Following after Bul, the doll quickly scanned the tent for a familiar face only to come up empty handed..Whisper wasn't here.."Where could she be..?" The words were barely a whisper as she stared off into the cages that had held the captured students. Jack--if something happened to her--
It wasn't just her..half of the students were missing! Just where were they all?
Mei has entered the tent

He could hear someone talking to him - someone very familiar, someone that he had wanted to see for quite a long time. Ren's head was spinning, and he could taste blood on his lip where he had bitten it too hard in his anger, one of his sharp canines piercing into it.
The world was spinning around him unpleasantly. The strength he'd exerted in attacking the generator seemed to have sapped him of everything else for the time, and now he was just trying to breathe normally and regain some of that strength.
He tilted sideways, sliding down until he was on his back. Something wet touched his face - something too wet.
...a wolf.
There was a clicking sound, a whoosh, and the doors of the cages swung open around the room. Voices began to fill the tent, both familiar and unfamiliar, and a low hissing sound met Ren's ears.
Something warm and scaley surrounded him - a large head rested on top of his own. Ren's fingers fluttered, then reached up, absently touching whatever it was.
"...Gabrian," he mumbled.
His hand traveled down the length of the serpent's neck, then sideways to rest on top of the creature beside him, fingers clenching in the fur of the wolf's neck.
"...LW..?"
He was almost certain it was her, but his hazy mind was not working properly.
"...change back."
The words were quiet, hardly audible, but they became desperate the second time, Ren shooting upwards and staring at the red wolf seated next to him. He curled up within the grasp of Gabrian's serpantine form, wings flapping.
"CHANGE BACK!"

Tybalt re-entered from the gauntlet!
Tybalt entered, looking back over his shoulder at the sky, before the tent flap blocked his view once more. Whatever that was, it was getting worse...
"Guys... That grey stuff outside is spreading, in fact its almost on top of us..." He spoke loud enough so that the others could hear him but stopped when he saw all the commotion going on inside the tent.
"What's going on in here now?"

While everyone was cuddling, hugging, and squeezing, Calder looked for a nice patch of dirt and then sat down. Standing was exhausting and he wanted to rest before they moved out, which they were sure to do. He idly looked about, not really having the chance to see anything from inside his cage, and noticed all the gadgets and gizmos around him, some broken, some off, and some looking really complex but pretty with it's blinkie lights. "I wonder if we should burn those cages." He said to himself, not liking the idea of them being reused later. As he mused over that thought, he also noticed the clock.
Turning, he looked up at it, and then slowly got back up to walk up to the screen. It was a rather boring channel. Barth's tv always had more interesting things on it. It was also going down. "What does this do?" He asked, turning around to address everyone around him as he pointed to the screen.

The poor ghost boil looked ragged when he moved up to stand beside Bul, one bloodied hand coming to rest on the taller boil's shoulder. Eyes too wide, posture too rigid. It was obvious he was in pain, but that was really the least of his worries. He was happy the half beast was alright though, and Mei, they were two names he could strike off the list of those he had to worry over. But the others, he still didn't know where they were.
Their problems didn't seem to be limited to just their missing friends though, he heard Tybalt addressing the whole of them, and he turned his eyes to look out the flap of the tint, shoulders tensing at the wash of gray that was covering everything. There was also the clock. "Bul," he urged, tugging at the other boil's shoulder. "The timer, on the screen." He pointed with black fingers. "It's counting down." His immediate thoughts had gone directly to a bomb or other such impending doom, but he honestly wasn't sure. He had a pretty good idea that it wasn't going to be good when that thing reached zero.
Honestly he didn't know what to do. It was a sickening, helpless sort of feeling and it was making the ghost boil seem diminished. Above everything he was worried, and there was a desperate sort of undertone to his voice that gave it almost a whining edge. "And I can't find Junko." If anyone understood the connotations of that statement, it was Bul.

"No its...counting down." Mitsu reaching out to poke the LCD screen. "Everything is so torn up though." She noted looking at the equipment around them. Mitsu was amazed it was even still working though the fact that counting down could possibly mean something bad hadn't hit her.
"What do you think it does?" Her eyes were too focused on the item at the moment to have a look around or even notice the other lycan in their presence.

Bul noticed Shun inspecting Mitsu's wound and gave him a sort of uh
Secret man understanding look of men.
As Mei entered the half beast gave her a toothy smile. "Looks like everything is kinda under control here. But I can't help wondering.. why they left it. The last time they were so abhorrent about protecting it... I mean even when they fought too."
Turning his head at Tybalt he blinked. "Grey stuff? OH RIGHT-" Bul paused. It wasn't terribly alarming until he realized that they really had been engulfed in grey matter prior to entering the tent... yet in here it didn't seem that it was effecting anything?
Seiji's entrance though was enough to warrant a reaction from the half ebast as he did what he could to help the ghost boil stand. "Dude you do NOT look good..." Letting Seiji speak he glanced at the mysterious screen but before he could make anything of it heard the word on Junko. "s**t... s**t dude are you serious?"

