Ed Edd Eddy n Edric: The EDsassination Classroom

by KamenRiderNexus98

The Eds with the 4th Ed, Edric, were kicked out of their last school and transferred to Kunugigaoka Junior High in Tokyo, Japan. Just as they were going to start a new school life, misfortune stuck them as they were sent to E-Class with their teacher being a super octopus mutant capable of destroying the Earth! Will they assassinate their teacher before graduation? Let's Party!

9. Chapter 9

EDsassination #9: Engaged on Sight starting with ED

(Cue the Koro Sensei Drawing Song)

The scene begins showing planet Earth, vast green lands, blue mystical waters and it was on its peaceful moments. Until Koro Sensei began to sing all of a sudden.

"🎵First you take the planet Earth, round and blue and green. And floating over Tokyo, you dropped a giant bean.🎵"

Koro Sensei was above Tokyo holding a giant bead with his feelers before dropping it into the city. Here we see the bean visible on the Earth as he drops another somewhere in the mountains in China.

"🎵Put another one in Sichuan, China––what a sheen!🎵"

Then Koro Sensei flies to the west side of the planet as he flies on Mach 20 towards the east before leaving contrails in the sky, making a curve line visible to the planet. Then he goes back again, only this time, he goes further south before going north to the west.

"🎵Taking off from Dubai to Hawaii at Mach 20, leaving contrails as you fly. Double back across the Southern Hemisphere over the Philippines once again to ol' Dubai.🎵"

"(And then!)"

Koro Sensei makes more contrails between the curve lines horizontally, making it look like teeth. When he's done, it turns out to be a drawing of his face on the planet.

"🎵Back to Hawaii, drawing line of latitude every 25 degrees along the way.🎵"

(Class 3-E)

Somehow, Koro Sensei was back in the classroom with the chalkboard saying 'The Koro Sensei Drawing Song' behind him.

"And there you have it:🎵Koro~Sen~Sei~!🎵" Koro Sensei finish his song as he pointed to the students. "See? Simple! Now you try it!"

"ARE YOU KIDDING?!" E-Class shouted comedically.

"THE HELL?! WHEN DID WE ENDED UP BACK HERE?!" Edric comedically pointed out.

"Sniff…Sniff…"

The class heard sniffling as they turned their heads to see Ed crying dramatically on his desk with tears pouring down from the sides. He lifted his head, showing his sad expression with big puppy eyes which creeped the students sans Double D, Eddy and Edric.

"It was so beautiful. Oh, sing-a-longs makes me sad, Edric." Ed then grabs Edric and flicks him as Edric becomes stiff as a board.

PFFFT!

Ed sneezed on him and once again, Edric was covered in snot as Ed put him down on the floor. His classmates groaned and gagged at the sight of snot-covered Edric. All Edric did was deadpanned and grumbled.

"That's it, I'm outta here." Edric saw as he slowly walked his way out of the classroom. Eddy laughed his head off while Yada giggled a little at his little dilemma.

"INSERT THEME SONG! NOW!" Edric shouted.

(Cue Tougenkyou Alien by serial TV Drama)

(Instrumental)

(Then scene pans at the city of Tokyo, Japan. Edric walked in facing backwards as he turned around and gave a biggest goofiest smile. The scene changed to Kunugigaoka Junior High as pans away. Eddy and Ed came next as the two did the same thing as Edric. Then changed to the E-Class building in the mountain as it zooms closer. Double D came last as he gave his smile. The scene zooms to the classroom, in which no one was there except Koro Sensei with his arms wiggling about and giving his signature smile as the title appeared.)

Ed Edd Eddy n Edric: The EDsassination Classroom

{Sunda hitomi ga yobisamasu wasurekaketeta seigikan seigikan}

'My dead eyes are woken up by the sense of justice, a sense of justice I had forgotten.

{sui mo amai mo shaburi tsukusu kyou no TĒMA wa kanzen chou aku sa}

'Sour or sweet, I'll gobble them all down. Today's theme is rewarding good and punishing evil.'

(Edric was walking towards the halls of his dorm room, making his way to the bathroom, yawning. He picked his nose as his 13 year old self appeared behind him as did his 7 year old self. The scene changed to him sitting at the table with the other Eds as he drank his cola before throwing it away, hitting Eddy on the head, and ate his red bean paste on rice. Then Edrice was standing on top of the mountain, viewing Kunugigaoka Junior High and Tokyo from afar. The screen panned to the E class building as it gradually moved to the classroom, where Nagisa and Kayano by their desk as they looked up smiling, Karma glanced up and smirked, The Eds sat by their desk while Edric leaned back before looking up and smiled.)

