This is the 60th chapter. I don't own the series of My Hero Academia or the series of Justice League.
BrianShooter672: 1) I wouldn't be surprised about that, considering someone is dumb enough to bring back the Joker. 2) I don't read that in manga, but only bits and pieces. Though, I can't promise you about the better ending of my story.
Hero Provisional Exam to Madness
After learning of the Joker being brought back from the dead, the Bat Family, Oguro Family, Red X, and Superman Family grab their gear and splitting up to look for the Joker Bombs and the Joker. Aizawa went on ahead to warn the civilians and have them evacuated out of the arena, including Ms. Joke, which it annoys him of her antics and doesn't want to deal with her. The students from different schools are starting to panic after the Joker informing them about the exam being rigged with Joker Bombs filled with Joker Venom, but once the time is up before, they would get to them, the bomb explodes, and the gas will spread to make the students, and the civilians laugh until they suffocate and die.
Apparently, the exams they're in turns into madness.
"Now, I think we should get this building down...Let's see, where did I-Ah here it is." The Joker said, pressing the button.
Suddenly, the room started shaking, the students looked up to see the roof beginning to split open. For the moment, the walls fell, and the arena opened to the students. Revealing to them a vast array of environments between forests, buildings, mountains, bridges, and even the sea area.
"Hmm, not bad, but I prefer Gotham City filled with laughs anyway." The Joker said with a shrug but laughs a little. "Now, each of the areas and anywhere in this arena has the Joker Bombs inside but be careful...because everything around this area is so deadly, it's a death trap for every one of you! So, hurry, the clocks ticking! And have fun! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
Once the broadcast has reached to an end with a sinister laugh, the students from different schools began to split up in a desperate pace to try and find the bombs. The U.A. High students are watching them panicking and run to find the bombs in a different area, but unfortunately, one of the students got sprayed in acid and the other student got electrocuted, which causing them scream in pain while the other students were watching in horror and got caught into one of his death traps.
"Whoops...I forgot to mention I've also rigged this place in traps. And I also mentioned this place is a death trap." The Joker announces which it got their attention as he laughs.
"Hey! You said you had Joker Bombs around the arena! That's not fair!" Tenya yelled angrily.
"Well, if you know, I NEVER PLAYED FAIR IN THE FIRST PLACE!" The Joker sneered, then laughs again. "And that's the whole point, I'm the Clown Prince of Crimes! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
"You're insane!" Ejiro shouts.
"Oh, thank you, I do my best." The Joker said. "But! You've only got, hmm, I'd say...Let me find my pocket watch...Where is that-Ah, here it is! About 26 minutes! Hurry now!"
"We're not gonna play your sick game, you damn clown extra!?" Bakugo snapped angrily.
"You don't have a choice, my hot-headed Pomeranian friend." The Joker told him.
"WHAT DID YOU CALL ME?! I'LL KICK YOUR ASS WHEN I FIND YOU!" Bakugo yelled, as he walked out. "You idiots find those damn bombs, I'm gonna look for that clown extra!"
"Wait, you idiot!" Ejiro said, follows him and turns to them. "I'll go with him and keep an eye on Bakugo, you guys find the bombs!"
And with that, Ejiro catches up to Bakugo, making sure he doesn't do anything stupid which he's going to anyway. Shoto decided to split as well.
"I'm going on my own, too." Shoto told them. "It's hard for me to use my power safely in a large group. And we need to help the students and preventing them getting killed while we're at it. Our main priority is getting the students out and find the bombs."
"But what-"
"We're not officially members of the Justice League, but it's still our job as heroes." Shoto cuts Izuku off as he walks away. "Anyway, form a group and help them. I'll do the same."
And with that, Shoto went on ahead to help the students as Izuku turns to them with a determined look on his face.
"You heard him! Spread out and help them!" Izuku ordered which left them shocked. "Now, we gotta help them and find those Joker Bombs before the area explodes with gas!"
"But what about Batman and the others?" Mineta asks with panic. "Shouldn't we wait for them?!"
"There's no time! We gotta find the bombs and get those guys out!" Itsuka points out. "We'll split up and get them to help us find the bombs. It'll give them a chance to get their pants on."
