Here we go with the sixth chapter and before I begin I wanted to say something. I won't be able to update my Pokemon, Digimon, and Power Rangers/Star Wars stories since I am suffering from some writer's block. However, I will get to them when I can and for now I am going to upload these chapters for this story to keep everyone happy. At least until I get back to work on my other stories.

So, please be patient everyone and sorry this happened. Anyways, I want to thank everyone for the support of the story and I appreciate the help of my friends on this. So last time we have our hero Batman or at least Daniel meet up with an old love interest, while also meeting Anakin. He took off and trouble is looming four our heroes in the form of bounty hunters.

How will things go in this chapter? Will our heroes stop whatever is heading their way? Who is laying the trap out for Batman? And who is with Cad Bane?

Check out the chapter to find out. I don't own anything of the DC or Star Wars universe just my OCs. Enjoy the third chapter everyone and I hope you like it. Also: Bold- means thoughts & Italic- will mean what an alien is saying in their native language.

Chapter VI

Coruscant

Dinner went as well as Padme had hoped it would go. Thankfully she got Anakin to stop asking her so many questions and Abigail was able to help her also by asking Anakin about some questions. Some involving his adventures during the war and how she heard he was the youngest podracer. It helped keep him busy and it appeared to be making both her friends friendly with one another.

"Wait, so despite your engine being damaged you found a way to fix it while you were still racing? That's impressive for someone at a young age to think of that," said Abigail who found herself enjoying hearing the story of how Anakin won his podrace from years ago.

"Well, when you worked at a shop where they sell parts to podracers, for ships, or even repair even droids then you learn a thing or two that can help you during any situation," said Anakin who knew what he said is true, especially during important missions. "So, once I got my engine repaired I caught up to Sebulba as we got close to the end of the race. However, he rammed his pod against mine trying to take me out, until his got tangled with mine."

"Really?" Abigail then turns towards Padme. "Were you worried for him?"

Padme nods in response. "Yes, I was worried he was going to get hurt or worse. After all he had done for us, I wanted him to make it out of that race in one piece."

"Which I did," said Anakin as he continued with his story. "I managed to get untangled, but Sebulba's engine got damaged and he crashed. I won the race, got the money needed to help pay for the parts, and we got off the planet."

"That is impressive," said Abigail who enjoyed the story. "I'm not into the whole podracing thing, but to hear how a young boy was able to win it all catches my interest."

"And what exactly are you interested?" Anakin asked.

"Well, I prefer helping people and making inventions that doesn't destroy. One invention I am currently working on is something that can help protect planets from invasions from orbit," Abigail replied without going into full details.

"You mean using a similar protect like on I-ego?" Padme asked since a lot of the people in the Republic know of what happened on the planet and why so many ships were never heard from again when they went there.

Abigail shook her head in response. "Something non-lethal, but of course it isn't ready yet since we need a power source, which I am working on as well. A pure clean energy that can power cities for an entire planet without any harm."

"I think that is a fantastic idea," said Padme who liked the idea of an energy source that won't harm people.

Anakin had to admit that did sound like a good idea. He remembers how dangerous the mission was to I-ego when they were trying to get the cure for the Blue Shadow Virus and how they almost got killed while trying to get off the planet.

"I assume this is an invention you might consider giving to the Republic?"

She shrugs her shoulders. "As long as the Chancellor doesn't try weaponized it then yes. It will help protect a lot of planets and keep them safe during time of war."

"And if they fall in the wrong hands?" Padme asked wondering what would happen if such a invention could fall into the hands of the Separatist.

"Then I will deal with it by shutting it…" Abigail stopped when she heard something.

Anakin was about to ask what was wrong, but then begins sensing something nearby. Out of instinct he tackles both women down as a loud explosion erupted nearby.

Once he regained his senses he looks around to see where the source of the explosion came from and takes out his lightsaber. "Are you two okay?"

Padme coughed before she nods her head. "I'm okay, Abigail, are you all right?"

Abigail coughed as well and replied back. "I'm fine too. What happened?"

"Someone tried to kill us," said Anakin as he hears what sounds like rocket heading their way. "Take cover you two until security arrives," he ignites his lightsaber. "I'll go see who attacked us."

"Ani, be careful," said Padme having a worried expression on her face.

Anakin nods as the women take off for cover, while he goes where the explosion occurred to find who attacked them. He kept his guard up as he follows the source of the rocket. The source of the sound leads him near the balcony where he sees something moving nearby. He swings his weapon, but stops when he sees its C-3PO.

"Oh thank the makers it's you sir," said 3PO glad to see his creator, even though he almost cut his head off. "I'm so glad to see you're okay, but where is Senator Amidala and Ms. Wayne? Are they okay?"

"They're fine 3PO," Anakin replied lowering his guard for a moment, until he can sense someone landing on the balcony outside. "Get out of here and contact the guards."

