The incription was more complex this time, but Boba Fett knew his helmet would have no trouble hacking the security system of the new Momento Mori base, Wayne Manor. Fett liked attacking the Momento Mori Army; they provided just enough challenge to make it sporting. As Fett was recalling their first battle together, he noticed his helmet falter for a split second, then continue cracking the code. What the hell was that? He thought, then suddenly realized what had happened. With the reflexes of a Mandolorian, he sprang out of the way as three automated turrets sprang from the side of the mansion and begin letting off a spray of bullets. He quickly pulled his blasters from their holsters and destroyed two of the turrets, but before he could blast the last turret, he was caught in the chest by a hail of bullets. He was knocked to the ground and winded, but he still rolled out of the way as the turret rounded on his new location. Just as he was reaching for a thermal detonator, the turret exploded in a shower of sparks. “Lucky for you I passed by,” said Alucard from behind, “Or else we’d be captain-less right about now.”
“Quiet freak,” Fett said, standing up. “I had the situation under control.”
“It looked to me like you were getting your ass handed to you by simple human defenses. What do you have to say to that?”
“Catch.” said Fett simply, tossing a detonator at Alucard. The resulting blast would have awoken the residents of Wayne Manor, had they not already been alerted of their uninvited guests that had set off the mansions alarm by trying to hack the security system.
Protoman quietly crept down the corridors of the manor towards the source of the explosion. He soon reached a gaping hole in the side of the house.
“Bruce is gonna be pissed…” he started, then noticed a movement behind him. Before he could react, he was flung forward by a kick in the back. He quickly recovered and rolled around to see… Nothing. He searched the darkness again and noticed a spot of white moving amongst the shadows. Realizing what this must mean, he sent sonic waves from his blaster. With a horrible screech, Venom fell to the ground and began to melt off of Eddie Brock. Stepping forward, Protoman switched his blaster to its flame emitter setting and sent the alien life form to a fiery doom. He then looked up at Eddie.
“Start running.” he said, switching his blaster back to its regular setting and taking aim.
Alucard moved around the house in shadows until he came to a room of interest. A large room the was empty save a fireplace, a lone chair, and a desk in the corner. But the most interesting thing was the large portrait of a couple that hung over the fire place.
“The killed that Bruce feels over the loss of his parents causes Bruce much pain,” said a voice behind Alucard. He whipped around to find Ivan Isaac sitting at the desk.
“Where the hell did you come from?” said Alucard.
“Life causes much pain,” Isaac continued, “Please, allow me to ease yours.”
“Didn’t you learn anything from last time?” said Alucard.
“Oh, believe me,” said Isaac, drawing his shotguns, “I did.” He let off a shot at Alucard, who didn’t move, expecting a normal shotgun blast. He cried out in pain as he realized the folly of not dodging a silver imbued bullet. A roar rose from his throat, but failed to emerge as the next blast removed Alucards head. As Alucards remains attempted to reform, Isaac pulled a stick of dynamite from his coat and lit the fuse.
“Peace be with you,” he said, throwing the dynamite and retreating from the room. “Amen.”
Protoman wandered the halls of the Manor, searching for his next victim. Suddenly he saw a blur flash past him. He whipped around and was blown back by a blinding flash of light. As his vision cleared, he saw Trunks standing over him, sword drawn.
“Bastard!” he cried, leaping at the half-Saiyan and generating his cyber sword. Trunks summoned his energy and covered his sword with energy as he swung it to parry Protomans blow. Protoman readied for another attack and rushed Trunks…only to be blown back as Trunks went Super Saiyan. Before he could even blink, Trunks had rushed forward and sliced Protoman clean in half. Protomans sword flickered and died as Trunks raced down the halls of Wayne Manor.
Boba Fett stalked from room to room, tracking down the nearest life form. Down the next hall he detected a tall heat source standing out in the open. Sensing a trap, he readied his blasters and rounded the next corner. He was met by an army of skeletons. They swarmed upon him and held him so that he couldn’t move.
“That racket you made when you entered,” said Doctor Faust, turning to meet the famed hunter, “Was enough to wake the dead.” He produced a staff with an enormous razor blade attached and swung it high above his head. Fett quickly sprouted blades from the side of his arm, which cut clean through the hand of the skeleton holding his arm. He raised his blaster pistol at Faust, but the Doctor had already summoned skeletons to block the shot. As Fett battled more skeletons to regain his freedom, he detected Faust escaping down another corridor. He failed to notice the priest walking up behind him. He heard the priest readying his machine gun and whipped around to see the priest standing there with a look of utter pain on his face. His eyes traveled to the holy mans chest, where a gloved hand was jutting out. As the priest fell to the floor, Alucard began to laugh.
“Just returning the favor, holy man. So Fett,” he said to the bounty hunter, who was turning to pursue the necromancer who had eluded him, “You can thank me later for saving your ass again.” The Mandolorian ignored him and continued his hunt as Alucard melted into the floor.
