Chapter 4 Gotham's Guardian
Its been a few days since the Justice League meet with Monarch to discuss the identities of the Titans in each of their cities. However they could give that information up due to the fact people like Lane, Eiling and Luthor would stop at nothing to eradicate the Titans.
So they had no other option but to wait and see what Titans would emerge from slumber.
Currently in Gotham
Batman was looking over information on his most hated enemies. Joker, Black Mask, Riddler, Killer Croc and various others.
Reason being was he had gotten wind of Joker bringing them all together for something sinister for Gotham. Whatever it was though had Batman concerned.
"Still nothing?" Dick asked walking in.
"Nothing. Whatever Joker has planed he needs our worst enemies to pull whatever he's gonna do to Gotham." Batman said looking through the computer before something came up.
"What is it?" Dick asked.
"Found them. At the docks." Batman said before the others walked in.
"What are they doing down there?" Barbara asked.
"I don't know but I intend to find out." Batman said. "Suit up." Batman said.
Later
Batman and his group arrived at the docks before hiding behind some crates before they saw all of Gotham's most dangerous criminals. Joker, Scarecrow, Bane, Two-Face, Harley, Poison Ivy, Mr. Freeze, Riddler, Killer Croc, Mad Hatter, Mr. Zsasz, Penguin, Black Mask and Clayface.
"Yikes. Never once have they all been in one place like this." Robin said.
"What is Joker up to?" Batgirl asked.
"We're about to find out." Batman said as said man appeared in front of the villains of Gotham.
"I'm so glad you all could make it." Joker said.
"Cut the courtesies Joker. Whats this about. You better not be wasting my time." Two-Face said flipping his coin as usual.
"Oh no. I'm here with a proposition for everyone. To finally take control of Gotham." Joker said.
"We've all tried that before. It won't work. Batman will just get in the way." Black Mask said.
"Not if we all work together. Alone we won't stand a chance. But together on the other hand. Think about it. Even he can't stop us all." Joker said laughing.
"He's got a point." Killer Croc said.
"So what do you suggest? We just team up and defeat Batman and take over Gotham? Your forgetting about the Justice League." The Riddler said.
"Not if we hold the city hostage. Harley." Joker said getting her to open a case full of viles three to be exact in green, blue and purple. "Inside these viles are chemicals that alone are harmless but combined however they make the most toxic Virus known to man. Virus X." Joker said shocking them.
"Isn't that the same Virus Sean and his parents were infected with?" Batgirl asked.
"Yes, And theres no cure for it. Sean lived because of Godzilla's radiation that both cured him and mutated his DNA. If Joker plans to use that Virus on Gotham to hold it hostage we'll be looking at Genocide." Batman said.
"So my friends are you all in?" Joker asked before a batarang flew by and his him in the shoulder making him groan in pain before seeing the Heroes of Gotham.
"BATMAN!" Bane yelled charging right at him.
"I'll handle Bane. You all make sure those chemicals do not leave here." Batman said as he and Bane fought.
"Easy enough." Robin said rushing past Black Mask and Riddler before coming face to face with Zsasz.
"Hello Robin. I'll enjoy killing you." Zsasz said with a grin.
"Oh boy." Robin said before jumping back.
Batgirl was fighting against Harley and Ivy.
"Harley I can understand since she's blind by the Joker but you Ivy? That virus doesn't just kill people! It also affects plant life." Batgirl said making her eyes widen.
"What!" Ivy yelled before Batgirl knocked her down out cold.
"Red!" Harley yelled before charging at Batgirl with her mallet but missed.
Nightwing was going up against Killer Croc and Black Mask.
"I've been waiting a long time to put you little heroes in your place." Black Mask said grinning.
"Yeah right." Nightwing said before kicking them back.
While this was going on Joker took the chemicals and left unseen making him laugh at his victory.
Robin and Zsasz continued to fight till Robin got hit in the head making him groan as he fell down.
"Can you swim?" Zsasz asked before throwing him into the water.
"Robin!" Batgirl yelled fending Harley off.
"Just to make sure." Zsasz said jumping in.
Robin sank into the water before Zsasz neared him with a knife in hand about to got for the kill.
However a pair of giant Red eyes glowed in front of Robin making Zsasz widen his eyes before swiming away in fear while whatever the creature was looked at Robin.
Later
Robin was on a table being examined back in the Batcave.
"Why didn't Zsasz finish the Job? He never lets anyone live when he has a chance to kill." Batgirl said.
"I don't know. Something down there spooked him real good." Batman said before contacting the League.
