Max
“What? You mean we were worrying about the end of the world for nothing?”
Kevin
“I guess so. Talk about anticlimactic.”

Page 16
Panel 1
1.
Max looks shocked. He’s hamming it up.
Max
“You mean you don’t remember? Oh, yes, that’s understandable. After all, the fiends that separated you from the generator were rather forceful. Their ham-fistedness must have shocked you to the point of memory-loss.”
Panel 2

Pac-Man and Kevin are whispering to one another.
Kevin
“What do you think? Should we stop him?”

“No, I think he has this well in hand.”
Panel 3

Max is a pro at this, and he weaves a story effortlessly to the Ghosts.
Max
“You see, you three were once heroes of this world. And after you failed to prevent an apocalyptic threat, you took on a herculean task. You all sealed yourselves in a giant, black generator, a generator that would slowly, but surely, heal this world from the damage that was inflicted; powered by your own life-forces. However, you were recently whisked away by evil villains, who wished to take the power of your life-forces for themselves. We stopped these fiends before they could do that, but you all were still released, and so we set out to find you and take you back to the generator.”

Kevin
“He’s good.”

“He is, he is.”
Panel 2

Blinky looks like a lost, little child. The other Ghosts look almost brain-dead.
Blinky
“So, if we go back to the generator, and seal ourselves within it, this world will heal? And we’ll get our memories back?”
Panel 3
3.
Max has kneeled down and put his hand on Blinky’s “shoulder”.
Max
“Yes, I guarantee it.”

Blinky is flying in the air on giant, red wings. He’s totally evil, and he’s gone Cruise Elroy! The other two ghosts just stare blankly, like there’s nothing behind those glazed eyes of theirs.
Cruise Elroy
“Ha! I can’t believe you actually fell for that! Of course, these idiots may have forgotten what happened, even that weakling Blinky may have forgotten. But not Cruise Elroy! Not even those centuries trapped in that box could wipe away my hatred for you, Pac-Man! My only reason for living is to see you destroyed!”
