December 4th, 2012
The hovercraft flew through the air as it flew over the dark, creepy forest below. I’m sitting at the control panel trying to keep it a flight. But, then comes our cute mascot, Sad Panda, jumping onto the keyboard and pressing the big red button. I could feel the ship start to swoop downwards at a rapid speed. In all happened so fast as I felt the crash and flew through the front window.
I woke up unable to see with dust in my eyes. I tried to rub it out, but I only made it worse. I tried to scream for help or to see if my team had survived the crash. I walked forward as the world around me started to become clearer and clearer. I could see hundreds of trees surrounding me, my team likely scattered.
The first I saw was DistortedReality coming out of the shadow holding Sad Panda, “It’s okay buddy, I know you didn’t mean to crash the plane thingy,” he said trying to cheer his pet up.
A hand grabbed me which made me shriek all girl like. I looked to down to find Kittybites staring up at me. A gigantic pancake laid underneath her protecting her from the fall. She did have the power of pancakes after all. “Everyone okay?”
I somehow cut down a tree with my portal sword because there is no need to explain such as powerful attack. I needed to find GoldenMyth, Naraness, and Muffin Man. Well, I didn’t really need to find Muffin Man. He was the expandable member we had around in case anything around. I don’t think he ever has or will be ever mentioned again. “Anyone see the others?”
Distorted’s face went serious, “They’re dead. Smashed to bits,” but then he smeared, “Bacon bits,”. I smacked him on the shoulder and he let out an “Ouch!”
I cut down more and more trees until I made a clear path. Still, no sight of GoldenMyth or Naraness. I had the sense that they were in some sort of trouble. Like, there was a spotlight on them, especially Nara, that would go unnoticed. I shook my head. I’m amazing and everything is about me. So I won’t worry about that. I continued to cut down a tree with one swipe of my sword without a care about what would happen as a result.
“Omac! I wouldn’t do that… Slenderman might get upset,” replied Kittybites.
In that moment Naraness appeared with a broken leg, almost falling to the ground from incapability to stand, except someone was holding her up. It was a dark figure with large arms, a lack of facial features, and wore a suit because even serial, demon, murders have day jobs. I wondered if he worked as a salesman for children’s toys. It was very obvious he loved children. That’s what the rumors said anyway. He would always bring them back here and play with them.
Slenderman growled at me, “How dare you cut down my trees!” he tightened his grip on Nara, “You don’t want to see my bad side, the side nobody lives to see,” he looks directly at me with a small gasp, “Toastman?! I thought I told you last time you entered my forest to never return, and now you come back threatening my forest?”
“But, Slendy, I’m here to help you.. But..” I showed him my sword, “I’m stronger than before, and I could take you down,”
He began to laugh, “You threaten me when I have one of your dear friends in my arms? I could spread a disease to her with a simple thought, or snap her apart in a second,”
DistortedReality offers up some bacon to Slenderman before continuing to pet Sad Panda, “It’s cool,” he told his panda, “Slendy only eats humans,”
Naraness had a feeling of sadness flow over her, feeling like she wasn’t cared about, like all I worried about was GoldenMyth. I saw a few teardrops fall from her face, but he couldn’t do anything about it. Slenderman looked to her as well about to release her, but he didn’t want to give in to my demands, still after a moment of hesitation he let her go.
Slenderman looked to me, “There is a path, you don’t have to cut down my trees… you don’t have to hurt my home…”
Naraness limped over to me to look into my own eyes. That’s when I realized… I don’t who she is. I saw her face, but I couldn’t remember anything about her that happened before this day. I shook my head, “Who-who are you?”
Her face went blank when she looked in my eyes and saw a lack of recognition. It was horrifying for her to think that I had forgotten all of our adventures. The time we saved the city from the gigantic hamster or the other time when the lake monsters started eating all the christmas presents of the rich children. She knew she might never get me back so she let herself fall back into Slendy’s arms.
