Time for an adventure to Metropolis... without Superman.
If you're not gonna leave a review, at least let me know you're following the story.
In the city of Metropolis, a lot of citizens are gathering around a mysterious object that fell from the sky. Policemen arrived and tried to keep the crowd under control. Among the crowd is Jimmy Olsen, a photographer from the Daily Planet. He was constantly taking pictures. One cop tried to stop him, only to stumble and fall, leaving Jimmy free to take more pictures.
Unbeknownst to the crowd, the mysterious object is a Keystone. The symbol on the Keystone is a compass. Its needle is pointing northwest. Above the compass is a crescent shape with a small blue circle between.
A rift opens and drops off a mysterious entity. He wears armor colored dark silver, along with a spiked helmet. He was equipped with a dark silver staff. To the people of Middle-Earth, he is Sauron, the Dark Lord.
Everyone turns around and saw him. Sauron walks towards the Keystone.
"It's not Halloween yet, is it?" said one officer.
"You'll have to stay back, sir. It isn't safe," said Detective Maggie Sawyer.
Sauron refuses to listen and walks closer.
"You are right," said Sauron in his haunting deep voice.
Jimmy started enthusiastically taking pictures of Sauron, impressed by his "outfit".
"Wow. 'A' for effort," said Maggie, complimenting Sauron's "costume".
Sauron raises his staff and whacks Jimmy Olsen away from his path. Maggie rushes forward, only to get whacked away as well. All the citizens stepped back in fear and run away as Sauron grabs hold of the Keystone. He whacks another officer out of his way and uses the power of Keystone, directing its power towards the sky above LexCorp. A rift opens in the sky. A tower descends from the dimensional vortex. It destroys LexCorp and plants itself on the ground.
Jimmy, on the ground, was still taking pictures, wowed by what's happening.
All the citizens run in fright, trying to get as far away as they can from Sauron's tower.
Another rift opens at the streets. It drops off Batman, Wyldstyle, and Gandalf. A guy carrying a big stack of newspapers accidentally runs into Batman, falling down and dropping the papers. He screams at the sight of the Dark Knight and continues running.
Batman picks up the newspaper and reads it. The masterhead says "Daily Planet"
"This is Metropolis," concluded Batman.
The trio look up into the sky and saw someone in red and blue tights flying.
"It's Superman!" cheered Wyldstyle. "He'll help us."
Hearing the young lady, Superman waves at the trio and salutes them as he continued heading for the tower. However, a rift opens and sucks him in.
"Ohhhhh..." Wyldstyle felt embarrassed for prematurely celebrating. "I guess it's all up to Batman. Again."
Wyldstyle looks at Gandalf, who was looking at the tower.
"Barad-dur," said Gandalf.
"What is that thing, Gandalf?" asked Wyldstyle.
"The Dark Tower, where Sauron dwells," answered Gandalf. "If he is here, all is lost. We cannot hope to defeat him with Frodo, without the One Ring."
Batman uses his Grapple Gun and launches himself to the top of a platform on the side of the nearest building to get a higher view on everything. He takes out his binoculars and looks into it. The electric field at the gate of LexCorp has been activated, keeping anyone from getting in or out. He saw Sauron and his minions holding hostages. Jimmy Olsen, on the other hand, continues taking pictures. Batman looks closer and saw that Sauron had his hand on something valuable.
"I see him, and the Keystone," said Batman.
Batman jumps down from the platform and lands on the ground.
"Let's go, said Batman.
The streets are a mess, thanks to the panicking citizens and Sauron's minions.
"I may not know who Sauron is, but he sounds like bad news," said Wyldstyle.
"He is the most powerful evil that has ever existed on Middle-Earth," said Gandalf.
"Worse than that Saruman guy?" asked Wyldstyle.
"Saruman is the lackey. Sauron is the master," said Gandalf.
There were roadblocks up ahead, so the trio take a right turn. Wyldstyle's Relic Scanner started beeping. She checks it.
"There's something inside the garage door," said Wyldstyle, pointing at said door.
Batman saw a yellow construction vehicle nearby. He destroys it and uses the pieces to build a car treadmill. He summons the Batmobile with his wrist device and started running the vehicle on the treadmill, opening the garage door. It was dark inside
"This is wizard's work," said Gandalf.
The elderly wizard lights up his staff in order to show what's inside. There was a car. Inside it was a Keystone selector. Batman uses his Grapple Gun to pull the car and breaks it into pieces, freeing the Keystone selector.
"Ah, yes. This could just be the very thing we need," said Gandalf.
Rifts started opening up on the road nearby. Lex Luthor's robots popped up. One of them headed straight for the electric field, but only succeeded in breaking itself. Sauron's minions have found the trio.
"Great," muttered Batman. "Take them down. We can't let anyone get in our way."
"These are Sauron's forces. Do not underestimate them," said Gandalf.
The trio started fighting Sauron's warriors and the robots.
