Shun was still locked in combat with the hunter when the shot went off, hitting the shadowy form. It was a bit of a close call, considering he was right there in the fray. And such he shot Fox a bit of a dirty look. He was going to be pissed if she ended up shooting him on accident.
The hunter hissed as it turned its sights on her as well.
"Officer Blisskiss," it started, now using her voice in a mocking tone, "I'm surprised you're here. What if I... BANG! BANG!"
It charged at her, making the sounds of gunfire as it lashed out.

The crack of another bullet was what pulled Jamie back to reality, his eyes wide and almost animalistic, like prey torn between fight or flight. In all honesty, he didn't want to fight, he almost never wanted to fight. There was always a wish at the back of his mind, a naive and hopeful one, that tried to pretend there was good in everyone and everything.
Shiloh would feel it, but he'd feel it withering, too.
The shadow monster had already left its host by the time Jamie moved. He was wary of Fox and her gun as he got closer, the last thing he wanted was to get shot, but he was a physical attacker and this was the best chance he had.
Leaping to the side to avoid the shadow's charge at Fox, Jamie pulled back and threw his best punch, trying to remember everything Alg had taught him about proper form. In the heat of the moment, it was difficult.
"What the hell is this, Kuroda?!" he shouted, unsure whether he'd actually know or not.

Everything happened really fast; was Shiloh getting rusty? Or was he just getting to the point where his reflexes were dimming with his newly found defeatist attitude? Christ, the Spinel Lady had raised him to be better than this, where was your fight or flight instinct Shiloh? Even Jamie was charging into the fray once the shadowy creature showed itself.
Wait. Even Jamie.
When the hell had he grown up so much? Shiloh'd been there every step of the way, but he guessed he hadn't really been watching. That said, the sudden onslaught of an altercation was really not the time to be watching either, so he snapped himself out of it. He was a Noble of the Court after all, and that meant keeping peace between the boundaries... or well, preventing chaos from breaking out, but they were a little past that point. The large gash-turned-scar on his chest itched, his neck itched, and he felt a sudden bloom of guilt for his brazen accusations at Kuroda during the casting. Whatever, there'd be time to dwell later.
Careful Jame! Suddenly their mind link shifted more into a drift, the magic heavy and tangible around him as he pulled from Jamie and had Jamie pull likewise from him. For all the people and distractions there—gunshot included—Shiloh's focus was set now.
He dropped to the floor in a surprising motion of things, but anyone who knew his skill set could see where he was going with this. Palms flat on the ground, he made a strained pulling motion up into the air, the worn warehouse floor groaning under the force of... something. The force of magic seemed to exhaust Shiloh to some extent—or maybe the ground was too structurally sound still—for the roots that poked up (while impressive) were not to their full glory.
Still, they lashed out at the magical foe.

"It calls itself the hunter," Shun replied to Jamie, "Beyond that, I have no ******** clue, but it seems it was possessing my impostor."
The creature took another swipe at Shun as he came up behind it. He let out a low hiss before striking back. The hunter recoiled as it took the brunt of several attacks from the others. After Shiloh's plants lashed at it, the shadow's golden eyes flared in recognition.
"Back for more? I won't complain. Your fear was particularly sweet, though you ought to stand down," it stated. Its voice now reminiscent of the Spinel Lady's. Its form had shifted a bit as well. Instead of claws, it had several dark tendrils extending out from its main body, "You were taught better. You need more discipline."
These dark tendrils shot out towards Shiloh's body. Regardless of how hard it struck, it then shrieked out in Beaumont's voice, making sounds as though he was in great pain. This came just before one large tendril came sweeping across towards Jamie to bowl him over.

Jeremiah really thinks that their keeping s**t on the other side of the veil has been slacking lately. How the bloody ******** are things getting through? Something to investigate later when the Court was actually accessible again.
Also when this post is properly filled in.
There's a brief brush of his hand against Algie, more of they were close once more than him actually worried the other was injured. Never mind that there was bits of lightning crackling at the silvering brunette's fingertips. Jeremiah's own were cold, icy scales peeking out from under his sleeves and collar.
Hearing the Spinel Lady's voice again - hearing discipline - put him on edge more than he already was but it did not show on his face. Instead his focus was on dealing with the thing, the strange shadowy thing that had taken over the body of ... well. Whomever it had been. This was another thing that should not have gotten through. How, in fact, were things like this even coming through?
Something to look into when the magic of the new Charter was settled and powers were not on the fritz. A look went to Fox, making sure she was alright and giving her a slight nod, as he carefully flung coldfire at the tendrils that were trying to contain race towards Shiloh. Jeremiah's focus was on keeping the fire to the tendrils, not letting it go anywhere else and purely attacking the shadow Hunter.
"Getting a bit tired of it's habit of not using it's own voice," he said dryly.

