JohnnyChany Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 BATMAN/GARGOYLES CROSSOVER Part XIII 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. After Macbeth’s departure from the Bat Cave, Alfred, Xanatos, and Lexington did their best to bring Zatanna up to speed on what was going on in Gotham City and where things were at the moment. When it was done, Zatanna took a moment to soak in all the information. “Wow. You guys have been busy,†she finally said. “I must say that although I have been aware of gargoyles for some time I have never had the privilege of meeting any, let alone working with them. Such a noble race of beings, it is truly an honor.†Lexington smiled from ear to ear. “Thanks.†Xanatos turned his attention back to the computer and the business at hand. “Have you tried contacting Hudson? I am concerned that perhaps things went south against Clayface.†“I will try again, sir,†replied Alfred. A bright flash of light briefly illuminated the Bat Cave. “We will save you the time old man, the gargoyle has lost.†“And if things continue as they are he will lose more than just the battle.†The four allies turned around to catch a full view of the voices that had just spoke. Three beautiful women now stood before them. They were identical except for the color of their hair, one had white, the other blonde, and the third black. “The Weird Sisters,†gasped Lexington. “Luna, Phoebe, and Seline! Tonight is just full of surprises,†said Zatanna. “You know their names?†asked Lexington. Zatanna appeared briefly insulted by the question. “Yeah, the Children of Oberon are kind of a big deal in mystic circles.†“To what do we owe the pleasure of your company, ladies?†Xanatos inquired. “We are here to retrieve you and the gargoyles and take you back home,†answered Luna. “What?†“You are on a fool’s errand here in this wretched despot,†Seline scolded. “You are to stop immediately and return him," explained Phoebe. Xanatos was incredulous “We can’t go home, we just started.†“Lord Oberon entrusted you and the gargoyle clan with the protection of his offspring, your son, Alexander,†said Phoebe. “Yet you jeopardize that protection now by participating in a battle that does not directly effect you,†Seline added. “Already two gargoyles have fallen, and Oberon will not tolerate the loss of more,†Luna concluded. “If Oberon wants to keep us safe then shouldn’t you be helping us?†asked Lexington. “We are forbidden by Oberon’s Law to interfere in the dealings of mortals,†said Luna. Xanatos sighed. “Once again Oberon’s Law is subject to his own interpretation. Trying to force us to go home is the definition of interfering.†“We are simply keeping you in line with your true destiny.†“A destiny that involves you watching over Alexander so that he may grow to reach his full potential.†“A destiny that you foolishly risk by being here.†“With all due respect,†said Zatanna. “What they are doing here is important. We need them here. They are helping to save innocent people’s lives, and maybe even Batman’s as well.†“Meaningless lives,†countered Seline. “Whether they die tonight or twenty years from now is inconsequential to the bigger picture,†added Luna. “The same can not be said for Alexander,†concluded Phoebe. “No life is meaningless. Especially not the life of Bruce Wayne!†shouted Zatanna. “Be quiet now, Magician!†Seline commanded. “This conversation does not concern you,†said Luna. “The hell it doesn’t!†Zatanna replied as she pulled out her wand. “Do you really intend on challenging us, mortal?†Phoebe asked dismissively. “I can’t just let you take them. There is too much at stake.†Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSkillz Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Good set-up, JohnnyChany. This is going to be a tough mystical battle. Zatanna could try saying "Eb Enog", but since the Weird Sisters are among the most powerful of Oberon's childen, I doubt that would banish them, at least for long. Zatanna's probably going to really have to use some of her best magic to win here. Maybe she can even conjure up some iron chains to bind the Sisters with.
