| [Introduction]
Batman: Rise of a Demon is actually a prequel set in the Jocks Vs. Nerds storyline. But it follows the story of my character Demonar and the dark knight Batman! Set a year before the series, Batman decides to take a break from crime fighting. Not a single crime was in sight for the summer. Robin was off still investigating never wanting to rest with the Batwoman with him. Little did Bruce, Tim, and Barbara know that a new criminal rises with a new evil plan. Demonar, disguised his name as Ranomed to hide from society. His origin came from Italy, Vatican City to be precise and all info on him wasn't even included in the medical records in the city. His name was originated in Italy. Now in Gothom, he plants to spread his city wide criminal empire. |
Fleeing from Italy, and entering the urban world Ranomed, also known as Demonar, plans for a secret base under Gothem. An old abandon subway would do, or an old water treatment plant, anything would do. "Ahh Gothom... City of a life time... A time... For a little revenge." he said to himself. Just as the flight officer ordered everyone to exit the plane, Demonar vanishly fled behind the plane and out through the cargo hold where he stole one of the most precious Arabian Items that was suppose to be held in the Gothom museum. "Now lets make myself a little cash first." The villians of Gotham had no idea what had come to their not-so-fair city. They were busy trying to deal with the waves of chimera immergrants, many arriving from their reeducation camps in Europe, the Rouges were finding it hard to commit crime when the citizens are super soilders. Prof. Jonathan Crane AKA The Scarecrow was testing his new fear gas formula on a suburban neighborhood full of all kinds of different chimera. "An entire acre of fear-crazed beasts," Scarecrow said wickedly rubbing his hands together "I wonder if they will revert to their primitive natures and begin to tear each other apart! It will be just like something out of a H.G. Wells novel!" With that he began to spread his fear gas from house to house, poisoning the residents inside, not every resident of Bella Vista acres was a chimera though there were four or five human familes among the animal people and that only excited Crane's diabolicol heart even more, he wanted to see if the humans would be devoured by the beast folk. Soon there was a whole mess of screams and roars and growls and bellows and screeches a full blown riot was soon underway. But Scarecrow didn't get to enjoy it very long, for one had not succumbed to the fear! a Utahraptor-girl, had been smart enough not to breathe in the fear gas when she saw the scarecrow coming, she knew he indended to scare the whole neighborhood to their deaths so the Raptor-child began to stalk her nemisis The Scarecrow chuckled though to hear the creatures screams. It was very amusing. The Raptor girl watched as he headed off to another house. She couldn't stand by and let him do that! But it was the SCARECROW everyone knows about. But without hesitation, the Raptor girl ran up to stop him. "Scarecrow stop!" she yelled. The Scarecrow tripped almost and turn back to see the raptor girl standing and shaking. He chuckled and took out a net gun. "Smart little girl! But once I capture you you'll won't want to hold that breath anymore!" he said. The Raptor girl squealed and ran off thinking she was crazy to go up against him. A human boy who was also holding his mouth ran out to spot Scarecrow chasing her. "Velma!" he called out running. The Scarecrow shot his gun in which a giant bullet flew out from. It poofed and released a net and caught both the Raptor girl and the human. "Gah! James! Why did you come?!" she yelled. The boths truggled in the net and the Scarecrow was towering right above them. "Now open wide and taste fear!" he said. Just then, a shuriken shaped as a bat flew right infront of the Scarecrow and exploaded sending him backwards. Another shuriken flew and freed the two kids. When James and Velma looked up, they saw Robin and the Bat Woman ontop of a roof. "Ya know Scarecrow, sometimes your old scemes never get new. Especially to Chimera." said Tim Drake. The Robin. Barbara the Batwoman chuckled and leaped down from the roof with Robin. "Got anything new for us this time? The wolves, bears big cats and other large beasts had caught his scent, mad with fear they decided to chase him. Scarecrow soon found himself running from a stampede of ten to twenty fear-crazed chimera "Do you think we should help him?" Robin asked "Or let the chimera do the helping for us?" "Don't worry." Batwoman said "We'll rescue him...eventualy." "Help help help HELP HELP!!!" he yelled. Robin and Batwoman laughed and watched as the Chimera tried to climb the tree to get to him. (Well.. I don't think they have thumbs. XD) James and Velma looked at Robin and the Batwoman were both amazed and excited. Scarecrow was mad as all hell that his costume pants were ruined and that when Robn and Batwoman hualed him off to jail all the other crimmanals would see he wore white boxers with red hearts on them! "Can my day get any more humiliating?" He whined. Meanwhile Demonar, stalked the lonely alleys of Gotham, he saw the moon, the glowing heavenly moon white as snow in the late November night. Demonar felt ominous about the moon, he knew many chimera worshiped it, It also made him think about his parents a human and a dragon chimera (Which one was the mother and which one was the father?) He remembered back strangely, he actually remember his birth. Born into the world, and the cause of his mother's death. She was in Cardiac Arest and died instantly, none of the doctors knew what happened. Demonar was just like any other being Chimera or Human, but cruel as man can be with their fanatical ideas and hate drove him to hate as well. Hating both humans and chimera. He remembered the day one fanatical religiouse doctor tried to kill him in his sleep because of his fear of him being an actual demon. His father however saved him by attacking the doctor. Unfortuneatly they both were killed when they fell down a set of stairs. Demonar actually saw it as he heard their fight. Both their bones were broken. No one knew what actually happened! It was funny though, that Demonar was a witness to a crime when he was born. But that scarred image left him filled with hatred and lonlyness. What if he was a demon? How come he can actually remember it all when he was born that same day? The only people he doesn't hate were his mother and father. He believed that he held the images of them. His mother's beautiful face, his father's muscular body, her voice and his strength. His wings and her smarts. But but if people call him a demon, then he should be one right? And if so, where would he find a book to show him how to be a true demon? But, he wouldn't for his parents's sake and losing his vengence against people for them. When he snapped back to reality, his eyes glowed dark red and anger gritted at his teeth. He smashed the nearest wall next to him making his fist bleed. A small hole was left in that wall. As he walked down the ally a couple of street thugs blocked his path. "Hey. You. This is OUR allyway and the toll for using it is 50 dollars. If you don't have any then we will take whatever from you." one said. Demonar looked up and snorted. "Then I guess you won't get paid well if you want to listen to a little proposition I have to make. If your interested in joining." he said. The Street Thugs walked closer and were shown into a light under a lamp post. They were all hybrid as well. Demonar think this would be an excellent oppertunity to get more followers for a criminal empire. He could tell these thugs been off on a bad start in childhood like he. Outcasts. Maybe this could be the break he was looking for. "I know you. Your like me. Hybrid, outcasts, and relying only on crime. But what if, a criminal like me, offers you a chance to join me as I start my own organization? I will pay handsomely to each of you if you accept." he said smirking. The T-Rex sniffed Demonar "You smell of Europe." He grunted "You from Italy?" Demonar sneered "Let us not talk of origin stories, it is not the time or the place." The other hybrid thug a Chinese-type dragon who was a Type A hybrid meaning he could shapeshift between being perfectly human and perfectly dragonish was more suspious "I don't beileve a word you say forgener!" He hissed "Long-Tong-Tong budges for neither man nor beast!" "Oh, don't be like that Long," The T-Rex said "How many other hybrids are we going to meet tonight?" "Well lets see.... If I remember correctly mos hybrids in Gothem are often Pariahs. But I am neither man nor beast. I am both. Like you, this tall one and the other. Think you won't budge for no one? What about those just like you?" he said. The Chinese dragon looked down and growled under his breath. "There are lots like us... If you and I work together everyone we can be better then average street thugs! And we can take revenge on those who shun us out!" The other hybrid, a gryphon hybrid human with wings and hind paws, twitched his nose. "Revenge eh? Can I raid the school at night, rob the banks and museums and find better things to do then mugging?" he asked. "Anything! You won't be hated any longer if you finally let yourself loose! Who needs anyone to tell you what to do?" Meanwhile Scarecrow was being dragged back to Arkham, most of the other rouges were fast asleep but one or two were still up. 