Rain pelted Gotham as the sound of sirens and gunfire echoed through it's deserted streets. Scarecrow's gas threat had cleared out most of the population a while ago, leaving only the extreme ends of law keepers and law breakers to populate the city. After Batman's death, the Police Department tried to push out and retake the city, but suffered losses at the hands of the Arkham Knight's militia. Now cooped up in their station, the cops and the few good people of Gotham left pray for a miracle.

 

{Batgirl & Oracle}

Oracle watched drone movement from her control room on board the sub she had tripped out be friends. She would have to thank Clark again for his contribution on that front, and on short notice too. With a few key strokes, she pulled up a build up of drones out front of the Wayne Enterprises building.

"They're looking to take Lucius Fox and what ever tech is left in the R&D lab." She explained. "Lucius is keeping the drones out, but troops are moving in. I need you to get in there, save Lucius and torch the R&D Lab."

Pulling on her last boot, Cassandra stood up and walked over to Barbara's side.

"How many?" She asked, watching the screen intently.

"12 soldiers." Barbara answered promptly. "No details on troop composition."

"No problem." Cassandra said. "Studied them all."

Barbara nodded, then checked the sub's progess.

"Alright, we are about ready to surface." She said.

She gave her young protégé a worried look.

"Are you ready?" She asked, concern in her voice.

Cassandra didn't answer at first as she pulled out her mask and put it on.

"Yes." Batgirl answered. "Don't...um, worry, Oracle."

The young vigilante placed a reassuring hand on Barbara's shoulder. She wasn't good with words. That wasn't how she was taught to communicate. Actions were better. Barbara patted Batgirl's hand.

"Be safe out there." She said.

"That is a...um..." Batgirl began.

"Yes, telling you to be safe while I'm sending you out there is a contradiction." Barbara said with a chuckle.

"Still try." Batgirl said confidently.

Removing her hand, Batgirl walked back to the launch hatch of the sub. As she went, she pulled her hood over here head. It was time to go to work.

 

Off Miagani Island, what looked like a manhole cover emerged from the water a few inches. It irised open and a moment later, Batgirl was rocketed out, using a system similar to the Bat Mobile's launching mechanism. At the apex of her flight, Batgirl aimed a grapple gun and fired it for a balcony on Wayne Tower. Reeling in fast, she detached the line as it finished reeling, then vaulted over the railing of the balcony, landing lightly on her feet. Without a moment's pause, she walked up to the door leading into the tower, which opened before her. It was time to hunt.

 

{Bane}

In Chinatown, a trio of Arkham Knight soldiers ran for their APC. They had lost four of their comrades in an ambush a few seconds before. If they were fast, they could make it to the APC, and back to the Knight to report. Just a few more meters. When the fastest of the three reached the vehicle, he swiftly attempted to throw the door open, which set off an explosive placed within. The fastest died instantly, the other two were thrown back.

After a moment, one tried to get up but was riddled with bullets before he had moved much. The last soldier remained stock still for a moment, then he rolled to his right a few times, ending up on his back. He fired a three round burst at where he thought the shots had come from. A large figure came out of the shadows from his right, moving fast. He tried to move his gun around to shot the charging figure, but when he got it around, the figure stomped on his arm, crushing bones against the street. The soldier yelled in pain and was almost immediately yanked up by his collar, so that his face was level with Bane's.

"Hola." Bane said, savagely ripping the gun from the soldier's hand, breaking a few fingers along the way.

The soldier whimpered.

"I would like you to extend my congratulations to the Arkham Knight for killing the Bat." The big Mastermind said calmly. "But tell him that his time is up. Gotham belongs to me. He can either give it too me now, or wait until I have broken him for it. His choice."

Bane let go of the soldier, who slumped to the ground.

"My boys will see you to one of the Knight's bases. Feel better."

Bane walked away, the sounds of his men getting the wounded soldier up and pushing him along his way. He would undoubtably get more wounds from this treatment, but Bane did not care. It wasn't going to work on the Knight, he knew, but there was some satisfaction to be had for getting members of an enemy gang to tell their boss of the impending doom that awaited them.

[Firo_Procheniezio 71]

(It's a little stupid entrance but it's there. Also i thought i'd join in the action as soon as possible.)

 

{earlier that day}

Ravens were flying around Wayne tower flapping their black feathered wings in the rain. The birds giving ominous noises every so often and creating several flocks around said tower. With all the commotion in the air it was easy enough to get a man through unnoticed but only if the creatures stayed together there was but a hint of something keeping them together but none noticed it was human.

 

{present moment} 

"Well now you're a sight for sore eyes. The girl behind the man only the man is dead." Said Thaddeus who was already inside the Wayne tower. He stood on the inner side of the entrance leaning only slightly with one hand on the wall. The other held his blade spear which was pointing forwards. He had been waiting for someone not necessarily her.

"Figured I'd get someone here sooner or later." He adjusted his hat and backed away a little then gestured for her to come in his eyes revealed to have an anxious look. He then whirled his weapon once and spoke.

