CRACKED NIGHTMARE: The LegEDary

Chapter 2: Leaving Peach Creek

The Eds had looked everywhere, but unfortunately, turned up with no results.

"I think I'm still dreaming," said Eddy, still apparently not believing this whole thing was going on.

"Well, there is more than one world around here," said Lugia "you know that right?"

"Well, yeah!" said Eddy, "Who do you think helped save the whole multi universe?"

Lugia said nothing.

"Well," Double Dee said, "There are hundreds of worlds all around here, I can't think of the first place to look."

"Fly me to the moon," said Ed.

"Well," Double Dee said, "I guess we'll just have to try around."

So they headed off in the direction of the Peach Creek Interdimensional Airport.

"Hey, hold it!" Eddy yelled, "How are we gonna get past security carrying the head some weird dragon thing's head?"

…

"Hello, kids," the travel agent said, "Where are you off to today?"

"Oh, just pretty much anywhere," said Double Dee, "We're on important business."

"Well, the next flight is to Retroville," the agent said, "Do you want tickets for there?" She noticed that Ed's jacket was moving.

"That'll be fine, thank you," Edd said as he took the tickets.

"Help me!"

The Eds quickly ducked into the bathrooms. Ed opened up his jacket and a gasping Lugia popped out.

"And I thought Koffing smelled awful…" he wheezed, "Can't I hide somewhere else?"

"Where else is there to hide?" Eddy yelled, "You've pretty much have no other choice!"

Then Ed seemed to have an idea. He placed Lugia on top of his head like he was a strange hat. He looked a little big, but Ed was a pretty tough guy.

"Let's meet the Minish, guys!" Ed said, marching out of the bathroom.

The other two could only shrug and followed Ed out.

The Eds went up to security. Edd and Eddy went through first.

"Son, can you remove your hat?" the security guy asked Edd.

"I'm afraid that isn't possible," Edd said. He leaned over and whispered in the man's ear.

"Well, in that case, go right ahead."

Eddy went through with less trouble, but then it was Ed's turn.

"Nice hat," Mr. Security said, "Have you been to the Electronics Expo?"

Ed shook his head. "I got this hat from an alternate universe!"

"Don't worry," Edd quickly said, "he's just been watching too many movies."

Ed set Lugia on the conveyor belt. Lugia tried to stay as limp as possible, but found it hard to as he went through the small door.

Fortunately, the man sitting behind the desk looking at the computers was distracted by a phone ringing and didn't see what was obviously not a hat passing by on the screen.

"Let's go!"

The guys quickly ran for the terminal just as they started calling for the flight to Retroville.

"Whew! We made it!"

Of course, there wouldn't be a whole lot of room if they didn't do something about Lugia, so, despite his protests; he was shoved back into Ed's jacket.

They hopped on the plane and prepared for the flight.

"Well, that went somewhat well!" Double Dee said as he pulled out a book.

"Yeah sure, Sockhead," Eddy said, "I wanted to stay home."

It was too late now, though. The plane was soon cleared for takeoff and flew off to Retroville.

…

About an hour and a half later, the plane touched down in the CGI world of Retroville.

"Well," Double Dee said, "I guess we should start looking around."

Retroville was a bit bigger than Peach Creek, so this might take a while; nonetheless, the Eds hurried off in the direction of the suburbs.

Searching for a while seemed unproductive, and by now it was lunch time.

"I'm hungry," Eddy said, "Let's see if that candy store that's here has any jawbreakers."

…

"Amazing!" a young boy said, scratching his large head. He was looking at a radar screen sticking out of his robotic dog as he sat in the Candy Bar.

"What is it, Jimmy?" his chubby friend asked, "Does it have to do with that thing we saw last night?"

"Well, apparently, something dropped away from it and landed in the woods outside town, and a bunch of strange purple beams are shooting from it," said Jimmy, "It's really unusual."

"As unusual as Brave beating Wreck It Ralph in the Academy Awards?"*

At this moment, the Eds happened to walk in.

"Oh no!" Carl said, "Not them, the short guy will take my quarters!" he quickly stuck them in his back pocket.

"Hey, Jimmy?" Edd said as he noticed the young genius, "Do you have any idea what's going on here?"

Jimmy noticed Ed's passenger. "Whaaagh! What is that?"

"Well, it's a long story, apparently, this poor creature was struck by something that looked like a jar of pickles and he broke into pieces and we found his head in Ed's house."

"Actually, Double Dee, he was in my house first," Eddy said.

"I must find an opponent!" Ed said, "I found the evil head in Eddy's room!"

"What were you doing in my room?!"

"Well, I'm just investigating some strange occurrences in my town," said Jimmy, "A meteor crashed into the woods outside of town, and a strange purple aura is coming from it."

"Do you suppose that there's a connection between what happened to me and that strange meteor?" Lugia asked.

"Well," Jimmy said, taken aback by Lugia's telepathic abilities, "It's not implausible, but I'm not absolutely certain. We're going to take a closer look at the meteor in a moment."

"When?"

"Well, right about now."

…

Not too long afterwards, Jimmy, Carl, the Eds, and Lugia were en route to a nearby forest in one of Jimmy's vehicles.

As they headed on, they noticed a man waving at them from the side of the road.

"Well, may as well ask around for clues," Jimmy said as they slowed down the vehicle.

"Sorry, bud," Eddy said as he stuffed a protesting Lugia under his seat.

Jimmy rolled down the window. The man spoke before any of them could say anything.

"You kids are too young to be out here! This is dangerous territory!" he yelled.

"We are just conducting an investigation, that's all." Jimmy said, "Do you know about a strange meteor that crashed down here?"

"Know about it?" the man said, "I went out there with my dog to try and get a closer look! My poor dog was attacked by the thing and I have no idea what happened to her! Just "whoosh" and she was gone! I barely got out of there myself!"

