The Virginia<\/em> was tasked with taking the Joker back to his home universe to spend some time in Arkham. He didn\u2019t offer resistance on the way, just sat in his cell in the Virginia<\/em>\u2019s brig. The ship then arrived in Gotham and landed by a dockside hangar. Commissioner Gordon was there with the Gotham City Police and, surprisingly, Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy. Batman, Arsha, the Joker, Megumi, Bashoon and her parents then left via the stairs extending from the ship\u2019s port side. The Joker had a slight smile when seeing Harley in the crowd. When they got closer, Batman spoke to Commissioner Gordon to explain what happened. Harley and Poison Ivy then approached the Joker. \u201cSo, how are things for my favorite girl?\u201d he asked, attempting his usual grin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou know,\u201d remarked Harley to Poison Ivy, \u201cit only pains me just a smidge to tell my Ex what happened lately.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWait, Ex?!\u201d protested the Joker. \u201cWhat\u2019s the idea?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe idea is,\u201d explained Harley, \u201cand this is no joke, I\u2019ve decided it ain\u2019t worth it to pine over someone like you. In simpler terms, I\u2019m breaking up with you!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWHAT?!\u201d wailed the Joker. \u201cBUT WHY?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWell, if you want the insane answer first,\u201d replied Harley, \u201cyou haven\u2019t called me in five years!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI HAVE BEEN WITH SHOCKER RIFT!\u201d roared the Joker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh, and you didn\u2019t think to use their technology to contact me?!\u201d argued Harley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDo NOT do this right now!\u201d snarled the Joker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNow that the insane answer\u2019s out of the way,\u201d continued Harley as she put on glasses and pulled her headdress off to reveal blonde hair in a bun. Her demeanor changed to that of a normal angry woman and her voice matched. \u201cYou led me down a rabbit hole that cost me my job, my family, my life, EVERYTHING!\u201d she hissed. \u201cLately, I\u2019ve developed split personality between the looney you made and the woman the looney once was, Harley Quinn and Harleen Quinzel, respectively. Thankfully, Pamela here,\u201d she gestured to Poison Ivy, \u201cgot me some help and now I have my doctorate\u2019s degree again, I fight crime instead of causing it, and I\u2019m happily married to Pam.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBUT SHE\u2019S BARELY HUMAN!\u201d protested the Joker. Harleen took off her glasses and let Harley come to the surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cShe\u2019s more human than you, Joker,\u201d she hissed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOH, YOU DIRTY…!\u201d the Joker didn\u2019t get far in his slur towards Harley as Megumi placed her hand on his neck. \u201c…What the hell are you doing?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cVulcan nerve pinch,\u201d replied Megumi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNot there,\u201d answered Batman. \u201cYou do it where the shoulder meets the neck, like so.\u201d He demonstrated on the Joker and the Clown Prince of Crime collapsed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cArkham is sending a truck to pick the Joker up tomorrow,\u201d reported Commissioner Gordon. \u201cWe need to be ready.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019ll be taking turns watching the clown while the rest of us sleep,\u201d directed Batman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019ll take first watch,\u201d offered Megumi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

The night went on as Megumi handed off the watch to Batman, then he turned it over to Mrs. Barmek. He had just shut his eyes for 20 minutes before he heard a noise. \u201cBWAAAK! BWAAAK! BWAAAK! BWAAAK!\u201d Everyone woke up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat was that?\u201d asked Commissioner Gordon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWho\u2019s bwaking?\u201d inquired Mr. Barmek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhere\u2019s Ma?!\u201d yelped Bashoon. That answered Mr. Barmek\u2019s question as everyone dashed to Mrs. Barmek\u2019s position. It was just her screaming \u201cBWAAAK!\u201d over and over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Joker! Where is he?!\u201d demanded Batman, stopping Mrs. Barmek\u2019s \u201cbwaking\u201d as her husband put it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know!\u201d replied Mrs. Barmek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat do you mean you don\u2019t know?!\u201d wailed Commissioner Gordon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou were guarding him!\u201d snarled Megumi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe must have slipped away while I was asleep!\u201d guessed Mrs. Barmek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAsleep?!\u201d snapped Mr. Barmek. \u201cWho said you could fall asleep?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMa, come on!\u201d cried Bashoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI couldn\u2019t help it!\u201d snarled Mrs. Barmek, annoyed that her husband and daughter were getting on her case. \u201cI was tired! I couldn\u2019t get any rest on the ship!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe ship!\u201d repeated Megumi and Bashoon as they got an idea. They both took off towards the Virginia<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf the Joker gets away, we\u2019re finished!\u201d warned Commissioner Gordon. \u201cCome on!\u201d Everyone took off in pursuit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

