Hunters in Wonderland [plot: invite only]

David looked to see the bird was dead, but to also see the hedgehog heading for Vanille. Ah crap. "Bill grab the hedgehog and hit Jack over the head with it, without hurting our friends!" David shouted.

"Throw hog at Jack," Bill repeats mechanically. Bill darts from the hedgehog but it was too far and much faster then the lizard man in the bowler hat. Bill won't be able to grab the hedgehog in time. "No hurt friends," Bill growls. "Must keep friends from getting hurt!"

Bill opens his mouth and lets out a thick black cloud of smoke, covering the hedgehog. The cloud is so thick, nothing can be seen of the creature inside. Eventually the hog bursts out of the cloud but its trajectory is off, blinded by the cloud of smoke and it narrowly misses Vanille.

After rolling ten meters away, the hedgehog makes a U turn and tries again.

Malina scrambled away from the massive fireball however not completely fast enough. The flames locked at her left arm before she could fully escape it's path. "Alright. I have had enough with your stupid ass games you stuck up bitch!" Malina yelled as she sprinted forward, much faster than before, and scooped up one of the heads with the end of her right weapon as she ran. She came within mere feet of Elizabeth before quickly ducking underneath Elizabeth and passing underneath her legs. As she said under she let out a powerful jab with her right weapon, with the severed head on top, toward the back of Eliza's knee.

Eliza suddenly sinks into the sea of heads again before Malina manages to land a hit. Emerging again a few meters behind Malina, Elizabeth has a slight blush on her smiling face, her hand tugging at the edge of her skirt.

"Oh you naughty girl," Eliza hums teasingly. "Did you really wanted to see that much? How forward of you.... But if you insist, they're black with a red heart."

Eliza smiles and points at Malina's weapon with the head stuck on. The severed cranium starts to swell up like a balloon and suddenly explodes.

David looked over at Jack who now had fire saws. Great. "Bill protect the friends the hedgehog is attacking, and if at all possible try and throw the hedgehog at jack."

"Protect friends," Bill repeats. "Try to throw hog at Jack."

Running up pass Vanille and Saneleps, Bill steps uses his body to intercept the hedgehog. Slamming into the lizard, the hedgehog continues spinning furiously but Bill does not budge even an inch.

"Try to throw," Bill repeats mechanically. Grabbing the hedgehog with both arms, Bill hefts it up, lifting it over his head. Bill looks around. "Who's Jack?"

David put his head in his hand. "He is the guy with the chain saws and skull for a head." David said pointing to Jack.

"Got it," Bill states. The lizard man tosses the hedgehog at Jack. Not noticing the in coming projectile, the hedgehog slams against one of the guillotines and knocks Jack to the side. After getting knocked away for five meters, Jack Ripper quickly recovers. Looking at the hedgehog as it struggles to pick itself up, the persona of murderous intent raises one of its flaming chainsaws and cleaves the creature in two out of spite.

Jack Ripper then points its two chain guns in the general direction of the group and starts shooting wildly.

Laeleps loads ice into his arm and charges at Jack with his blade drawn. "Where do you think you're looking at? YOU'RE FIGHTING ME!" Laeleps comes in from the side of Jack and fires ice dust down at Jack's arm followed by a swing from his blade with all his strength trying to sever the arm from Jacks body.


Saneleps considers what his next move is with Vanille at his side. "Vanille try to not use whatever put you in that state. Whatever it is its trying to take you over." Saneleps looks over in the distance and notices Jack has gotten wilder and has started firing his guns. "No time to discuss that now! Sorry about this Vanille!" Saneleps quickly picks Vanille up in a princess carry and runs out of the line of fire into the trees.

Laelep's ice dust manages to freeze Jack's right arm from the shoulder down to the elbow. As he brings his blade down on the arm, the sleeve simply flops down hanging limply from Jack's shoulder. There was literally nothing up Jack's sleeves, though his skeletal hand floats in place, still firing wildly.

Blood comes out from Jack's hollow neck and lashes out at Laeleps in the form of tendrils again, aiming to all stab into his chest.

