Final Fantasy Eds
Chapter 10
Amber's chocobos ran around franticly as the headhunters attacked them at their talons underneath. There were dozens of them, and they were more coming from all sides!
"HEY YOU ROTTEN BUGS!" Amber shouted out. She then started running towards the swam attack. "GET AWAY FROM MY CHOCOBOS!" She began to fight off the devilish bugs away from her golden chocobos, kicking and punching them. The Eds just stood where them were, not sure what to do!
"WHAT ARE YOU GUYS WAITING FOR!! AN INVITE!!?" Amber shouted at them, kicking an headhunter off poor scared Baby. More then started to come in. "COME ON! IF THEY GET TOO CLOSE TO THEM, THEY'LL EAT THEM ALIVE!!"
"EAT THEM?!" Double-D said nervosly.
"But if those things can eat something as big as those birds, they can eat us too!" Eddy said scared.
Ed stood there for a second before Amber's words really soaked in. ".........EAT THE CHICKENS!!!!!???"
Ed suddenly had a rush of bravery, and ran to Amber to help her. Eddy and Double-D were a bit taken back by that. Ed started to protect the "chickens" from the big bugs.
"Come on guys!" Ed called out. "Amber and the chickens need help!"
Ed's words sort of shook the fear out of the two remaning Eds, and they too headed for the battle.
Right off the start, two headhunters jumped on Eddy's back, but he immediately wipped them off. Double-D at lest tried to stomp on them and swat them away from the chocobos. Ed, on the other, was doing a REALLY good job. He was picking up two or three at a time, a throwing them a good ten feet away! But more just kept coming!
"Thier just not stopping!" Eddy said still fighting.
"That tears it!!" Amber yelled, pulling more attacking headhunters off her. She casted a Ice3 spell on them, and them immediately frozed up, and then shattered into a millon ice crystals. Two more then were coming from behind, but Amber heard them, spun around, and casted Fire3, and burned them to a blacken crisp.
"Jeez, Amber's on fire!" Eddy said in amazement.
"No Eddy, only the bugs are." Ed said.
"Shut up, Ed." Eddy said.
"AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! GET IT OFF!! GET IT OFF!!!" Double-D had a headhunter on his back! He couldn't get it off, because it was cligging to his long red cape.
"Double-D!" Eddy and Ed shouted out. Amber noticed too.
"Hang on Double-D!" Amber shouted, running to the scared to death boy. But just then, an another swam blocked her way and began to attack her. She now couldn't reach Double-D. Suddenly, to make things even worse, five more devilish bugs jumped on poor Double-D, tackling him to the ground. They now had him pinned!
"NO! Their all targeting Double-D!" Amber shouted. She tried to reach him, but the headhunters wouldn't let her!
"AMBER!! DO SOMETHING!!" Eddy yelled.
Just then, Ed started running towards thier fallen friend. "I'm coming Double-D!!" Like Amber, abunch of headhunters tried to stop him, but Ed just kicked and punched them out of the way, but it did not look like he was going to get there in time!
It all looked like a grim moment. Amber and Eddy couldn't reach Double-D, and Ed didn't looked like he was going to make it in time. But then, something snapped in the big Ed. The sudden surge of everything happening all at once was having an effect on him. He started to run even faster, grit his teeth, and narrowed his eyes.
"GET AWAY FROM DOUBLE-D RIGHT NOW!!!!" The suddenly changed Ed rosed his right arm high in the air, and a very familer glowing green ring appered under his running feet! Amber's and Eddy's jaw dropped.
"FIRE!!!" Just as he shouted those words, the attacking headhunters on Double-D combusted into flames, and fell to the ground, dead. And amazingly, the scared Double-D wasn't even touched by the fire spell. He just had some cuts on his face from defenting himself from the evil bugs. Then, because of Ed's sudden brust of power, the rest of the swam immediately high tailed it out of there.
