Krypto flew into the hatch that led to the Joker's lair, Ace followed. The two dogs began to sniff out everything, and Ace had come to the exact conclusion that not only was the Joker gonna clay the whole carnival in cotton candy, said cotton candy would be laced with fear toxin and joker venom.
"HELLO?!" Krypto called. "BUD, LOU? ANYONE?!"
"Sssh..." Ace said. "Do you want to give our position away?!"
"No..." Krypto replied. "But I can smell something fishy..."
"YOU COULD SAY THAT AGAIN, STUPIDDOG!" A voice hollered.
Ace made a gesture for Krypto not to say anything. The two dogs looked around once more, until they saw where the voice was coming from. Krypto and Ace looked down to see something on the armoire...it was a small little goldfish seated in a sensual pose. But this goldfish was like the one that they had previously encountered, with a white body and green fins, not to mention huge, red lips and sharp teeth.
"...sup'?" Jackie said in the most casual tone ever, despite being in the presence of superheroes.
"Who are you?!" Krypto asked, growling and getting close to Jackie's face.
"Easy on them fangs, Lassie!" Jackie said. "The name is Jackie. I'm a Joker fish."
"Where are the hyenas?" Ace asked.
"Them stupid giggle hounds are gone for the day," Jackie stood up. "So I'm takin' over for em'!"
"We would much rather fight them than a little land fish like you.." Krypto said.
"Oh, I think you'll find even though I'm just startin' out as a villain, I make a TOTALLY better adversary than they do..." Jackie grinned, showing her sharp, pointed teeth.
The little fish pulled out a remote and pressed a button, which made a robotic arm extend from the ground with shock collars, placing them on Krypto and Ace, as well as tying them up.
"YES! TAKE ONE MOVEMENT AND YOU'LL BE STUNNED FOR GOOD!" Jackie laughed like the fish she was, large bubbles of Joker venom coming from her mouth. "BAAAAAHAHAHAHABLBLBLUBLUBLUBLBLBLBLH!!"
"I don't even wanna know what sort of diabolical plot you've got for us.." Ace said, trying to free himself.
"It's simple, really." Jackie smiled. "You see those cans of fear toxin and joker venom? Well they're gonna join forces at tonight's carnival with this cotton candy, makin' it a real night to remember..."
"Nuh-uh!" Krypto exclaimed.
"Yeah-huh." Jackie replied.
"Nuh-uh!"
"Yeah-huh!"
"Nuh-uh!"
"Yeah-huh!"
"Nuh-uh!"
"Yeah-huh! I could do this all day." Jackie replied.
"Nuh—" Krypto started.
"Give it a rest, will ya?!" Ace said.
"Say, I got an idea..." Krypto said.
The Dog of Steel stared directly at the collar, and, using his laser vision, was able to escape along with the Dog Knight.
"Ah, crap." Jackie said. "You're out...you wanna smell my flower?" She held out a bright daisy.
"Sure!" Krypto smiled.
"KRYPTO, NO!" Ace called.
"What?" Krypto turned around, not noticing the acid squirt out from the flower and almost hit him. Then, he looked. "Ohhhh..."
"Dang it!" Jackie exclaimed. "That was like, my only trap!"
"And now you fish," Ace said. "PREPARE TO GET FRIED BY JUSTICE."
"I don't think so, fat-hound!" Jackie leapt into the air and started repeatedly slapping Ace with her green fish tail. "Yeah! How you like me NOW?! HOW YOU LIKE ME NOW?!"
"Come ere', fishy!" Krypto exclaimed, flying and grabbing her with his paws.
Jackie bit down hard on Krypto, but he did not show any signs of pain.
"Huh.." Jackie said, mouth still on his fur. "Normawy there'd be a "ow" rih' now..."
Krypto bit down on her now, but being since he was an all-powerful Kryptonian dog, it hurt way more.
"OWWWWW!!" Jackie exclaimed.
The little fish then fell from Krypto's grasp. Ace quickly activated his net and ensnared the walking fish.
"Bleh..." Krypto groaned. "She tastes like BOOGERS!!"
"...oh, now that's hurtful." Jackie said.
"—SLEEP PINCH." Ace said, pinching the little fish's side.
"Ha!" Jackie smiled. "You couldn't eve—" she instantly fell asleep.
"What do we do now?" Krypto asked.
"I know a special place for her..." Ace thought.
