Seal of Darkness
CHP5: Destination Gotham
It had been a long night to say the least and busier than expected. Things went smoothly for the most part and great considering it was the Splenda's premier. He was scheduled for another four days straight and wondered just how the crowds would die down, if at all. It was likely to be a big spot for celebrities, business people and tourists, for months to come. It was understandable and loved his position, so wouldn't be so bad once settled in. He was brought out of his thoughts, as the cab stopped beside a street corner. He paid the sixty dollar fee, before exiting out and on his way down the sidewalk.
Unfortunately the forecast proved true and rain drops fell from the skies. Luckily he brought along a jacket, but elected against an umbrella. Shrugging the thought off, he continued down the street, knowing home wasn't far away. Troy Hue lived in Gotham for over two years and still to that day hadn't fully gotten accustomed to it. Gotham was unique in its own way and though he'd been mugged once or twice, there was still good the city had to offer. Troy observed his surroundings, before making his way across the street and into an alleyway. As he took merely five steps, something caught hold of his ankle and he was pulled upside down! Forced to the rooftops, he screamed and struggled the entire way up.
"Troy Hue, I want answers!"
"Bb…Batman!"
The Dark Knight held him up with one arm and on the other, displayed a live hologram view, from a built in function within the gauntlet.
"This woman, who is she? You and another employee, granted her free access into the Splenda tonight."
Troy watched as the caped crusader played the footage.
"I, I don't remember."
"Don't remember? You're clearly one of the two working the particular post in the footage," Batman tightened his grip over the potential suspect.
"It's been a long night and hundreds came through our doorway, and not once did we let anyone in for free! The job means too much and honestly I don't remember ever laying eyes on that woman. I'd remember a pretty piece like that."
Batman pulled him in close, tightening his grip further.
"You're denying this man in the footage is you? I've already run a fascial scan and it came back positive. Decline it, but the footage doesn't lie."
"No, I'm not saying that isn't me, but I swear I don't recall seeing her. And say we did let someone in free, what the hell does it mean to you?! Aren't you supposed to go after the city's worst criminals, or did I hear wrong!" Troy snapped.
"Not when that person is mixed up in a homicide."
"Homicide…wait what, did somebody get killed?"

Class had been out for some time and the moon occupied the sky. Tsukune managed to get around to all of his friends, setting up a time and place for them to meet. It had been quite some time they'd been apart, so looked forward to hearing their stories. His training had been a complete grind and was relieved it was over for the time being. He was happy when Gin agreed to help part time at the academy, given his seaside job in the human world. Things couldn't have gone any smoother and he'd seen everyone. Tsukune had no doubt everyone would show at some point, so didn't worry.
Most students turned in for the night, so worked in his favor. However, with that in mind, he didn't want to be away for long. It was his job as headmaster to look over things. Not wanting to go far, he agreed to have their little get together right inside the gym. Tsukune just finished setting up what remained of the tables, lighting a couple candles. He ran a hand over the side of his head wiping away sweat, with everything looking close to perfect. Walking around, he rubbed his hands together with a grin, satisfied with his handy work.
Everything was flawless, just the way he planned. Within minutes Ruby arrived and was the first of everyone to do so, Tsukune walking across and greeting her in the mid-section of the room. They embraced one another before a door on the other side of the room swung open.
"Moka-san," Tsukune called out, immediately taking off toward her.
Just as he'd done with Ruby, they embraced in a hug. The moment however didn't last for long. An earsplitting sound caught the attention of the three, but couldn't quite figure where it originated. Soon the question of what revealed itself right before their eyes. A bright energy formed and each stayed on high alert.
"What is that thing?" Moka asked.
Neither had an idea so said nothing, not even for a moment taking their eyes off it. With their backs turned, they had no clue another took shape behind them. In seconds, something emerged from behind carrying a weapon and whacking Ruby across the head. She fell forward, unconscious. Moka and Tsukune spun around just in time, to counter another group of individuals that stepped out of what they believed were portals. Just as the one behind them, others surfaced from the one out in front of them.
"Moka-san, stay close and we'll be fine."
"Gotcha," she replied.
Situating themselves back to back, they fought off the incoming enemies. Moka and Tsukune had the obvious upper hand given their vampire strength, senses and agility. They had no idea how to close the portals or how many attackers might emerge. Moka however didn't mind, her vampire nature longed for a battle and welcomed the challenge. A single of them pulled at her hair, and she spun out of their grasp kicking them clear across the room.
One grabbed at Tsukune's throat lifting him up high, but kneed him in the face. Another punched at him from the left, but he grabbed hold of the fist twisting the attacker's arm. He shoved the enemy's face into a nearby wall before throwing him into one of his own. Moka lifted one over her shoulder putting him through a table and leg dropped another that came at her.
Tsukune hated how the evening kicked off, but there was no one he'd rather fight alongside than Moka. All they had to do was hang on for a little while longer and the rest of the group would arrive. A total of ten persons stepped through the portals before both closed and there was someone in particular Tsukune stared down, never taking his eyes off him.
