Evil Returns (and with friends)...
"Just look at them Timber," Johnny said menacingly as the kids were playing. "All is well in their little world, until I come crashing down on it!"
Johnny, in his new Gourd costume, crept up closer to his enemies, just waiting for a chance to get his vengeance…
"You're doing what Rolf?" Eddy asked.
He, Kevin, the Eds, and Rolf were having a conversation about Johnny, who hasn't been seen since about a week ago. Rolf was also discussion something that could very well change his group, the Urban Rangers.
"Rolf is searching for more Urban Rangers," he said. "Several people have already joined, and already they are gathering more."
"And what are you planning to do with them?" asked Edd. "Why would you need more?"
"It has occurred to Rolf that we need an army," Rolf answered. "An army who handle will intelligence gathering , interrogation, combat, engineering, and lawn mowing."
"So your saying these guys will help us find Johnny?" Kevin asked.
"Yes," Rolf replied. "They will
"How many did you get so far?" Eddy asked.
"Two dozen, thirty more on the way."
"Too bad they won't get"
Their conversation was interrupted by an all to familiar figure wearing a gourd for a helmet, and holding a mop with a plank attached to it.
"So we meet again my enemies!" the figure screeched.
"Johnny?" Ed exclaimed. "Are you out of your mind?! Where were you?"
"Plotting my revenge!" he said, covering himself with his black cape.
"Johnny calm down," Kevin said. "Just chill out."
"Chill out, CHILL OUT!" Johnny yelled. He laughed a terrible sound, and pulled out something out of his pack. "Does this look familiar to you?"
It was the suit of Johnny's old persona , Captain Melonhead. They all understood now. Johnny, after being injured by the kids, went completely insane and now wants his revenge.
"Johnny just calm down," Edd pleaded. "Can't we just talk about this?"
"It's too late Double-D. Now meet your fates."
Snapping his fingers, that was all it took. a group of kids wearing what appeared to be crudely made swat armor surrounded them, armed with wooden katana and BB rifles. But what interested them most about the suits were the logos on them, a lemon.
"Lemonbrook," Ed whispered. "Lemonbrook's working with Johnny!"
"You're damn right Rolf," Johnny said. "They're much more tougher than you, and operate from their base Outer Heaven."
"Metal Gear series fans huh?" Ed said.
"Yeah can't be helped." he shrugged. "And they have an old project of Double-D's."
"You mean…" Edd said.
"Yes," Johnny said. 'Your old Metal Gear Rex replica, and they perfected it."
Johnny donned his combat vest, which also bore the insignia of Lemonbrook. "From now on, call me The Gourd!"
He laughed as the Lemonbrook kids took them to a waiting bus, made from an old scam the Eds did, a bus that was supposed to take them to the candy store. But now it will take them to Lemonbrook, where the county's commander will give them "special treatment." The Gourd took shotgun, and drove off.
From the shadows, Nazz, Sarah, and Jimmy were watching with sadness in their eyes, sadness that their friend would go so far as given them to Lemonbrook. But they too also shared the blame, turning Johnny into a beast.
"What do we do?" Sarah asked.
"I don't know," Nazz answered.
There was a long silence that soon followed, like a dark cloud raining over you.
"Didn't you hear what Rolf said?" Jimmy said. "Rolf said that there were new Urban Rangers."
"Yeah but how are they going to help us?" Nazz asked.
"Hello, remember me," Jimmy said, pointing to his Urban Ranger ID. "I'm an Urban Ranger too."
"That's right," Sarah said, with hope in her voice.
"So what difference does it make?" Nazz moaned.
"I know the guys Rolf recruited," he said. "They've already started recruiting tons of people, and have some pretty important friends. Like the cul-de-sac leaders."
Jimmy got out his cell phone, dialing a number.
"Hey Holly, It's Jimmy." He waited for a response. "Yeah, Rolf's in trouble. Call off the Johnny search, we found the guy. Say, just how many guys did you recruit…"
