Chapter 1: Close Encounters of the Ed Kind - Part 1

Peach Creek

In the small town of Peach Creek, school has already been let out and all the kids who go to Peach Creek Jr. High are already enjoying their summer vacation as a certain trio of unscrupulous adolescents are on the verge of putting their summer plans into action. Trouble was they no idea what they're planning to do.

You see, these three misfits use to have a past time where they come up with money-grubbing schemes which would often lead them into catastrophic hijinks that would later come with severe repercussions. These three are known as Ed, Edd n Eddy. Ed, being the imbecile that he is, is usually gullible and always goes with whatever scam he and his friends are up to without giving a second thought. He also loves comics and buttered toast. Edd, also known as Double D, is a very introverted young man who is very intelligent and quite well-known to be neat freak which is not only his strength but his weakness. His most recognizable feature is a hat that always wears to cover most of his head. Eddy is a fast-talking loud mouth who is obsessed with money and is usually the so called "Man with a Plan" according to his peers. Although, he is the unofficial leader of the Eds, his big mouth and highly flawed scams would usually land them into trouble.

This summer, however, the Eds are done with scams all-together. This is due to the fact that an incident that took place way back last summer when the Eds pulled off a scam that escalated so badly that it finally pulled the final straw and broke the backs of the neighborhood kids (both literally and metaphorically) and set off a high-speed chase across the county which led to a confrontation between Eddy and his older brother which brought sympathy from the other kids. So now the Eds have finally found their place in the social circle of the Cul-de-sac and have no need to do any more scams.

But now, the Eds have nothing better to do since they have given up their lifestyle of conning kids of their money for jawbreakers. This revelation is bittersweet for the group, especially for Eddy.

"Well, fellows, it looks like another year has passed and a whole new chapter of our lives has already begun!" Beamed Edd who is currently walking home from school with his two friends, Ed and Eddy, trailing behind him. "One more year and we'll officially be Freshman in high school! I find this to be quite an achievement don't you think?"

Eddy looked at Edd with a bored expression while saying nothing at all while Ed gave a goofy expression on his face.

"Do you think noses think about what they smell?" asked Ed.

"I think about what you smell like all the time, Ed." retorted Eddy, who is still showing his bored face.

"Oh, so it isn't just me." said Ed, smiling.

"Ever since we've been accepted by the entire Cul-de-sac, our lives have changed for the better. The kids are nicer to us, we have gotten into less trouble, and not a single scam concocted." said Edd while counting fingers.

"So? Who cares? It's not like we won the Nobel Peace prize or something." begrudged Eddy.

"Why, Eddy, you seem to be in a condescending mood today. Why so glum?" asked Edd noticing his friend's bad mood.

"Gee, I don't know, why so lame, Double D?" mocked Eddy getting up in Edd's face.

"Ouch, that's gotta burn like acid, huh, Double D?" asked Ed in a clueless manner.

"'Ouch, that's gotta burn like acid, huh, Double D?'" imitated Eddy. "Yeah you're something, Ed, you know that?" He then rushed past Edd in a hurry as if he wanted to get away from the two of them.

Edd was astonished by Eddy's sudden attitude and begins to wonder what seemed to be bothering Eddy. He calls to Eddy. "Eddy, wait! What's the matter? I know you seemed distressed and all but could you at least talk to me and Ed for a second. We could at least try to understand your plight."

Eddy looked back at his two companions and bitterly responded back to them. "As if you would understand." He then walked away and said nothing else.

"What has gotten into him?" said Edd quizzically. "He hasn't acted like this before since who knows when."

"I don't know about you, but I too feel like walking away and wandering aimlessly around neighborhood." said Ed as he turns around and runs towards the opposite direction while laughing to himself until he was out of sight.

"Ed! Where are you going? Ed! Your house is that way!" hollered Edd.

It was no use, however, now that both of his friends have temporarily gone their separate ways.

"Well, this has been fine howdy-do afternoon now hasn't it?"

Eddy

'Stupid Ed, stupid Double D', thought Eddy as he walked through the Lane as a shortcut. 'They just don't get me at all! Ever since Mondo-a-go-go, my life has been nothing but a bore!'

