A/N: My attempt at replicating a ghost of the first member of the gang. Enjoy.

8: Spirit

Four more whacks at the space of PACNO violated him as I now stuck the spear in his chest. Blood spurted painting the walls while I used my sword to sever his head.

"Well that didn't take long." I air screamed wondering if anyone would be mad about never hearing of this.

In the case The Stick looked bigger and as I grabbed it bigger than what I even remembered, I could now hear a familiar voice behind me, calming yet reasured.

"You're not the fat kid anymore…" Now I could turn and see the spirit of Stan. Looking all the same but having a glow about him.

"Well Somehow this is a shock. I mean never figured you'd ever come back. Let alone take down PC Principal like you did. Of course what the stupid troll did knocked out your voice since Heidi saved you from what we had to endure. The shit we have seen…"

I chuckled which allowed Stan to walk over to the stick.

"While we thought this as just a stick. The troll did alter this slightly."

As Stan spoke an energy now molded and crafted the stick into a long dagger like manifold. Almost a cross between a real sword and a bowtsaff you'd find in some Asian country or that stupid movie called airbender.

"This is one of the four pieces you'll need to take that trolltrace creature out. One adeliage I always remember from my parents is that the truth always sets things free and now you're on your way to set this town free once more."

I humbly nodded while swinging the stick a few times to get a feel for it.

"Until next time…" My body slowly turned into light as I found myself vanishing out of the cave. Outside Gwanda saw said light and rode on ahead. Before I even realized I could feel myself end up right outside of the Poofbalteno Gate. The Horse that she rose ended up somehow getting there within 15 seconds of my landing.

"The stick…" Her words caused me to look down at it as the stick now fashioned itself into a full rapier like thin blade sword. The hilt of it now shown a latin phrase.

HIPPITUS HOPPITUS

"Cartman, you recovered the Stick, Is the Troll Dead?"

I nodded simply and her face went into a series of stunning victory looks.

"Follow Me…" I rushed inside the throne room to the awaiting Stanron on the throne who herself now noticed the sword.

"He actually did it?"

I triumphantly held the wooden blade upwards while she also went nuts as Gwanda did.

"You've done us a great service, now of course you are indeed well on your way to slaying the troll and freeing the town." I could see she was motioning for help as one of her handlers brought out a small chest.

"Our founder Stan long ago kept one piece of personal old world equipment on him. He called it his most prized possession. My mother converted it into one of our kingdoms most fashionable trends but I always kept the original as a sign of how far we've come."

I now got told to open the chest revealing a pair of shoes in the material and shape of Stan's signature hat. Red accentuated with blue trim from the material type stylish and modern as well.

"I give you the Marsh Stompers. These have been accentuated to allow for 4 times jumping and can retrofit themselves for any terrain. No wet or cold feet will ever befall you again."

My gratitude shown as I quickly put them on while they magically fit my feet instantly.

"May I ask, where you intend to go next?"

The question was new but somehow I did show Gwanda the map on the slate showing the dots with her noticing the glowing points. The closest was simple to figure.

"The gnome domain is within a 3 day ride from here. Your only option is by horse, plus the SafeSpa tunnel will speed up your journey 5 fold."

Now I was more curious SafeSpa?

"We believe this is how the troll came to be…"

"Yep" I mouthed though they couldn't understand. The old PC Frat house spaces that are perfect for trolls like him.

"SafeSpa lies on the entrance to the mining tunnel used by the gnomes. Garments line the exterior as their previous use of collecting them has had no prevalent use in the past century." Gwanada allowed me one final moment with the queen as she gathered my stuff.

I humbly bowed in gratitude before Stanron who returned the favor. I mouthed one more thing to her which did cause her to shed a tear in her eye.

"Were they reunited and did he…"

I nodded confirming what I was about to say. Stan and Wendy are now together in the afterworld.

"Thank you Cartman…"

I exited the chamber with Gwanda in tone ready to see what the next part of my journey will take but before we got to the exterior of the hall of Raiha I saw one more picture at the edge of the structure.

This was a simple image of the guys and I looking over the domain of the mine where Tweek used to see those familiar underpants gnomes. In the corner by Tweek though I now saw a pair of hands, checking the slate, the same picture was prevalent and as I compared the images my face went white.
