Carlton then groaned as he woke up and saw Thorne getting up too.
"You're out, Duquesne." Thorne told the man.
"I shouldn't have gotten mixed up with you two." Carlton replied.
"That'll give you and your brat something to talk about in Family Therapy," Penguin replied until he noticed something off in this situation. "Huh? Where's the bomb? Wasn't it here ?"
Bane snarled and looked around before cornering against Carlton with a growl. "It's not over yet, amigo." he smirked darkly toward the shorter man as he tightened his shoulder.
Kathy, Kala, Batman, and Shadow Wolf went inside of the control room.
"Here." Batman said as he took out a key and uncuffed Kathy.
"I could've gotten out of them." Kathy retorted.
"No doubt, since you've gotten yourself into them." Kala retorted.
"Your friends are waiting to rescue you," Shadow Wolf added. "Let's not disappoint them."
Batman took out his grappling book and launched it against a railing.
"No, let's not." Kathy agreed as she then put the device on the wall and pressed some numbers and it was counting down from two minutes.
Batman was trying to stop it only for his arm to be grabbed by Kathy.
"Don't! Break the magnets, and it'll go off," Kathy cautioned. "There's no way to stop it without the code... Which escapes me at the moment."
"Can I kill her?" Shadow Wolf asked Batman as her eyes flashed.
Batman just narrowed his eyes at the young woman and grabbed her arm.
"I'm sorry, but one way or another, it has to end." Kathy told the Dark Knight.
Batman lowly growled, he then put his arm around her and went up with her on the hook. Shadow Wolf carried Kala on her back and then jumped up with her to catch up with them.
"Even if she doesn't have the bomb, I suggest we act like cautious birds and head South." Penguin said to Thorne on the way to his speedboat.
"Well, whatya know?" Rocky greeted. "Our favorite felons."
"Egads!" Penguin gasped. "They're multiplying!"
Rocky tossed a pink Baterang to make Penguin drop his umbrella and Sonia threw another Baterang which slashed against Thorne's hands slightly.
"That felt so good," Sonia said. "Now, where's Kathy Duquense?"
Meanwhile...
Kathy was running with the three heroes before the bomb would go off. They saw Carlton wrapped around the chains. He was all beat up and knocked out while being swung back and forth by Bane.
"Daddy!" Kathy cried out.
Batman held her back as he could tell that this would take some work. Bane soon smirked and dropped Carlton into the pool. Kathy then jumped into the pool after her father to save him. Batman brought out his grappling hook to then go after Bane.
Jo folded her arms as she was now very angry with Kathy because of what she had done.
"Hon, we gotta help Batman against Bane." Kala told her partner.
"Okay, but I'm still mad at that Kathy lady." Shadow Wolf rolled her eyes.
Kala and Shadow Wolf then went up to help Batman fight against Bane.
"I knew sooner or later we would face each other, Batman," Bane mocked. "I prayed for this, along for the senioritas."
"This ship is going down in less than a minute." Kala warned.
"That's all the time I need." Bane replied as he twirled the chain before lashing it out against the three heroes.
The heroes dodged the chain. Kala then jumps up and gives him a roundhouse kick. Batman then wrapped Ban around in his grappling hook's wire. Bane didn't fall at first until Shadow Wolf kicked him right off the platform.
"Should've saved some of those prayers." Batman sneered as Bane fell.
Carlton came up the water with Kathy Bane then broke the chains. Kala and Batman grabbed the chains. Far away from there, Shadow Wolf heard the timer ticking.
"The timer's going down faster, it must be down to seconds!" Shadow Wolf alerted the others.
Kala and Batman, with Kathy's help, went out with Carlton and the then device exploded. Batman and Kala fell until Shadow Wolf conjured up a shadow barrier and caught them before they could fall and get seriously hurt and helped them back to safety.
"Guys, we have to go!" Shadow Wolf told them as it was too dangerous here.
"I can teleport us out of here." Kala suggested.
"Go ahead then." Shadow Wolf nodded to her.
"Lawe iā mākou aku i loko o ka maluhia!" Kala said in Ancient Hawaiian language before teleporting them all off the ship before it would be too late.
"Abandon ship?" One goon asked.
"Ya think?" The other goon deadpanned.
The goons then escaped out with the lifeboat.
