Battle for the cowl

[Guest EvanAlmighty]

Canary spotted Todd and gave chase.

He continued on, as if going to a specific location...

Better keep him in my sights, Canary thinks as she tails Todd

As I kept running in the shadows, I thought I saw someone trailing me, but I threw a thermal detonator back their to make sure.

I was almost there.

I got a few meters before I heard the detonator go off.

I smiled under my mask and kept running.

I was almost there...

*BOOM*

Uhoh, that was some blast for me to've heard it from here.

Best check it out

 

I hook a batline ready for anything

I checked my 360 degree vision goggles and thought I saw Nightwing.

I started running faster, hoping he didn't see me.

[Guest KevinDWolf93]

I reach the site of the blast gatarang in 1 hand, e.stick in the other.....I dont see anything destroyed(aside from a few nearbg cans,or any potential victims of the blast.

 

Whoever the bomber was aiming for,he missed.Still best be careful.

 

I began to investigate the origin of the blast: I knew alot of people who used bombs,but these probablycame(in some way at least) from waynetech. Im looking for a protege of Bruces.....

Made it! Anyone who was following me had more than likely lost my trail.

But I was still sure that Dick knew that I had thrown the bomb.

Or someone else trained by Batman.

I quickly grabbed all my weapons; Batarangs, revolvers, etc.

I also reloaded the weapons I already had and slipped on a bulletproof vest.

Suddenly I heard the sound of feet walking on metal.

Whoever it was, I would be ready for them.

OOC: Sorry it took me so long to get here Kevin.

 

Character: The Joker.

 

Ugh, sad day it was. Batmans dead. Really too bad, so much so that I havent even commited crime in the last few days. Not much of a point with him not around. Luckily this big brawl has reinvigorated me a bit. Maybe Ill have some fun with batsy's proteges.

 

As I stroll along a back alley smile in tow I see a cowled figure:Batman?!?....No. Suits all wrong,plus hes not the right size.

 

Then I felt an anger go all over me as if it was a personal insult.

 

How dare that second rate, poser! Think he can dress up like Bats and think hes a match for me! Ill show him!

 

Raising my sleeves to engage in some fisticuffs, I get a better idea.

 

Lets see if THIS "Batman" take a joke.

 

Winding up a small toy filled with some heavyduty C4 I let it slowly walk up to that imposter. He doesnt even rnotice it until its right next to him. Then..........

I was walking back to where Dick was.

I suddenly hear a whirring of a wind up toy.

I look down and it has a little sign that says, "HA HA"

Oh great, it's the freak who killed me.

Then I hear a tick tick tick...

"Oh crap,"

I kick the toy to the right but it exploded after about three yards.

About half the skin was burnt off my lower body.

"Ugh.....I'm gonna kill that creep!"

He startef running at me...hmm guess this bats cant take a joke either. Before I can react hes got me pinned to a wall.

 

todd: IM GONNA KILL U JOKER!

Me:Short pants! Glad to see ur still alive.

He takes this time to punch me around a bit.Punctuating with each hit...Me thinks hes a bit upset.

 

Todd:DONT! CALL! ME! THAT!

 

Sorry, dont have any other nicknames for ya. Not Hood anymore and I cant call u batman. Itd kill my reputatio-

 

I was rudely interrupted by another punch.

 

todd: Ill kill YOU!

 

he pulls out a revolver and points it to my head.

 

:Youll never know how much im gonna enjoy this.

 

He pulls the trigger, and.....*click*

me:Hmmm guess you wont either.

 

A swift kick in the groin doubles him over before he can react. Empty gun AND no cup...Ametur.Still best skedaddle before he gets up.....

[Guest Kinetic War]

As he runs around the corner, I grab the clown by his collar and lift him up against a wall. The recent explosions must be his doing. Chaotic bastard. After his head clears, he seems to recognize me.

 

"Bane!" he says happily, or at least with an annoyingly happy tone in his voice. "So nice to see you! You know, Batman left you with quite a responsibility."

