During the time the figure and the other students had conversed with each other, Astra had moved to everyone side, staying in the back as she digested the meaning of his words. The meaning behind them wasn't quite clear, but it seemed that he wanted them to fight someone in the next. As to why, he gave many reasons, and again what he said could be interpreted so many ways. But the last thing he said hinted that they could go home if they fought this person. Was it true? At any rate, they didn't have anything to lose by trying it out.
Although, the idea of fighting was sounding less and less appealing. This person must be strong. Really strong, if the figure wanted them all to fight it. And they had to do it without half of their abilities?
"Why are our abilities all locked down?" She asked the figure. "Why can't Aksaja shift into his true form, or Mac and me summon our weapons? You want us to fight when we're can't use all our powers, that isn't fair!"

[PETRO'S BORN TO BE WI~LD~! 8D]
"Well, I don't think everything will be solved just after this fight, Charlie," She laughed, not sure if he understood what she was trying to say, but maybe if she put it in simpler terms... Uh, how to go about doing that? She paused momentarily, still hugging Charlie (she was actually getting used to the smell, yay!) as she tapped a finger on her chin, "Uh, there might still be things we have to do before we get to go home, but it'll be my treat! Uh... Pepperoni it is then. Your call."
She really didn't get that random outburst, but she guessed he was thinking of pizza.
"Lets do it, Mandy," She nodded as the drop bear opened the door before turning to look at Riley, giving her a nod as well; she was amused that it was mostly the ghouls who were stepping up to the challenge first, but... Ghoul power, yes?
Letting go of Charlie but hooking his arm as she grabbed her wooden bat with her other hand, Lizzy turned to glance at Mac. There was a short pause before she grinned, "We'll be waiting for you~"
That was then Astra's question made her pause. She had assumed it was because they were no longer in Halloween Town, but... If it was because they needed to be 'ants'... Not like he would answer anyway. Heh.

The door had opened and Mandy had started on through and now him and Lizzy were on their way to be joining soon too. Charlies wooden sword emerged from his free hand sleeve dropping to the floor. Quickly the demon bent down to pick it up.
"HAZZAH!" No, Charlie had no idea that it was not Hazzah but infact really he should have said Huzzah. A little detail the demon easily over looked but it wasn't important right now. What was important was to win this battle so he could get tasty treats after. Namely pizza.
"Come on Lizzy~" The demon tugged on the ghouls arm. The sooner through that door the sooner they would be rewarded.

 The figure watched silently as the students resolve to fight strengthened, but at Astra's words he sneered, "Do not speak to me of fair." He made a shooing gesture at her. "Go find your own answers." A pause and then more softly as we watched them file through the door, "...and good luck."

Another cloaked figure sits at a simple wooden table reading a book. The image is...a bit anticlimactic. As the student's enter the chamber, it turns a page with a sigh, not bothering to get up. "I honestly wish I could say it's a good read, but it really isn't."
The chamber itself is large, much too large to be part of the lighthouse, and yet you can see the light slowly rotating on a platform overhead. Well, what looks like a light at first glance but...on closer inspection, appears to be a glowing door of some sort. A portal.
"All this whining and complaining. Well, it's a journal, so it's to be expected, but really? How many ways can one creature say Wah, I'm alone and lost and scary people are after me!" They close the book carefully, "Missing a few pages, but in my opinion? No great loss."

Part of Astra was amazed the figure had even noticed her, let alone 'answer' her question. But the rest almost fumed because she gained no reasonable explanation as to why.
But she didn't have time to sit there and whine like some child. The rest of the group was going through the door, and she did not want to be left behind. Perhaps...she would be able to help them fight. Somehow. The fairy ran after the others as they went through the door

Petro frowned at Astra's cry for fairness, "Battles ain't always gonna be fair, y' just gotta deal." With that, he brought out his mace, opted not to imbue it with FEAR just yet, for once recalling the orders (and they sounded like an order not a suggestion) of limiting their usage of FEAR. He brought the weapon to rest on his shoulder, not so much as wincing from the metal bearing down on sore, aching muscle, and without another word, the horse boil followed the rest through the door.

At the tug on her arm, her attention returned to Charlie and she nodded, giving him her best reassuring, nothing-will-go-wrong smile. Then, she led them through the open door. She thought she heard the cloaked figure say something before they left, but she was too busy staring at the other cloaked figure in the new room to care. Its muttering made her upset - the notes they had found scattered around... They belonged in that journal?
The journal of some poor student who possibly died here, alone?
Looking around, she noticed the odd light above. She squinted... And realized that it was in fact, a portal - it was one of the things that really stood out in the room. She frowned, wondering where it might lead; one thing was for sure, however - they had successfully infiltrated the lighthouse. Yes, there were still many unanswered questions, but she was sure those would be answered in time.
More to herself than to anyone else, she murmured, "This was a triumph... I'm making a note here, huge success." Now to end this as well as they had started.