"Let's go!"
"Double time it!"
"Would you move it?"
"I wanna get out of here!"
"Let's get going!"
"Get out of here!"
"Come on, lower, lower, lower!"
Rocky flew off on her own glider only to see flames on her outfit and she removed her mask and cape while gliding in the air and saw her partner was stuck, though still floating. "Sonia!" She then jumped down into the water and rescued her partner, taking off her mask. Sonia coughed and Rocky smiled, knowing that she's going to be all right. The blonde woman gasped as she saw Penguin and Thorne in the speedboat, headed towards them.
However, the Batboat zipped toward them and hovered in the air, about to hit them, so they got out of the way. Rocky smiled in gratitude and swam towards the Batboat while handling Sonia and the gliders. Tim helped Rocky with Sonia.
"I got her." Tim told the blonde woman.
"Don't worry about me," Sonia replied. "Just get them."
Rocky nodded and got into her glider and flew off.
Bane pressed a button on his gauntlet and grew bigger muscles.
Drell suddenly appeared and kicked Bane from behind. "HA!" he smirked to himself. "Bull's-Eye."
Bane growled back at the warlock.
"Drell?" Shadow Wolf asked as she flew back toward the cruise ship.
"Oh, hey, J-I mean, Shadow Wolf." Drell replied.
"What're you doing here?" Shadow Wolf asked.
"Hey, I look out for you guys," Drell folded his arms in defense. "Hello, Bane."
Bane snarled and grabbed a hold of him.
"Say, wanna help me get rid of this Zarkos wannabe?" Drell asked as he grabbed Bane and threw him across the wall.
"You got it!" Shadow Wolf nodded and went up to help the warlock.
Bane growled as he then grabbed the boat and threw it at the duo, only for them to dodge the attack.
"You're making me angry, you wouldn't like me when I'm angry." Shadow Wolf told Bane.
"Which is bad news for you." Drell added.
Batman grunted and groaned as he got up from the damages from the ship. He then looked up as he saw Drell and Shadow Wolf up against Bane.
"Batman, are you okay?" Kala asked.
"Yeah, I'm okay." Batman replied.
"Is that Drell?" Kala looked high above.
"Zarkos wannabe." Drell muttered about Bane.
"Zarkos?" Shadow Wolf asked.
"I'll explain later, let's pulverize this sucker." Drell smirked.
"You read my mind." Shadow Wolf snarled as her eyes turned red and her fangs and claws popped out.
Bane snarled and soon grabbed onto both of Shadow Wolf and Drell and was about to throw them. Kala then stepped in and punched Bane in the stomach, making him let go of Shadow Wolf and Drell.
"Nice work," Drell smiled before he then body-slammed against Bane. "Take THIS!"
Bane growled and pushed Drell off of him and grabbed Kala and threw her into the wall. Shadow Wolf ran behind Bane and tackled him down to the ground and pinned him down with her claws in his skin. Bane screamed in pain, trying to get Shadow Wolf off of him, but she wouldn't budge. Drell wiped his mouth as some blood cut from his lip, though he didn't look too hurt.
"You're going to pay for hurting my girlfriend." Shadow Wolf growled.
"I told ya you shouldn't have made her mad." Drell replied.
Bane tried to get Shadow Wolf off, but it was no use. Shadow Wolf then got off eventually, only to wrestle him. She soon roared and growled like a wolf.
"Luckily Jo is angry enough to turn into a wolf demon, even without a full moon by now," Drell replied. "She is growing up, though she needs to learn control. That's why I'm having Professor Xavier take a look at her."
Shadow Wolf roared so loud that it nearly shook the earth as she then wrestled and attacked Bane with her werewolf demon abilities brought on by rage and anger.
"Drell, what's going on?" Kala rubbed her head as she watched the scene.
"Jo is in her demon form due to her rage and anger." Drell explained.
"I'm worried." Kala said.
"Don't worry, once you guys get to the X-Mansion, she'll be a bit toned down, but I know she would never attack you on purpose." Drell comforted.
Bane was thrown so many times. He then groaned as he got up slowly.
Drell soon came toward Bane and sat on his stomach with a satisfied smirk. "Victory is ours!" he laughed.
"Come on, Drell, you can escape with us." Kala said.
