Distracions; Ami was being one. He'd turned his head to respond to her, but his finger was squeezing the trigger, and the Fear bullet went far off it's mark.
Crap.

Lex grimaced, but complied. This really wasn't the time, but if he didn't? Regal would start singing opera. Glass shattering opera.
"Well, I can't say I was expecting this much action, no." He gave a small chuckle, though it wasn't as sincere as he would have liked it. "But hey, baptize 'em by fire, right?"

More partial to complying now that there was so much going on, Belladonna nodded once before she took a few steps behind Ofelia. Those scary, glowy things had not been on her hands before, but they looked far too dangerous for the witch to even bother getting close to. For a moment the witch followed their movements, awe and worry mingling uncomfortably in her stomach as she watched. Should that weapon be turned on her, things would get very ugly, very quickly. But mostly for the witch. Still, there was a fight going on, one that she needed to participate in. Glad she had the option of hanging back, Belladonna took a few more steps behind the Hunter as she snatched up a card from the circle that danced around her and flung them at the monster. It didn't seem to have much affect, but the witch didn't much care. Frantically she scanned the crowd, eyes peeled for a flash of blue, of lightning of-- "Mort!!"
With a silent promise to return to her fellow red head's side, Belladonna darted forward toward the zombie. Totally uncaring for one brief second that there was a fight raging around, a hand latched onto his jacket, content to even have just that. Her face crumbled with worry at his strange look, something was wrong, but Belladonna was torn between asking and assuming it was just the continual fight. Unwilling to speak just yet, least she say something wrong, she instead tugged him back toward the spot she had inhabited previously where Ofelia provided shelter as well as ironic comradery.

Selene had spent most of her time hiding.
It was easy, in the fog. It was easier, when Professor Norvie kept running in and out of it, looking for more samples. It was easiest, when nobody seemed to notice her. Maybe someone thought she was just another figure made up by the fog. She certainly blended in well. She couldn't speak loud enough for anyone to hear, over all of this madness. It was just too simple to be missed.
This had saved her several times before, and had served her well in this crisis as well. But there were often times when even a quiet little thing like Selene couldn't let herself go unnoticed.
A giant monster attacking her students was one of those few moments. There were very few indeed.
"Don't get too close now," She whispered to one such student that stormed off, ready to fight without a single shred of worry. She held her arm out to try and stop them, but they never noticed. When another ran by, she stumbled to follow, tripping on her third step and falling to her knees. "Careful, please-" She begged them as they ran off to fight, but none of them listened. None of them seemed to want to keep away from what was obviously a dangerous fight.
What did they teach these kids at Amity, anyway?!

It was one thing to step into a place, another to step into a battle.
Sharra swore viciously as he took into account the size of their opponent, also the mass chaos about them. Hunters...students...With a snarl, he ran forward, his heart pounding furiously as everything in him, and the voices to boot, screamed for him to do the exact opposite. Claws extended, he made his best attempt at striking the massive creature. FEAR could almost be tasted in the air, but at least it seemed that everyone had the same idea.
Not really all that odd considering the terror that loomed.
He hardly had a second to peer around, brushing against one of the others every now and again, to really search for familiar faces. It didn't matter, in these moments, if he even knew them. This. This is what they had been leading up to, or at least, he could hope that it was so, that finally they would be rid of the Insanity that had plagued them, that had nearly destroyed the lot of them. He'd protect that which he loved. Odd, perhaps, to say it was what he was fighting for, like a storybook character.
However, Sharra felt at this moment, that the lot of them just might be worthy of the title. That just perhaps...they stood a chance against this nightmare.
But was it ever that easy?
Of course not. His swipe went tragically wide.

Ofelia had been about to attack again when she felt Belladonna leave her for something and a cold panic flooded the Hunter's senses. She was no longer focused on fighting, she was all alone, and her hands instantly went up to her face again as her fingers pressed into her flesh.
"AUUGHH! CLOVER! BEEDEE!" She was shrieking in the middle of the battlefield, ready to run for anywhere and everywhere, when the appearance of Belladonna and Mort back close to her settled her nerves. Her fingers were still on her cheeks, forcing the blades of her weapon to stick outward as though she has spikes shooting out from beneath her eyes. Ofelia lowered her hands though as soon as the pair of Halloween students were within reach and she grabbed them close, pulling them both against her in a strong embrace. "Stay wit' me, dun leave dun leave."
To anyone looking at them, this probably looked horrible. A single Hunter hugging two Halloween students close as though they were treasures? As if anyone would even really notice, everyone had their own agendas.
He didn't have to wait long for a reply, and he almost sagged in relief when Yin appeared to agree with him. "Of course we won't stop fighting." He wouldn't have asked for that, not of Yin, at least. He knew better then to ever ask for something like that, if he still had the right to ask anything at all.
He backed away from the large creature, stumbling steps taking him further and further back while taking brief moments to scan their surroundings. It seemed like more had arrived, or perhaps just more were revealed now that the fog had shifted. More friends, more enemies.....
......But where had all the horsemen gone?!? There absence has only just struck him, giving him an odd feeling inside. Had Medea abandoned them, knowing that the battle at hand was futile and that they would all die here? No. No, he could not believe that, could not afford to think in that way.
"Just a minute to regroup." He agreed, drawing his attention back to the problem at hand.

