Chapter 3: Meeting the locals
At the headquarters of the Military Officers the Soldiers push the Eds out of the car.
"Move it!" shouted one of them.
"Hey watch the hair!" shouted Eddy.
The Eds look up at the building staring frighteningly at the large green flag with a monster on it and hundreds of soldiers jogging around the building. "What are they gonna do to us guys?" asked Ed.
"Just keep quit and leave the talking to me" said Eddy.
"That's what I'm afraid of" said Double D.
"Alright you three move it" said Hawkeye.
After heading inside and going through interrogation, mug shots, and fingerprints The Eds along with Armstrong and Hawkeye head into a large office where they meet a tall angry looking blond woman with full pouty lips sitting on her desk.
"Major, Lieutenant" she greeted.
"General" said Armstrong and Hawkeye saluting.
"At ease, so these… things are the reason for the panic in the city am hearing reports on" said the General.
"Excuse us ma'am we're for whatever trouble we might have caused but if we could maybe get a phone call am sure we can straighten this out" said Double D.
"Yeah lady we want to see our lawyers!' shouted Eddy.
"Can we get pizza too Eddy?" asked Ed.
"Sit down" said the General sternly peering down at the Eds.
The Eds gulp and look behind to see a sofa where they plop down on immediately.
The general turns to Hawkeye, "What do we got Lieutenant?" she asked.
"We ran through their names and fingerprints but nothing shows up" said Hawkeye.
"No records?" the General said.
"Nothing, all we know about them is that their names are Ed, Edd, and Eddy, and that they're teenagers that live in some place called Peach Creek" said Armstrong.
"Peach Creek? There's no such place" said the General.
"No such place? Lady when's the last time you looked at a map?" asked Eddy.
"You should watch your mouth kid this is the "Ice Queen" General of Central City your talking to" said Hawkeye.
"I don't care if she's Queen of Candy Land If you don't let us go you're gonna pay for it!" shouted Eddy.
The General gets up from her desk grabs her rapier and whacks Eddy on the head.
"Know your place kid!" she shouted.
"Ow!" shouted Eddy.
"They uh also had some bags with them" said Armstrong interrupting.
"Show me" said General Armstrong.
Armstrong calls a soldier from outside the room who drops three of the Ed's backpacks on the General's desk.
"Hey that's our stuff!" shouted Eddy.
General Armstrong whacks him in the head with her sword again.
"Ow!" shouted Eddy.
Armstrong and Hawkeye open up their bags and look through their books and papers.
"My Notes! I had those sorted aphetically and by date stop!" shouted Double D.
Before Double D could intervene The General whacks him in the head.
"Ye-Ouch!" cried Double D rubbing his head.
Ed laughs at Double D injury until he also gets hit in the head again.
"Ow! Would you stop that!" shouted Eddy.
"My Turn!" Shouted Ed.
Then a moldy sandwich falls out of Ed's backpack and stinks up the room with green gas.
"My god! What is this some kind of chemical weapon!?" shouted the General covering her nose and mouth along with Armstrong and Hawkeye.
"Aw that's just my lunch" said Ed.
"Ed seriously who shops for your groceries" said Double D breathing through his shirt.
General Armstrong picks up the sandwich with her sword, opens a window, and tosses it outside. Now more furious she unsheathes her sword and runs up to the Eds holding the blade towards their necks.
"No more tricks there's something you're not telling us now talk!" shouted General Armstrong.
"Okay take it easy" said Eddy pushing the sword away from them.
"Take it easy!? Our city is at a state of panic, Gluttony is somehow alive and is somewhere wreaking havoc, not to mention the hundreds of dollars of property damage and two honest hard-working officers are dead all because of you three!" said General Armstrong.
"Um excuse me General Armstrong is it? Please excuse my friend's lack of manners but we honestly have no idea what's going on" said Double D.
"Hmm judging by your manners you must be the smart one, start explaining" General Armstrong said turning to his attention.
"Well uh you see we were on a field trip to a museum and while we were working on our reports our friend here discovered a rare finding" explained Double D.
"What kind of finding?" asked General Armstrong.
"Eh some kind of glowing red rock it was right on my hands till lumpy here had to swallow it" said Eddy looking angry at Ed.
"A red rock…could you mean the Philosopher's stone?" asked Hawkeye.
"Exactly that's the name, next thing we know we woke up in some sewers where some old man with magic powers tried to kill us and then here we are" said Double D.
"An… old man in the sewers!?" said General Armstrong wide eyed.
"Yeah I think his name was Homunclue-something or whatever" said Eddy.
"Homunculus?" gasped Armstrong.
"Yeah that's the guy" said Ed.
Then General Armstrong Grabs Eddy's collar and slams him against the wall behind the couch.
"You bastards do you realize what we done!" General Armstrong shouted, "He was supposed to stay dead! We made sure of that and now he's somehow back because of you three!".
"Hey back off lady let go of me!" shouted Eddy.
"Olivia please calm down" said Armstrong.
"Can it Brother!" shouted General Armstrong dropping Eddy on the couch.
"Are you okay Eddy?" asked Double D. "Ohhh… and I thought Sarah was tough" moaned Eddy rubbing his head.
Suddenly they hear the sound breaking glass coming from outside.
"What was that? "asked Eddy.
"I think it came from outside" said Double D.
The Eds, Hawkeye, and both Armstrong's head by the window and take a look.
"Oh… my… god" whispered Armstrong.
Looking up they see the sky cracking open with pieces falling to the ground leaving a large hole of what appears to be TV static.
"Oh, dear this again" said Double D.
"Anybody have a strange feeling of foreshadowing?" asked Eddy.
"Staticky" said Ed.
General Armstrong takes a deep breath and calls the guard from outside.
"Hawkeye, I want you and this soldier to escort these three to a holding cell I need to be alone" said General Armstrong.
"Yes, General Ma'am" said Hawkeye saluting.
"You're gonna lock us up!?" asked Double D.
"Yeah what about our Miranda rights?" said Eddy.
Before they could get an answer Hawkeye and the guard quickly escort them out. With them gone General Armstrong sits back in her chair and rubs her eyes in exhaustion.
"Olivia what do you think this all means?" asked Armstrong.
"I don't know brother but I have a feeling it isn't good" said General Armstrong looking towards the window.
