The Ecto-1 drove up to the loading docks of the Natural History Museum. After parking, Ray, Winston, Rowen, Applejack, and Shinigami all got out and strapped on their packs and entered the back. When they were inside, Ray spoke in his walkie.

“Yes, we just arrived at the loading dock. Keep Peck distracted. We’re going to poke around.”

“Okay. I’ll take one for the team.” Peter spoke in the walkie.

“Blade and I are nearing the skylight. We’ll make our way to your group.” Donnie spoke next.

“Ten four, Donnie. Make sure you both keep hidden from the party guests.” Winston warned.

The group looked around before Ray spoke up. “No sign of the curator. Illyssa said he’d meet us here.”

Suddenly, he stopped the group. “Watch it! As I feared. Black Slime. Dangerous ectoplasm that is hazardous to the mind and body. Unchecked, it can eventually open a full inter-dimensional portal, an open doorway, and anything that wants to can come through. Egon and I haven’t designed clothing to protect us from it.”

“In other words, the stains don’t come off.” Winston to the black substance.

“Noted. So how do we get rid of it?” asked Applejack.

“Some positively charged slime can neutralize it.” Ray pointed. “Like the one in our upgraded packs. If a full portal has been opened, it has to be sealed using your Slime Blower. That’s the key reason we developed that tech.”

“Might as well do a little field test on the upgrades Games and Egon made.” Applejack pulled out her thrower and pushed a green switch. She then fired green slime at the black slime causing it to evaporate.

“Successful test.” Grinned Shini.

Winston saw a heavily damaged crate. “Somebody wanted out of this box in a big way.”

They made their way to a hi-tech security door. Ray tried to open it, but it was shut tight. “Door’s sealed shut. Somebody, find the power.”

Rowen looked past a pile of crates and saw a switch and pressed it.

“Good work, Eagle Eye!” Winston thumbed up as the door opened. “Look at this. Something’s trailed packing material down the hall here.”

“Packing material and slime.” Ray noticed as they entered.

“Let’s clean house!” Rowen started spraying the black slime with Shini and Applejack helping. They were all about to enter the next room when they saw something flash by.

“What the hoo hay was that?” Applejack cried.

“Was that a possessor?” Winston asked Ray.

“Maybe. Looked like a class 7 or above, too.”

“Whatever happened to class two’s and three’s every now and then? What happened to them? They were easy.” Winston recalled.

“Ah the good old days.” Ray sighed. “I’m more worried that she’ll stir things up around here. I expect we’ll see her again sooner than we want to.”

“Let her.” Applejack tilted her hat. “I welcome a challenge.”

They crept in the next room with their throwers out. After doing some creeping around, they saw a crate shake.

“There’s something you don’t see every day.” Shini blinked.

Ray aimed his thrower. “Hello? Who’s in there?”

“Somebody who wants out is who.” Winston stated.

Ray turned to Rowen. “Hey, cadet, get in here and clear this off please.”

“Be ready for anything. Possessors can be very tricky.” Winston warned.

“I’ll set my wand on low, just in case.” Rowen adjusted a nob before firing. Out came a middle-aged man in a black business suit.

“Oh! Dr. Rutherford! Uh, Z, kids, meet the assistant curator of the museum.” Ray introduced.

“Is that horrible terrible thing gone?” the man shivered.

“Yeah. She’s gone.” Winston assured.

“You alright, Dr. Rutherford?” Applejack asked.

“I, uh, yes I suppose so. I’m a big fan. I even had you over for my daughter’s birthday a couple days ago.”

“Is that so?” Ray grimaced before smiling. “Well, I think we can get you a stiker or button or mug or T-Shirt or something when we’re done here.”

“Oh! That would be wonderful. Follow me… we’ll go through the restoration department.” Rutherford led the group to the elevator. But when the doors opened, the same ghost from before was inside. “There it is again! Don’t let it get me!”

“Get behind me! She’ll have to go through me first!” Applejack stood between the ghost and Rutherford.

“APPLEJACK! WAIT!” But Ray was too late. The ghost grabbed Applejack and went into her through a bright light. The cowgirl started floating and glowing while speaking gibberish.

