Rise of the Dodger

(Sorry something went wrong with the first "thread" it screwed up somehow -_- )

Rise of the Dodger

Every town needs a hero, someone to keep an eye out for danger, one to protect all who are helpless, a guardian to be there in an instant at the cry of the good in peril. South Park was no exception it had its own team of heroes to protect its civilians against the villains that wondered the streets.

The past few nights a new figure appeared in the shadows, a new hero had made himself part of the good vs. evil scene. During the day he was a 9yr old boy in South Park Elementary’s 4th grade class at night he transformed; he viewed himself as a hero, a protector, a guard dog. He called himself the Dodger.

It was an unusually mild night when a shadow darted through the empty streets of South Park. The new hero was making his new rounds as his new role of the Dodger. A dark, deep blue hooded cape cloaked most of his face, along with a black mask to further seal his true identity. Only his eyes were revealed. He also wore dark blue gloves, a plain blue shirt with “TD” in red lettering; and a pair of red pants completed his wardrobe. Words of encouragement were running through his mind.

"I've decided this town could use a protector, a watcher…" He announced as he scaled up a fire escape and on top of a building. "A guard dog, a guard Mutt hence I’ve became the Dodger. With the spirit of the dog I watch and protect all that is good and fight all that is wrong. I am…." The Dodger suddenly stopped short as he had ventured onto the roof top of another structure he caught a silhouette in the moonlight watching over the town as he had intended.

“Hey…..who the hell are you?!” The Dodger demanded both he and the other figure were at a good distance and neither could make out the other.

The other being didn’t move from his spot, he only glanced over his shoulder to see who had disturbed his vigilance.

“I am the protector this town.” A deep voice responded.

“Aww….but…but I’m the protector of this town…” The Dodger groaned as he walked up and circled around the other person to get a closer look. A quick inspection revealed to Dodger that he indeed knew this guy.

“Woa….it’s you!” Dodger said with a bit of fan spazz in his voice. “You’re Mysterion!”

A famous hero Mysterion was, being one of the original protectors of South Park he had become a legend. No one knew his true identity he had supposedly “revealed” himself yet unknown to the public they had the wrong suspect for a Kyle Broflovski had taken the fall for him and only he “knew” Mysterion’s real identity. With his secret still safe Mysterion was able to return to his role as the town’s hero but no one other then Kyle knew this.

“Hey….didn’t they arrest you?” Dodger asked

"...you could say that." Mysterion replied

“Cool…well you have to retire I’m the new hero now.” Dodger said with a rather intimidated tone.

“Oh..? And who are you supposed to be?” Mysterion asked

“I’m the Dodger!” The young hero wanna be replied puffing out his chest to make himself look like a strong presence.

Mysterion just scoffed he could tell by his presence that he was looking at a rookie. "...am I supposed to be impressed?"

“….it would help….” The Dodger replied his ego quickly deflated. “Come on give me a break I’m new at this!”

“I can tell…”

“Oh please like you’re any better. I mean you have a cat toy sticking on top of your head…” The Dodger groaned as he referred to the question mark that adorned Mysterion’s hood

"How would you know what a cat plays with? You named your hero after a fictional dog, you know." Mysterion taunted, Dodger’s eyes widened.

".....how do you know...Dodger could have come from anywhere the artful Dodger originated in Oliver....and besides that dog's sidekick was a cat...plus Dodger was a kick ass dog... but whatever that’s not the point.” The Dodger replied “But yeah….Stan…I’m just as good as you.”

A thought then ran through the young hero’s mind. "Hey, maybe I could be YOUR sidekick!" The Dodger said with excitement. After all if one couldn't play the major hero it didn't hurt to be the major hero's sidekick.

Mysterion on the other hand wasn’t as enthused about the idea. "...I have this town handled. The crime rate's gone down 47% since I started."

“But every great hero has a sidekick.” Dodger replied “Mysterion and The Dodger has a nice ring to it don’t you think Kyle?” He asked still missing his mark on the identity.

"Superman doesn't have a sidekick. Nor do Wonder Woman, Rorschach, Spiderman, or any of the Super Best Friends."

“Well you can be one of the few to have a sidekick….” The Dodger offered

“Thanks but I’ll pass…” Mysterion replied “Best you go home little boy.”

“But YOU’RE a little boy too!” Dodger said as he glanced behind him to find a new figure had just appeared next to them. “…….now who the hell is that?”

“Huh?” Mysterion looked up and at the direction Dodger was looking at. A shadow stood before them, his obvious larger profile gave him away as one of the most questionable “heroes” of all time.

“You?! I thought they arrested you!!!” The figure yelled apparently disgruntled as he stormed into view.

“Ah nice to see you’re still around Coon...” Mysterion replied rolling his eyes

“I thought you were in JAIL!”The Coon repeated

“Yeah you “thought”.” The Dodger said

“And who the hell are you?!” The over weight Coon demanded as he waddled over

“Leave him alone, he’s harmless.” Mysterion replied trying to keep a good distance between him and his adversary

“I am The Dodger, and I’m not harmless I don’t need your protection Mysterion I’m perfectly capable by myself!” The Dodger groaned

"I'm not protecting you; I'm just making sure the Coon knows you're not worth his time."

“…you don’t think I’m good enough….” Dodger said

“Ha dissed by Mysterion you ARE weak! Off with you pest, and YOU Mysterion this is MY turf go find another town to protect. “ The Coon demanded

“Protection from what? Weight Watchers?” The Dodger taunted

"Eric, you've never even thwarted a REAL crime." Mysterion pointed out, "Mutt, seriously, have you even trained?"

".......Who???" Dodger asked

"Who the fuck is Eric...?" The Coon asked both of them trying to ignore the fact that Mysterion knew who BOTH of them were.

"I know you're both Eric Cartman and Jacob Duncan. Mutt, you're the only person in the entire town, other then Ivy, who's even seen 'Oliver and Company', and Eric, seriously, you never fooled anybody. Even Professor Chaos and General Disarray figured it out." Mysterion pointed out

"....I have no idea who you’re talking about...." Dodger replied
"Yeah he's delusional...." The Coon said “Just what this town needs a delusional retard..." He added as he rolled his eyes

"A delusional retard? Oh, I'm sorry, this coming from the kid who ground up his own father and fed him to his half-brother, and only even figured it out when his fucking hand started talking."

“Fuck you! Errr I mean picking on kids who lost their dad! How low are ya not that I am him….” The Coon replied

The Dodger just looked around not exactly sure what to do or say.

“Leave now or I’ll MAKE THE BOTH OF YOU LEAVE!!!” The Coon threatened

"I'd like to see you try." Mysterion said quietly, not wasting a minute or an ounce of energy, simply watching for crime

"Yeah I can take you on with my..." The Dodger reached in his pocket The Coon widened his eyes to see what this new hero brought to the battle

"....rubber duck...." The Dodger groaned as he stared at it unimpressed

"HAHAHAHAHA!!! Beware the rubber duckie!!!!" The Coon taunted "I'm so terrified!"

The rubber duck smacks The Coon in the head knocking off his fake raccoon nose his eyes widened with embarrassment. "Don't look at me!!!" He scrambled around searching for the fake muzzle.

