Chapter 7: Defeated for the first time
Before it was time for Pinocchio to come on he turned to his minions and Robin." Bring our new friend with us it's time for his big finale." The two minions opened up the cage and grabbed Robin taking him along with the captive kids."Hiditaly dee an actors life for me." He sang," make your good buddy proud, sing as if your lives depended on it." He added cheerfulness,"because it does."
They made their way to the stage while, the henchman had Robin tied up to a chair and gagged him backstage.
Batman watched as Pinocchio entered center stage and led the song by starting it up then, the kids joined in with forced smiles.
Batman made his way to the sound booth where he saw Mister Mind."your too late Batman, Gotham is now eating out of the palm of our hands." The bug alien said,"soon the streets will be filled with madness."
Batman grabbed a baterang from his utility belt and threw it but, Mister Mind dodged then dodged another.
Meanwhile, the fighting made all the mics on stage go out of whack. The impatient Pinocchio stormed off to the sound booth with a rock in hand.
He bust in the door with a sadistic looking smile on his face as he threw the rock at Mister Mind out of anger. The rock struck Mind presumably killing him."stupid Jimany ruining everything." He said in a whiny child like tone. Batman got ready to throw a baterang but, Pinocchio escaped before he could do so.
robin managed to get free as some of Pinocchio's goons tried to attack him but, were taken down instantly.
Batman was close to closing in on Pinocchio but he grabbed Robin and wrapped a "string" around the boy wonder's neck."ah,ah,ah you forgot to say please." He taunted as he took Robin hostage once again."fallow us and he dies." He said as he dragged Robin away.
Batman looked down at center stage and found the trap door the villain had used earlier to capture Robin.
Taking the short cut to the eight ball where Pinocchio was taking Robin.
Batman finally caught up with Pinocchio and Robin." Well, I don't have strings on me..."Pinocchio said,"but he does." As he said this Robin was lowered down as his arms and legs were tied up like a marionette and had duck tape over his mouth. The boy wonder squirmed to try and get out of it but the ropes were too tight.
But, there was no sign of Pinocchio only his voice was heard."show yourself!" Batman demanded.
"Okie dokie!" He heard as a Giant mechanical flying Whale came in with Pinocchio inside controlling it."say hello to Monstro The Killer Whale!" Pinocchio steered Monstro towards Batman who jumped and landed on Monstro's back and was then knocked off by the mechanical creatures tail sending him flying into a wall."Ouch! That had to hurt." Pinocchio said, with a laugh.
Then went for Robin with Monstro's mouth open wide, Batman jumped and tackled the whale on it's back again. Making Pinocchio lose control and miss Robin.
A big river of water opened up to resemble the climax of the Pinocchio story.
Monstro threw him off again and Batman landed flat on his back on a wooden crate that was floating in the water. Batman held on as the current got stronger, then Monstro shot out of the water kind of like in the film.
Batman dodged out of the way and Monstro and Pinocchio hit a huge rock. Pinocchio came spilling out as the current pulled him down the stream but, Batman grabbed him before he drowned knowing he can't let even villains die.
Batman swam the unconscious Pinocchio out to a dry spot then, went to retrieve Robin.
Batman used his bat wing to fly up to get Robin and free him.
Soon, all the water cleared up.
Batman and Robin freed the kids who were happy to go home as well as meet Batman and Robin who saved them.
Batman walked up and picked Pinocchio up over his shoulder and marched him out.
Pinocchio woke up in Arkham Asylum but instead of being scared he still retained his cheerful tone. Humming the song "I've Got No Strings." Very creepy like that it gave chills down the guards spines.
(There's Pinocchio's first appearance any ideas for the second one I'm thinking he either teams up with The Joker and Harley Quinn and he could call them Honest John and Gideon because they're tricksters or team up with The Vatrilaquist and he could be Gepetto. Who would you rather him team up with?)
