Back at the hotel lobby....
The armored knights and the gargoyle monsters worked together to fight the intruders of the hotel. Unfortunately for them, they were easily defeated by Bela and the armed militia soldiers all together.
Van Helsing walked towards to an injured gargoyle monster on the floor while holding his crossbow.
VAN HELSING: Now, I will only going to ask you this once, where.... is.... Dracula?
(gargoyle): I will never talk! Not even to you!
VAN HELSING: Pity. You could've spared your own life, but if that's what you want. Knight, will you do the honors?
ARKHAM KNIGHT: With pleasure.
Van Helsing turned his attention to the Arkham Knight, who loaded his pistol and shot a bullet on the gargoyle's head killing him. It felt so good for the Arkham Knight.
Dracula, Vlad, Lydia, Gene, Frank, Wayne, Murray, and Griffin made it to the lobby and noticed that all of the hotel staffs are knocked down and some are dead.
DRACULA: NO!
VAN HELSING: Ah, the little Count Dracula have decided to show up after all. Along with his other weaklings.
GENE: Hey! Who are you calling weak!
DRACULA: This has to end, Van Helsing!
VAN HELSING: I agree. Once I'm finished with you, I will wreck this dammed hotel and every monster in it with my last strength. And if that's not enough, (*chuckle) I might as well enjoy on what I will do to your wife and daughter.
Dracula snapped as his eyes turned into raging red and her fangs grew twice the size. He was angered and furious that his enemy would dare strike his family.
DRACULA: You Bastard! I'll do whatever it takes to stop you even if it kills me!
VAN HELSING: Oh, I doubt that. Bela, attack them!
BELA: I thought you never asked!
Bela and his cronies made their attacks against the monsters. The Dracula's and the Drac Pack took the opportunity to finish off Bela and the cronies once and for all. They easily took down Bela and the rest of the bat cronies while the militia soldiers just stood starting to worry that Dracula might gain the upper hand.
(militia): What the hell! They took all of them out!
The militia soldiers raised their weapons and aimed it at Dracula but the Arkham Knight forbid them to.
ARKHAM KNIGHT: Hold your fire, soldier. It'll wait.
(militia): But, sir....
ARKHAM KNIGHT: I said lower down your weapons, men. That's an order! Wait until Batman shows up.
The Dracula family and the Drac Pack defeated Bela and the rest of the bat cronies that they were all knocked down unconscious.
Quickly arriving at the lobby in their bat form, Martha and Mavis transformed back into their human form to help Dracula.
Dracula was surprised and worried to see his wife and daughter in the middle of the situation.
MARTHA: Drac!
DRACULA: Martha! Mavis! What are you doing here!? Get out of here!
ARKHAM KNIGHT: Get these two! Make sure you use anti-vampire darts on them!
The militia soldiers fired anti-vampires darts at Martha and Mavis at their shoulder to prevent them from using their powers.
One militia soldier captured Martha while holding a gun at her as the Arkham Knight forcefully grabbed Mavis by the arm.
MAVIS: Hey! Get your hands of me!
ARKHAM KNIGHT: Oh, no no no. You're not going anywhere, little princess. And don't expect your daddy or BATMAN to come and save you this time!
The Arkham Knight threatened as he puts his pistol gun at the frightened Mavis' head. Dracula was struck by fear when he saw Martha and Mavis have taken hostage.
DRACULA: YOU MONSTER! Let my wife and daughter go!
VAN HELSING: Oh, I will release them. If you come forward and give yourself to us.
MARTHA: Drac, don't do it. They'll kill us both either way!
Before Dracula could make up his mind for the safety of Martha and Mavis, Batman/Johnny drops in for Dracula's back up.
Batman/Johnny threw a Batarang at the Arkham Knight's hand making him drop his gun setting Mavis free. He also did the same to the militia soldiers who was holding Martha hostage.
With Martha and Mavis safely out of the way, Batman/Johnny performed a glide kick at the Arkham Knight on his chest.
The Arkham Knight fell to ground for a second but successfully got back up on his feet away from Batman/Johnny and back to Van Helsing.
(militia): Look out! Batman's here! Don't let him stop us!
Batman/Johnny hesitated on attacking the remaining militia soldiers all by himself. Batman/Johnny formed his free flow combat and takedowns at the militia soldiers and counter their attacks. Batman/Johnny broke every bone in the militia soldiers' bodies while Van Helsing and the Arkham Knight didn't interfered.
Batman/Johnny knocked down all of the militia soldiers while Van Helsing and the Arkham Knight are the only ones left standing. Batman/Johnny grinds his teeth and tightly clenched his fist in anger at the Arkham Knight after he threatened to kill Mavis.
