Jedite stood in utter surprise as Jupiter Knight walked closer to the control room he was atop of. Knight's coat, which was olive drab green leather with the symbol of Jupiter embroidered in pink on his right sleeve, waved in the wind as he approached. Knight's green eyes were the only things visible under the bill of the hat. They had grown wide with anger and hatred as he stared at Jedite.

Jedite: Jupiter Knight?

A smirk came across Jedite's face as he realized who was Knight...

Jedite: Well... It seems you weren't just a stupid Mortal after all.

Knight narrowed his eyes, and continued to gaze angrily at the dead Negaverse General. His deep, gruff, stern voice told more then the words he spoke with it.

Knight: Before this night is out... I'm going... to send you... to hell.

Jedite: Not if you're there first! TAKE HIM!

Sub-Demons of all colors surrounded Jupiter Knight... around 35 demons that were not destroyed. He wasn't too fazed. He looked around him...

Knight: Ok... Who wants their ass kicked first?

A red demon came up from behind, and was about to blast him, when Knight swung around, cracking the demon in the face, snapping its neck in the process. It fell to the ground, then turned into slime.

Knight: Who's next?!

A pack of demons, lead by a single purple demon, lash out. Knight reaches behind him, pulling a silver samurai-like sword with small emeralds embedded in its handle from the back-scabbard of the longcoat. The demons surrounded, and one by one, thrashed out. Knight moves like lightning, hacking his way into 3 or 4 charging demons at a time. He spins again, cuts another demon clean in half.

Suddenly, something big rose up behind him. In a flash, Knight swings his sword downward, cutting off the demon's right hand at the elbow. The severed limb falls to the floor, but it doesn't slow the hulking creature down. It slams into Knight, and sends him flying backwards thirty feet, tumbling across the floor, and eventually slamming into the rear wall so hard that a large crack formed in the cement wall.

Knight suddenly finds himself wrestling with a feral-faced nine-foot-something nightmare. The Demon rears back its head, jaws stretching wide. Knight forces an elbow against it's throat, trying to keep it at bay. With his other hand he reaches to his coat, and pulls out his ED Pistol, which he was still holding onto. He shoves the barrel of the gun into the demon's larynx, and pulls the trigger. It vanishes into a puddle of ectoplasmic residue.

Knight: Damn, that's rank!

Back over at the one base of the array, Egon and the Sailor Scouts tried desperately to pull free from the adhesive slime, while Peter, Ray and Winston watched in amazement. While the fight continued, the three Ghostbusters' mouths were open...

Ray: He's... He's one of them!

Winston: Of all the weird things I've seen in this job... this tops them all!

Peter: Egon, you kidder! You knew all along, didn't you?!

Egon: I figured if I told you, you might have lost trust in who Dan was! As you can guess, I had my reasons!

Mars: Can anyone pull free?!

Mercury: I can't!

Venus: No!

Moon: No!

Egon: I've got an idea! Mercury, on my belt is a holster! It has my Destabilizing Pistol. Can you try and reach for it?!

Mercury: I'll try!

Another group of demons move at incredible speeds, to try and match Knight's. He senses them approaching at high velocity and runs to the other end of the open space between the control room and the base of the array. When the demons thought they had Knight cornered, he ran up the wall, and flipped over the demons' heads. When he landed behind them, he pulled out the sword, and with a number of quick swipes, wiped out all of the demons.

Very few stray demons were left, and tried one at a time to apprehend Knight. A green demon pulled a copper pipe out of a nearby wall, with water spewing out of the hole. The demon sped towards Knight, whipping the pipe back and forth. Knight blocked multiple blows with his sword. He goes into a low kick, sweeping the demons legs from underneath itself. He took the pipe the demon had, and took a quick stab to it's head, killing it.

Three demons that were lined up behind each other, approached him. Knight took the pipe, and slammed it into the first demon's chest. He then launches a spinning wheel kick into the end of the pipe, sending it through the first demon, and through the other two. They convulse, and drop into slime puddles.

Another demon, this time a purple one, begins shooting multiple PKE bolts at him. Knight reflects each bolt off the sword into other directions, some striking other demons caught in the crossfire. The demon stops a beat, allowing Knight to make a move. He flings the sword, sending it spinning end over end. It becomes embedded into the demons head, and is then thrown backwards from the force of impact into the wall behind it, pinning the demon to the wall.

