AN: I do not own Robin Hood or Rangers Apprentice. I only own Shannon, James, Peter and some OC's. Warning: bad guys strip down to their underwear.

Also, I may have spelled the kings name wrong. It's Halts cousin from The Kings Of Clonmel.

Will decided it was best if he not stay the night and move on. Shannon, James and Peter were going in the opposite direction and said their goodbyes. Will thought he should deal with the gang the way Halt would. He untied them and told them to remove their clothing and shoes.

"What? Why?" Complained the leader.

"Because I said so." Will said plainly. Some of the men had difficulty what with their injuries and all. They finally all managed to strip down to their underwear.

"Good. Now go. Get out of here. And don't cross me again! Understand?" Will warned.

They all nodded in agreement.

"Good. Now beat it! All but you sir." Will said pointing to the leader. As the other gang members ran off, Will grabbed the man by the scruff of the neck and the arm and dragged him towards the stream.

"What's your name?" Will asked casually. His relaxed attitude unnerved the leader.

"Sean Dartangan." He answered shakily.

"Can you swim Sean."

"A little."

"Good." And with that Will half threw half shoved Sean Dartangan into the icy stream. "Now scram peewee! And don't let me catch you doing something criminal again." Will warned.

Sean Dartangan nodded rapidly then scurried off.

'That takes care of that.' Will thought to himself, ' Now to actually get to Hibernia before there is a price on my alias as well'

After a few more days of un eventful riding, Will reached the coast of Araluen. Will finally found a ferried who was willing to ferry him to Hibernia and was not overpriced.

"Would you be willing to take me to Hibernia? Clonmel to be exact." Will asked cheerily.

"Sure. It's 2 crowns to go there and 3 crowns to come back." The ferry man said, "The name's Elas, Jack Elas. What's yours friend?"

"Robin Hood." Will responded.

"Wait, are you the guy who saved that family from some bandits?" Jack asked wide eyed.

"What if I am?"

"Nothing. It's just that story is all over the coast. You had better put your hood up mate." Jack suggested.

"Okay." Will complied, pulling up his hood. 'Crap! Now my name is all over. I had better be careful who I talk to.' Will thought to himself.

"I'm ready to go when you are. Not much business lately." Jack said after a short pause.

"Why is that?"

"Oh I don't know. Maybe it's the rumours of people overthrowing the king's throne."

"Where is king Shaun? What is he doing about this?"

"The king is away settling a war between Alpina and Aslava. They asked him too."

"Oh!" Will was surprised. The king asked to go settle a dispute in a section of the world completely opposite from him. Bizarre. Plus his lodging was gone, and no one would believe that he had been invited, so-to-speak. He decided to go anyway and see what he could do to fix the problem. "Well I will go anyway and see what goes on."

"Alright. Ready when you are."

"Are yo unable to take my horse?"

"Oh sure. I am the only ship around who takes horses. He'll be comfortable."

With that, Will boarded with Kicker and they were off to Hibernia within a half hour.

***(AN: this part might get a little cheesy, but I needed a situation in which Will flees to the forest)

Will had never been good on ships but he endured it alright. Jack would look at his slightly green face and chuckle. When Will asked him about it he said,

"You look like death sucking on a bad lemon."

"Well my uncle looks even worse on board ships." Responded Will referring to Halt.

"He must look like death sucking on 2 lemons." Jake laughed. Will just shook his head and looked to the horizon.

It didn't take long for them too arrive at a port in Hibernia. Will got off, paid Jack then started making his way to king Shaun's castle to see if he was welcome.

Halfway there however, he heard a disturbance on the road ahead. Will cantered up a little further to see if he could find it. When he crested the hill, he saw before him a farmhouse with its barn roof on fire. He raced down the hill to help. He discovered that the source of the fire was a band of soldiers bearing the king's crest, but one who was in all black. The family who's barn was on fire attempting to put out the flames. The soldiers just stood there laughing.

Will approached and aided them. Eventually they put out the flames before it spread too far. The family thanked Will, but the soldiers strode over and said,

"Who are you? What gives you the right to interrupt discipline?" said the man in black.

"And what gives you the right to destroy this family's livelihood?" Will responded coolly. The man was taken aback by the strangers words.

"I have every right. I am Guy of Gisborne. Right hand man to the steward of Clonmel."

"Right hand man eh. Well you can go tell your steward that I will not tolerate this."

"Alright. Now that is your name? So that I may but a label on the bounty." Guy said coldly.

"Bounty? Have I done something wrong?"

"You have insulted the steward and me, interrupted discipline and I don't like you."

"What discipline? I saw oppression."

"They didn't pay their taxes."

"That is no reason."

"Yes it is...now. You had better run pretty boy, before I run you through."

"We'll then I guess I'm not welcome at the castle then." Will thought aloud.

"Nope, now your name." Guy said growing angrier.

"My name is Robin Hood."

"Then flee Robin Hood. Flee into the forest like an outlaw. Because that is what you are. There is now a bounty on your head." Guy said cruelly.

With that Will mounted Kicker, saluted sarcastically, and said to the family nearby,

"Remember me, and tell people that Robin Hood will free them of the evident overthrow of the throne And bring peace to Clonmel until the king returns."

Will rode off into the forest, not looking back and confident they would relay his message.
