While Bruce and Chelsea spend the night together once again at stately Wayne Manor, something else is going on tonight in the old Gotham Amusement Park, built outside of Gotham. Old carnival rides are still standing after so many years without being used. There are some old popcorn makers with perhaps stale or moldy popcorn still inside them. This must've been a great place to hang out at, if you were a kid or a teenager taking your date out for a good time. But now it has turned to a decrepit version of itself and also a secret meeting area for the remnants of the Falcone Crime Family, now under the command of Nick Hinds. He is also joined by Ralph O'Shea who has finally gotten his ass out of the Gotham Jail. He is also without his Celts MC vest.
Nick sees Ralph and says, "Well, O'Shea, we didn't think you'd actually get out of the fucking clink".
Ralph laughs sarcastically and responds, "Yeah, I know. But now, I've been excommunicated from the MC and so is that little dipshit that was with me and Peter doing the bank job, almost a few weeks ago".
Nick shakes his head and says, "Shit, Ralph, things have been going from bad to worse for us, in the last few weeks. I mean, most of the Mob is slaughtered like sheep and the boss-man himself is found with a metal pipe shoved up his ass. What the fuck is going on here"?
Ralph asks, "Where were you when your boss got a piece of rebar shoved up his ass"?
"He sent me back to the docks, to pick up three more shipments of blow", Nick replies.
Nick's right-hand man, Stan asks, "So, what's next"?
"Obviously, with all the murders happening around here, every gang in Gotham is getting scared", Nick replies.
Ralph says, "If you ask me, Nick, I'd say the fucking Batman's to blame".
Before he could even finish his rant, Ralph is suddenly shot in the head. Nick and the rest of his boys look to where the bullet came from. Suddenly, men dressed in black suits and wearing gold chains come into the park, brandishing shotguns, AK's and Glocks. Nick tries to grab his pistol from his pocket, but he is suddenly stopped by his own right-hand man, Stan. Stan pulls his pistol out and aims it at Nick's face.
"Nick, don't do it. You're going to want to listen to these guys", Stan says.
Nick lowers his weapon and glares at Stan. Then, another character enters the group. He is wearing a black business suit with a white tie. There is a black skull mask covering his face. He is also brandishing a double-barreled shotgun.
Nick immediately recognizes the man, and he says his name, "Oh, shit, Black Mask".
"We know who I am, boy. I've been hunting you all down for the last couple of weeks", Sionis says.
Nick panics and says, "Look, Mr. Sionis, we don't want any trouble".
Sionis looks Nick in the eye and says, "And neither do I, though I should just fucking kill you all for turning my family's steel mill into a satanic worship hall for your boss".
Sionis just shakes his head and gets down to business, "Look, I'm just not buying Mr. Leprechaun's claim of Batman being the one behind the killings in town. I've taken on Batman, for many years and never has he tried to kill me or any other cocksucker that he's gone up against".
Nick looks at Sionis and asks, "What do you suggest? That it's someone else, trying to upstage the Bat"?
Sionis gives Nick his answer, "We've seen too many wannabes try to upstage Batman, over the years. Whoever is doing the killings is no exception, so we're going to find out who it is, gentlemen and then we'll kill him".
Black Mask looks to Nick and the remainder of his crew and asks, "Can we count on you boys to help us out? Consider this a fucking truce. If not, we'll just blow your brains out right where you all stand".
Nick turns to all five members of his crew, including his back-stabbing right-hand man, Stan. Finally, Nick says, "We're in, Sionis".
The next morning, Bruce is sleeping in his bed, but there is no sign of Chelsea. The only thing on Chelsea's side of the bed is a piece of paper. Bruce wakes up and looks to the other side of the bed and finds the piece of paper lying on the pillow. Bruce picks it up and reads it, "Bruce, I'm sorry that I didn't say goodbye, but I left early for school and will be working late, tonight; love Chelsea".
Bruce sets the paper down and rises out of bed to start the day.
At the library of the Gotham University, Chelsea and Heather are sitting together going over their homework.
Heather looks a bit impatient, and she looks at Chelsea and asks, "So what? Are you not going to tell me about what happened with that Baron guy"?
Chelsea shakes her head and says, "No, I'm not, because there's nothing to talk about".
Heather says, "I can't believe you actually told Bruce about that encounter with the baron, girl. You could've done what every other girl does and keep it to herself".
Chelsea says, "Well, I'm not like other girls, Heather and you know that. And besides, I want to make sure that I don't run into him again. Bruce told me to do so, because he found out that Baron Alucard is not a known person in his native land. He must be some con-artist or something. I mean, now that I think about it, how would he possess such priceless artifacts like the ones I saw at his penthouse? They look like they belong in a museum or something. It just doesn't make any sense".
Heather is at a loss for words, so she says, "Okay, I got nothing on that".
Later that night, at the Gotham Merchant Bank, Nick Hinds and his men are found loading armored trucks with some very heavy bags. Nick looks at Stan in utter disgust.
"I can't believe you ratted on me to Sionis, Stan", Nick said.
"What the fuck was I supposed to do? He had guns pointed in all directions at me", Stand said.
"You could've kept your fucking hole shut and die like a warrior. But I'm going to make sure that you die like all rats do", Nick says.
Suddenly, the sound of a low animal-like growl can be heard from behind Nick and Stan. Both men turn around. There stands Dracula, glaring at the two mobsters. His eyes burning like jewels from the pit of Hell and his fangs razor sharp as a tiger's.
