Chapter 65: Welcome to Arkham City

Ky, Noel, Sora, Elena, Ken, Donald, Goofy, Max, Tails, Blaze, Shadow, Storm, Grace, Kiyo and Zatch, Lucky, T.J., Sly, Bentley, Murray, and Lucas leave the Caribbean and return to Lanes Between and revert back to their normal clothes and they continue with their journey but as they do Ky's Gummiphone goes off.

"Looks like a new mission again." Ky said picking up the Gummiphone and it reveals to be Gretchen. "Hey, Gretch, so what's the new mission this time?" Ky asked.

"Actually, it's going to involve a a world you're already involved with, but it's some sort of prison city." Gretchen said.

"A prison...city?" Tails asked.

"Um, what does THAT mean, Gretch?" T.J. asked.

"Just get over to that world and you'll find out, but be careful, it's just as dangerous than ever." Gretchen said.

"Okay. Thanks, Gretch." Ky said hanging up on the Gummiphone.

"A prison city. This should be interesting." Sly said.

"Whatever it is, we'll have to be even more careful." Noel said and they nod.

Later Fulgur, Millia, and the Gummi ship start flying through Lanes Between while dealing with Black Xeti rays of darkness and Heartless ships while dodging asteroids and using hyper speed tunnels and dodging rings of flames and later they find a world that has what looks like a giant city with searchlights, various buildings, and helicopters are flying around and so Ky and Noel use their Keyblades to create a light portal and enter it while the Gummi ship lands into the world.

In what looks like a building a figure who is a woman wearing a black cat like suit is standing over what look like defeated thugs.

"Well, now that that they're taken care of, time to get what I came for from that safe." The woman said as she goes for the safe on a wall and opens it. "Trying to pull a fast one on me, Harv? I don't think so." The woman said taking a chip and plugs it into her phone to download coordinates but then a pistol is pointed at her head.

"Get your filthy paws off that NOW!" A voice yelled and it's a deep male voice.

Later a scream is heard while electric sounds occur.

"Wake up, Mr. Wayne. We have much to discuss." A male voice said.

"Strange? You won't get away with this..." Another male voice known as Wayne said.

"Oh, I already have." The first male voice known as Strange said.

Flashback:

Outside of a gated area a blonde woman wearing a coat and holding a microphone is making a news report.

"This is Vicki Vale reporting live from Arkham City; the controversial super-prison built right here in the heart of Gotham. In a few moments, Bruce Wayne will be live on stage to explain his sudden interest in Gotham politics. The infamous playboy millionaire has never been one too." Vicki was cut off by a man with black hair and wearing a suit.

"It's billionaire, Vicki, Millionaire was so last year." Bruce said as he goes for the gated area while many people are taking pictures and approaching Bruce to ask questions.

Just then another shock occurs with the second man screaming in pain.

"I assume that you thought yourself untouchable. Well, as you can see, no one is untouchable." The first male voice said.

"Thank you, thank you, Gotham! Imprisoned behind these walls, gang leaders are fighting a bloody war in the middle of our once great city. Every inmate from Arkham Asylum and Blackgate Prison has been relocated to this facility. How can this be safe for the people of Gotham?" Bruce said making his speech.

Another shock occurs.

"Shut Arkham City down! It's out of control..." Wayne said.

"Shut it down? By the end of tonight, I will be a hero, just like you, BATMAN!" Strange said.

"Today, I'm starting a campaign to close Arkham City and make Gotham safe again." Bruce said.

Just then cars arrive and soldiers get out with rifles in their hands.

"Remember, Wayne is the target." One of the soldiers said.

"Surround him!" Another soldier ordered as they throw out smoke bombs to make smoke.

Two soldiers go to Bruce and point their rifles at him.

"We have Wayne! Target secured." A soldier said as another soldier delivers an attack with his rifle to knock Bruce out.

Flashback End.

Later someone reveals himself to be a middle-aged man with a beard, wearing glasses, and a white coat with black gloves and boots.

"I feel I should thank you. Capturing Bruce Wayne is so much easier than Batman. Now that we have you, Protocol Ten is ready to begin. It will be my legacy, a monument to your failure and if you try to stop me, I guarantee everyone will your secret." Strange said leaving.

