For those of you who are fans of AJT's (most commonly known as Andrew Joshua Talon, both here at FF(dot)Net and TFF) work, you'll quickly realize where I got the inspiration for these snippets.
At TFF, he started a thread called Secret of Slime which was the basis of a Naruto/Ghostbusters X-Over. Many of his own snippets are included in his fic "Ramen Doodles", a drabble fic that is not unlike "The Archive Rejects", except that it caters solely to the Naruto fanbase.
The chapters are titled "Who You Going to Call?" for those interested and haven't read them yet.
Now the following scenes are just little more than glorified copies of from the Ghostbusters movies and the recently released videogame. The original snippets are still tucked away in the Secret of Slime thread as AJT and I have going back and forth with the snippets and turning an idea into a rather entertaining fic. We are passed the Prologue and well into what we are calling the "Suna Arc" where Naruto and the gang are sent to Suna on a mission to deal with the Ichibi Jinchuuriki, Gaara.
Anyways... Here are two short snippets (one of which has an alternate ending) of what I like to refer to as The Konoha Ghostbusters.
The following is a possibility if the Konoha Ghostbusters ever have to face Gozer the Gozarian- or for the those of you who haven't watched Ghostbusters in some time or played the game, the main antagonist for the first movie.
"Choose."
"Choose? What do you mean, 'Choose'?" asked Naruto to the disembodied, ethereal voice of Gozer the Gozarian.
"Choose the form of the destructor."
The 'Self-Proclaimed' Chairman of Ghostbusters Inc. turned to his three 'subordinates'. "All right, nobody choose anything! Clear your minds, keep them totally blank."
He ignored Sasuke's muttered comment, "Not too hard for you, is it, dobe?"
"If we choose the Yondaime Hokage, the Yondaime Hokage will come down and destroy us all. So nobody choose anything!"
"The choice is made, the traveler has come!"
Sasuke and Sakura both shot accusatory looks at Naruto, who immediately waved his hands. "Whoa, whoa, whoa!"
He then turned angrily to the sky where Gozer's voice seemed to come from. "Listen, nobody chose anything! Did you choose anything?" When he asked this, he turned to Sasuke.
"No."
"Did you?" he asked as he pointed at Sakura.
She looked aggravated that he would even suggest such a thing. "Of course not!" she snapped. "My mind was totally blank!"
"Well I didn't choose anything!" shouted Naruto. With that, everything went silent as the three of them looked to the fourth member of their entourage who let out an embarrassed 'Eep!'
"I-I... Sorry... I-it just popped in there..." apologized Hinata weakly.
Naruto wanted to be annoyed with her, really he did, but he found that she was just too cute and innocent to stay mad at. If anything he was annoyed at himself for being unable to be annoyed with the Hyuuga Heiress.
Especially with the 'I told you so' look Sakura was bound to be giving him.
There was a reason she was their secretary and not on the active Ghostbuster Roster, Sakura had said earlier, but at Hinata's plea Naruto had pushed for her inclusion. Since they only had four Proton Packs at the current moment it was Tenten that got left behind this time.
"Hinata-chan, What... What 'Just popped in there'?" asked Naruto steadily, while giving Sakura a 'we'll argue later' glare.
"I tried to think of something, anything, that could not possibly harm us... Something pure, that embodied the best of everything a shinobi was..."
A loud crunching noise was heard in the distance.
Sakura's eyes widened.
"LOOK!" she shouted, pointing at the approaching massive creature that they could just barely glance at between the tall buildings of Konoha.
"It... It CAN'T be... It just can't be..." said a mystified Hinata.
"What did you do, Hinata-chan?" asked Naruto as they moved around on the roof to get a better look. Suddenly, the demigod's form was made visible to them all.
"It's... A plushie Naruto..." answered Hinata.
Sasuke looked to Hinata who seemed to be at war with herself going through a myriad of emotions all at once. He turned to the one person who always had a plan for any given situation like this.
"Sakura, it appears that Hinata has gone 'bye-bye', any ideas?"
