A new story is here! I am so happy to be back and as promised in July I am bringing you all the sequel. The sequel to Spider-Man in the Arkham City event. Now, the sequel a year later.

Also, made some changes here where it's not years later. Rather a year after the Arkham City event. Yes, I know it takes place nine months later, but fuck it I will go with a year later. Although, let's be honest a year later or three years later it doesn't matter a lot of stuff is gonna happen.

Now then, I want to thank everyone for the amazing reviews and the amazing support from my first story. I love you all so much and if I could I would give you all a bone-crushing hug. Also thanks to my friend AVP5 for his help on the story and for showing my OCs in his Guardians of the Galaxy/Injustice 2 crossover. If they show up here then I hope you all like them too.

Now, disclaimer time so I don't get in trouble. I don't own anything from the DC or Marvel universe. I only own my OCs. Now, without any further delay shall we get started? Enjoy the story everyone!

Prologue

Narration

A year has passed since the incident in Arkham City. A year since it was closed down. A year since the death of the Joker. And a year after the Spider-Man showed up to help Batman save his city.

Professor Hugo Strange was once the warden of Arkham City, which was an actual prison city that divided Gotham. It was made to hold the most dangerous criminals of Gotham and would allow the inmates to run wild, while being supervised. It also divided Gotham's city causing hundreds of citizens to lose their homes and businesses. And yet they were told the point of this prison was to keep the peace in Gotham.

Any attempt to escape and they would be executed by TYGER guards. They were a rogue private military firm contracted by the mayor of Gotham, Quincy Sharp. The public didn't seem to have much issues with the prison at first, until certain civilians began disappearing. There were those who worked in the construction of the prison, or were politicians who were against the prison, reporters who were digging in too much into the prison, or were just those unfortunate enough to find out something about it.

In any case, the Batman discovered what Hugo Strange was plotting and defeated him. Revealing the truth to the public and discovered who helped Strange.

Ra's al Ghul, the leader of the League of Assassins. A group dedicated to bringing down crime by killing, toppling governments, and creating chaos in order to start anew. During the fighting there were casualties. Ra's and Strange died, while others were killed during Ra's attempt to wipe out the criminals of Arkham City.

Thanks to his allies, the Batman was able to stop the extermination of Arkham City. Even stopped the Joker, his greatest nemesis who wanted to become immortal. The Joker met his end in Arkham City and died thanks to the poison that was going through his body. After that, Arkham City was shut down.

The City Council reversed Quincy Sharp's decision on martial law. Giving authority back to Commissioner James Gordon and the Gotham City Police Department. The TYGER guards disbanded, but they were still brought in to pay for their crimes in the murders. As for the former mayor, Quincy Sharp was impeached from his position as mayor of Gotham.

He claims he had no idea what had happened, which was true. He was being controlled by Hugo Strange to give him power, but his signatures were found on documents that implemented him in helping Strange. As a result he was found guilty of his crimes, which caused him to lose more of his sanity. So, he took his own life by hanging himself.

After that the Joker's body was cremated and any trace of him was finally gone. Nine months has passed since then and since then things appeared to quiet down in Gotham. Crime went down and it seems nothing bad was going to happen. However, for those who lived in Gotham for a long time knew this wouldn't last.

They braced themselves for the inevitable power struggle that would come. With the Joker dead a lot of the people knew the other criminals will try to take control over his territory. The police were on their guard. They knew a war was coming and they would need to be ready for it.

As for the Batman, he knew the criminal organization will start their war. Fight for control and the innocent will be caught in the middle of it. The question is will he be enough to stop them. Or will he need help for the upcoming war and for the one to pull the trigger…

Gotham City

It was normal quiet night, well as normal as possible in Gotham. As of late the citizens feel easy to go out at night without worrying about a dangerous criminal trying to take over. Ever since the Joker's dead and the fall of Arkham City things have been very quiet. The people were at first on edge feeling this peace wouldn't last.

The people never even knew what peace was like and are afraid if they relax then hell will break loose. As the months passed though things appeared to remain quiet. So, the people decided to enjoy this time of peace and relax as they went about each day normally.

On this particular night a police officer is seen heading towards an old-looking diner. He greets a young lady by the door before going inside to get out of the rain. He heads to the counter where he sat down on a stool. He calls for the waitress over, while noticing a newspaper on the counter.

The officer takes off his hat and sees the woman who appears to know him. She brings him some coffee and asks him for what he would like. He gives order and the waitress goes to give it to the chefs in the back. The officer looks around to see everyone appears to be going about their night like it was nothing.

It looks like this was going to be a normal night. That was until an older man walked over to let the officer know about a man smoking in the corner of the room. The officer didn't want to get up to handle something small, but it is his job to help keep the peace. Plus, this was a no smoking diner.

So, he walked over to approach the man. He appeared to be wearing a red hood over his head, dark vest, and a bag on the table that had red smoke coming out of it. He just hope this isn't a pyro who lid something in the bag for fun. Still, he needed to be careful and placed his hand near his gun just in case this guy tried something.

He taps the man on the shoulder trying to get his attention when all of a sudden the man leaps from his seat to attack the officer. His face turned monstrous as he grips the officer by the shirt before slamming his head on the table. The officer's vision got blurry for a few seconds when he noticed the diner completely changed. The floor was dirty, covered in insects, and when he looked up the people were panicking.

He saw the floor began to disintegrate and the people were attacking one another. He then saw one of them beginning to approach him, but appeared like a monster. So, he took out his gun to open fire, but the monster grabbed his hand and tried to bite him. He finally got his hand freed and opened fire on the monsters shooting them down one-by-one.

Until one grabbed him and leans in at him before everything went black.

An hour later

The citizens looked through their TV monitors at a surveillance footage of what happened in the diner. They were shocked when they saw the people attacking one another. Even seeing a police officer shoot down some of these people. They were told this was a chemical attack, but not one the people have ever seen to this extend before.

However, there were those who have and knew who was behind it. Load and behold the perpetrator revealed himself. He began speaking to the public about what happened. And his name is Jonathan Crane aka Scarecrow.

"This demonstration used just 5 ounces of my latest toxin," said Scarecrow as he appeared on the TV monitors to speak to the people of Gotham. "Tomorrow, this will seem like child's play."

He lifts his head up to reveal his new mask and hood over his head as he speaks to the public. "Gotham, this is your only warning…" he said before the screen began it disappear and the screams of people can be heard.

It looks like things don't look good for Batman or Gotham huh? Scarecrow is back and plan to unleash his fear gas on everyone. Not good huh? Let's hope Batman will be able to stop him before it's too late or might need some backup to stop him.

Will he get help to stop Scarecrow and his allies? Will they be enough? Will they also be ready for the Arkham Knight? Or will they find themselves in a tough spot?

Tune in next time on Dragon Ball Z…I mean on Spider-Man in the Arkham universe story. Now then, thanks to "gamer's little playground" on YouTube for doing the Arkham Knight game. I was able to get everything that happened in the opening from the video they did. Getting all I need for the story when I write it out. AVP5 also plans to use the video gamer did for his Arkham Knight story after Arkham City.

Also thanks again to AVP5 for the help on the story. I appreciate it and I also appreciate the support I have been getting for my stories. Thanks so much guys and I hope this first chapter despite how short it is goes well. Until the next chapter of course.

If you like how this went then please leave some reviews. Just nothing negative. Those are not allowed around here and if you didn't like this then don't leave a review to be a dick. See you all next time my friends and have a good day!