Batman was handling the warriors and the robots better than the rest. He punches and kicks as hard and as fast as he can, taking down Sauron's minions and the robots with ease. One tried to slash his with his sword. Batman dodges every swing before clocking the minion in the helmet. He grabs him by the arm and tosses him towards three other warriors, taking them all out.
Wyldstyle tosses one robot in the air and kicks it while it was falling down. She kicks one robot towards one of Sauron's minions, taking them both out. Three warriors surround her, but she manages to jump over them and fought them up-close. She kicks one in the chest, punches one in the gut, and double-kicks one in the face.
Gandalf fought one warrior in a sword fight, using his staff as a sword. The sword fight was evenly matched, until Gandalf fired a magic blast, taking down the warrior.
"I don't know. Sauron's warriors seem just as easy to take down as every underling we've encountered," said Wyldstyle.
"Well, I suppose they're easy for the young ones," said Gandalf, correcting himself.
After all the warriors and robots are taken care of, the trio proceed to trying to take down the electric field. The Scale Keystone pops up from the selector. The trio see a button inside a glass case that can only be accessed by a ladder in a glass chamber, which can only be used by LexCorp robots, which are bit smaller than humans. Batman uses the Keystone to shrink in size. He enters the chamber and climbs the ladder. He runs towards the button and pushes it, deactivating the electric field.
Batman grows back to normal size and kicks the glass case open, freeing himself.
The trio head to the next block. There was a guard station, where an archer was trying to hit them with arrows. Batman sees a ramp covered by a crashed vehicle. He destroys the vehicle, freeing the ramp. He remote-controls the Batmobile back to himself and hops in it. He drives car towards the ramp, jumps off it, and destroys the station. The archer, however, jumped off before the car made impact.
The archer shoots an arrow at Batman, but he catches it before it hits his face.
"Wow," reacted Wyldstyle.
Batman throws the arrow at the archer, hurting it. He finishes it off with a punch to the face and kick to the stomach.
"That was cool," said Wyldstyle. She takes out her scanner and looks into it, "The Keystone should be in this area..."
There was a crashed mobile police unit to the left, as well as an electric field blocking the next block. The only way to deactivate it is a switch inside another glass chamber for LexCorp robots.
The mobile unit's security cameras were still active. The unit was carrying a Keystone selector, but it was in a case protected by an electric field. The only way to get rid of the field is to get inside the unit and deactivate it manually.
Batman goes into Stealth Mode and gets inside the mobile unit undetected. He deactivates the cameras and the electric field, releasing the selector. The Scale Keystone pops up.
The glass chamber had a gap. The block that needs to be connected to the gap needs to be pushed up.
Wyldstyle shrinks in size and gets under the block. She increases her size, lifting the block, until she connected it to the chamber's pathway. She was now standing at 15 feet tall.
"Okay, Batman. Go," said Wyldstyle. "I'll hold it up."
Batman shrinks in size and enters the chamber. He climbs up the ladder, walks along the corridor, climbs up another ladder, and reaches the glass case, where the switch is. He was too short to reach the switch, so he returns himself back to normal. He pulls the switch and deactivates the electric field, allowing access to the next block.
Batman kicks his way out of the glass case and Wyldstyle shrinks herself back to normal size.
When they turned the corner, they saw another roadblock, in the form of medieval-style gates with guard stations. Sauron's archer were on the stations, shooting at anyone getting close to the gate.
"How are we gonna get through?" asked Wyldstyle.
Batman saw a red truck. He throws an explosive Batarang at it, destroy it into pieces.
"A ramp," guessed Wyldstyle. "Good thinking."
Batman builds the ramp, pointing towards the gate, and remote-controls the car to his street. He hops onto the car and jumps off the ramp at high speed, destroying the gate, advancing to the next city block.
"Awesome!" exclaimed Wyldstyle.
"He never ceases to amaze," said Gandalf.
Wyldstyle and Gandalf run towards him, but the archers were still standing. Gandalf shields himself and Wyldstyle with a magical shield as he fired magic blasts at each other archers. When one was left standing, Wyldstyle insisted she takes care of him personally. Wyldstyle dodges all incoming arrows and finishes the archer with a flying kick to the helmet.
At the next block, two of Sauron's warriors was chasing a woman. Batman takes down both warriors with a single Batarang.
"Thank you, uh, Batman," said the woman. "Strange seeing you in the daylight."
"Stay here until the police arrive," said Batman.
"Sure," said the woman. "Oh, wait. Lois Lane is in trouble. She's in that burning building over there. You have to get her out."
"I'm on it," said Batman.
Wyldstyle and Gandalf reunited with Batman. The trio head to the burning building. They can see a middle-aged woman in a pink buttoned shirt inside. It was Lois Lane.
"Batman!" she cried with joy. "Where's Superman?"
"Someone took him," said Batman. "Don't worry. I'm gonna get you out."
"But the bars are made of titanium, and the glass blocking the doorway is reinforced glass," said Lois.
"I have just the thing for that," said Batman.
Batman hops into his Batmobile and activates the sonic cannon, aiming it at the glass blocking the doorway.
"I thought the Batmobile would look bigger," said Lois.
