Zaktan - Batted away

Zaktan glanced around, made sure no one was looking, and fired a blast of his laser vision at Prototype. To his shock, the beams just bounced off harmlessly. Prototype noticed the attack, though, for he turned to Zaktan and said, “Not nice.” Then he batted his attacker away.

“Stupid,” Prototype said, shaking his head. “Bright lights don’t bother me. Nothing bothers me.”

Vezok’s first instinct was to attack and try to knock Prototype out. Then he remembered the sight of the half-conscious Zaktan flying through the air. “You’re right,” Vezok said. “He is stupid. In fact, I think he’s a traitor to the Dark Hunters.”

“He is?”

“Yes,” Vezok answered. “You need to go tell the Shadowed One about this now. He’s in the training facility on the far side of the island.”

“But I thought he was inside?”

“Do you think the Shadowed One is going to stop and tell you every place he’s going?” Vezok asked harshly. “Now get going! If Zaktan hurts anyone because you didn’t give a warning, you know who will get blamed.”

It took Prototype a solid minute to realize the answer was him. Then he shrugged and lumbered away in search of the Shadowed One. With luck, Vezok thought, it will be a while before he remembers there is no training facility on the far side of the island.

By then, Zaktan had staggered back, looking for the massive guard. His rage only grew when he couldn’t find Prototype. “Where is he?” he seethed.
