Joker's Game
After the students are evacuated out of the arena, the police are escorting them home after Aizawa and Kan gave them an explanation of what happened since the Hero Provisional Exam has turned into a massacre thanks to the Joker, Partyman, Prank, Punchline, and the Royal Flush Gang. However, they lost many numbers of students by trying to escape and fallen into one of his traps or being dealt by one of the members of the Royal Flush Gang. Ms. Joke was in deep shock with horror after what she has just witnessed, and the screams of the students have echoed on her mind, never thought that a villain would kill so many students which happens to be the Clown Prince of Crimes and never knew about him. Aizawa glanced at her, couldn't blame her for what she just saw, causing him to sigh as he goes to her and try to comfort her. Lois is giving them updates.
"With the Joker at large, the arena has been turning into a massacre. We lost many of the students, and there are over hundreds of students safely evacuated by the hands of Batman and his team." Lois said, holding a microphone while Jimmy holds the camera as Vlad King approaches next to her. "Vlad King, what are your thoughts?"
"The only thought I have is the Joker is nothing but a menace and a psychotic criminal who enjoys killing civilians for his twisted joke." Vlad King snarls with a scowl. "Let's hope the Batman and his team get that clown before he goes out for his killing spree."
She then turns to Aizawa, who tries to comfort Ms. Joke.
"While I agree with Vlad, Joker not only killed the students in different schools, but he also took the Commissioner right before we got out." Aizawa adds. "With the students in panic and escorting home, I'm afraid the exam is going to be on hold until further notice."
"And there you have it; the students aren't safe until the Joker and his own group are apprehended. I'm Lois Lane, on scene." Lois said.
"And we're out." Jimmy said, turning off the camera and walks away while heading to the van, putting the camera away. "Couldn't believe the Joker is back."
"More like he's back from the dead since the Venom poisoned his body and lead him dying." Lois points out, sighs. "As if we didn't get enough scumbags."
"I guess Ethan has a lot of work cut out for him, after learning of Bruce's old enemies in Gotham City." Vlad King said, approaching behind them. "Then again, same can be said about his team, and us. Despite being a Pro Hero, we still know nothing about new enemies we've encountered."
"Yeah, but what I want to know is who brought that psychopath and why." Aizawa pointed out with a glare. "Better yet why taking the Commissioner?"
"It's the Joker we're talking about. He takes someone hostage and putting them somewhere that leads Batman into a death trap." Lois told him. "It may be simple, but it's not. Like any other criminals I remember, they never made it easy."
Aizawa and Vlad King agrees with her since they remembered the League of Villains and other criminals they've encountered, not to mention Bruce's old enemies he fought back in Gotham City. Though, the criminals never made it easy for them from the start since All For One became the founder of League of Villains and the group of heroes: Superman, Batman, Green Lantern, Flash, Wonder Woman, Hawkgirl, and Martian Manhunter became founders of the Justice League, and before the Pro Heroes have ever started.
The students from U.A. High overheard the conversation from Aizawa, Kan, and Lois, which got them worried about Bakugo's well-being. They were aware of how Bakugo can be, but with the Joker around, it made them scared if the Batman and his team won't save him or Barbara Gordon.
While back at the arena, the Bat Family and the Superman Family were staring at the Joker, Partyman, Prank, and the Royal Flush Gang, who are ready for a fight against them while the time bomb is setting for 30 minutes to explode along with Barbara Gordon, who looked at them with worry, mostly looking at Ethan, Emily, and James.
Ever since Bruce Wayne took Ethan in since his parents died by some petty thug, Barbara helped him train him, Emily, and James in martial arts, gadgets, and tactics to become the next Bat Family and about the criminals they met in Gotham City, like Scarecrow, Riddler, Joker, and more. They even homeschooled them before Emily and James started high school. She even considered Ethan as the second son to her since she helps Bruce take care of him.
Now, with them face the Joker and his gang, she felt worried of what would happen to them.
"So, either we have an agreement, or the bomb goes 'KA-BOOM' along with dear old Commissioner." Joker said with a sinister smirk, about to press the button from the device. "Tick-tock!"
