The LoudBusters 8
Ok my loyal readers here's crossover of a different type... This time I've added Ghostbusters to my Loud House story hybrids. But this is based off the Ghostbusters/Ghostbusters 2/Ghostbusters: The Videogame (Realistic version)/Ghostbusters: Afterlife timeline. What if during the stream crossing that defeated Gozer in the first film damaged the dimensional fabric between the Ghostbusters dimension and the Loud House? Sending ghosts in their world. Now Lisa will be the one alongside Liam & Lucy in creating the tech to capture and contain the spooks. Frankly if Elisha Gray and Alexander Bell can both independently create the telephone then Lisa Loud can develop the proton pack equipment. Rated K+ for mild innuendo, a dark tone/plot, scary monsters, or frightening monster descriptions.
- chapter 8 - Loudest Resident Ghost
After departing the spa, the group was picking up a faint signal a few miles up the road. The spa ghost was even given a name; Sluj. By Stella. In fact, the rogue spook that escaped hadn't gotten that far ahead of them. If they were to be sure the spa wasn't re-haunted, they needed to catch it. And fast. "Guys we really need to catch that thing. No ghost is giving us the slip." Zach said patting his proton gun.
As Ecto-RW drove along suddenly the radio came on, it was news from Liam. "Hey Fellers just got another call. Flip's Food and Fuel is havin' issues... Something about nacho cheese attacking the costumers."
"Looks like we'll have to take care of that ghost later. Right now, we gotta save the home of the Flippees. GO!" Rusty said giving Stella the order.
"Hey, no co-pilot driving Rustman." Stella whispered to him stepping hard on the gas.
And then Ecto-RW sped off towards Flip's Food and Fuel, the Ghostbusters wondered what kinds of ghostly trouble were plaguing its grounds.
-Flip's Food and Fuel
By the time the Ghostbusters arrived the place was in utter chaos, the gas pumps were broken, Flip's truck was on fire, heck the Food and Fuel's windows were billowing huge swaths of thick smoke. And the cause of it was the overflowing the nacho cheese dispenser generating hundreds of orange glops of animated nacho cheese the size of a small dog. Their gurgling growls and bad attitude even cornered old Flip stuck on a light pole. "What are you slimeballs lookin' at!? Flip here ain't a circus clown! Go on! Git! Get out of here!" The cheapskate owner yelled at the greasy globs.
Whipping out his proton gun Zach readied his aim. "Get moving guys! The cheese is animating!" Zach blurted out.
Seeing the hordes of evil greasy cheese monsters was almost a sickening sight to Lincoln. "Holy shamoley! Flip's nacho cheese dispenser is somehow hatching these... mini Nacho Cheesers. Well, there's paranormal physiology for ya. Always finding some way to gross you out."
Despite their enormous strength in numbers Stella scanned them she found them really weak. "Hmm... Only Class 2. Hmph! Pathetic."
"Blrgh!" One of them nasty globs growled only it and a few more being shot by Stella and splattered all over the pavement.
And so, the Ghostbusters went about their job, blasting the Nacho Cheesers at every turn. But they were still being made by the truckload from the possessed cheese dispenser. "These cheeseballs are everywhere! The more we take out the more of 'em get churned out!" Lincoln complained blasting more of them.
"More minis! How many can that dispenser generate?" Clyde griped helping his pal blasting a dozen sneaking up behind Lincoln.
As obnoxious as the little monsters were Lincoln frankly couldn't deny one weird fact about them. ''Annoying little nasties! ...and yet they look so dang tasty." As he said that a few more of them slithered up behind him.
"Blast 'em." Stella growled without even turning around, blasting those sneaking up on him.
The swarm of cheese monsters were already mad at being disturbed from their greasy business, apparently that sort of underhanded tactics suddenly got them angrier. "Ooh! That got 'em mad. Hey Clyde see if they want... some wine... get it? I'm funny too y'know Luan." Lincoln said aloud (despite Luan out with Benny).
Still the little creatures now had the team surrounded, if they didn't think up a plan soon, they'd get devoured by thousands of nacho cheese monsters. "Spokes! You gotta distract them for us!" Stella panicked, seeing Rusty somehow had slipped away.
