The scent had caught her nose before the flash of red did her eyes, a surge of energy passing through Shehk, exhilarated, excited. It sent every nerve in her body reeling into a frenzy - everything was happening all of a sudden and that first motivation for moving settled into her insides was suddenly joined by a second one. That scream of "HALLOOOOOOOOOOOWEEEEN!" caused Shehk to suddenly throw her head back and howl along with the fragment of the werewolf.
The shift in the insanity had not touched her in the least - her behavior wasn't ready to change. But now she had a real target - one who smelled delicious and perhaps was the first taste of anything she'd been hoping to get.
Caelius - Shehk was more than ready to jump onto the scythe wielding hunter to try and find something to devour - some piece, some morsel.

She'd managed to avoid getting hit with that weapon of his. Fortunate - she didn't want to get hit with that scythe. Even in a half-crazed state she knew better than that. But she seemed so pleased when she got through that rather large range of reach of his and even shot him a rather wicked grin.
"We meat again, Lunchmeat." she greeted before she sunk her teeth into him - but only until he would throw him off. She'd hold on as long as she could. After all - she'd been craving his scent for months, almost a year even. She wasn't about to pass up this opportunity to settle a long standing hunger.

Suddenly, Deryk was feeling a lot better. Blinking as the voices were quelled, he loosened up. With a sense of confusion, he looked around, only to stare in horror as Ceres was turned to stone.
"No!" he cried out. However, he didn't even get to keep his attention on that for long as he heard a new voice shouting 'HALLOWEEN'. Spinning around, he saw a red cloaked figure. He had never known Red. He wasn't there last year when she faced off against Caelius. The fact that one of them was even fighting the guy was a huge surprise to him.
This reaper (he could have sworn he saw a weapon...) was.. kind of impressive really. He was a little nervous to try and fend her off of his death lead. He should be able to fight her off.. right? Maybe.
He... better do something. Yes. Even if it meant having to get really close to the red cloaked Reaper person.

It didn't seem quite fair, that their time attempting to save the boil inside the barrier was so short. When they failed, Riley looked for a new target - but she didn't have to look hard.
She heard, and felt, the mood change around her. This was important. This was worth fighting for. Her eyes scanned the scene, narrowing on the red cloak.
It made perfect sense, to her. Miracles happened every day. The trouble was what to do afterward.
Riley felt the heaviness come down upon her, threatening to keep her frozen where she stood. She took each step one at a time, pushing through it until she reached the intended target, and then she snapped her clawed hands, swiping futile scratches against the surface.
Almost nothing. And yet something. That was what mattered.
She heard Shehk's voice as the canine bore down on Caelius, baring all those teeth. It was clear this was where she was supposed to be, even if she didn't quite understand why this fight was so important.

Tybalt's heart leaped with joy at the sight of Red on the field.
She was alive!
All this time they had thought her to be dead and here she was. Joining in with the others, there was a series of yips and howls from the black dog, as if cheering on their professor. It was all the motivation he needed to leap back into action.
Already reverted back into his natural form, the black dog's paws hit the ground hard as he ran directly for the one directly responsible for a lot of pain they had to endure.

Otto staid still like a good little patient while Melvin got him fixed up. Whether it was the med kit or the sudden ebbing of Insanity in the air, he felt a ton better. Looking around, it seemed whatever had once been Ceres and a student.. was now stone, just like Marcus. Bix was nowhere to be seen. Otto felt a tightening in his gut that said maybe this wasn't an illusion.
"Yeah. Better." Otto replied, rubbing the bandage on his nose. And then he remembered he still had Eva's scarf on.
. . .
Where was she anyway?
His attention was taken by the appearance of a Halloweener in red. Target sighted. She was fighting Caelius, and while his Division lead was a massive d**k, he was his boss.
Otto hurled Tenya at the eyesore with as much force as he could muster after his long break.
Ceres deep down should feel bad for attacking Rep... or at least, not refusing and trying to stop Takeru...right? Funnily... she really didn't. She knew that the attack would not kill the hunter. Hurt like a b***h maybe, but not kill. Rep was far too freaking stubborn for that. Maybe that was why she was ok with it, revenge for killing the one person in the world she would never see again.
See Rep, if she was such spiteful b***h and a monster.... she would have gone for one of your boyfriends instead.
Though that did not matter much anymore, because with a turn of their massive head, they felt something change. Something...shift. It called to them, tempting them with words of pleasantries and hope. Words of safety and...home.
The change started off slow... but rapidly increased over time. A numbling feeling crawled up their legs, reaching up like blackish grey fingers as they crept up their shared body. The duo found their words useless, their minds captivated by the emotion of home and of peace. By instinct, the both of them knew on a primal level that this was coming. How else was the pair to live? Not of either worlds, but something in the middle. Something not even fully formed and pure.
Paler and paler they turned and just before the transformation was complete, those whom had defended them... no, defended HER earlier would hear a brief whisper in their minds.
Im sorry...
Ceres has Died.

