Hi, So Strange here, and welcome to the second episode of Save The Ed.

Save The Ed.
Cahpter 2: Journey To Headquarters.
Edd looked at his surroundings, with disgust. The tiles he and Jonny, were walking along, were cracked, discoloured, and some of the murky sludge from the moat, that spread through peach creek's underground, had risen through the cracks.
"Jonny?" Edd asked, shifting uncomfortably, "How long is it, until we arrive at this headquarters of yours?"
"Not long, Double D" Jonny replied, before suddenly tensing up, as ripples in the murky sludge formed.
"Double D" Jonny whispered, his voice low and dark., "Be prepared, all sorts of creatures live here"
Another ripple in the sludge formed soon accompanied by a low grow. Edd, being timid, let out a small squeak as a large, scaly tail appeared from the sludge, no less than three meters away from them.
"Double D!, This way!" Jonny screamed, breaking into a run with Edd, a few steps behind him.
The two boys were running along the sewers path with incredible speed. While occasionally leaping to the other side of the sewer. with the large tail submerging and rising back up, and was only three feet behind the tow boys.
"Jonny!" Edd shouted, while clutching his chest in pain., "How much longer?"
Taking a sharp left, the two boys were three meters away from a six foot tall airlock.
"Their it is!" Jonny shouted in joy, but stopped running as a large shadow appeared in the water. Instantly the shadow burst out of the water, and landed on the path in front of the airlock.
"Oh, my lord!" Edd shouted in terror, as he looked at the large green figure of a fully grown adult alligator, strangely the alligator also had pure white eyes .
"It's a crocodile!" Jonny shouted, as he drew his melon staff.
"Jonny, that's an alligator. Despite the large similarities, this is an alligator, because of it's smaller nose" Edd corrected, as he lifted his shield in anticipation.
The two boys watched in terror as the alligator opened it's mouth, to reveal two sets of large, razor sharp teeth. And promptly leapt towards Jonny and snapped it's jaws shut. This would have been the end for Jonny, if he hadn't performed a back flip and dodged the attack. While in midair, Jonny brought his staff down on the reptiles head, only for it to harmlessly bounce of the hard scales.
"What gives!" Jonny shouted, as he landed on the large reptiles head. And followed up his aerial attack with a string of horizontal strikes, on the alligators spine, just for them to bounce of it's scales harmlessly.
"Jonny!" Edd shouted, jumping a few feet in the air, to avoid the reptiles thrashing tail. , "Reptiles have hard scales, the only way to harm them is to attack their soft underbelly!"
"Got it!" Jonny shouted, before the alligator threw Jonny of it's head.
As Jonny flew through the air, the alligator had started to attack the smart Ed. Quickly bringing his shield up, the alligators jaws clamped shut on the shield.
"Perfect" Edd said, as the alligators mouth was held open by his shield.
"Out of the way!" Jonny shouted, as he ran towards the alligator, only to drop to his knees and slide under the reptiles body. And quickly and quite forcefully thrust his staff repeatedly in it's exposed underbelly.
With a deafening roar, the large reptile fell into the murky sludge unconscious, allowing Edd, to safely pull his shield out of the reptiles mouth.
"Can you believe it" Jonny said quietly, before screaming, "We beat a Crocodile!"
"Alligator!" Edd shouted., "Now, can we turn our attention back to this quest?" Edd asked, while trying to avoid eye contact with the unconscious reptile.
"Sure Double D" Jonny replied, while walking up to the airlock and quickly unsealed it.
"Sanctuary!" Edd screamed in joy, as he ran into a large dull lit chamber. The chamber was filled with a vast assortment of different materials, maps of peach creek with what looked like different coloured circles covering them, a large oak table with six seats and a few books sitting on it, six brown doors which led to bedrooms, a large white door with the word bathroom wrote on it, and a person was standing at the corner of the chamber.
Edd looked at the outlined shape of the figure, standing in the corner of the chamber. The figure was slightly taller than him, but one certain thing made Edd realize who this person was. There was no mistaking it, the shape of their hair belonged to one person only.
"L-L-LEE!" Edd shouted in shock, as the figure stepped into the light. Edd looked at her, and noticed that instead of her white shirt, with red poka-dots and light blue denim jeans. She was wearing a black long sleeved shirt, a pair of black jeans and trainers, and a belt that had six holsters wrapped around it.
"Double D!" Lee shouted, in just about the same level of shock as him. , "I thought you were captured, by that slime ball"
"Captured, Lee what do you mean?" Edd asked, an uneasy feeling settling in his stomach.
"You didn't tell him?" Lee asked, facing Jonny.
"I thought it would be safer if we told him here" Jonny answered.
"Okay" Lee said, turning back to Edd with a very depressed face. , "It all started one week ago"
And their you have it, Edd and Jonny have arrived at Headquarters. And next time you will learn what happened that fateful week.
Enemy Bios are now up.
