Wooot! Final chapter baby! Hope for the best and that everyone survives. I'd like to thank everyone for reading this and keeping me inspired for this story~ If you dislike my stories and me a lot then I question why you're even reading this. KNOW THAT I AM WORKING ON SPELLING AND GRAMMAR! Sometimes I type too fast and forget about mistakes. :P
The night sky was turning darker and darker, soon enough there could be a distant howling. The moon was hidden behind clouds. Double D and Eddy stood behind Ed. The force of energy from Delanie was so powerful it was almost making them stiff. A piece of Eddy's hair crumbled like stone. Ed's energy blast kept shortening. His nose itched like hell too. "Gotta... scratch... nose!" He exclaimed, beads of sweat trickling down his face. "I CAN'T TAKE THIS ANYMORE!" His arms were about to give away when Eddy scratched his nose. "Oooh yeah..." He said, now more relaxed. The Als watched as Eddy and Double D joined Ed in their power. Double D lifted his arm and a sudden burst of fire joined with Ed's. Eddy just dazed a bit.
"Eddy! You need to help too!" Alyssa shouted Eddy still didn't do anything..
"MOVE IT YOU F*CKING FAT***!" Screamed Alice. Eddy turned and glared at her with equally icy eyes, but this time literally. Her harsh glare penatrated the thickness of his ice and he nearly fell from remaning eye contact with her for so long. Finally not able to take it she climbs onto the stage, grabbed his arm, and stomped on his foot really hard with her heel. Just as everyone was watching, Alyssa snuck off somewhere.
"YAAAAHHH! YOU BI-" He was about to spew insults when his ice exploded out of his hand and joined the other Eds.
"Thank you Alice." Double D said, relieved. Alice nodded her welcome and gave Delanie a middle finger before jumping off.
"HHHHNNN..." Delanie groaned deep within herself, making the blast go towards the Eds more.
"More fire power guys!" Eddy yelled. The Eds pushed their power farther, now Eddy and Double D's pupils were beginning to turn red like Ed's.
"C'MON GUYS! PUSH IT!" Alex screamed, flailing her arms around. The guards came from behind them and grabbed all three girls's wrists. "F*ck off you bitches!" Alex yelled angrily. Alice tripped one of the guards onto their behinds and shoved away the next incoming one. A guard came onto the stage and was about to attack the Eds when a loud voice rang.
"FIRE IN THE HOLE!" Screamed Alyssa as she lit the cannon and it fired straight at the guard, knocking her straight into another guard and causing yet another riot. The Eds pushed even harder, and now the energy was starting to go back at Delanie.
"Grrrr... I need more power..." She mumbled, then eyed Alice as the guards grabbed her. "GUARDS! BRING HER TO ME!" The guards obligend and Delanie was beginning to break out in a sweat. Slowly, the snakes coiled around Alice, then made her as still as a stone. Only her eyes and mouth could move. Her feet began to gray, and every second that ticked by was another second closer of her to become a stone statue. The Eds were shocked, especially Eddy. Rage that had previously not been there before built up until finally, it exploded.
"DIIIEEEEE!" He shouted, and in a sudden explosion he was now Super Scammer Eddy. His hair stood up, now yellow. His eyes a vicious red. His energy now tenth of what it was before. Delanie kept sucking in energy like a leech, but the Eds were beginning to win because now the energy was more than past the middle. "Leave Alice alone and I'll take it easy on you!"
"NEVER! Sucking life force is the only thing keeping my skin and luscious body looking young!" Alice struggled to move, but it was no use. The stone was already up to her knees.
"Hurry guys! I don't wanna be a lawn ornament!" Alice shouted as loud as she could.
Alice's POV
Oh man... how did it end up like this? I can't feel my fricking legs here. From the corner of my eye I see Alyssa and Alex about to be dragged over here. Alyssa was placed next to me and by now she was at a complete frozen state, her eyes wide and only her lips could move. "Hey Aly." Her eyes narrowed at me and I couldn't help but let a small smile creep onto my face. Alex was brought next to us, her arms were frozen above her head and eyes angry.
"...this is a stupid way to die." She said. We all agreed. I now had the stone up to my waist, Alyssa had it up to her knees and Alex to her ankles. "I gotta peeeee..." she whined.
"Worry about all us getting out before pissing yourself why don't you?" Alyssa spat.
"Woah, calm down."
"How could I? We're about to be stone dead here and all she can think about is peeing!" There were a few chuckles. Alice by now had the stone up to her stomach.
"HELP ME!" I screamed, not caring how desperate I sounded. Someone tied a gag around my mouth so that I couldn't cry out. Alyssa and Alex bickered back and forth, and out of the corner of my eye, I could see the guys still pushing. Double D had not gone Super Scammer though. I know that if he goes like Ed and Eddy, their power would be enough to defeat Delanie. God that sounded corny... like some sort of old action film... I felt my spine going stiff by now.
"ALICE!" Screamed both my friends, then everything went white.
3rd person
"ALICE!" All three Eds and Delanie looked to see Alice was now completely incased in stone. Delanie absorbed her energy and smiled, her teeth now yellowed fangs and her tongue flickered over her lips. Alice's eyes were closed and her expression was very sad now that she was a complete statue. The Eds especially Eddy nearly exploded from anger. All of a sudden, Double D's body burst into light and now he was a Super Scammer.
"You... You... F*CKING ****!" Eddy released all his anger and the blast went farther.
"NOW YOU'VE MADE ME ANGRY!" Ed screamed through tears.
