Chapter 6 Joker's wilds
It's been a year since the incident involved Ben 10 who had attacked Sean in blind rage for something his people did but not him.
Since then he lost the Omnitrix and was made sure he was FAR away from Sean and his family or next time Sean actually would kill him for what he did last time.
Right now though.
Sean groaned as he woke up with a groan before seeing sunlight outside seeing he was in what was known as Neo Gotham.
"Morning already?"
Sean looked down and sighed seeing a very naked Yoruichi who rubbed the sleep out of her eyes.
"Seriously? I'm only 13 but even I act more adult like than you." Sean said making her giggle.
"Are you saying you don't find me being naked in your bed a turn on?" Yoruichi asked cupping her breasts making him roll his eyes sighing.
"I didn't say that. But I'm still 13 and you're hundreds of years older than me. You do the math." Sean said making her giggle as he was dressed in shorts before walking outside seeing he was in a penthouse.
"Gotta admit Gotham despite its reputation is a good place to live." Yoruichi said standing up holding him from behind making him smile lightly.
Even though she was centuries older than him since she was a soul Reaper the two had always been close.
She was just waiting for him to turn 16 before they could actually have a legal relationship so she settled for mostly teasing him.
Like last year.
Flash back.
"WHAT!" Sean roared at the Senate shocking them. "You cannot be fucking serious." Sean said annoyed.
Basically they were placing him on a program to repopulate his race by having multiple lovers.
"But Lady Yoruichi said you wouldn't mind." Mon Mothma said making him growl in annoyance looking at her as she grinned.
"You are so going to pay for this." Sean said making her giggle.
"Come on Sean it's not a bad idea." Yoruichi said.
"Mmm." Sean groaned making several senators laugh finding this amusing.
"At least give it some time to settle in. We're not expecting anything right now obviously." Mon Mothma said.
"Although." Yoruichi said.
"DON'T...FUCKING...GO THERE!" Sean yelled making her laugh as did many others.
End Flashback
"I still can't fucking believe you pulled that BS." Sean said making her grin.
"Oh come on. Think of this way. You're speeding up the rebirth of your people the right way in the old ways compared to the way Malek wanted." Yoruichi said making him roll his eyes.
"You just wanna sleep with other girls when I'm not around." Sean said making her smirk.
"Guilty. But I also know others like Erza, Revy, Juri and Korra have a thing for you. And rather than have them glare at what I have alone...We can all have you. Besides don't tell me the thought never crossed your mind." Yoruichi said making him sigh.
"Sometimes I miss that former dustball." Sean said making her giggle.
Last year after Ben had almost killed his brother he was sent to his former home planet and annihilated the entire Hutt faction there with only a small handful of Jabba's gang escaping. It was...Anger management in his view. Blowing off steam as Lionel called it since he knew how furious he was at Ben for almost killing his youngest brother even though that was never his intention.
Now it was being terraformed into a lush green world using former Immortal technology that was left behind in the old temple of Adam.
As for him and Gwen the two kept in close contact with each other mostly to help heal her emotional wounds knowing what she was going through.
But she made absolutely sure Ben was never around knowing he would lose it if he ever saw him again.
Later
Sean and Yoruichi were at some unveiling for some new casino.
"There you are." Bruce said walking to them with his Wife Selena. (I keep using Talia so it was time for a change)
"Hey. So what is this new casino anyway?" Sean asked.
"We're not sure but it was said to have cost 300 million." Selena said.
"For one casino?" Sean asked.
"I'm thinking this might be worth it if that much is spent." Yoruichi said before Mr. Kaiser started walking to the stage.
"Allow me to introduce Gotham's newest attraction. Joker's wilds." Kaiser said as a vail came off a head showing the Joker's head shocking Sean and Bruce.
"You have got to be kidding me." Sean said annoyed.
"Um...Ok let's just go." Yoruichi said dragging him away.
"Ok that was disgusting." Sean said annoyed.