\u201cWHAT IS WRONG WITH THE WORLD?!\u201d protested the Joker as he fiddled with the Virginia<\/em>\u2019s controls as best he could while still handcuffed. \u201cAfter all the trouble I go through, you would think I\u2019d get something that works!\u201d This routine of grumbling and fiddling lasted a good 10 minutes before he heard the bridge\u2019s door open.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGoing someplace?\u201d panted Megumi\u2019s voice. The Joker looked up to see her and Bashoon catching their breath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cApparently not,\u201d he muttered. \u201cI couldn\u2019t get the impulse engines online.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat\u2019s because I disabled the induction matrix before we got you out of the brig,\u201d gasped Megumi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThen why did you chase me?\u201d asked the Joker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBecause my major is in history, not engineering,\u201d replied Megumi. \u201cCome on, let\u2019s go.\u201d The Joker made his way to the two women and they all walked into the hallway as everyone else arrived.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s all right,\u201d assured Bashoon. \u201cNo harm done.\u201d Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThank goodness,\u201d bid Arsha. \u201cI almost forgot my chess game in the craziness.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh yeah?\u201d asked Megumi. \u201cWhich side are you?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBlack, you?\u201d quizzed Arsha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSame,\u201d revealed Megumi. \u201cRight now, I\u2019ve got a Knight at Queen\u2019s Bishop 4 after 13 moves.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c…You too?\u201d asked Arsha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c…What do you mean me too?\u201d pondered Megumi. They were on the ship\u2019s stairs at that point in time. As they came down, the Joker started snickering. \u201cJoker?\u201d asked Megumi. The Joker\u2019s snickering then grew louder, and louder, and louder still until he was fully laughing. Batman then noticed a device on the Joker\u2019s neck and the residue of a telltale green liquid!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHE\u2019S BEEN POISONED!\u201d he warned. Everyone had a good idea as to what the poison was, liquid Smylex! The Joker then stopped laughing, his legs gave way, and he fell down the stairs, the rictus grin still wide on his face. Batman checked for his pulse, then growled when he couldn\u2019t find it. That growl confirmed the suspicion on everyone\u2019s mind; the Joker was dead, killed by his own concoction. As the reality of the situation sunk in, a song from the opera, Pagliacci<\/em>, played.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRecitar! Mentre preso dal delirio, (Act! While in delirium,)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

non so pi\u00f9 quel che dico, (I no longer know what I say,)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

e quel che faccio! (or what I do!)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eppur \u00e8 d’uopo, sforzati! (And yet it’s necessary… make an effort!)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bah! Sei tu forse un uom? (Bah! Are you even a man?)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tu se’ Pagliaccio! (You are a clown!)\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd such a clown he was,\u201d mused a voice that gave many a good guess as to who administered the Smylex. Hiro stepped forward as he cut the music. \u201cA pity, really,\u201d he mused. \u201cAh well, at least he still died laughing. I\u2019d laugh too if it weren\u2019t so tragic on how he let himself get captured. …Ah, what the hell? I\u2019ll laugh anyway!\u201d Hiro\u2019s laugh filled Megumi with rage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat was unnecessary!\u201d she snarled. \u201cWe needed him alive!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd I needed that failure dead!\u201d dismissed Hiro. \u201cBesides, I did the people of Gotham a favor. Their greatest threat, your greatest enemy,\u201d he pointed to Batman, \u201cis no more. Gotham is that much safer!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cKilling is an escape!\u201d shouted Batman as he charged. A rift then opened behind Hiro and he slipped away! Batman landed on the ground as the rift closed. A tablet then appeared from a smaller rift and played an audio message from Hiro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf this message is being played,\u201d it began, \u201cthen it means Megumi has no intention of staying out of my way. I must admit, I\u2019m a little disappointed at that, but not surprised. So, I reiterate, stay out of my way. Caan is mine. I know you\u2019re a little preoccupied with the 3V2R, so focus on that while I destroy Caan.\u201d The tablet then exploded, leaving the group with a feeling of being robbed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Megumi, Arsha, and Optimus had everyone reconvene on Vorton to discuss what had happened. The meeting lasted a good hour before Rusty got a signal. \u201cIt\u2019s one of the contestants,\u201d she reported. \u201cShe\u2019s trying to reach Megumi.