Chapter 4 - Chapter 4: Stopping A Bioassault

Gotham City, 2027

A team of ninjas was at The Gotham Harbor, picking up a secret package at Warehouse 15. What is this "Secret Package"? Well, it's a deadly bioweapon called Alpha 23. The name may not sound dangerous, but it's affects are an entirely different story. First, you start feeling nausea, then vertigo, difficulty to breath and finally, cardiac arrest.

About fifty-two Gotham residence have already died of it. The deadly poison kicks in so rapidly, there isn't time to analyze a sample and develop a cure. And the person controlling these recent ninja operations in the city is exploiting this fact. Among the deceased people, were twenty officers of The GCPD. But these ninjas haven't fought the Batman yet.

Down In The Batcave

The Batcomputer beeped, showing a fight between the ninjas and The GCPD.

"Alert! Firefight at the Gotham Harbor."

Bruce suddenly got a few flashbacks to his training, prior to becoming Batman.

Flashback-Chinese Island

He was on the beach, training with Master Shangho.

The two were sparring with long, wooden staffs.

Bruce's master then opened an old Chinese book.

"Let us begin.", He declared.

End Of Flashback

Then, Bruce remembered the training with Master Dark Claw. How he was trained in the arts of swordsmanship and archery.

Flashback-Dark Claw's Fortress-Japan

Dark Claw attacked from behind, but Bruce evaded it, knocking his Sensei to the ground.

He helped him up, as the old ninja master smiled.

"The legendary "Thunder Attack". Very well executed my student. You have made great strides Bruce; I am proud of you."

"Thank you master."

They bowed to each other.

Five Hours Later

The two men had a meal, as Dark Claw went into his room to meditate, and Bruce took a two hour nap.

Bruce was now being taught the ways of archery.

"Now, heed my word Al Midrib. The bow can be a very dangerous weapon, if used properly. An arrow can even be fatal if you know how to use it.

Dark Claw gave him a bow and a quiver full of arrows.

Bruce strapped the quiver to his back and grabbed the bow.

He shot five arrows , all of them perfectly hitting the target.

Over the next few years, Bruce learned about different types of plants and medicine, along with continuing his combat training.

After completing the training, Bruce returned to Gotham City, in time becoming the Batman.

End Of Flashback

Bruce managed to take a sample of the serum , and developed a cure for it , giving it to The GCPD to administer to the people.

Suddenly, the computer beeped, showing the ninjas' location.

He put on a new suit. It ends now.

Batman stepped onto a platform and went down to the new Batmobile.

He got in and strapped in his seatbelt, before activating the engine and the ion thrusters.

"Computer, is the Batmobile ready?"

"Affirmative. All systems optimal."

Batman pushed the gearshift forward , as the car drove onto the platform and was taken up to the street level.

He accelerated , heading full speed towards the harbor.

Meanwhile With The Ninjas At The Harbor

The Ninjas were on high alert. Suddenly, their swords were pulled out of their hands by a magnetic Bataraang.

"What are you doing here boys, playing with such dangerous toys in the middle of the night?", A familiar voice growled from the shadows.

"Batman!", One of the ninjas hissed.

The Dark Knight swung down from the roof of a warehouse, landing in front of them.

They started fighting, and Batman defeated the ninjas, before taking a sample of the serum and destroying the last of the bioweapon.

Bruce managed to make an antidote, which he gave to Commissioner Jim Gordon as Batman. Later that day, he watched a news report on the computer , which said that the antidote was successful , and further deaths were prevented.
