It was a dark and stormy night….but a certain Katherine Alice Applegate was still up writing an Animorphs book.

"ARGH!" she said angrily. "What's wrong with me?! There are so many typos! Not even word spell check is helping."

The paper started glowing and K.A. swore she heard I faint trace of laughter. It was either that or she was growing crazy.

She took the printed copy of her latest Animorph book with many typos and threw it in the garbage. Never to be seen again. Or so..it was thought.

2 days later…

In the nearby dumpster…

A man…a homeless man in his late 30's approaches the dumpster where the dreaded Typo-haunted paper of K.A. was found.

He reached in to grab it. "At last," he said evilly. "With this bunch of typos I will rule the world!"

This wasn't just any homeless man. Oh no…he was actually in disguise the last warlock in history. Marcus of Quincy.

He then chanted some words…and the papers of typos lit up in smoke…

"There," he said to himself. "I have granted you the evilness and cunning of some of the most evil demons ever. You have only the power to possess and even kill them if you wanted to. But soon you will grow…and then your powers will increase and you will take over the world. And I will become the supreme ruler of the cosmos!"

Marcus started to laugh evilly but something strange happened. The smoke then went into Marcus's body.

Marcus' pupils widened and his evil expression grew darker. In a deep evil voice. The voice of the typo-demon possessing Marcus.

"Oh, I will take over the universe. But first. Revenge!" said the Typo-demon. "And you can't control me!"

Then the typo-demon left Marcus' body. Dead. In the cold wet rain.

About 3 years later….

A boy nice little boy named bobby was on his computer at a friendly message board called Ani-news.

"Wow. Tyler. You're the best webmaster. You're so friendly," typed a boy named Bobby. "But I have to go now….see you tomorrow!"

He motioned to turn off his computer. But then it started to glow. Smoke started to come out of it…..

"FIRE!" Bobby said.

He went to go get help…but he inhaled the smoke.

"Bobby! Where's the fire? Are you okay?" asked Bobby's mother.

Silence.
"Bobby?! Are you alright?!" the mother asked again concerned.

Silence again.

The mother opened Bobby's door.

He was sitting at his chair, his back turned to his mother.

"Bobby?" she asked worriedly.

The chair turned around. His eyes flashed. His mouth curled into an evil grin. And a sinister voice said.

"Yes, mother I'm okay. You @$$h***!" said Bobby. "Don't call me Bobby! You stupid insolent buttmonkey. From now on….I am to be known as….Marcus Quincy jr.

And so…The Greatest Saga in Ani-news history began.