"Don't be shy. After all my agenda today consists of not killing you. In fact I'd be more than willing to be of assistance right now. It is only natural that the knight in shining armor comes to your aid isn't it?"

[rikunobodyxiii 700]

{Batgirl}

"No." Batgirl answered Thaddeus in a hostile tone.

She watched him for a moment, reading his body movements to see what he was thinking and what he might do. She did not see discipline. This boy was an armature, but she could still see a confidence. But all in all, what Batgirl saw was another civilian to save.

"Don't need help." She continued. "Others do. Leave once path is um, clear."

Without waiting for his reply, Batgirl ran for the main stair well of the tower. The elevators would be locked down, so the milita would try coming up there.

"Alright, Zelda dear, are you ready to test the new thrusters?"

 

Inside of his psuedo-command-center, underneath the blood and asphalt, below the acid rain and toxic sewage, below the hell that was Gotham, the seventh layer of Hell lay with Lyonal as it's Lucifer. His oddly squeaky, high-pitched voice was a result of being made infertile by one of the many thugs that ran with The Penguin. He had a bone to pick there, but bigger skeletons to burry. The screen he glared at, comprised of many monitors and points of view, kept all eyes out for Lyonal's precious legacy. "When you're ready, we'll do a fly-by of the Arkham Knight's compound, taunt around a little, provoke him. First step to winning a war is getting to the mind, not the body."

[Arya Stark 1,337]

~Nightwing~

"No venom... That's good I suppose." Nightwing muttered to himself, adjusting his binoculars. The wind was ruffling his hair as he stood on a gargoyle, staring down onto the streets. He had heard rumors that Bane was back... He wasn't pleased to learn that they were true. Nightwing sighed and slid the binoculars back into position on his belt. Well... He'd best go down and introduce himself. The former sidekick made his way down the building as quickly as possible, still sticking to the shadows and not making a whole lot of noise. He only wanted to talk to the ex-junkie, not attract the attention of every thug in a mile. Nightwing landed in front of Bane, and shot a characteristic grin towards the villain. "Sup? Was just checking in, wanted to make sure your immigration papers had gone through, see how rehab went for you. We're all here for you in these troubling times." Dick Grayson mocked and teased as he always enjoyed, but he kept on his toes. Bane was one of his mentor's toughest adversaries, he could not afford to make mistakes.

 

~Harley Quinn~

"Ugh, good riddance!" Harley cried happily as she caved in one of the goon's heads. Her gang moved out, systematically taking out the Militia. Harley grinned widely, pulling out one of her pistols and emptying a couple of bullets into some heads that foolishly poked out of cover. These new drills were working quite fine actually. The gang was more efficient than ever, and once an outpost like this one let down their guard... it was easy pickings. Harley smelled the air dramatically, a grin slowly spreading across her face. This was good. More of their old turf would be won back with this battle. The Arkham Knight would pay for taking the last of the original Infecteds life. Batman had been her last chance for Mr. J to be back.... Harley shook herself back into reality, and unloaded the rest of her clip into a Militia member's chest. Ah, that felt better. 

 

~Mercy & Haraami~

Mercy tapped his foot anxiously against the cold concrete. He didn't like these underground tunnels. They were so... confined. Judging by the way his partner was sharpening her blade like it had done something wrong, she felt the same way. It was unfortunate that the boss man had chosen down here to set up this larger scale base. Strategic? Yeah sure. But that didn't change Mercy's opinion of it being uncomfortable.

"What are we doing here?!" Haraami exclaimed suddenly, holstering her blade. 

"Waiting for orders." Mercy replied easily. 

"I hope we get them fast..." Haraami continued, shaking her head.

-Dusk Knight-

 

Within the dark depths of a Former Batcave, walking with a swarm of bats flying around as they always do, Jerry Dalton looked around for a moment at the wonderous place...it once belonged to the great Batman...if only he were alive to see him here...

Putting aside the thought swiftly, he walked to the main segment of the flooring/scaffolding with the re-purposed Batcomputer, now Duskcomputer, along with a small terminal which with a push of a few buttons, unveiled a container holding his Dusksuit which opened before him.

 

Suiting up, with the boots and mask being the very last segments put on, the Dusk Knight headed over to the Incomplete Duskwing and put his hands on his hips.

 

"Sir? You do realize that is not finished yet, correct?" These were the words of his Butler who was already in the Cave, now standing behind Jerry and asking him this question.

 

"It is only missing its weapons, Alfred. I don't need them to fly the Duskwing." He said to his Butler, Alfred, but not Alfred Pennyworth, for he had gone into hiding. This was Alfred Matthews, an equally distinguished butler to the Dalton Family, who was quite a servile snarker himself.

