The Game
"I'm telling you Double D, video games are were it's at!" Eddy proclaimed walking down the hall. Double D simply sighed. Double D has never the much into games. So you can imagine he wanted nothing to do with this scam. "Eddy, I refuse to take part in your destroying of the already molded minds of the youth of the Cul-de-sac" He was turning away from him. "Oh come on! All you have to do is make a game!" "Eddy, do you know how much we would have to spend to get the supplies for this project of yours? It would take over a millions of dollars to just program at least HALF the game!"
As they were talking Eed walked up to them quickly. "Hey guys!" He called to them. There was a strong sense of urgency in his tone. "Not now Eed! We're talkin business!" Eddy said without turning to him. Eed grabbed them both by the collar forcefully. "Now!!" He said dragging them to Eds house.
"Ed! Hey lumpy!" Eddy called to the faded windows. The lights where off and not a thing could be seen. "Where the heck is he?" "I heard him scream two weeks ago" Eed said pointing to the chimney.
Eddy climbed up and looked down at them. "Let's go sock head!" "Eddy, do you know what microscopic creatures lurk in there!? I absolutely refuse to...Whoa!" He said as Eddy picked his hat. Eed fall down first, fellowed by Eddy and Edd. "I'm absolutely filthy!"He said before Eed covered his mouth. "Shh!!" The place as dark as a dungeon. You couldn't see your hands in front of your face. The only light in the entire house came from the basement. "Man, this is creepy..." Eddy said as they walked down. A strong light came from Eds door. As Eed reached forward Eddy grabbed his arm. "Wait! Ed's probability back in the junkyard!" He said nervously. Eed rolled his eyes at him before opening the door. There sat Ed. His face was turned to a T.V full of static. He seemed to have an odd device on his head. "Hey Ed!"Eddy called moving slowly in. Ed just sat there with his face to the blank screen. "Ed? Is something the matter?" Edd asked in a concerned tone,Ed still didn't respond. Eddy annoyed walked in front of him. "Hey lum..." He stopped and looked at him wide eyed. A chill ran down his spine. "Whats wrong Eddy?" Eed said as he and Double D walked to him and looked at him. A strong silence filled the room. Ed had a blank look on his face. But that wasn't what was freaking them out. Ed's face was stuck in a terrified expression. His pupils were also gone.
Eed shook him greatly. "Ed? Ed!?" Ed fell over. Double D examined him carefully. "What is that on his head?" Eddy stood up to remove it. It looked state of the art. It had a capital M printed onto it. "What the..." "Hey there's more of them!" Eed pointed out. There were five separate helmets in the corner. "Hm... they seem to be some kind of hyper advance virtual reality helmets! I've never seen such advanced units!" Edd said amazed. "Cool!" Eed said picking one up. "Eed please! We don't know what these devices are capable of!" Eed felt the rim of the helmet. At that moment he froze in place. The M on the helmet glowed brightly. "What the..." Eddy said looking at him carefully. The Screen turned on and flickered. Edd looked at the screen in awe. "Eddy look!" Eddy turned to the screen to see Eed lying down on a table with a color bar and everything else you would see in a RPG where you can make a character. The creation sequence when as fast as it came. The next thing they saw was Eed in a high tech suit of armor and with a large metal arm where is left arm was. "Well the...!?" He said looking around. Eddy smiled and put on a helmet. "Awesome!" He said switching it on. "Eddy!" Edd cried in horror. The next thing he knew he stood in next to Eed. He had long flowing blue hair. The wore a pair of goggles, a black denim jacket with matching pants. He wore red gloves as well. "All right!" He exclaimed happily. "Eddy..." Double D said slapping his forehead. "Double D! Try it!" Eed yelled from the screen. Edd scoffed and looked away. "I will NOT take part in your idiotic shenanigans!" Eddy and Eed looked at each other slyly. "I guess he's not smart enough to handle this thing..." Eed said turning away. Edd turned back quickly. "Excuse me?" He said folding his arms. "Oh! I'm sorry! Let me talk in your native tung!" He said before hooting like a monkey. Edd turned red with anger. "Ohh!! I'll show you!" He said as he placed a helmet on as well. He after awhile he appeared in front of them. He had wild blond hair with a black bandanna on his head. He was dressed in a tan blue shirt with a tan vest and tan pants. He had a sack hanging of his shoulder as well as to giant wrenches on his back. "So there!" He said smugly.
After awhile of wandering around they stopped by an old sign. "What's that?" Eed said wiping the ancient dust off it. The sign read in bold letters: LET THE GAME BEGIN.
