Strong Promise of the Bat's Determination
(Dreamscape)
Kōmori is seen as a 12-year-old boy doing some marital art training with Dick Grayson, also known as Nightwing, while Bruce and Alfred are watching near the Bat-computer.
Dick is blocking each of Komori midair kicks and swipe kick his right foot before it could even touch the ground surprising the hero-in-training, but he wouldn't give up that easily as he used the momentum and throw a kick right to the head that seem to have hit the mark. But he became shocked when he saw that Dick has reacted faster in blocking the attack with his arm, Komori tries to throw a punch, the first sidekick of Batman saw that coming and grabs the arm for a strong judo throw.
Komori groans in pain from the attack and look up at Dick who smiles down at him.
"Ready to give up yet?" Dick asked.
"Not yet, I still got one last ounce of strength in me." Komori said and twirl kick himself up making Dick jump back.
"Here I come!" Komori charged.
Komori jumped at Dick who prepare himself for whatever the kid is doing and counter it though to his surprise his sparring partner suddenly disappeared right in front of his eyes, and Komori is now on his right side throwing a strong and fast punch right to the face. However, Dick instant caught the punch in his hand and backhand punch Komori making him stumble back, and then without reacting on time, Dick performs a combo move and knock him down again.
"That's enough." Bruce called the end of the match.
"Damn, I almost had you that time." Komori winced a bit.
"You definitely did, kid. That way you made yourself disappeared like that was certainly I was expecting." Dick complimented as he holds out his hand to Komori.
"It's a little technique I learned from a scroll, to conceal your whole presence by clearing your mind and even stopping the heart for just a moment. That last part is very hard to do." Komori explained, accepting the hand and got up.
"That technique is the stealthiest move to use when going for infiltration missions or going against enemies that are far stronger than you, it is a risky move to use continuously." Bruce stated walking up to them.
"Yeah, especially the part where you have to stay conscious to sneak around." Komori chuckled.
"I can see you're getting better with Bruce's training. You're catching on way faster than most of us who were trained by the world's greatest detective for years." Dick complimented.
"I don't know about that; I'm just working hard to become a strong ninja of justice to protect the innocent from the shadows and punish the evil while also making sure I don't lose myself to the darkness too much like Red Hood." Komori believed.
"That's good to hear, Master Komori." Alfred smiled, bring him a bottle of water and a towel.
"You also must never forget to have a very strong will to fight through whatever you face, to even escape death in order to continue on the mission." Bruce advised.
"Yes, sir!" Komori said strongly.
Then the BAT-ALAM went off in the large computer and Bruce quickly check to see what the alam is about.
"Bane and Killer Croc are stealing the bank's vault, and I mean the whole thing." Bruce informed.
"Time to suit up!" Komori held up his fist, ready for action in Gotham City.
"Mind if I tag along for this. I want to see how the kid can handle against those pros of the bad." Dick volunteered to come.
"I think that would be wise to have Nightwing with us. Those two together are a force not to underestimate, plus they also have their goons with them." Komori agreed.
"Alright, let's go!" Bruce said as he puts on the Batman mask.
The scene changes to Komori and Dick in their hero uniform ready for action as they run toward the vehicles.
Then everything went white right before Komori's eyes.
(Dreamscape)
Komori slowly open his eyes from his unconscious state as his first sight is a ceiling and slowly move his head to look around, finding out that he must be in a nurse office and try to see if he can move his body though felt something on his lower torso and left arm. He turns his head to the left seeing Asuka sleeping on his body while sitting on a chair, he then remembers that he had his duel with Daidouji as the edge of the secret Shinobi training forest.
"Oh man, that woman was really amazing." Komori smiled.
He gently moves his right arm while being careful not to move it too fast since he can feel some pain in the fist hand from the collision of their final attack, and patted Asuka on the head.
"No, grandpa. That's now allow, quite trying to make us do perverted stuff." Asuka groaned, talking in her sleep.
"Not exactly what I wanted to hear from someone in their sleep, but still cute seeing her sleep like that." Komori complimented and poked her cheek a little.
Then poking has made Asuka wake up from her sleep and open her eyes looking at Komori finding him to be awake as well.
"Komori, you're awake!" Asuka jumped at Komori, giving him a hug, with his face onto her breasts.
"Ah, great to see you too, Asuka." Komori chuckled and blushed of having his face onto a girl's bosoms.
"Hey Asuka, we heard you shouting." Hibari said as she and the others including the Gessen Shinobi girls walked into the nurse office.