 

"If you say so, Sir, but don't complain when you experience turbulence, Master Jerry." He added, then allowed the Dusk Knight to go on his way. With this, the Dusk Knight pushed a button on his right arm and the Duskwing's lights lit up and the engines powered up as he entered the plane and began to take off, the Duskwing then adjusted its wings into Flight Position and sped off through another cavern into the outside then headed into Gotham.

 

Duskwing:

 

 

Alfred Matthews:

 

 

-Aufeis & Mr. Freeze-

 

Working in the lab with Mr. Freeze, Aufeis aka Eleanor was assisting him in an experiment with a new weapon he was working on for her: A Shuriken, attempting to perfect its shape in order to be used as a similar weapon to the Batarang and to serve further functions upon completion.

 

"We are almost there, Eleanor. I'm glad to have you on board for this, as I am not as skilled with Aerodynamics as you." Mr. Freeze said in an almost warm tone, about as warm as Victor could get, but it was felt by Eleanor nonetheless.

 

"Why thank you, Victor~ It helps me sometimes." She jested, but was grateful for the praise as she made subtle adjustments to the Digital Blueprint on screen with small twitches of the mouse and numeral changes. "Almost....." This could take a while.

 

-Arkham Knight-

 

Within his main compound, The Arkham Knight wandered in his room for a while, pondering his next move and the future of Gotham City, along with the fates of the arising heroes that wished to take the place of the Dark Knight. He also had the issue of Gotham's criminal forces to deal with, as they might be...disruptive.

 

Leaving his train of thought for a while, he left his room and entered the main Control Room, with Militia Technicians at computers, communicating to the rest of the Militia across the City, with the Militia Commander and a couple of Lieutenants issuing orders.

 

The Knight walked to his Commander, who saluted while the Knight saluted back. "At ease. Status report, Sergeant." He said to the point, while the Commander, who's rank was Sergeant, spoke. "Everything is looking good on most parts of Gotham, except for Chinatown, where a Squadron radioed for immediate help, but then went silent...apparently they were being pursued and I can only assume killed because none have reported back to me." He explained, then he frowned. "We've also lost contact with an Outpost. No doubt Harley Quinn's work. THAT one is obvious, but the former is odd." He added, to which the Knight looked around then spoke.

 

"Harley's becoming an issue...she never was stable. And what of the "Heroes"?" He asked the Sergeant.

 

"Nothing so far, we're still re-establishing most of our Sensors and Air Traffic Monitors, but all of our Ground Sensors and Checkpoints report nothing out of the ordinary." He explained.

 

"All right. Continue your duties, I'll stick around." The Knight said, to which the Sergeant replied: "Yes sir!"

 

-Deathstroke-

 

Watching Wayne Tower, Deathstroke saw Batgirl and Thaddeus talking and enter the building, giving Slade a moment of opportunity to slip in while they did not see him, using his Grapnel Gun, he ascended up to their level on Wayne Tower, but took a different route through a window ahead of them, then swiftly entered a Vent to hide.

"All right...they had better be ready for me....if they want to succeed Batman." He said to himself quietly, then waited.

[Saber Lily 1,543]

Amidst the eternal waves of time
From a ripple of change shall the storm rise
Out of the abyss peer the eyes of a demon
Behold the Razgriz, its wings of black sheath

"I see it, Lyonal." She bit her lip and shifted a bit, banking. Zelda Olympia Yui. Called by Lyonal Black Cobalt...but she much prefered her own name - Black Ikaros. And right now, she was winging her way over the main compound of the Arkham Knight.
"I got a bunch of drone planes and tanks and...uh...Lyonal, they have a lot of towers. I can't fly closer, or they-nevermind." She dropped and hid behind some architecure as a few gunshots cut over the sky above her. Cursing, the teen unslung her massive gun and set it to Buster - or, as she liked to call it, firetruck You. She hit her brand new thrusters and took the to sky. Taking aim, her Artemis Tracking System targetted the Knight Milita positon.
"Mission...Accepted."

The Buster shot blaster the rooftop off, but her suit flickered. She quickly turned and took to the sky. "Lyonal? I uh, blew up a rooftop. Kinda. Sorry. I think I cycled it too much, I took half my charge out by accident..."


-Damocles-

"Multiple hostiles heading for Wayne Tower. Just like the siege of the GCPD."
"Two columns of tanks and other vehicles heading in. Tracking four Dragon helicotpers and two Serpents."
"Llamrei One copies.
"Llamrei Two Copies."
The special aircraft gunned it, flying low over the buildings.
"Approaching drop point. Lily and Nero - you're up. Shadow stays behind."

Silence.


"Commence operation."

The twin Tumbler Mk-II Heavy Assault Vehicles detached and hit their strafe jets at full power. Separating at high speed, they hit the ground and sped forward, right at the oncoming tanks.
"Hey, Lily."
"What, Nero?"
"Winner gets Riley."

Lily laughed softly. "Using the maid? How mean."
"You know she's adorable."
The white Llamrei entered battle mode and raised up, extending the main railgun. "Yeah. Which is why you never bet her."
The red one did the same. "Why do you think I do?"