"Excuse me?" 3PO asked confused by the sudden change in his creator's attitude, when he sees someone outside and figures it must be trouble. "Oh of course, sir. I'll just go do that then."

As C-3PO begins to leave, Anakin walks outside and sees a familiar foe waiting for him. A foe he has encountered many times and has always worn those ridiculous large hates.

"Cad Bane."

"Greetings Jedi, it has been a long time since we last saw each other," said Cad as he takes out his two blasters. "I was hoping to find your brat, but from what I heard your Order kicked her out and she ran away. So sad, but don't worry once I am done here I will go find her and sell her to the highest bidder."

This made Anakin upset knowing the history Ahsoka and him have with Bane. He is glad that he hasn't found her, but if he does he will try hurting her. "I'm not going to let you do that."

"Well, let's see if you can stop me," said Cad as he opens fire.

Anakin deflects the blaster shots away and tries returning them to Bane. However, the bounty hunter begins running so the shots don't hit him and he uses his rocket boots to fly up as he continues firing at the Jedi. Anakin uses the Force to try bringing Bane down, but the bounty hunter fires a cable that wraps around him pinning his arms. He then presses a button that sends electricity through his body and begins shocking him.

Anakin felt the pain flowing through his body, but he refused to give in. He uses his lightsaber to cut himself free and grabs the cable. Pulling it as hard as he can he brings Cad Bane towards him and then punches him knocking him along the ground. Cad uses his wrist gauntlet to fire a flamethrower towards him.

Anakin jumps back away from the range of the fire and uses the Force to stop it from getting any further. Cad Bane grabs his blasters and begins opening fire at him. Anakin activates his lightsaber as he deflects the attacks and manages to redirect one shot back hitting Bane's shoulder. He uses the Force to send him flying into the wall and crashes into it as he moves his lightsaber towards his face.

"It's over," he replied keeping his weapon near the bounty hunters face. "I suggest you surrender, right now."

Cad Bane however began laughing and didn't seem concerned. "I wouldn't be so sure about that. Let's just say I didn't come alone."

A large reptilian hand appeared from the ground, wrapped around Anakin's leg, and pulls him down through the floor. Anakin is then grabbed and slammed into the wall before being tossed away. He looks over to see a large monstrous creature standing before him snarling, hissing, and drooling. It stared at him with its sharp jaws and yellow eyes as it begins stomping towards him.

Anakin goes for his lightsaber, but sees its missing. Looking up he sees Cad Bane holding it, while he is laughing.

"Looking for this? I think I'll keep it with me, while you play with my new friend," said Cad as he turns towards the monster. "Meet Waylon Jones or as he likes to call himself, Killer Croc. Croc, have fun with the Jedi, while I go pay his friends a visit."

"No!" Anakin tries to jump up through the hole, but Croc grabs him again and slams him to the ground. He then picks him up and tosses him through another hole where there are mutilated bodies near him.

Anakin recognized one of them as the Gregar Typho who has been torn apart with a horror expression on his face. Croc soon comes into the room and begins laughing.

"They were all delicious. Not a lot of meat, but maybe you'll taste better."

Anakin gets upset as he gets up and begins calling on the Force. Killer Croc charges at him, but Anakin uses the Force to send him flying towards the wall. He then runs up at him and punches him hard in the jaw with his robotic hand knocking him down. Backing away he looks down to see Croc is still conscious, but is groaning.

"You are tough, but I don't have time for you," he tries to leave again, but Croc gets up and tackles Anakin through the wall and out of the building as the two begin falling.

Croc tries to grab Anakin, but is kicked in the face. He tries getting to one of the edges of the buildings, but Croc grabs him and punches him. Anakin makes his way around Croc and uses him to cushion the blow a little as they crashed into a ship destroying it. Some droids notice this and begin approaching the wreckage when they see someone being tossed out towards them.

Anakin lands on the ground groaning a little in pain as Killer Croc makes his way out, but was in pain a little. Anakin sees his chance and uses the Force knocking the monster into the ship as it explodes hopefully taking him out. Looking up at the building where he fell he knows he has a long way to go. Looking over he sees a ship and goes towards it as he begins heading back up to save his wife.

"Hang on, Padme. I'm coming."

Meanwhile

On the roof of a building in the downtown part of Coruscant there is a masked figure, who is seen wearing a cloak that covered the body. Nearby the figure has five droids all armed and pointing their weapons at five civilians. All tied and blindfolded with no idea of what is going on. The figure kept the droids locked onto the civilians with orders where if they tried anything they are shot.

The people are hoping they will be saved by the police or at least the Jedi, but the figure made sure that wasn't going to happen. The figure send a fake tip that send the Jedi on a wild Banta chase, while the police are kept busy with a crime happening far from here.

A woman wearing a mask over her mouth approaches the masked figure and kneels down. "Master, it has been half-an-hour. Perhaps, he is not coming?"

