Cormag ran through the halls with RICK on his back and Erk and Raven following. The fans where no where in sight. Cormag yelled back to Erk and Raven,

"How far behind is he?"

Raven answered, "I don't know, it must be far because I can't hear or see him."

Suddenly a loud, "MOOOOOOOO!" came from the distance. Raven started breaking out laughing. Pretty soon Jaffar came from around the hallway corner. Raven was still laughing,

"No. Way. What kind of hunting shriek was THAT?"

Jaffar started twitching uneasily.

"DO you have an udder?"

Jaffar glared and continued twitching.

"Hey everybody, It's Milk Man!"

Jaffar pulled off his cape and yelled, "I didn't want you to see this but…" he pointed to his arm that said in red, 'The list' Under it was 'Knoll x3'

Jaffar pulled his sword out and yelled, "You're on my list Raven!"

Raven suddenly became serious again, "Y-you put that on in blood?"

Jaffar laughed, "No, my left sword is just a tattoo pen and a sword in one! How convenient!"

Jaffar tackled Raven and cut the chain to the handcuffs. Erk jumped for joy.

"Yay! I'm free! I mean… Raven, Nooo!" Erk paused, "Hey! Why didn't you do that before!"

Cormag ran up to Erk and said, "Less talking, more running for your life!"

Erk took that as his queue to shut up and continued forward.

-----

Hector ran inside the haunted house ride followed by Ross, and soon Eliwood and Garcia. Of course they didn't know it was a haunted house ride.

Hector jumped into the cart. He motioned for Ross to do the same. Ross scowled and said, "I can't!" He sat on Hector's lap.

"Get off!" Hector yelled, but Ross didn't move.

"You're taking up all the room! And Eliwood and Dad are right behind us!" Ross said.

Hector sighed, "Fine, let's just see if we can loose them in this horrid darkness."

-----

Garcia yelled at Eliwood, "Stop whimpering!"

Eliwood hugged his legs as the cart moved them into a complete pitch-black room. Hector and Ross where just ahead of them,

"I can't help it! I hate the dark!"

Garcia sighed, "Let's just hope this ride hurries up, I'd like to give them a piece of my mind for how they took advantage of us!"

-----

Hector heard a distinct howling in the distance. "What was that?" he questioned.

Suddenly a ghostly head popped out right in front of them. Hector flinched. Ross squealed.

Ross moved in a strange way. Hector looked up at Ross, on his lap, puzzled.

"What are you…?" Hector began, but a warm feeling stopped him.

"Did you just--You just RUSTED MY ARMOR!"

-----

Erk tripped. Cormag did the slow-mo, "Nooooo!" Erk glared at what tripped him, a portable T.V.

Cormag remembered how at RICK's house they were constantly pulled into the T.V. and its fascinating shows. He yelled over as Jaffar dashed to Erk, "Turn on the T.V, and shield yourself!"

Erk turned it to a random channel just as Jaffar nearly tackled him.

"And today our top story, Jaffar is the winner of American Idol!" The news reporter said.

Jaffar grinned and sat down right in front of the T.V. If he had been any closer, his face would be pressed against the screen. The reporter continued,

"Fudgemonkey and Sir Guana haki looki huki chu chubba ding dingli, announced him as the winner early today as millions of fans mobbed them."

It showed a clip of a bruised Fudgemonkey saying, "At the risk of being hit again, I'd just like to say Jaffar is the winner of American Idol!"

Erk smiled, "See you're happy, I'm happy. Let's be friends!"

Jaffar popped his knuckles, "I'm afraid that just ain't gonna cut it."

Erk paused to think of a diabolically lie, "Err… Okay, I admit it! I never went into that ridiculous Nino suit!"

Jaffar raised an eyebrow, "I'm listening."

Erk continued uneasily, "It was all Knoll! He's such an evil mastermind! In fact he PAID me to admit that I did all those things to you when it was him! He PAID all of us!"

Jaffar was silent for a moment, "I knew it! That bastard! But… where can I find him!"

The T.V. suddenly answered his question, "And in later news, Knoll was taken to a mental institution earlier this morning."

Jaffar pulled out his sword/tattoo pen and added another thing to his list. It now said 'Knoll x35'

Erk almost broke out laughing.

Jaffar dashed out of hallway before he could see the other part of the news.

The male reporter wiped his eyes, "And…-sniff- In our worst news in history… The Jaffar was said to have been responsible for the Pet shop massacre of police men a few days ago." The reporter started crying.

A female reporter took over, "Uhh… What Kyle is trying to say, is that Jaffar is now wanted in about every state! In fact, we're investigating this American Idol hallway right now!"

Erk heard the yelling noises of Cormag and in the background. Erk turned his attention back to the T.V. screen.

"Hey, who's that Purple-Headed poser that's watching T.V in the background?" Erk asked rather stupidly.

Erk turned around to find a T.V. camera pointing right at him. Erk did the girly-shriek. Raven entered the hallway limping before he was tackled by police officers, a police officer handcuffed Erk's hands before he could do anything, the now sleeping RICK was dragged away, and Cormag wouldn't go down without a fight but was soon handcuffed anyway.

When Cormag fell, it seemed like it was all over. Suddenly Serra entered the hallway followed by Tana, still drunk Seth, Neimi, Colm, and Nino.

Serra put her hands on her hips, "No one! I repeat, NO ONE, Tackles my Erky--except for ME!"

Serra began smacking random police officers with her staff.

Tana grinned as she pulled out her Kick-Ass lance Vidofnir.

Seth turned on a cd player with Holla back girl, while punch and/or kicking an officer in the face every time the song said shit.

Neimi began shooting the police officers with a silver bow. Colm went ass kicking with a killing edge.

And, Nino began singing, causes all the lights in the hallway to fall on the random officers while everyone else took cover.

One police officer was left conscious. Serra was taking care of him. She'd ask him over and over, 'Did you mess with MY Erky!'

When he always answered 'No.', she'd smack him and say, 'Good Boy.'

Erk nearly pulled out all of his hair while he constantly babbled, "I can't believe I owe Serra a favor!"

Serra ditched the police man and walked next to Erk. "Now… about that favor…" she grinned evily and Erk nearly keeled over.

The police man who was just pounded by Serra, quietly pulled out a walkie-talkie. "We have a code banana-yellow! I need the S.W.A.T. team over here right away, these folks are nothin' but trouble!"

END OF CHAPTER 17

Erk walked over to where RICK was standing, "Who that crap is the S.W.A.T team?"

RICK sighed, "Evil people Erk. We're going to jail."

Erk cocked his head, "What's jail."

RICK, laughing to himself answered, "It's a b-a-ad place, I've been there before."

Erk asked, "Oh, why, Mr. I can't-lie?"

RICK put a big smile on his face, "For too much drinking!"

Erk laughed, "Of course."

Somewhere in the distance Jaffar ran off with blood-red eyes. So basically it could have been Jaffar, skipping through a field of daisies. Anyway…

Jaffar pointed with his swords ahead of him, "I'LL GET YOU KNOLL!" He screamed.

--

Suddenly, at a random mental institution Knoll sat with a grave look. "I already said, I HATE THE PIL—"

Knoll fell out of his chair. The nurse peered over the table and looked at Knoll. "What happened?" She asked.

Knoll was confused for a moment. "I don't know… I felt a disturbance…"
