Chapter 1: Casual Day
On a warm sunny day in the tenth of July, the Eds are sitting around in Ed's room thinking of a way to kill time. Unfortunately, no one thought of anything for an hour.
"Anyone got an idea to come up with? Double D?" Eddy asked.
"Nope, I have nothing to think of Eddy." Edd answered.
"Dang. How 'bout you, Monobrow?"
Ed doesn't respond; he's just sitting there reading his comic book.
Eddy calls, "Yo, lumpy. Ed!"
"Yeah, Eddy?" Ed asked.
"Do you have an idea for what we're going to do today?"
"Nope, didn't have a bath for eight years, Eddy."
Eddy face palms his forehead and groans, "Idiot... Man, we're running out of ideas."
Edd checks his watch, "Running out of time as well. I promised my parents to come home at 6:00. See you tomorrow, Eddy."
"Okay, see ya." Eddy suddenly had an idea, "Wait! Double D!"
Edd stops, "Eddy?"
"Time? Time... time... time machine! That's it! We should build a time machine! A real one!"
"A real time machine, Eddy?" Edd questioned, "Please, an experiment like that could take years to build something like this. I mean you can't just—"
Eddy interrupts him, "But Sock-head, if we had a time machine; we could do whatever we want in time. We could make big money for this."
"Even if we were able to make a real time machine and do what we want, what we would do in the past could alter the future Eddy. And besides, the last time we build a 'time machine' was when we used it for a scam to fool Johnny, Plank, and Jimmy into thinking they were in the dinosaur years; which yet fell apart like your other scams."
"And your point is?"
"All I'm saying is it's just scientifically impossible to build a real time machine in a short amount of days."
"Come on, Double D! I've always wanted be a time traveler like those guys on TV!" Ed begged, "Like in 'Jerry, the Time Traveler Hero'!"
"Yeah, come on, Sock-head. You'd really want to see a sad face coming from Ed?" Eddy said with a smirk and showing Ed's sad face to Edd.
Edd sighs, knowing this was one of Eddy's tricks, and gives in, "If it's really that important to you, I'll do it."
"Woo-hoo!" Eddy cheered.
"Yay!" Ed cheered.
"I will need some tools, though. Make sure you and Ed get the materials we'll need for tomorrow." Edd stated as he left.
"Oakey-dokey, Double D." Ed replied.
"All right, Lumpy. Let's head to junkyard!" Eddy implied.
Ed runs through Eddy and asks, "Will there be buttered toast and gravy on the way, Eddy?"
As Edd heads home, Ed and Eddy now head to the junkyard to get ready for tomorrow to build the time machine.
2 ½ weeks later...
Time has passed by and the Eds are now building the time machine at Eddy's backyard. Edd as usual works the machine on his own while Eddy lazes about in the shade and Ed just stands around, but he is doing something more different than usual.
"How's the time machine going, Double D?" Eddy asked.
"It's going well, Eddy. Just a few more objects to complete." Edd said before he searches the toolbox for the wrench, but it is nowhere to be found. He looks around and asks Eddy, "Eddy, where's the wrench?"
"How am I supposed to know?" Eddy questioned.
Edd searches around and sees Ed is playing with the wrench.
"Die, you foul, evil, space mutants! Fear the wrath of my ultimate Plasma Cutter! Pew! Die! Pie!" Ed exclaimed as he fights off the 'mutants' in his imagination.
Edd and Eddy are staring blankly at what Ed was doing.
"What do you think Monobrow's doing?" Eddy asked.
"Having fun in his imaginations with the wrench, obviously." Edd answered.
"Yah! Yah! I am too powerful for you, you evil, ugly alien!" then he pretends to stab himself with the wrench, "Oh, no! The Necro-m-morphs...! T-they... g-got... me...!" Ed proclaimed falling to the ground, pretending to be dead.
"Any comments on that, Eddy?" Edd asked.
"Too easy." Eddy replied, "Ed, what are you doing?"
"I can't talk, Eddy. I'm dead." Ed answered before he stuck his tongue out of his mouth.
