After his initial strike, Shun sliced at the sword-hunter again, then rolled back to put a little more distance between himself and the fake hunter. As he did so, he saw another black shadow move past him to guard Xiu. Once he had returned to Mitsu's side, he let out a breath, placing a hand on her shoulder. It wasn't hard to see that she was still frightened.
"You're doing good," he whispered to her. She was certainly doing better than when they were fighting what appeared to be Red. Well, she wasn't striking anything, but she was still doing her part. He was still concerned for her but at least he didn't have to be as worried as he would if she was simply curled up on the ground and doing nothing. He had to encourage what he could, not wanting her to break. They needed to get through this together.
"Take a few deep breaths. Try to clear your mind," he encouraged, trying to get her to relax. With how tensed she looked, he wasn't sure if she was capable of moving a whole lot. That, could be a problem.
"Keep your body loose. You'll be able to move more easily if you do. And just remember.. the sooner we get through this, the sooner we can go back home," he said before shifting a little uncomfortably, "I'm sorry for getting you mixed up in all of this.."

Ami's eyes flicked to Wilson, and then back to Kat. He was right- people who disobeyed Caelius ... well she'd only heard stories, but it wasn't pretty. None of the rumors were happy ones. C'mon Kat, she thought, Get outta there.
"Yeah," Ami assured him. "We just have to lower it's defenses." She fired a shot towards it's head, but the monster moved at the last second.
The dark truth she didn't want to admit is that she didn't particularly care if they were saved or not. If there was a way to save them you could bet she'd be first in line, but if not? She'd seen a lot of death. You got used to it. At the moment she was just fighting to stay alive herself- the living were more important than the infected.
A tentative hand went to Wilson's arm. Just an acknowledgment that she was here. "It'll be okay in the end." Then again, her definition of "okay" and his were probably very different.

He knew what he was doing was foolish by hunter standards, especially with Caelius present. But--
Ryan looked towards the 'monsters' and then back to both Ofelia and Wilson. "What happens if that particular method kills them in the process though?" He asked. "Those creatures of Halloween can stand to be killed. Hell, they are able to come back from the dead as if nothing happened. But humans, last I checked, can't. What if we kill them?" They had to approach this carefully. If there were other ways, he wanted to know them. He wanted to explore every option before he made his decision and where better to start than with the one who saved one of those infected with insanity?
Tightening his fists, he turned on his heel and took off in the direction he had last seen the secretary, leaving the others behind him. When he finally found him, he skidded to a stop, leaving a large enough distance between him, the secretary, and the boogeymen standing around the secretary.
"You!" He pointed awkwardly towards Arel, unsure of how to address him. "Does that--would that potion stuff work on them?" He jabbed a finger back in the direction of 'Bix' and 'Ceres.' But his eyes never left Arel. "Tell me!"

Gene's second wind came to her, but not in the way she would have liked it. It came in the form of fire from the Insanity beast pouring down onto the battle field. She was hit by it, and suddenly she was back in high gear. Arms were shifted to a scaly, draconian form, and her eyes flashes a bright red. The whole chemistry of her Fear was teeming with nerves, adrenaline, and the need to lash out.
Then she saw things happen. Random Hunters who hadn't been there before appeared, and they began to attack. She was about to maul one of them, before Arel made himself known, revealing that these were students who had become weapons, but the Ice Demon had a cure. All they had to do was whittle away at their peers.
Gene was no stranger to harming her peers - in a friendly sparring match. She never had to actually harm someone with a grudge.
No wait, that's a lie. She wanted to kill Mac. (Still does.)
She'd just pretend this student was Mac.
Giving her best shout, she swung out at the Student turned Weapon.
Oh, and look, Frost, Yin, and Xiu were there too.
"Attack him! It's his only hope!"

Ofelia turned and looked at Ryan, her head tilting slightly to the side as if she wanted to see her own head come off. A faint cackle escaped her lips, one driven by insanity and the sudden cheer she could hear coming from her own weapon, and the teen ran pass the group and launched herself into the air.
A strong strike from her weapon saw her hitting into what was once Bix, and it was just one of her hands that delivered it. a good strong hit, nothing to be ashamed of, and as she landed properly her gaze turned back to Ryan once. "If they die?" A cackle, long and drawn out. "It jus' sucks ta be them then, fer bein' so weak an' givin' in ta the voices." She cackled once more and started back towards the group again.
Rue was talking, all the chatter. Ofelia couldn't hear her own thoughts, not over the sound of Rue's voice, and the insanity dug its fingers deeper and deeper into her brain. "Let's flay 'em down, flay 'em down~"
The figure didn't stop laughing, even as it was struck at, again and again, seeming not to notice. Of course it swung it's blade, but the movements were always just a moment too late, just a split second too slow to hit those who snuck in to attack when it's attentions were elsewhere.
But then there was one, who darted in for an attack, slashing at the fog formed hunter before retreating once more, and the figure followed, moving quickly towards him and slashing with the blade.
Alexander had become silent, his usual elation dulled as he struggled to comprehend something just beyond his grasp.

