The LoudBusters 9

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 to 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. Also, Liam finally joins the group when they're captured.

-chapter 9 - Spector Inspector

After the whole fiasco of acclimating his family to Munchie Lincoln dragged his tired self to a long shower and turn in for the night. He stripped off the greasy top half of his uniform and as he took notice what his family was doing, huddled around the tv. "Boy. Didn't know busting could take so much outta you. Ain't it something?" He said as Lucy flashed him a quick thumbs up.

"This just in, from the Royal Woods Spa. I'm Patchy Drizzle as just a few hours ago the most remarkable incident happened." The attention of the entire family was caught, as all their eyes became glued to the screen. As for Lincoln? He didn't know whether to sneak off or beam with pride. For now, he'd just wing it.

The older news anchor relayed the events that happened at the spa that afternoon, as a few guests even managed to record their still steaming trap with Sluj inside it. Another bit of footage showed them showing off their name and how great they were. ''Well, they had a haunting by two ghosts." Clyde told them.

"And we took care of 'em." Zach confirmed brandishing their now contained spook.

The trap was still giving off a foul vapor trail, something the many reporters quickly noticed, covering up their noses. They figured thought would keep the stench out. Didn't work too well though. "So, who're you youths?" The reporter asked.

''Simple we're the best..." Lincoln started to say.

''We're the beautiful... " Stella continued.

"We're the only... Ghostbusters!" Clyde hooted out.

Hoping they make a decent impression Rusty handed out their card, complete with email address & phone number. "First off we're open twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week! No job's too big! No fees are too big!" Rusty boasted.

Quickly Katherine Mulligan took over from Mr. Drizzle. "But the question Katherine Mulligan wants to know is... Who are the Ghostbusters? Are ghosts real? Are they as mean as the witnesses report? In fact, tonight the entire eastern counties are buzzing with talk of incidents of paranormal activity. Alleged ghost sightings and related supernatural occurrences have been popping up all across the parts of the state."

"So, sport got anything to say?" His father asked him firmly.

"I second that one honey, explain Lincoln." His mother said joining her hubby's side.

"N-now everyone, just let me explain some things…" He stammered as he edged his way over to his father.

Instead, his mother put a reassuring hand on his nervous shoulder, letting know to relax. "Relax honey. Your father and I aren't mad. We're very proud of you. You and your friends should be proud of you all did at the spa."

"So... you aren't thinking I hammed it up too much?" He asked apprehensively.

"Maybe ya did sport. But you showed that slimebag not to mess with the Ghostbusters. The name does have a nice ring to it. Like your mother said you did a great job out there son." His father at least didn't mind him having some fun with the press.

"Linky kick ghost butt." Lily hugging her brother's leg, also proud of him.

"Yeah, Lincoln you got the spooks spooked! Get it! But seriously you did a bang-up job today." Even Luan was giving him the congrats.

The only boy of the family was tearing up, he wasn't used to this much praise as the twins started on him next. "Yeah, you'll teach any ghost to never slime me again." Was the pageant princess reply.

"Just don't make it habit of rushing headlong into danger, ok brother?" Were Lana's kind words patting his arm.

"Heheh, alright I'll be careful, I'll try not to worry you guys." Lincoln replied as he hugged his family tight in return.

-a few days later

A few days later after the media storm the team made at the spa things calmed down enough for them to develop more advanced equipment. The test subject wasn't whom you'd expect though... Liam Hunnicutt. Which didn't sit well with Rusty. "Hey! How come this country bumpkin gets all the new tech?" He complained.

Indeed, Liam was equipped with a new dual proton thrower, something he wasn't so sure about testing at the moment. Still Stella wasn't worried, with enough practice the country boy could be excellent backup, in case they needed it. "Well, Liam here is our new "Experimental Equipment Technician"." Stella explained looking her notes.

The so-called ladies' man jaw dropped at hearing that. "He gets a cool title, too?"

Facepalming Zach kinda of expected that from Rusty, but then again that was just how Rusty was. The alien conspiracist then explained the technical details on Liam's task. "No, it simply means he gets to carry around a bunch of untested, extremely dangerous hardware that if not handled correctly could blow us all somewhere into Chicago."

