Our destination, Madame Megumi, was at the library, specifically, the basement. Xiomara, Hongo, and I had landed on each other. As we got off of each other, we heard voices. \u201cThis is hot, Ray,\u201d called a voice, Egon\u2019s voice, to be exact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThey\u2019re here?\u201d asked Xiomara.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTime to catch up with friends,\u201d I declared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI don\u2019t understand you, sometimes,\u201d muttered Peter\u2019s voice. \u201cWhy do you keep ghost snot?\u201d We turned to bump into the Ghostbusters, sans Winston.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBonjour,\u201d I greeted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEmmanuel! Hongo! Xiomara!\u201d cheered Ray. \u201cGood to see you! We got a call here that one of the ghosts that escaped is back here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt WOULD happen after Winston took some time off to see family,\u201d griped Peter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cListen!\u201d whispered Ray. We stayed silent. \u201cDo you smell that?\u201d Hongo tried to puzzle that out, then gave up. We went through the maze of bookshelves to see the library ghost again! She was talking to Heather. \u201cTwo ghosts!\u201d called Ray as he snapped pictures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cStop that!\u201d snapped Peter as he smacked the camera down. The library ghost heard us and put a finger to her lips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAll right, let\u2019s see you boys in action!\u201d whispered Xiomara. She then noticed something. \u201cEr, where are your packs?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Head Librarian was against having our packs here,\u201d replied Egon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSo, you went to a job unprepared?!\u201d I hissed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSo, what do we do?\u201d asked Peter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOkay, I have a plan,\u201d declared Ray. \u201cI know exactly what to do.\u201d We huddled and heard his plan. They DID have a trap but needed our help. When the plan was outlined, we got into position, ready to transform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cRider\u2026\u201d whispered Hongo. We WERE in a library.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHenshin!\u201d we all whispered. As we changed, we were shushed again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOkay! 1! 2! 3! GET THEM!\u201d shouted Ray. The Librarian went scary again as we charged at Heather and her. Seeker and I swapped i.d tags for the Ghost one<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGhost Steel!\u201d announced our belts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cKAIGAN! ORE! Let\u2019s go! Kakugo! Go, go, go, GHOST! Go! Go! Go! Go!\u201d called the Ghost Driver\u2019s voice as the wardrobes changed us. The Librarian tried to phase through me, not a chance. I managed to grapple her and spin her around, flinging her into the bookshelves. She then regained control for a moment until Heather was thrown into her by Seeker. They squabbled for a sec until Heather noticed something and fled. The Librarian, on the other hand, was caught in the trap under her and sucked in. The trap shut and we all gathered around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe first seen in the box!\u201d cheered Ray.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cReady to go!\u201d continued Egon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe be fast,\u201d Seeker went on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAND SHE BE SLOW!\u201d we all said. We then heard a scream. It was the Head Librarian. He looked at the mess we made. Peter then opened his mouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNow, there WAS a second ghost,\u201d he said. \u201cSo, until we get her, the bill will\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWHAT BILL?!\u201d roared the Head Librarian as he grabbed an axe. \u201cYOU IDIOTS TRASHED STORAGE!! I\u2019M NOT PAYING A SINGLE CENT! YOU KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYes, it means goodbye!\u201d yelped Egon. We all ran out of the library, screaming!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s on us, then!\u201d called Peter as we went out the door and into Ecto-1. Ray turned the ignition on and we sped back to the firehouse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI am positive you broke several speed limits,\u201d I panted as we got out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWould YOU like to return to a crazed Librarian?\u201d asked Seeker as she cancelled her transformation. Ichig\u014d and I followed suit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHey, guys, what\u2019s all the racket?!\u201d burbled a voice as Sludgiona came up from the basement. She clapped eyes on us. \u201cWell, well, well, if it isn\u2019t Emmanuel, Hongo, and Xiomara.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHola!\u201d called Xiomara. \u201cHow are things?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDoing all right, given the circumstances,\u201d replied Sludgiona. She then turned to her current landlords. \u201cEgon, I think I may have something.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOn my way,\u201d answered Egon as he took the trap. As they descended, Peter pulled Xiomara, Hongo, and I aside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOkay, what are you doing here?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe\u2019re trying to stop a girl from coming back to life via destructive means,\u201d replied Xiomara. \u201cThe necessary part for her is in this universe. Have you seen a quarter-circle around here?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNot in a while,\u201d answered Ray.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSorry,\u201d supplied Peter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOh well,\u201d I sighed. \u201cMaybe Egon and Sludgiona saw it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe\u2019ll see ourselves down,\u201d assured Xiomara. We headed down to see Sludgiona and Egon working on something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHow about Coordinates 29 by 13 by 7?