~Final battle
The Ecto-1 pulled up to the apartment building lobby, The Ghostbuster got out with their suits on. Everyone in New York cheered on for them, of course Peter took his time with them and shaking their hands. He dragged Ray along with him, The Ghostbusters walk at the bulding lobby when the ground beneath them shakes "Okay, what the hell was that?" Camila ask the boys.
The Ghostbusters look up to see dark clouds swarming over the apartment building, then a flash of lightning strikes the building, then the water main broke. "We might have to put a little overtime in on this one!Earthquake!" Ray yelled out, more pieces of the building fell as the ground violently shakes creating a massive sinkhole as The Ghostbusters fell in.
The crowd gasp in worry for The Ghostbusters, then a bewildered Ray climbs out and offers a hand for Camila which she accepted. The other three began to climb out, the crowed cheered for them. "We're all right, it's all right, we can take it!" Camila yelled out with adrenaline pumping through her veins.
Peter cried out "You gotta learn to play rough! You wanna play rough?"
Ray yelled out "Yeah!"
The Ghostbusters put their hand out, then up as they walk inside the building.
~~~
The now exhausted Ghostbusters dragged their feet up the stairs to floor 22, "Twenty-two. Is this it?" Ray ask Peter, he nodded "Yeah." as the five finally got to the floor. Ray groaned and put his hand up to a nearby wall, "At least I got my leg workout in for today." Camila mutter while panting.
"Art Deco, very nice." Egon commented.
"Very." Camila agreed with him.
"Where is it?" Ray ask Peter while panting, Peter pointing at the hall "It's at the end of the hall." the five walk down the halls and see residents belongings, once they got to Dana's apartment. Once they got inside, the interior was burnt leaving the walls black with smoke in the air. The kitchen door was busted open revealing a stairs, "Hey, where do these stairs go?" Ray call out to the others.
"They go up." Peter replied as he ascended up the stairs with the others right behind him, seeing Dana and Louis as lightning strikes them. "Dana!" Peter cried out to her.
In a flash her and Louis turn into Terror-Dogs, both Ray and Peter look at one another "Okay, so she's a dog." he said nonchalantly, the dogs hop off their pedestals and ran up the temple of Gozar. The Ghostbusters walk up towards the temple, there's a large triangle with two doors. Smoke emerges and the door to reveal two figures walking towards the Terror-Dogs, Camila gasped softy as she recognized one of the figures. "Oh, god its-" Ray said in shocked at the figure.
"Charli." Egon said, as he stare at her.
That was not Charli he'd know, no, this was Clarimond possessing her. She wore a long black satin dress that had a split thigh with red small gems wore around her waist. Her once short brown hair was now long, ombre blowing in the wind. Her glasses was discarded showing off her Amber eyes, once her and Gozer stand next to Zuul and Vinz. Gozer lower her long fingernail hands to Charli, which made her shapeshift into Clarimond.
Clarimond was a large dire wolf with deer like antlers, with bat-like wings and reptile tail with tuft of fur at the end. Gozer then petted her three canine with affection, they purred in delight. "I thought Gozer was a man." Winston said.
"It's whatever it wants to be." Egon said staring at Charli or well Clarimond.
"Well, whatever it is, it's gotta get by us!" Peter said, which both Ray and Camila agreed on. "Go get her, Ray!" he said to him, Ray look at Peter confused before walk up the stairs. "Gozer the Gozerian!" Ray shouted getting both Gozer and Clarimod's attention, "Good evening! As a duly designated representative of the state, county and city of New York, I order you to cease any and all supernatural activity and return forthwith to your place of origin or to the nearest convenient parallel dimension."
"That ought to do it. Thanks very much, Ray." Peter said sarcastically.
"Are you a god?" Gozer ask Ray, Ray look at Peter who nodded his head. "No"
"Then," Gozer turns its upper torso and hands to the temple, "die!" shooting lightning at The Ghostbusters. Sending the five flying backwards barley missing falling off the edge of the cliff, "Nice going, Ray!" Camila said to him.
"Ray, when someone asks you if you're a god, you say, yes!" Winston said to him, Ray nodded. "All right. This chick is toast!" Peter said getting up, The Ghostbusters got up and march upstairs with their Particle throwers ready and switched on in unison. "Let's show this prehistoric bitch how we do things downtown."
They fire at Gozer and Clarimod, the two leap off the temple as Gozer land on the edge of the building as Clarimod landed one a pedestal snarling at The Ghostbusters. "Nimble little minx, isn't she?" Peter commented while aiming at Gozer.
"Aim for the temple!" Ray cried out, the five aim at Gozer, instead of fighting back. It vanishes while Clarimod watches from the pedestal. "Well! That wasn't so hard." Camila mutter, switching off her proton pack. "We neutralized it! You know what that means? A complete particle reversal!" Ray excitedly said.
"Hey, we have the tools, we have the talent!" Winston said with a laugh, when the boys celebrated as Egon looking at the P.K.E Meter then a large gust of wind blew the night sky, making the men stopped in their tracks. "Ray? This looks extraordinarily bad." Egon said looking at the four, then another earthquake shook the temple. "Look out!" Egon cried out, the five hid under the alter, trying not to get crushed by the falling rocks.
The disembodied voice of Gozer said to the Ghostbusters, "Subcreatures! Gozer the Gozerian, Gozer the Destructor, Volguus Zildrohar, the Traveler, has come! Choose and perish!"
"What do you mean, choose?" Camila yelled out.
"Choose. Choose the form of the Destructor!"