"Right." Izuku nods in respond, then turns to them. "Alright, let's go!"
They nodded as they split up to help the students from getting killed, which the number of the students are slowly dying at this rate. The Joker watches from the control room, amused of their reaction and getting killed.
"Oh, this is going to be fun. But sadly, I've got other plans for the new Batman." The Joker said with a smirk, looks at his pocket watch. "23 minutes left and counting down. And it's time for me to leave."
The Joker then left the control room, but not without given them a message as he pulls out his French beret and put it on his head, then pulls out a paint brush and palette. He then starts painting the door in green, writing the message that says, 'JOKER IS HERE' and then paints his signature smile.
"Hohoho, this is a masterpiece." The Joker said in a French accent, kissed his fingertips in satisfaction, then discarding them as he walks away with a laugh.
While outside of the arena, the JMP have arrived along with the JPD surrounding the area after they were informed of a criminal known as the Joker, the notorious and deadly criminal around in Gotham City, and the arch-nemesis of Batman. Barbara couldn't believe the Joker is back from the dead, after so many years of fighting against the Clown Prince of Crimes in Gotham City and lost on walking after shooting her in a lower spine but invents a gadget that could get her back on her feet again. But after what her daughter told her, she's in deep shock.
"Surround the area! We can't let the Joker get out of this building!" Barbara ordered as she pulls out her gun while her units complied the order.
Kenji and Naomasa arrived while their units started surrounding the area as they approached the Commissioner.
"So, want to tell us what we're dealing with?" Kenji asks.
"What we're dealing is the Joker. He's the homicidal maniac in Gotham City." Barbara explains with a glare. "For what he did long ago isn't even funny."
"And from the looks of it, he had the students trapped here." Kenji nods in agreement. "Even if we try, the Joker had something for us inside of the arena. Woof!"
"All we can do now is wait, hoping for Batman and the League find those bombs." Barbara said.
"And what about the students?" Naomasa inquires. "They don't know about the Joker, or what he's capable of."
"Maybe not, but all we can do is hope for the students to make it back alive." Barbara told him. "Knowing the Joker, he got tricks under his sleeves."
While inside of the arena, the Bat Family, Red X, Oguro Family, and Superman Family are still looking for the Joker Bombs and the Joker while the students of U.A. tried to convince the other students from the different academies to work together and have them evacuated without getting killed. Aizawa even tried to get the civilians evacuated and out of the building with a little help from Ms. Joke after convincing her, which it still annoys him. He then went on ahead to look for the bombs around the hallway, which he heard a beeping sound as he went inside and found the bomb, counting down.
"I found the bomb, I'll go ahead and disarm it." Aizawa said with the communicator, slowly walking close to the bomb as he opens it which shows more than one wire with different color and a red metal collar. "You've got to be kidding me!"
"You're expecting anything less from the Joker?" Superman (Clark) questions with sarcasm.
"No, but he's a twisted psycho." Aizawa remarked, bringing out the cutters. "I'll try and-UGH!"
But Aizawa got punched and crashed into the wall, grunts as he sat himself up and narrowed his eyes. He then saw a criminal who happens to be one of the members of the Royal Flush Gang...Ace."
Ace is a towering muscular, brown-skinned man who's bald and brown eyes. He wore a full white suit with the black domino mask on his eyes and the black Ace of Spade at the center of his chest.
"You really think it'll be easy?" Ace asks with a smirk on his face, making Aizawa widen his eyes as he quickly brings out his communicator.
"I'm gonna need some backup." Aizawa said.
"What's the problem?" Nightwing asks.
"Some big guy in the Ace of Spade sucker punched me, preventing me for disarming a bomb." Aizawa explains while avoiding the punches from Ace.
"Ace...Oh no! You've encountered one of the Royal Flush Gang, didn't you?" Nightwing asks in shock.
"The what now?" Aizawa questions again, ducks and sweeps Ace in the legs as he tumbles down to the ground.
