Chapter thirteen or rather chapter 60 is here folks and sorry for taking a while to get this up. The hours at work are getting longer, trying to get everyone's gifts for the holidays, and have been spending time with mi amor. I've finally managed to get this chapter done though, so ready to resume where I left off. I just hope you are all doing well, and you are all staying safe.
Anyways, last time we saw Batman and Robin finally made it to Talia. Will this encounter go exactly like from the game or will it go differently? Will Batman make it to Ra's? And will he get his blood in time to Freeze before it's too late?
We also saw the Clones defeat another Riddler riddle, while Cassandra is off to save Freeze's wife. Will the Clones get to Riddler? Will Cassandra find Nora? Or will they run into any other trouble?
Tune in today to find out and time for 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. Now let's continue with the story and enjoy the third Arkham story!
Story III: Chapter XIII
Coruscant
Cassandra is seen on top of an old radio tower. Looking across from her, the Joker's lair. She could see security has been beefed up. She could see more armed criminals surrounding the area and sees them setting up some turrets. Ready to fire upon any intruders that come their way.
She knows she shouldn't go anywhere near the Joker's lair on her own, but she knows she has to do this. Victor Fries aka Mister Freeze's wife is somewhere locked around here. It's because of the Joker that Freeze was forced to try making a cure for the poison in the clown's body. Using his wife to make him do whatever he wants, knowing full well he'll do anything to save his wife.
It's because of that determination and drive that led to Victor working for a corrupted corporate man, which led to the accident. That led to his body being unable to survive outside of sub-zero temperature. As a result of this, he became a criminal to acquire the funds needed to continue his research. To save his wife and bring her back to the world.
Even if he can't feel her warmth, if she's alive, that's all that will matter to him.
"Oracle, have you been able to track down the exact location of where Victor's wife is at?" Batgirl asked knowing she won't be able to find Nora without some help.
"I think so. I may not have complete access to Arkham City, but I can still gain access to their systems to determine where the power they use for the whole city is going," Oracle shows this by showing how different areas in the city are using a low amount of power, a medium amount, to a large amount. "It seems there's an area right here in this warehouse where there's a lot of power being used. I'm also detecting low temperature in this area."
"Sub-Zero most likely," said Batgirl knowing this is a good place to try finding Nora. "Saving her isn't going to be the problem. Getting her back to Freeze is the question. I don't suppose my dad has been working on something that might help with this problem?"
Oracle knew there was something she was working on with Lucius, but she isn't sure if its ready. "There is something, but it hasn't been field-tested yet. I had hope to give it to present it to you all in case you ran into some heavy-hitters, but it should do the trick."
Batgirl didn't know what her aunt had made, but she knew whatever it was, must be perfect for the job. "All right. I'll proceed to move in to rescue Nora Fries. In the meantime, how's my father? Is he doing okay?"
"I can't seem to reach him due to where he's at. His suit though shows he's getting worse, but they found the assassin," Oracle replied as she saw the tracker that was placed on the assassin is where the others are at. "I'm guessing they found Talia, which means they'll get Ra's blood."
Batgirl got worried when Oracle brought up how her father's condition has worsened. She's glad to know that they found Talia, but now they need to get the blood and make it back. She just hopes her father has a plan to do this. She wished she could be down there to help him, but she knows if they want Freeze to make the cure, she needs to save his wife.
"Father knows what he's doing, and I know Damian will make sure he makes it out of this alive," said Batgirl who despite her feelings about Damian, she knows he'll do everything in his power to bring their father home in one piece. "I just hope they aren't walking into some sort of trap."
"Talia may be a lot of things, but deep down she loves your father. She has proven it time and time again when she would help him, against her father's orders," Oracle may not like her, but she knows Talia will help Daniel, no matter what. "Don't worry about her too much. Just focus on saving Nora and be careful. If you need any other backup, let me know, okay?"
"I know and thank you, Oracle," said Batgirl who appreciates everything her aunt has done for her. "And also, please send the invention to my location after I've located and secured Mrs. Fries."
"Understood and Cassandra, please be careful," said Oracle who knows her niece will be fine, but she still wants to say it.
"I will. Don't worry," said Batgirl before she heads off to sneak into the Joker's lair.
Batgirl made her way around the buildings, trying to avoid being spotted. The last thing she needed was to be seen by the Joker's men. If they did, then they'll do whatever it takes to kill her or worse. So, she snuck around and used the shadow to remain hidden from the criminals, who thankfully didn't have any lights to spot her.
