AN: Sorry for this Chapter being relatively short compared to the others. Caught up in other projects.
Chapter 3: The Holy Spirit
"...And in the Name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen."
"Pfft, lame."
Marco, Janna, and Star were all in Star's tour RV. Marco and Star were sitting at the table as Janna was on the phone lying on her couch swinging her legs in the air. On the table, Marco's bible and newly-acquired crucifix rumbled with the car's turbulence.
"Come on Star, what's wrong with that prayer?"
"Like I said, it's la~ame! Sounds like every other prayer, like you're a priest."
"Hey, I am a priest!" Marco threw his hands up then crossed them. "Think you can do better? Go ahead."
Star smiled. "Ohohoh, I've been working on a new mass prayer! Give me your hand."
"I almost forgot you were a protestant."
"Janna, get over here! We're praying to-"
"Have this exorcism go smooth?"
Marco jumped. "Woah! When'd you get here-"
"Smoother than an unripe banana, Janna. Give us your hands!"
They all joined hands. Star's grip was the strongest, Marco had to admit her faith seemed the strongest out of all of them.
"Alrighty, just close your eyes and empty your mind. All zenny and stuff."
Of course her theology was horrible. Zen!? That's almost universal*sm, which was basically atheism and way worse than Protestantism. But hey, since she forgave him for… stuff… maybe he could try teaching her a thing or two after all this was over-
"LAWD…" Marco and Janna's eyes shot open. "LAWWWWD HAVE MERCY…"
"Lord give me strength…"
"Good idea! LAWD GIVE US STRENGTH!" Star craned her head up, and her whole body started to shake.
"Ok, even I gotta admit, this is weird." Janna whispered.
"In the name… of JEEEEZUS! Give us the strength to RE~MOOOOOVE SATAN FROM… FROM… who are we exercising again?"
"Starfan. And it's exorcizing."
"Thanks! Anyway," She took in a deep breath, before getting cut off.
"Hey, hey! I think… uh… Janna would like to say a few words!" Marco immediately broke the joined hands.
"Oh. Sure, Janna can lead it!"
Janna smirked. "Any of you got a sharpie?"
Marco raised an eyebrow. "You don't need a sharpie to-"
"Here you go!" Star gave her a cyan sharpie from her Star-shaped purse. Janna looked at Marco for his reaction.
"...You better not do anything heretical."
"Oh Marco Marco Marco, When will you learn?" Janna swept everything off the table. As Marco dove to take them back, Janna swiftly drew a series of esoteric symbols in a circular pattern, speaking under her breath as the symbols started to glow.
"Janna!" Marco grabbed her by the shoulders, trying to pull her away as her hair started to float.
"Uh, Janna? I think I missed this day of bible study..." Star slowly backed up as the glow intensified.
"Et in Saecula, saeculorum, A-" BOOM. A dark purple light engulfed all of them, muting screams and the rumble of the RV.
Finally, when they all blinked back to sight, they all found themselves lying on the ground and the RV stopped. Marco immediately shot up.
"Janna, what the heck was that!?"
Janna stuck her head up, dirtied in soot. "Amen."
