"I'm telling you guys she's real."Ed told his friends as he was taking them to Little Innsmouth.
"Ed for the tenth time,it's scientifically impossible for there to exist a cat-woman who's imortal and a human-like-fish-girl,besides if her head really came off then how did her body move when her brain wasn't connected to the spinal cord to send the brain waves to the nervous system and..."Double D explained before Eddy interrupted.
"Sockhead do you really have to explain that..."They came to a stop Ed only stared at his friends' discussion before something caught his eye,"You were saying the same thing about the Skullgirl before she showed up and nearly killed us..."
"Guys."Ed said trying to get their attention.
"I wasn't saying the exact same thing but it's just not possible Eddy,it's like that phone you said was cursed."
"Guys!"
"But that phone was cursed,both this and the Skullgirl are proof enough to you that cursed stuff exists,which means that phone was cursed!"
"GUYS!"
"What!?"Both of them said.
Ed then pointed to something that seemed a mugging,there were four guys in mafia suits and they were surrounding a guy,this guy had black skin,his hair were medium dreads,he was wearing a black jacket with a white shirt under along with jeans and brown boots,"Listen up kid it's pretty simple,either you give us your money,or we beat it out of you."
The guy simply smiled at them,"You guys from the Medici mafia are dumber than I thought."
"Why you..."The man threw a punch at him but he just swayed out of the way and delivered a right punch to his gut then a left uppercut to his chin,knocking him down,he then turned to the other three in what seemed to be a boxing fighting stance,one of the other muggers ran at him and tried a sequence of punches but this guy just swayed to the sides dodging every one of them before he came up with his own sequence of two straight punches to the face and three in the belly before knocking him down with a trust kick,the remaining two ran at him at the same time,he was going for both of them before Eddy came in and punched one of them across the face,the fighting training he took from the Black Egrets was paying off.
The other mugger that wasn't hit looked back breaking his concetration not noticing the guy come up and kick him in his belly,after the mugger bent over and grabbed his belly in pain he looked to see that the guy jumped and as he fell he delivered a hard punch to his face making him spin once before falling to the ground face down,Eddy kept his eye on the mugger in front of him before he pulled out a machete,Eddy stepped back hesitating,"Hey kid!"Eddy looked back to see the guy with a fist up and the weird is that his fist had a small visible hurricane around it,"Get down!"Eddy didn't understand before the guy threw the punch and the hurricane flew from his arm and was coming straight at Eddy he then knew why he had to duck and did so making it just go through his hair and hitting the mugger in his chest knocking him down.
Eddy looked at the guy with a weird look,"Yeah yeah I know,a hurricane just shot out of my hand and that's super freaky-"He was going to continue before he saw Eddy's fist light up in flames and he threw a fireball in his direction,he swayed to te side avoiding it and the fireball hit the mugger behind him who was about to stab him with his own machete.
Now this guy looked at Eddy with a weird look,"Yeah yeah I know,a fireball just shot out of my hand and that's super freaky."Eddy repeated the same thing the guy said but wasn't totally what he was going to say.
"Deja vu."Ed said to himself.
"I told you to leave him alone Eddy."Double D said as he and Ed walked close to the scene.
"Hey those jerks were asking for it."Eddy said back as he kept arguing with Double D as Ed went to greet the wind guy.
"Hey mister my name is Ed,these are Eddy and Double D."
"Nice meeting ya,my name's Tyson,so hey Eddy."
"What?"
"How did you learn to control the fire?"Eddy was about to answear but Double D interrupted.
"Let's leave our questions for later,we don't want to be around when these guys wake up."He said pointing to the muggers.
Tyson tagged along with the Eds,as they walked they told him about their powers and what happened with them back in Peach Creek,they reached Little Innsmouth,when they got there Eddy and Double D were wide eyed when they saw the humanoid fish people,they sat at a table and were going to ask about Tyson,until Ed saw Nadia.
"Oh hey Nadia!"He yelled and waved his arm getting her attention.