"It's a spare," said Batman. "Cover your ears."
Lois covers her ears. Batman fires sonic waves at the glass, shattering it to pieces.
"Thank you," said Lois.
She runs away to look for Jimmy Olsen.
Wyldstyle asks Batman, "You know her?"
"She's close to Superman," replied Batman.
"And...?" Wyldstyle was expecting more.
"One of Bruce Wayne's ex-girlfriends," admitted Batman.
"Well, she is pretty," said Wyldstyle.
"Focus," said Batman. "We have to get to the tower and get the Keystone."
More of LexCorp's robots pop up. The trio fight them until there were none left, at least for that moment. One of Sauron's warriors was climbing down a column. After Batman takes him out with a couple of punches, a haunting deep voice was heard.
"You cannot hide."
"Who was that?" asked Wyldstyle.
"Sauron," said Gandalf. "The Eye of Sauron sees all, which means there's nowhere we can hide."
"Good thing we're not hiding," said Batman.
More of LexCorp's robots show up. Wyldstyle kicks one towards another, taking them both out at the same time. Batman throws his Batarang at one. Gandalf whacks one to the column with his staff.
"Wow. Talk about your deja vu... Wait... Didn't I say that already?" said Wyldstyle.
"There's another electric field on the next block," said Batman. "We deactivate it, we have a clear way towards the tower."
"So... what's the plan?" asked Gandalf.
Batman looks inside a nearby building and saw a security camera guarding a switch. There was a snack machine, which looked like it can be used to build a Keystone selector. He looks up at the platform on top of the building and saw another glass chamber.
Batman sneaks into the building in Stealth Mode and flips the switch, deactivating the security camera and spooking the one employee inside. When he turned off his Stealth Mode, the employee freaks out at the sight of Batman.
Wyldstyle and Gandalf enter the building. Batman points at the snack machine. Gandalf levitates it in the air and breaks it into pieces. He uses the pieces to build a selector. The Scale Keystone pops up. Wyldstyle kicks it. She jumps high towards the top of the platform. She destroys a metal basket and a container, and uses them to build a ladder. Batman climbs up to the platform. The glass chamber was missing a piece. Wyldstyle uses her Relic Scanner and found the missing piece. It too big for her to carry, so she grows twice her size. She picks up the piece and put it where it's supposed to be. She then shrinks down in size to get underneath a glass box. She grows in size to push the box up and connect it to the chamber.
"You're up, Bats," said Wyldstyle.
Batman shrinks in size and enters the chamber. He climbs up a ladder, runs along a corridor, climbs another ladder, and continues running until he found the button. He pushes it, deactivating the electric field.
A couple LexCorp robots were waiting on the ground. Wyldstyle, still big, jumps down and steps on both robots, crushing them. She then returns to her normal size.
"That was satisfying," said Wyldstyle.
Batman returns to his normal size and jumps back on the ground.
"You're having way too much fun with all this," said Batman.
"Yeah, but it's who I am," said Wyldstyle.
Batman actually cracks a smile.
The trio look up and see the Dark Tower straight ahead.
"Why do I get the feeling that the worse is still to come?" said Wyldstyle.
The trio run towards Barad-dur.
The trio arrive at Barad-dur, the Dark Tower. They hid behind a yellow cab and take a peek at the front. Three of Sauron's warriors guard the front gate. There were people trapped in green energy cages, developed by LexCorp.
"Those are Kryptonite-powered cells," said Batman softly.
"Kryptonite? The green rock that can hurt Superman?" asked Wyldstyle.
"Lex Luthor has had a long history with Superman. He keeps a stash of Kryptonite just in case he runs into him," said Batman.
"So, Luthor is Superman's arch-nemesis," said Wyldstyle, shortening Batman's explanation.
"That's one way of summing it up," replied Batman, sounding slightly sarcastic.
"Those poor people," said Gandalf. "They do not deserve."
"No, they don't," growled Batman
Batman throws his Batarang and it hits two guards, knocking them out. The trio run towards gate as Batman hits the last one with his Batarang. The warrior was still conscious despite a hurting head, but Gandalf knocks him out with his staff.
The trio get past the gate and see more of what has become of Metropolis.
The grounds surrounding the Dark Tower are filled with sharp wooden posts and iron cages to hold people prisoner. Two guards were evening poking fun at one prisoner, threatening to drop him from a high place. All the people were miserable and felt hopeless. Without Superman, they have no reason to smile. Batman was disgusted and angered at the sight of all this misery.
"It looks like they've turned this place into a prison," said Wyldstyle.
Gandalf eyes the top of Barad-dur. "Sauron will enslave all of mankind."
"Not on my watch," said Batman.
The Eye of Sauron pops up on top of Barad-dur. "I... See... You!"
Another rift opens. It drops off a war elephant. It was hurt. It was also upgraded. It had weapons, technology, and seats on its back. The rider of the creature reveals himself. Half his face is scarred. He wears a suit and tie that were both half-orange and half-purple. It was Harvey Dent, a.k.a. Two-Face.
