The Play



7:30 was rapidly passing with each second ticking off the massive school clock, crowds of teachers, parents, students and others piled into the school. By the time 7:30 came the entire house was packed full with people, in the seats were Sharpener, Gohan, Videl (though not happy), and even Piccolo. Hiding in the far back, draping himself in his white cape and turban. Squinting his white eyes for energy senses, eagerly waiting to stop the attack.

The one he knows that those 2 dark characters were plotting and talking about on the roof, and of course to protect Gohan. Meanwhile behind the massive red curtains, Erasa was giggling with eager excitement at the sight of the crowd. She peeked her lovely diamond blue eyes from the curtains to see. "I can't believe the turn out, this is gonna be the best night of my life" Erasa giggled to herself heading towards her dressing room. Totally unaware.

Unaware of the dark and seductive eyes of beauty, lust, and wickedness behind those hiding jade eyes. Pushing the curtains back, Nocturna looked around to ensure no one was in sight. Her evil eyes set on Erasa's dressing room, eagerly licking her purple lips "She'll fill me right up" Nocturna said. "Erasa hey you there?" Nocturna gasped and hid behind the curtains again, covering her body tightly from sight. Waiting and watching for that voice.

A massive muscular man entered into view with long string blonde hair, and one of those dazzling "pretty boy" smiles, it was Sharpener. "Erasa you around?" he called once again, turning left to right for the cute little blonde. A bag of beautiful flowers in his right hand, Sharpener called out to her again. "Hey come on now Erasa I just wanted to wish you good luck that's all, please you know I don't bite" Sharpener suddenly froze like solid ice.

An even colder chill tingled up his spine right into his brain, there was someone behind him but it wasn't for Erasa. She never made his hairs stand on end and shake like a rag doll, he turned around and gasped at the sight. "No but I do" said Nocturna as she immediately placed a hand over Sharpener's mouth, and another across his neck. He couldn't move an inch. The young boy's eyes widening with mound after mound of chilling fear.

She pushed him back into the curtains where he vainly struggled, and screamed out muffled cries against her hand. The strength of her was unbelievable, just then a red door opened and Erasa popped out in outfit. "Hello anyone there? Sharpener?" Erasa asked blinking confused blue eyes, she shook her blonde head around the whole stage but no one was there. She shrugged her smooth shoulders saying, "Oh well must have been the crowd."

Erasa clicked her dark blue heels walking towards the center, preparing for the play. Unable to notice the sickly grinning stare of the lurking Nocturna. "Don't worry my dear you'll find that boy sooner then you think" she quietly cackled to herself, draping behind the curtains again. "Videl I swear I didn't mean to just run off it was an emergency" Gohan pleaded to the huffing girl, still turning her closed eyes & crossed arms from him. "Riiiight" she replied.

Gohan sighed pressing his hand to his black hair with worry written all over his face, Videl turned to him hissing "You didn't run off to any emergency. You ran off to avoid explaining your GREEN skinned pal, what a dragon ball is, how that little kid picked up that huge boulder, should I go on?" she said. Gohan gulped and laughed nervously, but he knew by her death cold stare. He can't keep lying to her forever, he sucked in his gut and took a gamble.

"Videl I totally take full blame for me running off, and I am REALLY, really sorry can you forgive me?" Gohan pleaded, noticing Videl was hesitant. She scratched her soft chin lightly "Well?" she said, Gohan panicked blurting out. "I promise I'll explain everything after the play is done okay?" Videl's eyes lit up as she smiled to him, leaning in close as can be asking "Promise?". Gohan smiled a bit as he nodded to her question, she hugged him tightly.

"Oh I LOVE YOU GOHAN" "SHHH" the whole crowd hissed to them, both of their young cheeks blushed like a pair of tomatoes and kept super quiet. The lights dimmed and the lights on the stage shined down like search lights, the first actor began and the play went on. Quiet cheers of joy and encouragement cry out from Gohan and Videl, watching Erasa take the stage. The peachy make up on her young face, blushed with a bright crimson red.

Time continued to pass on and the crowd could only watch and enjoy each and every passing moment, totally clueless as usual. Behind the curtains the prowling Nocturna, snatched each and every actor that came by her path. Feeding her mysterious hunger through out the dispense of these young teens, eagerly waiting to grasp her taste buds on the prize meal herself, Erasa. Finally the climax of the play was, building up tension of the grand audience.

Erasa laid on a slab stone coffin before the entire crowd, bright lights shining only on her. Arms crossed across her chest, she began her lines. Screaming for the dark prince, Dracula to romantically sweep her off her feet into the night. After a few minutes both Erasa and the crowd were noticing a tiny problem, "Where the hell is he?" Erasa uttered under her black lipstick as she sweated. Mumbled whispers filled the audience's faces with total confusion.

