The CGBs have arrived in New York but have yet to get in contact with any of the other Ghostbusters. Now, as they plan their next move, a pair of red eyes watch them.
"So what's the plan Ray?" Greg asks.
"We have to get to the firehouse. See what's been happening here. There has been no word anywhere of anything supernatural going on, which seems extremely odd." Ray explains.
"All right then, I'll take my bike and meet you guys there." Jay states, grabbing his helmet and walking over to his bike, the ECTO-J.
"You shouldn't go alone." Heather states.
"I'll go with him." Roni states sheepishly.
"You will?" Jay asks.
"OK." Ray agrees.
"Jay, take this." Ray hands Jay a device that looks like a futuristic pistol.
"And this is?" Jay asks, shoving the small gun into his pocket.
"A proton pistol." Ray states, handing Jay some small cartridges, "these are it's powere source."
"How much power does this thing produce?" Jay asks, putting the cartridges in his breast pocket.
"Enough to hold anything up to a class 4, will stun a class 5 or 6, and be the equivalant of tickling anything higher." Ray states getting into the ECTO-V.
"OK then, we'll see ya later." Jay states, revving his bike. Roni slips on a helmet and gets on the back, wrapping her arms around Jay. They drive off.
"Shouldn't they take a ghost trap too?" Kim asks, sitting in the back of the van.
"He's got one." Greg states smiling.
"I didn't see one." Heather states as Ray starts up the van.
"He's got one," Greg repeats. Ray drives the van towards the old firehouse.
Jay drives along the road slowly as New York traffic stock piles throughout the streets.
"You ok back there?" Jay asks to Roni.
"Fine," Roni replies, smiling.
Jay smiles, he looks at the small console on his bike and sees a small light blinking. Jay pushes a small, red button and activates the built in PKE Meter. The readings appear to be coming from every which direction.
"Uh-oh." Jay mumbles. Roni didn't notice.
As the traffic light stays red Jay tries to triangulate the source of the readings. He blinks, wondering why the street light hasn't changed yet as the motorists in front of him become impatiant. He looks to his left and sees a fire hydrant rattle as people walk by, some taking notice, others obliviouse to the shaking hydrant. A dog walks up to it and sniffs around the fire hydrant. The dog yelps and runs away quickly.
"Uh-oh." Jay mumbles again, this time Roni heard him.
"What?" She asks, trying to see the console.
"Ready for a field test of your equipment?" Jay asks, smiling.
"Sure, why?" Roni asks.
"Cause you're gonna get to." Jay states, turning his bike into a parking spot along side the road. They quickly dismount, Roni unlaches her proton gun and turns it on, the familiar noise of it warming up barely heard over the horns blairing and disgruntled drivers swearing at each other. Jay looks over at the street lights again to see them all red. He looks back at the fire hydrant, which has increased its shaking.
"GET DOWN!" Jay yells, shoving Roni behind a parked car. The fire hydrant explodes upwards followed by a stream of pink ectoplasm.
"Holy..." Jay says watching the hydrant fall through the roof of a parked car.
"Hope his insurance'll cover flying fire-hydrants." Roni ponders. Jay chuckles as he pulls out the proton pistol from his pocket. He checks to make sure there's a cartridge loaded into the gun as he watches the cars waiting for the green light drive off as the slime continues to poor out of the hole in the ground. A blur flies out through the ectoplasm, floating above the middle of the street. The feminine figure stays motionless, its back to the two Ghostbusters.
"Woah." Jay steps back a bit, aiming the pistol.
"Who, or what is that?" Roni asks aiming her proton gun at the feminine figure. It turns to face them.
"Janine?" Jay asks recognizing the New York Ghostbusters' missing secretary.
"Who?" Roni asks.
"This is, or was, Janine Melnitz, the Ghostbusters' missing secretary." Jay explains.
"Ah, hello Jay...nice to see you again." The floating Janine states, grinning demonically.
"What do we do Jay?" Roni asks timidly.
"Blast her!" Jay orders firing the small pistol, a thin proton stream fires from the pistol, hitting Janine's shoulder and knocking her back slightly. Janine laughs. Roni fires, catching Janine off gaurd and holding her with her proton stream.
"Hold her steady!" Jay yells, running to his bike. He revs his bike and turns it towards Janine. Roni strains a bit trying to keep Janine under control. Roni almost loses her hold when suddenly two more proton streams grab hold of Janine. Jay & Roni look down the road too see Eduardo and Roland firing their proton guns.