"The Royal Flush Gang are the aristocratic criminals created by Amos Fortune in Las Vegas, enemies of the Justice League. Mostly Bruce's enemies." Red Hood explains. "Though, the rosters changed constantly because either the older ones retires or imprisoned, leaving the young ones taking up their legacy."
"So basically, the criminals were named after the deck of cards?" Aizawa clarifies while lands on the ground.
"That, and the Joker named it after gathering a group of metahumans." Nightwing points out. "Superman is on his way, just sit tight."
"Not like I have a choice!" Aizawa retorted, blocked the attack and then punches him in the face which made him grunt in pain and holding his hand.
"Nice try but let me show you mine." Ace said as he punches him right in the face, sent him flying through the wall and then on the ground. "See, my powers are durability and strength. I couldn't feel anything coming from your so-called punch, and I can break you like a toothpick."
Aizawa just scowls when Ace is about to deliver a punch again, Superman (Jonathan) punches him and sent him against the wall.
"You okay?" Superman (Jonathan) asks, turning to him.
"Just peachy." Aizawa groans as he stands up, but he and Superman (Jonathan) noticed Ace got up with a grunt. "Think you can take care the big guy?"
Superman (Jonathan) responds with a smirk as he flies toward Ace and the fight between the two begins. Aizawa hurries inside of the room as he begins working on the bomb, which it counts on 20 minutes left. He begins by getting the metal collar out and placed it down to the ground, then brings out the wire cutters as he begins cutting the wires from blue, yellow, black-striped, red, and then black when the timer stops. He sighed, but the timer quickly drops down which made himself shocked as it reaches down to 5, slowly counting down to 4...3..2...1...
KABOOM!
The bomb explodes which Aizawa is lucky made it out of the room, but slowly turns his head and noticed that an inflatable Joker balloon and a confetti flies down to the ground. It got him confused.
"Gotcha!" The voice of Joker said with a laugh. "I forgot to mention that some of the bombs are decoys, just to keep you busy. HAHAHAHAHAHA!"
"Bastard!" Aizawa growled angrily, calling out the League. "We have a problem, the bomb I disarmed is a fake."
And with that, Ace punched Superman (Jonathan) as he then flees which the Kryptonian hybrid is left confused.
"Ace got away." Superman (Jonathan) informed them. "Should I go after him?"
"No, our first priority is finding a real bomb." Batman points out.
"Give me a second." Superman (Clark) said as he starts flying out of the arena and into the sky, using the X-ray vision to look for the bombs. "There we go, found it! No, wait, there's another one...2 more...3...50...There are 50 bombs!"
It got them and the students shocked in disbelief, but the Joker couldn't help but smirk.
"That's right! And this is where we change all the rules! I've planted 50 bombs around in the arena, but add up a little spice filled with traps! So, good luck finding them all!" The Joker announces. "And those will be set to off in 18 minutes!"
"50 bombs?! That's insane!" Denki exclaims in horror.
"Find those bombs and take them out! Be careful around these traps and stay in communication!" Batman said. "Let's move!"
"You heard him, move out and find those bombs!" Itsuka shouts to the students as they quickly try to find those bombs.
Tsuyu dives into the aquatic area to find the bomb, which it was found down to the bottom, but noticing it was a fake.
"The first one is a dud, I'm heading out!" Tsuyu said, swimming out of the water to find the other bombs, much to the Joker's disappointment.
"I was hoping that someone would drown, trying to disarm it. Oh well, say la vie." The Joker said, bored.
But just as Tsuyu merged out of the water, she screams in pain when another of the Royal Flush Gang known as Queen uses her scepter to electrocute her.
Queen is a voluptuous woman with red contacts, white make up on her face and red lips, red hair styled into buns that resembles a heart. Her costume resembles of the Queen of Hearts that has the color of red and black gown with gold trim, hoop and tulle petticoat, velvet jeweled choker, red heels, and sequined heart tiara. She carries a scepter that has the heart and a double-bladed battle axe.
"Foolish girl, you really think I let you out and find those bombs?" Queen asks with a smirk. "Soon once the bombs go off, you'll be nothing but a laughing toad!"
"Ugh, I'm not a toad, I'm a Frog Hero, ribbit..." Tsuyu groans in pain.