Eddy has contemplated this very same thought for a while now. Although he no longer does any scams, even though they were the result of his insecurities, he still longs for the drive and the excitement that it gave him. To Eddy it was the only reason he, Double D and Ed would hang out a lot. You could say it is taboo, but in his mind, it's the only thing he knows how to do.

But that was a year ago, and there was no point in going back to that old life. Besides, he couldn't do that to his friends, especially to the ones he used to call the 'pain in his side' but have finally accepted him into their friend groups.

Eddy felt the need to break something just for thinking of it. Fortunately, he took it out on a nearby trashcan by kicking it over while spilling its contents in the process. He then leaned his back against the fence and dropped to the ground in despair.

"Why are you doing this to yourself, Eddy?" He asked himself. "You know that it's for the best. You haven't done any scams all year, so why stop there?" Eddy sighed in defeat realizing that nothing he can do can pull him out of its scam withdrawal. He laid his head against his knees and wrapped his arms around his legs putting himself in a despaired position.

Suddenly, he hears a rumbling noise that sounded like it came from the sky. He looks up to see a red light which looks to be like a portal of some kind. What came after, was a falling object that came shooting out of the red portal which was heading straight towards his direction.

"Holy crap, it's a meteor!" screamed Eddy as the object crashed and skidded straight into the Lane. Luckily, Eddy jumped out of the way before the object was able to hit him. Once the object has landed, Eddy looked around and noticed how much damage that the object caused.

"Oh, man, it took forever to rebuild all of this!" shouted Eddy who flashbacked to last time the Lane was destroyed by one of his scams. "More importantly though, what the heck was that?!"

Eddy walked through fence and sees that the damage has extended into Rolf's backyard, which happened to also be a small farm that his family owns. He then sees where the object has landed and takes a closer look at it. In the small crater that was carved by the rough landing, laid a large muscular man who looks to be at least 30-something, has spiky black hair, wears a torn red-orange gai (which has a strange looking symbol on the back which looks to be of Japanese origin), a blue undershirt, blue boots and a wristband on each arm.

He has scratches all over his face and body which were probably caused by the long fall. Eddy approached the strange man cautiously, unaware of who he is or where he came. He then picked up a stick and started poking him with it.

"Hey, buddy, are you dead or what?" Eddy asked rudely while poking him.

The man began to move a bit before he opened his eyes and looked to see the young boy standing over him. "Where am I?" The stranger asked weakly.

"Hey, if anyone's gonna ask questions it's gonna be me! First of all, who the heck are you and why did you fall from the sky?! Demanded Eddy who is frightened and confused by this stranger.

"Me? Oh, I'm Goku, of Earth." explained the stranger, sitting himself up and rubbing his head.

"Of Earth? What are ya, an astronaut? Cause you sure don't look like one."

"What? No, I'm not an astronaut, I'm a saiyan."

"Uh, what?"

"I'm saying that I'm a saiyan." repeated Goku.

"I'm confused. What are ya sayin?"

"So am I. Where am I?" asked Goku now realizing he is in an unfamiliar environment.

"What are ya blind? You're in Peach Creek! You are from 'Earth', aren't you?" retorted Eddy feeling rather irritated by this character.

"I don't think I've ever heard of this place. But I can't stay long, I need to get back to my friends. They're probably still in danger as we speak." explained Goku who then got up on his own two feet, puts two of his fingers to his forehead. "Well, see ya!" He then suddenly vanished into thin air right before Eddy's eyes.

Eddy went wide-eyed after witnessing Goku disappear. "What the heck?! Where did he go?! Is he some kind of magician?!?"

A moment later, Goku suddenly reappears in the air and then falls to the ground landing right on top of Eddy. "That's weird. My Instant Transmission usually gets me to where I need to go."

"Hey, here's an idea: how about you get your butt off me!!" yelled Eddy being crushed underneath Goku's weight.

"Oh, sorry, friend." apologized Goku while pulling himself off of Eddy. "I guess there must be something keeping me from transmitting back home."

"Yeah, whatever, just how did you do that? That… that… whoosh thing?" questioned Eddy who was trying to find the right words for what he saw.

"You mean my Instant Transmission? That's just one of my abilities." explained Goku.

"Abilities? You mean, like, super powers? Does that mean you're a superhero?!" asked an astonished Eddy.

