YuGiOh in Batman Begins 2: Aftermath

Disclaimer: I don't own YuGiOh or Batman!

Well, well, looks like those of you who thought that I would make Duke the Joker, were wrong! Haha. Because of the fact that Arkana is the crazed clown, Duke will have to play as another familiar face in the rogues' gallery.

Domino Police Headquarters:Outside---"The Burst Stream"

Gliding downwards to where his "other" car is parked, he drops down quickly inside the cockpit hatches. Once inside, Kaiba instantly activates the vehicle's computers to check for any disturbances that involves double homicide. Not finding one tonight, he retreats back to the cave. As he is heading towards the city's bridge, he notices that the Domino Opera House is near him at night. He immediately turns to that building to pay tribute to his parents' death. Before he could reach that dark alley, Batman starts to hear something inside the building next to him.

Domino Opera House:Minutes later

To see what was making that sound, he runs inside the darkened building. Closing in on the audience doors, the sound stops. Batman, who's now abit curious, sees that some scarred man is ontop of the stage, laughing maniacally and attempts to burn the entire room.

Could it be Arkana?

Opening the doors quickly to stop the stranger from causing harm to the building, the hero walks towards the stage. But it's too late, the strange man is already gone, and the fire he set is burning the stage quite quickly. Unknown to Kaiba, the same man who just commited arson, is stalking behind him. As he's about to perform a punch onto the dark figure, he's grabbed instantly by the shadow.

Agghhhhh, let me go...BATMAN!

Who are you?

Why, can't you tell, I'm the world famous magician, Arkana!

But why are burning down the stage!

Because, Batman, that same stage is what burned my skin, and caused my dear love, Catherine, to leave me behind!

Maybe I can help you.

No! No one can help me...now. You're just trying to make me a freak that you try to save, aren't you!

No, I just want to help you, Arkana.

Well, it's too late for that now!

Suddenly, the lunatic magician, Arkana had just spilled acid onto the armored body suit. Without having to react to this, Batman tries to get ahold of Arkana, but fails. Feeling the pain of the corrosive liquid burning through the armor, he rushes at the doors. He sees that Arkana has escaped already during the confusion.

Damn...he's gone.

Domino Opera House:Outside---2 Minutes later

Running out of the building, Batman falls down on the pavements of the road. His costume, partially eaten up by the small batch of acid, is torn alittle. Taking out his remote, he calls the Batmobile to pick him up.

Batmobile: Inside

Well, looks like this "joker" was nothing more than someone wanting revenge upon the city. I guess, I'll have to be more careful next time.

As the "black tank" zooms towards the cave, its driver, callsArthur through his transmitter inside the cowl.

Arthur?

Yes, Master Kaiba?

Call Roland.

Has something come up?

Yeah, tell him that my "other" suit has been burned and that I might need some improvements with it.

Very good, sir.

Cave: 5 Minutes Later---(Despite the car's size, I've heard it can go back to the cave from the city in less than 5 min.)

The large, black vehicle "jumps" through the large waterfall and inside the damp, dark cavern that it covers for. As the cockpit hatches open up, "he" emerges from the inside.

I've contacted Roland, sir. He said that he'll arrive shortly.

Good.

Now, sir, who or what was the problem?

Arthur then notices some acid marks and tears on the armor.

Nevermind, sir.

Seto merely grins alittle bit.

Kaiba Penthouse:Near the Kaiba Mansion---connected to the cave grounds

As the new bookshelf opens up, the 2 men walk opposite the cave's elevator and inside to where the study room is.

Where's Téa, Arthur?

Ah, she did tell me that she's still in Domino, sir.

Oh.

I've prepared your supper, but I'm afraid that it's alittle cold from your nightly activities.

It's okay, Arthur.

Kaiba Penthouse:Entrance---Roland enters

The old friend of the late Thomas Kaiba enters the doorways, which was opened by Arthur.

So, Arthur, how's he doing?

Fine, Roland. Right this way.

They both enter the study where Seto has been waiting in.

So what seems to be the problem, Seto?

Ah, nothing, just some burns with the "suit".

First you told me you were gonna use it for spelunking, and now this is what happens when it's being used for something else?

So, can you make some improvements?

I'll see what I can do. It might take a couple of days, so try to take a break from your..."hobby".

I told you, what I'm doing isn't about thrillseeking in Domino!

I know.

Arthur hands the suit over to Roland who immediately packs in his padlocked brief case for "enhancing the suit".

He does have a point, Master Kaiba.

About the break?

Quite so, sir.

Maybe I will. Domino has been alittle bit quiet since the incident.

Kaiba Penthouse:Next day

Kaiba wakes up from his bed. It's now noon.

Looks like Arthur's right about the price of leading a double life.

He grabs the day's newspaper nearby his bedside. On the front page is the burning of the Domino Opera House article. The next page contained another article about the newest and most successful district attorney, Duke Devlin, making an announcement that he believes that the Batman is really helping Domino. Smiling at this, he remembers that Duke was one of his friends during private highschool to college. Since, he left Domino, many things changed, such as a former game designer turned famous lawyer.

But he couldn't continue about his friend's success, he had to focus on Arkana's next target. Moments later, he walks towards the kitchen and has his "brunch" thatArthur has served him. For the rest of the day, Kaiba just worked out intensely to keep up his "perfect" athletic abilities.

KaibaCorp:Next day---Applied Sciences Division

Even though, Roland was vice president of KaibaCorp, he still goes to where the ASD is located. Finishing up the new enhancements of the suit, he sees that Kaiba is entering through the vast halls.

How's it coming, Roland?

Just finished it.

Great.

So, I guess I'll explain to you what the new features are, huh?

Guess so.

Well, just remember that it indeed comes in black.

To Be Continued...