She spotted some snipers with scopes that would likely be able to see her. But she avoid them as well and continued making her way towards the warehouse, where she believes Nora is being kept.
Once she got there, she spotted what appeared to be 30 armed men outside of the building. A lot more numbers than some of the other areas. To her surprise, she spotted who appears to be Killer Croc nearby. She stayed hidden and tries to avoid him smelling her. If he knows she's here, then this will be a problem.
Fortunately, his focus seems to be on the food he's eating. A large pile of mutilated animals.
She turns her attention towards the inside of the warehouse and begins using her mask to see through the building. Using her inferred, she could see a total of twenty armed men through their body heat. While finding one with no body heat and appears to be frozen.
"Nora," she whispered quietly before returning her vision to normal. "Now, how do I get inside?"
She knows she won't be able to get through any vents on the roof or around the building. However, Oracle did send her the schematics of the building. It seems there's a pipe that leads inside the building. She begins making her way down there, unaware that Killer Croc stopped eating his food when he caught a familiar scent.
One that he recognized and knows who it belongs to.
Meanwhile, Batgirl made her way through the pipe and finds it leads to a lower level. This area has a vent, which luckily for her, she could fit through and took her towards the area where the criminals are at. Batgirl knows she'll need to be careful here. She'll need the element of surprise to get the drop on them.
She begins setting up some stun mines underneath the five men that are on top of her. She then begins placing some explosives to blow the floor under the men. Once this was done, she took out some smoke bombs and prepares to use them. She'll need to be quick and not miss.
The men inside of the room don't seem to be aware of what was going on. They were just told to keep an eye out for Mister Freeze's wife. To ensure Freeze and Batman won't get to her. And if they do, then they have permission to kill her.
Even when the Joker gets the cure and is saved, they'll still kill her. If the unlikelihood that Joker dies without getting the cure, then she dies. Either way, there's no scenario where she lives. And the Joker's men are fine with that.
Suddenly an explosion erupted under five of the Joker's men, causing them to fall in before getting electrocuted. Smoke bombs are thrown into the room as the fifteen men begin to panic and open fire. Batgirl flew out of the hold and lands on the ceiling of the room before firing small projectiles at the com-links of the criminals. Destroying them and preventing them from calling for backup.
One of the criminals was able to see Batgirl and opens fire to try killing her. Batgirl though avoids getting shot and flies down towards him. She slashes through his gun before kicking his right knee out, then wraps a wire around his arms before pressing a button. The wire sends the criminal flying up into the air, before being left hanging in the air.
She sees four men running at her, but she uses her cloaking device to avoid getting attacked. The four men miss their punches and end up hitting one another. Batgirl leaps over and wraps her legs around one of the criminals before launching him towards the other. The two men crash towards a crate, before the other two charge in at her.
Batgirl leg sweeps one of the men before leaping over the punch over another. She then hits a foot stomp right on the man's face, knocking him out. She drives her foot back to kick the fourth criminal in the groin, before leaps up, wraps her left arm around his neck, and drives his head down on the ground, knocking him out.
The other two criminals from before beginning to slowly before, before she threw two Batarangs at them, which ended up producing an electrical shock, knocking them out.
The smoke soon begins to clear and there are ten men left. All with their guns aimed at Batgirl and look ready to kill her. Batgirl though threw a ball in the air and kneels. Wrapping herself with her cape, before the ball blows up and releases a powerful bright light. This blinded the criminals, who couldn't see at all.
Batgirl then stood back up and threw a Batarang, which she has programmed to spin around the room. Cutting through all the weapons of the criminals before it returns to her hand. She then took out ten Cryo-grenades and threw them at all ten criminals. Freezing them all instantly.
Once they are down, she looks over to where Nora's cryotube is being kept and sighs in relief. She walks over and begins checking her condition to see she's okay. The machine here seems to be keeping her cryotube working. Without disturbing her cryo-sleep.
She begins contacting Victor, to let him know the news. "Mister Freeze, I found your wife. She's in a warehouse in the southwest part of the Joker's lair. I have something being sent to me, which will allow me to transport her back to you, while keeping her cryotube operational."
To prove she found Nora, she begins showing Freeze the hologram image of his wife. Still frozen, but very much safe from the Joker's men.
"Nora, my love. She's alive," said Victor who is relief to hear and see his wife is okay. "Thank you, child. I…I didn't think you were going to go find her. It appears, I was wrong. Thank you."
