It was a normal day in Pacopolis. Pac Man had yet again saved the town from another invasion. As he was being congratulated on another success, something white dashed by. Pac Man and his friends decided to follow it.
They reached an alley, and approached the white figure. It turned and looked at them. It was a small white ghost, so small as if it was only a child. Its 'hair' covered about half of its left eye, and was spiked, with a light red tint at the ends of it. Its eyes were a light red.
"Huh?"
"Who...or what...is it?"
"It's a ghost...but...it's different from the others."
"How? It's just a ghost."
"I don't know how. It's just...different."
Pac Man carefully approached the ghost. It didn't try to attack at all, nor did it back away in fear, it just watched as he grew closer. Pac Man paused, and the ghost approached him. It looked up at him with a confused look.
"Why does it seem like...it doesn't know me?"
The ghost smiled, and giggled.
"Maybe it doesn't? I think it might be just a kid..."
Pac Man got an idea.
"Why don't we take them in? Maybe they could help us out later on!"
Pac Man picked up the tiny ghost. Pac Man discussed the idea with his friends, and eventually agreed on the idea.
(Meanwhile, in the Netherworld...)
Betrayus returned after yet another defeat. He sat down, already trying to think of where he went wrong this time. He heard the light tapping of metal against his throne, and looked over.
"Missing someone?"
It was Echo, an ice ghost, and the queen of the Netherworld. She looked at Betrayus, her metal claws tapping on the throne's arm as she waited for her beloved partner to respond. Betrayus was confused.
"Who?"
Echo growled, digging her claws into the throne's arm.
"I knew I should've come with. I swear, you are the most negligent ghost in the Netherworld!"
Betrayus was still confused.
"I still don't know what you're talking about."
Echo grabbed Betrayus, yells at him as loud as she could.
"YOU NEGLIGENT FOOL! THE PRINCE! OUR PRINCE! YOU FORGOT HIM AND HE'S OUT IN PACOPOLIPS ALL BY HIMSELF! WHAT IF THE PAC BRAT FINDS HIM?!"
Betrayus realized what he had for gotten.
"O-Oh..."
"FIND HIM! I'LL FREEZE YOU FOR ETERNITY IF YOU ENTER THE NETHERWORLD AGAIN WITHOUT HIM!"
Echo let go of Betrayus. She smiled, and takes in a sweet voice.
"Now, do I make myself clear darling?"
Betrayus was still for a moment, before he dashed off as fast as he could. He had to find the prince as fast as he could.
