Kick Buttowski and the Curse of the Mummy
In the last chapter, Kick is kidnapped by a fat figure. It's up to Gunther and Audrey to save him or things will be a lot worse than being the mummy's uncle.
As Gunther and Audrey searched for Kick in the tomb, Gunther cried and cried because of the loss of his best friend. Audrey had to give him tissues and chocolate bars in order for him to stop crying.
"Why are you crying Gunther?" Audrey asked the crying boy. "I promised that we'll find Kick."
"I'm crying because he's my best friend," Gunther replied sadly. "I'd just don't know what I'll do without him."
"It's okay Gunther. This jewel will lead us right to Kick."
"You really mean it?"
"Yes I really mean it. If we are to find Kick faster, I'd suggest that you stop crying and focus."
"Yes m'am."
Meanwhile at the main entrance, the class start to get worried about Kick and Gunther. They haven't come back for hours. As they continued talking about what caused the boys to disappeared, Giovanni and his men came towards them. He seems to be very happy than usual.
"Well, well, well, what have we here?" Giovanni said with a sneer. "A bunch of brats with sad faces and the adults can't bear to help them. Tsk, tsk, tsk. What a shame."
"You oughta stay away from this Giovanni!" Mr. Smith said. "That's none of your business."
"Oh it is MY business m'boy." Then he turned to Ms. Fitzpatrick. "Say my dear, would you and your class care to stay at my mansion for a while?"
"Only if Mr. Buttowski and Mr. Magnuson showed up." Ms. Fitzpatrick said. "We're not leaving without them!"
Upon hearing this, Giovanni turned away and left without having a glace. As he leaves, Howard came by and looks even more furious than ever.
"Hey Joseph!" Howard yelled at Mr. Smith. "Have you seen Audrey?"
"Um no," Mr. Smith replied. "Why?"
"Because I can't find her anywhere and I'd thought that you were with her! Let me give you an advice on Audrey."
"Well what advice is it?"
"STAY AWAY FROM HER YOU CREEP! She is MY fiancee! Understand?"
"Yes sir."
"GOOD!"
Then Howard left.
At the campsite where Howard and Audrey are, Howard is counting out his gold and jewels for amusement. He still wasn't happy about Audrey going off without telling him. As he counts his jewels, he noticed that something was missing.
Where did I left it? he thoughted. I'm sure it was there when I found those jewels.
Then he noticed that the jewel he lost was at the class' campsite near the tomb. He then went there to retrieve it. (1)
Meanwhile at the mansion, Giovanni is also busy counting his money and jewels. He then noticed that an important jewel was missing.
I must've lost that when I was in the camp. He thoghted.
He called on his men to watch over his home while he went out. He then walks to the camp and disappears. (2)
Meanwhile at the tomb, Gunther and Audrey searched from bottom to top for Kick but to no avail. As they were about to give up, Gunther accidentally activated a secret passage which leads to a big room.
The big room is painted in gold. There were treasure and furnitures in the room. At the center of the room was a sarcophagus which was already opened. Inside the sarcophagus was a mummy who appears to be 12-years old and has a golden helmet with red stripe in the middle on his head. He is also holding the Gem of Immortality.
"That mummy is Kickankhamun." Gunther whispered to Audrey.
"Look Gunther!" Audrey cried.
Beside the sarcophagus was a 12-year old boy who laid on the table as if he was dead. He had a white jumpsuit and a white helmet with red stripe in the middle. He is also half mummified (save for his head.) Gunther and Audrey are able to recognize him easily.
"It's Kick!" Gunther cried.
But before they could move closer to Kick, a fat figure appeared again.
"Who are you?" Audrey cried.
"I am," the figure said. "the murderer." (3)
"Aww biscuits." said Gunther.
(1) = Howard loses a random jewel and discovers that it was located at the class' campsite.
(2) = Giovanni also loses a jewel and had to retrieve it in the tomb. The jewel itself is very important to him.
(3) = The murderer is also the figure who kidnapped Kick in the last chapter. But when Audrey asked for his identity, he simply said that he's the murderer, nothing else.
So who's the murderer - Giovanni or Howard. It'll be revealed in the next chapter.
