Scarecrow himself says that Batman is the only one who makes him feel fear, something not even a Black Lantern can accomplish, and only pursues Batman so he can feel fear again

Jose, a short boy wearing a pair of glasses shouts at a group of green humanoid brutes.

Jose: Come on! Get those crates onto the ship before Cybersix gets us.

But unknown to him, inside the ship, a black cladded warrior jumps down and threw a kick right into one of the brute's face, knocking him out.

As three others charges forward, the figure punches one of them in the face before jumping up and throwing a kick, knocking the two back.

Meanwhile, behind Jose, a black cladded figure jumps down before sprinting forward and throwing a kick, knocking out a brute.

Just as the last crate has boarded the ship, Jose instructs the creations.

Jose: Alright let's go! We better bring this back to Father.

Jose boarded the ship and the ship began moving out.

The black figure leaps into the ship's haul just as the ship began moving out.

Ship

While Jose is happily munching on a pizza, unknown to him, a black figure attacks a brute with a series of punches before grabbing him and throwing him into a crate.

At the other side, a black figure throws a brute onto the wall, knocking him out.

As another brute charges forward, the figure spun around before throwing a kick, knocking the brute down into the water.

The figure then rushes to find Jose.

Jose's office

Jose orders his bodyguard.

Jose: You! Get your butt out there and find the others.

The brute nods and he steps out, only for the door to suddenly break open, sending the brute flying back.

Jose widens his eyes in shock and he looks up.

But upon laying eyes on the figure, Jose exclaims.

Jose: Wait a second, you're not Cybersix!

The figure approaches him and he said.

???: No. I'm Batman.

Batman strikes Jose hard in the face, causing him to scream in pain.

Batman throws the boy onto the ground and he said.

Batman: Surrender or else I will throw you offboard.

???: On no you don't! He's mine.

Batman looks up and he saw a woman cladded in black wearing a cape and a hat.

Jose gasps in shock.

Jose: Cybersix ahh!!!

Batman stomps his foot onto Jose's head, silencing him.

Batman questions.

Batman: Who are you?

Cybersix answers.

Cybersix: Jose is mine to capture. I need him to stop Dr. Von Reitcher

Batman: Your help is not required, you are to go back to where you belong.

Cybersix sighs and she said.

Cybersix: I'm sorry but, you will not touch him.

Batman: Make me.

Both Cybersix and Batman gets into a fighting stance before the two charges forward.

As Batman throws a punch, Cybersix ducks and she throws an uppercut, knocking Batman back.

Cybersix jumps up and she spun in the air before delivering a kick, knocking back Batman.

Jose tries to flee but Cybersix grabs him by the back of his shirt and she said.

Cybersix: You're not going anywhere Jose.

Cybersix throws him onto a chair and she blocks just as Batman throws a punch.

Both Batman and Cybersix continues to trade blows before Batman strikes her three times in the face.

Batman grabs Cybersix and he throws her out into the corridor.

Cybersix pushes herself up and she began retreating.

Batman climbed over the window and he fires a grappling hook at the edge of the ship deck before scaling up to the top of the deck.

Ship deck

As Cybersix dashes out, all of a sudden, several smoke bombs explodes around Cybersix, engulfing the entire ship in smoke.

Cybersix coughs and she looks around.

Cybersix: I better find him quickly.

Suddenly, something knocks into Cybersix, causing her to scream.

As Cybersix recovers, she suddenly felt something knock into her.

Cybersix turns back and she jumps up into the air before throwing a kick, knocking Batman onto the floor.

Cybersix charges forward and she attacks Batman with a series of kicks and punches before throwing him into a crate.

Batman throws several Batarangs at her.

But Cybersix dodges the Batarangs before grabbing a pole and throwing it at Batman.

Batman swung his arm back, deflecting the pole.

Both Batman and Cybersix jumps up and the two began trading blows with each other.

Batman jumps off the roof and he opens up his cape, gliding through the air.

Cybersix leaps after him and the two began clashing in the air, exchanging blows before Batman grabs her and throws her down.

Cybersix grunts as she crashes into a pile of crates.

Batman then whips out several explosive Batarangs and he throws it at Cybersix.

As Cybersix recovers, she looks down and upon seeing the Batarang glowing red, her eyes widens in shock.

Cybersix: Oh crap....

The Batarangs detonates, causing Cybersix to scream as her entire body explodes.

Batman folds his arms and he said.

Batman: I warned you. You should have stayed out of my way.

Batman turns and upon seeing Jose attempting to sneak away, he grabs him by the collar and he said.

Batman: You're coming with me and you are going to tell me everything about your father.

Jose gulps nervously as he felt the cold white eyes of Batman glaring at him.

Something tells him he would rather have his plans foiled by Cybersix than to face whatever the Batman intends to do to him.

Batman turns and he watches as the Batwing hovers above the ship.

Batman whips out his grappling gun and he fires a grappling hook before pulling both himself and Jose into the Batwing.

Batman throws Jose into the cockpit and he aims the Batwing's missile launcher at the ship before opening fire, causing the ship to explode.
