I don't own South Park, Trey Parker and Matt Stone do.
Kyle and Heidi stood apart from the costumed teenagers, both unsure of what to say.
"Uhh..." Kyle Began.
"Hey." Said the Black Cat, now it had a more humanoid appearence. "We are the-"
"Phantom Thieves of Hearts!" Heidi exclaimed. "So you were the ones who sent those broadcasts."
"Yes, we did." responded Futaba.
"Why the hell would you do that!?" cried Kyle. "Why would you broadcast that video of my dad's wrongdoings!?"
"Well it seems to me that piece of shit deserved it given everything he put everyone through." snarked Ryuji.
"Still," growled Kyle. "You tore my family apart! What do you want from me now?"
"Look," sighed Makoto. "We did not come here to tear families apart. We only came here to expose their sins and wrongdoings. Randy starting the Pandemic, and Gerald's internet trolling, The sins of those two adults has gone on too long, and they haven't been punished for it. So we decided to do it for them."
"But shouldn't you just change their hearts like you do with others?" Heidi asked.
"It isn't that simple." responded Yusuke. "The people of South Park, they are not like the people back in Japan. These are unprecedented people, with unknown levels of fame. So we sent the broadcasts to lower their popularity to make it easier to infiltrate their palaces."
"But why did you broadcast PC Principal?" asked Kyle.
"Well...we might have gone a little but too far with that," sighed Ann. "To be honest, none of us liked the way PC Principal abused you guys."
"But when Mona-Chan figured you two out, he said maybe you could help us." smiled Haru. "You're Mr. Broflovski's son, you can help us."
"Even so, do you really expect me to help you?" Kyle sneered.
"Think of it this way." Morgana assured. "Once we change his heart, he will become a completely better person.
"Completely Better person."...Those words echoed in Heidi's head. Then she looked back at a memory of her and Cartman.
...
"Eric I want you to start talking to me, you can't always just ignore me." She pleaded.
"Yes Heidi..." Eric growled through clenched teeth.
"I'm serious, i'm supposed to be your girlfriend I need you to treat me like it."
"SHUT UP, WHORE!" He then pushed her into the road where a car was pulling up. The driver stopped Immediately upon seeing her in the road.
"Sorry!" he cried as he waited for her to walk back onto the road and then continued driving."
Heidi looked at Eric with a hurt, aghast look before turning around and storming off.
...
She then looked up and said.
"Hold on guys, can Kyle and I discuss this in private?"
"Sure." was the flat response from Ren.
Heidi dragged Kyle back to the alleyway and spoke to him.
"Heidi, I don't think we can trust these guys...even if they're the heroes in their games."
"But don't you see Kyle?" They can help us! Your father never apologized or learned from his mistakes right? So chances are he's likely to do something like this again. But with their help, Gerald won't make the same mistake again!"
Kyle still looked hesitant.
"Admit it..." Heidi sighed. "You would have wanted them to do the same for me while I was acting like Eric."
"Yep," Kyle sighed, but then he perked up. "Wait...this isn't about just changing my dad's heart is it. It's also about changing..."
Heidi looked ashamed. "Eric's heart." she sighed.
Kyle gasped. "Heidi, why!?"
"Because! Even after everything that's happened, I just still can't forget how nice he used to be. Nobody had ever seen that much kindness from him. Don't you think that's great?"
Kyle looked unsure.
"And, If we do change his heart, he won't be a bad boyfriend to me, or pick on you for being Jewish anymore."
Kyle pondered that for a bit. These were teenager criminals they were dealing with but the plus side came with a reformed father, and a Cartman that would never pick on him or his friends again but would be dating the nice girl that he likes.
He looked up at Heidi.
"Ok you've convinced me."
"YAY!" she cheered.
Then the two of them walked over back to the group.
"So," said Morgana, "Do we have a deal?"
Kyle looked at them with a stern look on his face and extended his hand towards Ren.
"Deal." he growled begrudgingly.
October 2, 2021.
Sharon walked downstairs and turned on the TV.
joined Stan and Shelly on the half table.
"Morning kids," she Smiled.
"Hey mom." Shelly responded.
"Hello..mo..m" Stan said weakly.
Sharon looked at him with a concerned look on her face. Why was he acting so sluggish right now?
Even the dog Sparky knew something was up because he was backing away from Stan.
"So, Kids." Said Sharon. "I was thinking, since the autumn fest is tomorrow. Stan maybe you could participate in it like you did two years ago."
"Su..re Mom," Stan said in a slow voice. "I ha..ve a song I...want to p..play."
"Jeez, Stan you not sleep tonight?" Shelly asked.
