"The boss sure showed Zucco." Said a goon working for Dent. The other Goon nodded as they kept watch outside Dent's hideout. In an alleyway, gray eyes watched and turned to an angry glare as the individual stalked towards them, drawing on a touchpad on his metallic arm. "So what do you plan on doing Saturday-Arrck!" The two were suddenly trapped in between two slabs of concrete as the individual walked to the door. "You didn't give those affected by Zucco closure Dent..." the individual said as he prepared to kick the door down. He heard the sound of a car engine as Ciel's limo suddenly pulled up.<br/><br/>"Took us an hour to figure out Dent's financial activities My lord, we are not as sophisticated as Batman's technology, but I do pride myself as a hell of a Butler." Sebastian said with a grin.<br/>"And it seems we caught our little friend in the act as well." Ciel said, eyeing the individual from the window. "Well as a private investigator we'd best apprehend him."<br/>The individual began to crouch into a fighting stance. "He seems like he wants to put up a fight Master. Shall I stall him until Batman arrives?" Sebastian asked.<br/><br/>"Don't rough him up too badly. We still need to question him." Ciel stated as Sebastian got out of the car.<br/><br/>A batarang flew out of the darkness of the alley and sliced through the concrete suffocating the two thugs.<br/><br/>"Hm?!" The individual grunted out as he gripped the handle of something on his back, glaring towards the darkness. "Come to watch me make up for your mistake Batman?" He asked. Sebastian sighed boredly. "And here I thought I'd have a bit of a stretch and find out what exactly he's using. It's definitely Alchemy of some kind," Sebastian stated.<br/><br/>Batman landed behind the mysterious vigilante instead of coming out of the alley directly.<br/>He swept the alchemist's legs in an attempt to trip him up<br/><br/>"Gah!" The Vigilante cried out falling to the ground, before he stopped and punched the ground with his hand, making a fist out of Asphalt and punching it towards Batman. "Curious, your left arm seems to be the place of Transmutation." Sebastian said. "Correct," the vigilante stated. "my arm is a prosthetic made from several gadgets courtesy of Bruce Wayne. I had to program the device to accept the archaic Circles of Transmutation however." He glared at the Caped Crusader. "Attacking me from behind, have you no honor Bat? For that.." he pulled on the object strapped to his back, revealing a sword. "I shall punish you for the negligence resulting in Zucco's plot!"<br/><br/>"Sebastian, help Batman." Ciel ordered as Sebastian bowed and pulled out several cutlery from his sleeves.<br/><br/>Batman threw a batarang, knowing his foe would repel it with his sword....it would then explode in his enemy's face with the potency of a can of pepper spray<br/><br/>The Vigilante blocked, as expected, but he didn't count on the explosion as he cried out in shock. "My eyes! My eyes!" He shouted as he began to try and find an escape route.<br/><br/>Batman shot out a cable which wrapped itself around the alchemist's ankles and retracted it<br/>"No!" He shouted angrily trying to get free, when the sounds of another car engine revs up as it drives up and towards the area. "Oh? He had help?" Sebastian asked. "Master? Please engage in a game of Chicken with that driver." Ciel looked at the driver's seat and paled a bit, before getting onto the driver's seat.<br/><br/>Ciel drove towards the driver but then saw the driver of the car and paled before causing himself to turn from the vehicle. The driver of the other car pulled up to the Vigilante and stopped before opening the door. "Samuel! Hold on!" Came the sound of a female voice. Sebastian's eyes widened at the voice, as he recognized it. "So, you're back as well, and not as a human." The demon butler noted, having an amused smile on his face as the tall red haired woman, who's hair was shoulder length, began to pull at the rope to try and cut it with a scalpel. "I'll get you out then clean your eyes!"<br/><br/>"grr! Blasted modern cables." The Demon Madam muttered as she tossed the scalpel into the back of the car and did a complete flip, gripping part of the cable before grabbing the Vigilante's sword and gave a swing to the cable, smiling at the audible snap. "There we are." Madame Red said, "Got you loose, do you have a thank you?" "T-thanks." Muttered the Vigilante. "No say it proper! 'Thank you Doctor Durless!' I swear you're a handful." She muttered as she grabbed the young man by the leg.<br/><br/>"Answers? of what sort? Can I at least give me something to wash out your pepper concoction from his eyes please?" Madame Red said as she pushed a button on the metal arm as the prosthetic slid off showing that the prosthetic was attached to the elbow. "A little measure of trust. He's now a one armed man for the moment." She explained. "Now what do you wish to know?"<br/><br/>Batman glared scarily down at the one armed 'Samuel'. "Don't let me catch you playing vigilante again.."<br/><br/>Samuel looked away from the glare. Madame Red huffed. "If anything, you shouldn't be playing the part either. Yet here you are." She said pointedly. "In the old days it was Ciel." The person in question gave a small "Tch." Before setting his cane down to get back on the subject. "Answers Madame. Now."<br/><br/>"Oh, I suppose I should give out some answers. To answer your question dear nephew, it seems Jack the Ripper became so notorious, given that it was never solved, gave me the option to become a demon." She shrugged. "Now what questions does the caped crusader wish of me?"<br/><br/>"Who is he and why is he doing all this?" Batman asked<br/><br/>"Now that I can give. His name is Samuel. Why he's doing it? I think the same reasons that anyone born under rotten circumstances would." She gave a small smile. "To grasp at something better. You've become an inspiration to some Batman. However, if I didn't meet him, he'd have surely died in some Opiate den." "It's Heroin now." Ciel stated, "but I suppose it's all the same. Addictive drugs, et cetera."<br/><br/>"Then he crossed paths with me, and the rest is history, as Ciel would point out." The Madame concluded. "So in other words, he and you have a contract." Sebastian concluded.
