Kingdom Hearts: Guardians of Destiny


Chapter 6: Gotham City


Steve: Are we--

Alucard: (points gun at Steve) If you dare start that again I won't hesistate to put a hole in your head.

Steve: (shaking in fear) Okay I'll be good!

Just then the computer began to beep.

Gohan: What's going on?

????: Contacting Bobby Murasama. Bobby, you read me?

Bobby then walked over to the computer and began inputing commands on the keyboard and on the screen, was a man dressed like a bat.

Bobby: Hey Batman. Been a long time huh?

Batman: (smiles) It has.

Steve: (exstatic) OH MY GOD IT'S THE REAL CAPED CRUSADER HIMSELF!!!!

Batman: (chuckles) I see I have a fan.

Bobby: (laughs) He sure is. So what is it that you need me for Bruce?

Batman: It's the Joker, he's causing trouble again.

Bobby & Robin: Joker?!

Sora: Who's the Joker?

Robin: (appears on screen) He's bad news Sora. His jokes are bad and he's not one to take lightly.

Bobby: He's been Batman's nemesis for a long time.

Batman: I need you guys to come to Gotham ASAP. I'll explain more when you arrive. Batman out.

Both Batman and Robin disappeared from the screen.

Ven: Is this Joker really that bad?

Bobby: You have no idea Ven.

Terra: Well we'll be able to handle him.

Axel: Well then, let's get going!

Riku: Here we go!

Riku piloted Excalibur as the T-Ship and Rouge followed them from behind until they finally arrived at their next world.

Vegeta: According to the computer, this must be Gotham City. Is everyone prepared to land?

Mystery: We are.

Bobby: Here we go.

Pressing the button on his cyber-arm, Bobby and the gang were beamed down from their ships and found themselves in a large mansion.

Joey: (whistles) Now this is a fancy house.

Kaiba: It's called a mansion Wheeler. But of course you wouldn't know about seeing how you're too stupid to understand.

Joey: (annoyed) You better shut yer mouth Kaiba or I'll shut it for ya!

David: That's enough you two. There's no reason to be fighting.

Bobby: (to David) These two always go at it with each other.

Just then a man with white hair wearing a black suit walked in the main hall.

Man: Masters Bobby and Dick. Master Bruce had told me you were coming.

Robin: Hey Alfred. It's been while since I last saw you.

Alfred: Indeed it has. How's the solo work going for you?

Robin: Actually I got to lead a team instead. Meet Cyborg, Beast Boy, Raven, and Starfire. Me and them are the Teen Titans as well as Bobby and the gang.

Bobby: Guys, Alfred here is Batman's butler and guardian since his parents died when he was younger.

????: He's always been there for me when I need him.

The gang turned to see a man with short black hair in casual clothing walked up from behind Alfred.

Bobby: Hey Bruce.

Sora: (confused) Bruce?

Bruce: Bruce Wayne is my real name. Batman is my heroic persona that I've taken to help out the people of Gotham in the shadows.

Robin: Bruce also is head of Wayne Industries, one of the biggest companies in the world.

Riku: YOU'RE the head of Wayne Industries? My dad says all the products you make are great.

Bruce: Well thanks Riku. Tell your father I appreciate his support. Come on, I'll take you guys to the Bat Cave.

Seras: Bat Cave?

Bobby: It's really cool.

As they made their way to the Bat Cave, the gang got to completely introduce themselves until they finally arrived at Batman's lair as Bruce began to put on his costume.

Shea: Dude! This is the bestest hangout ever!

Mystery: I gotta say Bruce, you really know how to work in secrecy. (chuckles) Guess I gotta learn some things from you.

Genesis: (sarcastically) Oh wow. A grown man going around Gotham dressed as a bat like it's Halloween and has a giant cave for a lair. Big whoopdie fucking do.

Batman, Robin, and Bobby began to give Death Glares to Genesis while Stephen backhanded him.

Stephen: (angerly annoyed) I told you to lay off.

