The entire hallway, remained for the most part untouched, with the exception of some of the more fabulous DETH posters and STAY AWAY pieces of tape. The single bookshelf was still half-open, inviting those inside, single file, one at a time, invited them into-
- That is, until students noticed someone else standing right next to it as well. Just a single figure, covered in a strange hooded garb, a reaper perhaps, their face obscured in folds of cloth.
They did not bother moving. "Now this is a problem." He seemed to be saying this to himself more than anyone else. "An untold tragedy in the making." One could almost sense the wry smile under their cloak. "How many of you are there, twenty, perhaps thirty? This would get rather unfortunate. Is there any way I can convince you to give up and turn around?"

Somehow, she was at the front. It didn't matter how fast someone walked or how long their stride was. Red would run, push, and elbow her way forward in order to be at the very front. It was here at the front that she would raise her hand to half those gathered behind her, bracing herself in case those who followed on her heels did not stop in time. There was no way she was going to let someone pass her.
Not now, and not with this stranger in their way. Red narrowed her eyes and sniffed, trying to place the hooded one's scent. Unfamiliar. Possibly dangerous.
"I think the chances of us doing what you requested depends on whether or not you can do the same," Red replied, a growl beginning to edge into her voice. "But then again, this begs the question of what you are doing in our hallway and in our way."

Quiet. Still. Unmoving. "We are here for the same reason, to protect, of course. Like you, I only require a simple request."
He addressed the most aggressive of the group: there would always be one of them, a would-be leader, someone whom others looked up to, forward to, someone who they would blame when things ultimately collapsed and fell. "You took something that belongs very specifically to me, and then invaded the one area under my jurisdiction. All I ask is for you to leave everything found, and return this item to me, surely one of you knows what I am talking about. I ask you this question then. Is your meddling worth the consequence?"

Their actions could put the school in danger. They could be responsible for bringing danger to the school. Red glanced first to the ice demon on her left, then to the glowing ghost on her right. She took a deep breath and focused her gaze on the stranger, her chin rising. "You are trespassing upon our territory; you had admitted as such yourself. You have no claim on what is here, as it is our's. It is us who must ask you to leave, trespasser."
Red took a step forward, shoulders squared. "There are those who believe they know better than others. There are others who would make choices for them, believing that what they know is for the greater good. There are then others who believe different. Are you one of the former, or of the latter? What you seek to gain is ours; you may not steal it away while we are here. The answer then," Red paused, raising one hand and turning it palm-up in a gesture of offering, "Is no, you."

Despite the most evident threat in Red's words, the figure still waited. Waited to see if anyone else would say otherwise, would take the moment to stand up.
Perhaps they were too slow, perhaps they were busy. Perhaps noone else wanted to take blame. Perhaps even, they resented her.
"Defiance, then." They slowly stood up, dusting off their cloak that was already quite frayed and dirty. "I wonder what everyone else thinks of your choice."
In a second, a weapon was in their hands, a scythe that seemed to glow on its own. The Reaper took a second longer to raise it to a neutral position, neither offensive or defensive but simply there. "However, one thing is true. Even if you do not wish to fight, as long as you have what I am need, I'm afraid I cannot let you leave."
An arc of blue sliced into the ceiling, collapsing the path behind them. OOC: BOSS FIGHT HP: ???/ ??? All battle mechanics are GO:- You may attack ONCE per turn but you have unlimited RP reactions. Feel free to reprimand others too/ quote NPCS/ etc etc/ not take a turn to attack. It was Defenders that provoked this person anyway, why would you support them? However, this reaper does not seem like they are letting you go any time soon, despite their words... - Once you have ENTERED this thread you CANNOT exit until after the boss fight! - Make sure to QUOTE anyone you are talking to.

For a long while, Argyle just stared.
And at the first possible opportunity, he turned to the rest of them, and with his arms folded across his chest, he said nothing but a loud, "WHAT DID WE TELL YOU. The Cave is ~bad juju~ and nooo don't go back in it and here you are, trying to get in the cave again, and look what happened."
He didn't seem to take the time to address the fact that he was here too. Or that there was a very specifically threatening figure not five feet from him. Told-you-sos came first.

