While everyone was searching for the gems a problem was brewing at HQ. A man who has bothered the Ghostbusters in New York had found his's way to Japan and the former temple of Genkai. And the ones keeping him busy before everyone got back were Rukia, Sayuki, and Sasami along with a couple of others.

Tatewaki Kuno and Mousse were making sure none of the men whom came with source of problems, Walter Peck. The former member of the EPA and P-COC or Paranormal Contract Oversight Committee of NYC back in'91. He was now in Japan claiming to be a member of yet another group. This one was apparently created by meetings with multiple national leaders to attempt to keep the paranormal activities at a low enough level that the events in New York wouldn't repeat.

This group was called Supernatural Happenings Inspection Team. Mousse and Kuno couldn't help but point out what it spelled and how uncreative the name was. And how funny it was that he was a part of this strange group. It didn't take long for Akane, Ukyo, Yusuke, Atsuko, Kasumi, Nabiki, Koenma, Nodoka, Ranko, and Kurama to return but when they did, Peck was in for a surprise when he saw Botan who also returned but decided that she could ride on her oar up the stairs.

"How is she riding that oar up those stairs!" Peck demanded from Kuno and Mousse as the girls behind them just shrug their shoulders.

"We don't know. Ask her, she's the one doing it." Mousse answers.

"If you wont co-operate then I will do just that." Peck answers back and walks towards the others.

Ranko being the first one to notice Peck as he walked towards the group of returning ghostbusters and family looks up to her mother and says, "Mommy? Who is that man? And why does he look mad at us? Did we do something wrong?"

"Not that I am aware of hun. But I doubt it was your fault. You don't have to worry." Nodoka reassures her daughter.

"You miss with the blue hair! How are you doing what you are doing right now!" Peck yells as if it was against the law to ride oars in the air.

"Who me?" Botan asks confused.

"Yes you! You are the only one floating at the moment!" Peck answers back getting more frustrated.

Botan then looks to her oar and to Koenma. Making sue it was okay. He gave her a very subtle nod of his head and she turns back to Peck and answers, "The oar does most of the work. I just basically steer it."

That had the effect of stopping Peck in his tracks as everyone walks past him while Ranko giggles at what she thought was a funny face on the strange man. Peck then turns around and finally gets to business and says, "So who among you are members of the Japan branch of the Ghostbusters?"

Nabiki turns around to ask who he is but Kuno stops and says, "Nabiki, this is Walter Peck. He is an investigating officer of the international group called the Supernatural Happenings Inspection Team. Oh and he does in fact know what those words abbreviated spell as a single word."

Yusuke and his mother just started laughing right there and then while Nodoka tried her best to hide her own giggle at such a name. Kasumi wasn't doing as well as Nodoka but not as bad as Yusuke thankfully. Kurama and Hiei just smirked mimicking the reactions of Akane and Nabiki. Peck getting angry starts yelling asking for an answer to his question in which Ukyo responds, "Hey calm down sugar. I'm one of them but I'm really kinda only part time."

Shampoo had just arrived as she was coming back from the Cat Café. She looked up the stairs and decides to jump over the stairs and land between Peck and Ukyo. She turns around and points to Peck and asks, "Who are you to question Shampoo and her friends?"

Peck blinks and wonders if shampoo was actually this girls' name or not. He didn't have to answer her question as Ukyo filler her in which just made her react like Yusuke. Laughing so hard she was on the ground and pointing at Peck like he himself was the world's funniest joke. "Just to let you know she is one as well." Ukyo answers Peck.

Akane, Nabiki, Kurama, Hiei, and Yusuke all raised their hands and said that they were the rest of the team. They didn't mention that one member was MIA as Ranma was not going to be anywhere near Peck if he did anything anyway. Peck nods as he looks to them all and says, "Then you are all coming with me. The officers with me will escort you down the stairs and into the cars waiting for you. You are being brought in for questioning and not coming is not an option."

"WHAT!?" screamed Akane, Nabiki, Shampoo and Ukyo as they realized that they were basically being arrested.

Kuno steps forward and asks, "And what gives you the authority to do this? And what could you possibly want to ask them that can't be asked here."

Peck then points to Rukia's desk and at a folder on the desk and says, "That folder I gave that young woman has all of my paperwork. It has all of the documents that state what I can do and can't. And this is well in my power. And for your second question, the events around the world which has a very familiar effect on the living as the events in New York on three separate occasions. And we can trace these new events to an event in Tokyo, Japan. And that means you are the only people who could and know that is going on. And to rule out this team as the cause of it all you must come with us."

"Hey Peck long time no see! What are you doing here in the land of the rising sun?" asks a very familiar voice. A voice that Peck knew all too well and hated with a passion. Peck turns around to see the four original guys from New York.

"Venkman." Peck responds with anger.

