"so what should we do next?" I asked. "well, we've been all over the city. We should wait for a few hours. At 7 the fireworks will begin and Pacman will give a speech." Con suggested. "wait, Pacman will be there!? wow." Boomer was dumbfounded. Pacman defeated tons of evil trying to invade our land, and was the role model of a lot of people. "the whole city will be there." I said. "We'd better go soon. "the sombrero club is only a block away. we can get some blankets there." Sweets said. We were greeted there by Brian. "are you guys going to the show tonight?"
"who isn't!?" said Glubby. "we need some sheets and blankets. Got any?" I asked. "also maybe some snacks." added Boomer.
"yeah. Just give me a sec. We went inside, where he got everything we needed out of a hole in the wall that looked like a sombrero.
The show was in a large field, with a stage at the front, like always. We came early, hoping for a good spot, but everyone in town seemed to have the same idea as us. We set up about 20 feet from the stage, and waited for the show to start.
the fireworks show was amazing. All the colors in the sky... At the end, everyone clapped, but fell silent when pacman came on stage. He began giving a speech. "hello everyone." he said. cheering ensued. "You probably know who I am. I was a great hero a long time ago. I fended off evil, and saved the MBs. But you don't have to be a high rank or be popular to be a hero. ANYONE can be one if you're dedicated."
I tapped Con on the shoulder. "wouldn't it be awesome to be heros?"
"yeah!" he said. "Pacman makes it sound easy."
Pacman continued. "with enough courage anddedication, anyone can be a hero. And I mean anyone! does anybody have questions?" somebody I didn't know piped up. "what was Benboy like?"
"oh, he was great! such bravery! I mean he..." before Pacman could finish, a person in a grey cloak ran onto the stage. "you know who I am, don't you?" he taunted. the man addressed the crowd. "Good people! This supposed 'hero' has lied to you!" what!? Pacman lied to us!? I couldn't belive it! "and now, I will prove his weakness!" The hooded figure took a small lever out of his cloak. "No, don't do it. Please." Pacman begged. But it was too late. he pulled the lever.
I can't believe I had the same awful signature for nearly 8 years. Sorry for disappearing for 2 months, life happened for a bit.
The sky turned grey. The clouds started circling around a purple portal. Lightning flashed. Seriously?! How cliched can one day get?
"why did you do it Skul?" Pacman asked. "you know why." The person named Skul replied, before disappearing in smoke. How did he do that? I wasn't able to think much about it, because of the pandemonium that ensued. Weird things came out of that cloud. They looked like people, except they were a crazy mix of strange things, from things that looked like astronauts in different colored suits to zombies to soldiers. Most people were running away screaming, but we ran up on the stage. "what are those things? Brian asked Pacman.
"Blockers, as they used to be called." was the breathless reply. "they attacked us a long time ago, but we drove them to the otherworld. We need to get out of here!"
We were all shocked. How could Pacman, the bravest person of all time, be scared? "they have become too powerful. you must save as many people as possible, and get out of here!"
I saw some people I knew in the street. Shamrock* was one of them. An astronaut thing on a hover board swooped down to grab him, but Con whipped out his bow and with an expert shot took it down. "you can thank my later." He said. "these people need our help."
