*Sofia, Drake, Gloyd, Ron and I are battling a dark pink-skinned man with black hair wearing a black and yellow suit with a yellow power ring on his left hand*
Drake: This has gone far enough, Sinestro.
Sinestro: For once, I agree. *he creates shackles with his ring and binds Sofia with them*
Me: Sofia!
Sofia: Someone, help me!
Sinestro: Farewell.
*Sinestro tries to fly away with Sofia in tow, until a green power blast hits Sinestro in the chest*
?: Let her go, Sinestro.
*a white man with brown hair wearing a green mask, a green and black uniform with white gloves and green boots as well as a green power ring on his right hand flies through the door*
Gloyd: *gasps* Green Lantern?!
Green Lantern: What's up?
Sinestro: Well, well, well. My ex-teammate, Hal Jordan.
*We look at him in disbelief*
Hal: Secret identity. Only he and my friends know about me.
Ron: Noted.
Me: Alright, now the heat is on. You readers enjoy this chapter while we work with Green Lantern to save Sofia.
The 7 Medallions
Chapter 25: The Dark Knight
At the top of the Castle That Never Was, all of the Organization's members, save for Demyx, was gathered here for an announcement. Saïx walks in with the Princess extraction device. A Corridor of Darkness appears and Demyx appears from it. He kneels in respect for five seconds before standing back up.
"Ah, Demyx. How was your latest mission?" Xemnas asked. Demyx sighs in disappointment.
"My master, it pains me to say that Axel has sided with the enemy. I tried to bring him back with force, but even with our new allies, those Keyblade Masters are too powerful. I have failed you." Demyx reported with a discouraged tone. Xemnas slowly shook his head and sighs.
"Do not fear your failure, Demyx. It was unwise of me to send you alone." Xemnas said with amnesty. Demyx looks at him with surprise. "To carry out our plan of unlocking Kingdom Hearts, we must retrieve the remaining Medallions and that girl's amulet. I shall deal with them myself. Until I return, you must remain here." He then gave Saïx the Medallion of Darkness and left through a corridor of Darkness.
As the Gummi Ship travels through the dimensional bridge on the way to Gotham City, Axel is telling the Organization's plan to Lightning, Kitana and the Park workers. The Park workers are surprised upon hearing this. Skips growls with interest.
"So what you're saying is that in order to unlock the Door to Darkness, they need the seven Princesses of Heart and Sofia is connected to them through her amulet?" Skips asked. Axel nods.
"And to get them, the Organization built a device that can extract them from it, right?" Kitana asked.
"That's right. I've seen the device myself." Axel answered. Lightning gets up from her seat.
"Where are you going?" Benson asked.
"I'm going to take a look around the ship." Lightning answered.
"Well, make sure you come back." Skips said.
"Of course." Lightning replied as she left the meeting room. She looked around the hall of the ship until she came across Mason's chamber. Lightning went into Mason's chamber and sighs.
"So. You're the new Keyblade Master that Yen Sid told us about." Lightning smiled and jabbed him in the shoulder.
"How long have you worked with Scarlet?" Mason asked.
"About the same time Skips retired. I decided to go back to my soldier roots and fight alongside one of the greatest heroes in the multiverse." Lightning answered.
"Why? From what I've heard, you and your friends moved to a new world free of gods." Mason said.
"True. But I missed the adrenaline rush of being a hero so much that I decided to join the Scarlet Army. That is what I missed about being a hero." Lightning added. Then, Lightning shook her head. "500 years in crystal stasis and I'm spending my newest mission with a bunch of kids."
"That would sound like it would be embarrassing for anyone who's been fighting as long as you have." Mason said. Then, the alarm began to blare.
"We must be getting close to our destination." Mason said as he got up. Lightning and Mason left and met with Sora in the cockpit. "When will the Keyhole open, Sora?"
"Right about…" Sora answered as the Keyhole appeared right in front of them. "Now."
The ship flies out of the Keyhole through the night sky in a lit-up city and lands on a rooftop nearby. Sora, Mason, Axel, Lightning, Kitana, Scarlet, Sofia, Amber, James, Drake, Mordecai, Rigby, Skips, Muscle Man, Hi Five Ghost, the Core 4, the Sugar Rush Racers and the Lyoko Warriors exit the ship and see the sights.
"Whoa. So this is Gotham City." Rancis said in amazement.
"Could someone pinch me? I must be dreaming." Ron said in amazement.
"No time for sightseeing, you guys. We've got a Medallion to find." Sora interjected. "Benson, Pops, you and the young royals stay here and guard the Medallions."
"Got it, Sora." Benson replied with a nod.
"Okay, let's start our search in the streets. There should be someone here who knows about the Medallion." Mason said as he and his group left through the building they landed on and began their search. Unknown to them, someone was watching from a very high tower. He leaps off the tower.
As Mason's group is exploring the city, the Sugar Rush racers are fascinated by the wonder of the city, especially Rancis and Ron. Then, Rancis and Ron start to hear a conversation nearby.
