Chapter Two: Armada, Troggies, and a new recruit to boot (part one)...
The Eds sailed through the sky, with Wind at the wheel. Ed was sleeping on the floor, Eddy was counting his bounty, as for Double D, he was lost in thought. He started to think about the Armada, and how they captured them. Double D was sure he never heard of this Armada, let alone injured a Captain of the Armada forces. Wind noticed Double D lost in thought and decided to go chat.
"Mr. Gandry, think you can take the wheel for a sec?" Wind asked.
"Oui Oui," Mr. Gandry stated, which made Wind let go of the wheel. Mr. Gandry quickly grabbed onto the wheel. Wind walked down the stairs to Double D. Double D looked up to see Wind standing over him.
"Oh, hey Wind." Double D replied dryly.
"Something's eating you isn't it?" Wind asked.
"How can yo-" Double D stopped himself from asking, because of the conversation from earlier. "Oh right, I forgot. Well it's just, I'm trying to think of who would have a grudge against us so badly, that they'd send this Armada after us?"
"Well, I honestly don't understand the Armada's methods, but maybe someone from your home was a part of the Armada?" Wind suggested.
"Then that would probably be almost anyone." Double D stated, making Wind raise an eyebrow.
"What do you mean?" Wind asked the black hat Ed.
"Well, basically me and my friends caused a lot of the neighborhood kids bodily harm because of the scams we pulled." Double D explained.
"So you guys are scam artists?" Wind summed it up.
"Yeah you could say that, though honestly after one scam the neighborhood kids wanted to plainly make sure we cursed the day our mothers gave birth to us." Double D put his knees to his chest. "But, when they found out what Eddy's brother was like, they understood why he scammed."
"So you guys became friends with the people who were about to beat you up?"
"Yes, except for Johnny, who now hates everyone in the Cul-De-Sac." Double D stated.
"Maybe it was this Johnny kid who sent the Armada after you?" Wind suggested.
"I doubt it, Johnny's not bright enough to create a portal to another world and kidnap us." Double D stated.
"Well-" Wind was cut off by the sound of cannon fire. This caused the Eds and Wind to look over their shoulders to see an Armada ship.
"Battle stations!" Boochbeard shouted, as they took heavy fire.
"Good lord! They're actually shooting heavy artillery at us!" Double D shouted in fear.
"Ed! Do something!" Eddy shouted as he hid in his treasure chest of gold.
"Wait my brain is working!" Ed shouted. He grabbed all the cannon balls on Boochbeard's ship, and started throwing them into the Armada's cannons which made them explode. Ed threw the last one of the cannonballs at the Armada's ship propeller which made the ship sink.
"Thank goodness for Ed's brute strength." Double D sighed with relief.
"Thar she blows!" Boochbeard pointed at an island with a big skull in the center. "Skull Island off the starboard bow, drop anchor!"
Ed smiled as he picked up the anchor and dropped it through the center of the ship. His friends, Boochbeard, and Mr. Gandry were shocked because now the boat was sinking. They all piled into the life boats as the ship sank into the sea sky. Boochbeard and Mr. Gandry looked at the Eds and Wind with angry faces. This made the Eds and Wind grin nervously as they started to row into the harbor.
"You are going to pay the money for a new ship!" Mr. Gandry exclaimed.
"NO WAY YOUR GETTING MY GOLD!" Eddy shouted, which made him cling on to the treasure chest. After they got onto dry land, Eddy, Boochbeard and Mr. Gandry started to pull on opposite ends of the treasure chest. Even though Eddy's greed was strong, it was no match for a pirate and a monkey. Eddy began to cry when they took the chest away from him. Wind and Double D each face-palmed, or in Wind's case face-pawed at the display.
"Ok, now we need a ship and I doubt those guys are going to let us back on to their new ship." Wind suggested.
"We don't have any money you idiot!" Eddy shouted, as he broke out of his crying hysteria.
"Well, there is this one guy who gives ships away for practically nothing." Wind pointed out.
"You said practically." Double D stated.
"Yeah, the guy will give us a ship if we do favors for him." Wind explained.
"Great! We're in another universe and we're back to busting our humps for chumps!" Eddy kicked a pebble into the sea sky.
"It could be worse, we could have been turned into animals or on a deserted island." Double D stated.
"Fine, wolf-boy lead us to the free-ship guy." Eddy commanded, which made Wind sigh. He began to lead the Eds into town. As they walked, they noticed some of the inhabitants were mixes of species such as: bears, pigs, cows, birds, cats, mice, dogs, etc. They soon came across a large crowd of people gathered around a skull like house. They walked in to see a man in a green pirate outfit, with a parrot on his shoulder.
"Captain Avery?" Wind asked
"Ah, Wind, who be the teens behind you?" Captain Avery asked.
"Oh, this Ed, Edd n Eddy. They were kidnapped by the Armada and we need a ship." Wind asked.