An orange demon begins chasing after Knight again. He runs to a corner, pushes off the wall while jumping and turning around, and while airborne, wraps one of his legs around the demon's neck. As he hit the ground, the demon's neck snaps.

Back at the control room, Jedite was totally amazed that Jupiter Knight is wiping out all of his demons with just himself. Along the wall, Mercury is stretching her hand as far as she can reach to grab the ED Pistol on Egon's belt. The tips of her fingers are barely touching the back of the Pistol's handle.

Mercury: I can... almost... reach it!

Mars: Come on, Amy! Keep trying!

Peter: Wait a minuet... What are you going to do with the pistol, Speges?!

Egon: Mercury is going to shoot the slime off of one of my hands, and that way, I'll be able to pull myself free!

Venus: Isn't that dangerous?! What if she misses?!

Egon: Total particle destabilization!

Winston: In other words: All your atoms take separate vacations!

Mercury: I'll try not to miss!

A demon fights with Jupiter Knight hand-n-hand. Knight blocks each blow from the demon, and visa-verse. The both of them lock fists with each other, until the demon forces him backward into a wall. Another demon comes from a side, and starts rushing toward him, as the one that pushed him into the wall. Knight sees his sword, still stuck in the wall, with ectoplasm dripping from the blade. He runs up, and grabs the sword in time to slice a demon that had jumped in the way to intercept in half.

Knight stopped, and put the sword back into the scabbard, which was strapped upward in the center of his back. Lightning flashed in the sky, then became attracted to the sword, as he began an attack...

Knight: Jupiter... Electromagnetic...!

He then abruptly threw his arms open...

Knight: FLUX!

The electricity arced from the sword to his body, then sending a green light off the surface of his body. The pulse of energy slammed into all the remaining demons on the roof, and blasted them over the sides of the building. The pulse slammed into Jedite, but was able to brace himself. The Scouts and Ghostbusters had to squeeze their eyes shut from the intense light the emanated from both the lightning attraction, and the attack. After a moment, the smoke cleared...

Knight: Now THAT'S what I call Ghostbustin'!

Knight looked over, and saw that Jedite had disappeared. He didn't see him anyplace. He turned back to the others who were slimed to the wall. He started walking over to them, as he spoke...

Knight: Hey, you guys alright?

Mars: Yeah. Can you get us out of here?

As Jupiter Knight walked up to Sailor Mars to get her free, she suddenly screamed out...

Mars: DAN! LOOK OUT BEHIND YOU!

Before he could catch on, Jedite appeared behind him, and slammed both of his fists into Knight's back. He collapsed to his knees, and was wrapped on the side of the head. Knight skidded across the floor from Jedite's blow into a nearby wall. He sat up quickly...

Knight: ::groan:: I said it before, and I'll say it again: This was NOT in the job description!

He stood up again. Jedite disappeared again. Knight pulled his sword from the scabbard, and looked around eagerly.

Knight: Where is that little bastard?

Speak of the Devil...

Jedite: I can see you, Knight... Can you see me?

Knight: Are you going to stop being a puss, and fight like living person?! Huh?!

Jedite: For a stupid mortal, you show poor sportsmanship!

Jedite reappeared behind Knight for a second blow, when Knight sensed him. He turned around, and grabbed Jedite's arms in mid-swing. He spoke in his low-tone voice...

Knight: Lets get one thing straight... The name's Shannon... Learn it well.

Knight smashed the hilt of the sword into Jedite's face. Jedite staggered backwards a bit, then looks at him. Green ectoplasm trickled down his face from an open gash in his form where the sword struck him. Jedite looked at him angrily...

Jedite: You pay for that, you pathetic fool!

Knight: I'll pay? I'll pay?! For what you have cost me, your payment makes my payment look like chicken shit!

Jedite looked at him with confusion as Knight continued...

Knight: You drag my ass here, put me through hell... you kill her... and *I'm* going to pay?! Well, guess what, Mr. Wonderful? Your mouth just wrote a check your ass can't cash!

Knight got into fighting stands once again...

Knight: It's go time, dickhead!

Jupiter Knight and Jedite stood fast. It has begun.
