Here we are with chapter 28 and yep here we are with the end. I hope everyone is ready. I'm sorry that the story is going to end…or will it? I think you'll know what I mean when we get to the very end of this chapter. More will be explained at the end, but for now we are here with the last chapter of Arkham Origins.

I'm glad how far we've gotten into this story and thanks guys for the support. I appreciate it so much and thanks for the reviews as well. Now, last time we saw Batman defeat the Joker and Anakin let him go. Does this mean they will be allies or will there still be some tension between the two?

Check out the chapter to find out and see how this will end. Also, I debated with this question for some time ever since people have asked me to do the Mr. Freeze part from Arkham Origins. I was tempted, but with the time limit I have I won't be able to do it. Unless, someone would like to work with me to do this.

Like, we can work on it together. It would have to be someone though who would be willing to write it, I'll give the ideas, and edit anything that is needed. I won't write it myself since I got too much stuff to do. Again, if anyone is interested in that idea then let me know through PM or on my Tumblr.

For now, let's go with the disclaimer. 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 finale of the story.

Chapter XXVIII

Naboo

Alfred left his room and began heading down the stairs, while using a cane to help him get down slowly. He winced a little with each step since he was still recovering from the attack at the hands of Bane. After Daniel and the others returned home they got him some medical help. A doctor they knew and trusted came to their home to help treat him for his injuries and didn't ask any questions.

However, he recommended for Alfred to stay in bed for the next few weeks. Something Alfred was not okay with since he wanted to help. But, Daniel and Abigail insisted he gets some rest. So, he agreed to do so.

Still, he feels he can at least make some breakfast for the others. After the long night they all had it was the least he can do. He also figured it couldn't be too hard to make breakfast despite being injured. Of course, he would need to do this soon before they wake up.

After taking ten minutes of making it down the stairs he heads to the kitchen where he sees the kitchen looked clean. On the table there was some food set up, with a written paper next to it. Picking it up he sees it was from Daniel and Abigail. They made him some breakfast and told him they'll be here for him if he needs help.

The food felt warm, which meant it wasn't long ago that they made this. Near the food is his favorite book, which also had a note with it. The note came from Ahsoka, Tatsu, and Lux who got him a new book after his old one got damaged during a training exercise. They thanked him for caring for them when they stayed with their friends and appreciate all he has done.

This made Alfred happiness for how considered the kids were on trying to help him. Going to the living room he finds the others sleeping there. He sees Daniel sleeping on the couch with his sister next to him. Ahsoka is seen on the recliner curled up, while Tatsu is resting against the sofa sleeping, and Lux on the floor using a pillow for his head.

Seeing this made Alfred smiled softly and bring a small tear to his eye. They have done so much to protect the city and yet they still found time to help him. He decided not to wake them and let them enjoy their rest. Going back to the kitchen he picks up his book and began reading his book while he ate his breakfast.

Coruscant

24 hours passed since the attack against the Republic had ended. The Clones and the Jedi were able to take back the prison, where they found the criminals all apprehended. Some at the hands of Obi Wan Kenobi, his men, and the guards. The rest though were captured by the Batman and his allies.

After locking up the criminals in a more secure area, the senate began voting for a new Chancellor. They went through the whole night and day to get the results done quickly so they can have a new leader. Once all the votes were casted, it showed Padme Amidala winning by a landslide. Thus making her the new Supreme Chancellor of the Republic.

More good news came when it was revealed Count Dooku has resign as leader of the Separatist, many of the droid army factories being destroyed, and the rest the Separatist leaders leaving the organization. This resulted in the Clone Wars finally ending. A huge celebration was to take place, but after the new Chancellor made some announcements. Regarding everything that has happened and even indicating the last thing she will mention will be about the Batman.

Padme stood in front of the Senate building with several of the Jedi standing next to her. Along with Abigail Wayne, several of the senators, and the Clones standing in front of them for protection. News reporters came by, along with many of the citizens of the Republic, and cameras that were transmitting what was being said across the galaxy.

"The Clone army and the Jedi have rounded up all the criminals who have been working for the Joker. The reign of crime is over. The safety of the people in the galaxy is our top priority. Along with the reconstruction of the planets that have suffered during the Clone Wars."

