Story II: Chapter IX

Arkham

Batman arrived on the West side of the prison where he spotted two of Joker's men constructing something in the visiting facility. He could even hear Joker continue speaking through the intercom. Speaking to his men to find any employees of the facility to round them up. Probably to use them as hostages for whatever he is planning.

He even heard him talking about some experiments he is working on. It must be related to whatever caused the prisoner he fought to become monstrous like Bane. Whatever he is planning he needs to continue looking for Obi Wan. He needs to get him out so he can contact his allies and keep them away until he captures Joker.

He arrived outside the Medical Facility where he took out Joker's men and found the track he was following that Obi Wan left behind leads him to the building. However, he knew going into the front door is not a wise idea.

He decided to try finding another way inside as he flies up to the roof of the building as he looks around for a way in. As he looks around he begins receiving a message from his sister.

"What is it, Oracle?"

"Well, I got some good news. I managed to get access to some of the cameras in the area where you are at," said Oracle as she saw her brother arrive in the west side of the prison. "Unfortunately I couldn't get to all of the facilities. Just a few key ones."

"Like the medical facility?" Batman asked as he turns his attention back to the entrance.

Oracle figured that must be where Batman is at and hacks into the facility. Most of the cameras appear to be knocked out. All except for the entrance where she sees the ray shields are up and Harley Quinn is inside. Obi Wan is nearby tied to a gurney with armed men nearby.

"I found Obi Wan. He's alive, but looks like he took some punches to the face."

Batman knew he needed to find another way inside to get to him before the punches turn to blaster shots. "I take it you haven't been able to hack into the security systems yet to knock out the shields?"

Oracle sighed as she replied. "I wish. See, this is why Luthor should stay out of these businesses since he cares more about money than actually helping."

Batman knew by the end of this Luthor will find a way to blame someone else for this. "I'll need to find another way in then since I bet Harley is waiting for me."

"With a trap no doubt," said Oracle who is concerned about her brother fighting the criminals on the planet alone. "I still think you should let me send one of the others to come help you."

"They're needed where you are all at in case something happens," said Batman as he finds a weak wall nearby.

Using his cowl vision he can see it leading into an empty room that has a door in it. Using his explosive gel he begins setting it on the wall.

"Once I find Obi Wan though I will need to get him out along with the survivors. Is there a way to get them out without running into Joker's men?"

Oracle sighed as she wished her brother would listen to her, but knew he was not going to change his mind. "Checking…" Oracle uses the cameras and spots a transport ship on the docks, which is being defended by some Clone soldiers. "Looks like Kenobi's men are holding their ground at the loading docks not far from where you are. Once we get him out and some of the hostages as well we should get the Republic forces to make their move."

"Not before we figure out what he is up to," said Batman as he activated the explosive gel and makes a hole to get into the room. "Keep me up to date though on what is going on outside and keep the Jedi from coming in here."

"Understood and be careful," said Oracle before turning off her communicator.

Batman heads in the room and opened the door as he makes his way through the ventilation system, while overhearing Joker speaking through the intercom. It appears he is ordering his men to round up the doctors from the facility. For more hostages? Or does this involve the experiments he claims to be working on?

He arrives in the Sanatorium where he sees several of Joker's men, all armed rounding up the doctors in the room. Using his cowl vision he managed to get a number of Joker's men in the room. Four of them and one appears to be near where the hostages are at. One is on the walkway alone, the third is on the lower level, and the fifth is near the doorway.

He glides over to one of the gargoyles in the room where he sees no ceiling over one of the rooms. He falls down and using his cowl vision sees the wall where one of the criminals is at is a weak wall. Using his explosive gel he sets it on the wall and then uses his grappling gun to get to the gargoyle. He then heads to the second guard, with the third who is making his way up the stairs.

He waits for the right time to strike as both men pass each other by. He glides down and gets behind one of them and puts him in a sleeper hold. Once he is knocked out he goes for the third, punched him in the head, and then locked in the hold before knocking him out too. He then used his grappling gun to get back to one of the gargoyles.

He takes out his detonator and activates it knocking out the third criminal. The fourth is alerted by this and goes to check it out, but Batman glides in and kicks him through the glass. Knocking him out and saving the hostages. Batman turns to the hostages who are relieved to see who saved them.

"Your safe now," said Batman as one of the doctors goes to free his friend from the gurney is he on. "Are you all right?"

"We are now thanks to you," said the male doctor as he helps his friend out.

A female red-headed doctor approached Batman and thanks him. "Thank you for saving us."

"It's all right. But mind telling me what happened?" Batman asked hoping to get an idea to know if there are other doctors who were here.

"I don't know. One minute we were doing our evening rounds, and the next, armed thugs burst into the room and took us hostage," the female doctor replied.

"Did they have anyone with them?" Batman asked wondering if Harley took Obi Wan through here.

