Gourmet looked up nervously from the ground. Whatever was going on, he had no intention of being part of it. He looked up just in time to see Amanuma point the Nintendo zapper at him.

"What are you doing brat? This isn't funny!"

Amanuma giggled. "Quiet Makihara! I know exactly what to turn you into!"

Gourmet scrambled to his feet and tried to run away but Amanuma fired on him. The large human was encased in an orb of bright light.

Amanuma concentrated his thoughts and spirit energy into the blast. This was going to be fun.

Amanuma snapped his fingers and there was an explosion of light. Where Gourmet had stood was…

Pac man?

(2)

Pac man stood where Gourmet had been. Amanuma just looked at the figure for awhile. Then he doubled over on the ground laughing. He was laughing so hard that he began pounding his fists on the ground and tears eventually started leaking out of the young psychic's eyes. Oh revenge was sweet indeed. Who next? Itsuki or Sniper? Who? Or better yet, Sensui!

"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ME?!!" Gourmet screamed. "WHAT IN THE NAME OF KAMI DID YOU DO TO ME?!!!"

"I transformed you into Pac man! What do you think I did?!" Amanuma said in between his chuckling fit.

Gourmet screamed in rage. This could not be happening! He had mentally sworn to himself that if he ever got back to normal he would teach Amanuma a lesson he would never forget. This was humiliating!

Wait a minute. If he was Pac man, then he could…

"Now that I've transformed you, what can I do with you? I-"

Amanuma's speech turned into a horrified scream as Gourmet/Pac man charged towards him, snapping his mouth open and closed. Amanuma realized what was going to happen and fled back into the cave, Gourmet snapping at his heels. As he ran down the corridors of the cave, he could have sworn that he saw a trail of white dots in front of him. As he looked back, he saw Gourmet was consuming the dots as he pursued him.

"Did I recreate the game when I transformed him?! This wasn't supposed to happen!" Amanuma thought to himself.

"You aren't getting away from me you little shit! Once I get you I'm going to gobble you whole!"

Amanuma ran faster, and just as he rounded a corridor, he saw a pellet that was larger then the others. Much larger.

"A power pellet." Amanuma groaned. Gourmet consumed it and suddenly Amanuma's body turned blue.

"Now I've got you!" Gourmet thundered. He charged after Amanuma.

"Maybe if I recreated the pellets, I can run up the walls like in the maze!" the boy thought.

He dashed towards the wall.

It defied all logic, but it happened. Amanuma actually felt his feet stick to the wall as he ran up it. Gourmet quickly gave chase and pursued him. Amanuma ran further and found he could do this with the ceiling too. He knew if Gourmet caught him after he had eaten a power pellet, he would be done for. He dashed across the ceiling, all the while following the trail of white dots which were being consumed by Gourmet.

"Slow down and let me eat you damn it!" Gourmet snarled. Amanuma knew it was time to end the game and spun around. Like a gunslinger in a western movie, he drew the zapper in one easy motion and fired. Gourmet was enveloped in a blast of white light. There was a thump as Gourmet turned back to normal and fell to the ground.

"Phew. That was close." Amanuma muttered. He began to relax and then realized that the territory had been called off and he was still on the ceiling! He fell to the ground with a thud. The Gamemaster banged his head on the rock floor with much force, bringing tears to his eyes.

"Ouch!" Amanuma yelped. He rubbed the back of his head. Well that had been fun, if dangerous. His body was no longer blue, thankfully.

"Who next?" Amanuma said to nobody in particular. As quickly as he had spoke, an idea came to him. Sensui would kill him for this, but it was worth it.

He went down the corridors of the cave to find Itsuki.

To be continued…

Itsuki's in trouble! I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY NEED SOME IDEAS OF WHAT ITSUKI SHOULD BE TURNED INTO!!!! POST SOME!!!!
