## Plot and Story

Set in the mysterious and mythical Auraliyaen Realm of the Reapearia family's archipelago. With the long awaited festival of Halloween just one night away a small cohort of the Death Reaper's Academy's N.O.T (Normal Outcome Targeted) class have been offered a special practical exam in the form of the yearly Halloween festival event of the Hallows Hunt. If they are able to prove their strength and abilities they have been told they will be moved into the academy's elusive E.A.T (Extra Accomplished Talented) class. They will be accompanied and supervised by Miss Cherie Gakia, a well known teacher who is well versed in Entrancement Soul Releases. In the last week, there have been rumors that a small squad from the E.A.T class are also going to the festival.

Having departed from the ferry that arrived on the island's far East the party took two taxis to the main city of Trea'king - with Miss Gakai having her reanimated gorilla companion on the roof of the vehicle. Shortly after arriving in the city the students headed for the Central Plaza to register for the Hallows Hunt. Early on they noticed that Neni had disappeared and continued onwards.

Confronted by the sea large crowds, Tsuki had barged forwards through until they were able to enter into the Cental Plaza. Looking around at the festival base's set up - Gunter and Nik had noticed a pair - with the male wearing a jersey jacket donning the DRA's emblem. Following, they met up with the blonde haired Enko who had already begun consuming a special dish served in a carved out pumpkin. Rhehael - the dark haired male student with the DRA jersey jested with the group to make sure they 'don't cross each other on the wrong paths'. Joining up with the rest of the party and heading to the registration tent they had found Neni who wandered in earlier - but was wearing a 'Spectator's' band instead of a 'Participant's' band. Shortly after registering some of the students had ordered some quick dinner with Shredder assisting one of the stall owners by fixing his potato machine.

With the start of the Hunt, the party rushed off to a car rental store in order to arrange their transport for the night. With Nik ordering they were met with a small setback - as there were no adults to sign off on the papers. A short call to Miss Cherie and the students set off in a red hummer. Deciding to head to the furthest Baron in order to be time effective they drove to the Purple Baroness' trial in the ??? Woods. On the way a group of Monsties attacked the vehicle as it drove through the streets of the outer city - with a large knife thrown and lodged in the back of the car.

Once arriving in the depths of the woods and speaking to the Purple Baroness and her chicken inspired hut they set forth to recover and egg from a creature known as the 'Baba Hen'. Discovering the nest Shredder made quick use of his robotic companion who successfully stole an egg from under the Baba Hen who was asleep in its nest. On its second attempt it accidentally woke the hen and was swiftly kicked by the creature, slamming against a tree.