'If there is a God' Scarecrow thought to himself 'than he will show mercy on me now and not subject me to...' "AHHAHAHAHHA!" A cackling laugh echoed throught the asylum "...Joker." Scarecrow said with despair "What's the matter Straw Hat?" Joker taunted "Poor Jonny-boy gone and ripped his trousers?" "Shut up." Crane muttered as the gaurds shoved him into his cell. "Think nothing of it though! Because I have a plan." he said. The Scarecrow looked back and shrugged. "Really? What kind?" he asked. The Joker smirked his usual smiled and laughed. "Why a new escape plan of course! Though it will have to be a while..." After three days in Arkham, Scarecrow realized he was slowly going mad. If I don't get out of here soon I will lose my mind! That evening when they were being fed Scarecrow noticed a small piece of folded paper tucked into his mashed potatoes. He carefully unfolded it after the guard had left. The escape is tonight! Be ready when you hear the screaming. Scarecrow felt a shiver go through him. Would it really happen? After lights out he lay on his bunk, waiting, hoping. If this is a joke I will kill him! But around 2am he smelled smoke, then heard the screams: Fire! Fire! The guard unlocked his door. "Hurry up!" the guard said. "To the exercise yard!" The yard was full of inmates milling around. Some of the crazier ones were acting out in horrifying ways, screaming and jumping up and down. The guards had their hands full keeping everybody together. Smoke billowed from the windows of Building C - then flames licked the sky. The sirens of arriving firetrucks added to the noise and confusion. Suddenly Joker was tugging Scarecrow's elbow. "Hahaha! Burn, baby, burn! Come with me!" After a few hours of running, many were arguing and yelling at the Joker why he set fire to the prison and got them out instead of himself. It wasn't really like him. "Well lets see. Its been a LONG time since we last caused an epic crime. And I think, its time we bound together to take care of Robin and Batwoman! Ol Batsy has been cooped up in his lair thinking this City can handle itself. But its always Robin and Batwoman to play as the supporting role." he explained. The Joker smiled wierdly and chuckled. "So we group together and defeat the Batman and his sidekicks!" Everyone began to cheer and rooted for the Joker. They all agreed to follow his plan. Meanwhile, Demonar sold the stolen gem which was worth over half a million in the black market. He bought himself a mansion that would act as a 2nd hide away as a civilian. And his first hide away the abandoned Subeway as his crime HQ. "Alrighty boys! Im sure you all heard of the Gothem annual Chimera intermarriage festivle. I know you all know that the party supports interspecies marriage for humans and chimera. So, our new plan is to surround the festivle from the inside and hold everyone hostage. For a huge amount of ransom." he said. The Chinese dragon scuffed and asked, "What kind of Ransom?" Demonar tapped his finger and smiled. "Why a million dollars and an experimental mind manipulation device. It can do anything from mind reading to control. But if we moddify it with a chimera scientist we might be able to work it to control Chimera everywhere. We'll need more followers like this, useing this device to get them to join us." "Hey! Hey Velma!" called out James in the school hallway. Velma smiled and ran over towards James. "Your going too?" she asked. "Yeah I am! I always like Chimera a whole lot. I just wanted to support everyone's decision on Intermarriage." Velma giggled and nodded. "Yeah. Luckly we GOT to go anyways since mom and dad didn't know what happened three days ago." As the night of the Intermarriage Festival began James and Velma walked side by side. James knew the two of them were getting strange looks from both humans and chimera, all the onlookers immiteadly assumed the two of them were on their way to the Festival, they were right of course but James felt that the people were assuming they were already a married couple "What's the matter with you?" Velma said. James made a Huh? face at her. "What do you mean?" "You're all slumped down like you did something bad. Are you ashamed of me?" "Of course not. It's just that everybody is staring at us. They probably think we're married." Velma started laughing. "You are sooo paranoid! Hahaha! Nobody is staring at us. And so what if they thought we were married?" Velma hugged his arm. "Would that be so bad?" "But we're not married!" James said, trying to pull away. Velma unsheathed her raptor claws so they caught his shirt, but she was grinning. "You're not getting away from me." James stopped trying to pull away and smiled. It always made him smile when Velma got that big toothy raptor grin on her face. "You're a goofball," he said. "There's the festival!" Velma said. "Ooooo, look at all the lights!" Her huge raptor eyes glittered with light reflections. And Bruce was finally dragged into the festivle. Tim and Barb had tried all day to get him out of the mansion. "Finally you decided to Show up bat." said Tim. Bruce smiled a bit and walked with the two towards the festivle. Mainly everyone was there. "Its nice for them to celebrate a day like this. Humans need to spend time with Chimera's in festivles too you know?" said Barbara. "Yeah. But you'll find most hybrids around here. Not the good kinds in some places." said Bruce. He called his three henchmen over. Without Demonar's knowladge Joker and the Rouges were also at the fastival planning the same thing Demonar huddled with his three henchmen, Long-Tong-Tong, the Chinese dragon shapeshifter; Tugalug, with the T-Rex head; and Garth, the Gryphon hybrid. "Garth," Demonar said. "Do you have the stink bombs ready?" "Ready, boss. I'll fly overhead and drop them to cause a panic." Tugalug gnashed his teeth. "I don't like this plan." "Don't worry mate. Those bomb's are probably one of the least things these people will worry about." he said. Tug shook his head and sighed. "No I mean, where we gonna escape when the Gothem police arrive? We'll be trapped even if the plan succsseds." he said. Demonar smiled and took out a little orb. "Leave that to me. Smoke bombs will do the quick escape." Meanwhile, Bruce and Barbara were dancing and Robin Tim walked around to find where most of the snacks are. Bruce was lucky he didn't came in as the batman. The bat Chimera would be clamoring all over him. He still has that feeling even now. "Hey Bruce. Ease up. They don't know its you." she said chuckling. "James?" Velma asked innocently "Yeah?" James asked "That promise to me you made when we were little, you will marry me right?" "I will. I always will Velma." he said nuzzling her. "When I make a promise I'll make that promise come true." Velma blushed and kissed James on the cheek. Robin was walking around until he spotted the two teenage couples. "Well well if it isn't the two love birds from three days ago." he said chuckling. Scarecrow looked slighly uncomfortable "Joker." He whisperedm in an annoyed tone "Coulden't we have waited for me to repair my trousers before we went on a crime spree?" "Quit your eternal whining Strawman!" Joker snapped "We won't have to worry once I spike the punch with giggle gas!" Bruce glided around the dance floor with Barbara. She had her head on his shoulder. "What is it, Bruce? You seem a little nervous." "Something doesn't feel right in here," he said. "You know that feeling you get just before all hell is about to break loose?" "Yes... A little. Though I think you should settle." she said. Bruce looked around with his eyes searching around the audience. "Well, in case you didn't know, I hid my costume under my civilian clothing." he said. Barb chuckled and looked back at Robin who was talking to the kids. "You too eh? Tim insisted on keeping his Robin costume under his clothes as well." "I don't know who the hell this freak is but he's treading on our toes!" Riddler wennt back and told Joker who was furious! "What!?" He nearly screamed "Me being beaten to my own game by some reptilan freak-job!?" "Hey!" Killer Croc snarled "No offense Croc." Joker hushed the mutant Demonar had timed his plan to go into effect at midnight. Joker had timed HIS plan to go into effect at midnight. Evil has a fondness for midnight. Batman was well aware of that fondness and as midnight approached he got more and more antsy. Barbara tried to settle him. "For goodness sakes, Bruce. You're bouncing around like a coffee junkie. What's got into you?" Batman's eyes were trying to look everywhere at once. "My intuition. Something wrong here. I sense it." "I knew it! Barb, take cover beside the crowd." called out Bruce. Barb held onto Bruce's hand and gave him the look. The 'like hell I am. I am more reliable to handle it with no gear' "Come on Bruce, let me help!" she called out. Robin took the two kids who began coughing and took them towards the gate. "Bat! I think trouble soon started! I think its the Joker and some band of criminals. And there's also a group of hybrids too, not the good ones!" he said. Joker was coughing due to Demonar's bomb he never saw Batman's fist flying to him him with such force that it knocked some of his teeth loose! Batman was about to punch the Joker again when the net fell on him. He struggled to get free. Demonar laughed. "Looks like I caught a little fishie..." The breath went out of Demonar as Robin slammed into his back. "Don't count your fishies before they hatch!" Robin used his knife to cut Batman free from the net. When they looked up Demonar and the Joker were nowhere in sight. "It ain't over yet," Batman said. "We still have to make the fat lady sing." "Huh?" Robin said. Batman flicked his hand. "Google it when this is over. Come on! We've got some bad guys to take care of!" Long Tong grabbed hold of Demonar's shoulder shaking. "Demonar! What happened?! The plan backfired!" he called out. Demonar coughed a bit and began to giggle from the Joker's gas bomb. Long Tong knew Demonar wouldn't laugh at a situation like this, so it must had been the Joker. "eheheh! It..It was..It ahahah! It was the Joker I heard so much in America about!" he said laughing. "Imagene!" He said "Those stinking half-animal freaks trying to steal our gig away from us!" "Right!" the Riddler added. "Riddle me this: If Demonar is the Number One villain in Gotham, then who is The Joker?" "Shut up!" the Joker said. "I am Number One and always will be. Put on your thinking hats, gents, and let's solve this little demon problem." Meanwhile, Demonar was huddling with Long Tong Tong, Tugalug, and Garth. "Listen up, boys... and stop giggling, Garth!" "I can't help it, Boss! Heeheeheehee!" With the back of his hand Demonar slapped Garth across the face. Garth shut up and looked serious for a moment. "You know.. I.. Don't really have the guts to say it... But we have to retreat for now! Our plans been foiled! We'll have to seperate so this Batman doesn't catch on to us!" he said. Long Tong picked up Demonar and ran off out of the park. "I'll Carry Demonar since he won't be in much good condition! Tugalug you take Garth!" he yelled. Thug picked up Garth who once again laughed from the gas. Joker covered his mouth with his hand as he watches them run off. "Looks like we'll have to retreat for now too! Come on! Lets get a move on!" he said. The smokes began to clear up, Batman, Robin and Batwoman had been able to catch most of the villians that didn't escape. Scarecrow, Poison Ivy and a few others. "Well. Looks like we cleared the lot." said Batman. The sirens blared from the scene and the Gothem police arrived right in the scene. The heroic trio got away leaving the few villians left behind. James and Velma had been able to recover from the gases, but they were even more trouble when their parents find out where they went tonight. "Let's not fret..." James said wiping away her tears "Things will turn out all right in the end." He walked her back to her house, however he was created by a pair of snarling jaws and twitching claws of such that had not been seen since Jurassic Park. "Mum!" Velma cried "Pop! What's the matter with you?!" "Don't play innocent with us!" Mother Raptor said "We know everything!" Let's leave this domestic situation to anouther writer and cut to Scarecrow and Poison Ivy... As they were being carted away to Arkham, Scarecrow took off his mask and rubbed his aburn hair "I'm getting to old for this nonsense." He sighed "How old are you anyway?" Poison Ivy asked "That is none of your buissness!" Scarecrow snapped "But if you must