With them in a dilemma, the Bat Family and the Superman Family can tell the Joker isn't playing around and he'll seriously kill the Commissioner without any remorse whatsoever. Red X overheard from the outside of the arena while in stealth mode thanks to his upgrade with his utility belt. He decided to use his communicator, in silent mode.
"Batman, you have to do what he said. I'll get up there and try to disarm the bomb while you guys' stall in order to give me time." Red X suggested which Batman widen his eyes in shock but knows that his brother has a plan. "It's risky, but someone has to do it."
Batman didn't like the idea because the Joker will notice, and he'll kill his brother and the Commissioner, but with no other options, he has no choice as he turns to his team and nodded.
"Alright, we'll fight them, including you Joker." Batman answered, looking at the Clown Prince of Crimes, who laughs.
(Dead or Alive-by The Rampage from Exile Tribe vs Ballistik Boyz)
"Then...LET THE GAMES BEGIN!" The Joker said as he presses the button, causing the time bomb to countdown with a sinister laugh.
With that, Joker, Partyman, Prank, Punchline, and the Royal Flush Gang charges after them while the Bat Family and the Superman Family did the same. Superman (Clark) makes the first move by delivering a punch at Ace to the jaw, Batgirl brings her tonfas and clashing against Queen, Nightwing went after King, Red Robin clashes against Jack, Superman (Jonathan) went after Partyman, Catwoman goes after Punchline, Red Hood punches Prank in the face, and Batman and Robin clashed against the Joker.
Barbara watches the fight, but heard the footsteps as she turns and noticed Red X revealed himself.
"Shh, I'll get you out." Red X said in a hushed tone, about to cut the wires when Ten revealed herself from the shadows with a smirk on her face.
"Behind you!" Barbara shouts with a warning.
Red X turned his head and noticed Ten punched him in the face, making him stumble a bit.
"Thought I didn't notice you're hiding from me, did you?" Ten said.
'Shit! I forgot she can teleport! Looks like I've got work cut out for me.' Red X mentally cursed himself, readied his fighting stance as she began clashing against him.
Batman slightly glances over, noticed his brother is fighting against Ten which he knows that the plan didn't work. He quickly glances back at the Joker, who delivers a jab which made him block it.
"You didn't think I notice what your little skull friend is planning. Well, Ten here not only can teleport, but she can also hear the metallic sound coming from his utility belt." Joker told him with a smirk. "Her power is called Technopathy, a power that not only control machinery, but she can also communicate with them and make her own nifty gadgets such as her suit that can teleport."
That got Batman shocked of Ten's powers, which it would explain how she can teleport.
"Then that means, she made other gadgets for the team!?" Batgirl exclaims, blocking the axe.
"No, just her and Pinocchio, of course she did! She only weapons to help their powers, but most of the suit she made is her own." Joker answered with a chuckle. "I was told about it, and just to make sure you follow the fight by the letter! No cheating~!"
"Bastard!" Red Robin cursed him while blocking the thrust from Jack. "You knew what we're planning!"
"That's to be expecting! It's the Joker!" Nightwing shouts, blocks the sword with his escrima sticks. "He's unpredictable!"
"And don't you ever forget that Blunder Boy!" Joker said with a laugh, but earned a kick in the family jewels from Robin which got him squeal in pain while Batman punched him in the face. "OW! My eye!"
Then, an eyeball popped out and fell into the ground which the gas leaks out.
"Sucker!" Joker shouts with a smirk as he sprints away, causing Batman and Robin to run and jump away before the eyeball explodes. Joker then pulls his Tommy Gun. "Let's get wild!"
The Joker then fires his weapon, causing the Bat Family, Partyman, Prank, Punchline, and the Royal Flush Gang to make a run for it, but the two Kryptonian weren't fazed of at all because the bullets didn't make a dent. Both Clark and Jonathan aren't amused as the adult Superman fired his heat vision at the Joker's gun, melting it and forced him to disarm it.
"That's my favorite gun!" The Joker complains but earned a two-punch combo from the Dark Crusader.
