Start Your Engines Chapter 21: Ghostbusters vs WHAT?!
DeadlyDemon122: Why you change your name? It's 2200 words, not that short. But this chapter, gonna have some Ghostbuster action!
VickyT36: Well, I hope this wait isn't too long.
SwizzleMalarkeyFan: Well, if you've seen Ghostbusters 1, you might know what happens in this chapter.
Lord Candycane: Like I said before, watch Shawshank Redemption my friend. And welcome to the official Herschel Nougatson fan club!
Dixie Darlin': They don't have HIM to worry about. They have to worry about hurting Vanellope. But of course, if you've played the Ghostbusters game from 2009, you'll know what they can do about possessions. And no crosses or Bibles needed. But Faith, that's one thing they need to keep.
So, I was thinking, two chapters of the massive fight against Turbo's Ghost, that would bring us to 22 chapters, then one short chapter about Minty confessing what she did plus the racer's reactions. Then one on an overview of Herschel's entire story, and then a surprising finale which would mark a new milestone of 25 chapters.
OMG you guys are AWESOME! Only three reviews and triple digit review heaven I'm in. I never really thought it would reach over 20 chapters, but with the ideas that kept flowing, I'm able to keep writing. But unless some other ideas come in, I've only got four maybe five chapters left. Again, thanks to everyone who keep reviewing, and I hope this is good enough for ya. BTW, please check out my newest poll and if you're curious, checkout my Upcoming Stories section on my profile.
(Resuming from the Chapter 20 cliffhanger)
"Oh, it's not me you should be worried about," Turbellope chuckled evilly.
"LOOK OUT!" Egon shouted and armed his proton stream, ready to fire. His three fellow Ghostbusters performed the same action as him, but were stopped by Ralph. The giant 9 foot wrecker jumped in the way, defending Turbellope.
"Ralph, what are you doing? Why are you defending him?" Winston asked confusingly.
"Guys, if you try to hurt Turbo, you'll just be hurting Vanellope!" Ralph exclaimed, "if you blast him, all you'll do is damage Vanellope's body," he told them. The four ghostbusters lowered their proton packs and sighed in defeat.
"He's right guys," Egon said sadly, "we can't risk hurting Vanellope, but there may be something we can do, all we have to do is- GAH!" Egon shouted as he was whisked away by an invisible force.
"EGON!" Peter shouted, "all right Turbo, what'd you do with our friend Egon?" He demanded, "you better talk or else," he added on a threat. The floating spectra grinned Vanellope's face and cackled, so evilly it made Calhoun turn white with fright.
"I told you fools it wasn't me you should be worried about," Turbellope said again, yet this time, he said it with much more demonic possessiveness. This time, it was Ray that was suddenly lifted up and tossed into the darkness with Egon.
"What have you done with our friends you psycho puss bucket?" Winston demanded. Suddenly, 18 glowing orbs surrounded Turbellope, like floating flashlights, but the lights were rotating in a clockwise fashion. Felix took a step back, gloved hand over his mouth in complete and utter shock.
"Good sweet Mod," Calhoun whispered out, she too in a state of shock.
"It-it can't be," Ralph muttered out as the blood drained from his face, making it pale as a vampire's face. Standing before them and behind Turbellope, were all the racers minus Minty, who was still locked up.
"What do you think of my army?" Turbellope asked and floated his way around the remaining good guys. His puppets slowly walked forward and grabbed Peter and Winston, but they had none of it.
"GET OFF OF US!" Peter yelled and shoved the racers away. The racers hissed and pounced on the two remaining Ghostbusters, lifting their proton packs and PKE meters off of them.
"You don't understand, we have to obey our master," Taffyta said in a droning voice.
"Okay that's fucking creepy," Ralph said as he backed into the door. He jumped slightly when the pounding intensified on the door.
"LET US IN GUYS!" Herschel yelled as he kicked at the door. Swizzle, Gloyd and Sticky were all getting tired from pounding on the door, and they wanted to rest, but Herschel knew they had to press on to save their friends and their home. Ralph quickly punched at the door, putting a good sized hole in the middle, but just large enough for the four avatars to crawl through. "Thanks Ralph," Herschel commented as he helped his friends and girlfriend in through.