"Nice timing." Roni mutters, Jay looks up at the now writhing Janine and waves. He presses a small, black and yellow striped button on his console. The headlight on the fron of Jay's bike flips up, revealing a ghost trap underneath. The trap's doors open, shooting a beam of energy directly at the possesed Janine. Roni, Roland, and Eduardo shut off their packs as an ecto-plasmic being is ripped from Janine's body into the trap. Jay presses the button again ; the trap closes as the headlight moves back into place. Roni sighs and relaches her proton gun. Roland and Eduardo do the same as they run over to Janine.
"Hey Eddie, what's goin' on?" Jay asks.
"Oh, nothin' much man, we've just been trying to catch Janine here for the past 10 hours. Thanks for slowing her down." Eduardo replies.
"Yeah, If you didn't show up I don't think we could've caught up with her." Roland states, checking Janine's pulse.
"Don't thank me, Roni here is the one that held on before you guys showed up." Jay states, smiling at Roni.
"Your help is appreciated chika." Eduardo states, grinning. Jay glares at Eduardo for a momnt. Janine mutters something as she regains consciousness.
"Are you OK Janine?" Roland asks, helping her up.
"What happened?" Janine asks, shaking her head slightly, "haven't felt this bad since my kegger parties back in high school." Roland & Eduardo blink, staring at Janine for a minute. Jay & Roni smile.
"What?" Janine asks, smiling, "you think Dr. Venkman is the only one to crack a joke at the oddest of times?" Eduardo and Roland laugh slightly, "C'mon, my Mustang's parked over here." Roland states, helping Janine to his car. Eduardo walks over to Jay & Roni.
"What're you guys doing here anyway?" He asks in all seriousness.
"Well, our containment unit was blown to bits by Sam Hain and a handfull of his minions." Jay states, "we had overheard a conversation between Sam hain and the Sandman saying something big was going down here in New York. Figured you might need a hand."
"Well, you've already started helping us by getting Janine back for us, looks like we're gonna need you guys again. Where are the others?"
"They took the ECTO-V to the firehouse." Roni states.
"OK, well, we better get Janine's possesor there too don't you think?" Eduardo asks.
"Well, lead the way MacDuff." Jay states, quoting MacBeth. Eduardo walks over to Roland's car and gets in the back.
"Hold up!" Jay yells, looking at a puddle of pink ecto-plasm left over from Janine's attack. "I want to get a sample of this." He grabs a small plastic container from the little box on the back of his bike and crouchs down to scoop a sample.
"Good job back there by the way." Jay states, looking over his shoulder.
"Really?" Roni replies, smiling back, "Thanks. That means a lot."
A small ripple runs through the slime puddle before Jay can dip the container into it.
"Huh?" Jay mumbles. A small tremor almost knocks him off his feet, sending another tremor though the slime.
"What is this, Jurrasic Park?" Jay grumbles as he looks over at Roland. Roland sees the seriousness on Jay's face and gets out, grabbing his proton pack.
Another tremor starts up some car alarms in the neighborhood.
"Check this out." Jay states. Another tremor sends another ripple though the puddle. Jay quickly scoops the container through the puddle and puts a lid on it. Jay and Roni run back over to the bike, the tremors becoming more frequant and powerful. Jay quickly puts the container in the box and shuts the lid. A large shadow quickly drapes over them. He turns to face Roni and his jaw drops in terror.
"What?" Roni asks as she turns around. She screams causing Jay to cringe. Roland, Eduardo, and Janine all look over to see a hundred foot marshmallow man looking down upon them.
"What is that thing man?" Eduardo yells.
"I...It's....the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man." Jay states, seeing the creature his uncle had thought of as his destructor, looming over them.
"What do we do?" Roland asks, shaking slightly.
"Running, would be a good idea." Jay yells, jumping onto his bike. Roni quickly gets on and wraps her arms around him tightly. Roland dives into his car and starts it up, speeding into high gear.
An elderly lady, probably in her late 40's, turns a corner, wondering why the streets were deserted. Her thoughts quickly disappearing as she sees Roland's mustang speed past.
"What is going on?" She asks herself as she sees Jay's motor bike speed by. She quickly catches a glimpse of the CGB logo and the licence plate "ECTO-J".
