Chapter 20: A Freeze Has Come
Ivy's plants began to shoot fireballs at the heroes while her brainwashed henchmen started to charge after them. Jacob used his lemur boots to jump high enough over them and knock them to the ground. Batman began to beat the living hell out of them with his fists as did Anna, Kristoff, and Sven with Olaf on his back. Harley began to hit them with her bat and her goons began to fight them as well. Ivy's plants began to eat Harley's henchmen leaving Harley alone with the others. "Sick!", Anna said as she saw the plants devour her men. "They were all dumbasses anyway!", Harley said. One of the plants spit a fireball at Harley while she didn't notice that. Jacob saw this and yelled, "Harley, look out!". Jacob lunged forward and got Harley out of the way in the nick of time. "Are you alright?", he asked as he was on top of her. Harley was shocked at what just happened and said, "Yeah, thanks.". They got up and got back in the fight. Elsa was throwing ice blast after ice blast at the plants which temporarily froze them, but not for long. Ivy could feel the plants' pain as she hit them with her blasts. "Stop it! You're hurting them!", Ivy yelled at Elsa. "That's the point!", Elsa sarcastically replied with an angry look on her face. "You little bitch! You and your family will all die at the hands of my plants!", Ivy threatened. One guy was about to kill Batman while he was distracted with another when Harley knocked him out with her bat. Batman turned around and was surprised that Harley just saved his life after everything that happened between them ever since Arkham City. "Thanks, Quinn.", Batman said. "Don't flatter yourself, B-Man!", Harley responded. The brainwashed henchmen were all knocked out now leaving only the huge monster plants left. Batman had an idea and hit a button on his gauntlet. "What are you doing?", Harley asked. "Evening the odds.", Batman answered. The Batmobile then came roaring and he jumped into it. He got into battle mode and began to fire his rounds at the plants. The plants cried out in pain as the rounds and missiles were shot into them. "You and your allies will soon be extinct, Batman! My plants will be the dominant species in this cruel world and there's nothing you can possibly do to stop us!', Ivy shouted. The plants used both their tendrils and fireballs on the Batmobile, but the tank-like vehicle easily dodged the attacks. Elsa was about to shoot another ice blast at the plants but stopped when another ice blast came out of nowhere and hit the plants. Elsa was stunned at what just happened since that did not come from her. "Nice shot, Elsa!", Olaf said. "Thanks, but I didn't do that.", Elsa said. "What? Then who did?", Anna asked. Kristoff looked behind them and looked freaked out. "Uh, guys. I think it was from him. The heroes looked behind them and were all shocked at who they saw. They saw none other than Mr. Freeze himself whose cold gun just emitted a blast that hit the mutated plants. "Mr. Freeze!", Jacob said. "That's Mr. Freeze?", Elsa asked him. "Yeah, but I don't know what he's doing here.", Jacob answered. Everyone including Batman, Harley, and Ivy seemed really surprised to see Freeze. Batman got out of the Batmobile to greet his frozen friend. "You look like you needed some help, Batman. And I'm here to give you it.", Freeze said. "What are you doing here, Victor?", Batman asked. "As I said, I'm here to help you. I owe you after all you've done for both me and Nora before she died. Besides I still have a settle to score with Poison Ivy after that one time she stole her away from me for leverage.", Freeze said while coldly staring up at Ivy. Ivy who was still on her huge monster plants said, "It wasn't anything personal, Freeze. I just wanted your research on how to keep plants alive in frigid temperatures and I didn't know how else for you to cooperate.", Ivy said. "You will pay dearly for that, Ivy! You won't get away with destroying Gotham!", Freeze said. "Sweet! Now we have old Freezy on our side along with our ice queen!", Harley said. Freeze looked and saw Elsa and said, "Ah, yes. I've heard about you. It's nice to finally meet you. I do find it fascinating that you have powers over all things cold without having any sort of mutation like me.", Freeze said. "It's good to meet you too, Mr. Freeze. But it would probably be better for us to get better acquainted after we take down this tree hugging psycho.", Elsa said. "Agreed!", Freeze said. "Well, Victor, you'll soon be reunited with your wife. In Hell!", Ivy taunted. "I'll turn your plants to solid ice, Ivy! Just like the ice in your veins!", Freeze said as he got his ice gun ready. "He's right! Let's finish this, guys!', Kristoff said as the fight continued.
