As Lesell and her party recovered, two stone snakes appeared behind them.

"Oh, please." Ranma laughed, "We all saw how easy Kagato's stone snakes are. Mihoshi beat them without even trying!" With that he leapt up and smashed one of the snakes with a kick. He landed and started hoping up and down, holding his foot and swearing.

"What happened?" Literary Eagle asked.

"You're the prophetess," Ranma said between clenched teeth. "You tell me!"

"I'll take care of it!" K'thardin declared. He hurled an overly-huge fireball at the stone apparations, but a shield reflected it back at the party.

"Any more bright ideas?" Amuro yelled. He turned to Literary Eagle. "You're the prophetess, tell us, why can't we hurt these guys?"

Literary Eagle thought for a moment. "Um...Because this section is being written by a new author who needs a dramatic way to introduce his character."

Just then a voice cried out "Amakakeru-Ryu-no-Hirameki!" And a stranger flew out of the shadows, ripping one of the snakes apart with a sword.

"Kenshin?" Ranma asked.

"No," K'thardin said, "He might be dressed like Kenshin, and he even has the 'X' scars, but Kenshin has long red hair, not short black hair."

"Who are you?" Lesell asked.

"I am the Hitokiri Otaku." the stranger said dramatically. A small white bat with blue wings, and a heart on his chest popped out of nowhere.

"No you're not!" he said. The stranger paused for a moment.

"Oh yeah," he said, smiling, "I'm not! I am the Total Anime Nut, but you can just call me the Nut if you want to. And this is Babbit, the white bat from Kodomo no Omocha. I don't particularly like him, but he won't leave me alone....ACHOOOO!" He rubbed his nose. "Does anyone here have any lemons?"

K'thardin smiled wickedly, as he pulled two lemons from his pockets. The Nut lashed out with his sword, somehow managing to dice the lemons into nothing with once motion. "I'm allergic to lemons. Can't stand them."

"He's gonna LOVE the trip back." Lesell said.

K'thardin looked in sorrow at his now empty hands. He hurled another fireball at the Nut. Through the smoke and fire, the Light Hawk Wings shone through. The Nut emerged, now dressed like Tenchi was when he defeated Kagato.

Then the remaining stone snake roared and prepared to strike again.

"Use the succession technique again!" Amura shouted at the Nut.

"What succession technique?" the Nut asked. Everybody sweatdropped.

"The one you just did!" they all shouted in unison. The Nut thought for a moment.

"Oh! THAT succession technique." he said, finally, "Um....I forget how." Everybody facefaulted.

"You know the snake is still here." the white bat pointed out.

"Huh?" the Nut said, "Oh, right." He formed the Light Hawk Wings and condensed them into a sword. Leaping into the air, he cut the snake's head off with one swing. "There, now where were we?"

"How did you even get here?" Lesell asked.

"Oh, well you see, I was looking for the Ayeka kingdom, so I stopped to get directions from this Ryoga guy..." Everybody groaned in unison.

"Why did you want to go to the Ayeka Kingdom?" K'thardin asked. "Oh, I decided to build a couple of nutty anime shrines. I've already got one finished."

"But how could you have built it, if you haven't reached the kingdom yet?" Amura asked.

"Oh, well you see. I'm omnipotent, I just don't know it." Everybody was silent, unable to figure out what to say to that. "Anyways, do you mind if I join your party? I don't want to have to walk through the Lemonwood Forest."

"Just because you don't go now, doesn't mean you won't have to go through later." Literary Eagle pointed out."

"Maybe, but I can't follow logical thought processes." the Nut said with a smile.

"Oh." she said.