BATMAN/JOHNNY: If you touch her again, and I will break every single bone in your body!
ARKHAM KNIGHT: I wouldn't count on that if I were you. Or haven't you forgotten that I know you more than anyone in this room right now.
The Arkham Knight warned as he grabbed another pistol gun from his leg hostler and aimed at Batman/Johnny threatening to reveal his secret identity in front of his friends and families.
DRACULA: Leave now! You will never attack my home and family ever again!
VAN HELSING: Oh, please. This isn't the first time I broke in to your home.
DRACULA: What are talking about?
VAN HELSING: Did you ever wonder how those angry mob villagers found your old home? Well, let's just say we gave them the directions.
DRACULA: You led the mob to my home!
Dracula gasped in shock and disbelief.
VAN HELSING: That's not the only thing we did. While you were dealing with the humans, my ancestors decided to pay your wife and daughter a little visit.
Dracula and Martha started to put all of the pieces back together. Fragments of memories of that faithful night were coming back to them. The burning castle, the angry mobs, protecting baby Mavis. All of these events... were Van Helsing's doing.
MARTHA: Those humans.... they were your ancestors?
DRACULA: DAMN YOU! Your ancestors are the reason why I lost my wife for a very long time! I almost lost my precious little daughter that night because of you!
VAN HELSING: It's what your kind deserves, forgotten in the dirt.
When this was still happening, Brett, Kent, Melly, Hank, Pedro, Wendy, Sophie, Charlotte, Troy, Parker, Conner, Dennis, and Winnie made it their way to lobby to see what was going on.
KENT: Oh, great! Batman's here!
VAN HELSING: So this is where the Loughrans have been after Batman saved them.
Alfred was the last one to arrive at the lobby. He was shocked to see Van Helsing face-to-face for the first time. Van Helsing wasn't that much surprised at all. In fact, he had a smirk on his face.
ALFRED: Gabriel?
VAN HELSING: Alfred, my good friend! How long has it been.
Van Helsing said with an evil laugh. The monsters and humans were very confused and a little bit shocked that the two of them knew each other. Batman/Johnny was mostly surprised and confused about all this.
BATMAN/JOHNNY: What the hell?
MELLY: Alfred, you know him?
At this point on, fear was beginning to over Alfred both physically and mentally. He just stood there and didn't move a single muscle. Alfred never thought of facing this event one day in the future. He has kept this kind of secret after Mike and Linda were murdered just to protect their children from the truth. Alfred took a deep breath finding the right words that's need to be said.
ALFRED: Gabriel, please. You don't have to do this. They have nothing to do with this!
VAN HELSING: Oh, so you haven't told them yet. I'm surprised you've managed to keep this a secret for too long.
Dracula went over to Alfred furiously.
DRACULA: What is the meaning of this!?
VAN HELSING: Tell me, children. How much do know about your father's past life? Your parents would've been great vampire hunters if your father, Mike, never would've left the Van Helsing family in the first place!
The Loughrans, including Batman/Johnny, were all shocked that their father, Mike Loughran, was secretly a part of the Van Helsing.
DRACULA: Is this true?
ALFRED: I.... uh.... Drac....
Alfred stuttered but Dracula let out a huge raging roar at the human that it terrified him. Dracula doesn't like anyone keeping this kind of secret from him. Alfred sighed in defeat and admitted the truth.
DRACULA: Their father.... IS A VAN HELSING!!!?
ALFRED: (*sigh).... I only kept this to myself because I thought it is the only keep Mike and Linda's children safe.
Brett, Kent, and Melly gasped in shock and disbelief that the Loughran family are somehow related to the Van Helsings. Batman/Johnny also had a sad and disappointed look at Alfred that he kept this secret from him for all these years.
VAN HELSING: Speaking of the Loughrans, have you ever noticed that your son-in-law and the Batman have never been in the same room at once?
MAVIS: What do you mean?
Mavis asked curiously as she had a confused look towards Batman/Johnny. He looked back at Mavis with a worried look.
ARKHAM KNIGHT: (*chuckle) It means that you have to face the truth sometimes. Right, Batman?
Arkham Knight gloated and laughed while this only angered Batman/Johnny.
BATMAN/JOHNNY: Who are you?
ARKHAM KNIGHT: You really have no idea. Do you, Johnny?
The Arkham Knight remained holding his pistol gun at Batman/Johnny while pressing a button on his helmet. The Arkham Knight's voice modulator/changer turned off to let them hear his true voice and his visor mask lifted up revealing his true face and identity to Batman/Johnny.
To be continued....