"Well, well, if it isn't our old friend, Batman," started Two-Face.
"Two-Face," muttered Batman.
"What have you done to that poor beast?" Gandalf demanded an answer.
"Given it a face lift," answered Two-Face. "Would you be interested in one?"
"I doubt it," replied Gandalf.
Two-Face takes out his coin. "Then let me help you choose. Heads or tails?"
"Harvey, don't do this," growled Batman.
However, Wyldstyle accepted the challenge.
"Ooh! Ooh! Tails," she said.
Two-Face flips the coin in the air and catches it in his hand.
Wyldstyle tells Batman, "It's okay. I get this right almost half the time."
Two-Face looks at the coin. "Sorry, it's heads."
Batman grinds his teeth in anger.
"What does 'heads' mean?" asked Wyldstyle.
Two-Face answers. "That you lose yours."
"I figured he'd say that," said Batman.
"Oh, that poor Oliphaunt," said Gandalf, feeling pity for the creature. "Something needs to be done about this."
Harvey takes out his gun and started firing. Batman, Wyldstyle, and Gandalf take cover behind a pile of vehicles.
"Who is he, Batman?" asked Wyldstyle.
"Harvey Dent," answered Batman. "He used to be Gotham's district attorney. He was a good man who was good at his job. I would've retired from the crime-fighting business because of him, but a tragic accident happened. Harvey lost half his face and half his mind. He became a criminal."
"Okay, I get that looking like that makes you look like a bad guy," said Wyldstyle. "But he was your city's D.A. Why would he just become a criminal."
"He's not your typical bank robber or mugger. His crimes involve attacking the legal system, trying to 'correct' Gotham's ways of delivering justice," said Batman. "Kidnapping. Murder. Extortion. He's almost as dangerous as the Joker."
"Batman, we have to free that poor creature from his control," said Gandalf. "We can't hide here forever."
"I know," said Batman.
Three come out of from behind the pile, only to encounter six of Sauron's warriors and six of Two-Face's goons.
"Twelve divided by three equals four," calculated Wyldstyle. "I think you know what that means."
"We don't need strategy," said Batman.
Batman rushes forward and slide-tackles four of the incoming hostiles. He elbows a warrior in the face, punches a goon in the neck, kicks a warrior in the stomach, and thrusts a Batarang into a goon's shoulder, hurting him, before kicking him across the face.
"Ouch," reacted Wyldstyle.
"Don't just stand there," said Batman.
Wyldstyle and Gandalf get in on the action. To increases the difficulty, Two-Face had the elephant whack cars towards the trio.
Wyldstyle uses a fast attack combo on a warrior and knocks out a goon by simply pounding him in the skull. Gandalf whacks two goons away from him with his staff before firing a magic blast at two of Sauron's warriors. One warrior tried to slash Wyldstyle with his sword, but Wyldstyle's quick reflexes allow her to dodge every swing. The warrior takes another swing, but Wyldstyle catches the incoming sword with both her hands before it hits her face. She kicks the warrior "where it hurts" and then kicks him towards the last goon.
Batman runs towards the elephant, but two fire blasters blast fire at him when he got too close. Luckily, Batman's cape is fireproof.
Two-Face laughs. "Too hot for you, Bats?"
Batman returns to his comrades.
"So much for no strategy. We still took out 4 a piece," said Wyldstyle.
Two-Face activates the gravity cannons, levitating the trio in the air. Batman throws a Batarang and hits both cannons. They weren't destroyed, but the firing stopped.
"Let's not do that again," said Wyldstyle.
"Agreed," said Batman.
Six more warriors and six more of Two-Face's goons show up.
"No strategy?" Wyldstyle asked Batman.
"If you have one in mind, I'm all ears," said Batman.
While Wyldstyle thinks, Batman and Gandalf engage in battle.
Two goons and two warriors simultaneously take a stab at Batman. He manages to deflect all attacks and hit them at the same time. Gandalf, while protecting himself with a magic shield, watched in awe, amazed by Batman's skill. Batman clocks one goon in the face, breaks a warrior's knee with a kick, uses a warrior's own sword to stab him in the leg before head-butting him, and uppercuts a goon to unconsciousness.
Gandalf removes his magic shield and started smacking his incoming enemies. Wyldstyle, meanwhile, was trying to choose between two car doors. Gandalf bonks two of Two-Face's goons in the head and takes out two warriors with magic blasts.
Two goons and two of Sauron's warriors were heading straight for Wyldstyle. She was just finished assembling something. She faces the incoming hostiles with some sort of makeshift gun in her hand, which was connected to a tube that was placed in the nearby water hole.
"Hope you guys brought your swimsuits," joked Wyldstyle.
Wyldstyle fires her water gun. Fortunately for her, the goons and warriors were lined up in a straight line. The water hits the warrior in the front and the pressure of the water pushes one hostile toward another. The water gun slams them towards a rocky wall, knocking them out. One warrior, however, aimlessly wandered into a fire pit.
"Oops," said Wyldstyle.
"Casualties happen in war," said Gandalf. "Just don't let the lives you take haunt you."
