"Hooooaah!" A cry resounded across the abandoned quadrangle, sounding not unlike a stock voice clip from a 90s beat-em-up.
Every hair going pin-straight, Nameless whirled around, ghost senses on red alert. Behind them a disembodied stubbly head had materialised, quickly followed by a singular arm, the extent of which was completely uncovered by fabric and very well-muscled. "Who are you and what is the cause of your unrest!?" Nameless' hand sprang to the spool of thread in their pocket and the lighter in the other.
By the time the rest of Ice appeared, he was rubbing his eyes in bewilderment. "Were the coordinates off?" he exclaimed, glancing about. "This isn't Nameless' dimension!!"
Then his eyes narrowed on the bespectacled exorcist before him. "Or maybe...you thought I wouldn't recognise you in that getup! Is that you, Nameless?"
"Yes but—"
He puffed out his chest and thrust out his index finger in their direction. "Nameless! What an embarrassment you are!" he bellowed. "Did you think you could hide from me by taking the form of a nerd? For decades I have trained...bowed my head beneath waterfalls...spammed Down B...grinded for EXP...in preparation of this day! I hereby hire myself to bring you to your demise!"
Nameless backed away one step. "What are you, the ghost of obsolete game consoles?" Nameless flexed their fingers. "I'll have you know I know all the cheat codes, and I'm not afraid to use them!"
"No cheat code can save you…from this fist!"
Liquid Ice sprang. Clicking the lighter, Nameless began to draw a bright, burning seal in the air—
With the roar of wrath to rival that of one who has had to sit through the same cutscene for the 289th time, Ice burst through the flame…and did not melt.
Nameless' eyes widened with horror. No…they had drawn the sigil for the NES controller. Liquid Ice was not a Nintendo man!
"DIE!!"
"Nooooo! you've got the wrong person!" shrieked the wrong Nameless, as the fist connected with their head, knocking their soul clean out of their body.
