- chapter 20 - The Final Demon - Part 1
It had been an hour long appointment but the DNA didn't lie... Mimi Horoki was indeed Lucy's biological mother just like she said. However to keep her only family safe Lucy suggested she stay at a hotel with some of her petty cash. When the two gave each other a goodbye hug the daughter began her exit of the building. Upon entering the parking lot Lucy Spengler AKA Kaede Horoki took one last look at the Steel Sakura Hotel before talking to no one but herself. "Keep safe mom. I'll be back."

Back at the Inn Lucy was upstairs helping out the likes of Kouta on his trigonometry from his mathematics class. However his door was shut while they talked amongst themselves. Again however their spoken dialogue suggested something else was going on.
Interestingly Kouta and Kanae's father had stopped by the place... however he quickly took notice of the very high tech looking ambulance hearse a very out of place vehicle in a place like the inn. But the strange "No-Ghost" insignia brought back strange feelings of deja vu like he'd seen it somewhere. He opened the door and was greeted by his daughter and neice.
"Daddy how've you been?" Kanae said practicaly tackling him into a hug which Yuka copied.
"Uncle Koji it's good to see you... but you're here early." Yuka said doing the same.
"Good to see you too then thought I'd come early... are you kids hosting a party here or something?" The older man said looking around the living seeing a large number of people there. Three of young grade school kids, two of which had bright pink hair, red eyes and what appeared to be strangely small cat-ear shaped horns. A few other kids were there too but they looked to be American transfer students. He noticed his son wasn't present however. "Um I seem to be missing that son of mine... where's Kouta gone to?"
"I can answer that err we both can. My name's Egon Spengler this is my err rather our secretary Janine Melnitz. You're likely wondering who we are and why we're all here. We're the Extreme Ghostbusters." Egon introduced himself as well as his redheaded secretary Janine.
"Yes I see. Hmm I'd best find him." Her father said as he walked fairly quickly up the stairs to his son's room.
"Daddy! Dad come back he's busy!" Kanae yelled out as she sped after him.
-upstairs
"No Kouta that's a big hole." Lucy's voice said from behind Kouta's door.
"Well I'm about to strike a hole in one." He replied.
Kouta's father happened to hear them conversing behind the door... he thought something was up. He'd heard of the Ghostbusters the supposed "Superheroes of the Supernatural". He'd heard rumors that ghosts had been rampaging throughout town but he didn't pay it any attention since frankly he didn't believe in the paranormal and if he was labeled not enlightened enough so too bad so sad.
"Alright Kouta I'd like straight answers... " His father said throwing open the door only to see them working on what appeared to be his son's mathematics.
"Kouta Lucy I tried to stop him... but dad insisted." Kanae tried to apologize as their father had stopped by to see how they doing.
"Uh son... care to explain... err this." He somewhat stammered after he saw his instincts were wrong. He was in that type of situation where he made a huge ass goof while making an ass out of himself in the process.
"Um a little privacy sir I was helping your son in his trigonometry." Lucy said getting into a huff. "What did you think we were doing? Hmmm?"
"Son I have to ask how did... how'd you all... " He stammered again trying to spill out just how his children and niece came to know the fabled Ghostbusters.
Lucy sensed his confusion afterall if she was in his shoes she'd demand answers too but she also sensed Kouta's father was a reasonable and fair man so she gave him a few options for explaining herself and what had happened at the Inn. "Um ok first off do you want the long version or short version? The long version entails my personal history along with Nana and Mariko's past the short version just involves how Yuka, Kouta, and your daughter Kanae came to meet us."
"Uh I might want both considering I've no clue what in the hell's going on here." He replied.
"Good response both parts are important to the whole story. This might take some time care to sit and take a load off in the den?" Lucy asked pleasantly which the older man took notice of at least she was respectful unlike Kanae's high school crush who was a grade A jerk.

Kouta's father listened intently to the strange chain of events that'd strung the two groups together from the GB taking her in, the emergence of Achira, the worm ghost on the beachfront, the slime river and the overhanging dread of Tarnok. The details of Lucy slash Kaede Horoki along with the fellow resident Diclonii Nana and Mariko. She told of her mother's influenced descision to to leave her at the orphanage and go into hiding. The elder man's brow went up upon hearing the details about the horned race, mind you he'd heard strange things in his life but this was one of the strangest by far. However the rumored deadliness of their vector arms hit a parental protective issue. "Ok how do I know you won't use these... vectors on me or my Kanae or even my son?"
"Because I love him and Nana and Mariko love being here they shouldn't be locked up like animals. They're not like the others they should live free and experience the world because they've one thing their compatriots lack... a heart. I've become attached to them since I'm the start of their race I'm by technicality their mother."