Just then lights turn on revealing Bruce on a chair tied up and a monitor turns on revealing Strange.

"You are mine, new inmates. Let me introduce myself. I am Professor Hugo Strange and I am in charge of the Arkham City Facility. Up until this point, you have shown a total disregard for the law, for society and yourself." Hugo said but as he's talking Bruce tries to shake himself to get free from the chair and then falls making alarms go off.

"What the hell's going on?" A soldier asked entering and finds Bruce on the ground. "What are you doing? Did you think we wouldn't hear you?" The soldier asked as he tries to get Bruce who delivers a headbutt attacking the soldier.

Bruce gets back up but then another soldier arrives at attacks Bruce with his rifle and then slams Bruce's head against a monitor and then drags Bruce out of the room and into a different one full of inmates.

"Welcome to Arkham City, Wayne!" The second soldier said.

"Line A's where you're goin', rich boy! Move your ass!" The other soldier commanded making Bruce go to Line A.

Bruce moves through Line A but then a soldier attacks him with his rifle and making Bruce kneel.

"Lower your weapons. Mr. Wayne will not be any trouble. Will you, Mr. Wayne?" Strange asked. "The cuffs can stay on. We don't want things too easy." Strange said as the soldiers send Bruce to the next room.

Meanwhile in a city that's snowing in an alleyway a light portal appears and Ky, Noel, Elena, Ken, Max, Tails, Blaze, Shadow, Storm, Grace, Kiyo and Zatch, Lucky, T.J., Sly, Bentley, Murray, and Lucas fly out of the light portal before it disappears while Sora, Donald, and Goofy arrive at the alleyway.

"Is THIS the prison city you told about?" Sora asked.

"Looks almost like Gotham." Donald said.

"Are WE even in Gotham?" Zatch asked.

"Hmm..." Tails uses his techno map. "Not likely, my techno map's saying we're in Arkham City." Tails said.

"Arkham...City?" Lucas asked confused.

"You man Arkham Asylum, right?" Max asked.

"No, this says we are in Arkham City. It's a facility. A super-prison!" Bentley said.

"So that's what Gretch meant about a prison city." T.J. said.

"But what's gonna happen here?" Shadow asked.

"For all we know, we'll probably be dealing with criminals again." Elena said.

"Let's take a look around and try to avoid trouble." Ky said.

"Even though we'll still run into trouble." Kiyo said.

(World of Arkham City)

Meanwhile on a roof of a building Bruce who has his handcuffs off is calling for someone.

"Alfred, have you got my location?" Bruce asked.

"Only just, sir. There's more interference than usual." A voice named Alfred said.

"I need an immediate drop on the roof of the Ace Chemicals building. I'm on my way there now." Bruce said.

"Of course. By the way, sir, I watched your incarceration on the evening news. Was getting arrested part of your plan?" Alfred asked.

"Not exactly. I did get some one-on-one time with Hugo Strange." Bruce said.

"How was it?" Alfred asked.

"Not good. He knows I'm Batman and said something about 'Protocol Ten' will make him famous. I can't leave Arkham City until I find out what it is." Bruce said.

Meanwhile the group continue to explore the city for something but then they come across a gang of thugs.

"Oh, crap..." Ken said.

"Try not to get noticed..." Noel said.

"Hey, who's there?" One of the thugs asked and they see the group. "Hey, I think I remember those guys!" The first thug said.

"Yeah, they're those freaks that help the Bat beat Joker!" The other thug said.

"Well, it's payback time!" The third thug said cracking his knuckles.

"So much for staying out of trouble." T.J. said.

"Let's just get this over with." Sora said.

(Battle Theme: Arkham Injustice)

(Information: Fight off the thugs!)

