I own, neither Mass Effect, nor Ghostbusters.
This is a Halloween special Fanfiction and I hope you like it.
[Ghostbusters Soundtrack-01]
The scene opens, showing the 1980s Colombia Pictures logo, then a grain filmed version of the Bioware Logo. Then a old commercial starts on a small screen.
"Are you troubled by strange noises at night?" Dr. Raymond 'Ray' Stantz asks the viewer.
"Do you experience feelings of dread in your basement of attic?" Dr. Egon Spengler asks, holding a flash light under beneath his face.
"Have you or your family actually seen a spook, specter or ghost?" Dr. Peter Venkman asks. The camera moves out, showing that the commercial is on a holoscreen, in a Citadel museum, with a Salarian guard watching it.
"If you answer is yes, then don't wait another minute." Ray said with Peter and Egon standing with him.
"Just pick up the phone and call the professionals!" Ray said, the guard shaking his head, not knowing the being wondering the halls. And then Egon speaks.
"Call the..."
"Ghostbusters!" The trio said together. "We are ready to believe you!"
"With our Halloween Special today." Peter finishes with a sales pitch.
"How are they still in business, I don't know." The guard said as he looks at the commercial. Just then the being screams into a camera, making the guard jump as the video goes blank. "Palidos, something heading your way." The Salarian guard said with hints of fear in his voice. We now see a Turian guard looking around the place, wondering into a room filled with Terran artifacts, cult artifacts.
"Right, thanks for the warning." The Turian brings out his pistol and activates a flashlight app on his omni-tool. As he looks around, he is feeling dread and fear of the artifacts filling the room. Many of them made from human skeletons, flesh and blood, in forms of statues, tools, or what just the turian guard just past, a book. 'This place still give me the creeps.' The Turian Guard thought.
"Hey, Palidos." The Salarian Guard said loudly on the radio, making the Turian guard jump.
"What?!"
"I have been looking up this new exhibit and get this, most of this is from this cult that worship this entity called Gozer."
"No Varren Shit. Most of this stuff in here borderlines on crazy." The Turian Guard replies as he pass a stone statue.
"I know, but get this, out of all the item and myth that are displayed, there is one that sticks out." The Salarian said as the Turian guard turns his back from the statue as it multiple eyes glow yellow.
"Yeah, whats that?"
"This one myth about a 'Harbinger' return cleansing all when Gozer fails. I mean all of the stuff is about Gozer wiping out the human is the main theme."
"Yeah, lets talk this kind of shit, in the morning. This place is creepy enough in the day." The Turian said as he give the place one more look then walking out. "Are you sure there was someone here? I saw no one." The Turian said, unaware that something is watching him from behind. As he walks out the entity starts to move towards him and glow.
[End Song, Start Ghostbusters by Ray Parker Jr.]
The Turian guard notice the glow and then screams in fear as he made contact with the being. A large wave of supernatural energy expands from the small museum, spreading to the district, the sector, arm, arms then the center. As the people of the Citadel wonders what that was, they have yet to notice what was walking towards them, till they see it, giving them fright.
(00:12) Walking towards them was a standing pile of blob, strutting without care. The people scream and move out of the way as the being struts to the beat. As it struts, it move and bends from the shocked citizens, fallen garbage, and crashed vehicles. It even pass through some people, leaving behind a trail of slime on them. What was scaring the people so much is something that only exists in myth, a Ghost.
GHOSTBUSTERS
Just then, the ghost is trapped in a Keep Out sign.
If there something strange, in your neighborhood...
The Ghost became a build board sign for a small building.
Who you gonna call?
A Asari maiden is reading a holopad until her omni-tool rings.
GHOSTBUSTERS
A cry of help came from her end. She slams her hand on a alarm, alerting the people inside.
If there's something weird, and it don't look good... Who you gonna call?
A Quarian male stop welding, a human male wakes up, a Krogan stop adjusting his pack, all starting to running out with their packs on their backs.