{sanbuntekina kuchiburi de yatara usobuku EIRIAN EIRIAN}

'With a commoners' speak. Randomly cry, "Alien! Alien!"'

{norarikurari to tsumibukaki tougenkyou ni GUDDOBAI shitan naraba}

'Evasive and sinful, if you've said your goodbyes to Shangri-La.'

(Yada, Kanzaki and Nakamura talked as they walked to the building. Nakamura decided to tease them a little as Yada blushed while Kanzaki simply smiled. Transition to Koro Sensei as he wiggled around before he split into nine and posed. Changed to Takebayashi and Okajima chat about the maid cafes with the Okajima gushing about the girls there on their way home. They then turned to see the Eds coming at them in a makeshift go cart with Edric driving, freaking them out, as they passed by them.)

{risou ni chuujitsu na ooh kibou wa mada sutete wa ikenai sa}

'You must not yet. Ooh, Throw away a hope that is loyal to your standards.'

(Nagisa and Kayano were driving their go cart with Karma with a Anti-Sensei rocket launcher and Sugino hanging on. Terasaka and his entourage were running with Ritsu on wheels, carrying Hara, Kurahash, Hazama and Okuda joining with Takebayashi and Okajima. Yada, Kanzaki and Nakamura were on theirs while Okano used skates. Fuwa pointed forwards as she's with Maehara and Mimura in their go cart. Isogai drove his cart with a nervous laugh while Kataoka sighed. Chiba and Hayami drove theirs with guns in hand. Kimura drove with Sugaya drawn in his sketchbook. Itona drove a makeshift motorcycle. Then Karma fired his launcher as it was going towards the Eds as they screamed in panic as it exploded into them.)

{SHĪSŌ GEMU wa tsudzuiteku sou sou bokura mo yuzurenai}

'The seesaw game is continuing. Yeah, Yeah, and we won't give up.

{shinkenshoubu ni yami tsuki de mou doushitatte yamerarenai ya iya}

'Addicted to full-on fighting, I just don't know what to do, I can't quit now-owow.'

(The scene changed to the forest in the mountains where Edric was running in a military uniform as he wielded his Anti-Sensei bokuto in blue paint as he slashed his opposing students with it in a battle cry. The Eds joined him as they fought off as the scene changed to Takaoka with Smog, Grip and Gastro. Then the screen panned up to see Shiro along with the Reaper as he showed his frightening smile. Karasuma was having a meeting with his superiors before turning around and walking away as the scene flashed into Irina in her casual look, then to Gakuha Asano in his office, then to Aguri Yukimura in her lab coat.)

{unmeiron nante zenzen kankeinai}

'Fatality doesn't matter at all.

{isshokenmei da da da}

'With all you've got, yell 'Da! Da! Da!''

(The Eds emerged from the smoke from earlier and drove as fast as they could while Karma kept firing at them. The mountain was seen as explosions were seen as they gradually went down. The Eds stops at the fence of the school as Edric skidded, leaving tire marks on the ground. Edrice then faces the screen with a 'da' followed by Ed Edd n Eddy then Koro Sensei appearing above the Eds.)

EDsassination #9: Engaged on Sight starting with Ed

(Flashback: Unknown Location)

Karasuma was at his desk in a dark room with the light shining above him and the assassin standing in front of his desk. It was a man with short blond hair and dark eyes that are normally covered by dark sunglasses and fair skin. He wore a poncho and wore a beanie over his head.

This assassin is known as Red Eye.

"Here's the hitch, your target is a junior high school teacher chaperoning students on a field trip to Kyoto. As you're probably aware, he's not human." Karasuma explains the assignment to Red Eye, he showed the picture of Koro Sensei and bullets with Anti-Sensei BBs. "Now, I don't mean to call your skills into question, but on this assignment, be ready for anything."

Red Eye takes a look at the modified bullet before leaving the room to proceed to kill the target he'd been assigned to.

---

(Kyoto - Countryside)

Right before Edric's group dilemma with the high school thugs, the first day trip in Kyoto was off to a good start. Double D's group decided to visit the countryside of Kyoto as the sound of a speeding train can be heard at the end of the tunnel. The train came out of the tunnel, showing that it was pulling several freight trains and open seat carts that they could sit in and take a good look at the view outside. Double D's group decided to go by train to see all the local tourist areas and the lands around them.

