A/N: So. I've decided not to put an exact limit on chapters. That's no fun. I'll just let my juices flow and do what the hell I want. Problem? Chapter 3 now? Kay

"What a DICK!" Cartman shouted, waking up from his dazed state in the infirmary. Kyle jumped a little bit in his chair and glanced over to Cartman, rolling his eyes. Personally I was tired of everyone and their little angst fest after that attack. I mean, I can't lie and say I wasn't a little concerned about everyone. Except Cartman, I didn't care that much about him. Butters was here, you know, to take care of him. Naomi was livid when we came back, clinging to Cartman's body and barking questions to Sadie. Her hair was already a dark blue, which means she was deeply upset. She narrowed her eyes at Naomi. I knew Tuesday and her didn't like Naomi that much, didn't know why, but I flashed Kyle a 'please get your cousin before she kills Naomi' look, so he patted her on the back and led her to the television. The Outsiders were on, so she relaxed a little bit. Her hair is still blue, and it keeps getting bluer.
What I'm really worried about is Tuesday. I haven't seen her since the fight, and she turned her locator off. I didn't mean to hurt her feelings, not that I care about her feelings, I just hope she doesn't get her ass into any trouble. I'd be really, really mad if something happened to her and I couldn't protect her. I just don't know what the hell her problem is, most people would like it if Mysterion wanted to be around them all the time. Not that I want to be around her all the time, I just think that if I have to work with a citizen with no powers, I gotta protect them. It's a super hero image thing. I'll find her after her temper tantrum cools off, I didn't want to deal with it right now. I had bigger things to deal with, like that weird dude that came out of no where.
Who was he?
"You're telling me you guys got your asses kicked. By some guy. In a black cape? Are you serious? I knew I should've gone down there!" Naomi exasperated, throwing her arms in the air. The black haired girl was obviously prone to proving herself, but this wasn't a matter of pride. Yeah, our asses were kicked, but we had a new villian on our hands. I didn't know what to make of him, but he obviously had some sort of thing with Tuesday. She tried to warn Cartman like, twelve seconds before he froze him, but she was too late.
"Where's Tuesday?" Kyle asked, and everyone turned to face me. "I haven't seen her since you insulted her."
"Shut up, I didn't insult her." I spat, frowning. I didn't insult her, I let her know that she was reckless and I needed to watch her.
"You know the reason she ran off was the prove herself, right? She's impulsive, she's gonna do whatever it takes to make people know she's fucking serious." Naomi chimed in. She rolled her eyes at my dumbfounded expression and twitched her mouth to the side.
"She's right, you know. You doubt her to much." Sadie sighed. "All she wants is to impress you, you idiot."
"You should talk, Sadie. At least she doesn't trip over her ass to please some Jew hater." I scoffed. Her hair turned a deeper blue.
"Oh, Sadie wait I-I'm sorry-"
"You ASSHOLE! I don't know WHAT she sees in you!" She shouted, lunging towards me. I stepped back a little while Stan and Naomi held her back. "God what is wrong with you? I swear, the only reason I'm hear is to keep your impetuous ass out of trouble! Jesus you fucking SUCK!"
What the hell is it with girls saying I suck? I'm not gay, the fuck?
"..You guys can't possibly be fighting about Tuesday, can you?" I heard a voice say, coming from the top of the stares. It was Mallory. No, not Malory, Mallory. As in Sacremento. We usually call her Lory around the other Malory to avoid confusion. Anyways, 'Lory', was coming down the stares, cracking sarcastic smart ass comments as usual. She was wearing her black queens t-shirt with her jeans vest over it, and her fingerless-gloved hands were curled into casual fists.
"We do it all the time, anyway. What's up Lory?" Stan inquired the dark haired girl, after restraining Sadie. She shrugged.
"Meh, I saw her running towards north. I asked her what was going on, and she said she was investigating. So, you know, I figured it was one of your guys' stupid games, so I came to tell you." Lory announced, walking casually towards the computer. My eyes bulged. She was going up north? Alone? She gently pushed aside the other Malory, who was searching for Tuesday on the computer and started typing some stuff in. We all just stared at her.
"Oh and by the way" Lory stated, shaking us out of our staring, "She told me to google a four leafed clover. Dunno why, she just asked. NoW I gotta go, I can't be seen with you losers- Leo!" She shouted, seeing Butters come out from the infirmary. I quirked my eyebrows up, Sadie smirked, and Kyle just stood there, shaking his head.
"Hi Leo! I-I didn't know you were gonna be here..." She gushed, playing with Butters' arm when he came near her. She hugged him, and he blushed.
"Hiya Lory! I-I didn't know you were gonna be here! I'm playing Doctor!" Butters replied. Lory's face fell.
"Oh...with who?"
"Oh gross, not like that. Pervert. He's helping Cartman's dumb ass for charging towards a fucking ninja" Kyle exasperated. Lory sighed, relieved. Suddenly, the computer started beeping and flashing the red light again. Lory typed in the code word and unlocked it.
According to the computer, some masked person was seen in the forest striking up a racket to the nearby towns people. He wasn't hurting anyone, but a lot of people seem to be shaken up by his presence. Public disturbance? Didn't seem like such a big deal to me. We could let the police handle tha-
Holy shit. A masked trouble maker. He was wearing something, the camera was fuzzy, but I knew it was him.
"Sadie, Stan, can you guys come with me?" I turned around to ask them. They nodded at the same time. "Naomi, watch Cartman. Kyle and Malory, check up on that clover. Try to figure out why it's significant to anything. Lory and Butters, play doctor. And no, Lory, NOT with each other. Keep Cartman under control. We got a mission."
