Chapter six is and also finished with Spider-Man PS4…again. Yeah, I played through it again, but this time found a way to keep all the suits, gadgets, and skills I earned from the game. That even includes the DLC. Going to wait for part three though and get all my suits.
I WANT THEM ALL!
Anyways, last time we saw our young Avengers arriving to join Batman in his fight to retake Gotham. James Rogers, Kymera, Ezra Bridgers, Luna Sanchez, and Benjamin Stacy. Will they be enough to help Batman stop Scarecrow? Or will they run into an enemy they've never gone up against before?
Tune in today to find out. Also thanks to everyone for the awesome support. I appreciate it so much guys and also thanks to my friend AVP5 for the help as well. I appreciate all the support and love you guys. I also appreciate the help from my friend for doing this and also for those asking about his Predator/Star Wars story…be patient please.
Now then, let's get started with the disclaimer. I don't own anything from Marvel or DC. I also don't own a certain character from a universe far, far away. I only own my OCs, which are the kids of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Now, enjoy the chapter!
Chapter VI
Gotham City
Ben and Batman made their way through the city to find Scarecrow. Earlier, Batman found out Scarecrow's location and heads over to stop him. All while Ben's team took off to help secure the city and bring in the rest of the criminals. Fortunately for them they managed to find the location of the other criminals thanks to Barbara Gordon aka Oracle.
They arrived to where Scarecrow is hiding out as Batman and Ben land on a nearby rooftop. They overlook the area and find no guards around the building. This appeared way too easy. Batman knew if Scarecrow was here he would have more security around.
Luckily for him he managed to hack into the radio of Scarecrow's men. So he can find out what is going on. He learns they appear to be holding someone in the building. He then hears what sounds like a woman's voice…one he recognized.
The two go to the roof and look through a glass ceiling below them. Ben's mask begins scanning inside and identify how many people are inside.
"Nine hostiles and one unarmed. A female and she appears to be inside a container with one of the hostiles. All right, so what's our first…" Ben was cut off when Batman leaps off and breaks through the glass taking out one of the men. "Or we can do it your way."
Batman goes over one of the men kicking his weapon away, until one of the men grabs him from behind. Ben leaps down and fires a web grabbing the bad guy. Pulling him off of Batman before kicking him in the face. The others came at them as Ben and Batman stood back to back.
The men charged in, but Ben and Batman kick them away. Batman grabs Ben's arm and throws him into a nearby criminal. Ben kicks the criminal in the face taking him out. Batman ducks and Ben fires two webs at the two men coming up behind Batman.
Batman delivers a kick to the face of both men taking them both out. The three men prepared to open fire, but Batman throws a Batarang knocking the weapons out of their hands. Ben leaps over Batman and fires taser webs at one of the men, which began electrocuting the other two men. Batman rushes over and elbows one of the men in the face knocking him out.
Ben meanwhile fires two Impact Web shots at the other two men and sticks them to the wall. "And that's how it is done," he said until he hears the woman from earlier talking to the heroes in the container.
"About time you showed up," said the woman in the container as who is strapped to her seat with one of the men inside aiming his gun at her. "Now, mind taking care of this little annoyance?"
Ben and Batman turn to the criminal, but their attention turns to a video screen behind the woman. It showed Scarecrow on the screen with the criminal speaking to him.
"Sir…it's Batman," said the criminal. "He also brought that spider kid with him."
"Were you expecting to find me, Batman?" Scarecrow replied through the speakers around the room. "I'm afraid I must disappoint you. And I see you brought the young spider hero from his dimension. You should have never come back, boy."
As Scarecrow spoke the criminal releases Ivy, but keeps his gun aimed at her. All while Scarecrow continued to speak.
"Take a look at the chamber. I want you to know the fear that is coming," said Scarecrow as the criminal pulls Ivy up and keeps his gun aimed at her head.
"Listen up, Bat-Freak and you too you punk! We're walking out of here, nice and slow," said the criminal. "You both try anything stupid. Ill blow her brains out."
The woman however has other ideas in mind. "Charming…but only one of us is getting out of this cell."
Suddenly the gas begins leaking into the room and begins infecting the criminal. He begins firing his gun as the fear gas begins affecting him. However, as he turns towards Batman and Spider-Man, the woman rams his head into the glass knocking him out. The woman though appears unharmed by the gas.
"Nothing like a little natural immunity," said the woman as she begins leaving the chamber, before turning to the heroes. "What are you doing here? And this your new sidekick?"
