303. Dark Quartz League of Anarchy Part II ~Assassi...

Nick and Monroe wake up while chained inside of a freezer. Both have Stand Destabilizers around their necks.

Monroe woges into his Blutbad form to feel warmer. "Nick..." he shivered. "What happened? Weren't we supposed to meet Gabrielle and F.F. before leaving the theatres?"

Nick shivers. "I... Don't know... Where... are we...?"

Beside them is...

Bruce Wayne...

A knocked-out Bruce Wayne stayed beside Nick. He is naked except for his underwear and a watch on his wrist.

He slowly opens his eyes.

"Smells like piss!" yelled Monroe.

"Fumes of ammonia woke us up. They want us to be awake," said Bruce.

*creak!!!*

The freezer's door opens.

Nick and Monroe meet a man with long dark green hair and clown make-up. He has a pale white face with a bloody smile on his mouth and black mascara around his eyes...

The Joker.

"Who... is this... clown... supposed... to be?" asked Nick.

"Joker," said Bruce.

"Hello, Bruce Wayne!" laughed The Joker. "Or should I say... Batman."

"You're the Batman!?" asked Nick, turning to Bruce. "How do we... not know this?"

"On our Earth, certain Superheroes' names aren't really revealed..." said Monroe. "Same with this Earth. So we don't know who Batman is."

"That's kinda... stupid..." Nick panted and shivered.

Bruce sighs. "What do you want, Joker?"

The Joker sneers.

"Have you ever danced with the Devil on the pale moonlight?" he sneered.

The trio stayed silent. Bruce is angry, but Nick and Monroe are simply confused.

"Have you ever heard of... anarchy?" asked The Joker. "Chaos... suh! That is what they call it... 'Chaos...' Strange name for something so beautiful."

"What the hell are you talking... about?" asked Nick.

"I'm saying that the world is enslaved by these people at the very top. The Verrat. The Black Claw, even. The New World Order. Bernardo Salvi. Dio Brando. Enrico Pucci. Adolf Hitler. Doughnut Trumpet. Miguel JoJo. Thomas Wayne."

Bruce's nose twitches as he frowns for a split second.

Nick observes this and listened intently.

The Joker shows his teeth, smiling, revealing blood-red teeth. "These people think they deserve this fate. Gods amongst men. Men... Grimms... Blutbaden... all of you are the same... Man cannot kill God... So the Demons will..." The Joker licks his lips repeatedly. "But you..." The Joker leans to Bruce. "A fellow freak... Kuh." He licks his lips and stares at Bruce psychotically. "Born of the same blood... We're both... created by the death of our father. You'll live.You two, however... You're going to die."

The Joker pokes Monroe's face. He tries to bite Joker's finger off, and The Joker comically jumps away out of surprise.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" laughed The Joker. 

"You wanna go?" asked Monroe.

"Why so serious!? Suh!" asked The Joker. "I'm just here to do the job..." He shook his head and pointed to himself as he licks his lips. 

"What are you going to do?" asked Monroe. 

"Kill you," said The Joker.

"Why is he here?" asked Nick.

"Oh. Him? Completely different random thing. You know, right? Batman and Joker: Rivals Forever?"

"You're sabotaging this by adding me in."

The Joker covers his mouth and giggles. He then bursts out of laughter. "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!Ah...You should know that you're good, Bruce."

"You did WHAT!?" asked a woman's synthesized voice...

A woman wearing a white armored suit, black-armored pants, and a black metallic helmet with a red handprint on it.

"Why the hell did you kidnap The Batman!?" asked Flag-Smasher.

"Because it wouldn't really be fun without him," shrugged the Joker. The Joker takes out some gum. "Glee Gum Bubblegum? It's cheap fresh!" he advertised.

Flag-Smasher sighs and grabs Nick by the throat. "Let's get this over with..." She takes out a pistol from her holster and points it at Nick's face.

*BANG!!!*

Bruce... who somehow untied himself out of the ropes, had taken the pistol from her hand. He then disassembles it and drops the pistol's pieces.

Bruce puts up his hands.

"You have no chance against both of us," said Flag-Smasher.

Nick somehow untied himself as well. "I'm here, too."

Monroe looks at both of them. "What about me!?" asked Monroe.

"Stay down," said Nick.

Nick and Bruce hold up their fists.

Nick blasts a punch toward Flag-Smasher but she blocks it. Nick and Flag-Smasher exchange blows. He manages to punch her in the stomach, but she grabs Nick and slams him to the wall.

Nick's face begins to go pale and his eyes turn black.

He begins to push her away from himself with every blow.

Flag-Smasher blocks all the attacks, however.

