LENG: Another chapter up! I'm SOOOOOOOOO HAPPY!
Zaki: LENG?
LENG: yah?
Zaki: You're a wimp.

Deep within the premises of the factory, the little sparrow descended down next to an evil looking two-headed cockatoo.
"Wark? Wark?"
"Chrrirrrp! CHRRIIRRIIPP! Chirp!"
"WAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRKKKKKK?"
(A/N: In order to continue on from here, the bird dialogue will be translated to English from this point on. Apologies to purists.)
"What brings you, comrade?" queried the left head.
"Lord Lichmonde has sent human scum into our midst." The sparrow began matter-of-factly.
"WHAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTT?"
The sparrow winced. The left head grinned bird style. "Sorry. I just always wanted to do that."
The right head muttered something about having more control over outbursts and clunked Leftie upside the head.
The sparrow ruffled his feathers. "His Highest demands them 'purified' one by one. He wants no questions, but a handsome reward will be divided amongst you."
The cockatoo shrugged and revealed its true form. "Who's to question Lord Lichmonde anyway? We'll do his will at once."
"One more thing, boys." The sparrow spread his wings and took flight again. "Bring the girl to our Lord's roost alive. He has some...plans with her."
The feathery humanoid nodded both heads, and the two ghosts parted company.

"Found anything?"
Garrett looked up and counted off his fingers. "Let's see... Floor dust, wall dust, table dust, chair dust..." he was cut off by another sneeze. "...And possible cold germs."
Kylie sighed and rolled her eyes in perfect mimicking of her dead brother. "I meant anything ectoplamatically-based?"
Garrett suddenly felt...naughty. "Sorry. Not my line. Go check with the Gothic gal that took over your body."
Kylie glared in his general direction. "Don't EVER call me that."
/ Man, she's so damn cute when she's mad. / Garrett grinned like an idiot. "C'mon, chickadee. Don't kill me cos' I love your hair. OW!"
Kylie smirked with satisfaction as Garrett tried to shake an angry black canine off his hand. "I wouldn't, but my personal bodyguard here might."
"Letgoletgoletgoletgo!"
Sidus looked the redhead dead in the eye for a minute before he released, leaving even the glove still intact. (A/N: Did you think I would let my OC hurt any EGB besides Eddie? Puhleeeeeeez!)
"Hey. Look at this."
Roland picked a feather off the ground. It was glowing faintly. With his other hand, he held up his pke meter.
"That our ghost?"
Roland shook his head. "Not likely. We've been picking up class 5 across the hallway. But according to these, this feather came from a class 8."
"So Tweety's got friends?"
"You could term it that way." Roland put the feather away for Egon. "I'm going to get a couple more traps. Garrett, you coming?"
Garrett followed, muttering something about a rabid monster breaking his finger joints.
Just as they left the door, Eduardo let off a sneeze that echoed across the walls.
The door slammed shut and cut out all the light.
"Hey! I didn't sneeze that hard!"
~ * ~ * ~ * ~
Roland and Garrett glanced back behind them at the door.
Roland reached forward to open it again. The knob would not even turn. "What's going on here?"
A low hiss of rushing air echoed across the hall. Garrett looked up. "Oh man..."
Roland got his cue and looked up as well.
Standing on a supporting ceiling beam was a large feather-covered winged creature with the head features of an overly large wild turkey.
"That's gotta be our spook."
"Or an escapee from Janine's oven."
The turkey-monster raised a clawed hand and screeched.
Garrett immediately raised his proton gun and fired. The creature shrieked and hissed as it tried to free itself from the green proton energy.
"Trap it!"
"I haven't got a trap! It's in the-" There was a thud and Roland passed out on the floor
"Roland?" Garrett lost concentration and accidentally released his captive. The half-bird wasted no time in knocking him senseless as well.
A second ghost fowler joined it in inspecting their would-be captors.
"Humph. Too easy."
~ * ~ * ~ * ~
Eduardo kicked the door again. "Darn things jammed."
There was a moment of silence.
"So, now what do we do?"
Eduardo shrugged. "We just keep going?"
"Good idea. This way."
Kylie opened another door and led the way deeper into the factory.

Zaki: That's two down, three more to go, and LENG is nuts.
LENG: HEY!
Zaki: That part where Garrett's naughty is very disturbing.
LENG: That was meant to be the slight Garrett/Kylie hint.
Zaki: You're bound to get someone upset.
LENG: And what would they do to me?
LENG is answered... by a spiked anvil that is presently covered with blood- covered dead ducks.
Zaki: I think that's your answer.
LENG: DON'T HURT MEH!