Rolling his eyes Rusty didn't like what he just heard. "Oh, I get it. This good ol' boy lugs around our very dangerous prototype hardware that could potentially blow us into Chicago?" He saw Liam simply shrug unsure how what to say. "Thanks a bunch. Keep the title, Liam it'll do good for you." He said patting him on the shoulder.

"This might be a little dangerous." A nervous Lincoln said aloud as he strapped up Liam's proton pack, secure on his shoulders.

Shaking his head Zach knew that was the truth. "Great. Danger is the life."

Next up was Zach fine-tuning a few of the pack's control relays, as he made sure its power output was manageable for a newcomer. He didn't want Liam getting hurt y'know. He was one of his best friends after all. "We'll start at a capacity of fifty percent, keeping any burning or tissue damage to a near zero."

That had Liam gulp, and nervously ask if anything went wrong how bad could it get. "Uh fellahs just one thing... If this whole testing stuff goes south what're mah chances? Good? Bad? Or very bad?" He asked making a few nervous glances.

Seeing his friend worried Clyde frowned, he hated to put Liam through this crazy mess. "If anything goes wrong Liam you can count on us, anyways he's tuned and ready to go."

Now fully equipped Clyde informed Liam of one last minute detail. "You may feel a little tingle Liam. Good. Liam we've finally perfected an extensive and rigorous training course to teach you all the equipment's basic functions. Then the mid-tier level and finally the advanced prototypes."

Still Liam was sweating bullets, and Lincoln knew that look, several of his siblings put on that nervous look. Especially if they weren't sure how to ask him about something. "Liam I'm gonna confess, it takes some time to achieve Master Throw Skill, but it's definitely worth the effort." His words encouraged the country boy.

Next from Stella came the explanation on the two proton guns Liam would be testing right then. "Liam this is our new advanced prototype Twinned Proton Thrower or as Clyde calls it "Proton Binary" or simply "Proton 2" if you don't want to be overly technical."

Pulling a string Stella from the ceiling made several cardboard cutout ghosts with a bullseye target painted on them to appear, this was Liam's test, target practice. Flipping on his proton pack Liam scowled at it, this was his test? Liam wrestled rattlesnakes and his pig Virginia. How hard could this be? Cracking his knuckles Liam then cracked his neck, ready to do this. ''Alright... A one. A two. And a bobbly, bobbly, boo!" He hollered firing both blasters.

A loud explosion was heard several blocks away from Ghostbusters HQ, as a few windows were blown out, now billowing smoke. Inside the training area everyone and everything was covered in dark soot & dust. Coughing a bit Stella had one thing to say about it all. "Well back to the old drawing board." She coughed again.

''Danger is the life, huh? Zach I am gonna kick you right in the... " Rusty complained glaring at Zach.

''More training?" Liam sheepishly asked.

''Yup. More Training." Lincoln said facepalming as Clyde & Stella joined him in a triple facepalm.

The fail Liam made was that strong, a double facepalm simply wasn't enough. Thus, they continued Liam's training regime.

-an hour later

After the excitement Liam's "attempt" at training died off a certain professional supernatural investigator had stopped by Lucy's desk, his curiosity was piqued. "Uh hello young lady I'm Mr. Hunter Spector head of... "

Cutting him off then Lucy knew exactly who he was, her brother was such a huge fan of ARGGH! "Oh, you must be Mr. Spector my brother's a huge fan of yours.'' Lucy said looking up from her typing. "He mentioned inviting you by later. Have a seat."

Walking by Zach offered him a few refreshments, and a few snacks. "Anything we can get you? Juice, coffee, homemade cookies?"

Rolling his eyes, a bit Mr. Specter simply relaxed in the chair the youths offered him. "Yes, I'll have some coffee please. Are you Russel Spokes?"

Taking the time to meet with him was the team resident smart alec, Rusty. "Yes. I'm Russel Spokes. Everyone calls me Rusty though."

"And your personal credentials include what?" The older asked him, eyeing him up.

"I'm a graduate of Royal Woods Elementary & Middle School, along with the rest of my friends." The redheaded teen told him.

''Hmm I see. Now you catch ghosts." Mr. Specter said scratching his bearded chin.

''Yup. You can call it that." Rusty confirmed leaning back in his chair.

''How many ghosts have you caught Russel?" Mr. Specter asked again using his full name.