"Dead? What the heck are you talking about?"
"I meant, I'm dead from getting killed by the Necromorphs."
"Necromorphs, Ed?" Edd questioned.
"Yeah." Ed answered as he gets up, "It's all from this video game I got last week." he then pulls out a video game from his jacket and passes it to Edd.
"Dead Space? What exactly is 'Dead Space'?" Edd asked.
"It's where the engineer, Isaac Clarke, fights off the slimy, mutated, aliens known as Necromorphs inside the abandoned USG Ishimura and that he has to figure out what happened in there and where the infection came from." Ed explained, "I've already got the comic books, the movies, and parts one and two from the game. I sure hope to get the third one when it comes out. It's the KING of all horror games. Better than DOOM."
"Hmm. Speaking of Dead Space..." Eddy reaches in his shirt, "...you mean like this one?"
"Yeah, like that one. Wait." Ed's eyes widens up then jumps on Eddy, "That's the special edition of Dead Space: Salvage! I've tried to find this for six weeks! Where did you get that?!"
"I bought it from the comic book store."
"And where did you get the money for that?" Edd asked.
"Well, uh... my parents gave me an allowance about a week ago." Eddy rubbed his head.
"But tell me, Eddy! How and when did get it? Please tell me!" Ed pleaded.
"Okay, Ed. I'll tell you. First, let go of my shirt!" Eddy yelled before Ed lets go of Eddy's shirt leaving it messed up, "Now, here's how I got it. I was walking down the sidewalk and tired from working on the machine—"
"Wait a minute!" Edd interrupted, "How were you tired from working on the machine? You did absolutely nothing; you were just sitting around reading your magazines in the shade while I did all of the work."
"Hey, who's telling the story? Are you? No. So shut up and listen." Eddy replied, "As I was saying..."
Eddy's story...
Eddy was walking home all the way from school. And on the way, he thought of going to the comic. He thought it could keep him from getting bored. For about ten minutes in the store, he found nothing good for him at all. He checked every section of the store and nothing. Then something caught his eye. It was the same subject Ed's been always talking about. A Dead Space comic book titled, Dead Space: Salvage. It looked flashy when he saw it.
"Eh, what the heck. It's better than getting bored." Eddy shrugged.
Later, on the way home, Eddy has read all the horror and terror in it. Honestly, it freaked the crap out of him. The next thing, he accidently runs into his front door of his house.
He rubs his head and asks himself, "How did I get back here already?"
Flashback End...
"The comic was amazing and horrifying. A whole alien army taking out a human colony by one swoop." Eddy said as Ed nodded in agreement, "All right, back to work."
"Actually, Eddy, I'm exhausted for today. I know it's only two o'clock, but could we stop for now? Besides, we've got all day tomorrow to work on this." Edd suggested.
"Hmm..." Eddy thinks of his decision, "All right, boys. Let's call it a day."
"What are we going to do now, Eddy?" Ed asked.
"Hmm. Anyone up for games?"
"I know. How about a game of checkers or chess?" Edd suggested.
"Not those kind of boring games, Sock-head. I'm talking about ones we can actually play." Eddy replied.
"Well, then, what do you suggest on what game we should play?"
Eddy thinks about it, "Gears of War?"
"Na. Played that already." Ed answered, "Left 4 Dead?"
"No. The last time we played it, Double D almost peed in his pants." Eddy chuckled.
Edd turns red in embarrassment, "In my defense, it was very horrifying and you dragged me into playing it!"
"Don't blame me, Sock-head. We needed a third player and we were bored." Eddy stated, "How about Mortal Kombat?"
"No. We played that too many times." Ed replied.
"Well, what are we going to play, then?"
Ed starts to think what to play and suggested, "I got it. Why don't we play Dead Space?"
"Oh, come on, Lumpy. Can't you think of something better?"
"But Eddy, don't you want to experience the greatness of Dead Space? Please! I'll be lonely by myself if you and Double D don't play with me...!" Ed begged almost bringing tears in his eyes.
