St. Valentine's Massacre
The Ghosts at School gang, the Digimon cast, the Batman, Red Tornado, and Shido Tatsuhiko are now assembled outside Cain's
fortress. And are now planning to make a surprise attack to catch Cain and his allies off guard and take them down.
This will be the "final battle" between the good and the bad guys in this chapter, as St. Valentine's Massacre will come to a close.
Confrontation
Batman glanced at his allies. He could tell that some will have to come with him and Shido and some will have to stay in case they are
needed as a "contingency plan". He advised Agumon and the first batch Digimons to wait outside with Red Tornado, while he, Shido,
Daisuke and Ken, along with V-Mon and Wormmon, enter the front door. Batman also told the Ghosts at School gang to stay behind as
well. Miyako and Hikari also stayed behind along with Hawkmon and Tailmon to protect the Ghost at School gang in case the fighting
spills outside the hideout.
After five minutes, Batman and Shido entered Cain's lair through the front door, while Daisuke and Ken went through the back door.
After entering the back door, Daisuke and Ken saw the second Digimon Emperor coming out of the bathroom. Daisuke used a
submission wrestling move, a sleeper hold, to knock him out without alerting the others. They then sneaked their way in, and soon saw
Cain and the other villains, the Joker, the Penguin, The Riddler, Mr. Freeze, the Scarecrow, and a host of Nightbreeds, gathering around
a huge, round table. They heard them talking about their next step in taking out their enemies, as well as they learned that the fear gas was
neutralized, but Joker proclaimed he has a "contingency plan" of his own, and assured to them that this will divide their enemies.
At this point, Batman and Shido barged through the front door, causing the Scarecrow and the Penguin to stood up in surprise. Cain,
however clapped his hands as a sign of congratulation, and greeted them sarcastically. "Well, done, detectives. Well done. I must say that
I'm impressed. You managed to find our little hiding place. And I must say I'm pleased to meet you again. You two haven't changed
much since the last time we met (see The Boogeyman).". Batman gritted his teeth. "It's Shido you want, right? So why go all the way to
kill so many people just to get his attention?". Cain smiled and said, "That's one of my affectionate ways of summoning him. My life isn't
the same without my Shido…". But Cain was cut off by a punch from Shido. Two Nightbreeds lunged forward, only to be sliced by
Shido's blood sword. Mr. Freeze created an ice wall using his ice powers, blocking Batman and Shido. But V-Mon, who evolved to
Flamdramon, used his fire powers to plow their way in. But the Joker raised his hands, holding a book, and chanted some words. A huge
circle appeared and several ghosts and demons emerged from the circle. Worrmon, who evolved to Stingmon, used his silk threads to
hold them off, while Ken called Miyako and the others to go inside and help them stop the emerging spirits. Cain and the villains took the
opportunity to escape as the heroes are distracted. Outside, Amanojako sensed an influx of ghosts coming from the hideout. Hawkmon,
Tailmon and Patamon evolved to their champion forms and went inside. The rest of the first batch Digimons, and the Ghosts at School
gang also followed. As soon as they entered, they were surprised at the sight they were seeing Red Tornado, Shido, Batman, Ken,
Daisuke, Stingmon and Flamdramon were fighting against as combined forces of the Nightbreeds and a host of emerging ghosts and
demons. Agumon and the others joined the fight, while Ken told Hajime, Satsuki and Momoko to go after the Joker and the others,
saying that he has a book that would summon ghosts at any given time. The three Ghost at School gang members nodded and left the
building, leaving the others and went after the fleeing bad guys. Amanojako used his senses to trace the book's energy.
Five minutes later, Angemon summoned his secret weapon, the Heaven's Gate, and had the remaining ghosts, demons, and
Nightbreeds banished. They then followed Satsuki and the others, and after five minutes, the heroes are reunited and managed to catch
up with the villains. More Nightbreeds appeared on Cain's behalf, and assaulted the heroes as Joker was about to chant the spell that
would summon the strongest ghosts from the Makai world. Batman used his Baterang on Joker, causing him to drop the book. Joker
didn't had the time to retrieve it, as Mr. Freeze made an ice barricade. It was thick enough to hold off their pursuers. They then escaped
through the sewers, and again Mr. Freeze used his powers to block the sewers' entrance so they won't be followed. "Heaven's Gate!"
Angemon shouted, and a huge portal appeared, and the Nightbreeds, along with the book were banished, never to be seen again.
Batman then surveyed the area, and realized that Cain and some of Gotham City's most dangerous criminals, along with several
Nightbreeds, gave them a head start. Batman and Shido decided to take a break for now and escorted the teenagers to their homes and
families, then left. Batman and Shido then decided to combine their resources in finding their enemies at the soonest possible time before
they get the chance to regroup and hatch more horrible plots.
To Be Concluded…
The next chapter will be the epilogue of this fic, as the Ghosts at School gang returned to their normal lives, and the same goes for the
Digimon cast.
Meanwhile, the continuation of the manhunt on Cain and the Batman villains will commence on the Nightwalker entry. The fanfic title will
be called "Knight Quest". And no, it's not about Jean Paul Valley being the 2nd Batman.