However the issues with Mayu's deceased family along with her recently found mother were even stranger especially how Lucy had handled them like a logical and responsible manner like an adult. Lucy had a caring easy going personality but could be strong, independant, as well as brave.
"Hello. Ahem if I... " Said a voice which revealed the pudgey green ghostly form of Slimer who phased up from the floor.
Adjusting his glasses a bit he stared at the strange green pudgey thing as if trying to make sense of whatever it was he was staring at. "Uh... what is this thing... ?"
"It's ok Mr. Okomoto they don't worry they don't exist. Nah, nah I'm kidding with you sir this is Slimer he's like our mascot." Lucy half joked but it was clear by this point Mr. Okomoto was even more confused.
"Correct me if I'm wrong isn't it bizarre that ghost exterminators have a ghostly mascot?" He pointed out bringing up a very good point.
"Some might call us wierd, eccentric, sick, bizarre, crazy, but there's a very, very good reason why he's here with us... According to Peter Venkman back in '84 after the Gozer case..." Miss Spengler relayed from what Peter told her all those years ago in '93.
-sometime later
Once Lucy had finished her relaying of Peter's story to Mr. Okomoto she awaited his verdict of his opinion of the whole thing. It was to most people a very well crafted tale but the older man stole a glance at his niece, son and younger daughter he saw they weren't showing any signs of lying or disceitfulness plus he wasn't taking any medications for hallucinations and he wasn't drunk so what the kids were telling him must be true. "Kouta my boy are you sure you want to get involved with somebody from this profession what would the rest of the family say? Not everyone has kind words about the Extreme Ghostbusters."
"Let them think it Dad and I ask why not? She's brilliant, educated, selfless, caring, stern, and most importantly employed... and frankly the most beautiful girl I've ever seen. No college girl can compete with her. Her exotic pink hair, those ruby eyes and cute horns are what drew me to her mystique." The words Kouta said made Lucy's heart melt... he really loved her and she loved him back. She also blushed a bit from his flattery.
"Kouta stop it you're embarrassing me." She half whined playfully poking him in his ribs.
"Well before I head back to the hotel Kouta I'd like to see some this psychomagnum... psychomagnus... whatever the hell is called." The older man said wanting to see the slime.
"Psycho-magnetheric. I think we can do that... The final battle's comin' I just know we're about to get real busy soon." Kylie said as she went about fetching the glowing blue slime from it's sound retarding metal container. It was a steel that blocked all audio waves that tried passing through its metallic structure keeping the stuff safe from random insults that sometimes polluted the air of the inn.
Opening the metallic box and the eyes of Mr. Okomoto were in amazement as he stared at the strange glowing blue stuff. Garrett gave a smirk to the older man as if letting go first. "Go ahead try it yell something at it this'll knock yer socks off."
"You! You ignorant vial of sludge you make want to toss my cookies all over you and you stink like a piece of roadkill!" He yelled toward it as it bubbled and gurgled at him very much angry.
The father of the two siblings was beyond impressed. "Amazing simply amazing."
"In the meantime I need to get to finishing the new prototype proton packs. C'mon Roland we're nearly finished with 'em." Lucy said finally getting her composure back as went outside to the small area behind the building.
"Uh err right." Roland replied as he took one last look at Kouta's father while he amused himself by cursing at the slime sample and followed after the rosette.
-facility - Kurama's office
Meanwhile at the institute the game was still afoot that is Tarnok had absorbed enough negative energy from the slime river the wall plaque he was resting on started cracking as the ruby encrusted eye pieces shattered as the glowing red demonic eyes of Taronk shot open. He'd awoken after well over a few centuries of inactivity and he was royally pissed so much that he roared a loud unholy roar that shook the air of the building. "RAAAAAAWWWWRRRRRR!"
"Finally after years of imprisonment I have awakened to reap terror across Japan! Kurama you fool you've no idea what you've unleashed!" Tarnok proclaimed loudly as he broke into a loud thundering laugh. "AHAHAH! NAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!"
-to be continued
Ok so this chapter wasn't very exciting... but this is the set-up of the four parter. Next part Taronk awakens and goes ape-shit on the institute and faculty. I hope every character... well has stayed in character here. You've likely noticed Lucy is the focal point of the story... well you're right because she is. It's her growth from a lonely little girl where no one cares about her to the nerdy preteen leader of the EGB then to an adult who finds someone to love her like everyone should. She's proven herself superior to Yuka at every turn but not gloating over it... she's won Kouta by respect, his respect for her and her good qualities.