“Mwa ta natch calla worn ormon!!”

“Applejack! What happened?” Shini gasped.

“Possessor ghosts. It’s taken over AJ. I was trying to warn her before someone got possessed. Speaking from experience.” Ray admitted.

“Can you help her?” Rutherford asked.

“Only one way without hurting Applejack.” Winston aimed his thrower.

“Hose her down!” Ray declared as they switched to Slime Blowers and sprayed Applejack.

This was enough to free her from the ghost who they blasted with their proton streams.

“I got her!” Rowen threw a trap and trapped the ghost in it.

“Alright! You guys are really good!” Rutherford cheered.

“Voila! That’s fusion based exorcism in a nutshell. Cleaner than someone’s head spinning around and barfing pea soup.” Winston grinned.

“Is your friend okay?” Rutherford asked as Shini and Ray helped Applejack up.

“You okay, Applejack?” Shini asked.

“Huzza buzza. Huzza buzza? Bozza wazza shum.” Applejack muttered.

“Yeah. She’ll be alright.” Ray assured. “If this place is possessed by possessors, we need to get to Peter and fast!”

“And meet up with Donnie and Blade soon.” Winston added as they hurried in the elevator.

Applejack was back to her senses and grumbled. “Nobody mention this to Rainbow Dash. She’ll never let me live this down.”

“Trust me. I’ve been there.” Ray patted her shoulder before speaking to his walkie. “Venkman! We’ve found the curator. We’re on our way to the Gozer exhibit.”

“Blade and I are in the museum. We’ll meet you there as well.” Donnie spoke.

As they waited, Rutherford spoke to the group. “There’s so much to show you. Where to start? Things have been strange since they started setting up that exhibit.”

Soon, the elevator opened up to reveal Peter waiting for them with his Proton Pack on. “Well, hello there.”

“Dig it, Peter. We found a prossessor.” Winston grinned.

“Don’t tell me Ray got possessed. Again.” Peter rolled his eyes.

“Nope. Applejack.”

Applejack fumed at first to Winston’s answer before sighing. “Well, I did say not to tell Rainbow Dash.”

“I’m sensing a rivalry.” Peter teased.

“She’ll have to go through me first. That’s exactly what she said.” Winston chuckled.

“Just like a puppy. Every day’s a first day.” Peter grinned.

“Hilarious.” Applejack deadpanned.

“Don’t let it get you down, AJ. At least you weren’t possessed by a cruel Carpathian.” Ray smiled.

“We better get going.” Rowen reminded as they headed to the exhibit.

In the Gozer Exhibit, there were so many people in formal wear talking, laughing, etc. Among them, Walter Peck saw the Ghostbusters, Applejack, and Shini entering the exhibit and started making his way towards them.

Applejack looked around the women in pretty dresses. “Pretty fancy. Rarity would’ve loved this.”

“Definity.” Shini agreed as she picked up a kabob from a plate.

“No, no, NO!” The group saw Peck walking up with a couple security guards. “I want the Ghostbusters ejected from the facility immediately!”

“Where’s his honor, Pecker? We got news for him… and a photo op.” Peter grinned smugly.

“The mayor is indisposed right now. Anything you need to tell him goes through me.” Peck stated.

“Not happening, Peck-a-bee. This is for Jock and Jock alone. We will wait for him to get redisposal.” Peter spoke.

While they were talking, no one saw Illyssa looking closely at a statue. It’s eyes glowed red as it seemed to possess her.

“Security! Remove these men, and girls, with excessive force!” Peck ordered.

“Uuh guys?” Everyone looked to where Ray pointed to see Illyssa levitating by the statue. There was a blinding light and sparks everywhere causing people to panic.

“Why do the good ones play hard to get.” Peter deadpanned.

Suddenly, more possessor ghost merged from the statue and began to possess some guests.

“Not again!” groaned Applejack.

The mayor walked in. “What in the heck is going on here!”

Just then, Blade Swipe opened the door. “Everyone! Get to safety!”

