BATMAN VERSUS THE VAMPIRE PART 2

Elsewhere in the bunker, the X-Men discover a separate group of creatures. Colossus attempts to reason with one of the creatures, thinking he will get a better understanding of their situation. It does not take long for the experiment to turn on the X-Men, giving them the reason to fight back. Jean is upset that they came down here to save whoever is sending the nightmare signal, but Wolverine is still the same killing mutant he always was. Jean sends out a psychic wave, taking out the enemies in the room. After this forceful attack, Wolverine notices the blood seeping out of Jean's ears. As the X-Men get closer to nightmare source, Jean becomes worse, all the pent-up emotions against Wolverine start to come out. There is only one door separating the X-Men from the source and Colossus just broke through. Batman and Dala leave to pursue the Monk. Batman tells Julie that she must stay, and resist any psychic urge to return to the Monk. As Batman approaches the villain's castle by air, the Batgyro is caught in a silver net, and dragged into the castle. The Monk hypnotically overpowers Batman, and forces him to march to his doom. Dala suggests that the Monk telepathically summon Julie, to make his revenge against Batman perfect. Some time later, Julie arrives, on foot, and the Monk threatens to turn her into a werewolf such as himself. Batman is lowered into a pit of wolves that the Monk summons from the forest. It is too deep for him to get out using his silk rope. The wolves attack and Batman is able to subdue them with choking gas. Finally he escapes by using his batarang to throw the rope onto a pillar. The castle is asleep, and Batman checks that Julie is okay. Using a candle, he melts a silver statue into two silver bullets. Batman loads the silver bullets into the gun he carries with him at all times. He finds Dala and the Monk sleeping in their coffins, and shoots them both to death. The spell on Julie is broken, and they are able to safely return to America.
