FINALLY, I was dreaming this morning about vampires. And from that half awake state I bring you a new 5 minute movie short. Now this could be blown up into a tv series or expanded into a movie with this as the backdrop to a new world.
Beginning: an old abandoned neighborhood is burning. Camera slowly focuses in on a church and then to a cross being consumed by fire. Time lapse to the smoldering ruins of the church. Beneath the rubble something starts to move. The debris shifts and figures start standing up.
Vampire #1 "At last."
Vampire #2 "We're free!!!!"
~10 people that are obviously vampires stand up, stretching in the night sky and looking around. They have slept long and are a little confused by their surroundings.
A young voice comes from off camera, “You guys got up pretty quick."
Camera flashes over to the voice. A bunch of kids (early teens) sit on a bench almost as if they have been waiting for the vampires. The same kid that spoke earlier (kid# 1) states, “so, judging by your clothes, they caught you in the 1840's to 1850's right?"
Kid #5 checking his watch states,"5 minutes."
Kid #1,"Relax we've got plenty of time."
A few of the vampires hungrily look at the kids and begin a scary fang open approach. Kid #3 lifts up an arm that was heavily pulled down and behind one leg. It holds a really big futuristic looking gun. The vampires have seen guns before and after smiling keep walking forward. Kid #3 fires twice. Two blue energy balls shoot out completely disintegrating the vampires that were approaching. The remaining vampires express looks of confusion and fear.
Kid #1,"So, anyway, things have changed. This is the year 3012 and we've had plenty of time to develop ways to handle all problems. This is the UltraArms Plasma 10. It's a "
Kid #1 is interrupted by a vampire turning to mist and moving toward them. Kid #4 pops a small ball like electronic device and throws it at the mist. It explodes and the mist rapidly freezes. Kid #3 fries it with the gun. Kid #5 yells out," 4 minutes!!"
Another vampire yells out in anger and disappears with speed. A shoulder mounted device shoots out another small blue ball from Kid #5. The ball incinerates the fast moving vampire inches from the group of kids.
Kid #1 addressing the increasingly confused looks of the vampires, “As I was saying we have things like computers that interact with a miniature radar system and slaved plasma cannon to handle fast moving targets. I'd explain it all but we don't have the time and you wouldn't understand anyway." He states this as he motions to the gear on Kid #5. The camera pans this and also catches the last kid in the group filming all the action.
Half of the remaining vampires begin to flee in terror away from the kids. They get around a corner and there is a sound of more plasma bursts. Kid #1,"Damn the Devastators got here quick. We just lost 10 points."
Kid #5,"2 minutes!!"
The most intelligent remaining vampire yells out, “What’s going on here?!?"
Kid #1,"I've got to make this quick. Look, we're Team Nightstrike. And we're hunters in the C league."
Kid #2,"You see we do thermoscans to find vampires that have been trapped and then hunt them for points."
Kid #5,"F#*k!! They're here!!!"
A hover vehicle lights up the area and rapidly descends. 2 adults walk out of it. The adults have no gear.
Adult 1,"Davis!! Get over here! (speaking to kid #1) You're parents are going to suspend you for a month after they here you broke the law again."
Kid #1 (Davis),"We didn't do anything wrong. We only used force when attacked. Here's a copy of the implants, see for yourself."
Adult 1 taking a small disc from Davis, “You all go home now. We'll be talking to your parents if we find anything out of order."
Kids begin walking off angry that their fun is over.
Adult 2 turns to the vampires, “we’re so sorry you had to endure that. Unfortunately we haven’t found a way for kids to not go out looking for night time thrills. They form these leagues and sell the memory implants of them on the net. We are from the Department of Endangered Species and we are tasked with assuring that you are given appropriate refuge."
Vampire smiling," and yet you have none of the equipment of these children. A bit foolish don't you think?"
The vampire begins walking towards them. Adult 2 frowns, “The kids might not have told you much. Not only do we know how to kill vampires we have found many other interesting traits. For example we noticed that any religious symbol from a believer of that faith seemed to hold back and even harm vampires. Further study showed that people were actually tapping into hidden telepathic and psionic potential. Let me demonstrate."
The vampire that was approaching them barrels over in pain. Adult #1,"Now, that the unpleasantness is out of the way if you would all please enter the hovercar and take a seat towards the back we'll take you to the vampire refuge. Don’t worry, all your needs will be taken care of."
The vampires all walk into the car obviously depressed.
Adult #2 to Adult #1,"I love protecting nature’s weaker creations. It kind of makes me feel like I make a difference."
