The group started to make their way to the GCR tower. It wasn't even that far from their current position, just a block or two away. They stopped a rooftop before the main one when they saw a group of criminals guarding the tower. As the criminals were chatting among us themselves, the heroes were able to latch on the edge of the roof.
Batman gave a nod to the others and they engaged the group of criminals took them down. With that done with, they made their way to a door that led to the central terminal, but it wouldn't open and then they heard Enigma's voice.
"Well, look who just showed up." Enigma said. "Have you all really decided to take me on? Get to it. Then I'm looking forward to watching you fall."
"I hate that man. I really do." Cat Noir said in agitation.
"Why, because he's more funny with his puns than you are?" Ladybug teased.
"Oh ha ha," Cat Noir said, "well I can easily destroy this, so stand back." As he was about to go and use his power, a hand was put on his shoulder and he was saw Batman looking at him.
"Not everything can be solved with a power." Batman told him. "There are times when you have to think around the problem, and look for a different angle."
Batman then saw the conjunction box that powered the gate on the other side, and then saw that the only accessible part was a hole that had electricity flowing through it. Then he got out a special batarang that allowed him to control the movement of it. He threw and started to guide the batarang through the hole, charging it with electricity and continued to guide it towards the box, destroying it and allowing them to enter.
"Typical." Enigma said. "I mean, why apply cognitive resources to a problem when you can just throw crap at it?"
Batman then opened the gate door before opening up the metal door by breaking the lock on it.
"You know," Enigma decided to chip in, "If you had asked nicely, then I would've opened it for you."
"Is he usually this annoying?" Rena Rouge asked.
"You have no idea." Batman answered, and then ripped the cover off the panel. Then entered the password on his Sequencer and the tower allowed him to not only be able to track down the Penguin but allowed the Batwing to be flown here as well. Then Enigma appeared on the screen of the Sequencer.
"Congratulations are in order." Enigma said. "Maybe you all are not as stupid as I've been led to believe. Well, most of you." Even through the screen, he was clearly looking at Cat Noir and King Monkey.
"Why are you doing this, Enigma?" Ladybug asked.
"Direct, I like it." Enigma said. "So I'll tell you. Gotham is sullied. It's filled with brutes who control this city through violence and intimidation."
"That doesn't answer the question." Batman said.
"Because you didn't let me finish!" Enigma snapped before regaining his composure. "I want to get rid of them, heroes. To improve Gotham's intellectual and moral standing. But I'm not a thug like all of you. My approach is a bit more refined."
"What you're doing is no different than stealing. There's nothing refined about it." Batman said.
"Your response is as predictable as it is banal. Goodbye." Enigma said, before he cut off the signal.
"Now we can access that SIM card we took from that arms dealer and hack Penguin's communications." Batman told the group. "Listen for a signal."
"Roger." The group said. Then Batman got his Sequencer and started to adjust the controls to hear for a signal. While the group mostly heard the GCPD comms, they heard something else. Another communication line.
"Right there," Ladybug said, "I hear something. I think it's Penguin's communication line."
Batman then started to hack the comms she was hearing, but it sounded more static than voices. After hacking the communication line, the voices became clearer.
"Yeah, Penguin's pretty pissed about the deal." A voice said.
"Yeah, if I was involved with that, I'd be on my way out of the city." Another voice said. Batman then decided to call Alfred.
"Alfred," Batman said, "we're reading a signal form Penguin's men, but it's not associated with any known wireless frequency."
"Ah, yes. I see it here." Alfred said. "Looks like Penguin runs his own private wireless network using laptop transmitters serving as ad hoc com systems. He's feeding his men frequencies via two-way radio. There are two of these com stations near your position."
"Good, mark them on my map. If we can find and hack those walkie talkies, we can triangulate Penguin's position." Then the heroes took off to the transmitters.
It took a little bit but they finally made it to the first transmitter and saw a group of Penguin's men guarding it. They were talking amongst themselves about a fight in the Boiler Deck and about fighting styles, that they didn't notice the heroes on the roof above their heads.
