The Past Returns
Shortly after saving Rachel, Bruce Wayne emerged from the bookcase and the noise of the party could be heard through the door. Alfred was waiting, a dinner jacket over his arm, frowning while the young man finished buttoning his shirt and tied on his bowtie. The Mane Six and Spike soon followed behind him, having used magic to assume their human forms again. The girls wore their party dresses, while Spike wore his suit. They could clearly see that Alfred was not very happy with Bruce at the moment.
“When you told me your grand plan to save Gotham, one thing stopped me calling the men in white coats,” Alfred spoke sharply. “You said it wasn’t about thrill-seeking.”
“It’s not,” Bruce responded.
“Granted, driving that awesome tank was a thrill ride, but we weren’t doing any of this for fun,” Rainbow added. “We’ve all been saving this city since the moment we got here.”
“So, we got involved in a few car chases,” Spike replied. “It’s not like that’s big news; I bet nobody was even watching.”
Alfred pointed to a nearby T.V., which was on the news channel, and currently it was showing the chase footage from earlier.
“Well, what do you call that?” He asked.
Bruce glanced at the news and smirked.
“Damn good television,” He responded.
“A promotional vignette for a Batman inspired video game?” Pinkie added hopefully.
“It’s a miracle no one was injured,” The butler objected.
“We know and we feel bad for causing any damages,” Twilight responded. “But we didn’t really have much of a choice. Bruce’s friend Rachel, even though my friends and I didn’t really get to know her well, was poisoned by Dr. Crane’s fear toxin. And because she’s Bruce’s friend, we needed to get her back so we could administer the antidote.”
“I didn’t have time to observe the highway code, Alfred,” The young man added.
“You’re getting lost in this creature of yours,” Alfred spoke honestly.
“I’m using this creature to help people like my father did—” Bruce began.
“For Thomas Wayne, helping others was never about proving anything to anyone,” The older man interrupted. “Including himself.”
“It’s Rachel, Alfred,” Bruce explained. “She was dying. She’s downstairs, sedated. I need you to take her home.”
Hearing this made Alfred gasp.
“Oh, so it’s surprising when he says it,” Rainbow remarked.
Regardless, knowing that Rachel was on the verge of death and Bruce merely tried to save her, it helped him understand his methods… a little. With a nod, Alfred started for the bookcase but then paused.
“We both care about Rachel, sir,” He said gently. “But what you’re doing has to be beyond that. It can’t be personal. Or you’re a vigilante.”
Bruce understood this, having been told the same thing during training with the League of Shadows. His eyes glanced toward the door.
“Is Fox still here?”
To which Alfred gave a confirming nod.
“We need to send these people away,” Bruce declared.
“Bruce is right, Alfred,” Twilight nodded. “From what we gathered on our escapade, something even worse is coming.”
“The Court of Owls, Crane, the Dazzlings, Chrysalis, apparently they lack in comparison to what’s on its way to Gotham,” Spike interjected.
“Those are Bruce Wayne’s guests out there,” Alfred protested. “You have a name to maintain—”
“I don’t care about my name,” Bruce interrupted, heading out the door.
But Alfred refused to let this one go.
“It’s not just your name, it’s your father’s. And it’s all that’s left of him. Don’t destroy it.”
Alfred headed for the Batman while Bruce paused to consider his words for a moment. The girls and Spike stepped alongside him, yet they could only look at him with concern.
“Y’all alright there, Bruce?” Applejack asked.
Bruce took a moment to recollect himself before answering.
“Yeah, I’m fine,” He nodded. “We just need to focus on getting these people out of here and fast.”
“No sweat there,” Rainbow smirked. “I could clear this entire place—”
“In ten seconds flat, we know!” The group finished.
Rainbow quickly shut her mouth, pouting her lips over having her thunder stolen. Applejack gave her mare-friend a pat on the back before the group made their way into the main hall. Once they entered the hall, they noticed that hundreds of guests were gathered. Music was playing, the tables groaned under the weight of all the food. Pinkie’s eyes widened as a huge smile formed along her face.
“Oh… my… Faust!” She grinned. “It’s finally time to PARTY!!!”
The sound of the pink party girl’s screaming that last word caused the entire ensemble in the hall to turn toward Bruce and the others.
“There he is!” One female guest exclaimed.
Upon seeing him, the band began playing ‘Happy Birthday’ as the other guests clapped and started making their way toward Bruce.
“Ugh, nice one Pinkie,” Spike groaned. “Get the attention of every single person in the room on us.”
Spike turned but realized his words fell on deaf ears, or rather thin air. For Pinkie Pie already made a mad dash for the food table and started stuffing her face of anything sweet she could pick up. The group groaned in frustration as they made their way over to retrieve their friend.
Bruce smiled sheepishly as the guests began singing along, accepting a glass from one of the servers, and moved amongst the throng. He spotted Lucius, who was currently at the buffet. But it was also in that moment Mr. Earle came up alongside Bruce, who recalled the former’s intent to take the company public.
“Happy birthday, Bruce,” Earle said, getting his attention.
“Mr. Earle, how did the stock offering go?” Bruce asked.
‘Won’t he be surprised tomorrow?’
“Very well – the price soared,” Earle responded.
“Who was buying?” Bruce asked.
“A variety of funds and brokerages… it’s all a bit technical,” Earle responded. “The key thing is our company’s future is secure.”