Almost at the same time, both Llamrei's fired their Heavy Railguns at the Rattlers, blasting through the center of them all and breaking the columns.
"Avalon to Lammrei team - Engaging Serpents. Dragons are your problem."
"Roger that Avalon. Llamrei Team out."

Missiles turned the Serpents to scrap as the Dragons learned the power of the Llamrei's.

The Sisters Damocles were not about to let the Knight get his hands on anything belonging to Batman.
That was their mission.

-Last Reich-

The mass of slaves were noisy and scared. The warehouse was dark and they could only see a few feet in front of them...until the floodlights blazed on. The warehouse had plenty of boxes and crates scattered, with pipes and bats and knives and bricks and all manner of impromptu and usual weapons scattered around. It was a veritable battleground for them, and behind a wall of bulletproof glass was Athanasia.

Each of these prisoners had caused her men tremendous amounts of trouble, though a few extras were thrown in because of spacing conerns. She was tired of them, and so...this. She sighed softly and snapped her fingers.
"Most of you have caused me and my men many headaches. We are tired of your constant problems so we give you a choice. Fight and possibly one of eleven to be forgiven and allowed to live. Or die. Enjoy."

The cage fell away, and suddenly the group exploded. Most ran for a weapon while a few stood and just began whaling on each other in a desperate fight for survival. Athanasia actually watched someone else though. A small girl, maybe nineteen. She hid within a crate, letting everyone else fight. Smart.

Because the fight was long, and bloody. Most were beaten to death, but a few stabbings got through. She particularly enjoyed it as two fought with impressive fighting skills, until the bigger one tackled and beat the other one's head in with a brick.
That was going to be messy to clean up.

When the mist cleared, eight men and three women stood amongst the carnage. She stood and clasped her hands behind her, at ease.
"Twelve live." She called. "One more must fall."
The others looked confused. They began warily looking around, searching for the last one. As a man approached the crate, he stiffened...then ripped the crate open and lifted the scrawny girl. He grinned ferally as she kicked and struggled, his hand around one of the few knives. She had no chance.

Of course, that was before the .45 ACP round took his brains out. She stepped past where the glass had parted, walking towards them. They backed away, tense and wary.
"Tsk, tsk. I happened to like her idea. No one really thought of that until he heard her whimper. Excellent combat prognosis." She dragged the girl up. "But you see, I only have room for ten more people." She shoved the girl into the floor before them. Silent, they looked at each other...then charged the scrawny girl. She screamed and scrambled towards Athanaisa...who merely raised her gun again and shot a random person. A man again, oh the odds were against them.
"Changed my mind. Take them away."

The shutters raised. Her men dragged them away, but she hauled the girl up.
"I like your eyes. I wonder...how wide I can make them."
As a guard walked by, she borrowed his knife. Her eyes got wide.
The last Reich laughed. "Oh, I do hope you last longer than the last one."

[Iamkingdomhearts1000 1,170]

It was night time, howling screeches could be heard in the air's breath, as closing in on view point, we could see innocents getting both harassed and beaten up by muggers of the lowest kind, threatening to kill them with both knives and guns if they did not do as they were told and that was hand over all their valuables and then just move on like nothing ever happened, especially the beating up parts, it was terrible, this was the law and order that people had to abide by in Gotham city, pay up, surrender or die, now that the Batman was no longer prowling the skies to bring down terror upon those on the side of injustice, Gotham became a run down city ruled by criminals, soon enough, it would become known as the city with the highest criminal activity that there ever was and no one was doing anything about it, not even the police who claimed that they were on the side of justice and instead were only corrupted fools ruled by money, drugs and sex, looking over all this from a high top observation lookout was a both strange and mysterious man named Azazel, Azazel was known to be one of the next generation bachelors that had suddenly appeared in the wake of Bruce Wayne/Batman that had made exactly the same amount of money that the deceased had in fortune when he was alive, Azazel was also known to be the head of a new enterprise called the YHWH corporation that specializes in everything, especially weapons making and distribution, people would eventually come to call him "The man made messiah by god" for his righteous acts in helping the people of Gotham, however, there is another side to him entirely... "...Look at them, pleading for a saviour, giving up their humanity to do just that, turning into the very things they despise the most that are hurting and killing them, fanatics, fanatics and fools locked in despair if not eternal, true, nothing lasts forever but even so, this city has stood a test of time itself and has survived, sickening to a great many maybe, the great Ra's al Ghul being one of them for example, my old master and teacher, however, I am not like him, his means are bloody and far too tainted, leaving behind waste just to create further waste to dispose of, no, if you want something done right, you must cleanse everything as a whole, leave nothing behind, that is what we of YHWH do, we do everything and leave nothing behind, not even a speck of dust for one to clean up themselves and collect as part of their dust collections if there ever was a term such as that, in other words, to kill an enemy before it can use its resources, kill the resource first and then kill the enemy, do the clean up afterwards and leave nothing else behind, my foster father Ra's and his League of Assassins was too bloody in their quest for the light of purification, we of YHWH must seek the other means of achieving that light, we must work behind the shadows, not leap out from them and then strike like deadly cobras, again in other words, we must find loop holes, that is what it means to be YHWH, now then, it is time that this joke called "Gotham is part of humanity" comes to an end, sadly, its just not that funny anymore, to bring humanity light we must first find its evil shadow, the darkness of sins, seven in total to be exact, by tracking these sins one by one, we will find the evil that we are looking for, the darkness of Gotham that will end everything in a single instance, master Ra's I will succeed where you had failed, I will turncoat Gotham back into a more "perfected" manner of civilized living, bringing about the end with it, if only you knew what YHWH could do, Ra's al Ghul, the Demon's Head." Speaking in very complex sentences and words, Azazel opened up an umbrella as it started to pour down with rain and turned his back on Gotham city, preparing to bring about something that could very well harm both the city and especially its citizens.Azazel, the man made messiah by god:https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=GowvJQvOcTA(This music plays during Azazel's speech/monologue.).

