For the last 19 floors, no one saw or heard a thing from the ghosts. The Sailor Scouts were a little winded, but they were out-running the Ghostbusters, who were lagging behind about a flight and a half. The girls stopped as they waited for them...
Moon: Geez, you guys are slow!
Dan: Hey, I've got an idea, how about YOU run up the stairs with a 50 pound nuclear accelerator!
Ray: Really. You have to remember we're carrying this stuff. After a while it can wear on you.
Peter, who was behind the rest of them, was starting to have a hard time standing. He leaned on the hand rail as he hung one of his arms over the side...
Peter: ::panting:: We have to... find a place... to rest... for a moment.
Jupiter: Alright, but we better be quick. About 5 minuets?
Dan: No, you have to at the least give us 15, because my feet feel too much like lead.
The girls looked at each other and shrugged...
Venus: Ok, sounds good.
Dan: ::under breath:: Thank the lord!
Ray: Ok, ::points to 32nd level door:: lets see if there's a break room in there.
Jupiter: Ok, we'll meet you boys in there.
After Sailor Moon, Sailor Venus and Sailor Jupiter walked in the door...
Dan: Man, they're going to kill us before Jedite does. I still don't know why we didn't take the elevator.
Ray: He could just snap the cables on us.
Dan: Good point. ::takes off hat and scratches head::
Peter: Christ, even Dana's apartment didn't have this many steps. That's including the ones to the gateway.
Dan: Dana?
Ray: Long story.
Dan: Ah.
Dan put his hat back on, and they all walked up the rest of the flight of stairs. They walked in, and immediately saw the Scouts fighting with sub-demons.
Ghostbusters: She-ieate!
All three men unhooked their Neutrona Wands, and began firing. Instead of being incinerated like at the airport, the ghosts were just thrown back. The ghosts turned their attention to them, and started firing out their palms. They split up, and ran around the firing demons to their respective Sailor Scout: Peter to Moon, Ray to Venus, and obviously Dan to Jupiter.
Dan jumped over a metal desk, and pushed the front side down, as he then proceeded to pull Jupiter down under it. He un-holster the pistol, and flipped it on. He couldn't see the others, but he assumed they were behind cubicle walls, or something protective. Dan went over the side of the desk, and fired a couple of shots, then went back over the side to shield himself. They heard the energy blasts ricocheting off the metal of the desk...
Jupiter: What do we do!?
Dan: I'll try to draw their fire, and you go around the cubicles, back out the stairway doors! See if you can grab the others, and relay the message!
Jupiter: Isn't that a little dangerous?!
Upon saying that, one of the energy blasts came through the desk, right between Jupiter and Dan...
Dan: No more dangerous than this! ::Peers over desk:: Ready! GO!
Dan jumped up, and started firing. Jupiter ran from behind the desk, and around the cubicles. Dan yelled as loud has he could...
Dan: GUYS, IF YOU'RE OUT THERE, FIRE AT THESE THINGS!
Dan saw two proton beams ring out of the left end on the room. Meanwhile, in a cubicle closest to the window, all three Sailor Scouts and Ray Stantz stood. Ray was firing at the demons, every so often stopping to readjust the setting on his thrower, then continuing. While he was making changes, he told the Scouts he was going to count to three, then they would run to the stairwell. He aimed, and steadied his thrower, and began counting...
Ray: Alright... ::aims:: One... two...
Jupiter: Three!
Jupiter was the only one that ran out. She stopped when she realized when she was alone: She had gotten ahead of herself. The ghost that Ray had been blasting, had quickly regained it's senses, and saw Sailor Jupiter all alone in front of the window. Ray tried to fire at it before it did something, but it was too late, for it had fired an energy blast off. It didn't hit her, but it hit the window, and made a crack in it.
Dan sensed something happening from her: Extreme fear. He saw flashes of the crack in the window, and figured out what was wrong.
Dan: Oh, fuck!
Dan suddenly got his act together, turned the pistol power on high, and blasted each demon in front him with one blast each, instantly turning them into piles of slime. He hopped over the turned over desk, and bolted towards the window. A whistling was heard from the small hole. From the elevation they were at, the air pressure strained the crack in the window, then it exploded, sucking Sailor Jupiter out.
On her way down, she grabbed a piece of aluminum trim from around the window, and hung on. It wasn't long before the trim pulled away from the window, and was now starting to bend. She was screaming...
Jupiter: HELP ME, JUPITER! HELP ME!
Ray shook his head. He didn't hear what he thought he heard...
Dan ran, then dove on top of what was left of the ghosts slime, and slid across the floor like a slip-n-slide. He got to the edge of the window, and grabbed Jupiter's hand. He started pulling up, when another alien-ghost thing hit him from a side. He lost his grip, and dropped Jupiter. She was still holding on the aluminum, but the impact tore it in the fold of the bend.
Dan got the demon on the bottoms of his feet, and while on his back, kicked the ghost off of him. He rolled over to see what happened to Jupiter, and saw that she was still there. When he tried to get ahold of her, the aluminum broke... And Jupiter was sent careening to the ground, screaming.
Dan stood up, took off his hat, and jumped out of the window after her. In midair, he strapped the arm brace in place, and hit the switch on his belt. The wings unfolded, and he turned the dial on the straps of the brace to "MAX." The thrusters fired on high blast, and Dan was sent downward faster than he was in regular freefall.
He saw Jupiter, still falling. He moved himself toward her, and slowed the thrust on the propulsion. He flew around her until they were face-to-face. When she saw him, she stopped screaming...
Jupiter: DAN?!?!
Dan fought the rustling of the wind resistance to yell...
Dan: Put your arms around me!
She did, and with his one free hand, held onto her as tight as he could. Dan kicked the thrusters, and set themselves where they were falling feet first into the ground. He then turned the throttle back on "MAX" and they started to slow down, but wasn't enough. The ground was still coming up fast. He then proceeded to flip up a button cover on the top of the joystick, and pressed the button that was under it. There was a sudden burst of acceleration, as they slowed more.
By the time they completely stopped falling, they touched the ground softly. Dan switched modes from flight to hover, as the both of them looked at each other. After a moment, Jupiter fainted. Her head fell on Dan's shoulder. He smiled, as he let out a sigh...
Dan: Very princess-like.
Dan turned the acceleration to 80 knots, and they flew back up to level 32.