Batgirl knew that when it comes to trust, Victor didn't have a lot of it to go around. So, to find out she was going to go find Nora, she's sure Freeze doubted she'd be able to do it. Maybe to him it was all a ruse to get him to work on the cure. So, for her to find Nora and risk her life to do it, well its seems to have shown Victor how wrong he was about her.
"It's okay, Victor. Please have whatever you use to power her cryotube ready. I'll be there soon," said Batgirl before she ends the transmission and sighs before looking up at the tube. "If whatever Oracle send will help at all."
Suddenly, she heard a loud bang coming from the door as she hears a loud roar. It was Killer Croc. She can hear him roaring outside and hear him banging at the door. She rushes over and makes sure its locked, which thankfully it is.
"I know you're in there, child! I can smell you!" Killer Croc shouted through the door. "I don't smell the Batman, but I will still take great pleasure in devouring his ward."
Oh, this is just what she needed. A psychotic monster threatening to eat her, while she hears the Joker's men all cheering Croc on.
"This is not good," said Batgirl knowing she's going to need to find a way out of this.
Batgirl knows she's out of cryo-grenade and doesn't have anything that can take on Croc or the Joker's men. She begins backing away from the door, while trying to figure out a plan.
She can't leave Nora here, since they'll likely kill her. She can't fight them all on her own though since Croc alone will be too much for her to handle. She needs more time. Time to come up with a proper plan and to come up with something to get out of this alive.
"Oracle, can you hear me?" Batgirl decides to contact her aunt to see if she can help. "I found Nora, but Killer Croc and Joker's men are outside of the warehouse. They're trying to break in, and I've got nothing to fight them all with."
"Don't worry. I've got something to care of Killer Croc and the Joker's men," said Oracle as she reassures her niece help is on the way. "Just remember, what I'm going to send you has not been properly tested. At least, in combat. However, I believe it will still work well. Just don't go crazy with it, okay?"
"I understand," said Batgirl who wasn't the type to go crazy with anything her aunt makes.
Unlike Lux or Damian, she's careful with the weapons she's given. Only to use them to disarm her foes or to end a fight as fast as possible. So, whatever her aunt is sending, she believes will be effective, especially against someone like Killer Croc. She just hopes it will arrive in time to help her.
Suddenly Batgirl hears something flying over her. She looks up and soon something comes crashing through the ceiling. Once the dust begins to settle, Batgirl sees its some sort of large black container, with the bat symbol on it. She walks over it and wonders if this is the project her aunt was referring to.
She presses her hand on the container before it begins glowing. It soon begins to open, revealing inside exactly what her aunt has been working on. If her mask was off, people would be able to see the big grin on her face. Now this is exactly what she was looking for to not only take down Killer Croc, but also stop the Joker's men, and bring Nora to Victor Fries in one piece.
Meanwhile
Batman and his son, Robin both made it to where Talia is at. It wasn't easy, especially given Batman's current condition. Fortunately for them, they made it. They made it to where Talia is at and hopefully, where Ra's is at.
Now, comes the hard part. Trying to convince Talia to take them to Ra's. Batman knows he can't simply tell her to take him to Ra's. This means he'll need to lie to her, which is something he doesn't want to do, especially how he knows he can get her to help them.
Like she has done before. Defying her father and helping do the right thing. Maybe this time, he can do the same. Without having to hurt her, again.
"Hello there, beloved," said Talia as she stood before the two heroes.
"Hello there, Talia," said Batman towards both his ex-girlfriend and the mother of his son. "It's been some time."
"Indeed, it has," said Talia ss she turns to Robin. "Hello, my son. I see you have grown since I last saw you."
Damian knew the guards were loyal to his mother and not to Ra's. So, none would dare reveal to his grandfather who he is and betray their master. It also helped keep him safe from harm. And prevented his grandfather from knowing who he is and who his father is.
"Hello mother. I knew our path would cross again someday. I also knew it'd be something like this," said Robin who didn't doubt the next time he saw his mother, would be through whatever his grandfather is planning.
"And how did you two find us here?" Talia asked wondering how her beloved and her son found them here of all places.
"I recognized your personal guard. It was just matter of…" Batman begins pressing a button on his wrist gauntlet, which caused the tracker on the assassin's back to begin emitting a sound. "…following her."
Talia walks over to the assassin and pulls off the tracker from her back, while looking disappointed in her. "Leave, all of you. I will deal with you later," said Talia to her guards, including the one that was tracked.
Once they left, Talia turns to her son and former lover. "You didn't need to do all of this to come see me, Daniel. You and I both know if you wanted to see me, you could have called."