Until suddenly the curtains opened up and the smiling faces of delight, turned to horror and surprise. The entire stage was littered with face up bodies of the performing teens, their eyes white and dilated. Blood dripping from the necks. Gohan's eyes widened with fear and that flashback, almost instantly the dream smacked him in the face again. That disturbing image of his Videl. Erasa was looking left to right in horror, unable to even breathe out of fear.

"SHARPENER" Erasa screamed out in a muffled sob filled breakdown, Videl stared and couldn't stop at the horrible sight. Gohan, Videl, and Erasa all looked at their muscular friend laying dead amongst the teens. Videl stood up and shouted in a half voice of anger, half of terror filled panic. "What the hell is going on here?" Erasa didn't stop shaking or bursting tears, unable to turn trembling eyes away from Sharpener. "Oh good God" she said softly.

Suddenly the hearts of a hundred people jumped out of their chests, a dark echo of maniacal laughter bounced from the stage walls. A voice of pure evil speaking in a booming tone filled with darkness, "God has left the building now it's mine" the voice laughed again. Erasa immediately got up and ran. Pumping her black nylon legs as fast as she could to get off the big stage, until suddenly a pair of hands grabbed her ankles. Erasa turned & screamed.

It was Sharpener holding her ankles, his eyes turned to a heartless jade green. Fangs bulging from his teeth as he rose from the floor, "Sorry about the delay folks we now return to our regularly scheduled massacre" Sharpener said. Laughing an insane inhuman laugh sinking his newly grown fangs into Erasa, she screamed feeling the fangs puncture her leg flesh. Already feeling the blood drained from her young body, soon another teen joined at her arm.

In seconds Erasa was covered in the un-dead teens, believing to accept the death filled truth that they had become in fact. "Vampires" Gohan said as he shredded his clothes into that of the Great Saiyaman, as the crowd ran out. Tripping and screaming as they bolted out the door in blind fear, panicking. Not even bothering to look back at Gohan or Videl, the play hall was empty. Leaving just the vampires, Erasa, Videl and The Great Saiyaman to do battle.

A yellow energy blast exploded above the cardboard castle set up of the play, the vampires removed their bloody fangs from Erasa. Turning their evil eyes to Gohan hissing, the teen super hero raised a white gloved hand in the air. "All right you blood sucking sons of bitches you've had your little fun, now get the hell away from her so says Great SAIYAMAN" Gohan shouted. Dead trails of silence & sweat drops escaped the dumb founded vamps.

Videl slapped her face and groaned to Gohan "Do you HAVE to do that stupid pose?" she said, Gohan laughed nervously and straightened himself up. Sweat dropping from his white turban and black sun glasses "Sorry force of habit" he replied, both he & Videl then turned a fighting pose to the vampires. Preparing fists of rage to the close creeping creatures of the night, "ENOUGH!" a booming voice echoed in the halls. The same as before.

The vampires stopped and turned towards the center stage immediately bowing, even Sharpener bent down on his knees as if preying to a dark god. Slowly the stage search lights beamed upward onto a descending shadowy figure, purple spandex coated legs sexily kicked black boots onto the floor. Black bat wing designs covered the purple covers, crawling up to her waist. Were a spider web designed little skirt, brimmed around her smooth hips.

A sexy black body suit coated her upper body and her buxom cleavage, more purple spandex coating her slender arms stopping at her bat winged wrists. Green nail polish shimmers brightly on her finger nails, a white feather collar. Stopping just above her breasts leaving her neck, shoulders, and some chest bare. Completed at the top with the beautiful vixen's face of darkness, decorated with light purple lipstick, jade colored eyes, and a sexy little smile.

The most oddest thing that baffled the dragon balls out of Videl and Gohan, was the fact that amongst her shimmering long green hair. Were 2 tiny bat wings sticking out like ears, the same 2 wings were on the sides of her wrists. The woman smirked and pointed out towards the couple "Well what do you know, you got tricks I got treats," Nocturna licked her fangs with a sly grin. Gohan growled clenching his white glove tightly, "Who are you?" he said.

Nocturna laughed and curved her sexy body as if flaunting it off to them, Videl spat to the floor with disgust "A trampy little tease with wings if you ask me." The vampriss smirked at Videl's comment "Sorry hun the tomboy thing is out, but I can see why you'd wanna hide what little "stuff" you have," Videl's eyes bulged out with rage as she screamed out at Nocturna. Gohan holding her back as she kicked and screamed, "LET ME AT HER!".

Gohan settled her down and frowned as he approached the stage, standing directly into the woman's face with glaring eyes from his black sunglasses. "I'm only going to ask you one more time because after you do, I'm gonna make you wish you stayed a fictional character" Gohan said sternly to her. Nocturna grinned and curled her finger under the boy's chin seductively, "I'm all real baby and it seems so are" he angrily pushed her back away instantly.

