Thanks Gantz Gun for the reviews. Heres the Fourth Chapter. I kind of sort of forgot about Clive so he appears later in the chapter then supposed to. Another Cul-de-sac kid shows up. My best attempt at a long chapter.

Chapter 4: The Rose Cochen's First Mission

10:00 PM. Everybody was ready for bed and looking forward to sleep. Double D wrote another diary entrée and read a little but of his book. Eddy was at his desk thinking up more scams for money, also known as dangols, here. Ed was asleep with comic books spread everywhere and one open on his face. Over the "PA" system the person said, "All trainee knights it is LIGHTS OUT time. Please go to bed now, thank you. Also before we go to bed, would the Rose Chochen Brigade please report to the Knights Briefing Room for a mission briefing. That is all, good night. Eddy shot up from his desk and yelled, "YES! Our first mission!" Eddy's loud voice woke Ed up who was very cranky.

Double D sighed and said, "Lets go guys."

Ed put on his normal goofy smile and asked, "Go where?"

Eddy answered, "To the mission room stupid."

Double D signaled them to come and they walked to the Knights Briefing Room, on the third floor.

They knocked on the door to the room. They heard Ganz's voice say, "Come in."

They walked in and sat down at the table in the center of the room. Ganz studied the group and realized some one wasn't here. Ganz asked, "Where's Master Jack?"

Double D replied, "Maybe he's asleep. I mean Ed slept through the announcement."

Ganz nodded and said, "Quite possible Master Double D." Then Jack burst in running and said, "Sorry I was late. Leonard waited five minutes before waking me up."

Ganz laughed and said, "Well, the important thing is that you are here now. So shall we get on with the briefing?" Everyone nodded and Ganz continued, "So here I go." A world map was pinned to the wall and Ganz pointed to Radiata Castle. He said, "Obviously we start here and we are going to Earth Valley. Which is over here." He moved his finger south then west, which pointed to a picture with a valley and some metal buildings in it. Ganz continued, "Our mission is to go pick up an official message from the dwarfs."

Ed look the most excited as he practically yelled, "Dwarfs!"

Ganz sighed and said, "Yes Ed, Dwarfs. Anyway, I expect you all to be packed up, ready, have eaten breakfast and here by 10:00 AM."

Everyone answered, "Yes, sir."

Ganz said, "Good, you are now dismissed." The Eds and Jack began the decent to the Basement 1 before 11:00.

They finally got to bed and woke up at 8:00 by the annoying "PA" system. GOOD MORNING RADIATA KNIGHTS! Today is the Rose Cochen's first mission so wish them luck. Ed woke everybody up by being very hyper about seeing dwarfs. They walked up to break fast with their stuff and sat down at a table with their meals. Nazz walked up and sat down next to them. She asked, "So, what brigade are you guys in?"

Double D answered, "The Rose Chochen Brigade."

Nazz looked surprised and said, "Wow, that means it your first mission today."

Eddy replied, "Yep, and it's something BIG."
Nazz looked surprised and asked, "Really? What is it?"

Eddy answered, "We need to take an official message from the dwarfs about weapons."

Nazz replied, "Really? That is big." Double D looked surprised and asked, "Really?"
Nazz nodded and said, "Yep, that's where we get our weapons from."

Double D looked at the clock and it read 10:50 AM. He nearly yelled, "Good Lord! We are going to be late."

Nazz told them, "You guys get going. I'll throw away your trash for you."

Double replied, "Thanks Nazz."

They ran down the hallway and into the Briefing Room just in time. Ganz laughed and asked, "Lost track of time?"

They nodded and Jack and Ridley showed up right after them. Ganz said, "Great we are all here, now we can get started. Everyone follow me."

They left Radiata through the south gate that went through the warrior district. They walked through a small village and saw that there were plenty of farmers about. Double D muttered to Eddy, "I would of bet anything this is where Rolf was."

Eddy responded, "Yah, no kidding."

After about five hours of travel, they came across a mountains looking place. They looked over the cliff and saw the valley, and also the dwarfs' town. They walked down the small narrow path to get to the city and eventually got to the entrance. At the top of the gate was a dwarf who asked, "Why are you here?"

Ganz responded, "We are the Rose Chochen Brigade here from the Radiata Knights to receive cargo and to escort it."