"That's not so much as strategy, much less a plan," said Batman.
"Hey, we don't have the Elemental Keystone, so I had to improvise," said Wyldstyle.
Two-Face fires the gravity cannons again, levitating the trio in the air again. This time, Gandalf frees his comrades by slamming his staff onto the ground, unleashing a burst of magic.
"We have to destroy those gravity cannons," said Batman. "To do that, we have to destroy those two generators."
"But if we get too close, those fire blasters will roast us alive," said Wyldstyle.
Two-Face forces the elephant to toss a semi-trailer truck at the trio. It misses and the truck is left stuck above the fire pit. Wyldstyle's scanner picks up something inside the truck. Wyldstyle looks at Batman and points at the orange hook on the front. Batman fires his Grapple Gun at the hook. He pulls off the radiator grille and releases a Keystone selector while the rest of the truck sinks into the fire pit. The Elemental Keystone pops out of the selector.
"The Keystone should help us get closer to that... elephant-looking... thing," said Wyldstyle.
"Oliphaunt," corrected Gandalf.
Batman kicks the selector and harnesses the power of fire. He shields himself with a a fire shield and destroys the two fire cannons with his own fire lasts. He then switches the power of electricity. He shocks the two generators attached to elephant's ankles until they collapse. Not only did he remove the power source of the gravity cannons, but he has also freed the elephant.
"Easy, my friend. No one is going to harm you now," assured Gandalf.
Two-Face was starting to get furious. He started firing his gun again. The trio take cover.
"Wyldstyle, scan for a weak spot," ordered Batman.
Wyldstyle manages to close enough to fire the scanner's color waves at the gear on the side of the elephant, revealing a switch. Batman throws his Batarang at the switch, destroying more of the gear that Two-Face was standing on.
"Gandalf," called Batman.
Gandalf uses his magic to make the gear Two-Face was standing on collapse, sending Two-Face falling down off the creature. A rift opens up below him and sucks him in.
"Much better," said Wyldstyle. "Now, to get through that doorway..."
The Oliphaunt walks through the gateway before it closed again. Wyldstyle found three pieces of gear that were previously attached to the Oliphaunt that she can use. Using her Master Builder skills, she builds an energy cannon.
"A bit over the top, don't you think?" questioned Batman.
"Again, can't help myself," said Wyldstyle.
Wyldstyle hops on the seat and started operating the cannon. She charges it up until it achieves full power. She fires, destroying the doorway, leaving it in pieces.
"Yeah! That takes care of that thing," said Wyldstyle.
"It wasn't really necessary to reduce the doorway to pieces," said Gandalf.
"Hey, you're gonna go on an adventure with me, you're gonna have to get used to my methods," said Wyldstyle.
Wyldstyle runs to the doorway. Batman follows. Gandalf scratches his head for a second before running along with the rest.
The trio enter Barad-dur and gaze their eyes upon Sauron, sitting on his throne. Gandalf was surprised to see that Sauron has taken physical form, which only worries him even more.
Sauron spoke. "He said you would come to save the weak."
"Who are you talking about?" Batman demanded an answer.
Gandalf interrupted. "Silence, fiend!"
"Wow, he's really passionate when it comes to his arch enemies," commented Wyldstyle.
Gandalf speaks to Sauron. "You've fallen far, 'Lord' Sauron. Serving another now, are you?"
"I serve no one, Gandalf Stormcrow. All serve me!" replied Sauron with rage.
Wyldstyle eyes the Keystone on top of Sauron's throne as a thought comes to her mind. "Idea for new name when I get tired of Wyldstyle: Stormcrow."
Suddenly, the ground shakes. A large rift opens beneath their feet and releases a platform that was made of Dalek technology. Sauron covers himself with a tornado as he started raising the platform up the tower. While the platform slowly rises to the top of Barad-dur, Sauron summons his warriors, Lex's robots, and Daleks to keep the heroes occupied.
"Exterminate! Exterminate!" said the Daleks.
"Seriously, if I hear 'exterminate' one more time, I'm gonna scream," said Wyldstyle.
Batman throws a Batarang at the two Daleks, destroying them immediately.
"Better?" asked Batman, catching the returning Batarang.
"Always the gentleman, Bats," replied Wyldstyle with a smile.
Gandalf was on his own against Sauron's forces. He fires magic blasts left and right. Batman and Wyldstyle fought back-to-back as they fend off incoming robots and Daleks.
"You cannot defeat the Daleks!" said one Dalek.
Wyldstyle kicks the aforementioned Dalek off the edge. Batman throws his Batarang at one Red Dalek, damaging it.
"System malfunction!" said the Red Dalek.
"Gandalf!" called Batman.
"What is it, Batman?" asked Gandalf.
Batman points at the yellow and black device. "I assume you know how to build a car treadmill?"
"I can try," said Gandalf.
While Batman and Wyldstyle continue fighting, Gandalf observed the device. He takes a deep breath before waving his staff in the air, levitating the device. He breaks it into pieces and started rearranging it. In the end, he successfully built a car treadmill.