To discard the thought of them being--have being human.. "No.. I can't do that. Both of them were my friends, and I refuse to think of them being monsters. They may be insanity infected, but they are still in there! I'm sure of it!"

Several of the bogeymen stiffened, others not bothering to turn around. One measly Hunter on the battlefield was not going to exactly overwhelm them, after all.
It took a little longer for Arel to realize that a Hunter was addressing him. He blinked, and then instinctively backed up into the mass of bogeymen a little more, clutching the vial tightly to his chest. The liquid inside was almost used up. "I'm sorry," He finally said, hesitating, backing up a little more just to be sure, "I don't have enough for everyone. I-"
- Ryan would feel the pain, something sharp slamming against his back before he saw who hit him exactly. The Death lead had the Moon trainee flat on the ground in a matter of seconds, even as several of the bogeymen bristled, and Arel pretty much disappeared far far away.
There was no mistaking the tone in his voice as he leaned very, very close to Ryan. "Is there a reason you are trying to bring back the dead."
Yin needed no encouragement from the others. He did look up when Miss Gene appeared, nodding to her as he moved in to attack. "Yes, put it out of its misery. And if it is not a student then we remove a hunter." There was really no downside to this in his mind.
He rushed in quickly, fingers reaching out, clawed finding the bits past the fog of insanity and raking through it, a spark of something primal in his eyes as he dealt damage to the abomination.

Ah--Shun and Mitsu were here as well. The baku smiled a little wryly at the former's words, giving a light shrug. "Yeah, I'm not so sure what I was waiting for either."
Following after Yin--and absolutely bristling when the hunter landed a hit on her "big brother"--Xiu swung her fist out at it, a move which was followed shortly after with a sharp kick. With this many students fighting, they would be sure to save the student-weapon, right?
"Nice to see you're safe," The baku smiled when she noticed that Gene had joined the group, giving the ghoul a small nod in greeting.

When Lex had signed up for Deus Ex, he hadn't a clue what he was getting in to. He had no clue he'd be gunning down Horsemen, Demons, and Insanity beasts all in a massive battle royale. No clue he'd be exposed to a massive amount of fire that made him feel really odd.. Not a clue that he'd see his comrades become the beasts he'd signed up to fight themselves. ' And he certainly had no clue the Division Leader of his rival division was a ruthless, if not tactical, man. They'd been ordered to gun them down, as they were a threat. They had become the enemy.
They had to be dealt with.
He shot one round, hitting the former Sun Hunter in the back. He steeled his eyes, and fired another round of cackling gold energy at the abomination.
"They're not alive anymore Kat. Think of them as Zombies; like in the movies. It hurts to kill them, but they have to go down." He shot once more, feeling Regal burning to release energy. He was ready.
"Do it, or we end up like Ryan over there."

The order was all Rep needed to know exactly what to do. He was enjoying himself, a fight where anyone he hit was fair game, a fight they seemed to be winning, somehow. He hadn't slipped off into that place where there was nothing between himself and Tracey, he could feel the fallen angel still nestled in his thoughts. He was alive, he was healthy and he was armed.
Closing his eyes for just a moment he took a slow deep breath and hefted Tracey in his arms.

He was only to happy to oblige. And Bix was a big target. No hard feelings. Orders. Were orders.
He leapt into the air, arcing the massive axe over his head and bringing it down in an almighty cleave with his full weight behind it.
"Time to put this one down." he snarled with a mad and delighted grin.

Wilson paused. “It wouldn’t be the first time a hunter died,” he mumbled, his head angled away from Ryan. But he could see Ryan’s side. It was important to explore both sides of the situation. And yet…His attention turned toward both ‘Bix’ and ‘Ceres.’ Would the two kill them first before they had the time to properly investigate?
“Okay?” He repeated more to himself than to Ami. “Yeah, it’ll be okay. Everything’s fine.” Why did that phrase sound so familiar?
He turned toward Ofie. “What are you…? RYAN!” Frantic, the older hunter tried to follow after Ryan as he darted through the battlefield and toward the frost demon. “Ryan, wait! Think this…”
“Ryan!” Wilson didn’t even have time to consider the consequences as he ran toward Caelius. “Caelius! Sir. I…Maybe Ryan is onto something. We haven’t even tried helping them. Maybe there's a cure.” He stopped, his muscles stiffening as he eyed the leader with an apprehensive look.
Aaaaah he was in for it now.

Shun soon felt the bite of the hunter's blade, letting out a hiss. That was his fault there for lowering his guard. He should have been paying more attention. Gritting his teeth, he looked down at himself. There was a little blood, but it wasn't anything too serious. Narrowing his eye, he quickly retaliated. He lashed out a few times, slashing here and there before aiming to try and cut open the hunter's throat.
If he even had a real one.
"I agree with the mantis," he said darkly.