"Look, I have to go fight actual crime. You two keep arguing about your pathetic attempts at taking my job, but I have to go." Mysterion disappeared

The Coon found his fake muzzle and quickly tied it back on. "That fucking looser he thinks he's such a hot shot."

"Well you have to admit neither of us could ever live up to his status. We're....too weak." The Dodger groaned almost admitting defeat

"You maybe weak but I'm not!!” The Coon replied

"Yeah ok you just got defeated by a rubber duck..." Dodger rolled his eyes

"What if you and me teamed up to defeat Mysterion and take his place? Alone we're both weak but together we could bring him down!" Coon said as he began scheming

"Wow...you call yourself a hero....that's villain talk." Dodger replied “Eh screw what Craig said.

“Craig?! Craig is Mysterion?!” Coon asked

“I have no idea really I’ve just been guessing. But anyway I’m off to do what I planned protect the town from assholes like you. See ya Cartman!” The Dodger said as he disappeared

“……Cartman where….? Urgh fuck it…..I’m going to have to get you both…” The Coon grumbled as he too walked off into the late night.

Chapter 2: Cherry Bomb Storm

The next morning found a rather worn out Mutt trudging around the school halls. Working the night shift as a hero clearly had its faults.

Mutt just yawned as he opened up his locker and slowly dozed off remarkably while still standing. He heard a familiar voice, in dreamland it sounded rather soft and faint.

“Mutt..?”

“Huuh…” Mutt responded with a snort before feeling a hand tap him on the shoulder.

“MUTT!” The voice grew louder

Finally the half-drained Mutt woke up to see Kenny, the source of his wake up call.

“Ohhh heey Kenny what’s up?” Mutt asked

“Damn Mutt you look exhausted!” Kenny replied with the up most concern

“Oh yea I’ve been feeling rather tired lately…” Mutt responded

"That sucks, why?" Kenny asked

"I don't know I think I'm sick..." Mutt lied as he stood up a bit as he began glancing over the other students, still half asleep. Mutt began rubbing his eyes

"Maybe you shouldn't stay out so la I mean maybe you should stay home today..." Kenny said

Cartman came by and handed Mutt a rubber duck. "I think you may have forgotten this, you're lucky a great hero found it."

"A hero found a rubber duck and assumed it was mine?" Mutt asked

"Well it's yours isn't it???" Cartman asked

"Never seen that rubber duck in my life...have you Kenny?" Mutt asked

“Cartman why are you bringing your bath toy to school?” Kenny asked

“It’s not MINE!!!” Cartman defended “It’s his!!” throws the duck at Mutt

"Why would you have one of Mutt's bath toys?" Kenny asked

“……..just watch yourself Duncan!!!” Cartman grumbled as he walked off

“Uugh my head is pounding…” Mutt groaned

“Come on Mutt lets get you to the nurse’s office. You should go home and rest.” Kenny said as he wrapped his arm around his buddy’s shoulder to comfort him.

“I don’t know it’s probably just a headache…” Mutt replied trying to resist

"I insist" Kenny said, worried

“….uggh ok I guess I will… I could use a day off….” Mutt responded

Kenny knocked on Nurse Gollum's door and she answered, "Hello?"

“Hi Nurse my buddy Jake here isn’t feeling so hot.” Kenny told her as he led in a worn out looking Mutt.

"I'll examine him." she pulled Mutt in and put him up on one of those steel beds.

“See ya later Mutt, hope you feel better.” Kenny said as he left to go to class

Mutt just stared at the Nurse, his brain feeling half fried.

The Nurse examined Mutt closely, carefully studying his eyes, "Hmm... judging from the bags under your eyes, you're definitely tired. You don't show any symptoms of a cold..." she put a hand to his forehead, "No fever."

"...but my head is killing me....." Mutt groaned

"I think you're just really tired, kid. Headaches come from that sometimes... you can take a nap here for a couple of hours. Need me to call your folks?"

“No, no maybe I’ll just take a nap here for awhile. An hour should do…” Mutt insisted knowing if he’d end up home supposedly sick he would be less likely to sneak out of the house with his parents on “sick son” duty.

The nurse allowed Mutt to sleep in her office about an hour later he woke up. He was still quite tired but had enough energy to get through the school day.

Later that night he was back out on the prowl as The Dodger. Despite pretty much being downplayed by the legendary Mysterion he wasn’t going to let that stop him nor did it douse any of his enthusiasm.

In fact he was rather a bit too enthusiastic as he was forgetting about one tip about being a super hero, keep low. Instead he was climbing and bounding adjacent roof tops while noisily singing one his favorite songs.

“Ain’t got no gun…ain’t got no knife but don’t you start know fight….cause I’m TNT! I’m dynamite and I’ll win the fight!! I’m a power load watch me…UFFH!” If only he had been watching where he was building hopping before he knew he ran smack into someone, the collision caused him to momentarily lay on his back gazing at the stars in pain. He could hear the other groaning the two quickly got up and realized they knew each other. Once again and quite literally the Dodger ran smack into Mysterion.

"You again?" Mysterion said

“….how is it that you’re in the same spot I bumped into you last night?” Dodger asked

"I always watch from here. It's a good spot." Mysterion replied

"....soo anything going on?" The Dodger asked "Something your trustful sidekick can help with...?"

"Not really. I beat up some sixth graders earlier who were painting graffiti by the bridge and then I defeated Professor Chaos' jewel heist." The hero responded

“Oh awesome….yah I did some super cool hero stuff too….yea I just stopped a bank robbery.” The Dodger lied

“With what your rubber duck?” Mysterion scoffed

Dodger only muttered to himself in response he pretty much couldn’t think of anything to say, “You know for such a great hero you’re a jerk….I happen to know a REAL hero he’s ten times better then you are.”

"Really now? Who would that be?" Mysterion asked

“Kenny McCormick. Sure you can save the city streets but have you ever saved virtually all of humanity?” The Dodger asked

"Kenny McCormick? Really? That kid's a coward. He never shows his face, he barely even speaks. He's just a prop. Would a hero try to rescue a criminal? Or go on TV, just to go be on it? Would a real hero let his friends get into trouble every single week?" Mysterion jeered

"Hey don't you talk shit about my best friend!! I don't give a fuck who you are!!" The Dodger growled as he got into Mysterion's face.

"You're not his best friend. He's said himself Eric Cartman's his best friend." There was a small crack in Mysterion's voice, "And Eric Cartman is the Coon."

"I already knew the Coon was Cartman really no one in all of South Park is that fat...." The Dodger growled to himself "But he's no one's best friend that's for sure....ugh anyway leave Kenny out of this he can't even defend himself ass!" He replied

"You're the one who brought him up."

"Yeah well.......say do you smell smoke?" The Dodger asked

"Oh yeah, that's probably Professor Chaos and General Disarray lighting a house on fire." Mysterion assumed

"A house?! That's a bit extreme don't you think?" The Dodger asked "I think it's coming from over there..." He added as he pointed over to the most western part of the city where the smoke was trailing in the sky.

"I must stop it." Mysterion said ready to take off

"Can I help?!" The Dodger asked raring to go with him

"No"

"Awwww..." The Dodger complained as Mysterion slipped off in the direction of the fire. Leaving the rookie completely alone and vulnerable.

