"Revelation In Flames" is the fifth and penultimate Part of "Miracula Luxia: Returnin' To Gun Manor". It was released on 18.10.2020.
== Plot ==
Jared and his allies learn the grim truth about the thirteenth ghost, hidden in Mrs. Gun's room and realize that the one who killed the thirteen ghosts in life is still nearby.
The questions are: who is the killer? What are their intentions? And why did they get rid of those thirteen souls violently, intentionally or not?
== Story ==
"What do you mean, child?"- The voice says- "How is the thirteenth ghost... in here?"
Jared shakes his head.
"There is no time to waste, Mrs. Gun!"- He says- "Please open the door. We must speak with you about this subject!"
Mrs. Gun realizes that she cannot send Jared away. She opens the door.
When Jared and his companions see her, they gasp. Mrs. Gun herself is confused.
"What is it?"- She says- "Is something... wrong?"
Jared shakes his head, unable to comprehend what he is seeing.
"Mrs. Gun, I fear that there is no easy way to reveal the real problem to you."- He says- "But the situation is very, very bad."
Mrs. Gun raises her eyebrow.
"I don't understand, child. What do you want to tell me?"
Florence decides to step up and speak for Jared.
"I'm afraid that you are the thirteenth ghost, Mrs. Gun."- She says, barely believing what she is saying. And seeing.
Mrs. Gun looks at both of her hands. They are insubstantial.
She sighs.
"Oh, right."- She says- "I almost forgot that I was one of the first that he killed."
Florence loads her gun. Aleks draws his sword.
"We are very sorry, Mrs. Gun, but this must happen."- Aleks says- "We promise that it won't hurt."
Just as Florence is about to shoot her, Jared steps in her way and gets zapped instead.
However, the blast does not seem to hurt him at all.
"Stop this!"- He says- "Can't you see how much pain she is going through, even as a ghost? Killing her violently will not solve anything!"
Aleks and Florence stand still as Jared talks to Mrs. Gun.
"You mentioned something about someone who has killed you before."- He says- "Do you have any memory of who they are? Or were?"
Mrs. Gun shakes her head.
"It's all just vague memories, but I clearly remember that he was my right hand man. One of my most trusted servants and friends. Such a kind person. However... "
"However?"- Jared repeats.
"However, one day, he decided to go on a killing spree and take down whoever he could. He grabbed one of the enchanted guns that we had on display and started killing all of our guests, one after the other. By the time the rest of my employees called me downstairs, he had killed eight of them. When he saw me, he approached me, intending to kill me on the spot. I tried to talk some sense into him, but he just shot me and turned away to kill more guests and employees."
Jared nods.
"How many people did he kill?"
Mrs. Gun shrugs.
"I'm not exactly sure. But when I turned into a spirit, I sensed the presence of twelve more spirits. Malevolent ones, intending to find the one who killed them and have their revenge on him."
Jared nods again.
"Did the man who killed you have any intentions to rob you? Take something that you have for himself? Or did he just shoot you, because you were in his way?"
Mrs. Gun smiles.
"A good question, my boy. He always wanted to have the whole Manor for himself, but I told him that he can only have it after I die. So, I suppose that he caused all this commotion just to make me go downstairs and kill me."
She sighs.
"Here, let me show you what happened."
She approaches Jared and touches him on the forehead.
Jared closes his eyes and finds himself on the first floor of Gun Manor. He can see many dead people on the ground. Many living ones are fleeing.
And there is one mad person among them, the same person that Mrs. Gun warned him about.
As he continues shooting at the guests and employees of the Manor, he sees an elderly woman go down the stairs, escorted by two of the employees.
She approaches the killer and glares at him.
"Mr. Bullet, stop this madness right this instant!"- She yells at him- "Do you know how much trouble you are in, young man?!"
The man shrugs.
"Nice try, Mrs. Gun."- He responds- "But you ain't gonna fool me!"
Jared realizes that he is now aiming his gun at her. He runs forward, in a futile attempt to stop him from killing her by grabbing his gun.
"Stop right there!"- He yells at him.
He stands in his way as the shot fires. However, the bullet goes right through him, hitting Mrs. Gun in the chest while leaving the boy unharmed.
Jared tries to grab Mrs. Gun before she falls down, but she quickly disappears. Seeing that, he angrily draws his sword and tries to attack Mr. Bullet.
However, before he can actually stab him, he loses consciousness and returns to the real world.
He falls to his knees.
"What did you see?"- Florence asks him- "Is Mrs. Gun telling the truth?"
Jared nods.
"I saw it all. I saw how the one responsible for this madness. I saw how he killed those poor people, those twelve, unfortunate souls."
"And I saw how he murdered Mrs. Gun in cold blood, without thinking twice about it."