"Who would want to make a Casino based on a madman." Yoruichi said making Sean frown looking at it again. "What?" Yoruichi asked.
"Something doesn't feel right." Sean said.
Later
"Seriously no. I refuse to stay in this...Disgusting room...Even if you were older and..." Yoruichi tried to say.
"HEY!" Sean yelled making her pout. "Look I don't like this bullshit either. But something tells me without hesitation Kaiser didn't build this place to make it look like a Joker themed casino. Look." Sean said pulling the wallpaper back showing it to be more knights and magic sort of theme behind them.
"I was thinking the same thing." Bruce said walking in.
"So why build it to match that lunatic and his crazy lover Ecco?" Yoruichi asked.
Ecco was once supposed to be a nurse at Arkham but fell in love with him and became his henchman.
Originally Harley was supposed to work there but Lionel hired her to be Sean's therapist to help him through the Trauma he went through after the battle of Metropolis.
"I think he's trying to lure him here. Something seems off about all this. Why build a casino based on Gothams most ruthless criminal? It's like he's begging him to destroy the place." Selena said.
"Maybe because he is. Let's have a look around his office shall we?" Sean asked getting his gear on.
Later
Beowulf arrived in Keiser's office scanning the room.
"Remind me to thank Lex for sparing no expense for the upgrades his father suggested." Beowulf said as Batman dropped down.
"Have a look around." Batman said as they looked around.
Beowulf frowned as he looked around before finding a folder on the ground showing details of the Joker and his legacy across the galaxy.
"Looks like Keiser broke the Gotham bank for this place." Batman said seeing the bills it took to build this place.
"And yet he has insurance to get it all back." Beowulf said finding the insurance on a data pad. "I think we know what this is about." Beowulf said before both quickly cloaked themselves as security came in but saw nothing before leaving as did they.
"Keiser had more grand plans for this place but nothing was going as planned. So he wants Joker to destroy it to get the insurance money for it." Batman said.
"Why not just sell it off and get it for half price? Hell, Lionel would pay that price and upgrade it." Beowulf said.
"Greed. He wants everything he spent on it it back. Then he'll probably try again with a more competent work force to get what he wanted the first time." Batman said.
"But what makes him think Joker will even want to come here to blow it up?" Beowulf said before his eyes scanned down below and saw said man himself.
"Impulsivness. Joker could never resist." Batman said.
"Well." Beowulf said as his wrist blades came out. "I'll be looking forward to adding his skull to the collection of scum bags I have." Beowulf said.
"Wait...I wanna see how this plays out first." Batman said.
"Huh?" Beowulf asked.
"If we stop Joker now Kaiser will have to replan his next move to get the insurance money. That in turn will cause problems. We need to get him to expose his true intentions. And the best way to do that is to expose himself without realizing it." Batman said.
"Except to a man who he fears will kill him. I got an idea for that." Beowulf said jumping down.
Later
Beowulf looked down at the terrified Kaiser seeing him shake in fear.
Beowulf had managed to confront Joker without him realizing who he was and made him realize he was being set up to do what he was originally gonna do.
Instead he tried to kill Kaiser demanding the truth which he spilled in a heartbeat before both Beowulf and Batman stopped him from killing him.
Now Kaiser was facing charges of what he had done.
As for the Casino though.
"You got that look on your face." Batman said as he had his mask off.
"I think Lionel will probably buy this place and remodel it." Sean said.
"Hmph. To what though?" Batman asked.
"Knowing him something actually good and attracts people." Sean said before flying off wanting to be as far away from this place as possible.
Later
Sean flew through the air to clear his head on certain things.
What annoyed him the absolute most right now was that Padme was senator of Naboo and was still trying to have him killed by the Law.
Even worse she was saying his mother should be punished for even taking him in.
That alone made her a Pariah since no one supported her period.
Not even the most cruel and greedy senators that were left sided with out of either fear, Cation, Or any other reason.