[Entering] Prye had been just able to catch the tail end of the conversation, right before the weird cloaked one collapsed some of the wall with his scythe. Why was a reaper doing this? Why the hell did red seem so pissed? "Whats going on, Red." Pyre called out to her 'boss' of sorts, Boss of the Defenders at least. "...Shut up, Argyle." She managed to snap back out at the boil, a bit of a growl on her own voice. Stupid DETH people, always making s**t so much harder. If something wont move you punch the ******** out of it until it does, you dont HUG it. Stupid stupid stupid.

As Red had pushed her way to the front Quin had watched the exchange from somewhere in the middle of the crowd. She claimed no right to the treasure but in the end she still came up behind Red to stand behind their leader's decision, casting a cold glance in Argyle's direction.
For now she waited to see what would transpire before making any further actions.

It was that reaper. The one who'd struck him down so easily. The sloth was almost startled, tired eyes widening ever slightly. He watched the altercation, pondering if he should bother warning Red her actions. However, things came crumbling down once more.
Matt had no intention of helping. He only came here to hide from cleaning up the Festival anyway.
Matthew sighed and tried to stay away from the fight.

((Enter))
Ashly had followed the other defenders, but had easily fallen behind, not protesting in the slightest when Red elbowed her way up to the front. She was their leader, after all. Let the ghoul lead! She wasn't too far back, however, and had easily been able to hear the exchange between the Reaper like figure and Red.
Arms brought up to cross over her chest, she rolled her eyes at the loud protest coming from Argyle. Dear sweet Sally, was he seriously going on about that now when they were obviously faced with some psychopath Reaper? The b*****d had just used his scythe to collapse the ceiling behind them! She would have told the boil to shut up herself if Pyre hadn't beat her to it.
For now, she was just waiting for the command to strike.

"Shut up, Argyle." The Musimon had been there the whole time, keeping a steady but advantageous distance from Cricket. Protect the healer - that was his job. Then the little emo vampire decided to open his trap.
He always hated Argyle. And he decided to unload that hate right then. A winning sucker punch to the jaw, and a goatish snort. "Alright, so the big bad is here. You want to attack first, Boss?" He was addressing Red now; she was the leader, she had rights to first attack.

Sin arrived, wearing a hopeful backpack and carrying two large sacks, only to look utterly crestfallen as the cloaked figure returned.
He tried to speak up to say not to argue with him, but it was too late.
"Jack jacking jack jack jackers" he snarled. "I bet this ruins my gold suit. I wore it special."

Cricket couldn't help but fold her arms during the exchange, standing back and tapping her fingers against the crook of her elbow. Naturally, she had to admit she was siding with Red on this one - they'd never seen this stranger before and she almost expected him to have been the one who bled all the way back there earlier.
"Whelp. I'll be back here if you need me." she said calmly. As the Defender's healer, she'd probably do better to keep herself in one piece so she could patch people up, after all.

d**k had to admit that he was somewhat disappointed that he and Quin didn't get to roll around on the ground during their tussle some - it would have been super fun - but it seemed like their fearless leader, Red, had taken them someone a certain ounce more of fun.
Which was back into the cavern, of course. The ominous figure who had the exchange with Red only caused him to go 'Yeah! You tell him, Bosslady!" to Red, grinning widely.
A fight?
Ohhh, he was so ready for a fight.

Defiance, then. I wonder what everyone else thinks of your choice.Her hands clenched into fists at her sides. She could very well picture what others would think: shame, disgust, irritation, anger, pride. It was nothing new to the werewolf, who had run her mouth more than once without thinking when she first came to the school. Of course, back then her reward for her actions was to have been beaten down until she dissipated. "Not this time," Red growled to herself, taking a moment to crack her knuckles. She raised her voice, addressing Pyre first. "We have a disagreement here. One that I intend to solve quickly." Red glanced over her shoulder, giving the Musimon a vicious grin. "With pleasure. Watch my back." She wouldn't put it past another group to blame her for this and take it out on her while she was busy. The werewolf lunged forward, shifting into her natural bipedal form as she moved. She propelled herself through the air with a mighty leap, jaws and claws open to deliver the first blow. And deliver it she did.HP: 50/50 Dmg: CRITICAL HIT! 14 Fear: Battlecry, Unused