"Well, I wouldn't say I'm a superhero, but I do know that I am a saiyan."

"I still don't know what you're saying but if you do have powers like you say you do then the whole neighborhood is gonna wanna see this!" exclaimed Eddy. 'And maybe I can make some money off of this guy! I mean it's just one little scam, it won't hurt nobody no how! I like the way you think! Thanks, you're not so bad yourself! Oh stop! No you stop!'

"By the way, what did you say your name was?" asked Goku interrupting Eddy's train of thought.

Eddy turned towards the tall saiyan with a nervous face but quickly changed to a straight one. "Uh, Eddy."

"Well, it's nice to meet you, Eddy." smiled Goku. "So how long will it take to meet your friends?"

"Oh, it won't take long at all. It'll only take a few minutes don't worry about it." assured Eddy while dragging Goku by one arm like a child.

"Good, cause I need to get back to my friends and family. And maybe get something to eat cause I'm star--" Goku stops mid sentence to look towards a different direction with a worried expression.

"Did you say something Go… ku?" said Eddy noticing the saiyan's expression. "What'cha looking at?"

"I sense something… something big."

"What you're a Jedi now?"

"No, there's a strong power level nearby… and it's getting close."

"It's probably just a stupid bird, now come on, we gotta find Double D and Ed so we can--"

Suddenly an unbroken part of the fence is destroyed by a fiery explosion creating a cloud of smoke around the surrounding area. Both Eddy and Goku are engulfed by the dark plume of ash and cinder, prompting Goku to shield the small Ed-boy from the force of the explosion. Once the smoke clears and the air is thin enough to breathe, Eddy emerges from Goku's protective position and looks over to see another figure standing in the middle of the destroyed backyard.

The figure appeared to be a lean, muscular teenager, with spiky, pink hair. He dons a black, gold-trimmed waistcoat and white trousers with a leather belt, along with a pair of sandals and a scale patterned scarf wrapped around his neck. His face bears a jagged scar across his right cheek, but what made him more intimidating was his red, black pin-pricked eyes. His appearance was less than welcoming.

Seeing this new face made Eddy cringe with fear. Goku, however, gave a steely expression towards this newcomer, as if he knew what he came for. Eddy leaned in towards Goku and whispered in his direction. "Hey, Goku? Do you know this guy? Cause it looks like you owe em' money or something."

"Not exactly, but I'm pretty sure he's looking for trouble." deduced Goku still giving the strong stare towards the other stranger.

The intimidating teen stared back at him with animalistic hostility and started to seethe and shake with uncontrollable rage which built up into a bloodcurdling roar signaling an oncoming attack. Luckily, for Goku he knows that when it comes to a challenge, he never backs down from fight.

"Looks like you're looking for a fight, huh? Okay, let's go!"

The teen, ready to tear the saiyan limb from limb, made his first move

Edd

Soon after Eddy storms off due to some unresolved issues as well as Ed (well because he's Ed) this leaves with only Edd to walk home by himself. After seeing Eddy walk away in such a hurry, it makes Edd wonder... why? Why is Eddy acting like this? Is he having trouble adjusting to this new life in the Cul-de-sac? Or maybe it's because of some issues he has at home? Or… something else?

"I hope whatever Eddy is having trouble with I hope it's nothing serious, otherwise me and Ed would have to intervene." Edd contemplated as he approaches his residence. "Oh well, I guess maybe tomorrow if Eddy gets the chance he may be able to talk to us."

'If he can talk to us.' Edd thought once he reaches the front door of his home. He grabs knob on the door to turn it, only to realize that it's locked. 'Well, the door's locked again. Which means that my parents are at work, again."

Since Edd's parents are complete workaholics, they usually come home late at night by the time Edd's in bed. Which is why he always carries his house keys in case he comes home before they do. That is if he can find his house keys.

"Oh curse my key-collecting habit, I really need to find a more organised hobby." complained Edd while sorting through an entire ring of keys.

It took a good while until he finally found the right key. With a satisfied grin, Edd then inserts the key into the lock to unlock when he hears a rumbling noise. 'Strange' thought Edd. "It couldn't be a thunder storm. The weather report called for sunshine all day. Then again you can never predict summer rains."

