He twisted - but not fast enough for the attack, just the jagged edge of serrated teeth, to graze his left side. It tore through his cloak like paper and left an ugly gash in its wake, but the Death Hunter continued moving, red splattering like a flicker of paint on the ground. He was trying to use the environment to confuse and distract the oversized opponent: a mere second's hesitation meant the inevitable.
Some of the Hunters, the ones still standing, reacted slowly, readying their weapons to fire and charge. Others paused, standing wide-eyed at the creature. Caelius spat out blood. "******** move your a** already! If anyone dies here, IT's Insanity will consume you." The undertone of that statement was grave: they would all be unnaturally stuck here. Hunters, creatures of Fear, anything that Red's Insanity could get its claws on.
The motion caused Red's head to turn and the Death Hunter was on the move, this time dropping his weapon in a flash of blue light - he seemed to teleport - right through the crowd of Hunters and students again, standing a fair range behind the colossus, swinging his weapon experimentally at the creature in a ranged shockwave. The scythe flickered slightly in response, but the attack remained true. The Insanity Despite Red "targeting" Caelius, her range is too large, and her AoE attacks are hurting everyone. It is clear that she doesn't care who gets hurt in the crossfire, Hunters and Halloween students had better take action before it is too late for them all! DEATH AND YOU For this boss fight, death works differently: HALLOWEEN: You dissipate, however your Fear does not go anywhere. Instead you are in a spiritual state where you can see and hear what is happening, however you cannot interact. You can see other shapes nearby, swirling about like mist. They're just standing there, watching... Some of you may get a sense of deja vu. Or is it deus vu? HUNTERS: Upon reaching 0, your weapon's Fear shield goes down as usual. If hit beyond 0, your weapon becomes paralyzed with the Insanity. It's dark. Where are you? You can't see anything. You can't hear anything. Where is your weapon? You... You are alone for the first time in many months. Are you... dead? If you are dead and are hit with a heal, you are brought back to life! It feels like slowly waking up, but... you're still rather... cold. It's a noticeable cold that just won't go away, and becomes more and more noticeable the more you die and wake up again.

Madison had frozen with fear when she took in the scope of the creature attacking them - a fear that only intensified when Caelius ordered to retreat, only for them all to realize that their means of retreat had been compromised. She crouched, shellshocked as the towering beast stomped past her. As the monster moved, something in the air flickered and shifted, slapping the world into shades of gray... other than the bright glow of the monster before them.
We... let's bite her, Kouki said; she got a mental impression of his heads shaking to drive off the strange haze.
HP 25/40

"You don't want that mask," said Gale loftily. "Couldn't breathe in the bloody thing, after all.
He caught Tika's eye, returning her smile with a small one of his own; more of a halfhearted quirk of his lips upwards, but a smile nonetheless. Her shout made him wince involuntarily - loud noises right next to his head were not really a good thing.
"Bix can handle himself," he replied, nodding. "So can Ariane. I'm sure they're kicking arse somewhere."
A pause.
"Well. I'm sure Boss is kicking arse. Bix is probably just being a dodo head somewhere."
Something blinked - as if a light had been turned out. Gale stared in front of him, trying to figure out if he was suddenly blinded, but he could still see -
...just without color.
"What the bloody hell - "
He looked down at the gun - the blueish tint to the inscribed runes were still visible, the barrel glowing brightly, but the rest of the gun was a dull whiteish grey - as was the rest of his body. Gale reached a hand up, yanking his hair around to look at it, but all he could see was grey.
<< I told you - it's that thing - she's inadvertently messing with everything. Her FEAR is making everything wrong. >>
There was a great shuddering sound, a horrible scream from the beast, and Gale looked up just in time to see it rampaging towards them - or rather, towards Caelius.
"RUN!"
Shoving Tika and Before to the side, away from the oncoming thing, Gale dived, Jinhai roaring in his mind.
An enormous scaled tail swung out, catching him around the middle. He found himself airborne, stopping only when he slammed into a nearby outcropping of rock, his head cracking against the hard stone.
Pain exploded in his skull, Gale slumping down to the ground, his vision going in and out.
...that hurt.

Nefertari was already in bad shape. Her reaction time was the most suffered. She smiled and gave Aksaja the thumbs up when he caught the pill but sadly wasn't able to get out of Reds way. She made the most interesting yowl has she was ran over.
Man she hoped her wings weren't broken. They took forever to heal and she couldn't enjoy flying.

Red's rampage was on a whole new level. Mot took tentative steps backward as the beast got on all fours and stormed right past. He thought he'd been lucky, until Red's tail slapped him from behind, knocking the cowboil off his feet, tumbling over the terrain.
His tumble was abruptly halted by a protruding stone that hit his head, stunning the reaper. Mot yelped, then groaned as a wave of dizziness took over him. The reaper tried to get himself back to his feet, but his limbs were shaky and his lightheaded stupor messed with his balance. He crumpled back down to the ground, trying to wait it out.
The world seemed to turn gray. In his dizzy state, he assumed it was from the knock to the head.