As the guests ran out the door, the Ghostbusters began sliming the possessed people.

“They got Peck!” Winston saw Peck floating around speaking gibberish like Applejack did.

“I never got him.” Peter shrugged as Rowen slimed him.

As the last of guests evacuated, Blade called. “Donnie! Cost is clear!”

Donnie ran it with Slimer next to him. “Okay. Help me get the traps in place!”

As the others slimed the possessed people, Ray and Applejack focused on Peck until he was free and slimed.

“Hurts, doesn’t it? Let it out.” Ray spoke.

Peck glared at them. “I’ll see you all on Rikers island for this!”

“You’re welcome!” Applejack growled as he stormed off.

“Whoa! Take a break! Do you ever shut up?” Peter jived while Slimer blew a raspberry.

“Lure them over here!” Donnie called to the group.

They then began using their Proton Streams on the possessors before they could control more people. When they were in position, Donnie and Blade stepped on the pedals opening the traps. Slimer pressed one himself and trapped one too. Before long, all the possessors were captured.

“That’s all of them. Now for Illyssa!” Blade stated.

Everyone looked up to Illyssa who was still floating. Just before anyone could do anything, another ghost appeared out of nowhere and grabbed her and ran out of the room.

“So, what now?” Rowen asked.

“Okay, you guys go after Illyssa. Be careful. Shinigami and I will go to security.” Ray instructed.

“I love this plan.” Peter gleamed.

“I’ll man the security cameras to triangulate them on the monitors and talk you through.” Ray explained.

“Good. I want a little payback.” Applejack held her thrower firmly.

“See you both soon. Let’s go guys!” Winston led the group through the doors.

“See you soon.” Shini waved. “Dr. Rutherford? If you’ll show us to security?”

Peter, Winston, Donnie, Applejack, Blade, Rowen, and Slimer hurried in the next room which was an Mayan Aztec room. They saw Illyssa struggling to get free from the ghost.

“Venkman! Get me down from here!”

“That’s our cue!” Peter opened fire.

“I doubt that fellas gonna do anything nice to her.” Applejack stated.

They missed the ghost who ran off with Illyssa again. Suddenly, the mannequins began to move and run towards the group.

“Mannequin ambush!” Donnie cried.

“Don’t bother capturing them! Blast them into nothingness!” Winston instructed.

They all blasted their way through the bunches of soldiers as they tried to hurry.

“That was nowhere near fatal.” Peter sighed as they hurried to the next room.

The next room looked like temple. They looked to see the ghost with Illyssa before he bolted again.

“Hurry! Before they get away!” cried Winston before they saw more warriors charging at them.b“Let’s take it to the bridge!”

“Did Winston just say ‘Take it to the bridge’? What exactly are you guys doing there?” Ray asked in his walkie.

“Fewer funny jokes. More getting to the security cameras, please, Ray.” Donnie responded.

As they blasted, Blade noticed one Manniquin look like he was giving orders. “That one is the leader! I'm going after him!”

“Blade...” Winston could only watch as Blade Swipe raced across the room as the mannequins attacked.

“He's either crazy or brave.” Peter mumbled.

“Just shut up and cover him!” Donnie stated as he fired.

As the others covered fire, Blade ran past the mannequins using his hockey stick to hit them. He made it to the leader and fought him one on one before charging his stick and destroyed it.

“Get to the temple! The glowing one!” Winston led the group to Blade who sheathed his weapon.

“Remember when I said he was crazy? Well, I lied.” Peter admitted.

Applejack grabbed her walkie. “Stantz, Shini, any idea where they went?”

“We haven’t made it to the security office yet! This place is really hopping!” Ray spoke in the radio.

“Yeah. That’s a big 10-4.” Winston deadpanned.

“Let’s go this way!” Rowen kicked a door opened and they all entered the next room. They heard the ghost laugh when more manniquins.

“I’ve had enough!” Applejack put her claws on. “I know we’re dealing with ghost, but it’s time to show what ninjas can do.”

Donnie pulled out his staff as Blade drew his sword and followed AJ as the three sliced and fought the manniquins tearing them apart.