"Shelly!" Sharon scolded lightly. "All right Stanley, you go gather up your little friends and work on your song, I can't wait to hear it!"
Stan got up and slumped to the door in a slow, broken motion. He weakly opened the door and walked outside.
Sharon looked after him and sighed to herself.
Was Stan really going to be OK, considering everything he had gone through.
Emily Marx walked across the street until she came to the house she was looking for.
She knocked on the door and Mrs. White answered it.
"Oh, hello little girl." she smiled, "What brings you here?"
"Hi," Emily responded. "My name is Emily...Emily Marx, I dated Jason for a while."
"Oh yes the Marx Girl." Mrs. White smiled. "Yeah, you and Jason did date for a while until you broke up."
"Yeah, sighed Emily. "Anywise I was wondering if I could lay some of his old stuff in his room. I found it at my house."
"Sure, honey step right in." Emily walked in with an old shirt and a jacket of Jason's at her house. She then passed Crystal and smiled,"Hi Crystal."
"Hi, Emily." Crystal babbled. Emily then noticed a small Mexican boy in a high chair next to Crystal.
"Hello there. And you are?"
"Oh, this is Julio." Mrs. White explained. "We adopted him after Jason died. We got him from the ICE Detention Center."
"OK, said Emily, she looked at Julio and said "Hello little guy."
"Quiero Mi mama." Julio whimpered.
"Bien, Gracias, Y tu?" Mrs. White responded. "Isn't he a cutie?"
"Sure," Emily sighed uneasy. "So he only speaks Spanish?"
"Yes,"
"Oh, I guess I'll have to learn it then if I want to understand him."
"Oh, you don't need to." Mrs. White said, "All we have to say to them is 'bien gracias y tu?'".
At that moment, Mr. White entered the room.
"Angel, darling, where is the Laundry detergent?" he asked rather rudely. He then noticed Emily and said. "What are you doing here?"
"Mr. White," Emily said "If I may, they're having a protest down in the streets tomorrow...something about protesting against Tegridy Farms because they started the Pandemic."
"They are!" Bob exclaimed "Well then we've got to protest against that protest. Thank you Jason's old girlfriend."
"That wasn't why I came here." Emily sighed. "I was wondering if I could join you guys. You know to honor Jason's memory (even though he wasn't really a fan of you guys and therefore I shouldn't as well)."
"Well, sure sweetie." said Angel, "You come over here Tomorrow and we'll all drive over to the protest together."
"That's perfect, I can't wait." Emily cried. "Thank you!" She then gave Crystal a small kiss on the forehead and patted Julio on the top of his and then ran out the door.
"Well at least someone cares about the Whites." Bob smirked.
The autumn fest was held that Saturday.
People were gathered all around playing games, and eating food. However there were a small handful of people who were still wearing masks and/or were social distancing. But most people were grouped together and maskless.
"Nichole, that is a cute doll you've got there!" Token pointed at the small purple doll body Nichole was holding.
"Thanks." Nichole smiled. "When the Pandemic struck, I've been bored out of my mind so I took up a new hobby: Doll Making."
"That's so cool!" Token grinned. "You think you can make one for me?"
"Maybe when I get home." Nichole told him.
Mayor McDaniels was on the stage and she announced. "All right South Park, that was "Will you sing for me" by the Ruffin Tumbles, now let's hear it for Crimson Dawn.
In the audience Wendy squealed. "Oh, this is going to be so fun! I can't wait to see what Stan's got this year!"
"Are you sure you want to hear this Wendy?" asked Bebe, who was holding a small glass tank with a tiny golden-yellow crab inside "Two years ago he sang a crazy rock song."
"Besides," Red piped up as she was sitting next to Kevin. "He's still the son of the person who started COVID."
"Oh give it a rest now." Tammy complained. "I haven't seen Kenny in like what...Twelve years. I want to see what he's been up since we last met."
"Now that Jimmy and I are dating again." Smiled Millie, "We've got a lot of catching up to do."
"Same here." Said Charlotte through her Skype on Millie's phone which Millie was also holding. "I may have caused you all a lot of trouble because of breaking up with Butters. But the least I did to make up for it was to reconnect with him."
Lola sat next to them with a small red clay golem in her short arms. "Well I'm only here because Jenny is singing with them."
Then the curtain opened to reveal an emotionless Stan standing in the middle of the stage.
"H..ey, South..P..ark. We're Crims..on dawn and thi-is is a song abou..t how my life is n..ow..without everything perfect...it's being..broadcast live so that a certai..n someone can see how I fe..el."
He slumped to the side and everyone took their positions. Jenny Simons towards the Microphone, Kenny with the Bass, Butters with the Guitar and Jimmy with the drums.
