Chapter 3: A New Dark Knight Begins (Fin)
We see the members of the Black Mask gang moving towards the docks to pick up a new shipment of drugs and guns that their boss ordered. They had to move the shipment in a quick moment of time as even with some GCPD on the payroll of Black Mask, they still had to move out before any other gangs become aware of this operation.
Nearby, we see a thug loading up a container of the drugs and guns that are in wooden boxes, being placed into cardboard boxes to avoid any smart-ass cops taking a look into the shipments.
However, something happened and a loud grasp of panic was heard, causing everyone to be on guard as they have heard that. Two guards saw the thug that was loading up had disappeared.
"Jack...Jack!" One of the guards asked, getting louder as the pair forward to the container and found nothing.
Then sparks started to fly around, and as something hit the light pulled above them and caused the guards to jump in shock. Some other guards were on guard and looking around as the same thing was happening to them on their end. One of the two guards looks above and another look down at the ground to see something on the ground.
A shuriken or ninja throwing star but wasn't normal as it had markings and took sharp of a bat or something.
This caused the guard to become very unsure of what the hell was going on.
"Hey Mark, check this," The guard said, going to show his friend the shuriken but we see Mark being frozen in pure fear of what he saw above him and his friend.
"Mark?" The guard asked, confused, and saw that pure afraid look on his face, causing him to slowly look up and saw what caused his friend to be frozen in pair.
Both screamed in pure terror as the said creature of the night came down onto them, the last thing they saw was a pure of golden glowing eyes then nothingness.
This caused a guard not so far away to start shooting everything and bullets were flying outwards from his assault rifle, being in a deep scare and his heart beat going out of control. He wasn't thinking straight and losing his cool as he kept loading his gun, shooting up any places that were covered in darkness, backing up into a corner.
"WHERE ARE YOU!" The guard shouted in pure fear and panic, not knowing the said person was closer than he thinks.
"...Here...," A whispered in the darkness, right behind the guard, and soon screamed as he saw the hazel eyes before being covered in darkness.
Nearby, four guards have been hearing screaming of pure fear and terror, causing them to shake uncontrollably and not understand what the hell was going on. All of them were thinking about getting the hell out of here!
Then all of a sudden, a beeping noise was heard and soon enough a loud bang went off, flashbangs causing their ears to ring out of control and eyes to lose focus then a smoke bomb went off, covering the guards in a cloud of smoke. Only the sounds of grunting, groaning, or bones being snapped were all that can be heard.
The head of operations is a mature man. He wore a pure black suit and a somewhat skull-like mask covering his head. He heard what was going on and needed to get the helluva dodge. He ran back to his truck and got into the back seat, shutting the door and locking it.
"Come on, let's go!" He ordered to his driver but so became surprised and froze for a second when seeing his driver was gone and keys as well.
"Fuck," The skull-masked man cursed before getting a shotgun out and started loading the shells in while hearing something was going outside. Like something or someone was moving around the truck, he didn't see a pointed shadow figure or the golden eyes watching him from above the truck's glass window roof.
"What the hell are you?" He asked or demeaned out loud until a clawed hand came crashing down and grabbed the masked man upwards to come face to face with his question.
The said person was a man, wearing a pure black bodysuit that hugged his figure perfectly, showing many armor pieces covering the vital areas of it, like his chest, legs, back, shoulders, and also his arms, having claws on each one of his fingers along with advanced bracelets that also showed to have three black blades on the forearm, a piece of black cloth is seen to cover the front side of his waist and lower side, with a long, shredded cape being seen tied around his neck, falling behind him and giving the air of bat wings to the world, dark hood covering his head which looked like it belonged to the grim reaper itself, and also a metallic mask over his face, with a pair of hazel/golden glowing eyes that shined through the darkness of the hood. A pair of pointy sharp bat-like ears are seen keeping the hood up a little.
"I'm Batman," The new Dark Knight said, his voice sounding like a shadow, like a wraith or grim reaper.
The skull-masked man was purely scared. Then his own mask was ripped off his head and then got a headbutt, being knocked out by the new Batman.
Batman then noicted a homeless man just five feet away by an oil-let fire barrier and keep himself warm but stopped his action as he saw what he thought was a ghost. The hooded bat tilted his head and saw the guy got a good coat on him, good style.
"Nice coat," Batman commented before taking off with his grapple hook, which to the homeless man it looked like he took off with the thug into the darkness.
"...thanks...," Was the only thing the homeless man could say.
Time Skip
The next day came and the newspaper, all the companies were showing the same news on the front pages. The front pages were showing pictures of members of Black Mask's gang being cuffed and beaten, hanging from pipes above their heads. The leader of that operation was placed on a large flashlight that is used to help boats know where they are going but he pined down and spread outwards. His shadow took the shape of an actual bat, shining through the night sky and surprising many.
Many people of Gotham were shocked beyond words and also confused. Some not believed this, some believed that this might be the real Batman trying something new, or maybe Batgirl. Some kept pointing out it was something new as only one picture, that someone took just ten miles away from the crime screen. The picture showed a hooded figure with pointed ears and eyes glowing in the darkness.
We then see a certain redhead, grabbing the newspaper and seeing this big news, being in total surprise and also going to seek answers which had to start in one place. The very home of the Dark Knight and get her answers.
