《What A Clown...》16] A Plan
Advertisement
"Three secretaries that were reported missing ,after a appearance with The Joker at Gotham Grill & Bar, were discovered hanging above a entrance of a haunted house at a carnival fair. Dressed as 2 superheroes and a ballerina with carved smiles and a cut V at their waist, The bodies were discovered when the makers of the haunted house didn't recall making or even placing these very realistic 'decor'."
I clicked the old T.V off and smiled to my self. He started laughing as he put a few gas bombs in his coat. "Well that was 'fun'..." He said giggling as we adjusted our coats.
"Ready to Go 'Trick or Treat'n"
<><><>
"Trick or Treat...Mayor." I said kicking the door down holding my gun. The Joker came in giggling with two of his goons and three of my guys.
He walked beside me as the goons stayed guard. The mayor sat there still in panic. He then sat up and cleard his throat looking at the Joker.
"I thought you worked alone Joker?" The mayor said to him. The Mayor glared at me...You might wonder what was his problem but, we had a brief encounter before...that he will never forget.
The joker stopped and smiled at him. "Oh I'm not the uh, famously clever joker...Im Trick..." He said and I stepped forward and aimed my gun at the mayor. "And Im Treat" I shook out.
"And we want someone rich to beat."
<><><>
"Watch how sane your mayor is to listen to my every word." The joker said into the camera. The mayor stood at the edge of the skyscraper with a blank face. "Watch how he gives up on gotham..." He said as the mayor took a step and fell off of the building.
The Joker laughed as the mayor fell down yelling to his death. My plan was perfect. Mess around with the mayor...if he broke him thats good, if he didn't then I would but My Devil's Breath into action.
We sent him to go rob a store and kill someone, they got The Mayor on camera doing all of this.
Gotham's citizens are going nuts.
'What had They done to the mayor to go commit crimes and go kill himself?' They are saying. 'What will they do to Us?'
The fear they currently have is laughable. Yes the joker did some messed up things to the mayor, like those pictures of his daughter he showed him. But it broke him emotionally not mentally...after I came in he wanted to die and well...I just helped him at that.
"My videos are amazing I should be a movie director" he said looking down at the reporter a few stories away. I look down at the mayors body, a red smudge so far away.
"Told you My Breath stuff would be useful." I said walking beside him and looking over the edge. "Isn't it called Devil's Breath?" He said waving at a person that spotted him at the roof top.

"Same thing, would have gone a lot better if we had a plan." I said and he scoffed. "I just do stuff I have said that before, The joker doesn't need a plan." He said
"It would be more assuring if we had a get away plan, you know just incase they get us." I said to him. I like to keep things orginized and planned, many plans so many to choose from. But he doesnt...he just 'does stuff'.
"We should go before they get a chance to-" I stopped mid-sentence and he turned to me. I looked at the roof tops and the others.
I swear I heard something.
"Whats wrong toots, ya see some-" he stopped again as we both saw that blur go behind the huge vent. We both took out our knifes and guns and walked slowly towards it.
I started hearing the sirens far away. I snapped my head to the side as I saw the blur again. "No he isn't suppose to be here, that wasn't our deal!" I muttered to my self.
I hear the joker start to giggle as we both see the black getup. He came at us from a shadow and we got out of his way. He flew right by us and turned to us. The Joker started laughing loudly.
"I knew you weren't dead Batsy"
He stood up straight and glared at me. "What are you doing?!" He growled at me and switched his glare to the Joker. "Well this I don't like, we had a deal, and you aren't doing well on your part!" I said to him.
He looked at Joker then at Me again. I could see the panic he had when he realized what us two could do together. "Not gonna say hello? Well thats just rude." The Joker said cocking his gun.
"Joker we both no how this is gonna end...just give up and lets do it the easy way." He said to him and I laughed. They both looked at me as I loaded my gun and aimed at Batman. "Yes but He is with me and I am damn well not gonna go rot in jail." I said and shot at him.
He flew back over the building. He shot his hook and got it on the edge of the building. "Were does he get those stupid toys of his?" He muttered and I looked at him.
"Uhm...hehe" I said sheepishly. He glared at me, he caught on why I was acting like this. "If he shoots me with another stupid baterang thing Im so blaming you." He muttered and I smiled as the Batman went to the roof of the other building and held his side.
"I could have handled him, I don't need you." He said and I rolled my eyes.
"Okay fine with me" I said and left.