He then noticed a strange red light in the sky. It was almost like a vortex from another dimension. "My word, this is such a strange phenomenon! This requires some analysis." said Edd astonishingly as he pulls out a pair of binoculars. "Could this be a light anomaly or maybe a paradigm shift in the atmosphere?"

He may get his answer soon enough when sees an object falling from the sky heading straight for the Cul-de-sac. "Wait, is that…?"

Upon close inspection with his binoculars, the falling object appears to be a person descending from above.

"Good lord! That man is about to hit the ground!" Edd soon realized as he witnesses the man landing smack dab in the middle of the Cul-de-sac. Concerned for the individual's well-being, he immediately rushes over to assist in any way that he can.

Once he gets close to him, he starts to notice some distinct about this man: He looks like a small child (although his size made him seem that way, he may be older than he looks), he has golden-blonde hair styled into a braided ponytail and with his bangs parted to the sides, yellow eyes which also resembles gold, a black shirt, with matching pants and shoes as well as white gloves. What stood out the most, though, was his crimson-red coat which was nearly torn to shreds.

He had some scratches on his face and a bloody lip, but other than that he doesn't have any other serious injuries. Edd then looked closely at his right arm and noticed that it had some metal plating all over it. "How peculiar, is this some sort of mechanical appendage? My what a marvel this is! I've never seen such complex machinery used this way before!"

The young blonde slowly opens his eyes. His vision was quite blurry and his head felt light, and yet he feels as though someone is looking over to him. He slowly raised his upper body up and rubbed his aching head. He groaned a bit before his vision started to clear a bit and looks over to his right side to see a young boy inspecting his armor-like arm. His immediate reaction wasn't exactly a warm welcome.

"AH!"

As both Edd and the stranger both screamed at each other in surprise, the blonde quickly scooted away and pulls out his mechanical arm which switches out into a long blade and aims it towards the hat-wearing Ed-boy.

"Who are you and what were you doing to my arm?!" yelled the panicked blonde who is suddenly taken aback by this young man who has taken an interest in his mechanical appendage.

"I-- I apologize, dear sir, I was just observing the intricate design of your arm, I didn't mean anything by it!" trembled Edd.

"How do I know you're not trying to take it and turn it to scrap?!" accused the blonde.

"Why-- I never! I would never steal a prosthetic limb from anyone, honest!"

"If you think you can--" the short teen stops mid sentence to take a good look at his surroundings. "Wait a minute… I don't think I'm in Amestris anymore, am I?"

"Amestris? Is that a city in Greece, because I don't think I've ever heard of it before." asked Edd who has no idea as to what this young man was referring to.

"Yeah, sure, cause everybody back home just loves to paint each other naked." said the blonde sarcastically.

"Right… do you have a name by any chance?" Edd asks questionably.

"Edward... Edward Elric." responded the teen who retracts the blade in his arm seeing as how this young boy was no threat whatsoever.

"What a coincidence! My name is also happens to be, Eddward!" beamed Edd. "Although the only difference is is that my name is spelled with an extra 'D', so, likewise, my personal preference would usually be Double D, in accordance to my peers."

"Wow, what a small world we live in." said Edward sardonically.

Edward then notices that his red jacket has been torn severely. "Dammit, not again."

"Oh my, do you need help repairing your jacket? My mother has a sewing machine that I could use to fix it." offered Edd.

"Nah, don't sweat it, I got it." The small teen took what's left of his apparel and started mending it with, not a needle and thread, but with some kind of 'magic' fiber.

This astounded Edd as he observed Edward using nothing but air to make his jacket whole again. Once he was finished, he puts the jacket back on his person, satisfied with the results.

"How did you do that?!" said the stunned Ed-boy.

"That, my friend, is a little bit of alchemy." demonstrated Edward feeling proud that he impressed this infatuated kid.

"Alchemy? Impossible! Alchemy doesn't have any magical properties, it is merely just a metaphysical science that later paved the way for modern science such as chemistry!" explained Edd still dumbfounded by this revelation.

"Well, not exactly. Alchemy is also an ancient mystical art that can be used to manipulate matter using natural energy." Edward explained. "It can be used for Comprehension, Deconstruction and Reconstruction, like my jacket for instance: I used a red cloth to make this into a complete piece of clothing. And if it gets torn I can just repair it."

