LAAAAdeeDAAA, I think everyone should go take a stroll outside today. I, ElwynCLark, own Ellen and the girls, and their friends. I don't own the guys or our friend Oscar.

9:43 PM

"He looks like a guy." I said as we stood there staring at Belas. Who was obviously in the form of a man, maybe he's a man in K though. None of us really know.

"I feel so gross right now you have no idea." Jo moaned. "Hey, do you know what your stupid spud did to me?" She directed that remark to Belas and he just looked at her like she was insane.

"Jo Venkman," Belas said and Jo looked scared. "Yes I know who you are, I know who all of you are" He started walking around our circle. "I gave you all a chance to go away peacefully and never cause trouble with K again, but here we are. You all sure aren't leaving without a fight, and this means it all comes to an end tonight."

"Ellen," I heard Manny say softly. He had made his way over slowly to Sydney and me. I hope the shield is down or whatever it is. "Yeah, it's gone. It was like writer's block." I smiled and tried to look like I was paying attention to Belas. "Your friend there wants to get the most influential people out of us. Your dads and whoever else, because he thinks that anyone else still here will be mentally unfit." Well that's soothing, I thought and Manny nodded.

"You can fight me, I don't care. Put me into one of those boxes you call traps." Belas said and the trap dangling from my utility belt felt like a hundred pounds. "I'm here to rid this world of all Ghostbusters past and present, maybe even future. Because in the future there will be no Ghostbusters." I glanced at Sydney expecting her to be a mess but she had this battle stare on her face.

"Each of you will be removed permanently, the easy way or the hard way." Belas continued.

"What's the difference?" Delilah asked.

"The hard way, I condemn you to K for eternity by forcing you through that portal, or the easy way I kill you now and you die going straight to K." Belas said. I could hear Delilah gulp from the other side of the circle.

"I can't take this anymore." Peter yelled and blasted him with his stream and everyone followed suit.

"You can blast me all you want with those streams and mood slime, nothing can alter me." Belas said and he continued to stand there as we tried to move the unmovable man. I noticed Jo go over to Oscar.

"Hey, you bum. Get up." Jo said. Oscar didn't respond. I pulled back my stream and walked over to Jo as everyone continued firing.

"You ok?" I asked Oscar and he didn't respond. Jo shrugged and knelt on the ground next to him and took off her gloves. She checked his pulse on his neck and we both waited in silence. Everyone's attention was on firing at Belas still.

"Ellen" Jo said as she stood up. "He's dead." Jo looked at me and I could see a tear coming from her eye.

"Jo, don't cry." I said and I held her shoulder. She pushed my hand off and put her gloves back on with disgust. "Wait Jo, what are you doing?" Jo pulled her wand from her pack and fixed the stream to go at its highest level. "Jo, don't do this."

"He has to be punished, he killed my brother." Jo said. She started to aim. "Well half brother, but my brother still. And that means he's in K dimension, or on his way there." I just watched Jo and remained speechless. "Close your mouth Ellen, the flies are coming in."

"You can't just shoot him!" I said.

"Yes I can, watch me." Jo said and she turned on the pack. Immediately she fired at Belas. With the combination of all the blasts before and Jo's jumbo blast, Belas fell to the ground. Jo pulled back her stream and gave me a look. Everyone pulled back their streams by now. Jo walked up to me and gave me a hug. "You know, I needed someone over here to tell me that I couldn't do that because then I never would have."

"Yes you would." I said. "Your brother is dead." I glanced at Oscar who looked like he was sleeping. Jo looked at me like she forgot then she looked at Oscar on the ground then back at Belas. Without saying anything Jo ran at full speed right at Belas and kicked him in the face. Belas grabbed Jo's ankle and quickly stood up. He was holding her upside down by one foot, with her head just grazing the edge of the portal.

"You are such a foolish child." Belas said and he glared at Jo. She kicked him again with her free leg. Belas looked at us then pretended to drop her.

"No!" Peter yelled. He ran to where Belas was holding Jo and tried to rescue her by grabbing her. But Belas had a hold on Jo the whole time and Peter went straight through the portal.

