Purge of Blackgate

In the Iceberg lounge...

Penguin received information that Bane is dead and a new guy named "Vigilante" killed him with poison and a railing.

He was pissed after hearing this but most importantly he was afraid because if the new guy doesn't mind getting his hands dirty then what would happen to him.

"Put a bounty on the new guy. Some of the cops in Black Gate are still under my thumb.

We'll orchestrate a riot there which would be enough of a distraction to keep Batman and his family busy while the new killer hero is killed by our men." said Penguin to his assistant.

As the assistant was about to leave he said "I'll call Deathstroke as safety. I don't want another Mystical Punisher in our hands."

The assistant nodded and went to make preparations. Meanwhile Penguin called Deathstroke and told him about the bounty on the new guy. Deathstroke readily agreed because from the information gathered from Penguin's sources he is a fighter and did not have any powers.

Vishal did not show any of his powers to the morons because he wanted them to underestimate him as a normal man so there would be a surprise waiting for them.

The news circulated among the surviving underground community and many bounty hunters and mercenaries got ready to take out the new vigilante.

In the Batcave...

Batman is seated in front of the Bat computer monitoring the situation in Gotam but half of his mind is filled with the words "Vigilante" has spoken to him.

"Hey Bruce." came a female voice. It was Barbara in her wheel chair.

"Barbara. What is it?" asked Batman.

"That's the question I need to ask you." said Barbara scrutinizing him.

"What do you mean?"

"Ever since you returned to the cave you seem to be in daze and lost in thoughts about something." said Barbara.

Batman didn't reply and turned his attention to te monitor hiding his emotions.

"Tell me. What happened in the station?" asked Barbara.

"The guy who murdered the rogues. He answered everything truthfully when I asked him the questions.

He was not even regretful about killing the rogues. When he asked me whether I would go to court for bringing justice to my own children or cover it up I could not answer." said Batman rubbing his brows.

Barbara was surprised to hear those words. That's a question no one in the family would ask to Bruce Wayne as Batman has a habit of blaming himself for things which he didn't have control of.

"He also asked if I would throw the criminal who harmed his son into asylum for him to escape.

I could not answer it at all." said Batman regretting.

"Does he have any relation to Joker?" asked Barbara with furrowed brows.

"No. Leaving his true name he never lied or played games in front of me like Joker.

He talked cold hard truths that Gordon and I could not refuse. Every time I either kept silent or tried to change the topic or avoided it.

While the cold hard truth hurt but the thing that hurt the most is that he doesn't see me and the league as heroes but as hypocrites." said Bruce.

Barbara was shocked as someone directly insulted Batman on his face.

When she thought about it, even she had doubts about the methods they are using to stop crime.

"It is another criminal getting to your mind." Barbara tried to take his mind off.

Batman felt even more miserable because he knows that the guy didn't have innocent blood in his hands.

His mind is in a complete state of turmoil and something kept gnawing at his heart.

"Where is our guy now?" asked Barbara.

"He was transported to Black Gate. The odd thing is our guy did not put up any resistance after killing Clayface. He came silently with me to get arrested." said Bruce.

"That's odd. Why did he do that? He could have easily escaped like before, right?" asked Barbara.

"I don't know. When I captured him he only----" Batman stopped.

"Wait a minute?" said Batman as he typed on the computer.

Batman growled and said "He is after Victor Zsasz."

"What?" shouted Barbara.

Batman put back his cowl and said "When I captured him he was wearing normal clothes but when I first encountered him he had a powerful armor and weapons on him.

He got himself captured because he is after the rogues and Zsasz was the only one who got caught by the Police." said Batman making his way to Bat mobile.

Suddenly red alarm started blinking. Barbara used the wheel chair to get to computer and put the alert on screen.

"A riot breakout in the Black Gate prison. Many criminals were released and it is orchestrated by Penguin and Death Stroke." said Barbara.

"They are after the new vigilante. Penguin is afraid so he sent his people to take the guy out." said Batman as he was about to board Bat mobile when Dick, Tim and Damien appeared.