While the fight at the arena continues, Red X and Ten are still clashing against each other, throwing punches and kicks while blocking each other. They kept exchanging each other's blows, but only for Ten to block the attack. Red X decided to try something as he delivers a jab to her neck, knocking the wind out of her and he followed by delivering roundhouse kick, causing her to stumble back. He then heads for the bomb, but Ten tackled him down to the ground and locked him into a rear naked choke while wrapping his waist with her legs.
Red X grunts while tried to grab hold of his knife from his belt, but Ten kept holding him. He then delivers an elbow to the side as hard as he can, making her groan in pain as he then elbowed her again. It got her letting go of him with a grunt in pain, but she's about to use a chokehold again, earned a kick to the knee by Red X and he then delivers a kick to the face, knocking her down.
Red X ran towards the bomb, pulling out the wire cutter and about to cut one of the wires when Ten presses her hand against the wall, constructing into a mechanical arm and delivers a punch to him which sent him flying and crashed against the wall.
"Technopathy, should've know..." Red X groans, mentally cursed himself while Ten slowly walks to him.
"It'll take more than that to take me down, Red." Ten said. "And we'll be here until the bomb blows us up."
Barbara didn't like the idea of getting killed by the hands of Joker and his twisted game, but she's hoping that Red X beats Ten, who's raising her metallic hand. Red X got the opportunity by throwing a taser disk and electrocute Ten, who screams in pain as she collapses down to the floor while the mechanical arm falls apart. He then starts running to the bomb and try to disarm it with his wire cutter, but noticed it's counting down to 19 minutes.
"You sure took your time." Barbara said sarcastically.
"Hey, cut me some slack! I was waiting for her to let her guard down!" Red X remarked, causing the Commissioner to roll her eyes while he works on disarming the bomb.
Meanwhile back at the arena, the Bat Family and the Superman Family continued fighting against the Joker, Prank, Partyman, Punchline, and the Royal Flush Gang.
Superman (Clark) got punched by Ace in the stomach, but retaliates by punching him in the face, followed by a punch combo between the sternum and the face. Ace stumbled a bit but caught the fist and counters by punching the Kryptonian in the face.
"You should've stay down, fool! I got the edge for the team, and I'm taking you down!" Ace said with a smirk, punching Superman (Clark) in the face twice, but the Kryptonian caught his fist.
"Just give it up, kid. You don't stand a chance." Superman (Clark) told him, punched him in the face.
"I don't need to beat you, I just have to slow you down until the bomb blows." Ace retorted, about to deliver a punch.
"Hold that thought." Superman (Clark) said as he quickly uppercuts him in the chin, sent him flying in the air while use his super speed to grab hold of the metal scrap from the industry area. Ace is then falling down as Superman (Clark) caught him, then wraps the metallic scrap around him and melts it to make sure he didn't get loose. "Now, where we're we?"
He then knocks Ace down with a punch and knocking him down. Superman (Clark) turned his head and saw Red X finally disarming the bomb while having Barbara out of the building, which it got him notice Ten about to attack them. He then flies after her while helping Red X.
Punchline delivers a flurry of slashes, which Catwoman was able to dodge them easily while jumps back in the air and land on the ground. She then pulls out her whip and cracks it against her, knocking the daggers out of Punchlines hands. Punchline scowls at that, charging after Catwoman while she does the same.
Catwoman blocked a punch from Punchline before countering by using keylock and delivering a single leg sweep takedown. Punchline uses kip-up as she glares at Catwoman while pulling out a dagger from her leg, about to deliver a slash when she blocks and use an outside wristlock technique to force her to disarm her weapon. Catwoman then delivers a heel kick to the knee, followed by a knee to the face. Punchline stumbles with a grunt, but she tackles her down to the ground and then grab hold of the dagger and stabs her right in the shoulder, causing Catwoman to grunt in pain. Punchline is about to stab again, and Catwoman grabs her by the arm and swipes her with her claws. Punchline grunts in pain as Catwoman follow up her counterattack with a headbutt in a nose, causing it to bleed and getting her off of Catwoman. After that, she delivers a Meia-lua de compresso dulpa, knocking her to the ground.
"You bitch!" Punchline snarls angrily as she stands up and try to charge after her.
Catwoman then uses her legs, delivering a head scissors as she takes Punchline down to the ground and finished her by meia-lua de compresso to the face.
