San Francisco, California (One Week Later)

Aaron- Helping Jay set up nerve. "Where is Kit?"

Jay- Sitting at the desk, gazing over the screens as I double check the camera feed. "Dakota, Chelsea and Tanner are currently in Texas filming for their own show."

Aaron- (Nods) "Cool and what does Zak think about it?"

Jay- (Hums Softly) "That it's good for the kids to be branching out and doing their own thing."

Aaron- I go back to my work checking all the gear. (Mumbles) "Zak sure has changed."

Billy- Printing out the last of the information needed as I place it into the file. "Yes he has."

Zak- Having heard the tail end of the conversation as I walk into nerve center. "He has what?"

Aaron- All of us practically jump out of our skin. "Jay...Jay got this new book and was talking about some ritual in it."

Jay- (Glares Heatedly)

Billy- (Nods Agreeingly)

Zak- (Frowns) "I wasn't aware you had gotten a new ritual book." I was a bit put out, by the fact I was the last to know when I was normally the first especially cause the Warlock was currently residing in the same house as myself.

Billy- Zak didn't give off that he was pissed, hurt yes, but not pissed. "I have the information here, for the location." I hand him the file, hoping to change the subject.

Zak- Taking the file, I glance it over and make a gesture to the door. "Let's film the intro, while we still have daylight.

(Ten Minutes Later)

Aaron- Giving Zak his cue.

Zak- Gesturing around the ominous and desolate flight deck. "Tonight ladies and gentlemen, we are locked down on the USS Hornet. This World War ll era aircraft carrier was completed in late 1943, the ship was assigned to the Fast Carrier Task Force in the Pacific Ocean which was the navy's primary offensive force during the Pacific War. In early 1944, she participated in attacks on Japanese installations in New Guinea, Palau and Truk among others. Hornet then took part in the Mariana and Palau Islands campaign and most of the subsidiary operations, most notably the Battle of the Philippine Sea in June that was nicknamed the "Great Marianas Turkey Shoot" for the disproportionate losses inflicted upon the Japanese. The ship then participated in the Philippines Campaign in late 1944 as well as the Volcano and Ryukyu Islands campaign in the first half of 1945. She was badly damaged by a typhoon in June and had to return to the United States for repairs. After the war she took part in Operation Magic Carpet, returning troops to the U.S. and was then placed on reserve in 1946. Hornet was reactivated during the Korean War of 1950–1953, but spent the rest of the war being modernized to allow her to operate jet-propelled aircraft. The ship was modernized again in the late 1950s for service as an anti-submarine carrier. She played a minor role in the Vietnam War during the 1960s and in the Apollo program, recovering the Apollo 11 and Apollo 12 astronauts as they returned from the Moon. Hornet was decommissioned in 1970. She was eventually designated as both a National Historic Landmark and a California Historical Landmark, she opened to the public as the USS Hornet Museum in Alameda, California in 1998." Flipping through the file. "Eyewitnesses have reported seeing full-bodied apparitions, hearing disembodied voices and seeing first hand mysterious bloodstains appear and disappear. Witnesses have also been roughly pushed and even had their clothes harshly pulled." Closing the file as I walk towards the edge of the flight deck, gazing off into the setting sun. "We have until dawn, boys. Let's get to business and find the cause of these lost souls unrest." Turning sharply, I disappear out of sight.

Aaron- I finish recording and turn to face my brothers. "That wasn't creepy."

Billy- (Chuckles) "Creepy is Zak's middle name."

Jay- (Smiles) Grabbing our gear, we head off in the direction said Vampire had disappeared in.

Four Hours Later

3rd Person P.O.V- It was all going like clockwork for the Crew as they had captured some class-a evidence such as; doors slamming, disembodied foot steps, chains rattling, their equipment going haywire, catching shadows and orbs on film and getting a blood stained handprint on camera.

Aaron- Leaning against the desk where Jay sits as we stare at the camera feed. "Should Zak be doing that?"

Jay- Aaron gestures to the camera on Zak in the boiler room. "Shit, no. He should know better than to antagonize these spirits." Getting up quickly, I grab my walkie and handheld camera. "Billy, you and Aaron keep an eye on things from here." I rush out the door and make my way through the maze like halls as quickly and safely as possible. (Mutters) "God, Dammit Zak."

3rd Person P.O.V- Suddenly a loud siren started blaring as red lights flashed in warning, the permanently docked ship suddenly jolted side to side as an unseen force threw the crew around like rag dolls.

Billy- The only warning Aaron and I got was the loud siren and flashing lights, before the both of us and all our equipment were thrown around the room. (Yells)

Aaron- (Shrieks Femininely)

(Thirty-Minutes Later)

Billy- (Groans Pitifully) Pushing our equipment cases to the side, I slowly sit up.

Aaron- Very slowly crawling out from beneath the toppled desk and book shelf as I get to my knees. "What just happened?"

Billy- Rubbing at my aching head. "I don't know."

Aaron- Legitimately panicking. "We lost contact with both Jay and Zak, we need to do something."

Billy- Seeing Aaron panic, I knew I had to keep my cool. "We can't help them, not in the state we are. Plus we are trapped." Pulling out my phone, I dial our studio members and give them the emergency code.

Jay- It took me a bit longer to get to the boiler room as I was literally thrown down multiple flights of stairs. Finally getting down to the boiler room, I literally kick open the door. "ZAK!" Rushing in I find my brother across the room hanging, wrapped up in chains with mechanical tools sticking out of him at odd and dangerous angles. "I got you, keep your eyes on me." Pained crimson orbs meet my own as I quickly pull the chains from his throat. "The others are getting help." I'm not sure who I was trying to convince, him or myself. "Stay with me Zachary Alexander Bagans, you've got an eternity to live...I'm not letting you die tonight." Pressing my fingers to his temples, I take his pain and ease him into a dreamless sleep.