"Hello D-D-Dodger." says a shadow.

"...Um heey shadow guy. You've actually heard of me?" The Dodger asked rather surprised since he was still very new to the scene

"Yes, yes I have... it's good to finally meet you. Come with me..." The voice replied

"Who are you....? You are a good guy right?" The Dodger asked both willing yet hesitant to follow since he hasn't seen much action all night up until bumping into Mysterion again

"Sure."

"Ummm ok...." The Dodger said as he followed the shadow guy

The shadow lead Dodger down some streets, "Now, General Disarray!" and suddenly another shadow hopped on Dodger and attacked

“What the hell?!” The Dodger exclaimed as he tried his best to wrestle with the smaller, quicker, and more agile General Disarray. A few nights on the job and his inexperience was already showing as he had walking straight into a trap. “You’re no good guy!!!”

"No I'm not... I am PROFESSOR CHAOS, bringer of DESTRUCTION and DOOM!"

“Professor Chaos!” Dodger exclaimed “You treacherous fiend…OW!!!!” The wrestling continued. “Can you tell your assistant to stop!!?” Still struggling to fight the smaller villainous side kick, but again he was a rookie and not quite yet use to actually fighting a villain.

"...nah, not yet."

“Don’t make me use my….” The Dodger threatened as he managed to shove General Disarray long enough to stand up and pull out a handful of rubber bands. “…..my rubber bands of death!!!!”

Chaos and Disarray stopped and laughed

“Ugh how do I keep ending up with rubber weapons? Seriously! Oh well I must improvise.” The Dodger groaned as he found a good sized pebble, pulls it back on one of the rubber bands and lets it loose nailing Disarray smack in the middle of his forehead.

"Wow, Eric was right, you really are a lame hero. I mean, uh, the Coon, yeah, the Coon was right."

"And you're a lame villain really all the other heroes in the area you had to come after the rookie?" The Dodger mocked "And what kind of costume do you have ....is that aluminum foil? Couldn't afford a real costume eh?"

"It's not aluminum foil, it's Space Titanium!" Professor Chaos insisted

"Uh huh sure. Say..Professor Chaos....you better watch your back Mysterion found out about you setting something on fire on the west part of town. He thought it was a house but I don't know but yeah..." The Dodger said

"Yeah, I was going to burn down that house on Crawford once the family moves out, but I'm not burning anything today." Professor Chaos replied

"....you mean that wasn't you?" The Dodger asked

[Mutt]

"Uh, no. There's no empty houses left, why would I burn a house someone lives in? That'd be mean!"

“..You’re a rather different villain from what I’m used to. So can I ask how you heard of me again? “The Dodger asked

“We receive an anonymous tip, though I could tell it was Eri….eer The Coon on count of the cheesy poof finger marks on the paper.” Professor Chaos said as he pulled out a crumpled up, greasy, letter. “Read it to him Disarray!”

Disarray grabbed the letter and began to read it. “To Professor Chaos & General Disarray a warning on to you as there is a new, lame, hero who calls himself The Dodger. He is a rookie but has the potential to threaten even dangerous villains as yourselves and he is a probable side kick to that goody goody guy Mysterion. Signed Er..*smudged.* The Co….* smudged Anonmoose.
“
“Woa…really did I scare him that much with the rubber duck or did he just want to get rid of the competition. Really is The Coon an actual hero?” The Dodger asked

"Not really. He did want to blow up that hospital." Chaos responded

“Yeah I thought so. Plus according to Mysterion he doesn’t need a sidekick he's too good for one, besides he’s an ass anyway. Can’t believe I actually thought it’d be cool to be his sidekick.” The Dodger groaned

"That doesn't sound like Kyle." Disarray pointed out

"....Kyle? Is that who Mysterion is? "The Dodger asked "Though I wouldn't know Kyle as one to talk so much shit about Kenny the way this dude did.”

"Well yeah, way back when Mysterion revealed himself it was Kyle." Professor Chaos replied

“Yeah but would Kyle be that much of an asshole to be a superhero?” The Dodger asked

"So... wanna go rob a bank?" Professor Chaos offered

“I know I’m a lame hero but I’m still a hero and heroes don’t rob banks….thanks though at least someone offered me some action…” The Dodger replied

That was when the trio notice something small and round landing from the side as if it had been tossed.

“What’s that?!” General Disarray asked

“Well uh I don’t know….” Professor Chaos noted as they took a closer look they realized the lit fuse attached to the small ball. “OH geez it’s a cherry bomb!!”

“Holy shit!!!” The Dodger exclaimed quickly going into flight or fight mode he takes the cherry bomb and with a rubber band flings it as far away as he possibly could just as well as it explodes in mid air. “Whew! That thing would have went off in our face!”

“Wow you saved us!” General Disarray said

“Yay, yay I guess I did and all without Mysterion’s help sweeet!” The Dodger said with his head quickly swelling with the idea that he was indeed an ass kicking hero. That was until a few more lit cherry bombs landed before them. His eyes then grew wide. “RUN!!!”

“Geez where are they coming from?!” Chaos asked as he and the other two began to panic and run for cover as even more cherry bombs followed them exploding from behind.

The three of them raced as the tiny bombs continued to rain seemingly out of nowhere.

“Over here!!” The Dodger says as he leads the two villains to an open dumpster in which all three promptly jump into and close the cover where they hear more cherry bombs hit the metal cover and go off before the explosions eventually die down.

“Is…is it over?” Disarray asked

“I don’t know….” Chaos replied

The Dodger slowly opens the cover just enough for them to peer out into an empty street. Checking to see if the coast was clear when they catch a shadow drawing closer and closer.

“OH SHIT he’s come to finish us off!!!” The Dodger panics

“I can’t handle another cherry bomb storm!!” Professor Chaos adds

“We’re going to die!!!” Disarray exclaimed

“You’re pathetic….all three of you why are you in a dumpster?” A deep familiar sounding voice asked

“Who are you?! I bet you were the one who threw those cherry bombs!!!” The Dodger yelled as he jumped out of the dumpster ready to face off the figure before realizing who the figure was. “Come on I can take you!!!”

"What with another rubber duck?" The voice mocked as it turned into Mysterion.

"Mysterion! So it was you who showered us in cherry bombs!!" The Dodger accused

“And why would I throw cherry bombs at a harmless rookie??” Mysterion asked

“…because you hate me…” The Dodger replied

"I do not hate you." Mysterion said, "You're a minor annoyance. Not worth wasting cherry bombs on you"

"Fuck you....although someone thought otherwise....."The Dodger replied as he pointed at the trail of dead cherry bombs.

Professor Chaos and General Disarray crawl out from the dumpster, seeing that there weren’t anymore live cherry bombs.

“I see you’ve had a run in with South Park’s most notorious villains. Professor Chaos I just came back from putting out the fire you’ve set on the west part of town!! You’ve gone too far!” Mysterion accused

“I may be a treacherous, no good, stealthy villain but I’ve done no such thing tonight, Mysterion!” Professor Chaos replied in his defense.