One of the thugs delivers a punch at the group while the other thug attacks with a crowbar but Ky casts Stop to freeze time and then delivers four slashes with Dawn of Hope followed by Thunder Somersault and then casts Earth while Noel diagonal slashes with Radiant Salvation followed by casting Water while Sora vertical slashes with Wheel of Fate followed by two diagonal slashes and then casts Triple Blizzard and then enters Highwind and delivers fast and strong strikes with a pole like weapon followed by a rapid jab attack and then enters Storm Flag and delivers powerful attacks with his flag followed by a spinning flag attack and then thrusts his flag on the ground and summons water tentacles that slam at the thugs but one of the thugs picks up a flaming barrel and throws it but Elena uses her magic to catch it and then throws it back at the thug while casting Thunder while Ken bashes with his guitar followed by casting Magma while Donald casts casts Deep Freeze followed by casting Fire Burst but one of the thugs attacks with a baseball bat but Goofy uses Goofy Turbo while Max uses Shield Charge but one of the thugs tries to punch but Tails uses Flying Kick while Blaze delivers flaming ballet style kicks while Shadow unleashes two Chaos Orbs and throws them but a thug attacks with a crowbar but Storm uses Iron Tail while Grace uses Bite while Lucky uses Egg Roll but another thug throws a flaming barrel but Kiyo has Zatch use Zaker while T.J. multi slashes with his knife while Lucas uses PK Freeze but a thug attacks with a baseball bat but Sly turns invisible and delivers a juggle attack and slams one of the thugs with his cane while Bentley shoots sleep darts to make the thugs sleep and sends droids to attack while Murray uses Tornado Punch and the group defeat the thugs knocking them out.

"Stupid assholes." Elena said.

"They just don't learn." Murray said but then a light shines on the group and they look up to see a helicopter.

"I got a visual and I'm seeing people I've never seen before. Should we take 'em in?" A voice asked.

"No. Whoever they are, leave them. They are not our priority." Another voice said.

"Copy that." The first voice said as the copter flies away.

"That was something." Sora said.

"C'mon, let's keep going." Sly said as they keep moving.

Meanwhile Bruce arrives at the roof of Aces Chemicals and sees a jet flying by while dropping something which is a capsule.

"Did it arrive, sir?" Alfred asked.

"Right on time." Bruce said going for the capsule and opens it revealing his Bat suit and puts it on and is now Batman. "Alfred, I took an encryption key from a TYGER guard. I'm going to hack into their communications." Batman said.

Meanwhile the group continue to move through the city where they find more thugs talking to each other.

"Didja hear what happened? Catwoman tried to break into Two-Face's place to steal somethin'." One of the thugs said.

"Really? Heh, bet that cat'll be sorry for tryin' to rob the boss." The second thug said.

"Oh, she will be! Two-Face caught her and now she's taken to the Courthouse." The third thug said.

"Guess that bitch's gonna get what's comin' to her!" The first thug said.

"Okay, anyone know who the hell this Catwoman is?" Ken asked.

"Does it look like we do?" Shadow asked back.

"Whoever she is, she's in trouble, so we should do something." Ky said.

"But..." Donald was cut off.

"We're saving someone!" Blaze said.

"Aww, phooey..." Donald said.

"They said she's somewhere in a courthouse." Goofy said.

"You mean that courthouse?" Zatch asked pointing at a courthouse.

"Well, there's our stop. C'mon." Sora said.

(Field Theme: Arkham City)

(Arkham City-Downtown)

The group make their way through the downtown to go for the courthouse but they find many thugs blocking the entrance.

"Dammit, there're so many thugs blocking the way." Ky said.

"Do ya think we can take 'em all?" Goofy asked.

"I don't think so. Warrior Rule #10: Don't just get into a head-on fight. Know your odds." T.J. said.

"Then we'll do this the Cooper way, sneaking in." Sly said.

"Elena." Noel said.

"You got it." Elena said casting her invisibility spell making the group invisible.

"Perfect. In we go." Max said.

The group make their way for the courthouse while avoiding the thugs and they find the courthouse's door and Ky opens it taking them into the courthouse.

(Arkham City-Solomon Wayne Courthouse)

The group enter the courthouse and they go upstairs to see a group of thugs and a man with his right side having a normal human side but the left side has his insides shown and his left clothes are ruined.

"The only way to get by in this place is to get ourselves some respect." The man said in a normal voice. "Fear, that's how we get respect. Show 'em all how we do things." The left side of the man said. "We should be fair, though. This is a place of justice, after all." The right side of the man said. "Screw justice! Kill her and they'll all fear us!" The left side of the man said. "Bring out the defendant!" The man ordered revealing the same cat suited woman hanging upside-down and over a pool of acid.

"You do know how to keep a girl hanging, Harv. Had some work done?" The woman asked but the man slaps her

"You stole from us and NO ONE steals from us!" The man yelled.

