Charlie is sitting on a couch while Dark Knight and Canari stands in front of him.
CHARLIE
What are you guys doing here?
DRAK KNIGHT
I told you...we're here to rescue you.
CANARI
But I thought we came to get the Knight Mobile back.
Dark Knight looks at Canari.
DARK KNIGHT
Shut up, Robin! You're not supposed to tell him that.
CANARI
(upset)
Sorry, Dark Knight.
CHARLIE
You just came to get your stupid car?
Dark Knight grabs Charlie by the collar of his shirt with both hands and lifts him up, pressing him against the wall.
DARK KNIGHT
You listen to me, punk. Since the truth is already out, I may as well come clean. Yes, I came just to get my Knight Mobile. I can care less about you, let alone, saving your punk ass.
CHARLIE
PUT ME DOWN!
Charlie struggles to break free, but Dark Knight slams him against the wall.
CHARLIE
Oooof!
DARK KNIGHT
Shut up! I'm not finished talking! I always get back what's mine and no punk ass is going to stop me from doing so, especially an oblivious kid such as yourself.
Dark Knight releases Charlie.
DARK KNIGHT
And my Knight Mobile is not stupid.
CANARI
It got real up in here, son.
DARK KNIGHT
Shut up, Canari!
CANARI
Sorry, Dark Knight.
Charlie fixes his shirt.
CHARLIE
You're very passionate about your things.
DARK KNIGHT
I'll punch you in the face right now, mother fucker.
CHARLIE
I'll stop...Just don't get your panties in a bunch.
Canari pants get tighter and he starts smiling.
DARK KNIGHT
I don't wear panties.
Canari stops smiling and his pants became more looser.
CHARLIE
But tell me something...how were you able to find me?
DARK KNIGHT
I installed a chip in the Knight Mobile. That way I can track it down whenever, wherever.
Charlie stands up and begins to look around the room.
CHARLIE
Speaking of that, where are we?
DARK KNIGHT
You don't know where you are?
CHARLIE
Not really. I kind of have an idea, but not too sure anymore.
DARK KNIGHT
We're at-
CANARI
City Hall!
Dark Knight looks at Canari.
DARK KNIGHT
(sarcasm)
Thanks, Canari. Thank you for interrupting me while I'm talking.
CANARI
No problem, Batman.
CHARLIE
You're an idiot.
DARK KNIGHT
(Sigh) You know what, Canari? You deserve a special gift. Later on, remind me to give you a punch in the face. That way, the gift of common sense might be approved by your inferior mind.
CANARI
I don't get it.
DARK KNIGHT
(Of course you don't get it.) Never mind.
CANARI
OK.
Dark Knight turns away from Canari.
DARK KNIGHT
Idiot.
CHARLIE
Wait a minute! Did you say we're at City Hall?
DARK KNIGHT
Yes. Am I surrounded by idiots?
CHARLIE
That's right.
DARK KNIGHT
That's the reason why you guys are responding to me with stupid answers.
CHARLIE
No, not that. I just remembered that I'm at City Hall.
Dark Knight smacks his forehead.
Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere.
CHARLIE
My dad is here, at City Hall.
Charlie begins to smile.
CHARLIE
That's why I came here.
DARK KNIGHT
Your dad?
CHARLIE
Yeah. I have to go find him.
Charlie begins to walk toward the room’s entrance, but Dark Knight grabs Charlie by the shoulder.
CHARLIE
What are you doing?
DRAK KNIGHT
Charlie? What's your name?
CHARLIE
What?
DARK KNIGHT
What's your name?
Charlie looks back at Dark Knight to witness the serious expression on his face.
CHARLIE
Are you serious?
DARK KNIGHT
Yes.
DARK KNIGHT
You already know my name. You just said it.
DARK KNIGHT
(frustrated)
YOUR FULL NAME, MORON!
CHARLIE
Oh! Why didn't you say so in the first place? My same is Charlie Breao.
DARK KNIGHT
Breao, huh?
CAHRLIE
Yeah. Is there a problem?
DARK KNIGHT
So I was right.
CHARLIE
Right about what?
DARK KNIGHT
Do you know what your father do for a living?
CHARLIE
Of course I do. My father is a great scientist. He invented a way for me to think better.
DARK KNIGHT
It seems as though that invention was a failure.
CHARLIE
What?
Dark Knight removes his hand off of Charlie's shoulder.
DARK KNIGHT
Albert Breao...
CHARLIE
That's my father. So you know him?