"This bitch has claws." Catwoman remarked with a smirk.
Red Hood fires his twin pistols, which Prank was able to dodge the bullets with ease while chuckled.
"Come on, even the first Robin aims better." Prank taunts with a smirk as he throws miniature balls at Red Hood, who duck and rolls before it explodes. "I thought you'd be angry and going after Nightwing, Red-Head!"
"Your jokes are lame, and I know better than fall for some cheap trick." Red Robin scoffs, throwing smoke grenade at him as smoke appeared with an explosion.
Prank coughs while stumble a bit but recovers and tried find Red Hood which it's hard because of smoke. It got him scream in pain when Red Hood tased him with the taser, followed by knocking him out with the crowbar.
"Should've picked a better fighter instead of some cheap ass amateur." Red Robin said with a mutter, walks away.
Batgirl is on defense by dodging and blocking the battle axe with her tonfas while Queen is on offense, which it's mostly because of her brute strength and her power to harden herself with metal thanks to her ferrokinesis. During the fight, Batgirl is having a hard time on making a dent out of Queen.
"Give up! You won't win!" Queen said with a mocking smirk.
"And have my head chopped off, fat chance!" Batgirl retorted as she dodged the swing of her axe which Queen begins to let out a war cry, about to swing her axe again when Superman (Clark) punches her in the jaw and sent her flying against the ground.
"Superman?" Batgirl said surprisingly.
"I thought you need a hand." Superman (Clark) told her with a smirk.
"Yeah, thanks." Batgirl replied with a nod but felt worried.
"The Commissioner is safely out of the arena." Superman (Clark) informed her, earned her attention. "Red X had a bit of a problem with Ten and taking care of the bomb along the way."
Batgirl was glad that her mother got out safely thanks to Red X disarming a bomb and getting her out of the arena, but he did run into some trouble with Ten since she made very difficult for him to fight.
Nightwing and King are clashing each other with their weapons. They were exchanging each other's blows while blocking, but King's flaming sword made it hard for him. But Nightwing isn't backing down easily and he has tricks under his sleeve, blocking the sword as he reels King close and delivering a high knee to the face. King stumbles back a bit while Nightwing delivers a roundhouse kick, followed by a handstand kicking combo to the face and a snap kick to the stomach. King stumbled with a grunt, spitting blood out of his mouth as he charges after Nightwing and about the swing his sword horizontally, which he blocks it and counter by striking him between the rib and the side of his neck. After that, Nightwing delivers a combo between a kick to the sternum and a spinning heel kick to the face.
King is starting to get enraged as he uses his flames, slashing his sword to the ground and conjuring a flame slash projectile. Nightwing jumps away while throwing one of his escrima stick at King, tased him and it got him grunt in pain. It didn't give him a moment to recover as Nightwing charges after King, leaps in the air and deliver a smack in the head with his escrima stick while using an iron broom sweep, knocking him down to the ground.
"Man, this guy sure give me a run for the money." Nightwing states, glances over at Batman and Robin teaming up against the Joker, which got him noticed that they're having trouble with him. "Better go and help him."
Superman (Jonathan) is having a hard time delivering punches to Partyman, who evades by using the dancing techniques while using full split. Partyman even dances while taunting him with a smirk on his face. Unamused, Superman (Jonathan) decided to end this fight quickly by using his lungs to exhale and let out a gust of air, blowing Partyman away and sending him flying out of the arena.
Batman and Robin are still fighting against the Joker, which he can hold them off on his own despite his lanky appearance. Joker blocks the punch from Batman, but Robin kicks him in the jaw while the Dark Knight delivers a two-punch combo between the stomach and in the face. Joker grunts while stumbled back a bit.
"Not bad, but I'll just blow your dear old Commissioner up anyway." Joker said with a sinister smirk as he presses the button, but nothing happen. "What?! What's going on?! How-?!"
"Red X disarm the bomb and save the Commissioner." The voice of Superman (Clark) told him, earned his attention when he and his team surrounded him. "Give up, Joker, you and your team lost."