"Wowza. The open air design really lets you feel this baby move." Koro Sensei said, leaning his head out of the cart to see the land they passed as the wind made his coat and wig blew.

"I have to agree with you, sir. The intended design of this cart was to give people a view of all the lovely flora and fauna of this fine land. Giving people a feel and view of the sun and the surrounding areas instead of being cooped in a box cart in front of us. Isn't it fascinating?" Double said in excitement.

"Why yes, Double D. The serenity of this great land is full of promised and treasured landscapes. Truly, you picked a fine place to start the first day of our trip." Koro Sensei complimented as he turned to Double D, who was sitting next to Okuda and Okano. "Didn't you and Okuda plan this idea?"

"We certainly did. We had to look through the many areas of Kyoto and saw that the landscape was the most popular tourist spot alongside the temples. So we decided that seeing the beauty of Kyoto's luscious green hills, plains, and many outside wonders was, as you said, a fine place to start." Double D explained while Okuda blushed and stuttered by his compliments of her involvement.

"I-I didn't do much. Double D thought up the idea to begin with." Okuda managed to say.

"Nonsense, Okuda. You and Double D really did a good job choosing this route for our trip. As the old saying goes, 'great minds think alike'." Koro Sensei said, Double D and OKuda blushed at his compliment of the two. They looked at each other before turning away quickly from embarrassment.

"Truly a splendid idea, indeed." Koro Sensei said as he looked at the plains field. "This is how you travel by train! Zipped along at a bracing 25 kilometers per hour, and no queasiness!"

"Say the guy who can break the sound barrier." Maehara said.

The group stood in silence as the train kept moving, waiting in anticipation as their EDsassination attempt is set into motion. They're coming closer to their designation where their sniper, Red Eye, is waiting for the target in their sight.

'Just a little more. And we'll be right in the sniper's line of sight.' Isogai thought. 'Incidentally, it's a popular tourist stop on the Sango Tram line. The Hozu River Bridge.'

Isogai recalled back when they were planning the attempt as they looked over the areas in Kyoto. Double D and Okuda suggested partaking in the assasintaion at the forest where they're many trees and surrounding nature so that Koro Sensei wouldn't smell and find the sniper hidden in there. It was the perfect place to take out their target.

The train stopped when they made it to Hozu River Bridge as the conductor spoke through the loudspeaker.

"Alright folks. Now's the time to snap those pictures."

As the tourists started taking the pictures, the students saw a boat coming by the river. Seeing it as an opportunity to distract Koro Sensei enough time for the sniper to shoot, Hinano took the initiative and distracted their teacher.

"Hey! Check out the boat, Koro Sensei! Coolest ever, huh?" Hinano pointed at the said boat.

"Ooh, let me see!" Koro Sensei giddy said as he looked down. "Nice!"

Hinano then looks back at her group while Koro Sensei's distracted and nods, confirming their chance to strike. Isogai and Maehara looked at each other and nodded as well. Out near the riverbank, Red Eye was hiding behind the trees and bushes. He's waiting for Koro Sensei to lean out more to get a better look at the boat, meaning that the more he leans in the more he's vulnerable for a shot to the head. When he did, he could see Koro Sensei from his scope and grabbed the opportunity.

BANG!

Red Eye pulled the trigger as the shot should've gone through in between Koro Sensei's noggin, or in his case a boulder to the head.

'One time, in the Middle East, I shot a man at 20 clicks during a sandstorm. Beautiful day, clear line of sight.' Red Eyes thought his monologue as he reloaded his sniper rifle. He then looked through his scope again to see his work. 'Easy mode. Yeah. If that wasn't a headshot, I'm a monkey's-'

But then he was shocked to see that Koro Sensei caught the bullet with the piece of yatsuhashi he was eating.

"HE BLOCKED ME BULLET WITH A PIECE OF YATSUHASHI?!" Red Eye comedically shouted.

"Oh dear. There seems to be a slider of bone in my could've turned out ugly." Koro Sensei said, looking at the treat in his hands then looking at his students. The students looked away and pretended to know nothing about it.

'Urgh! Impossible!' Red Eye internally shouted in his head. 'A high-spin round stopped dead by a tiny piece of local, ooey-gooey goodness?! How fast do they expect me to be?'