Though, Queen doesn't care since she's going to kill her as she places her scepter on her waistline, bringing out her double-bladed battle axe. She then raises her axe, about to behead her when a certain Ghost Hero uses her power to throw a boulder and sent Queen away.
"Are you alright?" Juzo asks, offering his hand.
"Yeah, thanks." Tsuyu replied, accepts his offer as he pulls her up. "Guess they're not making it easy."
"No, but we don't have time for them. We should hurry and find those bombs." Reiko suggested as they quickly ran to find the bombs. "No luck on finding the bombs?"
"None, been looking while try getting them to leave, but we're losing number of students." Juzo answered.
"I found a dummy bomb, but you know the rest." Tsuyu adds.
While students of UA High tried to get the other students to calm down while finding the bomb, the students from Ketsubetsu Academy High found one of the bombs along with Red X, who revealed himself from the shadow.
"You! What are you doing here?!" Yo demands angrily.
Yo's costume consists of a gold-jaw guard that covers his cheeks, a thick green strap over each of his shoulders, attached at the front to two black plates with gold trimmings which cover the sides of his chest, black elbow pads, and green wrist-guards. He also wear black baggy pants with some small green markings and plain black boots with heeled shoes.
"Same as you, looking for the bombs." Red X answered, turns to the bomb. "Guess you guys found it. Look, let me take care of it."
But just as Red X was about to disarm it, a card was thrown which made him back away with a flinch. He turns and saw another member of the Royal Flush Gang...Jack.
Jack is a man with athletic build, black bob hair, black goatee, and red contact lens. He wore a white full bodysuit with a golden circlet, red and gold tunic, red boots with gold trim, and a red diamond at the tiara. He carries two daggers around the red vambraces, throwing cards, and a rapier.
"Red X, fancy seeing you here." Jack said with a smirk. "Thought you're with the assassins."
"Nah, just her errand boy doing her dirty work. But I have no problems of fighting you." Red X remarked. "Though, I don't have time. So, I'm letting them deal with you."
"What?! Why us?" Tatami asks in shock.
Tatami's costume consists of an aquamarine turtleneck bodysuit with a zipper going down the middle, the sleeves cut off halfway down her upper arm. She wears salmon pink gloves, with three small hexagons decorating the cuffs which resemble turtle feet, as well as matching boots that go up past her knees. Around her waist she sports a thin cyan belt, which is joined in the center by a circular pink buckle with a white turtle shell-shaped gem embedded into the middle.
"You wanna get out, right? Then, I suggest you pull your weights and hold him while I disarm him." Red X answered. "But I should warn you, he has powers to make clones of himself and gives his opponent a hard time. Better watch yourselves."
"And why should we listen to you?" A student named Itejiro Toteki questions. "We should let you take him instead of us."
Itejiro is a young man with small, black oval-shaped eyes, a notably small mouth, and a round nose. He has wavy, shoulder-length black hair which is pushed back on his forehead before it comes down to frame his face. His costume consists of a black shirt with elbow-length sleeves, two thin pale gray lines circuling his shoulders and plain black capri pants, a pair of black tights underneath, and black sneakers on his feet. Around his neck, he wears a wide red scarf that covers his chin, and on his hands a pair of thin red wristbands and dark red, fingerless gloves.
"Just shut up and do it. Keep him busy while I take care of the bomb." Red X retorted, pulling out the wire cutter while turning to the bomb as he starts disarming it. "But to give you a heads up, Jack has powers to make clones of himself and he's deadly with his sword and knives."
Jack then smirks, activating his power to duplicate himself while bringing out his rapier.
"I'm so going to enjoy this." Jack said.
The clones of Jack and the students of Ketsubetsu Academy High charges, as the fight begins which the Royal Flush Gang has much experience in combat and his accuracy of his swordsmanship is deadly. Red X was able to disarm it, but narrows his eyes as he quickly grabs his flash pellet, throws it and the light flashed right as the real Jacks eyes. It made him stumble with a grunt, as Red X delivers a punch combo between the liver and the jaw, grunting in pain which Red X isn't giving him a moment to breath as he delivers a side kick to the sternum. Jack stumbles back a bit as he looks at Red X with a glare.