“How hilarious!” replied Slendy, “You’re own leader doesn’t remember who you are,”
“I remember who she is.. She’s.. She’s.. Uh..” I replied feeling the bump on the back of my head. I turned around and snatched up Sad Panda as my sword dropped into a mud puddle below, “I remember you stupid, panda, but I don’t remember her… why?!”
Distorted tried to take Sad Panda back before looking to Slender, “Can we please have our Nara back?” he gave him the puppy dog eyes.
“Don’t worry little one,” Slendy replied, “Nara is just hurt and I’m holding onto her until we get her to safety,” he stepped forward, “Now, stop glaring at me,”
Kittybites stepped closer to me, “Are you okay, Omac?”
“Don’t touch me!” I said pushing Kitty back before picking up my sword, “State your business or I’ll slit your throat,”
Kitty looked to Slender, “Did he hit his head or did YOU do something?” then she turned her attention back to me, “I’m your friend, remember me? Kittybites?”
Distorted came up behind me and slapped me in the back of the head with a piece of bacon in an attempt to knock me out. “Bacon, make it better,”
It seemed like everyone around me expected me to freak out and attack, but I swung around and dove myself into DistortedReality’s arms, “Father! Are these people your guests? Should I get them something to eat?”
Shaking his head, Slender looked to Naraness, “I feel bad for you, as it seems your friends aren’t the brightest around,”
DistortedReality dove into character asking me to sit down in a chair made of bacon as he tied me up with meaty ropes. He started pulling out peices of food from his pockets such as waffles, bacon, eggs, and pancakes to remind me of my friends, “Remember, remember?”
I rolled my eyes, “Silly head, I know what food is. I’m not stupid,”
Slenderman and Naraness exchanged looks as she wanted to ask him to help me. I didn’t know what was going on, but that glare was almost like they were falling for each other. At that moment, I felt a lapse of rage and tried to break through the ropes that Distorted had confined me with. I thought of something as I began to munch down on the ropes in an attempt to break free, but they were too crispy.
Kittybites came over unting me, “I’m Kitty, nice to meet you,” she attempted to calm me down.
I stood up. I could hear this buzzing noise coming from something the area. I walked over to Slenderman and smacked him as hard as I could. “Dumb, laptop,”
Naraness looked to Slendy, “Please, could you help me friend? I don’t know what’s wrong with him… if we lose him, we’ll lose the entire team and this is our first mission.. It’s going so badly,”
If he could roll his eyes, Slender Man would have, but either way he reaches out his hand and touches me in a flash of light from the storm above, “There, that should fix him… unless he really is an idiot,”
At that moment it all came back to me. I remembered everything from Naraness to where I was to finding Golden. I shook my head, taking back my sword, and looked around to everyone, “I’m sorry,”
Kitty jumped up and down, “Yay, Omac’s back!”
I looked to Naraness with a feeling of doubt. I had likely hurt her feelings in ways I wasn’t sure I’d ever be able to recover from. I couldn’t tell her how I truly felt about her or the reasons of why I was truly ignoring her compared to our other three members. It was hard understanding who I was to begin with and adding romantic feelings toward someone you just met? Was it real? Or was I caught up in the moment of excitement. She was the one who was hurt after all… and it was like.. I wanted to fix her, yet there was Slenderman taking all the glory.
I then looked to DistortedReality who was looking back and forth at me and the chair trying to figure out how I escaped. Then it started to rain harder as I looked to Slender who had an umbrella above him and Naraness. Then I was back to looking at Naraness… lost, scared, and now getting wet from the rain above. It made my heart ake to see her that way… It was like I was seeing her in a whole new light. When my memories had returned, she was the first thing I had thought about.
Suddenly, the trees start to fade with color as the leaves began to fall. According to legend, that wasn’t supposed to happen in this forest. The rain begins to pour down harder and I started to run towards the only remaining light in this blurry mess. It had to be Golden. I had some sort of connection to her. She said it was because of her abilities, but… I couldn’t be sure. I felt like I was losing it.
I could still hear Slenderman began to break down slowly as his forest died, “M-My home?!” he gasped.
