The Human Village...
Later that night, Dracula, Mavis, Johnny, Brett, Kent, Melly, Alfred, Frank, Eunice, Murray, Hank, Wendy and Pedro were riding at the hearse heading their way to the human village. After their short journey, they all exited the hearse to explore the human village. Johnny secretly brought his suitcase underneath his sit inside the hearse in case if Batman was ever needed.
"Holy Rabies! This is going to so much fun!" Mavis squealed in excitement like a little child.
"Whoa settle down, hon. There's always time to check the place around here." Johnny chuckled at Mavis' excitement like he was a parent.
"It's so nice to get out of the hotel every once in awhile." Wendy said breathing through the fresh air and exhaling it.
"So where do we go first?" Kent asked while looking around at the village.
"I don't know yet but I suggest we walk around the town. Maybe we'll find something fun to do." Johnny said as he held Mavis' arms.
While walking around the village, the humans widened their eyes in shock to see Dracula, Frankenstein, and the Mummy in real life. They recognized them from the Monster Festival when they were finding Johnny several months ago.
"Hey look, it's Count Dracula!" "Whoa it's the Mummy!" "We love you, Frankenstein!" All the humans gasped starstruck and came up to the monsters like they were celebrities. Shaking hands, making them sign their personal items, and taking pictures with them.
The only ones who weren't getting much attention were Johnny, Mavis, Hank, Pedro, Wendy, Eunice, Brett, Kent, Melly, and Alfred. They just watched Dracula, Frank, and Murray handling their fans.
"Oh boy, here we go again." Dracula sighed in annoyance while Frank and Murray enjoyed the humans' love for them as their adoring fans.
"Yes, hi there. Good to see you, too. How are you?" Dracula said giving an uncomfortable smile and laugh trying to escape the human crowd. Meanwhile, Frank and Murray were treating their fans really well.
"Is it okay if we take a picture with you guys?" A human girl asked Frank with her friends.
"Yeah sure." Frank said in a friendly way.
"Any fan of the Mummy is no problemo!" Murray said winking at the girls.
The human girls went closer to Frank and Murray to take their picture while Frank took off his head as a selfie action.
After the human girls got the chance to take their pictures, Frank suddenly saw his wife, Eunice, glaring and crossing her arms at him after watching his interaction with those girls. Hank simply got an 'Uh oh' on his face.
"So what was that about, huh?" Eunice snapped at Frank a little jealous.
"Aww, come on, honey. Don't be mad. I was just trying to be nice to the humans. They love monsters now." Frank explained laughing nervously while Eunice just lets it go on her thoughts and forgives him.
"Sounds like you've made some adoring fans, dad." Mavis said to Dracula as she and Johnny chuckled after watching Dracula struggled with his human fans.
"Yes, I probably did." Dracula said tiredly "It just happens when me and your uncles came to this village for the first time. Turns out they held a Monster Festival every once in a while." Dracula said referring to the time when he and the Drac Pack tried to bring back Johnny.
"When did you guy go to the village?" Mavis asked.
"I think you already, Mavy." Johnny whispered while giving a weak smile at Mavis.
"Oh. Ok I get it now." It only took Mavis a few of seconds to figure out what her fiancé was talking about and was saddened for awhile. Johnny just held her hand and kiss her cheek to make her feel comfortable. They were also worried about the hearing with the Vampire Council next week at the hotel.
They stumbled across a local restaurant and reserved a big table for the whole family to dinner. Everyone in the restaurant were astonished to see the monsters with them tonight but respected them peacefully like ordinary people. This was the first that the monsters would get the chance to eat human foods, except for Mavis, she tried some human foods with Johnny back at Hawaii and loved it. At first, Dracula, Frank, Eunice, Murray, Hank, Pedro, and Wendy were skeptical about the thought that eating human food wouldn't be safe but Johnny, Mavis, Brett, Kent, Melly, and Alfred convinced them it's just the same as eating their ordinary monster foods. After their orders were served, the monsters really enjoyed the human food inside their mouths. After they finished their meals, Johnny, Brett, Kent, and Melly paid the bill but the restaurant server kindly said that it's for free because of the famous Count Dracula and the rest of the monsters but they insisted on paying the bill at the end.
