Chapter 25 is here folks and hope everyone is ready. I'm glad we got to chapter 25 and thanks guys for the support. I appreciate it and glad we are getting close to 200 reviews. Wouldn't be surprise if we get there before the final chapter, which is not here yet so don't worry.

Last time we saw Batman saving Alfred and got his reason for fighting back so he can go stop the Joker. We also saw Anakin escaping from the prison cell and now is off to find the hostages. Will we have both heroes meet up with one another? And will they work together or will it end in a fight?

Well, read on to find out and thanks to those who didn't spoil it for the people who haven't played the game. I appreciate it guys and I don't own anything from the DC or Star Wars universe just my OCs. Also: Bold- means thoughts & Italic- will mean what an alien is saying in their native language. And now let's continue with the story.

Chapter XXV

Coruscant

The Clone army surrounded the prison as they try to find a way inside the facility. They were informed from inside that the Joker has escaped, Bane and his men took over the prison, and they are holding hostages. They had to have the Clones remove their helmets and keep them off so they know who is who. After finding out how Bane and his men got inside using their own equipment they couldn't take any risk.

Master Kenobi arrived with Master Windu waiting for him. He explained the situation with him and are discuss on what they need to do. They know trying to break into the prison will be difficult to do, especially with the security upgrades they had the Wayne Corporation give them. To ensure their criminals wouldn't escape.

Thankfully Abigail Wayne would be arriving soon to speak to their location and help them out in any way she can. As the Jedi wait they try communicating with the others inside who haven't been captured, including their Jedi comrades. However, they haven't been able to get a word inside. They also know the longer they take to find a way in, there more likely the hostages will be killed.

They see a gunship flying down near their position as Abigail exited the ship along with her bodyguard and Senator Amidala, who insisted on coming. "Master Jedi, greetings. I wish we didn't have to speak in these kinds of condition."

"We feel the same way," said Master Kenobi as they show a holographic map of the prison. "We appreciate your company providing the new design for the prison and the upgrades that were placed in. But we are hoping you know a way to shut them down so we can get inside."

"I could, but the problem is it seems the hacker that your Clones arrested was placed in the facility," said Abigail recognizing who it is that has control of the prison. "Edward Nygma I believe is his name?"

Master Windu nods in response knowing who the prisoner is. "Is there a way to get passed his hacking and take back control of the prison system?"

Abigail nods as she cracks her knuckles. "I can handle that. The problem is we need to also see where the hostages are at and make sure the Joker didn't place any explosives around the prison."

Obi Wan knew that would be a problem if the Joker set up explosives in areas where they need to get in. "Well, is there another way into the prison that we can use to get to the hostages? I'm afraid we can't risk waiting for too long, especially if there are wounded inside."

Abigail knew Obi Wan was right and tries to see if there is a place in the prison where they can get it. Without of course running into her brother. "I believe the sewage system. I didn't finish working on it since I was busy with other requests. It will lead you to the restrooms, where you'll have to cut through the floor to get through."

Obi Wan sighed not liking the idea of going through the sewage. "I'll get my men ready then."

"Once you get inside find Skywalker and Master Plo," Master Windu suggested. "You'll need help in order to take back the prison."

Obi Wan nods in agreement as he begins walking to talk to his men, when Padme walks up to him. "Obi Wan, wait," the Jedi Master stops and turns to the senator. "Please find Anakin and make sure he'll be okay."

"I will," said Obi Wan knowing how much Padme cares for Anakin and how Anakin feels the same. "Stay here with Abigail and help her out in anything she need."

Obi Wan walked away and went to speak with Cody to discuss what they are planning to do. Meanwhile two figures can be seen hiding near the prison facility as they watched the military surrounding the prison.

The two figures appeared revealing to be Batgirl and Robin as the two stayed out of sight from the Clones. "It looks like they won't be making a move just yet on the prison," said Robin as he uses his binoculars to watch everything. "It will make getting inside difficult."

Batgirl nods in agreement. "Still, we have to find a way in and save everyone. I wonder though where Batman is at. Alfred said he was on his way."

They soon hear what sounded like something flying towards them. They look over and see the Batwing flying towards them. The cockpit opened and out came Batman, but his suit looked upgraded. He landed nearby as the two got a better look of his suit.