She walked up to their table,"Hey there rock boy,so these are your friends,my name is Nadia Fortune but you can call me Nadia."Eddy and Double D first noticed her clothing being just a tiny cyan colored turtle neck top with a collar with a golden bell with two balck eyes and a zig-zag mouth her top also showed some of her under-cleavage and what seemed to be what was left of some pants with a belt with pouches but they were ripped into pieces with the one covering her most intimate regions looking more like panties and other pieces and rips showed the clearly visible scars on her thighs,her shins and feet she also had fingerless gloves,her hair was white and from the top of her head came out two pointy cat ears and behind her waist was a cat tail and her eyes matched her top's color.
Double D held his nose so the blood wouldn't come out and averted his gaze even though he was fascinated by a cat-woman right in front of him just like Ed described,"Um...Nice meeting you too I'm Eddward with two D's so my friends Call me Double D."
Eddy on the other hand had his nose leaking with blood from the sight of her assets,"Name's Eddy..."He got up and walked around her,"And were did ya get these cat girl accessories they look so real."Eddy then grabbed her tail and tugged hard on it which made Nadia jump and yell out a loud meow,she then turned around and scratched Eddy's face leaving marks making him fall to the ground holding it and yelling in pain.
Angry Nadia simply walked away"Is it always like this with you guys?"Tyson asked with a sweat drop on his head.
"Sort of,so what brings you to New Meridian Tyson?"Double D asked.
"You guys said you were after the Skullgirl right,it seems we have an enemy in common."Tyson said as he rested his elbow on the table and his chin on his fist.
"She destroyed your home too?"Ed asked.
"Not exactly,I do have a score to settle with her,but my target is another."
"What do you mean?"Eddy asked as he got up rubbing his face the claw marks now gone.
"Have you guys heard of The Trinity?"
The Eds looked at him confused save for Ed who knew about it thanks to his researches on the Skullgirl."Uhh,sockhead in english please?"
Double D started explaining."Trinity as in three of them."
"I read about them."Ed spoke up."They're like the three goddesses of the Canopy Kingdom,known for their names:Venus Lovelace,Aeon and mother,they're worshipped by lots of people."
"I didn't know about this religion."Double D said.
"Bet'cha these goddesses are pretty hot and nice."Eddy said letting his imagination run free with a pervy smile and more drops of blood coming out of his nose.
"More like gross and horrible."Tyson said with a serious look on his face."You guys might not know this yet but the Trinity which we are talking about are the same ones that created the Skullheart."
Each Ed had a surprised look on their faces with this new piece of information."But why would their own goddesses create an artifact of massive destruction like the Skullheart?"Double D asked.
"I don't know but I'm gonna find out,that's why I'm after the Skullgirl she may not just get me closer to the answears that I seek but I heard rumors that a servant of the Trinity is working with her,I don't know exactly who she is but some say that she takes the form of a smilling nun and her original form is a lot more scarier than any human can imagine."
Smilling nun rang a bell on the Eds' heads having a flashback to the Skullgirl attack on Peach Creek."It's the same bitch who tried to eat us back at the Cul-de-sac."
Silence was the only sound around them for the moment before Ed as always is the first to break it."I know why don't you join us?If you come with us we'll definitely beat the Skullgirl easy."
"Ed I'm pretty sure that Tyson has his own reasons to take care of his-"
"Okay."Tyson said cutting off Double D.
"What?"
"He's right we're gunning for the same person and we'll have a bigger chance to defeat her if we work together."Tyson finished
"Well if you don't mind."Double D said and Tyson simply shook his head and stretched out his arm with his hand in a fist"So you guys in?"
"I'm in."Ed did the same followed by Eddy and Double D."Now we have the four elements:Fire,Water,Earth and Air,and together we are the Heroes of the Elements!"
"Ed that name sucks."Eddy remarked.
"Then how about Fantastic Four!"
"There's a movie with that name Ed."Double D said.
"Okay I'll think something up."
After some talking and eating the food they ordered Tyson decided to hang out with the Eds for a while,he told them he was renting a house that wasn't too far from their apartment so seeing him around wouldn't be too rare and they though that having someone else to talk aside from themselves would be good,they walked around the city until a poster caught their eyes they got closer to it and saw the announce "Cirque des Cartes come one come all and see our main attraction,TODAY."
"Cool a circus,hey you guys wanna go."Tyson invited.
