Chapter 2: Batman Who?
For a certain Leonidas van Rook, he had never encountered someone like the Batman nor his ally Aquaman before. Yet these two were certainly in his way of acquiring another piece of the Kur stone for his client V.V. Argost.
"I don't know who the heck you two are" said Van Rook as he then readied what seemed like a laser gun from his inventory, "but this thing here shall fix both of you."
Van Rook then began to fire the laser gun at both Batman and Aquaman to which they managed to dodge the oncoming attack, but the fighting sparked the remaining Megalodons to turn their attention toward the three disturbing their nest of remaining shark eggs for their species.
"Er, Bats, I think we got bigger problems than dealing with someone like this" said Aquaman as he noticed the sharks were moving toward them.
"Looks like they're hungry, or at least angry that we've disturbed their nesting ground" replied Batman.
Both Aquaman and Batman then immediately began to swim out of the area, passing Leonidas van Rook who was still trying to get a good aim at them.
"Hey, where the heck do you think you two cowards are going to?!" cried Van Rook to which he noticed the oncoming Megalodon sharks, "Looks like my business here is done for now."
Van Rook immediately then began to head back toward his submarine, with at least three Megalodons heading toward him. He then immediately lauded some sort of a grenade, which instead blinded the oncoming Megalodon sharks preventing them from going forward.
"That should bid me some time" laughed Van Rook as he then immediately got into his submarine and began to start up the engines.
As Van Rook's submarine was starting right up, Batman got back into his Batsub, and began to give chase with Aquaman at his side at Van Rook.
"So, these two still think they can go after me?" laughed Van Rook who was at the console of his submarine, "Let's see how they like this!"
Van Rook then immediately released some foam from the back of his submarine, blinding Aquaman and Batman.
"I can't see through this!" cried Aquaman.
"Don't worry, I got things covered" replied Batman.
As Batman pressed a few buttons on his Batsub, a vacuum of some sort appeared and began to suck up the surrounding foam that was preventing them from going forward.
"Now let's see how he likes it with a taste of his own medicine" continued Batman.
Where the rockets were supposedly were located on the Batsub, instead, the foam that was sucked up by the Batsub, fired out from the places where the rockets were suppose to be.
"What the heck?!" cried Van Rook as he noticed the very foam he attempted to use against Batman and Aquaman was coming right toward his submarine.
The foam immediately wrapped itself around parts of Van Rook's submarine, getting around the blind spots of the submarine itself on its sides.
"I can't see clearly!" cried Van Rook as he desperately tried to get rid of the foam.
This of course slowed down Van Rook from escaping, to which the Batsub and Aquaman then sped right up, and right over the submarine's hatch.
"Now to fight this fellow right where it hurts him the most" said Batman as he then pressed another button on the console.
Suddenly, a tube from the Batsub emerged from the button of the submarine, and attached itself toward the hatch of Van Rook's submarine. Before Van Rook could find out what was going on, it was too late, the Batman along with Aquaman managed to immediately gain access to the submarine.
"So, you think you can break through this thing here?" asked Aquaman.
"Like this" replied Batman.
From the Batman's belt of gadgets, he immediately placed on some sort of device to which after a few seconds, the hatch immediately was able to be unlocked. Back on the submarine itself, Van Rook was still trying to asset the damage done by the two perpetrators.
"I don't know who the heck those two think they are that they can just ruin my activities like this" sighed Van Rook, "but they are not going to get pass me."
"Looks like you're wrong about that" said Batman.
As Van Rook turned around from his station he was quite well surprised, and astonished to see the Batman and Aquaman in his direct presence intruding on his submarine.
"I don't know who the heck you two are, but you are going to go down, you've just made a big mistake on trespassing on my submarine" said Van Rook as he then took out another heavy duty weapon.
Van Rook then immediately then began to fire at both Batman and Aquaman who then ducked for cover. The two immediately then began to split up, in order to confuse Van Rook.
"Where the heck are you two intruders?" laughed Van Rook as he was heading into his submarine, "I will eventually find you, and make you pay for disrupting my activities in this manner."
As Van Rook turned another corner in his submarine, he noticed the shadow of the Batman.
"Ah ha, there you are!" laughed Van Rook.
He then immediately turned his attention toward the Batman's shadow and began to fire, but it was only a shadow of what he thought it was the Batman.
"What the?!" cried Van Rook as he took a closer look revealing that it was just part of the engine of his submarine, "Just great, these two are going to leave me stuck here with some big, giant sharks!"
"Maybe you'd like the big house instead?" asked a voice behind Van Rook.
Suddenly as Van Rook turned around, a fist came flying at him which belonged to the Batman who was right behind him. After Van Rook recovered from the surprise attack, he then began to charge toward the Batman to which a fight then began to brew between the two. While that was happening, the three Megalodons that were temporarily blinded by Van Rook's flash grenade regained consciousness and then spotted the Batsub, and Van Rook's submarine as mere sitting ducks. As Aquaman gazed outside the window of the submarine, on the part that wasn't covered with foam, he noticed the sharks moving toward them.
"Er, Bats, I think you better stop having fun with your new playmate, it looks like we got bigger fish coming toward us!" cried Aquaman.
"I'm a little bit busy at the moment, do you think you can still use your powers to control your friends?" asked Batman as Van Rook charged at him with another punch.
For the very same reason before, Aquaman could felt that something was blocking his concentration on controlling the Megalodon sharks, he then thought of a strange rock acquired by Van Rook was somewhere in the submarine itself which must be the culprit, if he could get it in time, he would be able to prevent the Megalodon sharks from eating the three alive.
