Kick Buttowski and the Curse of the Mummy
In the last chapter, the murderer is revealed to be Giovanni. However, Gunther had fallen into the pit that Howard opened, Audrey is taken away and Kick is trapped in the sarcophagus. Will Gunther save the day?
In the sarcophagus, Kick is slowly waking up. He noticed that he was mummified from feet to nose. He was also trapped in a sarcophagus (which was chained in the process from the last chapter.)
Where in the biscuits am I? Kick thoughted to himself after realizing that he can't speak. How did I end up here?
Kick then noticed that he was running out of air. In a few moments, he would suffocate.
Gotta get out of this! Kick thoughted. He struggled and struggled to free himself but to no avail.
He doesn't have much time.
Meanwhile in the pit, Gunther was holding a vine to keep himself from falling to his death. The THUD that the others from above heard was actually Gunther slamming into a wall after getting a grip from a vine.
"Thank goodness the vine was there," said Gunther.
Gunther slowly climbed back up to the room by using a vine. As he climbed, he can almost hear weak breathing. He stopped at his tracks so that he can hear it better. He stayed still for fear that Howard might come back. But it wasn't Howard's breathing, it was Kick's.
"KICK!" Gunther shouted at the top of his lungs.
Gunther quickly climbed all the way to the top and closed the pit. He then ran towards the sarcophagus and noticed that it was chained up. He tried everything to break the chains but to no avail. Kick is starting to lose oxygen.
"Hang on Kick!" Gunther cried. "I'll save you!"
But no matter how hard Gunther tried, the chains remained unbroken.
F-feeling w-weak, Kick thoughted as he breathes weakly. Losing o-oxygen...
Just when all hopes seem to be lost, Gunther tried one more time. He noticed an iron stick at the floor. He picks it up and bangs against the chains. This time, the chains broke free, letting Gunther lift the lid up.
Unfortunately, by the time Gunther opened the lid, it was already too late. Kick had somehow passed out.
Meanwhile, Giovanni, Howard, Audrey and Kickankhamun are walking to other parts of the tomb.
"LET ME GO!" Audrey cried as she was being pulled by Howard.
"Stop struggling," Howard ordered. "You'll make things worse."
Just then, another light came from a distance. It was Mr. Smith.
"Well, well, well," Giovanni said. "If it isn't Mr. Smith."
"Where are they?" Mr. Smith cried.
"Where are they who?"
"You know what I mean?"
"Oh the stunt kid and his chubby viking friend?"
"Yes. WHERE ARE THEY?"
"I'm afraid you're too late."
"WHAT DID YOU DO TO THEM YOU SON OF A - - "
"I'd hold my tongue if I were you." Howard said angrily.
"What did you do to them?" Mr. Smith said once more. "ANSWER ME!"
"Oh let's just say that I wasted them in the process." Giovanni answered.
"You don't mean?"
"Yes Mr. Smith," Audrey said with sorrow. "They're dead."
"YOU MURDERER!" Mr. Smith yelled at Giovanni. "I'LL KILL YOU IF IT'S THE LAST THING I'D DO!"
Giovanni turned to Kickankhamum.
"What are your orders?" Kickankhamun asked.
"Dispose this wretched man at once!" Giovanni ordered while pointing at Mr. Smith.
"As you wish."
"NO!" Gunther cried as he unwrapped his best friend. "No Kick! Don't leave me!"
Kick had passed out once after the lid was open. Gunther was sadden that he was too late to save his best friend. Kick was his only friend in the world.
"Kick," Gunther said while hugging Kick tightly like a teddy bear. "Come back Kick. Don't go!"
Still Kick won't wake up.
"Kick." Gunther cried once more. For the next few minutes, Gunther is holding Kick tightly as if he would not let go. He cried and cried as Kick remains still. One hour later when all hopes seems to be lost, Gunther decided that it's best to carry Kick back to the camp and face the facts. But just when Gunther was about to scoop him up, Kick coughed.
"Gunther?" Kick said weakly. "Is that you?"
"KICK!" Gunther shouted joyfully. "You're alive!"
"Why would I?"
Gunther gave Kick a tight hug but soon lets go of him once after he noticed that Kick can't breathe.
"What happened here Gunther?" Kick asked.
"Well," Gunther said. "After you were taken away, Audrey and I decided to go look for you and the murderer."
"Did the class know that you were gone?"
"Not yet. Plus we've discovered who the real murderer is."
"Who?"
"Giovanni. Y'know the businessman who makes fun of Mr. Smith and likes our teacher."
"Oh. And Howard?"
"He's working for him in return for gold. What a greedy guy!"
"What about Audrey? Is she all right?"
"Sadly Kick, they took her after you were sealed in the coffin. Giovanni also reawakens Kickankhamun and gets him to do his bidding."
"Well that's bad news Gunther. We've gotta stop this mummy and save Audrey ... before it's too late!"