Meanwhile, Alfred snuck the sleeping Rachel out the side entrance and gently arranged her on the rear seat of the car. He frowned when he realized her legs were stuck. As he tried to get them in, he looked up and saw a party guest, who stepped out for a smoke. The guest was watching Alfred, curiously.
“A little worse for wear,” Alfred lied, with an embarrassed smile. “I’m afraid.”
The party guest nodded, believing the lie and went back to his smoke. Alfred fought back a sigh, as he yanked Bruce’s golf clubs to one side and got the young woman settled.
‘I am going to ask for a raise after this,’ He thought to himself.
<>
After cutting the cake, Bruce worked the room with a charming smile. But with time running out, he needed to reach Lucius before his worst fears came true. He took one glance toward the other side of the table only to find the Mane Six and Spike struggling to pry Pinkie Pie away from a chocolate fountain.
“Pinkie, leave it alone!” Rarity ordered loudly.
“Must… have… chocolate!” Pinkie groaned in a deep guttural voice.
Finally, Bruce reached the elder man after exchanging a few kind words with Julia Pearson, who apologized for John not being there. Apparently, he was needed to help the police with something important in the Narrows.
“Thank you for that… item,” Bruce told the older man.
“I’m sure you’ll find a use for it,” Lucius responded with a nod.
“I already have,” The young man assured.
The wheels were turning in the man’s head, thoughts of what was going to happen in the near future.
“How long would it take to manufacture on a large scale?”
“Weeks,” The older man thought. “Why?”
“Someone’s been planning to disperse it using the water supply,” Bruce answered.
“The water supply isn’t going to help you disperse an inhalant… unless…” Lucius trailed off, worried.
‘Oh God.’
“What?” Bruce asked.
“Unless you have access to a microwave emitter powerful enough to vaporize the water in the mains,” The older man explained. “The kind of microwave emitter that Wayne Enterprises has recently misplaced.”
“Misplaced?” The young man echoed.
“Earle just fired me for asking too many questions about it,” Lucius explained.
“I need you to go back to Wayne Enterprises and start making more of the antidote,” Bruce ordered. “And get a copy of your notes over to Pearson Pharmaceuticals so that they can start mass production.”
“My security access has been revoked,” Lucius pointed out.
“That wouldn’t stop a man like you, would it?” Bruce inquired, smirking.
“No, it probably wouldn’t,” Lucius smiled.
<>
Meanwhile, at Arkham Asylum, Gordon and a few other cops looked up at the giant plant that sprouted from beneath the Earth. Its giant stalks rose high into the sky, where it nearly reached the top of the tallest skyscraper in Gotham.
“What the hell is it?” One cop wondered.
“I don’t know,” Gordon responded. “But nobody gets near it, understand? We’re closing the bridges, locking down the whole island.”
On his way back into the asylum itself, Gordon passed Dr. Quinzel and the rest of the Arkham staff, doctors and patients. By now, they were just recovering from the Dazzlings’ mind control.
“Are you all alright?” He asked.
“I believe so,” Dr. Quinzel responded. “Boy… that felt weird. But right now, we need to get everyone as far away from here as possible. All hell’s about to break loose.”
That said, Dr. Quinzel led the group of doctors and inmates away from the area as Gordon worked his way into the asylum. While running through the cell block, he caught the faint sound of weeping. Slowly he moved toward the source until he stumbled upon a cell holding a crying Sonata Dusk huddled in a corner within. Gordon gazed at the poor crying girl, her head down on the floor. What shocked him most was how a girl like her even ended up in Arkham in the first place; to him, she seemed as though she didn’t belong there.
“Are you okay?” He asked her.
The poor blue siren paused for a moment to look up toward the police offer looking down at her outside the cell. Her eyes were red from crying; her face stained with tears. She quickly went back to her wallowing.
“P-Please, leave me alone!” She wept. “I look horrible!”
“What are you doing in here?” Gordon asked her.
Recalling exactly ‘why’ she was in the cell only made Sonata cry harder. Gordon just couldn’t stand to see the poor girl locked up in this cell. Especially since he had a slight soft spot for children, even young and scared teens. Quickly, he raced around to the nearest office and snatched up a chain of keys which sat on the desk. Racing back toward the cell, Gordon shuffled through the keys before he placed on into the lock. It turned out to be the right key and he opened the door. Stepping inside, he tried to help the poor girl to her feet, but she resisted as best as she could.
“What part of ‘leave me alone’ don’t you humans understand?!” She yelled tearfully.
“I don’t know what you’ve done, but you can’t stay here,” Gordon told her. “I’m sure your family misses you; let me help you get back to them.”
But hearing this only made Sonata cry heavily. Gordon gently reached down, once more trying to help the poor girl off the floor. All of a sudden, she quickly threw her arms around him and cried into his chest. Gordon, a bit taken aback, gently placed a comforting hand along the girl’s back.
“My family? They’re the reason I’m in this cell,” Sonata cried. “They don’t care about me at all. I did everything I could; I really wanted to be the best sister I could be. I thought if I really wanted it, then I could show the girls that Sonata Dusk can be reliable. But just when I thought I was gaining another sister, it turned out she only came into our lives to replace me… they stabbed me in the back in favor for her! A girl who’s bigger than me… smarter than me… meaner than me… and the worst part of it? She’s better than me… she’s better than me…”
Gordon stood silent, listening to the girl explain while he tried to offer as much comfort as possible.
“The truth is… it’s my own fault this happened,” Sonata wept. “I knew they always thought I was a burden and a screw-up, but I went along ‘anyway’ out of loyalty. Yes, I made mistakes… yes, I get easily distracted… but at least I tried, I really tried for them. But no matter how hard I worked to impress them, no matter how much effort I made to prove I was worthy of their love, it was never enough! I’m so sick of trying to be perfect! I’ll never be good enough for my family… or anyone…”
Eventually, the poor girl cried herself out and pulled away as she wiped the tears along her face. Once more, a gentle hand touched her shoulder and she turned till her eyes looked toward Jim Gordon, who returned her gaze with a comforting smile.
“It sounds to me you’ve been around the wrong people long enough,” He told her. “Do you know what I see when I look at you?”
Sonata sniffed as she slowly shook her head.
“I see a girl willing to do anything for those she loves,” Gordon continued. “Someone who will stop at nothing to do what she believes is right. Someone who is good enough.”
Hearing such comforting words, from a human of all beings, Sonata felt new tears building in her eyes. Except they weren’t tears of sorrow, but instead tears of ‘joy’. A small smile formed along her face as she allowed the tears to fall, and she hugged Gordon once more. When she finally pulled away, Gordon removed his hand from her shoulder and the smile still remained.
“Never let anyone tell you that you aren’t good enough,” He told her. “Can you do that?”
Sonata gave a nod of her head as she kept smiling.
“We should really get going,” Gordon informed her. “Things are about to go bad around here and neither of us want to be around when it happens. Stick close to me, I’ll take you somewhere safe.”
Gordon proceeded to lead Sonata through the halls as they traveled to the lower parts of the asylum. Once they reached the cell blocks marked ‘Maximum Security’, they stopped.
“Stay here,” Gordon instructed Sonata.
Sonata nodded silently and held her ground as Gordon approached one of the cells. Inside, Crane sat inside wrapped in a straitjacket, his eyes glazed over.
“Crane, I know that you weaponizing a hallucinogenic chemical compound,” Gordon told the mumbling young man. “And that you were putting it into the water supply. What I want to know is what kind of compound were you weaponizing and why?”
“Scarecrow…” Crane mumbled. “Scarecrow… Scarecrow…”
“Crane, who are you working for?” He asked. “Why are you doing this?”
This time, Crane actually locked eyes with him.
“It doesn’t matter,” He smiled vaguely. “It’s… too late.”
A grim look formed on Gordon’s face; it was plain to see he didn’t like the sound of that. He proceeded to quickly leave the cell, handing a nearby guard Crane’s mask before he took Sonata’s hand and led her toward the emergency exit.

