The group was now on the very last flight of stairs that led to the door to the roof. Everyone stopped as Mercury and Egon took a scan.
Mercury: Negative.
Moon: Oh, that's bad!
Egon: No, negative is good.
Venus: I thought positive was good, and negative was bad?
Egon: No. There's negative readings. No readings are present.
Mars: Wait, you mean we came all the way up here... for nothing?
Mercury: I would highly doubt it, because it wouldn't be like Jedite to go to all this trouble for nothing. After all, Jupiter said he was up here.
Ray: Maybe someone should go out there, and drive them out.
Everyone looked at Peter...
Peter: Hold on... how about we draw straws?
There was a silence. Everyone looked uneasy.
Jupiter: I'll go.
Dan: No. ::grabs Jupiter's hand:: We'll go together. ::turns to Egon:: You guys stand ready. When we flush them out, fire at will.
Egon: Are you sure you want to do this?
Dan: Come on, with all the shit I've seen and been through tonight... why stop now?
They walked to the door, and with a turn of the handle, the door released with a *click*. Dan opened the door slowly as him and Jupiter peered from side to side out of the door jam. Dan walked out first, followed my Jupiter.
Looking around the roof, nothing was out of the ordinary. It looked like a normal setup for the top of any other business building: Access to control rooms, antenna arrays, a couple of vents, and elevator shafts. The only thing that was different was the fact the light beacons on top of the building and the arrays weren't on, along with the other lights on the roof.
They walked slowly into the open area on the roof. The clouds overhead darkened the sky of the stars, and the moon. A flash was seen in the distance, followed by a mild rolling thunder. The two looked around, but still didn't see anything. Dan took off the Blackhawks hat, and scratched his head, obviously confused for nothing was happening.
Dan: I don't get it. It's midnight, and that little...
It suddenly became cold as all the lights on the roof lit up. Dan covered his eyes as a floodlight brightened right where he was standing...
Dan: Shit!
He opened his eyes and looked around. Countless numbers of sub-demons surrounded him and Jupiter, and a voice was heard throughout the clearing...
Jedite: Hello, mortal! Glad to see you made it!
Jedite appeared atop of one of the control rooms, arms folded across his chest, and an evil smile stretching across his face. Dan dropped his hat, unhooked his thrower, and started his pack up. Jupiter, however, didn't do or say anything. She stood there with a blank expression on her face.
Dan: Look, hombre... I've had just about enough of your bullshit. I'm going to give you one last warning. If you don't comply, me and Jupiter are going to kick you ghostly white ass to the fifth dimension.
Jedite: I don't think Sailor Jupiter is going to want to help you.
Dan: Oh, really? Why's that?
Jedite: Because that's not the Jupiter you think you know.
Dan rendered a face of confusion as he turned to Jupiter. She suddenly grabbed him by the front of his uniform, and lifted him a foot off the ground. As Dan looked at her, her face began manipulating. Her face became wrinkled, then started deteriorating. Her eyes became blood red. She grew claws from her fingernails. Her spine suddenly split the back of the bodysuit of her uniform. Her forehead became deformed, and her eye sockets went out of alignment. She had turned into a hag.
By this point, Dan went completely ballistic...
Dan: WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO TO HER?!?!
Jedite: ::laughs:: That's not her, of course. You're precious Sailor Jupiter is safe...
He waved his hand to a side, and one of the arrays lit up. Underneath the top platform, a figure hung. Dan looked at it... It was Sailor Jupiter, hands tied, hanging by her wrists.
Jedite: Right here!
She saw him, and cried out...
Real Jupiter: DAN! HELP ME!
Dan: What are you going to do with her?!
Jedite: As they say, "That's for me to know, and you to find out." Kill him!
The hag unbuckled Dan from the pack, and shook him out of it. He fell to the ground as the hag strapped itself into the Proton Pack. It started firing at Dan. He rolled over, stood up, and tried to run for cover, but the Sub-Demons circled around to block his path. It fired another Proton Beam, and he dodged it. As he ran to the other end of the circle, the hag took a shot ahead of him, causing him to trip, and painfully hit the floor.
Dan looked up, and saw the hag above him, pointing the thrower in his face. A twisted smile came over the hag's face...
Hag: Now, it's time to DIE!
Dan suddenly realized he still had the trap control watch attached to his arm. A smirk came across his face...
Dan: Not by my watch, you Demon-Bitch!
