Chapter 14: Escape

Professor Chaos was handcuffed and brought into the jail cell next to Kyle. He looked at him and sneered.

"So, this is Mysterion's decoy? Well, you sure did a convincing job."

Kyle said nothing as Commissioner Yates walked in his cell and sat down. "You're not Mysterion, are you?"

Kyle shook his head. "I'm his decoy; I cover for him when he's not around."

"That was you at the press conference?"

Kyle nodded. "Mysterion wanted me to keep his identity save, so I agreed to help him."

"Do you know his identity?"

"Yes, I do. All of his friends do, but I'm not telling you who the hell he is."

Commissioner Yates nodded and opened the cell door. "You're free to go. Tell Mysterion thank you for me."

Kyle nodded and left.

Yates walked into Professor Chaos's cell and locked the door. Chaos smiled.

"Evening, Commissioner."

Yates nodded across the table and Mysterion appeared, smashing Chaos's head against the table.

"You wanted me. Here I am," Mysterion said.

"You let the mayor and the district attorney die. And you let Kyle take your place."

"Why the hell do you want to learn my identity?"

"Because once people see you for who you really are, they'll cast you out. You'll stop being a symbol."

"You caused them to die, indirectly. You're sick."

He left and went into Commissioner Yates' office.

"Where will you take him?"

"We'll transfer him to the county prison and try him in—" He stopped talking when a blast shook his office."What the fuck was that?"

They ran to the jail cells and stopped in their tracks. A huge hole blast caused the cell door to blow open and land across the room. Professor Chaos stepped out, holding a gun to Kyle's chest.

"Damn!" Yates yelled in shock.

Professor Chaos grinned evilly. "If you two move another muscle, I'll blow his brains out!" he threatened.

"Don't do this, Chaos," Mysterion said. "Let Kyle Broflovski go."

Chaos grinned even wider. "Take off your mask and show me who you really are, and not some decoy."

"I'd rather die than show you my identity."

Chaos sighed. "Very well; as you wish." He aimed his gun at Mysterion and fired. The bullet hit Mysterion straight in the chest and he fell to the floor, blood pouring from the wound. Chaos laughed and looked at Kyle.

"Oh my God! You killed Kenny...I mean Mysterion!" Kyle yelled. "You bastard!"

Professor Chaos laughed again and looked at the commissioner. "Looks like you could use a blast!"

He threw a grenade at Yates, who jumped out of the way. The grenade exploded, blasting a hole in the wall. Chaos laughed even louder as he jumped outside, taking Kyle with him.

Yates got up and looked around. Professor Chaos was gone.

"Shit! He escaped!" he said to himself. He looked at Mysterion and gasped in awe. The bullet fell out of his chest as the blood soaked back into his body. He got up and looked at Yates.

"What the hell happened to Professor Chaos, Yates?"

"He escaped with Kyle Broflovski."

Mysterion growled. "Well, it looks like I have a villain to catch!"

He jumped out the window and flew out into the night.
