Narrator pov

The Moon illuminated the night sky and provided a sense of comfort for people enjoying the night hours. Well not all enjoyed the night, the dark skies also brought fear to those who live in sin

3rd person pov

*church bells*

Man: he's never done this before

Man 2: he- he killed them?

Four men wearing masks ran toward a church. They broke into the building, they started barricading the door to protect themselves.

Man: he doesn't kill

Man 2: well explain what happened to Jeff and Tommy!

Man 3: shut up! Whatever is going on is beyond us

???: you got that right

A voice spoke from the shadows of the church. All the men scurried around and aimed their guns into the darkness

Man 4: fuck you! This is for my friends

The fourth criminal started firing his SMG at nothing that could be seen

Man 3: stop firing calm down for just a second-

*whoosh*

In the blink of an eye, the second assailant was grabbed into the darkness. The masked men started shooting in the direction their friend was taken,

*chains rattle*

*click, click*

They wasted everything they had in the magazines while reloading they took their eyes off the shadows

Man 1: we got to leave!

He said with a panicked voice, the three remaining criminals tried to inch closer to the exit.

Man 2: watch out!

*thud* the fourth man's body was thrown back to the feet of the criminals. Their faces went pale, they had their answers

This wasn't Batman

On the altar a figure was standing on top of it, his eyes glowing an ethereal green, and a flame was lit behind the dark silhouette. His red cloak flowing sporadically

 His red cloak flowing sporadically

???: your souls look tasty

The figure said with a grimace

The criminals finished loading their guns and started firing at the figure. The shadow-like figure moved faster than anything they have seen

Man 1: we can't hit him

Man 3: I'm leaving-

The third man was grabbed by the shadow figure and only screams could be heard, Two men remained.

*glass shattered*

Another person had entered the church from above, it was the dark knight, BATMAN

Batman: your done here

The cape crusader said with a scowl, his eyes glowing a subtly blue indicating the use of his detective vision. He could see the other entity in the church but no bones were visible not even his heart rate could be detected.

The last 2 thugs knew there was no getting out of this it was either this monster or the bat. Both the thugs dropped their weapons and surrendered

Batman could see the dark entity rush the thugs trying to finish them. The dark knight dropped a smoke pellet blinding the criminals and the monster in the shadows.

*Zip*

The thugs were knocked out simultaneously, the entity clawed toward the criminals going for the kill. Batman blocked the claws with his gauntlets

Batman: enough! this is my city

???: hunger

Batman grabbed his opponent's arm and hurled him toward the altar, the shadow assailant landed on his feet but was meet with Batman's foot to his face, knocking him back

???: you

The mystery person yelled in a grimace
Batman didn't stop the assault he used his skillful combat to beat down the red-cloaked monster but they kept getting back up.

They both rushed each other again this time the monster had the speed advantage, Batman was blitzed and almost had his head taken off. The emerald-eyed monster missed his attack, when his fist collided with the altar it shattered into pieces. The force sent debris and Batman flying

Recovering in the air the crusader landed and prepared for the monster's next attack. He blinked and the monster was in front of him snarling it's teeth visible and razor sharp.
With a swing of its clawed fist, Batman narrowly dodged. he grabbed the monster's arm and used his weight against him flipping him into the chairs of the church. The dark knight felt a pain surge through his abdomen, he looked down and saw a chain piercing into him. The dark knight pulled it out of his stomach and jumped back throwing smoke bombs

Batman was now breathing heavily, he reached into his utility belt and brought out a small device. Activating it, a small focused laser pointed out of it. Batman cauterized his wound

Batman: the hell are you?

The creature was crotched down with chains slithering back into its cloak

???: I hunger

Inside the dark knights ear he heard a familiar voice, that of Alfred pennyworth

Alfred: master Bruce I advice a tactical retreat

Batman: working on it

The creature got on all fours and rushed the dark knight. Batman reach into his utility belt and grabbed two batarangs, once the monster got closer batman stabbed one of the batarangs into the monsters shoulder not hitting anything lethal. The creature didn't relent it swung its other clawed hand near Batman's neck, the dark knight leaped backward performing a back flip and throwing the projectile at the monster.

The monster dodged but not without having its face cut, it growled in frustration as it turned to look at the dark knight all the while it's cut healed

Alfred: sir it appears this monster has regenerative properties, should I?

Batman's breathing had become ragged.

Batman: do it

*revving*

A noise was heard outside the church, a bright light beamed through the glass panels in the ceiling. It was the batwing, Batman's personal fighter jet, The aircraft hovered outside the church and it deployed little devices. Once attached to the roof they exploded, the dark knight took the chance and grappled toward the two unconscious thugs trying to bring them to safety

???: raghhhhh

The monster roared as the building fell on him. Batman grabbed the thugs and kicked the church door down. Barely escaping the crumbling church

—————
Batman was crouched on a rooftop not far from the crumbled church, his injury started to show signs when he gritted his teeth.

Alfred: master Bruce I advice you should return to the manor

Batman: I can't, not till I find out who and what that was

Alfred: I've sent master drake on the way

Batman: tell him to do only reconsigns I don't want him to engage this monster

The dark knight held his side and returned to the batwing promptly leaving Gotham in the hands of his Allies.
