  The wiry artist tried to retreat.

  Dana leapt into action, running across the studio and diving at her child, effectively snatching floating Oscar from Vigo's outstretched, murderous hand.

  Dana and her child tumbled onto the floor safely.

  Venkman sneered at Janosz. "Happy New Year."

  Janosz trotted in front of Vigo's animated portrait. His master would save him. Vigo bellowed in rage.

  Spengler found himself grinning at both the ghoul and his human henchman. "Feel free to try something stupid."

  With Vigo to back him up, Janosz now felt powerful. "You pitiful miserable creatures! You dare to challenge the power of Darkness?"

  Janosz emitted a harsh cackle. "Don't you realize what you are dealing with? He's Vigo! You are like the buzzing of flies to him!"

  Venkman shook his head sadly. "Oh, Johnny, did you back the wrong horse."

  With that the four Ghostbusters let loose with their slime blowers, hosing down Janosz from head to toe. The force of the flying mood slime knocked Janosz across the room.

  The four men then turned to the twitching, roaring portrait of Vigo. Vigo was now almost completely solid, almost free of his prison. He was now held in the portrait only from his knees down. He spat and bellowed at the Ghostbusters, trying to unleash his black-magical pow­ers full tilt.

  The Ghostbusters stood firm, secure in the knowl­edge that the source of Vigo's power had been neutral­ ized by the love and goodwill of the people of New York.

  "You will be destroyed!" Vigo roared.

  Stantz walked forward. "Viggy, Viggy, Viggy, you have been a bad little monkey."

  Venkman smiled at the sputtering painting. "The whole city's together on this one, Your Rottenness. We took a vote. Everybody's down on you. The people have spoken."

  "So"—Winston smiled, raising his slime blower— "say good night now."

  Vigo roared and, focusing his magic directly down on Stantz, transformed the stunned Ray into a sputter­ ing, wild-eyed demon. Demon Ray leapt in front of the painting. "The power of Vigo is greater than anything you wield," demon Ray howled. "We will destroy you!"

  "Don't shoot!" Spengler yelled. "You'll hit Ray!

  Winston, the nearest to the portrait, inhaled and, gritting his teeth, fired the slime blower. Both Ray and Vigo were coated with a thick layer of ooze.

  Vigo bellowed and howled at the sky. His body

  and were greeted with cheers from the massive crowd. Venkman pointed to Dana and her baby. The crowd spontaneously broke out into "Auld Lang Syne."

  Someone handed Stantz a bottle of champagne. He held it up for the crowd's approval.

  At that point a city bus pulled up in front of the museum. Louis skittered out, in full uniform lugging the oversize proton pack. He turned back to the smiling Slimer in the driver's seat.

  "Okay, so Monday night we'll get something to eat and maybe go bowling? Can you bowl with those little arms?"

  Slimer grunted and slobbered a reply, flexing his rubber-band biceps.

  "Okay." Louis nodded. "I have to go save Dana. I'll see you later."

  Slimer howled and sent the bus zigzagging off. Louis struggled through the celebrating crowd and stumbled up to the Ghostbusters.

  "Am I too late?" he whined.

  Stantz smiled at the diminutive fellow. "No, Louis. You're right on time."

  Stantz popped the cork on the champagne bottle and handed it to Louis as the crowd continued to sing.