"Whoa! I get it, I get it. Very cute! Whatever we think of - if we think of J. Edgar Hoover, J. Edgar Hoover will appear and destroy us, okay? So empty your heads. Empty your heads. Don't think of anything. We've only got one shot at this." Peter said to the others.
"The choice is made. The Traveler has come!"
Peter cried out, "Nobody choosed anything!" he turned to Egon "Did you choose anything?"
Egon replied, "No"
Peter turns to Winston, "My mind's totally blank!"
Peter then turns to Camila, "Cam, Did you?"
She replied, "Hell no!"
"Well, I didn't choose anything!" He said, the five look at Ray who'd looked guilty. "I couldn't help it, It just popped in there!" he said trembling.
"What? What just popped in there?" Peter ask angrily.
Ray tried to explained, then Egon pointed at something, the five ran towards the edge of the building to see what it was. "It can't be!" Ray exclaimed.
"What is it?" Winston ask.
"It can't be!" Ray repeated.
"Ray, what did you do?" Camila ask firmly, like scolding a child.
A large marshmallow man, turn the corner as The Ghostbuster was in horror, "It's the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man." Ray said, staring at it in shock.
The five watch as the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man stomping on cars, as people scream in horror and taking cover.
"Well, there's something you don't see every day." Peter said, Camila hum in agreement.
"I hope your happy, Ray." Camila said angrily at him.
"I'm sorry, I tried to think of the most harmless thing. Something I loved from my childhood. Something that could never, ever possibly destroy us. Mr. Stay-Puft," he explained.
"Nice thinking, Ray." Peter said.
"We used to roast Stay-Puft marshmallows, by the fire at Camp Waconda."
"Ray has gone bye-bye, Egon. What have you got left?" Peter ask him.
"Sorry, Venkman. I'm terrified beyond the capacity for rational thought." He said.
Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man growls as it stomped on Trinity Church, "Nobody steps on a church in my town!" Peter cried out, "Roast him!" Camila said as the five turn on their Proton pack and started firing at the Marshmallow man. The succeed on lighting him on fire, he started to cimb onto the building.
The Ghostbusters start to ran for cover, "Funny, us going out like this. Killed by a hundred-foot marshmallow man." Ray jokingly said.
"We've been going about this all wrong! This Mr. Stay-Puft isn't so bad. He's a sailor, he's in New York; we get this guy laid, we won't have any trouble." Peter said.
"I have a radical idea, the door swings both ways. We could reverse the particle flow through the gate." Egon explained.
"How are we gonna do that?" Camila ask.
"We'll cross the streams."
"Excuse me, Egon, you said crossing the streams was bad. You're gonna endanger us, you're gonna endanger our client. The nice lady who paid us in advance before she became a dog." Peter said, hoping for him to change his mind
"More importantly, You're gonna kill my sister who's a freaking wolf." Camila added.
"Not necessarily. There's definitely a very slim chance we'll survive." Egon said, the five stay quiet. Processing for a moment before Camila sighed and broke the silent, "I see we have no choice, let's do it."
Peter led the group to the temple, as the five charge up their proton packs as Peter shot his stream as the other shot theirs. Then the others said their goodbyes to one another as they started to cross their streams to create a one huge stream that blasted the temple, the gate then swing shut. Creating a huge explosion.
~~~
Remains of the Temple and Stay puff cover the entire roof, Ray and Winston got up cover in marshmallow, " Winston? Are you all right?" Ray ask.
"Yeah, yeah." he replied with a laugh, Peter and Egon also recover from the incident and too was covered in marshmallow. "Where's Camila?" Ray ask, then a rumble and then Camila push off the Temple remains. The boys quickly helped her get the remains off of her, Ray helped her up. "Are you alright?" he ask her.
"Yeah, yeah, I'm fine." she said, Peter then walks to the remnants of The Terror Dogs and Clarimod statues. "Oh. Smells like barbecued dog hair." Ray commented which earned a look from Peter, "Oh, Venkman, I'm sorry... I'm sorry... I... I just forgot." Peter nodded and walk away. Camila then notice a hand stretching out of the remnant of Zuul, "Venkman, look!" Camila said to him, he turns and quickly help with the others they manage to get Dana out of the statue. WInston and Camila help out Louis with a little help from Ray.
Once they manage to help Louis, Camila look over her shoulder to see the statue of Clarimod breaking and cracking. She called out for Egon while running toward the statue who quickly help her out, once the statue fell with Charli. Egon quickly got her and brought her to the ground, he gently remove strands of her long hair away from her face. "Charli, can you hear me?" Egon said softly to her, few minutes later she inhales and flutter open her hazel eyes to meet his brown orbs.
"Hi." she said softly to him.
He chuckle and greeted her back. She smiled and slowly took off his glasses and put a hand on his cheek, he put his hand on her as the two leaned in as their lips met. Egon smiled as he kiss her lips while stroking her cheeks, as the two broke the kiss and look at one another. They hear the Ghostbusters cheering at them, "You go, little sis!" Camila yelled out.
Charli blushed and put Egon's glasses back on, he smiled and carried Charli bridle style as him and the others walk downstairs while filling in Dana, Charli, and Louis on what happen to them. Once they went outside, the crowd cheered on and chanting "Ghostbusters!"
The six enjoyed the moment, especially Peter. One by one everyone went inside Ecto-1, Egon and Charli sit next to each other. Charli fell in much needed sleep after what happen to her, Egon watches her steady breathing from time to time. He smiled and give her a gentle kiss on the crown of her head.
New York was safe and Ghost free.
End of Part 1.