"There were people in that house. You're lucky Clyde's family got out okay." Mysterion continued his accusation

"Dude, why would I burn down a house with people in it? I'm not that evil" Professor Chaos responded

“Why should I trust you?” Mysterion asked in a suspicious tone

“I don’t think he’s that fast….as the fire started on the west part of South Park Professor Chaos came after me just as soon as you left. And unless he can fly I doubt that was him or Disarray who caused the fire. “The Dodger said

"It must've been the Coon. I'll have to find him and interrogate him." Mysterion said

The Dodger sifts through the ashes of exploded cherry bombs trying to investigate it. “Do you think he was also the one who threw like a ton of cherry bombs at us?”

"Maybe." Mysterion shrugged

Six more lit cherry bombs drop down besides them

"OH SHIT NOT AGAIN!!" The Dodger panics

Professor Chaos and General Disarray also panic and run straight back into the dumpster

Mysterion slightly moves out of the way his eyes widen as he catches Dodger quickly gathering the cherry bombs. “WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING? YOU’LL BLOW YOUR HAND OFF!!!”

“Not if I’m quick enough!” Dodger replied as he quickly chucked the cherry bombs as far as he could as well enough they explode out of the danger zone.

“ARE YOU CRAZY?!”

“What’s it matter to you? I’m just a harmless, annoying, rookie…” The Dodger responded

"I still don't want you to get hurt!"

“Well thanks for the concern but like I said I can take care of myself..” The Dodger replied at that moment they heard a crazy, mocking evil laugh.

“Whose there show yourself fucker!!!” The Dodger shouted but got no response, either verbally or visually.

"W-well fellas I'd hate to cut this short b-but it's real late and I I have school tomorrow...” Professor Chaos said as he walks off

"Yeaah me too...” General Disarray added before he followed Chaos off into the night and left just left Mysterion and The Dodger

"Come on you and me find this fucker we can take him!!” The Dodger said trying to cover up the fact that his energy was just about half drained from running from the cherry bomb storm.

"I don't think so. First Dodger, you need a new weapon arsenal more than anything. You can't honestly defend yourself with rubbers."

“But I don’t have condoms….sorry….sorry…” The Dodger smacked himself in the forehead in shame. “My immaturity showing…but yeah what about a bat?”

He asked noticed Mysterion suddenly had his back on him. “Something wrong….or or you giving me the cold shoulder?” Dodger asked in frustration.

Mysterion didn’t respond for a few seconds. “No no it’s fine the bat’s a great idea.”

"Too bad I don't have one on me....but I can wrestle him to the ground!!" The Dodger said

"No, you best go I can handle this alone." Mysterion replied still with his back towards Dodger

"But what if you can't?" The Dodger asks “I hate to tell you this but you do know that every hero has a weakness, you’re no exception. You won’t always be able to handle it all on your own.”

"That doesn't mean I need a sidekick."

“Pfft I don’t even want to be YOUR sidekick anymore.” The Dodger replied somewhat lying.

"Good"

“Yeah Kyle. Think you’re such a hot shot under that mask….don’t you?” The Dodger asked

"No, I'm just trying to keep you from getting hurt."

“No you’re just an arrogant ass. Big shot hero think you know everything and rookie’s like me know nothing yeah well you were a rookie too!” The Dodger groaned

[Mutt]

"No I wasn't. I trained for weeks and practiced. You came out here on day 1 with no idea how to even fight crime with horrid weapons. Do some research, kid. You can be a great hero but you don't understand the time and patience required."

"Well you still started out as a rookie you weren't always the mighty Mysterion. And I mean you won't even give me a chance you just took me for face value. “The Dodger replied

"No I didn't. I recognized you immediately, Mutt, and quickly factored in your personality."

"There you go assuming again.....you think you know me don't you Craig?!" The Dodger asked

"You're the only biracial kid in town, Jacob."

"....who....?" The Dodger asked still trying his best to ignore the fact that his secret identity wasn't much a secret. The Dodger just groaned again as he looked at his watch as it read 11:30pm. "Damn school..." He mumbled to himself as he looked back up at Mysterion, The Dodger realizing he was pretty much beaten into submission. He said nothing as he slowly began to walk off. “I need coffee…”

"You know Mutt, if you go home now, you might still be able to get in two hours of sleep." Mysterion pointed out.

".....I'm fine Stan!" The Dodger replied. "I'm not even tired!" He falls over asleep.

"...poor kid." Mysterion shook his head, remaining at his roost

Chapter 3: The BlackCobra

The next morning Mutt amazingly awoke in his own room, apparently Mysterion cared enough to drop him off at his home. Though he was still in his costume and quickly had to change into his normal clothes for school. As he did so he stared himself in the bathroom mirror and groaned feeling a bit dull after being put down two nights in a row by one of the greatest heroes of South Park, whom he still considered a lesser hero than that of Kenny McCormick. Like he said Kenny had given up his life for the restoration of the world when there was no hope for it, even though he’d pay for it by going back to Hell. Even if he did come back there really isn’t a more selfless act then given up your own life.

But still Mutt was starting to feel the effects of not being taken seriously and had second thoughts about playing the role of a lame hero. He figured he’d give it another shot but he’d need a new image, a new weapon, and new fighting tactics. However it would have to wait until after school.

Slowly the half gloomy Mutt made his way to the bus stop, where the usual four had already arrived.

"Hey Mutt" Kenny greeted cheerfully

“Hi Kenny….” Mutt said rather not cheerfully
"What's up?" Kenny asked

“Oh nothing much, heh the usual.” Mutt replied as he looked up at Kenny. “Say what happened to your head…”, noting that Kenny had a red bump on his forehead.

"That's nothing. I was playing a game last night and hit my head" Kenny replied

"Damn must of been a rough game." Mutt commented

"Yeah"

"You guys, you guys, you know how, uh, the Coon's been gone for a day? Well, uh, look at this." Cartman handed them a newspaper clipping saying 'CRIME RATE UP'

"...that's pretty interesting Cartman..." Mutt said "...can I see that...?"

Mutt took a look, Kenny looking close as well

Cartman beamed

"But there's always crime why are you guys so interested?" Stan asked

"Oh! I was looking for the comics..." Mutt replied lying

"This is about seven months old, dude." Kenny said

"...it says this is today's paper..." Kyle replied

"It's only a clipping dude." Kenny said

Mutt snatched the newspaper and read it when another article took his attention. "....wow it says someone's stolen a ton of firecrackers. It says that police in Texas are looking for a thief who made off with a truckload of firecrackers. Included in the mix roman candles, bottle rockets, sparklers, and cherry bombs....." Mutt read out loud as he sort of flashbacked to the cherry bomb storm from the night before.

“Wow what would someone need with a truckload of firecrackers?!” Kyle asks

“I don’t know dude but that sounds dangerous!” Stan replied “He could blow up a town if he wanted to!”

This news rattled in Mutt’s brains, seeing as Cartman aka The Coon already revealed he wasn’t out last night means that he wasn’t the one who set fire to part of South Park. Nor was he the one who threw a rain of cherry bombs and this made him wonder if The Coon didn’t do it nor did Professor Chaos, was there perhaps a new threat?

