Chapter Eleven: The Oogie Busters

Image
            The bizarre x-shaped tear in the sky above Gravity Falls ominously loomed for nearly five entire minutes. The denizens of the town panicked, fearing the apocalypse had arrived. Only Em, Mabel, Gabby, and their new friends from Starfleet remained somewhat calm, standing in the midst of all the panic and looking skyward.             “What is it?” Mabel asked of the rift.             “It’s a dimensional rift that can tear all reality apart, unless we do something to stop it,” Captain Jace urgently stated.             “So what do we do?” Zack inquired.             “We need Ford,” Em said. “He’s an expert on these things.”             “And he’...

Chapter Ten: Grandfather (Clock) Paradox

              Scrooge offered Jace, Alec, and Isabelle a ride to the Brooklyn loft of Magnus Bane in his limousine. It was an offer the three Shadowhunters graciously accepted, considering the alternative would’ve been the B-Team Ghostbusters’ filthy, decade-old Volvo V70 (refitted to serve as their secondary Ectomobile).             Magnus’s loft was an hour’s drive from Bob’s Burgers.             The loft itself was as flamboyant as its owner, cleansed with the aroma of incense (or potions) and decorated with endless relics and keepsakes that an immortal warlock was capable of collecting. As his guests arrived, he was in the midst of sipping on a glass of wine while standing over one of his antique desks, adorned with stacks of scrolls – one spread open and anchored down by candle holders.    ...

The San Francisco Institute of Technology (a.k.a. “SFIT”) was holding a convention for up-and-coming geniuses, like Hiro himself, to showcase new inventions that would receive an acceptance into the university. Hiro planned on presenting his microbots – swarms of tiny robots that linked together in any arrangement imaginable using a neuro-cranial transmitter, worn like a sweatband on Hiro’s head.             Investors were impressed by Hiro’s presentation, including Alistar Krei (CEO of Krei Tech). Shortly after the presentation’s conclusion, Krei attempted to approach Hiro and recruit him, until…             SWOOF!             Krei’s head was nearly knocked from his shoulders by a green-glowing fist that came within a hair ...

Chapter Nine: Bounce

  Chapter Nine: Bounce             “ Hi, you’ve reached Clary. Sorry I can’t come to the phone right now, but please leave your name and number, and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can. ”             It was the sixth call in a row that sent Jace to voicemail. He grew more and more frustrated with every attempt that went unfulfilled. “C’mon, Clary!” he groaned. “Where are you?”             “Who’s Clary?” Scrooge asked him. “And why’re you callin’ her when I specifically asked for Natalie Venkman?!”             Jace hated to displease Scrooge McDuck, especially over something as trivial (and mundane ) as a Ghostbuster. “My apologies, sir. But I figured that since Clary is with the Ghostbusters right now, I could have her reach Natalie Venkman for you.” ...
