Malodore hung back, its gaze narrowing at the hooded figure; it wasn't going to grant them more of its FEAR, not quite yet. Not when the creature had answered it. Perhaps they could get some information out of them... "None of us know what you are talking about... but we've seen your kind before, haven't we? In Halloween Town on the borders of Amityville Academy," it said, keeping its tone level, yet projecting its voice to be heard. "If your kind can go there, why do you need FEAR from us, here? You don't seem very well organized, not from where we're standing, if your plan is based on ill-advised field trips and random strikes."

Perhaps asking it questions would result in some sort of exposition...? The other one had kind of liked monologuing, after all.

She did, she did feel her FEAR draining from her at the mere aura of the weapon. And yet. It did not scare her, no it enraged her. How many times where they going to change the bloody rules! This combined with it's words, once again ever so helpfully cryptic caused an outburst from the drop bear.

Yelling she let forward bat seining fiercely before finally managing to articulate herself after the strike. "Then what will we be! Because your right we don't know anything! You all keep expecting us to get your games and know what's going on but HOW COULD WE! Where just kids! Like 303 said where just a bunch a kids separated from the adults who are supposed to care from us and DOING OUR BEST TO SURIVE THIS JACK FORSAKEN ISLAND!"

Puffing from the energy she had put in the rant her eyes bored into the figures, demanding answers, finally sick if guessing everything. She wanted some Jack damn answered and that would require some Jacking exposition from this figure.

The room was noisy. Yet somehow, under the thrum of all the FEAR infused weapons, and students yelling out their war cries, Riley had been standing right next to Lizzy when she muttered under her breath. Riley's thoughts had mirrored the other demoness exactly, and she let her mace fall to her side, limp and powerless.

We're just powering it up. Riley seethed, clearly frustrated with her lack of options. On the one hand, she could try fighting the old fashioned way - as tempting as that was, she knew that the reaper was reacting to their blows because they were stronger now. They had a chance, as slim as it might be, to bring him down if they threw everything they had at him. And yet, everything a bunch of students had really wasn't that much, now was it?

Another piece clicked.

Ants. Little ants, hardly powerful enough to take anything on, on their own. And yet.. not powerful enough to charge his weapon in one attack. They were too young, too new. Was that why they were the only ones who stood a chance against him?

Riley's weapon burst to life in her hands, and the echo of her weapon glinted in the reflection of her eyes. All right. She whispered. If our only chance is to bring you down before you can finish us off.. then I'm ready to give it all I've got.

She knew they were being drained. She knew they had little to no time left. So what did they have to lose? It was all or nothing, at this point.

Riley's wrist flicked the mace in a twirling motion, before she brought it down on the figure with a steady grip to attack.

Mac was clearly not having a good day.

On top of everything he'd been through, his energy was being drained. Again. The first time left him with a nice little souvenir, and this time there were no marks, but he was less than thrilled. Plus, he was being offhandedly offended by the Reaper who said he would be offended to be called just that.

"That...That was low, man." The proudly Halloweenian Reaper gripped his wooden bat, which had started to look more like his usual white birch staff, and stepped forward to attempt to hit his opponent again...only to miss him(?) entirely.

Well, Jack.

Soon after his attack had connected, Jericho felt weaker, as if his energy had been siphoned. This felt rather familiar to the time that one reaper paid their campus a visit. Hopping back for a moment, he stared as he saw the guy's weapon grow brighter. It didn't even have to attack them to drain their FEAR!

"Whatever the hell you are, we're still going to take you down!" he growled while rushing back forward, "I'M SICK OF THIS PLACE AND ITS JACKED UP FOG AND ALL YOUR FEAR STEALING WAYS!"

Though, in the back of his mind, an exposition would have been nice. But he wanted to take this guy down too if he could help it. Memories of being taken down so easily at the school just infuriated him more. Bringing his weapon over his head, he tried to see if he could somehow cleave this guy in half... with a wooden blade. A wooden toy blade at that.

It didn't quite work out that way, but it was still a pretty hefty blow.

Astra scrambled backwards to get out of the others way, but could still feel her FEAR being siphoned of, making her even weaker. Plus it seemed as he absorbed more FEAR, his scythe grew even brighter. But even as he absorbed their FEAR, their attacks still had an effect on him. Perhaps if they kept up their attacks, they would be able to defeat him!

Getting back to her feat, she channeled more FEAR into her own sword, which began to take on a more warped appearance, similar to how her staff looked...

Ahh, how did she miss it...

The words that the figure said to them further annoyed the fairy reaper, feeling rather insulted by them. As such, she jumped forwards again for another attack, hoping against hope that he could be finished before anyone else could get hurt.