The armor looked less visible, but they could see it was there. There was no cape as under the arms there were wings that allowed him to glide. The Bat symbol was red and was glowing, along with the eyes. The mask didn't show much of the mouth, keeping it hidden, and the suit looked like it could move much easier than before.

"Daniel?" Batgirl asked almost sounding worried who this man in the suit is.

Batman nods in response as he walks past the two and looks at the prison. "Any updates?"

The two young teenagers continued staring in surprise, until Batgirl broke out of her thoughts and replied. "So far they haven't found a way through. However, Abigail informed us there is a way inside. The sewer system, which we can use to make it inside the facility. What do you want to do?"

"We overheard the Jedi thought saying they are planning to go in soon. Should we get going?" Robin asked.

Batman nods as they glide down to the location where the sewer system is at. They arrive away from the prison and from the Clones. Removing the sewer lid they begin sliding down the ladder, while also closing the lid. So that way the Jedi won't suspect someone was here.

"Sir – I've been listening to the reports coming out of the prison. Everything OK?" Alfred asked as he communicated with Batman, while the others could hear through their masks.

"We should be asking you that. How are you feeling, Alfred?" Robin asked.

"Good to hear from you, Master Bonteri. I'm all right. It's not every day that one's heart must be crudely resuscitated by defibrillation," Alfred replied to reassure the senator he is all right.

"Good to hear. We were worried about you," said Batgirl who wished they could have gone to see him, but they knew he would want them there to help the people.

"Of course. But, honestly I do think you three have bigger things to worry about right now," said Alfred as he reads the message Tatsu send him. "I was just informed the hacker that helped take control of the Senate's security system escaped and is helping take control of the prison systems. We can't see what is going on inside, but Ms. Abigail is working to stop him again."

"All right. Our first goal should be to free the hostages, but also take back control of the security systems," said Batman as they walk down the sewers. "Robin, you'll come with me to find the hostages. Batgirl, find the security room and when Abigail takes control back from the facility, get Nygma out of the room."

"It will be my pleasure," said Batgirl as she punches the palm of her hand.

The three stop when they see their path has stopped with a giant brick wall. However, thanks to his cowl vision they were able to find a weak floor below them. He uses the explosive gel to destroy it as he activates it. The floor below them is destroyed as the three glide down to the ground.

They make it down and find some skeletons in what appears to be a pit. "What is this?" Batgirl asked surprised to find these bodies here.

"It looks like this was an old sewage system that the Republic doesn't use anymore. That's why they didn't know about it," said Robin as they continued making their way through the sewer as they get closer to the prison.

They arrive at an old sewage floor control room, which looked abandoned and old. There was still power flowing through the room, most likely the prison is unaware of this. Using the controls they get through the damaged doorway and make it to the other side. However, if the Jedi or Clones try using the door it most likely won't work again.

They find a door and slowly open it as they hear several men inside. "How much further?" one of the criminals asked.

"Almost there. I can taste the fresh air," said another criminal as they try making some bombs.

"I hope you get that ready soon. Otherwise Croc will eat you," said the same criminal from before. He hears some noises behind him and turns around to see who it is. "It's the Bat and his sidekicks!"

"Sidekicks?" Batgirl and Robin asked a bit insulted with what they said as they turn to Batman who nods in response. "We'll show you sidekicks!"

They attacked the criminals, while Batman begins contacting Alfred. "We're inside. How's Abigail doing trying to take back control of the prison?"

"It appears this Mr. Nygma is proving to be difficult for Ms. Abigail. Though, she is confident she will have him in a few minutes. Are the others all right?" Alfred asked as a bat guy was tossed across the room.

"They're all right. Are the Jedi making their move to get inside?" Batman asked hoping to get this done before the Jedi get inside. That way they won't get hurt by the Joker or Bane.

"They're just barely moving out. Be careful sir and look out for one another," said Alfred.

"We will," said Batman as he faces the others to see Batgirl and Robin tying up the criminals. "You two done?"

Both teenagers nod as they go to activate the elevator. However, Batgirl sees it coming down and tackles Robin out of the way as the elevator crashed. Batman helps them up as they see a body inside. They find the body of a Clone with a big grin on his face.

They then hear the Joker speaking to them through the intercom. "Ho, ho, ho! Ha, ha! It's me again with a little holiday reminder. If you all want to get out of here alive tonight, what are you going to do?"

"Bring you the bat!" shouted the prisoners from the background.

