I love making people shift uncomfortably in their seats, it gives me something to look forward to when I get home every afternoon. :D


Eddy released his hold on Alyssa. Even though it was a closed lipped kiss, a strand of drool hung between their mouths. Furious, Alyssa slapped him hard across the face. The slap was so hard it flipped him over onto the ground. "WHAT THE F*CK ARE YOU THINKING?" She screamed. Eddy clutched his sore cheek painfully.

"I thought it would get Double D the juice he needed!" He yelled back. Then for some reason, it got really hot out. He began to sweat a lot and so did most of the people in the arena. He looked up to see Double D, fuming so much that it was incredible that his head didn't explode from all the heat he was creating. "Sockhead! Cool it! It wasn't for real!" Eddy shouted at him as he came off the stage, still furious. He put up a block of ice in his angry friends path, but Double D's anger and fire was so large it melted the ice almost immedietly when he touched it.

"Eddy... how dare you..." He hissed. Eddy backed away, now a little scared of what his friend could do to him. Double D remained silent, Then he raised his arm with the flames threatening to come out. THWAK! Something loud sounded... and then Double D fell to the ground with an arrow between his shoulder blades. All five of them screamed in fear and surprise just as Delanie laughed with approval. The arrow burned into blackness a little before his fire died down.

"D-Double D..." Alyssa dropped to her knees, eyes filled with horror and sadness. Tears fell from her eyes and sizzled on his skin. Alice held her breath, then took out the arrow as fast as she could.

"Hah! So puny and weak that he can't even take one arrow. I'll finish these cretins off." Delanie said, getting off her throne.

"Ed, neither he or Eddy are in any condition to fight..." Alice said. Ed nodded in understanding for once and gave Delanie a very threatening glare as he stepped onto the stage. Eddy and Alice watched as Alyssa cradled Double D's unconcious head, sobbing slightly and listening very closely to his heart beat slow. She ripped off a piece of her(well, really HIS...) shirt and tied it around his back to stop the bleeding. Then picking up some ice she pressed it against his wound, a poor disinfectant but better than nothing. He hissed but then relax a bit. His head lay in her lap and he began to have an easy rest.

"I hope Ed knows what he's doing." Alice said. Delanie and Ed circled each other, their eyes never faltering in the fierceness and anger towards each other. Alex groaned and sat up.

"Wtf is going on?" Alex asked. Her dirty blonde hair was full of grass and leaves. She rubbed her eyes and her green eyes saw Ed and Delanie, about to dish it out, and Alyssa clutching Double D on her lap asleep and a bunch if blood on some of the grass. "Wh-What is Ed doing with... HER?" She jumped onto her feet and watched closely with Eddy and Alice.

"Now... let us see if you can withstand this!" Delanie shouted, raising her arms and all of a sudden her red hair came alive. Ed's eyes widened and his unibrow went up, this wasn't normal for redheads, he knew this because his sister's hair didn't hiss. Delanie's hair coiled and flicked their tongues like snakes. Glowing yellow eyes like hers opened themselves and once they were all out, the snakes all hissed at Ed.

"S-Slimy slippery snake woman!" Ed said, a little scared. He looked back at his friends to find Alex watching in slight fear. A chill ran up everyone's spines. Delanie raised her hand, and for some reason her skin started to shine a little more than usual. Scales began to form on her skin, and her eyes narrowed into yellow slits.

"Hssss... Time to die idiot..." She hissed out just like a real snake. Even flickering her tongue and baring her newly formed yellowish fangs at him. Her hair of snakes all hissed at him and bore their fangs too. The mace flew at him and Ed jumped out of the way. Ed whistled loudly and mongooses began to come out.

"Aww... I was hoping for chickens!" Ed whined, but jumped when he found the stage crawling with snakes now.

"AGH!" Alice helped Alyssa heft Double D onto higher ground. Eddy climbed onto a stool and Alex began to crush them with her feet. The mongooses and snakes began to tussle fiercely, blood spurting everywhere. Then, the ground began to shake. Ed stumbled a bit and Delanie was cackling. Something rattled loudly and out of the center of the stage came out a large sandy brown rattlesnake, its rattle threatening to kill. Its head darted from side to side as it began to circle its prey. A few mongooses bit it, but the teeth never made it past the thick scales.

"You have no choice but to sssurrender foolisssh male! I have you cornered in every way. Even your little friendsss are being usssed for toysss by my lovely snakessss..." She droned out each letter 's' she used and petted her hair. It coiled around her hand happily.

"Play fair you ugly snake woman!" Ed yelled. The rattle snake lunged at him and he punched it straight between the eyes. It flinched and fell, but got back up.

