At least Robert's flailing gave Harrison something to do. As for Jerry... he was on a roll*.

The female moon hunter snapped her attention to Jerry as he chastised them, her expression shifting just slightly into a distinct frown. It wasn't an angry frown, but it certainly leaned a little towards annoyed, her eyebrows furrowing slightly in what could almost be described as a pout, had it not been Petra. Perhaps it was because there was a touch of color to her cheeks that might have been reminiscent of embarrassment that this irritation showed, like Jerry thought she wasn't doing her job, something that most certainly cut her to the quick. Especially since he was a Zeta, the only Zeta she had any interest in and worried about, even if it often only showed through in touch to his shoulder or a quirk of her eyebrow. So she shot him a look, scowling a little but obeying without question, her mood turning slightly sullen as she arced her mace wide, forcing the shadowlings back towards Jerry's bazooka.
It didn't help that, in a pure show of masculine challenge, Robert grabbed her around the waist, jerking her close to press his lips against her forehead, even as she almost dropped her mace to catch her hands on his chest. In that second, her attention flicked back to the large man still holding her as he fought, giving him a dark look as he missed a shadowed monster as it crept closer, creeping just behind his peripheral vision. Shoving off him roughly, she barely had time to catch the grazing of more claws on her arm as she lifted it quickly to block the attack, crushing it with Cain soon after, eyes drifting back to Jerry as his voice echoed down the hall.
"s**t. He's singing."
It wasn't so much that he was singing that was the concern. Jerry, it seemed, was frequently singing. But singing in a battle, she had a feeling, was certainly not a good thing.

Robert grinned, though his grin fell when he saw the claws against her skin. His hand brushed across the cuts briefly, and he bent down to kiss them, before moving to stand in front of her.
"What's so bad about that?" He murmured quietly, his grin, as maniacal as it ever was, now returning.
"Juuuuuuuust-"
Oh God.
"THINKIN' ABOUT-" He sliced a shadowlings head right off. "TOMORROW." And another. "CLEARS AWAY THE COBWEBS AND THE SORROW~"
Robert, you should not have such a powerful singing voice. Jerry's never going to leave you alone, now.

"TILL THERE'S NOOOONE!"
Jerry beamed at Robert's joining in, as though that was exactly what he was looking for.
Unfortunately, that moment of adoring distraction left the Sun Trainee open, his wavering note cut short as a shadow leaped down onto him, and instead wobbled and stretched out into a strangled wail. It pinned Roar to his chest, oblivious to the spines as claws reached back, ready to silence that horrible jolly racket...

Harrison could not, if his life depended on it, sing. And if he had hummed along, there would have been an immediate call for him to stop. It was really just that bad. Maybe, at this juncture, it was a good thing.
A shadowling got past him, and once one got past...he waded furiously through, then swung the longer sword back, and treated the gibbering shadowing that had tackled Jerry like a very lively hockey puck.

For half a second, Petra just stared at her fiance, one eyebrow quirked at him, her mouth half-open to respond that Jerry was probably not quite all there at that point, whether due to lack of sanity or comfort.
And then Robert started singing too.
Staring at him blankly, the moon hunter sighed and rubbed her temple, resting the tip of her mace onto the ground so she could lean against it, one hand on her elbow, the other pressed to the bridge of her nose.

Fuuuck. Now that he'd started, there was no stopping him. He stood by Jerry, while still making sure to keep his girl by his other side, and if one was looking closely enough, one might even see a few dance steps thrown in there.
No one better be looking closely.
"WHEN I'M STUCK WITH A DAY~" The scythe cleared right through a shadowling as he grunted the word 'day' very manly-like..
"THAT'S GREY~" He twirled it and cut across two oncoming shadows, taking them both down with one slice.
"AND LOOOOONELYYYYYY~" This was going too far.

"I... I stick out my chin..." Jerry panted, gathering himself up as Harrison finally leaped to his rescue. "And Grin..." And he did, his voice picking up it's fervor again as he hefted Roar once more... "AND SAAAAAAY...." BLAM BLAM!

Robert could feel Jezebel ready to burst, but he had a better use for her than confusing the shadowlings. At least, he thought it was a better use.
Just as the music swelled in his head, he picked Jezebel up above him, and twirled her like a helicopter blade. He could hear his scream in her head as she burst out with light, putting Jerry and himself in a blazing spotlight - that didn't affect the shadowlings one bit.
His own voice cried out in time - but not in tune - with Jezebel's harpie scream.
"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH~~~~"

First, Petra's face was like this:

Then, when he forced her into their 'chorus line,' it was like this:
-3-
And finally, as she had to jump in the way of a shadowling to protect Robert as he exploited his weapon's fear to create a spotlight for him and Jerry, it was like this:

"SingitRobbie!" Jerry breathed, eyes practically sparkling as he wobbled backward beside him under the light, ""The sun'll come out.... Tomorrow" He carefully made sure Harrison was behind Roar's trajectory, but his eyes were locked on the Singer, torn straight from Broadway... "So ya gotta hang on... till Tomorrow... come what maayy...."
He took Warbuck's harmony, letting Robert and his magical, heart fluttering, shadow shaking tenor take Annie's, belting forth with a wild, "TOMORROW! TOMORROW! I'LL LOVE YA' TOMORROW!"
Wait... wait wait no UP aim UP!! Roar's excitement and forgiveness of his partner's seeming loose bolts as Jerry's grip on him had lowered with his distracted tragectory, the sun hunter so caught up in their spirit-lifting musical interlude.... and promptly shot at their feet. It at least produced a sort of interesting rippling effect, the blowback of howling bark not only punctuating the swell of the song as well as sending their coats and scarves flying dramatically.

The sound of rubble falling follows the harpy scream, and a chorus of echoes emerges from a newly opened stairway leading to the school basement and the heart of the shadowling nest.

At the shriek and sound of a cave in and worse than that a lot of answering voices, and after all the dramatic coat-swirling Harrison edged closer to Jerry, sending another shadowling careening into the black.
"Jerry," he said, for the first time since they started seeming...unsettled, "not to interrupt or nothing, but..."

Robert and Jerry were on a roll, as they finished off the song in classic, duet style. It was truly a moment to remember - or hopefully, to forget.
Even as Robert slammed down another shadowling, he caught Petra's look, and his hand pressed against the back of his head sheepishly.
".. Sorry honey." He sing-songed with a guilty tone, and quickly wrapped his arms around her when the rubble began to fall, blocking any from hitting her.