"The...Ghostbusters?" She asks herself as Stay-Puft rounds a corner and continues after the speeding Harley and Mustang. She sees the marshmallow man and gasps. Recognizing the marshmallow man, she quickly ducks behind a mailbox. "Not again, no..." She mumbles to herself. She quickly runs away.
Eduardo and Janine fire at Stay-Puft, hitting him with the proton streams, but the streams have no affect. He continues on his marry way chasing after them.
"What do we do?" Janine asks, sitting back down in the front seat of Roland's car.
"I don't know man, the packs have no affect whatsoever!" Eduardo states obviously.
"We need the others." Jay's voice comes through on Roland's walkie-talkie, "Can you guys contact them?"
"Yeah." Roland states, but I don't think we have to."
The mustang and Harley quickly come to a screeching stop as they all see the ECTO-V & ECTO-1 driving towards them. Stay-Puft quickly comes to a stop as he sees the blazing lights and hears the blaring sirens of the ecto-mobiles.
"Sweet." Jay states as he and Roni dismount from the bike. The ecto-mobiles quickly come to a stop next to the others as the rest of the EGBs, CGBs, and Egon & Ray climb out of them.
"Here Jay." Greg says, handing Jay his proper proton pack. Jay quickly slips it on as Egon hands Janine an RGB pack too.
"Are you ok?" Egon asks, looking worried.
"I'm fine Egon," she kisses him, "and thanks for careing."
"All right, let's do some marshmallow roasting over the open campfire!" Garrett yells, aiming at the marshamllow man. Ray looks at Stay-Puft with a sad look on his face.
"Don't worry Ray," Egon says, trying to cheer his friend up, "you know we're not destroying him, just putting him back in the containment unit."
"Yeah, I know." Ray mumbles, aiming at the giant marshamllow.
"On three!" Garrett yells.
"THREE!" Everyone yells. Thirteen proton streams fly from the group, attaching to all diffrent parts of the marshmallow man. It roars angrily as the three trappers stop firing. Kim unholsters her trap gun, Kylie reaches for her trap, and Ray grabs his. Kylie and Ray slide there traps underneath Stay-Puft as Kim aims at it. Kylie presses the trigger, Ray steps on the foot pedal, and Kim fires. Stay Puft splits into three parts as the other GBs stop firing. The three parts fly into the three traps. Ray, Kim, and Kylie shut off their seperate traps simaltaniously. Jay smiles as he shuts off his proton gun and relaches it back to his pack, "that wasn't so hard." He says jokingly. The other GBs glare at him then get into the ecto-mobiles.
The thirteen ghostbusters sit around the living room area of the old firehouse in silence.
"So that, was the infamouse Stay Puft Marshmallow Man." Jay states, breaking the silence.
"Yeah, that's him, but we forgot the chocolat and graham crackers" Ray states, smiling.
"Janine, do you remember anything from your time spent with the ghosts?" Egon asks Janine.
"No, the last thing I remember was staring the Peoplebuster version of you in the face." Janine states, shuddering.
"So now what? We're all here, how're we going to stop this mess?" Kylie asks.
"No, not all of us." Roland cuts in.
"Yeah, we don't have the rest of the OGBs here yet." Garrett states.
"Hate to prove you wrong kids, " Winston Zeddmore states, walking in with Peter Venkman, "but we're back too."
"You got that right Winston m'man." Peter states, smiling.
"OK, now we're all here, now what?" Heather asks.
"We kick some ass," Greg states.
"In a...spiritual sense of course." Jay adds.
"Uh, one question." Eduardo says, "where's Slimer?"
"That's a good question." Kim states.
A green blur flies around the room, growling angrily.
"What the...?" Jay yells, grabbing the proton pistol still in his pocket. The blur slows down as the Ghostbusters all recognize what it is.
"Slimer?" Ray asks, "spud stop!"
Slimer stops and looks at Ray, a demonic grin on his face, his eyes glowing monstorously red.
"Slime-ball?" Eduardo asks. Slimer growls and tackles Eduardo, covering him in slime.
"SPUD STOP!" Peter yells. Slimer glares at Peter, "it's me, Peter."
"Pee-tarr?" Slimer mumbles.
"Yes, it's me. Peter." Peter states, holding open his arms. Slimer shakes his head wildly and slimes Peter, growling angrily again.