"Sorry I've been a bad kitty. Untie me and I'll make it up to you." The woman said.

"Let's have the coin decide what to do with you." The man said flipping a coin in the air and it reveals heads. "Argh, court is now in sessions!" The man said.

"Oh, man... It's Wonderland all over again..." Sora said.

"We gotta save her." Kiyo said.

"But we gotta be smart. What would Batman do?" Ky asked.

Grace finds something and it's a ladder.

"Great work, Grace!" Noel said as they go for the ladder and start climbing.

The group are now on the upper part of the courthouse but they find a thug with a gun and so Bentley shoots a sleep dart to knock him out and they look down to see the two-faced man.

"That guy's ugly as hell." Ken said.

"Like you're anything to look at." Donald said.

"Shuddup!" Ken yelled.

"BOTH of you shut the hell up." Elena said.

"We can't be seen until we're ready for the strike." Sora said.

"That two-faced guy's calling the shots, so we gotta deal with him." T.J. said.

"Leave that to me." Shadow said.

"Shadow, wait!" Tails said but Shadow disappears and reappears and delivers a kick attack at the two-faced man.

"What?!" The two-faced man said as he falls to the ground.

"Huh?" The thugs asked.

"Well, that's new." The woman said.

Just then the group jump down and confront the two-faced man.

"Nowhere to run now." Max said.

"Who the hell are you people and what are you doing in my courthouse?!" The two-faced man asked.

Batman arrives at the courthouse and sees the group confronting the two-faced man.

"What are they doing in Arkham City? No matter, I need to help them and Catwoman." Batman said as he glides down to attack the two-faced man.

"What?" Murray asked and Batman reveals himself.

"Bats!" Ky said.

"Good to see ya!" Sora said.

"What are you doing in Arkham City?" Batman asked.

"Yeah, great to see you too." Ken said sarcastically.

"Well, look who's come to visit! Men, cut him in two and do the same to those idiots!" The two-faced man said.

"We'll talk later. We need to deal with Two-Face's men." Batman said.

"His name's Two-Face? How fitting." Elena said.

(Information: Help Batman defeat the inmates!)

The inmates attack at the group who dodge and Ky delivers three vertical slashes with Dawn of Hope followed by casting Triple Plasma while Noel vertical slashes with Radiant Salvation followed by Mystic Windmill and then casts Crystal while Sora delivers two horizontal slashes with Kingdom Key followed by two cross slashes and then uses Blitz but one of the inmates attacks with his baseball bat but T.J. counters and delivers a somersault slash with his knife while Max uses Cyclone while Lucas uses PK Thunder but the inmates try to deliver punches but Murray uses Flame Punch while Shadow multi punches with Chaos infused energy while Ken unleashes magic music fists and sends them to strike but an inmate attacks with a crowbar but Kiyo has Zatch shoot several lightning bolts while Goofy uses Goofy Bash while Lucky uses Headbutt but an inmate picks up a barrel and throws it but Storm uses Skullbash while Donald casts Balloon followed by casting Blizzard while Tails unleashes Magic Hand and it delivers a punch but the inmates try to punch but Grace uses Tackle while Sly uses Cane Spin while Elena shoots magic concussive blasts coated with Water magic but an inmate attacks with a bat but Bentley throws a sleeping bomb making the thugs asleep and then delivers a wheelchair dash attack while Blaze unleashes flame waves while Batman delivers punches followed by a roundhouse kick and then throws batarangs and they defeat all the inmates.

"Objection!" Two-Faced yelled as he shoots Batman.

"Batman!" Noel said.

"Overruled!" Two-Face said as he goes for the woman and points his pistol. "Heads or tails, Catwoman?" Two-Face asked.

"Which one lets me out alive?" Catwoman asked and Two-Face flips the coin revealing tails.

"Not this one." Two-Face said.

"I vote for a stay of execution." Catwoman said breaking free and slashes Two-Face with her claws.

"No gun? A shame. This'll hurt." Catwoman said.

"TWO guns, bitch!" Two-Face yelled but Batman uses his batclaw to hang Two-Face over the pool of acid.

"How's it hangin', loser?" Ken asked.

"Ever tell anyone you're full of surprises?" Catwoman asked.

