Fight for Eddom

Chapter 1: The Changes

The day was just like any other, the sun shone high in the sky as the summer days ended and school began. Edd happily strolled toward his locker, awaiting another day of glorious education, while Eddy slowly walked, with despise for what he considered to be such a hellhole, and Ed ran idiotically smashing into every other door and every third wall. As usual the day passed so slowly. Everyone was their usual self. Sarah being a pain in the ass, Jimmy being a pansy, and so on, except for Nazz. Nazz was much different today. She looked the same except for the appearance of a strange plain dark gray ring.

As Edd walked into his science class the teacher asked for the chemical formula of Trinitrotoluene (TNT). Nobody stirred, as always Edd raised his hand, but for once someone else also rose their hand. The teacher called on her, Nazz, she recited perfectly out of memory "C6H2(NO2)3CH3." Everyone looked up amazed at those words. Edd turned to look at her with a smile and gave a silent congratulations. When the bell rang and everyone rushed to lunch, Edd walked and congratulated Nazz,

"Congratulations Nazz! I never knew you knew so much about science! Well, it certainly will be nice to not be the only brainiac around here!"

He chuckled and sped towards the cafeteria bidding farewell to Nazz. As Edd walked into the cafeteria, Ed and Eddy were already at their usual table and Edd was about to join them when Kevin pulled him toward his table were he shoved him down into a seat.

"Okay, Double Dee, we need your help. In science, that wasn't Nazz, it couldn't be," stated Kevin in a serious manner.

"Oh please, everyone can change, in fact I support Nazz for dedicating herself so, it'll be refreshing to not be the only one getting straight A's now. We should ask Nazz if you really can't bel-" replied Edd before he was as he would say, so rudely interrupted.

"Listen Double Dweeb, this isn't like her! Yesterday she was her normal self, but today..." Kevin paused. "... ever since she got that dumb ring she wouldn't even say a word to any of us."

Edd pondered this, it was true that Nazz was strangely less talkative outside of class. "I'll think this over, now that I think about this, it is too strange."

Edd looked over his shoulder and saw as Ed buried his face in the mashed potatoes he got for lunch and Eddy slowly bounced toward Edd wondering what he was talking about. Edd stood up from the table and before anyone could shove him back into his seat, he left and headed for his usual table. There Eddy was bouncing up and down in his seat.

"What did they want you for?" Shouted Eddy.

"Oh nothing really, they just think that Nazz is possessed or something of the sort,." replied Edd.

Eddies eyes widened. He stared vacantly at him. Ed's ears twitched and he listened in on the conversation.

"And? What do you think?" Asked Eddy strangely quietly, "Nazz, this can't be her..."

"What? You too?" he replied, "You are just like everyone else. insane! So she decided to study, no big deal."

Finally Ed entered the conversation. "Wanna know what I think guys?"

"No," said Eddy absent mindedly.

"Please, go on Ed, everything is welcome," said Edd.

"Well, Nazz was normal yesterday, but maybe, she was abducted during the night and turned smart! They must have a huge base where they experimented on subjects, but first turned em into their slaves so that they can use them as spys! As stated in issue 37 of Teachers From Mars."

"Shh!" shushed Edd as Nazz walked by. As they smiled at her, she simply looked at them with disgust, and her ring turned yellow for a quick millisecond. She continued on and sat by herself and she started reading a book and eating at the same time.

"Did you see that? She wouldn't look at anyone like that! That ring though, when did she get it? I never saw it before," outburst Edd, "We need to follow her home today. Look for any strange activity"

"Eh, nothing in it for me you can do it on your own." replied Eddy.

"I'll go Double Dee, I wont let you become one of them too!" outburst Ed.

"I'll get Kevin and the other to help too," said Edd, "they'll want to know what they can as soon as they can."

The hours passed and as Nazz left the school alone, everyone (except Eddy), followed her.

Please review and tell me what you think of the story so far. I know it might be a bit dark for Ed Edd and Eddy, but I feel that I'm great with this kind of genre.