Nick then blasts a flurry of punches at her, which she all blocks successfully.

She then jumps and wraps her legs around his neck then pins him down.

Meanwhile, The Batman and The Joker exchange fists.

The Joker takes off his suit revealing a muscular pale-white body.

He then exchanged fists with Bruce.

The Joker takes out a dagger and hammers it toward Bruce's shoulder, but he blocks it and takes it, then tries to stab the Joker in the leg. The Joker grabs it, takes it, spins, and stabs Bruce in the right torso.

Bruce then headbutts The Joker, who tumbles backward as he pulls the dagger away.

Bruce tosses the dagger toward the Joker's shoulder. The Joker dodges as the dagger gets stuck on the metal wall.

The Joker growls and punches Bruce in the face over and over again.

He snarls and blasts a hook toward Bruce's face, but Bruce blocks it and headbutts The Joker.

"Ever since I've fallen into that vat of acid... We really did stop connecting, huh?" sneered The Joker.

The Batman slams his fist into The Joker's face, angrily.

"You killed Rachel!" yelled Bruce.

"That was 28 years ago!" yelled The Joker.

Bruce grabs The Joker by the neck and slams him on the wall.

Nick struggles to fight against Flag-Smasher, with Supersoldiers being stronger than Grimms.

Suddenly, Flag-Smasher begins to overpower Nick as she blasts a flurry of punches at him.

Nick, bloody and bruised, back away, but still holds up his fists.

"I could do this all day," sneered Flag-Smasher.

*CRACK!!!*

*zip... zap... bzzz...*

The Stand-Destabilizer around his neck... breaks.

Nick smirks. "You're done..."

Nick's eyes turn black and his skin goes pale.

Weather Report appears and punches her so hard that a hole through the wall is punched through by the sheer speed of her impact.

The Joker laughs and wheezes as he passes out and drops to the ground.

"Are you bleeding!?" asked Nick.

"I'll be fine," said Bruce, as he turns to Monroe and unties him. "We have to get the hell out of here.This is one of the Dark Quartz Headquarters.There should be a portal nearby."

"You know about the Dark Quartz?" asked Nick.

"Yeah. I've been personally tasked by Rick to spy on these guys. They apparently want to bring anarchy to every single Universe," said Bruce.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" A grunting cackle could be heard echoing in the halls.

*step... step... step...*

"Oh! Hello!" said a rugged-looking man. "Please! I picked a lock of a cell in here and got the heck outta there!" he whimpered.

Monroe tries to walk toward him.

Bruce stops Monroe.

"How did you know that we're prisoners, too?" asked Bruce.

The man's smile disappears into a creepy stare. "Godspeed, Batman."

Bruce's eyes widen. "GET DOWN!!!"

The three of them get down as the glider nearly stabs them.

Green Goblin leaps upward and lands on his glider on all fours.

Nanotech slowly covers him up as he summons his green armor.

"NGAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" cackled Green Goblin.

He zooms toward the trio as Monroe woges into a Blutbad and leaps toward Green Goblin.

"MONROE, DON'T!!!" yelled Nick.

He lands on the glider as he tries to claw Green Goblin.

The Goblin is unfazed.

"IMPRESSIVE!!!"

Green Goblin punches Monroe in the face, which turns his fangs bloody.

The other pair chase after Goblin and Monroe.

He halts as Monroe crashes into the wall.

He prepares the blade on his glider.

"Bye, bye, Wolfie..." cackled Green Goblin.

"STOP!!!"

Suddenly, Green Goblin stops to a halt.

"Why'd he stop?" asked Bruce.

Suddenly, a red Stand with a clock for eyes, a mouth, a nose, pointed ears, and a muscular body emerged behind Monroe. It has claws on its fingers and its feet.

Green Goblin cannot move.

Monroe sighs in relief and leaves the spot, as Green Goblin begins to move faster.

Monroe goes back 15 meters into the spot.

"I'll be here," said Monroe. "The two of you should go and get the portal gun!"

"Keep Monroe safe," said Bruce. "I'll go find a portal gun."

Nick nods as Bruce runs into the next few halls.

"HEY, YOU!!! GET DOWN!!!" 

Bruce runs on the walls and grabs his machine gun then disassembles it. He blasts punches into the man's face over and over.

Another man with a handgun shoots Bruce in the shoulder as Bruce grabs the gun and disassembles it as well. He dropkicks the man, knocking him out.

*RATATATATA- !!!*

Five men appear.

Bruce charges and dodges the bullets as he takes the baton of one of the men and tosses it into each of their faces, knocking all five out as the baton bounces off each of the walls.

Bruce roars loud as he charges toward several more men who held daggers...

