Broken mask.
Jessica jumped and flipped over the man and smacked him in the back of the head.
"This is over!" she screamed getting ready to hit again, but Jessica dodged again, "You're not trained, you're useless! Give up!"
"You will pay!" Vendetta screamed grabbing hold of Jessica's hair and slammed her head against the nearby wall.
"No!" Jessica snapped grabbing the mask, pulling it before letting it go. It smacked into his head, then she kicked him off her.
"Gecko check!" she screamed.
"Check? Check what?!"
"Enigma!" yelled Jessica as she slipped under a flying foot to the face.
Gecko nodded and ran over the endue and then he saw her, clinging onto a gargoyle with all the strength she had.
Gecko slowly climbed down the wall to her and frowned. "Why the hell are you laughing?"
Indeed, Enigma was laughing, laughing like she'd heard of the funniest thing in the world.
"B- because, I used to hate the Pinkney buildings, because of all the gargoyles, I've changed my mind," she laughed.
Gecko rolled his eyes. "Babe, I'm stuck to you," he chuckled, pulling her off the gargoyle.
"That was terrible," Enigma muttered, as she clung on to Gecko, wrapping her arms around his thick, broad neck.
Once they reached the top, they saw Vendetta had grabbed his guns again.
"Say, Jester! I got her!" shouted Gecko.
Jessica looked over at them and smiled when she saw Enigma. "Oh yes! At least ya' alive, means I can get back to my old self!" she chucked a razor card at his face. "Did anyone ever tell ya' that mask makes you look so grumpy alla' the time!"
Vendetta growled. "I may of failed in killing the Riddler's brat! But I will not fail in killing you!"
He leaped at her and Jessica did the splits.
"Ah! Oh god, that's so much harder then it looks!" she giggled.
"I didn't know you could do the splits!" Enigma screamed.
Jessica turned back and shrugged before giggling. "That's the funny thing, neither did I!"
"I'm not finished with you!" screamed Vendetta.
"Oh, that's a shame, because I'm finished with you!" she spin kicked them in the jaw. "Look kid, because I feel sorry for ya' I'm only going to partially un-alive you!"
"Un-alive him?" Gecko muttered.
"I think she means killing him," Enigma muttered back.
"Then why the hell didn't she say it?"
"I get this weird little mind tick in the back of my brain," Jessica said giggling. "It's a slight problem, that's why I can't exactly say it! It sends me a little nutty!" she went into a fit of giggling.
"No offence, but you're already nutty."
"I know! Ain't it crazy!" she cried making jazz hands at them, before getting a full punch to the face.
She fell to the floor and groaned.
"I'm going to finish you!" Vendetta growled.
Gecko put Enigma down and roared, running at Vendetta and attacking him.
Vendetta dodged each of the blows, flipping and sliding, pulling his guns out he began to shoot Gecko, then he flipped and landed right next to the edge.
Enigma took her chance, grabbing a plank of wood, she ran towards Vendetta, smacking him round the head, causing him to fall off the edge.
Jessica went wide eyed and her mouth fell agape.
They watched as Vendetta went pummelling towards the floor.
Jessica looked over the edge and she felt her eyes widen even further. "Wowza! That's a splat."
Gecko frowned. "You sure know how to smack someone round the head. I ain't ever ticking you off."
Enigma smirked. "It's all the wrist."
"More like it runs in the family," muttered Jessica.
"You sure you're sane?"
Jessica bit her lip and scratched her head. "Ya' know, I'm not sure. Might need to check. Anyhow… we need to ya' know, burry Vendetta six feet under."
They all looked at each other and grimaced.
"Any of you guys got a mop?"
"You're whipping it up!"
"I ain't the one who chucked him off the roof."
Enigma folded her arms. "I am not a criminal!"
"Nor am I!"
The two girls blinked before turning towards Gecko and raising their eyebrows.
He looked at the both of them before frowning. "Oh come on!"
"Come on scaly. You're the rogue here the bad guy, ya gotta get rid of the body."
"There's only one way me and Croc get rid of bodies," Gecko growled.
Jessica frowned, before going wide eyed. "What? Oh eww! Seriously, that's gross!"
"What is?" asked Enigma frowning.
Jessica shook her head while waving her hands in front of her. "You really don't wanna know, it's not nice at all!"
"Well, we better start heading down stairs."
"Sure thing! Forward march gang!"
They ran down the stairs, ran out the door and headed towards the part were Vendetta was meant to be.
Meant to be, any way.
"What the?! Please tell me I'm hallucinating his body not being there!" Jessica shouted.
"Hate to brake it to you but you're not."
"Aww man!"
Gecko frowned and scratched his head. "So what was he? A real boggy men or something?"
Enigma bent down and frowned. "As fas as I'm aware, boggy men don't bleed."
Jessica and Gecko looked down at the blood droplets, frowning slightly.
"He headed towards the gate," muttered Jessica as she went off, walking towards it.
When they got there, Vendetta was no where in to be found, all that was left was a mask, hanging from the gate.
"Do you think this means it's over?" questioned Enigma.
"No, I think this is only the beginning. But when he tries again, we'll be ready and next time he won't be walking out of here, I can guaranty that."
Gecko yawned. "Well, all this has been fun and all but, I really got to get going."
"Alright scales, you take care of yourself okay?"
"Yeah, yeah save it," he grumbled as he slinked back into the shadows.
"Umm Jessica? There is something I've been meaning to ask you," Enigma muttered walking over to Jessica.
"Yeah E'? What's that?"
"Vendetta called me the 'Riddler's brat', what does he mean?"
Jessica looked over at Enigma and frowned slightly. The girl's pony tail was mangled and her glasses were dirty, just like her clothes.
Jessica gave a small smile and put her arm over Enigma's shoulders. "Don't sweat it E', the guy was a nut case, probably talking out of a whole in his head. Ignore him. Besides, you did good for your first time as a rogue."
"First and last time," Enigma concluded as they worked out of the gates.
"Yeah, we'll see about that."