"Holy shit, what did he do to our friends?!" Swizzle exclaimed when he saw glowing red eyes of the Sugar Rushers as they pounced on Felix and Calhoun.
"Get back you little maggots!" Calhoun yelled as she punched and kicked her way out of the dog pile on top of her. "Felix!" She yelled as she tried to stand up, "your hammer!" She exclaimed.
"Right!" Felix replied as he reached for his hammer, but all his right hand grabbed was empty air. "Oh no," Felix whispered as the realization hit him. The Fixer looked up and saw Torvald running away with his precious Golden Hammer.
"Looking for this?" Turbellope chuckled and grinned.
"GIVE IT BACK NOW!" Ralph threatened and stomped over to Turbellope before remembering he would only be hurting his daughter.
"Now that we have an understanding, there are gonna be some changes around here," Turbellope paced around the group. "But first," he continued and snapped his fingers. Taffyta and Crumbelina grabbed the arms of Peter and Winston and drug them away, kicking and screaming.
"SLIME KIDS, SLIME!" Winston yelled as he and Peter were drug off into the darkness of the Castle.
"Why, why are you doing this? And how did you come back from the dead?" Ralph demanded as Turbellope circled around him.
"Oh, that's a story for the ages," Turbellope whispered, "and since you have no where to go," he continued and gave a slight nod to his new henchmen who tied up Ralph, Felix, Calhoun, Swizzle, Herschel, Gloyd and Sticky, "you'll have time to hear it," he finished and threw a lighter into the fireplace, illuminating the room. The tied up game characters gasped when they saw all four Ghostbusters tied up and hanging from the ceiling with nooses around their necks and gags tied around their mouths. "And once I finish my story, the heat from the fire will break the rope holding them up, and their necks will be broken, and they will cease to exist," Turbellope chuckled evilly. "And do you know what my favorite part of possession is?" Turbellope asked. The group again shook their heads before Turbellope continued, "well, see if you can guess," he said and then curled his fingers around Vanellope's breasts.
"HEY! THOSE ARE MINE!" Rancis shouted before noticing that everyone was staring at him, save for Ralph who was glaring, "Uh and Nelly's of course," Rancis nervously covered up.
"You are one sick fuck, you know that?" Herschel asked the villain. Turbellope gave the classic King Candy chuckle before stopping immediately as he began to spin his yarn.
"It was 26 years ago, Mod what a year 1987 was," Turbellope reminisced a flashback, "Mannequin was the newest blockbuster movie and Def Leppard released their best album 'Hysteria,' but that was also the year that those fucking losers from Road Blasters were plugged in," Turbellope grimaced.
"And that was when you went 'Turbo'," Felix added for him. Turbellope growled and smacked Felix across the face.
"Silence Maggot!" He screeched and continued his story, "I was always the greatest racer ever, but they showed up and stole my thunder; I could've raced circles around those fools, and I had to get rid of them one way or another, so I chose to kill them, and then I had to hide out for about 10 years until a new racing game appeared in the arcade," Turbellope continued before being interrupted again.
"Sugar Rush, the easiest target for you since it was full of kids," Sticky intruded with a victorious smirk on her face. Turbellope gritted his teeth and smacked her on the cheek, forcing a yelp from her, but inciting anger from Herschel.
"DON'T YOU TOUCH HER!" Hershcel threatened.
"Anyway," Turbellope said angrily, "I took the game over for 15 years and then this fat tub of fuck," the possessed body pointed to the wrecker, "had to meddle into things and ruin it all for me and I was burned away by Cola lava, and there I lay for a year," Turbellope paused dramatically, "do you know what it's like, being in Video Game Hell?" Turbellope asked the group who shook their heads in unison. "It was torture, living there with morons like Mylon from Mylon's Secret Castle and E.T. from the worst video game ever made!" He shrieked. "But then, this nice little girl who looks like you," Turbellope pointed to Sticky, "performed this nice little spell that brought me back as a ghost; I can become fully alive again, but it takes a blood sacrifice, and you," the possessed body pointed to Herschel, "you're the newest and your spirit is nice and ripe, you'll make the perfect sacrifice to make me walk amongst living again," he said evilly and licked his lips as his fingers curled around Herschel's chin.
