The Boogeyman
Note: In this chapter, things will get a little bit bloodier, and this is where the action start, as the Ghosts at
School gang encounters the culprit(s) of the children murders for the first time, and Nightwalker and the
Batman will meet for the first time. And both men get their first shot at the Nightbreeds.
Before reading this fic, let me remind you again:
> I got the idea to make this fic from the Boogeyman character from the following sources:
> The Boogeyman character from WWE Smackdown!
> The Boogeyman character from the 1980's cartoon The Real Ghostbusters
> An episode from another anime series, Nightwalker, in which it involves children
> An episode from Gakkou no Kaidan (Ghost Stories / Ghosts at School), where a ghost, in a form of a
reaper attacks kids when their parents are away for the night.
Rated T for the following reasons:
Blood and gore (on a tolerable level)
Violence (Batman-style)
Language (S--t; F---; A—hole; and all those profanities)

Yokohama, Kanagawa District. Police were all over the said subdivision, looking for clues that would open
a lot of theories that would bring them to possible leads on how to identify the murderers. Some of the
police were trying to comfort the parents of the children found murdered in their bedrooms. Again, fools
who have a knack for spreading false folklore stories claimed that this is the work of the Boogeyman.
Though some dismisses them as superstitious lies, some parents who heard of the murders, became
paranoid, and began to pack up their belongings and move out of town in the middle of the night. Even
though the fools were arrested, their pranks have taken their toll on the town.
Police Commissioner Artemio Yamagata was leading the investigation, and had his men get leads and find
clues that would lead to the murder. Gotham City Police District detective Ellen Yin, who was here for a
four-day vacation when she (and Hajime and Momoko) found the murdered bodies, was taking pictures of
the bodies through her mobile cell phone with camera capabilities. She even offered some theories to the
police, and help collect possible fingerprint samples.
Three hours have passed, and the police decided to go home, but promised to come back later in the
morning.
All the police have left, except for the police commissioner, who saw Yin heading to a vacant lot, and
followed her. There he was surprised at what he saw.
"These are the pictures you took?" asked the Batman. "Yeah, and if you asked me, I think these kids were
pork chopped. It's like they were eaten alive. And what's even more bizarre, is that the murder took place
inside the children's sealed bedroom. Their rooms are locked, no signs of forced entries. And whoever did
this, the killer is somewhat organized. The killer went for their throats first before skewering the rest of the
kids' body parts." Yin replied. Batman looks at a corner, very concerned. He wondered why someone
would target children below 8 years old. He believed that the killer may be a psychopath with a knack for
children.
Then a voice spoke up, in fluent English. "This may sound odd, but I believe we are bordering on a
supernatural situation here." Batman and Yin looked at the source. It was Police Commissioner Yamagata.
Yamagata chuckled and said, "Don't be alarmed. I heard many accounts of you, Batman-san. I'm very
honored to meet you. And yes, I'd be more than happy to let you assist us in this case." Batman smiled and
told Yamagata that he and Yin will do whatever they can to solve this case. Then Yamagata's radio spoke.
"Sir, the N. O. S. agency are here, and are helping in the investigation." "Good. Let them examine the
bodies, and maybe they can help us as well." The commissioner replied. Looking at the two foreigners,
Yamagata told them about the N. O. S. agency, and their accomplishments. Before leaving Yamagata
looked at the two, especially the Batman and said, "Given the chance, I believed that you, Batman-san, and
Shido would make a good team in investigating this case. Well then, good luck in your investigation."
Somewhere within the Yokohama subdivision, Shido Tatsuhiko and Riho Yamazaki were surveying the
scene of the crime. Looking closely at the bodies that were about to be taken to the morgue, it didn't take
five seconds for Shido to guess who did this. Guni, a small fairy-like familiar, spoke behind his long mane.
"This is a work of a Nightbreed. Though I'm puzzled on why they would target young children." Shido
replied softly and said, "Looks like we'll be having our hands full. Though their motives are unclear, I
believe that Cain is somewhat involved in this.". Then Yamagata came and shook hands with Shido and
Riho. They discussed about the incident, and before parting ways, Shido promised that this case will be
solved.
Hajime and Momoko reached home through police escorts. While Momoko talked to her parents about
what happened, Hajime was talking with Satsuki about the incident. Keichiirou clutched to his sister and
began crying. Satsuki became concerned, and decided to to tell Amanojako about this. Amanojako himself
was surprised about this. He wasn't entirely sure about who was responsible, but he doubt that this was a
work of a ghost or a demon. Amanojako said that he'll keep his senses open in case the killer make his way
here.
