Hey guys, nice to see you reading my story. This is my own version of Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures but humanized with some differences here and there. It won't be completely accurate to the Ghostly Adventures canon which means it's its own thing. Of course, the fact that everyone is human now probably tipped that off. Now, some people may be out of character which I think is okay since this is its own thing, and if that turned you off then don't worry the important character traits are still there like how Pacster eats a lot and is obsessed with ghosts and how Skeebo is a huge douche nozzle. My only warning as of now is that the story will be pretty long and I'm not competely sure if I can finish it but I'll do my damnedest.

Anyway I hope you all enjoy and don't forget to review!

"Now, 55 years ago Lord Betrayus started his noble rebellion against the tyranny of the Pac-United Nations in an event known as Pac-World War I. His rebellion lasted for only eight months before he was forced to retreat in the caves under the stony mountains were he and the remnants of his army regrouped. During the period they say a miraculous discovery was made right here in this city, but as someone who lived here in that period I can tell you that this is just "resistantce" propaganda. The only discovery made was the dreadful fact that blondes could gain powers from eating fruit from the tree of life, so Lord Betrayus, being the benevolent man that he is, decided that tree had to be wiped out for the safety and security for the new world order he wanted to bring onto this world. It's unfortunate that innocent lives had to be lost but be assured it was done all in the name of the greater good. Now, if you want more details then turn to page 72 of your textbooks and before you ask, YES, this will be on the exam. "

It was another boring pre-modern history class at Maze High School and the majority of students were waiting for the bell to ring. One of these patient students was a boy wearing a striped yellow and white shirt with blue jean shorts and red shoes with white socks. He had bright orange hair and blue eyes, and this boy is also the protagonist of this story. His name is Pacster Bak and this boy didn't like history class. In fact, as Mr. Rolly was giving his lecture Pacster was reading a book about ghosts that he secretly hid inside his Modern History textbook. Most considered ghosts not real and the belief in them outdated but our young hero knew better. While he had no personal experiences with ghosts he could feel that in his heart they were real, and according to his research they actually are! They're just in a place called the nether realm, another dimension believed to be physically located inside Pac-World and that the door to this nether realm was hidden away somewhere in the world. Of course, when Pacster wrote a report on this nether realm for social studies he was laughed out of the classroom and had his lunch period revoked but hey, everyone found it more interesting than what was currently being discussed.

Pacster's class was listening to a lecture about Lord Betrayus' role in the Pac-World Wars. Lord Betrayus was the current and 1st ruler of the world and the story of how he came to power was required to be listened to in all grades, but many teens were told this story when they were young so as you can imagine hearing it over and over bored them. The orangehead was no exception as he believed Betrayus to be a bad man who did many bad things to get into power. Of course, if he were to voice this opinion he would be taken away to either prison or a re-education camp where he would "relearn" everything. From what Pacster heard it's a lot like physical beatings + history class which didn't sound fun or educational but this could always be made up so you don't want to end up in there but if re-education camps were really like that then he'd take being in prison for life over that anyday! So he kept his true feelings about the society he lived in a secret so nothing bad could happen to him. All he needed to do was just listen to the lecture and survive class.

"Skeebo Heebo! Don't you dare think I didn't see your text to your girlfriend, you know the staff of this highschool can see when and where you text and to who you text to and what is in the text. You know, because the school surveillance system sends us alerts. Did you forget your EyePhones are autmoatically, irreversibly connect to our computers?" The teacher was once again angered over one of the most popular guys in school, the jock sitting exactly in the middle of the class, Skeebo. He had deep blue slick backed hair and wore the school's blue, white and yellow ock jacket only those in the football team wore to show who they are and blue jeans. Skeebo Heebo was the most popular kid in school, star of the football, basketball, and soccer teams, and was also a huge bully to Pacster. As the most popular guy, others went along with him when he was being a bully so Pacster didn't have many friends. It was odd, as the jock was a nice and great guy to everyone but for some reason he seemed to hold a grudge against Bak. He just smirked at his teacher as he heled up his EyePhone. "Geez teach, I thought it would be a good idea to tell Cyli about how boring this class is. I mean, get real. Everyone knows this story, everyone knows how the past impacts the future, and everyone who's anyone would score an easy A." Everyone around Skeebo laughed but the girl two seats from his right ust blushed. She was Cylindria Starseed. She had black hair with pink highlights with big red glasses that complimented her hot pink and black striped t-shirt under supsender skirt and had striped hot pink and black thigh highs with combat boots. Cylindria is Skeebo's girlfriend and is also popular only because she's with Skeebo as she was a total nobody before they started dating. Even though her boyfriend is a total bully she wasn't a bully herself in fact whenever Skeebo tried to start something with Pac in front of her she always got him to stop which only worked half of the time. Other than those times she never spoke with him which was for the best, as talking with Pac in a friendly way was enough to get you bullied and ostracized. "Skeeb, our teacher is right. Class is almost over so let's just can talk then." Cylindria smiled at him causing her boyfriend to smile too. "I guess that makes sense. Sorry teach." Skeebo apologied. Most kids along with the teacher in the room felt their hearts melt at this scene. Pacster just rolled his eyes and went back to secretlyreading his book.

