"Time Slip" Chapter Two

"Time Slip" Chapter Two
by Bryan O'Connor


Eduardo, Kylie, Roland, and Garrett, found themselves in front of the Empire State building, on a clear summer day.

Eddie: Man, where are we?

Garr: I don't know. What did you touch Eddie?

Eddie: Hey man, I didn't do anything at all!


Gar and Eddie bicker while Kylie scans the area with a PKE. She looks down and sees a blank screen. She sighs.

Kylie: Well, whatever it was, it knocked out our equipment. Maybe the packs still work. Hey, do you think Bryan might be here?

Eddie: What do you mean, girl?

Kylie: I mean, if we're here... the same thing might have happened with Bryan. Roland, can you try and get this to pick up Bryan's biological readings?

Roland: I might be able to.


Roland starts messing with the PKE. It sparks and then starts up. He hands it to Kylie.

Roland: There you go, Kylie.


The EGBs start off in the museum's direction with Kylie leading the way. They meet up with a crowd of people waving signs. The signs said "Save the Clones" and "Clones are PEOPLE too." One of the people approaches Eduardo and Garrett.


Man: Please. Help us save the clones. They are as important as everyone else and they might be our only hope of survival...

Eddie: He-here's a quarter. Now go away.

Man: Thank you, thank you! HELP SAVE THE CLONES!


The man joins the group. Eddie looks at Garrett and they shake their heads in unison.

GHOSTBUSTERS MUSEUM


Bryan is flipping through his future diar -uh, journal- while Allison tells him about his machine, yet again.

Bryan: So... explain this machine once more?

Allison: OK, last time. It enables a human to manipulate a ghost's mind. They can control it and it's powers. If it can slime and pass through walls or time travel, which not ALL ghosts do, the human can use that ghost to do those things a man can't.

Bryan: So, it's sort of like a person playing a video game?

Allison: Video game?? What's that?

Bryan: Never mind. What does this have to do with me?

Allison: Duh! You created this machine. If you were eliminated, without the idea written down, you would never build the machine. But then that just leads to a time...

Bryan: Paradox. Yeah, I know. So, what do I have to do?

Allison: Well, there was only one machine created and only one supply source available for it. Knowing you, your family probably got the idea you left a second supply elsewhere, either in the future or the past.


There is a sound of pounding on the doors, as if someone wanted to come in. Bryan craned his neck and looked out through the glass doors.

Bryan: What the?

He gets up, and opens the door, which sends Eduardo flying through it.

Eddie: AHHHHHHHH!!! He crashes onto the floor.

Bryan: Dude! Eddie! Kylie, Garrett, Roland! How'd you guys get here?

Garrett: I don't know but... *sees Allison* ...who's that?

Bryan: She's, well, um, she's my granddaughter.

Garrett: Your granddaughter? How is that possible?

Bryan: We're in the future, Garrett.

Garrett: Well, that explains the 'Save the Clones' thing. So, what are we doing here?

Bryan: Allison was about to show me, when you guys barged in.

Kylie: Show you - what?

Bryan: A machine I made.

Eddie was looking around, when he discovered something.

Eddie: Hey, Bryan, you're not mentioned anywhere in this museum, are you?

Bryan: No.

Eddie: Uh oh, somebody didn't make the Extreme Ghostbusters Hall of Fame.

Kylie: Anyway, what should we do now?

Bryan: Well, I think we...

Allison: AHEM! If you would like, you can follow me. I am from this time, you know. I know my way around here and how to get to this machine.


The EGBs look at each other and then, reluctantly, follow Allison for whatever destiny awaits them.


Eddie: Man, I just know something bad is going to happen.