Meanwhile, back at Wayne Manor, the girls and Spike finally got Pinkie Pie away from the buffet table. Granted, they had to hold her down and practically tied her to a chair until she calmed down. Currently, they stood before Pinkie Pie, who casually sat about tied to the chair without a fuss.
“Now Pinkie darling, if we untie you, do you promise to remain calm?” Rarity asked slowly.
“I promise,” Pinkie nodded rapidly.
“And you won’t go cuckoo in the coconut again?” Rainbow asked.
“Nnnnope!” Pinkie shook her head.
“Y’all Pinkie Promise yer gonna behave?” Applejack asked.
“Cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye,” Pinkie recited her pledge.
“Alright, untie her,” Twilight instructed.
The girls proceeded to undo the knots along the ropes holding Pinkie in place. When they finally came off, Pinkie stood from the chair and stretched her limbs as she could hear her bones crack.
“Wowie! I haven’t been tied up like that since Cheesy and I—uh, never mind.”
Twilight took a step back but accidentally bumped into someone standing behind her.
“Oops! I’m really sorry—”
She found her words quickly cut off the moment she turned around and discovered just who she bumped into. Her eyes went wide; her mouth dropped in shock.
“You!” She exclaimed in shock.
Before her very eyes, dressed in a fancy three-piece suit, stood someone she never thought she’d see again… Duscan Al Ghul himself. A sinister smirk was held in place along his face.
“Hello Princess,” He spoke lowly. “Long time, no see.”
Bruce moved through the party, working his way toward the study. When suddenly, an elderly woman, Mrs. Delane by name, grabbed his arm and pulled him in a different direction.
“Bruce, there’s somebody here you simply must meet…”
“Not now, Mrs. Delane—” Bruce began.
Mrs. Delane turned him to face an Asian man in his fifties.
“Now, am I pronouncing it right?” She asked. “Mr. Ra’s al Ghul?”
Bruce turned towards the man with a shocked expression on his face. The bald Asian man in question gave a curt nod before slowly turning around. Bruce was actually to see that it was not actually Ra’s al Ghul at all. Bruce’s blood ran cold, the expression on his face made Mrs. Delane laugh nervously in confusion.
“You’re not Ra’s al Ghul,” Bruce spoke bluntly. “I watched him die.”
“But is Ra’s al Ghul immortal?”
The young man turned to the source of the familiar voice, discovering Henri Ducard standing beside him with a smile and a black cane in one hand.
“Are his methods supernatural?” Henri asked.
“Or cheap parlor tricks to conceal your true identity… Ra’s?” Bruce suggested, with new understanding.
Henri, no… Ra’s al Ghul smiled as he stared Bruce straight in the eye.
“Surely a man who spends his nights scrambling over the rooftops of Gotham wouldn’t begrudge me dual identities?” He inquired, walking the young man through the party.
“I saved you from the fire,” Bruce said, disgusted with himself.
“I warned you about compassion, Bruce,” Ra’s warned.
As they walked, Bruce noticed certain guests staring intensely at him. It wasn’t difficult to guess they were all members of the League of Shadows.
“Your quarrel is with me,” He hissed at his former mentor. “Let these people go.”
“You’re welcome to explain the situation to them,” Ra’s offered, amused.
‘No one will believe me if I tell them the truth,’ Bruce thought.
Suddenly, another idea came to Bruce’s mind. He grabbed a glass from the tray and tapped on it.
“Everyone! Everyone!”
All the guests in the room, including the Mane Six, Spike, and a smirking Duscan turned their attention toward Bruce.
“I just want to thank you all for coming here tonight and drinking my booze.”
This caused the guests to laugh.
“No, really, the thing about being a Wayne is you’re never short of a few freeloaders to fill up your mansion…”
Then the laughter stopped, and all the guests now looked confused.
“So, here’s to you people,” Bruce announced, as he drank.
Many people turned away embarrassed while Fredericks took the young man by the elbow and Julia took away the nearly empty glass.
“That’s enough, Bruce.”
Bruce pulled his arm away as people started heading for the doors. He got himself a new glass, despite Julia’s attempt to stop him.
“I’m not finished,” He said, raising the new glass. “To you false friends… and pathetic suck-ups who smile through your teeth at me… you had your fill, now leave me in peace! Get out. Everybody. Out!”
Ra’s watched with amusement as the people left, some of them whispering their disapproval while others were more vocal. Knowing he would probably regret this later in tomorrow’s news, he turned toward Fredericks and Julia, who stared at him with both disappointment and disapproval.
“The apple has fallen very far from the tree, Mr. Wayne,” The older man spoke coldly, walking away.
“If your father was still alive, young man,” Julia said icily. “He would disown you on the spot.”
Ra’s chuckled as the last of the angry guests left. This left the Equestrians and Bruce alone in the house as the Al Ghul’s and the League of Shadows circled around them.
“Amusing,” Ra’s commented. “But pointless. None of these people have long to live – your antics at the Asylum have forced my hand.”
“Crane was working for you,” Bruce realized.
“His toxin is derived from the organic compound in our blue poppies,” Ra’s explained. “He was able to weaponize it.”
“He’s not a member of the League of Shadows,” Bruce pointed out.
“Of course not,” Ra’s confirmed. “He thought our plan was to hold the city to ransom.”
“But really you’re going to unleash Crane’s poison on the entire city,” Twilight concluded.
“Then watch Gotham tear itself apart through fear,” Duscan nodded.
“You guys are really sick and twisted,” Rainbow commented.
“You do realize what you’re talking about is committing mass genocide of an entire city,” Rarity said in shock.
“You’re going to destroy millions of lives,” Bruce protested.
“Only a cynical man would call what these people have ‘lives’, Wayne,” Ra’s stated.
Then he stepped out of the main hall and into a corridor, with his former students following behind.
“People stacked like boxes. Families sleeping in garbage. Crime. Despair. This is not how man was supposed to live.”
He paused next to a window, gesturing to the distant glow of Gotham.
“The League of Shadows have been in check against human corruption for thousands of years. We sacked Rome. Loaded trade ships with plague rats. Burned London to the ground. Every time a civilization reaches the pinnacle of its decadence, we return to restore the balance.”
“Gotham isn’t beyond saving,” Bruce protested. “There are good people here, people who—”
“You’re defending a city so corrupt we infiltrated every level of its infrastructure,” Ra’s interrupted.
And so, a newsflash was presented toward the young man and his allies.
<>
At Arkham Asylum, a man in a SWAT uniform entered the cell Crane was in. He dropped the burlap mask in his lap; the former doctor blinked and looked up at the SWAT officer and his partner, who stood in the doorway of the cell.
“Time to play.”
<>
In the control room, the guard on duty looked around when the SWATs entered, grabbed him… and killed him. Then, they pushed the button which unlocked all the cells; onscreen, they watched as a rogue’s gallery of criminal lunatics, including Zsaz, cautiously leaving their cells and strolling the hallways.
<>
On the monorail, the driver checked his watch and hit the intercom.
“This train is no longer in service.”
The passengers groaned and got to their feet, not looking forward to the long walk ahead of them.
<>
Back at Wayne Manor, Ra’s and Bruce faced each other in the corridor of the manor.
“You have no illusions about the world, Bruce,” Ra’s reminded him. “When I found you in that jail you were lost. But I believed in you. I took away your fear and showed you a path. You were my greatest student… it should be you standing at my side, saving the world.”
“I’ll be standing right where I am now,” Bruce said firmly. “Between you and the people of Gotham.”
The Mane Six and Spike came to Bruce’s side and Twilight used her magic to convert her friends back into their original pony and dragon forms. They all assumed a fighting stance, ready for a war.
“So will we,” Twilight said determined. “We saved you both from falling off that mountain all those weeks ago. It looks like that was a huge mistake. Well, we won’t make any mistakes this time and we will save this city from you.”
“I highly doubt that.”
The presence of a new voice caused the Equestrians and Bruce to turn to their side. From the shadows, members of the Court of Owls stepped forward and stood alongside the representatives of the League of Shadows. The Grandmaster then came forward and stood alongside Ra’s and Duscan.
“As I stated before: Judgment has come to Gotham at last,” The Grandmaster declared.
The group looked in shock toward the League of Shadows and the Court of Owls, two factions standing side-by-side as one collective unit.
“So, it all comes together now,” Twilight realized. “You’ve been working together since this began.”
“But I always thought the League and the Court were bitter rivals,” Pinkie said confused. ‘I mean from all the different comics, the movies, and video games in the D.C. universe, that fact’s pretty clear.”
“True… our goals may not always align, there is one thing upon which we can agree,” The Grandmaster spoke.
“No one can save Gotham,” Ra’s stated. “When a forest grows too wild, a purging fire is inevitable, and natural.”
He soon nodded to his men, who began knocking over the bookshelves in the region, pouring gasoline over everything, and started fires. Soon the flames rose around them, the smoke gathered about at the ceiling.
“Tomorrow the world will watch in horror as its greatest city destroys itself,” He continued. “The movement back to harmony will be unstoppable this time.”
“You’ve tried to attack Gotham before?” Bruce asked, surprised.
“Of course,” Ra’s replied, stating the obvious. “Over the ages our weapons have grown more sophisticated… with Gotham we tried a new one… economics.
“We inflated the system, decreased productivity…” Duscan added.
The young man stared at him, the pieces of the puzzle slowly falling into place. Frankly, he didn’t like the picture that was forming.
“You created the depression twenty years ago,” Bruce realized.
“Create enough hunger, and everyone becomes a criminal,” The Grandmaster nodded. “But we underestimated certain members of Gotham’s citizens… your parents included.”
This earned him a glare from Bruce and the Equestrians.
“But you didn’t just underestimate them,” Twilight said bitterly. “You realized they were working to undermine the damage you’ve done to this city. You knew that your plans were in jeopardy, so you conspired to murder them by paying a desperate man to commit a heinous crime. Then you covered your tracks by locking him away in an asylum, declaring him insane.”
“Unfortunate casualties in our fight for justice,” The Grandmaster added, with a grim smile beneath his mask.
“Gunned down by one of the very people they tried to help,” Duscan smirked. “Their deaths galvanized the city into saving itself, and Gotham has limped on ever since. Now we’re back to finish the job.”

