It's Friday the 13th. Maggie traced the GAL pistol and GSSE. We're heading there in an SUV that Maggie tricked out. It has a GSSE that can run for an hour, ultraviolet headlights that you need special goggles to see. Cassie is driving. I'm not really surprised. Oh, it also has a GAL cannon on the top that's VR controlled. It has special ghost-resistant armor. We're all armored up, the GALs are in the back, we each have a GSSE on a bandolier, and a GAL pistol in a holster. I'm writing this while wearing ultraviolet goggles. I'm going to record this. We're at the ghost place. Our parents think we're asleep. If I never write again, then at least it was fun while it lasted.

October 13, 2017
Maggie: We're here. Everyone grab a GAL. I can control the car cannons with my phone.
Henry: Do we want to do this? Is it worth it?
Nathan: Yes. This is worth it.
Cassie: Whatever you say.
Nathan: One important question: who's in charge?
Cassie: I nominate Nate? Everyone agree?
(Maggie and Charlie raise hands)
Nathan: Okay then. Stick together. They should be in the forest right?
Maggie: Yup. They're in that clearing, right over the ravine. The ravine connects to my house. That's our fallback point.
Nathan: Can I just say that no matter how this goes I'm glad that we're doing it together. Now lock and load!
(all walk for one minute)
Henry: Maggie, you picking up any ghosts?
Maggie: Yeah. There should be maybe fifty. Wait. That can't be... I think I know what they were doing with the GSSE and GAL pistol. They're building a generator.
Nathan: Why?
Cassie: I think they're trying to summon something. We can detect ghosts because of the spikes in energy. What if enough energy will create something more powerful?
Henry: Holy crap.
Nathan: Okay then. We move fast. Maggie, you go in and recover the GSSE and GAL pistol. Me and Henry will protect you. Cassie, you're sniper. Clear us a path.
Cassie: Got it.
Nathan: Then what else is there to do? Prepare to turn your GSSEs on. GALs at the ready!
(Maggie Henry and Nathan run and open fire)
GALS: Tew! Tew! Tew!
(ghosts return fire)
Pow! Pow!
(bullets glance off armor)
Maggie: Keep them away! I've almost got it!
Henry: Alright!
Voice: Oh, you are far too late.
Nathan: Who said that?
Maggie: It sounded like it came from around us.
(ghost knight dressed in bloodred armor appears)
Voice: I am Isaiah The Bloody! You have failed.
Nathan(speaking into helmet-com): Cassie: Shoot him!
Tew!
Isaiah: Not bad, for a human. It is Friday the 13th! There are few days where the spirit realm and the mortal one are closer! If your friend hadn't exorcised me you would be possessed, girl. But I was still close enough that I could be summoned.
Nathan: Focus fire!
Tew! Tew! Tew! Tew! Tew!
Isaiah: Those toys are nowhere near powerful enough to hurt me.
(Isiah summons a bloodred sword)
Maggie: Henry! Do it!
(Henry cracks knuckles. Gauntlets glow with lasers. Henry charges Isaiah and fights him in hand to hand combat)
Isaiah: You fight well for a mortal.
Henry: I'm better than you.
(Henry uppercuts Isaiah in the chin. Isaiah explodes into nothing. Other ghosts disappear)
Cassie: Fricking hell yes!
Nathan: Maggie you have some explaining to do tomorrow, but I'll save that for tomorrow. Nice job!
(end recording)