 

I should know better than listen to the freak, but I admit I'm curious to hear what he has to say.

 

"The last words he said to me were..." He pauses and urges me to listen closer. I lean in, just a bit...

 

"Ding dong, anybody home?"

 

A blinding flash and a screaming noise stun me for a moment, then he breaks free and runs off, laughing like a maniac. Damn. Careless again, didn't notice him reaching for one of his toys again. I give chase...

[Guest EvanAlmighty]

Apparently Bane had ran into the Joker as well.

After about 30 seconds the pain went away.

"I'm gonna kill that son of a b*tch!"

I run off, following banes tracks, and loading a semi-automatic handgun.

[Guest KevinDWolf93]

I had just finished investigading the bomb site, when I heard a very familiar laugh.....HIM

 

I quickly turned and saw him runming in my direction. My heart skipped a beat....then it skipped several when I saw Bane giving chase and Todd bringing up the rear.

 

:The universe hates me....its official.

 

I arm myself for the impending onslaught......

[C.T.]

Black Canary trails after Todd, and spots Bane, Joker, and Nightwing.

 

"Holy Crap!"

 

Canary goes in with a flurry of kicks and gives everyone a Canary Cry, free of charge.

Ngh. Guess its a real free-for-all.I put on some ear plugs from earlier. They help but shes still at point blank. Dont know how everyone else is doing and I dont care at the moment. I toss some flashbang, everyone is stunned for a second. Just what I needed, I hook a batline on a far away rooftop then.......

[Guest Kinetic War]

AAGH! Not the Canary Cry! I hold my hands over my ears, but I feel a kick in my back. High heels. The Canary. I fall to the ground to make her think I'm finished.

 

And now the bright lights again... What's going on? I vaguely see a figure shooting out a batline. It's Grayson. He's going to escape. Oh, no, you're not...

 

I see Canary battling Todd, who's holding his own right now, but will eventually be defeated by the martial arts specialist.

 

Unless I interfere. I still have a bone to pick with her.

 

I grab Grayson just as he's ready to swing away, lift him up and throw him against the Canary. The impact throws her off balance, she falls against Todd, and then they're all just a pile on the ground. They're getting up, ready to do battle again...

 

Wait a minute. Where'd the Joker go?

[Guest EvanAlmighty]

Black Canary trails after Todd, and spots Bane, Joker, and Nightwing.

 

"Holy Crap!"

 

Canary goes in with a flurry of kicks and gives everyone a Canary Cry, free of charge.

"Oh, not this b*tch again,"

A little disoriented, I try and punch Black Canary, but she knocks me down to the ground.

I sweep her legs out from under her and repeatedley punch her in the face.

"This...should...teach...you...a lesson!"

Before, he got off the next punch I was there to intercept it.

 

:Learn how to treat a lady.

 

His rebuttal was to draw a knife on me. We then started to showdown, but I kept looking around, all I saw was Bane. He hadnt joined the fight, he was lookind around but w-

 

:Dammit

 

I realized who was missing. Joker. Mustve escaped during the flash.Good job, that was probably ur one chance to get him before he caused-

 

Ow...

 

Todd was getting closer, that cut, though superficial, proved that. Hate to say it, but better worry bout Joker l8r.....

I took my knife and jammed it into Dick's shoulder.

"D*mn it, Dick, lady or not she's a b*tch!"

I punch Dick in the gut and get back to Canary.

Whether it was the suit blocking the knife or pain killers

I grab him in a choke, not even taking a sec to cry in pain, before he can go another step towards the downed canary. while were struggling we both saw Canary prepping a cry. Neither of us wanting to be on the recieving end forgot our fight and both hooked our batlines straight up and outta the line of fire.

Hanging up there, We were both relieved we forgot we were fighting, but Todd quickly remembering drew a knife and went for my batline, I countered with a mule kick sending him back.

 

Unfortunately I was sent back into a nearby window from the force of the kick, though the cry weakened it enough for me to get through it with only a few small(albeit sharp) shards of glass

The landing was the hardest part,couldve broken my neck.....