"Why does everyone assume I am the sidekick?" Ben asked who clearly didn't like being labeled as a sidekick.
"Don't worry about him, Ivy," said Batman as he focused on his questions. "Why did Scarecrow lock you up?"
The woman now revealed to be Poison Ivy walks over to Batman, while Ben stood near the chamber.
"No hello?" Ivy asked as she approached the dark knight who she could tell isn't in the mood for games. "And what if I don't want to?"
"Then I burn every plant in Gotham," Batman replied with his threat.
Ben was a bit surprised by this. Sure, he knew Batman would break a few bones here and there or hell uses his fear tactics to get what he needs. However, this time it was different. This time Batman seems more dark and less patient.
Something Ben wasn't used to. He decides to chime in to try cooling the situation down.
"Ms. Ivy. Clearly Scarecrow isn't a friend of yours and clearly he is willing to kill you if you are not useful to him. If you help us though we'll make sure we not only take him down, but we make sure he pays for any harm he did to you and your plants," said Ben as he tries playing good cop.
Ivy turns to the boy and doubts what he says since she knew how men are like. Still, she knew what he says is true about Scarecrow. Either he'll sent his men to kill her or send…his new friend after her. She knew this and decides to play along with whatever Batman needs.
"It started with the meeting…" Ivy began as she walks away from the two heroes as she tells her story. "Everyone was there: Penguin, Two-Face, Riddler, and even poor Harley. Scarecrow said he had a plan…" they soon go outside to the balcony where Ivy's vines begin to appear. "That together we could take you out and Gotham would be ours."
"Over my dead body," said Batman.
One of the vines goes up to Ivy's arm as she turns to Batman. "I believe that was the idea."
Ben can see why this is a problem. Dealing with one supervillain is bad enough, but facing multiple ones who are now working together will make things bad. It also doesn't help that those criminals Ivy mentioned are the same ones Ben encountered last time, especially Harley. Oh boy he wonders if she still holds a grudge for what happened to her clown boyfriend.
"I told him that I wasn't interested in his pathetic human game and when I came to I was locked in that room," said Ivy who recalls Scarecrow knocking her out and locking her in the chamber to die.
"Sounds like he was hoping you'd join him if he can use your plants to spread his fear toxin," said Ben who got Ivy and Batman's attention when they turned to face him. "I mean, it makes sense if you think about it. If Scarecrow had Ms. Ivy working for him he would have used her plants to spread the toxin or probably upgrade it to make it more powerful."
Ivy was impressed with what the boy said and knew he was right. "You have a smart sidekick there," and a polite one that Ivy likes as she begins walking towards the door with Batman behind her. "It's such a shame that his vile toxin has no effect on me."
Suddenly more vines begin appearing as they prepared to attack Batman and Spider-Man as the door opened. Once they were in position Ivy makes her move.
"Nature always wins," soon her plants wrapped around the two heroes and pulls them away as the door closes behind her. The room turns out to be an elevator as Ivy begins heading down for her escape. "Will they ever learn?"
However, the door opened and Ivy steps out she lets out a frustrated sigh when she saw both heroes are all right. Unscathed from the attack, which Ivy thought would work.
"You're coming with us," said Batman as he walks over to grab Ivy's arm.
"You only had to ask," said Ivy as Batman begins preparing to call for the Batmobile, when she noticed Spider-Man looking down the street. "What's with him?"
"Trouble," said Ben as they hear a loud explosion coming nearby.
Soon a military tank appeared along with other military vehicles as they begin surrounding the trio. "We've got the targets, sir," said one of the soldiers. "They're cornered."
They soon hear another voice speaking to the men through their radio. It wasn't one they recognized, but Batman knew they have to worry about that later. For now they need to get out of here without killing anyone. Fortunately for them, Alfred had the tank scanned.
"Sir that tank they have backing the up is unmanned," said Alfred.
"Good," said Batman as he turns to Ben. "You can handle this or shall I?"
Ben begins smiling under his mask as he turns to Batman. "We've got this. Been wanting to try this little trick we've been working on. Just get her out of here…mask!"
Suddenly Sym appeared around Ben's body, except this time it was different. The Symbiote appeared bulkier and grew in size. His face also appeared a bit monstrous. A lot like when the Joker merged with his Symbiote.
The men got scared and opened fire, but the Symbiote shields Batman and Ivy from getting hit. The tank opened fire, but Sym caught the shell with its mouth and bites down on it with its fanged teeth. The Symbiote leaps up and comes crashing down on the tank. Crushing it completely as the men continued opening fire.
