To make up for my very... very slow and agonizing comic on DA, I'm making a war story that has been going through my mind for a long time. This involves cartoons, characters authors create, and the authors themselves. My final piece of inspiration came from the last Transformers movie 'Dark of the Moon'. Hope you enjoy this.
Alice's Diary, Day: 08.05.20XX
Perfect day today for scamming and hanging around the lake. It's a scorching August day, and school hasn't started yet. Me and the girls left home to find the Eds already out and about, preparing for what had looked like a picture booth. Eddy wouldn't tell me a thing about it, but had told me to bring my best swimsuit along with the other girls. If only I had known that Eddy was preparing to make us be swimsuit models... he said it was going to be a fortune in profit buut when Kevin was the first to arrive, Eddy refused to sell a thing to him that showed anything of me. He's such a sweety sometimes but his kindness really needs better timing.
Double D went out, pulling Alyssa out of the photo shoot when Eddy requested some more graphic shots. Not that I blame him. When he came back... he seemed a bit edgy. Alyssa looked like she saw hell, her hair proof of that. I asked what was up, but they were fridgid.
Alice's Diary, Day: 08.15.20XX
The daytime sky has gotten oddly dark. Rolf locked imself up in that storage room of his, with his family and all of his food and animals. He was also screaming something like the end was near and the world would end in darkness. Double D and Alyssa locked themselves up in Double D's room, refusing to tell what was going on. Ed is even noticing their strange behavior, and we're all frightened. Eddy couldn't think of a scam today and no one was even outside. Thunder rumbled. We all agreed to sleep over at Eddy's place for the night.
Alice's Diary, Day: 08.19.20XX
Everything... everything has gone horribly wrong! The Eds, Kankers, Jimmy, Nazz, Kevin... All is gone! Dust and debris fly through the air. We ran to the basement, and are now taking shelter in what was our torture chamber.
Alice's Diary, Day: 08.21.20XX
We went outside, and everything was... gone. When we went deeper into the city, it was deserted. Only a few people walked, and soon... it began to rain. The earth began to shake wildly, and split. People screamed in terror, and fled as purplish dark forms began to climb out of the cracks. Alyssa breathed hard, saying something about predicting all of this, and the true evil was coming to the surface. Thinking quickly, Alex had stolen a car and we fled the city. I looked back... and the city crumbled into itself. Ed... Edd... Eddy... where are you?
Alice's Diary, Day: 09.01.20XX
After days and days of searching, we finally found a safe haven. Our car was replaced with a army truck, and we've been fighting through city and city, Alyssa hunting for clue to which the boys and all the other cartoons have disappeared to. It is in the middle of a large desert... and has large mushroom towers? Alex said she recognizes it as Chowder's old kitchen. We went in, only to find the place barren. Buildings still surrounded, so we could be safe for a while. Alyssa had collected information, and told us about what was going on.
A long time ago, before the channel even started, there was a first idea. It was of a woman and man. But the idea was shunned, people thinking the animators were making fun of religons and various other things. The show was about a very powerful monster, who controlled various elements and beings, living in the world of humans and trying to take over the world. The beast was so angry, it ran rampant after being held captive for over five years.
During its long rampage, the monster had impregnated various civilians, making them think he loved them. The beast was defeated and put back in its fiery prison under the earth, the grim reaper this time making sure it doesn't escape with various locks hidden all around the globe. But the beast's children visited him, and he corrupted their innocent minds. Six children, each holding one of the beast's powers. The powers were unknown after years, and the children's identities were hidden. But it was said that warriors from a much more different world would come to save this one.
She said that during the time she and Double D went into the woods, they had went so deep that they stumbled upon one of the beast's children, going through the dirt and finding a strange large skull lock. The person broke it, and glared at them with deep red eyes. Then they ran for their lives. Double D was so scared, he didn't want the beast to return. So he locked himself up and refused to sleep for days. Alyssa joined in fear of his health.
Alyssa said she even had a summoning spell within the confines of her reasearch, but it will take some time to gather all the nessacary materials. We were willing to wait, and so our adventure begins. Please... please boys... be alright.
Somewhere very far away, a month later
"Ugh... I don't want to do any more math..." I groaned, my short just shoulder length black hair all messy. Wearing my dark blue t-shirt and black jeans, I pushed up my thick rimmed glasses and walked into homeroom, sitting next to my best friend Rachel.
"Hey Alyssa." She said, brown curls bounding slightly. She had frameless glasses and had on her blue t-shirt.
"Hey Rachel..." I mumbled, tired as hell and wanting to pass out.
"You doing anything this weekend?" She asked, noticing my lack of energy.
"Nope... you going to your cottage again?"
"Yeah, cousins are visiting and stuff." She said, then I pulled out my handy sketchbook. "I know that teenagers take their iPods everywhere and stuff, but I think your attachments with your sketchbook is kind of extreme. You took it during assembly, during the movies after school..." I looked up from what I was doing and grinned.
"You should see what I do at home. Sometimes I take it in the bathroom." Rachel flinched and blanched slightly.
"Too much information." I laughed and went back to work. "So what are you drawing?" I moved my hand to reveal only a half way done drawing of Ed as Godzilla.
"Ed, from Ed Edd n Eddy, as Godzilla." I grinned. Some girls crowded around the table.
"Cute!~" One said.
"It's kind of weird..."
"Well I think its adorable. Maybe add fire coming out of the mouth."
"No, how about bigger teeth?" The bell rung, telling the end of school.
"HALLELUJAH!~" I screamed, raising my arms. I packed my stuff as the teacher dismissed us. "See you Monday Rache!" I yelled.
