Chapter 25
Twelfth Level Disaster
8:23
Dan and Jupiter came out of the stairwell onto level twelve. Dan, still having his Ecto-Goggles, got a heavy amount of activity on the floor. It looked as if they needed to assess any problems before they continued.
The stairwell door was at the end of some kind of corridor. They looked around to make sure none of the sub-demons were around. As they walked down the hallway, they tried to figured out what the doors on the sides lead to...
Jupiter: They look like meeting rooms.
Dan looked into the rooms through the glass windows that overlooked the rooms. Large tables with a dozen leather chairs on wheels lining it was seen in one of the darkened rooms.
Dan: I guess so. How many floors does this place have, do you know?
Jupiter: About a hundred and eight.
Dan: Damn! Sears Tower has about that many!
Jupiter: Sears Tower? Where's that, and how do you know how many floors it has?
Dan: Sears Tower is the tallest building in the United States, and was once the tallest in the world. It's located in Chicago, Illinois, and I know because I'm from around Chicago. You can't call yourself a great Chicagoan if you don't know that.
The two were coming up on the corner. They were about to walk around causally, when they saw 3 sub-demons standing there. They immediately went back around the corner, and peered from around it. The demons didn't notice them...
Jupiter: Those things look familiar. Have you seen them before?
Dan: Yeah, they look like the aliens from Area 51. Those are what were at the airport, and that's what threw me and Ray from the park. I take it those are the same things as the ones that possessed those people. If this asshole made these things like the video game, and if I know my first-person shooters correctly, those things have concentrated energy weapons in there right arms.
Dan gave a small laugh...
Jupiter: Was so funny?
Dan: I was telling Mina the other day at the arcade when I was playing the game, I said we were all lucky this wasn't real life. If guess the irony of the whole thing is now we're somewhat re-living the whole game.
Jupiter: I guess you right. It is kinda weird.
Dan: So what do we do?
Jupiter: I don't know. Why are you asking me?
Dan: Hey, you're the princess, I just work for yo... uh, for a living.
She looked over to him strangely. She felt he was trying to cover something up...
Dan: Sorry. I keep thinking I'm talking to one of my colleagues.
Jupiter: Well, I don't act like I'm taking to Mercury, now do I?
Dan: Look, now is not the time for a fight, ok? We have other things to worry...
There was large screech, followed by 2 or 3 more screeches. They looked over to find that the demons spotted them...
Dan: ...About?
The demons charged up their weapons, and began firing blasts of concentrated PKE. Dan and Jupiter ran down the hall, back to the way they came. Dan kicked in one of the office doors, and Jupiter went in. Dan was about to follow when a volley of fire came upon him, and he ended up backing into the door across the hall from Jupiter.
He fell backwards in the door, and landed on his back. He immediately got up, took out the pistol, and returned fire. It was a lot harder to hit these things when you actually had to duck from getting hit, and when they ducked your shots.
Jupiter: I thought you were a great shot!
Dan: Well, it's easier when these damn things don't move, and when the gun didn't try to take your arm off at the same time!
Dan figured this wasn't working. Although, he did have another idea...
Dan: Lita! Take my gun, and hold them off for a moment!
He slid the pistol across the floor to the other side of the hall where she was. She picked it up, and looked at it...
Jupiter: I'm not shooting this! I hate guns!
Dan: Come on! You have powers of mass destruction, and you're telling me that you won't ever fire a round from a pistol?! Look, it's either destroy, or be destroyed, and I'm not in the mood to be choice number two, so fire the damn thing!
She was convinced, so she began firing. She was able to control the blow back. Dan went into his left leg jumpsuit pocket, and pulled out a watch with a wire connecting to another apparatus that had an electronic board and a battery attached to it. He took off his other watch, and put the other device on.
He then pulled the trap off his belt, but it didn't have a foot trigger or a cord attached. Instead, an antenna connected to a box was on the back. He flipped a switch on the trap, then switched on the watch. The both of them had green lights meaning some kind of signal was established.
He pressed the mode button, and the trap wheeled itself towards the ghosts. When it got to all four ghosts, Dan pressed the light button, and the doors on the trap opened. The ghosts were sucked in, and the black and yellow stripped doors closed.
Dan stepped out of the room, and walked to the smoking trap. Jupiter followed carrying the pistol with her. Dan bent over, and picked up the trap, as Jupiter tried to wave the rotten smelling smoke away from her...
Jupiter: How did you do that without the cord and stuff?