Meanwhile, the inmates headed toward the exercise yard of the asylum, where the two SWATs set charged along the back wall and hurried away.
Inside, Gordon and Sonata searched the hydrotherapy room, having just learned the officers guarding the emitter had been killed and said item was now missing. They jumped when an explosion rocketed and echoed throughout the area. Racing through the corridors, they soon reached the exercise yard along with another detective. Soon they found Flass examining a massive hole in the wall. Through the hole, they could see the Narrows, and it was obvious where the inmates disappeared to.
“How many were in maximum security?” Gordon questioned, heading out.
“Dozens… serial killers, rapists, assorted sociopaths,” Flass answered.
“Is… that all?” Sonata asked anxiously.
“You wish that was ‘all’…”
“Get ‘em to raise the bridges, we don’t want any getting off the island,” Gordon ordered.
“Sure, I’ll raise the bridges,” Flass said sarcastically. “As soon as we get every available unit over here to help us find the homicidal maniacs running loose out there.”
Gordon rolled his eyes as they headed out into the Narrows to begin the search.
<>
Back at the manor, Bruce and Ra’s still had their little stare down.
“And this time,” Ra’s said firmly. “No misguided idealists will be allowed to stand in the way. Like your father, you lack the courage to do all that is necessary. If someone stands in the way of true justice, you simply walk up behind him and stab him in the heart.”
At that moment, a shadow dropped down behind Bruce, and choked when the young man suddenly spun around and grabbed the ninja by the throat. Ra’s drew a sword from his cane and struck, only to have Bruce spin again and block the blow with his side. Despite getting cut in the process, Bruce fought against the pain while dropping the unconscious ninja to the floor while retaining his grip along the sword.
“Perhaps you taught me too well,” Bruce hissed.
“Or perhaps you’ll never learn,” Ra’s commented.
He slammed his cane against a column, and there was a loud cracking sound high above them. Bruce looked up, just as a burning ceiling beam crashed down onto the young man, knocking him out in the process.
“To mind your surroundings as well as your opponent,” He concluded.
He then retrieved his sword and put it back in his cane.
“Justice is balance,” He said coldly. “You burned down my house and left me for dead. Consider us even.”
Ra’s and a number of assassins walked towards the front door of the manor, only for the Mane Six and Spike to jump right in front of them.
“We’re not letting you just walk out of here!” Rainbow declared determinedly.
“Ya’ll bout tah get the worse whoopin’ than all our foes combined,” Applejack said.
“Oh, I think not,” Ra’s smirked.
With a quick snap at his fingers, Duscan and a bunch of assassins dropped on top of the group. With a heavy metal net in their grasp, held down by large heavy iron blocks, they kept the heroes down. The ponies and their dragon friend struggled, trying to fight their way out of this trap. Unfortunately, they found themselves unable to accomplish this feat.
“Struggle all you like, it won’t save you,” Duscan mocked. “I believe you are familiar with these metals.”
“Seriously!” Spike groaned, mid-struggle. “Where’s everyone getting this anti-magic metal?”
“Where we get it doesn’t concern you,” Duscan responded. “All you need to know is that you have no power to escape from its hold. Now as you all wait to be burned alive, I leave you with this final thought.”
He knelt down to the point where he eyed the struggling ponies and dragon.
“Why fight to bring harmony and magic to a world that has already given up on it long ago?”
A question of which Duscan al Ghul waits for no response. He left the Equestrian Heroes to meet their fate, to join his father to ensure their final act of justice upon Gotham City reached full swing.
“No one comes out,” He ordered. “Make sure of that.”
And just like that, he walked toward a waiting SWAT van, climbed inside, and it drove away leaving the heroes to their doom.
<>
In her apartment, Rachel woke from her bed and laid there for several seconds. She tried to recall exactly how she ended up there in the first place. It was then she saw vials of antidote sitting on her bedside table and quickly sat up, remembering just what needed to be done.
She quickly snatched up the antidotes and made her way out of the apartment. There was a job that needed to be done, and Rachel was determined to succeed at all costs.
<>
Meanwhile, the fire quickly worked its way through Wayne Manor. Bruce Wayne himself was lying along the floor, pinned by the burning timber unconscious. The ninja Ra’s al Ghul and his son left behind stood guard at the side door, staring into the flames to make sure the sole surviving member of the Wayne family, along with some meddling ponies and dragon, never saw the light of day.
*WHACK!!!*
The ninja dropped to the floor like a ton of bricks. Alfred stood over the unconscious man, armed with a nine iron.
“I sincerely hope you’re not from the fire department,” The butler muttered.
Running into the burning house, it didn’t take very long to find his master. He immediately dropped the golf club as he tried shifting the burning wood from his young charge’s chest. Breathing heavily and coughing due to the heat and smoke, Alread reached across the timber and slapped the young man’s face… hard.
“Master Wayne! Master Wayne!”
With a groan, Bruce’s eyes flickered open, spotting Alfred, and he tried to move the beam without much luck.
“Sir,” Alfred groaned, exasperated. “Whatever is the point of all those push-ups if you can’t even move a bloody log!”
Unbeknownst to the two, a member of the Court of Owls snuck behind them with a knife in hand. He raised the knife high above his head, ready to bring it down upon the old butler.
*BANG!!!*
The sound of a loud gunshot caused everyone to jump, and the Court member ran for his life as John Wycliffe raced into the manor with a gun in hand. He saw the member running off around the corner and fired off a few more rounds as he disappeared. John then looked over toward Bruce and quickly raced to help Alfred lift the beam off of Bruce. Eventually, the three men finally lifted the beam off and Bruce sat up. He looked at his old friends with a look of relief upon his face.
“Thank you,” He said breathlessly.
“I was hoping I wasn’t too late to attend your party,” John chuckled. “From the looks of things, it was certainly quite the ordeal.”
“You could say that…” Bruce chuckled weakly. “But you need to get as far away from Gotham as possible. This whole city is about to become a war zone and I don’t want to see you caught up in the middle of it.”
“Let me help you, Bruce,” John urged. “You need a doctor.”
“I’ll be fine,” Bruce replied stubbornly. “I’m more worried about you and your family. Aside from Alfred, you’re the closest thing to a father I have left. I can’t lose anyone else.”
John wanted to protest his desire to help. Ultimately though, he understood where Bruce was coming from.
“I’m going to call the fire department and then I’ll get my family out of here as soon as possible,” John told him.
He gave a nod of his head and quickly made his way out the front door of the mansion to retrieve the police. Meanwhile, Alfred helped Bruce off the ground. The sound of clanking metal drew their immediate attention, and the pair spotted the Equestrians trapped beneath the metal netting.
“Hey guys, mind helping us out of here?!” Rainbow yelled.
“I may be a dragon and have no problem with fire, but I have no desire to be stuck in this house when it comes crashing down!” Spike said urgently.
Bruce and Alfred hurried toward them as fast as they possibly could, helping them lift the heavy metal netting off of them. Eventually they all made their way through the burning house. Staggering through the smoke and flames, Alfred supported Bruce into the study, which was also burning around. He stabbed at the correct piano keys so they the bookcase swung open, and then hauled the young man into the lift while the house collapsed. The Mane Six and Spike quickly followed them inside, as Alfred yanked the lever causing them to drop just as smoke and flames exploded through the passage.
With a resounding crash, the lift landed hard inside the Batcave. Everyone looked up to catch huge flames exploding as the mansion finally collapsed.
“Thank Celestia we got out of there!” Twilight gasped loudly.
“T-T-Too close for comfort if you ask me,” Fluttershy sighed heavily.
Bruce stared back up the shaft with a devastated expression. Over the sounds of the crumbling manor in the distance, tears began to run down his face. For as the older man began checking his master’s legs for any sign of injury, he could feel Bruce’s pain.
“What have I done, Alfred?” He whispered. “Everything my family… everything my father built…”
Alfred winced when he found a gash along Bruce’s side, having lifted the tux only to find blood on the shirt beneath it.
“The Wayne legacy is more than bricks and mortar, sir,” He said hoarsely.
Bruce kept staring toward the flames high above, lost in his own despair.
“I thought I could…” He whispered. “… Help Gotham… but I’ve failed.”
The Equestrians turned toward Bruce with seriousness burning in their eyes.
“You’ve failed no one, Bruce,” Rarity assured him. “You fought tooth and nail for this city and all its people when they needed you most.”
“That takes a hay load ah bravery and determination,” Applejack added.
“Sure, it hasn’t been easy,” Spike admitted. “But just because things look bleak right now, that doesn’t mean it's over just yet. We can still get out there and save this city.”
“And no one, not the League of Shadows, the Court of Owls, the Dazzlings, nor anyone else will stand in our way,” Twilight encouraged. “We’re going to fight just the way we’ve done everything so far… together.”
“And why do we fall, sir?” Alfred echoed the words of Thomas Wayne. “So that we might better learn to pick ourselves up.”
To which Bruce weakly smiled to everyone, from his faithful butler to a group of strangers who stood beside him.
“Still haven’t given up on me?” He asked.
“Never,” They said in unison.
Fluttershy reached her hand toward Bruce, to which he took, and he stood up on his feet. There was much work left to do in Gotham City, a city they were determined to save at all costs.

Good to know, Cosby. This totally wouldn't fly now.
See moments like this, is why I like and respect Gordon.
In a stunning turn of events, an old enemy they thought to have perished earlier in the story has returned... but in a way, it turned out that while one guy did die... it was never the head of this one group. For now, the truth is revealed: Not only do we know the secret leader behind the League, but it turns out they are in cahoots with the Court of Owls (A union most Batman fans would say is impossible). But with any luck, good things are bound to come around for the group. Yes, they barely escape a fire and a magical weapon, but now they have more of a motivation to fight for this city even when all hope is lost again.
And who knows? If a particular Siren could turn her life around due to a simple act of kindness, then imagine what further surprises await later in this story?

He's a good man (Except in the 'Harley Quinn' adaptation). A man for the people, doing things for them and not for himself. That's the kind of people we need in our police force, who live by the badge and serve (and protect) the community.
That, is a very good question. There, is definitely someone out there supplying these people with them. And, giving them a heads up about Twilight and her friends
I would have titled this episode as follows:
"The True Demon Face"
Wait.... didn't Twilight already teleport her? In the last chapter?
The final battle of Gotham is upon them. Now more than ever, Gotham needs her Dark Knight.
This was something that Sonata desperately needed. Just someone who can give her some positive reinforcement after trying so damn hard to be good for the b
hes who were supposed to be her family. And i am glad that it was Gordon who gave her this, and just goes to show the kind of man he is in a city swimming in corruption and sin. Now all that is left is for Sonata to make a dramatic appearance in the fight between the Mane 6 (+ Spike) and the Dazzlings, Siren Song against Siren Song.
11449440
Gotham may not have wanted 'Batman in the beginning, but in their most dire crisis he (And his allies in this story) are needed much more than ever. After all, there is a difference between 'need' and 'want'. When the city 'needs' Batman, but don't 'want' him he will stay and defend the city from a variety of crime. But when they 'want' Batman, but no longer 'need' him, then it's up to everyone in the city to do their part.
11449443
We'll think about what there is to do for Sonata and what's to happen to her after this project in general. This chapter won't be the last we hear of Sonata Dusk, as she too has a story to tell.
Wow, that was quick. You weren't kidding when you said you wanted to post this quickly before Xmas. Then again, the holidays tend to take a lot of time from all of us. Still, superb work there.
11449459
True that my good friend.
I’ll be there.
11449459
Well, you are right about one thing. The holidays do take a lot of our time, and Christmas is no exception. Even if some people don't celebrate the holiday exactly, it is that one time of the year to get together, to look forward to a new year to come, and attempt to relieve ourselves after a frightful period of stress during the past few months.
11449447
a sirens song no but more like.....
.....a robins
That party sure took a crazy turn, and I'm not talking about Pinkie going overboard with excitement. And it looks like Sonata found someone to lean onto while she's down.
11449541
Then again, Pinkie Pie did nearly make a scene at that party. If she had it her way, there'd be nothing left if she consumed that whole chocolate fountain. And it seems as though Sonata made a truly legit friend in the soon-to-be Commissioner Gordon. And if not as an act of friendship, at least a sense in compassion to at least recognize that even a girl like Sonata didn't look like the type to belong behind bars. Most girls would feign innocence as a means to escape confinement, but not this one. He knew that Sonata was hurting, even if he didn't know what for and he had to help.
11449560
Tara Strong was not the original voice of Harley Quinn, that much we know for sure. But yeah, it would be funny if it felt like Tara Strong talking to herself in some degree. Some consider Tara Strong's portrayal of the 'Clown Princess of Crime' a favorite of theirs. A big concern moving forward, given we knows what happens to the good doctor, is if this could potentially affect whatever friendship they were starting here. They may not have started as friends, just having some friendly chatter, but still... a good person who suddenly cracks and turns evil, it's going to bring back some memories for Twilight.
Time to save Gotham, go Batman and Power Ponies XD woot woot, im happy Sonata is in the care of Gordon, i wonder what her future holds. Top notch work Lord E and Drama, as always...love it