Padme then turns towards her friend, Abigail who stood by her side. "We have also formed a partnership with the Wayne family in helping accomplish this goal. They have agreed to help rebuild and create new technology to keep our people safe."

She stood aside allowing her friend to speak to the people. "My family has been helping the people of the galaxy for many years. Whether you are part of the Republic or not it doesn't matter. We are here to help and we will continue to do so by helping rebuild our galaxy. To help mend wounds and rebuild relationships for both sides so we don't end up fighting each other again."

Abigail stood back allowing her friend to continue speaking. "We will call out to the Separatist leaders to find a way to make peace and help bring many of these systems back to the Republic. So that we can work together to help keep the peace."

"What about the Batman?" one reporter asked.

Padme turns to her friend, who nods in response. She then turns back to the reporters and replied to the question. "Last night the Batman helped save the Republic from being destroyed and the people have made their voices clear that they are on his side. So, we have decided not to pursuit the Batman or his allies any longer. He will be allowed to arrest criminals, bring them in to justice, and help keep order. Provided, that he doesn't break the law and work with us."

Abigail took out a note and hands it to Padme as she began reading from it. "This is a note we found from the Batman, who left it for us to find. Please inform the citizens of the galaxy, that they have earned a rest from crime, and to use this time to spend time with those they love. However, if the forces of evil should rise again to cast the shadow over the heart of the people, I will be there. I will be there to fight and shield the people wherever they need me."

One of the reporters raised his hand. "Question, how will we know if he'll be here? And how do we get in touch with him?"

Padme turns to her friend who walks over to a large sheath that is covering something. "I believe what we need is something that can be seen by everyone. So they know he is here and will strike fear into the hearts of the criminals. And I believe this is how we will do that."

She removes the sheath and unveils a spotlight that turns on revealing a bat symbol in the night sky.

1313 level

Assajj Ventress is in a bar where it was mostly empty. Many of the criminals who left when the Joker began taking over had not returned. Some considered coming back, while others were decided to stay away. After what they heard the Batman did taking down all the assassins and defeat the Joker it cause many to stay away out of fear.

However, for the citizens who lived in fear of crime, were not celebrating. They were taking back their homes and worked on restoring their lives. Ventress didn't care though, since this meant less job for her to do. That's if things end with the galaxy becoming more peaceful.

"If that happens I'll be out of work," she said to herself and cringed at the thought of living in a galaxy where everyone gets along.

"Maybe you should try working with the Jedi," said Ahsoka as she walked into the bar, wearing her cloak, but not using her hood. "Mind if I sit here?"

Ventress shrugged her shoulders not caring if she does or not. "Surprise to see you here without your costume. I would have thought you and your hero friends would be resting after a long night you all had."

Ahsoka lets out a small chuckle knowing that was true. After they helped stop the Joker, they headed back home to check on their friend. Once they finished cleaning the mansion and made him some food they all passed out in the living room. Almost half a way went by before they woke up and got ready to head to Coruscant for the presentation Padme wanted to present.

"Where's your cat friend? I'm surprised she isn't here to celebrate with you about helping us," said Ahsoka noticing Ventress is the only one here.

"She had other things to take care of and we wouldn't call this a time to celebrate. Just because the Joker is locked up and the war is over doesn't mean things will return to normal," said Ventress knowing peace for the whole galaxy is an illusion. "Even if there are those who do wish there is some peace."

Ahsoka's smile turned to a small frown, to later a concerned look. She knew Ventress is right. Even after locking up Joker they know there will be more criminals appearing and more that will try to take down the Batman. Heck, they seem to be drawing a lot of attention from other planets who claim they have their own heroes of their worlds.

She heard how there is a hero who has super speed, another who rules an undersea kingdom, a warrior princess that has existed for over a hundred years, and a super powered hero with an S symbol on his chest. All of these stories Daniel has been interested in and is planning to send them all on missions to investigate them.

Still, she knew now was not the time to think of so much negativity. She pulls out a holopad and hands it to Ventress, who stared at it confused.

"What is this?"

