Chapter 11: Batman Begins

The Docks at night in Gotham. A group of people can be seen loading boxes upon boxes from a metal ship container to several trucks. Around them, armed guards can be seen. 

A fat, bearded man with shoulder length hair walked towards one of the boxes, uses a cutter to open it and pulls out what can be seen as a stuffed animal. He then tears it up open, pulls out a small packet containing some sort of white substance then proceeds to ask the people loading the cargo.

"What is this?" He chuckles. He puts it back then says "Continue!"

He then gets inside a parked car to meet an older man and said; "Looks fine out there."

"The bears go straight to the dealers."

"And the rabbits go to the men in the narrows." The older man replies.

"What's the difference?"

"Ignorance is bliss my friend." The older man says coldly. "Don't burn yourself with these secrets of scary people."

While they are talking in the car, on one side of the metal containers, a man who was about to carry one of the boxes suddenly get dragged into the shadows. One of the guys who were closer to him calls out but does not get a response. He slowly comes closer to where his friend was last seen. Another guy behind him follows but is clearly feeling really nervous. When they get close to the dark area, something shoots through the air, hitting all the nearest light lamp and making the whole area dark. The man picks up what looks to be a metal item shaped like a bat. He looks back to the guy behind him. Only to see him staring straight upwards while his knees shaking. He then looks up and a dark figure suddenly pounces on him knocking him out cold in one punch. The other man freaks out and runs for his life.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaggggghhhhhhh!!!" He screams as he runs for his life. 

One by one the men slowly disappear to the shadows. 

Something was hunting them. They try to regroup but everytime they look away, one of them disappears. 

The fat man tells the older man; "There's a problem out here, you better bail!"

The thugs keep trying to shoot at the shadows but nothing happens. At this point there were only few of them left.

The man keeps shooting in random shadows then proceeds to yell. 

"WHERE ARE YOU!!!!!??????" 

"Here." A voice proclaims silently behind him. *Gugh!* And then his consciousness is gone.

The older man gets out of his car, upset and curious to know what is going on. He proceeds to check his men who were tasked with guarding the area.

What he sees bring fear to his eyes. A dark figure with a silhouette of a man with pointed ears, taking out the men as if they were rag dolls. Each punch knocks out one man. Each kick sends one flying away. It would only take seconds before they are all down for the count. He couldn't stand around anymore for fear of himself being next. He runs toward his car. He tries to tell the driver to get him out of there. But he becomes more afraid. The driver was knocked out.

He hurriedly reloads his shotgun, barely able to load the shells.

"What the hell are you?!" He asks in fear and anger.

The sun roof gets smashed as a hand pulls him up out of the car. The mysterious figure stares him in the face.

"I'm Batman!" 

Then the old man is knocked out. His vision goes dark and all becomes silent again.

The next time the old man wakes up, he is tied to a skybeam search light nearby, along with his men, knocked out surrounding him. The police arrive and get them all arrested.

Hours later.

"We have several reports of a caped figure, beating up drug dealers, rapists, thugs, robbers all over Gotham. Some say it was a giant demon. Others say it was a man with a cape and horns. They say he moved so quick and agile that they barely got a glimpse of him. They say he moves around the shadows. 

According to our sources, Carmine Falcone was arrested this evening along with his men, caught in the act of shipping drugs in the docks. It was reported that he was screaming as he was brought in about a [Batman].

The Commissioner and Gotham PD refuse to make a statement at this time. But the fact is, a masked vigilante is cleaning up Gotham.

Is it a friend or foe? Who is the so called, Batman?