"Figured you could use my help, Selina." Batman said.

"You're right. I think I chipped a nail back there." Catwoman said and turns to the group. "Never thought you'd pick more strays to help you out. They're so adorable when they fight." Catwoman said.

"Uh, any comment?" Ky asked.

"No." Elena said.

"It's Catwoman compliment." Batman said.

"So, what're you up to, Mr. Detective?" Catwoman asked.

"Protocol Ten. What do you know, Selina?" Batman asked.

"Protocol Ten?" Sora asked.

"The hell is that?" Ken asked.

"Never heard of it." Catwoman asked.

"What about Strange?" Batman asked.

"Don't trust him. Been missing for years and suddenly starts running Arkham City. Rumor has it he's been working with Joker." Catwoman said.

"Not him again!" Donald said.

"Joker being involved is never a good thing." Zatch said and they nod.

"That might be Protocol Ten." Catwoman said.

Just then something is shot from the window making Batman shove Catwoman away and they dodge the bullet.

"What was that?" Max asked.

"This place is dangerous. I like it. Were you expecting a kiss?" Catwoman asked.

"That was from Joker. You're not safe here. No one is." Batman said.

"Nine lives, Bats." Catwoman said and turns to the group. "You are an interesting bunch, hope we meet again sometime." Catwoman said using her whip and leaves the courthouse.

"Oookay...?" Sora said.

"Now what?" Murray asked.

"I need to located where that bullet came from and where it impacted." Batman said using his evidence scanner and begins scanning the window hole where the bullet was from. "It came from that window." Batman said.

"Look, this is where the bullet was hit." Tails said using his device to scan the bullet hole on the ground.

"Good work. The trajectory the bullet traveled will lead me to the shooter. I'd ask you not to get involved, but it's obvious you'll help regardless." Batman said.

"That's what we do." Sora said grinning.

"We helped you before at the asylum, let's do it again." Kiyo said.

"We may not know what this Strange guy's up to or what Protocol Ten is, but if Joker's involved, we'll help out." Sly said.

"I just want an excuse to beat his clown face in like last time." Ken said.

"Okay then, I'll be using my scans to follow the trail of the bullet. Let's get moving." Batman said.

"Got it." Ky said.

The group start leaving for the courthouse.

"So, how did you end up in Arkham City?" Batman asked.

"Let's just say, we heard you needed some help again." Max said.

"C'mon, let's find that bullet's source." Shadow said as they leave the courthouse.

"Protocol Ten will commence in 10 hours." Strange said.

"We have TEN hours before trying to stop Protocol Ten?" Donald asked.

"We're on the clock, let's go." Elena said.

(Arkham City-Downtown: Park Row)

The group arrive at the park row of the downtown of Arkham City and make their way for the source of the bullet and they later come across what looks like a church but they find thugs guarding the entrance.

"That bullet came from that church?" Zatch said.

"Of all places, why a church?" Goofy asked.

"Don't know, but we'll need to be careful." Batman said.

"Man, how can that bitch Harley just leave us out here while she's all nice and warm in there?" One of the thugs asked.

"Dunno, but she's got all those do-gooder doctors held hostage." The second thug said.

"Heard one of 'em got dragged out to Joker's place. Think Joker'll get better?" The third thug asked.

"Don't count on it, I heard he's not gonna get better." The first thug said.

"So, Harley's in the church too?" Elena asked.

"That crazy bitch hasn't learned anything, has she?" Ken asked.

"But what's this about Joker not getting better? What does THAT mean?" Lucas asked.

"Who knows, but there's no doubt Quinn's got a trap set up for us." Tails said.

"Don't worry about Harley. She was never too smart." Batman said.

"I mean, she DID try to take us on and look where it got her." Sora said.

"Let's go in and give her a nice surprise." Kiyo said.

The group get past the thugs and go into the church.

(Arkham City-Church: Medical Center)

The group enter the church and they find someone cartwheeling at them.

"Comin' through, B-Man!" The figure said revealing to be Harley Quinn who is now wearing a red and black biker like outfit and she tries to deliver a strike but Batman counters and sends her to the ground.

"Never learned your lesson, have you, Harley?" Noel asked.

"Let the lady go, freaks or these people get bullets in their heads!" One of the thugs said.