"Very good! And how do I want this stocking-stuffer delivered? Alive or – dead?" the Joker asked.

"Alive!" the prisoners replied again.

"That's right! What a good little helpers you all are. Joker's going to have a nice surprise for you when he gets what he wants!" the intercom finished and they knew the Joker is aware they are here.

"All right. New change of plans. I'll go after the Joker. Robin, get the hostages and Batgirl go get Nygma," said Batman knowing if they'll need to get the people out before Joker harms them.

"You sure? You don't want us to help you?" Robin asked.

"I'll be fine. Now go, both of you," said Batman as he tries to find another way to get to the Joker.

Meanwhile

Anakin heads off to find the hostages, while also avoiding the Joker's and Bane's men. Earlier he encountered some injured Clones who were about to be killed by Bane's men. Anakin saved them and they informed the Jedi where the hostages are at. And how there are other guards that escaped, but are held up somewhere.

Anakin decided to go find them to get a little backup and also send some of them to keep an eye on the injured Clones. He left them in a safe room, but he knew they needed more help. He stops when he hears some commotion coming nearby. Looking over he sees Bane's men shooting at some Clones, who are hiding behind a door.

He ignites his lightsaber and charges at the men who didn't notice him. It wasn't until he killed two of them that the men noticed and opened fire. Anakin used the Force to knock them down and then used this chance to start killing them off. One-by-one as they tried their best to fight back.

The Clones saw this and joined in on the fight as they opened fire killing more of Bane's men until only one was left. Anakin used the Force to lift him up and knock him against the wall as he moves his weapon close to his neck.

"Where are the hostages?"

The mercenary was calm and began to chuckle despite having the lightsaber blade near him. "What makes you think I'll talk?"

Anakin knew threatening him like this won't work. So, he tries using the Force, but found it wasn't working.

"Your mind tricks won't work on any of us. We were trained to handle your kind and threatening us won't work. Even if it is from a guy who massacred a village," said the mercenary.

This got Anakin's attention as he grabs him by his vest, lifts him up, and slams him against the wall. "What did you say?"

The mercenary didn't reply, but merely laughed again. Causing Anakin to get upset as he goes to hurt hum, but stopped when the mercenary went to grab his weapon. Before he could open fire, Commander Wolffe shot him. The shot hit the criminal in the chest and caused him to die.

"I'm sorry, sir. But I had to do it," said Commander Wolffe apologizing for killing the criminal.

Anakin sighed as he dropped the body and shook his head. "It's okay. You had no choice and thanks. How are you and your men doing? Any injured?"

"A few are hurt, but the rest are all right," Commander Wolffe replied. "These men just came out of nowhere. We didn't even know they were fakes until they opened fire on us."

"Did anyone make it out before the lockdown happened?" Anakin asked hoping maybe some got out to alert the Jedi.

"I don't know. Things got out of control that we had no choice but to find a safe place to take cover," Commander Wolffe replied as he turns to a hallway. "One of the men said he saw the Joker walking down that hallway with a large masked man.

"Bane," said Anakin knowing he'll get another chance at the masked villain. "There's a few men who are injured down the hall to the left. They'll need your help."

"Understood, sir. You don't want us to join you though?" Commander Wolffe asked.

Anakin had thought about it, but he knew they would be no match for Bane. "No, I'll be fine. If you can find a way to contact the Jedi, let them know what is going on. I'll go after Bane and the Joker."

"Yes sir," said Commander Wolffe as he rounded up his men, including the injured and they began making their way to their injured brothers.

Meanwhile Anakin turns to the hallway and begins walking down it. He knows the odds of him beating Bane and the Joker alone is risky, but he has a score to settle with them.

Processing Room

Robin is seen going through the vent as he makes his way to find the hostages.

"She's telling the truth. They'd never give the codes to a psychiatrist," said what sounded like a Clone.

"Shit your face, clone. Or I'll shut it for you. Permanently," said a man who could be one of the Joker or Bane's men.

"Just kill me and get it over with," said a woman who appears to be a doctor or the psychiatrist that was mentioned.

"Think I'll make you suffer first. That is, unless you can't get me the meds I want," said the thug who is wearing a clown mask, showing he is one of the Joker's men.

Robin looks through the vent to see the hostages are placed in the middle of the room, with armed men nearby and some on the walkway. He climbs down and gets behind one of the men, puts his hand over his mouth, and wraps his arm around his neck to knock him out.