Everyone were separated into 3 groups to explore the village. Dracula was with Frank, Eunice, and Murray and the humans would sometimes come up to them for some pictures. Hank, Pedro, and Wendy explored the village just the 3 of them and they would also encounter some human fans. Mavis wanted to spend some time with Johnny and her future in-laws.
Melly noticed a small fancy clothing store near them and wanted to try it. She also wanted to bring Mavis with her for some 'girl time'.
"Mavis, you've gotta come with me. I think you'll love it here!" Melly squealed in excitement as she gently pulled Mavis' arms into to the store.
"Okay, but what is this place?" Mavis asked nervously.
"It's a clothing store, Mavis. You go there to buy the clothes or shoes you want. Nothing harmless." Brett explained which removed Mavis' nervousness away.
"Alright! That sounds like fun actually!" Mavis giggled as she entered the store with Melly.
"Oh great. Melly is in her shopping shenanigans and now she's taking Mavis with her." Johnny sarcastically said while Brett and Kent chuckled.
"At least the two of them are getting along." Alfred said smiling at Johnny.
"Yeah. At least they're having fun together." Johnny smiled looking back at Alfred.
Inside the store, Melly and Mavis tried some beautiful clothes and shoes that they loved for 5 minutes. Melly bought some clothes that she wanted while Johnny bought the clothes that Mavis wanted. Mavis thanked Johnny by simply giving him a big hug and a loving kiss that he always wanted.
After a couple of minutes, Johnny and Mavis explored the town just the two of them until they encountered Hank, Pedro, and Wendy holding an old newspaper.
"Hey guys, check this out!" Hank said showing the old newspaper to Mavis and Johnny. The headline of the newspaper was 'Bat-Vigilante Stops Chemical Plant Heist!' with a picture of Batman/Johnny's black silhouette.
"Where did you get this?" Johnny asked surprisingly as he gently grabbed the newspaper away from Hank's hands.
"I got that old newspaper for free! Nobody wanted it so I got it." Hank explained while Johnny and Mavis read the newspaper. It was the time when Batman/Johnny was stopping a group called 'The Red Hood Gang' from breaking in the chemical facility 3 months ago.
"Whoa. I didn't know that Bat-man has been doing this vigilante thing for awhile now." Mavis said in surprise after reading the paper.
"Oooh wee! Uncle Drac has been pretty busy. If you know what I mean." Pedro said chuckling raising an eyebrow.
"Pedro, would please stop with that stupid idea of yours! My father is not a vigilante!" Mavis exclaimed in annoyance at Pedro.
"Alright, I'll stop. But you have to admit though, this Bat guy is pretty cool." Pedro said amusingly.
"Yeah. He's really awesome!" Hank replied.
"Maybe we could be he's sidekicks someday!" Wendy exclaimed while both Hank and Pedro agreed.
Johnny really appreciated that they see Batman as a hero who's all about doing the right thing to protect the innocent lives of humans and monsters.
"Well whoever the Batman is, I'm sure everyone in Transylvania is very lucky to have him." Johnny smirked.
Meanwhile, Mavis and Johnny continued exploring the town just the two of them together while holding hands being a happy couple. Just then a group of boys approached the lovebirds and smirked at Mavis like she was a hot chick.
"Hey there, hot stuff." One of the boys said while blowing a wolf whistle at Mavis. This made Johnny scowled at them.
"Just ignore them, Mavy. They'll go away." Johnny assures Mavis keeping her closer to him.
"Hey, babe. Who's this red-headed loser you're with?" Another boy said pointing his finger at Johnny, who felt insulted.