know I'm still in my early forties." "Scarecrow..." Pamela asked "Have you ever...considered having a child?" James put up his hands. "We didn't do anything, sir! There was a little excitement at the Festival and that's why we're late." "A little! It's been on all the news media: Riot at the Festival! Gotham's Worst Villains Go On Rampage!" Velma's Pop grabbed James by the shoulders and shook him until his teeth rattled. "How could you put my daughter in such danger?" Velma grabbed her Pop's arm. "Pop! It's not James' fault! Please don't hurt him! We didn't know things would get so wild at the Festival." Velma's Mum tapped her foot. "I'll tell you one thing, young lady. That is the LAST Festival you will ever go to." "And to top that off, your not going anywheres with James again!" yelled his pop. Velma gasped and trembeled a bit. Her eyes narrowed and growled at her own parents. They were taken aback by her as she let out a yell. "Its not his fault!" she screamed. Velma grabbed James and ran off with him into the street. Her parents were shocked and worried as they called for Velma to come back. Back at Arkham. Scarecrow looked dumbfounded as he stared back at Pamela. He made a long duuuhhh... noise which made her repeat again. After the second time, Scarecrow got scared, like surprised like and fell behind. "Whoa... ahaha... Ha... Pam... I...You...I.. I... Are you in love with me?" he asked. Pamela grabbed hold on the Scarecrow's hand and smiled. "Actually... I have... For quite sometime. Want to tell me your name? I told you mines." she said. Scarecrow looked up and smiled as he told her his name. "The name's Jonathan Crane." Jonathan why she had chosen him out of all of Gotham's rouges to be the father of her child...He knew she hated Two-Face because he caused a rare flower to go extinct, and he knew she despised Joker because well...he was just a jerk. 'But why skinny cadavourus Jonathan Crane?' He wondered 'Why not Mad Hatter or Riddler?' But he didn't ask her about that, insted he asked the second the thing that came to his mind "How can we have a child?" He asked "When you can not get pregnant?" "I've found a loophole." Pamela said smugly "By cloning." "You mean those plant clones? But they only live for three days..." "No listen!" She said "I'll take your blood and put it inside a plant, the child will grow connected to the plant like unbilical cord...The child will be perfectly human though it may have resistance to toxins." Scarecrow and Pamela grew silent for a moment as the gates of Arkham loomed ahead. "All right," Scarecrow said. "If we ever get out of Arkham I'll do the child thing with you." "No," Pamela said. "We can't wait that long. You're already 45 and I'm *cough* not getting any younger. I'll have the baby in Arkham." "That's impossible!" Pamela smiled. "Just leave it to me. I'll get myself assigned to a gardener job. I just need one thing from you. You'll need to steal one of those giant mayonaise jars from the dining hall kitchen." "That's all you need?" Pamela grinned. "Oh yeah. Also some of your blood." "It sounds complicated. I hope you know what you're doing. I have this vision of a hideous monster growing in a mayonaise jar in your garden." "Don't worry! I've put a lot of thought into this. He'll look just like you." Meanwhile, Bruce was back in his mansion in the bat cave. He watched police moniters and criminal records. he seen no one that matched the criminals back in that festivle except the ones he caught. "Working overtime Master Wayne?" said his Butler coming down. "You aren't going to grow anything in that jar are you?" Jonathan asked "No, I'm not growing the child in the jar if that's what you mean." She said "I'm going to grow the plant it this jar that I'm going to put your blood in the plant will place itself inside my womb and grow with the child." "Well you better be quiet about it." Jonathan said "Whatever you do don't wake up the guards." "I don't intend to wake up the guards," Pamela said, "but Jonathan?" "Yes?" he said. "I need a lot of your blood. Do you think you can stand to lose so much?" "For you I would give every drop." "Don't be stupid. I don't want to kill you having this child. Please tell me if you start feeling weak and faint and I will use less blood. Better a small stunted child than a dead father. "How long till he grows?" he asked. Pamela watched as the blood dropped. She went into full detail about it with Jonathan rather than having it simple. "For a plant it would take a few months. When the plant grows, our child will be in the bud. Problem is, he would grow too fast at a young age. When he reaches in his teens he would stop growing quick. This is because most plants have been growing fast for a long time. Seeing human DNA in Plant DNA mix would make a combustion in the age. Like example... A tree starting small grows big in after a few months." she said. Pamela sighed, now that was was out of the way. She looked to the plants all around and said, "Darlings can you help me?" The plants crawled all over her and implanted child and bud inside her womb. Meanwhile a new gaurd was coming to town...Lyle Bolton... Demonar and Garth and Tugalug sat in their new hideout playing Scrabble. Garth yawned. "This is boring as hell. When are we going to see some action?" Demonar played B-L-O-O-D on the board. "Twenty-two points. We'll see some action when I'm ready to see some action." Tugalug played D-A-M-N-E-D off of Demonar's D. "Thirty points. Can you at least give us a hint, boss, as to when that might be? I don't like hiding in a hole like a little scared mouse." Lyle was sent to Arkham asylum to guard the recent breakouts that has been happening for sometime. A Chimera Gryphon girl chewed on her pencil guarding the outside post until she saw him come up. "You bird! Where's the chief? Im Lyle the new guard. Think of letting me in?" he said. The gryphon girl chriped quietly and frightened a bit as she opened the gate for him. Lyle took out a cigarette and light a smoke. Scarecrow was asleep in his chamber, exsuasted after draining himself of blood. Pamela was thinking of a way she could get both herself and Jonathan out of Arkham before the child would be born... "I'll just cooperate with the Parole Staff." She thought "Tell them I'm sane and sound and they'll let me out..." When Jonathan was stronger, he got an inmate's job at the snackbar so he could talk to Pamela from time to time. She was in the women's section and he was in the men's section, but the snack bar was between the two sections and served both men and women. The inmates got points for good behavior which they could exchange for snacks and treats. "I'll take a Peppermint Patty today," Pamela said. Jonathan smiled. "You earn more good behavior points than anyone else." The guard Lyle was standing about 20 feet away, watching the two lovebirds chatter. The corner of his lip went up in a snarl of disgust. "Those two are too happy here," he muttered to himself. A new plan hatched in his head, though not one of his members would like it... He would have to purpously turn himself in, and sneak Hybrids outside! Meanwhile Velma and James had run away to the forest, they found and abandoned cabin at the edge of a swamp, and they lived mostly off edible berries and nuts for the time being... "As much as I'm enjoying living out here in the woods." James said "You do know we're inevitably going to have to make our way back to civilization." "I suppose..." Velma said "We can't live like this forever!" James said Velma sighed and looked to the North, than she saw something that made her turn pale She saw Demonar walking through the forest! Heading to Arkham! She grabbed James' arm. "Look! Do you see what I see?" "Are we going to sing Christmas songs now?" James said. "Quit joking! Look! It's a hideous demon-like thing walking through the woods!" "I think you've been eating too many acorns-" Velma grabbed his head by the ears and pointed it toward Demonar. "Look!" "Oh my God!" James said. "What is that thing? ... Wait a minute. Wasn't that one of the costumes at the Festival? Holy smokes! It ain't no costume, is it? That's a real demon! We better go tell somebody about this." "Uhh... Velma... I don't think this guy is turning himself in for no reason..." he said. Velma turned around and watched as the half breed walked out the forest and down towards the Road of Arkham. "What the heck is this guy doing?" she said to herself. "This guy suerly isn't turning himself in for that incident! This guy is up to something..." James grabbed hold of Velma's arm. "Lets find that Robin dude! If any hero in Gotham who goes on patrol reguraly like this its him!" James saw that there were a few vending machines nearby so, he took out his wallet and bought a flavored water for Velma and a Diet Pepsi for himself. "Thanks." Velma panted and she lapped up the liquid "Do you remember when we first met? In middle school?" "I'll always remember it." James said "I was very akward and shy in Middle School because I had to wear glasses and the other boys would pick on me often." "One day someone shoved me into my locker, I coulden't get out...and that's when..." "I remember." Velma said "That's when I discovered you on my way to class, you told me you had been shoved in your locker, I was so niaive back than I didn't understand humans as well a I do now." "And I said 'don't ask me how just get me out of here' and you took your claw and..." "...Slashed the the locker open." Velma completed the story. Meanwhile in Arkham, Jonathan and Pamela were discussing what to do. "Just a few days more and we'll be able to complete our compentcy hearing." Pamela said "Than we'll be out." She hesitated "Jonathan..." She said "We're going to have to give up crime." Jonathan had been expecting this "I know." He said "I think the most difficult part will be explaining to Joker that wer don't want to be part of his games anymore but if we explain we have a child on the way..." "NO!" Pamela nearly shrieked "We can't mention the child!" She took a deep breath "The Joker and I are not on the best terms..." She said "I was the one who tried to protect Harley Quinn from him and keep her away from his clutches but now I have something more vulnerable than Harley..." "I understand." Jonathan said "I know how the Joker can be...Very well I'll go to Joker myself and tell him that you and I don't want to be crimanals any longer that we just want to lead normal lives, he will most likely be upset but I think I can outwit him if he has anything pulled up his sleeves." Demonar entered the Visitor Center at Arkham. That's the unguarded building that lies outside the main facility. Arkham itself is locked up tighter than Alkatraz. But you can walk right into the Visitor Center. Arkham walked up to the receptionist and said. "I want to be an inmate here." The receptionist giggled, thinking he was making a little joke. "Who did you want to visit, sir?" Demonar growled. "I don't want to visit anyone. I want to live here." "Live