\u201d asked Egon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cChecking,\u201d reported Sludgiona. She ran the data through and they waited for results. The screen flashed red. It read that the universal bio-print didn\u2019t confirm with the one she was looking for. \u201cDAMN IT!\u201d swore Sludgiona. \u201cThe dimensional timeline\u2026!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLooked similar,\u201d interjected Egon, \u201cbut that\u2019s most likely because it\u2019s a parallel universe. It\u2019s not one your people would inhabit. I think you would prefer to be with your people and not in a similar world.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s getting so that I may have to settle for that!\u201d burbled Sludgiona. \u201cVortech traveled the multiverse to find Foundation Prime, most likely passing the one my people currently live in, yet, even with the blueprints I stole from him before I was enslaved, we can\u2019t seem to find it!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe HAVE sent probes into other universes to collect even more possibilities,\u201d called Hongo as he announced our presence. \u201cWe\u2019re creating quite the map of the multiverse.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019m only interested in ONE point on that map, and that\u2019s where the Tarlaxians moved to,\u201d hissed Sludgiona as she recovered from her startled state. \u201cWhat brings you down here?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe need to ask you to help us find an Apocalypse Driver part,\u201d answered Xiomara.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDoesn\u2019t Death\u2019s student possess the complete Apocalypse Driver?\u201d asked Sludgiona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Four Horsemen made back-up parts in case one was damaged,\u201d I explained. \u201cNow, we have someone gathering the parts to resurrect herself.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd bringing doom onto the multiverse!\u201d gulped Sludgiona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSo, you know the implications,\u201d I observed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOf course,\u201d burbled Sludgiona. \u201cI helped build the original parts. I\u2019m willing to help in any way I can.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTr\u00e8s Bon,\u201d I replied. \u201cIn the meantime, we need to navigate your universe. Dr. Spengler, do you think your team is willing to accept a few temps in terms of using the packs?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou mean practical Ghostbusting?\u201d asked Egon. \u201cWe could use the help, since Winston is visiting family.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat\u2019s this about temps?\u201d asked Peter\u2019s voice. He came down with Ray.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEmmanuel and his team are requesting temporary jobs,\u201d answered Egon. \u201cI vote yes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWell, we need the help,\u201d replied Ray.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGood, you three are hired,\u201d called Peter. \u201cThere\u2019re spare uniforms up top. They may be a little snug. Hope you can carry the packs.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe\u2019ll manage,\u201d assured Xiomara. We headed upstairs and got ourselves changed. You know me, I HATE pants. They are, how you say, restrictive as all get out! Still, I get to wear the Ghostbusters\u2019 uniform! Any fan would LOVE to get into one of them! When we stepped out, we headed over to the spare packs. We tested them out, they were rather heavy. Still, we could manage, as Xiomara guessed. While we examined each other, Janine got a call.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHello, Ghostbusters,\u201d she began. \u201c\u2026Yes, of course, they\u2019re serious. \u2026You again?! …Him again?! \u2026Okay, just refresh my memory on the address. \u2026Uh huh. \u2026Yes, they\u2019ll be discreet this time. \u2026Okay, no problem. Goodbye.\u201d She hung up. \u201cSLIMER\u2019S HAUNTING THE SEDGEWICK HOTEL AGAIN!\u201d she shouted as she rang the alarm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAgain?\u201d protested Peter as we got into Ecto-1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMaybe he died there,\u201d I suggested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHe could have been a chef that died of a heart attack,\u201d theorized Egon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOr a patron that clogged his arteries,\u201d remarked Ray.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cCan we save the speculation until we get the spud again?\u201d asked Peter. We arrived at the hotel and were met by the manager.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWell, doing business with you again, this is great!\u201d cheered Ray.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI wish I could say the same,\u201d hissed the manager. \u201cI just hope we can take care of this quietly!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYes, sir. Don\u2019t worry, we handle this kind of thing all the time!\u201d assured Ray. Slimer then knocked the manager over as our bosses fired their packs. We got them to stop soon enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat the hell are you doing?!\u201d asked a cleaning lady.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNous sommes d\u00e9sol\u00e9s!\u201d (We\u2019re sorry) I called. \u201cWe thought you were a ghost.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou know,\u201d remarked Ray, \u201cit\u2019s just occurred to me. We REALLY haven\u2019t had a completely successful test of the temps\u2019 equipment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOh, I see!\u201d I snapped. \u201cGive the new guys the potentially volatile equipment!