"Are you serious?" I asked and I walked back to Sydney where Egon was asking her something.

"Dad, I remember everything you tell me." Sydney said and Egon nodded. He walked by me to Dad and Winston. They seemed to agree on something without any warning all three of them ran jumped into the portal. Sydney looked nervous.

"I have no idea what they're doing." Sydney whispered to me.

"Dad!" Delilah shrieked and she seemed to run forward but Buster stopped her.

"You're not going through!" Buster yelled and he held Delilah back. The portal started to spin and grow a bit dimmer. It was starting to shrink and close.

"My work here is done." Belas said as he looked at us. "Your fathers are gone forever. This portal will be forever closed on both sides. No more Ghostbusters." He flung Jo over his back and she dangled there with her arms hanging down reaching for us. Belas started into the shrinking portal.

"I love you New York, I'll be back some day!" Jo yelled then she started shrieking because Belas almost dropped her. Manny ran up to her quickly and tried to pull her back though by her hands but the winds around the portal were too strong. So was Belas. Manny and Jo disappeared into the portal. I heard my voice try to say something but no words would come out. The portal shrunk quickly to a softball sized dot then vanished completely and caused a huge wind. I looked away from the center than back once the wind stopped.

"They're gone." I said. What the hell just happened? I walked to where the portal was and stood there. I sunk down to my knees and sat there on the ground. For once, everything in New York seemed silent. The crowds around the barricade were silent, the jumbo-trons were silent, even the constant engines were silent. I could feel a single tear run down my face. I hit the ground hard with my right hand and noticed a golden chain with a charm on it. I picked it up and realized that it was the necklace that Jo wore every day. I held onto it then stood up slowly.

"We're still here." Delilah said as she walked over to me. I quickly put the necklace into one of my pockets. I smiled and tried to think positive. Only so much could be done though when you see a defeated crew of 5 people left, when you started with 12. Sydney was walking around the area where the portal was. Just walking around like a normal person, not scanning for P.K.E.'s or observing something. She looked distant for once. Buster and Jesse were inspecting Oscar who was lying there as dead as he could be.

"What are we going to do with him?" I asked anyone who cared to listen as I walked over to him. Delilah and Sydney followed me.

"Something's not right." Sydney said.

"This whole night hasn't been right." Jesse said.

"No, look at him." Sydney almost demanded. "He looks like he is fading or something like that." We watched as Oscar seemed to fade slowly then disappear completely. The only thing left was his proton pack that Jesse and Buster took off when they put him here. I looked closer at the spot where his head was. There golden chain with a lone charm on it lying on the ground. It loooked eeriely just like Jo's. I picked it up as well and put it into the same pocket.

"He's in K now. For good though." I said.

"We can get everyone back right?" Delilah asked. Sydney shrugged.

"I don't know yet." Sydney said. "Come on, let's get back to headquarters." She started walking to the back of the car and we followed her.

"We drive there, in this thing?" I asked and I pointed to Ecto-1. Sydney nodded and opened the back door. "Sydney, I've only parked the damn thing. I've never really driven it past Tribeca really."

"Well, time to learn." Sydney said and she pulled the pack off my back and I put it onto the stretcher in the back of the car. I helped her with everyone else then with her own. She slammed the door and walked round to the driver side with me. I looked at my watch as I opened the door and Sadie slid inside, 10:13. This sure as hell would make the news tonight. The front seat could hold three people and Delilah already closed her door and the Jesse and Buster were in the back seat.

"Straight down 7th avenue then down Varick street." I mumbled under my breath so I would remember where to go as I closed the door behind me. I reached for the key in the ignition and noticed it was labeled 'STANTZ' on one side. I bit down on my lip.

"Easy over there." Delilah said. "No waterworks until we get back at least please." I breathed deeply and started the car and turned on the siren. The barricade was opened for us and I maneuvered out of Times Square.

"Taking the siren seriously, hmm?" Jesse asked from the backseat. I was weaving in and out of traffic like a mad man on drugs. We made it down Varick and got to the Station.

"Buster, open the door please." I asked as Buster got out of the car and slammed his door. He pulled open the firehouse doors and I backed the car inside.