"They took someone into the elevator. I couldn't tell who it was," the female doctor replied.

Batman looks to the elevator and tries pressing a button, but finds it isn't working. "It appeared they didn't want to be followed. The elevator has been powered down," he then turns to the doctors as they gather near him. "You're going to be OK here, but if they took any of your companions do you know where they took them?"

"Doctor Kellerman was in the Patient Observation Room and Dr. Chen went into Surgery," the female doctor replied remembering where their other friends are at.

"And Dr. Young went to X-ray," said one of the male doctors.

Dr. Young? That name sounded familiar to Batman. Yes, he remembers. Joker spoke to her when he was brought in and from the look on her face she looked terrified.

It's possible the two knew each other, but this felt different. Regardless, he needs to go save her.

"Stay here and I'll go find the other doctors," said Batman as he heads off to help find the doctors. "Oracle, can you hear me?"

"Loud and clear. Did you find Obi Wan?" she asked as she couldn't see her brother through any of the cameras where he is at.

"No, but I am getting close. I saved some of the doctors who said they saw him being taken down an elevator to the lower level of the facility," said Batman as he ties up Joker's men and makes sure they don't escape. "I'm off to rescue some of the other doctors and then I'll go save Obi Wan."

"Lower level of the facility? I don't remember that being on the blueprints," said Oracle as she pulls up the schematics of the prison and found no levels below the medical facility. "There's nothing there."

Batman stopped and looks over at the elevator. "Give me a minute," he replied before going to one of the doctors. "What's down there?"

"Not sure," said the female doctor he spoke to earlier. "We were told it is off-limits though by those who don't have security clearance. But from what we heard it is where they keep some of they do some testing with the samples they gathered."

Batman looks back at the door and then thought back about what Joker said before he began walking away. "Oracle. When was construction for the planet finished?"

"That's what I was just looking at," Oracle finished going through the files and sighed. "At first it says Luthor helped build the facility, but after hacking my way through his files I found that he wasn't the only one who had a hand in helping with the construction."

"Who?" Batman asked as he makes his way to find the hostages.

Oracle sighed as she gave the names knowing full well her brother is going to be pissed. "According to this there is a silent partner or rather two of them. Governor Wilhuff Tarkin and Amanda Blake Waller of Cadmus."

Coruscant

Meanwhile, back at the capitol of the Republic the citizens of the planet are going about their night like it was any other night. Unaware of what is going on at the Arkham prison. All they were told is the Joker has been captured and is locked up. The citizens can now soundly sleep well knowing the crazed clown is gone.

Unaware that Clone soldiers are seen going to key parts of the city to find any bomb the Joker placed. They checked at the Jedi Temple, the Senate building, and even the apartments of the senators. Checking every bit of these locations to find the bomb. So far, nothing suspicious has been found, but they are still looking.

Ahsoka and Lux are seen in their costumes helping out as well. Both heroes went to location they believe the Joker will target. Locations like hospitals, military bases, or even the prison on the planet. Any place they believe can be targeted by the Joker.

"Oracle, can you hear me?" said Ahsoka is her Batwoman costume. It is black with the Bat symbol on her chest, but the symbol is red than yellow like her old one.

"I'm here, Batwoman, what's up?" Oracle asked.

Ahsoka looks through her binoculars at the hospital that is front of her. "I'm at the last hospital. Nightwing finished with his inspection at the Republic's ships. So far, nothing has been found. Once I'm done here I will go help him out."

"Roger that and I got some updates from Padme. She said they found some explosive devices on three different worlds. However, they haven't done anything yet until they get a bomb squad," said Oracle as she looks at the images shown on screen. "They were all located in high-level places."

"Like a hospital filled with sick children," said Batwoman as she fired her rocket boots and flies off to the rooftop. "How is Batman doing? Did he find Obi Wan?"

"Not yet, but he is close," said Oracle as she also decided to inform Ahsoka what she found. "I also found out the prison wasn't just made from Luthor. He had a partner, Amanda Waller."

Ahsoka stopped half-way and flew towards the balcony near the roof as she lands. "Amanda Waller? As in Cadmus? The genetic engineering facility?"

Ahsoka remembered hearing about the facility and how it was founded seven years ago by a scientist. He was funded by the Republic when Palpatine was in charge. Most likely to help him with any experiments that the Sith Lord wanted to use. However, it was planned to be shut down once Palpatine was killed.

Governor Tarkin though took control of the facility and placed it under the care of Amanda Waller. Both began pushing their agenda how thanks to the Batman, strange and powerful enemies began emerging from the shadow. Those who possess power that even surpasses the Jedi. So, they were tasked to help develop new weapons for the Republic to use, but Daniel knew they were up to something and were not to be trusted.

"Why would they get involved in making the prison? What do they get out of this?"

