359. Dark Quartz League of Anarchy Part III ~+Agent...

"So... in every Universe you've existed, you end up fighting your bastard half-brother?" asked Peter.

Suddenly, Bruce and Peter's eyes widen.

They run to the interrogation room and see that it's empty.

"WHAT THE F-!?"

Bruce and Peter swing around the city, searching for The Joker.

"How the hell were they able to escape us so easily!?" asked Peter. "How!?"

"I don't know!" yelled Bruce. "But we better search for him quick."

Peter's goggles dilate.

"Could The Batman come out and play!? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA-!!!"

*vroom!*

Peter grabs Bruce as several spinning bladed pumpkin bombs miss Bruce and blow up mid-air.

Green Goblin on his Goblin Glider chase after the pair.

Bruce summons his Iron Knight Armor and flies around the city, chasing after Green Goblin.

Bruce tosses Shattered Stars at Goblin, who dodges all of them.

"WRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!"

Bruce turns in horror to see Salvi as he leaps into his face and tears parts of his armor. His armor, of course, enters regeneration protocol. Bruce struggles to kick Salvi away, but Salvi woges into an Aswang and punches Bruce over and over again. Though, Salvi only barely injures Bruce.

Peter then swings and lands on Salvi as he thwips the web all over his body. Salvi roars as he tries to break free, but Peter keeps him webbed on some scaffolding.

*BZZT!!!*

Peter flips backward as he dodges Salvi's Heat Vision.

THE WORLD then tries to kill Peter with a MUDA, but Peter senses it and flips backward.

Bruce, meanwhile, struggles to punch Goblin away who kept on cackling.

Bruce then kicks Goblin away and flies into a building, which he crashes into. Some overtime workers shriek and run away upon seeing him.

Suddenly, a pumpkin bomb is thrown toward them, which Bruce uses his armor to shield them.

*BOOM!!!*

Bruce is thrown into the wall.

All he hears is ringing as he slowly stands up.

"HEHEHEHEHEHEHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" Bruce's eyes widen.

He turns around to see a horrifying second Green Goblin Armor. But unlike Goblin's, the armor is differently-colored. While Goblin's Green Goblin Armor Mk. 2 is green with a purple top-head like a "cap", with a purple one-piece shirt and underwear with purple boots and purple gloves, The Laughing Machine Armor has a white face, purple body, a green stripe at the center, purple pants, and black shoes. Its white face also has red lipstick (or blood) smothered all over its creepy smile like a creepy smile. Its goggles are red and are surrounded by black paint. Its top-head is green as well.

The Joker then takes out a retractable blade.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" cackled The Joker. "Let's put a smile on that face-suh!"

 Bruce creates a shield and blocks The Joker's blade.

"Fuck..."

The Joker goes dual-wielding, taking out his second blade on his other hand and exchanging blows with Bruce. The blades then heat up, beginning to melt his armor and crack Bruce's armor open as it desperately regenerates.

Meanwhile, Peter swings around the buildings as The Green Goblin then hits him with his Glider.

"Osborn..." said Peter.

"How's May, you putrid lapdog!?"

Peter growls and punches Osborn's leg over and over again as Goblin cackles.

He then tries to take out the pumpkin bombs from its bomb barrel, but the Glider immediately takes out machine guns that shoot Peter over and over. Peter summons the Iron Spider armor as Goblin crashes Peter and himself into a building.

Peter desperately tries to stand up. "Goblin... How are you back... in the first place...?"

"Oh... Peter..." he sneers. "Don't you know...? Osborn could never escape me... Neither could you..."

Peter tries to punch Goblin, but Goblin grabs his head and dropkicks him into the next wall of the building.

"Call it cheap writing but BOY DOES IT PAY!!!" Goblin grabs Peter and headbutts him as he crashes into the next building.

Goblin grabs Peter and scrapes his head into the wall as it crashes as Peter yells.

Goblin then snaps some of his ribs in half as Peter is then thrown outside of the building.

Peter thwips a web and swings to the wall outside of the building. He slams on the wall as he grunts. He tries to cling to the wall and stay there. "Fuck... Shit... Fuck..."