Then I heard DR start hugging the dying trees and looking back could notice him rubbing bacon all over, “Bacon make it all better,”
That’s when I ran too far to hear anything else from my friends and reached the light I been aiming for. I was hoping to find GoldenMyth… but to my surprise there was a candle burning no matter how much rain came crashing down upon it. That’s when I realized that this was some sort of trick. I backed up, but before I could move the ground began to sink and I was being sucked into the ground.
“HELP!” I screamed hoping someone would hear me, but throughout the roar of thunder from above it was doubtful.
That’s when I saw a fox come out of a nearby cave. As I sunk farther into the ground it stood up on two legs with a wicked smile. “Nobody likes complete rehashes, Omac!” before swirling around and knocking me out with it’s tail.
December 5th, 2012
By time I woke up I was already tied up in a cave with the sound of a waterfall in the background. I looked around to happily find GoldenMyth tied up in the chair next to me. Despite being captured I still wanted to hug her and tell her how worried I was. I figured she was crushed by metal or had a pole sticking through her colin. Still, I didn’t say anything waiting for her to explain what had happened.
Before Golden could say anything our kidnapper came in his fox form. He stood up again and clapped with his little paws, but it didn’t fully reach and it was all adorable and cute and such. “I am La Volpe, the one member you wouldn’t let into your little club! I just wanna have fun,”
“Nice explaination, now let us go,” replied Golden.
“See, all I wanted was to get into your little group, and now I’m going to blame you for destroying Slender’s forest! He will murder all of you for it,” replied La Volpe.
I closed my eyes, “I’m not going to let a..” and opened them, “Stupid overgrown rat into my club,”
La Volpe squinted his eyes, “I WOULD CUT YOU UP INTO HUNDREDS OF TINY PIECES!!!” but then moved his front paws, “But, my hands.. They so tiny,”
“So.. you can’t hurt us in any way.. Let us go!” screamed Golden.
“Wait? How did you tie the rope-”
“SILENCE!” he screamed, “I AM A GOD! I deserve to be part of the best team ever and if you won’t let me in, I'll make Slender Man murder you if it’s the last thing I ever, totally, seriously, really, do,”
“Look, I think Omac is trying to say that he is sorry and that we didn’t mean to upset you,” Golden attempted a truce.
At that moment DistortedReality came bashing through the cave wall only a few inches right next to the entrance. With him was Kittybites and Naraness using a large piece of bacon as a cane. The three of them attacked with full force using their abilities, tossing sharp bacon, fluffy pancakes to crush enemies with, and an egg bomb.
At collision it appears there is nothing left of their enemy, La Volpe. For a moment Bacon, Kitty, and Nara began to cheer, but there was happiness was short lived as a bright light shined around the room and suddenly La Volpe was standing besides them with all of them tied up and laying on the ground. It looked like game over for the clubhouse of toast.
La Volpe smiled, “Well, my work is done. I just need to finish trying to destroy this forest and have Slenderman find you and kill you! It’s the perfect plan,” he said before teleporting out of the cave.
“THAT WAS CRAZY!” exhaled Kittybites.
“Any chance Slendy will come save us?” I asked.
“Doubtful, if he thinks we caused the weather…” replied GoldenMyth.
I felt angry. This wasn’t fair. I was so mad that I could feel my buttery powers acting up, getting hotter and hotter until I could feel my body melt through the ropes. I jumped up in excitement, “I’m free!”
“That’s a good idea,” Nara said as she started to think about how hard an egg is and then fell over and… exploded. A yellow remains extracted from her in one big blast, her silver stone like body dripping with yolk.
“SHE’S DEAD,” Kitty screamed.
I burst into tears. So many things I never got to tell her… and now she was gone. In that blink second I lost the one person I liked most on this team. Sure, DR was the comic relief. Golden was the truthful one and Kitty was the cheerful one. Muffin man was the brave, like no one ever was and would never miss a fight. Except this one. And, the next one. But, Nara was the most beautiful, elegant, and creative one. She always thinks outside of the box and that made her one of the most valuable members on the team.