The Ghostbusters were surprised at the three’s progress.

“Wow! They’re good.” Rowen admitted.

“This could save us some trouble.” Winston added.

“Go ninja! Go ninja! Go!” cheered Slimer.

“Yeah, I gotta admit it. Maybe sticks and blades can fight the paranormal.” Peter shrugged.

“Let’s save Dr. Seldwyn.” Donnie stated as they sheathed their weapons.

As the group entered the next room, Peter looked at the displays. “Hittite. Mennonite. Phoenician. Babylonian. Assyrian. Mesopotamian. Sumerian.”

“Ah he’s making it up.” Winston griped while Slimer chuckled.

“Just one of those things. Ah, you pick this stuff up. You know, around the office.” Peter grinned.

They soon came up to a gate that blocked their entrance to the next room. Just then, they heard Ray on the walkie.

“Peter, come in.”

“Hi honey. How was your day?” Peter teased.

“Shinigami and I have reached the security office. This one is in shambles! It’s been sabotaged. Black slime all over the place. Only a few cameras are working.” Ray reported.

“When you guys got a moment, could you open gate 3487?” Donnie asked.

“Give me a minute.”

“Found it.” Shini spoke as the gate lifted up.

“Uh oh! We’re under attack! We’ll get back to you guys!” Ray gasped.

“Ray, stay away from any posessors.” Winston warned before they heard gibberish.

“Kazza gorba smotz chorzig glump!! Froga Froga!”

“Dr. Stantz is unavailable right now. Give us a sec.” Shini chimed in.

“Just go catch him, Shini. And keep Dr. Rutherford safe.” Winston advised.

As the group entered an exhibit of the Civil War, Ray talked again on the walkie. “Okay, Shini got that possessor off me. We made it to a different security room. Shini says Rutherford hurried away to safety. Must’ve scared him away.”

“You’re not pretty when possessed, Ray. Seriously.” Winston responded.

“Uh uh.” Slimer shook his head.

“We got you guys on the cameras. You’re coming up on the Civil War exhibit.” Shini reported. “Illyssa just passed through here.”

“Okay we’re on it. Thanks.” Applejack responded.

The group made their way to the other side of the room when the exit doors slammed shut.

“Or not.” Blinked Rowen.

“You know the difference between this exhibit and the other ones?” Winston grimaced. “The soldiers in this one have guns! Let’s just pass through here as quickly as we can, and…”

“Uh Winston?” Slimer poked his shoulder.

The group looked to see ghosts of civil war soldier appeared and started firing at each other.

“Yeah. I didn’t think we could do it, either. I was just thinking happy thoughts, is all.”

“I’m getting heavy interference on the monitors. Are you guys in trouble?” Ray asked.

“Couldn’t have been the American Revolutionary, could it? Or the war of the Roses. Even the war on drugs! It just had to be this one.” Ranted Winston.

“Hold that thought.” Donnie replied to Ray.

“Maybe just a prop, but those barrels are marked explosive!” Peter pointed.

“Well, I’m not gonna find out!” Applejack stated as she turned her pack on.

As the others started blasting, Blade turned to Rowen. “Rowen, circle around to the right. I’ll take the right. And get your trap ready.”

“Got it.” Rowen did as he was told as he and Blade snuck behind the soldiers’ fort. Both threw a couple traps underneath the distracted soldiers.

“NOW!” on Blade’s mark, the two opened the traps and caught all the soldiers.

“Let’s see them fellas fight it over in that trap!” Applejack stated.

“Nice strategy there.” Winston grinned as they collected the traps.

“Just a little maneuver I learned from soldier training.” Blade shrugged.

“Yep. They took some casualties.” Peter grinned.

“Now let’s get Illyssa.” Donnie stated.

As they left the room, Ray spoke on the radio.

“Okay, Shini and I made it to the security office. We see you guys on the cameras. No sign of Illyssa or her kidnappers though. Get this. In the early 1900s, the museum was run by a board of trustees. Powerful guys, tycoons, captains of industry. The chairman of the board was Cornelius Wellsley of International Steel. The museum was used by the board as a respectable front for all kinds of dubious activities. Mainly though, they were in a club run by our favorite evil architect.”

