Jokers Training The large flash of white from Jokers weapon blinded the scientists. Soon after, the scientists could see again. "whoa," was all Garuda could stutter. What they saw amazed, and frightened, them. The steel dummy was in half, and Joker, looking more evil than ever, was chuckling. "STAGE TWO! BLADE RUNNING!" Joker was now in a long, metal, alleyway. He looked puzzled "wa do I do?" he asked. "Why cant he talk? I dont want my best monster talking like a baby!!" shouted Garuda. "Well, technically, he is a baby, we will teach him to talk after training" "How long will the speak training take?" "Not very, it is a VERY, intelligent monster" "ok," said the scientist. He pulled up the intercom, "the alley has 5 saws hidden in the walls, you have to run through the alley with out getting hit by the blades." Joker nodded. "Extra points if you destroy the blades" said Garuda pilling up the intercom. In a flash of blinding light, Joker was at the end of the alley, holding all 5 of the circular blades. The assistant scratched something on a notepad, "STAGE 3:TITANIUM HENGER, YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO" the scientist said on the intercom. Joker and the robot walked into the arena. The Henger threw a punch at Joker, Joker grabbed the Hengers hand, and crushed it. The Henger screeched in pain. In its distracted state, Joker punched it right through its glass eye. The robot fell to the ground. The assistant scratched something else on a piece of paper. "FINAL STAGE JOKER!! GOOD LUCK!! DISSOLVING FLOOR, ANOTHER SPEED ONE, JUST RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN BEFORE THE FLOORS GONE!" The scientist yelled into the intercom. The Joker flew to the end of the room before the floor even started to disappear. The scientist scratched something on the piece of paper, "hmmm, should we?" mumbled the assistant. "Lets see what happens"said the scientist smiling.