"What I promised you," Ahsoka replied showing a document that gave Ventress a full pardon. "The Jedi and the new Chancellor have given you a full pardon. Provided you help give them any information about locations that Count Dooku used in secrecy and might contain Sith artifacts."

Ventress looked surprised that the girl actually got her full pardon like she promised months ago. She was also surprised the Jedi agreed to do it, in exchange for information about Dooku. She puts the holopad away and wasn't sure what to say. She knew what she needed to say, but wasn't very good at it without making it sound like a sarcasm.

"Thanks," she replied trying to make it sound like she meant it.

Ahsoka knew she was trying and accepted it. She got up from her seat and extended her hand. "No, thank you. Not just for helping us last night, but also helping save Captain Rex and his men. I know you could have let them die and not done anything. But I appreciate you helping them and saving my friend."

Ventress stares at the hand and hesitated to shake it. But after everything that has happened she decided to do it. So, she moves her hand up and shook Ahsoka's hand. "So, you don't wish to join me for a little drink?"

"I would like to, but I'm not legal age and I've got work to do," Ahsoka put her hood up and was about to leave, when she brought something Abigail asked her to ask her. "You know, my friend could help get you a job that will keep you from getting in trouble with the law. It pays well and it will allow you to continue kicking some butt."

Ventress turns towards her and scoffed. "Like I would be interested in wearing a costume and a mask to fight."

"First of all the costumes aren't all bad. In fact, they feel pretty good when you wear them," Ahsoka replied defending the suits. "Secondly, that's not what I meant. I know someone in the Wayne Company that is offering a security position, which will allow you to use your lightsabers. Provided you don't kill people with it. You interested?"

Ventress thought about the offer seeing it as a good opportunity to make some money and also do things without getting in trouble with the law. Still, it would mean she would have to obey orders and do things by the book, which she is not interested in at all. However, she'll need to wait to see how things play out. If it ends with her needing more money to survive in this new era, then she needs something to fall back on.

"At the moment, no. However, tell your friend I'll think about it later."

Ahsoka figured it wouldn't be easy to turn her to join them, but it was still good to hear she'll think about it. "All right, well if you ever change your mind you know where to find us…goodbye Ventress and may the Force be with you."

Ahsoka soon left the bar, as Ventress looked at her glass and formed a small smile. "May the Force be with you too, Tano."

Later

Padme is seen pacing around looking over her speech that she plans to give to the Senate tomorrow. Once they finished fixing the damage the criminals created. This was going to be very important and needed it to go well. Now that the war is over she has to work on fixing the Republic.

They owed a lot of money, they had to figure out what to do with the Clone Army, and how to rebuild a relationship with the former systems that left the Republic. Luckily she will have some help, but she had to make sure what she says is important. The good news for her is the people were already giving her a lot of support, especially after she declared the Batman is not a criminal. That they will work together to bring peace to the galaxy.

Though, she knows some senators won't be happy with that decision. "Anakin, which sounds better? The one I mentioned earlier or the one right now?"

An hour ago, Anakin arrived to her apartment after he finished going over his meeting with the Council. It was the fifth time he was called into a meeting with them about what happened in the prison. Not that he was in trouble, but some wanted to know about his confrontation with the Batman. Why he let him go and how they captured the Joker.

After the meeting he got lost in his thoughts and even after seeing his wife he was still thinking about what happened last night. Padme noticed something was wrong and walks over to him.

"Anakin, tell me. What's wrong?"

Anakin snapped out of his thoughts and tried to reassure her he is fine. "It's nothing. What were you saying?"

Padme knew something was wrong and wanted to find out what it is. "You can tell me if something is bothering you. Please, talk to me."

Anakin sighed as he got up from his seat and walked out to the balcony. He knew he couldn't keep this a secret from his wife, especially after they have talked about this so many times for the last few days. He also feels she has a right to know what he is thinking. It might help him feel like what he did was the right thing or not.

"I keep asking myself why I didn't bring him in. I had him right in front of me and I could have arrested him or at least detain him until we figured out who he is. Now though I realize the reason I let him go…is because of you. Because you believe in him," he replied as he turns to his wife as he continued confessing. "In a galaxy where there is so much corruption, fighting, and death that a lot of people feel no one can change that. Not even the Jedi."