Riley stayed by the door, as she would not enter fully until Malodore and Jericho had entered. She rose one eyebrow at Lizzy's murmur, and though she too was glad to see a portal, Riley felt a distinct sense of disappointment.
It was too easy. She knew this had to be a trap. Riley's arms folded in front of her, dubious as to the legitimacy of the portal. Her voice was monotone, and thick with sarcasm as she responded to Lizzy's positive attitude on the subject. It's hard to overstate my satisfaction.

'just gotta deal with it?' Astra felt a little wounded by Petro's comment, knowing that she had been trying to 'deal with it; for the entire trip here, and finding it extremely difficult. But then, as she glanced at him, she noticed just how injured he was... It seemed he had been having just as hard a time as she.
As she walked through the door, she took one glance around...and was promptly disappointed.
Disappointed? well, not exactly, but she had been expecting something a little more...flamboyant. Like a giant battle. But hey, if this is wha they got, she wasn't complaining
Her attention was then drawn to the book in the others hand. A journal as he called it...one with missing pages. It didn't take a hole lot of brainpower on her part to guess that the pages they had found beforehand were part of this book. Not only that, but there also something else here...a portal?!?! she couldn't believe it! Could this portal lead them back home? she hoped so!
Over hearing Lizzy's statement, she said her own thoughts out loud as well. "Aperture science; we do what we must, because we can."

Mandys bat was raised and ready as they stepped through the doorway and into the unknown, well more unknown.
No matter how unassuming and anticlimactic the figure was she kept her guard up, they had been told they would have to fight so she would be ever vigilant for it.
Still she could not resist glancing at the light, no portal, above them. Another step to this signal and answers (and home)?
"I can think of quite a few ways, and really out here what else is there to talk about. Day 104 oooo look! more fog!" her reply to the newest figures musings was sarcastic but not mocking.

Stage 3 Fight! As more students came in, the figure pushed out it's chair and stood up. "I suppose that's true enough. The ending of the story's pretty nice, though. By the by, I heard 303's ranting outside. Is it too much to hope that the tower's still standing?" They gave a small stretch and held out a hand, and they suddenly held a large, glowing spear. HP: 99 Round 1 Choice You you attack or hang back? - roll for attack, you may attack once this round - bold hang back if your character chooses not to fight this round

"My, my what a large, painful and draining looking spear you have" Mandy deadpanned as the figure summoned it's weapon. Sighing she glanced around the room as though to check it truly was the only person in here before getting a rather resigned look in her face.
"Well seeing as your the only one in here and, 303 was it, demanded we fight whoever was in here I guess it's best we get on with it." she'd learned her lesson on hesitating to attack or missing already thank you very much. Her figure had been a good teacher.
Face resolved she brought up her bat and lept towards the figure to attack, trusting once again that the others would back her up.
CRACK
As quickly as her attack connected she was back with the group, out of the way if anyone else wanting to attack and from the spear - for now at least.

Damage: 3))

The ending of the story was nice? Astra wasn't sure what the reaper would consider a 'nice' ending, and she wasn't about to ask. The reaper was armed now, and sadly it looked like the fight was about to start.
Okay, time for a decision! To attack, or not to attack... If she didn't attack, and let everyone else did, it would take longer to defeat the reaper. But then if she did...well, it could get painful. And she wasn't exactly at full strength either.
After a few moments, she made up her mind. She lifted up the small wooden sword, then jumped forwards. Either this was the bravest...or stupidest move she ever did.
Oh well...she may as well make this stand out
"LEEEERROOYYY...." She shouted at the top of her small lungs. "JJJEENNKINSSS!"
...it felt like she was coping someone else at the moment
Musting up the rest of her speed, she used her wings to fly around the reaper and to slice at his legs, infusing her weapon with the least amount of fear as possible
((HP: 21
Damage: 10 - 6 = 4))

((ooc: JFC, DICE, Y U HATE ME? WRYYYYYYYY!?!?!? >:[ ))
This was his moment for Petro to redeem himself! There was an opening for him to strike and while the others took their swing, he lunged forward! But as he swung his weapon, the effort to infuse the mace with FEAR had taken its toll on his injured body. He had pushed himself too hard. Of all the times for the combination of injuries to come together and protest, it had to be now. His muscles were suddenly seized with spasms, and his grip on the mace grew slack, sending it flying out of his hands and way over the cloaked figure's head.
"Pesteng yawa naman ito. BAKIT BA NGAYON?!" He roared to himself.
