Hello! We meet again. And welcome to Chapter 4. The first three of this fic showed you the fun and frolics of the Seirin High School
Fair, and even some of the romance between different couples, not to mention several guest and cameo appearances of various anime,
and non-anime characters. Heck, even characters from the current cartoon series, The Batman showed up. And even Ellen Yin and the
Batgirl are there for added diversity.
Now, after three chapters of love and romance, I'll be focusing this chapter on terror and mayhem, as Solomon Grundy gate-crashing at
the school fair. The heroes who are present here will be aiding the Ghosts at School gang in dealing with these threats.
And by the time you reached the bottom portion of this chapter, you'll be in for a big surprise as there'll be some revelations on what will
occur at the following chapters after this. You'll just have to read it, and wait and see…
The Wrath of Solomon GrundyBy 11:30 am, there have been at least 150 people, mostly students, dead on the spot, due to the intruder. And almost 100 more are
badly hurt, as Solomon Grundy tossed debris and heavy objects towards the crowd, while some are due to panic and stampede. And
despite their efforts, Anita King, and Michelle Chang were among the critically injured victims, leaving Maggie Mui and Yumiko Readman
to hold off Grundy, while onlookers dragged Anita and Michelle to safety, and are now being attended by paramedics. By now, SWAT
teams arrived and attempted to deal with the attacker, but bullets were no match for Grundy's tough skin. Grundy then crushed the necks
of two SWAT members, killing them on the spot. Keichiirou and Amanojako were somewhere safe, away from the incident. He asked
Amanojako if the attacker was a ghost. Amanjako kept using his ESP to probe the attacker's mind, but was unable to penetrate it.
"Couldn't tell. His mind seems to have a shield to prevent me from probing it. Let's hope that your sister and your friends are all right."
Amanojako replied.
In five minutes, more SWAT team members arrived, and where shocked to see several bodies, and were even surprised as Solomon
Grundy ripped a 9-year old girl apart in two, killing her, and exposing her spinal column, and other internal organs. They opened fire, but
Grundy keep on coming. Maggie used several papers to form a paper-like version of Grundy. Yumiko did the same, and finally, they
managed to stop Grundy's tracks, if for only a few minutes, enabling some SWAT members to safely carry away the injured. Then
everyone's attention was caught, as the Batman came into the scene, hitting Grundy with a steel pipe. But that didn't faze him, and began
to strike him with his enormous fists. The Batman quickly eluded Grundy's offenses, and hurled grenades at him, and Grundy staggered,
but still maintain his footing. The SWAT team decided to aid the Dark Knight and the Paper Masters by opening fire again, hitting
Grundy. But this only served to enraged Grundy, as he tore apart the paper-like titans, and grabbed Maggie and hurled her against a wall,
knocking her out, leaving Yumiko and the Batman to fend off the massive titan. The Get Backers arrived, and wasted no time in stopping
Grundy. Ginji used his electricity to weaken Grundy. Then Ban used his Snake Bite, but it didn't dent his skin. The four heroes stood
back to regroup before mounting another offense.
Hajime, Momoko, Satsuki and the rest of the Chosen Children and their partner Digimons arrived, and joined Leo and Ellen Yin in
watching the Batman fighting off the huge attacker. Leo and Ellen wondered where Barbara went, seeing that she wasn't around. Ellen
sighed, realizing that she changed to her Batgirl costume. The Chosen Children saw several bodies of adults and children, all scatters and
bloodied. They then saw the Get Backers, Yumiko and the Batman fighting off Grundy. They realized that they have to stop the huge
attacker before more lives are lost. They then told their Digimons to step in and help Batman and the others. The Digimons obliged and
started to evolve.

The first batch of the champion-form Digimons lunged torwards Grundy, but surprisingly, Grundy's powerful punch sent Greymon,
Togemon, Ikkakumon and Garurumon down for the count, and the 4 Digimons reverted to their normal forms, unconscious.
Kabuterimon and Garudamon decided to stay airborne while planning on how to avoid his deadly punches. X V-Mon then grappled
Grundy from behind, applied a Full Nelson Lock (for WWE purists, it's called the Masterlock), holding Grundy in place. "Quickly, now
is your chance. Take him while I hold him down!" X V-Mon cried. Angemon and Angewomon used their weapons to take down
Grundy. Grundy roared in pain and attempted to break free. Yumiko used a paper and formed a huge missile, and struck Grundy. But
this only further enraged Grundy, and broke free from X V-Mon, grabbed him and hurled him towards Yumiko and the Get Backers,
knocking them out. As X V-Mon checked on the fallen fighters, Grundy punched him on his gut, and hurled him against a wall, causing X
V-Mon to revert to his normal form and was rendered unconscious. Stingmon used his threads to tie Grundy up, enabling Garudamon,
Kabuterimon, Aquilamon, Ankylomon and Angewomon to mount an attack. With Grundy tied up, the remaining Digimons ganged up on
Grundy, while the Batman carried the three unconscious persons to safety. It was then that the Batgirl arrived, and used tear gas to
temporarily blind Grundy, and enabled the Digimons to further attack the huge titan. But after three minutes, Grundy recovered, and
plowed Garudamon and Kabuterimon.
