Chapter 4: What Does the Batman Dream?
While a certain Danny Phantom was still trying to figure out how to control the Batmobile and its many gadgets, Nocturne was preparing an outright nightmare for the Batman. As the Dark Knight woke up, it appeared he was in an obvious dream that Nocturne had crafted up.
"Ah, the Dark Knight, you are most an interesting fellow" said Nocturne, "you managed to defeat my friend Skulker, but I hardly doubt you have plans to defeat me. I know your most weakest points, and oh also the man behind the mask and why you became the Batman."
"How do you know all of this?" asked Batman as he soon found himself in a chair chained up.
"I'm what you called a mind-reader Bats" replied Nocturne, "I can leap into people's dreams and find out their inner most secrets. You still relive the horrible day your parents were murdered, maybe we should roll that part of your life over and over, wouldn't that be so much fun?"
Batman tried to struggle as he it turned out it was no use as he had no access to his utility belt. A film popped up on the wall that immediately showed up right in front of the Batman. There, he relived that horrible day as if he were a boy again. Carefree, no troubles in the world.
"Oh, here's the part I was waiting for" laughed Nocturne in an evil manner as he also had some popcorn with him.
"How did you get that?" asked Batman.
"Duh, I control your dream silly" replied Nocturne.
The Dark Knight couldn't bare to watch his parents being gunned down in a robbery gone wrong. He felt, that perhaps if Nocturne could control HIS dream, why not control it and get it back under the Dark Knight's control? So the Batman did, instead changing the image on the film a bit of himself coming into the scene and swooping down to beat down Joe Chill which Nocturne was flabbergasted by this.
"How the heck are YOU doing this?!" cried Nocturne.
"My dream, mine rules" replied Batman as he suddenly was able to free himself from the chair he was chained to.
"Ha, you think you still are able to defeat me, your weapons are useless!" laughed Nocturne.
"My rules, mine dream" replied Batman.
Suddenly the Batman threw a Nth metal batterang at Nocturne causing quite some painful damage to him.
"Impossible!" cried Nocturne.
"You think you can be able to control my dream?" asked Batman as he was circling Nocturne, "Let's see who'll win in this fight if it's my dream then?"
Nocturne attempted to throw a punch at Batman, yet he managed to easily jump right out of the way. The dream-crafting ghost then began to create ninja foot soldiers for himself which he then sent at the Batman.
"Take him down!" ordered Nocturne.
The about three dozen or so of ghostly ninjas Nocturne had created charged at the Batman. But the Batman created Nth metal made knuckle bracelets and began to easily punch out Nocturne's henchmen. The dream-crafting ghost had just about enough, and shape-shifted himself into a large dragon and was about to move on in on the Batman. But as he held his breath and was about to breath fire on the Batman, Bats created a Nth metal shield and a Nth metal sword for his defense.
"Bah, you think of everything to outwit me!" cried Nocturne as his fire couldn't penetrate the shield Batman was holding.
"Wouldn't you have it easy if I were awake?" asked Batman.
"You're right Bats, perhaps I would have it easy so that I can actually break you!" laughed Nocturne.
Meanwhile, a certain Danny Phantom was having a bit trouble still controlling the Batmobile. After turning it into a tank, and crushing a few parked cars here and there. Danny noticed the button that was shaped like a helicopter which he quickly pressed it changing the Batmobile into a helicopter from a tank. As Danny attempted to gain control over it, Batman who was sitting in the shotgun seat was waking up as he successfully managed to trick Nocturne into doing so.
"Er, could you help me out here?" asked Danny as he couldn't really fly a helicopter.
"Ah, just like sitting ducks, my first hated enemy, and my second" laughed Nocturne whom popped right up behind them as he enlarged himself, "I'll be glad to swat you two out of the sky!"
"Move over kid, I'm taking over" said Batman as he got into the driver's seat and pushed Danny to the shotgun seat.
Once the Batman managed to take control of the helicopter, Nocturne immediately gave chase to the two. Once more, also in his dragon form which Nocturne originally attempted to stop the Batman.
"I'm going to need some back up here kid, can you give it to me?" asked Batman.
"What kind of back up to you really want?" asked Danny.
"What sort of powers do you have besides being half ghost?" asked Batman.
"My ghostly wail" replied Danny.
"Do that, I'll bring Nocturne in for the trap" said Batman.
As Danny disappeared from the shotgun seat, Nocturne was too busy to notice Danny was missing. The helicopter led Nocturne straight toward where the ocean was located.
"Going out to sea so that I can send you sinking?" laughed Nocturne, "Oh this is just too easy!"
"That's what you think" said Batman as he then pressed the button that was shaped like a submarine which the Batmobile then quickly dove right down into the water.
"Where the heck did he go?" asked Nocturne.
"Looking for me?" asked Danny as he appeared right before Nocturne.
Before Nocturne could attack Danny, Danny held his breath and used his ghostly wail move on Nocturne. The shockwave was doing quite a bit of damage against him, and changed himself back into his normal shape. He then quickly fell right into the ocean to which the Batman had a Fenton thermos in hand, as he opened up the hatch of the Batmobile and sucked Nocturne right into the thermos, just about right before he could make a splash in the water.
"Two down, three to go" said Batman.
Meanwhile, as Batman and Danny celebrated their victory over the battle against Nocturne, a certain Gentleman Ghost was quite upset that it was taking too long for Nocturne to come back.
"Bah, I knew I shouldn't have allowed that fool to go into the Batman's dream world!" cried Gentleman Ghost.
"So what do you expect us to do about it?" asked the Fright Knight.
"We need to end this once and for all" replied Gentleman Ghost, "I'll take care of this Danny Phantom, while you two take down the Batman."
"Ha, now you got some action for us!" laughed Technus.