The sudden howl of Halloween sent chills down Xiu's spine and she jerked her head up. Was that...? She thought that she caught a flash of red from the corner of her eye before a few hunters suddenly surged forward to attack the figure, effectively blocking her view.
Was it really her? Was she actually back?
Xiu swallowed a lump in her throat, steeling herself as she turned to look at the scythe-wielding hunter. Now that was a familiar figure, wasn't it? She--and many of her friends--had very unpleasant memories associated with this man from their run-in the year before. While she didn't like to think that she was the type to hold a grudge, the baku certainly wouldn't have been opposed to getting a chance to punch said hunter in the face.
Unfortunately, as she approached him, she suddenly found herself caught in one of his attacks, a sharp jolt traveling through her. Gritting her teeth, the baku dropped to her knees, unable to move.

What was happening on the battlefield was....well...insane. There was just no better word for it. Hunters were attacking each other, students had turned...into hunters? It was too confusing, and the dragon found herself taking in the whole spectacle from afar. That was until the last giant creatures had been turned to stone. Just like Riley had been.
And then the lead hunter popped up and was attacking...some figure in Red? Poke had not meet the famous teacher before, apart from the times in trance, but the battle cry she let lose sent her blood afire. Others began to howl, and she was quick to take up the fever, jaws parting to let louse a mighty roar. She then dived, straight for the blue figure the red figure was fighting, Caelius.
It might of been wise for the dragon ghoul to have hold back and waited for a better chance, but screw that. Her front talons reacher for the hunter, but all she got was a face full of scythe.
She barely managed to dodge the majorty of the blow, but the attack left her unable to move, so she glided to the ground, growling angrily at her missed chance.

Her cry rang out and it was all the ghoul needed. She ignored the hunters, the students, she focused on the flowing cloak of Red. Purple FEAR bursting to life along her arms together the full extent of her rage coming to the surface.
"REEEEEEEEEEEEEED!" She practically howled herself as she ran towards the Death Hunters leader, "I'm not letting you die alone again dammit, not this time. Not again." She hissed as she entered the range of Caelius wild swings. The first of which locked her in place a shack of energy moving through her causing her to freeze in place hissing.
"I'll kill you, you damn hunter...."

The whispering died down, which was a nice reprieve. And just when that horse that HAD been Ceres lunged and gored into Rep- and Harrison was off-guard, finishing packing bandaids, something seemed to come over it.
It froze.
And then it...
What made it...? The stone was somehow worse, like it could come back alive any second. Harrison backed off, exchanging a look with Rep. Caelius appeared. A howl rang out over the battlefield.
Tracey and B0nez were both lit up, and Rep watched the red, foggy figure with intent. When he broke into a run, Harrison was at his side.
Stats:
Name: Harrison Hughes Charge: 3/3 Defending: Rep HP: 50/50 FEAR Strength: 90% Insanity Strength: 10% Items: Corrupt Runic Bandage (x2), Runic Bandaids RP Blurb: Scarred hunter with a bleach blonde buzzcut, a pink sash around his waist, and dual cutlasses.
One minute he was thinking about heading to the barrier with lizardguy, the next snorting misty pony death was bearing down upon him, there wasn't time to run away and nowhere to run to. All he could do was helplessly hold up Tracey as the monstrous thing went to town on him.Fighting it would be ******** tough and he found himself backing up a bit, anxiously readying the axe for another assault.
But it never came.
Ceres turned to stone. He frowned momentarily, another hunter possibly dead thanks to this place, another chalk outline on the pavement. And he'd liked her, a moon. Moons were important. Why was it always the ******** moons? He couldn't dwell on it though, there was no time to grieve on the battlefield, he just had to get on with it.
And then Cael was up against someone, the unmistakable blue of Circe up against the red of whatever the hell the other creature was, it was impossible to tell from here. All he knew was that not so very long ago a giant dragon covered in red runes had tried to kill them all, born of this damn canyon or whatever it was they were currently trapped within, fog pressing in from all sides.
Cael had made the right calls so far in this battle. He was Deus, he was a hunter, and if people could pick and choose wether to fight alongside assholes simply on the premise of not liking someone then where was he left? In a surreal instant, a stupid poem they'd done one of the very few times he'd been forced to come into class for a free lunch drifted into his thoughts.
Theirs was not to reason why, theirs was but to do and die.
It was oddly appropriate in the moment.
Breaking into a run he joined the fray, charge crackling wildly along Tracey's blade, runes bleeding off as he sought to find a centre, sought to get near enough to land a blow.
Tracey however it seemed had been carrying the charge too long and was too exhausted, the swing wasn't as mean as it could have been, fizzling out midway, even the usual wrench of the swing was limited. He snarled furiously at his own uselessness, feeling even more self critical than usual.

There was nothing left to do but continue to try. Continue to swipe her claws at the enemy, despite how little her attacks did. Sammy was frozen behind her, and Shehk still fought alongside her. There was nothing to do but keep trying.