"Yo. Whats up?" David asked on the screen.
"We've got a problem in Gotham. Joker has acquired chemicals for a dangerous virus." Batman said.
"Since when do you need help? There are four of you down there." David said.
"Not when the stakes are far too high. Joker has the chemicals to weaponize Virus X." Batman said making him narrow his eyes.
"Your sure?" David asked. It was very touchy subject for him and his brother when it came to that virus that robbed them early of their parents when they were very young. David was 4 and Sean was 1 at the time when they died.
"He admitted to every major criminal in Gotham. Ivy might be the only one not on board though since the Virus also effects plant life." Batman said.
"I see. I'll get who I can." David said ending his transmission.
"Ugh." Robin said waking up.
"You ok?" Batgirl asked in concern.
"Yeah. How'd I get back here?" Robin asked.
"Zsasz knocked you out. Thought he would finish you off but something spooked him." Nightwing said.
"Something?" Robin asked.
"We'll worry about that later. Right now we need to stop Joker. I get the feeling he's just using everyone else as muscle. He'll release the virus even if it kills him." Batman said.
"Why? Theres nothing to be gained by killing everyone in Gotham." Nightwing said.
"He doesn't need a reason. He just likes to kill." Batman said.
Later
Everyone was gathered at the docks once more. However this time Ivy was held against her will.
"Joker don't do this!" Ivy yelled.
"Oh but I want too though." Joker said.
"By the way. Where did you get the chemicals to make this virus." Black Mask asked.
"From me."
Everyone turned and saw none other than Ra Al Ghul walk to them out of the shadows with his League of Assassin members Minus his daughters.
"The demon. I guess that makes sense You've been trying to kill everyone in Gotham for years." Penguin said.
"For good reason. Once everyone is dead the city will begin anew. Crime will be down and everyone will start over. Ending the poison thats consuming this city." Ra said.
"I don't think so." Batman said jumping down with his group.
"Ah Detective. You don't truly believe only four of you can stop all of us." Ra said before Ivy got free and jumped over to them.
"Make that five." Ivy said before Supergirl, Wonder Woman, Flash, David and Sean arrived.
"10." David said.
"Ah the children of the legendary Titans. I could use you in my plans." Ra said before Sean's back started to glow before shooting a stream of atomic breath at him but he dodged.
"GO TO HELL!" Sean yelled before everyone started fighting.
Sean was up against Killer Croc who tried to bite him but Sean having greater strength took him on perfectly fine before kicking him into a crate knocking out.
"Now I see why Julia hates Crocs." Sean said.
Batman was going up against Ra in hand to hand combat.
"Come now Detective. Join me. And we can bring order to this world." Ra said.
"Like I always tell you. NO!" Batman said kicking him back.
Batgirl was fighting against Bane and lossing badly before he grabbed her.
"I once Broke the Bat. This time I'll break you!" Bane yelled before slamming her back on his knee making her scream in agony making Supergirl gasp before dashing in and punched him away.
"Barbara." Supergirl said in concern.
"I...I can't feel my legs." Batgirl whimpered out making Bane laugh making her growl.
Robin once again fought against Zsasz before he pinned him to a wall.
"This time...I'll finish what I started." Zsasz said about to kill him.
(Insert the very original Batman Theme song. Go to youtube and look for a youtuber called SmallvilleSW and look up the video called Old Batman TV show Theme song)
Suddenly the ground began to shake before a loud screeching sound was heard making everyone look and saw the water bubbling before something flew out and appeared in front of the moon.
"What the?" Flash said in shock which gave Joker a chance to mix the chemicals into a machine before releasing it into the air. Joker immediately started laughing.
"GOTHAM IS ABOUT TO DIE AND ALL OF US WITH IT!" Joker yelled before whatever was in the sky started to descend down to them.
"Holy crap!" Robin said.
"A BAT!" Harley yelled as a giant Bat flew above them and screeched into the air. (The Giant Bat from Godzilla the Series)
This Bat looked around before seeing the Virus moving to the city before it started to fly around the area in a circle sending the gas upwards and in the process destroyed it with its radiation.
"This must be the Titan Monarch was monitoring." Batman said before the gas was completely gone.
"NOOO!" Joker yelled in rage before he and the other Villians including Ra tried to escape before the Bat landed in front of them.
"Uh oh." Riddler said gulping as it growled at them before releasing a loud ultrasonic wave at them which made Joker hold his head.
"AHHHHH!" Joker yelled before his ears started to bleed before he fell down...Dead.