Eddy pretty soon gave in and grumbles, "Fine, Ed. We'll play the game with you."
"Yay! All right, guys! let's go play in the depths of space!" Ed stated as he grabs Edd and Eddy to his house.
Two hours later...
We go into the house of Ed. From the looks it, the Eds have been pretty busy and 'having fun.'
"Come on, Eddy! Get away from it already!" Ed yelled.
"What the heck do you think I'm doing, you idiot?!" Eddy yelled back to Ed, freaking out.
"Eddy, it's biting your neck! Press A! Press A!"
"Shut up, lumpy! Shut up!"
"From my calculations, if Eddy doesn't escape from the Necromorphs in time; he's going to be—" Edd was interrupted by the sound of Isaac screaming and blood gushing out of his neck, thus killing him, "...dead in a matter of seconds."
"Ugh! Not again! This is the fifth time I died!" Eddy groaned before passing the remote to Ed, "And it was in the first level too! I didn't even get a weapon either."
"Well, these creatures are very much horrifying to face in hand-to-hand combat." Edd stated.
"Who the heck's talking about hand-to-hand combat? We're talking about the freaks of nature coming out of nowhere to scare the crud out of you along with the dead bodies that sprung from out of nowhere!"
As Eddy kept ranting on about the horror and gore in the game, Edd keeps hearing what he says and then his face then starts to turn green and looks to puke at any minute.
"Um, excuse me, Eddy. I have to go... to the restroom!" Edd exclaimed as he sprang up to the stairs at a fast speed.
"Where do you think Double D's going, Eddy?" Ed asked, playing the game.
"What do you think, Monobrow? He went to throw up because of your game." Eddy answered.
"So, shall we continue the experience and horrors of the game?"
"Eh."
For the next three hours, the Eds have enjoyed the Dead Space game, and soon watched a Dead Space prequel movie. The sun soon came to dusk and it was time for both Edd and Eddy to head home.
"Well, it's time for me to go." Eddy implied as he stretched his arms.
"The same goes for me. It's getting late." Edd agreed as he stood up.
"Aw. Can't you guys for a few more minutes?" Ed groaned.
"Sorry, Ed. I have to be home before it's night-time." Edd replied.
"What about you, Eddy?"
"I would, buddy. But I can't be late for dinner; my mom would kill me." Eddy answered.
"Oh, okay." Ed said in disappointment.
"Well, thanks for letting us play the game with you, Ed."
"Yes, it was rather enjoyable and somewhat." Edd implied.
"Actually, thank you guys for experiencing the game with me. It was really fun playing with you both." Ed smiled.
"Oh, well, that means a lot to us, Ed. Doesn't it, Eddy?" Edd asked.
"Yeah. Well, I guess." Eddy muttered, "Well, see you tomorrow. Be sure to get up by 8:00 a.m. and meet me at my backyard."
"Bye, guys!" Ed waved.
"Bye, Ed." Edd replied.
As both Eds left Ed's house, he started on Dead Space 2 from the beginning and played up all night until Sarah came in and told Ed to go to bed or else she'll tell their mom. Damn little brat.
Three weeks later...
After almost a month, the time machine is almost complete. Edd plugs in the last part to make it work and then the sounds of gears and beeps came to.
"Gentlemen, you might want to look at this." Edd called.
Ed and Eddy were in shock to see the machine in complete magnificence. The machine was in teal color shining in the sun, it was about six feet, five inches tall, four by three feet wide, and the colorful display buttons were on the front-right side and inside of the door. It even says the timeline buttons from top to bottom: Month, Day, and Year.
'Wow. I can't believe it. We actually build a time machine. We're going to be so rich!' Eddy thought.
'Whoa... Hey. Echo..! My name is Ed!' Ed thought.
"Gentlemen, we have done the greatest achievement in all of history!" Edd stated.
"Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go to the future, boys!" Eddy exclaimed.
"Yippie-ki-Yay!" exclaimed Ed, excited.