(Joker's POV)

She just left.
Whatever I can do it without her...Yeah. As soon as I get rid of the bat ill get rid of her...maybe.
He jumped up and landed a few feet in front of me. "Why I thought you were headless," I giggled as I flipped my knife in my hand. "If I survive your jokes I can survive him." He said and charged at me.
I got my gun and swung as his head making him stumble down. "Wow Im glad I can still have some fun around here." I sang and started laughing. He swung his feet under me and I landed on my back with a umpff.
I stumbled back up and kicked him. I looked over at the dark shadows then back as he kicked me off. I fell off the building laughing as a sudden deja vu hit me when his hook caught me again.
I swung in the air laughing and looked at a window.
I saw her grey eyes stare back at me with annoyance. She was only a few floors down. "What The Hell Are You Doing!?!" She yelled at me and I laughed again. "Ya know just hanging around..." I said and started laughing so loud I swear the mayor could hear it from where ever he is.
I saw the pointy bat ears behind her and stopped laughing. "Ey guess who?" I said tapping the glass pointing behind her. She turned around holding her gun and whacked him in the side.
He pushed her against the wall and she kicked him off her. "Well that wasn't kind..." She said and I tapped the glass. Batman turned to me and I yelled at him. "Shes gonna beat your ass!" I yelled. He made a confused face and she glared at me.

(Victory's POV)
He said she! Oh that clown is sooo gonna get it.
Batman saw me getting ready to hit him threw the windows reflection and nocked the gun out of my hand with a kick.
"What are you thinking V! How the hell did you pair up with the joker?" He growled at me. "Well we had a deal...I would help you fake your death and I would take over the city." I said simply as he aimed a punch at me.
"I said take care not take over...wait" he said and stared at the ground recalling his words. "Shit! Fox told me that it wasnt a good thing to make deals with you!" He yelled throwing a punch at me. "Well I am a man of my very clever words..." I said in a low voice and raised my fist but got shackled.
"Mr. V your under arrest for crimes that are to horrible to be said, anything you say can and will be held against you. You can request a a-" I heard and threw my head back and hit the cop in the face making him fall down. I jumped over my shackled hands and punched batman in the face then stood up straight. I glared at the joker that shrugged at me with a huge bloody grin upside down.
"Great" I said as two guns pointed at my head. Batman got The joker and pulled him in and cuffed him. "You know the drill" Batman told the Joker as he rolled his eyes.
They took us into a cop van thing. Four cops around both of us as we walked. The reporters almost a block away and the Mayors body covered by a white cloth.
"Reminds me when I dropped a egg off my counter." I said and Joker snickered. "Come on laugh ya know its funny." Joker said nudging a cop as they opened the door.
"I cant believe they caught us." I muttered as they chained us to the seats. We both had a cop on each side pointing a gun at our sides. We gave bored looks as they slammed the doors closed.
"This is what happens when you 'just do stuff'!" I rasped out at him. He looked at me all innocent like if he did nothing wrong.
"Its not like you would have done better" he sassed at me. "Yeah I would have...17 years of crime and not once have I ever gotten caught, this is what happens when I work with a clown" I growled at him.
"Be Quiet"
I started doing numbers in my head...how long I would be locked up if they added all the crimes they new Were mine. I would get two death sentences and three if they found out the ones in Brazil. I had to get out of jail quick! Or not even go in.
"Its not that bad..." He said to me and I glared at him. Does he not get that I don't get to go to a asylum!?! "Well not for you...your legally insane! Im wanted in over 3 countries and will probably be on death row." I said to him.
"Ey shut it"
We bothed glared at the cop. I was not in the mood. I kicked the gun out of his hand and threw him to joker. He kicked the guy in the crotch then kicked his head up. He started laughing and A plan came to my mind.
I smiled as the plan formed in my head.
I laughed with the joker as I kicked the cop around and knocked him out. We both laughed loudly and harder clutching our sides as tears nearly coming out of our eyes. They looked at us with fear and it was priceless.
I had to let the psycho in me out so I can let the real me out of this mess.

Magriculture (Rewrite)
When Aurum Industries announced the first Full Immersion Virtual Reality Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game (FIVRMMORPG if you're hip) Limitless Online, most people saw it as an opportunity to live out their sword and sorcery fantasies. John, however, saw it as the opening of a new and as of yet uncrowded job market. One he was willing, and eager, to exploit. Determined to make money through virtual hard work and effort, John sets his sights not on the heights of magic or the perfection of the sword, but instead upon the tilling of the soil and the sowing of seeds as he explores the wide and wonderful world of magical agriculture all from the comfort of his own bed. Disclaimer: This is a rewrite of the original "Magriculture", which some of you may have read. (To those who did, you have my deepest gratitude, it is absolutely because of your patronage and comments that this rewrite happened, and I feel the story is better for it.) That said, this story is not a complete and polished work, there will be mistakes and errors, an occasionally these errors may mean I need to rewrite portions of the story (as of this posting the story has gone through two major rewrites already, and I'm seriously hoping there won't be need of a third.) Because of this, there may at times be changes. Such changes may be as small as editing a few numbers (such as going back and changing how much mana an object holds) or it may force me to re-write entire chapters (this has happened once already, and I'm really hoping it doesn't happen again, but... life). Minor re-writes will probably never be posted here. Major rewrites probably will. Anyway, what this boils down to is: If you're looking for a fully cohesive story with few to no errors and publisher level editing, this is not the story for you. If you're looking for a cohesive plot that's more than "Man farms, man farms, man farms well, man maybe makes money" you're probably also in the wrong place, but I will attempt to entertain you anyway.