Seeing todd still on his line, winded from my counter,I decide to duck outta sight, deeper into the building, to think up a new plan.

Best case: they think Im out and leave me, Allowing me a break and clean exit, worst: Someone comes to finish the job, in which case I have some element of suprise.

"I great, now where did Dick go?"

I had no clue, but I could get to him later. I looked down and saw Black Canary.

I then dropped a thermal detonator right in front of her.

"B*tch."

I then proceeded to scale the building , searching for broken windows.

From the other side of the city, I sat watching the news in my lair,surrounded by the dregs and scum of Gotham city. Though my eyes are fixed upon the screen, my mind is elsewhere. On the Bat. For a moment, the delicious tingle of fear courses through my body as I remember him. Like a shadow in my twisted mind. A pity I couldn't secure the body. Who knows how many secrets were lost in that enviable brain of his?

 

Abruptly one of my goons call out "boss, look at the news!" Startled out of my musing, my mind switches to reality as Gotham News shows a battle unlike any I have seen. I recognize three of my colleagues, Firefly, that idiot Joker and Bane. I calculate for a brief moment before standing up. "Get ready men." My smile disappears as the mask of the Scarecrow covers it. "It seems we have a party to crash."

I hear some shouting down below and see some thugs with guns.

Hm...more street punks, I thought.

Then I saw Scarecrow.

It would take some time to find Dick, and I had Scarecrow, Bane and Joker down there. I dropped a bomb towards the criminals and slowly preceded down my batline.

As I ride back to the Batcave, barely able to hang on, I know I am in trouble. The road ahead shimmers back and forth as I fade in and out of consciousness, and my willpower is quickly waning. I cough blood with every bump in the road. No, this is not good, not good at all.

 

I let the motorcycle fall to the floor as I prop my self against the wall an push the button on the lift..."I have to get to the lab...need meds..need...something.." But I realize that nothing can help me now. The damage sustained was more than I could take. "...need..sleep.."

 

In my daze I miscalculate and slump on what turns out to be the floor of the Communications room. No matter, nothing saving my hide this time..but what now? Gotham is still in danger..If not me then who? I press the save button and the laptop that I worked from compiles my notes...on the screen is the last person that I considered to ally with...Smart? The smartest maybe..especially during combat situations.. Capable? The strength of ten men..tactical genius...decades of experience... Attitude? Will kill anyone and anything in his way...

 

With my last act, I send an email with all of my notes to the next potential defender of Gotham..Dea....

 

* Avatar switch..Deathstroke*

"Hmm" "Its a good thing, I've been watching Cain anyway...", I think to myself. As the message from Batgirl come through, I wonder why she sent it. Of course, by now everyone knows of the Bat's disappearance... But who else is laying claim to the cowl? She must be in bad shape to trust me.. "Intruiging..." Ok, I'll bite..who knows? I may gain Gotham as my prize...

 

I make my way into Gotham's interior. APBs, news feeds, the stray thug on the street...all oint me directly to the action at hand. I power down my vehicle and prepare for battle. Batgirl was right about one thing..The only way to win this war is slowly..one by one...from the shadows..and with that I make my way..closer..

Phew, I got away from that womens voice. I managed to escape from the battle area in the confusion. It seemed things were heating up

 

"How fun."

 

I decided to wait things out and let the costumed freaks pound each other, when I saw, walking away from thew fight Scarecrow riding along with a few mooks.

 

"HEY GRIM! HOW R YA!"

 

Scarecrow seemed happy to see me....oh wait his mask always looks like that. Hes telling his henchmen something....uh oh theyre raising their guns.

Better split. Luckily they it appears scarecrow still cant pick his henchmen, after some hilariously bad shooting they gave chase. When they rounded the corner they were suprised to not find me....too bad they lack the ability to look behind the trashcans.

 

Poor Mr Crane. Bet hell be upset, hehe.......
