Fortitude's arm began to disintegrate into pixels. Panicking, he tried pulling himself back together. His body had entirely pixelated by now. For a second, he couldnt move. Feeling himself re-pixilate, he looked around. Fortitude's face fell when he realized where he was. It was Pac-Man, but in real life. "WELCOME! TO THE GRAND GAMES!" A megaphone blared, causing Robbie to quickly turn around, seeing a great tower materialize in the corner of the building. Hearing another noise, he turned around, noticing other people on the floor. Fortitude helped calm the people down. "Guys I'll figure out a way to get us all out safety." He promised. A girl with black hair and a crop top tried kissing him for "good luck". Holding her at arms length, he shook her hand instead. By now, the people seemed a bit more settled. Gaming Master laughed. "Dont bother trying to escape. Its pointless." Just then, the doors started shutting down. Fortitude sped over, holding up a door. A surge of electricity zapped throughout his body. Flying backwards, Fotitude coughed as he dusted himself off. The door slammed down, just as he got back up. Gaming Master laughts. The man clicked his tongue. "Not at all. You will never leave here! This is inside my mind. This is MY playground. Unless of course, you finish the maze alive." He said gesturing to the materializing maze. The man cackled manianically. When this was over, Robbie was gonna make sure he spent a long time in the Airlock (America's superhuman prison) Entering the Maze, he looked behind him to see the rest entering. He didn't need any distractions. Besides, the rules stated that he couldn't use his powers, so if they did join, he couldn't save them. "You stay outside. I'll handle this." Fortitude ran into the maze at normal speed, touching the first three pellets. The pellets let off a ringing sound as he collected them. Wincing he heard a distant rumbling. Using his super eyesight (technically not a power), he looked into the distance, seeing a giant yellow ball of death rolling towards him at a high speed. Robbie jumped behind a board, seeking cover. After it passed by, Robbie slipped out, grabbing a few more pellets. Again, the pinging noise sounded. As the ball came rumbling, Robbie began running. On the last second, when he was nearing a two way turn, he jumped over to the left on the last second causing the ball to hit into the wall. Running through the map, Robbie grabbed more pellets, causing the ball to come after him. The ball was coming, and fast. Jumping on a wall, Robbie propelled himself farther, just on the nick of time, right before the ball bit after him. Rolling on the floor, he collected a few more pellets, almost finishing the game. Suddenly two other balls cornered him. Robbie had nowhere to run now. Just then, he heard a couple of pings, pings made by the pellets. Looking over for the source of the noise, the ghosts turned around. A blond haired girl was running and jumping on walls, collecting pellets as she went by. She was moving like a ballerina, with a lot more awesomeness. The girl was bobbing and weaving through the maze. Robbie ran over to the girl helping her to collect pellets. "Thanks for the help." he said. A scream of rage was heard as Robbie ducked, dodging the impending fireball that was fired at him. "I don't think this is in the game!" Robbie said to the girl, who was falling behind. The girl had been falling behind because of his speed. Robbie turned back sweeping the girl off her feet, running through the maze. Collecting the last, pellet, Robbie jumped out of the exit, as the game slowly vanished. Looking up at the tower, he saw the Gaming Master fuming. "Hey, you cheat!" Robbie called out. "Pac-Man does not have fireballs." Gaming Master growled, anger evident in his eyes. "Well you don't have teammates in Pac-Man." The man began angrily typing away on his laptop, causing Robbie to look around hearing a ping. A hologram-like object appeared infront of him, with next game to pick. Only three games were there. The first one was star wars, the second, was Call of Duty. There was NO way that he was choosing that. The third one was the floor is lava. Out of all three, Robbie decided. The floor is lava was the least harmfull. At least it wasn't real lava. Right? Robbie clicked the third option. Everyone else did the same. Robbie braced himself ready for the next challenge. The place started to transform into a broad flat surface with little lines of flaming orange. Robbie looked up at the man who was busy clacking away at a keyboard. Robbie then turned his attention back to the floor. The ground started to erupt into huge mountains and hills. The ground was still clear and lava could only be seen through the cracks. Four blue square appeared on the ground. Everyone stood cautiously on their squares, waiting to see what would happen. Fortitude x-rayed the ground, looking for weapons or bombs. Finding none, he got ready to play. The man in the tower was smiling evilly. Clicking a button, Gaming Master back his arm, leaning back and grinning. "Let The Games....Begin! Robbie saw the lava starting out of one of the cracks. The man watched them with great interest. Robbie climbing up the highest mountain, helping the others to go up before him. Lava was rapidly pouring out of the cracks in the ground. The girl that had tried to kiss him earlier, was at the top, afraid to go any higher. Fortitude grumbled internally. Now was not the time to get hang ups about fear of height. "Hey, whats going on up there?"He asked. Everyone started arguing. The lava was slowly rising. Now was really not the time for this. "Hey! The lava is getting closer!" Robbie exclaimed. After hearing that the lava was rising, the girl took one look down below, and began scrambling up the rock. The rest hurriedly followed. The lava rose up, right under his  bottom. He could feel the immense heat. Scrambling up the mountain, the mountain started to rumble. Rocks fell from the tops, trying to hit them. "Everyone, hang tight!" Fortitude shouted. As they each hugged on to their area of the mountain, hanging on for dear life.