"Unfortunately, Talia, I didn't come here for you. I'm here for your father. Where is he?" Batman asked knowing he'll need to be careful with what he says to get her to let him see Ra's.
"Well, unfortunately for you, my beloved, only a true successor may stand before the great Ra's al Ghul," said Talia as she walks over to the two, while explaining why he can't see her father.
"That never stopped me before. What's changed?" Batman asked knowing before he always was brought before Ra's. Now? Not anymore? Something is wrong.
"The real question is, why do you wish to see him? You never tried seeking out my father before and I doubt you plan to reveal our son to him," said Talia as she walks over when she noticed something. "And I can hear your breathing sounds different."
Damian too noticed this and knew his mother was trained to always detect the change in someone's behavior. Even in the way their bodies are acting.
"We have been rather busy, mother. Fighting against the Joker, the Penguin, and other criminals of this prison city," said Damian as he tries to hide what his father is going through.
"All the more reason why my father wants you to join us, Daniel. Think about it. With the League of Assassin under your control, we would finally bring peace to the galaxy. We'd finally make things better for everyone," said Talia as she stood in front of Daniel and begins moving her hands along his mask. "A better place for our family."
She begins to slowly remove his mask when she stops after noticing his neck looking pale. She let's go and realizes what's wrong. "You're sick. You have been poisoned by the clown, haven't you?"
Damian looks on surprised by this that his mother knows about the Joker's poison blood. "You've known about this? How long?"
"A few weeks now. One of our spies came back poisoned with the clown's blood," Talia explains how his skin became pale like how Daniel is like, before he eventually succumbed to the poison. "It seems you have been poisoned by him as well."
"I have," said Batman knowing he'll need to be upfront with Talia and take the risk. "So has many people on Coruscant. Innocent people who have all been poisoned by his blood. I came here because your father's blood is the only thing that can help save the people. Will you let me stand before him?"
Talia was surprised to hear what has happened up above. She knew the Joker was dying, but she didn't know he would use his poisoned blood to harm the innocent people. It seems once again; they have underestimated the lengths this clown will go to create chaos. Something she knew her father has warned Daniel about before about letting him live.
"We told you, you should have killed him long ago before he could take more innocent lives. Now? Here you are dying, and you believe my father will help you? What makes you think I'll help you?" Talia asked knowing with Daniel gone, her father can finally go through with his plans and cleanse this galaxy of its criminals for good.
Batman…no, Daniel removes his mask and approached Talia before he moves his right hand to grasps her hand. "Because I need you," he replied, which gets a small surprise response from Talia. "Your right. There were many times when I could have killed the Joker. I could have killed him when we first met and make sure he would never harm an innocent soul again. But if I did that, I wouldn't be the man you fell in love."
No, he would have just been one of the monsters she despised. Killing criminals, no matter who they are. Whether they be old or even young. Just like she knows her father has done before.
"That's why you left Damian with me. That's why you left our son, so he could be saved from the life you went through and be spared from your father. I know you still believe in his cause, but I also know you love me. Just like I still love you," said Daniel, showing no signs of lie or deception in his tone. "Talia, I need your help. Will you please help us?"
Talia looks at Daniel's pale sickly face before she begins slowly grasping his hand back. She knew what he says is very much true. Even after all they have gone through, she still loves him. She still loves Daniel with all her heart and would do anything to help him.
Even if it means defying her father.
She turns to her son, who too removed his mask to show his face. She could see a lot of Daniel in their son. He's growing up fast and she knows he'll be a better successor to her beloved, than to her father. She turns to Daniel once more, before she leans in to kiss him.
Daniel slowly began kissing her back as the two ex-lovers embraced in a moment together. While Damian looks away with his right hand covering his eyes. Yes, he has seen kisses before. But didn't mean he wanted to see his parents' kiss.
The two ex-lovers soon broke the kiss as Talia helps put Daniel's mask back on. "I will help you, my beloved. However, my father will not allow anyone other than myself to see him. In order to gain an audience with him, you must go through the Demon Trials."
Robin looks on shocked when his mother mentioned the Demon Trials and knows of the danger. "Father, no, that's too dangerous, especially in your current condition."
Damian explains that the trial is something all those who wish to take Ra's al Ghul's place must all take. One that has been taken by thousands of people and all of them have failed. He doesn't know much about the trials, since it is only conducted by those who take it. And none have ever returned to tell what it is like.
