The Double Dee copies helped me up and were able to keep me standing as we slowly walked towards where the others were. Rolf felt better after his call and Nazz was sharpening her weapons as she walked. Just walking made me think of Emmy back in reality….she must be so lonely and trying to reach me but I'm not there…

Eddy: How long do we have now?

I asked one of the copies.

Both: We only have four and a half hours left, time is slowing to what you are used to….

Eddy: Good…

Rolf: Do you think you are ready for fight greedy Ed boy?

Eddy: Ready for something other than sitting and doing jack shit.

Nazz: I'm going after Marie, she needs help the most…

Eddy: She's on an equal plane as Double Dee and the kid.

Rolf: And by that you mean…?

Eddy: She's stuck in her own delusions, Double Dee is like that and I can already tell he's a prize worth fighting for.

Nazz: Meaning?!

Eddy: James is using him and the kid as collateral! Geez! Why is it that I have to spell everything out for people?

Rolf: Ok, smart Ed-boy copies!

Rolf yells at the two copies of my best friend looked at him with a strong gaze.

Copies: Yes, Sir Rolf?

Rolf: One of you could carry Eddy and the other carry me and Nazz to others where James is no?

Copies: Yes we can, Sir Rolf.

Eddy: Good, could one of you please grab my things and make sure my gun and sunglasses are in there?

Nazz: Uhhh...about that…

What the fuck does that mean?! I never want to hear those words from anybody, whether it's a lackey, my friends, a doctor or at any place here my possessions are involved.

Nazz: I found them in your bag and I guess the blast from the sun bomb like melted them dude. Sorry.

I sighed at the loss of my favorite gun and shades that given to me as presents...well they're in a better place now.

Eddy: Whatever, let's just get going.

The copies did their things and turned into dragons and flew us to the tower. I could see at the top that the fight has already started. I felt adrenaline rushing through me and I lifted myself up on the dragon. What caught my eye down there was Kevin taking on James and Ed actually using his bazooka on the demons and….thousands of Double Dee's? My brother has an opheliac with my best friend and I can't do anything about it.

Rolf: Fight seems intense, Eddy!

I looked over and and caught a gun that he thrown at me. I looked at it and noticed the transparency.

Eddy: Is this a...mystical gun or some shit?

Rolf: Rolf doesn't carry real guns, these do more damage than bullets.

Eddy: Bullets ensure death!

Rolf: These ensure a demon's' death!

…..Damn he has a point, but still this is a ghost gun and it's weird. I took aim and nailed a demon in the neck that was attacking Jimmy. He looked confused till he heard Ed screaming like an idiot, he looked up and saw us and started cheering himself.

Jimmy: They're back!

Ed: HI EDDY!

Sarah: Behind you Ed!

He turned with his bazooka on his shoulder and knocked out a demon.

Ed: There's nothing behind me Sarah!

Sarah: Never mind Ed.

Ed: You're funny baby sister!

Same old mono-brow. Shaking my head I told the Double Dee dragon to circle the place so we could get and aerial advantage. Fighting these things were too easy and yet very annoying. They were darting every which way to avoid this badass gun with infinite bullets and at this point I wanted to just jump down and bash 'em in the heads with the butt of the gun but my body would fail and I would probably die. Looking over the battle field I saw a semi glowing sphere with two people inside; Jim and Double Dee. I felt everything stop.

My head...I just...I remember yelling at James and then being tossed like a child's play thing towards Jim and...! My eyes shot open and my body bolted right up.

Jim: DAD!

I felt Jim pounce on me in an embrace. I hugged him back, I was so happy to have him in my arms again. I fely his tiny body shake in my arms as I soothed him. He pulled away and looked up at me with his big green eyes and his bright smile, that always made me happy. I looked above and all around us to see that we were floating in a bubble of some sort...I wonder what components it's comprised of.

Edd: How did I end up here?

Jim: James threw you in here so that dad and everybody else has to fight for the both of s as a prize.

Prize...? That's right! I completely forgot about that whole predicament, I think I hit my head harder than I thought, which only drives the question; what is this thing really made out of?!

