It's been a day since Stan died. We're done with running and chasing after Kenny. I still don't know how I'm even living still. I lost all hope but everyone keeps cheering each other up. I'm about to give up my persona and hang up the kite, maybe even burn the costume in general.
It's noon and we're all in school. Everyone who doesn't know what happened thinks that he's sick where as all of the rest know and try to act normal. When it's lunchtime, we go to the cafeteria and sit down at the table. We lost our appetite after what we saw. Stan smiling. We had to confirm the body and his body was charred and burnt but we still knew it was him. I'm lost. Everyone's lost. We just look at each other in despair and anger and many other emotions. All we can do is just wait for tonight so we can get Kenny and he's smart enough to not be here at school. He knows that we would've killed him right where he stands. We can't do that though as we stand by the book.
I don't want to do this anymore. I really don't. But, doing this for Stan is the right thing to do and getting Kenny captured for his actions is what we have to do. "Guys, what are we going to do?"
"I don't know, Kyle. I don't know. Time is running out, though," Cartman says.
"How?" Wendy asks.
"We don't know what Kenny's going to do before he strikes again. It could be now as we speak or as we sleep tonight. I don't know what else to say but we have to figure out what he's going to do before we sleep tonight," Craig says.
"Yes, but, with what he can do is what we can't. We have to ask people. Maybe someone who knows what to do," Cartman says.
"We need a time machine. We have to go back in time to fix everything," I say.
"How and where are we going to find one?" Wendy asks.
"Isn't there something, like, a legend that says that there's one person who can eat Freeman's Tacos and fart so great that they can mess with time?" Craig says.
"Oh my God! Everyone to Freeman's Tacos after school!" Cartman yells.
"Alright. See everyone there." I sigh and head back to class as the bell rings. The class began as normal with Mr. Garrison giving us a stupid lecture about the US economy. Like we'll have to learn about this later in life. We're way too far for us to even enter High School. I slowly close my eyes and drift off to sleep.
I start to dream about last night. I was outside the shed, watching as everything was happening. I see Kenny distracting the others to get away from the shed and him locking the shed. I can just feel like he's watching me, right now. I look around me and see that Kenny is about to light the shed on fire.
Without hesitation, I run to the shed but feel a grasp on my shoulder. I turn to my shoulder and see a burned hand and slowly look up from the arm to the hand and see Stan, burned and his face, just...burned off and pointing to the shed. I quickly turn back to the shed and see that I made it out with Phone Girl.
I start shaking and crying, trying to move but I couldn't. Kenny turns to me and laughs maniacally. He starts to approach me and I start to breathe heavily. I feel the grasp get tighter on my shoulders. Kenny then lights a match and stares me down, smiling and chuckling.
He turns his back and throws the match, making my clothes light up on fire. I panic and scream, making me open my eyes and fall to the ground, shaking and have a seizure.
Cartman and the others gather around me, trying to get me back. The teacher gets everyone back and calls the ambulance. I soon get transported to the hospital and wake up soon after an hour or later. Cartman, Wendy, Jimmy, Craig, Tweek, and everyone rushes into my room and gather around me.
"Dude, you ok? What happened? How did you end up like that?" Craig asks.
"Craig...I don't know or remember," I say.
"What do you remember last seeing?" Cartman asks.
"I think I was dreaming about last night. Kenny...Kenny burned me…" I cough and sit up.
"That's fucked up. He caused serious damage. Are you clear to come home?" Tweek asks.
"Yeah. My parents are coming right now. I'll be ok guys."
"Bullshit Kyle! Don't say that. You know you won't!" Wendy yells. "Look, if there's anything you want us to do-"
"Burn my shit. Burn it."
"What?" Cartman's eyes widen and leans in towards me. "You're fucking serious? We need you goddamnit!"
"I can't do this anymore. I just can't. I need time before I can do anything. Get Kenny for me. Get him and knock him out for me. Call him a bastard…"
"No. You're staying with us. We're going to make sure that you get to say that to him in his fucking face!"
"No, Cartman. My parents are going to not let me go out. You know how they are."
"Who gives a shit? We need you and We'll say that we're going to stay over at my place."
"Fine. They'll probably say no but if they do say yes, you better sneak in my costume. Meet me at my window, tonight."
"Kyle, I won't fit in your window."
"Damnit. Wendy?"
"Sure thing. I'll see you tonight, Kyle. Hope you feel better." Wendy walks out and leaves a couple flowers for me and turns around to wink at me then leaves the room.
"Dude...she has a crush on you." Craig tells me. He smiles at me then turns to the flowers.