"I agree, but fortunately there is something that will help him get through the trial. Assuming you are sure about doing this, my beloved," said Talia knowing the dangers of the trial as well but believes Daniel can accomplish this. "Thousands of warriors have fallen in pursuit of the Demon. Would-be successors have proven to be nothing more than children battling the enormity of creation."
"Sounds dangerous, but then again, this isn't my first time going through something like this," said Batman knowing he needs to do this in order to save the people.
"Nothing can prepare you for what comes next. Destiny will decide your fate," said Talia as she moves her right hand along his chest. "And I hope it will lead you back to me."
"I won't fail," said Batman knowing he can't fail, not with everything riding on this. "Damian, stay with Talia. Understand?"
Robin wasn't happy that his father was going through with this, but he knows he is the only one who could pass these trials and come back alive. He could do it himself, but he knows he isn't up there on the same level as his father. Not yet. So, he'll put his trust and faith in his father.
"Just come back in one piece. I don't want to go back and tell Aunt Abigail you died," said Robin who is hoping his father will come back.
Talia claps her hands and soon a hidden floor begins to open. Revealing a staircase that will take them down to the room for the trial. Talia explains to Daniel that there will a chalice inside the room he will enter. The chalice contains a special elixir that will help heal him from the poison.
Not completely since this is only temporary. However, it will help him regain his strength and make this a fair trial for him.
They soon make it before a door, which is protected by Talia's personal guards. All with their swords out and they are posing with them as a form of a salute.
"Your journey begins through this door," said Talia as she points to the door. Just as Batman prepares to go through it, Talia steps forward. "Are you sure, Daniel? Only one man has passed this ordeal."
"Are you trying to talk me out of this?" Batman asked.
"Of course not. I just…" Talia moves out of the way, while she tries to explain herself better. "I just want you to be certain. When the Blood of the Demon takes hold, you will be on your own. Neither myself nor our son can get involved. You will have to battle this yourself. And you must succeed to save the people from the clown."
Batman grasps her hand and gives it a reassuring squeeze. "Talia, I'll make it. Trust me."
Talia let's out a small sigh before she turns to her son, who gives his mother a small nod. It seems he trusts his father's judgement about doing this on his own. So, she'll need to do the same too. She leans in and gives him a small kiss before she stood back.
"Then may the spirits be kind," said Talia as she watches Batman walk past her and head inside the room. "Good luck…beloved."
Meanwhile
Meanwhile, outside of the warehouse, Killer Croc continued pounding at the door. Trying to break it open, knowing one of Batman's wards is inside. The Joker's men all cheering him on. All cheering for him to break the door open, to kill Batman's kid, and to even leave them something to bash in.
Killer Croc soon managed to pierce through the middle of the door and begins bending it open. He looks inside and finds the inside is pitch black. Perhaps Batman's ward believes the darkness will protect them. As if that would help.
"Even if the whole room is dark, it will not save you," said Killer Croc as he opens the door enough to stick his head in and sniffs around. "I can still smell you, child. No matter where you are in this room, I will find you. I will make sure you are alive when I devour you. And I'll make sure to hold what is left of your remains to the Batman when he arrives to—"
Suddenly a large robotic hand grabs Killer Croc's face before it repeatedly pulls him inside the room. Creating a large hole in the door, while the men all look on shocked. Some even went close to the door to see what was going on. They could hear Killer Croc yelling in pain, while loud crashes echoed around the building, and what sounds like something mechanical inside.
The men tried to use their flashlights, only for Killer Croc to be send flying towards them. The men moved out of the way, just as Killer Croc came crashing through the door and to the ground. The men approached Killer Croc, finding him not only unconscious, but appeared covered in bruises. Including a swollen face with a few missing teeth.
"W-What the hell did this? Batman's little sidekick?" one of the men asked as they hear noises behind them.
All the men drew their weapons out and aimed it at the hole in the warehouse. Fear begins now gripping them, which was different than how they were acting moments ago. They hear something approaching them. They didn't know what it was, but it was big.
Soon, the men begin opening fire. Believing they should shoot whatever it is coming their way, then wait for it to come to them. The men continued firing for what felt like forever, until eventually they ran out of ammo. They soon stopped firing and wait to see if they took down whatever it was that took out Killer Croc.
No noise came from inside the building. The men believed they shot down whatever it was that attacked Killer Croc, and this caused the men to all sigh in relief.
However, that changed when they saw two glowing blue eyes staring at them, followed by a glowing Bat symbol on its chest. The figure soon begins to emerge from the shadows. It was a large, bulky, robot that looks like the Batman. Only more mechanical.
