Chapter 3: Grabbing the Kur Stone
Leonidas van Rook had never fought anyone like the Batman before. The Dark Knight was also fighting Van Rook in effort to ensure Aquaman would be able to grab whatever was preventing him from controlling the Megalodons which at least three of the large sharks were coming straight toward the two sitting submarines.
"Where do you think you're going?!" cried Van Rook as he gave the Batman a good punch sending him crashing against the wall of the submarine.
Van Rook gave chase toward Aquaman who was focusing on his target which was the strange Kur stone which Van Rook grabbed from the shark nest of the Megalodons. As Van Rook were about to try to stop him, the Batman recovered from Van Rook's attacks and turned the tables on him. He gave Van Rook a good punch, and another one, sending him crashing against the wall.
"So, you think you can just barge right in and take my Kur stone?" asked Van Rook as he recovered from the attack by the Batman, "I'm going to ensure my client gets what's coming for him."
"Oh yeah, you're still going to have to go through me" replied Batman.
Batman was continuing to bid more time for Aquaman who managed to come across the strange stone which Leonidas van Rook acquired from the Megalodon nest. He immediately took it, and headed toward the basement of the submarine which housed the torpedoes.
"No, the Kur stone!" cried Van Rook.
Van Rook attempted to get up and chase Aquaman, yet the Batman threw a grappling hook tying up which he quickly fell right on the floor of the submarine. As the Batman approached Van Rook, he immediately took out a small laser weapon which emerged from his wrist and began to fire at him.
"See how you like it now!" laughed Van Rook as he then untied himself.
It was now Van Rook's turn to turn on the Batman. The submarine itself was quite big enough for the Dark Knight to slip right through and evade Van Rook's detection. Aside from that, he purposely unleashed some steam vents, in order to confuse Van Rook who was having quite a hard time. This should give Aquaman the right sort of time he need to load up the Kur stone in the slot where a torpedo was suppose to go in the submarine.
"Now this should be the right sort of way to get rid of this whatever it is" said Aquaman as he placed the Kur stone in the torpedo slot which was just the right size, "now how the heck do you work this thing?"
While Aquaman was trying to figure out on how to work the torpedoes, the fight between Batman and Van Rook entered right into the main control room of the submarine. Van Rook was firing his weapon randomly at the Batman who was easily dodging the attacks. Eventually, the Batman fell on some buttons, activating the torpedoes. In which case, the Kur stone which Van Rook stole from the nest of Megalodons was immediately fired away from its position. Van Rook noticed the Kur stone immediately leaving the submarine at quite a fast rate, heading close toward a deep trench.
"No, I can't loose that!" cried Van Rook, "I'm going to enjoy myself in making you pay for this!"
"I don't think so" replied Batman as he threw a batterang, to which it then exploded as it hit the laser gun on Van Rook's wrist, which injured him a bit.
"You're going to regret you ever did that" said Van Rook as he held his wrist which was a bit in pain.
While Van Rook continued to fight with Batman, Aquaman could easily be able to control the Megalodons whom then suddenly stopped from immediately swallowing Van Rook's submarine, and also the Batsub.
"Now that's done, let's see if old Bats needs some help" said Aquaman as he then headed up toward the bridge of the submarine.
As Aquaman made his way up toward where Batman and also Van Rook were fighting. The fighting was getting quite intense after Van Rook soon found out he lost the Kur stone he stole.
"You are certainly going to pay for this" said Van Rook, "I'm going to certainly enjoy doing you in."
"I wouldn't be so sure about that" said Aquaman as he came into the scene and pointed to the large eyes of the Megalodon which was watching the fight, "seems like this Kur stone was responsible in preventing me from controlling my large shark friends, I do so think you would allow us to leave."
"Bah, that doesn't matter, since I got a few tricks up my sleeve" laughed Van Rook as he quickly began to press some buttons on the computer console on the submarine.
Suddenly, the Megalodons began to feel an electric shock, to which made the sharks flee from the area. He then immediately took control of the wheel of the submarine and began to move toward the trench where the Kur stone was located.
"You think I'm finished here?!" laughed Van Rook, "I'm going to get what my client asked me for!"
"Quickly, we have to get out of here and follow this maniac" replied Aquaman.
"Agreed" replied Batman as he put on his scuba gear as they then began to head out of the submarine.
As the two immediately got out of the submarine, Batman immediately got back into his Batsub, and then joined Aquaman into giving chase against Van Rook who was speeding straight toward the trench.
"Bah, those two are at it again!" cried Van Rook as he noticed the two in the computer rear view mirror of the submarine, "Looks like I'm going to have to unleash a few explosive floating mines against these two."
Van Rook then began to press a few buttons on the console, to which in the rear end of the submarine, explosive mines came right out.
"Incoming!" cried Aquaman.
Batman then immediately evaded some of the oncoming explosive mines that were coming straight toward him. Some of the mines went right off, exploding where some rocks nearby began to immediately fall.
"Faster Bats!" cried Aquaman.
"I'm on it" replied Batman as he steered the Batsub away from the falling rocks.
As the Batsub continued to dodge the falling rocks, the two super heroes knew they had to stop Leonidas Van Rook now, or it seems this maniac would certainly upset the balance.