After all that, the gang all tried to soak in want just happened. Amber, Eddy, and a still shocked Double-D, all turned and looked at Ed. Suddenly, the big Ed started to wobble, and had a dazed looked on his face. "Soups......on....." Ed said rather deliriously, before colapsing to the ground.
"ED!" Eddy shouted and ran up to him. When he got there, it looked like Ed was sleeping, with drool dripping out of his mouth. "Hey Ed! Snap out of it, will ya!" Eddy said, sightly shaking him.
"Don't worry Eddy, he'll be fine." Amber said, walking up to them, with Double-D following behind.
"Uh.....what just happened?" Double-D asked, at a tolal lose of words.
"Ed used magic, thats what happened." Amber said.
"But how?" Double-D said. "You were not able to get to that part yet."
Just then, Ed slowly started to come out of it. He sat up, rubbing his head, and looked around, and then at the gang. "Hey guys!" He said with a little wave.
"Ed! How do you do it?!" Eddy suddenly asked.
"Uhhhhhhh, do what?" He asked back.
"Magic, dummy!" Eddy said.
Ed looked at Eddy with a confused look. "Eddy, did you get hit on the head?"
Eddy grit his teeth and growled. "Do you have rocks in yours!?"
"I don't know, I never checked." The dim wit Ed reponsed.
Double-D then gave it a try. "Ed, don't you remember what you did?" He asked.
Ed put his finger on his lower lip and LOOKED like he was thinking. ".........No, the bell is broken guys."
Eddy slapped his forehead, and held back slapping Ed. Amber then came up, and began to explain once again.
"I know why Ed could do it." She began. "Ed was so determaned to help Double-D, that he was actually able to unlock the power of the materia that he used for that fire attack. But, he doesn't remember it because those who are just starting to use magic, MAY have a side effect to it. And one of those side effects is slight memory loss. And also, a suddenly loss of energy."
"But will he be alright?" Double-D asked.
"Yes, I told you that." Amber said. "The more you use materia, the less chances you get the after effects."
"Just now many rules are there to this magic thing!?" Eddy said.
Ed stared off into space. "I did a magic trick?....................COOL!!!"
"Well...." Double-D said. ".....want do we do now, Amber?"
But Amber didn't look like she was listening. She was looking at the landscape of the land they were on.
"What is it, Amber?" Ed asked.
The Eds then thought they heard a little "uh oh" from Amber. She turned around, and looked like she had a little blush of embrassment on his face. "Uh....I'm afraid we have a problem." She said with a little nervous laugh in her voice.
"Want do ya mean "problem"?" Eddy said.
Amber blushed even more. "Well....I guess when we were getting chased by WEAPON earlier, the chocobos took a wrong turn, and...we are no where NEAR the chocobo farm!"
Eddy looked shocked, and then he cleched his fist. "ARE YOU TELLING ME THAT WE'RE LOST!!??"
"Eddy, clam down!" Double-D said, staying cool and clam at the situation.
"Are we in trouble?" Ed asked with a little worried look.
"No, we're not LOST. I know where we are." Amber said. "It's just that...at our current location, the farm is about....." She started adding numbers in her head. ".....(..carring the two...)...About a good two or three hundred miles away."
"WHAT??!!" Eddy shouted.
"Oh dear, then what are we going to do?" Double-D asked.
"TAKE THE CHICKENS!!!" Ed suggested loudly.
"I don't know if that will work Ed. Look." Amber said pointing to the chocobos. They were all resting on the ground, and Baby was asleep between Champ and Goldy. "The chocobos are all wipped out after all they have been through today. They wouldn't make the trip back."
"Oh, thats just great!" Eddy said. "The one time the cho-cho whatevers can be useful, and their taking their naps!"
"Eddy, the chocobos have been a big help to us all day." Double-D said.
"Whatever." Eddy said with a scowl.
"Then may I make a suggestion?" Double-D asked Amber.
"Like what?" She said.
"Since we can't go anywhere right now, could you show Eddy and I now to cast magic, since we didn't have a chance to do it before?" He said.