Oracle sighed through her com-link. "I wish I knew. I tried hacking into their files, but they are encrypted. It will take me some time to get through them, but they seem to be connected to a hidden facility that is found beneath the Medical Facility building. Whatever they were up to then Batman will find it."

"If you say so," said Batwoman who knew even if they did find something these people will most likely cover their tracks.

She takes out her grappling gun and fires it to the roof as she heads up to the top. Once she got there she spots what appears to be a large box with a handle to the side.

She goes to her wrist gauntlet and pressed a button that caused her cowl vision to go inferred. "Oracle, you seeing this?"

Oracle can see through Ahsoka's mask and what she is seeing. "Joker's toy, but it is surrounded by something that is keeping us from seeing inside. However, I am not detecting any sort of chemicals or energy readings of it being a bomb."

"Still, just in case," Batwoman calls for the Batwing to fly over her. She has it fire a crane down on it and picks it up as she prepares to have it be moved somewhere else. "Call Nightwing and tell him I found the bomb."

"I will and be careful," said Oracle as she begins contacting her friend.

Ahsoka flies off the roof and follows the Batwing as it flies down to an empty parking lot. Once it was down she took out a Batarang and tossed it at the box. The box opens and caused a Jack-in-the-Box to appear wearing a straightjacket. The head soon came off revealing a grenade as the pin fell off.

Ahsoka used her rocket boots and flies off as the box exploded, but it didn't create a large explosion. Instead if released Confetti all around the parking lot. She flies back down and sees a note falling down to her. She grabs it and reads what it say.

"Made you look," she read as she crumbles the paper together and tosses it away. "Oracle, it was a fake. The bomb was only a distraction they aren't real."

"I know," Oracle replied as she sees through video surveillance that the Clones and law enforcement on the other worlds found the bombs, which all were duds. "This was just to keep them busy. Not that they know though they will most likely attack the prison."

"Not unless he has something else planned," said Batwoman knowing Joker has more tricks. "Should we try going in now?"

Oracle was tempted, but knew if they are up to something she will help. "No, for now I will send Batgirl to assist Batman."

"Batgirl?" Batwoman asked surprised that Oracle is sending the kid. "You sure she's ready? I mean, I think Batman said to keep her out until he says so."

"Right now you guys are needed to help the Jedi and make sure Joker doesn't have any more tricks," said Oracle as she pressed a button and sighed. "I already had her on standby. Batman might not like this…but he needs all the help he can get."

Arkham

Batman had managed to save two of the doctors from being killed by the Joker and his men. He even helped save Aaron Cash, a senior security guard of the prison. Cash was trapped with the doctor inside a part of the prison where the Joker unleashed his Joker Gas in the room. Batman managed to get the gas out and save everyone inside.

Once he got them back to safety he went to help save Dr. Penelope Young. The last doctor who is in the X-ray room, where he suspect Joker's men are keeping her locked up.

After finding out the prison was funded by Cadmus, Batman had his sister look up any information on what they are up to. She hasn't been able to find out much, but was able to gain information about employees that worked for Cadmus, but now work in the prison. One of them appears to be Dr. Young. She was only there for a few months, but was recommended by Waller.

If she knows what is going on in the lower levels he will need to find out. If this has anything to do with what the Joker is up to then he has to hurry.

He arrives in the room and sees no one around. As he heads to the office he hears some noises coming from inside. Using his cowl vision he detects five armed men and one civilian inside. The other one must be the doctor. As he looks for a way in without endangering the doctor he spots two weak walls near the men.

He takes out his explosive gel to use when he hears the doctor talking to the men. "Why are you doing this? I have done exactly as you've asked.

"Look at me! You think I care?" said one of the men. "Stop your whining and listen good! If anyone goes near you without Joker's express permission, then I've been ordered to make sure you are taken out ASAP. Looks like you're our bargaining chip."

He sets up the gel and uses them to explode the wall. Knocking out all five men as he makes his way inside to find the doctor in the corner.

"Are you all right?"

"Yeah," Dr. Young replied as she sees Batman saving her. "What's gong on? They were talking like they were in control. Is it true that Joker escaped?"

"Unfortunately, yes. But not for long," said Batman as he begins questioning the doctor. "When I came into the prison I noticed Joker knew you. Are you his doctor?"

"Yes," Dr. Young replied for the Batman. "I've been studying the Joker's case for months when he broke out. The Warden was very specific he wanted Joker cured."

"Was he the only one?" Batman asked as he got a questionable look from the doctor. "I know about Cadmus and how you work for them."

"Used to work for them," said Dr. Young as she begins getting out of the rubble. "I worked for them until I asked to be transferred here. The Warden liked my work and wanted me to help him cure criminals like the Joker."

"And the facility beneath the prison?" Batman asked causing the doctor to stop when he mentioned this. "I know Cadmus is working beneath the facility. What are they up to?"

