Chapter 54: Chapter 54 (edited)

The high-speed train successfully left the blockade of Naihe Island via the viaduct. As the microwave transmitter entered Gotham City, the water in the underground pipes within range began evaporating.

The sudden surge in pressure caused sewer covers to shoot into the air one by one, shrouding Gotham City in a poisonous fog filled with fear toxins.

Meanwhile, Bruce had caught up with the train, breaking inside to thwart Ra's al Ghul's scheme and ambitions.

"You never learn, do you?" Ra's al Ghul remarked, unfazed by Bruce's pursuit. After all, Bruce had once been his disciple.

Ra's, however, showed no fear of Bruce as Batman. With a simple wave of his hand, four of his subordinates stepped forward to block Bruce's path.

"I didn't intend to kill you, Bruce, but if you insist on getting in my way, then so be it," Ra's declared coldly, effectively sentencing Bruce to death.

The four subordinates picked up on his meaning and exuded murderous intent as they rushed Bruce from all sides.

Bruce didn't hesitate, utilizing the skills he had honed over the years to face them head-on.

The path that Bruce followed had been recommended by Ra's, and the training Bruce received mirrored that of his opponents. The difference was that Bruce lacked their superhuman strength, but his intense training under the League of Shadows had prepared him for such moments.

Even against four attackers in the cramped train car, Bruce was superior to these shadow fighters. The combat experience and skills he had gained since leaving the League made him a formidable opponent.

With calculated strikes and efficient movements, Bruce took them down one by one without taking their lives.

"Are you going to keep hiding behind your lackeys?" Bruce shouted, addressing Ra's directly.

Ra's al Ghul simply snorted, producing a blade hidden within his cane. With a quick motion, the concealed weapon revealed itself, a sharp straight blade gleaming in the dim light.

"You underestimate me, Bruce," Ra's said, stepping forward with a deadly grace. "You'll see true terror now."

Ra's swung the blade toward Bruce, who had no weapons in hand. However, the armguards on his suit were prepared for such a moment. Raising his right arm, Bruce intercepted the attack, using the reinforced serrated edges of his armguards to trap the blade.

With a sudden exertion of force, Bruce snapped the blade.

"Crack."

The sound of the knife breaking into several pieces echoed in the train car.

Though seemingly formidable, a blade is highly vulnerable to lateral pressure, and Bruce exploited this weakness to destroy Ra's cherished weapon.

Ra's stared at the shattered remains of his blade, a weapon considered one of the finest within the League of Shadows.

This moment reflected Batman's meticulous preparation. When Bruce has time to plan, he becomes a match for even the most powerful foes. His strategies have enabled him to best enemies like Superman in the past, albeit under extreme circumstances.

Returning to the present, Ra's al Ghul remained calm despite the loss of his weapon.

"Do you think breaking my blade will stop me?" Ra's taunted. "You forget, Bruce, I taught you everything you know. You have never defeated me before."

Ra's lunged barehanded, his strikes swift and precise.

Bruce quickly realized he had underestimated his former master. Ra's al Ghul was faster, stronger, and more experienced.

"Thud. Thud."

Ra's landed successive blows on Bruce, his movements too quick for Bruce to counter effectively. The precision of his attacks left Bruce struggling to defend himself.

"Is that all you've got, Bruce?" Ra's mocked. "Never forget, you are my student, and you've always fallen short against me."

Despite Bruce's best efforts, he could not match Ra's in a one-on-one confrontation. His only hope lay in Jim Gordon completing the plan to blow up the viaduct and disrupt Ra's focus.

However, the train had only just entered Gotham City, still far from the Wayne Tower viaduct where Gordon's explosive charges were set. Bruce was running out of time—and options.

At that critical moment, a strange noise came from the train car.

A dark figure suddenly entered through a shattered window, flipping gracefully into the cabin.

"Need a hand, handsome?" Kara, dressed in a battle suit mirroring Bruce's, stood confidently with her hands on her hips, her tone light and teasing.

Despite his battered state, Bruce's relief was evident. "Did you deal with the others?"

"Piece of cake," Kara replied, tilting her head to reveal the blade strapped to her back.

Ra's al Ghul frowned, realizing what this meant. Losing his subordinates spoke volumes about Kara's skill.

"Bruce," Kara continued, glancing at the microwave transmitter in the center of the train. "Don't tell me you still plan to salvage this thing? Why not just destroy it?"

Bruce groaned weakly. "Do I look like I've had the chance to destroy it?"

Kara finally noticed Bruce pinned beneath Ra's, one hand gripping his throat while the other prepared to deliver another punishing blow.

She raised a hand to shield her eyes dramatically. "Carry on—I didn't see anything."

Both Bruce and Ra's shouted simultaneously, "What are you implying?!"


Chapter 55: Chapter 55 (edited)

For Kara, an elderly man pressing down on a middle-aged man was a bit of a hot-headed scene to witness.

She shook her head, thinking she might be reading too much into it.

Ra's al Ghul released Bruce Wayne with a snort, seemingly satisfied with the lesson he had imparted. Ra's believed Bruce would stay down and not dare rise again.

