attempt to fix your eyesight so you can see in HD once again
Eyesight is fine, it's just that Gmod kept getting random FPS drops that made posing without loving up and accidentally grabbing a random window instead of VendOS (Or accidentally dragging VendOS onto a bunch of props and knocking them over) too frustrating
That's fixed now that I've removed the Time Rewind SWEP from my Gmod

heal tf up before you go back jesus
Greyson drives Joshua to the hospital and demands for some quick healing, and immediately shoves a bunch of (secretly) counterfeit bills onto the counter. Joshua will be in the hospital for a half hour.

play America forget Yeah on infinite loop for added patriotism
Fist their eye sockets
VendOS immediately begins blasting the Team America: World Police theme song at the Commie Ghosts, blasting them with 194 DECIBELS OF PURE
PATRIOTISM! The ghosts immediately reel backwards in disgust and try in vain to cover their ears!

VendOS continues blasting "MURICA, forget YEAH!" at the Commies while the SWAT Zombies fist their ghost eyes, stunning them even further!

The Priest suddenly kicks the door to Joshua's house open, and waves around an American Flag at the Commies!
Commie Ghost: NO! IT'S THAT PRIEST!
Commie Ghost 2: We cannot let our minds be corrupted by thoughts of Capitalism and Democracy! We must kill him too!
Koschei the Deathless: YOU AGAIN?
The Priest: It is I! Choke on my patriotism, you unholy abomination!
Koschei the Deathless: NOOOOOOOOO!

The Priest opens up his briefcase to reveal that it is full of money!
The Priest: You like that, don't you?
Koschei the Deathless: Must... Resist.... Corrupting.... Influence... Of money!
The Priest: It's all yours. You can become powerful with all this money! All you have to do is give up on trying to kill my boy, and renounce your Communist ways!
Koschei the Deathless: N...Nooooo......
Koschei can't resist the briefcase full of money, and starts inching towards it.

The Priest stabs Koschei in the side of the head with an American Flag, severely damaging Koschei and stunning him!

While Koschei staggers back from the blow, the Priest suddenly whips out a can of Anti-Communist Bug Spray
™ and lets it rip!
Koschei: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I will not be defeated by a filthy Capitalist! I'll kill---

The Priest finishes off Koschei by throwing a bible at his face. A bright light suddenly fills the room as Koschei's entire body turns white before fading away.
Koschei: <While dying a SECOND time>This isn't over!
I'll be back somedaaaaaaaay!



Enraged by Koschei dying a second time, the Psionic Ghost leaps out of a corner and tries to Mind Control the Priest! The Priest quickly says a prayer to Jesus as he throws the American Flag at the Ghost, interrupting the Mind Control and killing it! The Psionic Ghost is soon revealed to be the ghost of Riddler, who also teamed up with Koschei for revenge against Joshua! With Riddler dead, Uncle Greyson's cultists are released from the mind control!


The ghost of the International Order of Communist's Leader steps into the room to find Koschei and Riddler dead. Knowing when to fold em, he quickly runs the hell away. The other ghosts, however, are not deterred and surround the Priest, ready to rip and tear!


The Priest is not intimidated and whips out two cans of Anti-Communist bug Spray™, dual-wielding them before he starts spinning around while spraying the Commies left and right, killing them for a second time! Most of the remaining ghosts finally take the hint and run the hell away, and the few that don't get ruthlessly exterminated!
Commie Ghosts: Okay, okay! We'll stop trying to kill you now! We're sorry!

Joshua arrives home a half hour later to find several dead ghosts and the Priest(along with VendOS) waiting for him.
Priest: It is done, my son. You're safe for now.
Joshua: Thank you!
Priest: No need to thank me for doing what had to be done. But you're welcome, though. Now I must go back.
The Priest drives away from the house while Joshua orders VendOS to get rid of all the corpses. Joshua turns to Uncle Greyson.
Joshua: Thanks for getting me out of jail, Uncle G.
Uncle Greyson: You're welcome, man. This isn't the first time I've broken someone out of jail with that routine.


With Koschei and most of his followers defeated, Joshua is able to sleep easy tonight, and wakes up on Christmas Eve. Joshua wakes up to a text message reminding him that the family is coming over for Christmas tomorrow, and that his lawnmower will arrive at exactly 12:00 noon so that he can finally get a job(by starting a company).
It is 9:00 AM on Friday, December 24. On January 1, Joshua will be released from MindHive. Assuming Augmented Horizons isn't lying.
