As he drew closer to the large sized creature, eyes forever flickering upward, unable to stop himself from eyeing that glowing, open maw, just waiting for the attack that was likely to spew forth and burn him into nothing more then a pile of ashes, he shook his punching arm out once more. It had been given time to recuperate from his last two punches, but even as he swung it forward again he could feel himself holding back.
The result was a very light rap on the creatures hide with his knuckles. Probably not very effective in taking it down in the slightest.

He felt Eva's arms around him as she hugged him from behind, and then she was looking at him with wide, concerned eyes that made him swallow hard and look away.
"I'm fine," he said, and then leaned over and kissed her cheek, his own tinged a bright red as he looked back at the monster in front of him, dread filling his stomach.
The whispers were begging, screaming for him to run, but through the fog in his mind, Jerry recognized that massive, monstrous face slowly swiveling this way and that amongst it's attackers.
The burn scars on his face, his neck and back itched as though trying to crawl away in fear.
RUN RUN RUN it wasn't Roar's voice, he wasn't sure who's voice, but the man stood his ground, eyeing the beast through cracked glasses.
He had thrown his life away in front of this beast for a woman who hadn't even loved him.
But he wasn't a trainee any more. His brain was reeling, feeling as though it was going to rip in two. If he could destroy the monster, he could go Home, right?
Find your Jerry Place, ********, in his mind there was a hand on his shoulder, a gentle smile and a horrific leotard behind him.
The Sun Hunter raised his weapon, his face trembling.
Inhale deeply.
Pull the trigger.
The blast went ripping forward with a boom of sound...

It took Thackery a great deal of time to descend that staircase. He'd turn back every now and then, just wondering if Ash was still behind him somewhere, lost in that house. Eventually, something called to him ahead, and the direction his mind began to urge him in was forward. He might be somewhere down here, too.
But when the stairs stopped carrying him downward, the fog didn't clear, and still nothing seemed right. He'd emerged into chaos and battle and a very, very large thing attacking without discrimination.
He kept his distance, stomach churning with some odd mixture of solemnity and terror. Everyone else seemed to be striking the monster, Hunters and students alike. Was this a Horseman monster? Where were they? Shrinking back with uncertainty, he chewed his lip, debating a course of action. He still didn't see Ash here, and that was his only business, unless Reine or a kitsune showed up. And even then he'd just defend them, so...
No, he wouldn't hit this thing. He wouldn't. Things weren't right here, and this creature could very easily be someone he cared about, someone that someone else cared about.
Ofelia was about to strike at whatever had lunged at her when she noticed it was Before and the looks of confusion and terror she wore slowly started to fade. It was replaced swiftly with one of relief, even if she was being yelled at, and although Ofelia wanted to hug this newcomer close they had their weapon out, just as she had Rue.
"Why? Why are we takin' cover, why are we hidin'? Shouldn' we jus' kill it?" She asked, pointing. "Take it down, take it down? We're trespassin', so best ta kill the master b'for anythin' happens, right?" Why would they need to hide, why did Before sound so desperate for her to do so?
Deryk hadn't been around last year so he didn't find anything particularly familiar about this. All he really knew was that the big beast looking like it was ready to do a hyper beam or something like that was definitely not a good sign. Maybe. Just maybe they could take it down before it did just that. Or would it really do any good? Maybe he was just being useless again.

Before realized Ofelia had a very good point. "Hey! Yeah! Someone did say the best defense is a good offense!" he flashed a set of pearly whites at the Sun hunter before the Mist began to spin on his heels, building up enough momentum and finally letting the large wheel loose upon the creature. And exactly like last year, Before watched the spiked wheel ricochet off the creature and return to his open arms with a dull thud.
"Okay, uh, iunno how much that thing can take, but it's looking like it's about to blow s**t up!" Before pointed out rather unhelpfully.

Harrison nodded back, still in tangled proximity, and those words, in his voice, had been everything he needed to unknot the grief and loss of balance, even with both of them sore and bloodied.
Harrison smiled, and it was genuine. The Joy had an easy conduit now.
"First things first. We got some business to clean up."
He turned to look at the titanic dragon.
"Uh. Just as soon as I figure out how- ...it look- bigger to you?"