"Way to go, Gandalf," said Wyldstyle, kicking a Red Dalek.
"Explain! Explain!" babbled the Red Dalek, refusing to comprehend failure.
"Bats, can I borrow that Electric Charge thing-y?" asked Wyldstyle.
After destroying a LexCorp bot with an attack combo, Batman tosses his Remote Electric Charge at Wyldstyle. The latter aims at the Red Dalek and fires, short-circuting it until it crashes. Wyldstyle kicks the body off the edge.
"I have had just about enough of these things," said Wyldstyle.
"So have I," said Gandalf, whacking a Dalek in the head.
More Daleks keep on coming.
"Everyone, get down," ordered Batman.
Batman manages to lure all Daleks close together. He jumps in the air, sprays Explosive Gel on the Daleks below, and pushes the detonation switch after landing, blowing up all the Daleks present.
"You rock, Bats," complimented Wyldstyle.
Sauron, witnessing the entire fight, unleashes a wave of black energy. The trio were too late to notice and get hit, almost getting knocked off the edge. Gandalf was about to fall off, until Batman grabs his hand and pulls him up.
"Thank you," said Gandalf.
"What just hit us?" asked Wyldstyle.
"Sauron," answered Gandalf. "His dark magic is more powerful than any I've ever seen."
Batman summons the Batmobile and started running it on the treadmill. He manages to raise a giant lamp from a hatch on the platform.
More Daleks, LexCorp robots, and Sauron's warriors engage the trio. Batman kicks down on Dalek before jamming an electric Batarang into another, blowing it up along with a Dalek near it. Gandalf fires magic blasts at the robots and Sauron's warriors. Wyldstyle back flip kicks a warrior before tripping it with a slide-tackle.
Batman rotates the valve of the giant lamp. The contraption attached to the valve plugs in an energy tank, turning on the lamp. It started to shine light against Sauron's tornado.
"Non-Dalek Lifeforms located. Exterminate!" said a Red Dalek coming from a hatch on the platform.
More Daleks back up the red Dalek. Wyldstyle, still holding the Remote Electric Charge, fires electricity at every Dalek coming her way. Batman uses his martial arts moves to destroy the Daleks. Gandalf notices the black and yellow device that popped up along with the Red Dalek.
"Batman, that contraption looks exactly like the one we used to create a... treadmill, you say?" said Gandalf.
"Then you know what to do," said Batman.
Gandalf whacks LexCorp robot out of his way before using his magic to turn the device into another car treadmill.
"No power in the Universe can stop the Daleks!" continued the Daleks.
Wyldstyle gives Batman back his gadget before walk-kicking a Dalek into pieces.
"How is this possible?!" The Daleks continue to resist admitting failure.
"It's possible because you guys are just a piece of junk," insulted Wyldstyle.
Wyldstyle rips a blaster off one Dalek and whacks it with the blaster. Wyldstyle throws the blaster up in the air and kicks towards the Dalek, destroying it.
Batman was about to get into his Batmobile, until Sauron unleashes another wave of black energy. This time, the trio jump over the wave, allowing the wave to destroy all the Daleks and robots nearby.
More Daleks, however, show up. Batman destroys two of them with one Batarang.
"How can this be?" The Daleks continue to be arrogant.
Wyldstyle kicks one Dalek in the eye.
"My vision is impaired! I cannot see!" complained the Dalek.
Gandalf fires one magic blast after another at the Daleks.
"The Daleks must survive!" continued the Daleks.
Batman gets into his Batmobile. Daleks approach him, so he activates the car's guns and fires non-lethal rounds at the Daleks. Due to the fact that the bullets are non-lethal, it takes more than one bullet to destroy a Dalek. After clearing his way, Batman runs the car on the treadmill, raising another gigantic lamp. Just like the last one, it needs activating. Batman rotates the valve, plugging in the energy tank, activating the lamp. It lights up on Sauron.
"Think that did it. Let's get going," said Wyldstyle.
One Dalek comes up towards Batman's left. Batman spin-kicks it, damaging it.
"Critical damage detected!" exclaimed the Dalek.
Another hatch opens, releasing another Red Dalek, and a black and yellow device.
"Daleks reign supreme!" said the Red Dalek. "We will repair! We will grow stronger!"
Wyldstyle takes one Batarang from Batman's Utility Belt and throws it at the Dalek, destroying it. The Batarang comes back to Wyldstyle and she returns it.
"I had to react fast," said Wyldstyle, in case Batman would be mad.
"We always have to react fast," replied Batman, not mad at all. He was proud.
"Gandalf, we need another treadmill," said Wyldstyle.
"Consider it done," replied Gandalf, whacking two LexCorp robots in front of him.
Sauron unleashes another wave of black energy. The trio jump over it, while the Daleks and the LexCorp bots are destroyed or knocked off the edge.
"Man, this Sauron guy really knows his stuff," commented Wyldstyle.
"He is a centuries-old entity. Of course, he knows a lot," said Gandalf.
"How old are you?" asked Wyldstyle.
