Shelby flipped through her pages. Sure enough, some entries made NO sense.

Max blew up another building. Again. I had to RESET so it would go back together while Ross and Max were practicing with their powers. I really think Max needs to go to Anger Management...
"I agree. Why did Max blow up a building? How? What is a RESET?"
Shelby said. Cory nodded.
"I think that should be our goal. On this trip, we're going to figure out what a RESET is. Jess, you in?"
Cory asked. Jess nodded.
"Of course! I'm always down for adventure."
She said. Shelby nodded, and turned to Adam.
"Hey Adam. Do you, Barney and Red wanna help us?"
She asked. Adam scoffed.
"Why wouldn't we! These trips get really boring without something to do. Even if it's a wild goose chase, I think we could find something out about a RESET!"
Adam said happily. Barney nodded, while Red was fast asleep. Jess pulled out her phone.
"I looked up some rumors about Mt. Ebbot... did you know that anyone who climbs up the mountain are never seen again?"
She asked. Cory nodded.
"I've heard that too."
He said. Their conversation went on while Shelby went through the pages of the journal. She wanted to see the last page, and what happened then.

Someone came to the underground. They came to take over our universe. Adam and Max died while fighting him, and Ross lost it. We managed to get them out, however, in order to SAVE everything, Red and I had to fuse in order to make a True RESET and fix everything. Cory didn't like that idea. OH! Also Cory took his mask off! He looked amazing without it. But then everything restarted... I hope I remeb-
The page was then cut off as the word slid off the page.
"Remeb... remember what?"
Shelby muttered. Cory peeked over her shoulder.
"Whatcha looking at?"
He said. Shelby sighed.
"I was looking at the last page, hoping for some answers. I might have something... but it's still so weird!"
She said.
"You took your mask off, something called a True RESET happened, and Adam and Max died!"
She said. Adam frowned.
"Wait, I died? Is that why I woke up yesterday with a large pain in my chest?"
He asked, flipping through his journal.
"Huh. I was stabbed. That must've hurt."
He said, stopping on the last page.
"And I took my mask off? That's unlikely."
Cory said, the lens on his mask zooming in and out on the page. Shelby groaned.
"That gets us nowhere. Maybe... maybe this all happened once, and that's why we don't know anything about this?"
She asked. Cory shrugged.
"Maybe. OH! We're here."
He said, pointing outside. The bus then slowed to a crawl while the Gym Teacher stood up.
"ALRIGHT LISTEN UP."
He yelled, catching every ones attention pretty dang fast.
"STAY WITH YOUR GROUP. WE'LL BE HERE FOR A FEW DAYS, AND YOUR SHARING A ROOM WITH ANOTHER GROUP, SO PICK WISELY, OR WE'RE PICKING FOR YOU. LUNCH WILL BE WITH YOUR PACKED LUNCH TODAY, WHILE THE OTHER DAYS IT'S PROVIDED. IS THAT UNDERSTOOD?!"
He yelled. A chorus of "Yeahs" and "Yes!"'s went around the bus. The Gym teacher sat down, while the Principal stood up.
"You'll be exiting by row to avoid pushing."
He said, dismissing the back first, and going in order from there. Once Shelby, Cory, and Jess got off, they waited for Adam, Barney and Red to get off. Once they did, the six of them moved into the hotel to get their room pretty quickly. First come, first serve.
"Here."
The deskhand said, giving Cory and Adam two keys. Everybody then went to their room.
"So... room 316?"
Red asked, watching all the doors carefully.
"Theres."
Barney said, pointing to a door. Once Cory put the key in, they all entered.
"Its so BIIIIIIG!"
Jess squealed. Cory sighed.
"There's 6 of us. It'd have to be."
He explained, sitting on a bed, and grabbing the notepad provided by the hotel.
"OK. So let's make a plan. Today, I'm down for resting. It's still really early, so we can enjoy ourselves."
Cory said, as it was still only 6 in the morning. Adam nodded.
"Sure. I'm down for swimming once it gets hotter."
He said. Cory wrote that down, before waving his pen to the others.
"Umm... maybe we could look around the hotel for the time being? Maybe theirs something here we could do while we wait?"
Red asked.
"They want us all in our rooms until everyone's off the bus and situated."
Shelby said, but Cory wrote it down anyway.
"Maybes theres ans arcades!"
Barney said, smirking. Jess grinned.
"I'd be down for that."
She said. Cory wrote that down.
"Well, all we know is theirs a pool. There should be an exercise room, so I'm probably going to go there."
Cory said, looking up. Adam nodded.
"I'll go with you. One, buddy system, and two, I am out of shape."
He said, laughing. Jess flopped on a bed dramatically.
"Well I'm tired. We should see who goes on which-"
"AAAAHHH!"
A scream filled the room. Everyone who was sitting jumped into the air.
"W-What was that?"
Shelby asked. Red frowned.
"I don't think that's a spider..."
He said. Cory ran to the sliding window that led to the patio/ balcony in their room, and looked down. Sure enough, something was happening.