Wanting to be sure he got his facts straight Rusty looked over the capture notes. "One. But we took out dozens of little nasties made of nacho cheese at Flip's. A cheese dispenser was possessed a few days ago."

"And where do you store these ghosts when you've caught them?'' He asked.

"We put 'em in a custom-built storage unit.'' Rusty told him.

''Would this storage unit be here? On these premises hmm?" Mr. Specter asked again.

"Yeah." Was the teen's reply.

"May I see this storage device?'' Mr. Specter politely asked them, genuinely curious.

The reply to that was from another goth girl helping the Ghostbusters. "No. No, you may not.'' Haiku added.

"Um err why not Mr. Spokes?'' He asked talking to the redheaded boy, again curious as to why.

Actually Mr. Spector didn't need to be a rocket scientist to guess at Rusty's last name, as Leni sewed their last names on nametags. "Because you did not use the magic word.'' Rusty said filing another folder away into a nearby filing cabinet.

Confused Mr. Specter blinked asked again. "Beg your pardon? The magic word? What is the magic word then Mr. Spokes?''

"Please. What do you think it is?'' Liam told him, still in his jumpsuit coming up from downstairs. He was carrying a stack of old traps that needed repaired. "Gotta get these traps fixed up.''

Sighing and rubbing his temples the older man felt a headache coming on, flustered he'd try using the word 'please' this time. See if it worked. ''May I 'please' see your storage unit?"

"Yes, you can. Follow me. I'm down here.'' Came Lincoln's voice from down the staircase.

"Just follow him Mr. Specter. It's what we do around here when we're bored. Just having some fun." Zach said showing him the staircase.

Fun huh? Well, that explained some things in Mr. Specter's opinion, rolling his eyes at their juvenile antics. But he'd met Lincoln Loud before and was hotly anticipating what kind of advancements in paranormal investigation the youth had made. Soon Mr. Specter followed his big fan's voice down to the lower level, but Mr. Specter wasn't fully prepared for just how big the gargantuan Containment Unit was. It was built in a room near the size of a school gymnasium. "Remarkable... All this was built by you?''

As much as Lincoln would love to take credit for the build of the Containment Unit, he'd never hear the end of it if he did it by his lonesome. "Uh kinda. The bunker itself Lisa made with all our gadgetry she built using data we scanned from the library ghost. The bigger machinery was made by the tons of robotic assembly arms my sister has built in here. But we based it all on your research and notes. See have a look.''

On cue the many robotic assembly arms emerged from the ceiling and walls which made Mr. Specter's jaw drop. The many arms went about their usual maintenance routine of the containment unit. As the older experienced ghostly investigator gazed in amazement Lincoln explained how the whole thing worked. "See. High voltage laser containment system like your notes explained. It's been built larger though. A LOT bigger."

Suffice to say Mr. Specter was very impressed by the youth's efforts, and they even had to tech to back them up. He'd nothing but kind words to say to the boy. "Hmm... Yes, absolutely remarkable. I have to say it but Lincoln Loud this is amazing. The operation you & Royal Woods GB run is incredible."

Gesturing to some goggle-like gizmos built into the unit's side an excited Lincoln had another surprise for the man. "You'll really love this. We even added Viewer Goggles, to see inside it."

Doing as the youngster said the experienced ghost hunter looked inside. "Huh? There's a whole ghostly dimension in there. Looks likes it starts with a large, abandoned sewer drain then leads to a large empty expanse.''

-meanwhile

Meanwhile across town at Lynn's Table things were as busy as they usually were, Luan was there with several of her theatre group friends, though Maggie wasn't actually a member. Still, she tagged along anyways, sure Luan was a cheesy joke spouting dork but for some reason Maggie could tolerate her. Even after all these years. Something nobody knew the answer to. Still Benny was encouraged Maggie decided to join them. "See I told you Maggie it was a good idea to come here. It's why I called it Whatever Wednesday."

As hard as she could to deny it, Luan's dad was a wizard inside the kitchen. The group ordered a large platter of appetizer samples. One of them was Lynn Loud Sr. famous mac 'n cheese bites. "Totally. These mac 'n cheese bites they serve here are wicked. Huge credit to your dad Luan."

"Personally, I love his apple-strawberry Danish." Parvana said mentioning her favorite. "Though the fresh baked pretzels are pretty good."

