An array of three proton streams fly through the air; striking a wall where a class 6, full torso demon had just been. The proton streams quickly disappear as three CGBs run into the next room.
Jay peers around a corner, "Where'd it go?"
Greg shoves him into the room, "I don't know, let's go and find out."
Heather walks in, "Keep your eyes open boys."
The class 6 appears through the floor and slashes its claws at Jay. Jay jumps back and fires; his proton stream encircles the demon, holding it.
"A trap'd be nice!" Jay yells as Heather and Greg help hold the spook by wrapping it in proton streams. Kim runs in, her trap-gun all ready unhooked and ready. A little smoke escaping from the trap's doors, "Sorry, had a little trouble with a class 5 in the other room." She aims at the class 6 and fires. A bright burst of energy emits from the trap-gun, pulling the class 6 into the temporary containment unit.
The four CGBs walk out of the house. The light of the full moon lighting the entire area which is full of bystanders from the neighborhood. Jay cricks his neck. "Ugh, how much is this one G.?" He asks, yawning.
"Hmm, let's see..." He goes into thought then scribbles something onto a piece of paper which he hands to a young woman in her mid-20's amongst the crowd. She blinks when she reads the bill.
"You actually expect me to pay this? That's ridiculouse." The woman yells throwing the bill onto the ground. Kim sighs as Greg picks up the little piece of paper.
"OK Kim," Heather says. Kim starts walking back towards the house.
"Where is she going?" The woman asks angrily.
"To put the ghosts back in your house." Jay states, "You don't pay the bill, we don't get rid of the problem. Simple as that."
Kim opens the front door and aims her trap-gun into the house.
"WAIT!" The woman yells, Kim looks over her shoulder, "I...I'll pay." Jay smiles, they always do he thinks to himself.
"Thank you so much," Greg states half-heartedly; the woman wrights out a check and gives it to Greg who folds the check and shoves it into his pocket. Greg, Kim, and Heather climb into the van, with the new licence plates reading "ECTO-V". Jay puts his proton pack in the back of the van and grabs a black motercycle helmet off a shelf. The helmet has the CGB logo on the back of it. He slips it on, quickly doing up the strap.
"We'll see ya back at the firehouse." Greg states. Jay nods as the ECTO-V drives off, a dust cloud trailing behind it. The dust quickly settles revealing a black, 1982 Harley Davidson with the CGB logo painted on the sides. His licence plate reads "ECTO-J". Jay gets on the bike and revs it up, he waves to the crowd and drives off.
Jay sits on the couch in the living room. His friends and co-workers walk up from the basement and sit down; Kim & Greg on the couch with Jay while Heather sits in the arm chair. Ray walks in.
"How'd it go?" Ray asks.
"Getting more difficult." Jay grumbles.
Roni walks in, "Surprizingly we have no more calls, for now anyway."
"You're right, that is a surprize." Greg states.
"That's to be expected, Halloween's only two days away. Let's just hope Sam Hain doesn't decide to return after so many years." Ray states, remembering past experiences with Sam Hain, an old foe of the Ghostbusters.
"Isn't Halloween the celebration of Sam Hain?" Kim asks.
"Something like that." Ray states, "although Sam Hain is very real. I just hope he doesn't decide to come up north."
"I thought he was in the containment unit." Heather states.
"It was emptied by the Peoplebusters, remember?" Greg states.
Her eyes grow wide, "Oh yeah, sorry." Jay mumbles something about sleep and stumbles upstairs.
"What's eating him?" Kim asks as Ray sits down.
"I dunno." Roni states, getting up and going upstairs.
Jay looks over the equipment and variouse instruments lying atop the tables. He walks over to the long-range PKE meter. Something he and Greg have been working on. It takes the PKE readings of a 5 km radius, or at least it's supposed to. They haven't quite finished it yet. He opens the back console and starts tweaking little things here and there. Roni walks in.
"Why are you so grumpy?" She asks, sitting next to him.
"No one appreciates our work. I mean, once in a while we get some applause and what-not, but for the most part people would rather yell at us then pay their bill." Jay grumbles, closing the console.
"What do you expect, their house is usually trashed, therefore they have to pay for a lot of new things, and our bill just adds to how much debt they'll be in." Roni states.
"I know, but it's been like this for years. Ever since the Ghostbusters first started they've always been treated badly. You'd think after 17 years they'd lighten up a touch."
"Not much we can do about that Jay." Roni states. Jay nods and flicks a switch on the LR PKE meter. The readings start measuring , "what the.." Jay stutters as the device starts to shake, "Get Down!" Jay yells, tackling Roni and shielding her. The device explodes, overloaded by the immense PKE readings. Greg, Ray, Kim, Heather, and Ray run upstaires to find the room a complete mess. A bookshelf had fallen with books and small devices scattered everywhere. A small, black, smoking crater atop the table where the LR PKE meter once stood. They look around but can't seem to find Jay or Roni.