The dwarf said, "Ok, you may come in." The small door opened and showed a city made of completely metal pretty much. In the very center was a tall golden building. Every building (except the pub) had a chimney, with smoke coming from it. There were many flights of stairs all leading to shops and rooms. There were also two long bridges that lead to caves where the dwarfs got their ores. The dwarf climbed down the from the wall and said, "The chiefs building is in the center of the town." He pointed at the tall golden building.

Ganz answered, "Thank you. Follow me brigade!" They walked through the town looking at all of the dwarfs and metal buildings. Ed was especially excited. There were dwarfs everywhere. They were making weapons, mining ore, or getting drunk off of dwarf liquor. They entered the golden building and heard from above, "I'm on the top floor!" They climbed two sets of stairs and saw a throne sitting on a giant pile of gold. Eddy's eyes were beaming at the sight of it. Ed had his goofy smile still on and Jack was itching for a fight.

Ganz announced, "We are the Rose Chochen Brigade! We are here for the supplies!"

The dwarf responded, "You, are you? Well the things will be ready at 12:00 tomorrow. Come by then."

Ed exploded and said, "Oh my gosh, it's a dwarf! What's it like to be a dwarf? Is it cool? Do you like being short mister dwarf? What does dwarf liquor taste like?"

The dwarf looked startled and said, "Please human. Call me Gonovitch and I will save your questions until tomorrow. Is this ok?"

Ed smiled from ear to ear and said, "Ok, Gonovitch, dwarf man."

Gonovitch sighed and Ganz said, "Well, everyone explore town and be at the inn by at least 12:00 AM. Understood?"

They all replied, "Yes sir!"

They turned around and began to leave but Gonovitch said, "Also, before I forget, there is some help here for you."

Everyone looked confused. Ganz asked, "Is his name "Clive" by any chance?"

Gonovitch nodded and answered, "Yes it is. He said you were going to meet him here."

Ganz replied, "Oh, I understand. Well, good day." They all left the building and walked into the inn. In there they saw a priest wearing a lot of white, purple, and blue robes. Ganz approached him and asked, "You are Master Clive I presume?"

Clive turned around and said, "Yup, Clive is me."

Ganz looked surprised and asked, "Why are you here? We told you to meet us at the Warrior District."

Clive said, "Am sorry to disagree but it said Earth Valley."

Ganz replied, "Actually, it said we are going to Earth Valley and meet us at the Warrior District."

Clive looked sad and said, "Oh, Am sorry. I can't do nothing."

Double D looked surprised and asked, "You can't do anything?"

Clive replied, "Nope, nothing at all."

Eddy laughed and said, "Well you are better then Ed, you can speak sentences. Any way. What happened to lumpy?" Double D and Eddy look around them and there was no sign of Ed around them. Neither was Jack or Ridley.

Double D asked Eddy, "When did they leave?"

Eddy replied, "I don't know," Eddy lowered his voice and muttered, "No wonder it has been so quiet." After their conversation they found themselves in their hotel rooms. It was sort of small with six beds placed around the outside rim of the room.

Ganz smiled and said, "You are dismissed. You may explore Earth Valley." Double D and Eddy left the inn and looked at the time. It read: 4:00 PM. Double D asked Eddy, "So what do you want to do?" There was no response. He looked over and Eddy was gone as well. Double D sighed and said, "Well, I guess I can still look for the library." Double walked off in search of the library.

"COME AND GET THE NOVEL OF A LIFE TIME! ONLY 4 QARTERS," Eddy shouted so loud that even a dwarf in the mining tunnels sleeping could here him. All the dwarfs around him stopped and stared at him. Eddy asked, "What, you ever hear of cash?"

One of the dwarfs replied, "Yes, but what is this "quarter" you speak of?"

Eddy's jaw dropped and he practically yelled, "Wait. You don't have any quarters?"

The dwarfs responded, "No."

Eddy then heard a familiar voice from a small distance, "Oh ho. Ed-boy still hasn't changed I see."

Eddy whispered, "Wait… I know that voice. Who was it," his voice stopped for a few seconds then he yelled, "Wait! That sounds like-!"

He heard again saying, "Oh yes Ed-boy. It is I. Son of a shepherd, Rolf!"

Eddy yelled, "ROLF!"

Rolf replied, "Yes Ed-boy, can't you see Rolf right in front of you?"