"Scum like you don't deserve the throne!" Double D hissed out, his voice now booming. His hat stood up and the hairs that poked out from beneath his hat turned yellow. His eyes were red as well and the yellow aura came onto him. That final transformation thrust the whole blast of energy right onto Delanie and her snakes. She shrieked like a banshee, and the Eds had to cover their ears. Alysss was already from the neck down in stone, and Alex's whole torso and legs were covered. Ed and Double D rushed to their aid, when they touched the stone, it crumbled away to reveal skin. The brunette fell into Double D's hold, worn out from Delanie's leeching and panting for breath.
"Hah... hah... Thanks. I couldn't breathe properly." She said gratefully, then hugged him. Double D blushed but hugged her back. She felt the place where he was shot to find the wound gone. Everyone surrounding the stage gasped, they had survived Queen Delanie's most terrible weapon.
"Those children... have set us free." Said one of the male slaves. It took them all a while to process this fact before all the men and mistreated women cheered loudly. The shackles were thrown off and the women who had followed Delanie on their own will were put in the shackles instead.
"Ed? Can you please now undo the stone on my legs?" Alex choked out as Ed squeezed her like crazy. He still hadn't undone the spell on her feet so they were stuck to the ground. She looked over Ed's shoulder to see Delanie, solid as a statue in her own spell. Her face was twisted into a horrifying vision, her snake hair extended everywhere and her arms above her head. Double D and Alyssa watched sadly as Eddy walked up to the statue of Alice.
"... Alice?" He asked, touching her hand. The stone crumbled away to reveal her pale skin. The hand grasped his weakly. After Ed had finally let Alex go, she stumbed behind Eddy and shoved him right into Alice. His and Alice's stony lips met, and the stone crumbled away from her face. Slowly all the rock went away, and she grasped his hand as they let their lips rest on one anothers.
"Aw isn't that sweet?" Alyssa said, leaning against Double D's shoulder. He nodded and smiled. All of a sudden, the night sky lit up, like the moon and stars were elated and dancing. The whiteness with a tint of blue glow shot down, past the wall and into the palace gardens. People that were still alive awed at the light. The beautiful light exploded onto something. "That must be our ride home!" Double D floated and took her hand. Almost effortlessly he lifted her into the air.
"Time to go home then!" Alex cheered.
"Oh noez! I gotta feed Nestor!" Ed worried, thinking of whatever he had living underneath his bed.
"...TIM!" Alex cried out, remembering the puppy. Ed picked her up and put her on his back. They shot into the air like a comet and straight through the brick and into the palace gardens. Alice pulled away from Eddy.
"Woah there lover boy." She smirked but with very pink cheeks. Eddy grinned slightly and scooped her up bridal style. "Eep!" He and Double D flew through the wall Ed and Alex went through. The slaves and servants that were now free thanked them and tried to slow them down but they were in too much of a rush to get home.
"There it is!" Double D yelled. The stone arch had a white and blue portal swirling, and it looked like something was coming through it. Ed and Alex zipped into the portal, the yellow flash being enveloped by the brighter whiter one. Something exploded from behind them, and a loud roar of fury. Over the stone wall came over a thousand large snakes with Delanie's horrible eyes. They bared their fangs and slithered after them with only avenging their mistress on their minds.
"God I hate snakes!" Eddy yelled. Alice nodded her agreement. She didn't want to mention how much she hated snakes. She had gotten bitten by a rattlesnake during a vacation over six years ago and had always hated snakes ever since. "Pick up the pace Double D! We've got company!" Double D and Alyssa looked back to see the snakes. The sockheaded nerd sweated nervously, but kept going now at a faster rate. "Lose some weight there Alice, you're slowing us down." Alice glared at him hard.
"Now isn't the time to be commenting on my weight moron. AGH!" She screamed at a flying snake coming right at them, hissing. Eddy turned and turned it into a ice cube. Now they were flying with their bodies facing the dark sky.
"See you on the other side guys!" Alyssa yelled just as Double D made it to the portal and it sucked them right in. Eddy and Alice screamed as a giant cobra erupted from the stone wall and started to shoot poison from its fangs. Eddy was almost there when another giant snake intervened their pathway. Its mouth was wide open and Alice and Eddy went right through its head. He was going so fast that they went straight through its skull. Now they were covered in snake juices. Alice gagged and screamed when she felt something soft and squishy in her hands. Quickly she threw it onto the ground. She covered her eyes fearfully and Eddy gripped her hard as he burst into what was close to light speed.
"Almost... there..." Eddy grunted, then he landed in the portal. More blinding flashes and the hiss of the snakes disappated.
Somewhere unknown
Alice opened her eyes and found themselves bathed in the warm and strangely comforting light of the portal. It was just as comforting as a bed or in front of a fireplace. Eddy powered down, exhausted from using so much energy. Slowly his eyes closed and his breathing relaxed. His tense body relaxed and he let go of Alice. She clutched him close as though if she let go they'd never see each other again as they floated through the portal. In one last flash, they were on the stony ground of Double D's garage. Alice looked up to see Ed leaning against the wall, sleeping. Alex was sprawled on the floor out cold and exhausted. Alyssa and Double D were holding hands still against the wall next to Ed, sound asleep and exhausted.
"...We're all alive... great..." Eddy mumbled through the achiness and exhaustion. She nodded and looked at the dimensional portal. The thing sparked one last time before closing.
"Yeah. We're all alive." Alice said. She let Eddy get comfortable in her lap before finally falling asleep herself.
And that's that! Hope you enjoyed this. But know that this story isn't done just yet. I have yet to write the epilouge! What will happen with Double D's portal? Will he win the science fair? How long has it been since they left? Is Tim okay? Find out in the next chapter!