"Does that mean Komori is awake?" Hibari asked, and then she and the others are shock of seeing Asuka hugging Komori like that.
"Asuka, I had no idea you can be so forward with someone." Murakumo surprised a little.
Asuka looks down and realizes what she is doing to Komori causing her face to turn red of embarrassment and quickly let go of him as she back away.
"I-I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do it!" Asuka apologized.
"No, no, it's fine. You were just concern for my well-being, that's all." Komori assured while his face is still blushing.
"Oh man, I wanted my boobs to be snuggle on his face." Katsuragi winced groping her breasts a little.
"You do remember we are here comfort him." Ikagura reminded her classmate.
"Man, how long was I out?" Komori asked.
"You've been asleep since yesterday, it's about over 12:30 now." Yumi answered.
"Damn, Daidouji really know when to unleash that awesome strength of hers." Komori chuckled.
"Thanks, I do my best to make sure I'm always at hundred percent when a battle is about to be unleash." Daidouji smirked, walking in has a bandage on her on nose.
"Hello Daidouji, I see you're walking around great as expected of the strongest Shinobi." Komori smiled.
"Thanks, even when I'm beaten, I always get right back up." Daidouji said as tiny blushes appeared.
"To be honest, we thought she would just up and leave like she always does whenever she is finish with her business to continue her training and we don't see her for a quite a long time." Yagyu explained.
"I told you that the kid's attack did more damage on my body than I realize, so I'm just resting." Daidouji pointed out.
"Yeah, more like he wants to get to know our handsome human-Dracula." Shiki teased and Katsurgi giggled.
"Did you two say something?" Daidouji send a scary glare making the girls shiver in fear.
"No, nothing at all! Just enjoying our day." Katsuragi and Shiki said at the same time, not wanting to receive the painful blow from her fists.
"Well, I'm happy to see you are doing well, Mr. Wayne." Kiriya walked in as well.
"Wow, it suddenly feels like a party now." Komori joked.
"And we can't have a party without food which is what I have!" Minori presented him some sweets in a basket.
"Since you missed dinner last night and breakfast this morning, you must be very hungry, so I wipe up some tasty treats for your starving belly." Minori smiled in a very cute way.
"Aw, that's very thoughtful of you though I think I would like to have something before dessert." Komori said.
"Which is why I helped make this box lunch." Yozakura handed him the box lunch showing the meal inside.
"Wow, this sure looks good. You must be an excellent, almost like an amazing housewife." Komori complimented making Yozakura blush of shock.
"I-It's no big deal, I just help out with the cooking back at the academy and take care of my little brothers back home too." Yozakura explained.
"We never got to have the picnic together when Daidouji interrupted us, so we might as well have it here while you're recovering." Yumi explained the plan for today.
"Actually, I think it would be better to have it back at the training field than here." Komori suggested as he slowly gets off the bed.
"Wait, you should be up so soon! You're still recovering from the battle with Daidouji, you should just stay in bed and rest." Asuka scolded as she tries to push Komori back on the bed, but he pushes her hands away.
"Don't worry, I promise not to push myself further than walking. My Master have always taught me to be careful with my body at times." Komori mentioned.
"Well, in that case." Hibari excited.
(Secret Shinobi Training Field)
"Let us resume the picnic!" Hibari and Minori declared as everyone is sitting down on the picnic blanket.
"Hmm, this is really amazing!" Komori smiled upon eating the lunch Yozakura made.
"Hey, you girls are any saki?" Daidouji asked.
"No, we're underage, but I hope you don't mind water or soda." Ikagura presented the two bottles to the delinquent woman.
"He, I'll take the soda." Daidouji took the soda bottle and drinks it.
Komori looks around seeing how everyone is enjoying themselves a good time as this have brought some memories of his time with Bruce and the Bat Family of how they would enjoy peaceful times like this before going on missions, Komori remembers the time when he would go to an anime convention for extra fun.
The young ninja man stands up and walk toward the edge of the cliff looking toward of the forest and toward the horizon, all while holding a strong smile on his face.
"Is everything alright, Komori?" Yumi asked walking up to him behind as the others look to Komori.
"Just fine. In fact, better than ever you could say since my battle with Daidouji have helped me remember what it means to carry on the bat symbol on my chest, a legacy I promised the man who I see as my master and father to wear it with pride and honor." Komori clutched his fists, shaking of excitement.