Amrita could only gape. Shehk was...Shehk was being impossible! That creature was probably not their Professor anymore! In fact, it was HURTING EVERYONE, not to mention the terrible insanity that seemed to be gnawing; it was a wonder she wasn't breaking down on her own. Perhaps she did that enough already, or perhaps her insanity manifested in different ways.
Like, say, a backhanded slap to a certain Pricolici's face.
"I can't believe you're just going to sit there let her live like that!" Amrita hissed out, her form flickering as the fear and insanity continued to warp them all. "Are you even seeing her, Shehk? At this rate she'll kill all----AAAAUGH!" Amrita's pointing hand was unfortunately in the crossfire, and sadly was bitten on the monster's way past. It also caused her to stop ranting at Shehk, and instead hold her new bite wound in a moment of shock.
Well, at least she still had her arm.

"We can't help her Shehk... she's gone." Even though 'Red' stood before them, it wasn't the Werewolf they knew, the teacher most of them respected and hoped to be like to be a 'boogieman'. "We do stand for our own Shehk, and what do you think Red would tell us to do right now? Sit around crying? She would... she would tell us the truth." She bit her lip for a moment and turned looking towards the rampaging beast. "We have to do what needs to be done, no hesitation, no regret. If one of us turned into that she would stop us just as quickly if it meant saving the other students..."
Slowly she moved away from Shehk and Amrita, a small pile of stones near by would suffice as a stand, slowly the ghoul would clamber up getting a bit of height over the Hunters and Halloween residents running about. For a moment it was madness, here and there Hunters still clashed with their own, others focused on the beast that was Red.
"HUNTERS! HALLOWEEN! LISTEN!"
It hurt to yell that loud stretching her body with FEAR forcing her voice to project, Shehk was right, Riley wasn't here, the lack of a mental loud speaker was a bit of a pain but she would make do if it meant straining a few dead vocal cords.
"We don't have time to fight one another, whatever that IS," she pointed towards Red. "It was once YOU'RE TEACHER." She turned about glancing at both parties hopping they would listen, "If Red EVER taught you hunters like she did US, we know we have to do what must be done! She would stop anyone of us if it meant saving the rest!" She gestured towards the legs before shouting something that almost made her gag.
"WE HAVE TO WORK TOGETHER OR SHE'LL KILL US ALL!!"
She took a deep breath, "HUNTERS GO FOR HER RIGHT LEG, HALLOWEEN TO THE LEFT. BRING HER DOWN SO WE CAN FIGHT HER AT OUR LEVEL." She looked back towards Caelius it was a better plan then his idea of trying to retreat it seemed. Maybe if that twisted mortal had half a brain it would agree with what she shouted.
"WE BRING HER DOWN HERE; OR WE ALL DIE IN FLAMES. NOW GET TO WORK."
Her speech was done, she had little left to offer, and little time to offer it. The world started to turn grey, it was weird, only Red's eyes seemed to hold color still, even then the beast charged. She stood her ground as the rampaging Red blitzed by, chasing after the hunter once more.
"YOU HEARD HIM," she pointed towards Caelius as he finished blinking around, "WE FIGHT TOGETHER OR WE NEVER MAKE IT OUT ALIVE IN ANY SHAPE OR F-" Suddenly Red was ontop of her jaws snapping sending her flying to the side a gash in her arm. Slowly she stumbled up again hissing softl, it hurt like hell, but it could be worse. Reaching into her pocket she grabbed her pumpkin pill biting down to heal her flesh and keep her somewhat together.HP: Bit but healed with Pumpkin pill 40 hp not stunned

Nodding at the Legs of Tess, ... Levi acknowledged them taking their leave, still somewhat puzzled.
She'd meant to stand her ground, but when the enormous once-professor didn't even seem to acknowledge the calls from her peers. The pleas of the students and the attacks from the hunters yielded but a flickering glow from the creature's forehead.
She was on the move.
The giant rampaged towards the figure of the man. Clearly, she wanted him.
In the movement of the beast, Levi's eyes widened, darting sharply out of the way as to not be trampled or flung at in the process.
The scene.... was drained of color. All Levi could note was the glow of Red's eyes. She had no idea how this occurred ... but it was a sign. Some omen of terrible things to come.
(( HP: 30 - 3 = 27/30
Levi has avoided Red's charge))

The only way this thing was going to go away was if they killed it... Madison took a deep, shaky breath. The fact that one of the freaks was trying some kind of bullshit rallying call didn't even really register. She just had to try and drop that giant ******** monster, with legs like tree trunks, with... her tiny swords.
We are not tiny! We are quite respectable! Kouki protested.
"Show it, then," Madison said shakily, then launched herself at the monster's legs. Unfortunately, the swords caught against a claw and skidded harmlessly away, sending the Hunter to her knees with the displaced momentum. "WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?!"
We cannot do everything!! Kouki hissed back, clearly just as agitated as she was.