The individual in question had a red horizontally slit pupil eye and green vertically slit pupil eye. He had silver hair similar to Moka's, which extended a little past his ears. And long messy bangs covering portions of his face. Tsukune knew exactly who he was, but wondered what he was doing inside the Yokai realm, and at that time of all times!
"Hello Aono...you seem surprised to see me."
"Yoshii Kiria! What are you doing here? What is the meani..."
Tsukune was knocked over the head before he could finish, falling to his knees. Another kicked at his face before he had any time to react. Kiria laughed as a result enjoying every second of it.
"I'd love nothing more than to stay and beat up on you all night, but unfortunately that isn't why we're here. In fact it is your girlfriend we've come for."
Tsukune was kneed in the stomach having the breath knocked out of him. Due to the vampire blood running through his veins, he recovered quickly.
"Do you mean Moka-san?" Tsukune murmured, standing with tightened fists.
"Yes, of course. But I'm not going to stand here and go through all the details with you, it'd be futile. Anyhow, I didn't come here to waste time talking, you'll be dealt with at a later time."
"What the hell do you want with Moka-san?! Does this have to do with Fairy Tale?!"
Tsukune ran toward him, but the path cut off as a few guards jumped out in front, keeping him from attacking. Kiria looked up in time, just as the silver haired vampire came down over the top of him.
"Know your place!"
He dodged her signature kick and from behind she was tackled out of the air, by one of his minions. She fought three of them off, and Tsukune immediately ran in her direction. Before he could side with Moka, he was electrified by a special pole one enemy carried and then knocked unconscious.
"Tsukune!" Moka shouted.
Just as him, she was electrified by the same weapon, but by three at once dropping to her knees. In a position that suited them, they took advantage, kicking at the downed target.
"Make your little fun short, and when you're done bring her back to base. The boss wants us back soon as possible." Kiria said, uncovering a small device.
Most the group surrounded him, whilst only three prolonged with beating on Moka.
"Boss...what do you mean? I thought you were the new leader of Fai..."
Moka's head was forced into the ground before she could finish. In the press of a button Kiria and most the group disappeared. With only three of them, Moka was more than certain she'd be able to overpower them. She jumped up to attack, but was again electrified by their weapons and felt similar to being struck by water. She questioned if their weapons were specially designed to combat against vampires. They knocked her around for a little while longer before having enough. Each laughed, as they stood over her body.
"Fun as it would be to jerk around with her a little longer, the boss will get pissed if we don't hurry and return. Besides, we could risk the chance some of her other buddies show."
Moka laid out on her side; eyes closed remaining in that position. She wanted them to drop their guard and then strike at the perfect moment. One of them reached down lifting her up by the arm and another of them pulled out a small device similar to what Kiria carried. Seeing that as her opportunity, she lashed out at the one carrying the small device, biting into his shoulder! He fell back with Moka ending up on top of him, during which the device activated and the two disappeared in a flash of light. The two remaining henchmen looked at one another.
"Hey uhmm, the coordinates on that thing were set to boom us back to base right?"
"Pretty sure it was, we'll know for certain when we return. I brought an extra in case something like this happened, I just had a feeling," the individual pulled out a teleportation device.
In one click he and his accomplice were gone, leaving behind an unconscious Tsukune and Ruby.

Moka and the lone enemy re appeared on a sidewalk, rain pouring heavily over the top of them. He forced her teeth out of his shoulder elbowing her in the face. She rolled off to the side, crying out in pain due to the raindrops making contact with her body.
"You stupid bitch! See what you did," He stood situating a hand over the open wound, "You altered our course and for some damn reason this shit is fried!" He walked over kicking at her as she lied out over the ground.
She was already nearly soaked and if she didn't get herself from out in the open, would be done for. The attacker stepped back taking a look around. It took a couple moments, but soon recognized the landscape.
"Well I'll be damned, guess the travel wasn't so random after all. Must have forgotten to set the defaults back to base after our past visit here."
"Whaaa. What are you talking about? Where are we?" Moka questioned, as she struggled to stand.
"The human world my dear. And this city is where it'll all go down. The seal will be broken and the birth of a new kingdom. And you're going to help us."
"To hell with that," Moka hissed, as thunder struck in the clouds.
If she waited any longer, she wouldn't have the strength to take him down so the vampire acted fast. She blitzed forward, knocking his head into a fire hydrant, knocking him out. Moka fell to a knee trying to catch her breath, realizing how much and how quickly the rain drained her. Forcing herself up with all the strength in her legs, she took the small device into her hand placing it into the side of her pocket. The enemy confirmed they were in the human world, but not where. There was nothing about the surrounding that she was familiar with. She continued forward and eventually a bright blue light came into view. It was large glowing letters plastered over a building, out in the distance. It seemed to be at the heart of the city and read "Wayne Enterprises."
"Where am I?" Moka whispered.