"What the...?! Spokes is grabbing Flippees!? Spokes is buying Flippees... " Stella yelled in disbelief.
Indeed, inside the store Rusty was buying several cherry Flippees, while they were in the middle of a battle against evil cheese globs! The nerve! "Dude! C'mon!" Zach complained about Rusty's slacking.
"AGHHH! GET AWAY FROM ME!" A girl's scream suddenly caught their attention.
''Polly Pain? Haven't seen her in years... What's she doing here?" A confused Lincoln blinking thinking he was seeing things.
Running as fast as she could the roller derby friend of Lynn had a whole horde of the little nasties hot on her heels, and ended up cornering her at a flagpole, reluctantly she shimmied up that thing as fast as her legs could carry her. Sure, she was tough and all in derby matches getting slammed into walls, into players, and onto the floor. But fighting ghostly nacho cheese? That was not on her to-do lists. The only girl on the team was at her wits end dealing with Rusty' antics. "We're gonna need backup here. Spokes, come on! Get over here please! It's pandemonium... you're needed right now at the site."
Naturally though Rusty Spokes responded, in his usual smart alec style, now surrounded inside as well. "Well, I'm happy to be in demand around here but these cheeseballs got me nailed down. Can't sneak past 'em. Tell you how I see it, they're disgusting! They're greasy! And unhealthy!"
"Oh uh, did I forget to mention the spectacular Polly Pain here is in distress?" Lincoln said blasting several cheese critters near the flagpole.
"Be right there!" He quipped.
Seeing it was his knight in shining proton pack time, Rusty blasted the nasty cheese globs surrounding him, and went to kicking out a window rejoining with his fellow Busters. ''Finally! Spokes! Everyone soak 'em!'' Stella growled as she and the others blasted them all.
''Oh, I knew we were forgetting something... THERE!" Zach yelled blasting the nacho cheese dispenser to kingdom come.
Finally at long last the Ghostbusters had defeated the Nacho Cheesers, it took a bit of doing but they won. Old Flip's Food and Fuel was perhaps a little disturbed. Ok maybe a lot. Let's face it the place was in ruins; it'd be months before Flip was back in business. The gas pumps were broken, merchandise eaten by the cheese globs, smoke & fire damage, windows getting replaced, the whole place was wrecked. Yeah, it'd be a while.
Seeing the coast was finally clear Polly slid down the pole, she made a mental note to try that pole again. With Polly now safe Rusty did his best at reassuring the normally rough 'n tumble tomboy now terrified she was safe, a feat the ladies' man had never dealt with. "It's okay Polly. The Rustman has you. You're fine now."
Giving the redheaded ladies' man a narrow death glare Stella asked him the "important" question, that meaning were the Flippees safe? "Well now, you didn't spill all our Flippees, did you Mr. Spokes?"
"What...? What was that about? What were those things? I've seen crazy stuff before but those "things" are unreal. What're they?" The brunette tomboy asked finally processing what just happened.
The redheaded ladies' man was almost appalled by the accusations Stella threw at him, in fact he made sure to get refreshments for everyone there, not just him. "Excuse me? Really? Because I got Flippees for all of us Stella but the creepy little jerks almost spilled 'em, and what the heck is the story with 'em anyways?!"
Looking over the cheese residue Zach and looked into the smoldering dispenser remains. "Oh them? Somehow Flip's nacho cheese dispenser got possessed."
The idea of nacho cheese getting possessed and turning evil was just too crazy to believe but Polly personally saw it and was chased by said cheese. So, who was she to judge? Still Rusty Spokes did save her life after all, it was only fair he gets a reward for his heroic efforts. "Oh, and more thing Rusty... " Polly said gazing into his eyes then giving him a deep kiss. After breaking the kiss, she had a few last words for him. "There's plenty more where that came from at my derby match. Don't be late." She said with a playfully wink.
The redheaded Ghostbuster was swooning, with hearts in his eyes. In fact, Rusty nearly doing a split and falling flat on his butt in love. Helping their pal out Clyde stands him back up. "Ugh... What a woman. Ain't she great?"
