Chapter One: The Dead Yet Live
Computer, deploy the warhead, please."
He was falling, falling into a vat of boiling hot chocolate. No. Not that vat. The other one.
The last thing he remembered was The Batman's triumphant face, a splashing noise, a burning sensation across his entire body, and then darkness.
When he woke up, he was shaking with pain. He opened his eyes slowly, but even that took an enormous amount of effort. In front of him was a vat tipped sideways, with melted chocolate spilling out of it. Looking around him, he found himself lying in a giant puddle of the gooey brown liquid. He pushed himself up, and ran a hand through his chocolate-soaked hair, then gasped as pain shot through his arm. He looked down at his hand. It was burnt red and raw. His face contorted with pain, it slowly changed into an expression of anger. His shaking hand curled into a fist.
With all the strength he could manage, he heaved himself off the floor, and started limping over to an old telephone hanging halfway off the wall of the factory. The only sound he heard was the steady drip, drip of chocolate, an all too painful reminder about what had happened. He had been beaten by The Batman, and had almost been burnt to death.
He reached the telephone, and slowly dialed a number. There was a ringing noise, and then a high-pitched voice said,
"Hello?"
"Candy…it's me."
There was a gasp on the other side of the receiver.
"Sweet Tooth? Is it really you? Oh Sweet 'Art, I knew you'd be okay!"
Sweet Tooth heard Candy squeal with delight. He, on the other hand, only grimaced as another wave of pain shot through him.
"Candy, listen. I'm still at the candy factory. I need your help."
"Oh, I'll do anything for you darling!" Candy replied.
"Great…"
Unexpectedly, Sweet Tooth smiled as he realized what this meant.
"Sweet Tooth? You still there?" Candy asked.
"Wh-yes, of course I am. Oh, and Candy, darling?"
"Yeah Honey?"
"Get ready to make a come back."
