Bulma pushed herself off the ground, contemplating her route of action while throwing a hold spell onto Vejita. She knew that when he got his bearings straight from the fireball, he would lunge forward for the kill. She couldn't allow that to happen, knowing that he would end up dead long before he reached the demon. Looking behind her, she was met with grim reality that this possibly could be the last night of their life.
Both Chichi and Eighteen were shaking in complete rage. They knew this was just the beginning, and unlike any tournament fights they had participated in, this was no holds barred. Chichi looked ahead of her and saw Bulma's concerned expression. She was just as worried as well, if this was their greeting, what else did the demon have in store for them. Chichi stared at Bulma looking for answers, and could have swore she saw a light bulb go off above her head.
"What did I scare you stiff? I expected more of a challenge than this," the demon cackled looking over the group in disgust. She turned her back to them, goading them to attack.
Bulma looked to Eighteen and nodded for her to come close as well as Chichi. As soon as they scooted next to her, Bulma took her finger and spelt out some words on the floor in shorthand.
Going to attack, soon as I do, grab everyone except Piccolo, Gohan and Videl and RUN. Going to lure her out.
Chichi rose an eyebrow wondering what in blazes she had up her sleeve, but decided not to ask. Sliding back to their husbands they quickly spelt out what Bulma had said. Goku opened his mouth to protest but was glared down by Bulma immediately.
"Just do as told, Grab Vejita on your way out," she mouthed as she stood up and turned her attention back to the demon.
"Scared stiff Onyxeyi? I believe you are the one scared not us. You know good and damn well that you don't stand a chance against all of us," Bulma growled, ignoring the look of disbelief on her mates face as Onyxeyi turned her head slightly back toward her. 'Dang it Vejita quit looking at me like I am insane. I do have guts you know,' she thought to herself angrily, as she continued to bait the demon on.
"If you believe that, you are more stupid than you look. Worthless human, you and I both know that I can dispose of you with one command."
Bulma tilted her head down until her bangs covered her eyes. Her lips turned up in jest of such a statement. "Oh really? Lets find out," Bulma snickered raising one hand. Darting her eyes back to the group, making sure they were ready, she extended her fingertips until a blue globe appeared. Onyxeyi raised an eyebrow knowing that size of a blast would do nothing but irritate her skin at the very most. With one shrug, she turned back to Bulma and opened her arms in invitation of the blast.
Holding her other hand behind her back, she gathered energy to throw a globe of darkness over her that would make the captive blind for a few moments. As she felt it finish growing, she released the ki blast toward Onyxeyi, then quickly followed with other hand, releasing the globe of darkness.
As soon as the demon screamed in protest at being blind, Bulma took her hand and motioned for Piccolo, Gohan and Videl to get the kids. Piccolo stopped from his advance next to her. "Can you get her outside by yourself?" he mouthed quickly.
Bulma nodded and ushered him on. "Don't be to long" she mouthed back.
Piccolo smiled in pride at the fact that she was being brave to save all their hides. It was a different side to her that he had never seen before until now. He understood why Vejita and her got along so good; both had set moral foundations that they would follow through till the end. Mouthing "Good luck", Piccolo turned and ran after Gohan and Videl. Bulma looked back towards the raging demon, which kept rubbing her eyes in defiance.
"You stupid little cretin! You will burn a thousands deaths for doing that cheap trick to me!" Onyxeyi screamed, as she searched her brain for the incantations to dispel the blindness.
Bulma released another ki blast along with another darkness spell, to keep her blind until she heard the last set of footprints retreat behind her. She slowly walked backwards toward the door, knowing as soon as the darkness was lifted, the demon would be highly irate. Without a second thought, she crouched low into a defensive position. Bulma knew that she would not be able to defeat the demon alone, yet she knew that they could not fight inside the building, due to their children in the vicinity.
With a deafening scream, Onyxeyi burst into flames, dissolving the darkness spell. Violet eyes narrowed at Bulma, showing the pure rage that shined brightly. "Very nice, you must have invented that little spell in your mind for it to work so well on me. I promise you won't be so lucky next time," the she demon softly rumbled, taking determined steps toward Bulma.
"We shall see, won't we?" Bulma spat out, as she darted down the hallway back into the open night sky. 'Follow damn you, come you big feline and catch your prey,' she goaded in her head, hoping that the demon would follow for the bait.
Without fail, Onyxeyi stepped out into the night air. "So you wish to play outside. Who am I to discourage you?" she chuckled, bringing her hands in front of her to stretch. Onyxeyi looked around and noticed the rest of the fighters, along with her former minions Chichi and Eighteen there as well. She softly smiled as she extended her ebony wings and thrashed her scaly tail behind her. "I do wish you would make the first move, I prefer to play with my prey a bit before killing them."
Chichi no longer able to contain her temper, levitated into the air. "You want to play? Well play with this!" she screamed, releasing a draining spell from her fingertips and following up with a ki blast. As soon as her blast was released, the others followed suit, hoping to wear down the demons power. From afar it seemed as if fireworks had suddenly hit the sky.

Piccolo raced down the halls behind the two worried couple. He listened for any movement within the corridor rooms yet heard not even a breath of air. Growing apprehensive, he picked up the pace and set his senses out further. He felt the thin strand of energy enamating from one of the locked rooms. Stopping at the door to the room, Piccolo looked to Gohan and nodded his head toward the door.
"Same time," was the only words he spoke. On a mind count to three, both men slammed their bodies against the doorframe, causing it to crumple down to the floor. As the dust cleared they heard the shriek of Videl and a body falling to the floor in a dead faint.
"What did she do to them?" Gohan gasped as he tried to comprehend the scene before him.