Jim: DAD!

I turn to my son who was glaring at me with his arms crossed over his chest. Jim knows me like the back of his hands so he knew what I was thinking.

Edd: Sorry son. Alright, have you tried anything to get out of here?

Jim: I tried brute force but that doesn't work.

Edd: Hmmmm...What about the disrupter I installed in you neck?

He shook his head giving me my answer. Damn, why aren't any of these things working? I looked around and then down at the fight. My eyes went straight to Kevin who, predictably enough, was fighting James. They were both formidable foes and giving the other hard times but in the end one will lose, I hope to God that it won't be Kevin.

Edd: We need to help your father take down James, but we have to-!

I jump at the sound of something hitting the top of the bubble. I look up and saw a dent that wasn't there before. Something hit it again but I couldn't make out what it was, and now the dent started to crack.

Jim: Uncle Eddy?!

I looked up and saw...what the hell was I looking at? I rubbed my eyes thinking that I was hallucinating but I surely wasn't. My best friend since childhood was Riding a dragon and shooting at us with a bight blue, smokey gun. What happened to his gold plated gun I made for him?

Edd: He's trying to crack the bubble, hold on to me Jim.

He grabbed my legs and buried his head bracing for impact. I remember the chip I installed in my neck and installed some other features without telling Kevin or the others. Well, I told Ed but he soon forgot after walking into my office wall. I has programmed my body to go into defense mode whenever a rush of adrenaline made my heart rate pass over one hundred and fifty. There was a lot of things to get my heart pumping and my current situation wasn't going to stimulate me at all. I recalled all the stupid things that everybody has done and all the times I snapped at people for the dumbest, illiterate and illogical nonsense that I have ever heard! I felt my body become weightless and my vision blur, the things that would bring me to a fiery rage fueled my internal programming.

Edd: As soon as we get out of here go straight to Plank and stay with him, got it?

Jim nodded with a determined look on his face as he clung to me. Eddy hit the sphere three more times and then it shattered. We fell to the ground and I heard Kevin yell his heart out along with Eddy, Bro, Ed and Plank. I stuck the landing breaking the ground beneath me. I stood straight and looked around to see everybody staring me with bewilderment. At the next moment Jim too some of the shards from the broken sphere and ran through the demons slicing them left and right till he was in Planks arms.

James: So this lamb is really an angel isn't he?

I heard James say behind me. I turned only slightly and felt a swift hit to my temple. I fell to the ground and I could faintly hear Kevin yell my name. I saw Eddy standing on the dragon and it looked like he was ready to make an air drop with his gun. I felt a shard under me and I knew he couldn't see it because if he did He would've taken it already.

James: Why must all my prey leave me when things are just getting good.

Edd: Only prey would sit and be devoured if anything...

I look at him with a sly smile on face, he didn't see the blaring mistake that he had made.

Edd: You're our prey.

He stared at me with question and I heard Kevin run up behind me.

Kevin: Edd!

Edd: Stay right there Kevin, let me handle this.

Kevin: What?!

Edd: I have it under control darling.

Kevin stood there huffing and puffing and I could hear him grunt in anger obeying my wishes. Cute. Keeping my eyes locked with James I shifted on the ground.

Edd: How's about a deal?

Everybody: WHAT?!

Edd: If you let my son go, along with everybody else including Marie, I'll stay here with you forever and cater to your every whim...

James: Really? What's the catch?

I shook my head and smiled at him, the same fake smile I always gave when doing my work.

Edd: None whatsoever.

James smiled wickedly.

James: Ok, you have a deal...

He turned and waved his hand that lead back to the living room where we were before. Freedom was there and it was a step away for everybody.

James: Ok, everybody line up!

The demons rounded everybody up as they multiplied more and more to keep a steady order. These were some really stupid demons because they completely forgot about Eddy in the sky hiding behind some of the standing ruins. Minutes later everybody was lined up, minus Bro who belonged to this world and could come and go as he so pleases. I was standing next to James who had his arms wrapped around my shoulders as he nuzzled my hair.

