Fogerty turned green and breathed heavy gusts which made Theo stagger back.

“Stop resisting!” Fogerty cried.

Theo struck the capstan with:

~ a squiggly line.

~ a triangle.

Fogerty changed to blue.

The voltage shot tiny blobs everywhere, and they smoked rapidly before disappearing. Fogerty roared and shrank until only his eyes and mouth remained.

“Leave me alone,” Theo said, standing over the blob.

“You may have defeated me, but you will still die, plush-bucket.”

Fogerty’s mouth and eyes slid into a nearby stream, and the current carried him away.

“That was easy,” Theo said. He ran to the door and used the suit to karate chop the capstan that blocked the doorway. Then he jumped out of the suit and ran upstairs.

“I wasted too much time,” Theo said. He ran to the door and used the suit to karate chop the capstan that blocked the doorway. Then he jumped out of the suit and ran upstairs.
