"Betrayal!"

Wildwing stopped as he walked by his and Nosedive's room. Betrayal? What in the name of hockey is he yelling about?

"Stupid game betrayed me!" From inside the room, Wildwing could hear something that sounded like a 'thump' noise, like Nosedive either hitting his head against something or hitting the desk. Hitting a key on the keypad next to the door, Wildwing let the doors open and he walked in.

What he saw only half-surprised him.

Nosedive had recently gotten a new computer game in a series that Thrash and Mookie recommended when he walked into their store once to pick up some comics. He had played most of the games that he had gotten, and was on the newest one that he had bought the last time he went to the comic shop. So currently, the teenager was at the desktop computer that Tanya finally got for him (she had gotten sick of finding open games of Alien Invaders and the like on Drake One), surrounded by empty junk food containers, looking angrily at the screen.

Wildwing could barely resist the urge to laugh. Should I even bother…?

So he did.

"What's going on Dive?"

The teenager growled. "This game suuuuucks!" Nosedive looked up at the team leader, a disgusted look on his face. "The guys who did this…this…whatever you wanna call it, completely screwed up!"

Wildwing was still confused. "Why, what's wrong? Are there glitches in the system?"

"Yes and no," Nosedive answered, facing the computer screen again. "The computer is fine, it's all the game. A bunch of stuff isn't finished and there are tons of game glitches like falling through the floor of a dungeon and stuff like that. Then there's the plot. OH DRAKE, the plot!"

Wildwing snickered. "That bad?"

"YES!" Nosedive exclaimed. "Even the stupid villain is annoying! All he does most of the game has him saying the same few lines and I have to keep hearing it!"

Sounds like most of our days listening to Nosedive when it comes to games and anything of anyone his age, Wildwing thought. "Anything else?"

"I can't tell anything apart and none of the enemies change!"

"…seriously?"

"All I ever run into are ghosts, zombies, and a couple of other evil guys. More than half the world is just…gray…and lastly, the STUPID EXPLODING TREASURE CHESTS!"

Wildwing studied Nosedive. "…can I try?"

A Few Hours Later…

"PUCK!"

"You just got onto that platform Wing! Try again!"

"I am! That stupid thing made me explode for something weird!"


For anyone who recognizes any of this, a cookie for you!

If not, then I'll share anyway; I got the idea from the Spoony Experiment after watching the Ultima reviews that Spoony has put up. Since Ultima 8: Pagan came out in 1994, it seemed to fit around the time of when the Ducks got to Earth in 1996 (since that's when the show takes place anyway)

So a short drabble that goes here