Even GoldenMyth was shocked with complete horror upon her face, “I knew she wasn’t happy with the team, but this.. This is..”
The yolk begins to bubble and all of our mouths drop as Naraness rises from the ashes better than ever in a completely healthy state, without a broken leg. She had the powers to regenerate herself… but with what limits? This was a complete shock to all of us. She had managed to free and heal herself while completely terrifying all of us.
I walked over to her, “Seriously? I was free.. I could have untied you..”
Distorted was lost in thought, “I wanna explode…”
I then freed the other three members of my team. I pointed to the cave exit, but then Distorted made a huge hole… next to his previous one. I facepalmed and made my way behind him as everyone else followed. We had to find Slenderman, convince him not to kill us again, and then stop La Volpe once and for all.
As we ventured into the woods we decided it would be best to have Slendy’s help with stopping La Volpe. Finding him would be the difficult part… It could take weeks to find him in this terrible rain, covered in all these trees and falling leaves… OH THERE HE IS! We, as a team, ran up to him. He was standing next to a tree rubbing it up and down as it slowly withered away. It was saddening to watch him suffer, but if we didn’t do something his entire forest would die with it.
“Slendy! We kn-” I tried to speak, but with a swift turn he long arms leading up to his hand was around my neck.
“Slender, no,” Naraness pleaded, “It wasn’t us that caused your trees to start dying, I promise,”
Slenderman tightened his grip, “I’m the monster who kidnaps children and brings them hear to eat piece by piece. At least that’s what everyone says, and I’m finally going to become what everyone believes I am.
DistortedReality was petting Sad Panda, “Omac will be fine, he’s like a cat who has nine lives. Oh, wait that is Kitty,”
Kitty looked at him weird, “Just because my name is Kitty doesn’t mean I have nine lives…”
“You don’t have to kill, Slender. Don’t become the thing everyone fears you are,” she grabbed his free hand, “Everyone except us, except me,”
I was released and allowed to fall to the ground. I couldn’t talk due to the pain so I would let everyone else do the talking. Naraness started to hug Slenderman and my heart started to beat rapidly. What was this feeling deep inside my gut? I was suddenly mad at Slendy and I wanted him to leave us alone. But, then I remembered the mission and how important this forest was to him and I knew I had to suck it up. Whatever it was.
Slender looked into Nara’s eyes and she into his dead, plainless face and they looked absolutely in love. I could even imagine little hearts floating around them. I felt sick, so much so I nearly threw up my lunch. Toast with a side of butter and more toast. I wanted to take my sword and stab it through his chest. I couldn’t take my feelings into effect… I needed to move forward as soon as possible.
“Let’s go!” I said raising my sword in the air before marching forward.
Kittybites talked to me as we walked with a smile on her face, while everyone else was way behind us. “Omac… Do you like Nara?”
I shook my head, “What? Uh.. Yeah, I like everyone on my team,”
She bumped into me, “If that’s what you say, but there is someone for everyone,” with that she let her speed decrease so could have a moment to myself.
That’s when we heard the screeching sound that forced each of us to the ground, except Slenderman of course as he didn’t have any ears. I looked forward to find La Volpe jumping up and down with a weird helmet on his head. That must be how he is controlling the weather… and how he seemed to bend time earlier. I wish I could have done something, but I was stuck listening to this horrid sound.
That’s when I noticed Naraness begin to pick up in speed making her way. She wasn’t affected by the sound in the way we were due to her owl like properties. I watched as she ran past me heading towards our enemy and then as she reached him. I needed to help her, so I put my hands over my ears and released the pressure by creating a wall of butter inside them. I no longer could hear the bad sound. I went after Naraness.
Slenderman appeared next to La Volpe, but that’s when La Volpe’s helmet started to glow and Slendy turns towards Naraness. He wrapped out his hands pulled her close before slamming her down on the ground. He was being controlled! Out of my anger from earlier, and the fact I needed to protect my team, I launched my sword towards his way. It slid right into his chest. He stumbled backwards before vanishing.
