I only own my OCs, Taylor and Nosfearatu, I do not own, Bentley, or Carmelita.

A/N: As usual, I do not own the music I use for the atmosphere, all rights go to the creators of Sly Cooper.

Taylor was flying around the lake, while Bentley soon said on the communicator, "Alright Taylor that jetpack is easy to fly, use the sticks you are hold to move up and down and side to side in the direction you want to go, and push the buttons on the sticks to fire its rockets." Suddenly, a giant bat-bot came by out an unknown location, causing Bentley to say, "Taylor behind you!"

The bat-bot soon said with a familiar disguised voice, meaning this is Nosfearatu, "Taylor Fearbrave, you defeated my henchmen, escaped my drowning chamber, apprehended my scientists, foiled my backup plan, and destroyed Fear Vave. Typical, you seem to try and stop me, just like your brother."

Taylor was shocked, and asked, "Just like my brother?!" She glared and said, "So that was you in the backgrounds of Alice's and Jack's sections of the Nightmare Files, you must be really old to even become a mechanized bat!"

Nosfearatu soon said, "Oh, come one, I am not that old, I'm nearly 32."

Taylor soon asked, "So you say that despite replacing your body with a robot one, just like the original Clockwerk."

"IT'S NOT MY BODY," Nosfearatu yelled, then calmed down and said, "This is just my remote-controlled robot, vhich I am controlling at vhat I call my Resting Place, like a vampire, only I'm a fearpire, and it vill be your downfall vhen I use it to take on you and help bring back to the surface the Fear Vave to continue my plan."

"What? To be immortal?" Taylor asked.

Nosfearatu soon replied, "Yes, cowardice is to me the prime ingredient to my fountain of youth. Sort of like Clockverk, I plan to stay alive for thousands of years with a steady, but hefty diet of the fear of others. And vith this bat-bot Dr. N. Gin made before making the cloning machine using the schematics of Clockverk and adjusting them to make it look like a bat, I vill use vhat I call Batverk to not only bring back the Fear Vave, but to amplify its power to the Dark Diamond that I vill install after I defeat you vith it."

Carmelita soon appeared somewhere, and said through Taylor's communicator, "Taylor, if what Nosfearatu said is true, then if this Batwerk was made with the same strengths as the original Clockwerk, then it might have the same weaknesses. Which means my missiles from my shock pistol can't hurt it but put holes in its armor. Shoot at the gaps I create!"

Taylor soon flies around Batwerk, which shoots some dark spheres at Taylor, but then a Shock Pistol shot hit Batwerk, causing him to screech in pain, and Taylor shot at the spot, causing some damage. She continued it until Taylor did enough damage to cause Batwerk to flip and fall down into the lake with a screech.

Bentley soon said via communicator, "Nice shooting Taylor! You got it! Now we can-" Batwerk soon rose out of the lake in a bit of a different look, as Bentley soon said, "Wow, that robot's one tough bat."

Taylor soon said, "I don't get it, you had some intel on my brother, Shadow, you knew he had something like a sister. If you hated him so much, why did let me be conscious while you and the other members of the Nightmare Eight knocked out my brother and took the Nightmare Files?"

Nosfearatu replied, "Because, not only Bumby and Oogie vill get revenge on Shadow for helping out that psychotic girl and that annoying bag of bones," Taylor glared at him after he insulted Alice and Jack, as he continued, "I vanted to prove you and the vorld that vithout your brother's life's vork, nothing vill stop me, and you vill be forever in fear. However, I vas surprised vhen you defeated Oogie, since he vould've been the one to defeat you due to your history vith him."

"Yeah, well, that is where your theory was wrong," Taylor said, Batwerk looked intrigued as Taylor, "Just as sort of the same way as the Theivius Raccoonus, the Nightmare Files doesn't create Great Courage, it takes Great Courage to create the Nightmare Files, Shadow told me so on the night you all arrived!"

Batwerk was shocked, but then glared at her, as Nosfearatu said through him, "Enough with this, Taylor Fearbrave! This ends here! I vill finish you just as I should've finished your brother, vhich I vill finish the job! The Fearbrave threat vill be dealt vith, then nothing vill stop me, and the vorld vill know the true meaning of fear once they see me, their Master of Fear, Nosfearatu!"

Soon Batwerk launched some hoops of dark tendrils that made a sound, as if a grown man screaming, at Taylor. She however went in the middle of the hoops, and it didn't hurt her, she continued to go through the middle, until Carmelita shot another Shock Pistol shot at Batwerk, causing it to screech, which caused Taylor to shoot at the spot, causing Batwerk to screech more in pain. Taylor once again continued the process, until Batwerk closes its wings, and diagonally dive to the edge of the lake.

Taylor soon landed at the edge, took off the Jetpack, as Bentley soon said, "Now's your only chance Taylor! You've got to get to Batwerk's head and destroy it, then use your goggles to help pinpoint the location of Nosfearatu's Resting Place, before it's auto-reconstruction circuitry kicks in!"

Batwerk soon tries its best to get back airborne, while Taylor continues to run towards it. Nosfearatu soon said things like, "Come on Batverk, fly!" or "You mustn't give up, Batverk!" Soon, Taylor reached Batwerk, and begins whacking the head with her staff, while Nosfearatu was saying through Batwerk, "FEARBRAVE! YOU MIGHT DESTROY BATVERK, BUT YOU VON'T STOP ME, EVEN IF YOU FIND ME! NOSFEARATU VILL BE THE MASTER OF FEAR!"

[Stop Music]

Taylor soon did a few more whacks, and Batwerk's head was destroyed. She soon puts on her goggles and begins to pinpoint the control waves to that bat-bot, which leads to what looks like a stone structure near the lake, and Taylor soon said, "A crypt, that is too cliche even for you Nosfearatu!"

Taylor soon went to the crypt, to face the final trial against a future fearpire.

Taylor has defeated what might've been Nosfearatu's final line of defense, and now knows where he is, and is going to face him. Will she be able to defeat the future fearpire and avenge her brother?
