Madison had stayed by containment, her gaze narrowed as she watched - she had no problem with 'allowing' the tagged freaks to return home, that was for certain. They only thought they were being saved, really...

... but the weight of additional cloth across one arm reminded her that she had one more nicey-nice ploy to make. And the unfamiliar Moon hunter in there was giving her a perfect excuse, even if his words were strange. Surely he, too, was just playing a game. Madison hurriedly rounded the corner into the main containment area, Kouki summoned and resting at her waist, the blades waiting in their scabbards. "Hey," she called out, glancing at the unfamiliar Moon Trainee as she spoke to the room at large. "Which one of you... students... is called Amrita? I've got something for them."

Israfel's coat hung over one of her arms, clearly visible to anyone.

Wash winced. "Amphi..." He could tell how much it hurt her, just to come over to stand by his side. He looked up when the orange haired- well- demon, he gulped, addressed him, but shook his head adamantly.

"No ma'am. I tol' em, I told them no. There was some things you just don't do. Especially not to..." His gaze flickered to the young woman by his side, and he had to blink rapidly, eyes suddenly wide and overbright. "Not to kids. People. You all...you aren't the reason we're here, we can't hold you responsible for what others may ha' done to us, in the past." He offered Amphi his arm again, like he had once before, unable to watch her stand here weakened any longer.

"I wouldn't trust me either. Let me go first- they won't be expectin' that. Plus, you can stop me before I do anythin' funny." There was a plea in his eyes and posture, but there was also something else.

Determination.

He prayed again, silently and to himself. Verses he once was only passingly aquatinted with came to his mind with sudden clarity and understanding.

Surely no one lays a hand on a broken man
when he cries for help in his distress.
Have I not wept for those in trouble?
Has not my soul grieved for the poor?
Yet when I hoped for good, evil came;
when I looked for light, then came darkness.


At the sound of another hunter in the room, he made his choice. He pushed Amphi behind him, standing in front of her and blocking her from the other woman with his body.

Mitsu's attempt to jar her got nothing more than a soft groan. She was conscious, but barely. Her limbs were heavy, her mind was fuzzy, and the lack of fear, coupled with all her talking and gesturing, had finally gotten to her. But as the door opened and the students rushed in, it seemed to be the rush of fresh air (so to speak) that she needed. She came to again, though her mind was still fuzzy and her vision certainly wasn't the greatest - whoa, when did Christof get another head?

Wait.

Wait!

Christof?!

She stared at him, her gaze unfocused and disbelieving, and slowly turned her attention around the room; some had left, others were there; but the fact remained that the room was full. Friends, loved ones...they were all here. They showed up...they really showed up...

Once Christof's hand found hers she gripped it as tightly as her weak muscles would allow, leaning over to rest her head on his arm. Relief washed through her, and with it a low, shuddering breath; there would be a time later for her to worry about whatever device they inserted into her core...for now, someone had saved her.

The relief was short lived though, as a familiar voice cut through the air, asking for her. She froze, whatever weak grip she had on Christof tightening. What should she do?! There was a room full of students, right? Would it be safe for her to answer? Besides, this voice...she knew it from more than just a first attack in a haunted house. That was the voice that Israfel chose once.

When she looked over her shoulder she saw his coat draped on her arm, and the hurt came back, fresh and intense. There had to be a reason for this, right? She was outnumbered...she couldn't be here to gloat or twist the knife...right?

"I...I am. Wh...What do you want?" She grumbled, still holding onto Christof as she attempted to struggle to her feet.

Madison gave Wash a confused look. "Dude, I don't... I don't care what you do, I'm not going to hurt them, I swear. Chill, it's fine," she said, not unkindly - and oh. Of course... of course Amrita was that undead b***h who'd thrown bits of her face at Ennea. Of course. But she had a role to play and she was damn well going to see it through.

"These are for you. From Israfel," she said, quietly. "To take back with you - for what it's worth, I'm sorry." She held out the coat and the phone towards her, though she was obviously seriously disoriented. "The phone's for, uh. Lucy? Someone close to him, I think."

She glanced over at the Moon Trainee again. "Where are you headed? Gonna see 'em out?"

Torture? It was not really torture was it...though perhaps it had been mentally. And the sheer pain of being tagged, that had to count for something. He had nothing to say about Miss Amphitrite's decision, perhaps if it had been Miss Sasha he might have done the same thing. Maybe not all hunters were bad, though by far the majority seemed to be.

Perhaps the most telling part of all was the way he just seemed to...give in. There was no real argument against them that he would ride the wolfos, he had put up a token protest but that was it. He could not muster the energy necessary to walk on his own, or to argue with them. "I will, but we need to leave.. We need to get you all out of here." He was in no hurry to leave, really, what more could they do to him. Weaponize him? He basically already was.

Taking hold of Tybalt's hand when offered to her, Mei allowed him to help her to her feet. Staggering about, she made sure to hold onto the boil's shoulder, as to not fall flat on her face when attempting to move. "I don't know what it is.." She answered. "We'll have to explain more later.."

Wash, though a hunter, was more honorable she thought. She had only seen him briefly when he and other hunters came in to interrogate them. But he didn't appear to enjoy any of this. The fact that he was sticking his neck out for them proved that.

When Madison arrived, Mei froze. That was.."She's the hunter that Israfel went with--the one he requested before he.." she quietly whispered to Tybalt, eying the coat she carried as she handed it over to Amrita.

Another hunter was here now. Shun watched her warily, before looking between the two. Seeing the one stand between Amphi and the female hunter was interesting, but it could still be an act as far as he was concerned. While the fragments had eased his injuries, he didn't think he could stand another extended battle right now. The female offered a few things to Amrita, but her last words seemed to raise some flags. s**t. was anyone watching the entrance to this building?

