Inside it were piles of alien technology. The Doctor gasped softly. \u201cThis was all I could salvage from my ship,\u201d explained the Controller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s\u2026perfect!\u201d whispered the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDoctor, what are you planning?\u201d asked Egon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhat good will a Class A hyperdrive,\u201d quizzed Tysar, \u201cand a subspace relay do for us?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDr. Spengler,\u201d said the Doctor, \u201cI need the plans for your proton packs and the traps.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHold on, Doc,\u201d interjected Peter, \u201cthat\u2019s proprietary secrets!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cPeter, it\u2019s the end of the world we\u2019re talking about here!\u201d protested Winston.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHe\u2019s right,\u201d said Egon as he pulled papers out of his pocket and handed them to the Doctor. She checked them over quickly, then looked around at the technology on display.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c\u2026Right,\u201d she declared. \u201cDr. Spengler, you, Tysar, Sty, and the Controller help me out in getting the parts we need for a little lash-up. Winston, Milla, you keep watch over Ben and Albedo\u2019s fight. Peter, you tell us how Godzilla\u2019s faring against Ghost Godzilla. \u2026I\u2019m going to need to do some calculations in my head. \u2026Actually, have you got paper, Controller?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe Xiliens,\u201d bragged the Controller, \u201care a paperless organization, Time Lord. We pride ourselves on-.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOh, do shut up! Now\u2019s not the time!\u201d hissed the Doctor. She then grabbed the Controller\u2019s arm, rolled up the sleeve, and wrote some numbers down on her skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHEY!\u201d protested the Controller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOnce I set up the equations,\u201d directed the Doctor, \u201cfeed these figures into the computer. They\u2019ll work out what power we can achieve and whether or not it will be enough to ensnare Ghost Godzilla.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAnd if it isn\u2019t?\u201d asked Sty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe technology here can also be used for boosting equipment,\u201d replied the Doctor. Everyone then got to work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Outside, Humungousaur rolled out of the way of Negative Ultimate Humungousaur\u2019s shots. \u201cGive it up, Tennyson!\u201d bellowed Negative Ultimate Humungousaur. \u201cYou cannot defeat me!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhere have I heard THAT before?\u201d snarked Humungousaur. He then looked at the gauntlet. \u201cAll right, Azmuth,\u201d he said, \u201chow do YOU see what Ultimate Humungousaur looks like?\u201d He then slapped on the gauntlet\u2019s Omnitrix symbol. A light then surrounded Humungousaur. His mouth became a beak, a pair of long horns grew above his eyes and a horn grew on his nose, and stegosaur-plates grew from his back as he grew to Negative Ultimate Humungousaur\u2019s size. He then grew a frill behind his head and his tail gained the same spikes one would see on a Stegosaurus. The light faded as he gained a toga. \u201cULTIMATE HUMUNGOUSAUR!\u201d he shouted. Negative Ultimate Humungousaur laughed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSo Azmuth thinks that the Vaxasaurians will evolve into an herbivorous species through millions of years of best-case scenarios?!\u201d he mocked. \u201cHow about calling that form Pathetic Humungousaur?!\u201d He opened fire and the missiles raced towards Ultimate Humungousaur\u2026then the horn on Ultimate Humungousaur\u2019s nose glowed and he raised his hands. The missiles stopped in their tracks! Negative Ultimate Humungousaur gasped and Ultimate Humungousaur smiled at the development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe Moothronians are vegetarians,\u201d said Ultimate Humungousaur, \u201cand look how war-like THEY are!\u201d He thrust his hands forward and the missiles changed direction and hit Negative Ultimate Humungousaur. The worse-case evolved Vaxasaurian stumbled and shook his head, then Ultimate Humungousaur rushed at him, the impact feeling like a freight train to Negative Ultimate Humungousaur. Ultimate Humungousaur didn\u2019t stop, his path plowed Negative Ultimate Humungousaur into several rock formations. Ultimate Humungousaur then jerked his head to the side, tossing Negative Ultimate Humungousaur aside. Negative Ultimate Humungousaur groaned and the Ultimatrix beeped for a bit until he turned back into Albedo. Albedo was unconscious for a while. Ultimate Humungousaur towered over Albedo, then he performed a victory dance. \u201cOh yeah!\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s scary being this good!\u201d The earth then shook, snapping Ultimate Humungousaur out of his celebration and reminding him of the two Godzillas fighting. \u201cOh, yeah. Giant lizard fight.\u201d He picked up Albedo and rushed to the cave as the Doctor and her friends were working on the machine. \u201cHey, Doc!\u201d he called. \u201cYou might wanna hurry! Godzilla\u2019s not looking too hot!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNearly there!\u201d replied the Doctor. She then screwed in one last panel. \u201cRight! Help me out here!\u201d Everyone that was conscious helped the Doctor move some sort of oversized version of the Ghostbusters\u2019 neutrino wands attached to a large control mechanism. Milla and Ultimate Humungousaur used their psychic powers to help set the machine up outside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cFeeding the figures in,\u201d called the Controller as she typed in what the Doctor wrote on her arm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cPowering up,\u201d reported the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c\u2026We DO need the boosters!