Petro: Yeesh, this guy really needs to lighten up.
Sunset Shimmer: Well can you blame him, he cared for the Wayne family for years.
Postwar: Plus there are many worlds where there are some Alfreds who are strict and try to talk Bruce Wayne out of his quest for Justice.
Cal Kestis: He really knows how to draw a crowd?
Postwar: Pff, like you're one to talk. You constantly go out there, looking for answers and you always draw too much attention to yourself.
Galen Marek: He's not wrong, the Empire constantly hunted you everywhere you went. It's a miracle you didn't get killed.
Postwar: You get certain people Rainbow. Some will just cast a deaf ear. That's sometimes a curse of being a hero.
Sunset Shimmer: *Groans and rolls her eyes* I know what you mean, my Rainbow is constantly like that, no matter how many times we try to tell her otherwise.
Postwar: How is it the human version of Rainbow is more stubborn than the pony one?
Sunset Shimmer: It's a mystery to all of us.
Katochi: He really cares about the family legacy huh?
Postwar: Kind of like all of us. Some want to preserve the legacy of the Jedi Order like Luke, some who preserve Princess Twilight and her friends' legacy like many ponies, and there are those that try to preserve the Rainbooms' legacy.
Sunset Shimmer: *Looked at him surprised* Really?
Postwar: Yeah, you wouldn't believe how many students at CHS want to preserve your legacy, even Principle Celestia and her sister want to preserve it there.
Sunset couldn't believe what she was hearing, and was later thinking about going over there for a visit soon.
Ahsoka Tano: Wow, they really do have a habit of knowing what they're saying, huh?
Sunset & Postwar: You get used to it.
Zatt: Wow, she's really fast, isn't she?
Sunset Shimmer: That's Pinkie Pie for you.
Postwar: No matter which world you are.
Petro: He's not wrong there, after all the hard work he puts for the Dark Knight, he should consider getting paid more.
Ganodi: Surprisingly, I agree with you on that one too.
Katochi: Man, that girl has problems.
Postwar: Try working in the same plain of reality with both her and her human counterpart every day.
Sunset Shimmer: He's not wrong. Trying to keep up with her is a nightmare and exhausting.
Zatt: Those two really do know how to make a good team.
Cal Kestis: Wish my friends and I were more effective when going out in the galaxy.
Postwar: I'm surprised you lot didn't help us out when Sunset was in danger.
Galen Marek: Hey yeah, why didn't you help us?
Ahsoka Tano: It wasn't our place. We had to stop other threats to the galaxy.
Sunset Shimmer: Worse than the Death Star? *Both Ahsoka and Cal looked sheepish and looked away*, that's what I thought.
Postwar: If they think that's bad, wait till they meet the Joker.
Others: The who?
Sunset Shimmer: Trust me, don't let the name fool you, he's twice as dangerous as any villain. He's a true psychopath, a monster.
Postwar: And if you don't believe her. *shows them the pictures of all Joker's crimes, which horrified everyone*.
Sunset Shimmer: Oh, poor Sonata.
Postwar: I really hope they can help her. *Gungi growls in sadness whilst also agreeing*
Everyone couldn't help but pity the poor girl, even if she was bad in the Galaxy, they could see she was a kind soul.
Ahsoka Tano: Very impressive. Gordon really is a great man.
Postwar: There are fewer people who are honest and brave like him.
Sunset Shimmer: Agreed.
Cal Kestis: Definitely.
Galen ended up smiling, feeling like he could learn a lot from this man.
Byph: Now it's definitely a race against time.
Zatt: You can say that again.
Postwar: TMI Pinkie, TMI.
Sunset Shimmer: I love Pinkie, I really do, but she really needs to learn to take this seriously.
Ben Solo: Oh no, it's him. And something tells me he's not here to give a thank you.
Postwar: You don't have to tell me twice.
Postwar: To quote a villain from the underground caverns, "There's an epidemic in returns".
Sunset Shimmer: You can say that again. *She then remembered what Postwar said to her about the Emperor, which left her a little afraid on the inside*
Sunset Shimmer: Knowing him, he'll probably have an idea.
Postwar: He always does.
Galen Marek: He's more twisted then Vader on a good day. *Sees a glare from Ahsoka* No offense.
Postwar: Though he does have a point, Anakin failed one part of his test, and that's the result of him falling into darkness.
Cal Kestis: The pieces are being placed, and soon the true battle will begin.
Postwar: Wise words Cal. Master Tapal would be very proud.
Sunset Shimmer: They were working together the whole time?!
Postwar: Huh, you'd think they'd be on opposite sides, I mean they have vision, only their methods differ.
Ahsoka Tano: I know what you mean. Long ago, Jabba the Hut also didn't like the Empire, but he'd rather enjoy his spoils rather than help the Rebellion fight against them.
Sunset Shimmer: And I thought the Emperor was twisted.
Galen Marek: You can say that again.
Byph: Sometimes I wonder why the Benefactor didn't recruit them.
Postwar pondered in agreement, thinking of the same thing.
Petro: *Groans*, does that man ever take things seriously?!
Zatt: They really need to do something about law enforcement.
Postwar: They will, just not yet.
Postwar stood up in shock, gaining their attention.
Postwar: It can't be.
Sunset Shimmer: Postwar?
Postwar: I have to go *Instantly teleports away*

Back at CA Headquarters
Postwar rushes down the hall, passing every member he could, desperate to get there. He arrived at a room that he knew all too well. He opened it and searched through the shelves. When he arrived at the latest one, he was shocked, for at least ten shelves were empty.
Postwar: Oh no, this is bad. Really bad.
Postwar takes up his communicator and talked to Phantom.
Postwar: Phantom, it's me. We got a problem. A real problem. You know those artifacts that the Court of Owls used. I know them, they're from the CA arsenal...I know, I just got here and I saw all of them are gone. And from what I could tell, a few months....I know...I know, only a member of CA could...
*Then realized something*
Postwar: Phantom, I think we're gonna have to call Mr. E and the rest of the Administrators group. You may not like to hear this...but I think we had a traitor on our midst.
next
11449587
A traitor? Well, it can't possibly be me or Mr. Enigma. Why would either of us want to sabotage our own company?
11449590
Postwar: Maybe it could be our former members. I mean some of them did held a grudge against us ever since we kicked them out. They must've taken them and none of us had realized it.
11449595
That would explain why Phantom-Dragon, among other names, keep getting thumbs downs on their posts. Even the ones that don't bash the members who were kicked out, just casually starting conversation. Course, that would leave so many to choose from.

Postwar then came back and sat down next to the others.
Sunset Shimmer: What's wrong?
Postwar: I warned my group of a potential threat. But hopefully we'll get it sorted soon.
Sunset Shimmer: Oh no, they have to hurry.
Ahsoka Tano: Not to worry. Fate has a way of helping others.
Galen Marek: You know, he does have a point.
Postwar: Sometimes Batman can be a nincompoop.
Sunset couldn't help but laugh at that response.
Sunset Shimmer: Oh thank Celestia, that was close.
Ganodi: You can say that again, I've never been this terrified in all my life.
Ben Solo: Come on Batman, don't lose hope. This fight's not over yet.
Gungi growled in agreement.
Ahsoka Tano: And so the fight begins.
Zatt: I hope they'll be able to save everyone in time.
Petro: I know they will.
11449597
True. We'll have to tread carefully though. They know most of our secrets and codes, no doubt they'd sell that to the benefactor and the rest of their group.
11449583
Well now I'm curious on where this anti-magic stuff is going.
Nice moment with Jim Gordon and Sonata there. That is exactly why Batman trusts that guy
11449645
After all that chaos and despair, it was only right to include at least a tender sequence between someone close to a fatherly figure that Sonata has ever encountered. In a way, because of this one chance encounter, it may slightly change Sonata's perspective on folk initially deemed prey.
11449595
Well, it isn't me because I resigned long ago and I doubt my pal Toonwriter would do the same thing.
Amazing
I love that Gordon showed Sonata kindness. Hopefully, she'll learn the same lesson Bruce did: that kindness does exist.