Dracula asks, "Those bags look rather heavy. Would you care if I give you hand with them"?
Nick and Stan do not answer Dracula's question. Dracula's not at all stunned by Nick and Stan's total silence. Dracula prepares to carry out sentence for the two criminals, but suddenly, there is big blinding light that has been turned on from behind the vampire. Dracula turns around and covers his eyes from the blinding light. Then, more men come out of the bank, wielding guns and pointing them right at Dracula.
Black Mask is the last one to exit the building and he immediately looks at Dracula and shouts, "Well, well, look at what we've caught, boys. I guess we were right. It's not Batman after all"!
Black Mask orders his men to kill the light. "Oh, well, let's have some fun with this Batman-Wannabe", Sionis says.
On Sionis' orders, the men start opening fire on Dracula. Dracula's entire body becomes riddled with 9mm rounds. To Sionis' dismay, Dracula is not dead. Dracula smiles like the Devil and moves to action. He quickly dispatches all of Nick and Ralph's boys and kills Nick and Stan last. Black Mask stands in front of his new opponent. Dracula looks up at Black Mask.
Black Mask applauds and shouts, "Bravo! Bravo, my good man. You impress me"!
Dracula simply says, "I'm glad you approve, Mr. Sionis. Now it is your turn".
Black Mask sarcastically says, "Oh, my goodness! I feel a shock of fear in my heart".
Suddenly, Black Mask pulls out a detonator and presses the button. BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! Explosives are detonated under Dracula's feet, which send him flying into the air. Dracula burns up as he is thrown across the street.
Black Mask shouts, "Adios, motherfucker"!
Black Mask keeps on laughing, but then he looks at the fire and suddenly, he stops laughing. Walking out of the fire is Dracula, who is completely burnt to a crisp. But his entire body begins to regenerate. Black Mask looks surprised.
Black Mask asks, "What kind of Batman wannabe are you"?
Dracula says, "I'm not Batman. Batman is the wannabe. He wouldn't exist if it weren't for my legend".
Black Mask asks, "Who are you"?
Dracula answers, "I have many names. They called me Vlad III, Vlad Tepes, Vlad the Impaler and Dracula. You can call me Dracula".
Black Mask looks Dracula in the eye and asks, "Dracula"?
Suddenly, Black Mask bursts out laughing. Black Mask sarcastically says, "Yeah, right. And I am Davy Crockett! HA! HA! HA"!
Suddenly, Dracula grabs Black Mask by the throat and looks Dracula right in the eye.
Black Mask asks, "You're serious, aren't you"?
Dracula glares him in the eye and asks, "What do you think"?!
Dracula bares his fangs at Black Mask. Black Mask realizes that Dracula isn't full of shit, so he answers, "Well, I guess you're not kidding. You seem to be the real Dracula. Now here comes the part where I get on both knees and suck your undead cock".
Suddenly, Black Mask pulls out a stiletto knife from his coat pocket and stabs it right into Dracula's side. Dracula feels the pain and releases Black Mask. Black Mask runs from Dracula and then he is covered by his hired guns. They open fire on Dracula. Dracula is hit by bullets just as he pulls the stiletto from his side. The skies are showing that the sun is about to rise. Black Mask turns around and shouts to Dracula.
Black Mask looks up at the sun and then back to Dracula, "It looks like the sun is rising. What's it going to be, pal? You going to come get me or go back to your precious coffin?! Choose wisely"!
Black Mask and his men run off. Dracula attempts to pursue, but he sees the sun rising. He then withdraws into the shadows, before it is too late.
At Wayne Manor, Bruce is seen in the living room, watching the news, where Vicki Vale is reporting on the sudden bombing at the old Gotham Merchant Bank.
Vicki reports, "I'm here at the Gotham Merchant Bank, where earlier this morning there was a bombing. When police arrived on scene, they found multiple bodies with their throats torn completely out. It is the first murder since the Arkham Massacre three nights ago. Police are still investigating". The TV is switched off.
Later that evening, Bruce returns to the Batcave, looking at the Batcomputer.
The voice of Oracle speaks to Bruce, via the Batcomputer, "Bruce, are you sure that's where he is"?
"Chelsea said it was a penthouse on 44th Avenue. There's only one building that would have a penthouse on that street and that's Conroy Towers. And you won't believe who previously owned that penthouse: the late Aaron Wilhelm Reinhardt", Bruce says.
"If that's where Dracula's holed up in, then that's where I need to go", he continues.
Oracle says, "Bruce, be careful out there. He's stronger than you on all fronts".
"I am aware of that, Oracle", Bruce says as he jumps out of his chair and straight to the Batsuit Locker, where his Batsuit is stored.
The door opens and inside is a fully upgraded variation of the Batsuit, courtesy of Lucius Fox and Wayne Enterprises. Oracle's voice is heard on the Batcomputer once more, telling Bruce of the new suit, "With Lucius out of town, I managed to get a fully upgraded Batsuit ready for you, Bruce. It's got some impressive features and it will be a big help when you take the fight to Dracula. I simply call it the "Vampire Slayer". I couldn't find anything better to nickname it".
Bruce suits up into his newly upgraded Batsuit.
VROOM! Batman is in the Batmobile. It is running and it races out of the cave like a car out of Hell. The Batmobile races through the empty road, in the same manner as the Batmobile from the 1960's TV show starring Adam West and Burt Ward.
