That's it, I've done them all. Every single one of them and Ed still doesn't get the full point. Sheesh, now I have to keep writing, the worse possible thing in the entire world! (haha, bored sarcasm, who doesn't have it?)

All he could think now was that this was completely and utterly ridiculous.
Bedlam had sent in a spy bot about an hour ago to see how the fight was going. But what he saw wasn't Ed against Spyker; it was one of his own bots against another of his bots! This infuriated him.
"Cora!" Bedlam yelled. Cora popped up next to him. He pointed to the screen in front of him showing the two robots fighting while Ed lay on the side-lines. "Tell me why that Riot Bot is out there destroying Spyker."
Cora looked at the screen, and then shrugged. "I don't know, sir. Robots are normally in Crouch's area," She hid her smile. "Maybe you should ask him,"
"Hm… Good idea. Crouch!!"
The short, unstable robot came into the room then. He was rushing, but as soon as he saw Bedlam's angered face, he instantly wished he hadn't even heard him yell his name.
"Y-yes, Mr. Bedlum, sir?" Crouch mumbled.
Bedlam showed him the screen. "Why are both of my robots fighting each other? Why is that one"—pointing to Z3R0—"even out there?!"
Crouch frowned. It took him a second to remember, but soon it all came rushing back to him and his toaster popped (why is there always toast in there??).
"Oh… Mr. Bedlam, look! That Riot Bot is Zero. You know, the one Ed reprogrammed and helped him escape that one time? Ed must've found him again and turned him on, so the Riot Bot probably went after him," He stood there, feeling proud of himself…until he poked his eye open to see the shaking-with-rage Bedlam standing in front of him with only one target to center said rage.
Bedlam banged his fist on the top of Crouch's head, making the short robot dance around with stars flying around his head.
"How did he remember that exact robot?!" Bedlam fumed. Cora, who had been floating on the sidelines, enjoying seeing Crouch get his toaster handed to him, frowned instantly. She meant to leave, but Bedlam turned on her too quickly and she knew it was best on her part if she didn't try it now. "You did the operation! You said he couldn't remember anything!"
"Y-yes, sir. He can't remember anything at a-all. I d-don't know how he, uh, found Zero," Cora stuttered. "Maybe by luck?" It was a long shot guess and she knew it wouldn't work, but she had to say something.
What shocked her—and Crouch, who's head finally stopped spinning—was the fact that Bedlam was now laughing. They looked at each other, then back at him, both thinking he finally lost it.
"Mr. Bedlam, s-sir? What's so funny?" Crouch finally gained the courage to ask.
"Look." Bedlam pointed to the screen. Both robots were shaking madly. They would fall by their next hit—no matter how small or weak that hit would be. But that, of course, was not what caught any of their eyes.
It was Ed charging forward to deliver that hit to both of them!

The Dojo were completely shocked. Ed got up, ignoring his own pain, with a mixed look of joy, helplessness, and evil.
The red-eyed boy activated his slammer and held it out in front of him long-ways, charging towards the unknowing bots.
There was a loud slicing sound, like metal scraping metal, and everyone stopped in their tracks.
Ed spun around with that same smirk on his face that made even the Dojo members shudder. He slipped the slammer back into his belt and watched as both Z3R0 and Spyker fell to the ground—spilt half-way through their torsos.
Deactivated and defeated.
"Ha! Too easy!" Ed gloated and slowly made his way over to Z3R0's form. "Thanks for beating him down for me, Zero. But this chance was too good to pass up."
"Ed! Why…What did you do that for?!" Fizz asked as the boy walked past their crystallized sphere.
"Yeah, Zero was helping you!" Deets shouted. She never thought she could get this angry at Ed. None of them did. But they were and each of them wanted nothing better to do than to tell him out or beat some sense into his warped self.
"Pfft, who cares?" Ed scoffed.
"You and Zero were best friends," Burn argued.
"Yeah, likes pods in a pea," Loogie added.
Dr. Pinch looked at him. "Don't you mean 'peas in a pod'?"
"Not the way I eat them."
Ed ignored the green-eyed boy and his catfish puppet. Instead, he focused his attention to Burn and his last statement.
"We were friends."
Ed lifted up a larger piece of a shard of the orb. They were still shocked. Deets was the first to break their silence.
"So does this mean we're not still your friends?" she asked quietly.
Ed tossed the shard at the sphere and it tore into it. The crystallized sphere disintegrated like a hologram and the four inside dropped to the ground—free.
The warped boy looked them each directly in the eyes. "No." Before turning and walking away.
None of them had the strength to—or really wanted to at this point—go after him.
They all now knew that Ed was truly evil.