A flash of red and she was there against him where she belonged, where his arms moved to encompass and glue her there. Alive, breathing, warm, there, with something sweet in her hair like there always was, Jack he missed that -
- But he did not miss that look. The turn of her brows made him furrow his with latent suspicion. What was she concerned about? He was just fine, stop looking at him like that -
And then he was engulfed by another pair of arms. Horde found. He issued a small sigh, their clinging dulling the edge of whispers for a short time. Now all they had to do was find Home . . . But Mort spotted the blood on Ofie's weapons and immediately stiffened as he thought of the worst, wriggled out, grasped the witch's arm, and yanked her along with him and away. Narrowed eyes met the hunter's one as he growled, Thor powering up with energy. He gave her bloody knuckledusters a pointed look, then shot the pent up energy in a bright blast at the enormous creature - as if to make a point that lying or not answering him would grant her a similar fate.
Horde or not, friendly or not, this zomboil was in no gaming mood. He had made it clear he had problems with her weapon out by his witch, and now he was making good on it - albeit in a needlessly dramatic and most definitely illogical manner. After all, had he cared to look he would have noted Belladona was just fine. But then, his mind was not really cohesive at the moment.

As Harrison stumbled into the grey, fog glowing an evil red and area overtaken by the chaotic mill of students and hunters, the groan of something giant moving between them, he realized where he was.
The cliffs. The damn cliffs, and that...that ******** it was that had nearly killed all of them, it was back-
His emotions were still windmilling over and over- Rep was here. Unmistakably him. Limping and dragging Tracey after him, shirt bright with blood in the fog, and suddenly, very clearly, through the noise, through the anarchy, it was all that mattered.
Harrison was at his side in a split moment, the heftiest of his various healing items in his hands, as he wordlessly tugged Rep forward and bandaged his battered middle, working under the jacket.
He only spared a few edgy glances at the students, and the giant, hissing threat overhead- absorbed in sopping up the blood, not letting Rep get to the point where the other guy got, bleeding out with nobody to hold him together, and he was so glad to see him, so glad he was okay...
Harrison secured the bandages, clipping them, as the runes lit up with a cold, friendly glow, and checked the others- sturdy for now, his arms and shoulders, the muscles were tight, but okay- Harrison looked up at Rep.
His voice was rough, and if he and Rep hadn't been so close, Rep wouldn't have been able to hear it at all. "Where you go, I go," he said.
In a quick, fierce motion, he wrapped around Rep's neck and kissed him deeply.

The ghoul stopped beside the fallen teacher leaning over to help Selene to her feet. "You can't stop them." She added solemnly. "No one can, we faced this fight once before. In this house... in this room I think." Her right hand helped to steady the teacher as she flexed her left fist, purple flames crackling along the black burned bone.
"This was how I got my arm after all."
She looked up towards the beast, what she could assume was only the same creature as before when Red had fussed with her weapon.
"We killed her once, it was a mistake, this time... I don't know anymore."

Running down the stairwell, Kat was quite pleased with herself for slamming the door in that spirit like figures face. They did challenge her to leave after all, and she did. They weren't so smug after that!
Arriving on the scene, Kat practically gawked at the large creature that everyone was clearly focused on taking down. Well, she had been itching to shoot at something, and there were plenty of targets here. For now, she would focus on this huge a** creature.
At least it wasn't that hard to miss.

...What did she do now? When she considered the fact that this whole situation seemed to mirror the one from a year ago, Xiu was hesitant to continue her attack. After all, many of the students--and many of the hunters--knew how that particular incident had turned out. What if this creature was someone else that they knew? Maybe not Red--because Red was...--but someone else? A classmate, a friend...another professor?
And speaking of professors, from the corner of her eye, Xiu realized that one was them was trying futilely to discourage the students from attacking. The baku simply gave a sad little shake of her head to herself, knowing full well that their student body--herself included--could be much too stubborn for their own good. When they perceived something to be a threat, they did what they could to protect each other.
She began to turn away in search of her friends, but before she could, she caught sight of the female professor suddenly stumbling and falling to her knees. Alarmed, the baku immediately made her way towards her, slipping her way through the crowd and towards Selene. "Professor, are you okay?" Her brows were knit in concern as she reached a hand out to her, but relaxed slightly when another student--a rather familiar one--also came forward to help. Xiu offered the other ghoul a small, friendly smile, though it faded a little at her words. Yes...unsurprisingly, many of the other students had clearly noticed the similarities as well.
...Then what was that creature?

The first shot wasn't too bad.. she hit it at least, but she knew she could do better than that as well. Waiting for Xedis to finish charging again for another round, Kat took the chance to see were everyone was at.
There were no horsemen that she could see in sight, but there were definitely plenty of students and hunters here. Ami and Lex were not too far from where she was at, but she would join up with them after. Right now, there was work to do.
