"You all know what I'm thinking, right?" Nightwing muttered.

"Raid the League of Assassins base, and blow up all their assarangs?" Spoiler spit out the word like it was venom.

"Put on these clothes so we can sneak in," Batman ordered.

"These are too big for me to put on, Father."

"And don't we want to go in with a BANG?!" Nightwing asked.

"Plan first," Black Bat added, as they all climbed inside the Batmobile, and headed towards the Batcave to make a plan.

"Dropzone," Batgirl ordered as she gave control of the Batwing to Agent A.

Eight people jumped off the open hatch, using parachutes or their capes to slow their descent. They split off into two groups: the girls and Red Hood headed off to fight the incoming assassins. How were they so easily spotted? Simple, they landed straight in the middle of a field of training assassins. Stupid? Yes, but they needed to make a point.

That left Nightwing, Batman, Red Robin and Robin to blow up the armory. They let Robin navigate the maze that Ra's and Talia called the League of Assassin's base. They easily located the armory. There, they saw rows and rows of assarangs. It made Batman, aka the creator of the Batarangs, and Nightwing, aka the namer of the Batarangs, both start fuming.

"Detective, Grandson, I knew you would come," Ra's appeared by the door with Talia and a batallion of assassins, causing Nightwing to mutter a quiet "rude."

"Grandfather. Do you not have more honor than to use Father's batarangs and rename them?" Robin asked quietly, causing Ra's to chuckle silently.

"A dip in the Lazarus Pits is due for me soon, let us finish this quickly, Detective," Ra's drew a long katana.

Ra's and Batman met in duel, batarang against katana, although it was clear Ra's was gaining the upper hand, since batarangs...are not really an ideal weapon for close combat.

An escrima stick met with a katana, intercepting that would have been met by another katana, leaving Robin and Red Robin to handle the assassins. Nightwing and Talia were both equally matched, their fight turning into a graceful dance between the two.

***

Red Hood shot another assassin in the head. With a rubber bullet that just knocked him out. He knew that Batgirl was by his side, but he didn't know where Spoiler and Black Bat ran off to.

Red Hood smirked. They may have been outgunned, outmanned, and outnumbered, but they were not outplanned, and that gave them a huge advantage.

Distantly, he could hear Batgirl scream, "Maneuver Fastball!" as she jumped at him. He caught her arms, spinning her in circles before throwing her at a cluster of assassins.*

Batgirl landed gracefully on an assassin, kneeing one in the stomach, before kicking at another one's legs. She threw a batarang at an assassin running behind an unaware Red Hood, knocking him unconscious just as another batarang whizzed past her ear, accidentally slicing a few strands of hair before hitting it's target straight above the heart.

They both gave each other a nod of acknowledgement, before throwing batarangs, discs, wing-dings, and birdarangs at random targets, until they ran out of items to throw...except. Casually, Red Hood threw his AK-47 at the remaining assassin, catching it after, before the both of them ran to aid Spoiler and Black Bat.

***

Black Bat punched an assassin in the face, and elbowed another one in th eye. She felt two assassins grab her arms as she quickly swung her feet under them in retaliation, knocking them off their feet before throwing one at another assassin, who fell back into another assassin, and another, etc.