here?" Now the receptionist wasn't sure if he was joking because his face looked hideously serious. "I think you better talk to my supervisor." She pushed a button on her desk. "Mr. Lemonte? I have a problem." "Hey Lyle! New guy we got a new catch!" called out one. Lyle Bolton walked over and smirked at Demonar. "I know you... Heard you on the news before in that festivle. Let me think.... Turned yourself in? Finally admitted that you were no match for the Gothom security force! Good. Hahah! Take him away" he said. The guards rolled him off with Demonar smirking thinking how easy this will be. Using his claws he ripped it open. Than he heard a strange sound! It sounded like a woman and dragon weeping at the same time "A hybrid!" He said James got a second Pepsi from the vending machine. "This is nice, Velma, sitting here drinking Pepsi and remembering the old days." Velma smiled. "I know what you mean. Who cares about telling Robin anything." James jumped up. "I forgot all about that! We've got to find Robin and tell him about-" Velma put her hand over his mouth. "Oh just calm down. It's not important. Do you remember when-" "Stop it, Velma! You're just afraid to get involved in this new situation. But it's our duty to find Robin and tell him about that demon." Velma stopped and sighed. "Sorry about that James... Its just, well.... its just I was a bit afraid of what would happen afterwards..." she said. James walked over and hugged Velma and soothed her. "Don't be Velma. Remember I always said I'd protect ya as well? You always protect me." he replied smiling. Meanwhile Demonar had been realeased from his cell, and allowed to join the other inmates for lunch. He looked among the sea of faces, searching for hybrids, new followers for him. He saw a very small woman sitting in a corner, at first he thought she was just a human, but than he saw her ears, She had the ears of a wolf! Demonar grinned, he found his first follower from Arkham! He mosyed his way up to where she was sitting and made himself comfortable "I see your sad." He said "I know how you feel, It must be very lonely being a hybrid in a world of men and beasts..." "I'm not a hybrid." She said "What?" Demonar was confused "I'm not a hybrid." She said quitly "I was never a chimera either I'm an expermental creature." "Experiment" "Yes." She said "I was born an ordanary wolf cub but you see there are these scientists in Japan who tried to create a perfect woman from animals I was Project Wolf." "So you were once a wolf but you geneticly engeneered into a human woman?" "Yes." "What's your name." "I have no name but the Scientists used to call me Sakura..." (Remember Mary Sue from the first Jocks VS Nerds Campfire? Who was Momo's cousin I thought I would explore some of the failed experments before Japan perfected their creation) "Cherry Blossom," Demonar said. "Yes, that's what my name means in English," Sakura said. "Do you speak Japanese?" "No. I only know a few words. Cherry Blossom is a good name for you because you are as beautiful as the flower." Sakura looked calmly at Demonar. "I am not some innocent girl to be wooed with such talk. How does having the ears of a wolf make me look like a flower?" Demonar narrowed his eyes. "Forgive me for trying to be complimentary. Perhaps Cherry Blossom is a totally inappropriate name for you. Perhaps Dog Lady would be a better one." Sakura kept her same calm look but with just the hint of a smile. "Your tongue is as sharp as your ridiculous wing tips. Why is someone so hideously ugly as you in Arkham? Have they run out of insane people to incarcerate and now they must protect society from the ugly people as well?" "I could be crazy about you." "Yes, you are crazy. We agree. Now go away." Demonar had finished his lunch in three bites. "It was a pleasure meeting you," he said as he left Sakura's table. "Hey flyboy! Watch where ya going! AHAHAH!" he said jokingly. Demonar jumped a little as he remembered the Joker from the festivle. "Wait... Arn't you that clown from the festvle?" he asked. "I ain't no party clown if that's what your asking. Im the Joker! Joker as in, THE Joker! Villian of Gothem they call me! And I remember you too demon boy. Foiled my plans for brainwashing." "Hey clown that was my plan too! Except when that so called Batman showed up." The Joker gritted his teeth hearing the word Batman. "Ohh him! If he wasn't there our plans would had worked out anyways. As a matter of fact, he's been a bit 'batty' ever since he took 'vacations' AHAHAH!" He looked around, back to Sakura who was sitting by herself not doing anything... Demonar was not going to give up his serch for other hybrids, he saw one sitting next to Poison Ivy. It was anouther female, Brontosaus Hybrid, Like Long-Tong-Tong she was a Type A Hybrid alternating between being perfectly human and perfectly chimera at will. She was in her Dinosaur form so everyone would know who she was. Demonar made his way up to her, Poison Ivy felt uncomfortable and left "Thanks for driving her away." The Bronto Hybrid said in a nasly Brooklyn accent "I wasen't sure how much I could stand her talking about her plants!" "What you in for?" Demonar asked "Killing my last boyfriend." She said as she took a sip of her algae drink (Given the endearing name of 'baby puke') "He coulden't handle my true form when I revealed I was hybrid." "What's your name?" Demonar asked "Topaz Suarus" She said "But most folk call me Jewel. I'm the best gossip in the asylum, I know everything about everybody." "What do you know of that She-Wolf over there?" "Oh her?" Jewel raised an eyebrow "She's been here since she was twelve." "TWELVE?!" Demonar gasped "Yeah, Some Japanese folks dropped her off her six years ago, she had a sign around her neck saying she was a Bio-Tech Experment created by fusing human egg to wolf sperm, created as a killing machine, The sign said they left her at Arkham because they hoped it would be the best place to hold someone as dangerous as her." "Has she ever...Killed anyone?" Jewel snorted "Not to my knowladge." She said "If anything she acts more like a puppy than a wolf...The only thing biting about her is her sarcasm." Meanwhile Velma and James were very busy trying to find Robin...than Velma stopped "I smell something..." She said "Is it a villian?" James asked "I smell blood!" Velma said "And steel! And I hear the sound of a chain dragging on the ground!" Just as she said that a piece of chain flew right at her head! Velma ducked in time... A humongous man walked into veiw. "Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it is confusion." "What kind of gibbrish is that?" James asked confused "It's scripture dumbass!" The huge man said "You know the Bible! I am The Hunter and I purge the city of all the filthy beasts who defile the men and women of Gotham City!" "We saw a demon headed for Arkham and we think he's up to no good," James said. "Of course he's up to no good!" Hunter roared. "He's a demon!" "What should we do?" "Headed to Arkham, you say? I can't get in that place. They know I would try to kill every filthy beast they keep in there. Why they are keeping those scum creatures alive I don't know. I'd like to drop an atomic bomb on the place." "What do you do with that chain?" Velma said. "What do you think I do with it? It makes a good weapon." To demonstrate, the Hunter whipped the chain around a nearby sapling and yanked it out of the ground. "Of course, you have to be big and strong to use a chain. You can't be no little wimp like your boyfriend there." "Hey!" James said. Velma patted his arm. "Though, I think I made my first catch of the day!" he said. He whipped his chain and wrapped it around Velma. She let out a yell and screeched for James. "HELP!!! JAMES KYAAA!!!" she yelled. James ran up to The Hunter and tried to strike him. But he kept on dodging his attacks. "LET HER GO YOU BASTARD!" he yelled. He kept on swinging his arms at Hunter but made no success. The Hunter laid his foot on his chest and pushed him down. "Filthy wimpy child protecting a one and only beast? What such insolance." he said chuckling. Then out from behind, Robin swung down from the night sky and knocked Hunter towards the ground releasing Velma. "Robin!" Robin cracked his knuckles and smirked as he looked at Hunter. "You know what's really insolant? You. Who would ever think like you do Hunter?" he said. "Thank you Robin!" James said "You saved us again!" "No problom." Robin said he looked at Velma's wrist "You've been wounded!" He exclaimed "Just a little..." Velma said trying to hide her wrist from Robin "You really ought to see a doctor for that." Robin said "But I do carry first aid." He wrapped a bandage around her wrist Meanwhile at Arkham, Demonar listened to Jewel intently "Nobody pays attention to me hear because I'm a hybrid." Jewel said "But they underestimate me because I know everything about everybody!" "As I see." Demonar grinned "What have you heard lately?" "Poison Ivy is pregnant..." Jewel whipsered "That's juicy," Demonar said. "Who's the daddy?" "Since she hangs with the Scarecrow, I assume he is, but that's not 100% certain." Demonar filed the information away in his brain for later use. "What else can you tell me?" "Lots of stuff, but what can you do for me? I'm not the free information booth." "I thought you liked telling your gossip." Jewel squinted one eye. "Sure, I like telling it, but times are hard. Don't be all takey-takey and no givey-givey. Give me something in exchange." "How about more gossip?" Jewel laughed. "You think you know something I don't already know?" "I might," Demonar said. "Oh really? Well tell me." she said. Demonar chuckled and lifted a picture he cut from the newspaper. It was about an experimental brainwasher. It can control people's minds, brainwash them, and even persuade them with the utmost success. "No way. Where did you learn about that?" she asked. Demonar chuckled and rolled it up. "Well I don't think so. BUT! If I give you my information, would you give me yours?" Jewel tapped her chin a bit. (If she had a chin) and smiled. "You know what? I like your deal Demonar. I'll give you info you need. But ya have to specifically tell me what it is." "Well... Im looking to see if there's anymore hybrids in here." Jewel hummed a bit and think for a bit. "Yeah... yeah I know a lot here... That actually ain't much surprising but no one talks about it." Demonar smiled. "Good! Then we have a deal! Now here's what I know about this project...." "Oh really." Jewel said "It was created by the enemy army..." Demonar said in a whisper "They used it on captured chimera soilders..." Meanwhile James and Velma had finished telling Robin their story... Robin yawned. "Let me get this straight. You're out in the woods. You see a demon walking. He looks suspicious to you. You run like Hell looking for me. Why?" Velma's eyes grew big. "You're Gotham's top crimefighter! Why shouldn't we look for you?" Robin made a gesture that she shouldn't yell so loud. "Yes. Fine. I'm a crimefighter. Where's the crime? Walking through the woods? Is that a crime?" James frowned. "We thought we were helping you. Don't you want to know what the villains are up to?" Robin rolled his eyes. "Do you know how many villains there are in Gotham? Do you know how many times a day some excited citizen comes up to me or Batman and says, 'I just saw villain so-and-so doing something!'