Chapter 1 Start of the Long Holiday
Uzumaki Manor
At the manor outside of Gotham City, we see the pride manor that stands quiet at night and it's Halloween. A young man comes walking out who had red-brown hair and brown eyes, sighting as no one has come walking to the manor for some candy, wearing a grey collar shirt, blue jeans, and s It same as last year sadly. This was Harry Osborn, once a prince of New York City and future CEO of Oscorp before moving to Gotham to help his best friend and start a new leaf.
Harry comes back in and closed the main doors before seeing his best friend coming downstairs.
"Oh Naruto, Happy Halloween," Harry greeted.
"You too, Harry. Any coffee?" Naruto asked who was a young man with blonde hair that was the sun itself and ocean blue eyes. He wore a black shirt, grey pants, and shoes.
"In the studies," Harry replied.
"Thanks," Naruto said as he and his friend walk to the studies for some coffee.
"Oh before I forget, a Miss Kyle called. She was making sure the number you gave her was real," Harry said with a smirk, having an idea that Naruto might be smitten by that woman.
Naruto rolled his eyes on that, trying to tease and drink some coffee before noticing something this year.
"Gate is open but it doesn't matter. Uzumaki Manor hasn't had a holiday person over in years," Naruto noted which was true, no one has come over, not since the death of the original owner of the manor and the blonde's mother, Kushina Uzumaki.
After his father died due to trying to escape on an airplane to another country, plane crash, Kushina had taken her son to live with her at their family of state in Gotham which their family helps build Gotham to where it is today and owned Whirpool Inc, a top company that rivals many others but uses calm means to help others rather than making weapons, none of that.
Kushina later took her son and family members to see a movie, the Grey Ghost that became the inspiration for Naruto to have in his childhood but tragedy came in the most, unlike manner for the young boy.
Kushina and cousins were gunned down in Crime Alley, leaving Naruto and Tayuya orphans. Tayuya would be taken in by the Kane Family while Naruto was taken in by his parents' good friend to the point of making him the blonde godfather and someone who was very older than he looks, Logan Howlett.
Naruto vow and promises on that day to avenger his mother and bring justice to crime & corruption in Gotham.
Logan didn't want a child soldier, seeing enough of that but saw promise in the blonde and made his own promise to Kushina, that he will train her son to become a good person and not get himself kill in the field.
Logan would train Naruto, thanks to his years of being a soldier and later good some old friends to help the blonde. The blonde has trained the ways of a solider and weapons by Logan, boxing by Ted aka Wild Cat that was a good friend to Logan, escape arts and tricks by Zatarra who the blonde meet a certain witch as well, and different means of assassination by a certain group that Logan was able to get a hold off. Naruto also learned the art of crime-solving and criminal mind during his time in high school and a few other people too.
Now Naruto was using everything he knows into action.
Harry snapped his fingers to get his friend's attention and out of his thoughts.
"Thinking huh?" Harry guessed.
"Yeah, deep thought tonight. A lot of things have happened this year and almost officially two years of doing this," Naruto said, remembering the first day he took up the cowl, wings, talons, and webs for his patrol.
"Indeed," Harry said while remembering on the first official day that Naruto found happiness but his first and now formal crush had run away with her father. Yeah, that was a shame but he has been supportive of his friend taking his war on crime and always keeps on being a good friend, almost like a brother to him.
"But away, almost time for another patrol. And this holiday is crazy," Naruto joked.
"Oh yes. Dressing up and striking fear is crazy indeed," Harry added with his own joke which caused the two friends to laugh a little on that.
Naruto stopped when a spider was in his hand, giving him information, and smiled as tonight had a case for him. This was thanks to his father, who someone gifted him with powers akin to that of a spider and bat, hybrid and caused inspiration for his suit designs too. People are scare of bats and spiders, now his enemies will share that fear.
Time to suit up.
AN: Now for the trailer for the first arc.
In a warehouse, we see the Arachknight, the new hero in Gotham who noted to be known as the Dark Knight, talking to his best friend in & outside of his suit, Harvey Dent who would become the next DA and White Knight of Gotham. However, Harvey was having a problem as the warehouse had a lot of money that he gained, and doesn't know what to do next.
"I can't be a lawyer and criminal, can I?" Harvey asked his friend.
"I really want to win, take back our city, Naruto. But do, I, we want to win like this?" Harvey asked, unsure what to do.
Arachknight or Naruto stay quiet, not sure what to do, to be honest.
"I am of two minds here," Harvey said.
"A coin flip. Heads we lock the warehouse down and never open back up. Tails we burn the money. But we use my coin," Naruto said, throwing his friend a untick coin.
"Sure, Naruto," Harvey agreed before flipping the coin that will change a lot of things.
The next scene showed an unknown man loading up his pistol that was used in a crime, the murder of Johnny Vedi which Captain Gordon told Arachknight and Harvey about.
"Johnny Vedi was murdered tonight in his own home," Jim said, holding up the weapon that was used.
"Falcone Crime Family have ties to other crime boss either business partners or rivals. And someone named the Kingpin is taking big actions in Gotham. They have to be taken down," Arachknight informed as the scenes showed Falcone Family and few crime bosses aiming to take down the Kingpin to gain control over Gotham.
Naughty, a scene showed a madman wearing clown and goblin outfitting laughing as he kills his victims in a gruesome and humorous manner.
Or Nice, the next scene showed a few crime scenes that have a joker card left behind and Acachknight holding one with his eyes narrowed.
"There's only room for one homicidal maniac in this town," The Grinning Goblin said to the head of the Falcone Family before taking out a jack o'lantern for his own treat to share. The scene ends with the mad man laughing and opens to the next scene.
TRICK, a scene showed the shadow of a cat running for someone.
Or TREAT, the next showed the thief on top of a large amount of money with a happy smirk of enjoyment from the chase she had and the fun with it.
The next scene showed Arachknight chasing the cat bulgar known as Night Cat on the rooftops before landing on the next one.
"Why are you running?" Arachknight asked.
"You could use the little fun," Night Cat replied with a sexually and gentle tone in her voice, smirking and enjoying the chase between them.
HERO, Another scene showed Harvey, rising in his campaign while another scene showed Arachknight taking dome some gangs and holding one up in his right hand.
"I thought you didn't hurt people!" The gang member shouted.
Or VILLAIN, the next showed Harvey with a box of matches and ended with Arachknight taking the thug down.
"You thought wrong," Arachknight darkly replied as he beats the thug into the ground.
The next scenes showed Naruto and his best friend Harry looking into the main computer of the possible people who could have done these killings, like Johnny Vadi and many others, trying to link them up, somehow but with no luck. Others showing Arachknight either questioning people or fighting mobsters as he searches for answers while doing his hardest to take back his city from crime & corruption but at what cost?
"Who is the Holyday Killer?" Jim asked.
"And who's next?" Arachknight asked, for himself and Jim to figure out as this will be the Long Halloween Night indeed.