Genesis: You said to lay off BOBBY. Not Mr. Rich Man here.

Batman: I know much about you Genesis Lava. You've got a smartass attitude, always backtalks to people, and had a bad childhood growing up.

Genesis: (shocked) How the hell do you know about my childhood?

Robin: He's not called the World's Greatest Detective for nothing.

Genesis: Hmph. World's Greatest Detective or not you stay OUT of my personal business. Especially my childhood. Got it?

Batman: Fair enough. (walks over to computer, typing) Now then, I'll explain exactly what the Joker is up to.

The gang gathered around by the computer as images appeared on the screen, one showing a man with spiked black hair with a clown-like appearance. He also had on a purple suit with a green shirt underneath. He also had on a evil, manical grin on his face.

Tidus: THAT'S the Joker? Man he's scary!

Batman: Exactly Tidus. He's a ruthless criminal who'll do anything to get what he wants. Lately Gotham's been overrun by Unversed. Commissioner Gordan and I believe the Joker's somehow connected to them. But the first time they came around was when Vanitas showed up.

Ven: Which can only mean Vanitas is here working with Joker.

Batman: I see.

He began typing on his keyboard again and four different images of the city then appeared on his computer.

Batman: I set up different cameras around the city to find out if Joker really is behind the Unversed invasion.

Sora: We'll help you out Batman!

Batman: You sure about that?

Robin: You know I can't say no to you. After all I wouldn't be who I am without your guidance.

Batman smiled at Robin's words and ruffled his hair.

Batman: I'm proud of how far you've come since you've left Robin.

Genesis was about to open his mouth when Stephen elbowed his side to stop him.

Bobby: So, should we start heading to the city?

Batman: It's best we should now before the Joker strikes.

Suddenly Batman's computer started to get static as he quickly started to try to fix the problem.

Donald: What's going on?

Batman: Not sure. Trying to figure it out.

Joker: (on screen) Hello Batsy!

Batman: (glares) Joker.

Joker: Ah I see that dear old Robin has returned to Gotham has he?

Robin: Once I knew you were causing trouble I couldn't ignore it.

Joker: (unamused) Typical heroics.

He then saw Bobby and then started to laugh sinisterly while giving chills to Sora and Ron.

Joker: Bobby my dear boy how have you been?

Bobby: Put a sock in it you rejected circus clown.

Joker: (laughs) Oh you crack me up kid. But enough with jokes. I have a proposition for dear old Batman here.

Batman: What do you want?

Joker: Now now Batsy I just want to talk. But I will warn you, you won't like what you hear.

Vegeta: Spit it out already!

Joker: Ooo. Calm down Spiky, I will. Now then you've noticed how the Unversed have made Gotham their vacation spot for the past week now? Well my dear old friend Vanitas has stopped by again and told me he has captured one of the Princesses.

The gang was shocked from what they heard.

Terra: Who is it?!

Joker: Let's see. Who was it again? I believe it started with an "A" or something. Oh yes! Ashelia B'nargin Dalmasca.

Bobby: (shocked) Ashe?!

Gabranth: I swear I didn't know that the lady Ashe was a Princess Bobby. Unless Vayne had known but never said a thing.

Sora: (worriedly) But Vaan and his gang...

Joker: Oh don't worry. Vanitas only bruised them. (laughs) But they were steamed when he took her and left!

Batman: (anger) Enough Joker! Where is she being kept?!

Joker: I could tell you. But I won't.

Alucard: (holds .454) I think the clown is asking for a death wish.

Joker: Keep your pants on bucko. I'll tell you where she is. She's at the docks. But I won't tell you which building. Toodleloo Batman!

Joker laughed manically has he disappeared as the computer screen was back to normal.

Terra: (sadness) I can't believe we missed a Princess...

Aqua: And one we met and didn't know she was one.

Mystery: We can't just stand by and let those two get away with this. We have to go and save Ashe.

Cyborg: Yeah! Mystery's right. Let's go and get her!

Shea: Charge!

Just as the gang started to move out...