"Yeah, I know. She needs to cope with the loss of Stan. It's understandable," I say and sigh. I know Wendy doesn't like me or never will but after what happened, she likes me because I saved her life and wanted to save Stan but that was just something that never happened.
"We should focus on getting you home. Let's go," Craig says. He turns to the door but sees the doctor come in and moves aside.
"Well kid, your parents aren't going to be able to make it. They're stuck in traffic after coming home from a trip so...your friends will be taking you home I suppose." He turns and leaves the room.
"Perfect. Let's go." I quickly get out of bed and put on my costume. The others change into theirs and we jump out the window of the room. Good thing I'm on the floor level of the hospital otherwise I would've died. I mean, I shouldn't have to die from heights because I'm a Human Kite. I literally fly.
It's nighttime now and everyone arrives back at Cartman's house. I stay over since my parents aren't home but I left a note for them saying I'm with Cartman and the others.
"Alright, this is the night. We were supposed to go to Freeman's Tacos after school but I got us some after I left. I got a burrito mix-up special for Kyle and shrimp and a variety of tacos and quesadillas and food for everyone. Kyle, eat the burrito and eat something else," Phone Girl says. She hands me the burrito and I take it.
"You really think that this is going to work? I mean, it's a good plan but like...I'm not too sure about this. I don't want to do this." I look at her and then the burrito.
"Do it, Kyle. You must do it."
"If you say so." I take a deep breath then let it out and start to eat the burrito. I feel my stomach rumble and gas fill up. "Oh shit! I think I feel it!" The gas continues to build up and I take control of it. I concentrate and let the gas rumble.
"Remember! Nagasaki!" Cartman screams.
I take a deep breath in and then fart so much that I start to see the world change at a quick pace. The fart itself was something bigger than anything that anyone can imagine. I finish farting and see that the guys and Wendy are here in the basement, looking surprised.
"Oh...my...God...check your phones everybody!" Cartman yells.
I quickly pull out my phone and the date changed by two days. "Holy shit! It worked! The fuck?"
"We need to go farther! We have to go farther into time so we can stop Kenny. Who knows what he has done," Craig says.
"We need to recreate that burrito. What do we have?" I say. I look around the food and see that the quesadillas and everything else can be used. "Wait, the food. Open up three quesadillas. Put one taco in each and fold them back up. Get a large tortilla and put all three into one."
"You sure that'll work? Or even fit?" Wendy asks.
"If I know anything, it'll work." They do as I told them and bring it to me. "Get me hot sauce and salt."
"Green or red?" Cartman asks.
"Both. Mix them into one." I look at them and nod.
"Alright. Let's do this." Craig mixes the sauces and gives me one of the containers.
"Thanks. Alright everyone, brace yourselves." I put the sauce over the burrito and start to eat it. I feel even more of a greater gas build up and eat more of the burrito. I take two more bites of the burrito and start to concentrate. Everyone is bracing themselves for what is about to happen. I fart again but much more bigger.
I feel the time move around me and vibrations fill my head and feel everything move. The others are screaming for it to stop but I know I can't stop it.
I wait for the fart to end and I breathe heavily, falling on my face. Cartman and Wendy help me up. "Thanks. What day is it?" I pull out my phone and throw it. "Dude! It's fucking one month! One damn month!" I was surprised and scared but mostly surprised because of how I was just in the hospital and next thing you know, it's already a month. How the fuck does that shit happen?
"Dude, your ass is powerful. We need to keep it in check. If you can fart forwards in time, then you can fart backwards in time. Let's do this. Let's go get Kenny." Wendy smiles and looks at me.
Cartman looks outside the basement window and sees flames in the grass and on the neighbor's houses. "I don't think so. Is Butters ok? His house is on fire and the whole city is on fire. I think Kenny did something or Kenny worked with Butters on something."
"Butters would set the city on fire. He wanted to do that to do a lot of his chaos work. Is he even alive at this point?" I ask.
"I don't think so. He would've called us as soon as something went wrong. Let's check the news." I turn on the TV and see that the news channels are all blank and filled with static. "Guys? TV stations are down. We're fucked. Kenny did something."
"Then it's time we go out and find his ass." Cartman goes out the window and everyone follows him. I go through the window and look at the city. It's all torn apart and destroyed. I tear up a bit but Cartman puts a hand on my shoulder and looks at me then nods. I nod back and we all go into the city. I take lead as I hold Stan's screwdriver. As we enter town, I see that Main Street has been destroyed and torn down by whatever or whoever did this. I hear noises and get into position. Everyone gets into position as well and laughter fills the street.
"Come on Mysterion! Let's dance motherfucker!" Wendy yells.
I stand in my spot and wait for Mysterion to arrive. He laughs and his minions come out to us and ambush us. "AMBUSH! FIGHT!"
