Chapter 19: Nature Always Wins!
Ivy was going to a spot that was right under Wayne International Plaza where an ancient forgotten plant lay dormant just waiting for new life to come. She began to use The Green to communicate with it. "For so long you have been buried under concrete and rubble, my darling. Now, with that bitch Dr. Young's formula, you will have the strength to break through that which has driven you down into the ground and become stronger than ever!", she told the plant. She took out the formula which was in a syringe and injected it into the plant. The plant began to wake up and grow big and strong. It rose up through the streets of Gotham and began to flourish greatly, but also gained a monstrous appearance. It let out a loud roar as it toppled some of the tall buildings. "It's working!", Ivy said in joy. She injected the serum into more of her plants and they joined the one above ground as far as turning into giant plant monsters. One of the plants carried Ivy up to the city so she could see what was going on. She was overjoyed as she saw her plants dominating the island and seeing the remaining citizens that didn't evacuate run for their lives. She saw Gordon and the GCPD standing their ground. "Holy shit! What are we gonna do, Jim?", Bullock asked. "I don't know yet.", Gordon said at a loss for words. "You can't stop us, Gordon! My babies will tear Gotham to shreds and begin anew in the beautiful jungle that this city will become!", Ivy threatened. "You're insane, Ivy! Even if we won't stop you, Batman will!", Gordon said. "Even he and his friends are no match for Mother Nature! Nature always wins!", Ivy said. Her TITAN plants began to grow even bigger and stronger and destroyed even more buildings. "Where the hell is Batman, Jim?", Bullock asked. "I have no ide!.", Gordon responded. Meanwhile, Batman and his friends felt the earth trembling in the tunnels. "What the hell was that?", Kristoff asked. "Most likely it isn't anything good!", Sven said. "Shit! Ivy must be using the formula on the plants. We gotta get back up to the city!", Jacob said. "How are we gonna do that really quick?", Anna asked. They all then felt a rumbling right below them and another plant burst up from the ground and carried them all back up to the city. "Looks like our prayers were answered!", Elsa said. "Looks like the action is going on a few blocks over!", Harley said. "Let's go, guys!", Olaf said. "I think this a job for The Lemur! I'm going to make a quick change!", Jacob said. "Alright, but hurry up.", Batman said as Jacob left to change and the rest went to save the cops. Ivy and her plants were still attacking the GCPD brigade before they got to the other islands. "Ivy!", Batman yelled to get her attention. Ivy looked down and saw the Dark Knight himself. "Ah, Batman! I'm so glad you could be here to witness Gotham's rebirth as Nature's kingdom. You will watch as your beloved city is torn down after all the years you spent trying to protect the murderers and polluters of the environment.", Ivy teased him. "I won't let that happen! You won't win!", Batman said. "Seems like I already have! You can't stop me all on your own!", Ivy said. "He's not alone! He has us to stop you!", Elsa said as she, Anna, Olaf, Kristoff, and Sven showed up to confront her. "I'm surprised to see you here, Elsa. I thought a good girlfriend would be mourning over the loss of the one she loves.", Ivy teased. "Because she didn't lose me! I'm right here!", Jacob said as he stood between Batman and Elsa and was now in his Lemur attire. Ivy couldn't believe that she saw him alive after her poison kiss killed him. "H...How is this possible?! I killed you! Nobody can survive my toxic kiss!", Ivy said in disbelief. "Elsa saved me. Her frosty breath cleared the toxins out of my body and gave me life again.", Jacob explained. Ivy looked at Elsa and said, "Looks like I underestimated you, sweetie! You saved your little lover boy. You guys got anything else against me?", she asked. Harley then showed up and said, "They got me and my boys.". Some of Harley's goons showed up behind her. Ivy was also in disbelief and slightly angry when she saw her best friend siding with her enemies. "Harley, what the hell are you doing siding with them?! I thought we were friends!", Ivy said. "I was going to let you go through with it at first, but I decided to do the right thing for once.", Harley said. "Don't do this, Harley! Don't get in my way, or I'll have to hurt you.", Ivy warned. "Sorry, Red. No can do!", Harley said. "Fine! Then you'll all be dead and buried!", Ivy said angrily. Het TITAN plants began to get ready to fight. "Gordon, we got this! Get more people off of the other islands just in case her plants reach there.", Batman said. "Got it! Roll out, boys!", Gordon said as they left. "I also have backup!", Ivy said as she used her powers to command flytraps to come up from the ground. The flytraps opened and out came several brainwashed thugs and citizens ready to do Ivy's bidding. "Kill them, my darlings!", Ivy instructed them. "Yes, Ivy!", they all said in unison. The heroes then all got ready for a fight as they got in their battle stances. "Let's do this, guys!", Jacob said as they were about to finish this.
