Dark Side Of The Moon
A Ghostbusters/Sailor Moon Crossover
By Dan Ectodude Shannon
Chapter 39
Shutting the Doorway
Heavy wind started picking up as Sailor Mars pulled herself free of the wall. The gate to the spirit realm continued to grow, and started sucking in loose debris from around the roof. Mars pulled and pulled until the slime finally gave way...
Mars: I'm free!
Winston: Quick, get us out of here!
After Mars completely pulled free, she helped Winston off the wall. Once everyone pulled off the wall, Peter headed toward the stairwell door, followed by Sailor Moon...
Peter: Come on! Lets get out of here before this thing gets us!
Mars: We can't leave it like this!
Ray: Yeah! It might suck us up anyway!
Venus: Amy, Dr. Spengler, what do we do?!
Egon took out his PKE meter, and took readings. Mercury typed furiously on her mini-computer as she and Egon both calculated...
Mercury: At the rate of expansion, the portal will continue expanding until the end of time!
Egon: Correct! Unless we reverse the flow, and make the portal collapse on itself with in the next 5.37 minuets, it will be unstoppable!
Ray: What do you think we should do to reverse the process?!
Egon: We'll use the power of the portal to first suck all the sub-demons out of the building, and then we use it to close it upon itself! Everyone make a circle around it!
Winston: What about Dan?!
Mercury: Buy the time you try to fish him out, it'll be too late to close the portal!
Peter: You're not saying...!
Mars: You can't be serious, Amy!
Egon: I'm afraid she is! Dan's going to have to stay in the realm!
Moon: No!
Winston: No, Egon! We have to pull him out! We can't leave him in there!
Egon: I'm sorry, Winston! It has to be!
Winston walks up to Egon, and grabs him by the front of his suit...
Winston: NO! WE'RE ALL GOING HOME! TOGETHER!
Ray and Peter walk up, and pulled them apart. Ray holds Winston back as he tries to explain...
Ray: Winston, I know it's a hard thing, but we can't help it! Dan was a friend of all of us, but we can't help him now! But, if we don't close this thing, we're all going to get sucked in!
Egon: Come on! We have little time! Positions!
The Scouts watched as the remaining Ghostbusters surrounded the portal. With a click of the switches, the Proton Packs kicked on with life, making their ever-famed mechanical whirling sound. As they aimed the throwers, Egon yelled at the top of his voice, over the rustling over the wind, instruction to the other Ghostbusters...
Egon: Arm nuclear accelerators! Wide angle! Ready?!
Others: Ready!
Egon: Alright... FIRE!
4 proton beams, all shooting from different directions, ripped through the air, and struck the portal. A sudden rumbling came about the ground and a thunderous growl filled the clearing as the beams tore into the fabric of the very space of the portal. Egon reached behind him to the red mode selector switch on the back of his pack, as he yelled out...
Egon: Ok! Go to full inversion mode... NOW!
He pushed down on the switch the same time as the others, switching it to Inversion Mode. The packs vibrated with power, and the beams were now being reflected off the surface of the portal. The beams shot over the sides of the building, striking the windows of nearby buildings...
Egon: Change modulations to frequency 117.28! It'll attract to the supports of the building, and use it as a magnet for all the entities!
Upon frequency change, the beams attracted to the support structure of the building. Throughout Starlight Tower, stray demons are struck by the attractive force of the positively charged particles in the air. They slid across the floor, and strike the beams of the building. Many of the possessed people become de-possessed as the demons are striped from their bodies.
Egon: Ok, switch back to capture mode... NOW!
With a depression of the mode switch, the ghosts turn into small balls of light, and pass through, floor by floor, to the roof, where they get sucked into the portal.
All wasn't so spectacular, when the packs started sputtering again. Meaning only one thing...
Ray: We're running out of power again!
Egon: The packs must not have fully recharged after the fight with the demons!
Peter: Let me guess: Big trouble?!
Winston: What are we gonna do?!
That was when suddenly, the Sailor Scouts gripped ahold of the Proton Packs. Mercury to Egon, Mars to Winston, Venus to Ray, and Moon to Peter. They concentrated hard and the crystals in each of their tiaras glowed. Energies of the Scouts respective colors loomed around the Ghostbusters Proton Packs, and changed the colors of the particle beams.
Winston's beam became red with purple arcs, Egon's became blue with aqua arcs, Ray's became orange with yellow arcs, and Peter's became white with pink arcs. A sudden bolt of power shot from the throwers, almost knocking everyone back. Being totally confused by how such a power conversion happened, Egon yelled over his shoulder to Mercury...
Egon: How is this happening?!
Mercury: Right before Dan got thrown into the portal, he picked up his accelerator, and shot at Jedite! When Dan concentrated his power into his accelerator, the same effects in which happened then are happening now with your accelerators!
Mars: Call it a "Power Boost"!
After a moment, the portal started shrinking. The wind continued increasing as the size of the portal decreased. The packs, now being fully charged, and still charging, started to violently vibrate. The overload alarms started sounding as the throwers started heating. The pitch of the whirling of the packs became higher. The portal shrunk and shrunk, but then became stuck. It stopped shrinking. Then, in a sudden shot, the portal completely closed in on itself. A large explosion occurred, knocking everyone into the walls around the roof.
The sky began to clear. The thunder and lightning abruptly stopped, and the clouds scattered, reveling the moon's light. A green fog was the last that was left covering the roof of the building. Sailor Moon was the first to sit up. She looked around, and saw the green fog was thick. She looked over to Peter, who was next to her, and checked to see if he was alright...
Moon: Dr. Venkman? Dr. Venkman, are you alright?
Peter sat up beside her, wincing in pain as he tried to regain his senses...
Peter: I'm getting too old for this shit.