"You really think I'd fall for that cheap trick?" Red X rhetorically asks, readied his fighting stance.
"Well, can't blame me for trying." Jack shrugs as the clones disappeared which make them confused. "You've won this round, but it's only beginning."
Jack then calls out a card scooter as he flies away with a smirk on his face.
"Wait, we let him go?" Yo questions, watching Jack leave.
"For now, but the priority is finding those bombs and get your guys out of here." Red X told them. "We've only got less then 15 minutes to find them all."
"Yeah? Then what? We're joining the students getting out while you guys get all the action. Not a chance." Yo retorted. "We're helping, and we're going with you!"
"No, you're not! The Joker and the Royal Flush Gand aren't your typical villains! You saw what happened to the students getting themselves killed when they panicked!" Red X told him. "You need to get out of here with the others!"
"And what makes you think we're going to listen to you?" Itejiro questions.
"You don't have a choice." Red X points out. "It's either kill or be killed, and the Joker don't hesitate. Now, find the students and get out!"
Yo, Tatsumi, Itejiro, and a male student named Shikkui Makabe didn't like the idea of following orders from him, but with the students getting killed one by one thanks to the traps created by the Joker and everyone panicked. The students from U.A. High were trying to get the other students evacuated and out of the building while try to find the Joker Bombs.
Shikkui's skin is blue, rough, and rock-like, almost as if were a carapace. He has no visible hair, nose, or ears, but has a wide, jagged mouth with a protruding spike sticking upwards on either side of his face, and blue eyes, rimmed with think eyelashes of the same color. His costume consists of a puffed black parka with a high collar that is left open to reveal a thin gold chain that he has around his neck, and a plain white shirt he wears underneath. He also sports baggy, cyan pants and thick, dark blue ski boots with furred shafts.
"If you want to help, help them." Red X suggested as he left, leaving the students decided to do what he says, try to find the students and get them out of the building.
Meanwhile, Denki and Mineta found the bomb at the urban city area, as he opens the lid that has multiple wires.
"Ah, this blows! Would be easy if there's an off-switch on this thing." Denki complains as he's about to move the bomb, but the loud explosion is heard and the confetti flies out, making him and Mineta flinch.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you." The Joker warns with a sinister smirk, revealing himself from the screen. "The bombs got a motion detector. If you try to move it, it'll blow. You have to diffuse it to take it out of play. No cheating~!"
"C'mon! That's not fair!" Mineta whines in teary eyes. "You're just lying to us to scare us!"
"Maybe I am...Try me." The Joker said as transmission ended, which Denki decided to call for help.
"Mr. Aizawa, I've got a problem." Denki said through his communicator.
However, Aizawa and Vlad King were busy fighting against the new Punchline at the area of the hallway which they're having a bit of trouble.
Punchline is a woman with a curvaceous with black hair tied into a ponytail and black eyes. She wore a lavender bodysuit with black leather vest, black fingerless gloves, black leather miniskirt, and black leather boots that reaches up to her knees. She carries two knives.
"I'm a little busy right now!" Aizawa shouts, blocking the knife with his own and punches her in the gut.
"Don't you know it isn't nice to hit a woman?" Punchline asks with a grunt, but earned a punch in a jaw by the Eraser Hero.
"I've dealt worse." Aizawa remarked with his eyes narrow while hearing a bomb ticking down, then talks through the communicator. "Batman, Kaminari and Mineta found the bomb. Think you can them out by talking through disarming it?"
"Okay." Batman replied, who's teaming up with Catwoman fighting against Ten while Robin finished disarming the bomb. "Kaminari, remove the lid."
"Already done it." Denki told him.
"Don't jump ahead! Do exactly as I say!" Batman scolds him.
"But he opened it before the call." Mineta points out but heard a grunt from Batman. "Batman? You okay?"
"Grasp the metal collar! Pull it straight up!" Batman instructs as Denki does that, but the Dark Knight, Catwoman, and Robin watches Ten leaving. "It's magnetized! don't touch the sides or it'll blow up!"
