Welcome to Gaia! ::

Earlier Inside:

Students had been caught by hunters in various and mostly underhanded ways. After a near loss of the kelpie, Calder, to weapon transformation, and then a strange rewinding of time, the captives soon found themselves alone to suffer the happy but painful hope of rescue together. And rescuers did come, after many searches for the cage's key cards, the rescuers took matters into their own hands, and sacrificing their own health, destroyed the hunters' generator. A bright blue light filled the room, leaving students feeling refreshed and energetic. As students reunite inside, a discreetly placed LCD screen lights up and begins counting down.

Is this the calm before the storm?

Earlier Outside:

Hunter trainees and students were taken to a room where time was held at a standstill. When they were released, they found themselves confronted with a very familiar scene: the hunter back yard encampment and a recently captured Soul Harvester. This was not a simple case of deja vu, but rather a do-over created through a deal between the Harvester and the mysterious Clockwork. The senior hunters appear to have no idea that time was manipulated in such a manner.

A battle began to take place, and the students, having run through this particular warzone before, now had a much easier time of it. But before things could really heat up...the Hunter Trainees got an new command, via text, and were transported out of the area for what was revealed to be an ambush on the other students who were taken through through the door of Space.

The benefits of going back and changing the past can be high, as are the risks. In this version of events, it was not Caelius to meet the Soul Harvester on the field as she was freed, but Dr. H and his assistant. Rather than meet her head on, power for power, the doctor took advantage of a moment of weakness to behead her, in the hopes that their portable containment unit could hold the Harvest long enough to fully contain her. But their are certain creatures in any world that should not be bound, and instead of holding her, it fully destroyed her instead.

Alone on the field against a mob of nightmare creatures, Dr. H and Clarice summoned the help of Moon Squad 12 to hold off the assault until Caelius returned with the trainees. Separately, the squad members are nothing too difficult, but their defensive coordination has created a difficult wall for those trying to fight their way into the tent. Others have sought to use stealth to sneak in the back way, but only a handful have made it through without attracting the doctor or his assistant's rather painful attentions.

A bright light burst from the tent and filled the field, giving students a renewed and energetic feeling. As students breathe a sigh of relief and wonder what exactly just happened, a creeping invasion of grey begins recolouring the field.

Is it really safe out here?


The Boss Rush:

round 1:
As it turns out, they really didn't have to worry about the countdown in the tent, and the creeping grey quickly became covered in rainbows and sparkles and students wearing princess dresses. The tent and hunter equipment were destroyed, leaving all of the students together on the field to face their next great obstacle together. A giant wizardly boo appeared on the field to make a wizardly attack but was quickly defeated by power of Fashion Rage and Puppies in Dresses.

round 2:
A monkey with a barrel proved slightly less fun than a barrel full of monkeys. Excited by all the [princesses on the field, it was soon raining kegs. Fortunately the princesses were able to knock him off the roof. In the end, twas beauty that killed the beast.

Glitter once again covers the field and another mysterious beam of FEAR-light shot back into the house.

round 3:
The smell of baked goods filled the air, and when the house was done baking, it covered the students with delicious spookies and attracted the attentions of spookies' natural predator: the Spookie Ghost. A delicious battle took place, and then the students all frolicked naked through the field and/or snacked.

The sound of millions of pieces of glass breaking comes from the house in the distance.

round 4:
A frolicking ceased as sharp Rain of Pain (and broken mirrors) shot out of the out and into the students! Next appeared a Couch. It just wanted friends, but it's timing was bad as by now the student were pumped with adrenaline and the need to kill just about everything associated with the house. It doesn't help that they have been without adult supervision for quite sometime, and thus are only two steps from re-enacting the Halloween version of Lord of the Flies.

It's been quiet for a little while, has the end really come? Sounds from the house indicate: no.

After flooding the field with minty cool water, the battered heroes find themselves confronted with an even larger boss, a giant fish that began eating students left and right, making them smell tragically bad. After defeating this beast, the FEAR-filled beam that shot into the sky and began forming a portal.

What could this all mean?