Joker throws the device to the ground, while throwing a tantrum which made the Bat Family and the Superman Family looks at him with unamused and deadpan look on their face.
"Is it always like this?" Batgirl questions.
"More or less." Nightwing answered, whispering into her ear.
"Not fair! That's just so not fair! I never get to make the punchline, just like the time in Gotham City!" The Joker yelled in frustration, but groans. "Well, no matter, I still have another trick in my sleeve..."
With the Joker letting out a smirk, he pulls out a bomb that's the size of a baseball which made them widen their eyes in dread. He then slams the bomb, explodes with smoke and confetti. But just as the smoke and the confetti cleared, the Joker somehow disappeared along with Punchline, Prank, Partyman which Ten somehow got him teleported, and the Royal Flush Gang. They then heard a laugh, causing them to turn and saw the Joker and his group at the top of the building.
"You may have spoiled my fun on getting those kiddies to laugh while killing them, but I have some plans to organize. I've got plans in store for you, Batman. You'll see." The Joker said as he lets out a maniacal laugh as Ten teleported them out of the building.
Red Hood, Nightwing, and Superman (Clark) knows what the Joker is planning since they know of his past actions in Gotham City, but the rest of the Bat Family and Superman (Jonathan) doesn't while aware of his reputation and his crimes that can make any civilians feared.
After Red X got the Commissioner out of the arena safely, they turned and saw the Bat Family and the Superman Family approaching outside of the area with a serious look on their faces. The Oguro Family and Red X can tell that something is wrong, and paramedics are taking Bakugo to the hospital.
"Well?" Knuckleduster inquires.
"Joker and his gang got away." Batman answered. "While we were about to arrest them, he pulled a trick to escape."
Aizawa and Kan weren't exactly pleased about the Joker and his group got away, but the only thing that matters is the students made it safely before the Joker Bombs explodes and the gas spreading to get them to laugh. Though, it didn't surprise them that the Joker had something planned and had them on a run for the money with the Royal Flush Gang, Partyman, Punchline, and Prank when it comes to fighting. However, the rest of the students are terrified when they overheard of the Joker, and his gang got away and it got them thinking that they'll be targeted by the psychotic clown.
"We need to get to the Watchtower and inform what happened." Superman (Clark) suggested seriously.
"That's fine, but we need to have our students back to their dorms safely until further notice." Aizawa told him. "We'll just have to put the exam on hold until this mess is cleaned up and give the students a proper burial. We're losing a lot of numbers here."
Superman (Clark) nods with an understanding since the students and the staff members in different academies are going to need time to mourn for their deaths of their friends. They decided to help them by cleaning up the mess while getting the dead students out and placing them in the body bags for the burial, which they'll have to inform their parents about what happened, and knowing that they're not going to be happy about this. Batman, however, is thinking about what plans the Joker is talking about and he knows that he and his team are meeting him again in the future.
At Gotham City, the Joker is at the top of the building while looking around the area since he remembered his time as a failed comedian, a mobster, and a small-time criminal as Red Hood, but the chemicals changed his personality and his moniker into who he is. He even remembered his time killing many civilians by guns to knives to his gadgets to his Joker Venom, robbing banks, turning Harleen Quinzel into Harley Quinn with his cunning and manipulation tactic, and fighting against Batman and his team which he crippled Barbara Gordon by shooting her, which she manages to get back on her feet thanks to the implants, killed Dick Grayson, Jason Todd, Tim Drake, and Damian Wayne, but was killed by the hands of Bruce Wayne which forced him to retire of his crime-fighting when he broke the 'no kill' code.
Now with the Joker back from the dead, he's now having plans for the new Batman and his team since he's going to continue his work.
"Oh, I remember the good old days in Gotham City, and nothing has changed since the day I died by the old Batman." The Joker said with a sinister. "But now that I'm back, I get to finish what I started! Starting with killing the new Batman! Isn't that right, Damian? Tiny Tim? Brucey?"
He turns as the two shadow assailants revealed themselves from the shadows, who happens to be Tim Drake, Damian Wayne, and Bruce Wayne in the Joker attire. They only remained silent with a smirk on their faces as the Joker began to let out a sinister laugh.
That's it for the 61st chapter.
