Chapter four: Showdown
The trio of Rolento, Batman and Robin tore down the streets of Gotham City, chasing after fleeing Harley Quinn, who had took off while the trio were fighting her thugs.
After chasing Harley for about five minutes, the trio noticed her rush towards an old warehouse, open the door and disappear inside. Rolento, Batman and Robin watched from a distance.
"That must be where the Joker is hiding." Rolento said.
"We should've known that Joker would hide there." Robin said. "Old, abandoned warehouses are pretty much the only places he hides."
"Well, we're not doing any good just standing out here." Batman stated. "Let's go in."
The trio rushed over to the door, only to find it locked. Batman pulled a couple of devices from his belt.
"Uh, Batman? Do you really think we should use the Bat Charges?" Robin asked. "Joker knows where on the door we place them. I think he'd be prepared."
"Then why don't we blow the door open a different way, comrade?" Rolento grinned as he pulled a grenade from his pocket, pulled the pin and set the grenade by the bottom of the door.
Rolento, Batman and Robin got out of the way just as the grenade went off, sending the door flying off its hinges.
The trio ran to the doorway and looked inside the warehouse. The door was lying on the floor, and underneath it, unconscious, was a thug. A machine gun was lying on the floor close by. It didn't take anyone long to realize that the Joker was planning to ambush them. Batman looked down at the thug, then looked around the warehouse.
"Joker!" Batman called out. "Come on out, Joker!"
"I'm back here, bats!" Joker's voice replied, laughing.
The trio spun around and found themselves staring at another door. Rolento grinned.
"May I?" Rolento asked Batman politely.
"Of course." Batman replied.
Rolento pulled another grenade from his pocket, pulled the pin and hurled it at the door. The grenade exploded, knocking the door over. Behind the door was Joker, Harley and one of Joker's thugs. All three of them looked surprised. Joker suddenly grabbed his thug back the shirt and pulled him to his face.
"Dudley! You didn't warn me he had grenades!" Joker shouted.
"Uh...That's 'Stanley', boss." The thug corrected before Joker tossed him aside.
"Boys!" The Joker shouted. "Let's take these guys on!"
Suddenly, Joker was joined by twelve more thugs as they all surrounded the trio.
"We'll each take four thugs." Batman said.
"Gotcha." Robin replied.
Each of the three heroes went to a separate group of thugs, while the Joker focused on fighting Batman.
Rolento was swinging his battle staff around, clobbering the four thugs that were fighting him multiple times.
One thug grabbed hold of Rolento and started squeezing him while the other three started delivering punches to Rolento's stomach. After three seconds of being punched, Rolento broke free of the thug's grip, jumped into the air and kicked one of the thugs in the face. While in midair, Rolento swung his battle stick, striking two more of the thugs in the faces. All three thugs were knocked out. With one more swing of the staff, the final thug was brought to the floor.
Rolento looked over at Batman and Robin. Both crime fighters had already taken down all of the thugs. The Joker was the only one left standing.
"Heh. I'm impressed." The Joker said as a small drop of blood came from his mouth because of his little bout with Batman. "However, I WILL have the last laugh!"
The Joker squeezed the flower on his jacket, spraying acid at Rolento. Rolento stepped out of the way as the acid hit the floor beside him. Batman and Robin countered by throwing their boomerang-styled objects at Joker. They both struck the villain, but they didn't seem to do much damage.
The Joker reached into his pocket and pulled out five flowers. He tossed them all at the trio.
Rolento knew exactly what kind of flowers these were, so the soldier avoided the flowers as they exploded on the ground. Rolento rolled a grenade at Joker, and it exploded near his feet. Joker was knocked against the wall due to the explosion. Joker slowly got to his feet.
"Ugh..." The Joker said, holding onto his head. "Very good, Schugerg. I should've seen that one coming."
Joker reached over and pressed a button on a strap attached to his wrist. The trio of crime fighters heard an electronic noise coming from the shadows. The trio spun around and saw three jack-in-the-boxes come out of the shadows. The heads of the toys were faces of the Joker in a jester hat. The boxes were purple and green striped. Fire spewed from the mouths of all three toys as they approached Rolento, Batman and Robin.
"Robin, let's use the electric batarangs." Batman said to his young sidekick.
"Way ahead of you, Batman." Robin replied as both he and Batman threw a different kind of 'batarang' at two of the toys. Upon impact, the toys exploded.
Rolento tossed a grenade at the third jack-in-the-box, and when the toy ran over it, it exploded. The third toy's remains scattered everywhere.