The engine of the school bus was soon heard as it rolled up to the bus stop. Mutt was quite distracted with the newspaper in his hands when the others walked onto the lumbering bus.

“You coming Mutt?” Kyle asked noticing he was lingering behind.

“Oh ya! Didn’t even see the bus.” Mutt laughed as he too got on the bus and sat by Kenny.

Who seemed to be in a bit of deep thought. As if something were worrying him it was odd as Kenny seldom worried about anything; this was quite noticeable to his best friend.

“Kenny?” Mutt asked as he nudged him a bit. “You alright?”

"Yeah" Kenny said

"You seem....worried....something wrong?" Mutt asked as he wrapped an arm around his buddy.

"Just lack of sleep. The injury kept me up last night" Kenny said

"You mean the bump on your head?" Mutt replied

"Yup"

"Oh that sucks. Maybe you should put some ice on that." Mutt responded

"Nah, I'm good" Kenny said

"..You sure? Maybe a trip to the nurse's office could help...” Mutt offered

"No, I'm good. Mom put an ice pack on it." Kenny replied

“Ok then.” Mutt responded as he took another look at the newspaper article

Kenny looked out the window

“Hey Ken…out of curiosity do you know anyone from Texas around here?” Mutt inquired

"No clue." Kenny simple replied

“Hmmm…” Mutt thought to himself as he scanned the bus for potential suspects; as well as for the potential candidate for Mysterion and Professor Chaos.

Soon the bus arrived at the school and everyone piled off and into the hallways. Mutt continued his observations and decided to ask other students what he wanted to know.

He walked up to Kyle and Stan, the two students in the school he trusted the most other then Kenny.

“Hey dudes, out of curiosity do you know anyone whose from Texas that would be in our school?” He asked. Kenny had arrived right beside Mutt seemingly as interested in knowing the answer as Mutt was.

“Students from Texas…? I don’t think so.” Stan replied “Most students here are from South Park or close by though you, John and Ivy would be the few exceptions.”

"Maybe Millie, she does have that accent" Kyle responded “Though I’m not sure we rarely talk to her.”

“Interesting…” Mutt replied as he scanned the halls a bit

That’s when Butters decided to show up.

“Hey fellas!” He greeted in a friendly manner.

“Hey Butters.” Kyle and Stan greeted back in unison

“Hi.” Kenny also greeted

“….hello Butterscotch.” Mutt replied

“…Hi Fido…” Butters responded

“Don’t make me hurt you…..say Butters. You wouldn’t happen to be from Texas would ya??!” Mutt interrogated him

“N-n-no I’m from Colorado.” Butters replied

Mutt eyed him with suspicion. Surely Butters was more harmless then a fly, not even much of a threat but you see him and Mutt had a heated rivalry. It was never understood as to why they couldn’t stand each other, some say it was Butters gullibility and naïve nature that irked Mutt so, and yet others claimed that it was Mutt’s oh so mellow tone that clashed with Butters always in a frantic worry when things went wrong. Whatever the cause these two hated each other.

And so it was easy for Mutt to assume that Butters was the one who created the cherry bomb storm…course if he knew better he would have known that Butters was in fact Professor Chaos; a fact that seemed to have eluded not only The Dodger but The Coon and even Mysterion as well.

"You sure?" Kenny said

“Yes I’m sure!” Butters replied “I was born right here in South Park!” He added

“Fine…do you know anyone else who might be from Texas?” Mutt asked him

“..no not really….least not anyone I know…” Butters replied

“Damn...” Kenny blurted out as the bell for class rang.

“……damn is right. Just not enough time for this…” Mutt groaned as he and everyone else ran for their first class.

[Mutt]

Hours later and school was over. No one had the answers they were looking for and in fact there were more questions then anything. Yet Mutt knew that since his and Mysterion’s first two suspects of last nights cherry bombing proved negative that they were up against someone new. And someone far more deadly as he was loaded with fire power and didn’t care if he endangered the lives of civilians.

Mutt came home knowing if he wanted to continue his role as South Park’s guard dog he’d have to prove it by amping up his game. He had very little time before the sun would set and the night shift would arrive, he spent what time he had updating his style. For one he knew he needed a new weapon, something more useful in battle then a rubber duck or a rubber band. Yet something not so obvious and deadly like his usual weapon of choice Jason’s machete.

He sifted through his junk for something that could pass for a formidable weapon. He pulled out a metal bat but it was quite heavy for having to be carried around, he pulled out a fake plastic sword it was cheap and would do very little damage, the next item to be pulled out was a boomerang but he knew he could only use this as a projectile. After searching he found nothing of use, given up he glanced out his window that overlooked the backyard and spotted a thick, good size branch that had fallen from the giant tree in the yard.

Mutt raced downstairs to investigate the branch closer up, it was strong to do great damage yet light enough to carry for long distances and he didn’t have to throw it. Though it did need trimming and de-barking therefore he spent the next 30 minutes doing just that until it was made into a polished and improvised staff. He looked at the clock to keep track of his time to see it was 5pm, meaning he still had a good 3 hours to go if he wanted to update himself even further. He sat his new staff on his bed and stared at his costume. It too could use a change. The deep blue hooded cape would definitely stay but the rest of it needed an upgrade. He searched through his wardrobe and pulled out a white shirt and a blue and gold vest he hadn’t worn in years. To his surprise it worked perfectly well with his dark blue cloak and a pair of dark blue pants matched it even further. Though his costume now missed any lettering, which would have to wait.

Dinner time came; Mutt ate his meal and went back upstairs to dress in his new hero attire. The sun was nearly gone when the updated Dodger was now dressed and ready for action. He grabbed his staff, stuffed a water pistol into his pocket and slipped out under the cover of darkness. After a quick stop for coffee The Dodger was already on the top of a building overlooking the mostly empty town, he knew it wouldn’t be long before Mysterion, The Coon and most probably the villains would show up but instead of bouncing all over the place like he had done in the past few days he patiently waited and guarded one spot, like a learning guard dog. He sat in this spot with his staff and coffee and just waited. The night ticked on minute by minute, Dodger sipped on his coffee as he continued his vigilance. It was starting out to be a slow night he was feeling a bit down perhaps there would be no action tonight. But as he would learn the action was just starting.

The Coon appeared, "Hello Dodger. Fancy seeing you out here."

“Hey Coon…missed ya last night. You missed so much action.” The Dodger replied, a bit miffed that even with his updated looks he was still recognizable.

"Yeah, I know, it was lame; my mam wanted me to hang out with my stupid- I mean, uh, yeah, I had to call it quits for a night. The city needs to learn to handle itself without me around, if slowly."

“…so that wasn’t you who set Clyde’s house on fire or showered cherry bombs on me, Professor Chaos, General Disarray and Mysterion?” The Dodger asked

"I wish." the Coon said, "Wait, Clyde's house? Damn he's getting clever with this Mysterion shit."

“You’d really think Mysterion would set his own house on fire?” The Dodger asked “Or throw cherry bombs? Seems quite unlikely if he wanted to be perceived as such a mighty hero." He added

"Hmm... maybe it's not Clyde then." The Coon said

“Say did you hear about that guy who stole the truckload of firecrackers in Texas?” The Dodger asked despite him knowing Cartman was right there when the article was read. “Do you think he would have come to South Park with all that shit?”