Eddy asked him, "What are you doing here?"

Rolf answered, "After the whole he-who-everyone-admires little doohickey, Rolf woke up in side this here town." Eddy's jaw was still dropped. Rolf asked him, "Why is Ed-boy so shocked?"

Eddy answered, "Why are you here? And not farming?"

Rolf asked, "Ed-boy, are the other Ed-boy's with you?" Eddy nodded and Rolf continued, "Then Rolf shall see you and other Ed-boys in the pub tonight, at 8:00."

Rolf walked off and dwarfs around Eddy were still asking each other, "What is a quarter?"

Ed asked a dwarf (who was forging a weapon), "What is like to be dwarf?"

The dwarf replied, angrily, "For the last time my name is-."

Ed already was asking his next question, "Do you think dwarfs are cool? I think dwarfs are cool. What's it like to be small?" The dwarf finally lost its temper. It took the flaming hot sword from the furnace and held it up. He let a battle cry and started attacking Ed. Ed fled from the building and the dwarf locked the door.

Ed walked up two flights of stairs and walked through the door right across from the top. Inside there were dwarfs at many tables drinking liquor, talking, and laughing. There was fog inside the place giving it a sort of "eerie" feeling. At the small counter there was a dwarf who was cleaning the counter off with his rag. Behind him was a counter full of dwarf's liquor. In the corner there was a huge pile of boxes that had contained the liquor. Ed sat down at the counter and started asking the same questions to the bar tender.

Double D lied sown on his bed in shame. He muttered to himself, "What a shame. There is no library here. How do they educate themselves?"

Just as Double D nearly feel asleep he heard, "WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT WAS ALL MY FUALT!"

Jack and Ridley stormed into the room fighting…again. Ridley said, "Well, you did sneak in there and set of the guys attack squad."

Jack laughed and said, "The attack squad," he paused for a few seconds, "was a mob of rats."

Double D said to himself, "Like this can get any worse."

Eddy ran in and yelled, "DOUBLE D, ARE YOU HERE?"

Double D got up and answered, "Present."

Eddy said, "Follow me, we have to go somewhere."
Double D asked, "Where are we possibly going at 8:00 PM?"

Eddy said, "We are going to go see Rolf in the pub tonight."

Double D asked, "Wait…Rolf is here? Here?" Eddy nodded and Double D ran out of the inn and towards the pub.

Eddy and Double D entered the pub to see the bar tender getting ready to explode at Ed. The bar tender yelled, "IF YOU AREN"T BUYING ANYTHING, THEN GET OUT!"

Double D ran up to the bar tender and apologized, "I'm sorry about my friend. This is his first time of meeting dwarfs."

The bar tender replied, "Just get him away from me." They took Ed to the table across the pub and waited…and waited…and waited. Eddy nearly yelled, "Where is he!"

Just then Rolf barged in and yelled, "Rolf is here everybody!" All of the dwarfs began to clap. Rolf saw them and sat down at their small table. Eddy asked him, "What as that all about?"

Rolf answered, "Sorry Rolf was late. Rolf had to defeat some monsters who steal ore from the caves."

Double D asked, "Monsters?"

Rolf answered, "Yes, monsters. Ever since the fool defeated the water dragon monsters have been gaining in numbers."

Double D answered, "I see. But, can you tell us what has happened to you?"

Rolf replied, "Yes, Rolf shall. Anyway, after Rolf flew away from the platform, Rolf woke up outside this town. Gonovitch took Rolf in as a son he never had. He taught me the customs of the dwarfs. Rolf became the faster ore digger of the dwarfs and is a hero to them."

Eddy muttered, "That explains the cheering."

Rolf continued, "Rolf is now known as son-of-a-god."

Double D asked, "God?"

Rolf answered, ""Yes, Rolf, the god of mining and forging."

Ed smiled and said, "That is cool."

Rolf smiled and said, "Yes it is isn-." Rolf was cut off by the sound of screaming dwarfs. They all darted outside to see the dwarfs running away from the mines. Rolf asked a fleeing dwarf, "What is wrong?"

The dwarf said, "The Rockdiggers are attacking!"

Rolf yelled, "WHAT!"

Yep, I decided to end with a cliff hanger. Please R and R. Also, when Clive say "Am" he means I.