Sym fires five tendrils at the weapons and pulls them away from the men. It then lifts its left hand up and fires a large web at the three men. Trapping them in their vehicle. The Symbiote approached the men and roars at them causing the men to scream before turning to Batman.
"Well, there's something you don't see every day," said Ivy who didn't expect to see this today.
"Spider-Man, you in there?" Batman asked as he prepares to take this monster down if it took over Ben like it did with the Joker.
"We are fine," said the Symbiote in a deep voice with Ben also speaking at the same time. "This is a new trick we began working on to help handle situations like these…" suddenly they hear Oracle contacting them about more tanks heading their way. "I will handle these tanks. Get Ivy to the police."
Batman nods as he gets the Batmobile and places Ivy in the back of the vehicle. Strapped to the seat before he gets into his seat. He begins taking off as Ben stays behind with Sym taking over. Right on cue more tanks begin coming in and opened fire.
Sym roared as he fires a web at the shell and begins swinging it before throwing it back hitting the tank. More begin heading their way as the begin trying to chase Batman. Sym though fires a web and begins swinging after the tanks. Sym lands on a nearby tank and grabs the barrel of the tank before ripping it off.
Sym leaps off the tank and slams into it before tossing the barrel at the other tank destroying it. Three down and three more to go. Sym leaps off after the tanks, while Batman continues driving down the street. Heading towards the police station, while trying to figure out where they are coming from.
"Oracle. I need to knw where those tanks are coming from," said Batman as he avoids getting shot. He begins using his Batmobile's defense weapons to try shooting them down.
"I'm tracking several transport helicopters moving into the city. There are more on the way," said Oracle as she figures out where they are at. "James and Luna appear close to the area. I will let them know to investigate."
"Tell them to be careful. Whoever is behind this isn't someone we should underestimate," said Batman who didn't want to take any chances with this group.
"Understood," said Oracle as begins going to work.
Meanwhile, Sym sees Batman taking down one of the tanks, but they are closing in. Almost hitting the Batmobile and hitting some stores. Sym needed to end this so it switched out with Ben taking over again. His size grew back to Ben's size, but Sym remained around Ben to help him speed up.
Ben fires a web on the right side of the tank and then another web to the left side of the tank. He then pulls the two webs together forcing the two tanks to collide into each other. Ben bounces off the tanks and fires two webs into their barrel. He lands on the Batmobile as the tanks tried to open fire, but instead they blew up with their barrels blocked up.
Once they are gone Ben taps on the Batmobile. "Mission accomplished."
Batman understood and begins getting word from Oracle. "Batman. I'm seeing a transport deploying more tanks at Panessa Studios. I've warned GCPD to pull their men off the streets."
"I think Ezra and Kymera should be there. Let them handle it," said Ben who knew his friends can handle these tanks.
"We're heading over there anyways. It's on the route back to the GCPD," said Batman as he drives them down the streets.
Meanwhile
Ezra and Kymera sneak on the rooftops of the city trying to find the Penguin. They tried his old hideout, but found it was destroyed. It looks like it was too obvious to look there first. However, they got a lead on someone who will be able to tell them what they need. So, they began heading over there when they heard some explosions coming from the other side of the city.
"Is it just me or did that sound like a tank?" Ezra asked knowing how Earth's tank weapons sound like when fired.
Kymera recognized the sound as well. "It seems what we heard is true. Whoever is working with Scarecrow brought with him military class weapons."
"Well, that explains those men we encountered earlier," said Ezra recalling their encounter with a group of armed men that looked like they were from the military. "So, what do you want to do?"
Kymera knew they should investigate the sound, but it is in the direction Batman and Ben are at so…"We keep moving forward. I'm sure the others can handle whatever that is."
Ezra doesn't doubt that, but still. He wish they can go check it out. Suddenly he begins getting a call from Oracle.
"What's up, Oracle?" Ezra asked.
"Multiple tanks have been detected in your area. Batman is on his way, but Ben thinks you two can handle it," Oracle explained.
Ezra turns to Kymera who begins smiling. "I think you'll find a few little tanks is hardly a challenge for us," said Ezra as he took out his lightsaber and noticed the tanks coming. "So, how do we do this? Distract and strike? Or a quick lightning strike and that's it?"
Kymera cracks her neck and then her knuckles. "Let's have some fun."