They began to play a rock melody from the video-game Drakengard 3: Egregori's Battle Theme. The stage lights flashed blue as it shone on the band as Stan stood front stage-right still stone faced and empty looking.
Jenny began to sing.
samayoi inochi ga ima mo hoeru (The wandering life even howls at this moment.)
shizumishi hanabira tooku mieru (I can see petals sinking in the distance.)
ochite wa ukabishi kage tomo odori o (They seem to dance with the shadows as they fall.)
utaishi otome ga yami ni taeru (The maiden's song persists through the darkness.)
ushinau kotoba ga itsuka kieru (Lost words shall always disappear.)
hikari no kage mau yami iru yamai ga (Shadows of light dance, a sickness from the darkness is near.)
(As she sang A small tv screen flashed to life behind them playing various scenes from various episodes of Season 22-Season 23 and the Pandemic Special involving Tegridy Farms with crazy sped up audio.)
People were staring shocked at what was going on.
At PC's house, PC and Strong Woman were covering their ears from the loud rock music.
The PC babies were crying.
"Oh, great!" PC shouted. "They're crying because it's not right for english people to be singing Japanese themed songs!"
"NO!" Strong Woman cried over the rock. "They're crying because they actually hate how loud the rock music is."
At the Police Station, Officer Barbrady was covering his ears howling in pain...at first but the others were rocking in style to it, dressed in dark leather and rocking their heads back and forth.
"Dude, this music is fucking sweet!" cried one cop.
"I never want it to stop!" shouted another.
"Everyone stop your fucking dancing!" screamed Harrison Yates as all the cops stopped at once.
"Phew, thank you." smiled Officer Barbrady.
"And watch me do it!" Yates started raving insanely as the music continued over Barbrady's wails.
Randy and Gerald were watching the song from Tegridy Farms.
"Wow, he's really got talent," Gerald said in awe. He then noticed Jenny singing and said "Excuse me Randy I've gotta use the bathroom". He ran to the bathroom with a laptop in hand, a radio and some wine.
The pitch of the music changed sounding more like Raphael's Battle theme. Which Blocked out the rock music of Smokin by Boston from the upstairs bathroom.
Randy started at the stage with the five kids singing.
"Wow," Randy sighed in surprise. "He really doesn't ever care about anything but himself."
But deep down he felt otherwise about the statement he just said.
The singing continued loudly as everyone just stared shocked at what was happening.
Mayor Mc. Daniels hurried over to the stage and unplugged the sound and snatched the Microphone from Jenny.
"Uh, thank you Crimson Dawn for that, inspiring piece," she laughed nervously. "Now up next we have..."
At that moment she was cut off with a huge crows of buzzes on phones including hers.
Everyone looked at their phones and gasped.
On Twitter, someone had photoshopped a picture of Jenny Simons with a penis in her mouth. And not just someone...Skankhunt42!
Jenny looked angry and mortified.
Lola quickly ran up to her girlfriend and said. "What the hell, why is Mr. Broflovski doing this now, we already know it's him!"
"Why won't he stop!" cried Annie as she buried her face into Daniel's chest and wailed.
"Because nobody would know where he is!" Stan cried out in realization.
"We'll never find him, can we?" Wendy sighed, "And we'll never get him to stop."
Back in the Metaverse Kyle's phone rang and he took in the photo of Jenny.
"God Dammit, Dad!" Kyle groaned. "Why are you doing this again?"
"He's not going to stop." Heidi sighed. "Even though he's been exposed he's not going to quit."
"Chin up you two." Makoto said as she put her hands on both of their shoulders. "That's why we're doing this to get him to stop."
"And to make Eric a better boyfriend." Heidi reminded.
"Besides," Morganna smiled. "Because of this tweet Oracle was able to trace the location of that message to where your father is, Kyle."
"We'll be able to mail him the calling card and change his heart." Haru assured.
"I've got it!" Futaba shouted. "The location of that tweet was from out in the country side."
Kyle and Heidi looked at each other.
October, 3 2021
The next morning Emily walked over to the White's house with a book in her hand.
She knocked on the door and Angel answered it. "Oh, hi Emily." she smiled.
"Hi, Mrs. White."
"Hello, Emily, you're just in time. We're just getting ready for the protest."
Mr. White, Crystal, and Julio walked out with some signs.
"Oh hey, you showed up." Bob said nonchalantly. "All right everyone, into the car."
They all climbed into the car and drove off.
Unbeknowst to them, a shadowed figure was watching them from the shadows.
"Justo tu esperas, White familia. Venganza estarán mío." the person said.