"Over 2000 years, my lady," answered Gandalf.
"Wow," reacted Wyldstyle.
"Gandalf," called Batman. "I need that treadmill, now!"
Gandalf turns the black and yellow device into a car treadmill. While the tomboy and the wizard fend off the Daleks and the LexCorp robots, Batman hops into his Batmobile and runs on the treadmill, raising yet another giant lamp. He turns the valve and plugs in the energy tank, activating the lamp, shining it on Sauron.
"Yes!" cheered Wyldstyle.
Sauron was blinded by the light, causing him to lose his focus on his control. The platform ends up breaking through the wall and flying willy-nilly around Metropolis. Sauron manages to regain his focus and levitates the platform back to the top of the Dark Tower, right in front of the Eye.
"I see you!" bellowed Sauron again, surrounding himself with another protective tornado.
Sauron opens a rift in the sky and throws a searchlight at the trio. They dodge the incoming projectile. The crashing of the searchlight damages the technology within the platform, causing all the giant lamps to implode.
"That's the Bat-Signal," said Batman.
Gandalf looks at Sauron and says, "I shall banish you to the fiery depths!"
"If you can get out of your zone for a second, we really need to move," said Wyldstyle.
"What zone?" asked Gandalf.
"Acting like you're back home whenever you face an enemy from back home," clarified Wyldstyle.
"My apologies," said Gandalf.
Sauron's warriors engage the trio. Batman knocks a sword off one's hands before knocking him off the edge with an attack combo. Wyldstyle tricks two into slashing their blades together. She kicks one off the edge and knocks out the other with a spin punch. Gandalf whacks one warrior in the face before finishing him with a magic blast.
"You cannot defeat the darkness!" said Sauron.
"But you can't stop us from trying," said Gandalf.
"Gandalf, what do we do?" asked Wyldstyle.
"I don't know," said Gandalf. "Without the One Ring, we can't be rid of Sauron for good. If only we had another source of light to blind him."
"We do have a source of light," said Batman, pointing at the Bat-Signal.
"But it needs to be plugged in," said Wyldstyle.
"Then we need a generator," said Batman. "Wyldstyle, time to do what you do best."
Using her Master Builder skills, Wyldstyle uses the LEGO bricks from the destroyed lamps to build a generator for the Bat-Signal, powering it up.
"There," said Wyldstyle. "Now all we need to do is point it at him."
Batman runs towards the Bat-Signal and punches it, redirecting it to shine its light on Sauron. The Dark Lord is blinded again, causing him to lose control of the tornado surrounding him. Sauron jumps off his throne, away from the light, and decides to deal with the trio himself. First, he destroys the Bat-Signal with his staff.
"If you want something done right, you have to do it yourself!" said Sauron, taking out his spiked staff.
"That suit of armor looks pretty tough," said Wyldstyle.
"Sauron may be powerful, but he is not invulnerable," said Gandalf. "Onward!"
Gandalf charges towards Sauron, only to get whacked by his staff. With Gandalf on the ground, Batman and Wyldstyle run towards the Dark Lord. Sauron started spinning, trying to hit his enemies with an even stronger force. Batman and Wyldstyle stay out of the way of the "Sauron Tornado" until he stopped. Batman immediately throws a Batarang at Sauron. It actually damaged his armor.
Batman and Wyldstyle keep on punching and kicking Sauron, until a magic blast out of nowhere knocks down the Dark Lord. It was Gandalf, finally on his feet.
"Nice shot," complimented Wyldstyle.
"Thank you," replied Gandalf.
Sauron gets back on his throne, casting another protective tornado, and attempted to use his power to gain control of the trio's minds with dark magic. They struggled to keep their minds free.
"Your struggle is meaningless," said Sauron.
Forunately, Gandalf breaks free and frees his friends. LexCorp robots arrive, but the trio easily took care of them, dismantling them or knocking them off the edge.
A news helicopter shows up. Lois Lane was at the passenger's seat, while Jimmy Olsen took pictures. The flashes from the camera were irritating Sauron.
"You'll pay for this outrage!" said an angry Sauron.
Sauron opens a rift and hits the helicopter with a big wooden cart, causing it spin out of control. The cart, meanwhile, falls on the platform.
"That's my old cart," said Gandalf. "Where in Middle-Earth did they find that?"
"Doesn't matter. We're gonna have use it," said Batman.
"Look, LEGO bricks can do a lot of wonders, but I don't think even we can create a source of light out of an old-time-y cart," said Wyldstyle.
"No, but we can use it for something," said Batman.
"What do you suggest?" asked Gandalf.
"A vegetable cannon," answered Batman.
"Well, I'll leave you to it," said Gandalf.
"You're gonna do this, Gandalf," said Batman.
"A cannon out of my own cart. Seems complicated," said Gandalf. "But I still don't see how shooting vegetables from a cannon can stop Sauron."
Batman takes out his explosive Batarang and puts it along with the other vegetables.
"Get assembling," ordered Batman.
Gandalf takes his cart apart with his magic and levitates the pieces in the air. He creates a vegetable cannon, complete with a driver's seat and a control pad.