The story thus far..
Inside:
Students had been caught by hunters in various and mostly underhanded ways. After a near loss of the kelpie, Calder, to weapon transformation, and then a strange rewinding of time, the captives soon found themselves alone to suffer the happy but painful hope of rescue together. And rescuers did come, after many searches for the cage's key cards, the rescuers took matters into their own hands, and sacrificing their own health, destroyed the hunters' generator. A bright blue light filled the room, leaving students feeling refreshed and energetic. As students reunite inside, a discreetly placed LCD screen lights up and begins counting down.
Is this the calm before the storm?
Outside:
Hunter trainees and students were taken to a room where time was held at a standstill. When they were released, they found themselves confronted with a very familiar scene: the hunter back yard encampment and a recently captured Soul Harvester. This was not a simple case of deja vu, but rather a do-over created through a deal between the Harvester and the mysterious Clockwork. The senior hunters appear to have no idea that time was manipulated in such a manner.
A battle began to take place, and the students, having run through this particular warzone before, now had a much easier time of it. But before things could really heat up...the Hunter Trainees got an new command, via text, and were transported out of the area for what was revealed to be an ambush on the other students who were taken through through the door of Space.
The benefits of going back and changing the past can be high, as are the risks. In this version of events, it was not Caelius to meet the Soul Harvester on the field as she was freed, but Dr. H and his assistant. Rather than meet her head on, power for power, the doctor took advantage of a moment of weakness to behead her, in the hopes that their portable containment unit could hold the Harvest long enough to fully contain her. But their are certain creatures in any world that should not be bound, and instead of holding her, it fully destroyed her instead.
Alone on the field against a mob of nightmare creatures, Dr. H and Clarice summoned the help of Moon Squad 12 to hold off the assault until Caelius returned with the trainees. Separately, the squad members are nothing too difficult, but their defensive coordination has created a difficult wall for those trying to fight their way into the tent. Others have sought to use stealth to sneak in the back way, but only a handful have made it through without attracting the doctor or his assistant's rather painful attentions.
A bright light burst from the tent and filled the field, giving students a renewed and energetic feeling. As students breathe a sigh of relief and wonder what exactly just happened, a creeping invasion of grey begins recolouring the field.
Is it really safe out here?It begins below them, with the ground trembling ever so slightly. In the distance the windows of the house fill with vibrant blue light. For a moment the house seems to twist in on itself and the ground began to shake with a terrible violence. The house twists further and then, from two of it's doors, twin rainbows burst forth, slamming into the field. They cleanse the field of all the hunters' equipment and debris and know many a student off their feet. When finally the rainbow flood ceases, you look around the field and see your companions have been highly effected by the rainbow. They are sparkling. The smell rather nice. They are all wearing the same dress. And looking down...you see that you are too. There is a collective moment of "Wait....what?" But it doesn't last, as a new figure takes the field. Is it a boo? A really giant...highly obnoxious looking boo? If so then this shouldn't be too hard, right? 
"DO YOU LIKE...MAGIC???"It raises it's wand high and a burning wave of glittering sparkles hits the students on the field for 2 damage. BOSS HP: 50/50GAUNTLET: BOSS RUSH Everyone on the gauntlet field was hit for 2 Rainbow Damage! Everyone in the tent was only hit for 1 Rainbow Damage due to Tently Gaurd! Everyone was hit for 2 Wizardly Damage! RULES:
- if you are just entering the gauntlet at this time, you have witness this scene and were hit by these attacks.
- tent peeps...you no longer have a tent, back to the Field for you!
- Please note, if your student is just now entering the field, they were in time to witness this scene.
- You MAY use Pumpkin Pills for this gauntlet run.
- If your HP hits 0, you will dissipate regardless of the situation and will respawn in the Dimension of Couch.
- You can post more than the requirements, but please keep them minimized as to not overwhelm the GMs.
- Pins are still a little wonky, thanks to the FEAR energy from the Soul Harvester's Final Death: you are free to rp out your students Natural form or regular student form (but the rolls and results are still the same). Make sure to clearly mention in your third post what your character looks like (natural or sealed), or a brief idea of it so the Hunters know how to explain it while they are targeting!
- BOOS: YOU HAVE THE SAME OPTIONS AS THE STUDENTS.
[b]HP:[/b] List your HP pool and keep track of it. IF YOUR HP IS ZERO YOU ARE DISSIPATED, MAKE SURE YOU CALCULATE YOUR HP ACCORDINGLY FROM LAST ROUND.
[b]Battle Status:[/b] Attacking/Guarding/Healing
[b]BOSS HP:[/b] if attacking please keep track of this for faster GM updates