\u201d Slimer then shook his butt at us and went through the door. At that point, more ghosts blocked our path. We threw our streams at the ghosts and ensnared them quickly. Ray then threw the trap and I was given the honor of opening it. The ghosts were sucked in and we tried the door. It was locked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOnly one option,\u201d remarked Peter. He then used his stream to cut a hole in the door!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cPeter!\u201d protested Egon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe need to get the spud quickly!\u201d argued Peter. We went inside to find a clean ballroom. \u201cSplit up!\u201d whispered Peter. We all headed in a separate direction. Egon and I were in the kitchen. Xiomara investigated the ballroom with Peter. Hongo and Ray started their search at the bar. After a few minutes, Egon and I heard the streams being thrown. Slimer then flew through a wall and hovered over the stove.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSlimer, you KNOW the Sedgewick Hotel is off limits!\u201d called Egon. \u201cCome on, back to the Firehouse.\u201d Slimer made various spluttering noises and shook his head a lot. \u201cSlimer! Home! Now!\u201d demanded Egon. I pulled out the walkie-talkie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWho shot at Slimer first?\u201d I asked on an open channel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat would be Peter,\u201d replied Xiomara. \u201cWe lost sight of him.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEgon\u2019s arguing with him right now,\u201d I reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou know,\u201d mused Xiomara, \u201cI never realized how much of an ugly booger he was until I met him.\u201d Slimer glared in my direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI think he just heard that \u2018booger\u2019 comment,\u201d I gulped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDon\u2019t move,\u201d instructed Xiomara. \u201cHe won\u2019t hurt you!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNo, but he\u2019s gonna slime me!\u201d I yelped as Slimer charged at me. He phased through me and\u2026oh, mon DIEU! I have never felt so filthy! It\u2019s a good thing I wasn\u2019t in my dress. I was dripping in Slimer\u2019s\u2026you know what. Ugh! Egon collected a sample before helping me up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019ve never known Slimer to be this agitated,\u201d he muttered. \u201cI\u2019ll need to study his behavior once we get him back.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDoes anyone have eyes on Slimer?\u201d I called over the radio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHe\u2019s back in the ballroom, judging by the PKE meter,\u201d replied Hongo. \u201cWe can\u2019t see him.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe\u2019ll converge there,\u201d directed Egon. We did so and searched the place. Ray then looked up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThere he is! On the ceiling!\u201d he called. We saw Slimer flying around a chandelier, making a gooey mess of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd he\u2019s making a table float,\u201d observed Hongo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cPardon?\u201d I asked, looking around. Hongo was right, Slimer was making a table float.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHe\u2019s never done THAT before!\u201d yelped Peter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSomething\u2019s wrong,\u201d muttered Egon. \u201cWe need to get him down!\u201d We threw our proton streams at the chandelier, making it fall and making Slimer run while summoning another horde of ghosts. We got them trapped and went around the floating table. Slimer was inhabiting another table and hurling food at us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNOW WHAT?!\u201d I shouted, getting frustrated. I then saw Xiomara bringing a cake to him! \u201cWhat are you, a waitress?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWell, back home, yes,\u201d replied Xiomara. \u201cBesides, Slimer can\u2019t resist the sweet stuff.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGood point!\u201d I said, realizing her plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe distract him, then we trap him?\u201d guessed Hongo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat\u2019s right!\u201d confirmed Xiomara. \u201cKeep me covered!\u201d We did so as Xiomara successfully delivered the cake. Slimer stopped his assault and started eating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAll right!\u201d called Peter. \u201cTHROW IT!\u201d We did so, but Slimer escaped and started hiding in the covered serving trays. They rotated, but I kept my eye on the one Slimer hid in. I shot it and he fled to the bar, in a blender.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOkay, I know this is mean to the little guy, but\u2026\u201d I snickered. I then switched the blender on. Slimer came out of the top, throwing it away, and fled into a portrait while the slime he left behind scattered everywhere! As soon as I managed to turn it off, we got covered in slime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026Very clever,\u201d hissed Hongo, sarcasm dripping from his voice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSorry!\u201d I sighed. Another ghost horde surrounded the painting. We got rid of them and fried the painting. We then fired on Slimer, who was getting worn out as he fled to a table and possessed it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat last shot took something out of him!\u201d called Ray. \u201cBut, he\u2019s gonna move! I need some room to put the trap down!\u201d We turned the table into splinters as Slimer slowly moved up. \u201cTHROW IT!\u201d shouted Ray. We did so and successfully ensnared Slimer! \u201cAll right, start bringing him down! Start bringing him down! You got him! Don\u2019t cross the streams!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHongo, shorten your stream!\u201d directed Xiomara. \u201cI don\u2019t want my face burned off!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAll right, I\u2019m opening the trap now!\u201d called Ray. \u201cDon\u2019t look directly into the trap!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSorry, I looked at the trap, Ray!