Page 10-19
1.
Okay, this is going to be a big fight scene so I don’t really care what exact panels show what exact punches, just follow this guideline.
2.
Pac-Man jumps up in the air to get a punch at DK’s head, but DK defends himself with his beefy arms, and Pac-Man gracefully jumps back down to the ground. Pac-Man charges himself up (like he did to turn Clyde blue) and them charges towards Donkey Kong. DK is startled, and this lets Pac-Man land that head-shot, which knocks Donkey Kong down. Pac-Man does his “Thank you, Thank you, it was nothing”, routine, but DK shakily gets up, still able to fight. Of course, Pac-Man doesn’t notice this, and so he doesn’t notice DK’s fist hit him in the back. This makes Pac-Man take a tumble, but he also gets up shakily. Now the two foes are facing one another, eyes locked, still ready for more. Then, Donkey Kong breaks eye-contact with Pac-Man and sees, in the distance, Kevin trying to get to higher ground with Max. Pac-Man doesn’t realize that DK has seen his friends and Donkey Kong smiles menacingly. Donkey Kong grabs a giant boulder and heaves it towards Kevin and Max. Pac-Man realizes too late what Donkey Kong is aiming at, and as he rushes towards his friends, Donkey Kong grabs him and makes him stay. Pac-Man is forced to watch as the giant rock crashes into where Kevin and Max are. But, just before the rock crashes, there’s an explosion of white light right where Kevin is standing. The distraught Pac-Man waits for the smoke to clear, but when it does, his jaw drops.
Page 20
Panel 1
1.
Full-page panel that shows what it is that made Pac-Man’s jaw drop: Kevin and Max, completely unharmed. More than that, but, surrounded by the clearing smoke, Kevin is holding his Wii-mote, which has made an enormous sword out of white light. Make this panel as epic as possible.