Aleks and Florence gasp.
"But why? Why would he be so foolish? Foolish enough to kill the one that employed him?"
Jared sighs.
"I understand why he did that, Mrs. Gun. And I will explain it all, with your permission."
Mrs. Gun smiles.
"Go on, my child."- She says- "Tell them the truth!"
Jared turns to Aleks and Florence and begins to speak:
"From what I heard, the suspect's name is Mr. Bullet. He was the right hand man of Mrs. Gun and one of her most trusted allies. Although he seemed to be loyal at first, he was actually thinking of a way to take her down and take Gun Manor for himself. And only himself. Greed was clouding his judgement and making him do things that are not morally right."
"In the process, he realized that there is only one way to actually do that- cause commotion on one of the lower floors and force Mrs. Gun to come out of her hiding spot and kill her. The party with the twelve guests was the perfect first part of his plan."
"He took one of Mrs. Gun's most powerful guns and started shooting at the guests, killing them in the process and scaring most of the employees away. And when Mrs. Gun arrived to stop him... he killed her as well."
Aleks and Florence gasp.
"No way! So... they weren't killed by natural causes?"
Jared nods.
"And that's not all."- He continues- "When he reported all the deaths to the police, he lied to them and said that the killer is already dead, leading them away from the real suspect."
"And when I woke up, I felt a very hostile presence coming from nearby. However, it is not of a ghost. It is of a living, human person. Someone who is alive, just like us. They are not far away."
Florence nods.
"I see what you mean. The convict is still in this house."- She says- "However, that still doesn't explain why Mrs. Gun and all twelve of the guests reanimated. And why she is friendly to us, but they were not."
Mrs. Gun sighs.
"I think that it is better if I explain this myself."- She says and motions for Jared to back away.
When he does so, she approaches Florence and begins to speak:
"I am not sure why I'm not hostile like them, but I have a guess. Unlike me, the twelve guests have never used a gun in their lives. Or even been close to one, in this context. Normally, it does not matter how you kill someone. They stay dead for good, not coming back."
"However, one of my guns was more... dangerous. I hired a mage to enchant it for me, so I could use it to defend the Mayor from invaders. And it seems like our dear friend, Chet Bullet, found it before I could take it away."
"And when he killed the twelve guests, they all reanimated into Banshees, intending to have their revenge upon the one who killed them so violently. As for myself, I still feel rage within me. Feelings that are trying to get out of my body, take control of my actions and force me to do horrible things. The magic from the gun is affecting me as well as it affected those poor souls. However, I seem to be resisting it, to some extent. Although I feel my rage rising, it subsides after a few moments, leaving me calm and confused."
Florence nods.
"So, where is this Chet Gun that you speak of? Is he still here, among us? Or is he a ghost as well?"
Mrs. Gun nods.
"He is still a human. Of that, I am completely sure. And I know where he's hidden, that dirty rat."
She gives a long stick to Jared.
"In my husband's bedroom, you will see a trapdoor."- She says- "It's located right above you. Open it with this stick and take care of this fool."
She smiles.
"I'm counting on you, Jared Kaos. I know that you can do it."
Jared raises his eyebrow.
"Wait a minute."- He says- "How do you know my name?"
Mrs. Gun smiles again.
"I guess that I hear... rumors. Of the young, brave and smart hero who is helping Florence out with his father. Who came here out of sympathy for the people living within, with the intention to rid us of this problem."
"And I know that you can succeed. Good luck, young man."
Jared and his allies bid farewell to Mrs. Gun.
"What a bunch of nice people."- She mutters.
She feels that her rage was not rising while she was talking to them.
"Maybe it only happens when I talk to someone I don't like."- She says to herself- "That makes more sense than what I first thought about it... "
Meanwhile, Jared, Aleks and Florence go back to Mr. Gun's bedroom and look up. 
Sure enough there is a trapdoor right above them.
Jared uses the stick to open it. When he does, a ladder falls down, enabling them to go up to whatever is up there.
As his companions stare at the trapdoor, Jared listens for anything that will betray Chet Bullet's location. Sure enough, he soon hears the man's snoring.
And it is coming from up there.
"Well, everyone."- He turns to his father and Florence- "It seems like Mr. Bullet is up there, blissfully unaware that we have just discovered his location. We have the moment of surprise here."
He draws his bow.
"Are you ready to take this menace down, once and for all?"
Aleks and Florence nod and draw their respective weapons as well.
"We're ready!"- Aleks says.
"Bring it on, evil one!"- Florence adds.
Jared nods and smiles.
"Then let us show this man the maginitude of his mistake and punish him for all the wrongs that he has done!"- He says and climbs the ladder, his companions standing right behind him, ready to help him up there.