Malina was knocked back a foot or two as the head exploded in front of her and splattered blood onto her, already bloodied, face. As she slid backward she turned her Weapon backwards and hooked another head onto it. She then looked up at Eliza and raised her eyebrow. "What's wrong? I thought you wanted to be friends. I'm the guest here aren't I? You should allow your guest to choose the game, shouldn't you?" She asked through clenched teeth and with a extremely tight grip on her weapons as Manticore flicked behind her from side to side.

"Oh goody, then you do want to play," Eliza giggles. "Alright then, what do you want to--"

The heart covered girl is cut off as a sudden gust of wind comes up. Many heads rose from the ground, carried by the heavy winds into the air currents. Dirt and rose petals as well as severed head flew around to form a blinding storm. The storm goes on disorienting all senses. After some time goes on, the storm finally lets up. Eliza and Jack are nowhere in sight and Malina finds herself in a strange position.

Spoiler:

Malina notices familiar figures of people she once knew long ago and came to know recently at Beacon rising from the ground forming a thick circle around them. Each one had a sick smile on their face and they all went saying the same thing over and over.

Spoiler:

The taunts went on and on, echoing and echoing the same phrases on and on.

The man in the labcoat leans over placing a gentle hand on Malina's cheek and strokes it softly.

"Don't worry Malina," he says to her in that all too familiar voice, "This won't hurt one bit..."

The woman next to the man steps up now. In her hands she held a mechanical claw. The man lifts up his own hands, showing to Malina a metallic head. He pushes it closer to Malina's face until she could stare directly into the glass eyes. through them she can see circuits and wires. The thing was obviously not a helmet, it was meant to be a new head.

"Soon we will make you perfect," the man murmurs with a smile on his face. Suddenly out of nowhere, something appears behind the man. He turns around, setting down thee mechanical head and picks up one of the jars. Turning around, he speaks to Malina again.

Spoiler:

"Malina," the man hums, "... We love you...."

Malina's eyes went wide with fear as her mother and father approached her. "No...No....you...go away. Go AWAY!" Despite her pleas to her parents they continued to inch closer and closer. "Stay back! Stay back or I'll......I'll..." Malina's head flooded with memories from her time in Alapegias. Her years in school being called terrible things by the 'normal' kids. The times in the play ground, alone. The times when she had been ridiculed by the teachers themselves. She had been ridiculed by everyone. Everyone, except her parents. Her parents, the twisted assholes that caused it, thought she was beautiful now. She thanked them for that small bit of kindness in her childhood but in her years growing she realized how messed up they had been to her. They needed to suffer the way she did. They needed to die painfully and slowly. They needed to pray to whatever unholy divine they believed in before she could....could what. With all of these thoughts racing through Malina's mind and with her parents inching ever closer, she, for one of the first times in her life, had no idea what to do. "I'll...I'll..." She couldn't. She just couldn't. For all of her teachings and self taught strategies she had no idea what to do next. Instead she laid there, with Manticore frantically stabbing itself into the table in an attempt to break through and release her binds. As her parents neared her a single tear rolled down her eye as memories of her terrible, horrible childhood flashed through her mind.

"Malina~," her mothers whispers lifting up the mechanical head for her to see. "We are going to make you so~ beautiful."

"Don't worry," her father murmurs, lifting up a surgical scalpel. "It won't hurt a bit..."

"Freak! Freak! Monster! Ugly! Disgusting creature! Demon! Freak!

The endless taunts continue on around her, the endless sea of hurtful words stabbing at her as Malina's father inched the scalpel closer to her neck.

David looked over at Malina. That's.....different. He flew down to her. "Do you need help?" He said slamming into the two figures with his wings.

Before David could reach the two figures, a familiar half-face appears in front of him. The face moves from side to side as if shaking it's head saying "no" before disappearing again.

David came to a dead stop. "No? why no?" He thought to himself. Hm. It might have to deal with the fact it is her own nightmare. Like with hunter. Or I'm just nuts. [Release me] Shut up.

