The mutant talks to Chase and says that it’s too late for Franco, the only way for everything to end is for one of them to die. Chase says that he’s going to seal him and find a cure. Joker says that a cure doesn’t exist, the only cure is for the Neo-Joker to kill the Joker, but he says that he won’t allow that. When he kill Chase, the end of the world will begin, and the mutant virus will spread around the world. Joker then says that he’ll give him a far fight until Chase decides to let his mutant side break free. Joker transforms into Galore and Chase transforms into Ace and the two fight.