The men all backed away in fear when they saw this as the Bat robot or rather Batbot soon stood up showing its around 10 foot tall. Inside the suit, Batgirl is seen controlling it. She's in the center of the machine, where it's controlled by motion. So, whatever she does, the robot will do as well.
"This is amazing. You made this suit to help father against his most dangerous enemies?" Batgirl asked in the suit, as she's able to see what is going on outside.
"Well, this was Mr. Fox's idea. We both felt with people like Bane, Croc, and other heavy hitters out there, that your father would need something to help even the odds," said Oracle as she communicates with her niece through the suit. "I haven't told your father yet, but I think he'll be very pleased with this."
"I know I am," said Batgirl who couldn't wait to try this out. "Now, time to see what else it can do."
"Just take it easy and try not to do anything reckless, okay? We still need to get Nora to Freeze," said Oracle as checks Nora's cryo-tube, which is attached to the back of the suit. "The suit is helping power her cryo-tube, but it's only temporary."
Batgirl nods, understanding she'll need to end this fast. "Then, let's get this over with and get back to Freeze."
The men all begin reloading and opened fire. Trying to take down this robot, but their blasters bounced off the armored suit. Batgirl presses a button nearby, which causes smoke to emit around the area. The men couldn't see anything but kept on firing.
Hoping their attacks will eventually work. One of the men pulled out a rocket launcher and fired it at the robot. The suit detected the danger, and Batgirl activates a shield. Protecting her from the attack, but the men didn't know this.
Batgirl runs over and leaps over the men before she fires a sonic repulser blast. This sends half of the men flying into the air and towards the wall of the warehouse, getting knocked out. The rest of the men look on shocked by this, but the smoke made it difficult for them to see where the robot went as it disappeared into the smoke. They begin contacting Harley Quinn and let her know what's going on. She replied to them to stop being chicken shits and fight harder.
Killer Croc begins to slowly recover as he coughs up some blood, while wondering what just happened. The Batbot soon landed behind him and grabs him by his legs. Before using him to hit most of the men, taking them out. Batgirl sends Killer Croc flying into the air, before she sees the last few of the men all approaching her with rocket launchers.
Preparing to fire at her and finish her off. Batgirl though activates the Batbot's right arm as a magnet. To pull the weapons off the hands of the men, along with their belts and anything else metal. The men begin to panic as the Batbot destroys the weapons.
Batgirl takes a step forward, which caused the men to back away. However, this was done to get them in position for Killer Croc's body to come crashing down on them. Knocking the remaining men out and even knocking out Killer Croc, again. Batgirl looks around seeing everyone is knocked out and no signs of any danger.
"Mission accomplished. Thank you so much, Oracle," said Batgirl who thanks her aunt for the invention. "This really came in handy when I needed it."
"Glad to hear it. Now, head on back to Victor and make sure he gets that cure ready once your father returns," said Oracle who sighed in relief that this worked and the Batbot was a success.
"Understood," said Batgirl before she begins activating the suit's rocket boots and flies off back towards Victor Fries.
To keep her promise and bring him his wife back to him. Safe from the Joker and can now make the cure to help save all those infected by the clown's poison blood.
As she flies back, she is unaware she was being watched by someone. A figure wearing red armor and wearing a cloth on their chest. The cloth has a red cross symbol on it. With a red hood covering their head and a red mask covering their mouth. The figure appeared to be holding a sword in hand.
An old looking one that has a long silver blade and writings on it. The figure begins to speak, but the mask appears to be hiding their voice to keep themselves from being identified. "We have been watching you and your wards for some time, Batman. To see if you are ready. To see if you are the one the prophecy foretold. And the truth will soon be shown."
The figure soon moves their left hand up, it begins to glow, before they slammed their hand down on the ground. Before they disappeared in a puff of smoke and left no trace behind.
Hmm it seems the Bat team has a stalker watching them. Who could it be? Is it someone from the game? Is it someone from the series?
Also, yep, the Batbot is here. For those who don't know, it's a mech-suit Batman used during his fight with Bane from the Batman series in 2004. So, its appearance is a lot like from the show.
Still, will it come in handy later for our heroes? Will Batman be able to overcome the Demon Trials? Will he come out of it alive? Or will it end badly for our heroes?
Tune in next time to find out and you do please leave some reviews. If you didn't like this, then don't leave a flame review. Also tune in next time to see how things will go for our heroes. Also, sorry guys for taking so long to come back to this story.
I will finish this and when I do, I will get back to work on my other stories too. I will complete them and get them all done. Take care everyone and see you all next time.
