"No one's inside." Deadman stated. The warehouse appeared empty, as if everything had been moved.

"Don't let your guard down." Zatana reminded him. "We can't assume anything, especially not with who you we are dealing with. Zsasz is cunning, and we have no leads as to where he could be hiding." She examined what remained in the warehouse. All that was left was a set of blueprints and what appeared to be old medical equipment.

She picked up the blueprints and read them. "Kira, take a look at this." He walked over and took a look at the blueprints.

"It appears to be a shuttle of some kind. Who would have the resources to make something like this?"

Zatana flicked the light switch, bringing light to the darkness covering the room. There were weapons. The room was filled with weapons and vehicles. "Someone who could build an army." Suddenly, a man flew through the wall. He was on fire, but alive. He crawled for safety, but Deadman stomped down on his back, holding him in place.

"What the hell is this?" he asked, looking through the hole in the wall. Outside, there was a battle being waged.

"Legs Like That!" Chun-Li yelled, summoning her Stand. In an instant, it appeared, with a flurry of kicks overwhelming some of the guards. Two of the guards ducked for cover as the new Power Rangers took control of the situation.

"We need a way out of this, someone radio the boss, tell him to hurry up the plan, we have no other option!"

"I got a plan!" the other proclaimed, jumping from cover. He rushed to Maps, placing his gun at her head, holding her at gunpoint. "I grabbed the useless one, we can use her as leverage!"

Maps turned her head to the guard, enraged. "Useless? Did you call me useless? Enough! I'm tired of this! I have a Stand too! I can be... a hero!" She punched him in the middle of the visor, cracking it. He stumbled back, taking another punch from Maps to send him to the ground. "My Stand may not be able to fight, but I can still be a hero!"

From atop the warehouse, a man watched the fight. "I haven't seen spirit like that in such a long time." He turned his attention back to the road. A truck barreled down the street, speeding across Gotham. He sprinted across the rooftops, chasing it down. The truck screeched to a stop at the docks, and Mastadon Sentries poured out of it. The man dropped down to examine the truck and the soldiers.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Hey! Deadman! Katana!" Maps ran over to them, pointing at the road. "The Cab isn't pointing at the warehouse anymore, it's pointing at the other side of town!"

"Contact the others, I'll go after them." Deadman said. 

"We'll hold them off!" Ken yelled over, using Switchblade to cut down a guard rushing at him.

Deadman and Maps set off for the other end of Gotham as Zatana and the Power Rangers fended off the remaining Mastadon Sentries.

Avdol and Diana met up with the duo near the docks, finally ready to catch the serial killer plaguing the city. They observed the truck parked at the docks, as the sentries unloaded a shuttle from the truck. And then, brought from the back, confined to a wheelchair, was Lord Drakkon accompanied by Victor Zsasz. 

"You plan to flee Earth?" Zsasz asked. Drakkon shook his head.

"You can see the situation we are in. The warehouse is under siege, there are new Power Rangers on Earth. I am not in a state where I am able to fight them. I understand you wish to have a quiet life, but I hope you realize that it is not possible, at least not here."
