In the upstairs lab, Robbie had some sort of device attached to Sinjin as he was trying to run tests. "So, what did you say your name was again?" Robbie asked as a blurred image of what looked like a dog's face appeared on a screen.
"Vinz Clortho, Keymaster of Gozer," Sinjin answered.
"Actually his name is Sinjin van Cleef," Cat had Sinjin's wallet. "Ooh, this is like the time my brother had two different names. One moment he could be Charlie Valentine, the next moment he could be Oprah Winfrey." Cat looked at Sinjin. "Do you want some coffee Sinjin?"
Sinjin looked at Robbie. "Do I?"
"Yes, have some," Robbie assured.
"Yes, have some," Sinjin answered to Cat. Confused, Cat just shrugged and went to the counter area where a coffee pot was plugged in.
"Vinz, the police said you were waiting for some sign. Could you tell me what sign you're waiting for?"
"Gozer the Traveler, who will come in a pre-existing form. During the rectification of the Vuldronaii, Gozer the Traveler appeared as a large and moving Torb! Then, during the Third Reconciliation of the Last of the Meketrex Supplicants, they chose a new form, that of a giant Sloar! Many Shubs and Zuuls knew what it was to be roasted in the depths of a Sloar that day, that's for sure." During the conversation, Robbie couldn't help but exchange glances at the confused, yet worried Cat.
"Sloar, huh?"
"Robbie," Cat was standing behind the worn out couch, "can I talk to you?"
"Excuse me," Robbie went over to where Cat was standing.
"Robbie, this guy seems really strange- even stranger than my brother." They both looked at Sinjin as he sniffed an empty jar that had been sitting on the shelf behind him. "Sometimes I get really strong feelings, and I have a really strong feeling that something terrible is gonna happen to you." Cat started to cry. "I'm afraid you're gonna die."
"Hey," Robbie pulled her into his arms and started to rub her back, "hey, it's okay."
"I love you Robbie."
"Uh…" this was a moment where Robbie had no idea how to react. A woman, a real woman, had professed her love for him. The sudden ringing of the phone- which startled Sinjin enough to drop the jar- made Robbie practically throw Cat out of his arms and race to the phone. "Hello?"
"Robbie, it's Beck."
"Beck, hi," Robbie was trying to keep the phone away from Sinjin.
"I've got some news from the world of Gozer."
"What news do you have, Beck?"
"I'm here with Jade West; it seems that old Goz' has been putting some moves on my would-be girlfriend."
"Jade, the girl with the Zuul monster in her fridge, how is she?"
"Jade's taking a little nap now. I whacked her up with about 300 cc's of Thorozine."
"You brought Thorozine on your date?"
"She just happened to have some in a first aid kit so I thought I'd first aid her in giving her a little nap. Oh, Jade says she's the Gatekeeper, does that make any sense to you?"
"Some," Robbie answered as Cat took a seat beside him on the couch and leaned close to hear the conversation. "Cat and I just met the Keymaster."
"You and Cat? Gee, I hope I'm not interrupting anything."
"No, no you're not. And the Keymaster is here with us now."
"I hope he's not interrupting anything either. I think you and Cat make a cute couple you know."
"Do you really think this is an appropriate time to be discussing relationships?"
"Speaking of relationships, I think we should get the Keymaster and the Gatekeeper together."
Robbie and Cat watched as Sinjin drank the entire pot of coffee. "I think that would be extremely dangerous."
"Okay, but just hold onto him."
"Will do."
"I'll see you in a little while."
"Good," Robbie hung up the phone as Sinjin presented him with the empty pot of coffee.
"Yes, have some," Sinjin requested.
"Er…thank you," Robbie reluctantly took the pot and exchanged a confused glance and a shrug with Cat.
"Yes, have some," now Sinjin picked up the lamp.
"No, no," Robbie helped him set the lamp down. "Cat, we have to find Andre." Sinjin picked up the lamp and smashed it against the floor. "And perhaps we should continue this testing in the basement."
…
Speaking of Andre, he was sitting in the passenger side of the Ecto-1 after he and Rex completed a short job. "Yo Andre," Rex broke the ice, "you believe in God?"
