Chapter 17 is the longest chapter I've written. It took me 3 hours, and I spent the first 2 hours turning the first line of the original chapter into 2 pages of nonsense. Phoo... I had to add in some nonsense to get back on track! So anywho, I give to you Chapter Seventeen.
Chapter Seventeen
Well, as a continuation of last week's chapter, Hiro and Mike have been trapped in the said Hotel Room for quite some time, as new work has not been submitted since the Great Deafening of 1892. On this date, however, more unusual things were afoot, and as Hiro stepped around them, he felt the urge to shout out a few syllables. And so this is Hiro. He says things.
"LET US OUT YOU PIECE OF ****! THIS ISN'T FUN ANYMORE!"
"It was fun before?" questioned the Pikadéx amiably, trying to pass the time by trying desperately to pass the time.
"Well, no, not really, but you get the point," was all Hiro could muster up.
"What does that even mean? Don't TELL me what I get, or I'll tell you... the saying... of... A LIFETIME!" TP'ed Pikadéx
"Waaait..." Noticed H-ro quietly, for fear of being discovered, "that was an oddly foolish and uninformed thing to say. You're supposed to be the smart one here, and that's it."
Suddenly Tom walked back again. Man, he's uninvited. And unwelcome!
"Have any of you noticed that this story is becoming increasingly dialogue-based and is abandoning the clever narration and description that have gotten it so highly praised and well-liked?" And that was all he wrote, for this was the time that Hiro chose to strike, ripping into his flesh with his gun, savoring the feel of his enemy against the blade... I mean, bullet... And actually, not so much savoring the feel as not noticing it at all, since the feeling of shooting someone is virtually nonexistent in this fast-paced modern world of ours.
"Man, am I glad he's gone!" remarked Hiro, glad to finally be rid of that narration-loving fool. "That ***** was getting annoying!"
"You said it!" said Pikadéx.
"Jibbajabba 2x3four!" yelled Mike.
"What you say?" said Hiro.
"Haha, learn real English!" said Pikadéx.
"No way fatty!" said Hiro.
"Whakekndlenj002!???@#" rambled Mike.
"Cool!" Says Hiro.
"What?" Said Pikadéx.
Suddenly, Tom's corpse arose for one final face-rubbing. "SEE?!? I was right! Too many!"
"Hey, he's right!" SuddenAgreed Pikadéx, moving slowly towards Hiro in a menacing fashion. "Did you see all that speaking back there! We just stood and talked! We didn't even move anything but our faces! Just like I'm... doing... now..." the 'dex's outrage was quickly turned to something that's not entirely unlike fear, but still somewhat far away from it, in a close kind of way.
"I AGREE" Mike managed to struggle out of his mouth, before being sucked back in and overtaken by the words announced previously on in the sentence [marked by quotation marks].
And just like that the tables had turned. Barely minutes ago, Hiro had been on top, experiencing the fun with his newfound dialogue abilities. But now that Tom was in control, anything was fair game, and so, in the blink of an eye, Hiro was left to fend for himself against the onslaught of only semi-verbal attacks.
"BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE!" announced Hiro, struggling to grab hold of their attention once more with some attention grabbing slogans, including but not limited to "There's more to come, You're being mislead by a hideous fool you hideous fools," and the ever-popular "Don't listen to Tom, he's just messing with all y'alls head! I'm the real GuyYouShouldBeListeningTo here!"
So to make a long, rambling, and seemingly endless story a sentence longer, Everyone present in the Hotel Room ate Tom's hands off, before stuffing him down a sewage main and subsequently into the furnace.
"Well, I sure am glad that's over!" spoke Hiro.
"Yes, but we'll have to be sure to keep lots of description in our speech from now on!" warned Pikadéx cautiously, making nervouse eye-shifty and making sure all the lines of communication were sound and UnTapped. "Otherwise, he may come back! And who knows what he'll think of to trick Mike and I into attacking you again!"
"Then I shall find this Who!" Hiro nobly stated, making heroic poses, "And the circle shall be complete!"

"Blaw BLawdY blarrrrr..." was what Mike would have said if he hadn't been busy saying it to Hiro. Isn't that cute? Why no, it's not, but that's ok.
"Mike, you cannot be understood any further!" Hiro kindly informed Mike, trying to prevent further catastrophes like this, "Which reminds me... HEY! ANYONE OUTSIDE OF THE ROOM! WHY HAVE YOU LOCKED ME UP WITH THIS CRAZY NUTHOUSE BAND OF RAGTAG MISFITS?!?!?!?!?! HUH? HUH? EH? HUH? WHAT? HUH? EH? YES? NO?"
Well, just as luck would have it [which she would, she's very good at that] there was an old Man listening to every happening from the other side of the door. I know it's a bit of a stretch, but just listen to what he has to say. I think you'll find it interesting.
"I'll tell you, but first it's for a fistful of yen, equal in worth to that of about 5000 of them [them being yen, of course]," oldMan RSVP'ed.
[I've successfully turned the first 4 lines of this chapter into 2 1/2 pages. I'm tired already]
"Well, I guess it's ok, but only under the condition that I pay you" Hiro haggled, and to the oldMan's delight it came out clean. So this Man opened the door of it [The Room] and was quick with his haste to let Hiro out of it [The Room] without in the process letting Mike, Pikadéx, or TomRemains out of it [The Room] as a result of the process which was completed with Hiro's exit from it [The Room].