He then appeared next to me taking my sword and holding it to my throat. He then pulled it back and took it with a full force swing, but it caught up with GoldenMyth’s own sword. Slendy dropped my sword and wrapped his long arms around her. I was trying to recover when Kittybites threw a hot waffle onto his blank face. He turned backward in pain, only to find a sharp piece of bacon in the chest from DR.
Now it was my turn, I picked up my sword and stabbed into his chest directly where his heart should be. I didn’t even think about saving him at that moment. He fell on his side as the darkness around him started to melt away. I looked away for only a second to look back to my team, but looking back found him to only be the results of a cat. I was taken by surprise, I had no idea what had happened.
“I get it!” Kittybites said, “He was an innocent cat loved by children everywhere when he was turned into a monster that feeds on kids,”
“So, in a way, we just saved him?” Golden asked.
Distorted scratched at his head, “Did, bacon make it better?”
At that moment the forest around us had completely faded away to where we were in an open field covered in dead branches. Everything around us had died… and now there wasn’t even a Slenderman to rebuild it. I turned around to find Naraness holding La Volpe with a smashed helmet beside her. She had defeated him all by herself? I was impressed, but still this mission wasn’t the success we had hoped it would be.
Kitty nudged me like I should Nara tell something, but I didn’t have any words to say. I didn’t understand myself at the moment and asking someone out was simply.. A bad move. I looked back to my team. It has been a crazy ride and I couldn’t imagine where we would be in three to five years. Then I looked back to Naraness one last time before closing my eyes, our mission was over.
August 12, 2015
I was still wearing my masquerade mask. I looked around at the empty castle building that a party was simply moments before. I’m sure everyone had fun, as I did, but it was very emotional night for me. I met this wonderful girl… I still had her mask firmly in my grasp that I had found when she was pulled away from the castle. Using my butter magic I did a reverse spell to keep me here a little longer, but it was unsure how long it would last.
This blue mask in my hand.
For who does it belong?
Now I'm feeling very sad.
About to bust into song.
The castle began to shake like as little things, like the unicorn ice sculpture, started to vanish like the guests previously did. I started running through the main hall hoping to find the one person who could help me find the princess. I felt hurt. Earlier that night, she had left to dance with someone else and never returned. Sure, I had fun, but my heart was severed into hundreds of little pieces.
Where are you masquerade girl?
Where did you run off to?
You can be any female on RPA
Or the really pretty male ones too.
Where are you masquerade girl?
What I supposed to do?
If only I had your RPA name.
I just wish I knew...
I stopped dead in my tracks when I saw Eli standing at the top of the stairwell waiting for me with a smile on her face. Of course, she knew by the mask in my hand who I was looking for and so I dropped to my knees trying to ask her for the name of the girl of my dreams. Those few short moments with her was the most magical I’ve ever experienced, and that’s saying a lot considering I live in RPA, I explained to her.
What is your name, girl?
How do I have a clue?
I’d save you in a zombie invasion
Or an alien one too.
I know I seriously ignored you,
I always talk to my friends,
But, if I could I take that moment back.
I’d do it all over again!
Elizabeth16 heard my song as I pleaded and she put her hand on my shoulder, “She is out there somewhere… I’m just not allowed to reveal that kind of information to you, Omac,”. She pointed to the door all the way down the steps, “I wish you luck,” with that she vanished as well and the castle started to fade away too. I still walked slowly back as I keep retelling myself her words, “She’s out there,”
Where are you masquerade girl?
How am I supposed to find?
Now I’m a heartbroken, Omac
Who has lost his mind.
I looked back around one last time as the stairs vanished into nothing. Magic had created this place and without the magic keeping it together it would simply fall apart. That is why the party couldn’t last forever… it made sense now.. but , I wish I had just one more second to find her, before she was pulled away. As I exited I could hear for a quick second the ending of a song just like my own;
Where are you masquerade boy?
Oh, gosh what have you done?
I’m mad and upset with you,
But, what if you were the one?