"Well, there's really nothing to it." Amber said. "All you really have to do is what Ed did earlier;focus on the target hard, and then it well just "click". Ed was able to do it 'cuz it was a "forced refelx", he couldn't help it."
"I see." Double-D said.
"Hey guys, the sun is going down." Ed said pointing to the sky.
The whole gang looked up at the resting sun, it made the sky an beautiful orangish-red. Ed then turned and looked at the sky the opposite way, and saw that one part of it was all lit up red. It was the thing called "Meteor" that Amber talked about earlier. In the day time, you had to sqit your eyes to see it, but at night, it lit up the sky like a time frozen firework. The others then started to stare at it. Amber was more in to it then the boys, because unknown to them, Meteor was closer then before. Amber could tell as she really looked at it. She then wondered if she should tell them, but she was afraid that if she did, they would be too freaked or too scared to continue to trying to beat the game. She slowly lowered her hand, and started to think to herself.
'I can't think of what could happen if Meteor got too close. I HAVE to stay strong, for them, or we'll never get out of here alive!'
She then felt a light tapping on her shoulder. She spun around to see Ed staring at her with a confused look. "What is wrong Amber?" He asked.
"Yeah, it looked like you were in your own little world for a minute there." Eddy said with crossed arms.
"You would know what that's like, right Eddy?" Double-D said.
Eddy grited his teeth at him. "WATCH IT!"
Amber looked at them, and started to chuckle a little. "What!?" Eddy said turning and looking at her.
"It's nothing." Amber said. "Look, it really getting late. I know a small town thats near here that will take us in for the night, and if I remember right, they have a weapon shop there too! So what do you say we go there, get you guys some fine weapons, and rest of the night?"
"Weapons?" Double-D said nervously.
"Thats sounds great." Eddy said. "I'm am wipped out."
"But, what about the chickens?" Ed said in a bit of a sad tone.
The chocobos were now all fast asleep. Amber thought for a moment. "It wouldn't be nice to wake them." She walked over to the slumping big birds, and slowly put her hands together, and quietly wispered out, "Barrier!". The glowing ring appeared under her, and then suddenly, a light flashed around the still sleeping chocobos. The Eds all looked with a bit of confusion.
"Hey, what did you do?" Eddy asked.
"I put a magic barrier around them. That way, we can just leave them here, and we wouldn't have to worry about them untill tomorrow. They'll stay right there." Amber said.
"Thats so cool!" Ed said.
"So, we'll walk?" Double-D said.
"It's not a long walk to the town at all." Amber said. "Come on."
And so, they all headed out.
~ A short walk later, they all came to the foot of a forest.
"The town is just beyond these trees." Amber announced.
"Hey, what's this town called anyway?" Eddy asked.
"Mideel." Amber answered.
The gang entered the forest, and not too long after that, came to a walkway leading to an entrance to the town Amber talked about. Up ahead, the Eds could see a strange glow coming from the inside of the town. When they all got to it, the boys were taken back by what they saw. The town looked like it was hit by a typoon! But there were people living there, talking and working shops, like any other normal town! And to top all the weridness off, the strange glowing was coming from a huge "green" lake smak dab in the center of it all!
"On my, want happened here!?" Double-D asked.
"It looked like a bomb in these place." Eddy said.
"CHECK OUT THAT POOL!" Ed said, pointing that the glowing lake.
Amber looked a the big Ed. "Don't get any ideas Ed, it's not a pool."
"Is it a tub?" The dim wit Ed asked.
"No, it's not that nether." She said. "Thats not important right now. What is though, is going to the weapon shop, and getting you boys some weapons! Follow me, oh, and don't forget, use your character names."
The group all went into the very unusal town. All the town folk started to look and stare at them oddly. They then came to a bridge that was conneted to a small area of the town. When they got to the other side, they were greeted by two people. One looked like a docter, and the other was dress as a nurse.
"Tifa! Good to see you again!" The docter said, shaking Amber's hand. He then looked at the Eds. "And who might these young boys be?"