WhitE Copper sighed. "It's fine, as long as your safe, but remember the stealth drills we practiced. If you fly low, use the cover of buildings and hide as often as you feel you must, bing spotted could be bad, especially if the make use of a very talented Marksman. No thruster at this moment can fly fast enough to save you from a man who knows his way around a long-range rifle. If you can, stay high, extremely high. Your life support should keep you alive in higher altitudes, at that point, fly fast. They send a rocket after you? Fly faster than the rocket. Now go to charging station Beta Z, it's by Wanetech, so not too far off considering, and charge up. After that, come meeto me, I had a mild burst of inspiration that I think you may like."Lyonal sighed, picking up his cup of coffee, he muted his side and decided to smoke a cigarette. He knew how bad they were, but old addiction dies hard, so they say. A few puffs later, he took a drink from his cup, and reached into a small jar of candy on the side for a chocolate of some kind. Cobalt will be fine, right?

Behold the Razgriz, its wings of black sheath

-Zelda-

The girl winged her way across Gotham, using the buildings as cover for her retreat. She was pouring her energy into her thrusters, keeping her out of range and finally out of sight. It worked for the most part, and he made it to the WayneTech area, where her charge station was. She found it tuckeed away in a shadowy rooftop, and latched in. The HUD that appeared before her eyes (cybernetic implants against her corneas allowed it) and once she hit full she detached and flew up. Artemis Tracking going into surveillance mode, she found a lot of lifesigns in Wayne Towner.

"White Copper, I'm detecting multiple lifesigns in Wayne Tower...most have guns, Lyonal...I'm going to check this out." She flew up and headed for the top, and locked in her wings. Touching down, she attacked her rifle to her back and opened the roof door with a well placed kick. She slid in and clsoed it behind her, and began jumping down the stairs, aiming for a wide space to fly down.


-Last Reich-

The woman looked up from the computer. Her new pet was at her feet, battered and bruised. She did last long though, so she might be useful for stress. She nudged her.
"Go."
The girl scrambled on all fours, for one reason only - the desired exit to her small chambers was blocked by the hanging bodies of a few of Athanasia's latest traitors. They hung lifeless, and she yawned.
"So little people left in Gotham now...my, how buisness get difficult..." She flicked the touchscreen, bringing up a surveillance photo of one Roman Sionis, otherwise known as Black Mask.

Artemis Tracking going into surveillance mode, she found a lot of lifesigns in Wayne Towner."White Copper, I'm detecting multiple lifesigns in Wayne Tower...most have guns, Lyonal...I'm going to check this out." She flew up and headed for the top, and locked in her wings. Touching down, she attacked her rifle to her back and opened the roof door with a well placed kick. She slid in and clsoed it behind her, and began jumping down the stairs, aiming for a wide space to fly down.-Last Reich-The woman looked up from the computer. Her new pet was at her feet, battered and bruised. She did last long though, so she might be useful for stress. She nudged her."Go."The girl scrambled on all fours, for one reason only - the desired exit to her small chambers was blocked by the hanging bodies of a few of Athanasia's latest traitors. They hung lifeless, and she yawned."So little people left in Gotham now...my, how buisness get difficult..." She flicked the touchscreen, bringing up a surveillance photo of one Roman Sionis, otherwise known as Black Mask."First, the mafioso that needs to take an early retirement..."