Padme could see Anakin seemed bothered by this, not that she wasn't herself. This war brought out the ugliness in the people and made everyone feel like there is no hope.

It made her remember seeing the Clones escorting criminals like Deathstroke, Killer Croc, and the rest of the assassins away to a new prison. How they were able to cause so much damage in just a few days has made people worry how things will go.

"At least, that's what I used to think," said Anakin as he got his wife's attention back to him. "Maybe, you were right about what the galaxy needs and what the Batman represents. Maybe, that's what the people need…maybe that's what we need."

He recalls seeing his men finding Bane, who appeared monstrous. He was unconscious, looked injured, and was tied up like a common criminal. While the Joker was being escorted to a new cell, but was laughing about how Batman tricked him. Even remembering what he said.

"Stopped his heart. That is funny. Good one, Bats," he shouted while the Clones and Harleen walked behind them. "This is going to be fun," he said with a big grin.

Still, despite that he was confident they would stop him if he tries hurting people again. That together they can make sure no more lives are lost and can bring peace to their galaxy.

"Maybe, we can give them something to believe in. Maybe HE can give them something to believe in," said Anakin as began to form a small smile.

Padme smiled back and leans in to kiss her husband on the cheek. "I believe you are right and together we'll help restore some peace to this galaxy. As long as we don't give up hope."

Anakin nods as he leans in and kisses his wife. The two embraced in a passionate kiss and held each other feeling their future looking very bright.

As they kissed, from a nearby roof Batman could see everything that was going on. He puts his binoculars away and was glad the night ended peacefully. He was happy that Padme was with someone and hope Skywalker will treat her right. He looks up to see the Bat-signal and knew he is needed.

He jumps off the roof and glides off into the night to protect the innocent as their dark knight.

All right, so that's the end everyone and hope you all liked the ending. The last scene yeah it was something I wanted to use from the Batman 1989 ending, which I still consider one of the best Batman films of all time. Also, yep it looks like the war is over, but a new war will begin. Does this mean I'll be doing Arkham Asylum next?

You bet I will and the good news is I got a chance to do some of the chapters for it so there won't be any need to wait so long to continue. However, I won't upload them just yet. I want to wait a little while to upload them. Probably by January 1 the story will be uploaded. I know that is long, but trust me the wait will be worth it.

I also will be times skip this story to five years later and more will be explained on what happened during that time. So, for now I hope you all liked this ending, I appreciate the support, the reviews, and the love that is shown for the story. You guys are the best and thanks again for making this story awesome.

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. Also thanks to my friend for his help and assistance on the story. I'll see you all next time for the sequel and take care.

Republic Prison

The doors slide open as three people are seen walking into the room. Two are men who are wearing black armored suits, while the third is a dark skin woman wearing a lab coat, appeared to be in her 30s, and looking slim. One of the men is carrying a file, while the other is carrying a duffle bag. They walk over to Slade Wilson's cell where the assassin is seen continuing to do pushups.

"Figured you'd be by sooner or later," said Slade without looking at the woman.

She throws a file at him that says confidential, all in capital letters, and in red. He knew what this was for and sat down on his bed. "And what happens if I don't sign?"

"You rot in here or you work for me," the woman replied giving him two options. "What's it going to be?"

Slade growls softly as he turns to her with scowled look before turning to the file. "And where are you planning to send me, Waller?"

The woman, now revealed to be Amanda Waller walks up to the cell and replied. "On a mission to take back your home world, from the Sith. You interested?"

Slade continued narrowing his eye at Waller, before he turns to the file and signs it as he slides it back to her. "Just give me my weapons and I'll take care of the rest."

The armored man throws the bag near the cell, which contains his equipment. "You have five minutes," said Waller.

Whoops, looks like things aren't over yet huh? Does this mean we'll be getting a Suicide Squad in the future? Well, there might be, but for that I'll need help from someone to help me make this. So, if anyone is interested and is someone with experience then we can work on a spin-off together.

However, again it must be someone who is familiar with both the DC and Star Wars universe. So, send me a PM and we can talk. Until then though, take care everyone. See you all next time for the sequel.