He stood up, and then helped Sailor Moon up.
Peter: Winston! Egon!
Moon: Amy! Mina!
Peter: Is everyone alright?!
Sailor Mars and Winston stood up slowly...
Winston: Ugh... It feels like I just got launched out of a cannon!
Something strange began happening. The unusual green fog flowed throughout the building, and seeped into the bodies of the people in comas. One by one, people started waking up. On the 50th floor, the green fog was absorbed into Darien's body. He woke up with a start, and sat up. He pulled the suit jacket off his head, and looked at it with curiosity.
The fog collected over by the array, as it simply hovered above Sailor Jupiter. It slowly absorbed into her skin. The color rushed back into her skin, and her crystal in her tiara shined bright as her eyes opened. She sat up, and looked around. When she shifted her hand from on the ground, she felt something in her hand. She lifted it up, and saw a small stainless steel object in her hand. It's was Dan's lighter.
Jupiter stood up, but stumbled a little. She walked slowly down the stairs from the array. She walked along the wall, and came out of the shadows. She saw the other Scouts and the Ghostbusters there, looking over what was not a small black mark on the floor.
Jupiter: ::weakly:: Where's Dan?
Everyone turned their attention to her with the look of surprise...
Venus: Lita... Is that you?
Jupiter: Yes, it's me.
Winston: We thought you died!
Jupiter: I know, it's weird. I mean, I *was* dead!
Moon: Are you alright?
Jupiter: Yeah, I'm fine... but where's Dan?
Everyone looked down to the mark on the floor. Winston walked over to her with his head down...
Winston: Uh, Lita... I don't know how to say this, so I'm going to just say it. ::looks up:: Dan was... sucked into a portal Jedite had opened.
Jupiter was stunned. She looked at him frightened. It couldn't be true, she thought...
Jupiter: Did you pull him out?! Where is he?!
Winston: We had little time, and to get him out would have been too late. We had to...
Jupiter: What?! Had to what?!
Winston: We had to seal the portal with him in it.
Jupiter started shaking her head as a tear streaked down her cheek...
Jupiter: No. No! It's not true!
Winston: I'm sorry, Lita... I'm afraid it is.
Jupiter walked past Winston while still looking at him. She pivoted, and walked backwards still looking to Winston. She still shook her head. She couldn't comprehend the thought. She tripped over the floor. She started crying. She looked up to the rapidly clearing sky...
Jupiter: No! Dan!
She fell to her knees, and hung her head. Her voice was now just above a whisper as she looked to the floor crying...
Jupiter: No...
Ray looked to her, and looked to the spot on the floor...
Ray: Dan...
His voice trailed off as everyone looked to the floor. That was then it happened. The green fog that had replenished the lives of those in the building started pulling into the center of the mark where the portal once was, next to where Jupiter was. The fog started shaping into what was a human form. A silent flash of green light, a frosted body dressed in green appeared, sprawled out on the floor...
Jupiter Knight had returned.
Sailor Jupiter looked up, and saw him. He sat up, and looked over to her, both with shock ridden on their faces...
Sailor Jupiter: Dan?!
Jupiter Knight: Lita?!
They both screamed, and grabbed ahold of each other. Everyone's attention was diverted to them. They let out a sigh of relief that both of them were alright. As the couple embraced each other, they spoke...
Jupiter Knight: I thought you died!
Sailor Jupiter: I thought you disappeared!
Knight looked to Jupiter. He reached into his pocket, and pulled out her earrings...
Knight: I believe these are yours?
Jupiter: Thank you! I think I have something of yours as well...
She handed him the lighter. He it in his pocket, and she put the earrings on, they both stood up, and looked into each others eyes...
Jupiter: Do you remember... When you said you were madly in love with me?
Knight: Yeah?
Jupiter: Well, you should, my Knight in Shining Armor!
They started kissing. Everyone hooted as they did.
***
Police cars, Fire trucks and EMS vehicles lined the streets around Starlight Tower. Sanitation crews cleaned up glass, and multiple parts of splattered sub-demons. The Ghostbusters, and the now detransformed Sailor Scouts walked out of the doors on ground floor. Dan had his arm around Lita, holding her close. The flashing of red and blue lights filled the surrounding, and by one of the cars, American Ambassador Roger Flint stood. He walked over, and yelled to the top of his voice at Dan...
Roger: WHAT IN THE FLYING FUCK HAPPENED HERE TONIGHT?! I told you to preserve! Not destroy! If we wanted to destroy things, I would have done it personally! Just for all the damage you caused here tonight, YOU'RE GETTING NO PAYCHECK FOR THIS!
Dan and Lita looked at each other...
Lita: In that case, this wouldn't matter!
Lita turned around, and slugged Flint in the face. He tumbled into the side of a police car as he rubbed his face. Dan started laughing as he pointed to Lita...
Dan: I *LOVE* this girl!
They kiss again. The sight of it all makes Serena think about Darien. She starts crying. Noticing this, Peter immediately goes into concern...
Peter: What's wrong, Serena?
Serena: My boyfriend was in there. Dan said he died. I'd do anything to see him again.
A voice called out from behind them...
Voice: Sereennaa!
It continued ringing out until she turned around. There, in the destroyed doorway, was Darien. She left Peter's side, and ran to him. She jumped into his arms, and hugged. Peter walked up to them, with a smile on his face...
Peter: Doesn't look like you needed to do anything.
They looked over to Peter, still smiling.
Peter: I'm sorry. Peter's the name...
Darien: I know. Thank you for all your help. If it weren't for you... and especially Dan... we'd all be done for. ::Extends hand:: Thank you.
They grabbed hands, and shook. It had been a very exciting night indeed, for everyone now had the chance... to go home.