"Done." Denki said, moving the metal collar away.
"Disconnect the following wires in precisely order: Blue, Yellow, Black-Striped, Red, and then Black!" Batman ordered as Denki cuts the wires in order.
"Okay, what's next?" Denki asks.
"You're done! Find another one and be careful!" Batman answered as he, Catwoman, and Robin ran to find the other one.
"We're on it!" Denki replied as he and Mineta ran to find the other bombs.
The Joker, watches the scene with unamused look on his face.
"Spoil sport!" The Joker said, but heard a loud footsteps coming close as Bakugo revealing himself from the shadows with angry look on his face.
"So...You're that clown extra rigged the entire building with bombs." Bakugo snarls.
"'Clown extra'? Moi? I would never dream of it." The Joker said with a mock innocent tone. "Why I just made some additions of my own, to make it extra deadly for your exam."
Bakugo isn't buying it, and knows the Joker is killing the student with death traps.
"But you know something, I was only here on my own to make this school exams a bit of fun with my own set of bombs, add with a pinch of gas. It's a little test to see if the new Batman can pass it, and with everything going right now, it would seem they found most of them. All except...you." The Joker said with a smirk. "Since you're here, I guess I could use an exercise to give you a good whooping."
"Ha! You don't look so tough to me." Bakugo scoffs as he glares at the Joker. "I can take you on without his help."
His hands were sparking explosions and getting into his fighting stance.
"Oh really? Well...Seems I'm gonna have to taught you some manners." The Joker said, getting into his fighting stance. "Come on!"
"DIIIIIIEEEEE!" Bakugo yelled, charging after him with his palm ready to explode, but the Joker pulls out a pie and flings right at his face, making him grunt while tried to get the filling out.
The Joker then punches him right in the stomach, followed by a hammer fist to the back of his head, and knocks him out by delivering a knee to the face. Bakugo is knocked to the ground, but the Joker grabs his head and slams him right into the wall. Bakugo grunts as he stands up, then dash above him in mid-air and launched himself forward at the Joker as he's delivering an explosion.
However, the Joker side steps away from the explosion, pulls out a crowbar, and whacks Bakugo to his face with it, knocking him over to a wall and causing him to grunt in pain.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, only a rank amateur would charge in blindly without any plans." The Joker mocks, motions his finger as Bakugo glares at him. "And what makes you think you can take me on? You couldn't even compare to the Batman or any of the heroes. You're just nothing but a school bully who likes to pick on little children without any second thoughts."
"SHUT UP! YOU'RE GONNA REGRET MESSING WITH ME AND RUINING THE EXAM, YOU CLOWN BASTARD!?" Bakugo shot back.
"Well, can't say I've tried." The Joker said with a sigh, but shoots acid from his flower which causing Bakugo to block, but his grenade gauntlet melts in an instant. "Made you look!"
The Joker then swings his crowbar, whacks him in the side of his face and sent him flying down to the ground. He then slowly walks to him with a sinister smile on his face, but Bakugo gives him the intense glare.
"You know, I would kill you, but I've got a special plan for you. I'll make Batman come to me." The Joker sneered with a laugh as he slowly grabs Bakugo, which made the hot head widen his eyes in fright.
Meanwhile, the students of U.A. High were able to disarm all of the bombs and getting most of the students evacuated while letting the police take care of them. But they noticed one of them is missing which mostly happens to be Bakugo and Eijiro, who ran up to his classmates with a heavy pant in exhaustion.
"Kirishima, what happen?" Izuku questions with a serious look. "Where's Bakugo?"
"He's...capture by the Joker...He got beaten, bad." Eijiro answered which made them shocked as Tenya calls Batman.
"Batman! Mr. Aizawa! Mr. Kan! We have a situation!" Tenya shouts. "The Joker caught Bakugo! And he's held somewhere around this area!"
The Bat Family, Oguro Family, Superman Family, Aizawa, and Kan widen their eyes in shock, which they know full well that Bakugo is reckless because of his bad temper, and he has no idea the Joker is much worse than the other villains. They know the Joker can use his strategy and wits to trick his opponent, using the opportunity to finish him off with any of his deadly arsenals.
