Time for more this story!
(Seriously, can you guys please help me out here and give me some advice or really anything. Heck, i'd take an insult at this point just to see if anyone is actually reading this story.)
Aaron woke up the next morning, he looked at the cards near the book. They were still blank for some odd reason, he sighed as he walked outside with the cards and book in hand. He saw the Ed's walking over, having a conversation. After they arrived, Aaron held up the cards.
"Guys, i found something strange." Aaron said
"...Cards?" Eddy said
"Let me explain how i got them, you see i was thinking about the book last night and before i went to sleep. I put some gentle pressure on the gem on the book, some sort of circle appeared on it and it opened up. The cards came out, beam of light, sparkles of light, weird mystical stuff." Aaron said
"That's certainly... strange." Double D said
"Exactly, i grabbed the cards. Look at the back of this card." Aaron said, handing Double D one of the cards
Double D looked over the back of the card, he then looked at Aaron.
"Not anything i've seen before." Double D said
"Now turn it over." Aaron said
Double D turned it over and then looked at it surprised.
"...It's blank?" Eddy said
"Weird right?" Aaron said
"...Interesting, these cards seem important and yet they are... blank." Double D said
"Maybe it might be activated by something else?" Ed said
The three smarter people of the group looked at Ed surprised, Aaron looked at the cards.
"That makes a lot of since." Aaron said while Double D handed him the card back
Aaron looked at the cards still confused.
"What could these cards do? I mean... there wasn't mention of cards except that there were cards of each clan member's family." Aaron said
"Wasn't that mentioned barely in that entire book?" Eddy said
"Remember Eddy, there are blank pages to the book. They might hold information to our little mystery." Double D said
"Swiggity swag. What's in the bag?" Ed asked
"Rather a book in this case." Aaron said idly
Aaron then opened the book and looked through the pages, he then looked at the page where the most recent riddle came from. His eyes widened.
"Looks like we've got something." Aaron said as the Ed's peered over his shoulder to look at the page
There was more information, this time on the cards. Aaron read over the words silently.
"Hmm, it says that the cards hold the ability to retain magical properties of the families. Only the blood of the families can activate the cards abilities and... return their magic?" Aaron said confused
"That's weird, where would we even find them?" Eddy asked
Aaron shrugged, he sighed yet again.
"We've got two steps forward and yet one step back." Aaron said
"At least we still made progress." Double D said
Aaron simply nodded as he closed the book.
"Well in the meantime, i'd say we should probably just do a scam or something." Aaron said
"Hmmm, how about we do some sort of bake sale?" Eddy said
"Good idea Eddy, i know how to measure ingredients and Aaron knows how to bake." Double D said
"It all works out." Ed said
And so the four parted ways, to make a bake sale to make money.
Later
Aaron set up a stand with the Ed's, a bunch of various baked items nearby.
"And we're open for business." Aaron said after he set down a jar
The usual neighborhood kids came over and saw the bake sale.
"Alright come one and come all, enjoy a delicious treat. Baked by me... i hope you like them." Aaron said
The kids bought various baked items, the jar was filled up by the end of the event.
"Well, i guess we've got enough money for jawbreakers... again." Aaron said spinning the jar like he did last time
"Honesty, the last time something this happened was a couple of months ago." Eddy said looking at the jar
"After that, nothing, it's like we seem to fail at every moment." Double D said
"Well luck is a bit of a hard mistress to understand, she'll buck hard if you're not careful." Aaron said with a bored look
"BUTTERED TOAST!" Ed said randomly
Aaron just chuckled at Ed's humor and got up with the jar.
"Guess we should start spending it." Aaron said walking with the jar
Aaron then bumped into something or someone, he rubbed his head a little and looked at the person or thing to apologize for bumping into them (don't tell me you've accidentally apologized to an object before).
"Oh sorry." Aaron said
"Not a problem." A familiar voice said
Aaron then looked up to see Lee Kanker along with the other kankers.
"Hey Lee... man it's been like a month since i've last seen you. That was when you tried to have a vacation on my lawn... i mean, while i did allow it. I did kind of had to send you away after you messed with my stuff among other things." Aaron said, a small glare in tow
"Oh don't give me that look, you know the Kanker way." Marie said
"I told you i still don't get that, seriously, what even is that?" Aaron asked still a bit angry at the event
"Wait that happened?" Eddy asked
"A lot of things can happen off screen." Aaron said simply
Aaron sighed as he looked at the Kankers with a bridged nose.
"Anyways, why are you guys here?" Aaron asked
May then took the jar away, Aaron then deadpanned.
"Oh... your gonna do that again?" Aaron said
Aaron then grabbed the jar saying 'yoink' and then ran away. Lee growled in anger as did the other two.
"You may be cute but that doesn't mean i'm not gonna beat the stuffing out of you!" May said
"Wouldn't be the first time!" Aaron said as he ran over to the Ed's
"...What does that mean?" Double D asked
Aaron then grabbed Ed, Double D, and Eddy as he ran past them.
"No time to explain, we've gotta move it!" Aaron said continuing to run
The Kankers began to chase after them, Aaron running franitcally with the Ed's running beside him.
"Why does this always happen when we get money?!" Eddy asked
"I mean, this didn't happen the last time i gave out baked goods here. So technically, this is the first time this has happened when we were successful with a bake sale along with the fact they've stolen money from scams that actually worked resulting in a sort of dislike towards them built up from a sensical approach." Aaron said
"...In English?" Eddy asked
"They are jerks is what i'm saying from stealing from us more than once." Aaron said
"Oh, well let's get going!" Eddy said hoping on to Ed's back
Aaron sighed as he jumped over a nearby fence, running towards his garage as he saw Lee Kanker behind him. Aaron got in and then rode out on his bike, Lee looked on in shock as Aaron took his finger and slid down his eyelid while sticking out his togue. Lee got red in the face at this and chased after Aaron, he later caught up with the Ed's while riding.
"Hey guys." Aaron said
"When did you have that?" Eddy asked
"For a while now, i'd say hope on but there isn't enough room. Sorry." Aaron said as he rode away
The Ed's continued to run as Aaron rode away.
Four hours of chasing later
Aaron sighed as he finally got back into his garage, the Kankers were relentless in getting that money but Aaron managed to get away from them. The Ed's weren't as lucky as five minutes after they were caught, they had the usual mark of the Kankers 'making out' with them. He put the jar in a safe place until tomorrow since they could just buy something later. Aaron got into the shower and took a nice refreshing shower, he got into his pajama's and fell asleep in his bed.
Meanwhile
The cloaked man was in Oregon, he sighed as he looked at the crystal. It was beeping very quickly but there was no indication he was here, he sighed as he left the state of Oregon.
"Geez, how long is this gonna take? It's already taken more than a millennia, i don't want it to take any longer." The man said
He continued to walk into to his next destination.
Seems he's getting closer to where Aaron is, that might be good or bad depending on what you think.
I'll see you guys in the Fandom.