Dan switched hands with the trap, then held up his arm that showed the watch attached to the circuit board...
Dan: This is a little invention of mine. It's called the trap control watch, and this ::holds up trap:: is the RCA Trap: Remotely Controlled/Activated trap. It's a surprise attack on a ghost. Egon and Ray weren't the only ones inventing stuff in secret.
Dan took back his pistol, and re-holstered it. He put the smoking trap into one off the conference rooms were it couldn't be bothered, so he could pick it up later. They continued walking around the level. Dan took his Ecto-Goggles, and looked around. Jupiter looked over, but became startled when she saw Dan wearing the unusual pair of goggles over his eyes...
Jupiter: You look freaky in those things!
Dan looked over to her...
Jupiter: Please, don't look at me with those things on!
Dan: What? I can't see under your clothing. They're not X-ray, ya know.
She just shook her head as he continued scans. There was a sudden increase and it was coming from a side. All of a sudden, Dan saw a spark on the inside of the goggles, and he felt a jerking on them. A blast from a alien-ghost figure blasted Dan's goggles from a side. It then tackled Dan from the same side.
Jupiter was about to help, when two hands busted through the floor, and grabbed her by the ankles. She fell forward face down to the floor. They started to pull her into a now massive hole in the floor. Dan wrestled on the floor with the ghost.
They continued rolling on top of each other. The ghost pinned his hands down on the ground. It's glowing green eyes began sucking in power, and was about to project a power beam out of it's eyes...
Dan: Man, this is gonna suck.
He shut his eyes. That was when out of nowhere, a yellow blast of energy hit the ghost in the head, and sent it back all the way to the other end of the room. It was too narrow and straight to be a proton beam, Dan thought. Dan turned over, and saw 4 figures before him. It was Sailor Moon, Peter Venkman, Ray Stantz and Sailor Venus. Venus was still in battle stands, with her finger pointing where the creature was. She then relaxed...
Dan: Guys! Thank god you're all alright!
Peter: Oh, come on, Dan. You know us better then to leave you.
Dan: Right.
There was a sudden scream. Dan looked around...
Dan: Shit! Sailor Jupiter, where are you?!
Dan didn't see her, but her voice was all he needed...
Jupiter: Help!
Dan ran in the direction of her voice. He found a hole, and saw Jupiter trying to hang onto the edge of it. She was slipping...
Jupiter: Dan, help me!
Dan dove and grabbed both of her hands just in time she let go of the edge.
Dan: Whoa! I gotcha!
The others ran up from behind, and helped. Ray un-holstered his pistol, and shot at the arms that was holding onto her. Dan and Peter, as quickly as they could, pulled Jupiter up, as Ray took the trap off his pack, and dropped it in the hole. After a slam of the petal, and a flash of light, he pulled the smoking trap out of the hole.
Dan grabbed ahold of Jupiter, and embraced her.
Dan: Lita, are you alright?
Jupiter: Well, I'm ok, but... Are you alright?
Dan: I shouldn't have left you ... I shouldn't have left you alone. I'm sorry!
Jupiter: Dan... It's alright. I'm ok. Calm down.
Dan let go of her, and he put his hands out where his palms were pointing outward.
Dan: Ok... You're ok...
He walked away from the group. Peter and Ray followed him, as all the Scouts that were present talked to each other...
Moon: What's the matter with him?
Venus: Yeah, it seemed like for a minuet he was extremely concerned for you, like he was supposed to be your protector, or something.
Jupiter: I don't know. I can almost feel his feelings. That's what I'm getting from him, too.
Dan stood in the middle of the room, and he had his hand on his forehead, as he spoke to Peter and Ray...
Dan: My God, I almost let her go. I'm a disgrace.
Peter: She's alright, there's not that much to worry about.
Dan: Peter, you don't know me like you think you do. Hell, this morning I thought I knew myself the way I did.
Ray: What does that mean?
Dan: What I mean is... ::lower tone:: I'm her protector. This was my destiny... to protect Sailor Jupiter.
Peter and Ray exchanged looks, then looked back at Dan...
Dan: Look, I'm serious. That dream was a warning. Jedite will probably kill her unless I stay at her side at all times.
Ray: Does she know this?
Dan: No, and I don't think I should tell her because it might be too big an impact on her. If you guys can, try not to tell her, or any of the others until I can figure out how I can tell her, ok?
They nodded. They walked over to the Scouts, then they walked out the stairway door.