Double D sighs as he taking out his EDsassinatoin Plan and write it down as another failure. He hung his head down for his and Okuda's plan went down the drain, all because of a piece of confectionery. Then he felt a hand and saw that Okuda was comforting him.

"Don't feel bad, Double D. It was a brilliant attempt and everything was in place. Koro Sensei is just too fast." Okuda reassures him. Double D recalled all of their previous attempts and she's right, nothing else is new when it comes with their teacher.

"Thank you, Miss Okuda. But it wasn't only my plan, you helped out too. WE're in this together." Double D said, making her blush from his praise and looked away, much to his confusion.

Then the train started moving again from their designation while Red Eye was in between angry, amazed and shocked. Never in his whole career did he expect his target to catch the bullet and live. He was given the name Red Eye because he'll always get his target in hindsight, never miss his prey in the line of fire. Which is why he was hired to take Koro Sensei out in the first place. But this is a first for him, but he always wanted a challenge.

"Hmph. Okay. Now I understand the price on this guy's head." Red Eye said as he walked out from his hiding spot. Watching his target moving away from his sight. 'Mr. K was serious when he said my target wasn't human. This is gonna be fun.'

(Kyoto - Toei Uzumasa Film Park)

It was now Eddy's group to take a turn as they decided to do it at a local film park. They went to the farthest part of Kyoto as they were going to watch an act of a popular screenwriting or script in which Koro Sensei will be interested and watch. Lots of empty areas where Red Eye can easily hide and keep an eye on his target with little to less civilians. And with the actors making a lot of noise, Koro Sensei won't be hearing the gunshot anytime soon.

"Begone with thee, foul wastrel!"

The play had already started to where the main actor was now going to the fight scene, which was one of the many fight scenes according to Mimura.

"Your presence doth desecrate mine eye!" Actor A said in disgust as he held his hand out in front of the female actor with three more in front of him.

"How dare you address me thus?!" Actor B growled.

"Let us teach this man humility, brothers!" Actor C exclaimed as the three drew their swords.

The actor charged at Actor A but he drew his sword and slew Actor B while Actor C charged at him. Actor A swung his blade as Actor C was down, he then pointed his sword in front as the other actor ganging up on him. It was part of the act but their performance was so amazing that Eddy's group couldn't help but awe.

"Awesome! Their swords move so fast you can barely see them!" Okajima exclaimed in awe.

Eddy was impressed by their performanced but it was nothing compared to when Edric used his sword back home along with their shenanigans. It was child's play to him but nonetheless amazed.

"Yeah, so fast that Sonic would be jealous of them." Eddy jokes, trying to be funny but only Nakamura laughed as she understood what Eddy was doing.

"These men are highly trained in the subtle art of stage combat." Koro Sensei explained, crossing his arms as he continued watching. "Did I mention that I'm an aficionado of Edo-era swordplay?"

"You know, you and Double D must've been great at parties." Eddy sarcastically said, deadpanned as some of his group laughed at his quip.

Then the group saw that the stage fight proceeding to where they are as Eddy began to formulate an idea to his EDsassintaion attempt. Seeing that this was a window of opportunity to get a better angle to Red Eye's line of fire. He snickered as rubbed his hands together reverting to his old scheming habits. After he heard that Double D's attempt failed miserably, it was his turn in the spotlight.

'Hehehe. Duddle Do-the-right-thing failed to kill the octopus. Now it's my turn for the prize money.' Eddy evilly grinned before leaning towards Nakamura and whispered his plan to her and asked for her cooperation. She nodded as she smirked at his plan as the two looked at the stage and saw that the actors were getting closer, they stepped to Koro Sensei's side and commenced their plan into action.

"Watch out, sir! Don't stand so close!" Nakamura said in a worried tone as she tugged Koro Sensei back.

"Yeah, Octo-head. You don't wanna be a pin cushion, do ya?" Eddy said, annoyed just to mess with him.

"I wouldn't put it like that but yes, it'll ruin my suit." Koro Sensei said, knew that the blades wouldn't kill him.

As they pulled him away from the stage fight, Nakamura then looked up and set her sight focusing on the tower nearby. It was the location Red Eye's currently hiding, he had the perfect height and out of sight for him. He looked through his scope as he could see the student guiding the teacher to his sight.

'The actors are guiding the target nicely. Good. Everything's going according to plan.' Red Eye thought smugly as he kept his eye on the target. 'That's right, eyes on the show.'