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPatch it to my room,\u201d directed Megumi as she departed. She arrived at her room and saw the caller. \u201cAh, Beatrice, I presume,\u201d she greeted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe same,\u201d replied the caller, Beatrice the Golden and Endless Witch. \u201cI must say, I doubt I\u2019d be as brave as you to take down Vortech on my own.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t exactly do it on my own,\u201d corrected Megumi. \u201cI had friends.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWell, I\u2019m afraid your friends cannot interfere in our bout,\u201d chuckled Beatrice. \u201cThe Chizarans just announced it. We\u2019re the first bout of Round 2.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh?\u201d asked Megumi. \u201cTell me, what do YOU intend to do with First Place Prize?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWith the Master Wand,\u201d replied Beatrice, \u201cI shall become more powerful than even Bernkastel and Lambdadelta and keep the game between me and Battler!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou clearly like games,\u201d mused Megumi. \u201cTell me, how good are you at finding something?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFairly decent,\u201d answered Beatrice. \u201cYou\u2019re challenging me to find an object somewhere?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am!\u201d replied Megumi. \u201cIf you can find my old crown in an hour without magic, you\u2019ll win.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cVery well,\u201d declared Beatrice. \u201cOur battlefield?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou pick,\u201d offered Megumi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHow about somewhere on your college?\u201d mused Beatrice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPerfect,\u201d confirmed Megumi. \u201cI know of an old building that\u2019s used for all sorts of storage. Messy enough to hide my crown.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cExcellent,\u201d praised Beatrice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe challenge has been set, the terms have been agreed upon, and the chance of victory is agreeable for both sides,\u201d declared Azuliterii\u2019s voice. \u201cAzevordem, the blue-green princess of Chizara and the water leader, will be judging. Tomorrow morning, your fight begins! Prepare and make ready! Good luck!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMay the best woman win!\u201d wished Beatrice. She then remembered something. \u201cAre you aware of Vortech having followers?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMr. Flufferkins told me to watch out for them, yes,\u201d replied Megumi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOne of his followers is Furudo Erika,\u201d warned Beatrice. \u201cShe\u2019s learned more about multiversal travel and was loyal to him. She WILL seek revenge.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThanks for the tip,\u201d bid Megumi. \u201cSee you tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Optimus was waiting by the airlock for the Ark<\/em>, waiting for his opponent to arrive. He soon saw who it was. It was an anthropomorphic ferret woman in a black dress that hugged her curves and carried a red feather boa with a red rose in her hair. \u201cMs. Furella, yes?\u201d quizzed Optimus. The ferret woman gave a judgmental scoff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou\u2019re my opponent?\u201d she remarked dismissively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cName\u2019s Optimus Prime,\u201d introduced the Autobot. \u201cI would have figured you would know that already, given that you have my dossier.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI don\u2019t really like someone like you,\u201d she answered. \u201cYou don\u2019t know how the world works.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTry me,\u201d challenged Optimus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou people don\u2019t leave the rest of us alone,\u201d Ms. Furella explained. \u201cYou\u2019re ignorant of how power works, thinking it\u2019s your duty to help those worse off than you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWell, it IS my duty,\u201d mused Optimus, \u201cand my privilege.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSee?\u201d groaned Ms. Furella. \u201cYou think there\u2019s joy in helping others without considering how YOU can benefit.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYes, your dossier mentioned your worldview,\u201d remarked Optimus. \u201cIt didn\u2019t exactly serve you well this past year.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt looks like you DID read my dossier,\u201d chuckled Ms. Furella. \u201cSo, why the subterfuge?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt was for your benefit,\u201d snarked Optimus before he recited the dossier. \u201cInternational Prostitute and Spy; Ms. Furella. Well known for the various assassinations of all the World Leaders after the Great Rising for animal life. She intends to control Earth for her benefit, but her sister has thwarted her recent attempts to\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat wand will ensure I won\u2019t be questioned!