Work Text:
A cloud of fear toxin parts as screeching ambience fills the air. The nightmarish visage of Batman from the end of “Arkham Knight” steps forth.
——————
Shang: “What led you to seek training from the League Of Assassins?”
Batman *Distorted Voice*: “Deception. That is what formed our Deadly Alliance.”
Shang pushes Batman back, revealing Red Hood to be his Kameo character.

Announcer: FIGHT!
Batman displays his reach, being able to grapple an opponent across the stage with a line fired from the shadow of his palm. A tug pulls Shang to him, allowing for a wave of bats flying from the ground to collide with the ensnared wizard and knock him back into the air. Red Hood then slides across the stage, juggling Shang in the air with three shots before exiting the view.
Shang, still airborne, is left defenseless as Batman vanishes into a cloud of smoke and reappears by dive kicking the sorcerer back into the floor. Shang gets back to his feet only for Batman to turn into a swarm of bats and fly past him. Reforming behind him the wizard and sweeping his feet out from underneath him.

Peacemaker: “Ah shit!”
Batman *Distorted Voice*: “I’m disassembling the Squad, Christopher!”
——————
Batman tosses a small net that ensnares Peacemaker, the image of the net taking the form of impish bats nibbling at their trapped prey. Red Hood then leaps into view behind Batman and takes a knee. Shooting out the legs of Peacemaker before standing up and shooting him in the face while airborne.
Peacemaker flips back through the air, allowing Batman to grapple him and pull him in. Batman vomits a swarm of bats into Peacemaker’s face and then tosses him to the floor, forcing the Squady on his knees. Batman steps aside as Red Hood leaps behind Peacemaker and shoots him in the back of the head.
Red Hood then leaps in again and places his foot on the back of the downed squady’s neck before shooting into the back of Peacemaker’s head as well.
——————
Sub-Zero: “Today, I prove Lin Kuei’s superiority over the League Of Assassins.”
Batman *Distorted Voice*: “You’re not the first cold-blooded killer to think that.”
——————
Batman evades Sub-Zero’s attack by dissolving into a cloud. He reappears on the opposite end of the stage, or at least an image of him does. As that Batman draws Sub-Zero’s attention before it dissolves, another leaps down and lands atop of the ninja’s shoulders. Using a Batarang to slit his throat before leaping off of him, pushing the ninja to the floor, and tossing the same Batarang into his back where it would detonate.
Red Hood then leaps into view behind Batman, using his shoulder to mount a rifle and is able to take three shots as the player now controls the Kameo for a limited time. Using three rounds before time runs out to push Sub-Zero back.
——————
Fatal Blow:
Batman tosses a trio of Batarang into Peacemaker’s torso, each one visibly cutting bone as they dig in. The nightmare descending upon the Squad Member as he begins unleashing a flurry of blows similar to a button-mashing sequence in the Arkham games.
Batman ceases the barrage and vanishes.
Batman: “This time, I break you!”
The dark knight declares as an apparition of a giant bat with glowing eyes flies into Peacemaker with the same force as the Batmobile.
——————
Fatality 1:
Batman: “I won’t kill you.”
Batman then leaps out of view.
Batman: “But I don’t have to save you.”
Red Hood then rides in on his motorcycle, ramming it into the disoriented Shang Tsung. Letting it explode on impact as he shot the gas tank the same moment it collided with the dark sorcerer.
——————
Fatality 2:
Batman tosses a Batarang to a dazed Sub-Zero. Though the Ninja Assassin catches it and inspects it as a low, high-pitched frequency can be heard coming from it. Looking at it in confusion, Sub-Zero fails to notice the man-sized bat swooping down at him from behind.
The Man-Bat pounces, mauling the unsuspecting victim as Batman and Red Hood watch on in victory.
Announcer: Batman Wins!
——————
Kameo Fatality:
Red Hood steps forward, aiming at Peacemaker with his gun. Only to hold fire and redirect it towards the sky, firing a flare from it.
Peacemaker looks to the light in the sky in confusion, only to scream as a scarlet arrow pierces through his kneecap from behind. Followed by another in the second knee.
Peacemaker, unable to stand, falls to his knees. His howling ceases as a starvolt then strikes his head, popping it from the jaw up.
Announcer: Flawless Victory!
