Batman Hunted

Chapter 1: A Gentleman's Request

Deep within the Ghost Zone, a top villain from Gotham meets some of the Ghost Zone's most cruelest villains. Among them, Ghost Zone's greatest bounty hunter, Skulker and also some needed new henchmen for Gentleman Ghost include Technus, the Fright Knight and Nocturne.

"Gentlemen, gentlemen, the reason I have all called you three here is because I know you are some of the Ghost Zone's nastiest bunch of ghouls" said Gentleman Ghost.

"So why would you need me for?" asked Skulker, "Skulker doesn't believe that you look like the right cash cow for Skulker."

"That is why I have come to recruit Technus, the Fright Knight and Nocturne to aid me to rob one of Gotham's most high tech banks" replied Gentleman Ghost, "you see, I have a problem with a certain fellow known as Batman. He has been notorious for stopping my crime spree in Gotham, and I need some hired hand to take the Batman down once and for all."

"What does my target look like then?" asked Skulker.

"Here's a photo of him smiling about while yours' truly is in the police van with Nth metal cuffs" said Gentleman Ghost, "with you gentlemen at my side, it's going to take more than Nth metal to take me down."

After a few days of planning, Gentleman Ghost sets his plan into action. One of Gotham's new high tech banks, everything seemed to run smoothly as if it were a normal day in Gotham. Yet suddenly, the computers started to go haywire, with also some of the elite guards starting to fall asleep on the job. Not before long, the Fright Knight busted right into the front door of the scene with Gentleman Ghost right beside him.

"Ah, brilliant work gentlemen, the guards are napping, the computer security systems are haywire just right for the picking" laughed Gentleman Ghost.

"So when will Skulker get paid?" asked Skulker as he appeared before Gentleman Ghost.

"You're target should be arriving in about a few minutes or seconds" replied Gentleman Ghost.

Suddenly the Batmobile roared into the scene with the Batman himself getting out of his vehicle.

"It looks like your haunting days are over" said Batman to his ghostly villains.

"This is the man I'm suppose to hunt, should be simple enough for me" laughed Skulker.

Skulker immediately loaded up his rockets and began to fire at the Batman. The Dark Knight quickly moved around his vehicle which he was using as a cover.

"This is too easy!" laughed Skulker.

"Do not be so sure about the Batman, he is quite crafty" replied Gentleman Ghost, "while you have for fun, the rest of us will head back to the Ghost Zone to reap our rewards."

After robbing the high tech bank in Gotham, as Gentleman Ghost and his new henchmen left excluding Skulker, the Batman couldn't bear to see Skulker managing to destroy his Batmobile. He knew he had some Nth metal-made batterrangs with him so he decided to put them to good use. He threw one of the Nth metal batterangs at where Skulker was firing his weapons from his high tech suit. Skulker was shocked that one of his high-tech weapons had fallen.

"No one humiliates the Skulker in that manner" said Skulker.

Suddenly, a laser popped out of Skulker's suit which then shot the Nth metal-made batterangs from the Batman's hands right on the ground where Skulker immediately fired more of his rockets at them destroying them.

"Ha, now you have nothing to aid you to stop me, which would make my payment easier!" laughed Skulker.

The Batman thought about trying to take on Skulker by himself without any Nth metal in his inventory. It was a bit too risky, so he immediately got into his beaten up Batmobile and started to drive away. But as the Batman looked at the rear mirror he noticed Skulker was right behind him on his jetpack.

"You think you can outrun me, the Skulker?!" laughed Skulker as he was firing his rockets viciously at the Batmobile.

As one of the rockets managed to slam into the Batmobile, the Batman attempted to stir control over his vehicle. It was however going to be of no major use for the Batman. Even as he was coming to a hard turn, he knew he couldn't make it. Instead he immediately was going to have Skulker believed he was going to drown in the water nearby.

"Yes, yes, this is just too much for me" laughed Skulker as he fired another rocket at the Batmobile.

The rocket helped plunge the Batmobile right into the water. Skulker, however, did not realize the Batmobile could be converted into a submarine by Bats. As the Batman sat in his sub, he waited for Skulker to leave the scene thinking the Batman was made food for the fishes. Meanwhile back in the Ghost Zone, Gentleman Ghost was quite happy that he had enough money he could literally buy a mansion or two of his own. As Skulker arrived on the scene, the ghostly bounty hunter expected payment.

"I finished your job" said Skulker, "hand over the payment for the end of the Batman."

"First the evidence" replied Gentleman Ghost.

As Skulker showed the video thanks to his recording on his high tech suit, the Gentleman Ghost was surprised the Batman met his fate by simply drowning instead of ejecting himself from his damaged Batmobile.

"That's a bit odd" said Gentleman Ghost, "I do not think the Batman would allow himself to become fish food so easily."

"What do you mean by that, I saw him crash his vehicle right into the sea!" roared Skulker.

"I am your client, you do not receive a penny from me until your job is done" replied Gentleman Ghost, "but perhaps the Batman is going to go in hiding for now which may raise any sort of payment I have in store for you."

"Fine, Skulker can wait for a bit then" replied Skulker in a reluctant manner.

After that disaster, the Batman had returned to his secret Batcave as he was trying to study the new villains that were the new allies of Gentleman Ghost. He soon came across in his research of an odd town called Amity Park which these ghostly villains were known to frequent. A certain family of ghost hunters known as the Fentons quickly came up with the young son of Jack Fenton resembling the most so-called notorious ghost Danny Phantom.