The Eds all thought for a quick moment before speaking.
"My name is Cloud, and don't you forget it!" Ed said, trying to sound convicing.
"My name is Vincent." Double-D said nice and clearly.
Eddy didn't said anything at first. "Vincent" elbowed him, and he flatly introduced himself.
"Cid."
"It's very nice to meet you all." The nurse said poiltely. "Welcome to Mideel. Want brings you here today Tifa?"
"Tifa" cleared her throut. "We were wondering if we could stay here for the night. We had a REALLY long day, and also, is the weapon keeper here today? My friends here need some good strong weapons."
Of course you can stay here!" The docter said. "We'll make up some beds for you all. And as for the weapon keeper, she's off in another town, but we'll still sell you some weapons."
"Oh man, thank you so much." Amber said.
"Come this way." The nurse said. Amber, Ed, and Eddy all followed her to a small stand that was only about ten feet away from them where the weapons were sold. Double-D however, stayed with the docter to asked him something.
"I was just wondering..." He began. "Want happened to this town anyway?"
"You don't know?" The docter asked. "I see, Tifa didn't tell you. Well, to make a long story short, Mideel was once a beautful town in the middle of the forest. We were prosperise, and lived our lives like any other small quiet little town. Thats is, untill "it" appeared."
"It"?" Double-D said.
"The terrifying monster known as WEAPON. It showed up one day, and tried to destroy our home. But, thats when a brave band of people showed up, and drived that demon away. We all thought we are saved. But then, the unthinkable happened. This town was build on top of a underground river that is conneted to the Lifestream. They said that when WEAPON suddenly appeared, it's very presants caused the Lifestream to kick up right under our feet, and thats what happened. The stream brusted out of the ground, and swallowed up Mideel. Thankfuly, all of us got out before it was too late. And we've been trying to rebuild our lives ever since."
"Thats terrable, but may I ask one thing? Wants a "Lifestream"?" Double-D asked.
"Why, that of course." The docter pointed to the glowing green lake. Double-D was still wondering what that thing was, but he knew that Amber knew. 'I'll asked her.' He thought to himself.
He thanked the docter for the story, and went over to the others. Ed and Eddy were looking at the weapon that they had, and Amber was talking to the nurse about buying some.
There were a wide rang of weapons to choose from. Fighting gloves, like the ones Amber used, swords, and even some things that you wouldn't think could be used for weapons.
"Thank you, and have a nice day." The nurse said.
"No, thank you!" Amber said back. "Hey guys! Come and get it!"
All the Eds came up to Amber, she held all thier weapons in her hand.
"This is for you..." She said, handing Ed his weapon.
"And for you...." Handing Eddy his.
"...And you." Handed Double-D his weapon.
The second Double-D was headed his however, he immediately yelp, and dropped it on the ground, and his face went all flussed. Eddy looked at him with a confushed looked. "Whats with you?" He asked. Double-D nervously pointed down at his weapon. It was a pistol.
"A GUN!!?" Eddy shouted out. "YOU GET A GUN!!?"
"I refuse to touch that thing!" Double-D said sheepishly, rubbing his hands on his chest. "Mother always told me to NEVER even go NEAR those things!!"
"You should feel lucky!" Eddy said. "You get a cool gun! Look what I got!" Eddy displayed his weapon. It was a long spear. "I get a stupid looking pointed stick!!"
"HEY GUYS! CHECK ME OUT!!!" Ed said loudly. The two boys turned and their faces went white at the sight of Ed's weapon, a sword! He was only about three feet away from them, swinging it around!
"I'm an mutant knight, just like in the movie, "The Return of Bedorf, the Alien King"!" Ed said happily.
"ED!! YOUR GOING TO HURT SOMEONE WITH THAT THING!!" Eddy shouted nervously. "NAMELY ME!!"
"ED, PLEASE! PUT THAT DOWN!!" Double-D shouted.