Seeing the saccharine display of sappy romance from Rusty had the other redhead thinking only one thing. "Too easy." Zach thought.
As Flip sat on a spare tire Lincoln figured it was time for the real talk to start. "Alright Flip now that the spooks are busted, we're gonna talk business."
"Ah no can-do kiddos Flip doesn't do big cash payouts." Flip said pulling his pockets inside out, in short, he was broke.
That and his cash register was blown up, but his ungrateful attitude to the youths who saved his sorry skin irked Clyde the worst way. "Really Flip?" Clyde muttered glaring at him. "We save yer life, and you can't even pay us?''
Old Flip always was a swindling, cheap, corner-cutting tightwad but this really took the proverbial cake. "Eh don't get snippy or maybe old Flip will slap a loitering fee on ya."
"Hmm? That right? Well, we can let the ghosts go now. It's only fair. What do you think Loud?" Stella asked him.
"Yeah, that's fine Zhau." He agreed.
That did it, Flip fell to his knees begging them not to. "NO! Please kiddos! Anything but that! The little monsters won't leave a scrap left of Food & Fuel for ol' Flip."
"Well call our office. We'll work out your payment later." Zach said handing him their business card.
''Huh? Getting a PKE signal over by the bushes." Clyde said suddenly noticing the readings.
Suddenly the lost spook showed itself phasing out of the bushes. "Yahhh!" The ghost panicked zooming off.
"It's him! I mean the ghost that escaped the spa! Get 'im!" Zach yelled as he started chasing it, blasting off proton beams.
Each shot missed but joined by the others they managed to corral the ectoplasmic fiend into a corner by a few trees. "There it is by those trees!" Rusty order charging at it.
The weird part of it all? The ghost instead of fleeing simply held its arms up, in surrender. "Eyahhh! Noooohhh!" The pink spook hollered cowering with all the proton guns trained at it.
They had this spook literally dead to rights, but it wasn't even trying to escape. Why Stella wondered? The other ghost captured at the spa was a pretty tough customer but this thing, was a wuss! A wimp! A coward! It led Stella to a startling conclusion; she gestured the others to lower their weapons. ''Boys... I don't think this thing... is all that dangerous." Stella said convinced. "Maybe we should take it back for Lisa to study?"
"Great idea Stella." Clyde said agreeing with her decision.
Convincing the little ghoul to follow them wasn't hard, since Clyde lured it into Ecto-RW with some snickerdoodles he'd made earlier. And thus, they revved up and rolled out, headed for home.
-Ghostbusters HQ
Eventually though the fact the spook was still wandering around the HQ puzzled everyone there. Though Lincoln's sisters Lucy and Lisa were delighted to have an actual ghost around to study up close and personal. But that's when things started to get strange, as every time someone would start going their usual duties the spook was close by them. While on the phone with Polly Rusty couldn't get any privacy from it, so he shooed it away. As for Stella? She was too busy getting things sorted out for Flip's payment, so she ignored it.
The little ghoul then watched Zach reading one of his alien conspiracy magazines only the spook kept looking over his shoulder, which annoyed him. "Seriously dude? Could ya not look over my shoulder please?"
The ghost fazed through the floor, then fazed right in the middle of his magazine, again to Mr. Gurdle's annoyance. "Really? Stop creeping me out. Go pester our fearless leader. Or something."
So, it did just that, searching for Lincoln & Clyde, as in what they were up to. The pair of best friends were going about putting the spa ghost "Sluj" in the Containment Unit where it won't be sliming any pageant girls anytime soon. After a few button presses, the square shaped slot slid out as Lincoln slotted the trap into it. Then trap's contents were transferred to the separate ghoulish dimension inside said Containment Unit. "There we go Clyde. Our first successful bust. I tell you one thing I can't believe this all actually worked. Ah I love the smell of a plan that works."