A week has passed, and no incidents of child murders have occurred since, but police were still on alert in
case the killer strikes. Batman had Alfred make statements to Gotham City that Bruce Wayne is "having a
rest due to illness." This is because he decided to stay at Japan for the time being so that he could
concentrate on the case (a/n: If your wondering how and where Batman makes his hygienic activities, well,
he goes to the Watch Tower, and there he does his activities, like taking a bath, brushing his teeth, and all,
and he also gets an extra supply of his costume. He also stays at the Watch Tower to get some sleep).
Detective Yin on the other hand, was given permission by GCPD Police Commissioner James Gordon to
go to Japan to help solve the case. Chief Rojas was very much against this, but Gordon reasoned that since
she was there when the incident happened, she might help the Japanese police solve the case, and in doing
so, would bring pride to the US, especially Gotham. Gordon was also aware that the Batman was there,
since Yin told him that she and the Batman were doing separate investigations. "Good luck to the both of
you." Gordon thought.
Meanwhile, Hajime organizes a meeting at his place. During the meeting, the Ghosts at School gang were
facing a blank wall on who would want to do something this horrible. Amanojako said he'll stay awake
during the night, so that in case he encounters the killer at night, he might be able to identify the killer. Aya,
Fuko, and Natsumi suggested that they should camp here at Hajime's house for the whole week, saying that
if the killer shows up, not only does the victim have witnesses, but their numbers might be an advantage to
them, as they could outnumber and tackle the intruder. Hajime agreed, and Leo said that he'll bring in his
camera to get a shot of the intruder. The gang agreed, and prepared their things to camp at Hajime. Aya,
Fuko, and Natsumi gave a knowing look at each other, hatching a plan to tease Hajime and Momoko.
On the 4th night, Batman was roaming around Hajime's neighborhood, getting a gut feeling that the intruder
might strike here. Batman was looking around from a tree that camouflages him. 10 minutes later, he
notices a group of 10 children roaming around at night, at 10:30 PM. Batman decided to stay put for now,
seeing that the children were entering their houses. But then notices that one of the children was picking on
the window's lock, and entered, then closing it. 10 seconds later, a shot of blood was seen through the
window. 2 minutes later the window opened, and out came the child who entered the window, his body and
clothes drenched in blood. The child then closed and locked the window, as if nothing happened. His right
hand was clear with no stains, but his left hand was carrying a heart, fresh with blood. Batman was
surprised at the sight he just saw, and immediately came down from the tree. As Batman cautiously
approaches the child, the child arrogantly gobbles the heart, and blood oozes out, splattering a portion of
blood on the Batman's costume. The child then growls, exposing his fangs and charged at the Dark Knight.
Batman stepped out of the way, and the child collided with a tree, but recovered. Batman then hurled his
"Bat-erang" at the child, knocking out. As the Batman approaches the unconscious child, three other
children appeared, all drenched in blood, some were still chewing body parts, such as the liver and the
heart. The shots were fired, and the three children fell to the ground, with shots in their heads. He then saw
the shooter. Ellen Yin. "Saw them came out of three houses through the window, and…you can guess what
they just did." Batman nodded, but the neighbors were roused from their sleeps after hearing the shots.
There they saw Yin and the Batman. One of the neighbors was carrying a shot gun and aimed it at the
Batman. "Hah! Got you, you f---in'animal! Bet you're the one who's killin' the kids…" but the other
neighbor lowered the shot gun. "Relax, that's the Batman. Bet he's here to find the killer." Yin, speaking in
Japanese, said, ""Your killers are right here…". Yin pointed at the three kids, all with internal organs
hanging in their fangs and mouths. "Oh S---!", the two neighbors gasped as they looked shocked at what
they just saw. Then screams were echoed throughout the nearby houses. Batman, speaking in Japanese,
said, "Better call the cops. I believe there's more of these…things roaming around.". Batman turned to Yin
and said, "Take over from here, and shoot down anyone carrying an organ with their hands and mouth.".
Batman then left, while Yin called the Yokohama Police District through her radio.
