"Muahahahahahaha! I have just created the formula for most powerful being ever," Dr Bane shouted maniacally even though no one was around to hear him. Dr Bane had found Dr Woodrue's lab deep in the South American rainforest. Dr Bane had just finished making Venom II, a million times more powerful than the original Venom Dr Woodrue had created. Dr Woodrue had left many things on the ground, a suit exactly the same as the original Bane's and most importantly, a small vial of Venom. Dr Bane's Venom II didn't affect intelligence, but it had one side effect, it only need to be injected once but top up injections would make the effect much more potent. He had one problem though, he need someone to try it on.

A teenager named Harris Isley, of about 15, was walking round a village deep in the South American jungle. His father was a doctor who was helping people in nearby villages and his mother was a scientist who disappeared about 5 years ago. As he was walking round, he heard a rustle in a nearby bush. Being an inquisitive boy, he looked towards where the sound came from and saw a thin, haggard man. The man told Harris that he would like to show him a new invention of his. Harris agreed and followed him into the jungle. On the way through the jungle, the man told Harris his name was Dr Bane. They came to an abandoned looking lab. As he entered, he walked passed a door, which had his mother's name on it, Dr Pamela Isley. "That's my mother's lab," he said to Dr Bane. Dr Bane didn't listen and took him through a door to what looked like an operating theatre. Dr Bane pulled out a large drill and drilled five holes into Harris' skull. Harris' screams echoed across the rainforest. Harris was told to lie face down on the table in the centre. Dr Bane laid down a suit next to him and put a strange mask on Harris' face. The mask covered his eyes but had eyeholes that would never go over his eyes, he thought. The mask had a strange smell. Harris had no idea what was about to happen to him.

Dr Bane pulled out a large tube filled with Venom II. He pushed the tube through the largest hole in Harris' head. Nothing happened at first but Harris felt very strange. Then Dr Bane noticed Harris' legs were growing huge muscles and turning a sickly green from the Venom II, but then it started to happen to his whole body making his a huge hulking mass of flesh.

Harris felt that his muscles had became huge and tried to take off the mask. The mask had fused with his face. Harris felt limp and weak from the transformation, so Dr Bane stuffed him into the Bane II suit. When Harris strength returned, he stood up and looked in the huge mirror on the wall. "Hello, Bane II," Dr Bane said slyly.

Harris knew he was no longer Harris but Bane II. An immense feeling of rage overcame him and he smashed the table that he had laid on and started destroying the lab. Dr Bane tried to stop him but had his back broken and died very soon after.

Bane II found a huge vat of Venom II and he jumped into it. The Venom II started reacting with him. His muscles became even huger, which ripped the suit he was wearing into shreds. When the vat of Venom II was empty, Bane II looked at the sides of the container and saw he was a horrific monster. He climbed out of the vat and looked for another suit. When he walked around when something caught his eye. It was a piece of newspaper. The headline was Batman stops Poison Ivy and Scarecrow. He read the article and saw that Poison Ivy was also Pamela Isley. He put the paper under his arm. It brought a shiver down his spine and he ran to get a suit again. He searched everywhere until he finally found where the suits were kept. He saw a huge one that he saw would fit him. He put it on and realised that five tubes came from the suit. He felt no pain as he put the tubes through the holes in his head and began to look for more Venom II for he needed to fill up his suit. He saw another large vat of Venom II in the corner. He put the tube from the bottom of the tank into his suit. His suit filled up rapidly, so he pulled the tube away from his suit and turned it off. He tried to find a phone but couldn't, so he left the laboratory and started for the nearest large city. It was easy for him even though it was 100 km away and through thick jungle.

As the city came into sight, he put on a gigantic trench coat and hat. As he walked along, he was given many strange looks until he finally found a phone. He hadn't talked since his transformation and his voice was deep and gravelly. It gave him a shock and he hung up instantly. He then tried again and this time he booked the soonest flight to Gotham City. The flight was in 3 hours.

Bane II rushed to the airport and got his ticket. Then he went into the male toilets and took off his trench coat and hat and went to the toilet. As he left the toilets, he forgot to put his disguise on. Screams rang around him. People fainted and fell to the floor. He rushed back inside and put on his disguise. There was a scene of chaos outside of the toilets and airport security was there. One guard walked up to him and asked him, "Did you see anyone strange walk out of the toilets?" Bane II shook his head and walked to the terminal and bought a Batman comic, The Vengeance Of Bane. It was about the original Bane. He started reading it and by the time he had finished the comic, it was time for the flight to board. He quickly made his way to the gate and boarded the aeroplane. The aeroplane was nearly empty and Bane II quickly found his seat. He ripped the in-flight magazine to shreds and took a quick swig of his Venom II. The plane took off and landed at Gotham City safely.

Bane II left the airport and started his quest to find Poison Ivy, otherwise known as Pamela Isley, his mother. Bane II spent weeks looking for his mother until he finally found an old newspaper in a rubbish bin, which revealed the secret. Arkham Asylum was where his mother was being kept. He knew Arkham Asylum was like a fortress. How do penetrate it another matter but with his newfound strength he could get through the walls, but he knew he wasn't a one-man army, he need support.

The city itself was a crime haven, so Bane II had no trouble rounding up an army of criminals and thugs. It was time for an assault on the fortress.

Bane II and his army reached the outer walls of the asylum and Bane II smashed the front gate and charged in with his army.

Bane II rushed through the asylum and found his mother's cell. It was with a man named Johnathon Crane. Bane II charged in and saw the two in combat. He shouted STOP and the two stopped fighting and looked at him. "What are you doing here?" Scarecrow inquired coldly. Poison Ivy tried to seduce Bane II, but Bane II said, "Mother, don't you recognise me?" "Harris, what happened to you?" "A man named Dr Bane took me and tried to transform me into the ultimate killing machine. He succeeded," said Bane II. "This cannot be tolerated. What happened to him?" Poison Ivy asked. "I killed him." "That is good. Now we must leave this place. You should come too, Scarecrow. It just wouldn't be right if you were left here." Scarecrow, Poison Ivy and Bane II left Arkham Asylum.

Scarecrow and Poison Ivy showed Bane II around Gotham City. The tour ended at the abandoned subway tunnel entrance. Bane II smashed through the metal plating covering the entrance. Bane II blocked the tunnel and sealed the entrance. It would keep Batman out for a while, while they planned.

"I know we scare Bat-Nutcase out of his wits and get Bane II to smash his Bat-Brains out," said Scarecrow. "It seems a bit crude, you know Scarecrow," replied Poison Ivy. "I am not just a mindless machine, you know," Bane II added in, "I am a great mind, too. Here's the plan. Scarecrow, you create a distraction. Poison Ivy, you and I will kill the Batboy."

Scarecrow left the meeting and went back to his hideout. He was secretly plotting to kill Bane II and Poison Ivy.