Even Shannon had to agree Lynn Sr. savory culinary creations were a gift to the town. "Lynn's Table is a town icon. People come from all over to try it out... My fav is the Kona caviar breakfast sandwiches."

"Like I tell you his... like coconut custard pie puff pastries with whip cream are to like die for. They're like so good." Ruby said licking her lips, almost drooled as images of said pastry danced in her head as she ate a carrot from the vegie tray.

Also, there during the lunch rush was a certain familiar British rocker girl... Tabby. One of the girls Lincoln was setup with back in the 5th grade Sadie Hawkins Dance. "Oi! Nothin' interesting ever happens around this town... My folks made a huge mistake movin' back here." She thought to herself bored.

Truth be told she'd heard the crazy stories about ghostly mayhem in the town, but frankly she hadn't seen a single spooky thing since she'd been in town the past two days. Oh well she thought, a boring town is at least a safe town. People liked safety.

In the restaurant's kitchen Lynn Sr. had gathered his staff ready to present his newest menu item covered by a purple cloth. "Alright gentlemen I present my newest culinary creation." He yanked off the cover showing off a brand-new burger item.

Said burger was a medium sized patty filled with cheddar cheese (with sriracha sauce), Romaine lettuce, two large dill pickles, two tomato slices, and crispy onion chips topped by a fresh baked sesame seed bun. A set of two black olives were stuck to it via picks, with a third having a little teal flag. His best friend Kotaro the waiter and Grant the cook was in awe of it. "It's beautiful. Too beautiful to eat. Almost." Kotaro mentioned.

"So, boss what do ya call this monster?" Grant asked.

The teenager liked the look of it but what was his boss gonna name it? Thankfully Mr. Loud didn't take long to do just that. "Gentlemen I dub this... The "Hungry Lynn-Burger"!"

Both Kotaro & Grant mad the usual string of ''oohs'' and ''awes'' upon hearing the name, something in their gut told them this item would be a big seller on the menu. However, while the staff patted themselves on the back, they didn't realize a strange stream of whitish vapors were wafting up through a crack in the kitchen floor tiling. And started pouring into the burger. The two olives blinked a few times, suddenly aware of its surroundings. These... people wanted to... eat it. Well now it had the chance for revenge. Revenge for all the burgers eaten by the customers.

With the staff busy the burger swelled in size growing six legs with two clawed toes. It grew gangly & misshapen arms ending in five clawed fingers. The crispy onions reformed into a monstrous maw of teeth. Its sudden growth crushed the table it sat on grabbing the staff's attention. In a berserker rage it flung a nearby tray of coconut custard pie puff pastries with whip cream out the serving window.

On cue Lynn Sr., Grant, and Kotaro ducked as the pastries were headed right for Ruby's face. The Indian valley-girl was munching on a radish when suddenly she turned to the kitchen and... SPLAT! Her face was splattered by dozens of puff pastries.

With her vision blocked she didn't see the burger monster stroll out from the kitchen doors. She was way more worried about her red designer blouse. "Mr. Loud like why'd you hit me in the face with coconut custard pie puff pastries with whip cream?" The Indian girl sarcastically asked him, wiping the pie off her face.

Only then she wished she didn't, as her eyes went wide as saucers staring up at the monstrous horror standing before her as she, Luan and everyone there let out a unified scream of terror. "YAGGGGHHHHH!"

"I HATE LYNN'S TABLE! NOW I PUT THE BITE ON YOU!" The monster enraged roared.

-back at the HQ

Back Ghostbusters HQ Mr. Spector was very much impressed by their accomplishments', it wasn't easy getting a vehicle, setting up a HQ, making equipment, even thinking up a name for the organization. But somehow Lincoln and friends did it, bringing a tear to the man's eye. "This is insane. You Ghostbusters might even be able to change the study of the supernatural forever.'' He stated with a touch of glee.

But then suddenly phasing up through the wall was Munchie munching away at some potato chips. While he'd heard of the small spook Spector found it odd, they group was keeping him, letting him roam around. "And this little entity? It must be Munchie. Tell me Lincoln isn't a bit off for paranormal investigator & eliminators to have a ghost living with them?" He said asking a very good question.

"Hi dere... " Munchie said in his usual vague baby talk.