Edd sees their impatience and stretches out his arms to stop them, "Wait!" he shouted as he brings them back to him, looking tired from pulling Ed and Eddy, "Where do you two think you're going?"
"We're going to use the time machine, Sock-head. What does it look we're doing?" Eddy replied.
"You can't just use machine already."
"Well, why not?"
"Because it's not ready to be in use yet."
"I thought you said it was ready."
"No, I didn't."
"Yes, you did!"
"No, I did not!"
As Edd and Eddy were arguing, Ed sneaks into the machine. He puts in the date in the timeline.
Year: 70 million B.C.
"Dinosaur years, here we go!" Ed said.
Edd and Eddy's dispute was interrupted by light-blue rays blinding them.
"Ah! My eyes!" Eddy yelled covering his eyes.
"What is...? Is that the machine?" Edd yelled covering his eyes.
The light-blue rays disappeared as well as the machine, leaving nothing but a 4x3 square mark on the grass; as if the machine was never there. Eddy and Edd looked around; Ed and the machine were nowhere to be found.
"Ed! Ed, where are you?" Edd called.
"Hey, Monobrow!" Eddy called out, "Where did that guy go?"
"I don't know. Whatever timeline date he putted in, I don't think that he'll-" Edd was then interrupted by the same light-blue rays.
"Argh! Again with this?!"
"Unbelievable!"
The rays disappeared but the machine was at the same spot. The door opens and soon to show Ed walking out of the machine. Edd and Eddy were in shock and awe; they couldn't believe Ed still made it out of the machine in one piece.
"Where...? Where the heck did you go, Monobrow?" Eddy asked.
"I went to the dinosaurs! When I came out of the time machine, I see a whole bunch of them. I want to see the dinosaurs, but I couldn't leave the machine behind. So I had to press the yellow that turned the machine into a small disk with a little button on top." Eddy and Edd couldn't believe what Ed was saying, really; Edd didn't remember putting a button like that on the machine, "I putted in my pocket, looked around, but I couldn't find a T-Rex." Ed said somberly, "But I got this instead!" Ed pulls out a claw from his pocket what looks to be a velociraptor claw.
Edd examines the claw, "Ed, this claw from the extinct Velociraptor. And it's fresh!"
"Fresh?" Eddy questioned.
"Yes, Eddy. It seems that this claw has not aged a day." Edd stated, "Ed, where did you get this?"
"I got it from a raptor that was lying down. Although, he never woke up when I took it out." Ed replied.
Edd and Eddy had wide eyes from what Ed said that knowing what he meant.
Eddy brakes the silence, "Anyway... See, Double D? I told you the machine would work."
"Okay, Eddy. You were right. The machine does work, but I'm still not sure that it'll fully work." Edd doubted.
"Who cares, Sock-head? Now that we got a time machine, we can use this thing for big money."
"But, Eddy..."
"Come on, Double D. Let's use thing already." Eddy said running.
"Let's go see the dinosaurs again!" Ed yelled running.
"W-Wait!" Edd yelled, chasing after them.
Eddy gets in the machine first, "All right, time machine. Let's see what you can do."
Ed then steps in. "Let's go, dinosaurs!"
"You already had your turn, Lumpy."
"Wait! You can't use it yet!" Edd shouted as he ran.
He trips on a rock and stumbles into the machine and the door closed on its own.
"Hey, move your arm!" Eddy said.
"Well, you move your leg first, Eddy!" Edd replied.
"Ugh, this machine is too small!"
"Well, excuse me for building a machine that's not big enough for all of us!"
"Okay, while you guys talk, I'm going to eat my gravy." Ed said.
"You better not spill that, Lumpy!" Eddy warned.
"Okay, Eddy." Ed chows down on his gravy, but spills it on the controls, "Oops."
The machine starts to malfunction.
"Ed, I told you not to spill your stupid gravy!" Eddy yelled.
"I'm sorry, Eddy. Hang on, let me fix it."
"No, Ed!" Edd yelled.
Ed starts to panic and didn't know what to do. He starts randomly pressing buttons to make the machine stop. He accidently puts in the date in the timeline.