He uses his grappling gun to get out of sight as one of the other guards goes to check on his fallen comrade. However, before he can warn the others he is grabbed and is lifted into the air. Robin slams him against the wall and punches him hard in the face knocking him out. He ties his hands around and leaves him hanging as he goes to the other walkway.

He does the same thing to the two men there and then focuses his attention on the three guards who are holding the hostages. One of them appears to have placed mines around them. So that way the hostages can't escape and to make sure anyone who tries to save them can't get to them. He knew he needed to deactivate those mines first so he can get in close.

He takes out a remote and begins hacking into the mines to deactivate them. Once they are out he glides towards two of the men as he kicks them in the back of the head knocking them down. He throws a Birdarang at the third guard knocking the blaster away. He runs up to him and punches him in the face knocking him down.

Once they were down Robin helps free some of the hostages, who begin checking on the others. He turns to the woman and helps free her.

"Look who it is…my knight in shining armor," said Harleen though it did sounded more like this was sarcasm.

"Are you okay?" Robin asked as he helps her out of the chair, but she pulled her arm away from him.

"What's it to ya?" she asked not liking being grabbed.

"You were almost killed," said Robin wondering why she is acting hostile towards him.

"Eh. Occupational hazard," said Harleen who didn't seem worried "Look. I know why you're here. He's in the panopticon. He's waiting for the Batman."

Robin contacted Batman and informed him where the Joker is at. He also told him how he found the hostages and they are safe.

Robin sees the Clone guards grabbing the weapons and he knew they might want to ask him some questions. "Stay here where it's safe until the Jedi come," said Robin as he took off before the Clones look him.

"Yeah. I'm sure I'll feel a lot safer around a bunch of Jedi and Clones," said Harleen as she watches the masked hero leave, while thinking about the Joker and what he told her before he left.

Letting her know he wasn't planning to harm her and letting his men know they are not to do anything to her. He made that clear when he killed one of the men who thought he was joking. She thought about what he said to her when they first met and wondered if he did care for her. If he does, then what does this mean for her?

Meanwhile

Master Plo managed to get passed more criminals who were dressed as Clones, despite being injured. He wasn't far from the control room, but needed to stay on his guard. With the Joker being unpredictable there is no telling what he has to keep them out. As he got close he noticed something was off.

There were no guards around the control room. In fact, it looked like it was defenseless. This made him feel uneasy. The Joker wouldn't exactly leave the area unsecured, would he?

He uses the Force to try to sense any sort of danger. As soon as he did a hologram appeared revealing a man around his 20s, wearing glasses, and a prison suit.

"Greetings, Master Plo. It's been a long time.

Master Plo recognized the young man and knew who he is. "Edward Nashton."

"It's Nygma. Though I shouldn't be surprised. After all your kind are not well known for remembering things well. I supposed that is to be expected, especially what your kind needs to survive," said Edward Nygma.

"I could never forget you though. You were released two years because one of the ideas you suggested lead to a military disaster two years ago when the war began," said Master Plo recalling the mission that Nygma was involved in and how many Clones were killed. "Of course we had to lie about why you were fired since that attack cost the lives of many civilians. All who had relatives that wanted your head for what you did."

"My plan was not a failure! It you the Jedi and those idiotic Clones who couldn't follow the plan down to the way I wrote it!" Edward Nygma replied in an outburst, but soon calmed down. "Still, I'm glad you all did fire me. Because thanks to you I was able to finally use my skills to prove myself superior than the Republic."

"Yet you were captured so easily from what we were told. Apparently another hacker was able to alert us to your location and we were able to bring you in," said Master Plo who tried using this chance to use the Force to open the door, while Nygma was upset.

"Silence! That hacker got lucky and I'm going to prove it when I beat her again. Even now she is trying to beat me and take back control of the prison systems. Just like I know you're trying to open the door," said Edward Nygma as the door becomes reinforced. "You didn't think I knew what you were trying to do right? Pathetic. I'll make you pay Master Plo for trying to fool me and for what you did. Let's see you handle, this."

A large droid appeared in the room as it begins approaching the Jedi Master. Master Plo ignites his lightsaber, only for the droid to use a magnet to take it away from him and crushed it. Master Plo tries using the Force on it, but found it was unaffected. This made Edward Nygma laugh knowing he is going to have his revenge.

