In the belltower, Quasimodo, Madellaine, Eddy and Mike told the priest brother and gyspy relatives about what happened to them. Downstairs, Edd and Ed were playing hide-and-seek with Catalina and Simoun.
While everybody else was busy, a guard was informing Cardinal Louis, Bishop Myriel and Father Augustine of what happened in the forest. To their great shock and disappointment, they crossed themselves. The guard left after informing.
"Should we appoint Quasimodo and his friends to go retrieve the Holy Grail?" Cardinal Louis asked Father Augustine.
"I think so. There's nobody else to retrieve it."
"We can't wait one week for the Holy Grail to disappear. It might disappear again." Bishop Myriel added.
"But it will be found again. I'm sure of that." Cardinal Louis assured.
"I hope so." Father Augustine said.
In the belltower...
"What should you do now?" Gerard asked.
"No, Sir Gerard. You mean what should we do now." Father Roland corrected him.
"Huh. All of us should go to Rheims then."
"No. Quasimodo, Mike, Sockhead, Ed, Jacqeuline and I should go."
"But Jacqueline is young. She must stay here in Paris and stay with her father." Reynard protested.
"Yes, Eddy. Grandfather has his point. Madellaine can replace her." Quasimodo added.
"Ok, ok. Madellaine, you're with us. While Jacqueline is not with us."
"Brother, friends, is there anything we can do to help you?" Father Roland asked.
"There is, Father Rolad. We need some doe to go." Eddy replied.
"Eddy, that is not proper!" Mike told him.
"We do need money. Right?"
"You can have money, children. Money would not be a problem. I will give you three pouches each for your stay at Rheims." Father Roland assured.
"Thank you very much, Brother."
"You're welcome, dearest brother."
"When will you leave by the way?" Celestina asked.
"We will leave at night after we make plans." Quasimodo replied.
"Less talking, more planning." Eddy said.
"Eddy, wait for Edd and Ed." Mike told him.
"I'll get them. Wait here, guys."
Eddy left without another word or statement. He went down the stairs and into the cathedral. Siddenly, Simoun bumped into him. Causing both boys to fall to the ground.
"Hey! What gives kid?"
"Sorry, Eddy. I was playing with my sister, Ed and Double D."
"While I am going to tell my friends about something important."
"Is it about our fall?"
"No."
"Is it about your girlfriend?"
"No."
"Is it about your sandwhich?"
"No."
"Is it about your weird name, weird hair and weird appearance?"
"What?! No! Just cut it out, Simoun."
"Alright."
"Hey, Eddy. Do you wanna play with Ed and the twins?"
"No. There is something important I need to tell you and Sockhead."
"Is it about your boogers?"
"No."
"Is it about you stealing something?"
"No. But, it is about Jehan."
"Did he got pooed by a donkey?" Simoun chuckled at what Ed said.
"No. We are going to make plans for Rheims!"
"Oohh."
"Where's Sockhead by the way?"
"He's hiding. As well as Catalina."
"Where is he hiding?"
"We're playing hide-and-seek. Remember? I think you should ask a frog. A frog definitely knows where is Sockhead."
"And my sister."
"Why a frog?"
"Frogs can talk. Right?"
"No. They don't talk. We should ask a priest or someone else."
"Okey dokey."
Eddy went to convent. Ed and Simoun followed him inside. He entered the Archdeacon's room and saw Edd talking with the Archdeacon, the Cardinal and Bishop.
"Hey yo, Sockhead, we're gonna make plans for Rheims."
"Plans?"
"Yeah. Let's go to the belltower."
"Ok."
"Ed, Edd, Eddy, please remember to come here before you go to Rheims."
"Okey dokey, Father." Ed replied.
With that, the three Eds and Simoun left to the belltower. Unexpectedly, Catalina was there. She was helping in formulating plans with Quasimodo, Madellaine and Mike.
"Guys, we have a plan now." Mike told them.
"What's the plan, Mike?" Eddy asked.
"We go to Rheims tonight. Ed, Double D, you will go together and look for Jehan and his allies in the south side of Rheims."
"What direction is the south side?" Ed asked.
"The bottom part of Rheims."
The three Eds controlled their laughs at what Mike said.
"What's so funny?"
"Should we look for butts or what?" Edd really let out his laughs with the other Eds.
"Not the good time for jokes, guys."
"I am so super sorry, Mike." Eddy said.
"Very Sorry." Edd said.
"Ed is very sorry." Ed said.
"It's ok, guys."
"By the way, Mike, in which part Quasimodo and Madellaine will look in?" Eddy asked.
"While Quasimodo and Madellaine will look in the north side of Rheims."
"What direction is the north side?" Ed asked.
"The top part of Rheims."
"Okey dokey." Ed replied.
"Eddy, you and I will look for Jehan and his men in the east side of Rheims. Which is the right part of Rheims."
"Got it."
"When we are done, we will be united and look for Jehan and his men in the west side of Rheims."
"Ok. And we must also go to the Archdeacon's room before we go to Rheims."
"Why?"
"I don't know."
"Maybe he is going to give you blessings beofre you go." Father Roland explained.
"Yes. Your task is very dangerous. That's why God should protect you." Reynard added.
Many hours passed and night came to fill the sky. For the whole day, everybody did their duties. At sundown, Quasimodo's aunt, uncles, grandfater and cousins went home to the Court of Miracles.
Like what they were instructed to do before leaving, they went on their way to the Archdeacon's room. But, Bishop Myriel and Father Roland were in the doorway of the convent.
"Brother, friends, we were instructed by Father Augustine to give you blessings before you go."
Quasimodo and Madellaine knelt before them. Out of curiosity, the three Eds and Mike did the same actions as them. Bishop Myriel initiated the rites and blessings. While Father Roland read to them some Biblical passages.
After the blessings, Father Roland gave each of them three puches of gold and silver coins. They thanked him then left for Rheims.
In Rheims...
By this time, Jehan and his basketball or criminal team are sleeping in a house that can shelter twelve people complete with a small balcony at the back. And this house can be found at the eastern side of Rheims.
Luckily, the Holy Grail is still with Jehan. He kept it under his bed, obviously.
In the gates of Paris...
Ed, Edd, Eddy, Mike, Quasimodo and Madellaine arrived at the stone walls of the gates of Paris. Again, Quasimodo had to carry Madellaine and jump over the stoned wall. Ed did the same with Edd, Eddy and Mike. Upon landing on the other side, they went on to travel to Rheims.
While walking, they were talking in whispers to avoid boredom and potential danger.
Much, much later. The three Eds, Mike, Quasimodo and Madellaine arrived at the gates of Rheims. They were granted entrance by the guards. (A/N I know you're wondering what happened to the guards who were supposed to be there when Jehan and Fleur arrived. The guards were nowhere to be mentioned. To answer your question, they were busy catching a criminal and clumsily left their post five minutes before Richard, Margaretta, Jehan and Fleur arrived. After Remus and Aloysius arrived with Richard and Margaretta, the guards returned to their post and granted entrance to them.)
Once everybody were in walking away from the gates, they were amazed to see how busy Rheims is.
"Ok, guys. This is it. We're going to get the Holy Grail back." Quasimodo said.
"Yeah. Ed loves adventures in France!"
"Of course ya do." Eddy said in an almost sarcastic way.
"Let's go." Mike said.
Each of them bade farewell and left in search of the Holy Grail.
A/N A few chapters to go and on to my next fanfic. My next fanfic will be a Fresme one. It is also going to be multi chaptered. I should not spoil more.
