"Ready!" Ray said as he finished working on Winston's thrower and they could now pull Egon and the demon apart.
Winston and Peter stood on the left and right of Egon's body and they took aim and waited for Ray to give the signal as he stood behind Egon with the slime blower at the ready. "Now!" Ray said and the two proton streams fired up at Egon's possessed body and struck gold.
The streams wrapped themselves around Egon's body and the demon let out a painful roar as it struggled against the proton streams. Both Peter and Winston pulled in the opposite direction and it began to have effect as Egon's body began to change back while the demon was yanked out like a splinter. Although it wouldn't let go as only half of its demonic and devil-ish form came out of Egon's chest while it screeched in pain and misery.
"Ray! It won't come out, do somethin'!" Peter said as he tried to yank the demon out and fought against its attempts at breaking free. The proton stream made his thrower shake wildly and it took every bit of strength to keep it contained in his hands.
"Hurry up!" Winston added as he tried to keep Egon's body pulled in the opposite direction.
Ray sprayed another layer of slime up at Egon's half possessed body though this time the demon responded as it screeched and roared even louder because the slime now touched its bare skin. The demon's hold over Egon's body became weaker and weaker as more of its body came out until finally Peter had it completely captured in the proton stream. Winston launched himself toward Egon as he fell down and broke Egon's fall just barely but in time. Meanwhile the demon struggled against Peter's proton stream as it screeched at the sky above and the clouds twisted and turned as if it formed a miniature tornado.
Thunder struck down from the red sky as it struck the rooftop and multiple attacks followed as the demon used all its power to fight back. "Our big bad bat is tryin' to break free! Someone give me a hand here," Peter shouted as he tried to keep the demon contained in the stream as it tightened around the demon's body. Though the rooftop like everything else in the city had been covered in snow, and Peter slipped as the stream shut off and the demon was released.
The demon now manifested but with half of its power drained, slowly hovered above as its bat-like wings spread and it roared like a bear in pain. Its body was black and full of scales like a snake, its feet were like those of a horse and it had claws instead of hands. With burning red eyes it looked down at the men who attacked it as it saw how the Ghostbusters stood side by side with their equipment in hand and aimed up at it. Though the one it had possessed wasn't amongst them and suddenly a small black box slid through the snow and underneath the demon's feet. Someone stood behind its back and Peter got down on one knee and waved goodbye at the demonic creature with a smile on his face.
"Trap open!" Egon shouted as he stepped on the pedal and a cone of energy and light shot up into the sky and immediately Peter and Winston fired their streams and contained the demon. It tried to struggle against the streams but it was no match for two proton streams and as Egon closed the trap, both Peter and Winston shut off their streams as the demon got sucked inside. As it released one last roar, the trap doors closed themselves and the sky instantly opened as the demon's hold over the building had been broken. Egon calmly walked up to the demon-filled trap and picked it up as he blinked his eyes a few times.
"Gentlemen, you wouldn't have happened to come across my glasses during your pursuit of this demon?" Egon asked as he had trouble seeing but smiled all the same.
"Egon, I've never been so happy to hear your voice!" Peter said as he ruffled his hand through Egon's hair and smirked.
"Egon? What was the big idea going into this place unarmed and without backup?" Winston asked as he hung his thrower back on his belt. "You could've been killed!"
"My initial theory was not correct. This building functioned as a prison for the demon and it used the souls of the people it killed as a means to get stronger, it saw its chance of escape when it possessed me and I was meant as the final offering. It tried to sacrifice my soul in order for its freedom and full manifestation in our dimension. Quite fascinating really," Egon said as he handed the loaded trap to Peter.
"So someone sealed it up inside this hospital?" Ray questioned somewhat surprised.
"Perhaps, though I need to run more research before I can answer your question. But for now, we came, we saw, we kicked its...behind," Egon said with a chuckle.
"Man, it's great havin' you back!" Winston said as he padded Egon on the shoulder and all four of them headed for the door and the long way back down.
"25 floors, we meet again," Peter said as he dragged his feet behind the other three Ghostbusters. "Oh and Egon? You're doin' the dishes this month!"
"Peter, considering you were the one who taunted the demon so much for it to become angry enough that it considered taking your body as a host. I'd say the chances of it possessing your body upon release would be highly probable. I'd keep my mouth shut if I were you," Egon mocked, much to the amusement of Ray and Winston.