After he had set his old home planet free no one wanted to get on his bad side even though he was serving the people.
"You look troubled." Superman said making him look up seeing him.
"Ah, just clearing my head. Seriously how did that bitch get on the Senate?" Sean asked.
"Sadly people in power or former power have a lot of sway. From what I hear she mostly got the position due to sympathy for what happened to her family." Superman said.
"Yeah...Did it ever seem strange to you?" Sean asked.
"What?" Superman asked.
"How they were just in Metropolis after the invasion ended? Kinda seems...strange." Sean said.
"She said she invited them." Superman said.
"Yeah...And then Gunray was placed in prison. What if they were killed by him as payback?" Sean asked.
"Maybe. But you don't have any way to prove it since Gunray died in prison last year." Superman said.
"Yeah. But if I ever do find proof Hopefully it will get her off my back." Sean said before flying to Luthor Corp.
Arriving through the top of the building he found Lex signing papers.
"Sean. I wasn't expecting you." Lex said smiling.
"Eh. I was just flying to clear my head. Whats up?" Sean asked.
"Nothing much. Just signing these training papers." Lex said.
"I thought that Dooku paid those cloners for a Clone army." Sean said.
He knew all about the clone army as did many people in the highest positions of power.
He was in full agreement with it since he felt having an army was a good idea since obviously there would be other threats besides what remained of his people who followed flawed programing.
"This is for the Earth Faction. New Armor and weapons. Ever since that whole incident people have been enlisting every day. The Clone army is the main focus but every other world is starting to enlist. Despite the Senator's objections saying it was a wasted requirement unless they used it on you." Lex said making him scoff.
"I'll never understand why she's allowed to be in office if her mind set is only on killing me." Sean said sitting down.
"Most feel she can change once she actually grieves. Others just feel sympathy for her." Lex said before getting an alert before he answered it as Lena appeared.
"Hey Lena." Sean said.
"We have a serious problem...And it involves Turok." Lena said making him frown.
Later
Sean glared seeing his brother and Dooku in chains in hologram form held by Slavers of Zygerria.
"You have some nerve." Sean said making the queen laugh.
"Oh I know and it will bring my people to even greater power. Here's whats going to happen child. You will serve me and my people for all of time. Do whatever we wish. And the Republic will be ours to control." Miraj said arrogantly making him snarl.
"I have a better idea." Sean said placing his mask on with the visor glowing making her frown. "You have one hour...To release them...Or I destroy your entire planet from the inside out." Beowulf said concerning some people.
"You think you can threaten me? I have your brother and his master as a bargaining chip. You will do as I say. And I command you to destroy the Republic, The Jedi and anyone who I say." Miraj said arrogantly making him snarl approaching her.
"Now you got five minutes." Beowulf said leaving.
"SUCH ARROGANCE!" Miraj yelled in outrage.
"You seriously think he's gonna take this laying down?" Lionel asked amused.
"He will if he wants his brother..." Miraj tried to say before her whole palace shook.
"I think you just reduced the population of your species by this act." Chancellor Mon Mothma said ending her transmission.
Meanwhile
The People of Zygerria screamed in horror as buildings toppled down on them as Beowulf on Godzilla's shoulder approached the palace as he roared loudly into the air before breathing atomic breath on the people.
"Arrogance." Beowulf said as he arrived at the place getting off as Godzilla continued to wreck havoc on the people.
Several guards tried to stop him but they were quickly and brutally killed by him without even trying as he made his way inside.
"NO! STOP HIM!" Miraj screamed in fear before Turok got free before using the force to get his lightsaber from her which was green before freeing Dooku who got his back as well.
"Truly the Arrogance you inherited from your so called empire. Did you really think Kruger would just accept your terms so easily?" Dooku asked amused.
Thats when the doors were blasted down making her gasp in horror as he approached.
"You good?" Beowulf asked his brother.
