The ecto-1 pulled up in front of the gates of Charlotte's Church's graveyard. The moon shun on what of the bronze was left showing on the gates. Spot stood in front of the gates growling.
The four Ghostbusters urgently got out of the car. They put on their proton packs and blew open the gate.
Spot ran in the lead and sprinted into the graveyard. The Ghostbusters ran after him.
It was difficult to keep up with a demon dog from hell, but catching ghosts had helped.
On the way, they passed gravestones, half dead trees and the moon seemed to follow them, like it wanted to see who would win. The Ghostbusters or Father Evil.
Ray was right on Spot's tail. He had almost fallen more than once. His eyes never left Spot's back. If anyone could find Charlotte, it was Spot.
Though he blamed himself. He was determined to fix his mistake. Even if he had to go to the ghost world, he was going to get back Charlotte.
Spot stopped in front of a gray stone crypt. On top of the crypt was a stone angel with bat wings. She was crying red water.
"This is weird," said Peter, putting two figures under the angel's eyes. "This is real blood."
"Let's hope it's not Charlottes," said Ray, blasting open the door.
The door blew into the crypt.
"Ray before was go any further you should take a look at this," said Egon, gesturing toward the top of the crypt.
Ray backed up and shined his flashlight on the message. His stomach dropped like a penny of the Eiffel tower.
"Here lye George and Mary Starkey, Loving parents and spouses," Winston read out loud.
"Charlotte's parents," said Peter.
"Come on," said Ray walking into the darkness. He flashed his light around the crypt. Two caskets on each side.
Spot was toward the middle back of the room. He was snarling at the floor.
Ray walked over to Spot. On the floor was an outline of a little door with rusted hinges, and a brass handle.
"It looks like there's a hatch," said Ray. "Help me get it open."
Egon and Winston helped Ray open the hatch while Peter held the flashlight.
When the hatch was up it was more darkness.
"I would love to go with you guys, but I have an appointment," said Peter, backing up.
"Come on," said Egon. "There appears' to be a latter,"
"Is it stable?" asked Winston.
"Only one way to find out," said Ray as he climbed down the latter. Spot jumped in after him. Egon and Winston went down next. Peter groaned before following them.
Ray saw a red glow from about half way down the latter. He quickened his pace, then decided to just slide down.
He landed on the ground with a thud. Ray walked up to Spot who was sniffing the ground. Egon and the rest of the gang walked up behind them. Ray looked around his surroundings.
It was a dark, carved out cavern. The only light that was in the carven was three torches on each side of the walls. Charlotte's symbol was painted on all over the cavern in dark red and black paint. There was a doorway without a door. Which was also very dark.
Spot walked through the dark doorway. The four Ghostbusters went after him.
They turned on their flashlights again and looked around the next room. Peter's light landed on a unlit torch. He walked up to it and lit it with a lighter from his pocket.
This cavern was considerably smaller that the first one. It only took one torch to light the entire room.
A blonde was tied up at one corner of the room.
"Eleanor?" asked Egon, running up to her.
She looked up at him. Her green eyes shimmered in the light. Her head nodded vigorously. Egon removed the gag from her mouth.
"You have to hurry. They took Charlotte down that way," Eleanor motioned with her head to the doorway to another darkroom. But this one seemed more like a tunnel.
Egon finished untying the rope. Eleanor jumped into him and kissed him on the lips.
He was taken aback by the kiss, but before he could really enjoy it she pulled back.
"Be careful," she said.
"The ecto-1 is parked by the front gates. Go through that hall way and up the latter," said Ray. She nodded and disappeared through the doorway.
Egon cleared his throat uncomfortably. Peter looked wide eyed and his mouth open a little at Egon.
"Let's go," said Ray. Peter snapped out of his trance. The Ghostbusters ran into the darkness.
They ran down the dark hall way. It became slightly lighter as they approached another door. But it was much larger and there was no darkness past it.
A black robed figure had been standing over a pale figure on a stone table. The figure in black robes had his hand over the pale figure's body chanting/mumbling the spell from the book, which was on a stone stand to the black figures left.
Purple beams were coming from the robed figures hands. The pale figure was squirming. The priest was draining Charlotte of her power.
Six other robed figures, physically equal, watched as they chanted words the Ghostbusters could not hear nor understand.
Furry rose in Ray. His hands tighten around the gun of his proton pack. He was about to fire at the priest.
The robed figure that was draining Charlotte looked up to see four men with glowing boxes on their backs.
"Get them!" commanded the robed figure, interrupting his spell. But imminently continued.
The other figures jumped out of their robes. They were purple, legless ghosts.
The four Ghostbusters fired at the ghosts. They fought, hard. But, thanks to the upgrade Egon put on the proton packs it was easier to catch them. But as they went into the trap there color began to fade. Like they just disappeared.
As the chants got louder, Charlotte got stiller. Spot was nowhere to be seen.
Ray began to worry about Charlotte. But he was still pissed as hell.
Peter, Ray, and Winston were about to fire at the priest when Egon yelled,"Don't! The priest and Charlotte are connected now. We may hurt her too!"
