Chapter 2
New students
In the village of Iselia, inside the small schoolhouse, Professor Raine is teaching a class, when she notices a kid dressed in red and a kid in a green jacket, sleeping through her lesson.
Eggs, eggs, eggs, oh look a chicken." Muttered Ed in his sleep.
Raine walked over and faced the two children, with an eraser in her hand.
"Lloyd Irving, wake up. Lloyd!!!" yelled Raine.
Raine then threw the eraser, which hit Lloyd in the head, leaving a white chalk mark.
"Gah!!" yelled Lloyd, with a shock.
"How do you manage to sleep standing?" said Raine.
"Oh, Professor, is class over?" said Lloyd.
"No, Lloyd it isn't, and who is this strange person next to you?" asked Raine.
"I don't know, I've never seen him before." said Lloyd.
"Hey, wake up!!!" yelled Raine.
"Private Do Not Enter reporting for duty." Said Ed, with a dopey grin.
"Who are you, are you new here?" asked Raine.
"Uhhhh, is that a quiz or something?" asked Raine.
It was at that moment that Ed noticed he had two swords attached to his side. Ed, being the idiot that he is, unsheathed the swords and started swinging them wildly.
"Oh cool, this is how the hero destroyed the brainless Cyclops in the movie, Warrior from the planet Zorkan." Said Ed.
Ed continued to swing the swords wildly, and nearly hit Lloyd in the face.
"Someone save me from this crazy person. He's nuts I tell you!!" yelled Lloyd.
"You, put those away this instant." Said Raine.
Ed pays no attention to Raine, and smacks her in the face with one of his swords.
"Oh, THAT'S IT!!!!!!!!" said Raine angrily.
Raine, delivers a swift kick into Ed's chest, which sends him flying through a wall, with his head sticking through one end, and the rest of him through the other end.
"Are we having fun yet? Hahaha!!!" said Ed.
Double-D quickly gets up from one of the school desks and walks over to Ed yanking him out of the wall, and then faces Raine.
" My apologies, but Ed can't help himself sometimes, loveable oaf." Said Double-D.
"And who are you?" asked Raine:
"I am Eddward, but you can call me Double-D." said Double-D.
"Fine, please take your seats, so we can continue." Said Raine.
Double-D then took Ed back to his desk and sat down.
"Man, that guy has issues." Said Lloyd.
"No kidding, oops, I'm not supposed to be here." Said the author, PokeFanatic.
PokeFanatic quickly disappears.
"Back to business, now who would like to answer the question? How about you Genis." Said Raine.
A small then stood from his desk and faced Raine.
"Yes, Raine. Mithos, the hero, ended the Kharlan war in the holy ground of Kharlan." Said Genis.
"Correct, afterwards Mithos sealed away the Desians." Said Raine.
"But the Desians have returned and are now causing everyone to suffer." Said Lloyd.
"We know Lloyd, we covered that in class yesterday, remember?" said Raine.
"Yeah, I know…..I just forgot." Said Lloyd.
"Do you think the Desians could help cater a party?" said Ed.
"No Ed, you dimwit.: said Genis.
"Pass the mustard." Said Ed.
"Ed, please be quiet." Said Double-D.
"As I was saying, it is said the seal weakens, because of the current mana shortage in the world. This is caused, because it is believed that the Desians consume vast amounts of mana in their human ranches. Today is the Day of Prophecy, on this day the chosen receives the oracle and their journey begins, Now Chosen One…Colette." Said Raine.
However, Colette doesn't hear Raine, because she is busy talking to a blonde headed girl, Nazz.
"Oh, you must share some of your fashion tips with me." Said Colette.
"I'd be happy too." Said Nazz.
"Colette!!" yelled Raine.
"Oh, sorry. Yes, Raine." Said Colette.
"Please tell us about the Journey of Regeneration." Said Raine.
"It is a journey to seal away the Desians, and to resupply the world with mana." Said Colette.
"Correct, I suppose we should expect the Chosen to know that. Now for the next question….." Raine started to say.
Just then, without warning there was a bright flash of light.
"Oh no, we're being abducted." Said Ed.
"Ed, you seriously need some help." Said Lloyd.
"……Pickle?" said Ed, as he pulled out a moldy pickle from his pocket.
"Eeeeeewwwwww, no thanks Ed." Said Lloyd, disgusted.
"OH MY LORD!!!!! Ed that is disgusting." Yelled Double-D, trying not to throw up.
"Everyone calm down and shut the hell up!!!!….umm, it seems the ritual has begun. I will go to the temple and check on the Cruxis Crystal, everyone else stay here and study on your own, understood?" said Raine.
"Professor, I'll go with you." Said Colette.
"No, Colette, if it is indeed the oracle, the priests will come for you. Please wait here with the class." Said Raine.
"Okay." Said Colette.
Raine then left the classroom, and Ed, Double-D, and Nazz grouped together.
"Um, Double-D, could you explain what is going on. One minute I'm lounging in my pool, and then the next I'm in this classroom." Said Nazz.
"It seems my latest invention malfunctioned and teleported us into Danny's game." Said Double-D.
"Danny? Where is Danny?" asked Nazz.
"I don't know. I don't know where Eddy, Jack, or Lugia are either." Said Double-D.
"Maybe their mommies called them home." Said Ed.
"Possible, but very unlikely, I believe that they are….." Double-D started to say.
Just then a wounded priest walked into the classroom.
"Chosen, Desians have violated the non aggression treaty, and are attacking the temple." Said the priest.
"You mean that treaty that states that the Desians won't attack the village as long as we leave the Human Ranch alone?" said Lloyd.
"Grandma says it was to protect me. I must go to the temple and receive the oracle." Said Colette.
"Lloyd, you're not going to let her go alone are you?" asked Genis.
"No, Colette, we're going with you." Said Lloyd.
"Thank you. Let's get going then." Said Colette.
"Um, excuse me Mr. Lloyd, but may we accompany you." Asked Double-D.
"No way, that friend of yours almost got me injured, I don't want him near me." Said Lloyd.
"Please, our friends are missing and we want to look for them." Said Double-D.
"Lloyd, don't be so heartless!!" said Colette.
"Yeah, come on Lloyd, I'm sure he didn't mean it." Said Genis.
"All right, but we had better get you some weapons and armor first." Said Lloyd.
"Why would we need weapons and armor?" said Double-D.
"To protect you from monsters." Said Lloyd.
"Monsters?!!" said Double-D.
"Come on Double-D, you've faced monsters before." Said Ed.
"That was just you in a costume, Ed." Said Double-D.
"It was?" said Ed, confused.
"Guys, stop talking and lets go." Said Genis.
So Ed, Edd, Nazz, Lloyd, Colette, and Genis headed for the weapon shop to prepare for the temple.
