CHAPTER 14

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.

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.