"I think you should do what he says. It'd be a shame to get blood all over my new outfit. Whaddya think, Bats, like it?" Harley asked and then sees the group. "Oh, and how could I forget the losers that helped ya take out Mr. J?" Harley said.

"Yeah, we're VERY thrilled to see a floozy like you again, Quinn." Elena said.

"So, what're you and your boyfriend up to this time?" T.J. asked.

"Planning to take over the city or what?" Kiyo asked.

"Here's the deal; Mr. J is really not up to visit right now. He's not feelin' too good." Harley said.

"Was he EVER feeling good to begin with?" Sly asked.

"Well, he was feelin' himself, but you know what I mean. He's very sick and no idiot doctor's helpin' him! I've seen more smarts from bozos." Harley said.

"Whatever you're doing, you're not getting your way." Bentley said.

"Sorry, guys, but I'm busy. Gotta run, boys. If these freakshows try anythin' funny, KILL 'EM!" Harley said leaving the church.

"What a maniac." Sora said.

"We can't attack the thugs like this. We'll need a different approach." Batman said.

"Sounds good to me." Sly said taking out a smoke bomb and throws it creating smoke.

"Hey!" The first thug yelled trying to fire at the group but they're on gargoyle statues.

"They don't know where we are. Let's take 'em out without 'em knowing." Ky said.

"Four thugs and two hostages. Easy." Batman said.

The group sneak their way past the thugs and they find a thug holding a doctor hostage and so Murray gets behind and delivers a punch knocking out the thug while the others sneak behind two thugs and Tails uses his Magic Hand to deliver a punch knocking out the second thug while Ky and Noel get behind two thugs and they cast Sleep on the thugs knocking them out.

"You haven't lost your step with stealth. I'm impressed." Batman said.

"We learned from the two bests." Ky said.

"Thank God, thanks for the help, Bats." Aaron Cash said.

"With that done, we still need to find the bullet's source." Max said.

"I have an idea where it came from. Follow me." Batman said as they go for the next part of the church.

(Arkham City-Church: Bell Tower)

The group arrive at a bell tower and find a staircase and being climbing up the stairs climbing up the tower and they reach the top where they find what looks like a Joker dummy with a rifle.

"There's the gun." Batman said.

"And it was being controlled remotely by Joker." Bentley said.

Batman starts scanning the rifle and just then the monitors turn on.

"Well, look who it is. I haven't seen you for, how long has it been? Let's see, there was the asylum, some monsters, Black Xetis, Heartless, and oh, that's right, you left me to die. Now you probably don't remember it that way, but who cares? You just need to worry about the bombs." Joker said on the monitor.

"Bombs?!" Sora, Max, T.J., Zatch, Ken, and Murray asked shocked.

"Better hurry, clock's ticking." Joker said.

"Move!" Elena said as they jump out of the church window and return outside before the bomb goes off.

The bell tower explodes as most of the top is now destroyed.

"As usual, that sick clown wants our heads on a platter." Ky said.

"Alfred, I got a lock on the signal used to remotely control the rifle. Joker's behind this." Batman said.

"Was there ever any doubt?" Alfred asked.

"The radio signal should lead us right to him." Batman said.

"We'd better start finding him and now." Noel said.

"Agreed. Here." Batman said taking out communicators. " You can use these to communicate with Alfred. I made these in case we would meet again." Batman said and the group take the communicators.

"Always thinkin' ahead." Goofy said.

"Unlike a certain someone." Donald said looking at Sora.

"Donald!" Noel berated making the duck gulp.

"Let's use that radio signal and start finding Joker." Tails said and they nod.

The group start moving to follow the radio signal to find Joker and later they arrive at an area that has a sign that says 'Joker's Funland'.

"What a surprise, Joker's new hideout." Sly said.

"Let's have a few laughs with the stupid ass clown." Ken said.

"Hold on, we'll need a different approach. Alfred, I need to find a route into the Stionis Steel Mill." Batman said.

"Have you tried the front door, sir?" Alfred asked.

"That's kinda too easy." Ky said.

"And who might you be, young man?" Alfred asked.

"I'm Ky, sir. We're friends of Batman and we're helping him bust Joker, do you have a better idea of entering?" Ky asked.