"WHY AM I THE ONLY ONE WILLING TO TRY AN ALTERNATIVE HERE?"
SMACK
Shehk stumbled back a bit, her hand raising to touch where the Vetala's hand had made contact with her flesh. For a moment she seemed shocked over what had just happened, before she pulled her hand away, a purely wrathful look coming over her face. She distorted in and out of existence as the FEAR entity's massive range of distortion began to pull on her. It was like Caelius said - it was as though she was being devoured by the once werewolf. Perhaps in a way, Red herself was like a horribly distorted version of a Pricolici.
"THAT is what I want to save her from! I don't want her to have to live that way! She shouldn't have to die for us! She shouldn't have to die because we're all too weak! That's not fair!" She was turning into a broken record, and Shehk turned from the Vetala to continue her walk towards the beast that loomed over all of them. "Don't talk to me anymore." she hissed over her shoulder.
However, Shehk took about three steps before the beast went rampaging past her, Shehk standing frozen as she did, head turning to follow the shape. For a moment, it looked like it was safe for her to move again, but when she turned to move again, Red's tail came swinging out of nowhere, slamming into the Pricolici's body and sending her flying, smashing into the rocky surface of the scenery. It really wasn't a good day for her head and rocks. She slowly slid down, blood trailing after her head as she dropped to her knees, and then down onto her front.
A part of her was still conscious, listening to the madness that went on around her as the bleeding headwound drenched the sides of her head and began to pool beneath her face, black as it spread away from her. She could hear Sammy cry out to rally against Red.
Why am I always the only person trying to save everybody else?
Why am I the only one who cares?
What if Red is still in there? What if we can pull her out?
How come the only answer has to be to destroy her?
What can I do?
How do I do it?
If they are all so willing to destroy on a whim - the first thought.......who do I trust..?
Can I trust any of them with my own life anymore.....? the thoughts spilled through her head as she laid there, but one prominently spilled through the back of her head. Hate. Hate.
In that moment, the pricolici hated them all. Tears came back, mingling with the black blood that pooled beneath her face. She would stand for them....but when she needed them to stand with her, they betrayed her. It was painful. Lonely, even.
Shehk was alone.

((Reaction post))
Hel…admittedly had been hesitant to attack before. Red was one of them, and warriors did not attack those who were on their side…even if some of the attacks were affecting them all. In light of recent events though, that changed, especially when she had been bitten by the colossus. The reaper let out a snarl as she staggered, feeling rather alarmed as she felt her Fear shield disappear.
Oh Jack…this wasn’t good, not one bit…but she was a mighty and proud valkyrie…and now she needed to try and fight, because they were all at stake. Though what was once their professor and a comrade, was now their enemy, and their target.
Target: - -
Damage: - -
HP: 2 - 2 = 0/30
FEAR: The Mind – Y1 - Hel is able to select an opponent and he/she/it will feel like they are experiencing fatigue. It would negatively alter their battle performance for a short time.

Complete chaos, that was what Sheridan had stepped through the door to find. There had barely been a moment to take in where he was, to wonder at who or what the unknown faces were (hunters? where had they come from?) No moment to wonder on the fate of his teammates or wonder just what was going on--HOLY ******** JACK!
He had tried to run, to dive out of the monster's path. But it had all happened too fast, his reaction had come too late, and he found himself slammed into the rocky ground by the force of the monster's charge.
A grimace, a flash of stars, Sheridan shook his head to clear it, painfully pulling himself to his feet. His eyes widened, what in Jack's name had just happened? What was--who--his mind reeled, searching for the answers, trying to put together the pieces from the shouted words of those around him.
Wait, Red, that thing was RED?! But, wasn't Professor Red a werewolf? WHAT THE JACK KIND OF PLACE WAS THIS?!

((5-6: You managed to avoid the attack, however you're still too close for comfort. Red's tail lashes you! You have been knocked down and manage to crack your head against a stone. It hurts, and you are now stunned. You cannot attack this turn.))
Red was rampaging, and for a while Vieve was glad she'd managed to avoid the last attack, until the huge creature started moving, running towards the figure she vaguely recognised as the boss plumber.
The salamander found herself frozen, unable to move away even as Red charged towards her. The monster's swishing tail hit her, sending her flying. The world seemed to turn grey, as she flew through the air, save for the monster's blue markings that left trails of light behind them.
Like glowsticks at night.
She crashed hard, hitting her head on a rock. The pain was overwhelming- like a knife stabbing her in the head repeatedly. Even when she could sit up, the world spun around her, and she only managed to register that she seemed to have landed on.. something.
What that was, she had no idea.
