Chapter 1870 The Dark Knights
I don't own Bleach or any of the powers and gear used in this story.
Eric was at the base looking through many screens.
He then saw a signal on the streets and checks the footage to see the same gang that Zack faced.
"Those guys."
He heard about them as they're the Payday gang and they're tech is beyond the normal means.
"I need to go." He goes out while calling for assistance.
The gang was robbing a jewelry store and then they're boss gives them a call.
"Hey. It seems the Bat is moving. Keep your eyes out." Bain said.
They looked back and got ready.
Eric comes down in his batsuit and looks around before dodging a missile. He saw the Payday gang inside of cover as they got military grade weapons ready to fight.
"Of course they're ready."
Red Hood came and shoots at them causing the guys to duck.
"How about you deal with me." He said.
The robber Wolf takes out a minigun from behind a counter.
"What the Hell?!" Red Hood got surprised.
Wolf shoots it making both had to avoid and Eric noticed they all gave metal piercing rounds.
The robbers made a run for it.
"How the Hell are these guys prepared like this?!" Red Hood said.
"They must have a version of Oracle." Eric said.
"Guys." Oracle contacted them. "I found radio waves, they have someone watching over them too."
"Great." Red Hood chases them.
Eric follows him as this isn't just some random robbers as these guys are pros and get prepared like them.
The gang runs as they took what they go.
"Well keep going boys we got enough." Bain said.
They ran to the van and drove off. As they went to the streets the Tumbler came out to chase them.
Dallas looks. "Well the Bat won't let us go so easily."
They shoot back as the Tumbler kept going. One shoots a rocket at the window causing a explosion.
It blinded Batman and Red Hood but didn't destroy it. Instead it allowed the Payday gang to take a turn as the duo move forward making them miss the turn.
Dallas kept driving as his allies cover they're blind spots.
The Tumbler crashes through a building that was set to go down, it goes in front of them as Dallas stops the van.
Dallas narrows his eyes as Batman stares at them through the window.
"What do we do?" Wolf said.
"Hold on." Dallas said.
He then drives towards a dock making the Bat family chase them.
Dallas then drives off the docks and goes inside the water.
The Tumbler stops and the two looked down at the water.
"Dude." Red Hood looks down.
"They escaped for now. They failed at they're job but still succeeded in escaping. They'll come back and be more prepared. So we have to do the same." Eric said.
He looks up as these guys surpass many of Gothams best criminals and will be even more dangerous.
With Ma-Ma
She arrived at a city with it being on fire. B-Rex was grunting from behind.
She looks around as many alternate Batmen came out.
"So this is the group called the Dark Knights. Well boys and girls where's your leader?" She questions.
"Your going down!" Chiroptor charges at her.
Ma-Ma puts on her suit and shoots flamethrowers at her and he screams going back. It was a good thing she modified it more.
Dawenbreaker flies towards her but Ma-Ma takes out her yellow Lantern powered guns to shoot the green lantern making him cry out in pain.
Murder Machine drone flies towards her and she uses her drugs to increase her strenght to destroy the drone with a punch.
"Come on out Batman!" She yelled.
Someone claps they're hands and she saw someone on top of a rooftop. It was the most dangerous Batman among the dark multiverse... The Batman Who Laughs.
"Very good performance. I heard there was a new Joker and I see it in you." He said. "You managed to beat a few of my men."
"Yeah well you know what I want then." She said.
"Not all plans are fool proof my dear." He told her.
"Then i'll just adapt." She takes out two arm blades.
The Drowned came. "You are not-"
Ma-Ma cuts her off using a blaster based on Mr. Freeze's gun to freeze her.
"Oooh, Mr. Freeze." Batman Who Laughs got interested.
"I learned from your own rogues Batman." She said.
She got many weapons from the villains, the riddler's mind, Deathstroke's capacity, the skills of the League of Shadows, the strenght of Bane just to face him.
He comes down and takes out a sickle like weapon.
"This will be fun to see how much you can do." He said.
Ma-Ma charges at him and swings her arm blades clashing with him. He then kicks her back and throws razor sharp metal cards.
She blocks with her swords and shoots her flamethrowers making him jump to the side.
The Batman who laughs then swings a chain and grabs her by the neck before shooting at Ma-Ma.
She grunted and uses another drug to increase her skills to break the chain and shoot back.
"You shouldn't consume too many, not good for your health." He told her while dodging.
"I've dealt with worse." She said.
He chuckles and throws many cards and batarangs at her. She dodges them and shoots the freeze blaster making him get his arm frozen.
"Nice shot." He complimented.
He smashes his fist down to free from the ice. "Also I noticed the tubes on the back."
At the back of her armor was a special liquid moving through the insides of the suit to soak her body.
"That's a lazarus pit liquid you insane genius woman. You made sure your wounds could heal." He laughs.
"Of course I did." She charges at him again.
They clashed many times and he smashes her visor with a elbow strike. She grunted since it broke.
She then grabs him and headbutts the guy many times not caring if she got stabbed by the spikes.
He then throws her away. "You know I like you. Nobody has ever made it this hard for me before."
"Yeah, you've been recruiting many Batmen, but theres another one. A successor of your counterpart that has been getting his own army." She told him.
He then frowns a bit. "Oh. Well then that makes things more surprising. If your his Joker than I can see why he's a hard cookie. You wanted my skills right, well then..." He takes her broken helmet and turns around tinkering it.
He turns back to show he merged it with a version of his own visor.
"Think of this as a symbol of our friendship." He puts it on her. "Afterall a good Batman needs a great Joker. And your going to be one of the best."
He helps her up as the Batman Who Laughs has chosen to help her on her crusade while he is still getting the members he needs.
Note: The Payday gang fought against Eric and barely escaped from him, also Ma-Ma has found the Dark Knights to find the Batman Who Laughs to gain his skills as she sees him as the most dangerous out of all the Evil Batmen.