Kymera leaps down and begins approaching the tanks with her hands out to her side. The tanks turn to her as her suit begins appearing around her body. The tanks take aim at her as Kymera begins running at them. They soon opened fire, but she managed to dodge the attacks with ease.
Ezra leaps over and lands on one of the tanks. He cuts open the hood of it and leaps up to find no one inside. It appears someone is remotely controlling them. Too bad for them as he leaps down and begins cutting around the weapon before leaping out as it explodes.
Some of the tanks turn to Ezra and begin opening fire. Ezra dodges the attacks and uses the Force to lift one of the nearby vehicles and throws it at a nearby tank. It didn't destroy the tank, but did knock it back. Ezra slides under the tank and uses his lightsaber to cut it from below before destroying it.
Kymera uses her powers as she begins summoning some lightning to charge around her body. She rushes over and slashes against two of the tanks destroying them both as the electricity caused it to explode. She then summons some lightning and has it come crashing down on three more tanks destroying them both. One of the tanks got a hit on her as she is knocked into a nearby building causing it to explode.
Ezra sees this and uses the Force as he throws his lightsaber. He moves his hand up and helps guide his weapon to cut through some of the tanks until only three left. The middle tank aims at Ezra and fires. Ezra gets his lightsaber back in time before he slices the shell in half before it hits him.
Kymera emerged from the building appearing unscathed and her suit glowing purple. She leaps over as the two other tanks prepared to open fire. She lands on the middle tank and unleashes the kinetic energy stored in her suit. The energy sends the other two tanks flying until they crashed on the ground.
Ezra looks around to see the tanks are all destroyed and deactivates his lightsaber. "And that's why if you ever come to visit my galaxy no one would stand a chance of beating you."
"Flattery gets you nowhere, Bridges," said Kymera as she has her suit retract the helmet from her face. "Still, these tanks are nothing to underestimate. We only survived because of what we can do, but the police officers…"
Ezra understood and sighed. "We should let them know not to engage these tanks and let us handle it. We should also let Batman know…" right on cue the Batmobile arrived as Ben lands near the group.
"You guys okay?" Ben asked.
"We're okay. I take it you didn't find Scarecrow?" Ezra asked.
Batman emerged from the tank and looks around. "Not yet. But we found someone who gave us some information. You two also appeared to have been busy. No killing, right?"
"Relax. All of them appeared to have been remotely controlled," said Ezra as he recalls what he saw earlier in the tank. "Whoever is controlling them has to have been within a close range."
"I agree," said Kymera who knew they couldn't have controlled this from far away. "Somewhere in the city to control these tanks and they have must more of them. What do you want to do?"
"Go to the Clock Tower. I'm going to see Oracle soon to see if she has anything on the fear toxin," said Batman knowing Kymera might be able to assist them. "Once we're done there continue your search for Two-Face Penguin, Riddler, and Harley Quinn."
"Harley who?" Ezra asked who didn't recognize the name.
"Crazy lady who dated the clown guy I told you guys about. Just be careful and don't do anything crazy," said Ben as he sees Batman already taking off in his vehicle. Ben sighed when he saw this and rubs his head. "Lord knows we've got already one of us doing that."
Ben swings off after Batman, while his friends take off to the Clock Tower. Unaware they were being watched by someone. Someone from the shadows who saw what the heroes did. Not only did they take out the tanks with ease, but they did it without using their full strength.
"Now, to see how their allies will do against my men," said the mysterious figure as he disappears into the darkness.
That's the end of the chapter and yep Ben went all Venom on us. So, the idea I had here is Sym the Symbiote could take over allowing Ben to become a lot stronger with his friend taking the wheel. The appearance is a lot like from the Venom movie. So, you all can get an idea of how he looks.
However, due to his…bulky size he can't move around fast enough. That is why Ben takes over and returns to his normal size. It also seems Kymera and Ezra worked well together in their fight too. Even Ezra who has a lot of experience in these sort of fights, which will serve him well in Gotham.
It also seems like someone was watching from the shadows. Was it Deathstroke, Azrael, or perhaps the Arkham Knight? If so, what are they planning? And will our heroes stop them in time or let the city down?
Tune in next time to find out how things will go. If you guys like how this went then please leave a review. Just nothing negative guys. Hateful reviews are not welcome here.
Also, if you guys have any questions let me know and I will reply to them. Also, no story request guys. Okay? Not to be rude, but I got too much on my plate right now and can't do more stories.
BYE!