GHOSTBUSTERS
(00:45) As the three run towards a gaudy looking Kodiak, and waiting inside is a Hanar. As they strap in, the Asari blows a kiss to the Korgan as they ride off. A Turian female is frozen in fear on whats before her.
I ain't afraid of no Ghosts!
It was a red skeletal being with six arms and fangs and it approach her. It was drooling at her in hunger. It leap into the air to devour her, the Turian female screams covering her eyes, but before it made it, a stream of energy wraps around it, the turian female opens them and see the ghost being held over a small looking box.
I ain't afraid of no Ghost!
The box opens and in a bright light, the ghost gets sucked in. The Quarian grabs the box and quickly jumps back into the Kodiak. The Female Turian gave what her kind is a smile to the Quarian, who blush under his helm. The human gave the Quarian a playful push, the Krogan laughs loudly at the Quarian's bashfulness, while the Hanar is giving advise to the Quarian on relationship.
If you're seeing things thangs running through your head...
Another ghost is chasing after a group of Asari consorts, the blue maidens frightful as it took a appearance of sentient garbage. The human bursts in and aims the beam at the being.
Who can you call?
The garbage ghost explodes, revealing the small imp controlling it.
GHOSTBUSTERS
The human smiles as he points the beam at the imp.
A Invisible Man, sleeping in your bed. OW!
The imps runs, but gets caught in the energy stream, getting moves towards the box.
Who Ya Gonna call?
The human opens the box, and the imp gets trapped.
GHOSTBUSTERS
(01:27) As the Asari Consorts start to thank the smiling Human, the others quickly grabs him and drags him inside, much to his despite. As they drive off, the human asks them their numbers, but was too far to hear them. As he grumbles, the group sees a self driving vehicle.
I ain't afraid of no ghosts!
Inside is a skeletal Turian, laughing as he drives wildly in traffic. The Hanar takes out one of his beam and aims. With one good shot, he shot the vehicle down, the entity stumbling out in wooziness. It stumbles to a box and gets sucked in.
I ain't afraid of no ghost!
The Hanar walks towards the box and quickly pick it as they continue to capture ghosts. In the main center, a couple is looking at a krogan statue, but it them was smashed by a giant hammer, belonging to a twisted looking Krogan.
Who you gonna call?
It was about to smash the couple, but was hit at the face with a ball of energy.
GHOSTBUSTERS
It came from the Krogan, wearing metal gloves coursing with energy.
If your all alone, pick up the phone, and call...
The phantom krogan roars at the living krogan and ready it's hammer. The krogan smirks as he powers his gloves. The two are facing each other and the krogan punch the specter across the face.
GHOSTBUSTERS
The dead krogan falls on a nearby box, and it activates on it. The ghost is now trapped, and the krogan grabs it.
I ain't afraid of no ghosts!
As the Krogan picks up the box, C-SEC is surrounding him and the others under suspicion.
I here it like the girls.
C-SECs are trying to arrest the group, but met resistance from the group, especially the human.
I ain't afraid of no ghosts!
Before C-SEC could arrest them, the peopele start to protest against them.
YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH!
C-SEC is discouraged and the group walks free, thanking the crowd. The crowd cheer at them as they leave to the next job.
Who you gonna call?
GHOSTBUSTERS
As they drive off, the kodiak is picking up large energy readings at the council room. Everyone nod as they drive there.
You have a dose of a freaky ghost, baby, you better call...
Soon enough, the group barges in the council room, earning protest from the councilors, especially Sparticus.
GHOSTBUSTERS, OW!
Before security grab them, everything started to go dark.
(02:34) Everyone look up and gasp in horror as they see, not one, but many mechanical cephalopods, looming over the citadel, leading them is the largest of them, Harbinger. As the people are screaming in terror, the four look at each other and nod as they bring out their tool and do something really stupid.
Let me tell you something...
They are going to cross the streams.