Videl smiled at that watching Nocturna stare at Gohan with surprise, shocked to think he'd pick Videl over her. She shrugged smooth shoulders smirking, "Your loss mighty man it's hard to find someone to please little old me" she smirked. Gohan stared at her firmly emotionless to that, Nocturna frowned "Your no fun and if we MUST play it your way might as well get it over with. The name's Nocturna the "deadly" Nocturna exactly, queen of the night."

Gohan crossed his black muscular arms "I'm not impressed" Nocturna grinned replying "Really?", suddenly she vanished in a puff of green smoke. By the time Gohan had turned around, his widened eyes were already too late. Nocturna was already sucking the delicious juices from Erasa's pale bleeding neck, Gohan screamed and charged at her with a fist reared back. But by the time he sliced the punch at her, Nocturna vanished into dead air.

"Videl BEHIND YOU" Gohan screamed, Videl immediately flipped into the air. Nocturna turned around with a gasp on her purple lips, Videl landed. Immediately slamming a barrage of punches and rapid kicks against the vampire woman, fighting her brave heart out. The massive bashing barrage landed a direct hit on the beautiful body, only to realize it did nothing. Videl looked with beyond baffled blue eyes at Nocturna, she didn't even flinch.

The lovely vampriss looked down her body, moving it like confirming a test drive while Videl stood there wide eyed. "Wow I didn't know you were weak" Nocturna said blankly, grasping her claw like nails over Videl's mouth. The poor girl screamed muffled cries of help, her purple boot feet lifted up. Leaving her air born & in the grasp of the energy glowing hands of Nocturna. "Say bye, bye" "Bye, bye" screamed Gohan as he hammer bashed Nocturna.

The colossal blow crashed Nocturna miles worth down into the shattered piles of busted wood floor, Videl panted as she sat on the ground breathing. Looking up at Gohan smiling a friendly smile to her, extending a hand down. Angrily Videl slapped it away, Gohan pulled it away with immense hurt in his eyes watching his girl storm back up. "THAT was totally uncalled for" Videl snapped at Gohan, he removed his shades and stared at her totally confused.

"WHAT? I was saving your life she was gonna blast you in the face" Gohan pleaded to her, unable to even begin to comprehend what set Videl off now. She huffed again "Oh please you think I'm weak too don't you? You must also think I'm stupid, if you think that flash magic trick can hurt me" Videl stated. Gohan groaned and slapped his face, "Not this crap AGAIN" he grumbled to himself. Videl huffed and turned her back to a steaming Gohan.

"That's IT I'm tired of being bossed around if you'd stop going berserk, every 5 seconds you'd see" Gohan was cut off by a massive explosion from below. The purple after glow shined from the devastating hole left by Nocturna, Gohan flew back yelling out in pain as he was bashed into the vampire teens. Before Videl could even run to his aid Nocturna blocked her off. Fangs shimmered in the blue eyes of Videl, she stared un-intimidated.

"Even though we may have our differences Gohan and I are not gonna let a vampire bitch like you hurt our friends," Videl said fearlessly to the vampire. Nocturna stared wide eyed with rage at what she just called her, rearing back her claw nails as she slashed out furiously. Videl back flipped dodging them, another swipe and yet another back flip. The cycle went faster and faster. Yet neither female fighter could land a single hit, finally Nocturna was tired of it.

She swiped Videl into the back of a wall cornering her, Videl gasped as she saw the woman's jade eyes glare a purple energy surge within her pupils. "I don't care what Mr. Blue says your TOAST!" Nocturna screamed out, firing powerful eye laser beams from her eyes. Videl squeaked in fear and leapt up. Immediately catching flight in the air, safely dodging the explosive beams. "Come on bring it" Gohan screamed as he vanished in and out of plain sight.

Bashing his fists into the vampire teenagers, hurling them across the room like garbage. Sharpener bared his fangs out and sank them into Gohan's left arm, suddenly he screamed & yanked out his now cracked fangs. "You may be a vampire but your no match for me" Gohan said as he grabbed his neck, jerking the jock vampire off his feet. "BLOOD" a female voice screamed out. Gohan turned to see Erasa with boiling blood red eyes & new fangs.

The Sayian grinned as he hurled back his muscular forearm, and launched Sharpener at mach speed crashing him and Erasa right into each other. Knocking both unconscious he then turned as the other vampires jumped at him, "HAAAA" Gohan screamed as he powered up a powerful charge blast. "Impossible the boss never said she could fly" Nocturna said to the grinning Videl, immediately flying down to attack. Her right foot jutting outward.

