"My gosh, I am so pumped for this play!" Yuma yelled out, plopping down on a seat in his school auditorium. "This is so going to rock!"
"Slow down, space cowboy." Kotori sighed, taking a seat next to him. "We don't know that it is going to rock JUST YET, so chill out."
"Oh come on, Kotori! I am totally pumped up for this! Rio, Shark, Cathy, and everyone else will be in this play, so it MUST be awesome! And I intend to show my support! Ka-"
"Oh, hush up, will you? I can hardly hear myself think with your yapping!"
Yuma wheeled around. "Kaito! What are you doing here?"
"Wishing I didn't have to drag them with me." Kaito growled, jerking his thumb at the people seated next to him.
Kotori did a double take. "Durbe? Misael? Guys? What on Earth are you doing here?"
"We were compelled to come, in order to show our support for our friends, and our former leaders!" Durbe loftily replied.
"In other words, Rio threatened us into coming." Misael grumbled. "How is it she can intimidate us into these things?"
"No idea." Gilag said through a mouthful of popcorn.
"Shhh! The play's starting!" Kotori hissed. They all turned around as a hush fell over the audience.
Ukyo-sensei walked onto the stage. "Konichiwa, minna-sama! Welcome to the school's winter play! I certainly hope you all enjoy yourselves tonight!"
"First off, I would like to say how very proud I am of our students. They worked really hard on this, particularly the writer of this play! Ladies and gentlemen, our very own Vector!"
"VECTOR?!" Came the scream of every student of Heartland Academy as Vector walked out onto the stage.
"How in the name of Barian World did he get to write the play?" Alit whispered. "Shouldn't they know better by now?"
"I fear for their lives." Kaito murmured. Everyone else nodded as Vector spoke up.
"Wow! Thank you all for coming tonight! I am so touched! This is my first time producing a play, and I really hope you all like it!" Vector squealed in his "Rei" voice.
All the parents awed and clapped, while the students said silent prayers for the cast.
"The play is about a faraway country with a crazy queen and her subjects. This is actually a folktale in South America that I found, and I thought it would appeal to some of our students here in the Academy!"
As he said this, Vector threw an innocent look in the direction of the former Barian Emperors, who gulped.
"The cast worked really hard to pull this one out, and I am super pleased with their work! So, without further ado, I give you The Devil's Daughter!"
"Oh, my gosh." Kotori whimpered, hiding her head in her hands as the curtain rose up. "I don't even want to look."
This was going to be the scariest play anyone had ever seen.

Tali: You are probably staring at this going "What the heck is going on here? What have I just seen?" Don't worry, everything will become clear in the next few chapters!
Zexal: Just to be clear, this will from here on out be in the play as it was written. This is an introduction, of sorts.
Drexal: Oh, boy, what are you going to do to them, Tali-chan?
Tali: That is for me to know and you to guess at! Anyways, please leave a review, but take it easy if you have to flame! This is my first fanfiction, and I am still pretty new. But if you must flame, go right ahead. Just, kinda keep it to a minimum, yes?
Vector: Yeah, don't make her stop! Then my play will never get off the ground! And I have such a good plan, hehehe . . .
Tali: Yes, do not discourage us from our plan! (laughs crazily)
Drexal: You two scare me sometimes.