Unkown to him however the teacher saw the book inside the book. He found out on his own when big calloused hands grabbed his book and lifted it away. "Again with this? Mr. Bak you know better than to read young adult fiction during class." With that most kids in the class began to laugh. At this point almost everyone in school knew about Pacster's belief in ghosts and how he would either try to read one of his books instead of the school's or go on about their secret history if asked. Well, he wouldn't do the latter anymore but he still tried to read his books so he wouldn't have to focus on classes he found very boring. Thankfully for him, the bell started to ring before the teacher could say more.

Grabbing the book from the teacher's grasp, our protagonist ran out into the halls with a red face. He was majorly embarrassed and not in a good way as once again he was caught reading his ghost books. This just gave Skeebo and the others more ammo to make fun of him with. "How can I be so stupid? I should have hid it better!" He shouted as he sped past his peers and some teachers. You aren't supposed to run in the halls in school but Pac never cared about that rule. Neither did his best friend Spiral Worthington, who he saw walk out of his math class. Spiral was in the same grade as Pacster but a year older. He had dark blue and light blue dreads with purple eyes to match, a red tank top and blue jeans with matching red shoes. Spiral was a laid back guy who was cool with everyone and everythign as long as he didn't find a person or act or place morally repulsive. He met Pac in middle school and ever since they've been the best of friends, even giving up most of his friends to defend Pac. Coincidently, they were also shared a room in the dorms. "Hey Pacster! How was class? Mr. Rotund go on about that war again?" The taller boy smiled. Rotund was infamous for only teaching about the Pac-World wars and the rise of Betrayus. "Oh you know it. He even tried to take my book away, what a jerk." The orange haired boy then lifted up the book he successfully saved earning a glare from some students. "Oh no he tried to take your books again? That's no good. Not at all. At least you don't have to worry about him for a day now. The teachers here sure are the worst." Pacster and Spiral started to walk to their next period which was coincidently Pacster's favourite: lunch.

"Yeah I don't know why my aunt had to send me here. Makes me wish that homeschooling was legal. I bet my aunt would be a much better teacher than Rotund and Strictler. Only good teacher in this school is Mr. Dome and I don't even care for gym class, and I guess Miss Globular can be nice. It's like most of the teachers are only here so they can earn a paycheck instead of teach kids, it's messed up. Don't you think so too, Spiral?" Spiral nodded as they approached the cafeteria. They passed everyone currently in line as the bell rang to signify the begining of the period. "Boy, the lunch ladies sure did outdo themselves today!" Pacster said as he grabbed his tray. People behind them were glaring since they cut but they didn't notice and even if they did they probably wouldn't care. Food is Pacster Bak's second hobby. He could eat an entire foodbank and he would still be hungry. In fact, there has been times where he consumed all the food in the cafeteria making his peers angry and upset. Funnily enough he never put on any weight from all the food he eats since he's at average weight for his age. Today the orange haired teen felt simple so he grabbed a cheeseburger hoagie with some strawberry milk while Spiral picked up a peanut butter and jelly sandwich with some water. "I can't believe some schools ban PB&Js just because a few kids are allergic!" Exclaimed Pac. "Well Pacster, if some kids come into contact with Peanut Butter it'll make them really sick and they might even have to go to the emergancy room. You should really be considerate of others and be thankful our school is one of the few that still as food with peanut butter." Scolded Spiral. "Mabye you're right, but you know that could change any minute especially if we get a foreign exchange student. What if they're allergic?" "Well we'l just deal with it it's not like we can't go to a store and buy bread, jelly, and peanut butter." Pacster just frowned and nodded. They didn't have to pay since lunch money is part of the school's tuition so they walked to their regular table next to the fire exit door.

