V.F.D.

Chapter 14: Starboy

"Ven!"

Ven burst through the door, with Duncan, and they both had shocked looks on their faces.

"Ven! What happened in there?" Aqua asked, worried.

"Somebody saved us. It was really dark, and this black figure magically untied all of us. Wait...."

The door swung open again, and Isadora rushed toward Duncan, crying.

He embraced his sister, comforting her. "It's all over now."

And there was one more that still had to come out of that room.

"Georgie!"

Ven ran toward his best friend and hugged him, finally glad to have something go right for once. 

Everyone else joined in the giant hug and laughed joyfully.

Unfortunately for Count Olaf, he wasn't dead. He wanted to be, because he hurt so bad. Why did Eraqus have to throw him out of his own house?

He tried to get up, but he couldn't. Then he saw something, in the distance. It was black....

Could this help him?

The figure just looked at him, and walked away.

Count Olaf slumped down in misery, waiting to die.

Back in the house, Khaled looked out the window, shocked.

"Terra, did you do this?" He asked, pointing to the miserable Olaf.

"I did." Eraqus spoke up.

"What?!" Said almost everyone.

"He trapped us in the secret tower room, so I had to throw him out."

"Well, at least we don't have to worry about him anymore." Donna pointed out.

"Yes, we do." Terra objected. "He's still alive. What are we going to do with him?"

There was a moment of uncomfortable silence before Ven said what everyone had been thinking.

"Go arrest him. Put him in jail."

Hartman realized this and slapped his forehead. "I mean that's obvious! Why does no one else come up with these ideas?"

So everyone left Count Olaf's house and walked over to him.

"Count Olaf," Hartman said. "You are under arrest for kidnapping, attempted murder, and a number of other things."

He handcuffed Olaf, and got him up. "But first... Let's get you to a hospital."

As everyone looked over to DJ Khaled's bus, they saw a figure peeking out from behind it. It was black, tall, and then it was gone.

"Uhh, did you guys see that?" Georgie asked, a little nervous.

"Yeah, we all saw that." Duncan replied. "What do we do?"

Hartman walked in front of everyone and started the plan.

"Terra, Eraqus, Aqua and I will go take care of Olaf. Dwayne, Khaled, kids, you go check that out. Sam, Donna, you guys guard the place and make sure nobody takes DJ Khaled's bus."

"But then how are you going to take Count Olaf away?" Khaled asked.

"I'll just teleport him."

"Oh, yeah. I forgot you could do that."

"Wait, he can teleport?" Olaf interjected worriedly. "What are you going to do? Don't-"

And they were gone.

"Well, at least we don't have to worry about him." Wayne said.

"Yeah, let's go." Ven agreed.

While Sam and Donna were left to guard the tour bus, everyone else went to check out the dark figure.

"What do you think it is?" Georgie asked excitedly.

"I-I don't know, but it looks a l-little evil." Bill replied.

"A little? It was all black." Duncan pointed out.

"Racist." Lil Wayne muttered.

"What?"

"Nothing, man."

They walked to where they saw the figure, and it wasn't there.

But it was getting dark, and if the figure was all black, it would be harder to see him.

"Do you think he likes the night?" Georgie asked.

"Huh? What do you mean?" Ven inquired.

"He must like the dark, if he looks dark."

"Good point. Let's test that out later."

So they waited. They waited until it got dark enough. And at that point, Eraqus had come back and was pretty frustrated.

"You had a job and you decided to wait?"

"Well, we have a theory." Khaled said, saving Ven from the yelling.

"What?"

"We think that since he's completely black, that we should wait until it's dark enough, so he comes out."

Eraqus thought for a second. "I mean that sounds pretty reasonable. Let's test this out. And if you're wrong, you won't be leading this group anymore."

"Oh, come on!" Georgie protested. "It was my idea. Please don't put it on him!"

Hartman smiled at looked over at Eraqus. "Don't be hard on them, it was a side job. Besides, I gave them the job. And who said Khaled was leading? I think they're all equally leading. There is no leader. So just let them work how they want to work, ok?"

Eraqus stopped, and nodded. "Go ahead."

It was pretty dark, but the group could see well. Sam got out his flashlight and turned it on, but Donna stopped him. "If he likes dark, then turn that thing off!"

It took a while, but there he was. Tall, dark, looking non-human.

Bill looked at the figure, mesmerized. "C-Can we go t-talk to him?" He whispered.

"I'll do it." Terra volunteered.

He stepped into the light. "Hey."

The guy turned around. He just tilted his head, probably confused.

"You helped save our friends. Thank you."

The figure just stared at him. Then he turned to leave.

"No, wait!"

He stopped.

"Who are you?"

The tall person turned around. A cloud of darkness enveloped him, and he was gone.

"Oh, come on!" A voice said from behind Terra.

"You scared him."

Terra turned around to see a guy a little older than Terra, with light brown skin. His black and red car could be seen behind him.

"Or you said something he didn't need to know."

"Um, who are you?" Terra asked, a little confused.

"Abel!" Lil Wayne stepped forward.

"Wayne?"

They slapped up, both looking a little surprised.

"What are you doing here?" The other guy asked.

"Long story. Do you know that guy that disappeared?"

"Yeah, that's also kind of a long story."

"Well, let me introduce you to my friends. Guys, this is Abel, or as you might know, The Weeknd."

"There's a new nickname too." Abel added.

"Really? What's that?" Wayne asked.

"Starboy."