?" Velma put her hands on her hips and leaned back. "I bet Batman has a better attitude about it than you do." "Geez give me a break! I just got done a ruined festivle yesterday and I have no clue what you guys are actually talking about." he said. James coughed a bit and looked at Robin. "Robin im sure you would remember a hybrid human at that festivle correct? Human with wings, tail, talons, and eyes reptilian like! He just walked through this forest towards Arkham. We thought you might investigate it. Back at Arkham, Demonar continues to tell Jewel about the device. "Are you seriouse?! That's horrible! But damn that was good info." she said. Demonar cracked his neck a bit and tapped the table. "Well.... the original that was developed in WWIII was actually destroyed. A prototype was made after it. The one there is today, is its new edition." "Wow. That seems alot to take in. Controlling Chimera Soldiers wow. They could had ended the war and doom Independence and all. Ok now for my info. The Hybrids you know here are often located int he 2nd Prison wing. Wormtail, a mouse hybrid is the stealthiest criminal hybrid in gothem. He robbed more then over 50 stores in just 5 days! The only day his streak end was on the 6th day when Batman got him. There's another here that go's by the name of Ryu. A western dragon human hybrid. He has strength and power like you wouldn't believe and he's BIG! Not bigger then me of course. Then there's Hypno, a bat human hybrid. He can hypnotise others to fall asleep or make them do anything they want. His powers never work during the day though." 'So...' Riddler thought to himself 'That was his plan all along...' Riddler went and found Jonathan Crane who was returning to his cell "Jonny! Jonny!" Edward called Jonathan turned around glaring daggers at Edward "I told you never to call me that..." Edward waved his hand for silence "Remember the Dragon-hybrid we encountered at the festival?" Edward asked "Well he is here in Arkham and what's more he knows Pamela is pregnant!" Jonathan suddenly turned very very pale "Jonathan.." Edward said "After considering the brave new world we live in full of beasts and beast hybrids I think I want to do as you and Pamela are doing and...reform and give up crime." "Well I'm certainly not going to stop you." Jonathan said "Joker might though..." After talking with James and Velma Robin went back to his pad and collapsed into his favorite chair with a sigh. Then he got up and got a Dr Pepper from the fridge, picked up a Donald Duck comic book, and sat down again. "Oh that Donald!" he chuckled. But after a few minutes he threw the comic book down in disgust. "What am I doing? Those two sweet kids give me a crime tip and what do I do? Just toss it off. Am I getting so jaded? Where's the old excitement?" For a moment Robin felt even older than Batman. Then something flamed up in his eyes. "Dammit! Those kids deserve better from me! I'm going to Arkham and check out the situation there." "Excuse me Master Drake, but may I inquire to what it is that you are doing?" he asked. (I usually forget most of the Batman character names. ) Velma and James quickly hurried to the police station to tell the police what they had told Robin. Meanwhile The Hunter had woken up from the knock-out gas he took off his mask. The Hunter was...Lyle Bolton! His job at Arkham was his day job being the Hunter was his hobby Jonathan and Edward agreed that they would take turns protecting Pamela as best they could. This just meant that when one was asleep the other would be awake. And that whoever was awake would try to keep his eye on Demonar. It didn't take Demonar long to realize he was being watched. One night he approached Edward. "Why are you shadowing me? Everytime I turn around I see you somewhere nearby watching me. Do you have perverse sexual desires?" "Don't flatter yourself," Edward said. "I don't think it's possible to be so insane that someone as ugly as you could look attractive to me." "Then why are you my little shadow? Are you a spy?" "I'm not your shadow," Edward said. "You've been in Arkham so long you are getting paranoid." "I just got here a few days ago." "It doesn't take long," Edward said. "But I am not your enemy, I am your friend. I am watching out that nothing bad happens to you. There is a lot of anti-demon feeling in here. I wouldn't want an angry mob of inmates to kill you." Demonar's eyes narrowed. "I think you are giving me a lot of bull. I don't want to see you around me anymore." "Oh and Riddle me this... If whatever it is im interested in, is not what you think it is then I suggest you keep away. Besides im not staying here long." he said as he walked towards his cell. Edward meeped a bit feeling a bad vibration from him. It was as if he didn't care what reason he had for anyone to follow him but just as long they steer away from his path. Demonar plans to move at night and gather the Hybrids and escape Arkham. Edward walked away feeling frightened...He had a bad feeling about that hybrid. He turned to Pamela who was nursing a sickly plant "Pamela." Edward said "I've heard the parole board tommorow you'll be free!" "And Jonathan?" "I'm sorry to say but they will keep him here for three more days" Meanwhile James and Velma rested on a bench. They wondered what to do "We could always go home..." James said "And be seperated by my parents forever? No Thanks." Velma huffed Suddenly they saw the Joker! He was wandering around shooting giggle gas at random people "Uh oh," James said. "I hate that guy. He never takes anything seriously." "Let's get out of here," Velma said. "I don't want to giggle." They opened a random door and entered a strange place where they had no desire to giggle. Jonathan didn't like waiting three days after Pamela's release for his own release. Anything could happen in those three days. "Listen closely," he told her. "I want you to get a room in that little hotel near the Asylum and I want you to lock the door and stay there. Don't come out until I am released and come to get you." "But, Jonathan," she said. "I have to eat. I can't stay in the room for three days." "Have Room Service bring food to you. And always look through the peephole before you open the door." "I think you are worrying too much, Jonathan. I'll be okay." "If anyone coming up here asks, I was never here. Ok?" he asked. The Gryphon girl nodded. "Yes sir." They quickly ran out of the building they were hiding in and decided to risk the darkend alleys of Gotham... They tore through thne darkness hoping to lose Joker among the piles of cardboard boxes and dumpsters. Suddenly they heard the sound of barking dogs! They looked back to see two attack dogs were running after them! "Since when does Joker have dogs?" James asked "Who cares? Just run!" Velma said quickly They tried to find the end of the alley but they came across a dead end... Just than a large Dog-Man, a large white Dog-Man jumped down and landed on all fours! He growled at the non-anthro dogs and attacked them, biting and kicking, the two beasts fled and the white dog was one the worse for wear. "There you are!" The Dog-Man said turning to Velma and James "I'v'e been looking all over for you!" Velma reconyzed him "Mr. Onyx?" "You can call me Stone." The Dog said "You know him?" James asked "Well yes he's our next door neighbor." "Your parents asked me to look for you since they've been worried sick, fortunetly I'm a retriver so I always fetch." James and Velma looked at each other. "We have a problem with our parents," James said. "They don't want us to be together. If we go there then they will separate us." "Don't worry," Stone Onyx said. "They told me about your fears and they say they promise not to raise a fuss about that if you will just come home. All they ask is that you listen to what they have to say and give it some serious consideration. But they understand that you are going to live your own lives no matter what they say." "Well..." Velma said. "I guess if that's the way they feel now then we can go home. But if they try anything stupid we'll leave again." "Don't tell me," Stone said. "Tell your parents." "...Alright... we'll tell em..." she said. James patted her back and sighed. "And I also have to talk with my parents too... I bet they didn't even know I was there until Velma's parents called them too..." he said. All in all Pamela told Jonathan she wasen't going to obey everything he told her, she had a house somewhere in the Gotham Suburbs, a very lovely old house but there were not very many chimera living there and as a result some people were somewhat chimera-phobic of the idea of any chimera moving in. After Jonathan was released he followed her to the house, they were glad to be together again, she of course, made vegitable like food for him. She always cooks steamed or boiled vegetables. "You actually look a bit thick then you realize." she said chuckling. Jonathan looked down at his belly and laughed nervously. Back at Arkham, Demonar was becoming better and better friends with Jewel, or Topaz Saurus. He liked her face and listening to her talk whenever they could they got together for a chat. It was Saturday morning, when the Arkham TV Room was filled with cartoon watchers... Jewel was laughing at the TV. Demonar was looking at Jewel. "I like it when you laugh," he said. Jewel turned to him. "Do you?" She laughed some more. Demonar grinned. A laugh was beyond him, but he liked to grin and show his teeth. Some of them were very sharp, because he liked to file them to a needle point. He had to be careful which ones he sharpened so he didn't accidentally bite a hole in his lip. "Your teeth really sparkle," Jewel said. "Do you use Arkham toothpaste?" "No, not totally. I stole a box of baking soda from the kitchen and I mix that with the toothpaste plus a tiny bit of bleach I got from the laundry." Jewel laughed. "You're really into tooth care. But it works. Nobody in Arkham has teeth like yours - so white and shiny and... sharp." "I'll give you some of my special toothpaste mix," Demonar said. "And I can sharpen some of your teeth for you, if you like." Jewel gave him a sultry look. "I like!" "Just... Don't chomp so hard if I get my hand stuck in there..." he said nervously. Jewel giggled and shooked her head. "Im a herbivorbe. I eat only greens duh. Usually Pamela would make me a whole lot of em." she said. Demonar chuckled and looked back at Sakura. jewel arched her neck to where her head touched his shoulders. "Interested in her eh~?" she asked. Demonar nodded and jumped a bit hearing her comment. "Whoa whoa! Watch it! I don't like my privacy violated! And second, no. Why would I?" he