"I really don't want to go to math class, I'm not good at algerbra at all and I think there's a test. Why can't we just watch movies instead?" Moaned Pac as he took a bite. He really didn't lile math in fact it was his worst subject. It's a miracle he even made it up to the grade he's in. "I can let you copy off my work if want, it would suck if you had to repeat the grade while I move on and they'd probably give you a roomie that's in your grade since bunking up with someone aboove or below a grade is against the rules for some reason. It's the least I could do." Although the older boy really didn't like cheating he didn't want his friend to be stuck in school forever. "Hey Pac, how was history?" The boys turned to see their friend Sherry Strictler join them. Sherry wore pink hair in a ponytail and wore green jeans and a white long sleeved button up shirt. Her most obvious feature was her braces, and because of that everyone just called her braces. She was a loser like Pacster because of them and made fun of a lot. However, despite all that she had a cheery personality. "Same as usual, braces. Rotund was beaing himself so it was just an average history class. Oh, you probably already figured it out but he's gonna talk about Betrayus' rise to power. Again." The teen said as he looked into his friend's green eyes. Sherry had pre-modern history after lunch and wanted to know what to expect. "Well at least it's something I know, I guess." Sherry wasn't that hungry so she just had a small bag of chips. "You know if you think about it," began Spiral, "You don't need to know all this math. All you really need to survive in the real world is addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and fractions. Maybe percentages and mesurements. You don't need stuff like trig so why even force it on us? It makes zero sense!" The tall teen lifted his hands in the air for emphasis. Pacster nodded as finished his hoagie as it didn't make sense to him either. "Well Spiral there are others in this school who want to become scientists and to be one you need to know a lot of difficult math among other things. Most modern scientific discoveries didn't come about because the discoverers knew that one plus one is two, but because they made their own formulas and calculations. They were also able to test those to see if they were accurate or not. I don't think you should knock down advanced math because you don't want to put in the effort to understand it." Braces rolled her eyes, her friends could be really ignorant of the world around them sometimes. Math test or no they should really put more effort into understanding their ciricullum.

"NEEEEEEEEEEEEERD!" Shouted a trio of jocks as they walked past our heroes' table. Pacster and Spiral glared at them but held their tongues knowing that Braces was used to this treatment. She smiled an understanding smile at them as while she hated being picked on she also hated unnessary drama which retailiatiing at them would have caused. It was unusual since the guys could be hot heads but it seems like they're heads were cool today. "A-anyway I see your point, Sher. Even though I don't like math I can appreciate what it's brought us" "Thanks, I wasn't sure if I got to you or not." The rest of lunch continuned in silence until the bell rang. When it did, everyone dumped their trays and went to their next classess

"Well, I'm sure this day can't get any worse."

the pac is back

Not too far away from Maze High, an elderly man wearing a white coat was sitting in his chair in a chair in a pristine science lab the size of a garage observing a screen. If his calculations were correct, acting now could start their revolution and make the world right. Make it even better before the world was taken over if possible. The man had been watching Maze High. Watching Pacster Bak. To the uninitiated it may seem like he was a creeper but he watched this boy with his own reasons. He knew who the teen really was and what he was capable of which meant this Pacster boy could be the one to save the world. However he did have his doubts about the boy and knew if he acted too early the world's fate would be sealed. The real problem was that this was now or never as the scientist knew that there would be no going back once Betrayus set his new plans in motion. Sighing, the scientist lifted his cup of yellow coffee and took a sip.

"Sir Cumference, are you absolutely sure you want to go through with this now?" Another adult man stepped out of the shadows and approached the old man, AKA Sir Cumference. Both males had a stern look on their faces. "I'm honestly not sure." Sir Cumference shrugged. He put his coffee down. "We both know Betrayus is looking for the portal and we know that with his intelligence systems it's only a matter of time before it's found. I'm not gonna like forcing this stuff on the boy but we're at the point where we have no choice but to act as soon as we can. Do you think you can get the boy later?" The younger man smiled. He turned around and said, "I'll bring John and Smith with me just in case things go south. You can't really be too sure about things these days after all. Should we contact Spheria?" The scientist/doctored hummed. Looking in to the now blank screen he stayed quiet for a few minutes. "Well that's a given that she should know. He is her nephew, after all. Besides she knew this day would come so she'll be happy for him. Now if only his parents were here, Stratos. They'd probably try to keep him out of this and they'd be right to. They have his powers, well I guess that should be said the other way around. He has their powers. Is that better?" Stratos nodded and smiled. "They'd be reluctent but I'm sure that they would eventually approve. I mean they had him in this bunker after all." Stratos walked out of the room thinking about Pac's parents.

