A/N: Operation: Chapter 1 of Latro Daemonium is a go.
Chapter 1
First Encounter
Jump City Carnival
April 3rd, 2012: 10:36 PM
The air was filled with screams and the sound of running. Everyone present were scared witless. The reason for their fear? A ghost; but not just any ghost. The ghost of Freckles the Clown. Freckles died fifty years ago when she was going home after a long day's work entertaining people. She was kidnapped, raped and then murdered. She was unconscious for the last two but she was harmed all the same. She looked the same as she had that night; her lime green and azure blue clown outfit cute with three pink pompoms. She wore white clown makeup with blue eye shadow and red lipstick; remnants of her old self in her hazel green eyes. A few minutes later the Teen Titans arrived.
"Show's over, clown!" Shouted Robin, "Titans, go." At this call the five teenagers rushed forward and attacked.
Beast-Boy transformed into a tiger and pounced at the ghost of Freckles but he just went right through her and landed on the sidewalk behind the ghost. Freckles turned to face him and screamed. As she screamed her face morphed; her nose became long and hooked, her eyes began small, black and beady and her mouth gained five extra rows of pin sharp teeth. The release of the super-sonic sound blew Beast-Boy right into a ring-toss game, where he was surrounded by big, fluffy, plush animals. Cyborg readied his arm cannon and fired, the blast went straight through the ghost's head and hit a popcorn stand; effectively making it explode into pieces. Freckles waved an arm at Cyborg and he went flying into the House of Mirrors. Starfire circled the ghost from the air and shot multiple Starbolts at her; Freckles may as well not have been there (which in a way she wasn't). Freckles turned to Starfire (who had stopped circling) and screamed; her face acting as if it were splashed with acid. The Tameranian went soaring into the ocean. Robin ran up to the ghost and tried to land a blow with his bo-staff; he had the same luck as the rest and his staff was now covered in multi coloured slime. Freckles screamed at him (this time you could see the bones of her face which were pale green, the eyeballs (YUCK!) and all of the teeth); the bird went flying and landed in the Horror House. Raven had taken her time to analyse Freckles movements (her grandfather had told her all about the clown's disappearance and how all the papers had written about the death of her) and how her teammates' attacks had no effect. The dark bird cleared her mind and chanted the spell Arashi Scath had used to banish the infamous Banshee of Feudal Japan.
"Caelestibus, exaudi orationem meam. Mitte hoc spectrum ad eius sepulcrum." Seven energies exited Raven's body and attacked the phantom clown:
The Red Energy, Rage.
The Orange Energy, Rudeness.
The Yellow Energy, Knowledge.
The Green Energy, Bravery.
The Blue Energy, Control.
The Indigo Energy, Love.
And The Violet Energy, Happiness.
Each of the Energies hit Freckles. The light was so bright that Raven did not notice the four Ghostbusters arrive.
"Girl's got style."
A few minutes ago . . .
The Ecto-1 pulled to a stop in front of a large white building. Venkman, Stantz, Spengler and Zeddemore exited the car and walked into the building. The four walked up to the secretary at the front desk. She had black hair and blue eyes. She wore glasses, a cardigan and a skirt. All in all, the secretary looked like a young librarian.
"Excuse me, miss. We're here to see Mayor Brown." Venkman said; thinking how heavy the Proton Pack on his back was. The secretary didn't look up.
"Do you have an appointment?" She asked in a voice similar to Janine's. Zeddemore and Stantz looked at each other.
"Mayor Brown called us two days ago to come and meet with him about paranormal disturbances." Spengler said as he pushed his glasses up his nose. The secretary finally looked up at them. She was quiet for a second and then pressed a button on what looked like an answering machine.
"Mr Mayor, I have four men called the Ghostbusters here to see you." After a few seconds there was a reply.
"Send them in, Lisa." The secretary (now known as Lisa) pointed at a door to her left. The four walked to the door and entered. The Mayoral office looked like the Mayor of New York's Office. Except the map was of Jump City. Sitting at the desk was a large man with charcoal hair, grey eyes, chubby cheeks and wearing a suit and tie.
"Mayor Brown; you called us?" Spengler said/inquired (you need to use at least one smart word to describe what Egon does and says). Brown stood and walked over to the map.
"Yes I did, Dr Spengler. Jump City has recently become the victim to the Undead. Normally I would go to the Teen Titans with this but since they now know what's happening-''
"Wait. What do you mean by 'now know'?" Winston cut in. Mayor Brown turned to the black man.
"They are down at the Jump City Carnival right now battling the ghost of Freckles the Clown." The Mayor said this as if it were the most common thing in the world.
"We'd better get down there then." Stantz said just before he ran from the building to the Ecto-1. The others nodded at the Mayor then followed their friend. Once everyone had buckled-up; Ray floored the gas and turned on the sirens. The Ecto-1 went speeding towards the pier where the Carnival was built.
"Who's Freckles the Clown?" Peter asked.
"Probably a dead clown with a freckle problem." Winston replied, making everyone in the Ecto-1 (minus Egon of course) laugh. 3 minutes later the Ecto-1 screeched to a halt. The four jumped out and their eyes widened at the scene in front of them. A few feet in front of them, was a girl in a dark blue and black- no, wait. They're turning white- cloak and leotard, shooting red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple and purple-ish pink rays of light at a spectral skeleton in a clown costume. The ghost was screaming in pain and the rays of light didn't seem like they were going to stop any time soon.
"Girl's got style." Winston said. Stantz went 'fan boy' mode.
"That is so cool! What kind of technology do you think she's using?" Ray was so excited her nearly- you know what? You probably don't want to know.
"Hmm. If that's technology it only just came out. I've never seen anything like that." Egon said as he studied the cu- interesting girl.
Why did I almost think she was cute? I'll have to experiment on this later. Egon was pulled from his thoughts by Peter.
"Uh, Egon? Look at this." The sight-impaired man looked at the PKE Meter Peter was holding. The needles were at full stretch, almost passed full stretch.
"A simple ghost can't make the PKE scanner go this crazy, can it?" Peter asked. Winston was still staring at the light and Ray was still in 'fan boy' mode.
"The chances are slim; at the very least 0.01% chance." Egon said and looked back at the girl.
What is it I find so interesting about her? It must be the power emanating from her hands. He thought as he stared; true, she was beautiful but Egon hadn't taken interest in beautiful women once in his life. Her hood was up so he couldn't see her face but the speed the light was being released the cape of her cloak was flying like a flag behind her, making her obviously female physique visible. Then the flow of light stopped and the girl dropped to the ground; most likely from exhaustion.