said blushing. Jewel knew it and he couldn't deny it. She knows a lot. Back with Robin, it took him a while to swing through Arkham's forest. If this demonar character really did turn himself in for a purpose, then he would have to keep tabs on him. "Velma darling." Said her Mum "Don't worry about a thing we won't try to break up you and James again." Meanwhile Jonathan was consulting Pamela about her cooking "I admit Pamela that as a cook you can do what you know fairly well...But if this child is going to my clone than he can't possibly live on vegtable matter alone." "Than what do you suggest?" P "We can share the cooking," Jonathan said. "I'll do the meats. You do the veggies." "What about the dishwashing?" Pamela said. Jonathan put his hands up. "That's a little too much sharing." Pamela laughed. Because it was early in their relationship and they still liked each other very much. Funny how the same harmless joke a decade later would spark a violent argument. It was even more a case of first love with James and Velma. Neither one could do any wrong in the other's eyes. But Velma's parents thought James was totally unsuitable for her. And James's parents thought she was not right for him. Nevertheless, both sets of parents made promises to their respective children that they would not try to break them apart. At least, not in any obvious way, but you know how those subtle, unconscious ways can be. Velma noticed it more than James did. She thought the sooner she and James were away from their parents, the better off they would be. That's why she started dropping hints about marriage. When James realized what Velma was hinting at, he got just a little bit scared. He didn't even have a job! So he started dropping hints about how they should wait a while before they got married. And that's how James and Velma's first really serious disagreement began. Dropped hints. One night it all came out into the open. "Do you think you would ever want to marry me?" Velma said. James recognized the trap immediately, but he loved Velma. "Of course I would! I've always thought that someday we would get married when the time was right. I love you." Velma snuggled closer into James. "I love you too. I'm worried that my parents will take me away from you." "They promised not to break us up, remember?" Velma looked into his eyes. "They didn't promise not to move. I heard them talking about moving a thousand miles away. What then, James? How would we see each other?" James gulped. If this move thing was true then it really put the pressure on him to make a commitment. "Don't worry Velma... We might have to do something to make them stay..." he said. He let go and thought for a second until an idea popped straight into his mind! "Hey I know what we can do! We can, well, run off again but this time become superheros!" Velma took one long look and slapped James across the face. "Yeah... I knew you was gonna do that..." he replied blushing. Lyle Bolton strolled around Arkham's cell quarters watching the prisoners. Most of the guards down in this section were afraid because Demonar was in that area along with other Hybrids. Bolton wasn't afraid of any hybrid. The Joker, of course, was brought in once again still laughing maniacally. "You always cause trouble joker. These past 3-5 years of crime NEVER tires you does it?" said the guard. "You'll be spending time with the Hybrids for now. And don't even think of conversating with that hybrid neither. I saw a lot of em doing so." Velma's best friend at school was Ruby the pot belied pig-girl. She was a sympathetic lisenner as she listened to all of Velma's woes "You know Velma..." She said "There is a way..." "What do you mean?" Velma asked Ruby reached into her backpack and got out a smile vile "This is a transformation serum, Utahraptor version." She said "These are serums that have the power to turn humans into chimera." "Do you think James will...Want to be a dinosaur?" She asked "Why wouldedn't he?" Ruby snarked "He will have streangh speed and grace, just slip it into his lunch today." "But how does that help our situation if James turns into a raptor?" Velma said. "It just DOES, " Ruby said, with a shake of her head. Even though she was a pot-bellied pig girl, she had beautiful long blonde hair. Because it was her one good feature, she spent a lot of time on it. Her hair was as shiny as a shampoo commercial. She liked to shake her head and make her hair flow back in long beautiful waves, like a miniature ocean of blonde. "But really, Ruby," Velma said. "Exactly HOW would James becoming a raptor make anything better?" At Arkham, Lyle Bolton not only strutted around the hybrid section of the prison, he started taunting the inmates. "Hey, buttface," he would say. "Why are you so ugly today? Did you have sex with yourself last night?" Or if he saw a hybrid doing anything in the way of personal grooming he would say, "Don't waste your time. You were born ugly and you will die ugly. Just be glad you're in prison so you don't make normal people puke when they see you." After a while, the hybrids were getting pretty fed up with Lyle Bolton's taunts. Things really took a turn for the worse when Lyle insulted Demonar's teeth. "That does it!" Demonar shouted and leaped for Lyle's throat. The reaction was swift. All the guards carried automatic shock sticks and Lyle's stick responded immediately to Demonar's attack. Demonar fell to the floor moaning. Lyle slapped his shock stick against the palm of his hand and stared at the other hybrids. "Anybody else want a taste of it?" "I thought so..." said Bolton as he left the section. Demonar kneeled and pants feeling pain through his body. The shock was worse then he would had thought. Sakura came over a d kneeled down next to Demonar. "Hey... Dem... You ok?" she asked. Demonar stared at the ground, angry, depressed, and weak. "No.... Im not... This is what I hope to destroy... Man and Chimera... They always ruin us hybrids lives... Yours was different... But look at me... Now? What do I do now?" he said. During lunch, James began to feel weird, his stomach felt like it was boiling over, he rushed to the restroom feeling sure he was going to barf When he got to the boys room he screamed "AAAAAHHH! I GOT SCALES!" Meanwhile in Arkham Demonar was going to plan something similer for Lyle Bolton only Demonar was planning on turning Lyle into a paramecium Demonar got the idea from Jewel. Her prison job was helping out in the infirmary and she had overheard one of the visiting doctors talking about a Paramecium serum he was working on at his university job. He just came to the prison on Mondays to do volunteer work. Jewel searched his briefcase when he wasn't looking, looking for drugs to steal, but she found a vile of the Paramecium serum and took that. Demonar held the little bottle up to the light. "So a taste of this will turn someone into a one-celled organism? But how could one cell weigh nearly 200 pounds?" "I don't know," Jewel said. "Maybe it turns you into millions of cells, each one a Paramecium." "We need to test this stuff," Demonar said. "I'll catch a mouse tonight and put a drop of this in his mouth and see what happens..." Quickly the mouse disolved into a thousand parameciums! "So that's how it works..." Demonar said to himself chuckling "I must find away to feed it to Lyle Bolton tommorow! The sniveling toadie deserves nothing less!" Meanwhile Pamela and Jonathan had reuntited, Jonarthan led her too an old house that he used as one of his hideouts when he wasen't in Arkham. "This is my personal hideaway." Jonathan told Pamela "I never use this place for my crime sprees and I never wear my costume within these walls." "Pray tell me why you have all the windows blacked out?" Pamela asked "This hideout first and foremost is to be a storage for presious collection of books." Jonathan said quitly "I keep the windows blacked out to prevent the sunlight from harming them." "Do you really want to raise our child in this fixer upper?" Pamela asked coughing on the dust "No." The Scarecrow replied "This house will merely shelter us for a few nights until we can begin shopping for a better house..." "I hope that will be soon." Poison Ivy shivered being slightly plantlike herself she yearned for the sunlight and fresh air she could hardly stand the thought of living in a house where sunlight never entered. She looked to Jonathan who was standing by one of the many bookshelves admiring his collection of literture she wondered what this marriage felt like for him, she had heard that before he became a crimanal Jonathan was a frail youth who was pushed around and bullied by the big boys so much that he finally snapped and murdered his tormenters. Her story was different, she had been wooed by the insane botonist Dr Woodrow who preformed experiments on her to make her more plantlike...she killed him after she had nearly died One night they sat eating oysters and drinking wine at a table lit only by candles. Woodrow toasted her. "You look radiant tonight, my dear. After I make mad passionate love to you I want to take some clippings from your hair and prune your toenails." Pamela laughed. She was still in love with him then, still hypnotized by his combination of boyish enthusiasm and mad scientist zeal. He seemed like a kid with a chemistry set, harmless and fun. Then came the night he tied her to the bed and tried to graft a peach twig to her. "You will grow peaches while you sleep," he said, his eyes bright with scientific curiosity. "No, Woodrow!" she protested. I don't want to grow peaches on my body! I don't even like peaches. They have fuzzy skins and they make me itch." But Woodrow pressed on with his lunatic experiments no matter what she thought. If it wasn't for the great sex she would have tried sooner to leave him. But when they were together in bed even his wildest theories of human/plant hybridization seemed like children's tales. "I love you!" she would gasp while he chuckled and thrust, chuckled and thrust, until she screamed with an ecstatic orgasm. Mr. Woodrow was already up, strapping her in the bed knowing she'd lose control soon. Yet as she woke, she screamed out in pain and yelled for his name. Even if he wanted to help her, Pamela would kill him in a split second. "Mr. Woodrow! What did you do?! Please help me! I feel like im dying!" she yelled. Yet he didn't make any sudden moves. He moved back near the door in the kitchen. The door lead straight towards the greenhouse they had. Pamela growled and stared at him in anger knowing full well he wasn't going to help her. She began to grow more aggitated, feeling most parts of her body becoming plant like. Her arms, and legs, binded with branches and flora. They began to stretch away from her and onto the ropes that bind her. Mr. Woodrow began to feel nervous. Pulling out his gun, loading it with oil with his bullets, he aimed at Pamela's growing plant body. Unknowing a formation of plants coming from the greenhouse. She yells and screams as she springs