JohnnyChany Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 BATMAN/GARGOYLES CROSSOVER Part XII Summary: With all the inmates freed from Arkham Asylum, Batman had more than he could he handle. Even with the help of his usual allies like Robin and Nightwing, the dark knight was overwhelmed. Alfred sought out a new ally, David Xanatos, who has come forth ready to offer a helping hand along with the Manhattan Gargoyle Clan. Xanatos ended his conversation with Owen and hung up his cell phone. He turned around to see only Lexington standing there. “Where is Goliath?†asked Xanatos. “He left,†Lexington answered. “Left? Where?†“He went after Elisa. When he overheard what happened to your Coyote android, he started to worry for Elisa’s safety,†Lexington explained. “He’s really not used to following orders, only giving them. Hudson has even told me stories about way back when Goliath was his second in command and how he would...†Xanatos cut him off. “Did he at least take a communicator?†“No.†Alfred re-entered the Bat Cave with another man right behind him. “Excuse me, sir. This man, Macbeth, says he knows you and has come to help.†Xanatos’s demeanor briefly brightened. “Yes, excellent, this must be who Owen was referring to.†Macbeth shook hands with both Xanatos and Lexington. “I take it the rest of the Clan is already on the battlefield,†he said. “Battlefield?†Alfred repeated. “Don’t mind him, Alfred,†said Xanatos. “He has been around for a very long time.†“Yes I have, and lately my life has seen a severe lacking in adventure. When Owen told me what you had gotten involved with down here I couldn’t resist. How is the team doing so far?†asked Macbeth. Alfred returned to the Bat Computer and gave a status update. “Killer Croc destroyed the Coyote android, but the gargoyle named Broadway has checked in to report that he has successfully subdued Blockbuster. Many of the others have either recently just engaged with their targets or are still in pursuit so it is too early to tell. I am concerned about the gargoyle, Brooklyn. He reported that he had located Man-Bat awhile ago, but I have not received anything from him since then.†Suddenly a cloud of smoke filled the Bat Cave and when it dissipated, the magician, Zatanna appeared. Macbeth pointed his lightning gun at her. “Friend or foe?†he asked aloud to anyone willing to answer. “Miss Zatanna! What a pleasant surprise,†gushed Alfred. Macbeth lowered his gun. “I guess that answers it. “It’s always nice to see you, Alfred,†said Zatanna. “I came as soon as I could. I just had to finish up some official League business. Where is Bruce?†“Tracking down the Joker, currently. You know how that goes.†Xanatos extended a hand. “I don’t believe we’ve met.†“Oh, excuse my horrible manners, sir,†said Alfred. “Madam, this is Master Xanatos. He and his unique friends have been here helping us out.†Zatanna smiled. “How wonderful.†Macbeth shook her hand as well. “The name is Macbeth, my lady.†“Are you another one of Bruce’s allies?†asked Xanatos. “I am. As Alfred said, my name is Zatanna. I am one of the top magicians from the Justice League and Bruce and I have been close for a long time.†Lexington walked over to Alfred. “What were you saying about Brooklyn?†“Ah yes, good fortune has given use two more compatriots, but we must get back to business,†said Xanatos. “I fear that he has lost to Man-Bat,†said Alfred. “Should I go after him?†suggested Zatanna. “No,†answered Xanatos. “It looks like it’s going to be a long night, I believe we will need someone of your power to stay here.†He glanced over at Lexington. “To possibly make the night longer if necessary.†“If someone knows where he is, I would be more then happy to fetch our gargoyle friend,†said Macbeth. “Splendid. Alfred can you give Macbeth Brooklyn’s last known location.†After receiving the information from Alfred, Macbeth set off. On a rooftop in the middle of the city, Brooklyn crawled slowly away from his opponent. He was losing a lot of blood. “Help,†he mumbled into his communicator. It took him a minute to realize the communicator wasn’t working. It had been severely damaged in the fight. Man-Bat hovered over him, ready to go in for the kill. Suddenly, an electric blast smashed into Man-Bat. Brooklyn looked up to see Macbeth on his glider. “Mind if I take it from here?†said Macbeth. “Ma..ma...Macbeth,†replied Brooklyn. “I’ve never been happier to see you in my life.†Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSkillz Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Another good set-up, JohnnyChany. Brooklyn lost, huh? I guess people might underestimate him a bit due to his scrawny build. Well, I'm pretty sure Macbeth can finish the job from here. He can probably keep pace with Man-Bat in the air with his glider. With his skill, experience with fighting superstrong creatures in the Gargoyles, lighting gun and other arsenal, he should be able to take this.