The big lump finally put the big sword down to the ground, and the other to Eds let out a big sigh of relef. They then looked at Amber, who was getting a kick out with Eds little antics.
"Thats NOT funny, "TIFA"!!!" Eddy shouted sarcasticly.
"Ed gets a sword?" Double-D said nervously. "Are you sure thats right, Amber?"
"You bet it is." She said. "The character called "Cloud" uses a sword like that. And "Cid" uses a spear, and finally, "Vincent" uses a gun."
"Do I HAVE to use this stupid STICK!?" Eddy asked.
"Do I HAVE to use a GUN?" Double -D asked abit creeped out.
"Do I get a fruit basket with this?" Ed asked. (Thats Ed! ^-^)
TO BE CONTINUED.............................

Chapter 10
Amber's chocobos ran around franticly as the headhunters attacked them at their talons underneath. There were dozens of them, and they were more coming from all sides!
"HEY YOU ROTTEN BUGS!" Amber shouted out. She then started running towards the swam attack. "GET AWAY FROM MY CHOCOBOS!" She began to fight off the devilish bugs away from her golden chocobos, kicking and punching them. The Eds just stood where them were, not sure what to do!
"WHAT ARE YOU GUYS WAITING FOR!! AN INVITE!!?" Amber shouted at them, kicking an headhunter off poor scared Baby. More then started to come in. "COME ON! IF THEY GET TOO CLOSE TO THEM, THEY'LL EAT THEM ALIVE!!"
"EAT THEM?!" Double-D said nervosly.
"But if those things can eat something as big as those birds, they can eat us too!" Eddy said scared.
Ed stood there for a second before Amber's words really soaked in. ".........EAT THE CHICKENS!!!!!???"
Ed suddenly had a rush of bravery, and ran to Amber to help her. Eddy and Double-D were a bit taken back by that. Ed started to protect the "chickens" from the big bugs.
"Come on guys!" Ed called out. "Amber and the chickens need help!"

"Jeez, Amber's on fire!" Eddy said in amazement.
"No Eddy, only the bugs are." Ed said.
"Shut up, Ed." Eddy said.
"AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! GET IT OFF!! GET IT OFF!!!" Double-D had a headhunter on his back! He couldn't get it off, because it was cligging to his long red cape.
"Double-D!" Eddy and Ed shouted out. Amber noticed too.
"Hang on Double-D!" Amber shouted, running to the scared to death boy. But just then, an another swam blocked her way and began to attack her. She now couldn't reach Double-D.

"FIRE!!!" Just as he shouted those words, the attacking headhunters on Double-D combusted into flames, and fell to the ground, dead. And amazingly, the scared Double-D wasn't even touched by the fire spell. He just had some cuts on his face from defenting himself from the evil bugs.

"WHAT??!!" Eddy shouted.
"Oh dear, then what are we going to do?" Double-D asked.
"TAKE THE CHICKENS!!!" Ed suggested loudly.
"I don't know if that will work Ed. Look." Amber said pointing to the chocobos. They were all resting on the ground, and Baby was asleep between Champ and Goldy. "The chocobos are all wipped out after all they have been through today. They wouldn't make the trip back."
"Oh, thats just great!" Eddy said. "The one time the cho-cho whatevers can be useful, and their taking their naps!"

"Tifa! Good to see you again!" The docter said, shaking Amber's hand. He then looked at the Eds. "And who might these young boys be?"
The Eds all thought for a quick moment before speaking.
"My name is Cloud, and don't you forget it!" Ed said, trying to sound convicing.
"My name is Vincent." Double-D said nice and clearly.
Eddy didn't said anything at first. "Vincent" elbowed him, and he flatly introduced himself.
"Cid."
"It's very nice to meet you all." The nurse said poiltely. "Welcome to Mideel. Want brings you here today Tifa?"
"Tifa" cleared her throut. "We were wondering if we could stay here for the night. We had a REALLY long day, and also, is the weapon keeper here today? My friends here need some good strong weapons."
