Welcome to Gaia! ::

(( And lose the power of teamwork? Toby's a pony, you should know that FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC. >8[ I I should go to sleep anyway, have an early appointment myself. THE FUN MUST CONTINUE PLZ. Should stuff happen, I will keep Toby roped in~ ))

If only he had armor on. Man. Note to self: if you survive, this should be a project. Make own armor. And maybe make Toby some awesome goggles that could enhance her heat vision, and give her stuff like health scanners, ectoplasmic sensors, make it come with a custom headset. And some armor for her too. And - and -

- Okay, stop inventgasming. Time for that later.

"Mkays. Tell me your team names and I shout them too," Mort agreed with a nod.

And when Toby reared up, however small it was, he lifted his good hand and posed as best he could, like a badass rider was required to. What else were badass riders required to do? Make a speech. Since there was no time for that, Mort decided to go with a shortened version he had been tinkering with.

He opened his mouth wide, twitching as the stitches at each side of his mouth tore. Necessary, but a bit painful. How else could he project his voice?

"Let us make our day by ruining theirs! Let us show them what FEAR really is! For so long as the hunters exist, we -"

And then Toby was racing along, disrupting him as she took off with enviable haste. It took him all his concentration just to stay on for the first few seconds, his hand grasping the ribbon for dear unlife.

. . . Well okay, he needed to edit his speech anyway. Wasn't quite feeling "epic". Once he was used to the falsicorn's gait, Mortimer took a deep breath and began to shout.

"Mei!"


"LW!"


"Natalia!"


"Whisper!"


He hoped to Jack they could hear him. He would be shouting their names several times. As they passed by the near-center of the battlefield, he espied the supposed leader.

And did a quick drive by bolt at him.

It was faint at first, a whisper. It seemed only the Hunters could hear it, and even then, only for a brief second.

'I am here, master.'

And that was all Caelius needed. As Shun literally moved seemingly out of nowhere to confront the Death Hunter, the attack was repelled by something solid.

Solid, and barely visible. It seemed like a tiny orb, in the shape of a glowing blue eye. Yet, as the two literally locked in place, Shun's weapon snared with the strange object, the orb began to flicker and the solidify. The eye extended into a wicked curved edge, and the Death Hunter easily slid over to grasp the half-formed handle.

In turn, Shun seemed to fade out of existence for a brief moment, his very appearance paler, duller. Almost lifeless.

"Why thank you, that was very helpful." Caelius held his weapon, Circe, at full length, its Fear charged through the grim reaper's own. The weapon hummed in response.

"Get down."

There was only that warning before he swung at arm's length. The energy shockwave tore through the ground in a furious ripple, knocking Mitsu in the air and backwards.

"Hunters, to me." Any of the trainees could understand how he felt now: as if a limb missing had been returned. As if all that time, they had been waiting for that exact moment. The weapon did not make the Hunter: it completed them. "Reinforcements? More like bait."

There was no doubt what the trophy prize catch was.

There were several things that happened and most of them were kind of washed away with the punch Jude got straight to his face from a rather angry ... naked...fishy smelling thing. He wondered briefly if someone had released the kraken all over his face. At least he took the punch well his body arched back and then he wobbled back forward with blood dribbling down from both sides of his nostrils but at least the nose wasn't broken yet, the FEAR shield held most of the damage back.

Water poured from his eyes as he felt the sting and he just stared at the creature for a long angry moment and it seemed as if he was going to respond and then he heard an order from Caelius.

Kraken just got lucky.

Things were changing. Tides were turning but they were still unfavorable waters.

"Coming back to undo your stitches later, pretty boy," Jude snarked nasally at the angry figure before he turned and ran to join up with Caelius and the others and once there he began to plot which stitch he'd start with on the large quasi-kraken that just tried to do his face in.

Tybalt snarled as Night knocked him to the side and causing the black dog to skid across the ground.

Why was he interfering? Was he defending this creature!?

His unspoken accusations were quickly corrected when the feline spoke, forcing the black dog to cease his attack on the death hunter.

"What are you talking about? He's just one--" Before he could finish his sentence, the man in question not only regained his lost weapon, but knocked back Mistu--who was not only larger in size than he was, but was also about to attack the man dead on. On top of it all, with that one attack, he had hit them all with a single shock wave.

"W-what are these creatures!?" He asked, scrambling back to his feet. At first he had just thought them to be reaper imposters---but this...?

He turned to look at LW who had just reached his side. Apparently he had been oblivious to she-wolf's pursuit until now.