Batman & Robin: Wait!

They stopped and turned to Batman and Robin.

Ulrich: What's up?

Robin: The two of us know Joker enough that he'll set up a trap once we go after her.

Batman: We need to think of a plan so we can get Ashe out without anyone getting hurt.

Bobby: A plan would be good but we can't just waste time! We have to go now!

Batman: I know how you feel about just finding out about Ashe but we can't just go in without thinking this through.

Bobby: The more time we waste the more Ashe's life is in danger!

Chris: As much as I would agree with you if this was Claire again but Bruce is right. A plan would be much better.

Bobby: (sigh) Fine.

Genesis: (harshly) Sounds like Bobby's upset no one's agreeing with him.

Bobby: (glares) Shut it.

Genesis: What? You don't like it when you don't get what you want?

Bobby: (grabs Genesis's collar) You're really asking for it!

Genesis: You don't have it to hit me.

Bobby: Wouldn't hurt to see now would it?

Genesis: Go ahead. Do it.

Just as Bobby was about to through a punch, Batman suddenly appeared and grabbed his fist.

Bobby: (surprised) Batman.

Batman: Beating on Genesis isn't going to help get Ashe back at all. I know of the tension between your group and him but keep it aside until we get her back understood?

Batman let go of Bobby's hand as Bobby released Genesis.

Genesis: (laughs) You can't even hit me without your babysitter right by you.

Batman: (glares) The next time Bobby goes after you, I'm not going to stop him.

Genesis: (huffs) Whatever.

Kid: We'll come up with a plan as we head out into the city.

The gang followed Kid out of the Bat Cave until Batman stopped and turned to see Bobby looking at the sky in disappointment. Batman then started to walk over to him.

Batman: Something on your mind?

Bobby turned to see Batman standing next to him.

Bobby: Yeah...

Batman: If it's about Genesis, it's wise to ignore what he says.

Bobby: (sadness) But what he says is true. I got careless fighting Xehanort when I knew he killed my father and it got Aqua stuck in the Realm of Darkness for 11 years and got the worlds in danger by the Heartless, I almost died battling the Conqueror when I was trying to avenge Emma and.... (sigh) Some hero I am if I let my emotions get to me.

Batman then put his hand on Bobby's shoulder and smiled.

Batman: Fighting with you here had shown me you are a hero. You fight to protect people in danger, you're brave and compassionate and willing to give your life to protect the people you care about. Now to be honest I'm not happy about you being a member of the Hellsing Organization.

Bobby: I know what you think about them but what they do is to keep people safe from vampires AND cover it up so the people of London won't get freaked out about it. Gordon would do the same for Gotham City if something similar happened.

Batman: Hmm. You do have a point. But as I said don't let Genesis get to you. Okay?

Bobby: Alright, I got it. Sorry about earlier.

Batman: Don't worry about it. Come on, let's regroup with the others.

Bobby nodded as the two made their way out of the Bat Cave.

=Joker's Hideout=

Joker: So my dear, are you enjoying your stay in Gotham?

Ashe: You're not a very good host when you have the guest restrained to a chair!

Joker: It's just for safety. We wouldn't want anything bad to happen to you know would we?

Vantias then appeared next to Joker as he stepped out the Corridor of Darkness.

Vanitas: Comfortable Princess?

Ashe: You don't scare me Vanitas. Just wait until my friends get here. You'll be asking for it!

Vanitas and Joker laughed while Ashe got annoyed.

Ashe: (sarcastically) I'm sorry did I say something funny?

Joker: You think your friends are going to save you?

Ashe: And you find that funny?

Vanitas: Let's just say that when they get here, they'll be in for one hell of a fight.

He then held out his hand and a dark aura surged around it.

Ashe: What're you doing?

Vanitas: (grins evilly) It won't hurt if you stay still.

Ashe's eyes got wide as the hand got close to her.

=Gotham Docks=

Our heroes got out of Excalibur as they found themselves at the Gotham City Docks.