from the bed, free from the ropes, staring down at Woodrow. "Im sorry to say this my dear! But you cannot live any longer! Your becoming a threat to yourself and to me!" he yelled. From within the greenhouse, a giant Venus Fly Trapper broke through the door and struck at Woodrow. He let out a horrible scream as the Fly Trapper struck, swallowing Woodrow. Pamela growled and slowly staggered forward, heading for the kitchen. Her branches reached over towards the sink, grabbing a glass and filling it with water. It brought it over to her, as she snatched it, gulping it down her throat. Strangly, she felt a bit better. But it also left her at a disadvantage she could not bear a child except through cloning. Pamela decided she had spent enough time dwelling on her past, she thought about talking with Jonathan about their living situation. Pamela looked over to Jonathan, he was still looking over his book collection, checking each book very carefully making sure not one was in need of repair. "Jonathan?" She murmured inquringly the sound of her voice seemed to make him jump a little for he seemed lost in his thoughts "Oh? What is it?" He asked "Penny for your thoughts?" She purred "I was just thinking about two kids I met a few days ago." He said "One human, one chimera. I'm a psycologist but this..Paraphilia, of human lust for animals, I tell you I don't understand it! I have nothing against chimera but mating with them?! It's a crime against nature in the purest sense of the term! I'm glad our child will never do anything like that" Meanwhile James and Velma were having a lover's tiff as it seems "You turned me into a raptor?!" James screeched his new Raptor teeth sharp and pointy "Ruby said it would help keep my parents from breaking us up." Velma said "Was she wrong?" "Listen I have no idea what Ruby told you do to...But I'm telling you to turn me back into a human and I mean now!" "Well I would have to have the poition for it." Velma said "POITION?!" James was baffled "Well you see I need a poition to reverse the transformation." "How is this even possible?" James asked "How can a human be turned into a chimera with just a poition?" "I think it has something to do with that fact that Chimera are just animals with faint amounts of human DNA added to make them more 'human-like' with humans you just have to add the animal element to turn a human into one" "But you can't just go around changing my well being! It's what I was born as! The next time your gonna feed me a potion Velma, WARN me first!" he said. Meanwhile back at Arkham Asylum, Robin scouted the rooftops looking through the glass for this Half breed. Luckily, he found him, yet he was hiding something under his sleeves. His hands were clutching the loose sleeve on his right orange jumpsuit. Robin took out what looks like a magnifyer glasses and zoomed in to see that he held a potion. "What.... Is he planning?" he said to himself. When he got to the window, he saw Lyle Bolton reach for the cup, Robin tried to open the window to reach him in time but it was too late. Lyle Bolton had already drank the contents of the cup, he let out a moan, and he started melting...into thousands of parameciums! Robin nearly choked swallowing bile, he never saw anything so terrifying in his whole life! (Hopefully Lyle Bolton finds a way to get back his proper shape, hopefully or it is going to be hard to explain how he appears in the JVN series) Lyle Bolton still retained his consciousness even though he was a million parameciums. Somehow all the cells were able to communicate with each other and form a brain. This really sucks, Lyle Thought. I'm scattered all over the place. I need to pull myself together. All the parameciums ran together to form a big blob. That's better, Lyle thought. He hid his blob self under a bunkbed. He wasn't sure if he wanted anybody to see him yet. But of course Robin was looking through the window and saw the whole horrible process. "I don't believe this!" Robin said. Robin laid agianst the the wall panting. Lyle Bolton? Was it him? Or is it something else?! Parameciums, Robin studied, were many organisms that, like cells, evolve. This could be forced evolution. How Lyle was able to form like that as a blob is inexplainable. But, his job was to spy on Demonar. It seems he was into more than just breaking in and breaking out of Arkham. Knowing the Arkham guards will get suspicious and ruin his chance of spying on him, Robin had to steal a disguise. He snuck into Arkham by the vents and crawled through to find himself in the cell rooms. One of them, lead inside the Penquin's room. He was still in his suit. From the looks of it, he seemed to be losing a bit of weight. "Damn Joker... Always putting me up through his plans that always fail!" he said to himself. Robin slowly entered the cell room without making footstep noises as he lands. Wiith rope and scotch tape in his hands, his plan was to knock HIM out and steal his disguise as he hides him on the bed. He leaned back on his bench and folded his arms over his mighty chest. Across from him he saw Sakura looking at him through her cell. Her dark eyes sparkling, her wolf ears perked "You killed him..." She said with awe "Not killed him." Demonar smirked "Turned him into a half and halfer like us!" "Demonar..." Sakura blushed her wolf tail curled between her legs "Yeah?" Demonar raised an eyebrow "I think you're really brave." She said Demonar grinned and made a circle with the fingers of one hand and then pushed a finger of his other hand in and out of the circle. Sakura clung to her cell bars and pretended she was getting aroused. Demonar laughed. "I wish I could have you right now." "Later," Sakura said. "When they let us out for exercise. We'll do it then." Demonar felt hot and excited. He knew it was unlikely that he and Sakura could get together anywhere with the guards always watching their every move, but it made him horny to think about it. He let out a long growl that echoed down the hallway. Other prisoners started shaking the bars of their cells and yelling "Aw, shut up!" Back with James and Velma, the now raptor boy waits outside where Velma is to see Ruby. He sighed as he looked at his paws thinking to himself. 'Had Velma worked this long to get me like this? I don't want to see her upset even as I get angry...." he said. A minute passed. And Jame's thoughts were thinking of doing their time tonight before she drinks whatever potion that comes next. As raptors called, mating. He blushes thinking about it. Finnaly he decided to take a chance and ask her... "Velma... I want to say sorry for how I acted before..." he said. Velma smiled and kissed him. "I understand James. But its I who has to be sorry." she said. James nodded and hugged her, feeling even more hotter. He decided to ask her now. "Velma... if things don't work out and I move, I want to mate with you before that chance happens." he said. Velma looked at him surprised. She had also forgotten she still had the bottle in her hands. "But... To make you feel better, we could do it in the raptor form im in now." But right now we'll give the two of them some privacy. Meanwhile as Jonathan Crane went to get the doorbell, wondering who it could be, he opened the door to find...THE JOKER! Jonathan did his best to hide his nervousness "Joker...Surprise to see you." "Gave up on crime fighting eh ol Scarecrow?" he asked. Jonathan stammered and gulped as Joker said those words. He knew. "....Yes... Do I have to apologize?" he asked. The Joker smiled and chuckled. "No! Silly. Actually I need your help. Like, information help. I want info on that half breed Demonar." Now that, is more scary. The Joker asking for help? For info? And here Jonathan thought the Joker knew everything that happens in Gotham. Unfortuneatly he doesn't know much of Demonar. Though, he knows others that might. "Well let me see," Jonathan "From what I understand he seems to be from Italy..." "No duh!" Joker said "Anyone can guess that by his 200 pound accent,Tell me something I don't know!" Jonathan racked his brain trying to think of something "Well from what I gather, he has been relying on that Dinosaur woman Jewel for info about us..." Joker looked angry "That wench!" He growled "That long necked reugee from the Jurassic! I'll tech her to gossip about me!" But in one second all that rage was gone, soon Joker was smiling again! "'Well tootle old man straw, I'm off to do buissness with Demonar now." Meanwhile, Lyle Bolton, now a conbustion of cells formed into a blob, squirmed through the vent over the mess hall looking for Demonar. Angry and desperate, he begins to leak out gratings as he moves, leaving traces of ooze and slime behind. One such, landed on the Penguin's head waking him from his unconcious state. "Wh...What the? HEY! MY CLOTHES!" he yelled. Meanwhile After Exersise, Demonar and Sakura were taken to the Rec Room, there Demonar had something to show the wolf He opened up his hand and revealed a tiny spark "What is it?" Sakura asked "A tiny peice of magic." He said "It can turn chimera into ordanary animals." Meanwhile Velma and James had finished mating in the woolds and began to make their journey back to the suburbs so James could turn back into a human. But What James and Velma did not realize was that they were right next to the house that Scarecrow and Poison Ivy were currently living in! "Well I suppose now is as good a time as any to drink the bew." James said as Velma gave him the bottle "Here's to happy days." James said as he drank from the bottle, As soon as he said that he turned back into a human being, but he did not have time to ponder it, because Velma quickly noticed something "There's that Scarecrow!" Velma exclaimed "Where? Where?" James looked around paniced. At that very moment Scarecrow appeared in his costume, though not to commit any crimes, he had to find out what the Joker was up to, so he headed out bidding Pamela farewell "I'll be gone for just an hour." Jonathan told Pamela "Just to know what the clown is up to." James looked at Velma, both were baffled by this, they decided to follow Scarecrow in secret The Scarecrow was not easy to follow. His long legs took long steps and he covered a lot of ground quickly. James and Velma had to trot through the woods to keep up. If they stayed out in the open on the path they would be spotted by the Scarecrow. It wasn't long before James tripped over a root and went down with a crash. He quickly jumped up and wiped the mud off his knees and hands. "Are you alright?" Velma said. "Yes, yes! Come on, we have to hurry. He's getting too far ahead of us." Jewel knew something was up by the way he smelled but said nothing. Meanwhile James and Velma caught up to the Scarecrow, and saw that he had stopped by a swamp. He seemed to be anylyzing the water as if he detected something was amiss Scarecrow looked at the sawp water and noticed it had a slight green tinge "Joker's giggle gas." Scarecrow thought bitterly "He's infecting the naturaul water supplies in hopes