At first he was lax and had faith in his skills as a sniper. Because of his pride and failing to read up on Koro Sensei made him lose sight of what his target is capable of. But now he knows that, he knows what to do now and this time, the octopus is as good as takoyaki.

That's what he had thought until he looked through his scope, seeing that his target is now missing.

"Huh? Where the hell?!" Red Eye exclaimed, looking left and right to find his target. Then he looked up to the stage and saw that Koro Sensei was in the same attire as the actors, not to mention playing along. "Oh, come on! Really?! How's everyone okay with this?"

Koro Sensei slew two actors before he sped to Actor A with his back turned. The audience screamed as dust flew while the other actors were weirded out by this suddence improv but kept their act.

"I come to thine aid. Blood-soaked sakura blossoms are an evil flower. I will not abide them." Koro Sensei acted as he held his sword out and went in a defensive stance.

"He even knows the lines?!" Red Eye exclaimed. "Ugh. I can't hit him like this! The actors are in the way! Gah, I hate actors!"

Red Eye looked through his scope again to follow his target. But he was too fast for him to catch up and struggled due to this sling with the actor caught in his line of sight. Then he thought back when Karasuma told him about his target.

"He's been clocked at Mach 20, and his defensive techniques are unconventional. But don't let that throw you off."

'Yeah. Unconventional. Moving on!' Red Eye grunted in anger as he snapped his wooden pipe in two. 'This sonuvabitch is dead. I stake my name on it.'

His target is no joke, he's an impossible thing to kill. He has another chance to kill him and he will be damned if he doesn't get him soon.

Eddy's group saw that Koro Sensei jumped to take the opportunity to join in the play eyes were white dots with their mouths open in shock while they're sweating upon their teacher's acting. Except Eddy, he had tick marks on his head, clearly seeing that now the sniper can't shoot with the actors in the way.

"Of course the octopus would find an opening, dammit." Eddy grumbled, clenching his fist as he watched on.

(Kyoto - Five Story Pagoda)

Now Ed's group takes a crack at killing Koro Sensei. While the others don't mind with Ed being in their group. Terasaka, however, were very annoyed that he had to be in a group with the dumb Ed.

"Of all of those 4 freaks, why did we have to get stuck with the stupid one." Terasaka complained to his posse. Then Fuwa punched him on the shoulder as she glared at him.

"That's not nice, Terasaka. Sure Ed can be simple minded but he's still lovable. He's a lovable dummy, so don't say anything that would hurt him." Fuwa tells him, deafening Ed.

"You called him a dummy. How's that different from me calling him stupid?" Terasaka said back.

"Well…when I called him that, I meant it as a compliment." Fuwa replied, trying to counter Terasaka's query.

"How is that a-"

WHOOSH!

Then Koro Sensei suddenly appeared in front of them.

"You're late, sir. What took you so long?" Sumire asked.

"So sorry! I got swept up into a samurai drama. I was the star!" Koro Sensei answered in glee.

"I totally believe it." Muramatsu said.

"Did you see the Wizard of Oz upon your trip?" Ed said, simple minded as he is. Everyone else in Eds group, except for Fuwa, was annoyed by his stupid question.

'How the heck did he get that question?' They thought.

"No, Ed. When I said swept up, I didn't mean a tornado. I meant I played a part of the act and it was incredible!" Koro Sensei explained to Ed. "But that's out of the way, shall we be on our way?"

"Y'know, we finished Kiyomizu temple like forever ago." Yoshida said.

"More like for a few seconds, then Ed over there thought it'd be fun to go chasing some birds and nearly made us go over the side when we tried to catch him." Hazama recalled, clearly annoyed.

"I thought it was Joshua Steinberg from 'The Reincarnated Blue Feather'." Ed chuckled as he pulled out a comic book with a cover of a bird in a tiny helmet flying towards the setting sun.

"Huh?" Everyone, even Koro Sensei, asked. Fuwa then grew a happy smirk as she took over for Ed.

"It's about a man who died from a fiery explosion, then reincarnated as a bluebird and travels the world. He saves people and gains new life experiences along the way." Fuwa explained to them with pride.

"And in volume 178, he faces his archenemy, Dr. Hoggback. The evil scientist that uses birds to steal from banks and random people on the streets, but also mutates other creatures and ucts them up. Then stitches them together to create monstrous creatures." Ed finishes with a dopey smile.

The group just started at the two, who had happy looks on their faces, telling a story they never heard before in their lives.

