Jubilee vs Vampire

[angelophile]

Back in the 1998 Generation X Annual, the Gen X kids came into conflict with the granddaddy of all vampires - Dracula. (Possibly because Dracula was pissed at Chamber for being a descendant of his old enemy, Apocalypse, but that's another story entirely.) Anyway, they didn't fare great - Chamber was plagued by nightmarish visions, Paige gets stalked in her underwear (just so you know it really is a Dracula story, presumably) and Jubilee, well, it wasn't her finest hour...

This might possibly prove to be relevant.













Later there's a trip to the theater, where Jono gets tackled by a vampire in the rest room (although why he even needs to go there is a mystery), leaving Paige and Jubilee alone in the school.







Which means sneaking up on the blonde while she's wandering around in her underwear and kidnapping her, in good Dracula tradition. The rest of Gen X mount a rescue mission, but Jono's distracted by Dracula attempting to sway him with visions of his face and body restored and winds up being a snack, while Jubilee tries for a rematch.

It's brief.









Good to see Jono was raised on the Hammer Horror classics.

Only if you accept that "blood = lifeforce and lifeforce is the important bit, not the blood" as logical, which I accept you do, but which I don't.

*shrugs* Well, it's just a hypothesis. It just seems to me that there must be something IN the blood which keeps vampires going, and lifeforce is as good an explanation as any. (It would also explain how sometimes the victims become vampires themselves - presumably, if vampires can extract lifeforce, they can also inject a bit of their own, perverted lifeforce into the victim in the process, which remains in the body after death and resurrects them.) Still, it's not like I can provide documentation to support my point or anything.