Nick slowly approached Monroe, who is frozen in place.

"He's moving... isn't he?" asked Nick.

"Slowly," said Monroe. "Very... very... slowly!"

"Why?" asked Nick.

"I think..." gulped Monroe. "My Stand... slows objects down."

Monroe tries hard to focus all his energy on the Green Goblin.

Suddenly, The Joker steps out of the freezer. He sneers as he turns to Nick, then Monroe.

He takes out a knife.

"HEY!!! STAY AWAY FROM HIM!!!" yelled Nick.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" cackled the Joker, charging toward Monroe with a dagger in his hand.

Nick charges toward Joker. Nick runs faster than Joker. In fact, Nick's speed was comparable to a running car.

Nick tackles The Joker and both roll on the ground.

The Joker sneers and snarls as he takes out his dagger.

Nick blasts his punches at The Joker, but The Joker successfully dodges his punches and kicks.

The Joker slices the knife as Nick dodges by bending backward. He lands on his back and he pounces back on his legs.

"You're at peak human condition," said Nick.

"And what? You're at peak Grimm Condition?" The Joker laughs and growls.

Nick punches The Joker in the face as a splatter of blood rains all over Nick's face.

Nick punches The Joker over and over.

*GAG!!!*

Suddenly, Flag-Smasher strangles Nick from behind.

"MMPH!!!"

"NICK!!!" yelled Monroe, who is 17 meters away from them.

He turns to see that Green Goblin is slowly turning around.

Nick's nose bleeds as The Joker laughs at him. The Joker takes out his dagger and prepares to stab Nick.

*STAB!!!*

*SPLAT!!!*

"Oh, dear!" sneered The Joker. "That's new!"

"What!?" asked Flag-Smasher.

"He's not bleeding..." The Joker looks at Nick and sees that Nick is pale, has black eyes, and is not moving.

He grabs Flag-Smasher's hands and punches her.

Flag-Smasher tries to punch him, but Nick blocks every punch and finally gives her a hook, as her head slams into the metallic wall and she is knocked out.

Nick continues to punch her over and over again while the Joker just keeps on laughing.

*CRACK!!! CRACK!!! CRACK!!!CRACK!!!*

Nick slowly turns around the Joker.

"What?" asked The Joker. "Me!? Oh, come on! This isn't fair! No one ever told me that Grimms can turn into zombies!"

Nick charges toward The Joker as The Joker tries to stab Nick in the face, but Zombie Nick blocks it as The Joker drops the knife and catches it with his other hand. He then tries to stab Nick in the stomach but Nick grabs it and headbutts The Joker without closing his own eyes, over and over.

The Joker then cackles and stabs Nick in the stomach over and over, laughing.

After six times, Nick, though bleeding, blocks the knife with ease and throws it away.

He then punches The Joker over and over again, beating his face.

*CRACK!!! CRACK!!! CRACK!!!*

Nick tries to punch him one last time.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?"

Bruce grabs Nick's hand and Nick punches Bruce, who ducks and kicks Nick away.

"What the hell? Is he a-?"

"He kinda has Post Traumatic Zombification Disorder," said Monroe.

Bruce gives him a confused look.

"It's a thing!" yelled Monroe.

Bruce tosses the portal gun in his hand to Monroe.

He holds up his fists.

"I don't wanna do this, Nick," said Bruce.

Nick stays silent.

"Nick..." said Bruce. "You don't want me to do this."

Bruce puts up his watch and presses a button on it.

"MONROE COVER YOUR EARS!!!" yelled Bruce.

"What-?"

Nick charges.

*RING!!!*

A loud high-pitched ringing sound occurs.

Monroe woges and howls because of this.

Nick screams in pain as he hears the sound as louder in his ears.

Bruce, however, hears nothing.

He turns off the watch and Nick drops to the ground, unconscious.

Bruce sighs in relief. "Monroe?"

Monroe woges back and pants.

Bruce opens a portal and drops Nick in.

Bruce opens a portal behind Monroe as he charges toward Monroe. Monroe Wahrewoges out of fear and both of them enter the portal.

The portal closes.

"OH, SHIT!!!"

*CRASH!!!*

Green Goblin crashes into the wall.

Nick's pale skin becomes normal. The trio pant after they fell in the JoJo Residence.

"Bruce? Nick? Monroe!?" asked a bruised and beaten Gabrielle.

"Assassins got to you, too?" asked Bruce.

"Yeah," sighed Gabrielle.

Foo Fighters is limp on the table with her head down, fast asleep.

Bruce sighs. "They captured me, too, because I found something that you guys might think is important."

Bruce takes out a piece of paper from the pocket of his shorts and places it on the table.

It's the second page...
