Kenny x Butters, "You deserve better!"

Chapter 37: Tech

"Night, how are you on the bombs?" Kenny asks as he shields Night and Butters from nearby explosions.

"It seems the bombs are made of three main things," Night answers, "And surprisingly, one of those things is a pin."

"I didn't have anything else!" Butters says.

"It's okay, pins aren't a bad thing to use; grenades use them," Night says, picking a chip apart more, "Anyways, I think I got something that could help."

Night shows the pin, "Good thing this thing was a flawed, stuck one. Otherwise, we would be in bits." Night raised the chip up, "The chip's pin is what lets it explode. If the pin doesn't move, then it doesn't explode. We need to find a way to stop the pins on every chip from moving somehow."

Kenny looks at the chip; the pin on it was very exposed, presumably that's the same for every chip, right?

Butters, always eager to contribute, suggests, "What if we find something sticky? Like glue or tape? We could use it to keep the pins in place."

Night looks at him, "That could work... but where are we going to find that? Especially enough to cover a whole town of these things?"

Kenny scans the area, eyes darting between the destroyed buildings and scattered debris. "Maybe there's a hardware store nearby."

"Yeah, no, pretty sure any stores are already completely gone," Night says.

"Night! Aren't you good with tech and stuff? Can't you make something that will deactivate everything?" Butters asks.

"Probably, I made everything the heroes use, but where am I going to find the right materials? I can't just grab a piece of wood and start working. I need the material a watch or an iPhone has," Night says.

"Here," Butters says as he removes the watch Kenny gave him, "It's served its purpose."

"And you can use my normal flip phone; I'll just have to use my hero one for normal use for a while," Kenny says as he gives Night his Nokia.

Night smiles and grabs it, "Thanks, Butters. This should be enough. Cover me while I work."

Kenny and Butters nod as they cover Night from the explosions and flying debris.

Night works fast and hard as they try to figure out a way to tap into all the chips. Night quickly disassembles the phone and watch, scavenging their electronic components. With nimble fingers, they connect wires and circuits, devising a makeshift device that could interface with the chips causing the chaos.

Butters, looking nervously at the explosions in the distance, whispers to Kenny, "Do you think Night can really pull this off?"

Kenny glances at Night, focused and determined. "If anyone can, it's them. We just need to trust them and keep this area secure."

As Night completes the device, they look up at Kenny and Butters. "Okay, guys, this should do the trick. It's a signal jammer. Once activated, it should disrupt the communication between the chips and render them harmless."

Kenny smiles, "Great, do it!"

"Right-o!" Night said and tapped the new device a bit; suddenly, the device started moving a bit, and a loading sign popped up.

"Crap, why does it have to take so long!?" Butters yells.

"Calm down; it's only a minute," Night says as the loading sign meets its end, and it shows a complete sign.

Only a few more explosions went off before everything went still and silent before any of them knew it.

It was over.
