"Ratings dropping... viewers getting bored..."
The words echoed through his head as he heard the creator speak about the game. MK still failed to see why he was supposed to be entertaining anyone but himself here. He had joined for one simple reason: to fight. So far he had had a very short encounter, but that didn't even end too well. Sure, he came out ahead in the little battle, but there was no death! That Murasaki character was around here somewhere still. With such a major injury, there human would have no chance of moving nearly as fast as the changeling.
Metal Koola pulled out his scouter. This thing would certainly come in handy. He put it on and pressed the power button. After charging up for a few seconds it made a few beeping sounds, then pointed in the direction of the nearest energy signal... it was right nearby. He turned to it and started running as fast as he could. Suddenly 5 more energy signals appeared around him, then 10, then the readout was covered in thousands of little dots.
"What the hell is wrong with this thing?" the changeling said out loud, obviously not expecting an answer from anyone.
The useless object started making a high pitched squeal before shaking violently and heating up. Moments later it let out a mechanical pop and smoke started pouring out of it. All of the information on the display disappeared, and it became obvious to the prince what had happened: it broke. That Karl Jak character sure loved playing little mind games with everyone. It was getting pretty annoying though. Closing his eyes, Metal Koola spun in a circle, stopped, and pointed. "I guess I'm going in that direction."