"No idea, dude." the Coon said, "Might be Mysterion, he's used fireworks on me."

“Woa! Really was it a cherry bomb?! I knew Mysterion hated me that’s why he showered me with them! And you know he appeared right after they stopped raining down on me and Professor Chaos and General Disarray. He was probably trying to kill the villains and didn’t give a shit that I happen to be in the middle!” The Dodger assumed

"Nah, it was just fireworks." the Coon shrugged

"..Then again he said I wasn't worth wasting cherry bombs. Such an arrogant ass...." The Dodger groaned as he glanced behind and noticed that a lone shadow managed to sneak up behind them.

“Hey! Whose there?!” The Dodger demanded as he rose up his staff ready for battle.

“You dare to come before The Coon?!” The Coon added his own threat as he too prepared for combat.

“Ah, please don’t hurt me!!” The shadow replied as he came into light revealing a rather beaten up Professor Chaos.

“Whoa, damn! Professor Chaos!” The Dodger exclaimed

“One of South Park’s most notorious villain, prepare for battle!!!” The Coon

“Relax Coon I think he’s in trouble here! What happened to you Chaos?! You look like shit!” The Dodger inquired

“Please, you guys you’ve got to help me! We were ambushed, he was terrifying and big and dark!!” Chaos pleaded

“Whoa, whoa, who ambushed you?” The Dodger asked

“Don’t fall for it Dodger it’s a trick!” The Coon warned him

“No this isn’t a trick! I have no idea who this guy was but he came out of nowhere saying something about having his revenge! But I don’t even know who he was!!! “Chaos replied

“You really think we’re going to fall for that Chaos?!” The Coon inquired, not trusting anything the villain said. “You and your evil sidekick!”

“Say…where is General Disarray anyway?” The Dodger asked

“That’s where I’m getting at! We were forced to fight with this guy but he was way too strong and he had a knife pointed at us! And he beat me up and kidnapped my sidekick! Disarray’s been taken hostage and I have no idea where he is or how to save him!! “Chaos responded in a panicked voice and began to tear up a bit. He may have been a villain but he truly cared about his trusted sidekick.

“ Pffft nice show Professor Chaos! I’m not falling for it!” The Coon insisted still assuming that this villain was up to no good.

The Dodger too was rather hesitant, after all this was the same treacherous villain that had tricked him the night before. Yet it seemed at this point he was at his weakest. “How can I know you’re not playing another trick on me like you did last night?!” He asked
"You think I'd beat myself up just for a trick?" Chaos scratched at a bloody knee, "This is real blood, just taste it!"

“You trying to give us AIDS Chaos?!” The Coon asked

“Whoa…this is rather serious…” The Dodger said as he realized that this was no trick. He slowly walks up to Chaos in a non threatening fashion. “Do you remember what he looks like or catch any name?” He asked

"Uhh... it was two or three words... starting with a B I think... Brown Croc or something."

"A Croc? What a Croc of shit you mean!" The Coon replied

"I don't remember his whole name! It was Brown or black... something..." Professor Chaos responded

"....ok that doesn't help too much...but we'll find him don't you worry!" The Dodger said "That is if Mysterion doesn't try to stop me from doing his "job".

[Mutt]

"You called?" came a voice behind everyone

"Oh great speak of the devil.”The Coon rolled his eyes

"Mysterion, what brings you to this part of South Park?" The Dodger asked wondering if his upgrade would do anything to even slightly impress the mighty hero.

"I saw some kind of villain running off and had to make sure nobody was hurt... apparently Chaos has been."

"Yes and his sidekick has been taken hostage...” The Dodger informed him

"Pftt you’re both falling into a trap...” The Coon replied still not trusting Professor Chaos.

Mysterion took out a box of band-aids and applied them to some of Professor Chaos' wounds, "Was anyone else attacked by him?"

"Not that I know of.." Professor Chaos replied

"Are you two really going to believe him? Need I remind you Professor Chaos is one of South Park's most infamous villains?! This could be a show to get you to fall for his trap!!" The Coon insisted

"Professor Chaos is a villain, but part of being a hero is helping people, regardless of what they've done. Batman's had plenty of chances to kill the Joker, but has he? No."

"....are you comparing me to The Joker...?"

"Yes and no." Mysterion said, "Look Chaos, I'm not comparing your characterization to the Joker, but your role compared to that of the Coon's is comparable to the Joker-Batman antagonistic... ship."

".....so what role am I....?" The Dodger asked

"The worthless amateur!" The Coon replied

"Fuck you!" The Dodger groaned

"Look, right now we're facing a real villain. Not a fifth grader in a costume or something. It is going to take all of our skills to defeat him and we have to, for once, put aside our differences. We may not be the Super Best Friends but we all want to protect this town... or in Chaos' case, rescue Dougie."

"Yeah right like that's going to happen I work alone!!!" The Coon said

"WHOOT FINALLY SOME ACTION!!" The Dodger yelled excited that maybe he would be treated and respected as a real hero.

"Okay, first things first... we'll split into two groups. Coon, Chaos, and Dodger, you two need to train hard, and get lots of rest tomorrow, it's a Saturday anyway. I'll go do some, uh, research." *Read: I'll go to Kyle's*

"I'm not teaming up with anyone asshole!!! I need no one I work alone!!" The Coon protested

"You...mean I can help you?!" The Dodger asked

"You can help later. Right now you need a little more training, and so do the Coon. And Chaos is a villain; he'll need training as well. I just have to do some research"

"Not me!!" The Coon continued his rant "You pussies can team up but I'm out of here!" He said as he left

"What's his problem?" The Dodger asked

"He never knew his father and had no proper male role model so he has no idea how to act like a male and subconsciously constantly tries to assert his masculinity. And as a result of this, accidentally killed his father." Mysterion replied.

“Ummmm………ok….” The Dodger replied. Suddenly a shrill from a firecracker was heard as it hurled through the air and landed on the rooftop. “Oh shit!”

"Fuck." Mysterion pulled Dodger and Chaos off the roof and they landed on a fire escape

Not yet realizing it was too small a rocket to cause any damage yet big enough to cause a good “pop!” noise as it split open to reveal a note.

"No don't die Mysterion!! You're not Kenny!!" The Dodger yelled thinking that the rocket had blown him to smithereens.

"I'm fine." Mysterion said, taking out a note, "Hm, interesting..."

The note read: "Dear so called heroes by now you are aware of the deadly presence of your greatest threat yet, the Black Cobra. I am one looking for revenge for past wrong doings and as you can see I am not afraid of blood or death and will go to extremes. I have a truckload of fireworks and am well prepared to use them all over the town if you're not quick enough this tiny town may soon become rubble. And as for your weak pathetic sidekick he is fine and strapped to a tree in the park. Oh did I mention he has a few rockets attached to him...good luck, The Black Cobra.

The Dodger and Professor Chaos rejoin Mysterion “What’s it say?”

Mysterion read it out loud

"OH NO! General Disarray!!!" Professor Chaos panicked

The Dodger kind of stood there in disbelief that they were up against someone as dangerous as this guy in his own hometown.

