[Jake narrating]
Hi, Jake Kong here.

In part one of our story

Prime Evil's ghosts
captured our fathers.



The original Ghostbusters.

Eddie, Tracy and I
have traveled through time

and into the future
to try and stop Prime Evil

and find our fathers.

[dramatic music]

[rumbling]

[whoosh]

Jake, we're in the future.

We made it.

[Jake] But look everything's
stopped.

Prime Evil and his ghosts

have taken control
of the entire city

[Eddie]
There's something
going on over there.

Let's go check it out.

[whoosh]

[zap]

It's the office.
Ghost command.

Yeah and the ghosts
are attacking it.

[boom]

[zap]

[whirring]

[swoosh]

[instrumental music]

They're after that gal.

I say..

You wouldn't dematerialize me
before I've had my tea?

Oh, wouldn't I?

[zap]

Not very sporting of you, girl.

Come on, let's give
her a hand.

Maybe our fathers are inside.

[whoosh]

[zap]

I'll use the Specter Snare.
Eddie, get your Ghost Gummer.

Tracy you'll need
something too.

[grunting]

[kiss]

Right, that'll be of big help.

Tracy, look out.

[swoosh]

[whoosh]

[[crash]]

Oh, nice work, guys.

[whoosh]

[zap]

[sloshing]

[instrumental music]

Oh, yuck, yuck, yuck
in a bottle of goo.

[zap]

[howls]

[pulsating]

[screeching]

The ghost remover will send her
back to Ghostland for a while.

[pulsating]

-Busted.
-Congratulations, partners.

I think we just busted
our first ghosts.

Let's get inside.

Tracy, use the
garage door opener.

[Tracy]
Okie-dokie.

[swoosh]

[crash]

[crash]

I meant the electric
garage opener.

[dramatic music]

-Hi, we're the--
-[Futura] Yes, I know.

The sons of the Ghostbusters.

I'm Futura, Ghostbusteress
of the future.

It doesn't look like
we have much of a future.

Prime Evil has stopped
everything in sight.

And we think he's taken
our fathers too.

[gasps]
Your fathers?

I have something
that might help.

[thunderclap]

[Prime Evil] So, those junior
ghost... busters

have show up here
in the future.

Huh! Those, little brats
couldn't bust a fly.

This will take care of them.

What be that, mate?

A zombie bomb.

You will set it off
at ghost command and..

Poof! Futura and the ghost
brats will be come walking
zombies.

It's now or never.

[instrumental music]

It's that blasted bat
from the cave!

Get him, Brat-a-rat.

[chuckles] Don't worry,
Your Primeness.

When you want a job done right,
you can always count on me..

[thud]

Never mind the bat.

[Prime Evil]
Long John... get going.

And don't come back until the
ghost brats are walking
zombies.

I found this in the files
when I first took over.

It's a piece
of an old stone tablet.

With words carved on it.

[Eddie] "Find fathers
and save the future."

What? Let me see that.

"Find fathers.."

This is it!
This is the clue we needed.

Look this piece is been broken
off from a larger tablet.

If we can find
the rest of it--

And the rest of the message.

Right, it'll lead us
to our dads.

[Jake]
Thanks, Futura.

[Long John chuckles]

This zombie bomb will turnthose little ghost shrimps intozombies.

Oh, shiver me spirits.

The flint is wet.

I can't get a spark.

[thud]

Argh! Quick, quick,
quick, r-r-run.

Now, now, now.
No need for panic.

What's the problem?

Ah, that pirate ghost
out there

is gonna set off
a zombie bomb.

Well, in that case..

Quick, quick, run!

I can teleport us
to your Ghost Buggy.

Go for it.

[pulsating]

[boom]

[laughs] How did you do that?

I have special mental powers.

I'll explain later.

Right now, we better
get out of here.

Time Hopper?

[Time Hopper]
Ready for time travel, Futura.

Say, cutie, how about a little
time travelin' with m-m-me?

Not now, G.B.

Let's head back to ghost
command in our time.