Well, there you had it someone finally asked the question... "why was Munchie staying at the bunker?" Needless to say, Lincoln did have some explaining to do. "It is. But there's a reason why he's here. Very unusual reasons." The only boy of the Loud family started to explain only for the alarm to go off. "Huh? Dang it! Spector we're gonna have to cut this tour short we gotta roll! Need anything else my sisters, Haiku, and Mr. Hunnicutt can fill you in on everything else."

"We got a code red at Lynn's Table." Stella said checking the address running to Ecto-RW.

Now Lincoln was really worried, that was his dad's place, his dream job. Becoming a chef and owning his own restaurant. The whole family pitched in to make his dream a reality. Now Lincoln had to save him. "Dad... Alright let's do this!"

Quickly the team crammed inside Ecto-RW and sped off to Lynn's Table.

-Lynn's Table

Kicking open the doors the Ghostbusters were all ready to go battle it out with the spook tearing up the town's best restaurant. But then the monster showed itself roaring at them in a rage. The monster of the day was a burger. It was a burger... Something even a conspiracy theorist like Zach could hardly believe. "It's a burger monster... Seriously?!"

"Ya wanna pickle!? I'll give ya a real pickle!" Lincoln growled at the evil sandwich.

The monster simply spewed a powerful hot red vapor stream from its mouth which disintegrated the chair behind Lincoln, having just rolled away in the nick of time. The chair's ashes were smoking, like they'd been burned. Rusty knew that spicy smell. Hot sauce! It made his face inflate like a balloon. "WITH TABASCO BREATH! I'm allergic to that ya jerk!"

All the customers & staff were glued to the walls by some kind of yellowed ghostly substance. ''It's sriracha actually." His father told him. "Way I saw it LJ would love it."

The evil burger materialized several giant toothpicks in its clawed clutches it chucked them, straight at the Ghostbusters. Most of them weaved or dogged out the way but Rusty ended up getting pinned to the wall in a very Egyptian themed pose. "Y'know I've heard "Walk like an Egyptian", but I'll tell you something else, this is ridiculous!" The redhead complained.

Only Stella wasn't so lucky either getting pinned to the wall too. ''Great. I'm a wall trophy. Nice one Zhau." She muttered to herself.

With two of their number already down the remaining three Ghostbusters knew things were getting crazy, if they didn't stop this monster now, they might not ever do it. The monstrous burger suddenly hocked up something sending it flying towards the entrance, blocking their escape and quickly solidifying. The stuff was cheese now hard as rock!

''Great... It hocks up cheese loogies." Zach muttered.

The fact the monster had so many deadly forms of attack made it even harder to blast, none of them could even get a clear shot. A ghost's PKE was partially weakened by the Proton Stream, enough sufficiently for the trap to contain them. But the burger kept pummeling them right and left, with window of attack. ''Disgusting. Agh. I swear this job always finds new ways to gross you out." Clyde said hoping he wouldn't toss his cookies.

Without breaking a sweat the monster coughed up more cheese, as Lincoln dodged the first shot when he got hit by a lucky shot gluing him and Zach to a broken table. ''Let me outta here you slimy... " Lincoln started to yell only for another glob to cover his mouth, cutting his curse short.

It was all up to Clyde McBride now, just him and his trusty proton pack. The burger monster blasted him with a potent stream of sriracha breath. He was completely engulfed by its spiciness, his eyes watered, and his nose burned making him hack like crazy. With Clyde in a coughing fit the monster threw its toothpicks, pinning him to a nearby table with several more jutting just in front of him. In case he tried to make his escape. "Sorry guys... I failed."

Just like that the whole Ghostbuster's team was defeated, but something about this whole incident didn't make sense. Why was the burger so angry with the restaurant? "Uh Mr. Burger... Uh sir? Why're you doing this?" A nervous Grant asked it... hoping it wouldn't eat him for asking.

The monster thought for a moment before explaining its sinister motives. Then went to tell his reasoning. "What's all about? This isn't an ordinary riot. This is revenge! Revenge for all the burgers whose grilled bodies were eaten here. The wholescale slaughter. Indeed, a genocide few of you could even imagine."

This was about revenge huh. For eating tasty & juicy burgers? Maggie scoffed at the notion. ''They're just food. We're like, supposed to feel sorry for eating burgers?"