"Hey, wait." Rancis said. The others stop. "Do you guys hear that?"
"Hear what?" Amber asked.
"I think someone's talking." Ron answered as he began to focus his hearing on the conversation. "This way." Rancis and Ron led them to where they heard the conversation. They hid alongside a building to keep from being seen. Rancis and Ron peek behind the wall to see three thugs talking. They all wore tattered clothes and a smile mask.
"Man, things have been weird since the One Earth regime was disbanded." One thug said.
"Wait, how weird?" another thug asked.
"Beats me. One minute, all was okay and the next, everyone started becoming desperate again." The first thug answered.
"And you're saying all of this happened because of a blue comet landing in Arkham?" the third thug asked.
"Yeah. Once the Joker got his hands on that thing, all of the other inmates started acting like how they did in Arkham City." The first thug answered. Rancis and Ron turn back to the group.
"A blue comet in Arkham…" Ron said quietly.
"Could they be talking about a Medallion?" Rancis asked quietly.
"Who knows? We won't find out by standing here." Sofia whispered.
"Sofia's right. We should go while we still can." Ralph added. Then, one of the thugs began to shout.
"Look out! It's the Bat!" The second thug warned with a shout.
"What?!" Mason asked as the group looked from behind the wall. They see the three thugs fighting a man wearing a black cowl with bat ears, a metallic suit with a bat symbol across his chest, metal gauntlets with fins on the outer sides on his wrists, knee-high greaves and a black cape with a spiked pattern at the bottom. He also wore a yellow utility belt with a similar bat symbol on the buckle. The man is fast enough to knock out all three thugs. After the fight, he looks at the downed thugs.
"Whoa. This guy must have trained a lot to take them down." James quietly said.
"You may be right." Candlehead added.
"Wait a minute. That's Batman!" Ron pieced together, looking at the caped man.
"Really?" Yumi asked. Ron gives him a sure nod.
"You know I can hear you." Batman said. "You can come out now." The group comes out of the alleyway and meets Batman face-to-face.
"Okay, just a quick question: How did you know we were here?" Sora asked.
"I have state-of-the-art technology that can intercept any form of communication within a 10-mile radius." Batman answered with a serious tone. Adorabeezle's eyes glow with amazement.
"Interesting. Anyway, my name's Mason. This is Sora, Axel, Scarlet, Lightning, Kitana, Sofia, Amber, James, Drake, Mordecai, Rigby, Muscle Man, Hi Five Ghost, Skips, Ralph, Felix, Calhoun, Vanellope, Rancis, Taffyta, Candlehead, Crumbelina, Gloyd, Minty, Adorabeezle, Jubileena, Swizzle, Snowanna, Ron, Ulrich, Odd, Yumi and Aelita." Mason introduced himself and his friends.
"It is nice to meet visitors." Batman said. "What's your reason for coming to Gotham?"
"We came here looking for an item of great importance." Calhoun answered.
"All of the information we got from the thugs was that a blue comet landed in a place called Arkham." Sora added. Batman jolts upon hearing that name.
"Arkham?!" Batman asked. He pieces together the events that happened and figures out who has it. "Joker."
"Joker?" Taffyta asked.
"Yes. He's one of the most dangerous criminals locked up there. He can take any crime he commits and think of it as a joke." Batman answered.
"Sheesh. He must be completely crazy to get a laugh out of things like that." Felix said.
"That's who he is. The only person who ever loved that psychopath was Harley Quinn." Batman added.
"Harley Quinn?" Ulrich asked.
"She was once one of Arkham's psychologists. Before gaining his trust completely, her real name was Harleen Quinzel." Batman answered.
"Okay, now that we've associated with one another, I should say we get that blue comet posthaste." Mason intervened.
"Of course." Batman said as he activated his communicator. "Batman to Watchtower, I'm heading to Arkham to retrieve a blue comet that landed there."
"Understood. I just got back from Metropolis dealing with Doomsday. We'll set up some reinforcements just in case." A voice confirmed from another location.
"Excellent. Make sure you send those reinforcements as soon as possible when we need them. Batman out." Batman added as he hung up. "Let's go." The group nods at the vigilante detective and proceed to Arkham Asylum.
*Ron hits Sinestro in the stomach with the hilts of his Sai. Green Lantern blasts him with an energy rocket and it blasts him back. The yellow shackles disappear, freeing Sofia.*
Hal: That's enough, Sinestro.
Sinestro: The battle may be over, Jordan, but this is just the beginning of a well-fought war. I'll be back for you yet. *escapes through a yellow portal.*
Gloyd: Thanks for the assist, Lantern.
Hal: No problem. Well, I need to get back to Ferris City. See you around. *flies out the window*
Drake: Man, he must be really cool to use a ring like that.
Me: I'll say.
Sofia: Hey, Archer. If you see him again, tell him I said thanks.
Me: Will do. You readers review. Peace out!