“Ivo Shandor.” Shini added.

“Right. They hired women from the St. Nicholas Rehabilitation Mission for Wayward Angels. Rumor has it, the board conducted all kinds of nasty rituals using these women.”

“The more I hear about this Shandor guy, the more my skin crawls.” Applejack sneered.

“We gotta find Illyssa and fast!” Donnie stated as they hurried.

Soon they entered the Egyptian exhibit as Winston spoke. “Well, here we are. The Egypt exhibit. I practically lived here while I was working on my doctorate.”

“I don’t know. I think of puzzles and children’s card games when it comes to Egypt.” Donni recalled. “Something I heard about from our recent friend Gill.”

“There was less black slime then!” Everyone turned to see a puddle of black slime letting flaming skulls out.

“Close the gap!” Donnie cried as they slimed the portal while Rowen and Peter blasted the skulls.

“That was easy.” Applejack said before kicking the door open. “Uh, D? unless you remembered your cloak watch, you might want to cut back. Civilians.”

“Oh.” Donnie wide-eyed, realizing he forgot his cloaking device.

“We got this. Just stay behind me and Winston.” Peter instructed.

Donnie hid behind the two as they entered the room to see civilians on the other side of the gate.

“It’s okay, folks! Be calm. Everything’s under control!” Winston assured.

“It’s the Ghostbusters!” a man gasped. “Ghosts! Get away! Get away!”

They were being chased by more mannequins. Peter turned to Slimer. “Slimer! See if you can draw those guys away from those people.”

“Me?!” Slimer blinked.

“Just try to get them to us and we’ll trap them. Now go!”

“Okay, Peter.” Slimer then phased through the gate and did as he was told.

“Let’s go this way!” Donnie suggested as they entered another temple room.

“Watch it!” Peter warned as the doors suddenly closed behind them.

“Not another temple!” groaned Blade drawing his sword.

“Of course. They trapped us inside with the ghosts.” Winston griped. “Wouldn’t it be nice to be locked on the outside for once every now and then?”

“Sometimes, I wonder if you guys want to get out of doing your job instead of just doing it.” Applejack sighed as she got her claws and Donnie drew his staff. “Don’t think I ever said this and Leo isn’t here. Ninjas! Take’em down!”

The three jumped down and fought off more Aztec mannequins and sliced them up into many pieces. Suddenly, more civil war ghosts appeared and tried to fire at the ninjas when Winston, Peter, and Rowen fired their streams at them.

“You were saying?” Peter grinned at Applejack who responded by smiling and pulling out a trap and opening it sucking the ghosts in.

Winston grabbed his walkie. “Ray, how do we get out of the Egypt exhibit? The main door is locked up tight.”

“The Egyptian main room? Check the west wall. There should be a door leading through to the next exhibit.” Ray answered.

The group hurried to the west wall only to see a wall as Donnie responded. “We’re at the West Wall, but we don’t see a door.”

“Guys, remember what Dr. Spengler said. That ghosts can block up exits and the Slime Blowers can dissolve them.” Shini reminded.

“Allow me!” Rowen fired his slime blower at the wall which dissolved into a door.

“Nice work.” Winston thanked as they hurried out.

The group hurried through a hallway when the lights suddenly shut off and turned on again a second later.

“That was creepy.” Donnie muttered.

Applejack looked around to notice someone was missing. “Wait! Where’s Venkman?”

“Where did Peter go now?” Winston wondered.

They were about to head to a turn when-

“Nyahhahaha!”

“Hi, Venkman.” Applejack was unfazed by Peter’s scare.

Peter huffed. “Scooter, we have to go. Let’s roll!”

“We better hurry. Slimer might need out help.” Blade feared.

They hurried through more exhibits before arriving to another close gate. On the other side, Ray and Shini hurried to them.

“Hey guys! Did you find Illyssa?” Shini greeted.

“Not yet, but according to this PKE Meter, we’re close!” Donnie assured.

“Her kidnapper must have taken back to the Gozer Exhibit.” Ray guessed as he opened the gate for them.

