Chapter 16
Arriving At Gate 12

October 25, 1995
Tokyo International Airport
12:52 AM

The girls and the cat guardians arrived at the darkened main terminal, to find no one there. It had been evacuated for what the image had said earlier that evening, and for the safety of other people. Getting past the blockade 2 blocks from the airport was a tricky task, but they managed to pull it off without being seen...

Serena: I don't know. This place seems too quiet. It's not like the last time we were here.

Amy: I agree. The fact there are no other police officers here is quite disturbing.

Raye: I am sensing something here is not quite right. There's no one else in the terminal, but I'm feeling something outside of gate 12.

Lita: I really don't like it here. I hate places like this.

Luna: Lita, I've been noticing you haven't really been yourself lately.

Artemis: Yeah, you've acted more frightened than usual.

Upon hearing that, Lita then held her head up high, and shot back at the white cat...

Lita: Frightened? You'd better watch what you say to me!

Artemis lowered his head in a sheepish way, and gave a nervous laugh as Luna and Lita shot him a look...

Artemis: I'm sorry, did I say that? Silly me!

Mina: Will you be quiet! You might end up getting us...!

The lights in the terminal lit up, and dozens of alien-like creatures stood all around them.

Mina: ...Unwanted attention?

Serena: Sorta like you just demonstrated?

Mina: Oh, give me a break, Serena!

Luna: No time to argue. Transform!

Girls: Right!

All the girls held up their transformation pens, and shouted out their respective phrases...

Raye: Mars Star Power!

Amy: Mercury Star Power!

Mina: Venus Star Power!

Lita: Jupiter Star Power!

Serena: Moon Crystal Power!

With that, all the girls transformed into the Sailor Scouts: Champions of Justice.

Unfortunately, before the Scouts could say their pre-battle speech, all of the creatures lunged themselves at them. But before the ghosts were more than 3 feet away from them, they all stopped, as a very familiar, booming voice filled the terminal...

Jedite: Welcome, Sailor Scouts! Are we ready to begin?!

Jedite appeared in the clearing on a crossing I-beam that lay across the terminal. Sailor Moon, Sailor Mercury, and Sailor Mars in particular stood in shock as they saw right through Jedite.

Moon: Oh, we are in big trouble!

Mars: For once, I have to agree with you!

All the Scouts got into battle stands, and got prepared to fight...

Dan and Winston sped as fast as the little truck could to the airport. It was now 4 minuets to 1 AM. They were about 5 miles from the main road to the airport. Ecto-1 followed behind, but was having a hard time trying to keep up to the supercharged Chevy. Egon came over the radio...

Egon: You guys get there as soon as you can. We'll be there as fast as possible.

Winston: Roger, White Knight. Black Rouge out. ::hangs mic on hook:: Well, show us what this puppy has!

Dan: What about my, "Bad Driving?"

Winston: Look, I still think you drive as bad as Ray, but if your truck has more speed, that's all that matters at the moment!

Dan: Don't ever say I drive like Ray. That was just plain cold.

Dan armed the nitrous...

Dan: Hold on to your cowboy hat!

He hit the trigger switch on the gear selector. Both Ghostbusters were thrown back in their seats, as the truck was kicked into high speed. The needle on the speedometer was burred, as Dan laid on more speed...

Winston: Whoa! I think we just hit warp 9!

Dan: ::Imitating Scotty:: I'm giving 'er all she's got, Capt'in!

Winston: ::Imitating Dr. McCoy:: Damnit, Jim, we're Ghostbusters, not Starfleet officers!

Dan: Hey, you started it! ::laughs:: Don't make me do the Vulcan neck pinch on ya!

Winston: Set Phasers on stun!

Dan: ::seriously:: Alright, enough with the Star Trek!

Dan saw something ahead. He couldn't really see it. He hit the brights on the head lights, and turned on the KC lights. Before he could see what was in the road, he heard a smash, and saw a board that said, "Tokyo Police Dept." written on it, then it flew off the windshield...

Dan: Oops!

Winston: I think you hit the police barricade!

Dan: I think you're right.

Winston looked around, to see if they were close to the airport. Sure enough, at the top speed they were in, they had already passed 5 miles within 2 minuets.

Winston: We're here!

Dan still sped...

Winston: Yo! Brakes!

Dan slammed on the brakes, and cut the wheel into the inlet to the passenger entrance, as he yelled...

Dan: Yaaaaaaaahoooo! Now, that was a ride!

Dan and Winston stepped out of the Chevy, and started for the tailgate of the truck, as they heard the supercharger whining down. Dan Helped Winston into his pack, and Winston did the same for Dan. Winston pulled out a PKE meter, and took readings. A look of shock came over his face...

Winston: Holy crap!

Then the meter started to smoke. He dropped the handheld device, and waved his hand around, as if he were burned...

Winston: Ah! Damnit!

Dan: What happened?

Winston: The meter overloaded, and fried out!

Dan: What was the reading you got before it fried?

Winston: It was at a consistent class 15!

Dan's jaw dropped, as Winston went back into the cab of the truck, and picked up the mic once again...

Winston: Zeddemore to White Knight, come in!

Dan: ::under breath:: Class 15?

Ray: White Knight. This is Stantz. What's the report?

Dan: ::under breath:: Whoa!

Winston: You're not gonna believe this, but we have a class 15!

Ray: What?!

Winston: Yep, that's what the meter said, before it fried out!

Ray: Alright, we're almost there. See if you can get in, and possibly get another reading. Adjust the meter to withstand the impact of energy, so it's not so sensitive. White Knight out.

Winston threw the mic back into the cab and shut the door, as Dan looked at him...

Dan: Well, what now?

Winston: Well, we go in there, and do what Ray says.

Mars: Celestial Fire Surround!

Dozens of rings of fire flew outward, as they sliced through the last creature that stood in the now lightened airport terminal. It burst into flames, and then was reduced to nothing more than a pile of dust, along side the rest of the piles on were also the remains of the other ghosts.

The Sailor Scouts looked up at the ghost of Jedite. They had expected to see him angered, but instead, she had an evil smile on his face. Not really taking that into account, Sailor Jupiter approached him, and yelled out to him...

Jupiter: What? Was that all you had for us, pal? That was too easy!

Jedite: Oh, that? That was just a warm up. I'm sorry if I had disappointed you, my dear, but fortune for you, that wasn't all I had planned for you!

A sudden pit fell in all the scouts' stomachs...

Venus: Did you really had to say that?!

Jupiter: My assumption is that it wouldn't had mattered anyway. It was already going to happen.

Jedite: How right you are! Meet me outside gate 12, or else the fate of your non-compliance will fall upon the city!

He vanished, as the lights shut off in the terminal, once again leaving it dark. The one thing other than the lights they had all noticed changed in the room, was the sudden temperature increase.

To Be Continued...