Salvi grabs the back of Peter's head as THE WORLD tosses him around. He then throws him to the ground.

"MUDA!!!!"

*CRASH!!!*

Peter stays in a small crater on the ground.

Salvi then lands on him and punches and scratches the Iron Spider armor over and over.

Peter trembles in pain as he grabs both of Salvi's clawed hands. Salvi shrieks but Peter kicks his face over and over again.

"I heard Aswangs ate spiders... Let's try that theory, shall we...?" He gapes his mouth open as Peter struggles to break free of his grip. Salvi grabs his hands tightly.

*PEW!!!*

*SPLAT!!!*

Salvi shrieks.

F.F. appears. "Hey, Spidey! Batsy called!"

"Who the hell is this!?" asked Salvi.

"F.F.!" smiled Foo Fighters. "Now, go to hell! Hihi! *giggles...*"

*PEW!!! PEW PEW!!! PEW!!!*

Several shots of plankton are shot into Salvi's body as his veins explode, being filled with plankton.

*PEW PEW!!! PEW!!!*

Peter drops to the ground and coughs. "Thanks..." Peter takes off the lower half of his mask and spits out blood.

"HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" Peter then thwips to the Glider. He salutes F.F. "See ya, Foo!"

Peter is then dragged as Peter climbs to the Glider.

Meanwhile, Bruce and The Joker battle it out. 

"Smile, Batman! Because it confuses them! All of them!" The Joker punches Bruce over and over again. "Don't you see that Black Diamond offers us freedom!? True freedom!?And look at you! Imprisoned by his vicious BURDENS and self-HATRED!" The Joker kicks Bruce over and over again as Bruce drops to the ground. He then strangles him from behind as Bruce kneels. "Don't you feel it!? The suffocation of reality's laws!? Keeping you at bay like a fucking unused weapon! You're a weapon, Bruce! Corrupt yourself!"

Bruce elbow-strikes The Joker's belly. He turns around and beats him over and over as Joker kept on cackling. "Stop... laughing... And get out... of my head..." Bruce drops backward, injured severely.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! You and I both realized a long time ago that monsters aren't under our bed! They're inside of our heads... Our hearts... Our very souls... But these cowards like Spider-Man are holding you back! Telling you to keep your instincts down like a fucking lapdog! Goblin, however! That ingenious mother... He's by far my second most favorite thing in the world other than you... If only Osborn wasn't there...And there it is...Morality... Choking you... Suffocating you...You thrive in the darkness...I thrive in truth."

"Bill is tricking you, Arthur. He's tricking you. He wants to destroy reality. Not free it."

"In my world, that's what gods do..." sneered The Joker. "Bill isn't tricking me... He's making me Emperor."

"I thought you were against the government."

"Oh... I am... That's why my first decree is its... destructionnnn...-NUH!"

Bruce and The Joker stand up, slowly. Bruce throws a punch at The Joker, who throws a punch as well.

Meanwhile...

Green Goblin strangles Peter while on the Glider. "Don't be any more pathetic than you already are, Peter! DON'T BE!!! Because you have the potential to be a god...So... Break free and KILL US!!!"

Peter kicks Goblin away as they both crash into a building again.

Peter then thwips his face, blinding him. He then marches toward him and beats his face over and over.

Peter then uses his webs to bind him on the floor.

Goblin laughs. "That was a good distraction..."

Peter's eyes widen. "What...?"

"It was The Joker's idea... I had nothing to do with it..." sneered Goblin.

"What... did you do...?" asked Peter, as his mask retracts. "Goblin... What the hell did you do?"

"What have I done... I wonder...? What have I done...? Heheheheheh... What would a coward have done...?"

"WHAT DID YOU DO!?" asked Peter, grabbing him by the neck.

"Let's say this... Imagine yet another controversy, Peter... Because you didn't do anything...Now... We have two people, right? One's your precious wife... and the other has a bus from your beloved city... Which do you choose?"

Peter gulps. "What?"