"On the run from the Armada, are you?" Captain Avery asked, receiving nods from the Eds. "Well I run a pirate haven here, not a charity. If you want me to hide you, you'll have to work for it."
"We'll do anything you say." Double D stated.
"One of my more... willful crewmen, a Buccaneer named Fin, stole a Jade Amulet from me. I need it back! Fin fled to Skull Mountain, and roused the Troggies, now they're bombarding us!" Captain Avery explained.
"So you want us to get your amulet back?" Eddy asked.
"Correct! Report to Chief Rigby at the West Bastion." Captain Avery commanded. "If you do this right, I'll give you a boat. You have my word of honor, do we have an accord?"
"Huh?" Eddy was confused by the phrase.
"He means deal." Double D translated.
"Like we have a choice?" Eddy asked.
"That's the spirit, now be on your way!" Captain Avery stated.
"Say Wind-bag, do you know where this Rigby guy is?" Eddy asked.
"Yeah, he's probably next to the bridge that connects to Skull Island." Wind suggested.
"Lets go!" Ed shouted, as he picked up his three fellow comrades and ran out the door. After a few directions from Wind, they made it to West Bastion. As they were about to walk over to him, a cannonball crashed near their feet.
"Ahoy there!" A man shouted. He was in the basic pirate outfit, with a hook for a hand, a peg leg, and an eye patch. "Keep yer heads down, unless ye're lookin' to be blown up! Blasted Troggies, they've gone mad, they have!"
"You must be Chief Rigby. Captain Avery sent us to help." Double D stated.
"You want to help? We need to stop this bombardment. Go find Boonie Anne!" Chief Rigby commanded.
"Where was she last?" Double D asked dodging a cannon ball.
"She went across the bridge to teach the savages a lesson. You'll do more good there." Chief Rigby stated, as he started to open the bridge.
"If we run across, we won't be hit. Cannons here are slow when reloading." Wind stated running across the bridge. The Eds soon followed behind him.
Five minutes later...
The Eds and Ninja wolf made it across the bridge to the base of Skull Mountain. They soon saw a female fox/human hybrid shooting at big blue frogs with a one barrel shotgun. The blue frogs began to surround her.
"She needs our help!" Double D stated.
"We're on it!" Ed and Wind charged into battle with sword and katana held high, slashing through the frogs like butter.
"Thanks, I was in quite the pickle there." The fox lady smiled. "Who are you guys?" She asked Wind and the Eds.
"We're the Ed-Splorers!" Ed shouted as he picked up Double D, Eddy and Wind. "This is Eddy, Double D and Wind. And I'm Ed!"
"Nice to meet you fine gentleman, I'm Bonnie Anne." Bonnie did a little curtsey, before she slung her gun over her shoulder.
"Captain Avery told us to come to this mountain to look for the Fin guy." Eddy summed it up.
"Avery sent ye? Good, ye've come just in time! That Fin, he's a wily one. He riled up the Troggies til they're mad as badgers." Bonnie explained. "The slimy devils raided us last night, took half our powder stores. Now they're flingin' it back at the town!"
"Oh dear," Double D sighed sadly.
"We're trying to fight back, but there's too many of them! Soften 'em up a bit, and I'll help ye find Fin. Report to after." Bonnie finished.
"Let's go!" Ed shouted, as he ran toward the oncoming troggies. Double D sighed as Eddy and Wind followed him.
"I'm surrounded by barbarians." Double D stated as he pulled out his shield. The Eds, mostly Ed, Eddy and Wind fought through the Troggies. Eddy blasted and stabbed any that came his way with his gun and dagger, Ed and Wind sliced through pretty much all of them. Double D blocked the Troggies attacks with his shield. When they defeated all of them they let out a sigh of relief.
"Now, let's go see this, Lt Smollet" Double D proclaimed. They soon walked around a man in a pirate outfit and bandanna, he was standing next to Bonnie Anne. They assumed the man was Lt. Smollet.
"Smartly done pirates! Now we'll show these croaking fiends the errors of their ways." Lt. Smollet stated.
"We shall make them cry for their mommas!" Ed shouted smiling.
"Well done indeed, ye're good to have around in a fight. I said I'd help ye find Fin, an' I'm a girl o' me word." Bonnie smiled at the Eds and Wind. "Do ye have room for another in your Crew, captain?" She asked looking at Eddy who she assumed was the captain.
"Sure, we need all the help we can get." Eddy stated.
"You're here for Fin?" Lt. Smollet asked the Eds and Wind, who responded by nodding. "There'll be a time for that soon enough, Skull Island's threatened, pirates, and its up to us to save it!"
"No way! We just want to find this Fin guy and get a boat!" Eddy shouted.
"Well, if your going to be like that, than unless we save Skull Island, I won't lead you to where Fin is." Bonnie threatened, which made Eddy growl.