'Those two are meant for each other.' They thought, sweatdropped from the over enthusiasm those two had. Koro Sensei scratched his head, thinking about the group's dilemma then got an idea.

"What do you say we scope out Ninazaka street for souvenirs?" Koro Sensei suggested.

"Yeah, right. Like you'll buy anything except junk food." Terasaka retorted.

"Oh goody, goody, goody. I hope they have jawbreakers!" Ed jumped up and down joyfully.

While Ed's group were discussing what to go next, Red Eyes stationed himself in a nearby temple. He was pissed after he failed to kill the octopus 2 times, it was starting to get to him big time. He was in an empty room on the top floor, where he could see them from a bird's eye view.

'Okay. Perfect place to draw a steady bead on him. From Yasaka's five-story pagoda, it's a straight shot.' Red Eye thought and through his scope, he could see Hara was showing Koro Sensei something.

"Here Koro Sensei, try this blotting paper! It's super cool." Sumire suggested, showing a bunch of pieces of paper. Koro Sensei stared at them but he was a bit hesitant on trying them out.

"I'm not sure I care for you to see what'll pick up." Koro Sensei protested, but she waved it off as she put them on him anyway.

"C'mon, it's supposed to be fun!" Sumire insisted.

"Okay, guess we're doing this." Koro Sensei sighed, not much he can do now.

Terasaka smirked, knowing that this was the right time for Red Eye to take the shot. Red Eye saw what she was doing and figured that she was giving him a chance to shoot now.

'He pores over his tchotchkes at the foot of Sannenzaka. And while a student distracts him…' Red eye then pulled the trigger.

BANG!

'Booyah! Smack dab in the temple!' He looked to see the bullet soared towards Koro Sensei's head for another headshot. This time he got him, right?

Wrong!

Instead, the bullet was stopped when the tchotchkes picked up a bunch of yellow slimy stuff piled up from Koro Sensei's pores.

Gross.

"THIS IS RIDICULOUS! A PIECE OF PAPER?!" Red Eye shouted.

"See? This is exactly what I meant. Look at all these secretions. There's enough mucus here to stop a bullet." Koro Sensei said, peeling off the paper on him and showing the one with the bullet.

Terasaka grew annoyed and turned away from the octopus, seeing that the octopus was still invincible that a bullet was stopped by a bunch of mucus. Everyone else sweatdropped, except for Ed, with his stupd expression as he didn't know what's happening.

RING!(3X)

Then they heard a phone going off as they turned to see that it was Koro Sensei's.

"Hmm? Ah. Edric's group is calling. Excuse me. Hello?" Koro Sensei answered his phone as he listened to the other end of the line before he gasped. "Tell me where you are."

"What's wrong, sir?" Hara asked.

"Right, I'll meet ya there." Koro Sensei said in worry before ending the call. He turned to his student to tell them the situation "It seemed Edric's group ran into some high school thugs and were taken. I'm afraid I have to cut our time here short. Sorry, boys and girls, I have to go."

Koro Sensei was about to take off to save Edric and the others until he felt a tug on his sleeve. He turned to see that Ed was the one doing it.

"Oh please, oh please, Mr. Octopus. Take me with you. Edric's my best buddy and I must save him." Ed pleaded.

"I can't do that Ed. This is a dangerous task. So please, stay here with your–Oof!" Koro Sensei was about to warn him until Ed tackled him to the ground.

"Please, oh please, please, please. Take me with you. Edric is my friend. I must save my friend. Take me with you." Ed jumped up and down from Koro Sensei, much to his discomfort.

"He could help, Koro Sensei. I mean, He was able to that branch you're hanging from back then with just a pebble. His strength might be useful to you." Fuwa said, supporting Ed.

"Yes please, take him with you." Terasaka insisted, clearly tired of Ed already thus getting another punch from Fuwa.

Koro Sensei was a bit reluctant on bringing Ed, he wanted to keep his students safe from harm. But given how the Eds were close to each other, it was really difficult for him and knew how Ed can be stubborn sometimes.

"Alright, Ed. You may come along to save your friends but if the high schoolers have a gun, you are to run away as far as you can. Do I make myself clear, young man?" Koro Sensei said in a stern voice.

"Righty-O, Mr. Octopus, sir!" Ed saluted, giving off his goofy smile.

"Far enough." Koro Sensei puts Ed into his uniform as they fly off to save Edric and the girls.