Atop one of the taller buildings in town, someone observed the city as it continued to pour. Troy Hue was unable to give him any information regarding the mystery woman and left only one individual to question. Doing what he did night in and out, he was used to questioning and interrogating criminals. In ways, he had a great feel for when someone spoke the truth or had something to hide, and strangely during his chat with Troy got the sense he was honest. That however didn't completely clear the individual and might even pay a future visit, depending the night's events and progression of his investigation.
For the past couple minutes reflected on what he knew thus far, trying to put the pieces together, but were still too many holes and questions. Mind set on his next order of business, the Dark Knight leaned forward dropping off the building's ledge gliding in route to the next destination. In minutes he arrived atop an apartment complex altering the mode of his lenses within the cowl. Right away, he located his target diving off the rooftop and smashing through a glass window! The suspect stood in the kitchen area dropping and accidently shattering a plate upon setting eyes on the caped crusader.
"Batman! The front door would have sufficed, you could have just knocked."
"Rey Mosely, I have questions and want answers," Batman said, setting his lenses back to standard mode.
"Go ahead and shoot," Rey replied.
"Earlier this evening you worked the South entry hall to the Classic Splenda."
"Yeah, what of it?"
"I already spoke with Troy Hue, assigned alongside you," Batman stepped forward pressing down at the hidden panel within his gauntlet, bringing up a small hologram screen. Immediately Batman played the footage obtained from the Splenda's security system through the bat computer. "Clearly both you and Troy allowed this woman free access into the ball room and more importantly you didn't authorize her for identification."
Rey took a step forward running a hand through his hair, taking a closer look at the footage.
"None of this makes sense, yes I can clearly see that's us in the footage, but I don't recall speaking with or seeing that woman tonight. Granting someone free access into something like this and being the opener of all things would result in instant termination. Neither I, nor Troy would risk it. Not to go off topic, but something like this doesn't seem like your line of work. Usually you're tracking the big fry of Gotham."
"Perhaps...but this woman was involved in a murder," Batman informed.
"Ah what?!"
For various moments the Dark Knight didn't speak, shutting off the hologram screen in a click. Just as Troy, Ced Hensz didn't recall setting eyes or even speaking with the woman. Obviously both would have to be taken in for further questioning, but he didn't like it one bit where things had gone to that point. The footage didn't lie; no matter what each claimed, the recording put them in her presence. But was there more to it? Were their memories somehow altered? Highly unlikely, but at that point he wouldn't eliminate any possibilities.
"Troy said the same."
"Huh?"
"Regarding the woman, you don't remember speaking with or giving away a ticket to the ballroom. You aren't under arrest...well at least not yet. I'll do what I can to sort this all out. But try and skip town or hide, and I will find you." Batman turned, looking to the window he crashed through.
Rey nodded gulping as a reaction. Batman disappeared through the window into the darkness. Rey shook his head knowing, he'd have to get the window repaired ASAP, but more importantly was under investigation. He thought long and hard but no matter how hard he tried and wanted to remember, there just wasn't anything there. The woman in question was a complete blur and had never set eyes on her. Diving off a rooftop and into the batmobile, the dark knight pressed at a button, activating a small screen.
"Alfred."
"Yes, I can hear you loud and clear sir. Have you gathered anything further?"
"Yes and no. I got around to questioning both Troy and Rey, both giving the same answer. They have no recollection of the woman, and is the same answer Ced Hensz gave. I'm going to get to the bottom of this Alfred. I thought maybe she was a potential victim of Kidnapping at Luke's crime scene, but doesn't look that way. There are far too many factors in play here; red flags pointing in her direction," Batman informed.
"Oh dear, sounds troubling."
"At this time I won't be able to forward any footage from the Splenda over to Gordon. Due to jurisdictions and city law, they would be unable to use the footage in their investigation until obtained through a warrant, or collaborating with Kim Soye, the Splenda's owner."
"Then you've got a long night ahead of you sir, is there anything I can do to help from my end?"
"No. I'll keep in contact," Batman replied.
"Be careful sir."
With those final words Batman shut off the small screen, stepping on the gas and taking off towards downtown Gotham.

"You idiots! So you have no clue where they ended up?!" Kiria yelled, heated.
Both individuals had nothing to say, lowered heads and all.
"No need to get upset Kiria, it is merely a minor setback."
"But Master!" Kiria retorted.
"You heard our majesty, it's no big deal."
Someone approached from a dark corner of the room, long pink hair tied back in a black bow, fair skin, and orange eyes. She wore a large Victorian-styled gown in the color of black.
"Aka...Akasha Bloodriver!" Kiria bit back.
"Yes," The leading member spoke sitting back, "She was the first recruit, or could say revived and under my control to do whatever I tell her. Which should be evident by looking into her eyes."
"You have the power to resur..."
"There are many things I can do Kiria. Stick around and you will soon see. Within Gotham City lies the key to world domination, which we will soon obtain. A dark kingdom from within, waiting to be unlocked."
