Chapter 28
Can't Get A Break
9:47
After the small episode on level 32, all six of the present people decided they were going to need a break, but it was going to have to be on a level where it wasn't swarming with paranormal activity. On the 43rd floor the stairwell door opened as Peter held the door open for Dan, who was holding Sailor Jupiter, and for the other Sailor Scouts.
He let go of the door, and the door slammed into Ray's face. He turned around, and watched Ray walk out of the door with a scowl. A pain struck face appeared on Peter's face...
Peter: Oops! Sorry, Ray.
Dan walked to a open conference room, and laid Jupiter on the table as Sailor Moon and Sailor Venus walked in, then shortly after, followed in by Peter and Ray. As Dan checked Jupiter's pulse, he spoke...
Dan: Ray, you and Sailor Venus walk around, and take a scan of the level to see if there's anything around.
Ray and Venus: Ok.
Dan: Peter, you and Sailor Moon find the break room, and get something for everyone to drink, or something. Alright?
Moon: Ok.
Peter: Sure. Anything in particular?
Dan: Coke.
Ray: Same.
Venus: Nothing for me.
Peter: Anything else?
Dan: Get some water for Lita, too.
After that, the others left, leaving Dan and Jupiter alone.
Peter and Moon walked into the break room that was around the corner. The stagnant white of the walls and cabinets were stained by black burn marks left on them. Peter walked up to the Coke machine, and put in the change. He pressed the button, but the can didn't come out. He hit it again, and nothing. He started banging on the side of it...
Peter: Damn thing! Come on!
Moon: What's the matter with it?
Peter: Stupid machine ate my money!
He un-holstered the ED pistol, and turned it on. Sailor Moon yelped as sparks flew from the Proton Blast hitting the lock on the door of the machine. He went in, grabbed the Cokes, and turned to the water cooler as he spoke...
Peter: The ghosts did that. You remember that, ok?
She nodded her head as he pulled a small paper cup from the side of the cooler, and began filling it.
Back in the conference room, Dan sat beside the table, looking at Sailor Jupiter. She was so beautiful, he couldn't begin to describe. For some odd reason, his love for her increased watching her sleep. So peaceful... She was truly a princess. He thought to himself what it was like back in the "Silver Millennium" with her, more or less, at all. If she was reborn from after that battle... Where did he come from? Did he come from the same era?
Peter: Dan, heads up!
Peter tossed the Coke can to Dan, as he caught it midair without turning around. It was a weird reflex action he's never done before. It was like he could see it coming, yet didn't actually look for it.
Dan: That was odd.
Peter: I know it's written in Japanese, but I'm very sure it's Coke.
Dan: No, not that. I didn't even see you throw the can at me, but for some reason, I knew it was there.
Moon: What do you mean, exactly?
Dan: What I mean, is I foresaw it happening before it actually happened... Like a Jedi.
Dan looked over to the both of them, and found that they were giving him a bizarre look...
Dan: Never mind... Just, never mind!
Peter handed him the cup of water, and he dumped it on top of Jupiter's head. She awoke, and sat up quickly as she looked over to Dan...
Jupiter: Hey! What's the idea dumping water on my head?!
Dan: To wake you up?
It was at that moment, she remembered what happened...
Jupiter: Wait... I fell out of the window, didn't I?!
Dan: That's the looks of it, yeah.
Jupiter: Then, how...?
Dan: I jumped out after you, and then we both flew back up, but not after you fainted. Trust me, you're not dead, and this not hell, so you can relax.
She helped herself off the table, and wiped the water off her face. Dan and Jupiter looked at each other, and it appeared they both had something to say to each other, but then they suddenly realized Peter and Moon were still in the room...
Dan: Uh... Can we have a minuet alone? Please?
They nodded, then walked out. They faced each other again...
Dan and Jupiter: ::unison:: Well... You go first. ::both laugh::
Dan: Well, you go first.
Jupiter: Well... I uh... I don't know how to put it... ::pause::
Dan: Hey, it's ok. Take your time.