"Oh my! Dr. Egon Spengler, Dr. Raymond Stanz, Dr. Peter Venkman and Dr. Winston Zeddemore. How nice to see you all. It's been too long." Kasumi exclaims as she goes to welcome the original four whom she met after Ranma and the others dealt with Agaroth who had been released because Kuno was being stupid.

"Guys if you're worried about the research you've been doing don't worry. We'll take care of it while you are stuck answering this guy's questions." Ray answers as he is greeted by Kasumi.

"Why are you four here!?" Peck demands.

"Relax Peck. We were planing this for about a week now. Now while we let you do your job why don't you let us do ours?" Peter asks.

"Peter don't antagonize him. Look Peck we won't do a thing to interrupt you and your job. And sue they won't like it but they WILL go with you. You are investigating them after all." Winston says hoping it will calm down Peck.

"Fine but if so much one more near end world event happens because of you four you will not be allowed to even THINK about busting ghosts ever again." Peck answers as he walks down the stairs waiting for the others.

"Sorry kids. We know how he gets. It's best to play to his ego than to make him mad at you. You don't want the guy to practically stalk you looking for a reason to arrest you." Ray answers to the disgruntled young adults.

Hiei spat at the ground and says, "I don't see why I have to follow him. I could just go back to demon world."

"And why haven't you already Hiei?" Kurama asks as he starts to the stairs.

"This is more fun and entertaining. Plus I do have a nephew here you know." Hiei answers with a smirk as he continues walking with them.

Akane and Nabiki said they would see Nodoka later and the same to Kasumi while the walked down the stairs. Hopping that this wouldn't take too long. Yusuke asks him mom to explain to Keiko where he is going to be for him as he leaves as well followed by Shampoo and Ukyo. With Shampoo glaring at Ukyo for telling Peck that she was one of them with out finding out why he wanted to know first.

Egon sighs as he looks around and says, "Sorry we couldn't arrive sooner. But we couldn't get an earlier flight that would get us here at the same time."

"That's okay. So what is it you want to see first?" asks Kasumi as she brings them inside the temple.

Meanwhile in demon world Ranma was yet once again taunting several demons as he ran through out the halls of the prison. He was also busy "attempting" to escape. Well that is what the guards trying to catch him thought. He then turned a sharp left and jumped up to the ceiling which just made the demons thing he was still running in circles trying to find a way out. He watched as they ran past him and dropped to the floor quietly and looked at the demon in the cell he was currently in front of.

"This makes 15 times that you fooled them. I'm starting to think escaping could be done." Mukuro states as she looks to a smirking Ranma.

"You would think that they would realize what I do by now. But it never fails. I'm starting to think the ones I keep fooling are getting killed by the so called demon king in charge of this place." Ranma adds as he folds his arms behind his head and relaxes against the bars of her cell and actually WATCH the same demons he fooled run past them thinking he was still running from them.

"This is getting pathetic."

"I agree"

"..."

"Wanna play Rock, Paper, Scissors? For a couple of round?."

"Sure. But what are the rules Ranma?"

Ranma then demonstrates the rules of the game and so they played a few rounds until they felt the whole place shake as if it was an earthquake.

"What was that?" Ranma asks.

"I don't know. Never felt something like that before." Mukuro asks as she stands up.

----- ----- ------ ----

"Sire! I can see you!"

"What do you mean you can see me?!" asks the now slightly visible once invisible king.

"I mean I can see you with my eyes sire! Doesn't that mean...." the underling was killed right there before it could leak any info to undeserving ears. The demon king looked to a map a human world and says, "They completed it."

----- ------- -------- -----

"Ranko are you sure that is the correct one?" Nodoka asks her daughter as she placed the final piece into the tablet.

"Yup!" Ranko answers excitedly as she hopes this will bring her brother back. But then hides under the table with her mother and Kasumi as the Ghostbusters fight to keep their balance as the earthquake hits.

"Botan go and tell Kaisei and Fubuki to meet me here! Tell them it's their next case as spirit detectives. And tell Kuroko that she should come as well! This could be very bad!" Koenma yells over the roar of the quake.

"Will do Koenma sir!" Botan yells as she flies off on her oar. Hoping that the spirit detective family could help.

---- ---- ----- ------ ----

Just outside the temple the others looked on as the quake ended and saw a pillar of light shoot out of the temple and the screams of the doomed and the damned echo in the air.

"The containment grid! It must have broke during the quake." Kurama states as they regain their balance.

"What caused the quake? It felt really close....the tablet! Ranko must have finished it!" Akane realizes what must have caused it. And then the storm began to develop over Tokyo, Japan. With the eye moving towards the ocean. And that also was where the ghosts were all heading after escaping the containment grid.

"No one goes anywhere with out my approval! No matter what...whaa....not again!" Peck yells and starts floating in the air as a possessor possess his body.

The Yusuke looks to the officers that were with them and asks, "Can we get our gear now?"

"Sure no problem." and then they all ran towards the temple hoping nothing new would surprise them. The black slime flowing down the streets of Tokyo wouldn't let them be surprise free though.
