Hey all. I know it has been a really, really, really long time. But now I am back to update this story. Yayyy. I believe that we are now on a Galbatorix/Murtagh POV chapter. I hope you like it.

And I do not to own the song Believe by Cher. Don't ask, just wait for the reasoning why. And I don't own the wonderful skit "Can I Have Yo Numba?" or Ralph Wiggum.


Murtagh slowly walked past a long line of assorted men. Some were tall, some were fat, some prefered Pepsi over Coke, some looked anxious and some looked like they didn't want to be there altogether. A sign stating "the line starts here" past Murtagh as he joined Galbatorix at a long rectangular table.

"Murtagh," Galbatorix said. "you have kept me waiting!"

Murtagh looked at a tense Galbatorix and then he rolled his eyes.

"Did you forget to take your happy pills or something?" Murtagh asked.

"Yes," Galbatorix exclaimed, "I lost my pills!"

Murtagh then contemplated the thought of Galbatorix without his pills. The image of Galbatorix dressed in all black giving orders to his whole army. Then he thought of Galbatorix with his pills and imagined him watching Spongebob Squarepants asking how a sponge could be friends with a starfish. His thought was interrupted by Galbatorix calling in the first entrant for a spot in the Empire's army.

"State your name please," Galbatorix said.

"My name is Joe," the young man replied.

"Joe, eh?" Galbatorix said. "sounds like a manly name, Joe."

The man looked at Galbatorix oddly. "Thanks."

"So Joe," Galbatorix asked. "do you have an associations with a G.I. Joe?"

"No," Joe replied.

"What about a Fat Joe" Galbatorix questioned, "or a Joe DiMaggio?"

"No," Joe repeated

"Really," Galbatorix stated. "but you have such a resemblance, such hair and body built!"

Joe nodded as Galbatorix was talking.

"So Joe can you answer this question for me?" Galbatorix asked. "If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to hear it does it make a sound?"

Joe stood in his place and pondered the question for a minute. Murtagh was pretending to be awake but was actually asleep. Galbatorix looked intently at Joe while he pondered. Finally Joe opened his mouth to speak.

"Well I assume that it would still make a sound even though no one was there to hear it," Joe responded.

"Alright," Galbatorix replied. "finish this sentence for me: an old lady was speeding down the highway and when the policeman made her stop and get out of her car, she..."

"...cried and told the officer she was sorry for speeding?" Joe answered.

"I like your compassion," Galbatoix exclaimed. "Don't you Murtagh?"

Murtagh awakened at the calling of his name. He shook his head.

"Yeah sure whatever," Murtagh murmured before he fell back asleep.

"You are hired," Galbatorix decreed. "welcome to the Empire's army!"

Joe walked into the other room and then another male dressed in flashy clothing entered the room.

"Okay, alright, um" the man exclaimed. "my name is Jordan and I am going to perform for you today Believe by Cher."

Before Galbatorix could open his mouth to respond, Jordan started outrageously singing the song. He started bobbing his head to the left. After about 30 seconds he moved his shoulders from side to side.

"Do you believe in life after love?" Jordan screamed. "I can feel something inside me say that I really don't think you're strong enough...OH!"

And he repeated the same thing...again. Though this time, he gyrated his hips and then began to skip around the room.

"But I know that I'll get through this because I know that I am strong," Jordan shrieked, "I don't need you anymore
oh I don't need you anymore, I don't need you anymore, no I don't need you anymore!"

Then he then went back to the middle of the floor and posed with right leg in front of him bent with his leg behind straight out. His twidled his fingers as he stretched out to the sky.

"Thank you," Jordan said. "thank you very much,"

Galbatorix stood up and started clapping his hands.

"Oh that was lovely!" he shrieked. "you definitely are hired!"

Jordan skipped into the other room and another entrant walked into the area. He "bounced" into the room with his gangsta walk and then stood in front of Galbatorix.

"State your name," Galbatorix said.

"My name is By-run it's spelled Bryan but it's pronounced like By-run," the man exclaimed.

"Really?" Galbatorix questioned.

"Yeah boy yeah!" Byrun replied. "so listen I was looking at yo pictures I saw beautiful ass girls and I was thinkin...damn...damn...damn, can I have their numba?"

"Well no because those are my ancestors." Galbatorix answered.

"Oh, I see, I see," Byrun exclaimed. "I respect that!"

Byrun then left the room and another person strolled into the room.

"State yo..." Galbatorix started.

"So I can't have it?" Byrun asked from behind Galbatorix.

"No you can't have it," Galbatorix exclaimed.

"Oh I see, I see," Byrun stated. "you bein all selective cause you all family and shit!"

"No, I'm not all being selective because we all are family," Galbatorix replied.

"Oh really?" Byrun exclaimed.

Galbatorix began to give hand signals to his guards to take Byrun away. The guards walked up and dragged Byrun out of the room.

"Alright bye man," Byrun shouted. "I'm going miss you!"

But after numerous interviews Galbatorix has signed many people to his army. Out of the 10,000 people forced to tried out only 9,999 made it. Galbatorix talked to Entertainment Tonight crew about selecting his army.

"Well, Leeza," Galbatorix stated, "I had to make some tough decisions but the best of best were chosen to join my ferocious army."

Leeza went over to a random member of the Empire's newest additions to the army.

"So, sir," Leeza asked, "how do you feel about being chosen to represent your country?"

"When I grow up, I want to be a prinicipal or caterpillar!" the man exclaimed.

"Those are brave words from a formidable man!" Leeza claimed.

The man began to pick his nose. Then Leeza talked to other members of the army. Meanwhile, Murtagh finally woke up from his nap to see Galbatorix frolicking with his new army. Stretching out first, Murtagh got up from his seat and walked into the general direction of Galbatorix. Just then Galbatorix noticed him and walked up to Murtagh.

"Don't you think this army will be a lean mean killing machine?" Galbatorix exclaimed.

Murtagh looked at the mismatched soldiers. One soldier was intently picking their nose, another was staring at the blank wall with their mouth open, two were raming their heads together with metal helmets on, and one was preaching to all the soldiers about boxers and briefs.

"Uhhh," Murtagh studdered. "they are going to be real winners."

"I'm glad we agree" Galbatorix replied, "because if we didn't I'd have to kill you!"

Galbatorix began to maniacally laugh and point at Murtagh. Murtagh nodded and fake laughed. As he did this, he slowly backed away until he could safely run out of the room.