Malina, seeing the blade come closer and closer, moves her body forward just enough for Manticore to squirm to her side of the table. As soon as it made it over to her side it shot up and cut her left hand's bind. She immediately grabbed her fathers hand and moved it to the right so that the scalpel jabbed into the table.

"Now now Malina," the father murmurs, "You have to be a good girl and stay still for your father..."

"^&%! YOU." Malina says as Manticore shoots outward to impale her father in his wrist.

The stinger goes right through the man's wrist, his hand falling right to the ground, his bleeding wrist pulsing with dripping blood. The father looks down at his torn off wrist.

"Ah~ it works perfectly doesn't it?" he says with a smile. "That's what makes you our wonderful daughter... That's why we have to keep on making you more beautiful....."

The father and the mother suddenly change, their skin swelling and pulse as if something inside of them is trying to burst out. Their skin tearing, Malina's parents suddenly turn to something grotesque.

Spoiler:

"Be a good girl and let mommy and daddy take care of you...."

Malina cuts the rest of her bindings and falls to the ground. She looks up just in time to see her 'parents' shed their skins to reveal what they truly were. She knew what she had to do now. Her parents were evil terrible people. People who needed to be shown the consequence of their actions. People who needed to burn. these things weren't her mother or father, but they were damn close enough. Her head was clear now and only one thought crossed her mind. 'Kill.' She cartwheeled off to the side away from the table to get a better look at her pseudo-parents. 'Pincer. Claw. Two tails to my one. Big. Looks like it can shoot a something from one. Metal, lots of metal. Two extra appendages. Eyes. Normal eyes....go for the eyes.' She began to circle the beasts such as Eliza had done to her. She fired off round after round ofter round toward the creature's eyes. Fire and ice and repulsion and explosive and fired and electricity and fire and fire and ice and explosive and repulsion and fire. 'Reload.' She began to reload her weapons and kept circling the beasts before engaging it again.

As Malina fires off her first few shots the bullets seem to do nothing as the monsters that posed as her parents covered their faces with their claws. They raise their stingers and they look to be ready to strike back, when all of a sudden a voice comes from nowhere.

"You are trialed by the crime of ruining the fun of the queen of hears," the voice says from everywhere at once. "Your judgement.... Off with your head...."

Without warning a red  blur goes right through the necks of the two monsters. Their heads fall to the ground and their bodies soon follow. Eliza stands there, her blade not even covered with blood.

Spoiler:

Eliza giggles like a little school girl. "It tastes like.... love...."

Saneleps looks toward Malina to see the brutal sight before him. To him this is nothing compared to the horrors his other half was committed while he was forced to watch but he wasn't so sure of Vanille. With Vanille still in his arms he moves further away and shields the view away from Vanille. "Vanille don't look this is not for your eyes to see."


((Sky do not make Vanille look. She's messed up enough.))

David looked mover at the disgusting sight. You...you want to take over for a bit man? [Your on you own man.] David's skin and hair turned a ghostly white, before he bent over and began vomiting on and off.

In the arms of Saneleps, Vanille feels safe from harm, like he would protect her and as she looks around her eyes are suddenly shielded from view. "Hey! Why....but....I wanna see...come on Tamotsu..." Vanille crosses her arms and pouts looking away from Saneleps.

"You.......you killed my mother and father?" Malina said after a few moments of staring. "That was MY job." She said calmly as she walked up to her father's body and used Manticore to sever his left mechanical pincer. Manticore then wrapped itself around it and picked it up to use as an extension to her own tail, giving her more reach but left her less mobile. "They were mine to kill. They needed to die slower than that. They needed to be taken to the brink of death then brought back to do it again. they needed to hang. They needed to be eaten by scorpions they needed to DIE!....and you took that from me. YOU are tried by the crime of ruining the revenge of the blood scorpion. Your punishment....off with bitch's head." she said calmly as she sprinted forward with Summer's Blaze now holstered, and took a primary swipe at Eliza's knees.