"Well, let me see... If all other access routes are locked down, the only is... No it's suicide." Alfred said.

"What?" Noel asked.

"He's talking about the main chimney." Batman said looking at a chimney.

"That should be fun." Bentley said as they go for the chimney.

Batman uses his batclaw to fly into the chimney while Elena uses her magic to levitate the group into the chimney.

(Arkham City-Chimney: West Exchange)

The group are in the chimney with fire all over and they move around and they find hot coals blocking the path.

"Can I count on you to do this?" Batman asked.

"Gladly." Ky said as he, Noel, Sora, Elena, and Donald cast Blizzard to cool down the coals.

The group use the coals to climb down to the lower areas and start moving while avoiding fires and boiling lava to reach the other side of the chimney and they later arrive at the next part of the chimney.

(Arkham City-Chimney: Loading Bay)

The group arrive at the loading bay of the chimney but they find steam blocking the way and so Batman uses his batarangs to deactivate the switch to make the steams go off and they crawl into a different area where they hear thugs talking to each other and keep moving and they later see something.

"I promised you entertainment, right, boys?" A voice asked.

"Sounds like Harley." Zatch said.

"It is." Batman said.

"No, please! I did my best!" Someone said and it's a doctor.

"Well, ya shoulda tried harder! That useless quack failed to save Mr. J and you know what that means!" Harley said as the thugs surround the doctor.

"Harley!" A voice called.

"Comin', puddin'!" Harley said as she leaves.

As the thugs approach the doctor Harley comes back.

"Stop! Change of plans, take her to the smelting chamber! Mr. J wants this one to suffer a little longer. Right then, you idiots get outta here. Find that snowman and bring him back here NOW! He's gonna pay for screwin' over Mr. J. I want him back here like yesterday!" Harley ordered leaving.

"This is not good." Murray said.

The group keep crawling and they find a pipe and follow it leading them to three switches and they use the switches to deactivate the steam and keep crawling through and they find the thugs and so the group emerge from the grates to confront the thugs.

"It's the Bat!" One of the thugs said.

"And his freaks are here too!" The second thug said.

"Well, look who didn't get blown to pieces by Mr. J's lovely trap. Don't let 'em get away again, boys!" Harley ordered.

The thugs attack at the group but Ky casts Slow on them and then uses Thunder Surge followed by Fire Edge while Noel casts Aero sending the thugs upward and then casts Gravity while Sora uses Strike Raid followed by Aerial Slam while Elena casts Thunder followed by casting Earth while Ken unleashes magic music waves while Donald casts Tornado followed by casting Diamond Dust while Goofy uses Goofy Tornado while Max uses Shield Boomerang while Tails shoots lasers from his blaster while Blaze delivers flaming somersault kicks while Shadow slashes with Chaos Daggers while Storm calls down lightning while Grace tail whips while Kiyo has Zatch use Zakeruga while Lucky uses Ground Pound while T.J. throws many knives while Sly uses Stealth Cane while Bentley throws ice bombs while Murray gets into his ball form and delivers a rolling strike while Lucas uses PK Love while Batman throws Bat Grenades and they defeat all the thugs.

"Too easy." Shadow said.

"Harley, get over here!" Kiyo called.

"What the hell are you idiots doin' here? You're supposed to be DEAD!" Harley yelled.

"We're full of surprises!" T.J. said.

"Now where is Joker?" Blaze asked.

"Don't bother. There's no way you can get to Mr. J. We're safe and sound up here. You losers can stay down there and BURN!" Harley yelled leaving.

"So, Joker's holed up in the manager's office in the Steel Mill." Sly said.

"We can always find a way up there, right?" Donald asked.

"Of course we will, but first we should save the doctor." Batman said.

"You mean the one that's being sent to the smelting chamber?" Lucas asked.

"Yes. Let's find her first, then deal with Joker." Batman said.

"Man... I was so hopin' to beat the livin' crap outta him again." Ken said.

The group start moving to find the taken doctor and they find a door use it to take them to the next part of Joker's hideout.

(Arkham City-Joker's Hideout: Assembly Line)

The group arrive at the assembly line of Joker's hideout but they find many thugs guarding and so they use a conveyor belt to sneak through and they sneak to the thugs and knock them out and later get into an office where they find a grate and go into it and they find a door and use it to them to the next area.

