Homestar Runner - The Sawchain

A person named Kir loved Homestar Runner as a kid, and ever since he came back to the website, he was so content to see a new short done in a different style from usual uploads to it. It was known as "The Sawchain." Hyped to see the cool name of the toon, he pressed it almost immediately after a 5-minute bout of screams and jumps.

## The Episode

The episode starts with Strong Bad watching TV. Strong Sad arrives with a chainsaw in his hands. "Strong Bad, look what I found!" He said. Strong Bad looked at Strong Sad's acquired chainsaw, and did not say anything. "I call it a Sawchain," Strong Sad said, "I use it to cut iron chains." Strong Bad is disappointed at Strong Sad for finding such a dangerous weapon. "Look, this thing can kill people, you know. You gotta be careful not to hurt someone. Or yourself. Or even me, really." Strong Bad said. Strong Sad nods his head as if he responded yes, and walks away.

Strong Sad finds Homestar Runner chained to a pole, and uses his chainsaw as planned. Strong Sad cuts the iron chains to free Homestar Runner. "Hey, Strong Sad," said Homestar, "Thanks for saving me." Strong Sad didn't say anything. As Homestar Runner ran off, Strong Sad started to go insane. He started to chuckle uncharacteristically. And before his insanity peaks, he runs of to Strong Bad.

Strong Bad was looking at himself in the mirror, when all of a sudden, Strong Sad came in with a chainsaw in his hand, laughing softly while his eye is twitching. "Strong Sad, put that down," said Strong Bad. Strong Sad's laughing only got slightly louder. "I can't," said Strong Sad, "This Sawchain is attaching itself onto my character, I don't know how to drop it anymore!" Strong Bad was annoyed. "Just open your hands," Strong Bad said. The laughing only got louder and more maniacal. Then, Strong Sad finally snapped. "Oh, Strong Bad, didn't you think you can get away this easily?" Asked Strong Sad, now having gone insane. He readied his chainsaw, and it cut to black.

Homestar entered the house when he heard chainsaw noises, as well as Strong Bad screaming. The moment he entered the bathroom, he saw Strong Sad and Strong Bad. Strong Sad was laughing maniacally with his chainsaw using its power, while Strong Bad was sitting there with a stab wound in his torso, his eyes wide open, his mouth bleeding, seemingly dead before Homestar's eyes. Homestar was scared, as he had never seen Strong Sad go this insane. "It's almost time," said Strong Sad. And readying his chainsaw, he threw it at Homestar. As Homestar dodged it, the chainsaw flied until it reached the hall, it then turned around and it struck Strong Sad, and he slumps on the bathroom wall.

A second Strong Sad enters the room, wondering what is going on. He then notices Strong Bad, and immediately came to his aid. "Are you okay?" Asked the second Strong Sad, covering Strong Bad's wounds with a medical gauze roll. Strong Bad blinked and slowly stood up. "Yeah, I'm fine. I just have the suspicion that the Sawchain-wielding Strong Sad is not Strong Sad at all," He said. Homestar Runner was relieved to see that Strong Bad is not dead, then instantly goes into his normal dumbfounded expression on his face. "So guys, I heard there's this new sale at Bubs', wanna check it out?" Homestar asked. Both brothers agreed to this, and walk off, leaving the first Strong Sad behind.

The first Strong Sad then snaps into consciousness and stands up. He takes his chainsaw out of his body, and gets a tight grip on it. He chuckles softly. "Well well well, looks like the Homestar Runnner and Strong Bad have escaped my grasp," said the first "Strong Sad." "Hahaha, I'll get them next time, but not the other residents of Free Country, USA. There's no need in killing the unpopular people. But there's one thing to know." "Strong Sad" starts to laugh, and it gets louder and more maniacal. He said, "I'm not Strong Sad anymore. I'm the Sawchain. Named after my chainsaw. I will kill the popular residents of Free Country, USA, and I will cut any iron chain. Just you wait, Strong Bad and Homestar, just you wait." It cut to black, and after the Sawchain's laughter stopped, the page redirects to Main Page 7.

## The Aftermath

Kir, traumatized at what monster was created in the episode, concluded that the Sawchain ended up being one of the coolest Homestar toons to him. Kir, both scared and excited at the same time, drew "Strong Sad" with the chainsaw in his hands, known as The Sawchain. He then hid the drawing in a drawer, because he doesn't want his mom catching him with a bloody drawing. Too bad he can't watch the Sawchain toon again, as every time he goes back to the link, he is greeted with the 404 page.