"We're not letting you leave without us, Bruce." said Dick.

"Okay,." said Batman not putting any resistance because he needs as much help as he can get.

Dick warned Damien to be careful as his wound which may be small is still not healed. Damien being bratty nodded with frustration.

They all boarded their vehicles and made way to Black Gate.

In Black Gate....

Half hour ago...

Vishal slept on the hanging bed in the prison. He didn't have any cell mate so it was not a problem to talk to himself quietly.

"Let's see which of these guys are redeemable and which of them are irredeemable." said Vishal as he used soul reader skill all over the prison.

"What a record. 85 % of these guys are irredeemable and do not regret what they have done. 10% are redeemable and regret it. 2.5% are irredeemable but regret it and 2.5% are redeemable but do not regret what they have done." Vishal said to himself.

"What will you do host?" asked the system.

"I think I'll leave the 15 % out but if they come against me I'll hit them and render them unconscious.

There are two reasons. for the last two categories that I am going to leave them alive.

1) Since the 2.5% are already regretting their mistakes they would be on best behavior and same goes for 10%.

2) The second 2.5% are redeemable and do not regret what they have done is because they might have been trying to save their loved ones or very complicated circumstances.

"No mercy for the other 85 %. Mark those guys as red. Indicate a arrow mark in red when I go on a purge after killing Zsasz." said Vishal.

"As you wish, host." said the system.

"Let's see what is our beloved penguin is doing." said Vishal.

He sent one of the tracker bugs from prison and it was about to go out when it saw Penguin's thugs appearing with weapons and Death Stroke along with other bounty hunters have arrived at the prison.

Vishal saw the scene as Death Stroke knocked out the prison security and released the criminals.

"That fool is making it easy for me." said Vishal laughing.

His cell was opened along with other jail cells. He stretched his legs and came out.

The criminals who came out of the cells all joined together and looked at Vishal with anger. Zsasz came out with evil smile and said "Let me release you."

Vishal rolled his eyes. There are many floors and he saw with thermal vision as the criminals killing guards and making way upstairs. The 15 % stayed in prison which made it easy for Vishal.

"Come." said Vishal as the bionic armor and gadgets appeared.

He ran towards the guys and used Qi as a sword and started cutting down their heads. His movements are a blur which made it hard for the prisoners to see him.

Many had their hands, legs cut off with thrust onto their hearts. In just 10 minutes leaving Zsasz everyone was cut with blood flowing like rivers.

Zsasz took a step back seeing what has happened.

"Kekeke. Seeing the blood of criminals puts a smile on my face." said Vishal inspecting his Qi made sword trying to imitate Infinity War Thanos.

"Zsaszy, Zsaszy you're in for dazzly, dazzly death." said Vishal making a weird dance.

Zsasz fearing the guy ran towards the stairs in fear.

"Dangerous, oh I am so dangerous." Vishal sang as he performed a moon walk and chased Zsasz.

At Present...

He was chasing Zsasz.

" Come on. You're going to be liberated why are you running?" said Vishal laughing.

He ran and saw some of the guys about to appear when Vishal used Qi bomb on Zsasz causing him to fall down coughing blood.

Vishal appeared and used the Qi sword to cut off his body into four part.

"Four part liberation. Hehehe. I like the sound of it." said Vishal.

He made towards others and kept cutting them down until he came to the ground floor.

The 85% criminals died without putting a fight at all. Vishal's entire armor and his helmet along with the cloak is drenched with blood.

As he killed the last one he saw Penguin's men, bounty hunters and Death Stroke to appear.

"Thank you for coming here to see my presentation of Death." said Vishal to Death Stroke.

A chill ran down their spines. "And Death Stroke, you don't take commissions which involve superheroes right. Guess what you're facing a guy with superpowers. ahahah." laughed Vishal as the blue Qi which is the Martial Qi surrounded his body.

It was enough for all of them to shiver in fear and even Death Stroke was feeling tense.

"Let's go." said Vishal wildly as he stormed ttowards them.