\u201d I replied. Slimer was then sucked in and the trap shut itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWell,\u201d panted Ray, \u201cthat wasn\u2019t such a bad first job for you guys, was it?\u201d We were catching our breath at the time. We then picked up the trap and headed out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe came!\u201d boasted Peter to the manager as he met us. \u201cWe saw! We kicked its ass!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWas it the same one?!\u201d asked the manager.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cUnfortunately, yes, sir,\u201d replied Ray. \u201cAnd he brought friends.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI thought there was only one!\u201d wailed the manager.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWell, there wasn\u2019t,\u201d answered Peter. \u201cNow, we took care of them and will still charge you the usual fee of $4,000, since the equipment is no longer new, but\u2026\u201d here comes the price gouging, \u201cwe had new guys working with us, so, an extra $1,000 dollars will get them started in future paychecks.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c$5,000?\u201d asked the manager. \u201cI had no idea you would still use that absurd price. I won\u2019t pay this time!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOh, that\u2019s quite all right,\u201d I replied. \u201cWe can just put him back. He seems to love it here.\u201d I made a move to open the trap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWAIT!\u201d yelped the manager. He made out a check for $5,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cPleasure doing business with you,\u201d I called as we boarded Ecto-1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWell, that was an exciting experience,\u201d chuckled Hongo. \u201cMaybe I should convince Takeru to go into the business.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOh boy,\u201d I shuddered. \u201cLet\u2019s not go there.\u201d We arrived at the firehouse and unloaded the ghosts into the containment unit. Sludgiona was down in the basement, talking with someone on her radio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAre you sure about that?\u201d she asked. Emily\u2019s voice came up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOf course!\u201d replied Emily. \u201cThe bit of stuff you left on Megumi\u2019s dress should be altered enough that it will cure you! You\u2019ll be able to go home!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI WOULD like that,\u201d sighed Sludgiona. She then saw us. \u201cAh, back already, I see. Emily told me you have a cure with you?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOh, almost forgot. Pardon,\u201d I apologized as I headed up to my locker. I took out a vial of Sludgiona\u2019s ooze and headed back down. \u201cHere,\u201d I called as I handed it to her. She opened it and emptied the contents onto herself. She looked herself over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI don\u2019t\u2026feel any different,\u201d she muttered. \u201cDo I LOOK any different?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026Not particularly,\u201d I replied. \u201cI guess the test is if you can survive the rift energies.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat can wait,\u201d declared Sludgiona. \u201cAt the moment, I\u2019m expecting a call.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOkay, I\u2019ll let you go,\u201d replied Emily. \u201cHope to see you in person!\u201d The call ended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHonestly, she\u2019s a genius in the medical field,\u201d muttered Sludgiona, \u201cbut I can\u2019t believe she nearly broke rule 1 in Jurassic World<\/em>!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou can explain why she couldn\u2019t use her belt back there?\u201d asked Xiomara.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt was the fact she had a Foundation Element on her person!\u201d answered Sludgiona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou mean, the Omnitrix?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cExactly!\u201d confirmed Sludgiona. \u201cWhile Azmuth may not know it, his greatest invention puts out energy that can overload machinery if it is used at all! Thank goodness, I installed various safety features in that regard! If the Vortex Drivers are within the user\u2019s arm length of a Foundation Element and the user uses the Element\u2019s power, the belt will shut down so the Element, a greater source of power, can be used safely.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDid you tell her that?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOf course,\u201d replied Sludgiona. \u201cI\u2019m a genius. Now, if you don\u2019t mind, I must wait for a call from Ms. Barrett.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMs. Barrett?\u201d asked Xiomara. \u201cDana Barrett?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe same,\u201d confirmed Sludgiona. \u201cShe said she saw a Terror Dog in her fridge again.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cEr\u2026again?!\u201d I gulped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou don\u2019t think it\u2019s Zuul again, do you?\u201d asked Xiomara.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cImpossible,\u201d I muttered. \u201cShe was beaten along with Gozer!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhat ARE you talking about?\u201d asked Sludgiona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cZuul the Gatekeeper is a worshipper of Gozer the Destructor,\u201d explained Xiomara. \u201cSince the host was Dana Barrett, it is believed that Zuul is a female. Vinz Clortho, the Keymaster usually accompanies her. Gozer, itself, is a force of destruction, with only one goal, to destroy the world. Last time Gozer was around, it took the form of the Stay Puft Marshmallow man. The Ghostbusters stopped its plans and saved humanity.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWait, you said that this Zuul possessed Dana, right?\u201d asked Sludgiona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI did,\u201d replied Xiomara.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026DR. VENKMAN!