His violet eyes scanned the room for threats. When he was certain there were none he reached for his radio to send a message.
"Alright, all clear. Move up." He transmitted to the others.
"Roger that." Sky replied as he and the rest of the team entered the room.
"Timmy you help Riven. Brandon I want you to secure the perimeter and..." continued Sky.
"It was my first official mission with the squad since returning to Red Fountain. We had been called in to investigate some paranormal activity around an old abandoned warehouse in the Gardenia Harbour area...something about a little girl ghost. I guess they figured five specialists could handle one little girl. I only hope they were right..."
"Dude, could you just shut up already?" Brandon yelled.
"Brandon! Hey Brandon! Are you listening?" yelled Sky.
"Sorry Sky. Helia's doing that narrating thing again. It keeps distracting me." Brandon explained.
Sky turned his attention to the new squad member. "Helia, I thought I told you to stop talking to yourself."
"Oh...sorry. It just helps calm me down. I'm nervous." he replied
"Well, chew some gum or something. Your running commentary is freaking me out." said Riven.
"...and please don't talk about us in the past tense. That's rude." added Timmy.
"Ok, sorry everyone. It's the first time I've done this kind of thing in over a year. I know it might be hard to believe, but I've never actually seen a ghost before."
"Well neither have we, but you don't hear us making monologues about how dark the hallway is or how there always feels like there's something's right behind us." Sky replied.
"Ok, now your freaking me out. Stop it you guys!" Riven threatened.
"Wait, you guys have never seen a ghost? I thought you dealt with this kind of thing before. Isn't that why they sent us here and not someone else?" wondered Helia, shocked from what he had just learned.
"Well sure we've seen some freaky stuff on missions, but we've never actually found anything conclusive." Timmy replied.
"Yea, I don't even believe in ghosts." said Brandon.
"Me neither." added Riven, supporting his squad mate.
"So what are we doing here then?" pondered the long haired specialist.
"We're getting some time off campus...and some bonus points for heroism." Riven replied with a smile on his face.
"Exactly." continued Timmy. "The plan is to just show up, look around, say we saw a bunch of weird stuff and that we chased the ghost away, case closed, dinner time." Timmy explained.
"Yea, but I still have to write a report." Sky grunted.
"What! But then we'd all be a bunch of phoney. It's just ridiculous." Helia interjected.
"I'll tell you what's ridiculous." Riven said pulling out his weapon. "They give us these swords that can almost cut through steel, and they expect us to use them to fight spirits? I mean what's this thing gonna do? I might as well try to stab it with a dinner foraaah..."
"What the heck is a dinner foraaah? Riven? Hey, where's Riven?" asked Sky.
"He was standing right there a minute ago." Answered Helia, gesturing toward Riven's previous position.
"I'm not asking where he was a minute ago; I'm asking where he is now." Sky replied.
Suddenly a series of loud crunching noises came from the adjacent room, and Riven's voice could be heard.
"Oh no! NOOO! ARRHHH! ARRHHH! NOOOHOHO!" screamed Riven. "Somebody help me! DAHHH!"
"Oh man." Sky sighed "I am definitely not looking forward to writing that report." he announced, nodding his head in disapproval.
