MLRTG P4- "The Source"

"The Source" is the fourth Part of "Miracula Luxia: Returnin' To Gun Manor". It was released on 17.10.2020.
== Plot ==
After fighting both a huge coal ghost and a gigantic spider, Jared and his allies finally make it to the third floor of Gun Manor and find the source of its problems.
All they have to do is to defeat all thirteen ghosts that haunt the Manor and leave this creepy place behind them forever.
It seems to be easy enough. Enter the room, defeat the ghosts, report to Ms. Gun and leave.
Or is it?
== Story ==
As the three heroes enter the room, they see the ghosts in question. The ghosts that they have to take out.
However, their appearance seems to be a bit... off. At first.
However, when the ghosts turn around and stare at them, Jared starts to doubt that they are just ordinary ghosts.
After staring at them for a few seconds, he realizes what they really are and gasps.
"They're banshees!"- He yells.
Aleks gasps as well.
"No way!"- He exclaims- "B-banshees?! Here?"
Florence raises her eyebrow. She clearly does not understand what her companions mean.
"What's a banshee?"- She asks Jared.
He raises his eyebrow.
"You haven't heard of the banshee- one of the most powerful spirits that you can ever come face to face with?"
Florence shakes her head.
"I'm a ghost hunter. I know a lot about ghosts, about what types of ghosts there are."- She responds- "But I've never heard of this banshee in my whole life."
Aleks sighs.
"It's understandable. Most people haven't met even a single Banshee in their entire lives."- He says- "They're powerful, magical creatures, kept alive by their constant hatred for every living being around them. They are usually reanimated when a person is slain near a place with persistent magical activity."
He sees a crystal next to one of the banshees.
"The crystal over there explains why they're here. It's a powerful magical force that must be taken care of after we destroy those shades."
The thirteen banshees stare of them at the same time. Suddenly, they start to shriek, attempting to scare the hunters away.
Their plan seems to work! Well, sort of.
Florence sees that those ghosts are way too hard for her to defeat and decides to ditch her friends. She runs away from the room, screaming.
"Coward!"- Jared yells at her.
Aleks stops him from running after her.
"Leave her alone."- He says- "We will deal with her later."
"For now, let's take care of the banshees."
Jared nods and starts to approach them. They continue to shriek, but their terrifying ability has no effect on him and his father.
The two of them draw their weapons and start to attack the banshees, taking out three of them in the process.
Although the banshees are powerful and terrifying when they are shrieking, they are nearly harmless when they are forced to fight. Thus, most of the banshees go down with ease.
However, the last three of them prove to be formidable foes. They swoop towards our heroes, trying to take away their warmth and harm them in the process.
Jared parries the first one's attack and manages to perform a strike himself before taking a step back. Meanwhile, his father fights two of the banshees at the same time, using two swords to strike them down.
However, one of them manages to take Aleks by surprise, scratching him in the process.
Jared comes to his father's aid and destroys the two banshees, but not before taking out the one that he was forced to fight.
Aleks falls to his knees, seemingly weakened by something.
When Jared helps him up, he sees blood on his chest. He quickly realizes that his brother has been scratched in the chest while fighting both banshees.
"Dad, you're wounded!"- He says to him- "You are... you are... "
Aleks shakes his head and smiles.
"Don't worry about me, son."- He says- "I'll be fine. I promise."
The two of them look at the banshees' remains and notice that they have defeated less enemies than they were intended to.
"Didn't Florence say that there are thirteen ghosts in this mansion?"
Aleks nods.
"Yes. Yes she did."- He responds- "This is very strange."
They go outside and reunite with Florence.
She lowers her head in shame.
"I'm so sorry for runnin' away, guys."- She says- "Those ghosts were just too scary for me."
Jared glares at her angrily and points at his father's chest.
"Because of your cowardice, my father was scratched by one of those banshees. How nice of you to run away when we needed you the most!"
Florence shakes her head.
"I was too scared. As a woman of science, I can zap ghosts with my gun and kill 'em on the spot."
"But those enemies?"- She continues- "Those were way outta my league. No way I could have killed even one of them without gettin' killed."
Jared sighs.
"Nevermind."- He says- "We defeated all of them."
"Although... "- He continues- "... I want to show you something."
He takes Florence to the room where he and his father fought the banshees and shows them the remains.
Florence gasps.
"But... Ms. Gun told me that there are thirteen ghosts in the house!"- She says- "Why are there only twelve here?"
Jared shrugs.
"I do not know, Florence."- He says- "I thought that you are the one who knows about the ghosts, not me."
Florence sighs.
"Yeah, I do. But... I was told that there are thirteen of them here!"
Jared looks around.
"I can still sense the presence of a spirit around us."- He says- "However, it seems to be a... friendlier presence. Not a malevolent one."
Florence nods.
"But... where could it be?"
That's when Aleks comes in. He seems to be in a hurry.
"Son!"- He says to Jared- "I sense the presence of a ghost past the door that leads to Mrs. Gun's room!"
Jared and Florence run towards Ms. Gun's room and inspect the door. Jared knocks on it.
"Mrs. Gun, are you in there?"- He says.
"Who is there?"- A voice, coming from behind the door, responds to him- "Are you the person I sent to take care of the job?"
Jared shrugs.
"She is with me, Mrs. Gun."- He says.
"Right here!"- Florence says.
"Good. Then take care of the problem. I will pay you afterwards."
Florence tries to leave, but Aleks stops her.
"Mrs. Gun."- He says, cautious not to reveal the grim truth immediately- "I am afraid that the last, thirteenth ghost... is behind this door."
