Batman Begins: Enter Seto Kaiba

Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh or Batman!

County Jail-The next day

Walking down the stairway to Falcone's cell, Dr. Bakura, is planning to "experiment" with him.

A prison official greets the white-haired doctor, "Dr. Bakura, thanks for coming."

"Not at all. He cut his wrists?"

"Falcone's probably looking for the insanity plea, but if anything should happen..."

"Of course, better safe than sorry."

The prison official unlocks the cell door for the Arkham Doctor to "visit" Falcone.

Seeing who's coming in, Falcone, sarcastically says, "Yeah, Dr. Bakura, I can't take it anymore. It's all too much. The walls are closing in... blah, blah, blah. A couple days of this food and it'll be true."

Bakura sits down on the chair.

"What do you want?"

"I wanna know how you're gonna convince me to keep my mouth shut."

"About what? You don't know anything."

"I know that you don't want the cops to take a closer look at the drugs they seized. And I know about your 'experiments' with the inmates of your nuthouse. You see, I don't get into business with a guy without finding out his dirty secrets. And those goons you used, I own the muscle in this town. Now, I've been bringing your stuff in for months, so whatever he's planning, it's big, and I want in."

"Well, I already know what he'll say. That we should kill you."

"Ha! Even he can't get me in here, not in my town."

Taking off his glasses, Bakura gets a little pissed. He opens the locks of his briefcase and takes out a burlap sack mask.

"Would you like to see my mask, Falcone? I use it in my experiments. Now, I'm probably not very frightening to a guy like you. But these crazies... they can't stand it."

Bakura places the mask on...

"So when did the nut take over the nuthouse?"

Pressing a button in the briefcase, a puff of white smoke shoots at Falcone who's now coughing and shocked.

PFFSSSTT!

"They scream and they cry..."

Falcone, now screaming in fear, looks and sees... a demonic scarecrow. Everything around Gozaburo are now distorted, away from his control. He's now about to be permanently incarcerated in Arkham.

"... AS MUCH AS YOU'RE DOING NOW!"

"Aaaaaaaagggggghhhhhh!"

Outside of Falcone's cell-Moments later

Bakura comes out of the room, almost immediately after Gozaburo's screaming. His cries and screams can be heard, echoing.

"Well, he's not faking, not that one. I'll talk with Judge Mako and see if I can get him moved to a secure wing at Arkham, as you can see I can't treat him here."

The prison official, now curious looks into Falcone's cell, and sees a horrific sight.

Domino-Evening

Ontop of one building, stands a dark figure. His cape billowing in the wind, about to rain heavily. A storm's coming soon.

Yugi Mutou's apartment-Evening

Rebecca, Mutou's wife, tries to feed their baby, but fails to do so. Yugi then kisses his wife, and starts to take out the trash. Moments later after he's putting the trash lid ontop...

"A storm's coming," says a course voice nearby.

Startled, Yugi, looks around and sees Batman perched ontop a fire escape nearby. Seeing who he is, he closes the door behind him.

"The criminal scum is getting jumpy 'cause you stood up to Falcone."

"It's a start. Your partner was at the docks with Falcone."

"Well, he moonlights as a low-level enforcer."

"They were splitting the shipment in two. Only half went to the dealers."

"Why? What about the other half?"

"Trudge knows."

"He won't talk."

"He'll talk to me."

"Commissioner Sheppard set up a massive task force to catch you. He thinks you're dangerous."

"What do you think?"

"I think you're trying to help..."

Mutou looks up and sees that Batman's gone.

"...but I've been wrong before."

Domino: Falafel stand-Flass

The vendor places the materials to make the falafel, while the fat cop says...

"Come on, I ain't got all night..."

Trudge, being the corrupt cop he is, he takes some dollars from the vendor. As he walks away with the falafel and the money...

"Trudge, I have kids to feed."

"What, they don't like falafel?"

Dark alley

The corrupt cop starts to walk in a dark alley. But before he could finish his food... all of a sudden, he's yanked from the pavement! Being pulled up, stories and stories of buildings, he's now screaming, and moments later he's upside down, now face to face with the Batman. Holding onto his ankle, the Dark Knight screams...

"WHERE WERE THE OTHER DRUGS GOING?"

Whimpering in fear, Trudge replies weakly, "I never knew. I don't know... I swear to God."

"SWEAR TO ME!"

Angered, Batman drops Flass down about 3 or 4 stories down and pulls him back up.

"AAAAHHHHHH! AAAAAHHHHHH!"

"I don't- I don't know. I never knew. Never. They- They went to some guy for a couple days before they went to the dealers."

"WHY?"

"There was something- Something else in the drugs... something hidden."

"WHAT?"

"I never went to the drop-off point. It was in the Narrows. Cops only go there when they're enforced."

"DO I LOOK LIKE A COP?"