"Looks like I got the drop on you this time HIYA" Videl screamed, jamming her foot downward. Only to land right into Nocturna's fang filled mouth. Videl screamed out insanely in pain, feeling the fangs slice into her bare foot. Blood leaking from her mangled toes into the witch's bloody hungry mouth, "Thanks for the drink now it's MY TURN" Nocturna slammed Videl down. Letting her foot fall from her fangs, as Videl painfully crashed into the floor.

Nocturna laughed and stretched her clawed nails out longer as she charged Videl, "Oh just what I need AH" Videl said barely dodging the claw swipes. She desperately grabbed a metal chair from the floor and used it as a shield, loud clangs of claws against metal banging loudly from Nocturna's claws. Sweat began to rain down on Videl's forehead as the claws scratched deeper through the metal, she turned and called out "Gohan please I need some."

Her mouth was silenced by a bludgeoning fist into her now bloody face, bashing right through the chair and tossing Videl back first right into a wall. Nocturna laughed and charged a purple energy ball in her claws, it shined brightly as Videl weakly tried to stand up from the wall dent her body made. "When you get to heaven be sure to tell everyone I sent up there, how pathetic and worthless you were to stop me you wretched bratty little trollip.

You were born a blind loser and now your gonna die a blind loser" "YOU FIRST" Nocturna turned to the voice, only to be greeted by 2 white boots. The crashing power house force of Gohan's flying drop kick, slammed Nocturna right out of the building. Blasted right through solid stone in a flash. Gohan ran to Videl at the second he saw her sight, he cursed to himself. "I knew I should have watched her, Videl are you all right? Can you hear me?".

Weakly opening her eyes through the hammering head aches, blood splats, and bruises along her lovely face Gohan held her gently in his arms. Trying to hear her soft voice "G-g-g-gohan v-v-v-amp-p-ires" Videl mustered out, Gohan turned around gasping as the vampires were right on top of them. Suddenly a spray of beams blasted into the vampires, sending incredible volts of electricity shocking through their systems. They were out cold.

Turning to the darkly concealed roof of the theater room, smiling with great joy at the heavenly sight above. "Piccolo" Gohan cried out happily, watching his friendly mentor float down towards them. "It's good to see you haven't lost your edge Gohan, I'm very impressed" Gohan blushed at Piccolo's words. "Well I'd be vampire food if you hadn't fried them" Piccolo shook his head to Gohan, "Don't be foolish you did fine as for your friends.

They'll recover soon as far as I know Nocturna's bite only lasts a while, it's not permanent" Gohan stared oddly at what Piccolo just said. "But how did you," Gohan stopped himself as his Sayian eyes look to the busted open wall. Both of them knew that Nocturna was coming back and she was plenty pissed off. "Here take Videl give her a senzu bean I want her out of here, she nearly got killed by Nocturna once and I refuse to let it ever happen again.

Piccolo nodded taking the girl in his green arms, slowly hovering away as he fed the bean to Videl helping her chew it. Meanwhile Nocturna raged in screaming like a banshee, her claws surging with raging super natural powers. "I'm gonna tear you apart you creep BRING IT ON AHHHH" she yelled, charging on running black heels. Her blood'n bruised face filled with anger, she blasted her claws together at the wrists sending a powerful purple beam.

Gohan faded as the beam past right by him and destroyed some more of the stage, by the time she turned around her stomach was greeted with a knee. Eyes of pain burst from her sockets like bullets from a pistol, spit and blood gurgled from her open mouth. Staring in unimaginable pain at Gohan's knee. With the same super speed of light moves, Gohan bashed an uppercut into her now busted jaw & head bashed her face leaving even more blood splats.

Nocturna flew like a missile slamming into the stock piled vampire teenagers, her beautiful body, face, powers, & reputation all shot with in mere seconds. Gohan smiled and sighed with happy relief "Glad that whole mess is over," "OW What the hell was that for?" Piccolo screamed out holding his stomach. Videl had kicked him right in the gut and slowly hovered back to Gohan, yet despite the fact that she was healed and the fight is already over.

"Videl please don't scream look the whole mess is over can't we just go home and leave it at that?" Videl ignored Gohan, and cracked her knuckles angrily. "This is far from over Gohan the game of keep Videl in the dark is OVER, I want to know RIGHT NOW WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU HIDING?" shrieked Videl. "Yes by all means let's hear it" a new voice called out Piccolo, Videl, Gohan, & (weakly) Nocturna looked towards the voice.

Suddenly staring with an endless expression of mystery, confusion, and worst of all fear. The massive figure was cloaked entirely in heavy pitch black robes, everything on his massive muscular body was shrouded in darkness. The only thing seen was his pink hued eyes, surging completely pure evil. "Its h-h-h-him" Piccolo said, stammering and sweating madly. "Who?" both Videl and Gohan asked in union, the shadow laughed "Mr. Blue that's who."