“What do we do?!” Chaos asked Mysterion

“….we head for the park!” The Dodger exclaimed as he began heading off when Mysterion blocked his path.

“It is way too hazardous for rookies ….” Mysterion told him.

“Why won’t you give me a fucking chance?!” The Dodger asked “I can do this! I know I can! Come on Mysterion...I can do this...." He repeated his plea

"For your safety, I can't allow it" Mysterion said

“But I know I can do this! I just need a chance….” The Dodger replied

“You are too weak and too inexperienced for this dangerous mission….” Mysterion responded

“I’m not weak! I upgraded and everything!” The Dodger insisted as he pulled out his homemade staff, which was definitely an upgrade from the rubber duck and the rubber bands.

"Hm, you're definitely improving. But you still aren't ready."

"How can I ever be ready if I never get to experience a real crime!?" The Dodger asked "Can't learn to ride a horse without a horse..."

"This is the most powerful villain even I have ever faced."

"Then you shouldn't go solo right?!" The Dodger asked

"I have Chaos for backup"

"....so what do I do?" The Dodger asked

"Go home"

The Dodger groaned at Mysterion's suggestion "You think you're so big..."

"I'm not big."

"I'm not going home...." The Dodger responded "So there...” sticks out tongue

“Fellas I’d hate to butt in but my sidekick is in danger need I remind you.” Chaos interrupted

“Don’t worry Chaos I’m on it!” The Dodger again tries to run off and yet again Mysterion blocks his path. “Mysterion the longer we argue the longer Disarray is in trouble…”

"Point. Just go home, please. I don't want to see you get hurt."

"You can't make me...." Dodger replied

Dodger again for the third time tries to run off and yet again Mysterion blocks his path.

[Mutt]

“Damn you! Let me come with you!!!” The Dodger replied in frustration “I can’t learn if I don’t get any experience!”

"You need to train. He's too powerful for you." Mysterion said, the mask of his voice just slightly wavering, "I said I don't want you to get hurt."

"I can't train if I go home...."The Dodger grumbled as he turned away from Mysterion not quite catching the change in the great hero's voice.

"I don't have time to train you tonight. Besides you need rest, you keep getting so tired in class."

"I have coffee..."The Dodger replied as he pointed at his half empty coffee cup "Besides what about you'll be tired too."

"Guys please can we hurry this up?!" Professor Chaos asked getting rather impatient

"You have to go save General Disarray before it's too late.” The Dodger said finally giving into the struggle.

Mysterion nodded, "I'll train you tomorrow." he said before running off with Chaos

"Yeaah I'm sure..." The Dodger thought to himself

“I hope we’re not too late!” Chaos said with much concern as him and Mysterion dashed through the empty streets towards the park.

"Me neither." Mysterion said

“So this new guy….you have any idea who he maybe? It’s kind of odd at first I thought he could have been Cartman trying to trick me but he didn’t look that fat….” Professor Chaos said as he tried to recount whom he and Disarray had come face to face with.

"I'm afraid I don't have a clue." Mysterion said, "But he seems familiar..."

“Familiar how?” Chaos asked with interest

"I don't know... there was just something about it..." Mysterion replied

“Hmmmm…we’ll find out soon enough I guess.” Professor Chaos said as they reached the park and spot a lone figure strapped to a tree.

"General Disarray!" Mysterion exclaimed

[Mutt]

“DISARRAY THANK GOODNESS YOU’RE OKAY!!” Professor Chaos ran up to the trapped sidekick, whom on closer inspection was beaten until bruised two black eyes, bleeding nose, the works.

“Chaos…you found me!” Disarray replied

“Whoa Disarray what happened?!” Professor Chaos asked

“That douche beat me the hell up!” Disarray said crying “But you have to be quick….he’s still around….”

"Show yourself, Cobra!" Mysterion said

“Hey wait I thought the note said there were rockets strapped to you….” Professor Chaos

A shadow appeared holding a handful of rockets. “Seems like you fell for my trap mighty heroes.” He threatened with an evil laugh

"Trap?" Mysterion raised an eyebrow

“And I’m not a hero I’m a villain!” Professor Chaos replied as he unstrapped Disarray from the tree.

“Ha! You make a very pathetic villain couldn’t even find your sidekick without the help of a goody-goody hero. No matter I shall destroy you both.” The dark figure said as he quickly lit a good size rocket and pointed it straight at the trio.

Mysterion jumped out of the way, pushing Chaos and Disarray out, "You're messing with the wrong fourth graders."

As quickly as he did so the rocket blasted off slamming into the tree the trio was standing in front of just mere seconds ago.

“Actually I’m a second-grader…”Disarray whispered

“You saved us Mysterion!! That tree would of have been us!!” Professor Chaos exclaimed.

“HA! I still have plenty more rockets! A truckload in fact!” The figure sneered as he came out from hiding revealing a figure wearing a jet black cloak marked with a snake’s skull plastered in the middle, along with the cloak he wore a deep purple hooded cap that covered almost all his face except for his eyes. He wore a black spiky mask over his eyes; spiked wristbands accompanied his black and purple leather gloves and a pair of deep purple pants finished his outfit.

[Mutt]

“It’s The Black Cobra!” Professor Chaos shouted in panic

“So it was you who stole that truckload of firecrackers from Texas! Not only is that extremely dangerous but it’s also contraband firecrackers are illegal in Colorado!” Mysterion told the villain

“I don’t give a shit about laws; all I want is payback….” Black Cobra replied as he prepared to light another rocket.

"Payback?" Mysterion raised an eyebrow

The rocket was lit and targeted at Mysterion. "Yes payback!" Black Cobra responded

Mysterion dodged, "What did we ever do to you?"

"Yeah we don't even know you.....do we?" Professor Chaos asked

"Sure you know me, you ruined my life. You and your other friend whom I've already messed with..." The Black Cobra sneered

"Who are you, Cobra?"

"Oh I can't tell you that you have to find out on your own. After all what good is keeping a secret identity if I just tell you." Black Cobra responded “But I suggest you best be on your guard or you may as well quit your pathetic hero title now. “He threatened

“Mysterion isn’t afraid of you! He’s South Park’s greatest hero ever!” Professor Chaos replied actually in defense of the good guy.

"As Chaos said, I'm not afraid of anyone." Mysterion said confidently

"Oh really no body and nothing at all scares you? We all have our weaknesses...." Black Cobra replied as he circled around the trio like a shark trying to seek out any said weak spots.

"So? Even if I had one, do you know it?" Mysterion challenged

"Maybe....if I knew who you were.....you're so good at hiding your identity aren't you? Everyone has the same basic face around here so you could be anyone..." Black Cobra replied "You're such a weak pathetic hero, saving an equally weak so called villain. Really Professor Chaos you call yourself a villain? Ever put anyone's lives in real danger?"