"Sorry, Sasuke-kun, but I'm currently terrified beyond all rational thought..."
He sighed as he had no choice but to turn to the dobe. He was never going to live this one down. "Dobe?"
"Sorry, teme, but I'm still confused about whether I should be scared or flattered," answered Naruto honestly.
It could have happened like this... Of course sticking more closely to the canon personality, it could have also went down like this...
"It... It CAN'T be... It just can't be..." said a mystified Hinata.
"What did you do, Hinata-chan?" asked Naruto as they moved around on the roof to get a better look. Suddenly, the demigod's form was made visible to them all. "A plushie Yondaime dressed like me?"
Naruto looked so confused. This was something he'd have expected from himself- not Hinata. Did she idolize the Yondaime too?
Meanwhile, Hinata's shoulder's slumped in defeat, Sakura slapped her head, muttering about stupid oblivious bakas, and Sasuke turned away from Naruto shaking his head.
"Baka! Can't you see that's you! The Yondaime doesn't have whisker markings on his face!" hissed Sakura as she thumped Naruto on the head.
Naruto looked at her suspiciously. "Are you sure, it looks a lot like him..."
"Yes, we're sure dobe," replied Sasuke in a tired tone.
"Though he does have a point, it DOES look an awful lot like the Yondaime Hokage," noted Sakura. Sakura and Sasuke looked at Naruto through narrowed eyes with Naruto looking back and forth at each of them.
In unison, Sakura and Sasuke both shook their heads and said "Nah!"
"What?"
Spoiler Alert: Do NOT read this scene unless you have beaten Ghostbusters: The Videogame.
The five Ghostbusters, four veteran Ghostbusters and the Rookie GB Kiba, were zapping away at the ethereal form of Orochimaru who had been steadily gaining power over the last few years and had become exponentially powerful after he had destroyed the ghostly form of Gozer the Gozarian once and for all.
"Everybody, cross the streams!" shouted Sakura as they continued to blast the ghost, her glasses slipping down on her face.
"I AM A GOD!" shouted Orochimaru triumphantly as even with the streams crossed he seemed to shrug off their attempts at defeating him.
Much to the astonishment of everyone, it was Hinata- not Naruto or Sasuke or even Sakura- that replied back with a fierce shout of, "WE EAT GODS FOR BREAKFAST!"
Hinata then turned up the intensity of her proton accelerator and the others proceeded to do the same. Orochimaru screamed out in pain as he was vaporized and the Gozer Realm, which had become his own when he destroyed Gozer, seemed to collapse on itself.
The five Ghostbusters were then knocked out of the Gozer dimension and back onto the Great Hall of the Spring Country Palace were they had been before their confrontation with the ethereal Orochimaru.
As they lay next to each other, Naruto looked to Hinata. "We eat gods for breakfast?"
Hinata squeaked and bowed her head, turning bright red and poking her fingers together nervously. "It-It was a bit much, w-wasn't it..."
Naruto simply responded with a grin, causing her to turn even redder. "No, I liked it."
"Th-thank you, Naruto-kun."
--Meanwhile--
"Hey," greeted Sasuke as Koyuki rushed towards him.
"Sasuke," Koyuki practically purred.
Just as the two were about to kiss, Sasuke heard the familiar approach of his least favorite associate. Seeing the emerald spectral entity coming stright for him, he did the one thing he could to.
Just as Slimer was about to "Slime" him once more, Sasuke used a well practiced, seal-less Kawarimi no Jutsu with the only object he could think of at the moment.
Kazehana Koyuki-hime.
Now drenched in disgusting green goo, she glared fiercely at the Uchiha scion.
"UCHIHA!" shouted Koyuki as she began to chase Sasuke.
Kiba shook his head trying to keep back the laughter as Sakura watched everything with a self satisfied smirk.
"That'll teach her for trying to take my man, SHANNARO!" Inner Sakura shouted with glee as Sakura pushed up her glasses.
So... Good, Bad or Ugly?