"It looks like the almighty Jedi aren't as great as everyone thinks they are. You will die and so will your other Jedi friends when I am done with them," just then something hit the droid from behind and electricity begins surging through its body causing it to malfunction. "W-what? What just happened?"

"Your droid was strong to handle a Jedi," Nygma and Master Plo look behind the droid as Batgirl appeared holding a Batarang in her hand. "However, it wasn't enough to protect it from getting shorten out."

"W-who are you?! And what did do?" Edward Nygma shouted, upset that his droid was defeated so easily.

"Call me, Batgirl," she tosses the Batarang hitting the droid in the head as it blows up. "And you're done, Edward."

"You little…this isn't over. I still have control over the prison and I will have my revenge against…" suddenly the hologram began to glitch. "W-wait. What's going on? Why are the doors unlocking?"

"That would be me," said a woman who's voice was disordered so it couldn't be recognized. "Looks like I got passed your programs, again. And in less than the time I said I was going to do it."

"You!" Nygma knew who it was as his hologram form disappeared and the symbol of Oracle appeared. "How did you…when did you…who are you?!"

"The name is Oracle and I'm shutting you down," said Oracle as the door opened. "Please arrest this maniac, Master Plo."

Master Plo wasn't sure who this woman was, but gladly accepted the assistance. He goes into the security room where he sees Nygma trying to damage the computers. The Jedi stopped him and throws him out of the room. Batgirl punches him in the face and cuffs him.

Master Plo checks on the computers and sees they are damaged. "Oracle was it? I don't supposed you can get the systems back online despite the computers being damaged?"

"Not at the moment. But they don't look too damaged and can be fixed. Batgirl, can you fix them up?" Oracle asked as her friend walks into the room.

"Sure, but that is if Master Plo is okay with a masked vigilante helping the Jedi," said Batgirl hoping her friend will say yes.

Master Plo felt something familiar about this masked girl and could feel through the Force that he can trust her. "Very well. I will take Nygma somewhere safe to be locked up. In the meantime, you can fix things in here."

"Thank you," said Batgirl as she goes to work on trying to fix the computers.

As Master Plo is about to leave, he stops by the door. "You are friends with the Batman, aren't you?" Batgirl didn't reply, but gave a small nod in response. "Tell me, why does he fight in the shadows and not reveal himself to us? We are not his enemies."

Batgirl sighed as she faces the Jedi Master and tried to explain. "It's not that he doesn't trust you, but maybe he feels you would not approve of his methods. Yes, they do seem harsh and are not something a Jedi would do. However, in times like these they are necessary. To bring peace and order back to the galaxy."

"Using fear to do so is not the right way," said Master Plo who still didn't approve that type of method to fight crime.

"True, but in a galaxy filled with criminals who use it themselves on the innocent. I believe they deserve to know what it is like to live in fear and what it looks like next time they try hurting someone," said Batgirl as she turns to Master Plo one more time. "You may not believe it isn't the right way, but if you have a better idea of keeping criminals down then please tell me what it is the right way."

Master Plo was about to reply, but knew it didn't matter. Both have different ideas of how to handle criminals and how it should be done.

Batgirl turns back to the computer and works on fixing them. "You should find your friends and get them some help. I'll have this done soon."

"Very well then good luck and may the Force be with you," said Master Plo as he grabs Nygma and begins looking for the others.

Batgirl closes the door and sighed. "May the Force be with you too…Master Plo."

That's the end of the chapter and hope you all liked how this went with Ahsoka reuniting with her old Jedi friend. Also I decided for him not to know who Ahsoka is since I already have others who know about her secret. Also, yep I had Robin help save the hostages and meet with Harley. Wil be interesting to see them meet up again in the future.

All right. So, next time we will be seeing Batman in action and his suit will be posted up on my Tumblr page. Thecrazyone1990, you can look it up there and you'll find what the suit looks like. I don't own the pic and I will try to find who made it. Tag them and leave them name below the pic.

Well, check out the next chapter to find out what else will happen and if you like how this went then please leave some reviews. Just nothing negative please. If you don't like this then don't leave a review. Thanks also to everyone for the support and the reviews for the story.

I appreciate it guys and glad to know how much you like the story. Also thanks to my friend for his help and assistance. I appreciate it and I'll see you all next time. Take care and be safe.
