Before The Storm

Chapter 15

AN: Here it is the last chapter of Before the Storm. I am so glad that I have written this, because I love getting everyones reviews! When I first started this I had no idea about how many people would actually read this. Thank you all for reading, reviewing and following this story. I hate to stop, but the Dark Knight must rise onto the next story of our hero.

Two weeks had passed. There had been zero sightings of the Penguin, and one museum exhibit break in. Shockingly it was the recently added gold rush exhibit and guess what was stolen. Four golden bars donated to the museum by Bruce nine years ago that was put on display quite recently.

I searched the sewers a few time and had to leave when I thought I heard a man speak with a weird accent to a group of people. I did find the lair of the Penguin, but it was an old one. He had moved to somewhere else.

I visited Arkharm where The Riddler was kept. I asked him about the Penguin and the only thing he told me was that he once had a pet snail and he named him Steve. I left knowing I wouldn't get anything from him.

So I started checking out old abandon ice skating rinks, zoos, ice cream factory, anything cold, but couldn't find anything! Except for this one place, an old Ice making factory that was shut down in 80's due to the bad activities that was going on in the Narrows.

I got off the Bat cycle as I stood in front of the old factory that was covered in spray paint. I walked over to the main door and saw that there once was a chain locking the door, but now it laid on the ground a foot away. I opened the door and walked inside with my baton out and ready to strike at anything.

Laughing could be heard as I walked quietly through the dark hallways of the factory. I turned a corner and jumped back quickly when I saw that it lead to the shipping with a giant ray gun with the Penguin laughing next to it.

“So what is it, boss?” I heard someone ask.

“Well I got that science nerd the Riddler to fix this morphing ray. Everyone in Gotham will be morphed to look like a penguin! So that way they know how I feel when walking down the street and get laughed at or weird looks!” He growled angrily.

“Oh, so why the gold bars?” The person asked.

“Because that's what powers the stupid thing!” He said and heard him move away.

I looked out from the behind the corner to see him grab a bag that had gold bars in them.

“But first I think we need to test it out. Bring me the pig” The Penguin said and my eyes went wide when I saw some of his men drag an unconscious John in front of the ray.

I put away my baton and got out my pistol. I aimed and shot the men holding him. They dropped in pain, and the Penguin looked around the area. I looked up and saw an air vent. I climbed up into it and headed towards the shipping room they were in. I dropped down and began to fight my way to the Penguin.

Punch, kick, flip, punch kick flip. It sort of felt like a dance to me as I fought off his goons.

“Don't do this Penguin! Be the better man!” I shouted as I punched a man in the face.

“I would, but you see I'm not a man, I'm a Penguin!” He said laughing and tossed the bag of gold bars into a dish on top of the ray.

I dropped the guy I had in my hands and got out my grappling gun. I shot at the top of the ray and was about to go to the top to get the bars, but I was stopped by the Penguin.

“Stop or I'll kill the pig” He shouted.

I turned around to see the Penguin holding his umbrella to John's head as he sat up awake.
