Dark Side Of The Moon
A Ghostbusters/Sailor Moon Crossover
By Dan Ectodude Shannon
Chapter 22
To The Tower, Full Speed Ahead
Raye: Oh, no. Starlight Tower!
Winston: Where's that?
All ten people walked outside where they got a good look at the skyline. All 5 girls pointed to the tallest building in the skyline. It had a striking resemblance to the Sears Tower of Chicago. Dan's eyes went wide, as thoughts of what happened 3 months prior flashed across his mind. When he fell over the edge of the observation deck of the Empire State Building.
No, now was not the time to fear. Focus... focus on what the situation is. Who was he kidding? It was the situation!
Dan: I don't think I can do this.
Serena: Why?
Dan: Something happened to me which concerned me being in a building a number a months ago. I don't think I can go up there... Unless...
Dan walked to the back of his truck, and opened both the stainless steel bed cover, and the tailgate. Everyone followed to see what he was up to. Dan pulled out a Proton Pack with more-than-usual added on equipment. He strapped it on, and turned to the rest of the group...
Ray: Dan, what are you doing?
Dan: Do you guys remember when I said I would save testing the Proton/Electron discharge propulsion system for a rainy day?
Other Ghostbusters: Yeah?
Dan: Well, I figured tonight's the night.
Lita: How does it work?
Dan took a joystick with an arm brace attached off the Proton Packs belt, and strapped it to his arm. Attached to the straps was a box with a dial. It looked like a multimeter. He then flipped a switch that was attached to the belt of the pack, and a set of aluminum wings unfolded from behind the support frame of the pack. The girls stood in awe as the sleek wings were then folded back into resting position.
Amy: As amazing as it was, we have little time left. We must be going.
Egon: My precise thoughts. Dan, Winston, you go head of us, and radio back traffic. If you get there before us, wait for us in the main lobby of the tower. The Scouts will go with us.
Winston: Right.
Dan: You got it.
Dan and Winston hopped into the cab of the truck. They buckled up, as Dan looked over to Winston...
Dan: Winston, I just want you to know that this is going to be the fasted ride you're ever going to take with me in this truck. We have to get across town within an hour in rush hour traffic. All I want from you is, if we get there early, is to give me the respect that I can drive more efficiently then anyone else. Got it?
Winston: Yeah, sure... If you don't kill us first.
Dan started the truck, and put a CD in the Player.
Winston: What are you doing?
Boston - Smokin' started playing. As soon as the drums started playing, Dan threw the car into first, and screeched off.
CD: We're gonna play you a song,
a little bit of rock-n-roll
You gotta let yourself go,
the band's gonna take control.
We're gettin' down today
We'll pick you up and take you away
Get down tonight
Dan hit corners at heavy speeds. He sped down Cherry Hill Drive, and screeched around cars.
CD: Smokin', Smokin'
We're cookin' tonight, just keep on tokin'
Smokin', Smokin'
I feel alright, mamma I'm not jokin', yeah.
Dan slammed on the brakes as he cut the wheel around the corner to the next street.
CD: Get your feet to the floor,
everybody rock and roll
You've got nothing to lose
just the rhythm and blues, that's all, yeah
We're gonna feel ok
We'll pick you up and take you away
Get down tonight.
From this point, it is nothing but straight-away. All Dan did was move around cars.
CD: Smokin', Smokin'
We're cookin' tonight, just keep on tokin'
Smokin', Smokin'
I feel alright, mamma I'm not jokin', yeah.
Everybody jumpin',
dancin' to the boogie tonight
Clap your hands, move your feet
If you don't you know it won't seem right
We're gettin' down today
We'll pick you up and take you away
Get down tonight
We're gettin' down today
We'll pick you up and take you away
Get down tonight, well alright.
The song had ended, and as it did, Dan had turned the corner, and came about a traffic accident...
Dan: Damn! Winston, tell the others to avoid Malholland road.
As he radioed the repost to the others, Metallica - Fuel began playing.
CD: Gimme fuel
Gimme fire
Gimme that which I desire
A couple of cars cleared out of Dan's view, and he saw a flatbed tow truck with its platform down. He suddenly got a crazy idea...
Dan: Winston, hang on!
Winston: What?
Dan looked at the platform, then looked at Winston while twitching his eyebrows...
Winston: No. No!
Dan: Yippie-Ki-Yay!
Dan threw the truck into reverse, and backed the truck up to the empty space behind him. As he waited for the right time, he sat in neutral, and revved the engine.
CD: Turn on, I see red
Adrenaline crash and crash my head
Nitro junkie, paint me dead
And I see red
That was then he slammed the shifter into first, and stepped on it.
one hundred plus through black and white
War horse
War head
Fuck 'em, man
White knuckle tight
Through black and white
The truck was now up to 120 MPH when it hit the ramp. As the truck flew through the air...
CD: Oh, on I burn
Fuel is pumping engines
Burning hard
Loose and clean
Oh, and on I burn
Churning my direction
Quench my thirst with gasoline
The back tire narrowly missed the roof of a police cruiser that was parked on the other side of the two truck, then landed. Dan lost control for a second, but he regained control.
CD: So gimme fuel
Gimme fire
Gimme that which I desire
Dan hung a right turn, but Winston caught it...
Winston: Dan you're going the wrong way!
Dan: Oops! Sorry!
Dan slammed on the breaks, and did a fishtailed u-turn. They were now heading in the right direction.
CD: Turn on beyond the bone
Swallow future, spit out home
Burn your face upon the chrome
Take the corner, join the crash
Headlights
Alarms
Another junkie lives too fast
Yeah
Lives way too fast, fast, fast, fast, fast
Oh, on I burn
Fuel is pumping engines
Burning hard, loose and clean
Oh, and on I burn
Turning my direction
Quench my thirst with gasoline
So gimme fuel
Gimme fire
Gimme that which I desire
It seemed that the streets from Malholland Road to the tower were cleared completely. It was nothing but open road.
CD: Oh
Gimme fuel
Gimme fire
My desire
Oh, on I burn
Fuel is pumping engines
Burning hard, loose and clean
On I burn
Churning my direction
Quench my thirst with gasoline
Lucky Black was now coming around the corner, making final approach.
Gimme fuel
Gimme fire
Gimme that which I desire
On I burn
Dan slammed on the brakes, shutting off the siren, player and engine. He kept the two sets of green and violet light bars flashing, as he and Winston stepped out of the truck. The both of them looked up the side of the building...
Dan: Man, this is going to be a long night.