At this point, the Nightwalker, Shido Tatsuhiko came and saw the commotion. He felt that something wasn't right. Looking at the sky, he
noticed that clouds were blocking the sun, and that the surroundings were very dark. Looking at his watch, it was already 12:30 pm. He
then saw Kabuterimon and Garudamon were knocked out, and reverted to their normal forms. Then he glanced at Grundy, and noticed
that his eyes were black, with no irises. Hajime and Leo also noticed Grundy's eyes, and began to wonder where they saw someone with
black eyes. They seem to recall it, but were trying to figure out where it all fits. Meanwhile, Ellen Yin approached Shido, and asked
what's wrong. Shido then told Ellen his suspicions. He then called Angewomon, and asked her to look at the clouds carefully. In doing
so, she noticed a vaguely looking beam that was aiming at the clouds which caused the clouds to turn black and blocked the sun. Shido
then instructed Angewomon to find the beam's source, and destroy it, so that the sun would be restored. In the meantime, Shido, and the
Batman Joined Batgirl and the remaining Digimons in stalling Grundy. Meanwhile, Leo started to get suspicious. Upon seeing Shido, he
wondered if Grundy is either a ghost or a demon. Then he glanced at Grundy. He recalled the his research on the internet about zombies
having white skin and seemingly impervious to pain. Hajime however, wondered about something upon seeing Shido. Getting an idea, he
asked Ellen to call Arkham Assylum to check if Clayface was still incarcerated. Ellen looked suspicious, but nevertheless did call
Arkham.
Angewomon, along with Aquilamon, Hikari and Miyako, were flying above the clouds, following the trail of beam that was aiming at the
dark clouds. Five minutes later, they found the source, which was in an observatory. Miyako realized that they were in Yokohama. Once
inside, they saw some scientists were manning the controls. As Miyako told the scientists about what's going on, the scientists skin turned
black and fangs formed, and are approaching Miyako and Hikari. But Aquilamon took them out, and soon black, vampire-like entities
came out from the scientists bodies. Angewomon used her Holy Arrows on the entities, and the entities dissipated from the arrows' light.
Miyako then turned off the controls. A minute has passed, the sun slowly began to shone in parts of the school's district. Ellen Yin
received a call from Arkham Asylum, confirming that Clayface has indeed escaped. Leo heard it too, and then the two heard a cell phone
call from Taichi, hearing Hikari's voice, who told Taichi about some black, shadow-like entities possessing the dead bodies of the
scientist inside the Yokohama observatory. Hajime heard it too, and his voice raised in disbelief. "Oh, Shit! Nightbreeds!" Hajime then
went to the scene of the battle, and shouted at The Batman, Shido and the remaining Digimons. "Batman, Shido! I believed that this
Solomon Grundy is a Nightbreed! Look at his eyes! They're black with no eyeballs!". Batman, Shido, Stingmon, Angemon, and
Ankylomon stared at Grundy's eyes, and realized that Grundy's eyes were black with no visible irises. Surprisingly, Grundy heard this
and went straight for Hajime, seemingly angered at Hajime spilling the beans. Hajime then shielded Momoko, telling her to run, but
Momoko defied, saying that she won't leave him. At this point, the dark clouds that were blocking the sun were gone, and the sun's rays
hit Grundy's body, and smoke came out, as it was burning the body. Soon shadow-like entities came out of Grundy's body. It was then
that the Batman and Shido realized that hajime was right. It was a group of Nightbreeds who were behind this. Shido gritted his teeth,
realizing that his nemesis, Cain, was orchestrating another psychological attacks by attacking innocent people. Ellen Yin then shouted at
the Batman, saying that Clayface has escaped, and that maybe Solomon Grundy is Clayface in disguise. Batman, suspicious of Yin's
claims, nevertheless gave her word a benefit of a doubt. He than hurled an ice grenade at Grundy's legs, freezing him. It was then that
Grundy abandoned his form and reverted back to Clayface. Shido and the Batman were surprised, seeing that Clayface has fooled them
into thinking that Solomon Grundy was risen from the dead due to his zombie-like appearance. Meanwhile, Angemon, through Takeru's
urging evolved to the next stage.
---Start Digimon Evolve Sequence ---
Angemon digivolve…to Holy Angemon!
---End Digimon Evolve Sequence ---
Angemon evolved to Holy Angemon and used his holy light to burn the Nightbreeds until they dissolved into nothing. Batman then used
another ice grenade to put Clayface into ice. And that was that. The terror inside Seirin High was over. But in it's wake left over 300
victims. 150 dead, and 150 injured. Commissioners Atermio Yamagata and James Gordon arrived at the scene, and Yin told Gordon
that Barbara was safe. Shido then asked Angemon to take him to Yokohama observatory, and the two, along with Takeru, went there.
The three, along with Miyako, Hikari, and their partner Digimons looked for clues that would lead to clues to Cain's whereabouts, but
found nothing.
Back at Seirin High, Hajime and the gang told Taichi and the others about the Nightbreeds and Cain, as well as about Clayface. Gordon
and Batman were talking behind the silhouette of the school building. Gordon said that he'll investigate on how and/or who let Clayface
escaped, while Batman said that he'll look into the Nightbreed incident. Barbara, back to her civilian guise, was greeted by Leo and her
dad. She made it appeared that she was watching the fight from afar. By 2 pm, police declared that Seirin High was "under control".
Batman and Ellen Yin looked knowingly at each other, and decided to help Shido in taking down Cain once and for all.
To Be Continued…
Looks like you've seen this scenario before. If you read my past fic, The Boogeyman, then you'll get my drift. If not, read that fic. That
way you'll know.
So Cain is back, and after vowing to stop his Nightbreed attack on innocent children sleeping at night, he found a loophole in his promise
and instead used the Seirin High students as his targets just get Shido's attention. But he'll be in a tight spot now that the Digimons and
their human partners are after his trail. But it seems that Cain has a back-up plan, since now that Clayface is apprehended, he'll be
enlisting some other help in fending off the Batman and the Ghosts at School gang. What will that be? Check it out next chapter. Why?
'Coz after the Nightbreed did their part, another dark force will enter the fray. You'll see who they are in a few days or so. Until then, be
good.