Canterlot Mall Theater, Discord's Branch
Juniper: Well, with a vehicle like that. It would, be almost impossible to not have it draw attention
Rainbow: Not as much, when Trixie wants to get attention
Arctic: Hey, she’s not (stops for a moment) Well, she’s at least trying (he said a bit sheepishly)
Rainbow: Debatably (she responds back towards Ace)
Applejack: I can understand, I wanna keep my Apple family legacy going (she said nodding her head)
Rarity: And, I wanna keep my designer legacy going. So, more people can enjoy what they like
Pinkie: Don’t forget us! (She exclaimed) We do a lot, of good and there could be a next generation of heroes that would be inspired by us! (She finished with a grin(
Sci-Twi: You’re, right about that. All of you (she said nodding her head agreeing with what they said)
Juniper: They really, been with each other a long time to finished each other sentences
Applejack: You have, no idea (she said and glance at Rainbow)
Rainbow: (Notice Applejack look) Oh, what now?!
Fluttershy: S-She has a point. (She admitted softly agreeing with Applejack)
Arctic: Well, that could’ve gone better (he said)
Pinkie: But, it’s a party Acey! (She said happily) And, now there is a chance to finally enjoy it
Rarity: We know, how much you love parties Pinkie. But, like before there is a time and place for them
Sci-Twi: You, definitely deserve a raise for sure
Juniper: After, what we seen him do for him and his family. Can’t argue with that
Arctic: (Looks over at the Rainbooms) Has that ever-
Rainbooms minus Pinkie: Yes (they said towards Ace)
Arctic: Yeah, thought as much
Sci-Twi: Honestly, didn’t believe myself when I heard about it the first time. Man, was I proven wrong
Rainbow: (she had a little smirk) Man, I’m liking they way the work together
Arctic: You and me both Rainbow (he said as he fist bump with her)
Sci-Twi: At least, they’re free from the mind control
Juniper: And, that means they can start getting the rest of the people out of there. Just hope, they can in time
Fluttershy: (had small tears coming out as she was pulled into a hug by Pinkie) I-I really do feel bad
Rainbow: I’m sure, all do Flutters (she said as she rubs her head to comfort her friend to)
Arctic: She deserves, so much better. She has a kind soul, was just misguided and with the wrong people (he mentioned)
The Rainbooms and Juniper smile softly at this and like the heartwarming moment between the two.
Arctic: I’m proud of Gordon. (He said with a small smile)
Sci-Twi: I can see, why you like him. He really makes a wonderful cop
Pinkie: Yeah, I hope this means a new life and turn around for Nata (she said with a smile)
Arctic: Me to Pinkie, me to. (He said having a small loving smile as he hope the same thing)
Rarity: (would notice the type of smile Ace is making and let’s out a small giggle)
Rainbow: What’s so funny Rares? (She ask the fashionista)
Rarity: Oh, nothing Darling. Nothing at all (she said with a smile)
Juniper: That, doesn’t sound good (she said a bit worried)
Sci-Twi: Whatever time, is left they will, need to pick up the pace and fast to.
Most of the group would blush a little from from this as Ace had cover his face a bit
Arctic: I think, Rainbow talks about what, shecdoes with her Applejack starting to rub off on her
Applejack: E-Eyup (she said covering her face a bit with her hat)
Fluttershy: O-Oh no (she said a bit worried)
Pinkie: Maybe, his here to say thank you? (She said hopefully)
Rainbow: I don’t, think that’s the case here Pinkie
Fluttershy: He’ll, have a plan right (she ask hopefully)
Sci-Twi: I’m sure, he does Fluttershy. He always does
Arctic: And, it would be a good plan and most likely a unpredictable one to (he added on)
Rainbow: Man, this guy is insane (he said)
Arctic: Just you wait, until you meet The Joker. His more twisted then you can imagine (he said softly and could only imagine what how will feel when they see him)
Arctic: Slowly but surely. The battle draws closer and closer
This cause the group to feel worried for The Elements Of Harmony and Bruce.
Fluttershy: I-I don’t like this
Sci-Twi: To think, both sides would work together. Things, have really gotten more Tougher
Rainbow: I means, they’ll be fine right? They’ve been, in worst situations
Arctic: They will be, though it’s surprising that they did decide to work together
Sci-Twi: Really, don’t like this guy (she said with a small glare)
Rarity: I agree Darling, he doesn’t have to be like this all the time
Rainbow: They, need better officers and not recruit people like him
Arctic: You can, say that again Dash.
Arctic: N-No way.. this shouldn’t be possible (he begins to say in his thoughts) How, how are they getting this. They, shouldn’t have anything. This, this proves are theory. Someone, is giving these out all over the place. Perhaps, i should look into this more with the others (he continues to say in his thoughts but, couldn’t help but be worried still)
Fluttershy: P-Please, please hurry. They have to get out (she said worried)
Arctic: Yeah, that seems to be a trend sometimes. Where, someone does amazing things. But then, can’t even lift something as simple as a log.
Pinkie: Oh, just Like Ash when, he carried heavy Pokemon but couldn’t pick up a log?
Arctic: (nods) Exactly. (He said to the party girl)
Rainbow: Um, who’s Ash and..what’s a Pokémon? (She questions)
Arctic & Pinkie: Oh, maybe one day you’ll find out (they both said together)
The Girls signed in relief seeing them safe and just in the nick of time to.
Juniper: That, was too close. (She said)
Rainbow: Come on, don’t say things like that! (She declared)
Applejack: She’s right. This isn’t over, they’re still time left!
Sci-Twi & Juniper: To Save Everyone!
Pinkie and Rarity: And Gotham City too!
Fluttershy: S-So please, don’t lose hope!
Arctic: There, we go Bruce (he said with a small smile) Don’t lose that hope.
Sci-Twi: So now, the fight draws near
Arctic: (would nod his head) Indeed Twi, it’s the Final Countdown. To save Gotham City and it’s people.
Ok. I'm home, I'm home. I'm working now.
What a way to spoil a party (or in this case, burn it down). Henri was Ra's al Ghul this whole time, and the League of Shadows weren't competing, they were collaborating to destroy Gotham. Although his entrance has been very epic, what annoys me about this villain is his hypocrisy, since he sees Gotham as a doomed city, but when someone tries to improve it and prove him wrong, Ra's eliminates him as long as he does not recognize his mistakes. He, and his justice, are as rotten as the evil they seek to destroy. Another example of his hypocrisy is that he sees compassion and pity as a weakness, but neither he nor Duscan would be alive now if it wasn't for Bruce, The Mane 6 an Spike taking pity on them (although after this, I doubt they'd ever care). show it again). But those two are going to learn that you should never take your enemy for dead when he isn't; that, and that neither Bruce nor the ponies nor the dragon should be underestimated, because they are not going to give up.
Something I like about the movie (and the saga in general) are the secondary characters. Not everything depends on Batman. Alfred, John Wycliffe, Rachel and Gordon all do important things that help Bruce succeed in his tasks; and now they're all going to have to work together if they want to stop what's coming.
I liked the emotional support that Gordon gives Sonata (this policeman is going to be a good father). It would be nice if The Mane 6 find a way to counter that anti-magic metal. Maybe they could use it too, against Chrysalis and their other enemies.