The gesture that indicated the witch should take safety underneath the rocks was replied to with a raised eyebrow and a look that had an 'Aw, hell no' quality to it. Belladonna. Take shelter under rocks? That could be easily dislodged? Thus echoing, even further, the first trip with all the Fog and Insanity? Ha ha ha ha no. Instead she shook her head and followed him back toward Ofie, even somehow managing a smile now that Clover was back. The other Hunter was eyed suspiciously, but nothing done about it for there was a much bigger enemy at hand. Though, even had it not been rampaging, he most likely would have gone unbothered. "Totes. We should probably at least ready ourselves for such an attack." Belladonna spoke up, instantly pursing her lips at Clover's silly word and her own use of it. These Hunters and their odd ways of talking! Quickly, so she at least return her attention back to her friend, the witch threw a card and the monster before she looked back at Ofelia and Clover, one hand still wrapped in Mort's. It was good to be back by them, they were her darlings, after all.

"You got your hits in.. Just.." Bix wouldn't let go of her. "You're emotions are nuts. You need to let the others help to. You can't protect everyone. You almost punched me in the face! Calm.. please." He didn't want to end up diving in front of fire to save someone's life again.... but he would if he had to.

The memories of this fight came in and out, and Marcus winced at each roar, each attack. They'd survived this once hadn't they? Or was this too, an illusion? Dis only laughed in his head, telling him it didn't matter. To do his job, get back what he'd lost. It was not talking, it was ordering, mindless. The vampire was confident his hunter would survive. After all, once when he'd been a trainee this had happened and he'd been fine. There was no cause for concern. Not from Dis anyway, he'd just keep his little hunter safe, get him the power they both needed.
But-
There was always a but wasn't there. Dis was hungry. He wanted to feed, get a little bit of power. Marcus looked at the hunters breifly before giving into the weapon's demands. Feed Dis, then defend.
Ok. This girl was DEFINITELY crazy. The way she talked only made him want to hurt her more.
"Who said I wanted to claim myself as God, you stupid bimbo? Stop talking like a retard."
And then... she started screaming. And... another hunter came out of nowhere, and both were acting stupid. ... Then there was a zombie too. A freaking. tall. zombie. Nothing made sense anymore.
Ignoring them, he re-focused his attention on the beast.

Rep gave Harrison the easy smile of someone who pretty much no longer feared anything on that battlefield. "Nope. Just as ******** enormous as when it just showed up."
He narrowed his eyes at it and hefted Tracey. "Well, maybe just a wee bit smaller now."
And with that he was off at a run back into swinging range of the glowing beast, Tracey's runes a mere imitation of the light from the creature. He didn't need to look back or ask Harrison to come with him. It was a simple given assumption that he wasn't alone any longer in this fight.
The hit he landed was almost as hard as his previous attempt at a charge.

Dis hissed at Marcus when his swing was too wide, too halfhearted. Was he still so broken up about those empty words he'd given that illusion of Cass? Did he have a death wish? Did he want to be weak? Helpless? Worthless? Acid from Dis burned him, his pride coming forth. This was why he loathed Dis. Pointing out all his flaws, pointing out everything he hated in himself. How Dis would so casually dismiss his own feelings on one subject yet focus on another. Weapon and Hunter were at odds, yet neither refused to give up, refuse to 'quit'. Neither wanted to give up, give into the other.
Only Marcus had reached that point, part of him had. A curse he went after the thing again, wincing as Dis hissed in his head, demanding. As the Weapon got his 'bite' of FEAR, the moon hunter backed away. Dis was appeased. Now- To appease him with the other command, to defend.
Teal eyes turned sharply at the unfamiliar hunter, "What did you just call her?" he demanded, swinging his weapon idly by his side. Before had never seen the dude until then but then again, new-faces were just popping up everywhere, weren't they? He was going to have to see how Elf was doing if they survived this. "Iffin' you wanna be all by your lonesome, I totes don't mind taking Dinah with me." Before looked dead serious at this offer, his stance indicating that he wouldn't even give the new-guy a glance back.
Hearing a familiar voice, Before seemed to brighten, then immediately looked torn. Oh ********. He didn't know this new-Hunter and his stance with Halloweeners. He really didn't want to risk Bella and Mort getting hurt :/ "Find something to huddle behind! Yeah! Go go go!" he cheered, trying to keep the Insanity at bay with pure enthusiasm. Last year, he'd been completely devoid of feeling save for anger and hate and bitterness. This time, he was excited and eager and manic. Before really needed to work on moderation > 3>