As Zelda docked into the system, her arms and legs were clipped in via wrist and ankle cuffs as the charge cable hooked into her flight pack and accessed the Battery Pack. As this was preformed, diagnostic scanners that ran her whole body length scanned her for any damage, to recalibrate the new thrusters (they had consumed a bit much on the energy) and so forth. Minor damage sustained to the machinery but not her. Lyonal sighed, letting the machine take care of her, repairing the small Knicks on the cybernetics and reapplying paint to where some was scratched off. The mechanical fingers worked their way around her as the scanners continued to work on keeping the data on her completely accurate. The enclosure was tucked away in the old stairwell of the building, no one was getting up there as the stairs had been removed by Lyonal himself, and all external ladders removed as well. Only those who could fly, jump to, or climb the building could access it at that point, however the door was sealed like a vault that only Zelda's eye signature and voice password could open. The box itself was lined in layers of lead, cryptonite, titanium, steel, and graphene, nothing was going to get through that door save some very powerful explosives. The bay itself was consisting of a long, grey table that had a hole for Zelda's wings to attach to, and a docking station for her Buster Rifle. Once fully stocked and reloaded, she was set to go, with one new addition to boot."Careful, Cobalt! We haven't run any drills on this kind of situation! Stick to your guns and we'll be fine. Try to go non-lethal with this one. I stocked you with some specialty rounds for your buster rifle, let's just say they pack a punch."As this was said, Zelda's specialty HUD had the rounds automatically cycle through to the new "Glove Rounds" as they were so aptly named."Careful, the next room over contains some thugs, seven armed with ricles, one with a bludgeoning weapon of some kind, I believe a sledge hammer, and three unarmed.c

{Bane}

Bane smiled as Nightwing landed in front of him. He had been wondering when one of the Bat's children would pay him a visit.

"I am doing well." He said. "Addiction was just another foe to be crushed under my feet. Speaking of foes, I would like to extend my condolences for your mentor's death. With him taking you in after your parent's death, I would imagine Bruce's death weighs on you heavily, Dick."

Draksis was crouched at the edge of a building, using his sonar to scan the surrounding area, his suit in its full glory, he would not take out the helmet unless he was sure he was absolutely safe, which he certainly wasn't, specially since he didn't want to wet his hair in this rainy night, he noticed some commotion in the streets below, his sonar picking up quite the gang running amok, killing what most likely was militia soldiers, or thats what he picked up anyway.

 

Jumping to a nearby building to get a closer look, he used the zoom feature in his suit's visor to analyze what was happening better, none other than Harley quinn herself leading the charge on the militia territory, most likely with the intention of taking it for her gang, this would be the perfect opportunity to get information, specially from the stragglers, militia or otherwise.

HE'd need to wait for an opportunity, jumping down now would be suicide, too many people with guns...he needed a plan.

[Iamkingdomhearts1000 1,170]

Walking along the streets of Gotham was naught but a young man wearing headphones, listening to music on his phone, looking up towards the sky, this young man's name was Edward Erwig, he has always dreamed of leaving Gotham and visiting his native Germany where he was born in before his parents moved to Gotham with him when he was just a young baby, however, something has always prevented Erwig making the decision to leave, a gut feeling in his opinion or maybe it is because of a deeper reason? either way, at the moment, Erwig is living in peace in Gotham city, avoiding all of its crime related elements somehow, hanging out at Gotham's local central plaza, looking up towards the starry filled night sky, making a small wish upon all of them, the wish of one day leaving Gotham and exploring the bigger outside world, saying "Come on stars, grant me a wish, let me leave this place, I want to muster strength of my own and explore what's out there, what do you all say to that? huh?" said Edward to himself whilst clasping his hands, praying as he ponders in deep thought what it would be like outside Gotham city, maybe first going to the city of Metropolis perhaps?

-Dusk Knight-

 

Flying over the streets of Gotham, Jerry made his way around, scanning for any suspicious activity but had no luck so far, aside from a boy who seemed to be...praying? Wishing? He couldn't say for sure. Aside from that, Arkham Knight Militia Patrols, Tanks and so on, stuff he couldn't combat yet until the Duskmobile was complete, so he kept flying 'till he neared Chinatown, where his scanners picked up someone he had hoped not to see: Bane. Off Venom but still dangerous. However, he saw another...it was Nightwing. Dick Grayson...Batman's first Robin.

 

"Nightwing....let's drop in." He thought to himself, then pushed a button, setting the Duskwing to autopilot and causing him to eject from the plane downwards, landing on a nearby building, then jumping to the next, grapneling to the next and finally dropping in near Nightwing and Bane, standing up to introduce himself.

 

"Am I interrupting?" He asked jestingly.

[rikunobodyxiii 700]

{Batgirl}

"So, apparently Wayne Tower is become quite the party spot." Oracle said in Batgirl's ear bud. "I've got several radio signals coming out of there, and spotted a few people on the security cameras."

"Met one." Batgirl huffed, glancing back briefly to Thaddeus. "Has a spear. What else?"

"Girl in a flight suit." Oracle reported. "Aaaand...oh. I caught a glimpse of Deathstroke."

Batgirl's jaw tightened. She had had dealings with that mercenary. He was one of the few villains she actually had any hate for. Plus, he reminded her of her father.

"Where?" She asked in a dark tone, stopping her progress to the stair well.

"I've lost him, but he went into a vent." Oracle answered.

Batgirl gritted her teeth. Getting Fox out of here was going to be tough enough. Now Deathstroke was here.