[In this flashback, the voice of oldMan will be played by the words that are not in quotations, as it's a flashback in time!]
So once upon a day there was a league of stuff, right? It was originally a League of extraordinary gentlemen, but that folded and it suddenly became a Pokémon filled wonderland[dubbed the Tofu League], filled with Pokémon, wonder, and land everywhere you looked. Unfortunately, the place started to suck after all the wonder and land left, and everything was covered in Pokémon, so Mike took it upon himself to take responsibility for his dream of becoming a Pokémon T-Mildew [which is the Tofu term for trainer-type-guy-who-is-training-pokés], so he took off and departed to the magical Wonderland of Johto [which was where all of Tofu's wonder and land had gone off to, as it turned out]. So he went to meet up with good old Professor Tree--

"Hey! I know him!" remarked Hiro remarkably.
"Good. Now be your quiet," was all oldMan wanted, really.
AnD nOw ReTuRnS tHe FlAsHbAcK...
--. He even set up an appointment all official like. Cool, right? Wrong! Ha! See, it's wrong cause once Mike met with Prof T, he was banned from ever getting his license or becoming a trainer. But that was his only because of his crazy mad DarkPower. Otherwise, you were right on the nose.
AnD nOw EnDs ThE fLaShBaCk...
"Oh, really? Dark Power, eh?" mentioned Hiro questionably at this questionable material.
AnD nOw ReTuRnS tHe FlAsHbAcK...
Oh, yes. He had a real neat crazy dark power with the ability to do...

"You know, I've been waiting here for FIVE HOURS now, and I still haven't heard of any such talking bear! So what's really wrong with Pikadéx?" angered Hiro at the ever-stalling oldM.
"But it's not Pikadéx, and--whatever. Just be patient. I'm doing my best of jobs here to make up something extra special for you!

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"gasped Hi--"wait, I wasn't finished yet. OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!! You may proceed," gasped Hiro.
AnD nOw ReTuRnS tHe FlAsHbAcK...
Yes, It's true, it's all so sad, yet also all so true. He did a whole bunch of terrorizing and havoc-wreaking all about the globe for somewhere in the net worth of approx. 2 yrs. It's vaguely surprising that you should only hear of this thing now, as it was done for quite so long.
AnD nOw EnDs ThE fLaShBaCk...
"Yeah, well, I was really busy watching important things like the Cartoon Network and Nick at Nite!" Hiro excused himself, with even more pitiful excuses than were necessary. Thanks bunches.
AnD nOw ReTuRnS tHe FlAsHbAcK...
Neat. So anyway, the World happened to be very fortunate, because as luck would have it [and again, she's become quite good at that over the years] some guy invented the NEW! Radio Headphone Hat, and the sounds that were created in the process of manufacturing such a confection proved to be just what We needed to destroy the Powers of He [We being us, Powers being special abilities, and He being him]. And once the task of PowerDefeation was complete, all that was necessary was the only unnecessary step contained in the process. So after all that, we decided to lock Mike and his powers away forever in the--

"Oh! OOOOOHHHHH!!! I've got this one under my hat! It's the Dead Zonealso, isn't it? Isn't it...?"Hiro shouted, while making menacing fist-shakey during the last sentence to emphasize anger and feeling from within the confines of sentence structure.

Suddenly Pikadéx, who [as luck had, again] had been listening through the door [what a coincidence] this whole time, poked out his Head to yell, "Jesus Christ, ENOUGH WITH THE GODDAMN FLASHBACK ALREADY! YOU'RE PISSING THE HELL OUT OF ME!!" And that was the end of that.
"Yeahhhh..... So anywho," continued oMan, "We actually put him in--"
"OOH! ME! ME! ME! It's the Dead Zone, isn't it? ? ? ? ?" Hiro repeated, seemingly forgetting about the previous occasion on which it had been stated.
"NO! It was that stupid annoying Route-House Pass-Through building thing!" Temper-Lost Teh oldMan.
Suddenly, the severity of what the old thing had said to him started to sink in, and Hiro yelled "QUE????? YOU mean that I'M gonna be stuck with a PSYCHO TALKING GUY that talks all the time and won't stop no matter how much WE beg and plead, until HE mouths OUR ears Off???!?!?!!??!?!?!"
"Hang on there, GBH [GoodBuddyHiro]! Hope ain't lost Just yet!!! It's still got it's way!"
"Explain yourself, Flashback Vendor," instructed Hiro, observing the Man with a wary eye.
"Aunt Jemima! Ol' Jemimes still has a NEW! Radio Headphone Hat FactoryŽ hidden somewhere to the south!" Tutored FlashBackMan "South is the opposite of the direction in which her home resides, which is North! Let's do it! Find Jemima, and her FactoryŽ, before Mike is Able to Destroy the World as We know It! Again!"