"Who do you choose to spare to live?"

Peter shakes in anger. He breathes in angrily. "You're lying... She's protected by -..."

"Hellsing Organization... Hotel No. 35. Room 16."

Peter's eyes widen.

"We control... everyone... Peter..." snickered Goblin.

"If you touch her or my daughter, I swear to God..."

"HEHEHEHEHAHAHAHAHA!!!"

Peter shakes in anger. "Don't... do this... please..." he begged Goblin.

"WHO DO YOU CHOOSE!?"

"SAVE MY WIFE!!!" Peter cried.

Goblin laughs. "Murderer-..."

Goblin presses a button. 

*POOF!!!*

Confetti is blasted into Peter's face.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" cackled Goblin. "I won't show your face... But they will know... What you just said... What you just tried... That's you are an attempted murderer... Selfish, selfish, selfish!"

The Glider, which was watching him, flies away.

Peter grabs Goblin's face and prepares to kill him.

Bruce grabs his arm.

"Peter... No..." said Bruce, panting.

F.F. is behind Bruce.

"He... He just..." said Peter, dumbfounded.

"We'll have them arrested..."

"I... Mr. Wayne... Christ..." Peter is about to cry.

"Calm down..."

Peter hugs Bruce. "I let him... No... I let him..."

"The Glider's been captured. It's fine. It won't be released in public."

"But... Bruce... I... I just... allowed... No..." he sobs.

Bruce sighs. "I know...I know...Fuck..."

Goblin keeps on laughing and laughing as Bruce and Peter hug silently.

Later...

Peter eats some of the cherry pie from the synthesizer. "I failed... I... allowed my judgment to end with killing innocent people..."

"If I was on your spot, I would have as well-..."

"Don't do that. No, you won't. You'd find a way to save both."

Bruce sighs and orders lobster from the Food Synthesizer. He sits with Peter. "Did I ever tell you the story of Rachel Dawes?" he smiled.

Peter shakes his head.

"She was my MJ before... Diana. I was given two choices by Arthur. Whether I save Rachel or I save the one she loved, Harvey Dent. I offered to save Rachel." Bruce's voice broke. "He gave me the wrong addresses. I'm never going to forgive myself for what I chose... It's just a reminder that this job? It isn't easy... You can't save everyone... And you can't always be the hero people think you are... We're corruptible because we're humans, whether or not we have the X-Gene or a Stand or a supernatural creature... We're people..."

"Isn't Harvey Dent... Two-Face?"

Bruce sighs. "Half of his body was dipped into oil. When I saved him, half of his body burned. He was a good friend of mine when we were younger... Such a shame... He's my first best friend who tried to kill me."

Peter sighs. "So did Ned."

"You mean the Goblin of your Earth?" asked Bruce.

Peter pauses. "Yeah. He's my friend again, though... But... After what he did... I just can't talk to him anymore like we used to, y'know?So tiring..."

"When we fought Goblin and those Multiverse Men when they attacked... And you decided to have the whole world forget about your identity. Of course, this didn't work on me because I'm from another Universe... And I'm glad I didn't forget you...I just wanted to say... You did good, kid. Sacrificing who you are... To save a place... To become a symbol... That takes guts... And just know... That if you have nothing in this world... Even if your dignity is stripped away, you'll always have one thing. That's my respect."

"Thank you, Mr. Wayne."

Bruce sighs. "You're alright, kid.You're alright..."

Peter sighs. "I'm just relieved that MJ's safe."

"Yeah... Tell Michelle and Mayday that I've developed new web cartridges for her."

"Thanks... she needs really good exercise. Having gained the abilities such a young age."

"Yeah... When Damian and Cass were kids... They used to electrocute me when I changed their diapers... So I decided to wear rubber gauntlets when changing them."

Peter chuckles. So does Bruce.

"Goblin..." Black Diamond used telepathy to speak to Goblin. "Do you have the video?"

"Yes..." thought Goblin, curled up in his cell.

"This will serve as a foundation for our possible plan in the near future... In case we would have to try and defeat the JLA instead..."