\u201d called Egon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cFeeding in the boosters,\u201d said Tysar as she and Sty flicked switches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cPower levels achieved!\u201d reported Ray. \u201cWe gotta aim that thing now!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNot while Godzilla\u2019s still there!\u201d argued Tysar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cLet me try,\u201d said Ultimate Humungousaur. \u201cHEY! BIG GUY! GET OUT OF THE WAY!\u201d Godzilla shoved Ghost Godzilla back and looked down to see Ultimate Humungousaur gesturing for him to get out of the way. Godzilla dove out of the way as the device was aimed at Ghost Godzilla.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNOW!\u201d called the Doctor. The Ghostbusters activated the machine and a large proton stream erupted from the device\u2019s barrel, ensnaring the spectral Godzilla. The ghostly kaiju thrashed, then the device deployed another machine that opened and bathed Ghost Godzilla in light. The Ghostbusters switched off the stream and Ghost Godzilla was sucked into the new machine! The new machine closed once Ghost Godzilla was inside it and it sparked a bit\u2026then beeped. No one dared to breathe for a few seconds, then the Doctor checked the readings. She smiled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cGhost Godzilla is safely contained,\u201d she reported. \u201cUNIT and the Plumbers will transport the giant trap to the Firehouse of this time.\u201d The Ghostbusters then grinned at one another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cGiant in the box!\u201d began Peter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cReady to go!\u201d continued Ray.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe be fast,\u201d Egon went on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAnd he be slow!\u201d finished Winston. The Omnitrix then beeped and Ultimate Humungousaur shrank back into Humungousaur, then shrank back into Ben.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSo that\u2019s it?\u201d asked Ben.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThat\u2019s it, kiddo!\u201d replied Peter. \u201cWe\u2019re the best, we\u2019re the bad, we\u2019re the beautiful, we\u2019re the only\u2026Ghostbusters!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI presume this means-?\u201d asked the Controller. Sty then decked the Xilien with enough force to knock her unconscious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c\u2026I don\u2019t think that was entirely necessary,\u201d remarked the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNo, but it WAS therapeutic,\u201d replied Sty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">UNIT and the Plumbers arrived and transported the trap to the Firehouse in New York and arrested Albedo and the Xilien Controller. Meanwhile, Dr. Sato wished everyone farewell. \u201cCome visit us!\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe will, though the order might be confusing,\u201d remarked the Doctor as she bundled the Ghostbusters and Milla into the TARDIS. Her companions followed suit and the Doctor shut the doors, then pulled the take-off lever. \u201cNow,\u201d she said to the Ghostbusters and the Psychonaut, \u201cthe TARDIS has already calculated where you all came from, so we\u2019ll start with the Ghostbusters first.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAre you sure I can\u2019t get any lotto numbers?\u201d asked Peter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNO!\u201d insisted his coworkers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cJust saying, we could-.\u201d Ray, Egon, and Winston clapped their hands over his mouth. Peter protested at that, but all that came out were mumbles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDoctor, send us back, please!\u201d begged Egon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cFarewell!\u201d called the Doctor as she sent the Ghostbusters back. Once they faded, Milla sighed in relief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI think it\u2019s time I returned home, Darling,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAgreed,\u201d said the Doctor. \u201cRaz still needs your guidance.\u201d She then set the coordinates for Milla. \u201cAll right! Adios!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAdios!\u201d replied Milla as she faded. Soon, it was just the Doctor, Tysar, and Sty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c\u2026Is this your life?\u201d Sty asked the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAs of now, yes,\u201d replied the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHow have you not broken from the stress?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c\u2026I have,\u201d answered the Doctor. \u201cThat\u2019s a story for another time, though. Put simply, my fourteenth incarnation is getting some much needed therapy with Donna Noble and her family.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c\u2026Even you need mental help?\u201d asked Tysar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cStress accumulates and can break even Time Lords,\u201d replied the Doctor. \u201cFor a while, I kept running away, not daring to look back because it would kill me. \u2026But now, I\u2019m in a much better place, mentally. If the Grouping happened earlier, I would have certainly died from all the mental agony. \u2026Speaking of which, in all that chaos, we didn\u2019t check to see where Omega vanished to.\u201d The Doctor ran a few readings, then spotted something. \u201cAha! Got it! \u2026Inkadia!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAgain?\u201d asked Tysar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNot the Squid Kid place!\u201d protested Sty. \u201cThat whole thing, running from the Judoon, was embarrassing for the Empire!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019m sorry to say that we have to go there. We\u2019ve got three people from three different time-zones making a beeline there.\u201d The Doctor then set course for Inkadia, home of the Inklings and the Octarians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Controller led the Doctor and her group to a cave as Godzilla fought Ghost Godzilla.