He pressed the Start/Stop and Light buttons on the watch. A bright blue light emerged from behind the support frame of the pack, and the hag started screeching. It's midsection started caving in on itself. The rest of its body started getting compacted in the section the midsection started shrinking. After a moment, nothing was there except the Proton Pack hanging suspended in the air, then it fell to the floor as smoke came from underneath it.
Dan walked over, picked up the Proton Pack, and pulled out a hidden remote controlled Ghost Trap. The door of the stairwell was open the entire time, and the other witnessed what had happened...
Egon: Fascinating. A remotely activated portable ghost entrapment apparatus.
Ray: Yeah! I guess we have another electronic marvel working with us!
Jedite was surprised that the mortal found a way to contain one of his minions without the aid of the particle device. He became enraged, and formed a ball of energy in one of his hands. He pointed it toward Jupiter as he screamed out to Dan...
Jedite: Mortal! Take one last look at your precious princess!
Dan turned around, and saw the energy blast leave Jedite's hand. Jupiter screamed, and swung her legs wildly in the air, trying to move to avoid the blast. The continuous kicking made her turn to where her back was pointed to the blast. The blast soared up...
It struck her in the back.
Dan: NOOOOO! LITA!
Her body was limp. Her wild kicking had stopped, and she didn't respond. Jedite pointed to Dan, and yelled out to the demons...
Jedite: DESTROY HIM!
Dan was still holding onto the Proton Pack, but he didn't have enough time to put it back on. When the demons started firing, he dropped the pack, and started running to the far end of the roof. When they saw Dan blow through the front line of sub-demons, with a number of them firing behind them, the Sailor Scouts and the Ghostbusters rushed out, and tried to cover him. The demons turned their attention from the fleeing Ghostbuster to the larger group of their enemies.
Dan ran around the base of the array where Jupiter was hanging from, and tried looking for stairs. He looked up, saw her, still not moving. Lighting flashed across the sky, causing Dan to flinch. He looked over, and found the stairs. He ran up, and thought for a moment how he was going to get her down from the top of the array. He looked to the corner of the base, and saw thick cable and a pair of gloves. He grabbed the cable, flung it around his shoulder, and put the gloves on. He proceeded up the latter to the top of the array.
Mars: Mars... Fire... Ignite!
The fireball flew from her fingers, and collided with a row of demons. They turned into dust, but were soon replaced by more demons. The Proton Packs were set on continuous fire at the highest setting and the widest angle. Little hope was expressed as it was seen the beams were close to no longer being affective...
Peter: This isn't working!
Winston: We keep blasting these things but they keep coming!
Ray: Somehow they must be too powerful!
Venus: Well, they sucked enough energy out of those people they make them almost unstoppable!
Egon's eyes grew wide in realization...
Egon: ::to Venus:: Say that again?!
Venus: I said they sucked so much life-force energy...
Egon: That's it! Scouts, cover us!
Moon: You got it! Moon Scepter Elimination!
As the Sailor Scouts covered, Egon pulled out a screwdriver, and began alterations to his Proton Gun. The other Ghostbusters continued fire as they looked over to him...
Peter: Egon, what are you doing?!
Egon: Those creatures are being drivin by life-force energy! Their energy doesn't respond to the packs because the guns are only set to work against ectoplasmic energy forces!
Ray: I get it! Life-force energy is protoplasmic, therefore, working on a completely different level of ionization!
Egon: Correct, Ray! Goal one is to drive that energy out of them, and goal two is to vaporize them! Peter, Winston, you handle the energy depleted ghosts, Ray, hand me your thrower, and I'll change the polarity!
Dan was now 3 quarters of the way up the array. He looked down, and saw that he was extremely high off the ground. He clinched on the latter, and continued his way up. He just about came level with Jupiter's body, and started calling out to her...
Dan: Lita! Lita, can you hear me?! Come on, speak to me!
Her eyes opened weakly as she turned her head slowly.
Dan: Hold on! I'm coming for you! Just give me a minuet!
He climbed up the remainder of the latter, and walked around on the platform. He took out the ED pistol, and blasted a hole in the metal grid. He wrapped one end of the cable around a support girder, threw the rest of the cable down the hole, and used his weapon belt as a harness. He climbed down slowly until he was a couple of inches above her. He grabbed her around the waist, lifted her up, and get her to put her hands around his neck...
Dan: Alright, hold on tight!
He released her, and pulled the pistol out again. He blasted the chain that was holding her up, and with that, she was released from it. Dan loosened his grip, and they slid down the cable.