Month: October
Day: 14
Year: 2508 A.D.
"Uh-oh." Ed said.
"Ed, what did you do?!" Edd yelled.
The machine starts shaking all around them, they're lifted up from their feet and started to bounce off the walls and bumping into in each other. The machine disappears, along with the Eds, and leaving no trace.
Dateline: October 14, 2508
Nothing but the stars of space and dust of ruins, and a hallow trail. Inside a spaceship was a wasteland; windows broken, TVs showing nothing but static, bloody corpses in almost every hallway and room, and no one was alive. But from far away, comes in a small engineering ship. Inside the ship contained about five people: The three people we recognized are engineer Isaac Clarke, Sergeant Zach Hammond, and Computer Specialist Kendra Daniels. Isaac has a depressed look on his face after seeing a video log from his girlfriend, Nicole Brennan. Then, walking and standing in front of the engineer was Kendra; she sees the sad expression on his face.
"How many times have you watched that thing?" Kendra asked, "Guess you really miss her. Don't worry, we're almost there. You'll be able to look her up once we're on board. Sounds like you two have a lot of catching up to do."
"Yeah. We do..." Isaac replied.
"All right, everyone, we're here. Synching our orbit now." Hammond stated as they arrived near large misshapen rock objects.
It was a magnificent sight: The sun shining so brightly, a large planet being gleamed by the rays and space stars far away.
"All this trouble over that chunk of rock." Kendra implied.
"Deep space mining is a lucrative business, Ms. Daniels." Hammond stated, "Aegis VII is a gold mine, according to prospector's reports. Cobalt, Silicon, Osmium... Now where is she? There she is. We have visual contact."
As they cleared away from the chunks of rock in the ship's way, they see a large spacecraft; floating in the depths of space known as the famous USG Ishimura.
"So that's the Ishimura? Impressive." said Kendra, moved.
"The USG Ishimura." Hammond corrected Kendra, "Biggest Planetcracker in her class. And it looks like they already popped the cork."
"Looks like it." Isaac agreed.
Kendra notices something in there, "Why is all dark? I don't see any running lights."
"Corporal, take us in closer and hail them." Hammond ordered, "And stay clear of that debris field. We're here to fix their ship, not the other way around."
Corporal Chen makes the call, "USG Ishimura, this is the emergency maintenance team of the USG Kellion responding to your distress call. Come in, Ishimura."
But no one answered. Kendra walked around a bit then had an idea.
"You're going to need to boost the signal if their power is low." Kendra suggested.
"Yes, we know." Hammond replied then turned to Chen, "Boost the signal. More."
With that, Chen turns up the volume. It concerned everyone why no one answered.
'Strange... Why aren't they picking up?' Isaac thought.
"Never heard of total communications blackout on one of these things." Kendra stated, "You'd think with a thousand people on board, someone would pick up the phone—"
Then a voice came over the intercom. But it wasn't a human voice, it was some kind of... grotesque voice of another being. The crew wondered what was it.
"What the hell...?" Isaac murmured to himself.
"What is that?" Chen questioned.
"It's a busted array like we thought. Sounds like they're having problems with their encoder." Kendra proclaimed, "You get us down there and Isaac and I can fix it. Forty-eight hours max."
"All right, you heard the lady. Take us in. Let's see what needs fixing." Hammond ordered.
"Gravity tethers engaged. Automatic docking procedure is go." said Corporal Johnston.
But then suddenly, an explosion came from out of nowhere and threw off their coordination.
"What the hell?" Hammond exclaimed.
Johnston calls to Hammond, "Sir! The autodock—"
"What is it?"
"We're offtrack! We're going to hit the hull!"
"Hit the blast shields! Their guidance tether is damage! Switch to manual, now!"
"Inside the magnetic field? Are you insane?! Abort!" Kendra ordered.
"No! We can make it inside! Corporal, I gave you an order!"