"What now?" asked Peter.
The priest stumbled back. Something was around his neck. It looked like a black belt. The priest turned slightly. Eleanor was strangling him.
The priest shook her off and she went flying against the wall.
"The link is broken! Hit em' with everything you've got!" shouted Egon.
Four lighting beams shot from the proton packs. They all hit the priest on this chest and stomach. He flew against a different wall. However he quickly regained himself.
The robe had burned off. He looked like Bane from Batman.
Spot jumped from a dark corner and jumped on the priests back. He tried to shake him off, but that kind of hard when a demon dog is digging its teeth into your neck.
The three Ghostbusters fired at the priest again.
Ray ran over to Charlotte who was coming around. "Ray?"
"Are you okay?" he asked. Relief flowed through him at the sound of her voice.
"Yeah," she said as she tried to get up.
"I've got you," he said as he prepared to pick her up.
"Wait," she said looking at the priest. His powers drained as she became more aware. He was almost back to his normal size when a purple light illuminated Charlotte's hands.
She raised her hands and pointed them at the priest. Two explosive beams, much like proton pack beams, emerged from them. The bolts wrapped around the priest. He was raised into the air.
Ray's heart began race again like he was running. He had to look away the light was so bright.
"No I won't tell," protested the priest, without an Irish ascent. He sounded more like he was from Brooklyn. He no longer had red hair, but a deep dark brown black. And he had a scar over his right eye.
He squirmed much like Charlotte did only moments ago.
"But you must," said Charlotte, with a much darker sinister voice almost next to it.
The priests face suddenly turned sinister. "Yes it was me. All of it. I killed George and Mary. I told all of the families and children to hate you. Or else. I killed the real Father McCoy. You see Charlotte, you are a special girl. A very special girl."
"You were going to turn her into a weapon," snapped Peter. "You really are a dick."
"I was going to have her kill you first Peter," the priest shouted darkly. He turned back to Charlotte. "We could rule this world and others. We could-," before the priest could finish his cliché speech. A dark portal opened beneath his feet. He pleaded and begged for his life. But all Charlotte did was lower him.
A satin like demon came head first out of the hole. "You really screwed this up. Time to go home Father," he said simply. He looked at Peter, "till next time." He pulled the priest down.
The priest swore he'd be back.
'Yeah right,' thought Peter.
The portal closed.
Charlotte with her hands still with the purple glow, raised them at the three Ghostbusters, and a blast came from them.
The three men jumped out of the way, hitting the ground hard.
"Ray she's your friend!" shouted Peter, as he backed further away from the girl with the deadly hands.
"Charlotte. Charlotte!" said Ray in a slightly harsher tone.
The blinding glow from her hands faded. Her arms fell. Her eyes rolled back into her head like they did when she crossed over a ghost.
Ray cautiously walked over to her. He watched her slouch back into a sitting position. Her hair fell over her face. Charlotte just sat there.
She heard his footsteps and turned around.
Charlotte jumped into his arms and sobbed loudly. She cried into his shoulder, as he rubbed her back.
"Shhh," he said. "It's all over." His heart beat slowed. But they weren't out yet.
Egon was tending to Eleanor. He picked her up bridal style. Her blonde hair had a red dark spot on it. She was still knocked out.
Spot trotted like a horse, up to Charlotte sniffed her foot and lightly licked it. He sat down next to Ray and looked up at him. Spot had a strait look on his face but Ray could tell that he respected him. Even if Charlotte told him to or not, Ray was the one who saved his master.
Ray put a hand firmly on her back and tucked an arm under her legs. Her crying had softened. Ray could tell she was falling asleep by the way her head leaned on him more.
"Great, now that the bad guy is in hell, where he should be, how do we get the girls up the latter?" asked Peter.
The seven of them, two being carried, walked through the dark hallways and up to the latter.
Egon told Peter and Winston to get the rope and hook from the back of the ecto-1 and tie it to the bumper. They nodded and climbed the latter. Spot was able to jump up the latter.
A few minutes later a rope came dangling down with a metal hook.
Egon and Eleanor went first because her injuries were more severe. Her hair was covered in blood. He said it was a scratch, and she may need stitches. He had pressed a rag from his pocket and put it over the wound.
Egon held her with one hand and held onto the rope with the other. He put one foot on the hook. He tugged the rope as a signal to go up. They were slowly pulled up. The sound of the ecto-1 backing up was faint. As Egon and Eleanor were being pulled up, they were twirling slightly. Soon they were out of view.
Ray gazed at Charlotte. Her breathes were slow and steady. She was sleeping. He hoped her dreams were peaceful. He looked at her dress.
Charlotte's dress was black. It was very long. Even though Ray was carrying her, the bottom of the dress brushed the floor. It was a one shoulder dress. The shoulder with the mark on it was still there. The mark was darker, like someone had gone over it with a sharpie.
The rope came down. Ray did the same thing Egon did. He tugged on it. As the rope pulled them up, Ray wondered what will happen next.
