Dark Side Of The Moon
A Ghostbusters/Sailor Moon Crossover

Chapter 34
Floor 101
11:36
With little less than 24 minuets left, the Sailor Scouts and the Ghostbusters ran as fast as they could up the stairs. Most of Ghostbusters were starting to slow, more then the Scouts. Dan, however, ran through his pain, and rushed faster and faster up the stairs. Thoughts of what might have happened to Sailor Jupiter ran through his mind. If Jedite did anything to her, he was going to kill that bastard again.
Everyone behind him started pleading for him to slow down a bit, but his mind was so far beyond his outside environment with exception of the stairs that he ignored them...
Moon: Come on, Dan! Can you please slow down?!
Winston: Man, will you please let us catch up?!
Ray tripped on the stairs, and fell into Mercury. She was then sent into Peter, and he was sent into Venus. Everyone stopped, except Dan, to help them. Egon called out to Dan. To his luck, Dan finally stopped...
Egon: Dan, hold up!
Dan ran back down the flight of stairs he just ran up, and stood at top of the other flight everyone else took a tumble on. He stood there anxious and agitated. His voice supplied the evidence he was more than that...
Dan: Come on, guys! We're on the hundred and first level! We're almost there! Seven more floors!
Dan heard everyone's heavy breathing from exhaustion, especially the veteran Ghostbusters'. All of them gave a glare expressing, "Are you kidding?"
Mars: Look, we really need to stop for a couple of minuets! Is that alright?!
A sour look came over his face, and he looked up the stairwell. He glanced at the trap control watch that was still strapped onto his arm. He stood uneasy in front of them for they had only 22 minuets. He rolled his eyes...
Dan: Fine! 5 minuets! We don't have anymore time!
He barged into the door that led into floor 101. Mars felt his anger, along with it great concern. She didn't know exactly why he did, though. She's noticed ever since she's reunited with him, he's been extremely angered. He even took on full vengeance on the ghost that possessed Venus then a normal "bust" for the other Ghostbusters, based on observation.
Nonetheless, she rushed up the stairs first, and walked in. Everyone else soon followed. Mars looked around for Dan, and found him sitting at a desk in a cubicle with his head in his arms that were folded across the desk. She felt his anguish, looming over something that has happened. His anger was turned inward, and outward. She walked into the cubicle space...
Mars: Dan?
Dan snapped at her...
Dan: What?!
Mars: Are you alright?
Dan: ::sarcastically:: Yeah... Fucking wonderful! What do you care?!
Mars: I don't know. I was wondering if we could... talk?
He raised his head up, and swiveled the seat around to look at her. He had a grim face, as if he just witnessed his own friend's death. She looked at him with worried eyes, while staying quiet. After a moment, he was about fed up...
Dan: Well? You got my attention! What the *hell* do you want?!
Mars: Alright, tell me the truth... What's bothering you? You seem really upset about something.
Dan plastered a really fake smile on his face, as he spoke in a angered, sarcastic tone...
Dan: You know what? Fine, I'll tell you!
He stood up abruptly, sending the chair backwards into the workspace's wall...
Dan: To begin with, I became a Ghostbuster! Then, I have a weird-ass dream about some girl in a bodysuit and a green skirt getting killed by an asshole who raided John Lennon's costume closet after he died! I get call from some dickhead saying that a bunch of idiots in a park that should be closed after dusk anyway disappear, and tells us to come and fix their fucking problem!
Dan's voice started projecting louder and louder. Mars was beginning to get frightened...
Dan: THEN! I get bashed, beaten, and get thrown from this stupid park into a fucking roof! I end up getting chewed out for saving my own ass by blowing up a couple of planes because they were about to run over me! I've only had 2 hours sleep in the last 3 days, I fall in love with a girl that isn't of this plane of existence, get stuck in this God Damn "Die Hard" scenario, she turns up captured, and on top of it all... I'M FUCKING JUPITER KNIGHT! DO YOU THINK THAT'S ENOUGH TO BE UPSET ABOUT?!?!
Mars jumped backwards, and tripped over a box of printing paper. She looked up at him with the frightened eyes of a child. There was a small psychotic laugh in Dan's voice as he spoke in a now normal volume of voice...