"Where'd they go?" Greg asks. The bookshelf starts to rock slightly. Greg and Ray run over and lift it up to find Jay huddled over Roni, his back burnt slightly.
"Jay!" Heather yells, helping him up. Roni gets up.
"What happened here?" Ray asks looking at the mess.
"The Long-Range PKE Meter blew." Jay states, barely standing under his own power.
"What?" Greg yells angrily, "we've spent countless nights working on that thing!"
"I know." Jay grumbles, "there was too much PK energy for it to read and it blew."
"What?!" Ray asks, "that's impossible!"
"Well obviously it isn't." Roni states, hugging Jay.
"This is bad. Are you sure it wasn't malfuctioning?" Ray asks.
"Check the normal PKE meters." Greg says; Heather grabs a PKE meter and switches it on. A surge of power zaps her hand; Heather screams in pain, dropping the PKE meter; craddling her hand. The PKE meter smashes.
"Oh no." Kim mutters, looking out the window.
"What?" Ray asks, running over to the window. He looks out to see Sam Hain flying towards them followed by an army of goblins, spooks and things from your worst nightmares.
"What do you suggest?" Kim asks, backing away from the window.
Ray slowly inches away from the window, "Running would be a good idea." Heather, Kim, Roni, and Ray quickly run for the firepole. Greg helps Jay to it. They all slide down and cram into the ECTO-V.
"Wait! My bike!" Jay yells trying to get out.
"Forget about it!" Ray orders, "you're too weak to go out there."
Greg jumps into the driver's seat and quickly turns on the van. The front doors open and the ECTO-V speeds out as the ghostly army circles the firehouse.
"Go, my little ones! Free your brethren!" Sam Hain orders angrily. The entire army swarms into the CGBHQ. Greg stops the van about a mile away. They all get out. Silence fills the air for what seems like a life time. Jay looks at his watch, making sure not to push the PKE meter button on it. He looks up again. A huge explosion is heard by the CGBs. Roni hugs Jay as a huge blast of ecto-plasmic energy fires up from the firehouse; forming into all the ghosts that attacked the CGBHQ as well as all the ghosts captured by the CGBs.
"Oh no." Kim mutters, her arms wrapped around Greg, "Now what?"
"It's over." Greg mutters, "they've won."
"It's not over yet!" Heather yells angrily, "we still have our equipment."
"We may have our equipment, but what makes you think it could handle all that?" Jay asks, hugging Roni back, "especially with our lack of experience."
"Don't put yourselves down yet," Ray states, "you guys have busted a few rather dangerouse ghosts that gave the old team a rough time."
"Lot of good that does us now." Jay mutters angrily. The swarm of ecto-plasmic entities continues rotating in a circle with Sam Hain in the middle.
The pumpkin headed ghoul glances in the Ghostbusters' dircetion and grins wickedly.
"Get them my little ones!" He hisses, pointing at the ECTO-V.
"That's not good." Greg states, inching back towards the ECTO-V.
"NO!" A raspy voice roars throughout the area.
"Who dares defy me!" Sam Hain roars angrily. The Sandman, another RGB classic, appears in a cloud of dust.
"Kirilian ordered you to return to New York once you freed our captured brethren." The Sandman states.
"Kirilian." Jay repeets to himself, making the name sound more like a curse.
"But the Ghostbusters!" Sam Hain tries to argue.
"They'll get their's after the return." Sandman states, disappearing in a cloud of dust.
"Oh c'mon, let us take them out!" Tony Scoleri roars angrily.
"No," Sam Hain orders grudgingly, "we have our orders." With that said, the army of ghosts flies southward, away from the Ghostbusters.
Jay blinks, "Did you just see what I just saw?"
"I don't know, did you just see a bunch of ghosts attack the firehouse, release the captured ghosts, then fly away with orders not to attack us?" Kim replies.
"I saw that too, but I'm not sure I believe it." Heather states.
"Oh, good then, we're all hallucinating the same thing." Roni states.
"We know what we have to do." Ray states, walking back to the ECTO-V.
"We do?" Heather asks.
"We have to go to New York. The EGBs won't be able to handle this on their own, they'll need our help." Ray says.
"How are we going to get there?" Kim asks, "New York isn't exactly a hop, skip and a jump away."
The silent night air is disturbed by the wailing of police sirens.
"Wonderfull," Jay grumbles; he turns to Roni, "listen, you better go home, this isn't your fight."
"No, i...if there's a way I can help then I'm going to help." Roni states.
"Haven't you been teaching her how to use the equipment, Jay?" Greg asks.
"Well, yeah but..." Jay stutters, not wanting Roni in harms way.
"She'll be safer with us anyway Jay." Ray states, "they've seen her with us and will most likely come back for her." Ray states.
"OK then." Jay agrees. Three police cars drive up to them, lights flashing.
