Ghost-X, a young Ghostbusters and x-men crossover

Chapter 54

The team heads back to the firehouse where Dr. Spengler will fill in on the information he gathered relating to Mastermind's sinister plans.

As the team arrived at the firehouse, Dr. Spengler was already waiting for them, surrounded by stacks of dusty tomes and scattered page papers. He looked up, his eyes intense behind his thick-rimmed glasses.

"Ah, good. You're all here. I've made some disturbing discoveries," he began, his voice grave. "Mastermind's ritual was not just a simple summoning. He was attempting to breach the boundaries between dimensions to bring forth an entity of immense power."

Egon's eyes widened. "What kind of entity?"

Dr. Spengler hesitated before answering. "I believe it's a being known as Zathoth, a creature of immense power and malevolence from beyond the stars."

The team exchanged worried glances. They knew that they were dealing with something far more sinister than they had initially thought.

"What can we expect?" Ray asked, his voice firm.

Dr. Spengler's expression was grim. "If Mastermind succeeds, Zathoth will bring destruction on a cosmic scale. We're talking about being capable of warping reality itself."

The team knew they had to act fast. They began to discuss strategies and gather equipment, preparing themselves for a massive battle ahead. They knew it wouldn't be easy, but they were determined to stop Mastermind and save the city from the clutches of Zathoth.

Peering through the windows, they saw Mastermind standing before a gathering of robed figures, his eyes gleaming with maniacal intensity. The other young ghostbusters have entered the depths of the Netherverse. They spied on Mastermind's conversation with none other than Mr. Sinister on bringing Zathoth to their world.

"No, no, no... This can't be happening," Egon whispered, his eyes fixed on the scene before them.

Deborah's grip on her proton pack tightened. "We have to stop them, now."

Ray nodded, his face set in determination. "We need to get to the others, make sure they're okay."

Winston's voice was low and urgent. "And we need to take down Mastermind and Sinister before they bring Zathoth into our world."

Peter's eyes gleamed with a fierce light. "Time to bust some ghosts... and villains."

As they watched, Mastermind's voice rose to a crescendo, his words echoing through the Netherverse. "With Zathoth's power, we will reshape reality itself! Nothing will be able to stop us!"

Mr. Sinister's smile was cold and calculating. "Indeed, Mastermind. Together, we will be unstoppable."

The team knew they had to act fast. They slipped away from the window, ready to face whatever dangers lay ahead, determined to stop Mastermind, Sinister, and Zathoth before it was too late.

"Cyclops, come in." Deborah spoke quietly through her communicator.

"I'm here, Deborah. What's going on?" Cyclops asked her.

"Mastermind and Sinister are trying to bring Zathoth into our world," Deborah replied, her voice urgent. "We need to get to the others and stop them now."

Cyclops's response was immediate. "I'm on my way. Havok, Jean, and I will meet you there. We'll put a stop to this once and for all."

Deborah nodded, even though she knew Cyclops couldn't see her. "Be careful. We don't know what we're up against."

"Roger that," Cyclops said. "We'll be there soon. Keep an eye on Macey."

Deborah glanced over at Macey, who was watching her with a determined look on her face. "Don't worry, I will."