"She said she was gonna sell me to a pedophile." Turok said.
"I NEVER SAID THAT!" Miraj screamed in outrage.
"Yeah I know thats clearly a lie. But nice try." Beowulf said amused making him smirk.
"Now then. I think we have some negotiations to discuss." Dooku said aiming his blade at the queen making her whimper in fear.
"Call off your beast. I'll do whatever you want!" Miraj yelled.
"No. I told you I would destroy this planet from the inside out." Beowulf said as his hand glowed. "And I'm a man of my word." Beowulf said slamming his fist down hard making the whole place shake as the place crumbled away.
"What have you done!" Miraj screamed in horror.
"I decayed the planet's core. Now's it's collapsing in on itself. We'll survive since we're leaving. You on the other hand will not." Beowulf said as the three vanished as did Godzilla along with all the slaves they did have.
"AHHHHHHH!" Miraj screamed in horror as her palace collapsed on top of her before the whole planet exploded to nothing.
Later
"SEE! This is exactly what I was saying! He's a threat! Look what he did! He destroyed an entire planet. Billions of innocent people are dead because of him!" Padme screamed during the senate meeting.
"Need I remind you the planet was full of slavers? No slaves were killed. They all were evacuated before it collapsed." Thanos said next Mon Mothma being her vice Chancellor since the start.
"So you're saying the slavers were innocent?" Irons asked amused making her sputter knowing her argument was moot on that. "While it was unfortunate to lose the planet...For now." Irons said.
"For now?" Padme asked.
"More left over Immortal tech showed us how to rebuild the planet from scratch." Azmuth said.
"So in other words he just made for us to make a new planet that suits everyone's needs. And all it costed was the near extinction of a race who's constantly broken the Republic Laws for their own gains." Irons said.
"But he..." Padme tried to say.
"They also held a Jedi and his brother hostage to try and use him to their advantage. This is the result." Mon Mothma said making her growl seeing nothing she said would work.
Later
"The hell happened?" Sean asked his brother who was getting checked out by a medical droid as was Dooku.
"Unfortunately they planned an ambush well. Heavily outnumbered us with mercenaries to capture us. I knew it would only result in our deaths if we fought." Dooku said.
"I don't blame you. But why were you there to begin with?" Sean asked.
"We had a tip of possible Sith spies being there by an anonymous tip. Obviously it was a fake to lure them out. They were hoping one of your brothers would be there." Mace said.
"I find that strange." Sean said.
"Your not thinking Padme actually had something to do with this...Are ya?" Anakin asked.
"Ani that bitch has been trying to have me killed for 3 years ever since her parents died for something that was not my fault." Sean said leaving.
Later
Arriving back in New York at an institute he walked inside a lab.
"You know you didn't have to blow up the planet."
Sean scoffed seeing Hank Pym working on something.
"Technically we can rebuild it to something better now since we can start from scratch. Isn't that not a good thing?" Sean asked sitting down.
"Mmmm. True. But you also didn't need to downsize their population. We could have just used those Guardians the Forerunners use to keep troubling species in check." Hank said.
"I think the people prefer this as suitable punishment. For all the slavery they caused and all the other crap for thousands of years. Eventually Karma catches up to you." Sean said.
"Well, I can't argue that. Let me guess though. Former Queen argued your were dangerous, Blah blah blah, Wanted you executed." Hank said hearing it all before.
"Other than your own words yes. Seriously what is it gonna take to get through her head it was not my fault it happened." Sean said.
"Sadly grief and anguish can make you act out of character. But...Hopefully in a few years she'll change or she'll end up totally alone." Hank said.
"Mmm." Sean said.
Author's note: Again to make this clear I don't hate Padme or ever have I'm just mixing things up since having all good Cannon characters good gets really old. Though she is very naive when she thinks negotiations can solve everything when people like slavers never listen to anyone but themselves. Anyway Next Chapter we find an ancient Relic in the ice.
