Danny cried out in terror as his body twirled around from the force of that last blast, a part of his Hazmat outfit charred away. Pale skin healed easily, but the blow had caused him to loose focus.
Technus laughed at him, black sunglasses glinting in the sunlight, a wisp of his white hair falling in his face. Again, a thought flitted across danny's mind.
'he upgraded to a mullet?'
Emerald eyes flashed for a moment in annoyance as the spirit raised his hands, an ethereal glow striking forth into the multitude of technological devices littered about the mall. White-gloved hands clenched into fists as he leapt to the side, narrowly avoiding being struck in the head by an electronic dictionary/translator.
"Whoever said words can never hurt me obviously never met a dictionary"
Danny muttered as he shot through the air, charging his fists with ectoplasm, and drawing back one arm.
"Not so fast, ghost child!" Technus' voice rang out with a astounding amount of brightness, as the technology started forming into some bizarre canon-looking thing.
It whirred to life, firing a brilliant blue laser at danny.
He easily dodged the sapphire light, punching technus roughly in the jaw before darting back again, blocking another blue blast.
"You act like this is a game, ghost child…"
He smiled wickedly, and danny hesitated, not at all liking the maniac gleam in the ghost's eyes. "If that is so, perhaps we need to change the rules!"
Danny yelped in pain as one of the blue blasts finally connected with his black and white clad form. It enveloped him with the otherworldly glow, tightening around him.
Mouth open in a soundless scream, his form faded, shrinking down to a navy mist. Technus grinned joyfully, inserting a disk into one of his floating computers, and sending danny's mist right into the computer after it.
"There is no victory for you, child. Not in this game"
He leaned back, a chair forming out of random parts sucked from the toy store. His dark eyes glittered with amusement as he watched the blank moniter flicker to life, bright colors heralding the game's launch.
In yellow letters, the name flashed across the screen.
Pac-Man