DARK KNIGHT
Everyone knows your father, Charlie. Your father is indeed a scientist, but not the kind you believe he is.
CHARLIE
What do you mean?
DARK KNIGHT
Your father is the president of a corporation named Dilemma Association Halzac a.k.a. "DAH." His corporation do experiments on living people to get the best results. He's turning people into Zombies.
CHARLIE
That's not true! That's impossible!
Charlie falls to his knees in despair.
CANARI
Anything's possible for a possible.
DARK KNIGHT
(confused)
What?
CANARI
Sorry. Wrong reference.
DARK KNIGHT
Shut up, Canari. Now is not the time.
CHARLIE
Why has my father been doing such a thing?
Dark Knight looks at Charlie.
DARK KNIGHT
That, I do not know. But I do know we have to get you to a safe place.
CHARLIE
This place isn't safe?
Charlie stands up.
DARK KNIGHT
No, it's not. Now, hand me my keys.
CHARLIE
I don't exactly have your keys.
DARK KNIGHT
What do you mean you don't exactly have my keys?
CHARLIE
(Sigh) I don't have them!
DARK KNIGHT
But you took the Knight Mobile!
CHARLIE
But I didn't drive the Knight Mobile here.
DARK KNIGHT
Then who has the keys?
CHARLIE
My friend, Logan.
Charlie and Dark Knight gets surprised from what Charlie just said.
DARK KNIGHT
Did you say Logan?!
CHARLIE
That's right! (That son of a bitch knocked me out when we got here. He must've carried me to this room and left me here.)
DARK KNIGHT
Charlie, where's Logan?
CHARLIE
I don't know.
Suddenly, the room door flew off the hinges and crashes into the wall. Afterwards, it falls to the floor. Charlie, Dark Knight, and Canari looks at the room's entrance.
LOGAN
I'm right here, bub.
CHARLIE
LOGAN?!
LOGAN
Did you miss me?
DARK KNIGHT
Logan!
Logan slowly walks in the room and stops in front of the door way facing them.
LOGAN
Well, well, well. If it isn't Dark Knight.
Logan looks at Canari.
LOGAN
Looks like you brought your homosexual sidekick to the party... Canari the Fairy.
CANARI
My name is just Canari, jackass!
LOGAN
It doesn't matter. You know what you are.
CANARI
Logan, give me my keys.
LOGAN
That's not going to happen, bub. But I can give you a quick and easy death.
DARK KNIGHT
Over my dead body.
LOGAN
That's the idea.
Dark Knight takes a ball from out of his pocket and throws it on the ground. It causes a smokescreen that covers the entire room. Logan covers his eyes.
LOGAN
You bastard! You won't get away!
The smoke clears, but Charlie, Dark Knight, and Canari are still in the room.
LOGAN
Really?
Charlie looks at Dark Knight.
CHARLIE
Why the hell you do that?!
DARK KNIGHT
It was supposed to be a distraction. That way, we could make our escape.
CHARLIE
So, why didn’t we escape?
Dark Knight looks at Charlie.
DARK KNIGHT
I thought he was going to run out of the room and chase after us.
CHARLIE
Nobody ever leaves when they know their target is in the area! Besides, if he were to do that, what would've been our next plan of action?!
DARK KNIGHT
I can only do one step at a time. Cut me some slack.
LOGAN
Enough talk! You're mine!
Logan charges at Charlie, but Dark Knight gets in between them and punches Logan in the face. Logan flies back and crashes into the wall.
DARK KNIGHT
Charlie, get out of here! Canari and I will hold him off!
Dark Knight looks at Canari and sees his pants getting tighter.
DARK KNIGHT
On second thought, I'll hold him off.
CHARLIE
You don’t have to tell me twice!
Charlie quickly exits the room.
DARK KNIGHT
Take Canari with you!
CHARLIE
NO!
LOGAN
You just made a big mistake.
Logan stands up and quickly extracts his blades from his fists.
DARK KNIGHT
We'll see about that.
Dark Knight and Logan charge at each other.
(Meanwhile)
Charlie is running in the hallway.
CHARLIE
I need to find my father. He got some explaining to do.
Suddenly, he sees two Zombies running toward him.
CHARLIE
Oh shit!
Charlie stops running and prepares himself to fight the Zombies.
CHARLIE
BRING IT ON!
The Zombies quickly run pass Charlie.
ZOMBIE #2
These GAYBLADES are mine!
ZOMBIE #1
Their BEYBLADES! Now, give them back!
CHARLIE
(confused)
What the hell is going on here?
Afterwards, Charlie continues running down the hallway.