"And you get a burst of energy when we leave?" She asked, exhasperated.
"YEP!" I rushed out, a chorus singing in my head as I burst out the front door of the school. I found my mom's van just in the parking lot and with little discussion, we zoomed back to the house. Thunder rumbled above, signalling to not go outside.
Home
I dropped my bag, not caring about homework just yet. Then just plopping down on my chair, I turned on my computer and began to chat with some friends online.
EPA: Hey!
DLA: Hey Autumn. You up to anythin?
EPA: Nothing too special. I was just working on some updates. :3
DLA: Do you need help?
EPA: Nah, I've got this! But thanks. What about your stories? Anything juicy with the Als and Eds?
I giggled, ready to tell about my new ideas when suddenly, I got another message from another friend. I smiled, seeing as it was another close online friend.
S3G: alyssa! How's it goin?
DLA: *glomps* Good.
S3G: :P Anything new?
DLA: Nope. Another boring day of hell. :/
S3G: Aw, too bad. :P
There was a lot of noise going on outside of my room. I began to work on some stories and messaged a few times. Then my name was called. Thunder rolled outside. Getting up from my seat, one last kid rung up on my message box.
D4L: My cereal caught on fire again.
DLA: Put it out with a extinguisher! Or some water! ...How does milk catch fire?
D4L: I dunno.
DLA: =.=
My name was called again, but now angrier. I ran out to see my mom, pissed. "Alyssa! I called for you three times already! What are you doing?" She asked.
"Um... I had my headsets on..." I said.
"We're going to eat soon, so go outside and get your siblings to come inside. It looks like its going to rain." She said. I walked outside the front door, and looked around. The sky was dark, clouds rumbling. No siblings in sight. What was odd was, these storms have been going on for the past six days now.
"DORKS? WHERE ARE YOU?" I yelled. Walking out, there was no sounds. Now in the middle of the road. Looking around to see no cars in sight, i looked at my iPod for new messages.
D4L: Am I stupid?
DLA: No no... you just have two left feet.
Thunder rumbled even louder now. I checked for any more responses. I thought the others would have checked back by now. Thunder rumbled above me, and suddenly lighting hit the pavement just a few feet away. "Holy shit..." I sped off into someone's yard. Maybe I was overreacting, but when I looked back, the lightning was following me! It hit the ground behind me as I ran as hard and fast as I could.
"Alyssa? What are you doing here?" I passed my little brother, and was grabbed by him. The booming of the thunder behind me.
"Go home, get the brat, dinner is ready." I huffed out, then ran off as the lightning hit again. Our neighborhood is just a very long row, so when I reached the end, only the highway and lighting on either side. "I didn't think I would die like this... Dad, be sure to destroy my laptop when I die..." I said painfully. The lightning struck once more... and then it finally hit its target. Me.
Heaven is a swirling vortex leading up into the sky. Like a tornado. It's purple and various beautiful colors that can't even be described. Like looking outside after a rain shower and you see the rainbow. You know all the colors you didn't pay attention to? Like the ones in between the yellow and green? Those are the ones I'm describing. "Wow..." The ground shook beneath me, and I could hear voices. The ground then felt solid beneath my feet. Not cushiony like how you think clouds are. Three figures surrounded me.
"...This is it? She's just a nerd!" Said someone. My eyes began to clear from the fog, and the three figures revealed themselves to be girls about my age. A brunette wearing a ripped up tank top and shorts with a cloak on her. She held a large book in one hand and chalk in the other. An angry black haired girl, taller than me by a couple inches. She looked at me angrily with piercing blue eyes and had on a torn up leather jacket and a black bra with jeans and combat boots. Behind me was a blond, she had what had to be at least a C cup bust. She looked at me with curious green eyes and had on a cowboy hat, a torn up tank top, and loose shorts with spiked bracelets.
"Oh come now Alice, you of all people should know how looks can be decieving." the brunette said... wait... Alice?
"...Alice?" I asked, now seeing some similarity. These were the very same characters that I had made all those months ago.
"Yeah, what?" She asked rudely.
"Oh... my god..." I instantly glomped Alex. "THIS IS SO AWESOME!"
"What the hell?" Alex asked, trying to shove me off. We heard some groans behind us. I looked down to see I was surrounded by three bodies. Alex pushed me off and nudged one of them with her foot. One only groaned and rolled to the side. Another got up to reveal it was a she. She had shoulder length dark blond hair, and wore a blue tank top with jeans.
"Woah... am I dead? That lightning struck out of nowhere..." I helped her up to her feet. "Thanks. What's your name?"
"Alyssa." Her brown eyes opened wide and began to scan me over. The other Alyssa seemed surprised as she looked at us.
"As in... Demonic?" I instantly recognized her.
"...Autumn?" The two other figures got up to reveal to be males. Both had brown hair, and one wore a green t-shirt with jeans. The other looked older than us, and had on a black batman t-shirt and jeans. "Max? Johnny?" Both guys looked up at me, surprised to hear their names.
"You know these guys?" Max was the first to get up, grabbing my hand. Then I helped Johnny up. He seemed shaken quite a bit.
"Yeah... and look behind you." Autumn turned and gasped at seeing her character.
"ALICE!" Alice looked at her like she was a freak, and screamed as Autumn tackled her head on and glomped.
"Why are people being glomped so much?" The other Alyssa asked. Dust began to pick up, creating a storm. "Quickly! Inside the base!" She shouted. We all followed her inside the building, and Alex shut the door. The wind howled outside, and there was musky scents of old spices and rotting ingredients. Darkness overcame everyone in their confusion.