Indeed, even Clyde had doubts, anybody would in trying to combat the supernatural, but said doubts weren't something he'd advertise to Lincoln. The whole Ghostbusters operation was a team effort. The other half of Clincoln Mcloud was also in good spirits but he had concerns with the equipment as he extracted the emptied trap. ''And our trap is clean. I'll have Stella and Liam take a look at the magnetic buffer plates later. They need some tuning. Think we should ask your dad for some of his famous Lynn-Sagna? Maybe celebrate?"
By that point the apparition showed itself, puzzling the two close friends. It slowly tagged along behind them, and finally worked Lincoln's one good nerve he'd left. "Uh can we help you? Look spook we're busy here emptying this trap into the Containment Unit. Keep pestering us you'll be joining your pal in there." He said giving it its only warning.
"Oh nooo!" It panicked waving its arms, terrified of the idea.
It watched the two head back upstairs and decided maybe something of interest could be found up there as well. Only one way to find out, go up there and see. It fazed through the flooring and found itself by Haiku's desk. Reading the newest novels J.N. Kline Gore Series at her desk was Haiku. The stray apparition eventually settled on pestering her next. ''Can I help you with something?" Haiku deadpanned to it.
"Uhhh... Uh-uh." It babbled quickly losing interest in her and activities.
"The things I get myself into." She thought to herself.
By now the ghost's meddling antics were starting to wear thin, just what the deal with this thing? Why wouldn't it just... Go away? Leave? Y'know skedaddle? That was the thought going through Liam's head, he was tightening up the trap's magnetic buffer plates. Every time he tried to work the spook got in in his way. He sighed in frustration; this ghost was getting annoying. "I don't get it fellers why's this spook keep followin' us around?" Liam complained.
"Yeah, well why didn't it just stay at the spa?'' Zach said having the same sentiment. "It's what I'd do."
Even the great genius of Lisa Loud wasn't able to contemplate a conclusion to the strange notion, but Darcy the individual whom you'd least expect to explain this mess had an idea. Despite not being a ghost expert herself, Lisa's friend Darcy noticed the spook kept trying to plop itself down wherever the Ghostbusters were busy doing equipment checks or frankly anything else. It was acting like a lost puppy, then Darcy realized something. "Maybe it was lonely. Everyone at the spa ran away from it, I bet you're the first people to ever pay it any attention." Darcy pointed out.
The sheer lunacy of her conclusion had Lisa frown at her friend, despite being BBF's the two simply didn't see the world the same. Lisa was an introverted genius while Darcy was your typical bubbly kid full of energy. "Darcy, I find even that explanation preposterous." Lisa said dismissing it.
The brainy brunette's friend simply stuck out her tongue, getting cheeky with Lisa. "But really I don't think it's that dangerous. Kinda slimy though." She said touching its ectoplasmic body, coating her hands in ooze. "Ugh..."
Pinching the bridge of his nose Lincoln knew somehow someway this would backfire on him, but after a long process he made his shocking decision. "Well... We should keep it around here. Y'know for science."
That decision had everyone doing mental backflips, especially Lisa. Frankly she thought her brother had lost his mind over this ghost business. "Elder brother have you lost your proverbial mind?!" Lisa complained.
But it was Zach who backed him up on his idea. "Kiddo you said you wanted an available specimen to do experiments with. Well, there it is go to town."
Grumbling a few unmentionables Lisa grudgingly realized he was right; she did request an active specimen for extended periods of study and simply walked off to her sub-lab of the bunker. Thus, with the spook's stay verified the group went back to whatever it was they were doing before.
Doing some tune-up work on Ecto-RW's fueling system were Zach & Liam, with Zach asking Liam for each tool he needed. "Ok Liam crescent wrench, ratchet, and screwdriver."
"Hi." The spook said suddenly phasing up through the flooring.
The country boy simply waved at it politely as always watching the ghost float over to Zach's assorted tools. "Hey Liam? Uh I kinda need a screwdriver here." The ghost had no clue what a screwdriver was or what it even looked like, so it simply handed him a hexagonal nut. "Uh really Liam? A nut? Are you trying to be subtle with me about something?"
He pulled himself out from under the car getting their ghostly guest waving at him. "Hi Zach."
