Chapter 2
The First Victims
-When you are asleep you are more dead than alive.-
Vegeta-Freddy was still laughing when he suddenly stopped and coiled in pain as Vegeta tried to fight the evil spirit within him.
"Stop fighting you're only hurting yourself!" he said to himself
"You are not going to use me" said Vegeta in his normal voice
"We are fuse together for the better or worse pal"
"LET ME GO!!" said Vegeta as he separated himself of the wicked soul
"Hmm you think that would do it, you are wrong you see I am a part of you now that you like it or not and I am here to stay" said the man without a face
"I won't let you hurt any innocent people" said Vegeta angry
"Did you hear yourself? You, talking about innocent people after you murdered and slaughtered entire races. You were right though back in Nightmare World compare to you I am a choir boy, what you have done are much worse!"
"Enough I am not like that anymore!"
"Ah you aren't huh? Not long ago you let yourself be controlled so you can taste blood once again"
"This isn't true!"
"Oh Really?! I don't think so my friend you did it because you needed it, all that being good stuff is just a façade deep down you are still the same"
"You are wrong! You don't know anything about me!"
"I know you more than you think I saw it all feel it all like you just did a moment ago. I need you Vegeta and together we can build a brand new world where nightmares will be a perpetual state for human being. Remember how much you have enjoyed watching them suffer as much as you did I can make it happen just let yourself go"
"No! Never!"
"It wasn't a request you know" said the being while chuckling
"I won't let you control me"
"I don't need to, the countdown is already set it's only a matter of time before I take control of both Dreamscape and this one, and you know what you'll be at the first seat to see it happen" said the faceless being as he raised and brought it down to Vegeta and his right hand took fired as she yelled in pain and woke up his body bathe in sweat
"No it can't be" he said looking at his right hand and saw twenty-one little dots shape like star in his palm grouped together
"Vegeta what's wrong?" asked Bulma half asleep
"Nothing go back to sleep" he replied calmly as he got out of bed and off the room. He was looking for a phone and went to the computer lab and looked at the phone undecided
"Really the price of saiya-jin is going to ask the help of a feeble human because he got a bad dream! But this is bad I have to talk to her" and picked the receiver and dialed Maxine's phone number but only got the answering machine
"Hi you have reach Maxine Delacroix's voice-mail please left a message after the beep" *beep*
"Hey Maxine it's me we got to talk I think that our old friend is back" said Vegeta and hung up but then the front door opened and Trunks came in
"Trunks where were you? Did you see the time?" said Vegeta
"Sorry dad I didn't see the time passing by, goodnight long day tomorrow"
"You mean this morning" said Vegeta crossing his arm and his son just gave him a weak smile before he left
"Umph teenagers!" he said and went back to bed not with some apprehension. The rest of the night went without incident and nightmare didn't come troubling his sleep.
In the morning
"Trunks wake up! You are going to be late!" said Bra
"Ok I am awake started yelling" said Trunks getting off his bed
"I am not yelling, you've been partying all night again don't you?"
"Leave me alone runt!" he said going to the shower
"Well actually I am here to ask you for something"
"What's that?" said Trunks while brushing his teeth
"Can you drive me to school today?"
"What? You got your own mean of transportation"
"Yeah I kinda broke my scooter"
"Again!"
"Please I'll help you with your paper work after school" begged his little sister
"Ok I will"
"Yaye! Thanks bro you're the best" said Bra leaving his room
Two hours later in front of Western City High School Trunks park his car and let his sister get out
"Don't forget to come pick me up!" said Bra
"I won't now have a nice day sis" said Trunks
"Hi Bra right?" said a older girl with red hair who flapped her eyes lid at trunks
"Yes, Sandra this my big brother Trunks" said Bra
"Hi there!" said Sandra smiling
"Hi!" said Trunks
"We should hang out more often Bra, tell me what are you doing after class?" asked the red haired girl Bra was going to answer when Trunks cut her of
"Well my sister and I will have some work to do"
"Too bad another time maybe, see you around" said Sandra winking at Trunks
"Aw this was my chance to hang out with the 12th graders" said Bra pouting
"You'll get your chance; by the way she's way too old for you to hang out with. Don't be late when I come back to pick you up" said Trunks getting in the car and leave
"Wow did you see that? Sandra was talking to Bra" said Penelope a blond girl to Katie a dark haired girl who replied
"Yeah she's the popular girl in the school, maybe we should start hanging out with Bra maybe Sandra will invite us to those cool parties the 12th graders go to"
"Great idea! Hey Bra what you doing?" said Penelope
"Hi!" replied the blue-haired girl
"So tell me what's your fav. singer" said Katie passing her arm around Bra's shoulder.
At Capsule Corp. Trunks was bored working wasn't as cool as he thought it will be and he started to wish to live like any other normal guy
"Not only I have to be part alien but I have to be a genius that the parents own the greatest company in the world" he said pushing some files away and pick out his phone and called Goten's cell phone
"Yo Goten its Trunks what are you doing?" instant messaging Trunks
"Nothing interesting history class is totally boring" came the answer
"So you are free tonight?"
"Yup"
"Good I come pick you up after diner ok"
"Ok I'll wait for you at you know where"
"Sure bye!"
"Bye"
Like usual Vegeta was training in his room special, he had spent all morning trying to found where Maxine could be
"Stupid Earthlings never there when you need them!" he said doing some push-up and sit-up at 450 Earth normal gravity
"What am I going to do now? If Freddy is back we are all in danger, last time he did us all in! So how am I going to defeat him now? I can't tell the others this will just endangered them. Less they know better it will be!"