Dr. Young turns to Batman and sighed. "I honestly don't know. I was working more with projects to help with the criminal mind and how to cure them. Whatever they were doing down there I didn't ask and didn't tell."

Batman could hear some of the men beginning to come to so Batman tosses a pellet to let out a knockout gas to keep them out. "Let's get you back with the others and then we will talk about this some more."

Batman makes his way back to where the doctors and also sees Cash working with some of his men to help secure the prisoners. He leaves Dr. Young with Cash, while he goes to check on the other doctors.

"How are the others?" he asked the same female doctor from earlier.

"They are all right. A little shaken, but they will be safe thanks to you," said the female doctor as she helps give one of her colleagues something to drink. "What do we do now?"

"It's too dangerous to leave the building. I suggest you all find a room to barricade yourselves in and stay there," Batman suggested knowing with Joker's men now with armed weapons they will be shot at. "The Republic will be here soon to help get you out."

"Batman! We've got another problem," said Cash as he is walking with Dr. Young.

"I need to get back to the Mansion. All my research notes are there. We can't risk the Joker getting his hands on them," Dr. Young explained sounding concerned.

"What is in those notes that is dangerous for the Joker?" Batman asked wondering if this is what he is looking for.

"Just some work I have been developing with the Warden to help cure these criminals," said Dr. Young, but Batman knew she is lying.

"Even so. It's not safe, Doctor. The island's a war zone. You won't stand a chance," said Batman who isn't going to risk the doctor's life for her notes, which he feels are more secured where they are at.

"I'll get here there, Batman," said Cash who volunteered to help the doctor. "I need to check with my men anyways and see if we can get back control of the prison."

Batman was about to say no to this when he hears the elevator activating. "Who called the elevator?"

"Wasn't us," the female doctor replied. "It's coming from the lower floor!"

"Cash, take Dr. Young! Get her notes and then find somewhere safe to hole up," said Batman as he turns to the other doctors. "Everyone else, go to the Observation Room. Barricade yourselves in!"

Batman used his grappling bun to fly up to one of the gargoyles and stays up there when he sees three armed men coming in. He needed to get them away from the doctors so he used his Batarang to get their attention. The men see him and opened fire. Batman jumps away and used his rocket boots to glide around the room as the men continued firing at him.

He tossed a Batarang at one of them hitting the gun and causing it to explode. This distraction allowed him to grab one of the men and toss him from up high. Just before the man can hit the ground he wrapped the man's feet together with a cable. He then attached the cable to one of the gargoyles as it lifts him up.

Batman flies over and punched him in the face, released the cable, grabs him, and tossed him into the third man. The thug tried to grab his gun after pushing his friend off of him. Batman flies in and kicks him into the elevator, but just as the door began to close. He got half-way in as the door stopped closing and from moving since it will not move or close so long as something is blocking the doors.

Batman grab the criminal and tosses him out. He placed a Batarang in the elevator door to keep it from closing as he ties up the men to make sure they don't harm the doctors. Once that was done he goes inside and pulls his weapon out before putting it away. As the elevator door closed he sees on the video screen the Joker appearing.

"Too easy! Think about it. I've got you trapped in a little metal box. Hanging precariously over a deadly drop," said the Joker who seems to be playing at the idea of killing Batman. "What say I just blow the emergency brakes and drop you like a sack of puppies?"

Batman though didn't say anything or his expression changed as Joker played around with this idea. "Say goodnight, Bats…" the Joker looks like is about to press something, but then begins laughing. "Boom! Only kidding."

The elevator soon begins moving down as Joker continued speaking to him. He knew Joker wouldn't kill him, not like this at least.

"Got a few more surprises in store for you. Prepare to face your fears," he said as Batman's suit alerts him of a form of toxin entering the room. "All of them!"

Batman soon realized Joker is unleashing something in the room. Before his mask could block out the toxin he took several breaths of it. He begins having his suit analyze the toxin, while hearing some sort of strange noise around the elevator. It sounded like screaming as the elevator stopped and the door opened.

He then hears someone shouting, followed by another familiar voice. "Please, Dr. Crane, don't do this!"

"There is no Crane…" said the second voice as it soon sounded like another voice over the second one. "Only Scarecrow!"

Batman sees people inside a room behind the glass as they are screaming inside. Acting like something is attacking them, but there is nothing there. A patient appears on the glass and begins banging on it. Begging to be free before all the people inside drop to the ground dead.

Batman sees a large shadowy figure behind the men and rushes over to the bars where he got a glimpse of who it was. "Crane."

Looks like Dr. Scarecrow is here. How are things going to go now? How will Batman deal with the doctor who uses fear on his victims? Will it go the same way from the game?

Who is also going to come by to help Batman? Who is this other Batgirl? Will it be someone that we know? Or someone new?