"Thanks, Kala," Drell winked when he said her alias name. "Now, we need to get Shadow Wolf too, hey, Shadow Wolf, get over here!"
Shadow Wolf looked over and soon went to join them. Drell magicked up his own lifeboat to get away with Shadow Wolf, Kala, and Batman since the other lifeboat had been taken by Penguin's goons as the ship was sinking like the ancient Titanic.
"The ship's going down, Penguin!" Thorne told the driver of the speedboat.
"Our only consolation is that it will take a few bats with it." Penguin replied.
Rocky fired a hook to behind the boat as she glided overhead of the two men.
"What?" Penguin asked.
"Huh?" Thorne added.
Rocky smirked to them and then zoomed in to attack them so they could go to jail. She then used a grabbling hook and hook it into the boat and hooked it onto those buoys that were in the water. The two bad guys then crashed their speedboat and fell into the water. The boat was still going, though it was in flames and smoke and there were still explosions.
Drell paddled the boat for the girls as they stared at the sinking cruise ship.
"Wait a minute, where's Kathy?!" Kala asked.
"She's still on the cruise ship, I have to save her!" Batman replied.
"Oh, Batman, wait!" Drell yelped.'
Batman jumped into the water and swam after the boat to save Kathy even though she tricked them.
"I forgot to tell him that Bane is still on the ship." Drell winced.
"I kicked his ass, he wouldn't dare try to hit him again." Shadow Wolf replied.
"Uh, yeah, about that..." Drell said anxiously as he pointed to where Bane and Batman were fighting as the masked man grabbed the Dark Knight's head tight.
"Can you teleport me back there?" Shadow Wolf asked.
"I dunno," Drell said before crossing his arms with a smirk. "Are you worthy enough to take on Bane again in order to save your precious Dark Knight?"
Shadow Wolf just roared as she was growling and snarling.
"Okay, begone." Drell snapped his fingers to teleport her back onto the boat.
"Oh, Drell, I'm worried..." Kala's eyes welled into tears.
"Look on the bright side, at least she won't break your heart on Valentine's Day which is the anniversary of your 32nd break-up with her, then she has the audacity to blow out your old flame burning for her, and then she messes up and blames you for it and she walks off with her sister and niece who found her true love while you're sitting there alone with a tub of ice cream!" Drell replied, getting angrier with each sentence.
"There, there, it's okay." Kala comforted and rubbed his back as he was upset.
"It's nothing..." Drell sighed. "Sorry for that, I'm just still sore about a certain Valentine's Day. It's just... It's just..." he then started to cry while hugging Kala.
Shadow Wolf soon appeared on top of Bane again and stopped him from hurting Batman as he went to save Kathy.
"So, we meet again, senorita." Bane greeted as he looked up to see Shadow Wolf as she growled and her eyes turned red.
Shadow Wolf growled and jump kicked him.
"You're tough, I'll give you that." Bane replid.
"Say your prayers and last words, you won't be here much longer." Shadow Wolf crossed her arms.
"Stubborn, eh?" Bane huffed. "I should teach you some manners, Wolfie. Remember that I still can crush you."
"Yeah, I don't think so." Shadow Wolf dashed away and came behind him and tackled him down. She soon manipulated his shadow and began to make him beat himself up.
Bane growled as Shadow Wolf was still continuing to do it.
"I heard you're not afraid of anything." Shadow Wolf taunted.
Bane only responded with struggling to get loose from his possessed shadow.
"Should I test that?" Shadow Wolf smirked.
"Get off of me, you mutante chucho!" Bane growled.
"Is that a yes? I guess that's a yes." Shadow Wolf replied as tendrils were slowly coming out from her cloak.
Bane still growled.
Shadow Wolf narrowed her eyes as she latched onto him, using her tendrils. "This is for anything you've done to hurt the Dark Knight!"
Bane was trying to pull the tendrils off of him, but more were coming out. Shadow Wolf glared and then looked to Batman with a nod, giving him the okay that he could go get Kathy now without having to worry about her being alone with Bane. Batman came to save Kathy just as her father was pulling her up to safety with a lifesaver while he still had a few chains around him. Kathy's cape was torn, due to being caught on the pole. Sonia glided overhead and held out her hand to help if it was needed. Batman flew the glider with Sonia as Carlton and Kathy were in the boat with Drell and Kala.