"ED!" Ed looked back to see Alice holding onto Alex's fallen form, on her leg was the imprint of two fangs from a snake. His heart nearly stopped seeing now two of his friends dying. The wound was purplish and swollen by now and most of the snakes were squished. Alice had stolen a gun from one of the more higher up and began angrily shooting the snakes with it repeatedly with tears falling.

"Eddy, you've gotta suck the poison before it goes into her bloodstream!" Alyssa shouted over the loud rifle and Ed and Delanie's vicious fighting.

"No! That's disgusting!"

"She'll die if you don't!" Eddy scowled but crouched to her leg and sucked from the wound. He came up and spat out the poison on the ground. "Ew..."

"That's good, just keep doing that til the poison is gone." Alyssa said. Double D groaned a bit but continued to sleep.

On stage

"No one hurts my friends! I, Ed, WILL CONQUER YOU!" He screamed, then there was an explosion of light.

"HISSSSSSSSS!" All the snakes hissed out, covering their eyes. Alex and Double D opened their eyes, if just for that one moment, to see the newly transformed Ed. There he stood, eyes a vicious crimson and his hair was... longer than it was supposed to be. It was standing up, green. A pulsing yellow glow surrounded him in all his glory. But he had no time to awe at the new found sensations, for he was way too angry with the evil woman to even care. His feet left the ground, and now he was flying. "DIE!" The snakes flew and came at him. Ed swirled and did a big fire blast from his hands, incinerating all the snakes into ashes.

"What- how? H-How is this happening?" Alyssa asked. Alice's mouth was agape as Ed skillfully dodged Delanie's attacks.

"The Super Scammer..." Eddy mumbled. "How did he get it but not me?"

"The what?" Alice asked.

"It's just some legend among scammers and stuff. Some cardealer scammed a bunch of guys. Then those same guys form a mob and attack the guy. When that cardealer got arrested and was about to get hung, he turned into... well... the super scammer." He pointed to Ed. "He defeated all the men and has been considered a legend. But I don't get how ED, of all people, got to be a Super Scammer." Eddy said, shaking his head.

"Wow, so he's like the saiyan of Eds?" Alyssa asked. (Dragonball Z reference here)

"What's a 'Si-yan'?"

"Oh nothing..." There was a sudden blast of fire, and then a large chill. They looked up and somehow Ed and Delanie were dishing it out in the air. Delanie was standing on her rattlesnake and Ed was flying around her. Ed had two ice spears in his hands and Delanie kept blocking his attempts with her mace. He threw the spear, and it didn't hit her.

"HAH! You call that aiming you worthless boy?" Delanie cackled.

"Uh, your highness?" Called out one of the servants.

"WHAT?"

"He wasn't aiming for you." The servant pointed to the large tree near the stage. The ice had blown a large hole and froze some of the inside. It cracked loudly and started to fall.

"Timber!" Ed shouted. The tree cracked, making everyone wince but not as much as when it fell... right on top of the rattlesnake. Delanie had jumped off the snake.

"Hmph, you're not as incompetent in the battle field as I thought. But this is goodbye." She brought her hands up, they were trembling. Her eyes turned a deathly shade of orange and green air puffed out of her nose.

"Ed! Be careful!" Alex shouted as loudly as she could. Ed looked at Alex's weak form and smiled a bit. "ED!" He looked back at Delanie to see a glowing ball of yellow in her hands.

"What is she doing?" Eddy asked, backing up a bit. Alice looked around to see that people had covered their eyes, and the ones that haven't turned to stone.

"Hnnn..." Delanie raised her arms to her chest and extended them towards Ed's direction. "HAAAH!" She opened her eyes wide and launched a full blast of dark yellow and orange streaked energy.

"EAGH!" Ed threw in his own blast of energy, a mixture of the fire, ice, and animal energy. The two's collided, and the battle still went on. Animals walking around fell down and crumbled from their places as stones. Their power was equal, as neither's would budge. Delanie's hair stood up, all the snakes then wriggled. All the stone statues in the yard began to emit some yellowish mist and it went into Delanie. As it came in more and more, her energy began to push Ed's back. Double D, still injured, sat up by himself clutching his chest.

"Double D! You're awake!" Alice said.

"What is happening here? Is that... Ed?" He asked.

"Yes. But he looks like he's losing because that son of a bitch just HAS to cheat..." Alyssa growled. Double D stumbled onto his feet. "What are you doing? Your wound hasn't even had the chance to heal!"

"Ed looks like he might need my help. Come Eddy, we need to help our fellow comrade." Double D said as he limped towards the stage. Eddy remained in place until Double d fell. Sighing, he ran up to him and proceded to help him up the stage.
