Team RWBY: Ghostbusters

Chapter 8

Later that week, as Easter was growing closer and closer, after Yang and Blake had gotten back from a job, they were in one of the upper floors of the firehouse, Weiss getting a bowl of the experimental Dust.

"So let me get this straight, you're using some of your spare time on a hunch?" Yang comments. "With developing a Dust that reacts to emotions?"

"Well, I'm not wanting to take any chances." Weiss comments

"We've been trying all sorts of music too." Ruby comments. "Even stuff from Team FNKI."

Weiss set up a rolling speaker and album player as Ruby gently poured some of the Dust into an old microwave that stopped working properly a couple weeks ago.

"It loves Jackie Wilson for some reason." Weiss comments

Weiss hit play and the song that was selected was, naturally 'Higher and Higher' by Jackie Wilson. 

Team RWBY watched as the toaster began slowly twitching.

"Give it a second." Weiss comments

The microwave then straight up began jumping around, almost dancing. Everyone watched more and more. Eventually, the microwave with one somewhat big jump flung it's door open and it continued jumping around a little until Weiss turned the music off which stopped the microwave's dancing.

"What an Easter gift." Yang comments

"Right, and the first time someone gets mad around that thing, it'll eat their hand." Blake comments

"No, if we put labels on it we won't have any real chance o that." Yang comments. "But what exactly is the hunch you had, Weiss?"

Weiss turned the music off and sighed.

"You know that supposed portal frame held in the museum?" Weiss comments. "I got a feeling somehow that someone is gonna use that and allow something to breach into our world that shouldn't."

"You mean that old Land of Darkness portal?" Blake comments, getting a nod. "What could possibly come from that?"

Weiss sighed.

"Salem." Weiss comments. "As much as I think it's a myth, with half the things we've seen with this job, we can't entirely rule out her actually being real. And something's felt weird about that exhibit the past two days."

Blake and Yang rose their eyebrows.

"I fear something is gonna lead to that portal actually opening and allowing Salem's entrance into our world." Weiss comments

Meanwhile, at Beacon Academy, in the headmaster's office, Ozpin looked out the window and took a sip from his cup of tea and sighed.

"Professor Ozpin, is something the matter?" Glynda asked, looking up from her tablet

"Salem is planning to break out of the Land of Darkness through a portal in the museum." Ozpin comments. "And with Easter on the way, I feel there may not be enough people at the museum to stop it."

Glynda sighed.

"Sir, that museum is one of the most heavily guarded buildings in the city." Glynda comments. "No way in any word of it will anyone probably be able to break in to use that portal. Plus, if my research proves correct, it requires something that would be basically impossible to do with teh Ghostbusters being a thing."

Ozpin took a deep breath and another sip of his drink.

"I will try to alert the Atlas military to it." Glynda comments, stepping out

Ozpin looked back out the window.

"I never thought I would say this, but I hope the Ghostbusters are ready for what's coming..." Ozpin comments. "Cause the kingdom of Vale-no, the whole WORLD, may need their help if we're to make it past Easter."

Meanwhile, Team JNPR were watching the news. Another report of some work the Ghostbusters had done finally was broadcast.

"Team RWBY seems to be doing really well for themselves." Ren comments

"Glad to hear they're doing well even after being booted out of Beacon." Pyrrha stated

"Why were they even kicked out again?" Jaune asked

"Something about an assignment of theirs going horribly wrong." Ren comments. "At least that's what I heard."

"That's odd." Jaune comments. "I thought the mission they had gone out on actually went well."

"We could pay them a visit later." Nora said. "Wonder if they can still fight good with their weapons."

Meanwhile, at the museum, the portal frame was sparking. Something was happening. In the Land of Darkness, Salem was sitting in her throne room, trying to focus. As if she was trying to open the portal herself from her end.

"Still not yet enough power." Salem said, sighing

Salem took a deep breath, trying to figure out how to go about breaking out of the Land of Darkness.

That's when her jellyfish-like Grimm she used for communication in the real world had found it's way to Cinder and Salem looked at her sphere on her throne.

"Cinder, have you found someone for what I need?" Salem asks

"Indeed I have, ma'am." Cinder responded.

Salem smiled a little.

"Who have you found?" Salem asked

"Roman Torchwick." Cinder responded. "He has an expertise that would be beneficial to your goals. He will be able to detonate a targeted EMP to set free enough ghosts to make both enough spiritual energy to create the portal but manifest enough negative energy to create a shell to prevent those Ghostbusters from being able to get in."

Salem nodded a little.

"Easter is coming up. The days surrounding Easter would be the most opportune to pull this." Cinder stated. "The staff of the museum holding the portal you wish to come through will entirely be off duty on Easter weekend."

Salem hummed in thought.

"I will handle breaking him out when the time comes." Cinder said

"You will not be enough to break him out of the prison he was sent to." Salem stated. "You will need help, Cinder. Use a Beowolf or a powerful type of Grimm in order to break him out."

"Understood, master Salem." Cinder stated

The communications then ended. Salem put her hands together and smirked.

"Only a few days Ozma then whatever your latest reincarnation is will not be able to stop me this time." Salem comments, smirking with a general sinister vibe to her face

It was only a few more days until Easter. Salem's arrival will be soon. And the world will face complete destruction if she isn't stopped when the day comes for her arrival. Soon, she will have her rule on the world.