"How fascinating! Do you think you can show me a little more demonstration?" asked Edd enthusiastically.

"I wish I could, but I need to get back to my brother, Alphonse." said Edward with a straight face.

"Your brother?"

"Yeah, I hope he's okay, if anything happens to him I wouldn't forgive myself."

Edd realizes how important Edward's brother's wellbeing must be for him. He couldn't help but feel sympathy for the young alchemist. "I'm dreadfully sorry, Edward, you must be a long way from home aren't you?"

"From looks of it, yeah, but I can't tell whether I'm in the same place as Amestris or my brother." Edward expressed confusion and shock as he said this.

"If I could help in any way, just let me know." offered Edd who rested his hand on the alchemist's shoulder in comfort.

"You know, for someone I just met, even after I threatened to stab you with my automail arm, you're alright." Edward gave Edd a thumbs up who smiled at the polite gesture.

"Why thank you, Edward. By the way, that was a nasty fall you had there. I hope you don't mind if I used a first aid kit to fix your wounds." insisted Edd.

"Honestly, I felt a lot worse than just a busted lip, but since I get hurt on a regular basis, I guess it doesn't matter."

"Excellent, once we get to my house, I'll see to it that you make yourself at home."

"Are you sure, I wouldn't wanna be a burden."

"Oh, don't fret yourself, it's no trouble at--" Just as Edd was about to finish his last sentence, an explosion interrupts the conversation between the two.

Both Edd and Edward looked on in horror as a huge ball of flames lit up the entire Cul-de-sac right behind Rolf's house.

"Oh my! Someone call the fire department!" yelled Edd seeing the flames light up the sky while producing smoke that's filling the entire air.

"What's all this chaotic hullabaloo about, hmm?" exclaimed the tall, blue-haired kid of foreign descent known as Rolf, who suddenly appeared on the scene. "Double D-Ed-boy! What seems to be causing so much discord in the Cul-de-sac? And who is your little companion whose hair bears the color of the golden squash?"

"Little?!" exclaimed an offended Edward.

As Edd was about to explain, Rolf already notices his farm caught in a blaze. This leads Rolf into a panic.

"Rolf's soil has been compromised by the rage of the Flame Spirit! Rolf must give aid to the rutabagas! VICTOR!!! WILFRED!!! ROLF IS COMING!!!" Rolf screamed as he rushed towards his flaming plantation without hesitation.

"Did you hear what he just said to me?! He called me little!!" exclaimed Edward who was still fuming after Rolf's inadvertently called him 'little'.

"I'm more concerned about the welfare of Rolf's safety than your abnormal height at the moment." contradicted Edd who was slightly appalled by Edward's selfish behavior.

"Well I--" Before he could follow with a retort, Edward noticed another figure walking down the street heading for their direction. "Hey, who's that over there?"

Edd followed to where his friend pointed to the figure who was slowly walking his way towards the two of them.

"I'm not sure. Do you think he needs our assistance?" suggested Edd.

"I don't know, but I'm getting a bad feeling off of this guy."

"I'm sure he's just passing by here for bit, or perhaps he's lost his way."

"Well, we don't know for sure, so I wouldn't put my guard down if I were you." advised Edward.

"Right, so why don't we both go talk to him?"

"Good idea." nodded Edward as they approach this other stranger with caution.

As they got close to him, they notice some distinct features that made him seem out of place: He is a young adult of average size and build, with dark-brown hair and he wore an outfit that consisted of a light-brown jacket with badges on the shoulders and pocket square which resembled wings, a beige-colored undershirt, white pants, a dark-brown sash around the waist, and brown knee-high boots, along with some suspenders strapped along the legs and chest. He has some kind of equipment strapped to the sides of his hips. His head was hanging low so they couldn't see his eyes.

Edd was the first to approach the individual and spoke to him. "Hello, good sir, are you lost by any chance? If so, me and my friend might be able to help you." insisted Edd but couldn't get response from him. He still hadn't said anything but the moment was clearly getting intense the longer it lasted.

Edd broke the silence once more. "Now if you're in need of help, just say the word and we will assist you." The young man still hasn't said anything. Edd looked over to Edward who just shrugged it off.

