Last time on Ed, Edd n Eddy Z: Fighting Dreamers, the kids thought that the Eds being gone almost half the day for the past ten weeks was a little strange, so they decided to investigate. They found the Eds in one of their training sessions in the woods. They were flabbergasted. They had no idea that the Eds were so powerful. School started the next day, and the kids would not cover for them and so then had to go. Afterwards, the Ashike Tokusentai finally arrived. They destroyed nearly half of the downtown area. Will the Eds stop them? What will the kids do? Could this series get any better? All these questions and more will be revealed in this episode.
Chapter Four: First Fight! Brandon Vs The Mighty Pike!
Double D quickly ran over to Eddy and helped him up. Don-Kia had remarkable strength and speed. He also spoke with a heavy British accent. Eddy stood up slowly with one hand on his jacked up back. This was the first time the Eds met someone so strong. He could knock down with the slightest bit of strength. Eddy didn't like that.
"Okay. You guys may not have known this, but that guy is no good." Ed announced boldly, but stupidly. Kastor face palmed.
"No sh*t, Ed!" Eddy belittled. Ed blew a raspberry towards Eddy. Some of Ed's spit landed on Eddy face. Eddy got a WTF face and then wiped the nasty saliva off.
"Come on let's fight already!" Pike edged on. Eddy growled at him. He was about ready to kick Pike in the dragon balls. Though, he was an entirely different species. Eddy thought he probably didn't have any. Brandon stopped him. He felt that it should him who fights first.
"It's only fair that I fight first," Brandon started. Eddy groaned audibly. "Because I am the strongest, fastest, second smartest and most handsome!" Brandon claimed, striking a pose to show off his thought-to-be wonderfully formed appearance. Eddy chuckled to himself.
"I'm sorry, but you lost me there. In my days, I've never seen someone so ugly before." Pike returned. Pike was ugly to human eyes, but to his species, Eyarthas, he is considered to be one of the most handsome.
"Yeah, well look at yourself! You're the walking definition." Brandon countered.
Cymbor and Don Kia gasped loudly, "Oh no you didn't!" Before things could get out of hand, Eddy intervened.
"Hey girls, BUT NOW REALLY ISN'T THE TINE FOR A F*CKING MISS AMERICA COMPETION!" Eddy yelled at the top of his lungs. Ed and Double D grasped their ears. Eddy was so freakin' loud. And his voice cracked because he was finally reaching puberty. Pike scratched his head.
While he was distracted, Brandon charged at him and tried to punch him. But he quickly dodged it without even thinking about it. Brandon then tried to elbow him in the side of his face, but Pike ducked just in time effortlessly. Brandon then struggled to punch and kick him with everything he had. Though, it didn't help at all. Pike blocked every single tiny microscopic little punch easily.
"What! How can this be?" Brandon demanded, scratching his head. Pike grinned evilly to himself and then laughed.
"Hmmm. They should have been here by now… Where are the fighters?" That was a joke about how weak they were. Brandon wasn't going to let anyone insult him or his friends. Brandon placed his index and middle finger on his forehead. Then a light blue grew on his fingers.
"Makankōsappō!" Brandon screamed. He was forming a Special Beam Cannon.
"Subtitles please!" Pike insisted. About a second after he said that, the Special Beam Cannon hit him. There wasn't a single trace of him left. Brandon thought that he had already killed Pike. The Eds thought so too.
"It wasn't that cool or exciting, but at this point I don't care!" Eddy exclaimed. Don Kia and Cymbor grinned evilly and then pointed to the sky.
"Look up." Cymbor directed. Brandon did so. He saw that Pike was flying right over his head and was completely unscratched.
"Oh my word!" Double D shouted audibly.
'Dangit! This guy is stronger than I anticipated! How could I, of all people, have been so imprudent?" Brandon criticized himself, balling his fists. Pike flew down to his level and walked up to him. Brandon growled and his blood began to boil. As if he read his mind, Pike said that he obviously underestimated him. Pike also said that he wasn't using a fraction of his power.
"Well, that wasn't my full power either! Just you wait!" Brandon cautioned, while powering up to maximum power. Pike nodded. Now they were almost Even Steven. Brandon was still a tiny bit weaker. They went at it from then on. They traded punches.
"Things are definitely starting to heat up now." Kastor remarked. The others grunted in agreement. But then Double D's smile turned into a frown. His father had told him he had to be back by six o'clock and it was already 5:45!
"Relax Double Dweeb. Time is always on our side..." Eddy started, pointing to his watch and putting a hand on Double D's shoulder. "When everyone finds out we beat these guys, then we'll be allowed to have all the time we need to fight." Double D opened his mouth to argue but he just sighed. There was no use in continuing and argument you know you won't win.
"Now the battle don't start 'til I charge in!" Ed sang, while prancing around.
Meanwhile in the Cul-de-Sac, the neighborhood kids were at Nazz's house watching the news. They just heard that nearly half downtown was destroyed and turned into the newest wasteland.
"My friend Joe called me over there, and when I made it, there was nothing there. Downtown had been reduced to a pile of dust." Frank explained, on the news.
"Oh my gosh, were the Eds really telling the truth? If so, can the Eds beat them?" Nazz asked.