"That's it!" Jay yells, firing the proton pistol at Slimer.
"No wait!" Egon yells. Slimer dodges the proton stream and flies out through the wall.
"Damn." Jay mumbles. "I almost had him."
"You ok Pete?" Ray asks, helping him to the floor.
"Ray, what happened to him?" Peter asks, a tear streaking down his face.
"Woah man, what is this?" Eduardo asks, looking at the slime splattered over his body. A light, pinkish glow emits from Slimer's green ecto-plasm. Egon grabs his PKE meter and examines the ecto-plasm.
"Get that away from me!" Eduardo yells angrily. The other GBs look at him, confused by his reaction.
"Eddy! EDDY! Get a hold of yourself!" Garrett yells, trying to calm his friend down.
"Get back, I hate you all!" Eduardo yells. Peter starts crying.
"What the?" Winston mumbles.
"What did they do to Slimer?" Peter asks through a torrent of tears.
"What's going on?" Roni asks, frightened at what is happening.
"Eduardo! What's the matter with you?" Kylie asks, slowly inching closer to him, "Eduardo, what's the matter? Let me help you."
"No!" Eduardo yells charging at her. Jay & Greg quickly run to his side and hold him down.
"Wait-a-second..." Ray mumbles, seeing the pinkish glow emitting from the green slime on Peter and Eduardo.
"Get their shirts off!" Ray yells.
"What?" Roland asks, "why?"
"Of course!" Egon says.
"Just do it!" Winston yells, realizing why Ray ordered what he did.
Jay and Greg hold Eduardo back as Roland and Garrett rip his slime covered shirt off. He falls limp in their arms. They quickly lay him down where Kylie sits next to him, and run over to Peter who sits in the corner in a black t-shirt and white boxers, his brown GB uniform lying in a heap on the floor.
"What was that all about?" Kim asks. Egin grabs his PKE meter and scans the remains of Eduardo's slime covered shirt.
"The ecto-plasm from Slimer has been merged with something else. But these readings are too out of whack to figure out what." Egon states. Jay quickly remembers something and runs downstairs.
"Where's he off to?" Janine asks.
"When ya gotta go ya gotta go I guess." Roland states.
"Egon, you don't think that slime could be...you know." Ray asks.
"From what just happened now I'm almost completely positive it could be." Egon states. Winston nods, knowing what they are talking about. Jay runs back in carrying the slime sample he collected from Janine's attack.
"Think you can get a definite reading from this?" Jay asks, handing the sample to Egon. Winston and Ray look at the slime as if it were a curse, and to them, it is.
"Oh no." Egon mumbles as he looks at the readings, "Jay, where'd you get this?"
"When Janine attacked us...this slime burst out from a fire hydrant." Jay explains, "why?"
"It's as I feared, I think Vigo is back." Egon states. Peter stands up, "You don't think he'll be after Dana again do you?"
"I'm not sure, but just to be sure you better find her." Egon states. Eduardo sits up zippung up his vest.
"Who's this Dana?" Garrett asks.
"Dana Barrett, back in '84 she and her neighbor Louis Tully were posessed by terror dogs and became the people responsible for the coming of Gozer. Five years later her son, Oscar, was called upon to be the vessel for Vigo's spirit." Ray quickly explains.
"Ok, we need some of us to go down to the sewers to try and track the slime, if there even is a river of slime this time." Egon states, "and we'll need to charge the equipment. We all used up a lot of energy against Stay-Puft."
"Hold it!" Winston yells, "before we start running off in diffrent directions we should organize who's going where."
"I'll go see Dana and Oscar, make sure they're ok." Peter states standing up.
"I'll go with him." Jay states.
"Me too." Eduardo says. Kylie and Roni nod too each other, "we are too."
"Ok, you five go make sure Oscar and Dana are ok." Egon states, "I'll stay here and work with the equipment."
"I'll help." Ray states, putting a hand on his old friend's shoulder. "If it's got to do with the equipment I'm in." Roland states.
"Same here." Greg adds.
The phone rings, "I'll take care of the calls." Janine states, heading downstaires.
"And we'll go see if we can track that ecto-plasm." Winston states.
"You bet." Heather adds.
"Sure." Kim says.
"O...goody, we get to track a river of slime." Garrett says sarcastically, "and I just polished my wheels."