Finally, Edd decides to mount a little pressure on him. "Excuse me, but I specifically inquired that if you need help, just say so! Otherwise, I should advise you to move along because it is rude to not speak when spoken t--"

Before Edd had time to react, the young man quickly drew out two small swords from his equipment and charged at the Ed-boy with a feral scream, jumped up in the air to deliver a fatal blow, but instead it was intercepted by Edward's automail arm, creating a loud clanging noise.

It was at that point in time as the two of them were temporarily at a standstill, Edd made a huge gasp, realizing that he just had a near-death experience, fainted as Edward and the young man broke the stalemate. The young man used his stamina to regain his position and looked on towards Edward with broiled animosity. The alchemist looked back him noticing that he his eyes were red and had barely visible black pin-pricked pupils.

Edward had a feeling that there was something off about this character. And he was right.

"Looks like I'm gonna have to save that first aid kit for you when I'm done turning your ass into grass." proclaimed Edward. "If you think you attack an unarmed kid, think again."

The young man trembled with anger until he charges at the small alchemist, but not before he shouts out a strange phrase that is hard to comprehend: "KISHI O KOROSU, HIKARI O KOROSU!!!!!"

Ed

After leaving Double D behind, Ed, being the lovable lunk that he is, is still running to who knows where which leads him near the creek. No matter where he goes he is always stuck in his own little world, paying no attention to his surroundings. His imagination is always a catharsis when it comes to his everyday life, always imagining things that would either bring comfort or anguish. His imagination is actually a lot more powerful than it seems. It may seem like an illusion to most, but to people like Ed, a strong imagination can be a powerful tool. It can either be amazing… or terrifying.

"Hey, Ed!"

Ed snapped back to reality when he hears his friend, Johnny 2x4, and his friend, Plank (who is a piece of wood with a face on it) call out to him from the edge of the creek.

"Hi, Johnny! Hi, Plank!" greeted Ed who walked up beside them to see what they were doing. "What'cha doin, guys?"

"Oh, nothing, just fishing for clams. Boy, the clams must be hibernating this year, huh Plank?" Johnny said to his wooden companion. "Do think you can help us catch some, Ed?"

"Does an alien gorilla eat squabs for breakfast?" said Ed with his daily quizzical references.

"Haha, you're funny Ed!" laughed Johnny.

"What do I do, Johnny?"

"Just hold on to this fishing rod and wait until you get a nibble." demonstrated Johnny. "And when you do, just pull it back hard!"

"Like what my Mom and Dad does?" asked Ed.

"Haha!! Oh man, Ed you really kill me!" laughed Johnny slapping Ed on the back. Ed laughed along with Johnny for a bit until he walks off.

"Wait…" Ed thought for a moment. "I don't get it."

While Ed was waiting to catch a clam, Johnny went behind a tree, looks to see if anyone is watching and then slinks his head behind it. On the other side of the tree, he consults with Plank, whom he believes to be a real person.

"So should we do it now, or what?" whispered Johnny who leans in to listen to the piece of wood as if to expect an answer. "Really, right now?"

After another moment of silence, he then expresses a malicious grin as a sign of his dark nature. "Okay, buddy."

He then puts on an outfit which includes a gourd shaped into a helmet and long flowing cape as well as a spandex suit. Plank also wears an outfit which is only a mask and a small cape.

"Once I get rid of this worthless Ed, I, The Gourd and his sidekick, Timber the Dark Shard, shall eliminate each and every Ed in the Cul-de-sac, along with anyone else who gets in my way! And once I am disposed of them, I will take over Peach Creek, and soon… THE WORLD!!! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA--" Johnny stops laughing for a moment to see if anyone has overheard him before continuing with his laugh in a quieter volume. "--hahahaha."

He steps out from behind the tree to see Ed still sitting on the creek bed. "Perfect, he's still there." Johnny said wickedly. He pulls out a comically sized mallet with every intention of smashing Ed to a bloody pulp.

"Time to put my plan into action." proclaimed Johnny as he approaches the poor Ed-boy to enact his evil plan. Once he gets close enough, he raises his mallet and builds up the adrenaline in his system so that when makes the perfect strike, it would put the 'pleasure' in 'pain and pleasure'. "Time to go night-night, Ed, forever."