"Hey LW! Err... What are you doing all the way over here?"

Tybalt is a large black dog, roughly the size of a calf.

Mandy hadn't even lowered her arm from throwing her rock at the hooded figure when someone came up behind her and kicked her with a jacking bladed boot. Gasping in shock and pain she put a hand to her wound, turning to give the Hunter a piece of her mind.

This was Mandy's mistake.

It was in that second when she took her eyes off the figure she discovered that no she was not safety out of his range and yes just because he was weaponless didn't mean he was defenceless.

OhJackItHurts

Her scream caught in her throat as he sliced across her stomach, making the wound she already bore longer. Except this one didn't bleed it smoked. It felt like the wound was corrosive and blearily she heard Xiu screams as she got even worse effects of it.

And then as if just to add to it flecks of liquid from the attack on another student landed on her, blistering. Ithurtsithurtsithurts.

She felt a sort of shock settle over her as the others moved to assist the more badly wounded students, leaving her on her own.

Blood and smoke escaped from wounds and pain hazed the world and Mandy did the only sensible thing she could think of. She ripped off her skull pin.

As her human form receded and was replaced by a much smaller and fuzzier shape Mandy only thought of the comfort this brought, she felt safer.

Even if it was probably really, really stupid thing to do.

Curled up in her a ball her natural form practically blended in with the rocky landscape around her, which was something Mandy could get with.

In her haze she failed to register the sounds of the other students arriving.

Mandy is out, come back later, please leave a message.

Night skidded on the ground after tackling the black dog, just as the scythe reformed and a shockwave was sent out. Unfortunately for the black dog and Night himself, the shockwave hit them, his body reverted with pain as he felt the familier pain. Jack dammit, this hunter.

"Tybalt, This guy is really really bad news!" Night pushed himself up and wiped the blood now forming at his mouth, he was bloody, bruised and one hell of a pissed off cat as he glared. "I can't get into to too much detail, Red is that beast over there, we've been battling her so make sure we don't go mad with insanity in our fear, this guy keeps pulling all these freaking surprise attacks out." Night cringed, "I haven't even been able to get close enough to him to hit him with some bad luck." Night glared, before looking at the one's that joined their group.

"LW!" Night saluted her, glad to see another familiar face, "Thank goodness your all right." He smiled at his cuddling companion before his ears perked up at the familer sound of his ghoulfriend.

"Simone! SIMONE!" Night called out before he saw the girl, who had taken her clossul heels off. Smart to do in this terrain as he headed over to her. Before doing so, he popped his only pumpkin pill before embracing her, pulling her into a tight hug. "Thank Jack your alright, a little worse for the wear...." he faintly flushed at the nudity before leading her back to the dogs, Lw and Tybalt.

"What do we do now...." Night looked at Caelius. Their group was so close to him that Night felt like he should attack, but watching Shun and Mitsu get pushed back reprimanded that. What the hell were they going to do now!?!?

Vaith felt the gryphon's armlock around him, dropping his guard as he took the moment to just absorb the other's warmth. It made his hand seem like it hurt a little less .. as long as he didnt think about it. "I'm not lying." He stubbornly whispered-- If Vaith insisted on it, then he did. Vaith wasn't going to sit around at this turn of events. Listening to the banter back and forth, he grew restless amongst the action. They didnt have time for a break. He untangled himself from Xiu, struggling to stand, wincing as he accidentally used his main hand to prop himself upwards.

"Just don't dissipate, Xiu. Whatever you do, don't disappear on us." It was just like Vaith, to not get involved with the fight over Xiu taking the pumpkin pill. But if she wasted their work, Xiu would have to be prepared for quite the lecture from the reaper. His first lecture, possibly. If she made it back.

It was better for her not to disappear overall.

Harrison, in spite of the jostling, repositioned himself silently by Caelius again. He looked past their leader to the battlefield, hoping that Jerry could make it without getting picked on. Harrison wouldn't say he was exactly helpless. Anyone that bothered him would probably get a panicked faceful of bazooka. Candace was close by, she'd jumped in with him and took out the first person to so much as give Caelius an ugly look. B0nez was feeling chattier and less...weird. He wanted it to mean they could use their equipment and get out of there.



Barth noticed something very small, dazed, and fuzzy roll his way and stop just short of the twisting thorn wall. Still holding himself, he tried a tentative.

"Hello?" He looked out across the battle, as Shun was drained and the Hunters began to bristle into a consolidated force, "Are you err, alive?"