The first masked figure turns towards the woman and replied revealing to be a woman when she spoke. "No, he will come. He will not stand by while these people die."

She has heard rumors that the Batman looked out for the safety of the people and would protect them. Still, she had no desire to kill these people. It's true she could, but she prefers to use them to get her fight with the Dark Knight. At least until she kills him and then the Jedi.

Unbeknownst to the two women wait now for the arrival of the Batman, not knowing that he has arrived and has been watching them for the last 20 minutes learning about what is going on. So far the droids the woman is using are IG-88. He has encountered these types of droids before and knew how to deal with them. The masked women though he didn't know who they are and what they can do.

However, he knew if he is going to save the people he needed to lure the women away. First the droids. Taking out his Remote Control Batarang he begins activating it to take out the heads of the droids, while also using another device to hack into the droids to take control of their arms so they don't aim the weapons at the hostages.

Once he has control over the droids he has them move their blasters above the heads of the hostages and then tosses his batarang taking out the five droids. This caught the attention of the first masked woman who swings her sword and cuts his weapon in half. She picks up the broken weapon and recognized it. Batman could see she knows he is here and so he uses his rocket boots to fly up, then glides down using his cape.

Earlier the masked woman noticed the droids acted funny and when she saw them moving their weapons away from the heads of the hostages she knew the Batman was here. That is why when she saw something cut the heads of the droids off she quickly destroys it with her sword. Taking the pieces of it she sees they are in the form of a bat. She kept her followers away wanting to fight the Batman herself.

She sees the Batman gliding above her before he made his landing nearby. He is as she had heard he would appear as.

Dressed as a bat, except he is wearing what appears to be armor along his body, with a black bat symbol on his chest, a belt with different tools on it, black gauntlet gloves, boots, a long black cape that retracts to the back, and a mask that covers his mouth with the eyes glowing white.

This appearance may seem strange to others, but she could see this is the type of appearance that can strike fear into any criminal. I can see why the league is fascinated by him.

"You wanted me, well here I am," Batman replied with the mask hiding how he sounds like. "Now let the hostages go, now."

"And free them I will, after you fight me," she replied with her mask also hiding how she sounds like.

She knew again she could kill these people or use them to her advantage in this fight. She could even use her followers to assist her. However, she wanted to see how good this Batman is and see if he is a worthy opponent. At least one she can fight again when it begins.

Batman looks over at the hostages who are being guarded by the other masked woman and then back at the first one. He knew he had to keep them safe and so he'll have to fight her.

"Very well, as long as we fight alone," he replied figuring the other woman will get involved.

"She has been given her orders. She will not disobey," the masked woman replied making it also sound like a warning towards her assistant not to get involved.

She makes her move as she charges at Batman and swings her sword at him. He blocks the attack using his armored wrist gauntlet as he goes on the defense. He wanted to learn how she fights and then can make his counterattack. However, the way she moved and was fighting felt familiar.

As if he has seen this type of fighting style before. He manages to block her last attack using the wrist blades on the side of his gauntlets. She tries pressing her sword down on him, but he keeps the blade from getting any closer. So she drives her knees into his gut causing him to back away.

She swings her sword again, but he catches it with both his hands and then kicks her in the gut causing her to loosen her grip on her weapon. He tosses it away and throws a punch, but she blocks it and she tries punching him back, but he blocks her attack as well.

The two begin throwing kicks, punches, and everything at each other, but each time their moves are blocked or countered, then are countered again. This kept going back and forth until she threw a punch at him. He catches it manages to move the arm to her back with him behind her, then wraps his arm around her neck. He tries to incapacitate her, but she drives her head back to his face as she frees her arm.

As she goes to elbow him, he blocks it and drives his knee to her gut like how she did to him before. He then drives his knee to her face breaking the face and knocking her away.

He waits for her to continue as she lifts her head up to reveal what she looks like. She has long black hair, brown eyes, and fair skin. He didn't expect her to look attractive, but he soon refocused and remembered they are still fighting. The woman picks up the remains of her mask and begins to smile.

"Impressive, you are better than I thought you would be," she replied before dropping the fragments to the ground. "It appears you are what I had hoped you would be."

"What do you mean? Who are you? And what do you want?" Batman asked who had a feeling something was off.

The woman not surprised by his questions replied to them, especially if it will help him be ready for what is coming. "Allow me to introduce myself, I am Shiva and I came here to test you, Batman before the hunt begins."

Chapter is done with some surprises here. First see Cad Bane has brought in Killer Croc as his partner who we saw in the last chapter. We then have two familiar female characters arrive in the story. Lady Shiva is here, but does that means others will appear soon. Was it wrong for me to reveal her so soon?

Well, let me know guys as we wait till next time to find out what happens. If you all like how this chapter went please leave some reviews. I also promise to get back to work on my other stories when I can. So for now, please be patient everyone.

If you didn't like this then don't leave a flame review. Take care everyone, be safe, and see you all next time.