\u201d shouted Sludgiona. The Ghostbusters came rushing down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou didn\u2019t tell them?!\u201d I protested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cTell us what?!\u201d asked Peter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cZuul\u2019s back in Dana\u2019s fridge!\u201d answered Xiomara. \u201cAnd SOMEONE didn\u2019t research that creature enough!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDana\u2019s in trouble?!\u201d yelped Peter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI\u2019m sure we can take care of it tomorrow,\u201d remarked Ray. \u201cIt\u2019s probably stress. In the meantime, I gotta get some sleep. I\u2019m dying.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cTrue, you don\u2019t look good,\u201d observed Peter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI don\u2019t?\u201d asked Ray.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWell, you looked better,\u201d replied Peter. \u201cI guess you\u2019re right. Dana can fight Zuul off now.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cShe\u2019s developed a resistance to supernatural possession,\u201d revealed Egon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThen, in that case, Zuul may be wasting her time,\u201d I sighed in relief. At that point, we heard a voice upstairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c\u2026Cease and desist all commerce order! Seizure of premises and chattels! Ban on the use of public utilities for non-licensed waste handlers! And, my favorite, a federal entry and inspection order!\u201d declared the voice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOh no, not again!\u201d wailed Peter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cPeck?\u201d I guessed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c\u2026Do you want some, er, coffee?\u201d said Janine. Peck growled and shoved his way downstairs. We then got into a brawl with him and his men as they tried, yet again, to shut down the containment unit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cPecker,\u201d I snapped, \u201cI must question your sanity!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMy name is Peck!\u201d snarled the agent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou shut that thing down,\u201d warned Peter, \u201cand we are NOT going to be held responsible for whatever happens!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThis time, you WILL be held responsible!\u201d argued Peck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI sincerely doubt that!\u201d growled Xiomara.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cShut it off!\u201d ordered Peck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDon\u2019t touch!\u201d I shouted as I grabbed a pipe, intending to swing it at the man. \u201cI\u2019m warning you!\u201d Janine and another workman were just having coffee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI\u2019ve quit better jobs than this,\u201d sighed Janine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI must say,\u201d remarked the workman, \u201cI\u2019ve always wanted to see your operations and I will admit, I\u2019ve never seen anything like this before.\u201d He leaned on a lever, the shutdown lever! The ghosts came out again!<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNot again!\u201d wailed Peter. At that point, we heard another voice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWHERE\u2019S THAT IDIOT, PECK?!\u201d it bellowed. A woman came downstairs with Winston behind her. \u201cWALTER PECK!\u201d bellowed the woman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMrs. Samson,\u201d replied Peck, \u201cI\u2019m ready to make a full report on these clowns!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNo, you\u2019re not!\u201d roared Mrs. Samson. \u201cDidn\u2019t you see the men clearing out your office?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThey told me they were moving me to a better office,\u201d answered Peck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNo, they were packing your belongings to get you out of our offices!\u201d corrected Mrs. Samson. \u201cThe Environmental Protection Agency will no longer have you in our organization. You are to collect your belongings and empty your desk before 7:00 tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c\u2026That can\u2019t be right!\u201d hissed Peck. \u201cI want an explanation!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe EPA has noticed that you seem to harbor a vendetta with the Ghostbusters,\u201d replied Mrs. Samson. \u201cYet, they comply with current environmental standards and\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMa\u2019am, they caused an explosion when I came to shut these snowball artists down!\u201d snarled Peck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWalter Peck, I heard the reports from the men in attendance that day,\u201d hissed Mrs. Samson. \u201cYOU were the idiot that started that explosion, releasing spirits that these men have caught. Your vendetta is childish, your emotions are all over the damn place, and your repeating actions have caused us to question your mental stability. You are a poor excuse of a man and agent, Mr. Peck. You have no place in my offices or the Environmental Protection Agency.\u201d She snapped her fingers. \u201cGet this lunatic out of here. I need to turn this matter over to the experts.\u201d Walter Peck was led away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSuit up?\u201d guessed Winston.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYes, and head over to 55 Central Park West,\u201d replied Egon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSpook Central again?!\u201d yelped Peter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWell, it WAS where Zuul first started this mess,\u201d I mused. \u201cShall we?\u201d Winston got suited up and we all piled into Ecto-1. \u201cOkay, whose hand\u2019s in my eye?!\u201d I snapped. It was really crowded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cPKE arm, sorry!\u201d replied Ray as we headed out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Our destination, Madame Megumi, was at the library, specifically, the basement.