Bustin' makes me feel good!
(02:50) The Quarian male fires the first stream, hitting Harbinger, causing little damage to the ancient machine. Then the human starts to fire, right next to the quarian.
I ain't afraid of no ghost!
Soon, the Hanar brings out its weapon, standing on the quarian's other-side, with the Krogan converting his gloves into a cannon and fires along with the human. As they combine the streams, it turn into a larger, more volitle version of it. Harbiner moans as it and it brothers feel pain.
I ain't afraid of no ghost!
With a large pulse of energy, instead of destroying the universe, the merging beams start to disintegrate Harbinger and all of his brethren.
Don't get caught alone, Oh No.
GHOSTBUSTERS
The group blink as they see that are still around. They smile and start to high five each other.
When it comes through your door, unless you want some more...
They soon walk past the shocked Councillors, and start to hear cheers outside.
I think you better call,
GHOSTBUSTERS, OW!
Everyone who saw the event cheer loudly for the group, as they wave at them.
Who you gonna call?
GHOSTBUSTERS!
Many of them cheer as they unintentionally ended the Reaper War.
Who you gonna call?
GHOSTBUSTERS!
They soon hear that they are receiving another job from the kodiak.
I think you better call,
GHOSTBUSTERS!
They all soon ran towards the kodiak and jump inside.
Who you gonna call?
GHOSTBUSTERS!
The hanar driver activates the loud siren as they start to drive off.
I can't hear you. Who you gonna call?
GHOSTBUSTERS!
As they drive off, they did notice the military forces coming to save the day from the Reapers, but they where too late, much to their shock.
Louder!
GHOSTBUSTERS!
As the group drives away, the human turn on the radio and hears the song playing.
Who you gonna call?
GHOSTBUSTERS!
Everyone inside start to shake their heads to the beat.
Who you gonna call?
GHOSTBUSTERS!
As they drive, the camera zooms out as the music fades.
Who you gonna call?
GHOSTBUSTERS!
[End song, Start Soundtrack 02]
We now return to the small building many hours later, with the group exhausted, and carrying many boxes filled with many specters and ghosts. "So, how was business?" The Asari asks.
"Oh, you know, capturing long dead spirits, nearly got arrested for thought of being the people behind the ghosts, nearly destroying the universe, and killing a god." The human joked. "You know, the usual." The Asari only huff at this.
"Did you at least got the payments?" The Asari asks, as they bring out Credit chits. "That's good. Remember, this is my family's business, so don't forget them. Ghost hunting is expensive to run." The Asari grabs the credit chit as the group only stare at her.
"I still can't believe that she is working as a secretary, despite being the great great grand daughter to one of the founders." The Quarian said.
"I still can't believe you're dating her." The human said to the krogan, who just shrug at it.
"What can I say? Ghost hunting sounded like a easy college class." The krogan said as he looks at the Asari heir, who wink at him. "And I can't help it if I have animal charm."
"This one is particurally glad that all we faced was normal specters and false gods." The Hanar said, everyone nodding in agreement.
"I know what you mean. Usually old Pumpkin face shows his ugly mug and makes a huge mess of everything." The human said as he and the others are bringing the traps to the ghost holding cell.
(01:40) Just outside the building the the Turian security guard, staring at the Ghostbusters building. He have a dull look on his face, but soon starts to laugh slowly. As it grows into a loud cackle, the camera move above him, showing his shadow, not matching him, but, taking form of a all too familiar Spirit of Halloween, with the shadow's eyes and mouth glowing with wicked glee, knowing that this will be his day.
So, this is my first Halloween special, featuring Mass Effect/Ghosbusters crossover. This was something I been righting between breaks at my work, cause the little time I do have off work, usually is occupied cleaning the house, taking care of the pets, and help and 'contribute' to maintaining the house, only making me completing half of all my stories. Sorry for taking so long for my other stories. I hope my stories will be worth the wait and I hope you enjoy this Halloween special story.