Shiloh's eyes went wide.
He knew it wasn't real, but even with the death of the Spinel Lady, she had never really died. They always said you died in a multitude of ways; your physical death, and then when you ultimately fade from peoples memories. The Spinel Lady—for as long as Shiloh lived, and it was shaping to be a long life—would forever exist crawling in the back of his mind. Even his friendship with Melany was hard some days, because despite the innocence she had in her face he could always imagine that hawkish look, that predatory glare, those angles that were too perfect and skin that was wholly unblemished.
And it made him snap.
Throw the switch, pull the lever, something broke in Shiloh's eyes. There wasn't a calm focus anymore; that had left the second the Spinel Lady's voice rang out clearly in his ears. The tendrils struck true despite the cold fire of Jeremiah's magic. Shiloh honestly wasn't thinking about it—he didn't have time to think about the blood, the sudden impact of the tendrils breaking his skin, the absolutely gorgeous bloom of flowers that suddenly sprouted forward from his shoulder, his side, wherever he'd been hit—the cascade of petals that blew off of his gashes in place of blood, it was all hindsight. The entire warehouse shuddered, or maybe it was just the atmosphere that shuddered, but there was something new and remarkably tense.
Shiloh always smelled like rain. This was like a ******** OFF." His eyes looked unfocused, muddy, "******** OFF, ******** OFF, ******** OFF." The vines and roots and hostile plants ripped up from the ground with the sudden surge of his magic, "YOU'RE DEAD, YOU'RE DEAD, I KILLED YOU."
Had he the clarity to aim, he might have done more magic. As it was, he was almost more of a threat to himself and his allies than the Hunter.

"The.. hunter," Jamie mumbled. It was obvious he didn't know what to make of it. Did it have motives aside from ruining lives, from pitting people against each other? Was its goal to make a game of killing them? He looked around at everyone who'd gathered, faces he recognized more than not.
Except, well, even his wandering mind was interrupted by a cold chill down his spine. The feeling didn't belong to him, but it turned sharp and hostile the very next moment. Shiloh was the source and the Spinel Lady's voice was familiar, venomous, only because of the memories they'd shared in their headspace. With the drift as strong as it was now, their bond cemented, Jamie could feel everything.
"Shiloh!" he shouted, immediately darting toward his boyfriend. The cry that sounded so much like Shiloh startled him as the tendril swung his way. He tried to leap it. It didn't work.
Jamie hit the ground face first, his teeth splitting his own lip—his piercing thankfully spared, but no one needed to know he was that concerned about it. When he sat up, the drop of blood that should've crowned his lip was actually a bright red rose. The golden freckles on his face seemed more prominent than ever. "Wh-" he huffed, not quite able to speak properly.
It snapped him back to reality, at least.
Shiloh, it's okay! he tried to assure him through their mind link as he lashed out in his own retaliation, kicking the hunter where it (hopefully) hurt.

The Hunter turned towards Alexis as they came out to throw a screwdriver at it. The eyes seemed to flare with recognition once more.
"You have learned nothing in the last year, Alexis. You will never become the hunter you wish to be and will never be worth my time," it stated, using Alexis's voice. It didn't strike out at them, and instead opted to go after Jeremiah instead after getting blasted with a burst of cold fire.
"You can keep trying all you want, but you can't save everyone," it stated to him, using his voice once more, "So much more death will come."
Unlike with Alexis, it did send a tendril out to whip at the Chief of Police.
As it got hit with a barrage of plants, it recoiled away from Shiloh before turning its sights back onto it.
"I will never die," it said, using the Spinel Lady's voice once more. The hunter's shadowy tendrils raised up dangerously before lashing back at him, "I will always be here. In you."
"Oh shut up, already," hissed Shun as he charged in at the creature from behind. He had managed to get in one hit before getting knocked away.
Between the lightning, the plants, the physical attacks, and cold fire, its form was beginning to waver a bit.