Of course you can stay here!" The docter said. "We'll make up some beds for you all. And as for the weapon keeper, she's off in another town, but we'll still sell you some weapons."
"Oh man, thank you so much." Amber said.
"Come this way." The nurse said. Amber, Ed, and Eddy all followed her to a small stand that was only about ten feet away from them where the weapons were sold. Double-D however, stayed with the docter to asked him something.
"I was just wondering..." He began. "Want happened to this town anyway?"
"You don't know?" The docter asked. "I see, Tifa didn't tell you. Well, to make a long story short, Mideel was once a beautful town in the middle of the forest. We were prosperise, and lived our lives like any other small quiet little town. Thats is, untill "it" appeared."
"It"?" Double-D said.
"The terrifying monster known as WEAPON. It showed up one day, and tried to destroy our home. But, thats when a brave band of people showed up, and drived that demon away. We all thought we are saved. But then, the unthinkable happened. This town was build on top of a underground river that is conneted to the Lifestream. They said that when WEAPON suddenly appeared, it's very presants caused the Lifestream to kick up right under our feet, and thats what happened. The stream brusted out of the ground, and swallowed up Mideel. Thankfuly, all of us got out before it was too late. And we've been trying to rebuild our lives ever since."
"Thats terrable, but may I ask one thing? Wants a "Lifestream"?" Double-D asked.
"Why, that of course." The docter pointed to the glowing green lake. Double-D was still wondering what that thing was, but he knew that Amber knew. 'I'll asked her.' He thought to himself.
He thanked the docter for the story, and went over to the others. Ed and Eddy were looking at the weapon that they had, and Amber was talking to the nurse about buying some.
There were a wide rang of weapons to choose from. Fighting gloves, like the ones Amber used, swords, and even some things that you wouldn't think could be used for weapons.
"Thank you, and have a nice day." The nurse said.
"No, thank you!" Amber said back. "Hey guys! Come and get it!"
All the Eds came up to Amber, she held all thier weapons in her hand.
"This is for you..." She said, handing Ed his weapon.
"And for you...." Handing Eddy his.
"...And you." Handed Double-D his weapon.
The second Double-D was headed his however, he immediately yelp, and dropped it on the ground, and his face went all flussed. Eddy looked at him with a confushed looked. "Whats with you?" He asked. Double-D nervously pointed down at his weapon. It was a pistol.
"A GUN!!?" Eddy shouted out. "YOU GET A GUN!!?"
"I refuse to touch that thing!" Double-D said sheepishly, rubbing his hands on his chest. "Mother always told me to NEVER even go NEAR those things!!"
"You should feel lucky!" Eddy said. "You get a cool gun! Look what I got!" Eddy displayed his weapon. It was a long spear. "I get a stupid looking pointed stick!!"
"HEY GUYS! CHECK ME OUT!!!" Ed said loudly. The two boys turned and their faces went white at the sight of Ed's weapon, a sword! He was only about three feet away from them, swinging it around!
"I'm an mutant knight, just like in the movie, "The Return of Bedorf, the Alien King"!" Ed said happily.
"ED!! YOUR GOING TO HURT SOMEONE WITH THAT THING!!" Eddy shouted nervously. "NAMELY ME!!"
"ED, PLEASE! PUT THAT DOWN!!" Double-D shouted.
The big lump finally put the big sword down to the ground, and the other to Eds let out a big sigh of relef. They then looked at Amber, who was getting a kick out with Eds little antics.
"Thats NOT funny, "TIFA"!!!" Eddy shouted sarcasticly.
"Ed gets a sword?" Double-D said nervously. "Are you sure thats right, Amber?"
"You bet it is." She said. "The character called "Cloud" uses a sword like that. And "Cid" uses a spear, and finally, "Vincent" uses a gun."
"Do I HAVE to use this stupid STICK!?" Eddy asked.
"Do I HAVE to use a GUN?" Double -D asked abit creeped out.
"Do I get a fruit basket with this?" Ed asked. (Thats Ed! ^-^)