James: I think the first thing we'll do is walk along the blood red ocean and possibly fuck under the burning trees, wouldn't that sound lovely?

I turned and smiled nodding at his ludicrous idea of the perfect activity. Everybody was walking back home and the last to go was Kevin and Jim. Jim was holding his fathers hand and looked at me with sullen eyes. Please don't look at me like that, I can't bear it.

Kevin: Edd...

Edd: Please Kevin, I'm doing this for you guys.

Kevin: We don't want you to.

Edd: I know, but think of it this way, you'll have Jim with you.

Jim: But daddy it won't be the same without you!

Jim started to run at me till two demons kicked him back. I flinched at the sight and saw Kevin run to his aid as well as Plank. They both supported Jim helping him off the ground and dusting him off. With a narrowed gaze, Kevin stared at James.

Kevin: How dare you...

James: Children should learn when to stay put.

I felt James' grip tighten as Kevin only grew more and more vengeful. Plank carried Jim back through the door as my son wept into his shoulder. I can't stand this, Eddy is still waiting and Bro is just standing behind us with he eyes covered by the lid of his hat. I could feel the disappointment in everybody but my plans normally work that way. I turn to James and he looks at me.

Edd: Can I say goodbye?

James: I don't see the harm in doing so.

He squeezed my arse before pushing off to Kevin who stood there looking down at the ground.

Edd: Kevin?

He stayed silent and did nothing.

Edd: At least look at me, that's all I can ask for.

He reluctantly turned his head towards me and I saw nothing but tears; a dulled face with blood red eyes and a quivering lip to match his broken demeanor. Everything had shattered for him. He's lost his life for me, lost me, lost his son and now he's losing me again to the ghost of an enemies past.

Kevin: I can't live without you...

He reached for my hand and the demon lackeys became defensive. I turned to James motioning for him to make them calm down. He raised a hand and the demons stood at ease. He grabbed my hand and pulled me into a hug. I hugged him back feeling his heart beat...calmly?

Kevin: What the fuck are you planning Edd?

I heard him whisper into my ear. I can't believe this was all an act! The primary job of an assassins is to lie and deceit others into doing our own bidding as we kill through the day and the night.

Kevin: Eddys' still on that dragon and you still have that glass shard on you.

Edd: Smart of you to notice. On my signal, shoot him directly between the eyes, Eddy and I have our object...

Kevin: You're fucking awesome.

James: Wrap it up already!

With James being impatient I told Kevin one last thing to do, he knew how to and has done it before but he wasn't sure if it would work or if the person was reliable as needed. I pulled away from him and kissed him one last time.

Edd: I'll still be here...

I said placing my hand on his heart. He covered my hand and dared to keep it there.

Kevin: I'll find a way to get you back, I will.

James: That's a laugh.

James said as he stood behind us. He grabbed me and held me in his arms as he glared at Kevin who in turn gave a glare of his won.

James: It's time for you to be heading home now sir, I have plans for us...

He said as he tilted my head up and pecked my lips. Kevin scoffed angrily and wiped his eyes as he turned and walked to the door. Before stepping through the threshold let my knees buckle and drop. Jame caught me and hearing the concerned yells from my friends made Kevin turn around.

Bro: Edd!

Kevin: EDD!

Kevin Ran back to me but was stopped by the demons. They held him down on the ground as he struggled to free himself.

Edd: No...

James: What's happening?!

Kevin: I told him to dismantle that chip!

James: "Chip"?!

Bro: Lats year Edd installed a chip to cure all known ailments to mankind and used himself as a Guinea pig.

Kevin: You took advantage of that and granted that stupid thing works but it can kill him too!

James: He'll die staying here anyhow so what's the matter?

Kevin: That thing will put him in limbo!

I felt the realization hit James. He's completely dead and fate has been decided for him since he died and the man has accepted that fate. However, this lie has him thinking otherwise.

James: No..NO!

He grappled at my limp body as if I were slowly and surely dying.

James: I can't stay here alone! I can't!

Bro: You won't.