"The day Betrayus got Zach and Sunny was probably the worst day for the Resistance. For everyone" It looked like it was going to rain as he looked at the monitor. How fitting for his current mood.

the pac is back

Pac was lying on his bed. It was the lower part of a bunk bed he shared with Spiral in their dorm room. It was a medium sized room with ocean blue carpet and paper white walls. In the middle was a metal table with two chairs, this was usually used for eating and the north was the bunk bed up against the window, and next to that was a televion with some game consoles both old and new with a coffee table that had a plant on it. To the south end there was the door, and 2 closets made out of rosewood. Obviously they contained Pac and Spiral's clothes. The west end had a door that led to their bathroom and to the east was a pantry and mini fridge. All in all both teens were satisfied with their room but that's not what we're supposed to be talking about here. Anyway Pac was on his bed, staring at a photo he held in his hands. In the photo, there were 3 people. A man, woman, and a baby. To be precise the two adults were Pacster's mother and father and the baby was him. The woman had blonde hair and blue eyes and was laying in a hospital bed in a green hospital gown while the father who also had blonde hair but green eyes was wearing a brown suit and red tie was holding the newborn in a white blanket. They all looked so happy. You see, Pac's parents had dissappeared shortly after the picture was taken and no one could find them. Some said their dissappearence had to do with the anti-blonde laws passed at the same time Pacster was born but no one truly knows the truth. All he knew is that his parents are missing and that everyone had given up on them even his aunt, who is his mother's sister. But our young hero knew in his heart of hearts that his parents were still alive out there. Sighing, Pacster put the picture down and groaned. "It's not fair. Everyone else has parents that love them and try to be there for them no matter what, why did mom and dad have to go away? Even Skeebo has parents like that, so what did I do wrong?" He hid his face inside his pillow.

"Hey Pacster, you look down. Don't tell me you're obsessing over your parents again? It's not healthy. Besides, it's not like they'll pop out of whatever hole they've been hiding in for most of your life". Spiral stopped as he opened up the room door. The older boy just realized he said something insensitive. Pacster responded with another groan and turned away. There was now an awkward silence that lasted for a few minutes. During this silence, Spiral took off his shoes and sat at the table regretting what he said. "Sorry man, since I've had my parents my whole life I can't really put myself in your shoes. Didn't mean to hurt you emotionally like that."

You see, all of Pacster's classmates had their parents. Every single one of them which made him the odd one out and a target for bullying. Having lived with only his aunt the other kids thought that was the most hiarious thing ever in kindergarden and the first few years of his schooling. Thankfully it died down but it does get mentioned once in a blue moon, so Spiral should be thankful Pac didn't break off their friendship for that one. "It's fine Spiral I know this won't solve anything. Sometimes I just think about what could have beeen like if I would be a different person had they been in my life or if having them would make me popular. " It was nice to think about what could've been. However, the taller teen just remembered an important thing he wanted to tell his roomie. "Oh, so I was thinking that we could go venture out into the maze tonight. We've been talking about it a lot lately and apparently there's been a few ghost sightings there. Don't worry I've made sure that those weren't rumors made by Skeeb the dweeb to lure you out. These are real, genuine ghost sightings by people who don't even believe in ghosts although I'm pretty sure most people don't believe in 'em. So, you game?" That seemed to ease the mood a little ince Pac grew a smile and looked at him. Words did not needed to be said, as the tall teen understood what that face meant. As long as Pacsrer had his ghosts, he didn't need to angst over his mom and dad.

Maze 256 is the largest natrual hedge maze on the planet. It was left mostly untouched for the simple fact that helicopters flew over it and found nothing of interest and because the school felt that it was iconic enough to attract tourists and potential students. By untouched, I mean that there were no guards patrolling it and there were no groundskeepers trimming it. The Maze was one of the wonders of the world and was the largest natrual mazes on Pac-World in fact Maze Highschool was built right next to it which is where the school got its name. Only teachers of Maze High had the keys to open it but that didn't stop students from sneaking in anyway by lockpicking or simply going through entry points in the fields. The latter was the most popular method and the method that Spiral was planning to use since it would be easier and guilt-free.

"We'll pack some things up in case we get lost, like a first aid kit, three water bottles, two flashlights, two bags of chips, a blanket, oh and make sure to put on your hiking boots. Lets see here... I think that should be everything, the night is supposed to be clear so we have no fears about the rain. Let's get going, Pacster!

In case you were wondering the pac is back means the scene has changed.