11 PM. Everything was quiet at the Aoyama house as the Ghosts at School gang were fast asleep, camping
inside Hajime's bedroom. An hour before signing off, the gang were making preparations in case the
intruder shows up. They even made jokes and having good talks so that they won't get tensed. Hajime
prepared two futons, so that Aya, Fuko and Natsumi can occupy the first futon, while Leo and Satsuki will
take the other futon. Keichiirou and Momoko were lying beside Hajime on his bed. Aya and Fuko began to
tease Hajime and Momoko, saying that the two now have a "son". Even Satsuki joined the laughter, as
Hajime and Momoko blushed profusely at the statement. They then go to sleep. Amanojako was lying
beside the window, activating his ESP so that he'll wake up if an intruder came close to the Aoyama house.
By 12 MN, the Ghost at School gang were still asleep. Momoko's three friends were curled around each
other. Leo and Satsuki were sleeping, facing away. Hajime and Momoko were asleep, facing at Keichiirou,
who was at the center of the bed, and Hajime and Momoko's hands were clasping together. Hajime roused
from his slumber, as he makes it a habit to see if there's something strange going on. Momoko also woke
up, feeling something strange. They both realized that they're holding hands, and blushed. But for strange
reasons, they wouldn't release their grips, and instead gazed at each other. As if a force was possessing
them, they slowly came closer, and their lips were about touch, when Keichiirou woke up. Their gaze was
broken and blushed further, but they looked at Keichiirou, asking him if there was something wrong.
Keichiirou said that he wanted to go to the bathroom. Hajime then told Momoko to accompany him while
he stays behind just in case. Momoko agreed and accompanying Keichiirou to the bathroom. Hajime sat on
his bed, relieved that Keichiirou had broken up their situation. He felt somewhat guilty of taking advantage
of her, since Momoko told him that she wasn't ready yet for a new relationship, stating that she needs to
sort out her own feelings. The goes for Hajime, seeing that he himself wasn't sure if his feelings for
Momoko were that of pure love and affection or just sibling-like relationship. Five minutes later,
Amanojako woke up, his eyes were blazing. Recognizing it, Hajime pulled out a gun from under his pillow.
"Is he coming in through the window?" he asked. Amanojako used his ears to detect any sound. His eyes
widened in fear. "He's already inside!" Hajime looked shock to the core, guessing that the intruder is
heading near where Keichiirou and Momoko were standing. He jumped from his bed and headed towards
the bathroom, while Amanojako wakes up the gang.
Elsewhere in the neighborhood, the Batman was busy taking out the "children", who then revealed their
"powers" by jumping, kicking and punching. Even the neighbors decided to help the Batman by beating the
children with their rakes. Some of the children retaliated by killing their attackers. Some then bit their
necks, and killed them. Then in a few minutes, the bitten neighbors became Nightbreeds and began ganging
up on Batman and the surviving neighbors. "Kami-Sama! These kids are vampires!", says one of the
neighbors. Batman did all he could to protect the neighbors, but all of them were killed, and some turned
into Nightbreeds, and the Batman was all alone, surrounded by Nightbreed children and adults. Then a
blood-colored sword hacked the Nightbreeds in two. Turning around, he saw who the attacker was. "So we
meet at last." Says the man with the red sword, in fluent English. "I must say, it is an honor to meet you.
Don't worry, I'm on your side. I happen to know who and what these creatures are. After we took care of
them, I'll tell you everything about who you are dealing with.". "Very well. I'll hold you on to that."
Batman replied.
And Batman and Nightwalker fought together in dealing with the Nightbreed. As the fighting escalates,
gunshots were heard. Batman saw the source of the shots, seeing the house just three houses away. "That's
where one of the Ghosts at School gang member lives. I hope that the demon-cat can hold the attacker long
enough to us to get there in time." Batman thought (a/n: Batman met the Ghosts at School gang and
Amanojako before. See The Haunted Circus and the Fetus of God fanfics. They are under this category).
At the Aoyama house, Hajime managed to shoot down three of the nightbreed-possessed children on their
heads. He then took Momoko and Keichiirou back to the his bedroom, before noticing that six more
nightbreeds were tailing them. As the three gang members entered the bedroom, they locked the door, as
the rest of the gang were already awake thanks to Amanojako (a/n: Hajime's parents were away for the
night due to a business meeting. The same goes for Satsuki and Keichiirou's father). But as the gang were
staring at each other, the bedroom door was banging out loudly, and soon a crack was seen. Hajime and the
gang braced themselves, as Amanojako stood in front of the door, preparing for the Nightbreeds' attack.
To Be Continued…
Ok, so the Batman and Nightwalker meet and joined forces, but their hands are full in dealing with the
Nightbreeds. Will they get to the Ghosts at School gang on time before the gang are beef stewed? And can
Amanojako do to protect the gang?