"Surprise~! After all of you took care of the bombs...Bravo by the way...I simply add a little something, and I believe I have one of yours." The Joker said, revealed from the monitor as he shows Bakugo which made the students widen their eyes in dread with horror.
Bakugo has been worse for wear, and he's been beaten, battered, and he's a bloody mess. His face is all cover in bruises from his side of his cheeks, a black eye, slash marks from his face and forehead with blood trickling down. His chest had slash marks, his ribs were fractured and bruised bad, his arms had cracked bones and cuts, and the icing on a cake, his legs were slashed, and the blood were dripping down.
"While you're all around the arena searching for the bombs and getting the kiddies out of there, I was having a bit of fun on my own...after I've beaten some manners into him and started beating him up. Well, you see now, he's all beaten up like a stuffed pig!" The Joker said with a laugh. "So, Batman, here's the deal, I want you and your Bat team come on up here in the arena. We can settle this and find out if you can take up the old Batsy's fashionwear...oh, wait, you did, but not that it matters anyway. So, what do you say? Tick Tick~!"
The Joker ends the transmission with a laugh. They all knew that it was a trap, but with Bakugo held hostage, the Bat Family didn't have any other options. Aizawa, Vad King, Delta, and Knuckleduster make their way to the students in order for them to get out of the building. The Bat Family and the Superman Family made it to the arena, but the looked around and saw many of the students were killed by the Jokers traps, some were melted in acid, shot by guns, electrocuted, impaled by spike chasms, and worse.
They slowly make their way to the center and saw the Joker, who's holding Bakugo, the Royal Flush Gang, Punchline, Prank, and Partyman next to him.
King is a middle-aged man with muscular built in his 40s with blond short hair with a beard, mustache, and red eye contacts. He wore a white full bodysuit with a red tunic with gold trims, golden sash, black gloves, and black boots. He wears a golden crown with a heart at the center and carries a longsword.
Ten is a teenage woman with red eye contacts. She wore a white and black full bodysuit with a club symbol on her right arm.
Partyman is a lean man in his 20s with half of his face covered in white face paint, red lips, and green hair dye while his other half is olive skin with brown eyes and brown hair. He wears a suit resembles of a Joker and black shoes.
Prank is a lean man with red short hair and blue eyes. He wore a multi-colored jester suit with bright patterns, funny hat with jingle bells, a red masquerade mask resembled of a Liar, black pointy shoes, and a scepter.
"Well, I did say your team, but not what I had in mind of the Big Blue Buffoons. But oh well, I'll take it." The Joker shrugs with a smirk. "And it looks like the gangs all here, including the first and the second Blunderboys of Wonder. How you've been? Haven't seen any of you when you're sleeping in your grave."
"Shut it, clown!" Red Hood snapped, aiming his pistols at the Joker. "You're the one who killed the students! And I'm here to stop it!"
"Ah, ah, ah! One move and a certain ticking time bomb gets it!" The Joker warns him, points Bakugo with his knife. "I'm the one making demands here! So, what do you say you take them on, and I'll let your hot-headed brat here live!"
"And why should we trust you?" Batgirl questions with a glare. "You think we'll accept just like that?!"
The Joker can only smirk as he pulls out a control, pressing a button to show Barbara Gordon being tied up into a chair with a bomb. Batgirl and Red Robin widen their eyes in dread.
"Mom!?" Batgirl and Red Robin shouts.
"Now that I've got your attention, let's make this interesting." The Joker said as he activates the bomb. "In 30 minutes, the bomb will go off and your dear old mommy will join with the other Batman. But if you make it after taking care of my gang, I'll set it off...Do we got a deal? Remember, tick-tock~! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
The Joker lets out a laugh, which the Bat Family and the Superman Family are in a very huge dilemma thanks to the psycho clown. But with Barbara held hostage and Bakugo left heavily wounded, they now have a choice to make, either they fight them and save Barbara, or the Joker will kill her and Bakugo. And time isn't on their side.
That's it for the 60th chapter.
