quickly threw his birdarangs to destroy them but it was too late and the orbs exploded. Joker laughed at the green gas has it covered the area where Robin was.
"Always remember birdie. If your going to go out then go out with a smile." said Joker,
"Alright then smile, Joker." said a voice.
Joker stopped laughing and looked to see Robin a few yards behind him.
"You say this my mind right, Joker?" asked Robin,
"Why yes I did dear bird boy. Why do you ask?" asked Joker.
Robin smiled at him.
"Then I can also bring someone here just like Slade brought you here to fight me, right Slade?" asked Robin.
Slade and Xana appeared behind Joker as they looked at the boy wonder. Joker laughed and pulled out a knife and moved to stab him. Robin closed his eyes and concentrated on one person. Joker sent his knife forward but it was caught by a large dark hand.
Slade's eye widened in surprise and Xana's eye brows went up even though he kept a neutral face.
The man in front of them was vengeance.
He was the night.
He was Batman!