We've gotta study
that stone tablet.

[grunting]

You do have the stone?

[grunting]

You left it in the office?

I'll get it.

-No!
-No!

The bomb could go off
any second.

After him.

[whoosh]

[thud]

[crackling]

[Belfry]
I got it.

Hurry! The bomb's
about to go off.

Tracy, switch on
the time turbo.

[crackling]

[swoosh]

[boom]

[crackling]

Oh, we made it.

We broke the time barrier
just as the bomb went off.

We made it.
But poor little bat didn't.

Yeah. He's probably
a zombie by now.

We never even knew his name.

[Belfry]
Voila. The name is Belfry.

And I'm no zombie.

-Whoa! Thank goodness.
-Thank goodness.

[Futura]
You're okay.

I even got this.

Nice work, Belfry.

Now, let's get back
to ghost command

and see if this stone will
help us find our fathers.

[swoosh]

[Prime Evil] Argh! Those ghost
brats got away.

Ah, but who cares.

They're no threat to me.

What's that?

[crash]

[rumbling]

Anyone ever tell you,
you drive like a zombie?

[beeping]

This television can't
seem to locate your fathers.

Look, this channel
has Prime Evil.

Now, you all heard
my new instructions..

[snores]

[laughs]

Scared Stiff wasn't
paying attention. [chuckles]

-[snores]
-[tinkling]

I..

I was so..

We're suppose to go
forward in time.

Wrong, bolt-brain.
I said, go back in time.

Maybe this will teach
you to listen.

[crackling]

[dramatic music]

Why can't he just send me
to the principal's office?

Like, my teachers did.

We will work our way back
through time.

Taking over year after year.

Until we control all time.
[laughs]

He means business.

We've gotta stop him.

And find our fathers.

We will as soon as
Tracy figures out

where's the rest
of the stone tablet is.

[grunting]
Just doing it.

According to his tracer

one of the pieces of the stone
fell off at Stonehenge.

What's a Stonehenge anyway?

A famous monument in England.

And that's where we're going.

We will meet you outside.

Oh, what about me?

Ah, gee, Belfry somebody's
gotta look after the office.

Ever noticed how when
a grown up says somebody

they always mean you.

Head for England, G.B.

[screech]

E-E-England?
Do I look like the Queen Mary?

I-I-I refuse
to go to England.

No way! They drive on the wrong
side of the road and they..

Well, hello.

Ready to transport
to England, Futura.

England? Did you say England?

Why, that's just where
I happened to be going.

[dramatic music]

[boing]

[Ghost Buggy]
Follow me.

[whoosh]

[whoosh]

[dramatic music]

[Eddie]
So this is Stonehenge.

You say, the rocks
have been like this

for thousands of years?

That's right, Eddie.

Scientist think it may
have worked as our calendar

by marking positions
of the sun and moon.

But nobody has ever figured out

how the ancients managed
to move the rocks.

They weigh tons.

No problem.

[thud]

You don't suppose Tracy had
ancestors in ancient England.

[Prime Evil]
Blast! Those miserable
little brats won't give up.

They are after the rest
of that stone tablet.

Sir Trance-a-lot.

[zap]

[pulsating]

[neighs]

Imbecile! How many times
have I told you?

Don't bring the horse
in the house!

Oh, I'm sorry,
Your Prime Majesty.

You'll go to Stonehenge
and make sure the ghost brats

don't get the next piece
of the stone tablet.

Now, move!

-[bong]
-[crackling]

[zap]

[Sir Trance-a-lot]
Let's go, Frightmare! [laughs]

[boom]

[instrumental music]

[boom]

[pulsating]

Did you hear something?

[Eddie]
I-It's just your imagination.

[music continues]

[shivering]

You weren't by any chance
imagining a horse?

[dramatic music]

[beeping]

Your tracer has found it.

[grunting]

[Jake]
Another piece of the tablet.

Eddie, Futura over here.

[Tracy grunting]

[snores]

[laughs]

My trusty trance lance
put 'em right to sleep.