Granny Smith: (To Apple Bloom) "Pretty sure that's human talk for, 'Oh Faust! We're all gonna die!'"
Big Mac: (Agreeing with Granny Smith) "Eeyup..."
:
Big Mac: "Yup..."
Big Mac: "Ee...sad but true..."
Diamond Tiara: "I don't care who that Mr. Earle thinks he is, he should be fired, effective and immediately!"
Diamond Tiara: "Now you're talking!"
Big Mac: (Agreeing with Diamond Tiara) "Yup!"
Princess Celestia: (Smiles proudly and looks to Princess Luna) "Reminds you of a certain pony who knows how to take the initiatives?" (But Luna didn't respond) "Lulu?"
Stygian: (To Princess Celestia) "She's concerned about that Sonata..."
Mistmane: "Normally, I'd be fascinated and see the beauty of it. But under this atrocious circumstance, I'm downright disgusted..."
Mage Meadowbrook: (To Mistmane) "Took the words right out of my mouth."
Somnambula: "Still...after what we have witnessed, I hope that Sonata will be alright..."
Random Dude: "No! No way! You look...well...I'm not gonna lie, you look–"
Other Random Dude: "You look like a mess! A real fish out of water."
Crazy Steve: (To Other Random Dude) "QUIET!" (Repeatedly slaps the other random dude on the face with a fish)
He ain't the only one.
Princess Luna is legendary for her love of children, even young and scared teenagers, including Sunset Shimmer. And seeing Sonata like this just makes her longing for her missing children, more and more. Storm Shield and Princess Celestia both understood the heartbreak Princess Luna was experiencing.
Capper Dapperpaw: "Uh...about that..."
Everyone in the audience all felt sorry to hear all this from Sonata.
Trixie: (To Stygian) "Is this the same siren who nearly destroyed your village years ago? And corrupted Sunset Shimmer in the Galaxy, by making her look like an idiot?"
Stygian: (To Trixie) "Honestly...I don't know anymore. It's as if...I don't know her anymore..."
Princess Luna placed a hoof over her chest, easing her own heartbreak, which Celestia took notice. She wrapped her wings around her own sister to comfort her.
Big Mac: "Yup."
Starlight Glimmer: "I second that!"
Tempest Shadow: (Sympathy) "I've had my fair shares of falling in with the wrong crowd. And I still am. And I've got the food stains to show for it..." (She said, just as a bucket of popcorn falls on her, and she gets pecked by pigeons) "But...to be fair, I totally deserved them."
Trixie: "The Great and Powerful TRIXIIIIIIEEEE...offers a hoof of friendship for Sonata Dusk."
Fourth Wall Break
Me: (To Mr. E) "Hey! What am I? Chopped livers?" (Look in Extra Cuts for Chapter Return to Gotham.)
Extra Cut
And at that rotten moment, I practically came into the story...
Me: (Falls out of an air vent) "WHOA!" (Crash lands in front of Gordon and Sonata) "Ow..."
Gordon: "What the–" (Stands protectively between Sonata and me) "FREEZE!" (Takes out his gun) "Put your hands in the air!"
Me: (To Gordon) "Whoa, whoa, wait! Don't shoot! I'm not a criminal! I come in peace!"
Sonata Dusk: (To me) "What the...a Mandalorian?! Did Sunset Shimmer sent you to come after me? Because I'm sorry! I–"
Me: (To Sonata) "I'm not here to arrest you, Sonata... Surprisingly, I'm here to rescue you..."
Carrie White: (Comes out of the air vent) "WE came to rescue you!" (Drops down with Derick and the others joining)
Sonata Dusk: (To Carrie) "Carrie? Derick?"
Gordon: (To Sonata) "You know these people?"
Me: (To Gordon) "Yeah..." (I took off my helmet to show my face) "She does."
Sonata Dusk: (Looks at me and gasps) "No way! P.D?! You're the man from the taco stand? And Carrie's chaperone? It's you? You're a...a Mandalorian?!"
Me: (To Sonata Dusk) "Uh...not traditionally...but–"
Gordon: "Hey. I'm sorry for interrupting a heartfelt reunion and all, but...we should get going, while the getting is good."
Me: (To Gordon) "Uh, right. Yes sir! Lead the way, officer!" (In the meantime, I called Hunter and Shadowshion, updating them on the situation)
Extra Cut
In the meantime, Derick and the others took the moment to ask Sonata Dusk some questions.
Derick: (To Sonata) "So, uh...if you don't mind me asking. How's a girl like you ended up here to begin with?"
Sonata Dusk: (Sad and angry) "Ugh, where do I start?"
Grubber: "Stand back officer. He's crazy!"
Princess Celestia: (Whimpers in worry) "Oh...Twilight...be safe..."
Extra Cut
By then, Sonata had filled us in on what happened.
Me: (Cracking my knuckles) "Why those good for nothin' bitches! They've really gone too far this time!"
Derick: (Agreeing with me) "I'll say! Give me a dagger and I'll make sushi out of them!"
Krystal: (To me and Derick) "Save your ires for later. Right now, we need to get out of here!"
Sonata Dusk: (Sighs) "I can't believe it took me this long to realize that!"
Me: (To Sonata) "Well, better late than never..."
Eric Bischoff: "Hey, I know how they feel. One time, we had to do that with one of our own WWE Wrestlers, after he failed to steal R-Truth's 24/7 Championship Belt, until he calms down."
Stone Cold Steve Austin: "Speaking of which..." (Looks over at the audience to see almost half of them are tied to their chairs, with their eyes trained on Trixie – the current holder of the 24/7 Championship Belt, and the magnet of gold fevers)
Starlight Glimmer: "Well, she Pinkie Promised. So, she's good to her words."
Audience: "DUSCAN AL GHUL?!"
Random Dudette: *High-pitch scream*
Tempest Shadow: (Incredulous) "How is he even still alive?! We saw him die in the explosion! His entire monastery and cult exploded sky high!"
Gilda: "Uh...can someone explain for me again? I'm so confused..."
Starlight Glimmer: (To Gilda) "Apparently, those guys pulled a switcheroo on us! That guy is the real Ra's al Ghul!"
Mare-Do-Well: "You've been hoodwinked!"
Luster Dawn: (To Mare-Do-Well) "We all were!"
Princess Luna: "Wolves in sheep clothings..."
Shining Armor: (PTSD flashback of Queen Chrysalis and her changelings getting behind Canterlot defense) "It's the Royal Canterlot Wedding all over again..."
Princess Cadence: (Comforts Shining Armor) "Queen Chrysalis had us all fooled...."
Mare-Do-Well: "What is he doing?"
Sassy Saddles: "Oh, I see where he's going with that." (Smiles in admiration) "Clever."
Quibble Pants: "A classic insult for the right reason kind of thing."
Big Mac: "Ouch...but also, no."
Tempest Shadow: "And if that stuff makes it here in our world, then..."
Mayor Mare: "Ponyville will be renamed Fear-Ville, and all of Equestria will be a kingdom of nightmare!"
Eric Bischoff: "Just like how we nearly tear ourselves apart from fear..."
Just about everyone in the audience were scared to death, having PTSD of the demons that subjected them to their living nightmares. Including one such specter, who is lying in wait to pounce again.

Capper Dapperpaws: "And we've seen too many lives being destroyed by megalomaniacs like you! Believe me!"
Big Mac: "Eeyup."
Tempest Shadow: "And I thought Emperor Palpatine and the Storm King were sick enough..."
Tempest Shadow: "Then congratulations. You've just wrote a perfect resume for villainy and war crimes..."
Grubber: (To Tempest Shadow) "Kinda like yours, huh?" (Gets a death glare from Tempest Shadow and a dope slap from Glitter Drops)
Sweetie Belle: "OH NO!!!"
Scootaloo: "Oh Faust..."
Apple Bloom: "Here we go again."
Button Mash: "DON'T LET HIM SPRAY THE FEAR GAS AGAIN!" (Hides under his chair)
Extra Cut
My group and I were following Gordon and Sonata out of the asylum, just as the cells opened up and the inmates roamed free.
Me: (Experiencing PTSD with an alternate universe of the Riddler) "Uh...riddle me this. What's going on?"
Autumn Blaze: "THEY'RE TAKING OVER THE CITY!"
Bulk Biceps: "YEEEEEEAAAAAHHHH!!!"
Silver Shill: (Annoyed) "Oh no, not these lunatics again..." (To Princess Luna) "Uh, no offense."
Princess Luna: (Shrugs) "None taken."
Trixie: (Sarcasm) "Yeah. Real nice detective work, Princess Twilight."
Starlight Glimmer: (To Trixie) "Don't you start, Trixie..."
Tree Hugger: "Hey...no disrespecting the forest there, man. We need to save the trees..."
Tempest Shadow: "Wow...that's actually a smart move..." (Gets weird looks from the surrounding audience members) "...in terms of warfare."
Princess Luna: "I highly doubt that!"
Princess Cadence: "Twilight and Bruce Wayne will stop them!"
Shining Armor: "I know so, for a fact my sister will stop them!"
Flurry Heart: "Auntie Twilight and her friends always win in the end!"
Extra Cut
Fighting alongside them, my group and I provided protective covers for Gordon and Sonata.
This is, without a doubt, the biggest jailbreak I've ever seen since the jailbreak in Marvel's Spider-Man PS4.
Me: (Blasting flamethrowers and palm blasters at every attacking inmates) "Get back! BACK!" (Unfortunately, my flamethrowers ran out of gas, and my palm blasters were soon low on batteries) "Uh oh...I'm out of juice!"
Krystal: "DOCTOR!" (Somersaults over my shoulders to defend me from an inmate with a swing of her staff)
Me: (Patting Krystal on the shoulder) "Thanks Krystal!" (I run into the chaos and fought every inmates using my Taekwondo skills) "Everyone quietly return to your cells and lock the doors behind you. Okay?"
During the chaos, Carrie was using her telekinesis to keep every criminals at bay, when she spotted the mysterious man amidst the chaos. She froze, as if she saw a ghost, who disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Derick: "CARRIE, LOOK OUT!" (Shoves Carrie out of the way, to save her from an attacking inmate)
Extra Cut
Me: (Rolling my eyes beneath my helmet) "Do we have to do everything ourselves?" (To Gordon) "Where's the nearest control room? And what buttons do I need to press to raise the draw bridges?"
At that rotten timing, I got a call on my vambrace.
Me: (Answering the call) "Hello? Who is this?"
Mina: (From my communicator) "Dr. PhD? Where are you? Are you alright?"
Me: (Sarcasm) "Oh, I'm fine. Just y'know, trapped in a prison with every criminals that Gotham has ever–ACK!" (Something wrapped around my neck, like a noose and pulled me away)
Blitzo: (To me with a slasher smile) "Thought you could get away from me, didn't you?"
Me: (To Blitzo) "Not you again...ACK!" (Coughed when Blitzo tighten his grip on my some more)
Krystal: (Sees me in danger) "Doctor!" (Was about to run to my rescue when Blitzo held me at gunpoint)
Blitzo: "Don't even move!" (Clicks the safety off his gun) "Or this man gets it!" (Suddenly, his gun was snatched out of his hand, telekinetically) "What the–" (Was suddenly blasted away into the crowd of rioting inmates) "WHOOOOOAAAA!!!"
We all looked towards Carrie, seeing she had stretched her hands out, towards where Blitzo originally stood.
Luster Dawn: "Not bloody likely..."
Tempest Shadow: "Too well."
Big Mac: "Eeyup."
Button Mash: "HEY! Cheap move!"
Tempest Shadow: "All too true..."
Capper Dapperpaw: "An eye for an eye, as they say..."
Chummer: (To Capper) "You telling me?" (Points to his eyepatch, covering his scarred face where one of his eyes used to be)