“We gotta find Slimer too!” Rowen gasped. “He was distracting a couple ghosts that were chasing the guests!”

“All token care of.” The group turned to see Slimer with Gamer and Egon running up to them. Gamer held up a trap. “We got them right here.”

“Glad you could make it.” Applejack greeted.

“I had to hurry over to tell you guys my discovery.” Egon said before looking around. “Where’s Venkman?”

“I saw him go in the Gozer exhibit. Let’s go!” Rowen pointed as they hurried to the Gozer Exhibit.

As it turned out, Peter was helping Illyssa up who was regaining consciousness.

“What a nightmare.” She sighed.

“Thank you. Not the words a rescuing hero wants to hear from his damsel in distress. May I say your eyes are much prettier when they’re not glowing like hot coals.”

Illyssa smiled at Peter’s banter as the two leaned close to each other. Just then, the rest of the ghost busting group hurried in as Egon spoke. “Peter! I made an extraordinary frightening discovery!”

“Why won’t you all go away!” Peter pouted unaware he accidently dropped Illyssa.

“Romance is over! Just listen to what Dr. Spengler discovered!” Gamer declared.

“All my data indicates that the Ghostworld is beginning to push through multiple cross portals from their dimension into ours!” Egon explained.

“If that’s true, then they might find a way to our dimension or even one of our friends’ dimensions!” Donnie realized.

“We can’t let that happened!” Applejack stated.

Peter responded by tucking his belt. “Well, more overtime.”

“Guys! Look!” Everyone looked to where Winston and Blade were looking at to see the symbol from before.

“The nodes are glowing!” Blade noted as Egon looked at it.

“Just like the other one. These nodes might indicate the locations of the cross portals to the Ghostworld.”

“And that one’s black because we shut it down at the library.” Ray added.

“So we shut down the rest. It’s a poodle walk, right?” Peter guessed.

“First we gotta find them.” Shini reminded.

“Uh fellas. There’s only one light out there.” Winston pointed. “So if the place is depicted on that symbol too…”

“Then the museum is still active!” Applejack realized. “Stay sharp!”

Suddenly merging from a puddle of black slime was the ghost who ran off with Illyssa. Everyone looked in shock as he glowed before combining with the skeleton of a Tyrannosaurus Rex covering it in black slime.

“Holy Chalupa!” Donnie gasped.

“Definitely a final boss.” Gamer gulped.

“When I was a kid, I dreamed of fighting a T-Rex.” Ray reminisced. “Of course, it had skin and bones and was alive I only had a club, but with lemons we make lemonade.”

“Yum! Yum!” Slimer salivated.

“You have a weird way of making lemonade, Ray.” Blade said.

“This is where we earn our paycheck.” Winston stated. “And this is where we realize we’re not being paid enough.”

“Least you’re getting paid.” Shini deadpanned as the T-Rex roared at the group.

Peter turned to Shini. “Shini, you and Slimer get Illyssa out of here before Dino hits on her again!”

Shini led Illyssa out of harm’s way as Slimer hid underneath her hat.

“He’s covered in black slime! What now?” Gamer asked.

“Rowen, Applejack, and I will hit it with slime while the rest of you blast it!” Donnie suggested.

“It’s our best strategy!” Egon agreed.

“Hose’em!” Applejack cried as she, Rowen, and Donnie all slimed the T-Rex. After a little sliming, the dino was exposed.

“Now we got him! Everyone! Wrangle the nod on his head and slam that sucker to the ground before he breaks loose!” Winston cried as the others fired their proton streams.

Blade then charged electricity through his blaster intensifying his beam like before. This was enough to tear the skeleton apart, but the head floated back up and recovered in black slime.

“This is gonna be harder than I thought.” He sweated.

“Man, you can’t tell me these went quietly during extinction!” Winston huffed. “You just don’t see this kind of fight anymore!”

“Triceratons were bad enough! I’d hate to face anymore dinosaurs after this!” Donnie mentioned as he slimed the head.