"NO FUCKING WAY SLEAZEBALL!" Sticky shouted at Turbellope.
"Oh? And what are you going to do about it you little slut?" Turbellope asked.
"NOW!" Sticky shouted as Ralph broke through the ropes and tossed Sticky a proton pack. She fired at Turbellope, who forgot he wouldn't be hurt and dodged the beam. But the particle beam cut the four nooses around the Ghostbuster's necks, freeing them. Ralph jumped over the group and caught the paranormal experts just in time and untied them.
"Thanks Ralph," Egon thanked and grabbed his proton pack. Sticky handed Winston his and the four Ghostbusters suited up.
"GET THEM!" Turbellope ordered his henchmen who lunged at the group.
"We can't fight our friends guys!" Gloyd yelled. Peter chuckled and patted Gloyd's back.
"Don't worry there Halloweenie, we got this covered," he joked as he and his fellow friends clicked a green button on their proton beams which caused a tube of green slime to pop out of the top of the packs.
"FIRE!" Ray shouted as he and the rest of the Ghostbusters fired their packs. The slime shot out and covered all the mind controlled racers. Turbellope shrieked as he felt his power begin to weaken over them.
"NOOOOOOO!" Turbellope yelled as his control of the racers was completely broken.
"That's some slime," Rancis commented as the racers shook their heads and looked down in disgust.
"EWWWW, what is on my Louis Vuitton jacket?" Crumbelina demanded.
"Now, for mister cry-baby over here," Egon said as the four proton beams were aimed at Turbellope. All four fired at once and directly hit Turbellope's body. The body started glow and arise even higher in the air. Then, the body began to shake violently before Turbo was expelled from the body. Vanellope fell from the sky and Rancis leaped up from the ground and caught her in the nick of time bridal style.
"Hmmm whaaa? Rancis, where am I?" Vanellope asked.
"Oh Nelly, I missed you so much!" Rancis said and buried his face in Vanellope's shoulder as he hugged her.
"Where did I go?" Vanellope asked confusingly.
"You were part of a level five demonic possession, but don't worry, you're fine now," Egon explained while he adjusted his glasses.
"That's what you think!" Turbo yelled before flying out of the castle.
"AFTER HIM!" Winston shouted as every single person in the castle chased after Turbo's ghost.
"Gentleman, PKE Meters up," Ray stated. All four devices were produced, and the Ghostbusters led the way.
"So, how do you feel Vanellope? Are you okay?" Ralph asked to make sure his daughter was feeling alright.
"Y-yeah, just a little woozy," Vanellope replied and felt her head.
"You're one tough cookie soldier, I'd be proud to have you fight along side me one day," Calhoun complimented Vanellope.
"I'm sure glad you're okay Vanilla," Felix chimed in and patted her leg, "what was it like being possessed?" He asked. Vanellope pursed her lips, thinking hard. She then rubbed her temples and sighed exasperatedly.
"I really don't know Uncle Felix," Vanellope replied and slapped her arms back to her sides, "one minute, I'm cuddling with Flugs over there, and then the next, I'm falling from the sky in the foyer; I can't remember a damn thing while I was possessed," she told the fixer.
"Well, here's the short version," Sticky piped up and walked backwards in front of Vanellope, "you got possessed, Hershey, Gloyd and Swizzle got thrown in the Fungeon, where they tunneled out and met up with me to find the Ghostbusters," she told her president.
"Oh, well that makes sense then," Vanellope joked and rolled her eyes. Suddenly, all four PKE meters started to beep loudly.
"Quiet, he's around here somewhere," Egon silenced the group. The four Ghostbusters took the lead and spread out to find Turbo. Suddenly, Turbo's ghost flew overhead and dove into the chocolate lake where Ralph and Vanellope had landed in when the volcano erupted.
"What in the fuck was that about?" Herschel asked as he made his way over to the edge of the lake.
"GET AWAY FROM THERE!" Egon shouted and yanked Herschel away as his PKE meter started going off the fritz and smoking. The lake gurgled up and a giant chocolate hand reached out. Everyone backed away in fear as a fifty foot tall Turbo pulled himself out of the lake and smiled down at the group.
"Welcome to the FINAL BOSS LEVEL!" His voice boomed over the game.
