Welcome to Gaia! ::

As the goliath that was Red crash-landed, Moure felt the ground rumble through his running shoes, the wind buffeting the entire area from her forced fall. Moure was glad he hadn't struck out against her as he realized she was speaking as herself again, as a professor looking out for the welfare of their students. At least that's what it sounded like from where Moure was standing.

As the head Hunter went to attack again, something happened to his weapon. As it reverted back into it's true form, a figure of a woman. Moure instantly thought back to the machine Edel had spoke of, about how the Hunters took creatures of Halloween, creatures like him and that pale ghostly figure, and would gladly force them into a weapon with which they'd slay the weapon's true kind. How could they? Had they no hearts at all?

A shcokwave was released and Moure quickly scrambled from it's way, hoping not to be hit. He was barely caught by the tail end of the wave, but it was enough to send a ripple of energy through him and lock up his patched-together body. Moure cringed as he fell into a rocky wall, leaning against it as he stiffened from the shockwave's energy. Ergh, so much for following Red's orders.

Somewhere in the back of Moure's mind, the patchwork wondered if Red could, in her current form, use a Pumpkin Pill, and if it would help her regain her senses or other form, something. If one would help save their dying professor, the professor they could hear underneath the rest of her antics, Moure would give up the pill inside his back pack. If he wasn't paralyzed by the shockwave, he would've shouted out and asked her, but in his condition, all he could do was watch the battle unfold.

((Moure's HP: 28/30

Moure is paralyzed!))

Hunter weapons flickered around, their weilders striking at Red, she ignored them wincing each time she saw another join in the fray, time was running out but Caelius was still here still stuck just like them. Amrita had already lashed out a quick kick at the hunter and she would follow. Leaping off a rock her fist raised high she came down in a series of punches, jabbing and hooking at the unarmed hunter with a wild frenzy.

"You'll pay for this hunter! For every student, for Red!"

"I could've done better," Gale growled darkly as Davey limped towards him, looking rather battered. "This damn thing is just..."

He wanted to scream, especially now that the weapon of their fearless leader had disappeared. What had happened to the enormous, electric scythe? Had Caelius simply pushed it too far?

It was not a pleasant thought.

Gale's eyes cut first from the older hunter, over towards the massive creature.

"Aria," he said. "It's Aria. She's a double agent, working for the creatures while pretending she's one of us. Apparently her name is Red, and she's a professor of sorts at that Halloween school. The FEAR's consumed her, or at least, that's what I gather - FEAR and insanity."

His gaze moved again to the black and white haired hunter.

"And Caelius lost his weapon."

Davey did a double-take at the giant wolf. Aria? That was Aria? A double-agent - one of the monsters they were fighting. Davey couldn't reconcile the woman who'd taught them to use their weapons, told them all about FEAR, with the monster trampling them.

"Bloody hell," he faintly agreed. A dozen questions ran through his mind - how had the Hunters not noticed a werewolf in their midsts? why had Aria taught them anything about FEAR and their weapons if she was the enemy? how much information had she taken back to the other monsters already? - but they were all going to have to wait til this was over to be addressed. Answers wouldn't mean anything if they ended up dead under her bloody paws.

A traitor. Davey's eyes narrowed. That made this personal.

"They're all insane, aren't they?" he asked Gale. The creatures they'd held in the tent had certainly all seemed crazy, some to larger degrees than others. They were monsters, after all - they were all just a shade away from madness.

Caelius' scythe... that was a real loss. The man had been almost invincible while wielding it. "Do you think we need to worry about our weapons doing the same? Could it be something the monsters did?" Perhaps Aria - Red - had actually been investigating how to cripple the Hunters by removing their one weapon against the supernatural.

There was a p***k in his mind to indicate that Azrael was paying close attention. The sword had no answers, but clearly was just as interested as Davey in knowing if he was about to disappear.


HP: 40 (( unless there's damage from tail-whipping??))

(Shockwave damage from Round four - PARALYZED)

Night just regained his senses from the Professor Reds flight before she was grounded again, sending a shockwave through the area and he felt the damage, so strong lurching his body forward. His body wouldn't move as he laid on the ground. He was paralyzed again.

"Red" he whispered as he heard her voice.

(Night's HP: 19 - 6 = 13
Items: Pumpkin Pill
Damage: 0
Target: 0)

Moving and thrashing about as she was it was very much difficult for him to land a hit as was evidenced by the fact that he missed when he moved in to attack at her torso.

Target: RED'S TORSO.
HP: 31
Damage: 0
Attack/Charge: 0/3 - Swift Strike

Going home sounded wonderful. Not only would she find answers at home but she'd also find Petro and her Sister there. Her friends would surround her everyone would be around her again and they would no longer be in danger.

Go home. Go home.

...She surveyed her surroundings as everyone split off attacking different targets with different motives or so she supposed. Her finger tips wiggled idly as she turned her body toward Caelius' shape. Her face was neutral.

Yes, for now she'd strike at him. Her body began to move toward the Lead Hunter with very little thought on her own behalf as her arm rose up and suddenly she swiped at him with it once she was in range. Red-Beast was perhaps the bigger threat but Lattice had lost the desire to attack what was once a professor at least for now.


Target: Caelius