"Alright, now they're just starting to piss me off." Johnny dangerously glared at the bullies while clenching his fist showing his Batman side.
"Hey, back off! Johnny's my fiancé and he's NOT a loser!" Mavis yelled defending his fiancé.
"Seriously? You're engaged with that idiot!? Maybe one of us can change your mind about that weirdo." The third boy said attempting to grab Mavis by her waist.
"What did you say?!" Johnny yelled out loud from what he just heard.
"Get your hands off me!" Mavis protested trying to push herself away from the boy's grasp.
"Mavis!" Johnny gasped seeing that her fiancée is getting harassed. "Get away from her!" Johnny quickly charged at the bully as he took his hand off from Mavis.
Johnny, still grabbing the boy's arm, kicked his leg making him kneel down while Johnny attempts to use his other hand to apply pressure on the bully's arm wanting to break it for insulting Mavis.
"Hey let go of me!" The boy shouted while Johnny applied pressure on his arm ready to break it. The boy released a few screams from the pain he was getting.
"If you even think of laying even a finger on my fiancée again, I'll make sure that you'll wake up in the emergency room with a BROKEN ARM!" Johnny warned the bully forgetting that he wasn't in his batsuit interrogating other criminals.
Mavis was terrified seeing Johnny's behavior. She has never seen him this so angry before. What Mavis just did is she covered her mouth wishing that her fiancé doesn't go too far.
"Hey, the red-head got some skills. Let's get him!" The bullies were about to charge at Johnny but then the price of darkness appeared right in from them in a blue mist.
"What do you think you're doing with my daughter and her fiancé!?" Dracula roared with his fang grew twice the size, his finger nails got longer, and his eyes turned evil red.
The bullies instantly recognized him as the REAL Count Dracula. The same Dracula who appeared at the monster festival several months ago with the Drac Pack.
"I'm sorry, sir! We didn't mean to..." One of the boys tried to explained cowardly but was cut off by Dracula.
"If you continue to harass my daughter or insult Johnny again, I will hunt you down and suck every ounce of blood from your body until you become a inflated woopee cushion! Got it!?" Dracula yelled while the boys just nodded nervously with their bodies shaking in fear. Dracula turned his head around to check on Mavis if she's alright but was shocked that Johnny was still holding the boy's arm. "Johnathan! That's enough! You're breaking his arm!" Johnny was pulled back to reality and instantly knew what he was doing.
"Oh no!" Johnny's eyes wined up that he was about to do something brutal right in front of Dracula and Mavis. He quickly released the bully without a broken arm and ran away with the rest of his friends.
"Are you okay, baby claws?" Dracula worriedly asked Mavis giving her a protective hug.
"Yeah. I'm fine, dad." Mavis assured hugging her father slightly shaken. "I thought the humans have changed now."
"I guess some humans never changed." Dracula said in disappointment still hugging Mavis. After breaking the hug, Dracula then came up to Johnny.
"You alright, Johnathan." Dracula asked sternly even though he was thankful for watching over Mavis.
"Yeah. I'm fine... I guess." Johnny sighed calming himself down.
Dracula, Mavis, and Johnny reunited with the others. After telling the others what happened earlier, everyone was shocked that a group of boys tried to harass Mavis and the moment when Johnny almost broke one of the bully's arm. Alfred strictly warned Johnny about controlling his anger in public, which Johnny agreed.
The Vampire-human family were surprised to see a small fun fair with the other humans screaming for fun and laughing. The fun fair had a Mary Go-round, a Ferris Wheel, a Roller Coaster, and tents to play some small games. It was Mavis, Hank, Pedro, and Wendy who were most excited to explore the place.
"Holy Rabies! This place is so awesome!" Mavis screamed in excitement.
"I didn't know there was a fun fair here!" Hank shouted with a big smile on his face.
"Let's try some of the rides!" Wendy exclaimed jumping around like a child.
