Meanwhile, the Junior Ghostbusters were venturing around the outskirts of Keizer's kingdom. They dashed behind rocks because they didn't want the demons to do something to them since they were living, breathing humans. They soon were standing by Keizer's palace. Demons were guarding the entrance.
"Great, how are we going to get in there?" Pedro asked.
"I don't know, don't ask me little bro." Maleah said.
"Guys.." Daniel said.
"Great, we're stuck out here with no way in." William said.
"Guys.." Daniel said, getting a little agitated.
"That's not true." Julian said, "There are probably other ways in."
"GUYS!" Daniel snapped.
"What?" Raina said.
Daniel pointed to a hole in the castle. It was big enough for the kids to fit through, and it looked like the guards didn't know about it.
"Oh." Maleah said.
"C'mon guys." Violet said.
The nine teenagers then entered through the hole, but they were unsure of where to go.
"Which way do we go?" Tiana asked.
Violet suddenly got an idea. She pulled out her PKE meter and adjusted it to the biorhythms of their parents.
"I tuned the meter to pick up the biorhythms of our parents. If we follow them, we should find where Keizer has them." Violet said.
"Violet, you're a genius!" Raina exclaimed.
"I know." Violet replied.
Violet then scanned the passageways for any signal. The left tunnel was giving off the highest reading.
"This way." Violet said.
The Junior Ghostbusters then dashed down the tunnel.
Meanwhile in the throne room, Keizer was still unaware that the kids were in his palace. He was still trying to get the guys' souls to talk. After torturing Egon's soul for a while, he dragged Peter, Ray, and Winston's souls off to another area and had tortured them. Janine, Jenny, Dana, and Tiyah were all horrified at what Keizer was doing to the men they loved.
"Why are you doing this to them?" Jenny asked. "They didn't do anything."
"Not true Ms. Moran." Keizer said. "They've captured some of my servants and imprisoned them."
"So?" Janine said. "They were probably bothering innocent people."
Keizer had gone back over to try to get the guys' souls to talk.
"Tell me." Keizer said very sternly.
"No! Never!" the soul of Peter yelled. He was weak, but he was able to yell at Keizer.
"Yeah man." the soul of Winston replied.
Keizer then stormed out of the throne room.
Meanwhile, the Junior Ghostbusters were following the trail of the PKE meter. It lead them through long corridors until they came up to a room that was under the throne room.
"They're up their." Violet whispered.
"According to the map of the palace, we're right under the throne room." Ryan said.
"Good, let's go." Violet said. The kids then kept following the trail the PKE meter was detecting.
In the throne room, Keizer came back in. He had been trying to get the guys' souls to tell him, but they wouldn't tell.
"I'm gonna ask you one more time, tell me." Keizer demanded.
"No." the soul of Ray said. He and the guys were getting weaker due to being tortured.
"Please stop hurting them!" Jenny begged.
"Yeah, when we get out of these chains, you're dead." Janine said.
"Agreed." Dana said. "You made us watch you take their souls. That was a little harsh."
"I'm sorry Dana Barrett." Keizer said. "I couldn't help it. And you won't be getting out of here any time soon. Besides, no one is coming for you."
"Think again Slime Butt." a voice said.
Keizer turned his head, and a proton grenade exploded in his face.
"Nice job with the grenade Vi." the voice of a teenage girl said.
"Nice 'Venkman' Mel." another female teenage voice said.
The smoke cleared. The Junior Ghostbusters were standing in the doorway with smiles on their faces and their proton guns in their hands.
"WHAT?!" Keizer exclaimed.
"Kids?!" Janine exclaimed. "What are y'all doing?"
"Hi Mom." Daniel said. "Just stopped by to rescue all of you."
"Yeah Aunt Janine." William said. "And we certainly don't like demons who kidnap our parents."
"Yeah, why did you kidnap our parents in the first place?" Raina asked.
"I wanted the code to the containment unit." Keizer said.
So that's why Keizer had kidnapped their parents. He had wanted the code to the containment unit. He probably had demon friends in there and wanted to get them out. And he had probably taken Peter, Ray, Winston, and Egon's souls because they wouldn't tell. Or maybe Keizer wanted their souls for his collection.
"Sorry Keizer." Pedro said. "You're not getting the code to the containment unit."
"Yeah." Ryan said. "In fact that's where you're going."
"Alright let's see experienced you are." Keizer said. "GET THEM!"
Dozens of demons appeared ready to challenge the nine teenagers, but the kids weren't scared.
"Alright ladies and gentlemen." Violet said as they turned on their packs. "Let's show this guy not to mess with the Junior Ghostbusters. Heat 'em up!"
"Smoke 'em!"
"Make 'em hard."
"Ready!"
"Let's show this demon how we do things downtown." Maleah remarked.
"Aww. She got that from me." the soul of Peter said, as he watched his son, daughter, nieces, and nephews prepare to take down dozens of demons. "I hate to say it, but our kids are growing up." the soul of Winston said.
The demons then charged at the kids, and the kids charged at them. Tiana and William were using the smaller proton guns their dad used. Violet, Julian, and Daniel had a bunch of proton grenades with them. The kids were amazingly good even though they hadn't really been trained.
"Maleah, look out!" Pedro yelled as a demon snuck up behind her. Pedro quickly shot the demon to defend his sister.
"Thank you!" Maleah called.
Meanwhile, Janine, Jenny, Dana, and Tiyah were all in shock. They couldn't believe that their sons and daughters were battling demons on their own.
"I...I can't believe it." Dana said.
"Yeah, me too." Tiyah said.
"Do you know what this means Tiyah?" Jenny asked.
"It means that our kids are growing up." Janine said. She had tears in her eyes, but they were happy tears. She was proud of her sons and daughter. And her nieces and nephews. Jenny, Dana, and Tiyah had happy tears in their eyes too.
"Mom." Oscar said. "I'm only gonna say this once, but I'm proud of Maleah and Pedro."
"Me too honey." Dana replied. "Me too."
Meanwhile, in the back of the room, Keizer was watching. He was very surprised at how good the kids were. And they were obviously not afraid.
"Alright Keizer." Tiana said as she and the others walked up to him to shoot him. "Your turn."
"Shoot me, and I destroy your fathers' souls." Keizer said.
The kids looked over at their fathers' souls. They couldn't believe how weak they looked. They had obviously been tortured.
"Who's y'all's leader?" Keizer asked.
"I am." Violet said as she confidently walked up to the demon.
"Violet, no!" Janine yelled. She had already seen Keizer take her husband's soul, and she didn't want anything happening to her daughter.
"Tell me the code for the containment unit, or...watch me destroy your father's and uncles' souls." Keizer said.
"It's your choice Violet Spengler."