"Never met him," Andre wasn't really listening, he was surveying a giant blueprint of some sort.
"Yeah, well I believe…"
"This roof cap is made of a magnesium-tungsten alloy," Andre observed.
"…I believe that you ain't listenin'. Whatcha got there Andre?"
"These are the blueprints for the structural ironwork for Jade West's apartment building, and they're very, very strange." Andre set the prints down. "I'm sorry, what were you talking about?"
"I was just thinkin' 'bout things and somethin' I thought of was this one part of the Bible that I always remembered. Do you remember that thing in the Bible about the last days, when the dead would rise from the grave?"
"Revelation 7:12?" Andre started to quote it, "And I looked, as he opened the sixth seal, and behold, there was a great earthquake, and the sun became as black as sackcloth. And the moon became as blood."
"And the seas boiled and the skies fell," Rex finished.
"Judgment day," the two of them said in unison.
"Every ancient religion has its own myth about the end of the world," Andre pointed out.
"Andre," Rex began, "has it ever occurred to you maybe the reason we've been so busy lately is because the dead have been risin' from the grave?"
Andre shook in his seat as the sun began to rise. "How 'bout some music?" He turned on the radio station as Rex continued driving.
…
At the firehouse, policemen were back, in addition to other official looking men and someone who worked for some utility company. Heading them was Walter Dickers. Dickers entered in a sort of stride with the utility man and a policeman beside him as Cat was on the main floor near her desk.
"Hi," she tried to block them, "if you wanna see the Ghostbusters you have to have an appointment."
"Step aside Red or I'll have you arrested for interfering with a police-"
"I know what's going on! This kinda thing happened with my brother. You're trying to search the place without permission. Well you can't!"
Dickers held up a manila folder. "I have a search warrant here. Cease and desist all commerce order, seizure of premises and chattels, ban on use of public utilities for unauthorized waste handlers, and a federal entry and inspection order."
"I don't know what any of those words mean."
"Of course you don't; now step aside," Dickers brushed past her and headed to the basement.
"No!" Cat quickly ran over to the stairs and tried to block them from getting down. "You can't go down there until I make you an appointment with the Ghostbusters." Dickers snapped his fingers and the police officer and the utility worker each picked up Cat to get her out of the way. "Hey! LET ME GO!"
In the basement, Robbie could hear her. "Cat! Cat, what's going on?" He was ready to race up the steps until Dickers headed down them. The policeman and the utility worker followed him while still carrying Cat. "You guys let her go!" The two did as Robbie requested.
Cat ran down the steps and over to Robbie for protection. "I tried to stop them, Robbie, honest I did. These guys are mean."
"This is private property," Robbie reminded the guys.
"We have a warrant," Dickers pointed out.
"I don't care; you have no right to trespass on our facility."
Dickers ignored the Ghostbuster and pointed to the containment unit. "Shut it down," he instructed.
"Negative," Robbie was trying to dissuade them as Sinjin was about to sniff the officer, "turning off these machines would be extremely hazardous."
"I'll tell you what's hazardous: you're facing federal prosecution for at least half a dozen environmental violations," Dickers didn't notice Sinjin mimicking his movements, particularly his finger pointing. "Now either you shut off these machines or we shut them off for you."
"No!"
"Fine," Dickers beckoned for the utility guy to follow him. Cat instantly ran in front of the protection grid to the containment unit, Sinjin did the same to mimic her. "Move it Missy."
Robbie hurried in front of Cat and held his arms out to protect her, the grid, and Sinjin because Sinjin happened to be by Cat and the grid as well. "Try to understand; this is a high voltage laser containment system. Simply turning it off would be like dropping a bomb on the city."
"Don't patronize me! Unlike the people you try to con out of money, I am not stupid."
"At ease officers," Beck was coming down the basement stairs. "I'm Beck Oliver, and I believe there's been a slight misunderstanding. I'm willing to fully cooperate with you."
"Beck, they want to shut down the protection grid to the containment unit," Robbie informed.
"Okay, I will not cooperate with you on that."
"Forget it, Oliver!" Dickers protested.
"Dickers, so nice to see you again," Beck sarcastically greeted.