The other customers the burger also encased in cheese were a little thrown back by its motives. Even Luan the family's comedian found it hard to take seriously. "Yeah, you could say you've a real beef with my dad. Get it? But seriously this is crazy."

Everybody groaned hearing her weak pun, which only made the monster angrier! ''Shut up!" The angry burger roared.

Always the one to get the last word Luan just kept running her mouth, thinking she was still being funny. "Shut up? Ok, ok you really don't think I'm the type to keep blabbing. Some people never know when to stop but when I'm told to shut up, I'll shut up."

"Shut up! Shuttin' up!" It roared right in her face.

A whole ton of ghostly spit covered Luan's face, as Ruby cringed. "Like say it. Don't spray it... " The Indian girl grumbled.

-one hour later

It'd been an hour since the group left for the restaurant and not one shred of news came up during that time, something about this incident just didn't feel right. The gothic poet knew her brother and her friends were more capable than this. Even Mr. Spector was getting worried. He checked the clock making sure the time was correct, yup it was. Over an hour had passed since they left. ''It's been over an hour and they're not back yet?"

Thinking back Liam knew they'd never been out this long on a job before, he was getting a bit worried. By this point Lucy realized something must've gone wrong. ''Gasp. Something must be wrong. There's no way my brother would be gone this long without calling us first."

Deep in thought Liam's brow was troubled, he was the Ghostbuster left. Seemed like his decision to hang back around HQ was the right idea, but his training wasn't quite finished. And he didn't have a ride to Lynn's Table, his compadres took Ecto-RW.

Glancing at his still unused uniform hanging in his locker it seemed there was only one thing left to do. He grabbed it and suited up for the first time. He put his fingerless gloves on, the prototype "Proton 2" pack, fitted Ecto-Goggles to his head measurements, and finally he laced up his heavy-duty boots. "Got no ride." He said seeing the lack of transportation. "Don't suppose I could grab a lift Mr. Spector?"

''Be proud too Mr. Hunnicutt. My staff would be honored to give you a lift there." The host of ARGGH said with a thumbs up.

-Lynn's Table

The burger's hostages heard a new vehicle pull up, whose was it? Darned if anybody could figure it out. "Hey! Lincoln somebody else just pulled up. Wonder who it is?" Stella whispered to him.

He shrugged as best he could all things considered he was glued to the wall by cheese. Naturally Rusty had a one suggestion. ''Probably Katherine. Dad probably called her to cover this shindig."

But then there was a familiar sound of a proton pack switching on and shooting the doors with its stream, the hardened cheese started to bubble, smoke, give off grease, before finally being blown to pieces. A huge amount of dust and smoke filled the doorway as boot wearing feet were heard casually walking closer until the Ghostbusters realized just who it was, it was Liam! Whipping out both proton guns doing a super cool flip by the triggers then catching them, those skills wrangling farm animals must've come in handy.

"LIAM! Boy we're glad to see you!" Stella called to him.

"Get us outta here! Little help!?" Both Lincoln & Zach yelled to him.

"In the meantime, I dunno for some kicks go beat up that fast food spook." Rusty said.

The evil burger monster glared & scowled at yet another foolish human getting in his way for vengeance. His fists clenched, as Liam scowled right back at Hungry Lynn-Burger. ''I'm here. And ready to kick ghost keister startin' with you."

"Stay out of my way boy! Or you'll pay!" Lynn-Burger growled at him, giving Liam his only warning.

Instead of running away Liam instead stood his ground taking aim at the monstrous hamburger. "Hey beekcake why don't pick on somethin' yer own size."

Smirking Hungry Lynn-Burger pointed at the lone Ghostbuster. "Like you?" It said drooling dollops of mustard and ketchup on the floor.

One of Liam's eyebrows went up slightly, but he kept his cool during the intense standoff. "Yeah. Like me. Let's dance bighorn." Liam said.

The sheer gall this boy had was starting to annoy the monster burger, then again Hungry Lynn-Burger had a horrible temper anyways. Safe to say it wasn't in the best mood giving Liam another warning. "You really wanna tangle with me?!"

Even after the monster gave him two warnings Liam wasn't going anywhere, since this whole fiasco ended here, and it ended now! He took aim giving the burger one last trash talking. "Please I wrestle pigs, rattlesnakes, and just got into gators. Ya don't scare me. Now let these nice people & my pals go and we won't have no trouble."

