The climber jumped to another ledge high above...and missed. He fell to the floor and didn't move again. The prisoners who had gathered and chanted him on scattered in disappointment. A few minutes passed and the television flickered to life, they saw Bane standing atop a tank in front of Blackgate Prison. "Behind me stands a symbol of oppression: Blackgate Prison! Where a thousand men have languished under the rule of the corrupt Gotham Police Department! Whose loyalty has been proven to be easily bought! Years ago it was the Gotham crime families who held sway over them....now Gotham has fallen prey to a new evil: The Batman!" Bane said. "A Commissioner who supports a vigilante trampling on the rights of citizens everywhere! A department of inaction and incompetence! It is time...for change!" Bane said. The tank's cannon aimed at Blackgate's doors: "We will retake Gotham from the corrupt! The rich! The oppressors of generations who have kept the common man down with myths of opportunity!"<br/><br/><br/>"That's not good...." Asuna said, "We have to get out of here!" "How? Bruce is still incapacitated and I don't know if escape is on the aganeda right at the moment." Kirito said trying to look around.<br/><br/>"Well the sooner we think of a plan, the sooner we can implement it once Bruce is well." Quintus said. "So I'm all for any ideas." "What I want to know is what's suppressing our powers." Leafa said, "cause Kirito and I could have easily flown out or Klein would have run up there."<br/><br/>"I'm with them. I wanna know what's making my ring not do anything, I can't even use its juice! is it some sort of dead zone for alien wi fi or something?" Lisbeth asked.<br/><br/>Bruce was soon able to walk again, the doctor's unorthodox tactics worked!<br/><br/>"Wow....who'd have thought." Zach commented.<br/><br/>"You don't fear death...." The man in the wheelchair said from the other cell, speaking english for the first time.<br/><br/>"You think this makes you strong....it makes you weak."<br/>"Why?" Bruce asked curiously.<br/><br/>"How can you move faster than possible, fight longer than possible....without the single most powerful impulse of the spirit: the fear of dying." The man said.<br/><br/>Bruce looked down before admitting: "I fear dying in here....unable to help anyone while my city is destroyed."<br/><br/>"Then make the climb...." The old man said, gesturing to the wall upward.<br/><br/>"....How? Nobody else seems to be able to do it..." Bruce scoffed.<br/><br/>"As the child did." The old man said, referring to Bane, "Without the rope. And fear will find you again..."
