"Gentlemen, welcome to the banquet I graciously put on for you, tonight we have something special for you, But first a quick question: Do you know what you are here for?" Joker asked looking around as he heard nothing but muffled responses. "None, well I'll gladly tell you. You see this world is so serious what with its semantic scans and its psycho passes. Well I'm here to introduce an old concept: Anarchy and chaos. To bring this world back to a natural order of disorder and fear" Joker explained "And to do that I need the world is

"FREEZE" Akane said as she aimed her dominator at the Joker

"Crime Coefficient: Error! None found" the dominator said

"This old song and dance again?" Joker asked

"What did you do?" Akane asked as the rest of her team showed up

"Oh simple, I dressed them for the party. However there is something, so ENJOY!" Joker cried as his men lifted the lids on the silver trays revealing the faces of the governors on piles of bloodied ice. "Bon apetit" he said making everyone's stress level elevate immensely. Even Akane's rose higher than normal. "Now then; time to lighten up" he laughed as he pressed a button making small lights underneath the chair

"NO!" Akane said as those lights became eruption of flames incinerating the governors

"Son of a bitch" Deathstroke said as he took a rifle and aimed at The Joker

"Ah, ah, ah" Joker said waggling his finger "Its bedtime" Joker said as everyone in front of him began to fall asleep. Once he was sure everyone was asleep he picked up Akane and left the room.


"Where, oh where am I?" Akane asked as she woke up and looked around, she was in a room with a square hole in the roof. She knew it was too high to get out. She then realised she was in a shipping container. Once she was under the hole something was being poured over her and the floor of the container

"I'm a little teapot, short and stout. Here is my handle, here is my spout!" Joker sang before dropping a jerry can down the hole making its contents spread out over the floor. Akane took a sniff and recoiled, the Joker had covered her in fuel, Akane suddenly became scared when she heard clicking.

"What's that?" Akane shouted up

"Something to help you" Joker started "Lighten up" he said dropping a lighter into the hole right above the fuel. Thinking quickly Akane started to strip her clothing off in a hurry until she was in her underwear and got away as far away from the fuel as possible when it was ignited. Looking up she saw the Joker had closed the hole up mostly to make sure the smoke didn't get out. Soon the room was filled up with smoke; she to cough and hack when the wall behind her was pulled away and a mask was placed on her face and something covered her as the fuel exploded. Looking up she saw Batman shield her from the blast

"YOU ACCURSED BAT! I HOPE YOUR POINTY EARS REVERSE INTO YOUR SKULL!" Joker shouted

"Get to safety" Batman said as he leapt up onto the same container as Joker


"Karanomori" the lab tech said

"Karanomori" Akane said

"Akane, thank goodness where are you?" Karanomori asked

"I'm down at the docks...half naked"

"I'm going to ask you to repeat that last part

"I was doused in fuel so I had to strip down to my underwear to avoid being lit on fire" Akane said

"Okay, I'll send out some drones with a change of clothes" Karanomori said "Anything in particular?"

"My workout clothes will be just fine" Akane said

"Okay. They'll be there shortly" Karanomori said as she hung up before sending some drones out.


Batman had lost his prey so he went back and checked on Akane

"Are you okay?" he asked landing next to her

"Yeah" Akane said accepting the cape being handed to her as Batman looked away "Thanks" she said

"No worries" Batman said as he scanned the area, namely where the Joker brunt it. "Petroleum, methanol, nitrous oxide"

"What's that?" Akane asked

"The mixture of the fuel the Joker used" Batman said

"That's usual right, wait did you say Petroleum?" Akane asked

"I did, why?" Batman asked

"We stopped using fossil fuels in 2069" Akane said

"So what do you use?"

"Energy, we use specialised energy cells made from hydrogen or plasma" Akane said

"Interesting, Wayne Enterprises was working the same thing when its CEO Bruce Wayne died" Batman said

"What?" Akane asked

"Yeah, He died peacefully, then the original Batman died of a heart attack in the middle ot stopping a bank robbery by the villain Two-Face" Batman said "After that Gotham City went to the damn dogs" Batman said as the drones appeared, Akane handed Batman back his cape before stepping behind a holographic changing screen untyil she came out in her pink and white workout clothes to see the Batman had gone

"Akane" Arkham Knight said leaping down

"You got here fast" Akane said

"I have a filtration system in my helmet" Arkham said

"I see, well then do you have a vehicle to get back to HQ?" Akane asked

"I thought the drones would bring one" Arkham said as a car showed up "See" he said before getting in


Once they were back at base The Suicide Squad and Division 1 were looking for the Joker when Akane and Arkham Knight showed up

So you disappeared once again and you show up where Akane is in danger. This is starting to become a commonplace" Deadshot said

"I agree" El Diablo said

"You weren't there when we woke up" Harley said "Jones"

"You got it" Killer Croc picked him up and growled

"Back up, you think I'm the bat? The one guy who I want dead, the only person I want dead more is the man who we are now hunting" Arkham said as he walked off

"Why don't I believe you?" Deathstroke asked


"That damn Bat!" Joker shouted "He's screwing up all my plans. At least I had a good cookout" he muttered "But I need Harley at my side"

"Sir, all for phase 4 has been placed in position" a gang leader said

"Good, soon this world will be seeing the funny side" Joker said "But first" he said as he looked over to something "we need to go to here" he said pointing to a spot on the map

"Why there?" the gang leader said

"I've got a Joke to tell" Joker said as he got into a truck and drove off.

"He does love his jokes" a clown said

"Just shut and mask up" the leader said

"Yes sir"


"Have you located him?" Deadshot asked

"Nearly, thanks to you and that secret tracer you shot at them" Karanomori said as she lit a cigarette and exhaled

"So who is this guy?" Kogami said

"He work the book of psychopathic tendencies and then burnt the book before dancing on them. People didn't knwo if he was sane, insane of super sane" Deadshot said

"Super sane?" Karanomori said

"Not sure" Deadshot said as he read the data "Oh shit

"What is it?" Kogami asked

"Just have a look" Deadshot said

"What!" Kogami said shocked at what he was seeing

"NO way, how could he do this?" Karanomori asked

"A deadly mix of Nitrogen Oxide, Hydrogen Cyanide, Strychnine, Methamphetamine, MDMA" Deadshot said "Commonly called Joker Gas"

"How, how could he make something like this?" Kogami asked

"Not only he is a psychopath, he's also a master chemist meaning he could easily make or synthesize them"

"He just went up on our danger level" Karanomori

"So what are we going to do?" Kogami asked

"We track teeh sick son of a bitch!" Deadshot said as he left the lab.