"That I not only have to become vengeance for those who are tortured by those who abuse their powers, but to become the knight of darkness to give those people hope that they never have to fear the night again. That's the kind of justice I'm striving to be." Komori held his fist in the air.
"That sounds like an amazing goal, almost like my goal to carry on justice." Yumi smiled.
"Then you better get stronger to continue on that justice of yours." Daidouji patted Komori on the back hard almost making fall off the cliff.
"Hey, Komori! You got to hurry and try these sweets before Minroi and me eat them all!" Hibari called out.
"Coming!" Komori said walking back to the picnic blanket.
Komori enjoy having fun at the picnic with the others until suddenly, something started beeping loud coming from Asuka's school bag.
"Oh no, not again." Asuka took out Komori's IPhone seeing the Bat symbol blinking red, yellow, and orange.
"I see you have my phone." Komori gestured her to hand over her phone.
"Yeah, I thought you wouldn't mind if I kept it with me, but then there is this weird alarm going off last night and I don't know how to turn it off." Asuka explained as she handed the phone back to its owner.
"It's an alarm system I installed into my phone that alert me of any trouble that is going on within the city." Komori explained as he pressed his thumb on the screen and it open, stopping the alarm.
"And it looks like I have a case to look into, if I'm excuse for the day, Sensei." Komori looked at Kiriya.
"Go ahead, today is the weekend after all." Kiriya said.
"Aw, but we were about to play some games." Hibari pouted and Komori petted her hand.
"Sorry, but as my Master always said: villains don't take breaks, and neither do I." Komori repeated the words Bruce would offend said back in the world.
Yagyu look at the scene feeling jealous and angry that Komori is touching Hibari's head like a pet, not wanting to see her favorite pink-haired friend/sister to be treated like that but then her thoughts were interrupted when Komori petted her head as well.
"Be sure to help look after everyone, okay?" Komori smiled.
"S-Sure." Yagyu said blushing a little.
"Okay, I'll probably be back by dinner time… Or breakfast." Komori said before throwing a smoke bomb, instantly vanishing from their sight.
"You know, Kiriya-Sensei, I think he does the smoke bomb vanish better than you." Katsuragi said.
"I think you're right." Kiriya chuckled.
(Somewhere in the Dark Part of Japan)
A thug-looking man is seen running for his life trying to get away from the one who is chasing him, but it is not the police or some other crocks he pissed off in the past though he really wishes that it was the police to take him away to jail. Taking him away from the freak that is following him with the creepy eerie laugh echoing through the walls of the alleyway, he can feel the laugh is getting louder meaning the bastard is catching up.
The man bump into a trashcan knocking down without even caring as he is trying to stay alive and sweat is coming down from his head to his face.
"Yoo-woo! Bestie, come out, come out, wherever you are!" A creepy-like voice called out.
"Get the hell away from me!" The thug shouted before bumping into a brick wall.
The thug started to panic and look to his right seeing the path still going on and ran into it, looking back a little not seeing anyone yet so far, but he knew the guy is chasing him thinking this is some sort of game.
"Oh, come now, I thought you wanted to play, and we were having such a fun time together too." The voice said.
The thug kept running and running to get away from the freak, but his fear only grew bigger when he stumbles upon a dead end and there is no way out of and turned around upon seeing the shadowy figure slowly marching towards him.
"Now, how about a new game." The figure holds out a knife.
"Please, stop! I said I was sorry about the insult about your outfit." The thug apologized while panicking.
"Oh no, I'm not upset about that, it just when it comes to making a joke… you need to make sure they get the point!" The figure threw the knife fast.
The thug screamed loud as he is about to be killed by a freaky kid he only met a few minutes ago and is going to have a knife on his head, only for the "knife" to bounce off his head revealing that the knife is a fake.
"Huh?" The thug confused looking at the fake and up finding the figure is gone.
Just as he sighed in relief thinking his lift has been spared, he couldn't be anymore wrong.
"Ever try the "Knife Down the Throat" trick?" The figure asked suddenly appearing to the thug's right.
Before the thug could react, the figure grabbed him by the back of the head then stabbed a real knife down the mouth and through the throat causing him to cough in pain for a moment until he died.
"Aw, looks like you don't." The figure pretended to feel sad and let the now dead thug drop to the ground.
The figure now reveal himself to be Jaakuna Warai as he let out his dangerous and terrifying laugh.
"Now, let see if there is any more fun around here." Jaakuna Warai smiled dangerously walking away from the dead body.