"No-!"

He drops Trudge downwards, who's now screaming, to the ground. As it looks like Trudge is about be seriously injured from the fall... the grapple line stops abruptly.

"AAAAHHHHHH! Aaawwwgghhh..."

Domino Docks--Evening

Three men walk down the long corriders of the shipping crates, which one of them is Tristan Taylor, Téa's boss and friend.

He notices 1 crate that has 1 more extra thing inside.

"This is the one I'm talking about."

One of the two men checks it on their list.

"What's your problem with it, Mr. Taylor?" asks a employee of the docks.

"This shouldn't exit. This ship left Singapore with 246 containers, but arrived with 247. So, I'm guessing there's something I'm not supposed to find in there."

"Listen, Mr. Taylor, we don't want to know what's in Mr. Falcone's crate."

"Things are working a little differently now, so open it up."

One of the dock workers open the crate, so that Tristan can look around. Using a flashlight to see the 'extra' shipment, he finds a large device in a box with the KC logo, which is Kaiba Corp.

"What the hell is this?"

Before he could turn around, 1 of the dock employees knocks him down and the other shoots him with a silenced gun.

PEERCHT-PEERCHT!

The Narrows-Evening-Raining

We see Batman, hiding in the shadows of the rainy, dark night. The Narrows, a crumbling part of Domino, the worst parts of all of Japan, probably, is now busy as usual. Civilians walk, a moped rider rides away...

On the side of one building, Batman, using an optic cable, is searching for 'rabbits.' Moments later, a young boy about 12, Leon Wilson/Schroider (from the Kaiba Corp Grand Championship season), comes out of a window and just wanders around and sees Batman.

"It's you, isn't it? Everybody's been talking about you."

"Get in here, Leon!" shouts a man with some German accent (not his older brother, who he reunites later; his adoptive father).

"The other kids won't believe me."

Taking out a gadjet out of his utility belt, Batman hands it to the kid. Continuously, the shadow climbs higher along of the building. When inside an abandoned apartment, full of stuffed rabbits, he takes a closer look, but he hears a noise. Quickly, Kaiba disappears into the shadows.

Three men appear, one of which is Dr. Bakura, who's leading his thugs to burn the evidence.

"Get rid of all traces."

"Better torch the whole place, Bakura."

"All right," replies the other.

Bakura notices dripping rain from an open window and takes a closer look.

Meanwhile, his thugs are pouring kerosene all over the floor to prepare the torch the place. One of the thugs goes to a nearby bathroom and starts urinating on a toliet.

But unknown to him, a dark figure is hiding behind him and as he looks towards a mirror... CRACK! The man is instantly knocked out. Both Bakura and the 2nd thug hear the sound nearby. In reaction, Bakura starts to walk away... while his goon tries to find out what has happened.

Not being able to see in the dark, the second thug clicks his lighter. From out of the shadows, Batman rips it from the guy's hand and drops the thug with a quick, but powerful elbow strike onto the floor. Batman turns to Bakura, who's now wearing his 'scarecrow' mask. Quickly, he tries to wave the small puff of white smoke from Bakura. But now, he starts to see hallucinations.

"Aw, having trouble, Batman?"

Kaiba, now hallucinating, sees Bakura's mouth, with a bat popping out. Now losing balance and coordination, Kaiba falls on the side of a table, and struggles to stand up.

"Take a seat."

Bakura smashes a bottle of gasoline over Batman, thus spreading 'fire fuel' all over his costume.

"Have a drink."

Batman, still hallucinating is suffering from his visions of his fear and his parents' murder. Reeling in the drug's effects, he swings his arms around, trying to evade nonexisting foes.

"You look like a man who takes himself too seriously."

Bakura watches in silent delight of the Batman suffering. He takes out a lighter.

"Do you want my opinion? You need to lighten up."

He throws the lighter on Batman, who's now covered in flames. Even though his Nomex fabric, Kevlar biweave armor protects him, he leaps desperately at the windows. Smashing through, still covered in flames though, the drugged hero drops to the ground. He falls hard ontop of a car.

"Huuaaargghhh!"

He rolls over the wet, damp pavements of the ground to stop the flames covering him. Groaning, he sees nearby civilians looking at him with strange looks on their faces. Getting back up, he struggles to an alley and takes out his grapple gun and aims it at a roof. Scaling higher and higher, he manages to reach for a roof and in great pain as well. Fumbling with his belt, he grabs a LCD and calls Arthur.

"Arthur, help me."

As he finishes the call, he suffers vivid images: his father and mother murdered in front of his eyes, more bats swarming around him.

Rolls-later

Arthur drives the car and looks through the rear view mirror and sees his old friend suffering from hallucinations.

"Blood. Take. Take poison. Blood poison. Poisonous. Poisonous."

"Seto... why do we fall?" (His dream/nightmare now)