Adjusting his suit, Ra's turned his attention to Kara and Bruce. Dressed sharply in a neat suit and leather shoes, Ra's might have seemed like a gentleman. However, knowing his intentions, no one would mistake him for one.

"You think you can stop me?" Ra's sneered, glancing at both of them. Despite facing two versions of Batman, he remained indifferent. "You're just two ordinary people hiding behind masks. Neither of you can stop me or this train."

Kara lowered the hand she'd used to cover her eyes, peeking through her fingers, then shrugged. "He can't, but that doesn't mean I can't. It's time to show you what real skill looks like."

As she spoke, Kara unsheathed the long blade strapped to her back. With swift, deadly precision, she beheaded the four henchmen Bruce had knocked down earlier.

Ra's eyes twitched in irritation.

Unlike Bruce, who held back, Kara's strikes were calculated to kill. Bruce had merely incapacitated them, while Kara made sure they'd never stand again.

Ra's had been confident because he knew his men would recover and return to fight. But now, he stood alone, facing Kara and Bruce.

Bruce, still on the ground, glanced at Kara, who returned his gaze.

"Why? Feeling queasy?" Kara asked coldly. "You have to realize something—if you let your 'master' go, millions of people in Gotham could die. Do you want to gamble the lives of forty million people for your personal code?"

Bruce sighed. "I didn't say anything."

Even Bruce understood the weight of the situation.

"That's better," Kara said, turning her attention back to Ra's. "By the way, do you mind if I clean up the mess for you?"

Her tone was dry, almost mocking. By "cleaning up," she clearly referred to eliminating threats, a job Bruce was unwilling to finish.

Bruce rolled his eyes but remained on the ground, feigning disinterest.

Ra's sneered at the exchange. "You think she can defeat me?"

Kara's slender frame, emphasized by her modified Batsuit, clearly marked her as a woman. The voice changer in her mask darkened her tone, but her feminine cadence was unmistakable.

Ra's felt insulted. How could a mere woman challenge him?

"I..." Ra's began, but Kara moved before he could finish.

In an instant, her silver-white blade slashed toward him, cutting through the air with deadly speed.

Ra's instinctively stepped back, pressing himself against the wall of the train. The cold metal sent a shiver down his spine, but he'd managed to dodge Kara's initial strike.

Her decisiveness and ruthlessness surprised him. She hadn't hesitated or fought conventionally but had opted for an efficient sneak attack instead.

"You..." Ra's began again, anger flashing in his eyes.

Kara didn't wait for him to finish. She lunged forward, raising her right leg for a powerful knee strike.

Ra's barely sidestepped, pressing himself against the train wall.

Boom!

The train shuddered violently as Kara's knee connected with its structure, leaving a deep dent.

Even Ra's, accustomed to extraordinary displays of strength, was momentarily stunned by her power.

Bruce shielded his eyes, wincing as he remembered the times Kara's strength had been directed at him during their training.

Ra's had underestimated her because of her gender. In reality, Kara was faster, stronger, and more lethal than Bruce. Her attacks were crisp, decisive, and designed to kill without hesitation.

Kara remained silent, her cold expression hidden behind her mask. The lower half of her face betrayed a faint, icy smirk, and her red eyes burned with determination.

"Stop running, old man. What are you, a rat?" Kara taunted, her voice cutting through the noise.

She grabbed onto the steel wall of the train, her fingers sinking into the metal as she propelled herself forward. Ra's had no choice but to retreat further, leading them toward the control room of the train.

Cornered in the cockpit, Ra's finally ran out of space to maneuver. He turned to face Kara, a hint of fear flashing in his eyes as he recognized her sheer strength.

"Who are you?" Ra's demanded, desperate for answers.

Kara rolled her eyes beneath her mask. "Why does everyone ask that question? If I wanted you to know who I was, do you think I'd be wearing a mask?"

Ra's opened his mouth to retort, but Kara didn't give him the chance.

"And you," Kara continued coldly, her voice dropping an octave. "Life is a cycle, and your part in it is over."

Her tone was dark, her words laced with menace.

Ra's, unwilling to accept defeat, adopted a defensive stance, prepared for Kara's next move.

As Kara prepared to strike, Bruce finally got to his feet. Instead of assisting Kara, he turned his attention to the train's microwave emitter, still active and endangering the city.

Kara noticed Bruce's indifference and couldn't help but silently complain. Seriously? I'm here fighting for my life, and you're just playing technician?

Ra's noticed Kara's brief distraction and seized the moment to make his escape. He leaped onto the control panel, aiming to jump out of the high-speed train.

But just as he was about to leap, Kara appeared beside him, her hand locking onto his ankle with iron-like strength.

"Did I say you could leave?" Kara snarled.

Ra's turned, his face pale with fear. He had no idea how she'd caught up so quickly.

With a sneer, Kara lifted Ra's into the air and slammed him into the control panel.

Boom!

The force of the impact left Ra's lifeless, his body crumpled against the console.

The train screeched as it began to slow, but Kara's cold expression remained unchanged.

For Kara, the mission wasn't over until the city was safe—and Ra's al Ghul was no longer a threat.