"I don't know, Mavy. It doesn't look safe for me." Dracula said worriedly.
"Aww come on, dad. I'm sure it's nothing harmless." Mavis said.
Before they try some of the rides, they saw a group of human audience watching a performance on stage. The person on the stage didn't even bother showing himself. All they can see is his silhouette behind the shadows.
Dracula, Mavis, Johnny, and the others joined the audience to watch the performance as the song began to play. The tone of the music was a little bit disturbing for everyone but the performer began to sing the song.
Grinning down through the gates
Watch the night suffocate
All the light as it smothers the sun
I can tell by the moon
You'll be joining me soon
As a guest in my fortress of fun
And I can't wait to see you
And once again free you
Released from your humorless air
Someday I will replace
That big frown on your face
With a smile and a murderous glare
We are two of a kind
Violent, unsound of mind
You're the yin to my yang, can't you see?
And if I were to leave
You would grumble and grieve
Face it, Bats, you'd be lost without me
You'd be lost (You'd be lost)
You'd be lost (You'd be lost)
Face it, Bats, you'd be lost without me
"Okay, the song that dude is singing is totally creepy." Hank confessed a little uncomfortably.
"Tell me about it." Pedro said.
"Do you know that song, Johnny?" Mavis asked.
"No. I haven't heard this one before." Johnny said getting a little suspicious about the song.
I'm just trying to show you
Just how well I know you
I understand just how you feel
Threw your reason away
'Cause you had one bad day
And your mind let go of the wheel
Still we're fated to battle
You pout and I prattle
Don't you ever tire of this game?
But you'll not make it end
'Cause I'm your only friend
We are opposites but we're the same
We are two of a kind
Violent, unsound of mind
You're the yin to my yang, can't you see?
And if I were to leave
You would grumble and grieve
Face it, Bats, you'd be lost without me!
You'd be lost (You'd be lost)
You'd be lost (You'd be lost)
Face it, Bats, you'd be lost without me!
Having listening to the song enough, Alfred came up to Johnny about this mystery performer.
"I hope that's not what I think it is, Johnathan." Alfred said. Both Alfred and Johnny are getting suspicious about the performer.
"We can't be sure about that, Al. I'm going to take a closer look." Johnny said.
"Be careful." Alfred said worriedly. Johnny could now sense that something was bad about to happen. He went closer through the audience so that he could get a good look who this singer really is.
We have so many wonderful stories
I have studied the mind of this bat
A hero with no praise or glory
Just his cape and his cave and his...
Boo...
Just then, the singer came out from the shadows revealing his full body with his devilish smile.
"Oh no." Johnny gasped in horror confirming his worst nightmare. "EVERYONE OUT NOW!" Johnny shouted before the performer makes his move but it was too late.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA!!!!!
The performer revealed himself as The Joker and his goons came out from the stage and started shooting their guns up in the air panicking the audience.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA!!!!!
The Joker just laughed diabolically at the mic as he brought out his own gun and shooting it up in the air while audience screamed and running for their lives. The Joker just continued singing...
We are two of a kind
Violent, unsound of mind
You're the yin to my yang, can't you see?
And if I were to leave
You would grumble and grieve
Face it, Bats, you'd be lost without me
You'd be lost (You'd be lost)
You'd be lost (You'd be lost)
Face it, Bats, you'd be lost without me
"Everyone! Get inside the hearse immediately!" Dracula shouted in a hurry making sure that all of his friends and families are safe. Once they arrived at the hearse, Johnny grabbed his suitcase underneath his seat.
"Al, make sure none of them goes back there. I'll deal with the Joker." Johnny whispered to Alfred.
"Be careful, Johnny. Who knows what that maniac clown could do to those people?" Alfred nodded as he entered the hearse but still worried about Johnny.
While everyone wasn't minding Johnny, he took this opportunity to head his way on a nearby alleyway to change into his suit.
To be continued...
