Lord Karnage pointed to Luke and Present, "The core you'll be looking for is the magic El Camino, I'll go with the blonde to the Disco Ball of Power, and G.I. Joe will go to the... Third core. Now split up!"
Lord Karnage and Jack immediately turned around and made their way toward a door. The door automatically slid open and revealed a hallway. The two started walking. Lord Karnage stopped.
"What's up?" Jack asked.
Lord Karnage answered, "You need a weapon."
He turned and entered the classic game room again. He returned with a WII controller that had a wire trailing from the bottom to a battery pack.
"Clip this onto your belt." He said." And only use it when we need it!"
Jack asked, "Where is the Disco Ball of Power anyway?"
Lord Karnage turned and started walking, "It's in the second classic game room, the one that holds all the consoles. The one we just left held just the arcade cabinets."
Jack nodded, clipped the battery pack to his jeans, and followed Lord Karnage.
~~~~~~~~~~
Jack and Lord Karnage were running down a hallway before they heard a loud BOOM!
"What was that?!" Lord Karnage asked.
Jack replied, "12 gauge shotgun. Connor must've encountered a Xenomorph! I sure hope he's alright."
"Me two. He's the only one going for the... Third core."
"What is the third core?"
"..."
Jack repeated himself, "What is the third core? Did you put Connor in danger?!"
Lord Karnage turned his head to Jack, "It's a handheld video game console. One more destructive then the HyperScan."
He paused.
"I sent him out to find the Game.Com."
Jack thought a bit, then replied, "If what Luke told me is true, then if Connor makes it to the Game.Com, he has nothing in his way."
~~~~~~~~~~
A door slowly opened, and the massive room it led to illuminated. There were shelves and tables and glass cabinets all around where you looked. They were filled with video games and consoles from the 1970s, 1980s, modern era, and some not even made yet. And there in the centre of it all, hanging from the ceiling, was a silver orb, lights shining off of its surface in every direction.
"It looks pretty safe." Said jack.
"I wouldn't say that just yet." Lord Karnage said.
There was the sound of scurrying along the floor. Then there was a loud BANG. The hold for the Disco Ball of Power exploded into million of pieces. The Disco Ball of Power fell to the ground with a loud crash, and shattered, revealing a glass orb, about the size of your hand, with a small black dot at the centre. The black dot was so small, it could easily have been overlooked by the untrained eye.
Behind a table was the shuffling sound again. Lord Karnage activated his Sega Light Phaser and clenched the power glove into a fist. The scurrying quickly changed to footsteps. The owner of the footsteps stood up, and walked to the pile of broken mirrors. He grabbed the glass orb and pulled it out of the shards of the Disco Ball of Power. He examined the orb carefully, then shoved it into the inner pocket of his bubble best. He turned his head towards Jack and Lord Karnage and put on a tyrannous smile. Two Xenomorphs ran to his sides. He aimed his gun at Jack and Lord Karnage with his right hand and stuck up his favourite finger with his left.
It was the inverted Luke.
"Surprise!"