Apple Bloom: "GO APPLEJACK!"
Sweetie Belle: (Annoyed) "OH COME OOOOOONNNN!!!!"
Everyone in the audience were all exchanging worries and concerns for our Equestrian Heroes.
Extra Cut
At this moment, I got a call from Postwar.
Me: (Talking to the communicator on my vambrace) "This is Phantom-Dragon. Go ahead."
Postwar: Phantom, it's me. We got a problem. A real problem. You know those artifacts that the Court of Owls used.
Me: "What about them?"
Postwar: (Continued) "I know them, they're from the CA arsenal..."
Me: "WHAT?! But how? They were..."
Postwar: (Continued) "I know, I just got here and I saw all of them are gone. And from what I could tell, a few months...."
Me: "But that's impossible! Shadowshion had CA HQ locked up tight when he came for me and Hunter to assist us in protecting Carrie! And only a member of the CA could–"
Postwar: (Continued) "I know...I know, only a member of CA could..." (Beat) "Phantom, I think we're gonna have to call Mr. E and the rest of the Administrators group. You may not like to hear this...but I think we had a traitor on our midst."
Me: "A traitor?!" (Punches an attacking inmate away) "This is terrible...we're gonna have to...AH!" (I almost got jumped on by Moxxie and Millie, while protecting Carrie) "Keep me posted!" (I hang up the call and resumed the fight)
Everyone in the audience all cried out in tears for the Mane Six and Spike, pleading them to get up.
Nurse Redheart: "Hurry up..."

Sandbar: "Alright! Alfred the Butler to the rescue!" (Hears a snicker from Yona) "What's so funny?"
Yona: (To Sandbar) "Nothing..." (Chuckles to herself) "Alfred the Butt-ler."
Gabby: (Grabbing Gilda by the neck) "AH! The owl! THE OWL! Look out for the OWL!"
Rumble: "ALRIGHT!"
Bukl Biceps: "YEEEEEAAAAAHHHHH!!!!"
Audience: "Awwwww~"
Capper Dapperpaws: "That's real sweet, ain't it?"
Thorax: "OH! The horror!"
Gabby: (Tearfully) "Spikelove!" (Tightens her hold on Gilda's neck even more)
Gilda: (Her face turning purple) "Can't...breathe..."
The Audience: "Phew..."
Gilda eventually broke free from Gabby's worried grips and started to regain her breathing.
Mare-Do-Well: "It's not your fault man...blame the Court of Owls and that Ra's al Ghul creep for manipulating ya and pulling the puppet strings on this entire operation of madness!"
Big Mac: "Yup."
Bulk Biceps: "YEAH!"
Big Mac: "Eeyup."
Bulk Biceps: "YEAH!"

Extra Cut
Meanwhile, back in Arkham Asylum, I was done on the ground. Overwhelmed, overrun by the inmates, and the imps that have come to kill Carrie White. Gordon and Sonata Dusk are trapped, after Sonata had been betrayed by the Dazzlings, just like how the Cinematic Adventure were seemingly betrayed by a traitor in our midst.
I just don't know what to do anymore. I'm all out of napalm for my flamethrowers, my palm blasters have run out of power, and my team are biting off more than they could chew. And worse still...a traitor is ruining the Cinematic Adventure on my watch. I feel like it's all my fault and I was about to resign myself to my fate.
Me: "I'm sorry, Mr. E. I'm sorry Drama...sorry everyone..."
Rain Shine: (Singing in my head) "Phantom!"
Me: (To Rain Shine) "Right now, I can hardly breathe..."
Rain Shine: (To me) "Oh, you can do it, just know that I believe."
Me: (To Rain Shine) "Then that's all I really need."
Rain Shine: (To me) "Then come!"
Me: "Make me strong! It's time to turn it up. GAME ON!" (Coming back to reality, I spoke to my helmet) "Helmet! Play Airbourne – Runnin' Wild!"
Airbourne-Runnin' Wild
I got my second wind as got back up and resumed leading my extra cut and the commentary like the legend Mr. E and my colleagues saw me for. I needed to be a legend!
I got up, grabbed Millie and Moxxie, spinning them by their tails, using them as if they're nunchucks.
Moxxie: "THIS! IS! HUMILIATING!"
Millie: "I'M! SO! DIZZY!!!"
I was so into the moment, I lost all sense of thoughts. I wasn't overthinking it like I used to before! I was fighting off the inmates, like rock n roll! Blitzo tried to fight me, but he just couldn't keep up at my speed.
An inmate was running towards me with a large machete, but I dodged to the side, causing him to slice his blade at Blitzo, who dodged, causing the inmate to accidentally slice off one of his fellow inmate's hand off.
Inmate: (Looks at the bloody stump where his hand used to be) "AAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!" (Gets punched by Derick, knocking his lights out)
Derick: "MAN THAT FEELS GOOD!" (Was about to get dropped on by another inmate, when the inmate was thrown away by telekinesis)
Carrie White: (To Derick) "Watch your head, Derick."
At that moment, Blitzo clicked his gun, aiming it next to Carrie's head.
Blitzo: "No more...interruptions..."
Loona: "BLITZ, NO! WAAAAAIIITTT!!!" (Comes running into the exercise yard, grabbing Blitzo's gun away)
Blitzo: (To Loona) "Looney?"
Loona: (Panting heavily) "Blitz...Carrie...is...innocent..."
Anymore to chapters to come soon, Mr.E?
I say...bring them on!

Amazing! Simply, amazing! Man, a lot has happened and I am looking forward to seeing what happens next.
Though, I’m worried. To think, we have a traitor that’s providing these anti-magic tools to the enemy
Hey Mr. E and Drama.
In your honest opinion, how am I doing? Do I still got it? Do I still surprise you and everyone as I did in days long past?
I’m open for feedback and/or insightful criticism.
11449972
.
I'm not the traitor... because I will always, ALWAYS be loyal to MY princess
11450035
Of course you do man. You’ve still got it. I mean it’s always your commentaries I look forward to most of all when ever I lost a new chapter. Don’t let these downvotes from spiteful shitheads get you down. Just keep on doing what you do best and know that.you’re doing a great job.
11450178
Thank you!
I’m not.
But I do feel sorry for them, seeing how they never learned.
Will do.

Shadow's Extra cut part1
Earlier, I took Discord, Bugs, Taz and princess luna's child to the bunker for somethings, well we have arrived, the alarm was going off for a reason.
Me:"Who the heck set off the alarm, Computer, deactivate alarm".
Computer:"yes sir".
The alarm system was turn off and the noise stop.
Me:"Who set off the alarm system here"?
I Wonder for a moment until we heard from a door and we saw Pyro coming out of the room.
Me:"Pyro"!?.
Pyro:"Shadow, thank God I have found you".
Me:"What are you doing here and how did you get here"?.
Pyro:"After you left, we had a intruder in the base".
Me:(shocked)"WHAT"!!!!.
Pyro:A few months ago, blue spy appeared out of nowhere and stolen the artifacts and half of our anti-magical cuffs, and on day you went through the portal, blue spy followed you, Me and Demoman chase after him, but the we got through the portal, he was already gone.
Me"Where's Demoman"?.
Pyro:"He got caught by police for legal explosions and was sent to place called Arkham Asylum".
Me:(When I heard that, I remember that Phantom Dragon and Carrie White and the others are there)"then let's gear up, everyone".
And we did, I told Discord that his hero suit is modified for combat fight and he was happy to hear that.
Me:"Discord, care to teleport us to Arkham Asylum please"?.
Discord:"I'm one step ahead of you, Shadow"(Discord snapped his fingers and everyone disappeared).
This is where Phantom Dragon left on his Extra cuts....