The rest of the day went as usual as the Briefs family was reunited for diner
"How was your day Trunks?" asked Bulma
"Great mom I finish all the paper work" replied this one while smiling at his sister
"That's great I am really proud of you son" said Bulma
"Hey dad, are you ok? You didn't touch your food" said Bra
"I am fine" said Vegeta who started to eat
"Oh I have to go now" said Trunks looking at his watch
"What? Where are you going?" asked Bulma
"I promise Goten that we'll meet tonight" replied Trunks
"Oh ok have fun and don't stay out too late!" said Bulma
"Ok mom" said Trunks and gave his mother a kiss before leaving after diner everyone went they way, Bulma to the lab Bra to her room and Vegeta took his jacket and went out flying out by the window. He landed on the top of Maxine's apartment and entered it open those archaic lock was a play child for him and started looking around
"Ok let see she must have some of her magic book somewhere, I need to do some research" he said but after a while gave up finding nothing but usual books and left for his house
"I feel so tired I better go to bed and hope that I won't have any nightmares" he said yawning
At a seniority house Tina, Buffy and Lana were getting ready for one of their séance
"Where's Trunks?" asked Lana
"He ditched us again!" said Buffy
"Who needs him?" said Lana
"Actually we do, without him the circle isn't strong enough" said Tina
"Why?" asked Lana
"Because of he's unusual life energy we can use it as a battery to increase our own power! How many times I have to explained you this" said Tina
"I don't think he's coming back after what happened last night" said Buffy
"Yeah Buffy is right that spell you wanted to put on him backfire and who knows what consequences this will have" said Lana
"I told you that I sense that something evil was on his way and I need to know more about it. Trunks or not we'll proceed at the séance" said Tina and sit at the circle followed by the two others and began chanting then Tina began to speak
"I know you are around here I feel your presence make yourself known!"
First a silence than mist surrounded the place as a far away voice came to them
"How dare you bother me I wasn't ready to start yet?"
"Ready to do start what?" asked Lana
"You have always been the curious one Lana" replied the strange voice
"How do you know my name?" said the girl shocked the voice chuckled and replied
"I know all about you and your friends Buffy and Tina"
"You know our names big deal! I know that you are evil and we are here to stop you to pass this dimension" said Tina
"Oh yeah I forgot now you are the protectors of the helpless! How charming?"
"We've got the power and we aren't scare to use it!" said Buffy
"I guest you do but I am not worried"
"Why?" asked Lana
"Because my source of power is far greater than yours and you little girls won't be able to stop me"
"We won't allow you to come to this dimension" said Tina
"Will see about that? There is no way you can ruin my plans!"
"The power to protect this realm have been giving to us from high above" said Buffy
"The Power that Be right? Let me laugh I am far more powerful than they will ever be!"
"We are here to protect the people of this realm and we won't fail!" said Tina the voice stayed silence for awhile before continuing
"Ok I got that; let me ask you a question. If you are the guardian of this realm who's protecting you?" said the voice chuckling
"What does he mean by that?" asked Lana to Tina
"Shit! I think he's already here!" said Buffy
"BOO!" said a man who let himself dropped inside the circle from the ceiling as the girl run away screaming
"Hahahaha I like to play hide-and-seek" said the man dress in a tattered red and green sweater, beat-up hat and leather knife-glove in one of his hand
"I thought he was a spirit!" said Tina in horror
"No he's in flesh in blood how could that be?" said Lana
"Much better than that means we can hurt him!" said Buffy who went to attack him with a big knife
"Buffy stop!" said Tina but too late the man caught her hand and forced her to drop her weapon grabbed her by her neck and threw her to the wall well she fell unconscious
"He's strong! What do we do?" said Lana scared
"We run" said Tina but everywhere they went he was in their way
"He's also fast!" whimpered Lana
"You said you were going to stop me, I am here stop me" he said laughing
"I think that your magic can act upon physical being. I have so many things in store for you! You're going to be my first three victims you lucky girls" he said again by grapping the girls by their hairs and began to hit them around but was careful enough not to kill them then he tied them up in three poles in the house soaked them with gas and lighted a match
"Time to burn the witches! Inquisition time is back just for tonight!! Muahahahahaha" laughed the man. The three young women began to scream as the flames devourer their flesh the man began chanting than said
"Now Dream Demons I offer you these three souls to feed yourselves"
The souls of the three young women left their body and entered the man's, he raised his right hand took off his glove and looked at the star shaped stars in his palm as three stars move away from he group and took their places
"Three down and eighteen to go! When all twenty-one are aligned into a pentagram it will be the time where the real world and dream world will come one and I'll reign over it!" said the man smiling
This morning the Briefs family was seated to eat breakfast when Bulma who was reading the newspaper said
"Oh that's horrible!"
"What's wrong mom?" asked Trunks
"There was a fire in a seniority house and three women had been found dead" said Bulma
"That's awful!" said Bra
"Yes it is, I think you know them Trunks the bodies have been identified to be Tina, Lana and Buffy" said Bulma sadly
"No it can't be!" said Trunks
"Sorry son" said Bulma
"How did that happen?" asked Trunks upset
"Well there not sure but the police thinks that the three women have been murdered" said Bulma
"Who can do such a thing?" asked Bra
"Only a monster could be responsible for such horrible crime" said Trunks and Vegeta left the table pale
"Vegeta what's wrong?" asked Bulma
"I think I'll skip breakfast today" he said fleeing the room and went to the GR machine. With a shaky hand he took off the glove from his right hand and gasped in terror when he saw that three stars had moved away from the group
"No, no, no" he said as the memories from last night came back to him
"I don't see why you are trouble yourself with this, they got what they deserved they played with fire and got burn" said a voice inside his head
"You killed them" said Vegeta with a raspy voice
"No…you did"