"Has the time come for us to die?" Kevin asked. Jonny shrugged his shoulders.
"The Eds must be telling the truth. Right now, Plank says the Eds are in a barren wasteland fighting the aliens with their friends." Jonny replied. The other kids raised an eyebrow. He sensed their energy. How could a bald kid do that?
"Well, I've developed a technique where I can sense what's going on in all areas, to the ends of the Earth. As long as there is at least one microscopic living creature there, I can do it." Jonny clarified.
"Is Jonny the-wood-boy certain? The son of a shepherd does not comprehend you." Rolf said.
"It's true. I can see them right now, fighting Pike." Jonny said. So now the kids had Jonny to rely on for the outcome of the battle. Also, if they put their hands on him, they could see it as clear as he could. And so they did.
"Things can't get any weirder than this!" Sarah groaned.
"Truth is stranger than fiction." Kevin claimed.
Back in the wasteland, Pike and Brandon were still going at it for the past fifteen minutes. They punched, kicked, and threw ki blasts at each other. Right now, they were elbowing each other in the face. Neither of them was going to back down now.
"Come on! Let's pick up the tempo!" Pike commanded. He grabbed Brandon's left leg and then judo flipped him. Brandon caught himself and then charged back at Pike. He punched him three times in the face and then kicked in the stomach. Pike coughed right after that because he felt like he had the wind knocked right out of him. Brandon was going to punch him again, but Pike caught his fist and caught his head with his other hand. Still holding onto his head, Pike threw Brandon in to the air.
Brandon caught himself when he was about a few yards above Pike. He stood there floating; he badly needed to catch his breath. 'Man, I haven't felt a power like this in ages.' Brandon thought, panting heavily between words.
"If my father were here, then Ashike would be going down and he wouldn't be getting up again! For real!" Kastor sighed. Kastor really missed his father Chiron. Kastor looked up to him and thought of he as a great fighter. Though sometimes he didn't give Chiron the respect he deserved for doing what's right when Kastor didn't see it that way.
"Oh my gosh gravy!" Ed called out.
Brandon looked down at Pike who was just a few yards down, minding his own business. He didn't have a care in the world, like two-year-old getting a brand new toy. Brandon started to make a Kamehameha Wave. It grew bigger and bigger. But still, Pike was acting like the two year old he was on the inside. He had his hands behind his head, closed his eyes and began to hum loudly. Brandon hit Pike directly, but it didn't faze him.
"Seriously, are you even trying to intimidate me? Even to look the slightest bit intimidating?" Pike laughed out loud.
"It's like he doesn't have a weak point! How will I ever beat him?" Brandon whispered to himself.
"Come on! I'm waiting!" Pike urged.
"Look at him! He can't keep up!" Cymbor called out pointing.
"Yeah! Pike sure does kick butt!" Don Kia cheered. Brandon wasn't sure of what to do now. He tried everything. And Pike was just was standing there laughing in his face. Maybe he wasn't as strong as he thought? Brandon shook his head. He wasn't going to admit to that.
"I am not weaker than f*cking Ed!" Brandon screamed audibly. He covered his mouth right after that. He didn't mean to say that out loud. Everyone just shrugged their shoulders.
Right now, he was between a rock and a hard place. "If I quit, I'll be ridiculed indefinitely. But if I keep fighting, Pike might sneak up on me and punch me in the face! I'll be ridiculed even more! And Brandon does not like being ridiculed!" Brandon exclaimed, in a much more hushed tone.
Just a few seconds later, some sort of beautiful eagle flew by the barren wasteland. It looked majestic and graceful as it flew in the sunlit sky and as the wind fell through its wings. Although, Pike was a nature hater. He shot the bird with a small hand-sized ki blast. A small cloud of dust appeared. And when it cleared, there was no bird to be found. Pike had destroyed it. All the way in the Cul-de-Sac, Jonny felt the disturbance.
"You mad, bro?" Pike intimidated with a vile grin. He couldn't hold in his laughter for too long. There were so many bursts of laughter between sentences.
"Excuse me-," Laughter, "You must excuse me-," Rolling on the ground laughing, "I'm sorry I-," Tears of laughter, "I always find it laughable whenever I kill a living being. Especially when they're so weak. Ed began laughing with him. Though he was clueless at what he was laughing at. Eddy smacked him in the head for him to stop.
"I hate birds as much as the next guy, but that's just animal cruelty!" Eddy stated boldly.
Brandon turned around so nobody could see him cry. It was just too discouraging for him to bear. The thought of every person on Earth becoming a pile of dust if he didn't focus was what was getting him down. 'Everyone's counting on me: Ed, Edd, Eddy, Kastor and Aaron! Hang in their guys. I'm not done yet. Far from it, my friends!' Brandon encouraged himself. He wiped away his tears and next turned back around to fight.
Pike realized that his power increased amazingly and it was greater than his. He was a little scared now. "Pike should apologize," He uttered in the 3rd person, "What am I saying! I cannot stop!"
"What an inane and incoherent day this was. But either way, do not back down!" Double D encouraged.
Yes! Brandon is at maximum power! How can he lose now? Will Pike rise up and kill Brandon? Can Ed's monobrow get any bigger? All these questions and more will be answered in the next chapter! So read, review and favorite!