"Pudding!" Harley cried out about to Rush in but Ivy restrained her.
"Don't even think about it Harley." Ivy said making her whimper.
The other villains looked at this monster in shock before it did the same to Ra, Penguin, Zsasz, Black Mask, Killer Croc, Mad Hatter, Riddler, Scarecrow and Bane.
"AHHHHH!" The villains yelled before they too fell down dead.
"Oh boy." Two-Face said as he, Mr. Freeze and Clayface remained before it looked at them and did the same but unlike before it wasn't actually hurting them. On the contrary it was...Healing them. The Clay around Clayface was blown away before Hagen remaing. Two-Face's face slowly began to heal before both sides of his face looked the same. Mr. Freeze started to groan before getting out of his suit no longer feeling any discomfort to the warm air.
(End Song)
"What?" Batman said in shock.
"I...I feel...I feel like my old self." Harvey Dent said holding his face.
"My body. It's not made of clay anymore." Hagen said.
"The warm air...I had almost forgotten." Victor Fries said in joy.
"ARGH!" Batgirl yelled in pain.
"Hold on." Wonder Woman said before the Giant Bat slowly approached them before getting closer to Batgirl before she felt her pain leave her body. Everyone could hear the sounds of bones snapping.
"Whats it doing?" Robin asked before Barbara opened her eyes and impossibly actually moved her legs.
"Whoa." Nightwing said surprised before the Police finally arrived.
Commissioner Gordan and Detective Bullock stepped out.
"What the?" Bullock said seeing the dead bodies. "Oh thats it. I knew it would only be a matter of time till Batman snapped. I'm taking him in." Bullock said grabbing some cuffs.
"We didn't do this. That did." Nightwing said pointing at the giant bat who growled at Bullock.
"Yeah right. I'm taking him in so move aside." Bullock said before the Bat got in front of him and roared so loud that it shredded some of his Bullocks Clothes leaving him in his pink hearted boxers.
Sean and David snickered at this before both brothers fell down in laughter.
"You are such a loser!" Sean yelled while pounding the ground.
"Bullock. Get in the car I think you've embarrassed yourself enough today." Gordon said making him growl before doing so.
"I always hated that asshole." David said making Sean chuckle.
A week later
"Come again?" Flash asked.
"Crime is down in Gotham by 95%. Ever since this Titan showed up that the public call King-Bat. Pollution is gone, The insane in Arkham have been cured of their insanity. Its as if this Titan has changed Gotham and all for the better." Batman said.
"We did say this Titans have remarkable gifts." Sean said.
"The Radiation around them can not only heal the environment but can also effect people in a positive way." David said.
"Like curing them from insanity. But why didn't it do the same to Joker and those King-Bat Killed?" Superman asked.
"Like we said these Titans can sense intentions. Even if Joker was cured he would still be himself along with the others. They weren't insane they were perfectly fine and just loved killing innocent people." Sean said.
"And we should just let them kill any like them?" Lantern asked.
"Its not our place to judge their actions when it has positive results." Superman said.
"Agreed. Besides now that Gotham is changing drastically from just one Titan showing up we can focus our search on locating the other Titans." Batman said.
"What level is King-Bat anyway?" Lantern asked.
"He's an Alpha level Titan. There are three levels of Titans. Apex, Alpha and normal Titans. Apex Titans rule the rest with Godzilla on the very top for good reason. Alpha Level Titans are superior to normal Titans." Sean said.
"Why?" Flash asked.
"Normal Titans don't have any special abilities but Alpha Level Titans do." David said.
"Like that Ultrasonic wave King-Bat used to kill Joker and the others." Batman said.
"Yes, Each Alpha Level Titan has unique and special abilities." Sean said.
Later
"A giant Bat? Are you kidding me?" Cisco asked Barry.
"Nope. When I first saw it I was just as shocked. I guess it makes sense really. Gotham has Batman so it only makes sense for it to have Bat like Titan." Barry said.
"Thats not fair. Our Titan should have woken up first." Cisco said making the others laugh.
"Cisco, I told you it will wake up when its ready." Wells said.
"I wonder which one will wake up next?" Iris said.
"Only time will tell." Wells said.
Meanwhile
"Finally its ready." Lex said looking at his latest creation. Inside a liquid tube was a small monster. "This will convince the public these Titans are a threat." Lex said grinning.
"Lex you're not seriously going to use this on Metropolis are you?" Mercy asked concerned.
"What? No." Lex said. "Why would I risk letting it loose in my city that will cost me millions...No...I plan to unleash it in New York." Lex said.