Dan: Do you even know what I've been through in the last 72 hours? Huh? Utter madness. They took the girl I was supposed to protect, even if it meant my pointless life. I failed my friends, I failed myself...
His voice was now just above a whisper as he hung his head...
Dan: ::remorsefully:: I failed her.
Mars helped herself up slowly. Dan looked back up to her, into her glassy eyes. She was more timid of him then she was with anyone else. Even Lita. She realized he could do more damage then any... *any*... of the other Sailor Scouts combined. He shook and dropped his head slightly, and spoke, still just above a whisper...
Dan: I'm sorry for yelling at you.
He made his way passed her, and walked into the greater office area of the level. After Dan left her sight, Mars walked over to the others with a grim look on her face. They surrounded her...
Mercury: Is everything alright? We heard Dan screaming!
Mars: He's... upset about Lita.
In a corridor not to far distant from the group, a shadowed figure walked slowly to the corner, and peered around it to look at the group of Sailor Scouts and Ghostbusters talking with each other. It stood there for some time, watching them. Another figure, but only partly seen, walks up behind the other figure.
The distinctive olive drab sleeve with a dark magenta cuff raised up, and in the hand of the figure was a pistol with a green canister sitting atop. On the top of the black box sitting behind the canister, was a toggle switch. Another hand from the figure came about, and flipped the switch to the left, turning the device on with a high pitched electronic "ping" noise.
The shadowed figure stood up straighter in awareness as the figure behind it raised the pistol higher as he spoke out to his mystery guest...
Dan: Turn around. Nice and slow.
It did so, with it's arms raised. It slowly walked into the light. Dan's face was ridded with shock, for Sailor Jupiter walked out of the shadows. She was bruised, cut and beaten. She looked at him faintly, eyes half open from exhaustion, possibly from fighting. She looked flushed. Her skin as white as a ghost's. She only said one thing...
Jupiter: Dan... ::faints::
Dan caught her in time. The others turned to the sound of Dan's pistol dropping on the floor from releasing it to catch Jupiter.
Dan: Help! Someone, get over here quick!

After Sailor Jupiter regained her strength, Winston patched her up as she explained what happened...
Jupiter: ... And after I went through the hole, I was suddenly transported to the roof. Jedite set me up with a challenge. They were coming around from all sides! After I beat the 3rd wave of attackers, I OW!
Winston applied the alcohol on an open gash on her right arm with a cloth. She winched as he cleaned the wound. After the sudden spark of pain faded, she picked up where she left off...
Jupiter: Anyway, after I beat those creeps to an oblivion, I ran out of the roof exit, and tried to find someone. I stopped in here to hide and rest, when I heard you guys walk in.
Egon: Is there any kind of inside information that we should know about?
Peter: Yeah, is there anything we can use against him?
Jupiter: I found he was collecting energy from the people he abducted, and using it to open a portal! I also found out why the ghosts were getting stronger, too. Every time you released the ghosts hold on the people, that releases their energy, and he uses that for the portal and the rest of the ghosts in the building!
Venus: You mean we've been helping that jerk this whole time?!
Dan: Damnit, I knew he was taking their energy for something!
Winston wrapped up the cut on Jupiter's arm, and tied it off...
Winston: Ok, you're all set.
Jupiter: Thanks, Ray.
Winston: I'm Winston. He's Ray. ::points to Ray::
Jupiter: Oh, sorry. My mind must be wandering.
Everyone looked at each other as she stood up and walked to the door. She stopped and turned around...
Jupiter: Come on! Lets get going!
Everyone except Dan and Egon walked out the door behind her.
Dan: Egon, I can't feel her.
Egon: Could you elucidate that?
Dan: What I mean is I'm supposed to have a physic link with her so I know if she's in trouble, but I can't feel anything.
Egon took out the PKE meter Ray was holding onto, and took a scan. He didn't anything more then the reading she was giving off normally.
Egon: She appears to be find. She might have a way of turning this ability off for certain reasons.
Dan pondered this for a moments, then nodded his head. The both of them hurried out the door as one last thought came to mind...
Dan: But the question is, why would she want to do that?
