"Will I still be in the fight with Alice?" Jenny needed to know so she could be ready and maybe get a little satisfaction to. Depending on the answer Jenny would either be ready for combat or relax and give the man a simple nod. "Is their anyway I can repay you?"
The man looked to the white plain the image of the armed girl with raven wings and her demonic enemy once more forming up "You will return to where the conflict begins." the image previously floating lightly now remained still as the red skull looked to Jenny "Yes, let's not meet again. The Shepherd would rather I not interfere with her flock."
"Come on, off you go. I'll be watching." the man didn't seem keen on answering any questions Jenny had, though he was fairly polite and respectful to her.
Jenny took a deep breath and steeped into the ink, hearing a single distant drop of rain echo out at the back of her before it went black.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Suddenly Jenny herself stopped mid fall a dark crimson red coloring the darkness surrounding her "Found you~~" from the darkness Alices face atleast 50ft in size emerged, distorted with demonic teeth two huge palms each proportional to the huge face with serated blade-like tips "You can't leave yet, Jenny." she grinned vilely, in between her teeth Jenny could see undefined figures wailing their bodies as if stuck there.
Jenny felt a gentle touch on her shoulder as a hand placed Frost into her palm. The succubus knew the only way to get out of this madness was to end Alices influence here and now she had the tool to do it.
Accidentally closed the window... fock the details now
Shots fired!
Jennys empties her magazine (6 shots!):
75+(last shot 45+) vs 25 no way she'll miss.
145 damage total!!!
Alice attacks!
111 vs ... it's a 111 atk roll.. HIT
47 damage done! [23/70 HP left!]
12 Apparitions appear!
Jenny wasn't going to fault this again! The bheroine quickly cocked her gun and rolled to the side into a prone position, no talking or looking silly! Frost emited a cool from his cilinders when suddenly he was called to action!
Jenny let loose a barrage of attacks, two of her shots hitting alice directly in her gargantuan eye, the other blasting at her face. The whole world shook as the creature cried out in pain as she covered her one eye hauling like a pig in slaughter.
After a brief pause Alice leaned forward and roared out at Jenny with pure rage one of the huge arms moving at the heroine in the mad girls frenzy. Jenny didn't even stand a chance to dodge a hand that sized, not when she was prone especially!
Jenny braced for impact and was slammed with insane strentgh, the bones throughout her body each seemingly crackling at the impact before she was flung through the air for what seemed to be atleast a mile. Unfortunately in this place there was no such thing as distance.
Jenny rolled across the darkness from the force, but soon enough found her footing and stopped herself. The huge creature continued to vail in pain and threw a side some of it's blood form her palm. Where each drop landed a different figure appeared, each some sort of crippled, sickly or nightmarish creature! Each coming for Jenny!
Jenny was now facing 12 of Alices blood minnions and the creature herself, turning her attention to the heroine with rage burning in her eyes "I'll use you as a table!"
Yeah no the thought of being a tea table for all existence was not something Jenny wanted to do. Like the wind Jenny was up and in the air hoping that the minions would be unable to fly. Pulling a potion from no where it seemed or hoping it worked like her fight with Jack Jenny drank restoring her health and brought frost to bear once more letting another string of shots at Alice. Six shots rang out once more as Jenny weaved and dodged. Actions
gain some height and fight defensively using rapid fire on Alice again for 6 shots
If Jenny cant't get into the air still drink the potion and fight defensivly using rapid shot 6
6 more nightmarish apparitions appear

#4 45 vs 60 miss
#5 47 vs 60 miss

Jenny quickly spun the chamber, which caused beams of light to fly into each socket forming up a bullet, in a blink of an eye Frost was ready to fire once more!
The heroine quickly summoned forth her wings and went ot the skies(?) aiming down her weapon to Alice who roared out like a crazed beast at her, far from the creature that spoke to her previously.
There was no hesitation, Jenny rained down a flurry of shoot upon Alice. Who cried out and covered as each shot ripped at her flesh... and that flesh soon after forming up into more enemies for the heroine to face.
*click* *click* Jenny cursed silently as her opponent finally caught respite, Alice trashed around violently even flatout squashing some of the blood minnions before she swiftly retreated into the darkness and out of sight. A tear of light in the darkness where she previous stood now lingered.
Jennys eyes shinned with joy when suddenly a growl could be heard from behind her! The heroine rolled forward avoiding an attack only to jump onto a punch from one other of the creatures as it grinned with the heroine on it's fist. Jenny swiftly kicked the creature aside and fliped or saulted over any other opponents around. Deftly and fairly easily avoiding any and all other attacks.
Jenny quickly dashed onwards and through the small tear, the light enveloping her and blinding her briefly.
Jenny opened her eyes and quickly looked around. She was in a antique looking room, with shreded sofa, broken table and mirror. The heroine breathed deeply and looked over herself, noting she was slipped in a particulary raggedy summer dress. The colors completely gone and mixed between themselves to make the dress an utter sloppy and moth eaten mess. Was she back?
There was one exit out of here, if she wished to quickly return to action.
Jenny held her head a moment trying to get her bearings and see if her gear was nearby. She probably didn't have a lot of time she needed to find Riley and Sir can get out of this mad house before something else happened.