"Yes!" Chaos said defiantly

"Really? Like how?" Black Cobra asked scoffing "Ever set a house on fire with people inside? I have..." He added with an evil laughter

"I, uh... yeah! I burned plenty of houses on fire!" Chaos defended

"Really then this whole town should be rubble....but I don't see rubble..."Black Cobra mocked

"...okay, maybe I didn't. But I was the only real villain til you showed up" Chaos said

"Well might as well hang up your villain title....only room for REAL villains and not wanna bes...." Black Cobra laughed

Chaos punched Cobra hard

"Ha! You're weak!" Cobra mocked as he threw Professor Chaos on his back

Chaos took out something, "I was waiting for a special moment for this but, uh.." Chaos threw out the ninja star with dried blood, tossing it at Cobra...

Black Cobra tries to dodge it but manages to get nailed in his left shoulder. “AAAGH!!!” He screams as he holds his wounded shoulder. “YOU DICK!!”

"Oh dear, did I hurt him General Disarray?" Chaos asked concerned

"YOU FOOLS WILL PAY FOR THIS!!" Cobra threatened

"Apparently we're not as weak as you assumed...." Mysterion mocked

"FUCK OFF I WILL BE BACK!" The villain hissed as he dashed off into the night

“Whoa nice shot!” Disarray commented

"I wasn't aiming at him. I was hopin' I could just scare him." Chaos muttered

“With a ninja star?! Where’d you get that thing anyway?!” Disarray asked

"...long story." Chaos said

"Whoot that was some battle!" A voice came from a bit in the distance

"Whose that?" Disarray asked, the figure being just far enough to evade recognition

“Oh no one just a passerby…..” The shadow replied innocently

"Hello Dodger." Mysterion rolled his eyes

"Ok that's not fair...." The Dodger replied

"I thought you went home...." Chaos said

"What and miss all that action?" Dodger asked “Plus Mysterion you dropped your first aid kit….” He added as he pulled out the box of band aids Mysterion used to assist Chaos with his injuries.

Mysterion took it and muttered a barely coherent 'thanks'

“That was some awesome fighting technique Chaos; it took some serious guts to stand up to that bully.” The Dodger commented

"Th-thank you." Chaos bowed

"So...any ideas on who he was?" The Dodger asked as he stared at the remants of the blown up rockets.

"No" Mysterion said

"I don't know but I'm afraid to come in contact with him again..." Disarray replied still shaken from his ordeal

"Come along General Disarray." Chaos said as he comforted his sidekick. "You've had a long night hows about I but you a hot chocolate before escorting you home."

"Ok." Disarray replied

"A nice villain...now I've seen everything." The Dodger commented

"Not yet." Mysterion said

"Well we gotta go fellas.” Professor Chaos said as he and Disarray left for the night once again leaving Dodger and Mysterion alone.

"And the action dies..." The Dodger commented

"Yep"

The Dodger glanced at his watch. “And at only 9:45…..”

"What?!" Mysterion asked in disbelief.

"It's not even 10 check it yourself...” The Dodger replied as he showed Mysterion his watch

Mysterion checked it, "Damn you're right"

The Dodger and Mysterion stand around for a good few moments of awkward silence. There it continued until a great deal of rattling and yelling is heard as the two notice a large trash can barreling down a hill towards them.

"What the hell?"

"We're being attacked by trash cans!!" The Dodger yelled

The steel trash can barely misses them as it crashes into a tree and spills out its content which included a well beaten up Coon.

"What happened to you?" Mysterion asked

"Wha....." The Coon struggled to stand on his feet he slowly stood up revealing black eyes, a bleeding nose, and bruises about his face. "I....met up with a villain a minion of Chaos I presume. We went into battle and and he beat me....... "He cheated by giving me titty twister and an Indian burn before beating up my face and shoving me in that trash can!" The Coon replied.

Mysterion laughed

"Fuck you Kyle!" The Coon yelled “He’s so lucky I have a bad shoulder! Otherwise I would have kicked his ass!!” He added obviously in denial that anyone could win in a battle against him.

"Eh he's not so tough..." The Dodger said "Seems like another so called bully beating up the weak to make himself feel better."

“AY! I’m NOT weak! YOU are…” The Coon replied

“I’m not the one whom got their ass kicked by him.” The Dodger responded

"Both of you stop" Mysterion said

"What did I do?!" The Dodger asked

"You're both fighting"

"I don't have to listen to you Craig!" The Coon responded

"If you had listened the first time you wouldn't have been riding in the trash can....." The Dodger told him

"Exactly"

“Well he didn’t listen either…didn’t Mysterion order you to go home rookie??” The Coon taunting Dodger

“I was simply delivering Mysterion his box of band-aids…” The Dodger responded with a nervous laugh

"Riiiggghht." The Coon rolled his eyes

"Well I was!"

"Suck up..."

“Aww jealous cause you don’t have a sidekick?” The Dodger taunted

"Nope I'm a loner and beside you're not Mysterion's sidekick so HA!" The Coon taunted back

“Fuck you…..how comes we always end up in a fight? I get along better with Professor Chaos and he’s a villain! “The Dodger commented

"Because you're both egotistical." Mysterion suggested

"....I am?" Dodger asked

"Yes"

"I am not!" The Coon defended himself

Mysterion rolled his eyes

"What I want to help the innocent and have a bit of action and suddenly I'm self-centered?" The Dodger groans "I'm not in it to be a movie star portrayed by some big name celebrity with the movie spawning a dozen sequels... And then bombing at the box office."

"I never said self-centered, just egotistical. An ego doesn't mean being selfish"

"I want a movie with my hero being portrayed by Leonardo DeCaprio...." The Coon speaking a bit much then he would have liked

"........that's never happening...." The Dodger comments. "Unless he goes on an all you can eat buffet diet..”

“Pfff.” Mysterion scoffed as well.

“Oh Mysterion egotistical is self-centered….dictionary says so" Dodger said

"Well it's super similar but it's not quite the same, as egotism is more so about thinking you're better than the selfishness of taking things for yourself"

“…….what the hell are you talking about Mysterion?! All this egotism mumbo jumbo?! Fucking my brain hurts now!” The Coon replied

“So does mine….” The Dodger added

“Screw this I’m going home! I have to rest up to get revenge on the ass that gave me a titty twister!!!” The Coon said as the fat ass hero dashed off for the night.

"....how comes it always ends up with us being the last two on duty...?" The Dodger asked

"It's the natural progression of things. Look, it's getting late; we both better get some sleep if we want to be in time for the Test tomorrow."

"We have a test?!" The Dodger asked

"Yeah, Garrison mentioned it at the end of class dude, weren't you listening?" Mysterion asked

"I was....but wasn't that test on Thursday?" The Dodger asked

"It's Wednesday night. Your sleeping patterns must be so shook from becoming the Dodger you're losing track of time."

"Wednesday?! Fuck!!!" The Dodger exclaimed. "FUCK again!"

"Maybe you should give up the hero gig if you can't manage your time..." Mysterion suggested

"What about you?! I'm sure you fall asleep in class too...Craig! Yeah I caught you dozing off!" The Dodger replied

Mysterion rolled his eyes, "Yeah, Craig dozed off during one of Cartman's reports. Because Cartman is sooo entertaining. He could get his own TV show, you know." Mysterion said sarcastically

"Yeah he's so fat he'd be the entire show..." The Dodger replied
Mysterion chuckled, "Anyway, I need my rest. See you tomorrow I suppose"

"Alright nighty night." The Dodger replied as the two departed.