Jupiter: Well, from the first moment I saw you, there was something about you that I couldn't quite place. It felt like we had some kind of linking. Like there was a bond we had always had. I guess what I'm trying to say, is...Well, I'm in love with you.
Dan had the most blank, yet surprised expression one could register. It looked like he was just shocked with a stun-gun.
Jupiter: Dan? Dan?! Are you alright?! Say something!
There was a short pause...
Dan: Wow. Just... Wow.
He sat on the table while almost collapsing on it. How was he going to explain being Jupiter Knight to her now?
Jupiter: What was it you wanted to tell me?
He shook his head...
Dan: Well, I am... What I mean is, what I am, is...
Jupiter: Hey... It's alright. What ever it is, I'm sure I'll understand.
Dan picked up the Coke can, and was about to open it, when he felt it jerk in his hand. He looked down, and saw that the Coke was spewing out two holes in the bottom of the can. He lifted it up so both could see...
Dan: What in the...?
That was when screaming was heard on the outside of the room. Dan and Jupiter looked at each other, then ran out of the room. As soon as they stepped out of the door, a volley of black energy bolts came flying out of the left side. They ducked out behind a wall of cubicles, where they found Ray and Sailor Venus...
Venus: Guys! Are you alright?!
Jupiter: I think so! Where's Sailor Moon?!
Dan: And Venkman?!
Ray: They must still be out there!
Jupiter: Alright, I'll go after her!
Dan: Not without me, you're not!
Jupiter: No, you stay here!
Dan: No, I'm going with you!
Jupiter: Look, I have to protect my princess!
Dan: And so do I, so I'm going with you!
He pulled out his pistol, and turned it on.
Dan: You get behind me, and I'll cover you! Lets go!
Jupiter: ::thinking:: "And so do I"? What is that supposed to mean?
Dan: NOW!
He ran out from behind the cubicle walls, shooting in the general direction of the demons, with Jupiter following close behind him. She looked down the hallways for the missing princess and the Ghostbuster accompanying her. She finally saw them down one of the hallways she searched down...
Jupiter: Dan, over here!
He stopped, and backed up back around the corner. He continued to fire as she checked on the others. Peter was gripping his left arm...
Jupiter: Are you alright?
Peter: A blast nicked my arm, but give me a roll of duct tape, and I'll strap myself up. I'll be fine.
Looking around the corner, Dan saw a number of demons, along with 3 or 4 "Deadites." The demons were no longer orange. Their scaly skin was now green, and their pulses were bigger. He kept firing, but then he ran out of power. He looked at the LED power gauge, and only the last light was blinking...
Dan: Shit! Ray! I ran out of power in my pistol! How do I recharge this thing?!
From over the fire-fight, Ray yelled back...
Ray: There's a lead-lined cord on the motherboard of the pack, and it should have a Quik-Connector on the end of it! Pull it out, and hook it into the male end on the back of the pistol!
Dan reached behind him, and felt the cord. He pulled it out, and connected it to the connection in the back of the gun. The light bar began lighting up.
Dan: Thank you!
Dan rounded back around the corner, and began shooting again. Even on the highest setting the pistol could be set on, the blasts were only now affecting the demons little.
Dan: This isn't working anymore! We have to get out of here! Come on!
Sailor Jupiter grabbed ahold of Sailor Moon, and rushed out. Dan and Peter started their Proton Packs, jumped out, and started firing their throwers.
Peter: Put your thrower on full!
Dan: Go after the people first!
They did. Upon beam contact, the same thing happened with the other people. Black energy shot out their backs, and dispersed in the air like a cloud of smoke. As they fell to the ground, Dan and Peter went full blast, and knocked back the ghosts a couple feet. They shut down, and ran after the others.
After the demons got their bearings, they began firing once again. Peter ran behind the cubicle wall, and after nearly missing a blast, Dan dove behind.
Dan: Ray, what's the deal with these things?! I shot them with the pistol on high power, but they didn't destabilize! Why?!