"Um, suggestions?" She asked.

"The girl in the flight suit appears to have blown up something of the Knight's, so she might be worth giving our number to." The information broker replied. "As for Deathstroke, remember what you are that for."

"Not revenge." Batgirl said, though not happily.

She looked back at Thaddeus.

"And the boy?"

"He offered to help, so might as well give him the invite." Oracle said.

Batgirl grunted, then pulled out what looked like small flip phone from her belt and tossed it accurately to Thaddeus.

"Get out." She ordered. "Once you are out, use that, if you want to help."

With that, she kicked open a vent and slipped inside. She was running out of time to help Lucius Fox.

 

{Bane}

Bane didn't move an muscle as Dusk Knight landed near him. He gave the new comer a glance, then looked back at Nightwing.

"One of yours?" He asked. "Your mentor usually tried to take me alone."

 

{Arachnid}

Shelly swore as she climbed back up the side of the building. First test of her new, expensive, Internet ordered grapple guns had ended with her nearly going splat on the ground. She got back onto the roof rather clumsily, then stripped off the grapples.

"Well, that's 500 bucks I won't see again." She said sourly as she stuffed them into her backpack.

As far as first days on a new job, this wasn't the worst she had had. Definitely not the best, but that first day at the O'Shaunny's had been nightmarish. Looking out over the city, Shelly could tell this was going to be tiring. She would need some sort of vehicle.

"The Arachnid Buggy!" She mused, then giggled.

Even with the set backs this was fun. Now, to find some crime!

[Arya Stark 1,337]

~Haraami & Mercy~

As Zelda descended the building, a bullet clipped at her suit's backpack.

"I thought you were good at using that thing."

"Oh shut up and go kick something."

Down a few flights of stairs stood Haraami and Mercy. The thief's gun was smoking, the bullet presumably having come from her. Mercy tapped his earpiece.

"Hey boss, encountered one of the so called heroes. Advanced tech, looks like a cyborg with a wingsuit. Considering she doesn't look like one of Batman's students, I'm assuming that there are others that were allied with him here too." He said, contacting The Arkham Knight directly. Meanwhile Haraami was still evaluating the threat that the girl posed, and she began to draw her other pistol. She didn't seem too combat experienced, not with that posture and stance. But that tech could prove a threat. Could.

"Go help the men." Emma Crane said to her partner over her shoulder.

"Sure? She's packing a lot..." Mercy began to argue.

"I'm not stupid Mercy. Go." She dismissed him. Mercy shrugged and began to make his way down the stairs himself, towards where the Militia were already working on breaking into the lab. Security was certainly being a hassle, and the fact that there were heroes about would certainly delay progress further.

 

~Nightwing~

"I appreciate the well-wishes Bane. It was certainly tough, but I think that I can move on. He made me stronger for problems like you, and I intend to use that strength." Nightwing said sincerely, until the next guest popped in. Nightwing took a step back as he warily examined the intruder. He had a bat symbol on his back... That could mean one of two things. Either he was acting as a tribute to Batman's goals, or... He was disrespecting him. Nightwing smiled apprehensively, still unsure of the man's motives. "Just a little." He answered Dusk Knight, before turning back to Bane with a shrug. "Not my fault that there are a bunch of look a likes around now. If you ask me, they're all putting themselves in serious danger."

 

~The Savior~

"It is alright child." A voice came from an alleyway nearby Edward. The Savior exited the shadows, and smiled towards the boy. "I know the difficulty that you face civilian. I just wanted you to know that I will always work so that people like you can be free from the chains of those that would enslave the populace." The Savior said, as she drew her sharpened blade. She allowed it to glint it in the moonlight. So far her quest had gone well, but there was still more to be done, that much was certain.

-Zelda-

 

Her eyes went wide in surprise. She hit the thrusters and turned fast, her shoulder-mounted Vulcans extending. She opened fire with her Vulcans, tearing through what little metal was there.

"Copper I'm ambushed in the stairwell, I need an exit! I have no room to maneuver!"

 

-Llamrei Team-

 

Wayne Tower currently defended from incoming tanks, Llamrei Team split up and began patrolling the perimeter for the moment. Both unsure of what was coming next, they were surprised when the Avalon peeled away.

"Checking the city. Reports are coming in from all over at this current time." Azure said. "We have multiple reports coming in, so we'll take a look before deciding if Wayne Tower i a viable defense point."

"Cobalt, you're still near the roof. Buster Rifle a hole for yourself and escape, leave a hail of gunfire in your wake and dive below the next three floors, crash through the forth window on your left, it should be empty. If it isn't, we practiced this, White Claws and a Buster Shot or Wind Calburn in the Wind Shot mode, that should clear a small number. If more than a few, deploy the Strike Freedom's, otherwise we should be fine. Dnt worry on targeting with them, I can handle that.

[rikunobodyxiii 700]

{Bane}

"Looks like there is a pest control problem." Bane noted, eying Dusk Knight.