With that, Johnston pulls a lever from top and the ship makes the blast shields come on, but starts losing control because of the strong field. As they were getting closer, they landed inside the Ishimura and the ship was down and out. Soon, the ship's blast shields opened and showed that everyone was okay. Well, not everyone, at least, mentally.
"Is everyone okay?" Hammond asked.
"What...? What the hell were you thinking?! Were you trying to get us killed?!" Kendra yelled to Hammond.
"I just saved our asses, Ms. Daniels! If we had aborted at that speed and distance, we would have smashed right into the side of the Ishimura!" Hammond stated, "Now settle down, and let's get to work. Corporal, report!"
As Chen checked the status, Isaac puts his engineering helmet on, "I'm not getting any readings from the port booster and we've lost comms and autopilot. It'll take some time to fix."
"All right, let's get some extra hands from Flight Deck to help out."
Kendra walks to Isaac and starts to scynch his RIG, "Hold still, Isaac. I'm synching up everyone's RIGs with the ship." then Isaac's health RIG fills up at full, "Okay, we're done. Clean bill of health for everyone."
"All right. We've still got a job to do. We're moving out."
With that, the crew goes to leave the ship, but Isaac stays for a bit before leaving. As he walked out of the ship, he walks to Kendra, but sees her with a disapproving look on her face.
"You didn't lose power to the port booster. You lost the port booster! Unbelievable." Kendra said to herself, disappointed.
As Kendra left, Isaac looked to the Kellion, then a small blue spark came from far and Isaac quickly looked to see where it was. He thought it was just the ship. He walks away and arrives near the Flight Lounge. Hammond calls Isaac and tells him to hack the door pad. When he did, the entrance opens and the maintenance team walks inside. Soon, a light-blue orb came across as the size of a pebble then the orb turned large to the size of a boulder, and starts to take form into a brick-shaped machine. It was the same time machine the Eds made and traveled in there before. Voices of the Eds soon came out of it.
"Ow... What happened?" Eddy asked.
"It's seems we've traveled in time." Edd answered.
"Well, can we get out now? I'm starting to get cramped in this stupid thing."
"Hang on, Eddy. I can't see the door knob, but I think I feel the door."
"All right, let's push this door open on the count of three."
"Agreed. One..."
"Two..."
"Found the door knob." Ed said.
"What?" Edd questioned.
"Three!" Eddy shouted.
Ed opens the door and Eddy comes out flying and hits the floor.
"Ow, my head." Eddy groaned, rubbing his head then yells to Ed, "You couldn't wait for me before you open the door, idiot?!"
"Sorry, Eddy." Ed said.
"Forget it." Eddy stands up, "Great. Now I got dust on my good shirt."
"You okay, Double D?" Ed asked.
"Other than a splitting headache, I'm fine." Edd groaned, "Where are we?"
"It looks like a dump here." Eddy replied before seeing the crashed ship, "What the heck...?"
"What is it? Oh, my...!"
Both Eds looked at the small maintenance ship known as the USG Kellion.
"What is this?" Eddy inquired.
"This seems to be a spaceship. 'USG Kellion.' That's obviously the name of the ship." Edd stated.
"Man, this ship doesn't look so good."
"Agreed. From how the structure of this spacecraft is made, we seemed to be in the future."
While Edd and Eddy were inspecting at the Kellion, Ed sees something else, but it wasn't in mystery; it was in shock and horror.
"Hey, Lumpy. Aren't you seeing this? Ed?" Eddy sees him and walks to see what's wrong, "Ed, what happen?" but Ed didn't respond, "Ed. What is it...?"
Eddy turns to Ed's direction and has the same look as Ed. Edd looks at his friends and walks to see what was wrong.
"Gentlemen, what's wrong?" Edd asked.
Ed points with his right hand shaking and Edd looks at where he is pointing. They all have the horrified look on them. They see a light sign that reads USG Ishimura.
"Oh... my... God!" Edd gasped.
"T-This is... This is the..." Eddy stuttered.
"...USG Ishimura." Ed finished.
These boys never thought it was real; but it was. The nightmare came true in the future. As soon as they look at the name of the ship, their lives will never be the same again...