Ray: They must have found a way to adapt to the power of our pistols! The only way you can destabilize them is by hitting a weak spot in their structure!
Venus: Like in Area 51! The different colors represent different levels of power!
Dan: That explains it! Jedite has no originality when it comes to monsters!
For the most part, they weren't paying attention to the demons, until the cubicles were suddenly ripped apart. Peter, Ray and Dan were about to fire, when the demons lifted them up, and slammed them against the wall. They then opened their mouths, and sprayed a highly adhesive slime on all of their limbs to the wall. They were stuck. All three scouts looked on in fear as the green-scaled demons turned around to them. Jupiter and Venus stood in front of Moon to protect her, but they feared it wasn't going to be enough.
As one of the demons leapt forward, Jupiter gave a sharp jab into its face. The demon stopped, but wasn't effected by the blow. Its bright, piercing green eyes looked into hers, and gave a sound as if it were pleased that she hit it. Her eyes were now filled with and extreme fear. After a split second, the beast latched onto her throat, and lifted her off the ground...
Dan: ::struggling:: You son-of-a-bitch! Let her go! YOU DON'T LET HER GO, I'LL KILL YOU!
Two more demons grabbed Sailor Moon and Sailor Venus, and began sucking energy out of them. No matter how hard they struggled, it dispensed the energy quicker. It was then, a female voice filled the clearing...
Voice: Mercury Ice Bubbles Freeze!
The two demons that held the two Scouts suddenly became embalmed in ice. Moon and Venus hit the floor just as a mechanical whirling filled the silence. A proton beam rang form behind, and when made contact with the demons, shattered them into numerous fragments of icy shards. Egon Spengler and Sailor Mercury had arrived.
Dan got enough strength to pull one of his hands free from the slime, and pulled himself off the wall. He ran up to the demon that was still holding Jupiter, and jumped on its back. He put it into a headlock, causing it to release her and try to grab ahold Dan...
Dan: Oh, no! Not this time, asshole! I've had enough flying for one week! This is payback for what your fucking little brother did to me!
He grabbed his arm with his other hand, and kept pulling on it, causing the demon to choke. He kept pulling until he heard a snap, and felt the demon drop to the floor. Dan got off it, and kicked it in the face...
Dan: Fucker.
It then disintegrated into a pile of slime. He turned to Jupiter, who was on her hands and knees trying to catch her breath. He helped her up...
Dan: Lita, are you alright?
She was shaken, and knees gave out. He proceeded to lift her up again...
Dan: ::grunts:: I guess I can take that as a, "No."
Jupiter: I... I saw... my life flash before me. My old friends... My parents...
Dan: Shhhh... It's alright. I'm here, and you're ok.
Egon and Mercury walked up to the pile of slime of what was the demon that grabbed Jupiter...
Egon: Fascinating.
Mercury: Quite. I always thought ghosts couldn't be killed or physically affected.
Egon: They cannot be killed, but can be harmed physically after it has a certain amount of ectoplasm and psychokinetic energy. They become more able to be affected by physical contact because it becomes a solid manifestation.
Dan: Well, it's nice to see you too, guys.
They turned their attention to Dan and Jupiter...
Mercury: We apologize, Dan. This is the first sub-demon we have encountered since our entrance into the building.
Egon: The readings throughout the building have been extraordinary, so extraordinary that we haven't been able to trace any ghosts unless in close perimeters, the PKE levels are so lofty.
Jupiter: Huh?
Dan: He means that there's so much ghost-like activity, he can't simply pinpoint where the ghosts are.
It was then, both Ghostbusters and both Sailor Scouts had their attention turned to the two men slimed against the wall...
Peter: Um, hello?! I don't want to be rude, but I don't want to stick around all day, PUN intended!
Dan: Nuts. ::to Jupiter:: Can you stand now?
Jupiter: Yeah.
Dan: Good. You and Mercury help the other Scouts, and me and Egon will get Peter and Ray down.