The arrival of the fourth member of the little, uneasy meeting going on worried Bane. People who talked like that fell into some very specific categories. A few were not worth worrying about, but others made up a very dangerous kind of enemy.

"You may have your work cut out for you."

 

{Batgirl}

With Oracle's guidance, Batgirl traversed the vent systems quickly, making her way down to the lab.

"How long does Lucius have?" Cassandra asked as she slid down.

"He's barricaded in a safe room, so should be okay for now." Oracle answered. "The Militia is focusing on the lab, so you'd better deal with them first."

Batgirl grunted her understanding, then twisted to get into a vent on the right floor. She began to hear sounds of the soldiers. Talking. Movement. Machines working on the doors to the lab. Another turn got her to a vent looking out on the group of militia soldiers trying to break into the lab.

"Have fun." Oracle said in her ear piece.

Exiting the vent like a missile, Batgirl kicked out at head height of one of the soldiers, connected squarely with his temple. He went down unconscious as she tackled another soldier to the ground, making sure he hit the ground solidly enough to get him out of the fight. She then lunged at one with a Stun Baton, ripping the weapon from his grasp and kicking him into the wall, then jabbing the baton into his armor, so that it kept shocking him till he went unconscious.

She continued her Multi Fear Takedown around the room until most of the soldiers were down. One of the ninja type enemies slashed at her with his sword, but Batgirl caught it between her hands. She took the ninja out with a swift kick to the head, taking the sword with her. She tossed it up, caught it by its grip, then flung the sword at a soldier who was taking aim at her with an assault rifle. The sword hit the gun, jarring the shooter and making his shoots go wild. In an instant, Batgirl was on him, yanking the magazine out of his rifle with one hand and punching him in the face with the other. The final soldier tried to charge her, but she used the tried and true tactic of meeting the charger head on with a batarang.

"Done." She said calmly as the last soldier hit the floor.

[Saber Lily 1,543]

-Zelda-

She pointed the gun up and fired one Buster Round. The upper roof was blasted open and she hit the thrusters to full, heading airborne and away from Haarami as fast as she could, Vulcans spitting flaming death until she was airborne. With a controlled backflip she went down to the told room and blasted inside. Finding it, thankfully, empty, she took a breather.

 

"Copper, any way we can help? Seems like the Milita really want this place, and I doubt we want them decked out with Wayne Tech weaponry?"

 

-Athanasia-

 

Sionis Industries. Such an interesting place, honestly. Taken over by such a man like Roman Sionis, Athanasia wondered how these people functioned sometimes. Like, his gangsters were spraying the APC Athanasia had put in front...like imbeciles. She sighed.

"Why are you taking so long on such...amateurs."

 

Within moments a few RPGs blasted apart the gate and a good chunk of the defenders, who began retreating inside. The APC was such a good investment when she reached America, it was quite useful.

Her troops methodically blasted every two-bit gangster who tried. It was a bloodbath quite honestly, and the Last Reich wondered further how these people ever struck fear in anyone. The Militia she did understand completely, they had men, training, vehicles. Their airpower was something she would need to invest in combating. All of them rotary...just need a few more helicopters.

 

The warehouse shook violently as her men blasted the front doors in. The unarmed APC rolled in, soaking up ammo as her men began their own extermination.

Soon, "Black Mask" would be little more than a memory.

Like all amateurs.

[Nero Kunivas 3,046]

-Dusk Knight-

 

"And you're not?" Dusk said to Nightwing in response to his comment of danger, then he looked at Bane, who even without Venom or Titan or TN-1 was still a force to be reckoned with, yet like Nightwing, he was not bothered. "How else can we honour the name of Batman? Hmm?" His comment was directed at Grayson in a lighter tone, before going back to a darker one for Bane. "So, what brings you here?"

 

For them it as an interruption, for Bane it was more, as another man appeared, acting all dramatic and was seemingly quite a...bad guy? He couldn't say, for he had seen Azrael before, but at least he chose not to kill Batman and was allegedly on a quest to stop the Order of St. Dumas. He had a few sources.

 

"Lovely. And who might you be?" The Dusk Knight asked calmly.

 

-Deathstroke-

 

"Shit..." The Assassin muttered as they moved forward, but he would easily be able to follow them through the vents, crawling through until he saw an open part of the Vent, with Vent Cover, that showed the Second Batgirl shoot through her own vent and take down everyone in the room swiftly and effectively, just like Batman.

"She has skills...but lacks the temperament...and social skills, but Batman lacked them too..." He spoke quietly to himself, then he saw one more Militia Soldier trying to get the jump on Batgirl (Not the charging one, as he's down), then he bolted from the vent, sword extended and pounced upon him, ignoring any pleas for mercy and he leaped up, landing on his gut, then stabbing the sword through his chest and straight into the Militia Soldiers Heart and for good measure, twisted the blade before removing it, cleaning it and sheathing it, then turning to Batgirl.

 

"Expecting me?" He asked.