Just like couple of babies.

[Jake]
Eddie? Futura!

Uh-oh!

[zap]

[crackling]

The rocks are coming to life.

[rumbling]

[laughs]

[rumbling]

[dramatic music]

[rumbling].

[grunting]

[rocks growling]

Tracy, quick.
The Spirit Shackles

Right.

[crackling]

[crackling]

No problem.

[Jake]
They're under a trance.

Tracy, do you have anything
to reverse it?

I got it.

Yikes!

You two alright?

-Ah! Where did he go?
-Aaah!

Don't bother looking for this.

He's got the piece
of the stone tablet.

So long, ghost babies.

Have a nice day.

[Sir Trance-a-lot]
And a bad night.
[laughs]

He's escaping into the past.

G.B., Time Hopper
over here. Quick!

[instrumental music]

Oh, my aching
shock ab-s-s-sorbers.

Time turbo, Tracy.

Okie-dokie.

[Jake]
After 'em.

We are heading
into the past too.

[birds chirping]

[Merlin]
Go ahead, Fuddy.

The other students have all
made something appear
magically.

Just this once see if you
can get it right.

Oh, peaks pikes pokes pie.
Oh, appear by magic in the sky.

[whirring]

[slosh]

[laughing]

Oops! I'm so sorry, Merlin.

Oh, little slip of the spell.

Fuddy, keep this up and you'll
be an apprentice for another
150 years.

[dramatic music]

[Sir Trance-a-lot laughing]

Is this another one
of your foolish spells?

Oh, no, no.

Oh, honest, Merlin, no.

[swoosh]

[boom]

[thud]

He's got a flat.

Looks like we lost
Sir Trance-a-lot.

Never mind that.

We're being attacked
by the two guys in skirts.

Who are you?
Sorcerers?

We're ghostbusters.

We've come from the future.

I am Merlin.

Sorcerer to King Arthur.

King Arthur?

He'll want to meet you at once.

We don't have
to wear skirts, do we?

I don't believe it.

[instrumental music]

[Jake] And then Sir
Trance-a-lot got away

when our Ghost Buggy
got a flat tire.

So, the evil Sir Trance-a-lot
has returned to Camelot.

This is a sad day indeed.

Any idea where to find him?

[King Arthur]
He lives in a haunted castle
not far from here.

I've sent my bravest knights
to stop him.

But none have ever returned.

-Tell us how to get there.
-I'll do better than that.

Fuddy, tonight you'll
lead the Ghostbusters

to the castle
of Sir Trance-a-lot.

Uh, me? Oh, oh, it would be
a great honor, Your Majesty.

But Merlin's twice as good
a sorcerer as I am.

True. But I can't afford
to lose him.

[dramatic music]

[whoosh]

[instrumental music]

Uh-h-h. That's
the Sir Trance-a-lot's place

is right near here.

I wonder where he does
his shoppin'?

Pretty neat looking sword.

It's Excalibur.

King Arthur's magic sword.

I thought only King Arthur
was allowed to use Excalibur.

Well, well, I sort
of borrowed it.

I would bring it
right back, you know?

I don't think
that's such a good idea.

[Futura]
Look, there it is.

[Fuddy] The haunted castle
of Sir Trance-a-lot.

J-J-Jake we don't really
have to go in there do we?

Well, we've gotta find
our fathers, right?

Right!

And the next piece
of the stone tablet

might have a clue
about how to do it.

[Eddie]
Right.

And Sir Trance-a-lot
has that missing piece.

-Right.
-So we just have one choice.

[Eddie] Right.

Tell him to drop it in the mail
and let's get out of here.

Okay! I was just kidding.

[Sir Trance-a-lot laughs]

And so... you've found my
humble little home.'

Come on in. As you will be
staying here for a while.

A long while!
[laughs]

Stay tuned
for some scary scenes

from the next episode
of "Ghostbusters."

And now here
are some scenes

from the next episode
of "Ghostbusters."

[crash]

[zap]

Ahhaahoo!

[swoosh]