"I'm so tired." Buster mumbled as he walked by me and started heading up that stairs. We all followed suit and marched up the long staircase. Kelle and Sam were sitting at the dining room table watching TV.

"Hey, you guys are back!" Kelle said.

"Yeah, where is everyone?" Sam asked.

"K." Sydney said simply and Sam looked confused. We all gave Sam a look that read, we'll tell you soon, but not now.

"Oh, will it make the news?" Kelle asked us.

"Most likely." Jesse said.

"What time is it?" Buster asked. I looked at my watch, 10:32. I undid the utility belt and dropped my flightsuit onto the floor in a pile.

"ABC news is on; their studio is in Times Square too." I said. Kelle switched the channel on the TV and we all watched silently.

"And the Queen will make her visit to New York in the beginning of July." The News anchor concluded. "A developing story out of the city tonight. The Ghostbusters are back, and they seem to have lost a bit. At around 9:30 tonight the Ghostbusters battled a leader from a different dimension in the center of Times Square. The four front men were there but they also had some new recruits as well. No word yet on who these new busters are." The TV showed images of everything that just happened. The portal exploding, Jo attacking Belas, Peter talking about Slimer. It was all there. "There has been one confirmed casualty and feared that there was also 6 others as well. There were only 5 who walked away from the ordeal. You can call the Ghostbusters at 555- 2368. Now we turn to the sports desk," Sam turned off the TV.

"They didn't die." Sydney said. "Oscar did, but everyone else is in the other dimension.

"I need to get home to see my mom before she goes insane, and I mean it this time." Delilah said. She gave me and Sydney a hug.

"Leave your uniform here." Sydney said to Delilah and she started to take her's off. "Well everybody I guess."

"Yeah I have to go." Buster said. "Let's go Jesse." They both took of their uniforms and attempted to fold them and started a stack on the table. Buster and Jesse ran down the stairs and were gone.

"I'm gonna head home to." Kelle said.

"I'll walk with you," Delilah said. "Bye guys." I waved and sighed as they walked down the stairs. Sam stood up.

"I have a lot to do for tomorrow, I should head back to my place." Sam said. "I'm sorry kid; I didn't think this would happen when I took the job. I just thought I would be answering phones."

"You'll be back tomorrow right?" I asked. Sam nodded and she started for the stairs she waved then walked down.

"Ellen," Sydney said to me.

"Yeah?" I asked.

"Just go home." Sydney said and she sat down at the table. She had that distant look in her face again. "Just please go home, come back tomorrow. And move in here. Keep your apartment though. Mark my words we'll have everyone back." I nodded and Sydney put her head down on the table. "Just leave."

"Are you sure?" I asked. "Will everything be fine?"

"Just leave!" Sydney yelled without looking up. I jumped and started walking backwards for the stairs then I turned around and ran down them.

"She'll be fine." I kept repeating to myself as I walked down the stairs to the subway. "Overreacting, that's it." I sat down in one of the seats and stared straight ahead. People looked at me weird like they were trying to figure out who I was or something. I looked down at what I was wearing, a pair of blue jeans, a black t-shirt, and my white hi-top uniform shoes. I could tell that my hair was a mess. They must have just watched the news. It seemed like forever until my stop came, but when it did I sprinted up the stairs and didn't stop running until I was locked inside our apartment. I walked by the sofa then into the kitchen and put my purse on the counter. I saw one of Dad's packs of cigarettes sitting there and I just stared at them. "I can't do this." I said loudly. I walked down the hallway and pulled my contacts out once I got into my room. I turned my radio on and listened to it silently as the top 40 hits played. I lied down on my bed and faced the window. The same window where Oscar and Manny crashed the party less than 24 hours ago. I could feel my pillow getting wet, waterworks. Delilah I'm home, do you care now?

This was one of my favorite chapters to write, seriously. I love subway scenes.

What will she do? Find out in the next chapter! The final chapter of 'The Agreement' is next!

But i didn't get to tell you what I thought? WHY SURE YOU CAN!

The button is calling you my friend.
