Well. I'm still having fun writing. I'm going for a new personal posting record. Four in one day. Any way…I have a plot now and am going to start introducing new characters. -cheering and screaming- thank you my ever so loyal fellow fans of Okage.

Okage is not mine. (I've said it three times in this story alone as well as other stories so I think you get the point. Not to mention this is a FAN site. For FAN stuff. Yes I do know I'm stating the obvious.) Enjoy the story.

Previously: "If any one needs me I'll be in Tenel Forest." said Olivia feeling quite proud of herself. (de ja vu)

There came a sort of Swooshing noise five minutes later.

"What is that sound?" asked Stan confused.

"The shower. Olivia probably went to take a shower." Ari answered.

"I don't get it. Didn't the twerp say she was going to Tenel Forest?"

"That's my Olivia. Always sidetracked. Chances are she passed a mirror and decided to wash up."

And that was exactly what happened. Olivia went to her room to grab her sword and noticed how worn she looked. She reddened a the thought of Rosalyn and Stan seeing her that way.

Olivia let the warm water cleanse her. What had I been thinking, she asked herself. I could have killed myself.

She felt a bit guilty about what she said about Rosalyn. But it was the truth she supposed. And it did get them to stop fighting.

Well, what's done is done and I can't take back what I said.

Tenel Forest was calm. The occasional twitter of a bird was all that broke the silence. Olivia finally made it out here. She closed her eyes and listened to the sounds around her. She thrust her sword into the dirt so it stuck up like the sword in the stone.

Olivia climbed into a nearby tree that had some conveniently placed branches. She didn't know why, but she preferred the outdoors to her stuffy bedroom. She got comfortable before pulling out her Gameboy. She watched as her character marched across the screen followed by the title. It was time to teach the boss who the real boss was.

In the heat of the afternoon Olivia fell asleep in the tree. She awoke to the sound of rustling leaves and the sensation of being watched. She looked around. She couldn't see anyone. Jumping out of the tree Olivia demanded to know who as there. No reply. She yanked her sword from the ground and held it in front of her. She turned around slowly, examining the shadows for a figure of any sort. Nothing. She let herself relax and dropped her sword by her side. No sooner than she did a voice came from somewhere behind her.

"You relax too soon." it said. "Your enemies may be unseen, but they are still there."

"Stan what are you doing out here? Stalking me no less."

"I wasn't stalking." he said appearing from the shadows. "I was taking a stroll and stumbled upon you sleeping in a tree. What are you doing out here all alone."

"I was enjoying the day."

"You let your guard down. Being so close to the Big Tree Hole it's a wonder you weren't ambushed."

"Don't be stupid Stan. There haven't been ghosts around here for a while now."

"None the less…"

"Why are you here Stan?" Olivia demanded. Stan was up to something. She could feel it.

"I told you I was taking a stroll." he said defensively.

She eyed Stan suspiciously. There was another sound behind her and she whirled around to see what it was. In seconds Stan was beside her, peering into the dense forest.

"Who's their." growled Stan. No answer came.

"What is it Stan?" Olivia asked in a hushed tone. He didn't answer. She was beginning to think he hadn't heard her. So she was going to ask again. Stan somehow knew she was about to speak and motioned for her to be silent. They stood like this for almost two minutes in dead silence. Their was no movement, no sound. The only thing she could hear was her heart beating in her chest. Stanly slowly relaxed. He stood up straight but still didn't remove his eyes from the area.

"We should leave." he said grabbing Olivia's arm and dragging her away from the clearing. They got no further than seven steps when a figure appeared behind them.

"Where do you think your going?" it asked coldly. Stan turned to meet the Figure.

"This is no time Stan." Olivia said trying to drag the king away from a battle.

"Leave me be you little twerp." he said jerking his sleeve from her grasp. Olivia hesitated. She couldn't just leave Stan.

"So you are the great Stanly? Hah. Very great indeed." it scoffed. The figure was tall. Taller than Stan. It wore a black cloak and dark blue suit. It had deep purple hair and silver eyes like storm clouds.

Stan gritted his teeth. He'll be sorry he said that. Stan charged the dark figure with a ferocity never before seen by Olivia. He anticipated the figures movement and aimed so that he would land just behind him. Stan landed lightly and turned to strike the figure with a sword he pulled out from an unseen sheath. The figure, whatever it was, grabbed the sword with a thickly gloved hand. Stan was baffled. How on earth could anything have grabbed a speeding sword with his hand. Even one with thick gloves on. The sword should have cut right through.

"Let me enlighten you Stan. I am the new Great Evil King of all things that roam this puny world. And as of now your powers…Are mine."

What happened next happened so quickly that Stan didn't have a chance. The figure yanked Stan's sword up causing Stan to fly up with it. Stan was sent flying to the other end of the clearing in a crumpled heap and all his powers save a few, were now pulsating in a red ball of light. The figure laughed evilly.

"Way too easy. If you ever get stronger I want a rematch. But in the meantime, all your powers will be poured out into other evil beings that I have chosen to help me in my quest for world domination. As for you…" It turned to face Olivia who was frozen to the spot. She couldn't run. Couldn't scream. Nothing. All she could do was watch hopelessly as the figure neared her. Just when all seemed lost, their came the sound a large group. The figure looked up nervously.

"I will return." it said. "And when I do their will be no one who can stop me." Olivia looked towards the noise and when she looked back the menacing creature was gone. She rushed over to where Stan lay. His figure was slowly fading from human to a pointed black shadow with glowing yellow eyes.

"Stan!?! What's going on?!?"

Stan opened his eyes briefly before shutting them again.

"Stan!"

Stan disappeared completely. Where to? Her shadow? Olivia hoped so. Stan couldn't die. How could he?

"I'm so sorry. Was he your father or something?"

Olivia swung around to see who had said this. It was a young boy. He had short brownish-blond hair with a horn sticking out on either side of his head. He wore a strange Long sleeved tunic colored blue, green, red, and purple. The bright yellow belt around his waist made it look as if he wore a skirt over his similarly colored pants. He also wore a brightly colored jacket like a cloak. His only weapon was a sheathed sword.

"Who are you?" she asked surprised.

"I'm sorry…I didn't mean to surprise you…it just…my nature I guess…my names Allitross." he spoke with long pauses between his words.

"Alli-tross…Well Allitross, I'm Olivia. Tell me are you the one who scared that guy away?"

"I…Yeah…I did. I heard you scream…and I came."

Scream? Olivia didn't remember screaming. Of coarse she hadn't really been paying attention to herself when Stan was thrown across the clearing. Maybe that was when she screamed.

"I really think I ought to get home. You can come with me if you like Allitross. You could eat dinner with us and stuff."

"Ok."

And the two set off in the direction of Olivia's house. How was she going to explain to her parents the strange events of that afternoon. And how will they react to Stan's little mishap.