"Why the hell are their trees in the god damn forest?" Sadie asked, scrunching up her nose as she slashed her way through the shrubbery. I was in front, and my hood was down because it was a little hot in the forest. I know, right? Hot in South Park? Probably to everyone else it would would still be cold, but the slightest temperature change to us is hot. Maybe it was because it was 8 pm, I've always heard that it gets warmer in South park after 7. Anyways, Stan was behind me, with Sadie behind him.
"It's a forest, Sadie. Plants and bugs and stupid stuff like that live here. Even though I hate this place." Stan replied, cutting through a large, green bush blocking our pathway. "God damn christmas anti christ blood orgy animals.."
"It's not that it's a forest, Stan. I just hate all the overflowing flora and fauna around the place. I mean the unbalanced residue of each and every pollen that's flowing around the place is enough to cause a inward explosion of brain activity and sinus sensitivity. It will totally infiltrate your nasal passage and block your-"
"Sadie, ssshhh" I grimaced. She casually ran passed me. I frowned and followed her, swiftly trying to keep up with her pace. She jumped over a fallen tree trunk and landed on her feet, which I found strangely ironic. Usually she would have fallen or tripped over something by now with her clumy sel-
"OW! GOD. DAMN IT!"
Oh, there we go.
She tripped over some roots behind the tree trunk, and was sprawled on the ground. I couldn't help but laugh at her as Stan laughed with me. She glared at us as she tried to get up, smoothing out her leotard with her hands and holding her chin up. She fixed her black hat and continued walking forward a little out of sight.
"So, Kenny." Stan started, as we continued to leap over rocks and fallen trees. I shot my grappling hook from my arm and swung over a branch while Stan ran over it. "What's going on with you and Tuesday? Really, I'm serious."
"Woah!" I fell off balance for a second when he said Tuesday's name. I gritted my teeth. "Nothing. I protect her because her brother asked me too. He wants her to play with us, but he doesn't want her fucking herself up."
"Come on, man. It's me. We've been friends forever, not that that really matters or whatever. Seriously, what's up?"
"I'll tell you what's up when you tell me why you haven't noticed Malory yet." I said, landing on the muddy floor of the forest and running towards Sadie, who was a good four or five feet in front of us. I couldn't see Stan, but I knew he had a confused look on his face.
"Notice Malory? What do you mean?"
"GOD, Stan! You're such a guy!" Sadie called over her shoulder. Before either of us could interrogate Stan any further, we heard Sadie swear again, followed by an unexpected ''oomph''. Clumsy ass must have bumped into something.
"Owwww" She whimpered, but tried to cover it up when we got closer. "Who the hell put this wall here?"
I looked up at the stone slab wall Sadie had bumped into. It was a white washed wall with green vines curling all around it. A few roses were poking out of the cracks in between the vines. It was a pretty wall, but you can tell it was like fifty something years old. Stan stared at the wall as Sadie rubbed her palms against the wall, looking for something, I just didn't know. She found dents and scratches, but nothing interesting happened. She didn't find anything. Stan looked up.
"Holy shit, dude. Do you think there's something over there?" He asked me. I shrugged.
"Maybe. I'll check it out." I backed up a few paces and started re-loading the grappling hook Tuesday had given me for christmas,because she gave everyone a weapon that she though ''suited their personality'', when I heard Sadie scoff.
"Why do you always gotta do the fun stuff? I wanna help out too, dick face." She smirked and pushed me out of the way. Usually I would let a girl do whatever she wanted, just so I could see her body move. But, this was my mission, mostly. I wanted to peer over that wall. I wanted the satisfaction.
"Sadie, I want to climb over the wall. I have the hook, and you can't climb"
"How do you know if I can climb or not? Stalker?"
"You're clumsy and you might fall off the edge. And die."
"You don't know that. Why you gotta be such an ass most of the time?"
"Sadester, come on now. You're too bad ass for this weak ass mission. Let me handle it okay?" I mused, loading my grappling hook again. She frowned and stomped her foot in a childish manner and flopped on the ground, mumbling something about being a dick and sucking ass and how she didn't know what she saw in me blah blah blah. I felt my hook launch and before I knew it, I was in the air then on top of the wall. I peered over the other side, I was clearly about eight or so feet above ground, but I could make it. I braced myself for impact as I leaped onto the other side. I landed in something soft. More bushes and trees.
They were kind of small trees, big enough to cover the wall I just jumped over and to block site from the other wall adjacent to that one. It was like a pattern; forest, wall, forest, wall. I was on the second forest in between the two walls. Sadie and Stan could not hear me and my communicator was being blocked by something. I didn't need them anyways, they could very well stay put. I hopped off of the thick bush I landed on and began walking, pushing my way through more annoying shrubbery. The moon was out now, and it was full.
I've been walking through these trees for about 20 minutes now. My radar still said that there was someone ahead of me, even if I couldn't see them. I looked for the other wall that I'd seen when jumping off the first one, it seemed to be further away than I had thought. I was beginning to think that this mission was pointless and that I should turn around, when suddenly, I heard something.
I quickly ducked under the nearest tree stump that was closest to the wall, where I heard the noise. I couldn't see anything as I strained to listen for the sound again. I'm so sure that the noise was the dark figure, sneaking up on me. I reached for my firecrackers and prepared to hurl them, when I glanced up, and saw something. Someone, actually. Instinctively, I hurled the fire crackers him, but he back flipped and landed smoothly at the edge of the wall.
What was he doing?
He scurried down the wall, further into the forest, trying to shake me off. I followed him, silently but surely. He wasn't going to get away from me this time. I was about to launch my grappling hook again, locking my eyes on my target, firecrackers in my left hand, grappling hook in my right, when suddenly, my jaw hung open, my body unexpectedly numb, my eyes bulging out of their sockets-
I dropped my firecrackers.