However, before Johnny could put him out of his misery, a rumbling sound distracted him from Ed and he looks up to the sky to see a large red light in shape of a vortex and notices multiple objects falling from the vortex and one of them went straight for him. As it when straight for him, though, the object made a loud noise as it zoomed through the sky. Almost like it was saying something.

"INCOMINNNNGGGGGG!!!!!"

"HOLY TOLE--"

The object slammed into Johnny before he had time to think causing the both Johnny and the object to tumble into the creek. Despite all the ruckus that had occurred just a few inches behind him, Ed devoted his entire attention on catching a clam, not noticing a single thing that happened while he was focused on that tiny bobber floating in the water.

Just then, the bobber started to sink in the water indicating that Ed has caught something. "Oh, a nibble! Pull it hard like my Mom and Dad!" Ed does as so, pulling back the rod and drags out a 100 lb clam from the creek. "Hey, Johnny! I got a clam! And it's a whopper! Johnny? Johnny! Hmm, he probably went to go tinkle."

He then looks over to the water and sees air bubbles rising from underneath the surface. "Hey, look! Bubbles! Must be a clam, and boy is it gassy. I'm gonna catch it. For I am Neptune!" He then walks back a bit before running towards the water and then jumps in.

"Cannonball!" Ed lands in the water submerging beneath the surface to retrieve the clam that may be sitting at the bottom. After a few moments, Ed comes back up, but instead of finding a clam, he instead finds a person, who was supposedly drowning in water waiting to be rescued, but Ed didn't think twice about what he did.

He puts the person down on the creek bed so that he could breathe. Ed took a good look at him and noticed that he is a rather skinny yet muscular teenager, about 18 or 19, he has messy black hair, a crescent shaped scar curved under his left eye and a large cross-shaped scar across his upper chest. He wears an open, red cardigan, blue trousers with a yellow sash across his waist, open-toed sandals and, of course, a straw hat that he wears on his head.

After a few moments, Ed notices that the young boy wasn't moving. He wasn't sure what to do until he remembered what Edd told him the other day. 'Remember this, Ed, when a person is choking or drowning, give them some oxygen by resuscitating the subject by applying force on the individual's diaphragm below the lungs so that the obstruction can be dislodged from their--'

"Uhh… what?"

"Oh for heaven's sakes... PRESS DOWN ON HIM SO HE COULD BREATHE!! HURRY, MAN, HE COULD BE DYING!!!"

"Okay, Double D's voice in my head!"

"Sigh... why do I even bother?"

Once Ed finally comes to his senses he starts jumping down on the boy's chest. He repeats this step until the young man finally coughs up a ginormous stream of water from his mouth, letting out all sorts of underwater life including: fish, seaweed and an anchor.

The boy finally takes in some air until he breathed at a normal pace. "Oh man, how long was I out?" The boy looks over to see Ed covered in seaweed. "Hi! Nice to meet ya!"

"Hello!" greeted Ed who waved back at the strange boy.

"Name's Monkey D. Luffy! What's yours?"

"My name is Ed!"

"Hi Ed! Say, why am I wet? Did I almost drown again?"

"Drown? Oh, I thought you were a gassy clam, so I pulled you out and gave you air because a friend in my head told me to."

"Sigh... again."

"So… you saved my life? Wow! That's awesome! I really owe you my life, don't I?" exclaimed Luffy being ultimately grateful that this other boy came to his rescue.

"I also caught a really big clam, see." Ed pointed to the large clam sitting next them.

"WOW!! That's the biggest clam I ever did see! You must be really good at catching these! Say, you wanna be my Nakama?" offered Luffy with unbridled excitement.

"I don't know what a Nuck-ama is, but okey-dokey, hokey-pokey!" agreed Ed even though he has know idea what he (or anyone else) is talking about.

"Awesome! You'll fit right in with my crew! Speaking of which, where is my crew?"

"Crew? Like a pirate crew?"

"That's right!"

"Oh, do you drink rum and… and pillage stuff and… and hunt for booty and… and have parrots that go 'SQUAWK Swarthy!'" Ed listed while Luffy nods 'yes' to every question he asks.

"Yeah! And there is certain treasure that I've been looking for a good while now that's the called the One Piece!" Luffy explained. "And they say that whoever finds it gets to be the King of Pirates! And my only goal in life is to find it so I can achieve my dream because everyone deserves a chance to dream!"