The Eds agreed,they even told him that they tried a circus scam back in the Cul-de-sac.
Later at the circus.
The gang sat on the front bleachers as they watched the show,they had to say it was amazing there was a lot of fun attractions,the show was coming to an end until the announcer came up to the center."Ladies and gentlemen! The moment you've been waiting for! Our star attraction,the ultimate combination of power and beauty...!And master of the living weapon,Vice Versa...!"He then pointed up and spotlights turned on to show a woman walking on a tightrope wearing a sleeved mini dress with orange and black colors that also showed alot of her cleavage,thigh-lengthed boots with a pair of small skulls in each with some diamond patterns,black eyes with some make up and cerulean colored hair that was covered with a hat that had two muscular arms coming out of the sides and on the front a skull with horns that stretched up,and each arm of the hat was carrying one elephant."The star with the... er. FROM THE big top...CEREBELLA!"
Not soon after she showed up the crowd roared in cheer yelling stuff like "We love you Cerebella!" and "Can't wait for the encore!"The Eds had to cover their ears thanks to the loud yelling and cheering but uncovered them as soon as the sound died down and then flashes of cameras were lighting up the stage.
"Is all that cleavage really necessary?"Double D asked a little embarassed by the lady's clothes.
"Still gotta say,chick's pretty hot."Eddy comented keeping his stare on her chest,"Don'tcha think Ty."
Eddy didn't get an answear as Tyson was just gazing at the beauty walking the tightrope he was in some sort of trance as he didn't move an inch and his gaze never left the lady,"Hey you okay man?"Tyson snaps out of his trance by Eddy's question looking at the short Ed before answearing."Huh,yeah sure I'm fine."
"Tch wathever."Eddy said.
Tyson went back to staring at the lady before Ed said."Are you gonna ask for her autograph Tyson?"
"Huh,oh no thanks,I don't think so."He answered,as he looked at her he saw her waving at the crowd smiling for everyone and her eyes shifted from one place to another as if she was looking for someone and for a moment there he saw her look in his direction before looking away,"Besides what would a star like her want with a guy like me."
At the circus entrance.
The guys were leaving,"Well that was one circus that didn't actually suck."Eddy said as they got out.
"It's starting to get late we better go home."Double D suggested.
"You guys can go ahead I have to go see baby sister."Ed said before making his way to the hospital.
"Poor guy,his sister sure means a lot to him."Tyson said with a sad face,"You sure he'll be okay on his own."
"Ed can take of himself no need to worry."Eddy said as he and the rest of the gang started walking away,but before Double D could give another step he could feel an evil presence,he looked behind him to see there was a man dressed up in a brown suit with square glasses glaring daggers at him and his friends,Double D couldn't shake off the bad vibe he was giving him,he was sure that he was trouble so he picked up the pace and went after his friends.
The man watched as the tall unibrowed kid separated from the others and as the remaining three walked away one of them looked back at him with a tint of fear and doubt in his eyes but he simply turned around seeming like he wanted to ignore the man,"Vitale!"The man in suit turned to see who was calling him to find Cerebella carrying Vice Versa on her hand instead of her head revealing her sharp ponytail that she kept under her weapon-hat,"Did you see me perform today?"
"Surely did."He answered,"By the way Cerebella,I have a mission for you..."
With Ed.
Ed walked his way to the hospital,thinking about all the things he could tell Sarah after she woke up,and maybe even taking her and Jimmy to meet Parasoul so they could see a real life princess,Ed was so lost in his thoughts that when he snapped back to reality he notice he was at Little Innsmouth and he was near Nadia's restaurant,he could just walk by to see if everything was okay. As he reached the restaurant he heard something crash inside,he was about to go inside but he saw a lot of man dressed up just like the muggers he saw this morning and they were carrying poor little Minette.
She was tied up with ropes and a gagged with a piece of cloth,Ed didn't need to think twice to know what he had to do.
And I'll leave you guys with a cliffhanger,and I'm seriously thinkin' about makin' Ed call Double D and Eddy's attention a runnin' gag. Anyway I'll be workin' on the next chapter soon enough and try not to the three months to upload a new one. Well as always read if you liked leave a review,if ya didn't then what the hell are you still doin' here
