Jack swiftly sat down and focused his mind, attempting to resist the change by sheer force of will. He did not anticipate success, but he intended to fight to the bitter end! But then the gorillas attacked and he was forced to do battle, even as he felt himself regressing towards apedom! He drew his sword and leapt at the nearest enemy.

A good traveler has no fixed plans and is not intent upon arriving. -Lao TzuVezon joyously began firing bolts of shadow from his hands at the rest of the heroes.
At that moment, that uncooperative asshole the Excecutioner vanished from sight, and he found himself back in the universe from whence he came! In this narrator's opinion, good riddance!

Rey simply stayed huddled at the back of the cell, keeping his eyes squeezed shut, trying not to think about anything that was happening.
Easing back into life one step at a time"Hey, Narrator! Screw you! You're the reason we're in this mess!" Samara yelled angrily, before reverting back to insanity.

"I'm the Avatar! You gotta deal with it!""Watch it!"
Spriggan shouted at Vezon, now on the ground while still resisting change.
Narumi was too busy with reading the new Amazing The Atom Comic that kids must buy right now! Buy it buy it buy it! to notice being turned into an ape. "Hm... interesting." Narumi said, now as a gray hairy ape.
"Sorry Spriggan, but the path of shadows is surprisingly cathartic. Plus I've just overcome the impulse to pointlessly rhyme, so my mood is better than ever."
BACK IN THE COMMON ROOM!
It was mostly quiet back in the common room, with it now having been changed into a giant TV-Room/Den style of place, with lots of squishy pillows, a big honking TV, a giant sofa set, and plenty of complimentary popcorn.
Subaru sat on one of the squishy pillows, with a big tub of popcorn in her lap and a soft drink container in her left hand.
“Wow…this challenge is…just…weird.”
Seconds later, a small popping sound happened echoed through the common room. Blink suddenly appeared, tossed out of a portal, somersaulted backwards, and lay there blinking and confused.
In her arms were several expensive-looking items.
"Hey... what just happened?" she asked. She was unaware that she'd just been booted out of the challenge for what else but stealing.
"Oh, dear. The toad, the monkey, and the dog have all screwed up."Mason woke up in the Common Room.
They do have medals for almost, and they're called silver!“Blink!” Subaru said, putting aside her tub of popcorn as she watched the teleporting thief drop into the room.
“Weren’t you just in the Chal-” Then Subaru saw the armful of items that Blink had.
A rather tired expression came over Subaru,
“…you were stealing weren’t you…”
"Well, I am a master thief!" Blink declared, grinning as she stood up. Seconds after she said that, the items she'd taken from the challenge vanished from her arms. Her eyes widened briefly.
"Hey! Wait!" she said, looking around franticly. "That's no fair!"
"Oh, dear. The toad, the monkey, and the dog have all screwed up."Suddenly, the hull of the ship was breached by a bright red fireball - *BOOM* - and soon said fireball streaked through the room - *THWOOSH* - tackling gorillas off their pterodactyl steeds - *WHACK WHAM BAM THACK BACK BOOF PAM PAFF BLONK THONK SQUANKY*
A ball of red acid splattered all over evil lead gorilla's transformation gun - *SPLAT* - making it useless and preventing the Silver Sentinels from continuing there devolution - *SIZZLE CRACKLE POP SNAP*
When the flames died, it revealed......DEX-STAR, THE KITTEN OF RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE!!!
"Typical!" the cat spat out. "I sleep through all the good action, and then I have to be the one to bail your sorry hineys!"
DAMMIT MARK, STOP HOTTING HELPY!!Subaru sighed,
“You’re a thief…I figured you would kinda know what is fair and what is not. And losing all your stolen gains I think is kinda…deserving.”
Then Subaru held up a giant tub of popcorn,
“Want some?”
Blink tilted her head, confused. She had seen never seen popcorn before.
"What is that stuff?" she asked.

"Oh, dear. The toad, the monkey, and the dog have all screwed up.""Oh yeah."
Spriggan had next seen a kitty cat pounce on the gorillas, but he kinda wanted to cheer Dex on.
At this point, nobody noticed Samara slowly get up from the floor. She pulled out her gravity hammer and twirled it a few times, looking at the apes with a expression that would make Jack The Ripper run for his mother. "That's it. Now..." she seethed, her voice turning eerily inhuman. "I'M MAD."
Approximentally 3 seconds later, she attacked.

"I'm the Avatar! You gotta deal with it!"Spriggan then murmured.
"Just the thing we need. A psycho eight-year old girl and a crazed Vezon shooting at us."
Natsu and Gajeel shot flames and shrapnel from their respective mouths at the gorillas.
Always be ready to do the unusual and unexpected.That did it; The Living Hive could accept and otherwise deal with a fairly large amount of the ludicrous events which he had encountered during his Nomad-induced captivity thus far, but being captured by a band of bizarre and unconvincing creatures, only to be transferred into the furry hands of another band of gaolers as the latter betrayed the former, and then be forcibly altered into a different species all together, was simply too flapping much.
And he was not going to take it any more. The alien brushed his chin against his neck to yank the bandana down, opened his mouth wide, and—as this was his natural state of being rather than any sort of superpower, and thus would be unaffected by the power nullification field—disgorged a column of angry, buzzing winged insects which immediately took flight. Some of them alighted on the ropes which ensnared him and began to chew and pick at it with their mandibles, while the rest of them swarmed towards the nearest pterodactyl and began to buzz and poke at its eyes with their (nonlethal, but still painful) stingers.
"I HAVE HAD ENOUGH!" he boomed with uncharacteristic vehemence. "FACE THE STINGING WRATH OF THE LIVING HIVE, DEGENERATE PRIMATES!!!"

The Danse Macabre CodexRey continued to cringe in the corner, keeping his eyes closed tightly.
Easing back into life one step at a timeVezon was having the time of his life playing the evil guy, and suddenly noticed the Living Hive's attack. Calling together his shadows into one particular spot, he created a huge circular saw made entirely of shadow, and held it up in front of the bestinged pterodactyl. If it worked, any insects that flew up would be immediately sliced. But if the saw really was made of shadow, ergo, not a physical object, it would have no effect.
Galen ingonred the time-travel. He went on a walk, where a random car hit him. He died and woke up in the Common Room. "That was weird", he said. He then noticed Blink and Subaru. "Hello there!" He said.

"Your ploy will not fool our superior gorilla brains, Super-DUMMY!
-at that moment, despite the fact that they were indoors, gorillas riding pterodactyls, with harpoon guns appeared, and opened fire on our heroes-