Jimmy raised an eyebrow.

"So get your butts back home before you meet a similar fate!" Then the man turned and ran into his nearby cabin and locked the door.

"Ugh!" Lugia coughed, squirming out from under the seat, "I can't wait until I'm reunited with the rest of me. I'm sick of getting shoved into small spaces!"

"Are we going to keep going?" Carl asked, "I think we should follow his advice."

"I think he was just hysterical," Jimmy said, "Every story like this has one of those guys."

"Yeah, but don't they usually wind up being right?" Carl peeped.

Jimmy didn't hear that last part as he revved up the engine and hurried forward.

As they drove into the mountainside, they noticed a large tower of smoke a short distance ahead.

"I think we've found our meteor!" Jimmy said confidently.

"Look, kid, what if he's right?" Lugia said, "If what happened to his dog happens to all of you, we'll all be dead or whatever."

"We'll just use extreme caution," Jimmy said.

"Say, maybe he's right," Edd said, "I think we should turn back."

But by this time, they had already reached near the site of the meteor, which was right in the middle of the road!

"Look out!"

Screeeeech!

The vehicle "screeeeeech"ed to a halt.

"What is it?" Carl asked.

"Goddard," Jimmy said, "Go scan it, please."

"Bark! Bark!"

Goddard exited the vehicle and carefully approached. A small satellite dish came out of his chest.

A screen appeared on a device Jimmy was holding. "Well, it seems that it the meteor is-"

Powie!

A beam shot from the meteor and hit Goddard. Goddard broke into several pieces which all disappeared in a purple flash.

"GODDARD!" Jimmy screamed.

Then another beam shot out and hit the vehicle. It also broke into pieces that disappeared into flashes of purple.

"Run!" Edd yelled, grabbing Lugia.

Everyone hit the ground running for safety, purple beams flying all around.

"Help!" Carl yelled.

"Carl!" Jimmy yelled looking back.

A beam hit Carl. He split into several pieces like Goddard and the car did and disappeared.

"Come on, Jimmy! Come on!"

Jimmy whirled around and continued after the Eds.

…

"What'd I tell you!" the man said, "Turn back I said, and you didn't listen! Now look what happened!"

The Eds and Jimmy had run as fast as they could back up to the cabin where the man who had tried to stop them lived.

"We should have listened," admitted Jimmy, "We didn't and now Goddard and Carl are gone."

"Well," the man said, "I'll drive you kids back into town. Don't come back out here."

Ten minutes later, the man dropped them off back in front of the Candy Bar.

"I'm sorry, Jimmy," Edd said, "Is there any way we can help?"

"I'm not sure. I need to get to my lab real quick."

…

In the lab, Jimmy took the little device he had been trying to examine the meteor with and looked at little information he had gotten before Goddard went missing.

"Well, this is unusual." Jimmy muttered.

"What is it?" Lugia asked.

"The meteor is full of a strange form of radiation, comes from somewhere in the multi universe, and it is shaped funny."

"Like how?"

"Almost like a jar."

"Intriguing…"

"Well, that takes care of that; let's try to figure out what happened to Carl and Goddard."

Jimmy turned on a tracking device that usually tracked Goddard.

"What?" Jimmy said.

A large map of the multi-universe appeared along with three blips. One was in Danville, another in Hyrule, and the third was in Marzipan City.

"That's weird!" Eddy said, "How can he be in three places at once?"

"Apparently, when he dematerialized in front of us, he reappeared in three fragments strewn about the multi-universe."

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, back up, say that again in English!" Eddy said.

"He said that his dog is in several pieces all over the place!" Lugia said, "Wait, I'm starting to get a connection, maybe my body is in several pieces around the multi-universe! Maybe that was what hit me!"

"Well, I guess that's what happened to Carl as well," Jimmy said, "Let's go find them, I'll look for Goddard and Carl, and you'll look for the rest of him."

"I'm kinda big, they can't carry the rest of me!" Lugia whined.

"Well, then, take this!"

Jimmy handed Edd a small box-like device.

"The improved Hyper Cube should enable you to carry his pieces without much trouble." Jimmy said, "Just insert anything into the small opening."

Then Jimmy held a small scanner over Lugia.

"Now let's see where you should look."

Jimmy stuck the scanner into the computer. Now data for where Lugia's various body parts were appeared.

Six new white blips appeared on the screen. They were in the following locations:

A forested world

A large metropolis

A smaller town that looked nice

Another forested world with a small town nearby

A world neither of them recognized

And one was still in the world of Pokemon.

"Well, if that's where we're supposed to look, we should hurry up and get going! Who knows what could be happening to my body!"

"I guess we should get a move on then!" Edd said.

"North to Alaska!" Ed said, except he didn't, it was totally Jimmy. Of course it was Ed!

"Wait a sec!" Eddy said, "What's in it for us, Smarty Pants?"

"Well," Jimmy said, "I'm not sure, I could let you borrow the jawbreaker maker I've been-"

"Eddy? Where'd you go?"

Eddy was long gone.

"I guess we should be going then," said Edd.

"I'll call you if I find out something about the meteors," said Jimmy as he handed Edd a long distance walkie talkie, "Good luck!"

"Same to you!"

So Ed and Edd ran to catch up with Eddy to begin their new adventure…

"I have this sinking feeling that this isn't going to end well…"

END CHAPTER 2 (Thus begins the Eds' really strange adventure. This is definitely one of my weirder stories. I don't really have much to say here right now except to stay tuned and drop a review!)

* I hope I didn't offend any Brave fans with that comment right there, but I was kinda hoping Wreck It Ralph would take home the Academy Award this year. I don't hate Brave, but WIR just seemed to deserve it more in my opinion.