"I'll let you do the honors," said Batman.
Gandalf sits down and aims the cannon at Sauron. He pushes the "fire" button. Not only did the cannon shoot vegetables. It shot them like a cannon would shoot a cannonball. The vegetables hit Sauron hard, causing him to abandon his throne and destroys the cannon.
Sauron whacks the trio with his staff one at a time. He unleashes a shockwave of dark magic at Wyldstyle, knocking her off the platform. Batman grabs his Grapple Gun and grabs hold of her leg, pulling her back onto the platform.
"Thanks," said Wyldstyle.
"Don't mention it," said Batman.
Gandalf and Sauron engage in a sword fight, where they use their respective weapons like swords. Sauron gets the advantage by getting into a spin cycle again, knocking Gandalf back. When he stopped, he gets immediately knocked down by a flying kick from Batman. Sauron gets up and jumps in the air. He slams his staff on the ground, but Batman dodges the blow. Sauron unleashes another dark magic shockwave, but Batman dodges it as well. Gandalf hits Sauron from behind with a magic blast.
Sauron returns to his throne, summoning another black tornado. He aims his dark magic towards Batman and tries to take control of his will.
"I shall rule all!" bellowed Sauron.
To the Dark Lord's surprise, Batman breaks free of his control.
"You resisted Sauron's temptation," said a surprised Gandalf. "You truly are unique, Batman."
Sauron opens another rift and throws a school bus. The trio dodge it, leaving it to tumble off the platform. As it did, it broke in half. The fromt half remained on the platform and broke into little LEGO pieces.
"Whoah! Okay, I wish this guy would stop throwing stuff," said Wyldstyle.
Daleks arrive on the platform and fired their blasters at the trio. Batman destroys one Dalek by cutting its head off with a Batarang. Wyldstyle hits a Dalek with a spin kick before disassembling it with an uppercut. Gandalf dismantles a Dalek with his magic and throws it off the edge.
The trio head to the pile of LEGO bricks left behind by the bus. Batman rebuilds the front half of the bus, turning it into a kiddie ride, complete with a driver's seat. The two headlights are active.
"Creative," complimented Wyldstyle.
"Care to do the honors?" asked Batman.
"That guy threw me off this metal piece of junk, so heck, yeah," replied Wyldstyle.
Wyldstyle gets on the driver's seat and directs the headlights towards Sauron, blinding him again. Sauron jumps off his throne and destroys the bus.
"Wow! Now he looks really mad," said Wyldstyle.
Sauron engages Batman and tries to hit him. Batman dodges every swing, but couldn't dodge Sauron's dark shockwave, getting knocked down. Sauron was about to bring down his staff hard on Batman, until he got hit in the back with a magic blast, courtesy of Gandalf. Sauron turns around just as Gandalf fires another magic blast. Sauron knocks it away by simply hitting it with his staff.
Batman gets up and grabs Sauron's staff. The two wrestle for the possession of it. Knowing that he couldn't win the fight, Batman instead directs the staff towards Sauron's chest, hurting him. Wyldstyle and Gandalf were shocked by this act of violence.
Sauron pulls his staff out of his chest, but remained weak. Batman jams an explosive Batarang into the Dark Lord's healing chest. The Dark Knight steps away as the explosion knocks Sauron back a dozen feet.
Gandalf looks down on the Dark Lord. Sauron sits up and looks back at his Eye. It was beginning to vanish.
"How... is this possible?!" Sauron was surprised of what just happened.
The Eye of Sauron disappears.
"This is not your domain," said Gandalf. "You have no power here, Sauron the Deceiver."
A rift opens in the sky, sucking in Sauron.
"Ha! Some 'lord'. He didn't even have giant pants," insulted Wyldstyle as she watched the rift take Sauron away.
However, the rift was also sucking in the Keystone that was still on top of the throne.
"No!" cried Wyldstyle.
Wyldstyle climbs up the throne and grabs the Keystone just as it started floating. However, she was left grabbing onto the throne as the rift tried to pull her in.
"Can someone give me a hand?" she asked.
The giant hand that took away Lex Luthor came out of the rift.
"Oh, yeah, not him, though," said Wyldstyle.
Wyldstyle loses her grip on the throne. Luckily, Gandalf raises his staff in time, allowing Wyldstyle grab hold of it. The wizard pulls her down.
"Thanks," said a grateful Wyldstyle.
Another rift opens.
"Move!" ordered Batman.
The trio run just as the giant hand comes out the rift, trying to smash them. Unfortunately, they had nowhere to go. Luckily, the Keystone in Wyldstyle's hand opened a rift below.
"This way," she said, jumping off the platform.
Gandalf jumped after her.
Batman looks at the giant hand behind him. He jumps off the platform before it smashed him.
The rift disappears as soon as the Dark Knight fell in.
I decided not to have Sauron transformed into a cube, because he seemed too serious of a character to be subjected to a humiliating punishment, even if it was a LEGO video game. Anyway, I hope this was still fun.
