Super Smash Eds Chapter 26: The Divided
This was meant to be posted earlier, but I couldn't because my miniscule attention span was getting in the way, I hope this doesn't continue
In an area that seemed like the Arctic,Eddy, Red, Blue, Sarah, Jimmy, Kevin, Jonathan, and Lunetie trudged through the white slush that was forming around their feet
"M-m-man, it's s-s-so c-c-cold" Eddy complained, he slapped himself in the forehead once he remembered his pyrokinesis, he generated a small fire in his hand and warmed himself up
"Hey Fathead!, How about sharing some of that heat?" Sarah yelled
"S-s-speak for yourself S-S-Sarah, Th-th-that suit seems insulated" Jonathan said wrapping his arms around himself to conserve heat
Jimmy, the sneaky con that he is, Slowly snuck up behind Eddy, tapped him on one shoulder and when Eddy turned around, Jimmy absorbed the fire and gained his fire ability "Ahh, Toasty" He said, he increased the size of the flame so it would warm the whole team
"Sneaky little fink" Eddy mumbled, Turning around again, Eddy noticed that the team was short a member "Hey...Has anyone seen Lumpy?"
"By "Lumpy", Do you mean Ed?" Lunetie asked, not used to Eddy's nickname for the gentle giant, as if on cue, something giant broke the surface of the water and sent a massive volume towards the group, as they looked up to see the cause of the wave, and they saw a familiar yellow clad Ed riding a Narwhal
"I am Ed!, Ruler of the Sea Unicorns!" Ed yelled, and as the Narwhal crashed back into the sea, Ed hopped off and climbed onto the ice and dried off like a dog, further soaking his friends
"Ed!, You dolt!" Eddy yelled "You put out the fire!" Eddy wrapped his arms around Ed's throat and proceeded to shake him around
"Eddy!" Lunetie yelled smacking Eddy on the back of his head "If you're going to kill Ed, can you at least wait until we find civilization?"
"Oh yeah?" Eddy asked, displaying his usual short fuse "Then where is this 'Civilization'?"
"Right over there" Red said pointing at what seemed like a giant village
"Huh, What do you know?" Eddy said, releasing his vice grip on Ed's neck and making his way towards the village
Once they reached the village entrance, they were met by a group of men in wool coats pointing spears at their faces
"Well, what a welcoming committee" Blue said sarcastically
"Be you friend or foe?" one of the soldiers asked
"Depends" Eddy said "Do you guys have any grub around here?" His question was answered when one of the soldiers hit him in the stomach with the butt of his spear
"Are you servants of the Mutants of the Seventh Circle of Hades?" Ed asked, Everyone seemed taken aback by that comment
"...We shall take you to our chief" One of the soldiers said, still confused by Eds comment
The Team was taken to a building that had many red flags adorning it, looking off in to the distance, Lunetie saw a building that was a carbon copy of the one they were being led to, except it was adorned with Blue flags instead of Red ones
"Excuse me" She asked "What is that building over there?"
"That" the lead soldier said "Is where the chief of our rivals lives"
Still staring at the Building, Lunetie didn't notice when everyone else entered the building and left her behind "Wait for me!" she shouted running through the door
The group was lead to a big dining room, and to Eddy's delight, there was a magnificent spread of food on the table
"Holy crap..." Eddy said, astounded by the delicious food laid out before him
"Welcome" A voice said from on top of the stairs, they looked up and saw a man dressed in many fine furs "Please, Help yourselves to any of the food here"
"You don't have to tell me twice!" Eddy said diving straight for the food
"You may sample our tribes delicacies, from Seal steak to Narwhal fricassee" The Chief said, coming down from upstairs and seating himself at the table
"Eddy, What's a Narwhal?, It's not like the Sea Unicorns is it?, cause they were my friends" Ed asked
"Um...of course not Ed, Narwhal's are...Rabbits with deer antlers...yeah" Eddy said, hiding the Narwhal horn which he was using as a fork
*After the feast *
The Chief wiped his mouth with a napkin, and his expression darkened "There is a reason we have called you in here, we know of your exploits, and we request your assistance" He said
"Oh yeah, and what do you need?" Eddy asked, after which he released a loud belch
"You see, this land wasn't always this tundra" The chief said, remembering old times "This land used to be lush, verdant fields as far as the eye could see, life was good, until..."
"Until what?" Jonathan asked
"Until the others angered the Lady in the Flame" The chief said
"The Lady in the Flame?" Blue parroted "Who's that?"
"She is the goddess of the sun in these lands, and once the others, who are now ostracized from our village, started to abuse her gifts, using her soothing warmth and her nurturing glow as weapons, she took away the sun, and left us with this bitter cold" The Chief stated
"And just what do you think we can do about it?" Eddy asked, picking his teeth with the Narwhal horn
"We believe you are the Envoy of The Sun" The chief said pointing at Eddy
"What!" Eddy shouted in disbelief "What makes you think I'm this "Envelope of the Sun"?"
"Um...Envoy, not Envelope" Lunetie corrected him
"Oh, Whatever!" Eddy retorted "What makes you think it's me?"
"We saw you outside the village, when you were trying to warm yourselves up, you created a flame" the chief brought up
"Well, I don't know if you've got the right guy, but I guess I'll help you guys" Eddy said "But what's in it for me?"
"Surely he doesn't believe a small sum of coins is worth more than saving all of our lives?" The chief questioned
"If you knew him as long as I have, He'd do anything, even for a quarter" Kevin said
"Shut your trap, Shovel-Chin!" Eddy yelled, flicking a small flare at Kevin
"Well, if you do succeed in bringing the sun back to our world, we could perhaps give you some sort of payment" The chief said
"I guess I'll do it, but that payment better have at least 2 zeros in it!" Eddy said to the chief
"Marvelous!" The Chief said "Now, I shall show you to your rooms", he led them upstairs and showed them several rooms with two beds in each "Women sleep on the right side, Men on the left"
"Alright, Makes sense" Red said as he opened one door and laid down on one bed "Aw man, this bed is so cushy!"
Red and Blue shared one room, Ed and Eddy in another, Kevin and Jonathan in the last
Jimmy walked towards one of the rooms, and he was stopped by the chief
"I'm sorry, young lady, these are the dormitory's for the men" The chief said, producing several chuckles from Ed, Eddy, Red and Blue, Who were quickly silenced by poison glances from Lunetie and Sarah
"B-But, I'm a boy" Jimmy said, dejected
"Oh, I'm sorry, my mistake" The Chief said, and Jimmy ended up sharing a room with Ed and Eddy
*In the Morning *
The Team was preparing for breakfast, After which, They met the Chief outside the building
"If you are to restore the warmth of the sun to our lands, you should head to the Sun Altar to the North of the village and Speak with the Lady in The Flame, if you can convince her to bring back the warmth, you shall receive the reward you so gravely desire" The Chief said
The team set off towards the Sun Altar and about halfway there, the were stopped when they heard a voice
"Where do you think you're going, Pipsqueak?" The voice said
"That voice, could it be?" Eddy said "Could it be?" He turned around and saw that the source of the voice was...
