New York City: 1984
A different dimension
It has been chaotic times as the end of the world seemed to be possible. For there have been so many predictions to the end, an end that would never come. Darken skies are overhead of the city that never sleeps or never will again if the end actually happens. This is still the time of the cold war and Ronald Regan is still President of the United States of America. For months now in New York City there has been a rise of paranormal activity. What could be the cause of it?
Fire and Brimstone!
The moon turning red!
Oceans and seas boiling!
Cats and dogs living together!
How did this come to be as a certain firehouse with a ghost symbol had an incident during the day that caused a breach and explosion releasing all that was captured into some form of containment unit! But who owns this place, what is their purpose and where are they now. The answer is an easy one as they became instant celebrities in catching one thing.
Ghosts!
On that day after the incident in the New York Library, they became the Ghostbusters. Their names are even known and had added a forth member due to being overworked. Their names are.
Peter Venkman
Raymond Stantz
Egon Spengler
Winston Zeddemore
Currently the city is in crisis mode as a certain high rise has the center of attention on this night. The people below are wondering what is transpiring up above the very top of the building as certain debris had fallen and a dark raspy voice of a female echoed in the background.
After that seer terror happened as a large creature appeared in a form of a marshmallow man as it slowly approaches the building and after being shot by the Ghostbusters with their proton packs it climbs up the building. At the same time the four Ghostbusters deck behind something for a moment.
"I have a radical idea. The door swings both ways," said Egon "we could reverse the particle flow through the gate."
"How?" asked Venkman
Egon hesitates for a moment in not liking the option "We'll cross the streams." said Egon
"Scuse me Egon?" said Venkman "You said crossing the streams was bad!"
"Cross the streams..." signed Ray slowly.
"You're gonna endanger us, you're gonna endanger our client" said Peter "the nice lady, who paid us in advance, before she became a dog..."
"Not necessarily." said Egon "There's definitely a *very slim* chance we'll survive"
They all pause to consider this.
Peter slaps Ray upside the head "I love this plan!" said Peter "I'm excited to be a part of it! LET'S DO IT!"
They come out of hiding at the nick of time as the marshmallow man is almost on top the building and they all stand in position as they are about to fire their proton weapons.
"See ya on the other side, Ray." said Peter as he fired his weapon.
"Nice working with you, Dr. Venkman." said Ray as he fired his weapon
At the same time they were about to combine their weapons to cross the streams. A small dimensional portal near where the ghost busters are at and come flying out in full speed is Gordon Freeman holding on to Mogwai the black Lion.
As he had tackled the evil animal from previously before, the both of them crashed hard nearby the Ghost Busters as they were too busy to be concerned as Mogwai had bounced from the roof top to the inside of the Gozer temple that is a gateway between both dimensions.
"Hah, you think," said Mogwai "This will stop-"he turned around as he was already to late "NOOOOO!"
KABOOM!
Mogwai had been caught in the blast as Gordon Freeman quickly got into cover as the explosion had occurred. He had been close to explosions before, but this was really close. There was eerie silence as a smell of burnt dog flesh, along with burnt marshmallow debris as well. Gordon had some of that debris on him as he got up from hiding and went to go check on those guys he got a glimpse of.
He found one of them.
"Hey you ok," asked Gordon.
"What, who," said Peter "Where did you come from and who was that guy"
"It's a long story for another time," said Gordon "And oh your friends are alive."
"Right" nodded Peter.
They have all assembled as Gordon witnessed to all four of them being alive and of course there is sadness, along with joy along the way as a woman and a nerdy male were some form of dog statues. They were all talking and then give Gordon a sharp look at him.
"Uh! It's best that I get going." said Gordon "But seriously you had sex with a dog."
He chuckled as he activated his suits mini dimensional portal as it will take him back to the previous dimension he had been in. Gordon wordlessly walked into the portal and vanished without a trace.
"What the hell was that about?" asked Winston
The others shrugged their shoulders and went on their way.
To be continued.