Her weapons and most the notes and items she had were in Sir's backpack. Hopefully no enemies were around, but somehow Jenny had a sense that unlike Jacks stomping grounds, Alice kept quite a bit of company.
Jenny looked over the room once more, perhaps there were some potential weapons around. Even a steel rod would do! Unless Jenny took one of the broken boards from the table, the heroine would have to set out unarmed.
Jenny approached the door and just like always listened for anything behind it, unfortunately she did infact hear something. As if something solid was being dragged at a very slow pace.
The heroine opened up the door and looked where exactly she was right. She was still on the first floor! Room number 3 if she was not mistake, the heroine glanced back to the completely and utterly wrecked room. Compared to the Mens proffesor rooms this one was unrecogniseable... the enemy spent much more time inside here. For reasons Jenny quite easily suspected.
Still the hallway in hand one end lead to the exit and the other to the chair and the 'tea-party'. Seemingly looking through some sort of fog Jenny couldn't make out if any of the attendees were present, but if the dark and ruined hallway was of any tell, the tea party would not be the same as she last saw...
The last know where about of Sir where in the tea party but then again the heavy dragging noise... Moving with the shadows Jenny and staying quiet she moved to the door way of the tea room and tried to steal a peak.
Jenny silently approached the table and noted the 4 shadows, Alice was not present. It was dangerous, but her only way forward. The heroine sneaked forward as the tea aprty came to focus.
The were 2 puppets here, one in a tight ragged black suit, 2 puncture wounds acting as eyes on it's on corpse. The black ooze from the wound already dried up and leaving black trails across it's face. The other had it's maw stappled into a huge grin, the flesh clearly pulled forcefully, the iron rivets clearly applied forcefully into it's mouth. Also one of the gemini slime girls was here, though frozen in an expression of just pure fear, the slime cristalized and likely drained of all life. Leaving just a frozen shell.
The dragging noise echoed once more from nearby, Jenny tensed up and peaked from behind the corner. Only for relief to rush through her, it was Sir!
The little golem was dragging the chair her tied to with likely too much rope across the hallway, trying to make his way towards the stairs! Thankfully he didn't seem unharmed... would also explain why he didn't rush off to help Riley earlier!
Jenny rushed to Sir and quickly began to untie him and grabbing her rifle and blade. Motioning to the stairs Jenny made a shhs motion and began to creep up them hopefully with Sir right behind her.
Time was off the essence, making Jenny move quickly and plainly. The heroine quickly ran up to Sir and silently attempted to untie his rope, before giving up and cutting them off with her blade.
Finally free Servo quickly floated a few feet forward and turned around to see who it was. Much to his joy it, the heroine stood there! The lil guy quickly floated up to her and hugged her leg happily.
Jenny didn't spare a word at the reunion, nor did any gesture showing happiness and quickly motioned for both of them to move on and upwards. How long was the heroine out... just how long was Riley in Alices hands by now.
Still the heroine moved up to the second floor only to hear a small bell ring out. A puppet riding a tricycle rode through the hallway, a cristal emiting light in a cone infront of it was lodged into the creatures skull.
It was currently in the hallway forward, unless Jenny killed it off it meant to go through the right or left passages.
It was likely some twisted sentry and killing it may just alert Alice. Jenny would have to trust to her stealth skills and waited for the puppet to chose its direction before Jenny moved in the opposite all the while keeping an ear and eye out for Riley.
Jenny picked one of the unpatroled areas and carefully sneaked to the right hallway. It was filled with numerous paintings of all manner of beautiful female mages, though most of them had aged horribly with the colors either gone or the whole painting ruined via lcaerations or goob trails.
She was no on the right side of the Dorms 4 doors infront of her, each had patchwork fixes on them. It was up to Jenny to pick a door, with Servo peaking around the corner to make sure the sentry was not coming.
Jenny quickly looked back and forward. So far she didn't hear a word. Looking about the once beautiful paintings made the girl sad no doubt they where all once mages at the school still she couldn't linger for long no doubt the sentry would be back shortly. Taking her blade in hand Jenny check the first door listening for anything before opening it if she couldn't tell what lay beyond.
Jenny could hear something, but it was hard to place. The heroine ever so slowly cracked the doors open to reveal wolf, his fur completely soaked in blood from the numerous puctures wounds and a girl in a red cape sitting nearby, using a butchers knife to write something out on the wooden table near her.
Even if it was a survivor she was likely mad as Alice or Alice herself. The girl didn't look like Riley but then again she could alter herself at will. Still it was best to pass by and check another room before the sentry came back around. Closing the door silently Jenny moved to the next one and listened in and peaked to make sure it was safe. She had no idea when the Sentry might return and having an empty room to hide in would be a boon.
Jenny thinking better of it, slowly closed the door. Not alerting the woman inside.
The heroine glanced back to Sir, who was still keeping an eye out for danger. Jenny approached the second door and tried the handle. Locked. Jenny could awlays force the door down, but it seemed fairly risky.
Especially once Jenny neared the third door she could hear quite the commotion inside. leaving the second door for the time being Jenny peeked inside the third room, the hole in the door allowing easily vantage inside.
It was one of the lizard creatures raping.. a slimegirl? The hunter grunted with each thrust making the bed beneath churn out as the slime girl grinned in ecstasy at the treatment. Both of them had strange blank expressions, more visible on the hunter.