"FREEZE!" One police officer yells, aiming his pistol at the CGBs.
"What the...?" Greg asks.
"You're under arrest for endangering human lives!"
"What're you talking about?" Kim yells.
"I can't believe they're blaming us for the explosion." Kim grumbles.
"It's not the first time." Ray states.
"So now what?" Jay asks.
"We wait for someone high in the Government to want to have a meeting with us." Ray states sarcastically.
"Hey Ghostbusters!" A police officer yells, entering the cell area.
The CGBs minus Ray stare in disbelief.
"The Prime Minister's here to see you, says he needs to see you right away." The officer states unlocking the gates.
The CGBs walk into a large room usually used for questioning suspects, the Prime Minister, Jean Chrétien, sitting in the back of the room with a bodygaurd at each side.
The ECTO-V drives up to the front of the CGBHQ. Ecto-plasmic residue covers the area.
"I still can't believe we're gonna get government funding." Jay states, getting out of the van, Proton Pack armed, proton gun in hand.
"First time for everything." Ray states, looking around.
"C'mon, let's get the stuff and go. We have to be at the airport in a few hours." Kim states, aiming her proton pistol from side to side as she approaches the door.
"This is gonna be messy so brace yourselves." Greg states as Kim attempts to open the door, "It's stuck."
"Stand back." Heather ordersaiming her proton gun at the door.
The front door blows off flying a few feet from the doorway. Jay runs in quickly, ready to fire if necessary; the sunlight pooring in from the hole in the roof. The rest follow suit. Roni walks in wearing a navy blue CGB uniform.
"Anything?" Roni asks timidly.
"Not yet." Ray states, "Kim, Heather, take Roni upstaires see if you can salvage the last proton pack we had. and bring it back to me." The girls nod and run upstaires.
Jay and Greg walk downstaires and start rummaging through the junk left in the basement. Everything covered in a thick coat of green slime. The Containment unit is bearely noticable with a huge hole blown out of the front.
"Yuck." Jay grumbles as he starts digging through piles of junk.
"So Jay, what's with you and Roni?" Greg asks.
"What about me and Roni?" Jay asks back, trying to avoid the obviouseness of Greg's question.
"Last night man," Greg remembers, "you risked your own life to save her."
"Yeah, so?" Jay states throwing some equipment into a duffel bag.
"So, you could have just pushed her out of harms way, she could have been hurt more that way though." Greg replies, "you got a thing for her don't you?"
"So what if I do? This is deffinatly not the time or the place to be acting upon my feelings for her, we have a job to do."
"So, Roni,"Kim starts, "what was that all about last night?"
"What was what all about?" Roni asks, knowing full well what Kim meant.
"You and Jay. He risked his butt for you then you were clinging to him as bad as Kim with Greg." Heather states, smirking.
"Hey!" Kim grumbles, smiling.
"He saved my life, I just felt safe with him after that." Roni states, blushing.
"No kidding." Heather replies, "still, I'm surprized he did that. He could have just as easily shoved you out of the way and saved himself too."
"Yeah but there would have been a greater chance that Roni'd be hurt." Kim states, "so he used himself as a human shield. I think he likes you Roni."
"You really think so?" Roni asks.
The girls come down from upstaires at the same time the guys come up from the basement. They all load everything into the van. Roni has on a smaller version of the RGB pack.
"Where's Ray?" Kim asks.
"Right here." Ray answers from inside the front seat of the van.
"We all ready?" Greg asks.
"If you all got what we came for." Ray states, revving the van.
"Not everything." Jay mumbles. He looks over where he last saw his ECTO-J and sees a handle bar sticking out of a pile of rubble. Everyone else starts getting into the van.
"Hold up you guys." Jay asks as he runs over and stands up his bike, shaking the rubble off it. He smiles as he puts his proton pack into the back of the van. He grabs his helmet and slips it on. The ECTO-V drives off. Jay sits down on his Harley and revs it, smiling underneath his helmet, he drives off after the ECTO-V.
The ECTO-J drives up to a huge army airplane used to transport vehicles. Jay gets off his bike and looks at the plane.
"Big." He mutters to himself as the ECTO-V drives up and parks next to Jay.
"What took you guys so long?" I passed you, like, 20 minutes ago." Jay yells cheerfully.
"C'mon, let's get these onto the plane. We have to leave ASAP." Ray states.
Jean Chrétien walks up to the CGBs, "This will take you directly to the New York Airport. Is there anything else I can do before you leave?" the Prime Minister asks, his accent making the CGBs barely able to understand him.
"Yes, if you could keep everyone one mile away from what's left of our firehouse at all time." Ray asks, shaking the Prime Minister's hand.
"I will get the parameters set up immediatly." He states.
"That's it then, let's go boys and girls." Greg yells. He drives the ECTO-V up into the plane, Jay follows with the ECTO-J. The CGBs go into the plane which takes off minutes after they go inside.