of trapping that Demonar." Scarecrow felt a presence in the bushes behind him, he heard a sneeze Quick as anything, he reached into the ferns and pulled out James by his hair! Velma screamed and jumped out in an attempt to rescue James, but Scarecrow whipped out a canister of Fear Gas, and threatened to spray it in her face "You irritating ingrates!" Scarecrow fumed dropping James into the Autuam leaves "You're worse than Batman! Following me like a shadow!" The two kids were afraid, they didn't now what to do "And you!" Scarecrow said pointing a finger at James "You should be ashamed of yourself, a respectable boy like yourself frorilcing with animals, engaging in proto-sexual relationships with them!" James felt himself grow hot with anger at Scarecrow's words "I don't know why your father let's you disgrace yourself like this but..." Scarecrow puased for a moment "When I have a son, I would never let him disgrace himself by frorilicing with animals!" "If you love him you will!" James quickly retorted, he rose to his feet and fled with Velma into the forest "If I love him?!" Scarecrow murmured "What did he mean by that?!" Scarecrow was still a long ways off from anticpating his unborn child's adolesance, he thought he could raise his child to excatly what was erxpected of him, Scarecrow also didn't understand, what humans and chimera felt for each other, he did not yet see and a Man could love an animal the way a man loves a woman, or that A woman could love a chimera the way a woman loves a man. Robin looked at Jewel for a moment, not sure how to begin. "So... How are you feeling?" "I'm fine," Jewel said. "How are you feeling, Penguin?" Robin could tell that she had her suspicions that he wasn't the real Penguin, so he made a point of waddling around in a circle in an exaggerated way in hopes of convincing her. Jewel just folded her arms and looked up at the ceiling and shook her head slowly from side to side. "What's the matter?" Robin said. Jewel looked down her nose at him. "I don't know who you are but I know you're not the Penguin and I know you're up to nothing good, so either explain yourself or get out of my space. I've got no use for you." "Its.... Actually not my place to say..." he said. Jewel huffed and went back into drinking. "Too bad. Because I might get Demonar over here to straighten you out." she replied. Robin gulped and pulled his collar a bit, nervously. "T-there's no need for that! Its just... Umm... I don't want ears to listen in." But Sakura's wolf nose smelled Robin...She growled...She knew he was looking for trouble. Meanwhile Scarecrow was busy looking through the forest...He had told those two kids off so now he could get back to finding out what Demonar and Joker were going to do "Hello..." said a familiar voice. He turned around to see the voice, and saw that it was a huge green blob monster! The sound sounded like Lyle! He was covered in dust, probably indicating he came from the vents. "No... Lyle?!" exclaimed. "What's the matter Scarecrow?" Lyle asked "Afraid I'll tell you a new one? Like Last time?" Scarecrow backed, slowly and timidly, he remembered, what Lyle was talking about well, Mr. Bolton was determend to brake the Inmate's spirits, so he snuck into their rooms late at night and....Violated them...Poison Ivy knew nothing of this because she had not been in Gotham at the time, neither wasJoker....come to think of it if Lyle had tried to violate Joker his day would probaly not be long...Harley Quinn however had not told her beloved what had happened to her those weeks. "So Scarecrow...The Green Blob whispered "How does it feel to have your backside ripped by a rod of flesh?" Jonathan's hands unconsisously rubbed his rump, he was terrified "Listen scum, I need you to do something for me...I need you to get me back to my human form! If you refuse to help me I'll tell everyone about our little nights togethor..." "Don't!" Scarecrow said quickly "Spare me my shame, I'll help you." "Goood... Now.. What I want you to do is Spy on that new prison mate. Demonar. And his little wolf pet. I want you to know if there's an antidote, even if it means interrogating one of them." he said. Scarecrow nodded quickly understanding. "Yes Lyle. I'll do it..." he said. Robin went back into the cell blocks and sat on the bed. He was directly over the Penquin all tied up. He was muffleing something angrly. "Shut up bird brain... Im trying to think..." he said. At last Demonar woke up, he stepped out of bed and walked over to the oppisite side of his cell, Sakura was already awake "Tonight." Demonar said "Tonight we make the big breakout!" "How?" Sakura asked "Don't worry." He grinned "Just leave everything to me." "Umm What are you doing?" Sakura asked. Demonar took his skin and placed it on his bruise Lyle gave him. "Parts of my body and skin have special hormones that lets me regenerate. Such as my dead skin cells. So I take parts of my skin, and use the cells on my skin to heal other parts of my body. Such as this bruise. They are also have antidote like powers." he explained. Scarecrow found what he was looking for. But how would he get close to his skin? He's dangerous. And if he doesn't get them soon, he's gonna leave on their big breakout. "Something terrble has happened I just know it!" She said Than she heard some crashing around outside, she opened the door to see a human boy and raptor-girl tripping around outside James was rather confused as he helped Velma up "Are you ok Velma?" He asked "Yes, but wasen't that encounter with Scarecrow scary?" The Raptor-Girl asked James and Velma stood in scilence for a few moments "James..." Velma said quietly "Were you thinking about what he said...about us?" "What about it?" James asked sourly "Do you think it had any truth to it? About what we're doing being disgraceful?" James frowned and shooked his head. "No. Its our choice. Its the choice we make. Its what makes us all the same.. No matter the species, the race, the culture or anything... Its the choices we make by ourselves that makes us what we are now.." he said. Velma cooed and tilted her head. "What are we now?" she asked. James leaned over and hugged Velma. "More then human beings." "I never thought..." She said quitly to herself "That humans and chimera could be so attracted to one anouther..." She stroked her pregnant belly and thought to herself 'What would happan if my own son became attracted to a chimera? If he did what could we do about it? If He consumated a union with a Chimera girl...good gracious! Children from such creatures! Oh God! Oh God!' She looked outside the window to peek at the Utahraptor again...She was a powerful looking creature a fine predator but...She was not attractive by human stadards at the very least. She noticed the two kids were beginning to speak again "So anyway..."Velma said "Scarecrow said something about his own son....I didn't know Scarecrow had a kid." "I think he said he was going to have a kid." James said "But I do wonder...Where is his wife at if she's expecting?" Velma shooked her head puzzledly. She didn't really know much anyways. Little did they know that Pamela was right inside watching the. She wondered how they heard that Scarecrow had a child? Back at the Bat Lair, Batman studies more of this mysterious figure known as Demonar. Alfred had set him some tea and such for him to relax. "Master Bruce, is there anything else you want? You look rather uneasy." he said. Bruce, the Batman, looked up to his security screen watching over the city. There hadn't been any activity. Except a few movements from a mansion. The mansion recently bought by Ranomed. "No im good... Its just I never been this uneasy since I faced Dracula..." he said. Alfred looked puzzled and walked around. "Another supernatural phenomenon?" "No.. But he has some strange abilities. And I don't think its a coincidence that a Mansion was bought the day after his arrival. I might have to investigate more." "When I give the signal..." He said to Sakura "You throw the switch and we'll be out!" Scarecrow was scared, he did not know how in the hell he was going to get the nessicary info out of Demonar if he was escaping at midnight! Scarecrow had an idea. He could drug Demonar with a relaxing hypnotic truth-telling drug that would make Demonar spill everything he knew as easily as pouring water from a bottle. But where to get the drug? How to administer it to Demonar? Scarecrow racked his brains for a better plan. He pounded his head with his fist. "Think, Strawbrain! Think! Time is running out!" Demonar had all the equipment they needed. And it was only a matter of time before the riot starts. And surprisingly, Demonar lifted his hand and rubbed Sakura's back. "Be sure to get out in time. I don't want to see another being suffer in confinement for what she is." he said. "Get back to your cell and set up. I'll be ready soon." He gave Sakura a peck on the cheek, making her blush. She was at a lost for words. She stood up and nodded slowly before running out his room. He gave a sly smile before leaning on his bed post. He was fast asleep in a minute. Scarecrow heard his snores and slowly crawled from underneath. Maybe, he could trick Demonar in his sleep to tell him how to turn Bolton to normal. Meanwhile, Batman, suited up, had snuck around the mansion. It was like any ordinary mansion, however, the lights were all off. Mud tracks led towards the door, could be from an accomplice Demonar. But why would they enter Ramoned's mansion? The door wasn't forced down. Sakura rubbed her cheek where demonar had kissed her. It felt warm and tingly. She smiled. So the big ugly demon wasn't so cold-hearted after all. She hoped the escape would be successful because she was really really tired of being locked up. It didn't sit well with her wolf nature to be confined in a small space for long periods of time. Often she felt the urge to howl and had to stifle it because she didn't want to draw the attention of the guards to herself. But after tonight, if the escape was successful, she would howl whenever she felt like it. Batman continued investigating the Mansion. He held his boomerang tightly as he entered the premises. The lobby lights were also out. Only the candles were lit. The large staircase centered in the lobby lead to the second floor, connected to the parlor room. Two other parallel doorways lead into corridors of bedrooms; nothing of interest though. Batman's night vision proved a worthy adversary of the dark; letting him see whatever possible entry anyone could jump out at. However; he let his guard down because from above, Long-Tong and the other hybrids awaited for Bat at the right moment. (Sorry can't add more than this computer is giving me probloms) Batman heard the whispery sound of a rope falling toward him and jumped out of the way just in time. Long-Tong yanked the rope back up but his lasso had caught nothing. However, now Batman knew that his enemies were somewhere above him. © Copyright 2009 MS, Twiga, Steve Ellen, (known as GROUP).
