Kenny x Butters, "You deserve better!"

Chapter 33: Explosions

Kenny was getting ready for school as he thought about yesterday. Kenny sighed; he knew Karen was probably right, even if she didn't know the situation; she knew him too well.

Though Kenny still didn't feel like he had enough strength to face his Butters again.

Kenny grabbed his Mysterion costume and wondered if he should just quit altogether, but that's when he felt and heard something in it.

Kenny raised an eyebrow and reached for where the noise came from on the costume.

Kenny unzipped a pocket and saw something that he had almost forgotten about: the drawing.

Kenny was silent for a minute as he just stared at it. "Butters...." Kenny's fingers traced the lines of the drawing, memories flooding back. It was such a wholesome drawing, like one a little kid would make.

Kenny tightened his hood as he thought; the drawing was from Butters, it was for Mysterion from Butters, it was to show love for him.

Kenny took a deep breath before making a decision; he wasn't quitting, he couldn't do that to Butters. He deserved, at the very least, an explanation.

Kenny put the drawing back before shoving it into his backpack. He swung it onto his shoulders and ran downstairs.

He walked Karen to school and dropped her off. Kenny didn't know where Butters would be, probably in school, so Kenny guessed that's where he would check. But before he could, he heard a loud bang.

Kenny turned around to face his school, only to see a huge hole on the side of it and screams ringing out.

Kenny's eyes widened, "Oh, shit." there was no time to put the costume on; this was an emergency.

Kenny threw off his bag, no costume on, and he ran over; he climbed through the hole to see a classroom; students were running out of it, and there was a bloody dead body of a teacher, a chunk of them completely taken out.

Kenny looked at them in horror before getting snapped out of it by another loud bang. Then another, then another, then another.

Kenny ran through the hall, trying to get people out and figure out what was happening. More bangs came, and more dead bodies there were. Kenny ran into a classroom that, other than a few damages from the other explosions, was fine.

Kenny looked around; maybe he could figure out what was happening. He looked around, trying to find something, anything, to explain why the room was exploding.

That's when he saw something; it would have been easy to miss or look over, but Kenny noticed it, a chip, a small chip.

Kenny carefully walked over only to see it start blinking. Kenny's eyes widened, and he jumped back. He quickly rushed out of the room just a few seconds before the chip exploded.

"Holy shit." he muttered, "Someone rigged the rooms." Kenny's mind raced for answers, but he then saw his own sister, rushing out of her classroom along with a few other young kids.

"Karen!" Kenny ran and grabbed Karen, scooping her up in his arms as he ran for an exit, explosions around them.

"Brother!?" Karen asks.

Kenny kicks a door in before spotting an exit, "Hold on. I'm getting you out of here!"

Kenny ran as fast as he could to the exit only to hear a loud laugh. He turned to see a TV that hadn't been exploded yet. It was broadcasting the school live; people were screaming and trying to exit. Outside he thankfully saw his friends safe, taking a deep breath of relief when safe.

The footage then changed to the square where the same thing was happening. Kenny's eyes widened, "This is happening everywhere?" he couldn't believe.

But that's when he heard a familiar laugh, it was of Professor Chaos, "Butters....no...."

Kenny was frozen; Karen shook him, but he just stood there, "Brother!? W-Why did we stop!? We need to get out!"

Kenny was frozen though, "Butters....I...." Kenny snapped out of it and ran for the exit; however, when he got there, it wouldn't open.

"Shit, shit, shit, shit!!" he looked at Karen, "Don't repeat that!"

"Shit!"

"Shit..."

Kenny tried kicking open but it was still stuck, "I swear to god!" Kenny looked around, but there was nothing, the explosions continued, getting closer, Kenny was starting to panic but he then felt a strong wind from behind him, and the light from outside flooded in.

He turned around and saw, "Night?"

"Hey, Mysterion." Night smiled.

"Night!" Kenny ran out to safety, "Oh thank you! Thank you!"

Kenny put Karen back down before hugging Night, "Thank you....wait! How did you know I'm-"

"Oh come on," Night interrupts, "You think I couldn't tell it was you? What kind of best friend would I be? I mean, who else would be protective over Karen other than her own brother?"

"Oh....well, I forget that you know me very well sometimes!" Kenny says

Karen looks up at Kenny, "Kenny, you're Mysterion!?"

Kenny looks down at her, "Hey..Karen... i-it's me..."

"You were Mysterion this whole time?" she asks, shocked.

"Y-Yeah....I am..." Kenny rubbed the back of his neck nervously.

Karen was silent before smiling and jumping for joy, "That's so cool!!! My brother is an immortal hero!!"

Kenny smiles and laughed, "Yeah, that is kind of cool, isn't it?" Kenny, for a brief few seconds, felt happy again, but there was still danger.