"All hail King Luffy!" beamed Ed as he bowed down to Luffy as if he was a monarch.

"However, the only way I can find it is if I had my crew. So are you sure you haven't seen a ship called the 'Thousand Sunny' go by haven't you?"

"Nope, nuh-uh."

"Hmm, maybe if I--" Luffy over to the distance only to notice that the ocean isn't there. "Uh… what island am I on?"

"Oh, it's not an island, it's land."

"Then I must be in the Grand Line… right?"

"A Grand what?"

Luffy started to panic a little as he slowly realizes that he is not where he's supposed to be. "Oh no! No, no, no, no, no, NONONONOOOOOOO!!! WHERE AM I?!? WHERE'S MY SHIP?!? MY CREW?!? IT'S ALL GONE!!! GONE!!! AAAAAAHHH!!!"

He starts to bawl his eyes out like mad, wondering where he was or where his crewmates. Seeing this poor pirate having this episode made Ed feel bad for him. So he goes up to Luffy to console him.

"It's okay, your majesty, we'll find your crew. That way you can live out your dream and be at peace with yourself." soothed Ed who truly understood his misery.

"You will?" sobbed Luffy as Ed nodded, confirming his promise to him.

This made Luffy very happy. "Oh thank you! Thankyouthankyouthankyou!!!" smiled Luffy who pulled Ed into a tight hug and thrashed him around a bit which made Ed giggle.

"Now! Let's get something to eat!" beamed Luffy clapping his hands together. "How about that clam you caught! Looks pretty tasty! If only Sanjii were here, he would've made us some clam chowder."

"Double D likes to cook, maybe he can make it for us." suggested Ed.

"Works for me!" says an ecstatic Luffy picking up the giant clam with one arm.

"Let's go!"

"Hello, Ed"

Ed and Luffy look towards the direction in which the voice originated from and it came from none-other than Johnny who was sopping wet from being thrown into the creek. His suit was saggy and dripping wet.

He is also has Plank in one hand and a crushed gourd helmet in the other. He was clearly beyond upset. He was humiliated.

"Hi Johnny! I got a clam! And I made a new friend! His name's Luffy and he's going to be a pirate ki--"

"I DON'T CARE!!!" screeched Johnny as he threw down his gourd helmet leaving Ed and Luffy speechless.

"You and the entire Cul-de-sac have ruined me for the last time! I swear I'll get you for this Ed! Just you wait! I'll get you, your friends, your pathetic pirate king and your giant clam, too! Vengeance! Vengeance, I tell you!! FOR I AM THE GOU--"

Suddenly, an unknown force kicks Johnny from behind him so hard that it's sends him flying over the trees screaming his final word in a surprised octave.

"It's good!" cheered Ed as Johnny flies out of sight.

"Wonder what his problem was?" questioned Luffy until he looked over to see what made 2x4 fly so high.

It was another young teen with spiky blonde hair with whisker-like markings on his face. He wore an orange and black jacket with orange pants and open-toed shoes as well as a forehead protector with an insignia of some sort as if he belonged to a certain group. His eyes, however, made him seem threatening due to them being completely with only black pinpricks in the center.

Ed realized how dangerous this individual was and so did Luffy. Only difference is is that Luffy sees danger as a challenge.

"So, you here to challenge me: Monkey D. Luffy?"

The only response he got was a demonic voice screaming: "KISHI O KOROSU HIKARI O KOROSU!!!"

"Hm, thought so." Luffy smiled confidently as he sets the clam down and gets into fighting stance.

"Go get em', captain!" cheered Ed.

"You hear that? That's the sound of my nakama cheering me on. But I can tell you look like the kinda guy who's got a friend or two yourself don't ya?"

The challenger only looked on with rage as he gets ready to fight his opponent.

Three battles. Three winners. And one big epic crossover event of the ages. Who will live? Who will die? And who will rise up to protect what is right? It all begins… now.

A/N: Well I hope you all enjoyed that, as well as the opening theme. (Although I may have added a little too much pizazz to it idk :P). Let me know what you guys think and don't forget to read and review. And if this goes well I might keep the ball rolling for a bit. Bye-bye! *cute, awkward wink*