As Liam expected instead of doing things peacefully, the monster burger simply roared out in a rage charging at him. "RAAARRGGGHH!"

Smirking Liam thought the monster would that. "I was hopin he'd do that." He thought.

The angry beef patty chucked several toothpicks at him which Liam managed to blast right out of the air with one of his twin proton guns, so instead the monster tried its usual tactic, its cheese loogies. It hacked up a huge one, Liam's friends & the captive customers winced knowing this wasn't good. The cheese when it set was harder than rock so how was Liam going to stand up to it?

Instead, Liam just shot the cheese glob vaporizing it as a few small globs splattered the floor, enraging the monster even more. ''Nice try burger boy." Liam joked.

The power the prototype proton pack "Proton 2" was displaying almost brought the team to tears. It was working so well, still just in case it didn't overheat Liam needed to finish this fight quickly. ''Good thing we built those prototypes eh Zhau?" Clyde whispered to Stella.

''I hear that McBride." Stella agreed.

The evil beef patty again charged at Liam blasting him with its potent sriracha breath. With the other proton blaster Liam used both proton streams to push the spicy blast back, right back into Hungry Lynn-Burger's face! "NOARGHHGGH! IT BURNS! HRRGH!" It screamed as its nose, toothy maw and olive eyes burned.

In a frenzy the monster stumbled around throwing barrages of toothpicks in every direction missing Liam at every turn. Dodging the toothpick barrages Liam set down a trap, already programming its instructions to roll itself right underneath him. It opened its olive eyes just enough to see his position was the worst possible.

"It's the Containment Unit for you. Say your goodbyes." Liam said activating the ghost trap.

The evil slab of beef was then sucked into the trap. "NOOOOOOOOO!" Thus, ending Hungry Lynn-Burger's short reign of terror.

Within seconds the cheese he hacked up along with the toothpicks pinning everyone up like wall trophies slowly faded away. With victory now his Liam threw his twin proton guns up and had them stylishly latch back into the pack. As soon as Rusty was back on his feet, he gave his friend a good pat on the back. Simply put Liam did a great job. "Dude you really gave that beef patty its special sauce. Sweet moves you did back there."

"Aw shucks guys I was just doing what needed be done is all... " Liam said nervously blushing.

"Oh, don't be so modest you saved everyone in here. Be proud of what you did." The advice was from Benny.

"Yeah, you served that burger's buns on a silver platter." This was from Maggie, offering him a small smile.

"Liam you are the man. Thanks for saving our sorry butts." Zach said giving Liam a handshake for a job well done.

Seeing his father's dream job nearly ruined Lincoln sadly glanced around the place. The dining area was ruined beyond belief, because of his ghost catching service. "Uh we'll try to fix the restaurant up dad. Don't you worry."

Gazing around the wrecked dining room Mr. Loud sighed, sure the place was wrecked but the building was still standing. ''Ah don't worry about it Lincoln. A restaurant with a wrecked dining room is better than no restaurant at all I guess."

But Liam's rewards didn't end there oh no, in fact they were getting even better. The British rocker & galpal of Luna, Tabby gave him a long deep kiss. ''That was real brave of you Liam savin' us all like that. How about you and I go get somethin' at Burpin' Burger? Like now?"

Suddenly Liam fell under the spell of Cupid's love arrows, as he put out his hand for her. Which she reciprocated as they walked out the door gazing lovingly at him. Still the display of the lovey-dovey couple irked Rusty the wrong way. ''That... Dog."

''Dude, you got Polly to be lovey-dovey with. Remember?" Zach glared at him pointing out the obvious.

-to be continued

You're probably all wondering why Mr. Specter addressed Rusty by his full first name and then as Mr. Spokes. The whole scene is a reference to Walter Peck's first appearance in the first film unlike Peck though Mr. Specter is doing it out of simple respect. Think about it. It takes a lot of guts to catch a spook flying around making a mess of the spa. Also, the monster is based off the hamburger monster from A Pup named Scooby-Doo. And the "Hungry Burger" monster card from Yu-Gi-Oh!

With the Ghostbusters officially in business things are gonna get crazy really quick. And yes, Munchie is basically this story's version of Slimer. Hope you find him funny.
