Episode 1- Ghost of the Menace
It was a bright and sunny day at the Old Abandoned Old Abandoned Amusement Park, a heavily cloaked figure claws out of the ground muttering "Finally free."
Just then, another cloaked figure claws his way out along with an army-sized group of figures. The mere appearance of the figures instantly made the previously sunny late summer day into a mostly cloudy forecast.
"FREEEEEEE! AT LASSSSTTTTT!" screamed the other cloaked figure as he lets out a maniacal evil laugh which spreads across the entire Tri-State area.
Meanwhile inside the Fireside Girls lodge, two members of Troop 46231 are working on getting their "Engine Repair Patch".
One of the members named Adyson Sweetwater, the tall member with dark brown hair and hairband who was working underneath the engine, heard the laughter and said "Did you hear something?"
Gretchen, the troop member with short auburn hair and glasses was working elbows deep in the fully blown V8 engine and responded "You're supposed to be paying attention, Adyson... You need this patch to advance."
Just then, someone outside knocked on the door. Confused by the sudden intrusion, Gretchen asked "Uh... come in?" as the elderly founder of Fireside Girls, Eliza M. Feyersied walked in the lodge.
"Mrs. Feyersied!?" Adyson asked.
"What brings you here, Ma'am?" Gretchen asked as she wipes her hands on a rag.
Isabella and the rest of the troop show up from the back of the lodge.
"Isabella? May I see you and your troop please?" Eliza asked the long black haired troop leader to which she responded "Yes ma'am."
Moments later, the troop entered Mrs. Feyersied's office, which is located inside the lodge.
"Might we ask why you brought us here?" Isabella asked her superior.
"Girls, the time has come." Her superior responded as Gretchen glances between her leader and the founder.
Visibly confused Isabella asked curiously "What do you mean by that, ma'am?"
Eliza then told Isabella and her troop mates in a dramatic tone "I sense a great and powerful evil has awakened once more."
Adyson then tells her group founder "Uhh…. we're hardly skilled to take down 'evil', ma'am."
Eliza then pulls out a box from one of her desk drawers.
"Which is why you girls will need what's in here that will help you all out." Eliza replied as she opens the box to reveal seven bracelets with each bracelet having their own colored gems engraved on the bracelets.
"What are those?" Adyson asked to which Gretchen replied "Obviously, they are important."
Adyson gives her an unamused glare.
"These are Folkvangr bracelets." Mrs. Feyersied answered as she hands each girl a bracelet of their own.
"Folkvangr?" Ginger asked in confusion as she is given a bracelet with a dark purple gem engraved on it.
"What are these supposed to do?" Gretchen asked as she pokes at her emerald green gem bracelet.
"Huh...fancy...wonder what this does. " Adyson curiously said as she presses her finger onto the cyan gem which shoots out a huge light.
A magical girl transformation sequence which takes up about thirty seconds of screen time and dramatic music as she is transforming into a magical girl. The transformation ends revealing her outfit to be a cyan variant of a Valkyrie outfit with gauntlets that emit electricity. Adyson looks at her outfit.
"What in the world?" she shouted.
"These bracelets will give you the ability to combat any monster in your way." explained Eliza. "Now go out and train with you new powers."
The girls walked out of Mrs. Feyersied's office with Adyson visibly excited about the newfound powers bestowed upon the girls. Gretchen was seen reading into the Fireside Girls Handbook.
"Strange. I don't remember this section being in this year's edition." Said the short auburn haired girl.
The particular section in the Handbook she was referring to reads "Magical Girl Warrior Patch". One page of it details common phrases and sayings translated from "monster tongue" to English. Another page describes the weapons and/or abilities that each gem in their bracelet possesses and another page detailing "Magical Girl Do's and Don'ts"
"Okay girls, let's transform." Isabella told her troop mates except for Adyson.
The rest of the girls pressed their fingers into the gem which instantly transformed them into magical girls.
Once it was over, Isabella tells Adyson "Oh…and Adyson, try not to get carried away."
Adyson replied to her with "No problem, chief. Besides, what's the worst that can…" sparks then flew mid-sentence and accidentally electrocutes everyone in the lodge.
"That could happen." Ginger stated sarcastically.
The girls began training with their new powers brought to them. Milly, sporting a red dress equipped with dual-wielding rapiers that shoots red ribbons and ends up tying up Holly, in a dark-yellow outfit, who was equipped with a dark-yellow khopesh like sword that can fire spikes from her blade.
"Sorry!" said Milly as Holly was unamused by Milly's actions.
Gretchen, who was sporting a green outfit and a matching beret had been equipped with a bow that generates energy arrows, accidently shoot Adyson in the rear with said arrows.
Adyson retaliates by shouting "Aye, watch where you're shooting!"
Gretchen apologetically responds "I lack the coordination to utilize a bow."
Mrs. Feyersied, worried about the conditions of the girls, steps out to where the girls are training. While the girls have managed to morph to their magical girl form, they are having a hard time with their weapons as Katie, in a bright orange outfit identical to Adyson's as far as design is concerned could barely muster the energy to carry her hammer from the ground. Ginger, who was in a purple uniform, twirls her spear around until her grip slipped and it landed at the wall.
Eliza steps back into her office and muttered fearfully "Things have just gotten worse."
She then sat down on her chair where her desk is and pulled out a CD player and headphones to play a smooth jazz song called "Swan Song" by "Benny V".
"How do you work these things again?" asked Adyson as she accidently zaps Katie.
Exhausted by what little progress the girls made, Isabella, in an outfit similar to that of Gretchen's outfit only in pink, sighs in disappointment and tells the girls "Let's stop for a moment."
Isabella picked up her Handbook that showed "Magical Girl Do's and Don'ts" to which it said "Do Fight monsters, collect patches and crystals, keep identities a secret, work together and stand cute, small and strong". It also reads "Don't turn against each other, don't reveal your secrets identities, don't get poisoned and/or get killed by monsters and DO NOT make a deal with Myurey under ANY circumstances."
"Who the heck is Myurey?" Isabella asked Milly to which she merely shrugged her shoulders.
Suddenly, a monster went through the lodge walls and cried out "SHAMABOOGY!" at the girls.
The monster was about twice as tall as the girls and had the appearance of a skeleton missing its jaw and looked like it was covered in swamp moss from the neck down. The monster attacked Katie which knocked her back a few inches from where she was. She got up covering part of her face with her hand.
"What is that thing?!" asked Milly as she launches a large strand of ribbon from the tip of her rapier.
The ribbon ends up tying up the monster, but almost instantly broke free from the trap.
"Crud." uttered Milly as she realized the reliability of her weapon in this scenario.
Adyson lights up her gauntlets and exclaims "How about this?" at the monster.
"TAKE THIS! shouted Adyson as she rushes towards the monster and punches the monster, which knocks the monster outside of the lodge and into the back of the lodge which killed it instantly.
"Nice job Adyson." said Isabella.
"So what do we do with it?" asked Ginger as she kicked the remains of the monster.
"Burn it?" replied Katie out of curiosity.
"No, that would bring attention to the activities that Mrs. Feyersied has assigned us." Gretchen responded to Katie's response in post haste.
The monster then dissolves into an unusual-looking patch. Katie blinks in reaction to the monster dissolving as Gretchen picks up the patch off the ground
"Huh…Curious. Never seen an accomplishment patch like this before." said Katie out of curiosity.
Katie looks at the patch over Gretchen's shoulder and asked her "Swamp Fishing Patch?" to which Gretchen merely nodded her head in response
"Let's go, girls..." She then mutters …"before someone else gets zapped."
"I heard that" said Adyson.