"You had your chance to cooperate, but you thought it'd be easier to insult me. Well, now it is my turn wise ass."
"You shut that thing down and we're not gonna be held responsible for whatever happens."
"On the contrary, you are going to be held responsible."
"Fat chance, Dickers."
"Shut it down," Dickers commanded the utility worker.
"I'm warning you, don't shut it down."
"Um…" the utility worker was going to get a say-so in something as he pointed to the containment unit, "…I've never seen anything like this."
"I don't care about your opinion," Dickers objected, "shut it off!"
Beck stopped the utility worker before the guy made it over to the protection grid. "I wouldn't do that, pal."
The cop pulled Beck back. "Step aside, Mr. Oliver."
"If he does that again you can shoot him," Dickers instructed.
"Do your job smart ass and don't tell me how to do mine."
"Thanks, Officer," Beck thanked.
"You three get out of the way," the officer commanded Robbie, Cat, and Sinjin. Sinjin scurried off while Cat clung onto Robbie. Looking at Beck and the cop, Robbie mimicked an explosion and mouthed the word 'Boom'.
The utility worker pulled a lever. Suddenly, alarms started going off. The utility started looking around in anxiety. "Uh-oh." The walls suddenly started to break apart as everything started to burst open. "Whatever it is, I didn't do it!"
"CLEAR THE BUILDING!" Beck yelled as he started running up the stairs and to the door. He was the first one out as fast as a bolt of lightning, the cop and the utility working following, Robbie was pulling Cat by her hand as they ran out, Dickers was running as fast as he could, and Sinjin just followed them in confusion. Thankfully they all made it out as the building exploded and a pink stream of psychokinetic energy emitted from the roof.
"THIS IS THE SIGN!" Sinjin kept wandering around outside.
"Does this sign mean we're out of business?" Cat asked Robbie.
The Ecto-1 pulled up and Andre and Rex ran out of the car and over to their associates, no one noticing Sinjin had left the scene. "What happened?" Andre asked.
"The storage facility blew," Robbie explained as he pointed to Dickers. "That Dickers guy over there shut off the protection grid to the containment unit."
"Well, that's just peachy!" Andre yelled in exasperation.
"Hey, where's the Keymaster," Beck pointed out.
Robbie looked around in panic. "Oh, shit!"
"Dang, this is the first time I think I've heard the nerd really swear," Rex observed.
"Yeah, me too," Andre agreed. "Hold up, who's the Keymaster?"
"Come on," Beck started running ahead as the guys followed him.
"HOLD IT!" Dickers stopped them from getting any further. He angrily pointed to Beck. "I want this man arrested! Officer, these men are in criminal violation of the Environmental Protection Act and this explosion is a direct result of it!"
"Oh yeah?" Robbie questioned back, obviously enraged.
"Yeah."
"I say the explosion's a direct result of YOUR MOTHER!" Robbie lunged for Dickers and tried to strangle him.
"Whoa!" Beck (and Andre) managed to hold an enraged Robbie back from attacking Dickers. "There's no need to involve anyone's mother in this."
Trying to break up the fight, no one noticed pink beams of light flying all over the city of Los Angeles. As the lights scattered across the city, Zuul had been awaken and was in hot pursuit of the Keymaster.
As ghosts were appearing anywhere you could imagine, Trina Vega acted as if she was in a rush. She was standing in line at a hot dog cart. "Yeah, I'm in a hurry. Can I get-" All of a sudden the same green ghost from her hotel room appeared out of the cart with all of the hot dog in its mouth. After swallowing them, the blob noticed Trina and planted a big slimy kiss on her lips before flying off in search of more food. "AW! EW!" she ran over to an empty taxi and got in. "Yeah, I need to get to the Foon-Yi's on Main Street, so can you hurry." The taxi cab driver turned around to reveal it was a zombie ghost. It locked the doors and started driving off like a maniac with a screaming Trina in the back. Coming to a sudden stop, it turned itself into a pink beam and flew off…
…to Jade and Sinjin's apartment building. As Sinjin was searching the ground for the Gatekeeper a few streets away, the wall to Jade's apartment burst and created a sudden explosion as the pink beams continued flying to her apartment.