"Fine! Let's save this stupid island." Eddy groaned.
"The Troggies are using three great slingshots to hurl firebombs at the West Bastion. The bombardment's wearing down the town's defenses." Lt. Smollet explained. "Our cannons can destroy them, but the gunners can't see through all this jungle. Scout out the three slingshots, and mark them on this map." He handed Double D a map of the jungle, and a pen to mark it. "You'll have to get pretty close to mark them so be careful! Report back when your finished. Good hunting."
"I think this is a job for me." Wind stated pulling up his black scarf to cover his mouth. Double D handed Wind the paper and pen, which he took with ease. Wind smirked under his scarf and threw a small pellet on the ground, which surround him in smoke. When the smoke faded, Wind was gone from his spot.
"Oh my god! Wind blew up!" Ed shouted, his stupidity clouding his judgment. Eddy and Double D face-palmed at the sobbing moron. After a few minutes Wind reappeared in a few steps away from them. Ed overjoyed to see his new wolf friend not eviscerated, pounced on him excitedly.
"Ed, I'm fine but I won't be if you don't get off." Wind choked out, which made Ed step off of him. Wind stood up and showed the marked map to the others.
"That was fast." Bonnie stated.
"Ninja," Wind smiled happily.
"Well you did it. Now, take this map to our Chief Gunner Rigby, and we'll answer their slingshots with cannons! Hop to it!" Lt. Smollet commanded. The Eds and Wind along with their new crew member Bonnie ran across the bridge back to Skull Island's cannon grounds.
"Ye're back!" Chief Rigby stated as Wind handed him the map. "What's this ye've got, a map o' Troggy artillery! Now we'll show 'em! Alright then, you run back to-" Chief Rigby gasped at the map.
"What?" The Ed-splorers asked.
"Belay that! Look 'ere," Chief Rigby pulled the crew in to look at one slingshot on the map. "This flinger, the guns won't reach it! You'll have to bring it down the ol' fashioned way, face to face and eye to eye." On the last part he pointed to his one good eye.
"Fine, the faster we get this done, the better." Eddy stated as he ran across the bridge not wanting to wait. Bonnie and Ed ran after him while Wind and Double D stayed back to hear the rest of what Chief Rigby had to say. A huge explosion blew up one of the cannons.
"They're hurling gunpowder kegs at us! Go set some off to destroy that thing. Get to it, and report back to Smollet. We'll see to the rest!" Chief Rigby proclaimed.
"We're on it!" Double D stated, running across the bridge along with Wind at his side. When they got to the other side, they heard a huge explosion. They looked up in the sky to see three black dots that were getting bigger. It was Ed, Eddy and Bonnie, and they were falling from the sky. Ed and Eddy landed on Double D, while Wind caught Bonnie in his arms.
"My, ye be mighty strong for a ninja." Bonnie hugged him, which made the ninja wolf blush.
"Ok, we blew up the Troggies far away slingshot." Eddy stated, coughing a little. Lt. Smollet ran over to the Ed-Splorers.
"A job well done, Pirates. The bombardment's over and Skull Island is safe." Lt Smollet stated. "Now that the Troggy artillery is out of action, we can look to getting Captain Avery his bauble back."
"Finally!" Eddy shouted.
"I saw Fin flee up the trail. I'd wager he's hiding in the Skull Cave so I sent two of my best scouts, Livsey and Shepard, up the trail to see." Lt. Smollet explained. "They've been gone for hours. Go see if the Troggies got them. If Livsey and Shepard are alive, they'll know where Fin is."
"Got it!" Ed ran into the Jungle followed by the other members of the crew. They came across a frog holding two guns, and in a cockney British outfit.
"Thank heaven you're here!" He shouted. "I'm Livsey. You need to get me out of here, and right quick, before the Troggies come back! The gate is locked! We need the-" Ed ripped the cage door off of its hinges.
"No key needed," Eddy smirked.
"Thank you pirates!" Livsey smiled, "I thought I'd never get out!"
"Now where's Fin?" Eddy asked annoyed.
"Want Fin, do you?" Livsey asked with a grin. "He's up the trail, but he's not alone. There's a whole gang of Sharks up there. Cutthroats by the looks of it. They set up a camp across the bridge. They're up to something, Shepard and I found 'em, but the Sharks attacked and we got separated. I didn't see Fin, but he must be near. You attack the Cutthroats to draw 'em away. I'll sneak into their camp and see what I can find out."
"Alright then," Double D nodded.
"When I'm done, I'll hide in the mouth of Skull Cave, we'll meet again there." Livsey finished.
"Alright, let's go make some noise!" Ed shouted running up the mountain, followed by his friends.
And boom! The Eds and Wind have a new recruit! What will happen? What's going to happen? Tune in on Friday to find out. Also if I don't post it on Friday expect it on Saturday.
