Chapter 4 - FIRST CONTACT
The van pulled into a parking area, and everyone quickly jumped out of the vehicle. It was around 12:30 AM, and the park was pretty much empty. Ray looked around, and pulled a box out of the car and took a pair of altered night vision goggles.
Tom gave him a strange look, "..and those are?"
"Ecto-Plasmic Detection Goggles, they work like a PKE Meter but are used for short range." Ray said putting the goggles over his forehead. "These come in handy alot."
"Hey Benjamin. Catch." Ray said throwing a PKE Meter to him.
Troy caught the Meter, almost dropping it, "Cool."
Miller pulled his digital camcorder from his backpack, "I'm going to catch this thing on film."
Raymond nodded remembering the first ghost he truly encountered at the New York Public Library.
"Here comes Mr. Knolls." Spenglar said as an old beat up oldsmobile pulled up.
"Names Jason Knolls.." He said stepping out of the car, "Let's get this over with eh?"
Tom spoke up, "Alright Jason, You said on the phone with Dr. Stantz here that the 'ghost' spoke to you. What exactly did he say?"
Tom nodded and wrote down exactly what Jason told him about his encounter, and finished by saying that the ghost called himself 'The Prophet'.
"So you were walking through Central Park, and this thing just came out of no where?" Stantz asked.
"Right."
"Well Lets go kick this bitches ass." Troy said.
Everyone nodded and as soon as they started on the ghost walk they began picking up strange signals.
"Miller you recording this?" Stantz asked.
"Yeah I got it all on a memory stick. I also have my tape recorder going."
"Eh the meter on this thing is jumping like hell." Troy said.
Stantz walked over to him glancing at the meter, "Class 6.. Something is here."
"Oh shit.. I can feel him.. He is here!" Jason said, "I'm going back home!"
"I think we should get those packs you were talking about Tom." Troy said.
"OH SHIT OH SHIT!" Jason started yelling as he was pulled into the air, and was thrown accross the park again, landing in the same place as earlier. Ray pulled down the ecto goggles, "Alright I see him.." Ray said staring at a blue vapor, with sharp teeth, "It is giving off a blue form, it isn't a poltergeist."
"Come on Ray I think it's time to get the packs."
Ray nodded, "We'll use the packs Tom. Not you or Troy."
"Oh come on Ray, we aren't children." Tom said.
"You haven't been trained to use the equipment." Egon added.
Tom sighed, "Fine I'll go wait in the van... Come on Troy." he said walking back to the old van.
Ray waited for the two kids to leave, "Egon.. I don't trust them at all."
"I know, but remember our first job?"
Ray sighed, "You are right of course Egon."
Ray looked over and saw two figures in the distance. "Oh no." Ray said.
"Who ya gonna call?" Tom said walking forward with a pack strapped to his back, as did Troy.
Tom and Troy walked forward, pulling the neutrana wands.
"Put those down kids!" Ray said, "You don't know what your doing."
Tom looked at the pack and read a label that said 'ignite' and flipped it, the pack heated up. Troy grinned and did the same, "Let's teach these old guys how to handle these spooks."
The Blue Phantom looked over at the two and spoke in a deep voice, "The Prophet will not be pleased by this possible threat. I shall banish you all to the Netherworld."
Ray and Egon started backing from the blue phantom, as the proton beams of the two new ghostbusters beams flew forward trying to capture the ghost.
"We gotta get the packs Egon!" Ray yelled.
"I shall banish you now foolish mortals. HAHAHAHAHAHHA!" The Phantom screeched, with a raise of his hand he pulled Ray and Egon towards him, opening a small portal and pulled the two ghostbusters in.
"NO!" Tom shouted he blasted at the ghost again capturing it in the multicolored proton beam.
"TROY GET THE TRAP!" he yelled.
Jason just watched, shocked at the events that had just occured. What the hell is going on? he thought.
Troy ran up with the trap and through it under the ghost, "HIT IT!" Troy yelled.
Tom turned off the beam right as the trap opened and looked away. The only noise was the screams coming from the portal. But that ended very quickly, as the purple portal closed.
"Oh my god." Jason said, "Where are they?"
"...Tom what the hell did you get us into?" Troy yelled.
"I... I.. Oh god." Tom said, his eyes were wide with fear.
"What are we going to do?" Jason asked.
"We?" Troy said, "Your just a witness."
"We're in this together." Tom said, "Let's go back to the firehouse, maybe we can find some information there... They need our help."
"Oh boy." Troy said as they walked to the van together.
