The Wonderland Gang

[A/N: I just wanna thank everyone for the comments, power stones, and reviews I received. Not gonna lie I was kinda surprised.]

As we turned to leave the jewelry store, the front doors burst open as a motley crew sauntered in - Two morbidly obese men, one dressed in stripes with a propeller hat. Along with them was a woman with bunny ears, a buff guy who looked similar to a lion brandishing metal claws, a man in a horned helmet, A man who wore a mask that was shaped similar to a walrus, and a lithe woman in a carpentry tool belt. Gotham really is home to some colorful characters. 

The jeweler's eyes went wide with fear. "Oh no, not them again!"

"Who are they?" I asked the jeweler.

"They're The Wonderland Gang ." He spoke clearly frightened by the appearance of the odd group of people.

"Alright pops, time for your monthly protection payment!" One of the portly men bellowed.

Don't criminals usually operate at night? Or maybe they're doing it in the day because of Batman? Anyway, I watch the terrified jeweler quickly emptied the cash register into a sack held by the woman in the scantly clad bunny girl outfit. 

After that was done they turned toward the rest of the customers.

The buff lion-esque man let out a roar as he brandished his metal claws menacingly at the other customers.

"Alright folks, empty your pockets into the sack! Don't try anything funny neither, my claws here are itchin' for some action," he snarled.

The customers quickly began complying, not wanting to test the brute.

"The only threat looks to be the lion guy," Scáthach whispered.

I nodded almost imperceptibly. "Let me handle them, I don't want to expose your identity. Luckily I was still wearing my face mask when I came in here."

"Now that you mention it I have been wondering why do you wear that mask?" 

"It's cause I'm just too handsome." I deadpanned, causing her to give me a blank look.

"Haha ok, not the time, I wear it partly to hide my identity and partly due to force of habit from my old world."

"I see" she responded with a nod of her head. 

"Hey, you two quit whispering over there!" The lion man said as he stomped toward us, I called out "Hey now, let's not do anything hasty here."

He didn't say anything and rounded on me, claws flashing as he swiped at my midsection. I nimbly dodged the attack, landing a strike on his wrist that caused him to clutch it in pain. 

"I guess business at the circus isn't doing too well," I said with a smirk. Causing him to roar in rage hurling himself at me in an attempt to body-check me but I just sidestepped, sending him stumbling past. I then moved behind him and delivered a quick chop to the back of his neck, knocking him out cold. 

Seeing their heavy hitter downed so quickly, the other Wonderland gang members hesitated briefly. I capitalized on that opening, moving in a blur of speed to engage the criminals.

The fat man in stripes and propeller hat tried to smash a nearby jewelry case over my head, but I caught his arm and delivered a swift palm strike to his chest, knocking the wind out of him.

As he gasped for air, I spun and swept his legs out from under him, sending the portly criminal crashing to the ground.

The walrus-masked man came at me next, trying to attack me with his tusks? I dodged his attacks then landed a chop to the back of his neck, instantly rendering him unconscious.

The man in the horned helmet charged at me with his helmet in an attempt to stab me but I avoided it and grabbed his arm, twisted, and flipped him hard onto his back in a textbook judo throw. The impact knocking him out cold.

Seeing her teammates dropping left and right, the bunny girl turned to run but I upped my speed suddenly appearing behind her, landing a perfectly aimed strike between her shoulder and neck. She collapsed to the ground, unconscious but alive.

That left only the carpenter woman still standing. She had pulled out a hammer and chisel from her tool belt and threw them at me with surprising accuracy. I managed to dodge both the chisel and the hammer. I then quickly closed the distance between us and dispatched her with a leg sweep followed by a chop to the back of the head, putting her down for the count.

Within moments, the entire Wonderland Gang lay groaning or unconscious on the floor. I scooped up the sack of stolen goods and returned it.

"Thank you!" he said gratefully.

"No problem," I said waving my hand dismissively. "We'll be on our way now," I said, before briskly making our exit with Scáthach just as police sirens began wailing in the distance. 

Now it was time to find a discreet place to summon an Assassin.

...

Soon we arrived back at the abandoned mall I moved to the same area where I summoned Sathach who was now leaning against a wall her arms crossed watching with an impassive face. Turning my attention away from her I closed my eyes and began concentrating, gathering my mana and focusing my will. I had just enough magical energy stored to attempt one summoning. I took out the catalyst that I received when I first arrived the shuriken given to me by that old man as well as my Noble Phantasm which I decided to call the Book of Legends. As I once again fell into a trance-like state I began to chant. A magical circle appeared on the ground as I spoke the words to call forth the spirit of an Assassin Servant.

"Shinobi of the darkness, master of stealth and subterfuge,

Your blades strike true from the veil of shadow.

Heed my call and obey my summons,

Return once more to walk the mortal realm.

With speed and cunning, you grasped victory against countless foes,

Now come to my side to face evils anew.

Though betrayal cut short your human life, immortality awaits,

If you answer this summons and stand with me.

Make your presence known with daggers dancing,

And pledge your skill to this task before us.

By the power bestowed upon me, I call out to you!"

The air grew heavy with power as my chant neared completion.

"Appear now as my ally - Assassin"
