Ecto Fantasy, Part
3
Okay, let's take care of business first. The
Ghostbusters characters are not mine, and this story
is inspired by one of the greatest RPGs of all time, Squaresoft's 'Chrono Cross'. Takes place after "The
Trial." -

"GET OFF ME!" Kylie
Griffin was forced down a long corridor by some hulked-up creatures and thrown
into a cell. Kevin Shamrock was also thrown in, but he was out cold and had a
few bruises on his face.
"This is not good," mumbled Kylie. She looked around her cell,
which had a bunk bed, a few bones and a window. Kylie looked out the window and
almost fainted. "Oh my...

The Ecto-1 pulled into the firehouse, and Eduardo & Roland exited the
car. They went upstairs to the lab, but stopped when they heard voices.
"So Spengs, how's Janine and
Amber?" asked one.
"Just fine, Janine wanted to
come along and help..." replied Egon.
"But that vampire incident a few
months ago really put a strain on her," said another voice. Eduardo &
Roland looked at each other and shrugged. They walked in and were somewhat
surprised to see three old, familiar faces, namely Peter Venkman, Ray Stantz
& Winston Zeddemore.
"What's going on?" asked
Winston as he shook Roland's hand.
"Other than that Kylie &
Kevin are prisoners of something called Rajos, not much," replied
Eduardo.
"Who's Kevin?" asked Ray.
"And where's Garrett?"
"More importantly who is this
Rajos?" asked Roland.
Everyone looked at Egon, but he shook
his head. "I don't know who this Rajos is, I've never seen it in any of the
spirit guides."
"Hold on a sec... what captured
them anyhow?" asked Peter.
"Some large creatures that
came through one of the gates. They gave off readings similar to a Class J, and
they wore some kind of armor the protected them from our proton streams,"
replied Roland.
"Class J?" asked Ray.
"Highly physical creatures
with above average intelligence," replied Egon. "What did this armor
look like?"
"It was black and looked pretty
thin, man. And it had this weird design on the front of it," said
Eduardo.
"What type of
design?"
"It looked like a star, bent in
the shape of a crescent moon," said Roland.
"Now that is weird,"
said Peter. "You don't normally see astral bodies bent like
that."
"So what do we do?" asked
Eduardo.
"We could start by checking the
occult reference net for Rajos and any type of ancient culture that any type of
crescent stars used in it," suggested Ray.
"Examining the PKE readings from
the Gate and the creatures could also give us a clue," added Egon.
"Okay, while you guys do that, I
think the rest of us should go back to that gate, and see what we can
find," said Winston.
"Good idea, let's do it,"
said Roland.

Kylie finally recovered from the shock of what she saw. She checked on Kevin,
who was still kayoed. She stood up and began checking her cell for any signs of
weakness.
"Won't do ya any good,
lady," said a voice.
Kylie looked for where it originated.
"Who was that?"
"Over here..." Kylie
looked across the hall into another cell and saw a young man, with long blue
hair, blue eyes and pointed ears. Kylie was a bit shocked at this.
"Where am I?"
"You're in the city of
Yorne," replied the young man.
"What are you?"
"I'm what some call an
Otled."
"A what?!"
"An Otled, we are a quiet group
of people, rarely dealing with you Teys."
"Well anyhow, my name's Kylie,
and the kayoed lump on the floor is Kevin.
"I'm called Jekro."

LOCATION - NEW YORK
Back at the gate, Peter, Winston & Roland where taking readings.
"This is strange..." said
Roland.
"What?" asked Peter.
"The readings I'm getting are
higher than when Kylie & Kevin were captured."
"How is that possible?"
asked Winston.
"Maybe something is coming
through," suggested Peter.
"Whatever it is, it can't be
good," said Roland.
"We better find out what's going
on, cause by the looks of things, we're in big trouble," said
Winston.