"Oh... Hey there shorty. Y'know I bet with some decent training from Lana you'd be a first-rate mechanic. I bet I could even teach you how to fetch." He thought as all kinds of goofy ideas danced in his head. "In fact, let's try it out. Fetch!" He said throwing a sharpie pen.
Frankly Liam saw the whole thing as kind of funny, like one of those funny home videos shows his Paw used to watch. "Like Stella said you can't pay for entertainment like this." He thought.
Unfortunately, the pen landed near Rusty's desk, which set off his temper, he didn't like the idea of keeping the thing around the HQ and now he thought it was gonna slime him next. In a bad mood he popped up from said desk furious. "Why you little! Liam! Zach! I knew it was a bad idea to keep that thing around the bunker."
Quickly the spook hid under Ecto-RW figuring Zach & Liam would keep him safely away from Rusty' temper. "Who? Thing? Where's what? I'm busy with Zach here." Liam lied hiding the ghost under the car.
"Y'know exactly what I'm talking about. You too Liam. The glob. The uh spook. The bag of snot. Whatever it is. Besides those garlic breadstick knots Lincoln's dad made are gone. I bet that thing ate 'em. It's a bottomless pit. That thing's a pest." Rusty complained to the alien fanboy walking himself downstairs in a huff.
Even Liam had to admit just calling the thing spook, ghost, spud, or glob wasn't gonna cut it. The ghost needed a name. Something Zach was already planning on doing. "Eh, Rusty's right though. You need a name or something. And just to annoy Rusty how 'bout Munchie?" Zach told the entity.
"Munchie? Yeah. Yeah!" Munchie cheerfully said liking its new name.
''And I'll give Linc the news then." Liam said marching off to tell him.
-Loud Residence
Basically, Lincoln was told the news from Liam then in turn informed his parents about Munchie and why ghost was hanging around their HQ. Naturally they both very confused about it. "Huh?!" Was all his mom could utter.
"Um sport... could you uh explain this one more time?" His baffled dad asked.
Still Lincoln tried to explain the strange situation the best to his ability. "Um mom. Dad... Lynn Meet Munchie. Yeah, I know it's a silly name. Zach came up with it. And yes, I know it's weird for a bunch of ghost exterminators to keep a ghost around their home base. Apparently, Darcy thinks it's lonely and followed us here. Then stuck around."
"Hi dere." It greeted Loud Sr. ever so friendly.
While his parents were a little pleased the spook had some manners Lynn Jr. was not impressed. At all. She got home after a long match of roller derby and too tired to deal with her household antics. "Whatever! I'm heading upstairs for a shower. Just keep that ooze bag away from me." Lynn griped sulking her way upstairs to the bathroom, too tired to deal with this mess at the moment.
"Psst. Munchie if yer lookin' for some goodies, try her sock drawers." Lincoln whispered to it.
"Uh-huh." Munchie said licking its slimy chops.
Fading through the ceiling Munchie turned up in said sock drawer. Naturally Lynn screamed bloody murder about it. "YEUCKKKK! LINCOLN!"
The family athlete stormed down the staircase fuming mad, the dirty stunt her brother pulled was the last straw of the night. "I. Hate. That. Ghost." Lynn stated glaring daggers at her cheeky brother. "Oh, yer so gonna get it Stinkoln!" Lynn was furious, ready to rip her brother limb from limb.
Normally Lincoln would tremble in terror at the sight of an angry Lynn Loud Jr. but not this time. He had a secret weapon. "Munchie. Lick licky." Lincoln said with a smirk.
"Oh boy!" Munchie thing cried out in joy.
And thus, Munchie gave Lynn quite a swarm of purple slimy licks inciting moans and groans from the sporty girl. "AHH! COME ON! THIS IS FIGHTIN' DIRTY! GROSS! STOP! I GIVE! STOP IT! I GIVE UP!" She hollered.
Quickly defeated Lynn was slathered head to toe in purple dollops of ectoplasm, to which she had one thing to say. "I give up. Argh..."
"Well, that oughta teach you Lynn. Oh, I forgot you were still here. I'm gonna have to cut things short today. Say goodbye Munchie." Lincoln said addressing the readers.
"If I must... By-bye." Munchie jabbered waving goodbye.