The three crime fighters looked back at the Joker, and saw that he was trying to escape to a higher floor via ladder. Rolento narrowed his eyes.
"Not today, comrade!" Rolento muttered as he pulled back his arm and hurled his battle staff at the fleeing jester.
The battle staff clobbered Joker in the back of the head. The Joker lost consciousness and let go of the ladder. Luckily, he hadn't climbed up very high, so the impact on the floor wasn't so hard. Seeing her boss unconscious, Harley freaked out and rushed from her hiding place. Harley knelt down beside the Joker.
"Mistah J! Mistah J!" Harley cried before turned towards Rolento. "HOW COULD YOU DO THIS?! WHY, WHEN I'M THROUGH WITH YOU, YOU"LL HAVE TO EAT THROUGH A STRAW!!"
Robin rolled his eyes and, without looking, threw a batarang at Harley, clobbering her in the forehead, knocking her out.
After Rolento called them, the police arrived five minutes later. After the police took Joker, Harley and all of Joker's thugs away, Rolento turned to Batman and Robin.
"I must thank you for coming to help me back there, comrades." Rolento said. "If you two hadn't shown up, I probably wouldn't have been able to defeat that clown."
"Don't mention it, mister." Robin replied. "We figured you'd need help fighting someone as dangerous as the Joker."
"How did you know I was going to fight the Joker in the first place?" Rolento asked, raising an eyebrow.
"We're friends of Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson." Batman replied. "They told us everything, Mr. Schugerg."
Rolento looked at Batman with wide eyes.
"How did you know my last name, comrade?" Rolento asked.
"Well, Bruce and Dick told us about you, but even if they didn't, we still would've know who you were." Robin stated.
"Why is that, comrade?" Rolento asked.
"The Street Fighters are very popular here in Gotham City." Batman replied. "But by far, you are the most popular, Rolento. You'll find that you have many, many fans during your stay here."
Rolento stared at Batman and Robin with wide eyes. Could that be true? A whole city liking him more than any of the other Street Fighters? Was that even possible?
"Well, once again, I thank you for your assistance, comrades." Rolento said. "I hope that we'll cross paths again before I leave."
"Maybe so, Rolento." Robin said. "Take care." With that, he and Batman ran off, leaving Rolento alone in the streets. Rolento walked back to Wayne Manor.
When Rolento got back to Wayne Manor, Bruce and Dick greeted him.
"Hey, Rolento!" Dick exclaimed. "Did you find the Joker?"
"Not only that, comrade Dick," Rolento said. "Batman and Robin helped me defeat him."
"Really?" Bruce said, raising an eyebrow. "Come inside. You can tell us all about it." He then led Rolento into the mansion as he and Dick closed the front door.
Rolento stayed in Gotham City for two more days. During that time, he quickly found out that Batman wasn't exaggerating when he said Rolento had many fans. Rolento was swarmed with fangirls and teenage boys, all asking him for an autograph. Some teenagers had come up to Rolento and said that they wanted to try out to become Street Fighters and they showed off their fighting styles and moves. Rolento didn't think some of them were even that bad, and said that they'd have to journey to Japan to try out. Even some adults were lining up to meet him. Rolento didn't mind this in the slightest, though. He had never had a fan before. Soon, however, Rolento's two days in Gotham City were up and he had to go back to Metro City. Rolento had bid farewell to Commissioner Gordon, Alfred and the rest of Gotham City. The only people left were Bruce and Dick. Rolento placed his firm hands on Bruce and Dick's shoulders and smiled warmly.
"Comrades, I can't thank you enough for your hospitality." Rolento said. "If there's any way to make it up, please let me know."
"Just promise you'll come back to Gotham City sometime." Bruce said.
"That's a promise, comrade Wayne." Rolento said before turning to Dick, his first fan. "You take care of yourself, comrade Dick."
"Oh, I WILL, Rolento!" Dick said.
Rolento bid both his friends a final farewell as he left to board his plane back to Metro City. While boarding the plane, Rolento thought about Batman and Robin, the two who had come to his aid and helped him bring down the Joker. Rolento said one phrase before sitting down in his seat.
"I wonder who they really are..."

Author's notes: Finished! Sorry if you think I rushed this final chapter. But I have these great ideas for three more fanfictions (two of which are in different areas) and I want to start work on them. You see, I have this thing about working on more than one fanfiction at a time...I just can't keep up (BELIEVE me, I've tried writing two fanfictions at once). Anyway, please read and review.