"Fuck! We didn't prepare for this!" Craig yells.
"Just fight damnit! We need to get through his minions to survive!" I take a swing at one of his minions as the rest punch and kick their way to survival. I take off my kite and throw it towards everyone's direction and grant them protection. The kite comes back for us and we all use our powers to stop his minions and the ambush. I smile and laugh. "YEAH! TAKE THAT ASSHOLES!"
"I wouldn't be so happy about that victory yet, Human. Kite." Mysterion says.
"You'll pay for this! You'll pay for what you did to Stan!" I yell. He comes out and stands in front of us. I back up a few steps as everyone rushes at him. He just dodges and brings them to the ground and knocks them out.
He laughs and looks at me. "I'll pay for what I've done? HA! You'll die before you get to do anything. Your friends are knocked out, hopefully dead. So, it's just you and me. Fight me!"
I yell at him and try to attack him but he dodges my attack and throws me to a building. I grunt as I hit the building and see Mysterion attack me and punch me several times. I can't block his attacks but I know that I'll be able to attack him soon. I'm down, yes, but, I'll get him...soon…
My eyes slowly close as I hear Mysterion say, "You'll die here. I know you will. Good luck." He scoffs at me then starts to walk away. I slightly move but I feel something in me. An energy source. This...feeling is something that I've never felt before. I don't know what it is. I feel my hand grip the screwdriver tighter. I feel that Stan his here with us. With...me. I know that Stan is here now. I try to get up a few times but I get up and hold my side as I start to limp out of the building towards Mysterion.
"You...bastard...come get me!"
Mysterion looks at me and walks to me, knife in his hand. "You're the bastard!"
I close my eyes and take a deep breath. I open my eyes and look at him and pull the screwdriver up to my face. I run after him and he runs towards me. We clash our weapons against each other. I try and stab him with any open spots that I may have but he blocks my every move. I block his moves and kick him back. He looks at me and smiles. He jumps to me and tries to stab me through my head but I duck and try to get his back but he blocks it and tries to go for my stomach. I lean away but I quickly go and turn away from him and grabbing his wrist. I grab it and twist it and grab his neck with my other hand and try to force him down to the ground. He heavily resists the pressure but I put a lot more on. I kick the back of his knees to make him get down on his knees.
He puts pressure against mine to try and stick the knife into my wrist but I don't let him succeed. "Mysterion! You're making it harder on yourself! Come home!"
"Never!" He kicks my chin and sweeps my leg, knocking me down and stabs me through my chest. I gasp as he holds it in there, slowly puts more pressure and pushes it in more. He leans into my ear and whispers, "You'll die here. Just like I said... Bastard." He leans away and takes the screwdriver and stabs me through another part of my chest thats next to the knife and pushes it all the way into me where it sticks out the back. He gives a small kick to my chest, knocking me over. This is where I die. This is where I fail my mission to succeed. I'm sorry...Freedom Pals...I've...failed...you…
Cartman and the others rush over to me as Wendy examines my pulse. "NO! YOU CAN'T DIE!"
"What?! He's fucking dead?!" Cartman screams. He pushes Wendy aside and does CPR on me. "Come on Kyle! Fucking breathe asshole!"
"He's dead man! He's dead and we're stuck here! We're fucked! Fucked!" Craig starts to cry and begins to cry into Tweek's shoulder. Tweek brings his head closer to his shoulder and puts his hand on top of Craig's head, softly rubbing it back and forth.
"Craig...listen to me...listen to me ok? You've got to listen to me" Tweek turns to him and hold him by the shoulders. "Craig...you have me and everyone else here. You have me and everyone here. You know that I love you, right?"
Craig sniffles but softly nods. "Y-yes I-I know Tweek...I l-love y-you too…"
"We have to be strong, together." Tweek brings Craig's head into his shoulder.
"Cartman takes a knee besides me and grabs a handful of dirt and puts it over my body. He tears up and pounds his fist on the ground. "FUCK YOU MYSTERION!" He grabs a rock and throws it at the building. He screams and yells and starts throwing things everywhere. Wendy tries to calm him down where everyone is just confused on what to do now. "You know what? We go to the bastard himself and take over his minions and kill him! Let's go!"
"But we don't know where he is," Wendy says.
"If there's one place in town...it's the U-Place-It Storage. He's taken over Butters so we'll go get him there. He'll be there alright."
"You do realize it's only us, Token, Craig, Tweek, Jimmy and Timmy, right?" Wendy asks.
"So? We can try. We can try to do something at least. It's what Stan and Kyle would've wanted. Let's go," Cartman says as he looked at the sky.