Dodging and recover, dodge and recover. The figure had gone quiet through it all until Jericho's question, "FEAR stealing ways? You really are a bunch of little innocents, despite everything. All FEAR is stolen. You come here, invade our sanctuary en masse, and then have the sheer gall to blame us for your misery? Blame whoever brought you. Blame your own existence. But don't blame us."

ssssstttt.....ssssttttttsss.......ETA 5 minutes....ssssstttt


"Or do blame us, and fight for all you're worth, because guess what? The cavalry's coming, and soon enough the numbers won't be on your side any longer." He raised his spear to strike and then...nothing.

"Oh...reluctant are you?" His voice is soft, almost as if speaking to himself. "You'll pay for this, you know..."

The enemy sighed, and spoke to the group, "You know that story we were talking about? The crappy one with the nice ending? You'll be experiencing it yourself before too long."

Arachne winced as her Fear slipped away from her, drained by whoever this idiot was. What did it mean, they wouldn't leave the Island as they were? She tried to think clearly, looking around at the others, glad that Sepheran had made it up here and flashed him a weak smile.

She tried to gather her thoughts, concentrated a slim measure of her Fear into the weapon to try again as she attacked, but she lost concentration and the wooden table leg almost slipped from her grasp and she couldn't even muster a strike that time.

The stranger was...draining them? Not good. With a group this size, they still had a chance, though. Numbers mattered. Only, now the stranger was talking about a cavalry? More of them? They needed to hurry.

Draven readied himself again, and charged the figure, swinging his sword and hoping for a hit. He connected this time, then quickly stepped back.

"How exactly did that story end again?" Draven asked the cloaked figure. Maybe they could still get some answers out of him, an exposition would be nice. Though he really didn't expect much.

Oh sure, now the b*****d was talking, but it seemed that all he could do was ramble, make dire threats without ever really explaining anything. Ranting about FEAR now, was he? All FEAR was stolen? Well Sharra had never truly thought about it, but in a way, he rather supposed that it was true. Mind, it didn't matter to him now, a boil had to have his priorities, and now...well...it was to ensure that he and his friends lived through this fight, and made it off of this Jack-forsaken island.

"Oh really? Y'wanna tell us that story then? I don't think my aunts mentioned it when they tucked me in at night!" Reaching out, he slashed at the reaper, and he noted that the blow hardly connected in the satisfying fashion that the previous one had. Ah well, distracted this time...a shame. Perhaps he'd get an exposition for his trouble. "Or maybe you could tell us just what grand scheme you and your buddies are hatching that we apparently can't escape?"

Yeah. An explanation would be really nice.

Sepheran's breath grew slightly heavy as the odd sensation of having his fear drained began to take effect. Judging by the words of the cloaked figure they didn't have much time either. If they could finish this and make it to the portal...maybe...just maybe...

Raising his sword once more Sepheran bolted forth attempting another strike. With his energy being drained however he merely managed a small swipe against his target. He hissed lowly and jumped back again.

"No grand scheme!" The enemy had started getting downright cheerful by now, whatever was coming would definitely be to his benefit. "Well, if you truly want to know...the end of the story goes like this, The young loser was weakened over time and caught at leisure. He screamed and cried for days on end, but finally, finally the crying stopped. Because he had been transformed. Born an abomination, he woke to an existence the encompassed beauty, power, and the ability to balance this world. To save it." He spun the spear around and it's glow intensified, "And then he had to go deal with some monstrous little creeps because someone felt this was an ideal spot for a field trip of all things."

Mandy fell to her knees as the latest drain washed through her, sucking her FEAR away. Her head was starting to feel fuzzy around the edges and she was having trouble holding onto her emotions and thoughts. Which would probably explain what happened next.

"Abomination? You think you where, and we are abominations! Who are you to say your saviors! What's your town, whats your world! Who are you saving by being twisted! Because what I see now is a monster better than me! We didn't invade your sanctuary to attack! We where shipwrecked and washed up on shore AND WHAT HAPPENS? SOME CREEPS ATTACK THE HURT AND CONFUSED CHILDREN! WE WOULD HAVE STAYED OUT OF IT! WHOSE THE ABOMINATION NOW?!?"

Suddenly she let out a harsh laugh. "Thats why you have to steal FEAR directly from living citizens! You can't share in the bountiful supply in our lands!"

She trailed off after this realization muttering and seeming slightly crazed from the figures words.

Pain wracked the horse boil's body with each breath he took. Jack damn it, this guy was tough. He'd lunged forward for his lost weapon, barely managed to grab hold of it, exhaustion and fatigue and his FEAR draining from him at an alarming rate.

"Ain't us deciding where to go for a field trip!" Petro snorted, raising his weapon and infusing it with what little FEAR he had left. Were more of them coming? Were they all going to be as difficult to defeat as him? It felt like a hopeless situation.

But the monster horse wasn't going to just lie down and take it. No ******** way, he was going to fight and take as many of them down as he possibly could. Ignoring his track record of successful attempts at attacking, he swung his mace low at the figure's legs and felt the sharpened, enlarged spikes connect before he leapt out of the way.

"And y' still are an abomination to this "little creep," he added.