“Why couldn’t the black slime make its way to a pillow factory? It always has to be something that has huge dangerous inanimate objects in it.” Ray wondered.

“Just lucky is my guess.” Gamer guessed as he ran past Ray.

“He’s loosing black slime! Keep sliming him!” Applejack cried.

“Gotta time it just right.” Blade concentrated his electric attack through his proton pack which Egon noticed.

“Blade! What are you doing?”

“Trying to end this with one blow.” Blade answered.

Egon saw the intense lightning on Blade and looked concerned. “Hmmm.”

“The black slime’s off! Hit it with everything you got!” Rowen cried.

Everyone shot their streams at the T-Rex’s head. As it roared, Blade yelled as he fired a huge blast at the head. This was enough to drive the ghost out of it as it disintegrated.

“Our own little Jurassic playground.” Winston joked.

“Just need to choose a good name to avoid copyright.” Gamer added.

“Look! The nods shut down!” Donnie pointed to the symbol as a nod went black. “We did it!”

Everyone looked to see Walter Peck with a little slime on his suit stormed up and he was not happy at all.

“This is the final straw! I should’ve shuttered you fraudulent gangsters forever when I had the chance! You and your teenage cohorts! You know what? I’m going to put an end to this madness now! Right now! I’m shutting down your containment grid for good! You can kiss off a permanent liscense, not to mention any chance of more government contracts. You did this to me, and you’re going to pay!”

Gamer angrily shook before Applejack grabbed him shaking her head no.

“You’re welcome, you Peck!” Ray taunted.

“Alright, that’s it! That’s it, you’re done, smart guys! You are done, you smart cool guys! I have the authority and I’m going to shut you and your phony containment grid down NOW! The whole city will have to pay for your shenanigans. The WHOLE city!” Peck rambled on, unaware of Egon scanning him with his PKE Meter behind him.

“What? But that shuts you down too.” Peter raised his brow.

“Ya might wanna think twice.” Applejack warned.

But Peck ignored her. “Then so be it! I have bigger fish to fry.” He then heard Egon’s meter and snapped. “AND GET HIM OFF ME!”

Egon backed up as Peck stormed off. He then turned to Peter. “I think we need to keep an eye on him.”

“Ya think?” retorted Peter.

“No, I mean we really need to keep an eye on him.” Egon stated.

“I’m surprised he didn’t say anything about Donnie.” Rowen pointed.

“Probably too angry to notice.” Donnie shrugged.

As Shini and Illyssa joined the group with Slimer, Peter then noticed something. “Hey, Blade doesn’t look so good.”

Everyone looked to see Blade Swipe staggering before collapsing.

“BLADE!” the group cried as they hurried to him.

“Get his pack off!” Ray cried as he and Peter took off Blade’s pack.

“Is he all right?” Illyssa worried.

Gamer analyzed him with his goggles. “It looks like he’s just drained.”

“He must’ve used a lot of energy fighting that T-Rex!” Donnie theorized.

“We better get him back to my lab right away.” Egon stated.

“Applejack, help me get him in Ecto-1!” Winston cried.

“Right!” Applejack hurried to help Winston lift Blade up. “Blade. Hold on.”

To Blade, everything was blurry as he faded out.

Author's Note

Here's our next page from Tobin's:

Tyrannosaurus Rex Skeleton

• Category: Class 7 Hybrid Conglomerate
• Abilities: Black Slime Composition, Bite Attack, Tail Swipe

I've referenced smaller conglomerations elsewhere in this tome, beings composed of a small collective of objects drawn together by some common drive. On the larger end of the scale are mass inhabitation conglomerates. These much larger collections are composed of objects being actively possessed by a specter of high consciousness. These manifestations actively work in tandem to simulate the actions of a much larger being. This is usually a defensive measure, though it can also have a great utility.

Notes:

• I thought I'd have Applejack possessed instead of Ray because I could see AJ getting possessed because of her stubbornness.

• It was Darth Wrex's idea to go with the T-Rex from the Wii version instead of the Chairman in the Xbox/PS version. It works.

-Don't worry. Blade will be fine.

and I think that's it.

Next time: The Mandala!