(Arkham City-Joker's Hideout: Smelting Chamber)

The group arrive at the smelting chamber and they find more thugs and so they sneak by to knock out many thugs and after the thugs are taken out they go into the office where they find the doctor.

"Can you stand?" Batman asked.

"Give me a second. The hell's wrong with these people? That crazy woman thinks I can fix Joker." The doctor said.

"Do you know what's wrong with him?" Noel asked.

"Something in his blood, some kind of toxin. It's killing him." The doctor said.

"That sucks." Ky said.

"He blames something called Titan." The doctor said.

"From the asylum?" Lucas asked.

"You know what he's talking about? He keeps going on about his last laugh." The doctor said.

"Hey, doc, that info's supposed to be confidential!" Harley said.

"Ugh, that bitch can hear us talkin'?" Ken asked.

"Get that door nice and shut, boys. We don't want those vermin escapin'." Harley said.

"Stupid Harley." Zatch said.

"Least they won't be gettin' in. We should be safe." The doctor said.

"Wait here." Batman said finding a device.

"Listen, doc, we need to get outta here and we gotta stop Joker." Ky said.

"You'll be safer in here." Kiyo said

"You sure?" The doctor asked.

"If you hear anyone, hide." Batman said.

"We got this." Ky said.

The group find a grate and get into it to crawl out of the smelting chamber and return to the assembly line where they find the thugs sealing up the door and so the group defeat the thugs easily and return to the loading bay.

"Protocol Ten will commence in 9 hours." Strange said.

"Now it's NINE hours?" Sora asked.

"We don't have time to screw around." Elena said.

The group find Harley.

"How'd you escape?" Harley asked.

"We're smarter than you." Lucas said.

"Harley, stop screwin' around! I'm dying!" Joker's voice said.

"Hurry!" Blaze said.

Batman uses his remote electric charger to move a hook around and makes it hit the upper door exposing the way in.

"Let's get moving." Noel said.

"What is wrong with you people?! You come to Mr. J's place, smash stuff into pieces, and he's almost dying! Leave us alone!" Harley yelled.

"Not today!" Elena said but then Werewolf Black Xetis appear.

"Black Xetis?!" Sly asked.

"Here?!" Shadow asked.

"Oh, yeah, our old friends, the Black Xetis are gonna teach ya some manners!" Harley said.

"I don't have time for this!" Batman said using his batclaw to reach the upper door.

"Guys, we can't ignore the Black Xetis." T.J. said.

"Yeah, let's get 'em!" Donald said.

(Information: Defeat the Black Xetis!)

The Werewolf Black Xetis attack with their claws and fangs but Ky casts Zero Gravity to hold them in the air and then aerial slashes with Dawn of Hope followed by a double aerial horizontal slash while Noel vertical slashes with Radiant Salvation followed by Fire Cartwheel while Sora delivers four slashes with Wheel of Fate followed by speed slashes and then delivers a blade stand kick attack while Elena unleashes magic blades and sends them to strike while Ken rains down magic music arrows while Donald casts Duck Flare followed by casting Explosion while Goofy uses Goofy Charge while Max uses Cyclone while Tails throws ring bombs while Blaze uses Fire Tornado while Shadow throws Chaos Arrows while Storm uses Volt Tackle while Grace uses Snarl while Kiyo has Zatch use Zakeruga while Lucky uses Egg Throw while T.J. multi slashes with his knife while Sly uses Dive Attack while Bentley sends droids to attack while Murray uses Flame Punch while Lucas uses PK Flash and they defeat all the Black Xetis.

"Bats is up there." Tails said.

"Let's go." Sora said as they get to the upper door.

Meanwhile Batman approaches Harley who's crying.

"You!" Harley yelled.

"Out of my way, Quinn." Batman said.

"Leave us alone, B-Man! Just leave me with him." Harley said.

"I said MOVE!" Batman said shoving Harley aside.

"This is all YOUR fault! You hounded him for years, beat him to a pulp and for what? Why are you mean?" Harley asked.

"Surprise!" Joker said getting behind Batman and unleashes gas. "You fell for the old fake Joker gag, Batman." Joker said.

"Batter up!" Harley said as she attacks Batman with her bat knocking Batman out.