\u201d interrupted Ms. Furella. \u201cI will have the whole world as my harem! The humans will finally learn their place! You, machine, will be scrapped once I claim my prize!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cName your contest, then,\u201d declared Optimus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI know how to find you,\u201d remarked Ms. Furella. \u201cYou hide in vehicle mode; I will find you within 30 minutes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur battlefield?\u201d asked Optimus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI won\u2019t give you home turf advantage!\u201d answered Ms. Furella. \u201cWe\u2019ll use my home city of Washington DC.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFine by me,\u201d replied Optimus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe challenge has been set, the terms have been agreed upon, and the chance of victory is agreeable for both sides,\u201d declared Rojenthi\u2019s voice. \u201cNaratelto, the orange princess of Chizara and the fertility leader, will be judging. Tomorrow afternoon, your fight begins! Prepare and make ready! Good luck!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFarewell, junkheap!\u201d laughed Ms. Furella. She vanished in red light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCatch you later,\u201d muttered Optimus grimly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Arsha was in her ready room, awaiting her opponent\u2019s call. As she waited, she hummed the Mid-realm\u2019s anthem. \u201cThat sounds pretty,\u201d praised a voice. Arsha yelped in surprise and whirled around to see Ultragingana in human form. \u201cI apologize,\u201d she bid. \u201cSneaking up on you was rude. I\u2019m Ultragingana.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m Arsha,\u201d returned Arsha once she found her voice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou run a rather tight ship, according to your dossier,\u201d recalled Ultragingana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe let our hair down from time to time,\u201d replied Arsha. \u201cI heard you have your own ship.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYep, the Osaka<\/em>,\u201d confirmed Ultragingana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHow well are you at war games?\u201d asked Arsha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI like to consider myself competent with war games,\u201d answered Ultragingana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThen how about we put our command skills to the test?\u201d offered Arsha. \u201cWe\u2019ll hold a war game and see who could win against who in a fight. No actual weapons fire, both of us must acknowledge a hit on our vessels, and no other ships may assist. This is strictly between the Endeavor <\/em>and the Osaka<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd our battlefield?\u201d asked Ultragingana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOptimus has graciously granted his airspace as our battlefield,\u201d replied Arsha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIsn\u2019t he fighting a war?\u201d recalled Ultragingana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe is, but his troops will monitor the fight as well as our judge,\u201d assured Arsha. \u201cIf their enemies try to interfere, our judge can keep them at bay.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThen let\u2019s do this!\u201d declared Ultragingana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe challenge has been set, the terms have been agreed upon, and the chance of victory is agreeable for both sides,\u201d declared Rosadera\u2019s voice. \u201cGriforina, the cool-grey princess of Chizara and the air leader, will be judging. Tomorrow afternoon, your fight begins! Prepare and make ready! Good luck!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSee you soon!\u201d bid Ultragingana. \u201cMay the best commander win!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLet us both give it our all!\u201d agreed Arsha. Ultragingana then vanished in pink light. When she left, the door chimed. \u201cCome in,\u201d bid Arsha. Megumi and Optimus\u2019 holo-form then came in. \u201cMegumi! Prime!\u201d greeted Arsha. \u201cWhat can I do for you?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI need you to help me out here,\u201d requested Optimus. \u201cWhat moves did you make in your chess game so far?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy game?\u201d asked Arsha. \u201cLet\u2019s see, Pawn to Queen 3, Pawn to King\u2019s Rook 3, Pawn to King\u2019s Knight 4\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPawn to King 3, Pawn to Queen\u2019s Bishop 3, Knight to King\u2019s Bishop 3, Pawn to Queen 4,\u201d continued Megumi, spooking Arsha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cKing\u2019s Knight to Queen 2, Queen to King\u2019s Bishop 3, Bishop to Queen\u2019s Knight 5, Bishop to King 2,\u201d Optimus went on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRook to Queen\u2019s Rook 2, Pawn takes Pawn at Queen\u2019s Bishop 5, Knight to Queen\u2019s Bishop 4,\u201d all three had finished together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd the color of the pieces that made those moves on three,\u201d declared Megumi. \u201cOne, two, three!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBlack,\u201d all three said together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHow is that possible?\u201d asked Arsha. \u201cWe\u2019re playing the same game, making the same moves, and on the same side!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
