"Out of my way, clown." Jack responded in his gritty tone, while the big tree looking guy was just confused. After coming out of nowhere, a giant walking tree came to the aid of Jack after getting thrown across the chemical storage department of Ace Chemicals. The Fool made his grande entrance attacking the plant creature. Skeleton Jack dusted himself off while the jester looking hero tried to keep himself standing, Jack tried to communicate with the mobile tree. "The man with all the colors is just dumb. That man..." Jack began to say pointing at Bane who was still trying to get chemicals loaded into a van during the confusion, "..is bad." Skeleton Jack leaped forward, charging toward the man in the mask who seemed to be losing muscle mass every few minutes or so. He dodged a barrel of chemicals thrown by the enemy of Batman and went in for close quarters combat. His fighting skills were superior to those of Bane however Bane still had the strength to rattle Jack's jaw. Spinning around, Jack used his tactical skills and slashed one of the front tires of the van with his left gauntlet. The man was already wearing down, and now his transportation was screwed up. It infuriated the genetic freak and he landed a few strikes on Jack. The Fool looked to be doing better and the walking tree seemed to at least be moving in Bane and Skeleton Jack's direction. After picking himself up off the ground Jack could barely make out what was going on before taking a strike to the right side of his head from the boot of Bane. Thinking instinctively Jack swept Bane's other leg out from under him and tried to buy himself more time. "I used to respect you, Bane. You were the man who broke the Bat. What are you now, what've you become? Just another jacked up freak with a drug addiction. If I had a decent knife I'd have ended this ten minutes..." Jack began taunting while backing into a corner, interrupted by somebody approaching the brute who was down to about three hundred and fifty pounds of muscle mass... ~KL~
