Hey guys new chapter- sorry my school has gotten really busy lately and I am having trouble keeping up so there may be larger breaks between each chapter. Don't worry though, I'll keep working hard!
Kevin had nodded while Edd explained his plan in hushed whispers but in reality he had a lot of questions. He thought the plan would be simple- just a bit of ingenuity from the fish head, simple, easy to understand words… But Edd had just started spewing mathematic equations and scientific formulas and Kevin became completely lost at what was going on. Something about point of pressure? Luckily for him, though, after going over the whole plan Edd explained exactly what it was Kevin had to do in much simpler words.
"So to break out of the cell you have to hit the glass side as hard as you can but hit the smallest area possible. Also I will tell you what point of the glass you should hit as that will be the most fragile point. Hopefully the glass should break and while it may not make a big enough hole for us to escape from it will be the beginnings of one and you will be able to make it larger easily. Then we have to somehow find our way out of this place… Before we can do this though I have some extra things to prepare… We will probably be ready to commence our plan tonight. Until then just preserve your strength… Maybe do some warm ups in the evening."
Kevin grinned, "Sure thing, Double D!"
Edd returned his smile before standing up to walk around the cell in deep thought, occasionally bringing one hand up to touch the cell walls. Kevin stayed seated, leaning back against the wall and wondering what he would do once they were free.
I guess Edd and I will have to say good bye to each other, huh? That's pretty lame… I was just getting used to the guy… I could always offer a spot on the eiyuutekis- he's super smart we'd be lucky to have him he'd just need to leave the other two Eds… Yeah, but he'd never do that, would he? He already told me how much they mean to him…
Kevin sighed, his smile disappearing, Edd turned to him and cocked his head to one side, "Is everything alright, Kevin?"
"Yeah, I just- I, Uh, don't worry…"
"Kevin, you should tell me if there's a flaw in my plan…"
"What? Wai- no it's not your plan. I just was thinking about when we get out of here we probably won't see each other again except on opposite sides of the battle ground…"
Edd looked thoughtful for a moment, "We could always meet up in our spare time…"
Kevin raised an eyebrow at him, "Aren't you supposed to be a genius? That would never work- you're the villain, I'm the good guy- I'm meant to try and arrest you, get rid of you, I'm meant to hate you!"
Edd shrugged, "Oh well, then… I guess it's for the best… We can't exactly just stay here."
Kevin sighed again and Edd laughed softly, "I'm sure you'll be fine, Kevin. Even without me."
"Well, I have lived my whole life so far without you, so of course I will- it's a question of whether I want to or not." Kevin replied smirking.
"Oh, so our hero finally has to sacrifice something he wants, hey?" Edd mocked.
"Hey, what's that supposed to mean; I've had to sacrifice a whole bunch, you know, being a hero isn't as easy and fun as it seems."
"Believe it or not neither is 'being the bad guy.'" Edd replied, still grinning at Kevin.
Kevin looked at him and frowned, "I actually can believe that."
The alarms rang through the air, giving Edd a head ache. Kevin had, surprisingly easily, broken through the cells glass wall but as soon as he had a high pitched wailing had started up, no doubt alerting their captor what had happened. Before Edd could even grasp the situation, though, Kevin was picking him up in his arms as he ram through the rest of the glass, flying through to the other side. He ran to the door smashing that open as well, all the while holding Edd in one arm as he ran down the hallway. It seemed, despite Edd's intelligence when it came to making quick decisions Kevin was better off. Edd decided Kevin must play a lot of video games.
Kevin continued to run down the hall until he came to an open which he ran through, closing the door behind him and setting Edd down.
"You OK?" he asked, cocking his head to the side.
"Mm. Fine." Edd mumbled in reply, turning to look through the room they were in.
It was practically spotless, plain furniture with nothing decorating them and nothing placed on any of the surfaces. Except one thing. On a chest of drawers sat a broken picture frame and, when Edd lifted it up, among the shards of glass was the photo it used to hold. He picked it up to get a closer look and saw it was a photo of their captor as a younger teenager next to an even younger boy.
Kevin stood behind him trying to look over his shoulder, "Hey what's that?"
"K-Kevin… I think I may have worked out who our captor is…"
"What? Who? And how?" Kevin cried in a harsh whisper.
"I thought he looked familiar and now I suppose it must be because of family resemblance… It appears he's actually Eddy's brother."
"What? So that dork was the one behind it all along?" Kevin grabbed the photo from Edd looking over it.
"No! No, I cannot believe that. Eddy hasn't even spoken to his brother in years. Though he does have a brother complex… I believe that came from always being mocked and hurt by his brother- if you look at that photo you can see even in front of the camera he is belittling Eddy. Even so I have no clue why he has locked us up… He did seem to only be after you- I was just an extra catch and Eddy hates you too so I have no idea why he would-"
"It's because he probably is working with Eddy anyway!" Kevin stated.
Edd shook his head, "No, I don't think so at all. Maybe he also wanted to try a jawbreaker… Or maybe he thought Eddy would get the blame for kidnapping you and therefore have him searched for even more… I don't know… It's impossible to work out what such a crazy man could be thinking…"
"Crazy? Hey, I take offense to that." A voice murmured from the shadows and Edd shrieked as he was dragged away by Kevin again, Eddy's brother in hot pursuit.
Kevin looked down at Edd as he ran, "So what's the plan?"
Edd looked up, grinned sheepishly and shrugged, "basically just get out of here alive…"
"Yeah great idea, genius but execution is most important, don't you think? So we need to work out how exactly we're meant to do that."
Edd thought for a moment before saying, "Put me down at the next intersection and we'll split up, that's all you need to know for now."
"You sure that's a good idea?"
"Yes. Don't worry I won't leave this place without you." Edd said as they neared the next cross-intersection in the halls. Kevin dropped Edd who ran to the left without missing a beat as Kevin continued to go forward. Eddy's brother continued to chase Kevin.
Edd sprinted down the hall as fast as he could carry himself, he felt his breath coming in gasps as he continued to run and his fish head was heavy on his shoulders. Still, he refused to remove it. He had no idea if he was going the right way, at each turn he just went by his gut feeling and intuition until he finally reached what he thought to be the right door. He opened it and stepped inside.
"Jack pot." He murmured looking around at the belongings Kevin and he had had taken off of him when they were first brought here.
He grabbed and stored as many as he could before leaving the room. This time as he went through the halls he did so at a much slower pace, lurking in the shadows and keeping an eye out for anything wrong. He was happy to find that the next room he was searching for was not only in the same stretch of the hall as the room he had just exited but labelled as well. Oh, how I love labels! He thought to himself turning the door knob.
The security room was just how he had hoped it would be, filled with TVs showing different parts of the mansion he was currently stuck in. He saw Kevin run across one of the screens, still followed by Eddy's brother and smiled, glad he had not been captured. There was a blue print on the table of the mansion and Eddy looked through it, carefully memorising it. When he was done he looked back at the screens, Kevin was running nearby Edd just had to get to him. He ran out and towards where Kevin was running about, as soon as he spotted Edd Kevin ran to him grabbed him and soared up into the air. Edd looked at him in shock, he'd forgotten of Kevin's ability of flight. That would have been helpful earlier he thought before speaking to Kevin.
"Kevin I know where the exit is, you continue flying and I will direct you, alright?"
"Good work, Genius, looks like we'll actually be able to escape this hell hole."
looks like you now know who their captor is! hope you enjoyed