Batman: Now that we're here, let's start searching for where Joker's keeping Ashe.

Beast Boy: And hopefully there won't be a machine that'll have little robots kills us from inside our bodies.

Robin: Joker wouldn't have the same technology has Slade to do something like that.

Bobby: We shouldn't take any chances and be cautionous as we look inside the warehouses.

Batman then pulled out a pair of goggles from his pocket and used them to search the buildings.

Sora: What kind of goggles are those?

Batman: Heat-seeking goggles. They'll pick up any heat signature a person leaves behind. This is how we'll locate Ashe.

He looked around and nothing picked up.

Batman: Strange. Guess we'll have to look inside.

Steve: (whines) Every one?!

Sere: Ugh! Quit complaining Steve! Now then, how about we start searching this warehouse here?

Bobby walked over to the door and started to pull it open but with no luck.

Batman: The warehouses always stay unlocked, even at night. Something's wrong here.

Sora: Then let's open it up and look inside!

He summoned his Keyblade and used it to unlock the door as Robin pulled the doors open and the gang hurried inside.

Riku: Ashe! Are you alright?

Out of the shadows was Joker as he had a sinister grin on his face.

Joker: Hello! So glad you could come.

Bobby: (exclaims) No games Joker! Where's Ashe?!

Joker: She's here my dear boy but I'm afriad she's not herself right now.

Ichigo: (readies Zantetsuken) Here we go again you guys.

David: What do you mean by that Ichigo?

The gang then heard a woman laughing as it echoed in the warehouse.

Black Star: (frightened) What the heck was that?!

The laugh came again but louder.

Sam: Whoever's there, show yourself!

And then out came Ashe as she dove at the gang with her sword but Robin knocked her aside with his iron pole. They were shocked when they saw what happened to Ashe. Her face looked like Joker's with the same makeup. Her hair was green and her clothing consisted of a green tank top and a purple shorts with green shoes.

Bobby: (angered) What the hell did you do to her?!

Joker: (chuckles) Not just me, I had help from a friend of mine.

Vanitas then appeared right next to him.

Vanitas: (evilly grins) Miss me? So I see you've met my Jokerized minion. Pretty sweet huh?

Batman: (glares angerly) You're insane.

Joker: Oh Batsy you're too kind!

Bobby only stared at the two with fierce hate in his eyes.

Vanitas: (sarcastically) I'm sorry Bobby, did I do something wrong?

Bobby: VANITAS!!!

He then roared as he transformed to Legendary Super Saiyan and held Bonding Friendship in his hand and charged at the two but the Jester Ashe blocked his strike with her sword as she laughed.

Bobby: Stay out of my way!

He then used his elbow and knocked her into a pile of crates and then headed for Vanitas as he summoned his Keyblade and the two began to fight.

Robin: Batman you deal with Joker while I lead the Titans and the gang and hold off Ashe.

Batman: Got it.

Robin: Titans! GO!!!

Everyone dashed as they went for their targets. Batman headed for Joker as he pulled out his pistol and started firing at the Caped Crusader but was able to dodge the bullets. Sora used Strike Raid as it hit Jester Ashe and Genesis drew his Enetena and vertically slashed her. But their attacks didn't do a thing as Ashe only stood back up with the evilish grin on her face as she laughed.

Goku: Darn! Our attacks aren't doing anything to her!

????: Perhaps it's time for the leading man to help out?

Everyone turned to the source of the voice and saw Balthier holding his Fomalhaut gun with a grin on his face.

Sora, Donald, Goofy: Balthier!

????: Don't forget about us too!

Coming up behind Balthier was Vaan, Fran, Basch, and Penelo, all holding the same weapons they used in their battle against Vayne.

Basch: We followed Vanitas all the way here from Ivalice in the Strahl and what we see is truly something I can't forgive him for.

Vegeta: Then perhaps you'll assist us then?

Fran: Yes we will.

Vaan: Then let's go!

Vaan led his team as they hurried to aid Sora's gang while Bobby and Batman delt with Joker and Vanitas.