"Well, looks like these guys are interested in some fight club." Carapace said.
"Then let's give them a lesson, my friend." Pegasus replied. They then fell down and quickly took out the bad guys and then Batman went up to the transmitter.
"I'm going to hack the comms. Listen for a signal." Batman said. They listened as Batman tried to find the correct comms. When he did, he hacked it and they heard voices.
"... the Bat man and a bunch of kids?" Penguin's voice was heard. "You expect me to believe that? Listen, I happen to know that the Bat Man's got way more important things to do tonight than mess with our shipment. And those kids are way past their bedtime I'd say."
"Wow, he even sounds like a douche." Ryuko said.
"We need to find the next comms station, then we'll be able to triangulate Penguin's position." Batman said. The group took off as Penguin's conversation was still heard.
"Mr. Cobblepot." One of Penguin's men said. "I swear it was the Bat. He and those kids dropped Ricky off the roof of the clock tower straight into the Christmas tree."
"Yes we did. Good times, good times." Stinger sighed.
"I don't care what you think you saw." Penguin got mad. "If you're not back here with my money in the next ten minutes, I'll cut your damn eyeballs out. And then, you won't have to worry about seeing anything ever again. Is that clear?"
"Yes, Mr. Cobblepot. I'm sorry, Mr. Cobblepot." The man responded.
"Man, I feel bad for whoever works for someone like him. But only a bit." Viperion said.
The group kept going to next location and saw that a bunch of guys are equipped with guns this time.
Batman ordered Ladybug, Rena Rouge and Pegasus to silently sneak behind the ones below while he dealt with the ones up higher. Silently but quickly, they were able to knock out the guards and they met at the computer where he started to hack the last transmitter. When it was complete, they were now able to locate Penguin, all the while his radio was on and they heard what he said next.
"All right everyone, listen up." Penguin said. "I know I oughtta cancel our annual Boiler Deck fights after what happened tonight at Jezebel Plaza. But just to show what a nice guy I am, the fights are still on. So get yourselves to the ship if you want in on this."
"Ship? What does he mean ship?" King Monkey asked.
Batman looked at the map projected on his gauntlet and saw Penguin's location and said, "There you are. Onboard the Final Offer."
"That's where he is?" Ladybug asked.
"Penguin's been hiding out on an old ship. No wonder he's been so hard to find." Batman said.
"Well, let's not be tardy to the party." Cat Noir joked. They made their way to the Final Offer ship and saw it was littered with snipers.
"Penguin's got snipers out. We'll have to take the snipers down silently to proceed."
"And I have just the thing to mask us." Rena said, getting her flute ready. She played her flute as a orb of orange power appeared on the end. She said, "Mirage!" and in a flash the heroes, save for Batman, turned into illusions of Penguin's men.
Batman took out a sniper that was on a flagpole and decided to let the kids try this, to see how each of them deals with this. As he was watching the kids, the snipers were talking.
"So, who's the outside challenger this year?" A criminal asked.
"Some guy... Buchinsky." Another answered.
"Oh yeah. I heard of him. Big guy with a big mouth. Calls himself... Electric.?" Another said.
"You guys hear that?" Batman asked.
"Yeah." Ladybug said. "It appears Electrocutioner is here as well."
"Which makes him a possible lead to Black Mask." Ryuko said.
"If he's willing to communicate." Batman said.
"Not like he has an option." Stinger said.
Soon the snipers were dealt with, and the heroes were able to enter the ship, save Rena Rouge, who went off to the side and detransformed into Alya. She fed Trixx and transformed back into Rena Rouge.
Whatever came next for them, they would beat together, no matter what.
Question for you guys: should I make the fight against Electrocutioner longer than it was, or still keep it a One Hit knockout? While I personally love Arkham Origins, this was the only let down I had. But other than that, as usual, let me know your thoughts.
