Using the map, Quasimodo figured out that the Court of Miracles's entrance was through a tombstone in the cemetery. Ed bounced through. "Wow! Say cool, guys! I'm a zombie! ROAR!"
Phoebus pointed at Ed. "You know, I'm surprised he didn't give himself away at the belltower."
Edd rolled his eyes. "As long as he doesn't uproot any bodies, we're fine."
Quasi pushed a large stone slab on a tombstone over, revealing a staircase leading to the court. "Here it is."
Eddy looks down into the dark murk. "I ain't goin' down there."
"Splish splash, take a bath!" Ed threw Eddy in. The others followed.
"I cleaver hiding place, I must admit," said Edd as they passed piles of bones. "Not really the kind of area where one would look for miracles."
"It's more like the Court of Ankle Deep Sewage," agreed Phoebus.
Ed danced through the piles of bones. "Skeletons!"
"Keep your hands off of them!" hissed Phoebus. "Technically, they're currently the gypsy's property."
"Look, I just want to warn Esmeralda and get back to my tower," Quasi said quietly. "I don't want any more trouble."
Ed dove into the pile of bones.
"Great," said Eddy. "Trouble."
"We'll get him," sighed Edd. "You go on ahead."
As Edd and Eddy crawled through the bones after their friend, they heard music playing. They looked up to see Phoebus and Quasi captured by gypsies. "Oh dear!" whispered Edd. "They must think that Quasimodo and Phoebus are spies!"
"At least they didn't see us," said Eddy.
Clopin and the Gypsies: Maybe you've heard of a terrible place
Where the soundrels of Paris
Collect in a lair
Maybe you've heard of that mythical place
Called the Court of Miracles
Clopin: Hello, you're there!
"We need to find Esmeralda!" Edd said frantically. "Only she can help them!"
They quickly tunneled through the bones and came into the court. It was actually a vast place. Edd looked around. "Wait a second...this place is huge! How deep underground are we, anyway?
"Where's Waldo?" asked Ed.
Eddy was also impressed. "Man, I figured that she'd stick out like a sexy sore thumb. She could be anywhere!"
Edd ran through. "Start looking! They're coming!" The Eds opened doors at random. "Curses, she's nowhere to be found!"
"Boys?" came a voice from behind them. They turned around to see Esmeralda standing calmly behind them. "What are you doing here?"
"They have Quasimodo and Phoebus!" cried Edd. "Hurry!" They ran to the main room to find that a huge crowd had gathered around the gallows where the two prisoners were. Clopin danced around them.
Clopin: Now that we've seen all the evidence
Puppet: Wait! I object!
Clopin: Overruled!
Puppet: I object!
Clopin: Quiet!
Puppet: Dang!
Esmeralda struggled to push her way through the gypsies. "I can't get through!"
Ed suddenly picked her up. "Fly, Esmeralda!" Ed threw Esmeralda over the crowd towards Clopin.
Clopin: ...so you're going to hang!
Esmeralda landed on him. Clopin sat up and leered at her. "A bit soon to be landing on me, isn't it? Wait till I kill your spying boyfriend and then..."
Esmeralda glared at him. "He's not a spy! And neither is Quasimodo!"
"Why didn't they say so?" Clopin asked innocently.
"We did say so!" grumbled Quasi and Phoebus.
"And might I add that your justice system has many flaws!" added Edd.
Clopin shrugged. "Perhaps I should add another verse to the song..."
Eddy jumped up next to Clopin. "Look, we're just here to warn you that Frollo's coming at dawn! Geez, is that so hard to say without going through another song and dance routine?"
The gypsies gasped. Everyone quickly started to pack to escape. Esmeralda walked over to Phoebus. "You took a terrible risk coming here. It may not show, but we're all grateful. Especially me."
Phoebus noticed Quasi looking depressed. "But it wasn't just me! Quasimodo's the real brains behind this!"
Edd smiled. "Yes, without his help, we never would have found our way here."
"Nor would I!" thundered Frollo. The guards swarmed the court.
"Ya know," Eddy said calmly, "I saw that coming from a mile away."
The Eds found themselves surrounded. Edd turned to Eddy. "If you saw that coming from a mile away, why didn't you say something?"
"Huh. I don't know."
Don't ask me why it took so long to update.