"Someone go check the perimeter. This won't do us any good if we end up getting ambushed outside."

s**t. s**t. s**t. What if the hunter with the moon was stalling them for that purpose?

The wolfos looked at Yin. "Then mount." He crouched down to make it easier. "You'll need to lay down to avoid things but once outside it will be more comfortable."

"Yeah," he responded, uncertain. What was going on? Was he inadvertently leading them into another trap?

Still...he had seen the fighting outside. If it was a trap, they were making it look really believable. Hunters were laying their lives down out there, to keep them contained. That he could be a pawn in some overarching scheme made Wash sick, but he had to ignore it. Had to work with what he knew. Had to trust that the students could sort themselves out once they got back home.

He still tried his best to keep Amphi from her, but it seemed the woman and the corpse-girl knew each other, and besides, the hulking and monstrous boy by her side could more than handle the situation, surely. He stepped to one side cautiously.

A escort? Poke snorted, not liking the idea of being lead around. She was more then able to fight and to pull her own weight. But still, this wasn't the time to be making a fuss over this. She had be throughly trounced by Shun, and he looked in very bad shape; a sure sign that the hunters were much stronger then she was at the moment.

Not to mention she already had fought a hunter one on one and had...gotten trounced. Fun times.

" Okay, sure, I'll follow, lets just get moving!" She growled, then turned to the hunter who was still speaking. He was sure insistent on helping them, and he even jumped in front of a undead ghoul when another one showed up. She had turned at this point, trying to put herself in front of Mitsu in shun, but it didn't look like she wanted to fight either.

It was hard to tell weather they were telling the truth, and she did not want to be caught up in a trap if they weren't. But it honesty didn't matter cause they were wasting time and she wanted to get moving and WHY WERE THEY STILL STANDING HERE?!

Whipping her tail in a agitated fashion, she eyed the two. "Look I have no idea what they are doing but we could at least talk and move at the time?"

Christof snarled when the huntress called out for Amrita, gathering himself up defensively as he hovered by her side. They were running out of time. They needed to get out of there. He didn't recognize the coat, nor understand what they represented. For all he knew it was a trick. With a snarl, his clawed hand lashed out at the Huntress as he lurched to his feet to try to help Amrita up. If she couldn't stand, he'd have to carry her, at least until they found Calder again.

Danny blinked, actually caught off guard by King's response. "No I ... King I can't fly," she admitted, giving the ground a rather ashamed look as her wings tucked in awkwardly. This wasn't really something she wanted to admit to the whole world. It was awkward.

Besides, the idea of riding a water dragon? No thanks.

She did pull Yin closer to King though, helping him cross the distance so he could get on. She'd help him the whole way up if need be.

Her eyes narrowed at the second hunter in the room and she gave a low hiss. "I don't like this. Why can't you just leave us alone already? We don't need your help." Help, used tentatively. A hunter's "help" usually meant a backstabbing. Danny would never agree to Wash's "help." It was just a core of her beliefs and it screamed "no," right now.

Danny was being rather selfish though. She couldn't speak for the whole group, she was just speaking for herself.

As Madison spoke, Amrita stayed very close to Christof; she had just been rescued, she wasn't about to fall into a trap again! But when it became clear what the Hunter wanted, she looked conflicted. The Igor's swipe had her respond with a quick hiss, unable to form the words she wanted in time. The items that the Hunter had...she wanted them.

It took Amrita a little bit to actually grasp the items, and it wasn't for lack of trying. In her disorientation her depth perception was lacking at best; couple that with a general weakness and it really did take a slow pawing at the air before twisted fingers closed around fabric and phone. As the instructions were given, Amrita felt a very familiar twist of pain in her chest.

It meant that if they did get off this island, she would have to break the news of a death to yet another friend.

"...Thank you." Amrita breathed out softly, her voice closer to a sad whimper. It felt strange to thank a Hunter, but at the same time...what else could she say? If Israfel really did want her to have these, and she was handing them over, that was...pretty decent, for a Hunter. It could have been some twisted jab, but...Israfel did enter the chamber without his Jacket. She hugged the fabric to her chest, trembling under the weight of her emotions and the lack of fear in the area.

[ ENTER ]

There was a distant soft scrabbling sound somewhere down the long hall that lead up to the containment room. Nuru's claws casually scraped against the floors as he slowly followed the trails. He had to be sure he wasn't missing a single molecule of any of it in case it turned down a hidden pass on him.

It never had.

He trudged on, straight through the halls and into the group within. He was a boil on a mission and hadn't registered the presence of others yet- not until his entire face slammed into someones shin.

He immediately backed up to blink blearily at the owner of the shin. Hm, Looks like Zar. Another blink. Really really looks like Zar. A final blink. It IS Zar! and then the barghest reared up, slammed his paws on the demons shoulders and proceeded to slather the demons face in copious amounts of barghest drool.

Madison sidestepped quickly as the patched freak took a swipe at her, her gaze narrowing, but this Amrita was responding as well as she could have wished. "Calm down - I'm handing this off, and then I'm... probably outta here, unless he needs help." She jerked her chin in the Moon trainee's direction before turning back to the girl. Ghoul. Whatever.

At the zombie freak's thanks, she nodded, giving her a wry smile. "You're welcome." Her gaze flicked to Wash again. What was his play, anyway? He looked protective, or at least he was trying to keep between her and one of the other freaks. Maybe he'd made nicey-nice with her for later? That seemed likely. "Get it back to... whoever it goes to, okay? And I'll do what I can to make sure you get there." She raised her voice on that last part.

Get their moles back to Halloween? Sure. She could do that. She could do the hell out of that, provided the other Hunters on the way were sufficiently prepped...