Back with Red Eye, he was stumped as tried to gather his thoughts together of everything that had happened on this job. He slumped down and put his sniper rifle away.

'Damn. What in god's name is this thing? His speed's insane, his defenses impregnable. It's like he's factory-made with the express purpose of being un-friggin'-killable.' Red Eye said internally, wrapping his head around what he learned so far.

He couldn't kill him, the target is unstoppable for him even with his keen eyes and skills as a sniper. His methods failed to hit Koro Sensei and stood tall after all of that. The only thing in the sniper's mind is what could possibly kill that unkillable mutant.

Then he snapped out of his thoughts when he felt his phone vibrating and picked up his phone.

"Red Eye here." He answered.

"It's me." Karasama called.

"Oh, hey Mr. K." Red Eye greets.

"I'm afraid you'll have to pack it in for today. No more attempts." Karasama informs Red Eye, making him gasp.

"The next group you were supposed to work with has run into some unforeseen issues. Something about a gang of high school thugs. Target is disregarding the itinerary to go to their aid." Karasuma explains with Professor Bitch listening in on his end.

"Yes, sir. Understood." Red Eye began to think back earlier today, with every attempt failed he needed a break from all this. Realized that Koro Sensei's skills were in a different league than his. "To be honest, this bastard makes me wanna throw in the towel anyway."

---

(Timeskip)

It was dark out and Red Eye was wandering the streets of Kyoto while he was still thinking about the stubborn and crazy day he had. Never in his career has meet a target so fast and impenetrable to sighs as he continues to walk down the street.

'I've been a sniper for 8 years. And not once have I failed to see a mark of blood in my scope. Not once. That's how I got the name Red Eye.'

Red Eye recalled his previous targets he killed, how he'd shot him in one shot, hitting his mark no matter what the circumstances. All the crazy missions he's given, the perils and thrills he'd experienced, the people he killed, all of that and yet this mission was the craziest of them all.

It's funny, Karasuma hired him because of his reputation and skills as a sniper along the kill streaks he had.

"Kinda strange when you think about it." Red Eye said, stopped in a small area in an alleyway as he leaned on a wall and put his case down. He held his fingers like ascope and looked through it. "Nothing particularly red about my eye."

Then out of nowhere, a small red gourd tied to a string appeared before him. Red Eye let go of his finger gesture and pondered on what it is.

"Here you go. It's a special blend of spices from Sannenzaka."

"Thank you, 'Preciate it. You really shouldn't have–" Red Eye caught the gourd when it was dropped into his hand.

He was impressed with the small gift he was given and looked up to see who the kind person was. To his shock, it was Koro Sensei, the target he was trying to kill all day.

"WHAT IN THE HELL?!" Red Eye shouted that his target had found him this quickly.

"Sorry to disrupt your plans; some of my students were in a pickle. Not to worry, it's taken care of. Everything's shipshape now. So I thought i'd take this opportunity to drop by and say hello." Koro Sensei said, his tentacles wriggling about and his face shadowed with his eyes glowing red.

Red Eye slid down from the wall in fear of what his target was about to do. This may be his last line of work for Red Eye the sniper.

---

(Red Eye's Inn room)

But that wasn't the case, the two of them were in the room Red Eye's staying in as they were having some ankake yudofu. Koro Sensei then told him everything about the assassination plan the kids planned as he cools down his tofu by blowing it.

"So you knew the plan and you were just playing along for kicks?" Red Eye asked in confusion. "You're one scary customer, you know that? No wonder the government's paying a fortune to keep you a secret. So, uh…let's cut to the chase, huh? If you're gonna kill me, go right ahead. Death's an occupational hazard. I know what I signed up for."

As he finished what he wanted to say as his last words, Koro Sensei still kept on blowing his tofu and continued to do so at an exaggerated rate. Eventually, it began to annoy Red Eye and grew impatient.

"JUST EAT IT!" Red Eye yelled.

Koro Sensei's Weak Point #11: Heat-sensitive tongue

"You don't really think I'm going to kill you? When you've gone to so much trouble making this an enjoyable trip? On the contrary, I'm here to thank you." Koro Sensei said after his continuous blowing, surprising Red Eye as he gasped. Then took a bite of his tofu before he continued on. "My students did some impressive research on this region. Yes, as a means of pinpointing an ideal spot for assassination, but still! They steeped themselves in geography, local customs, tourist highlights, history, all of it. As a matter of fact, their efforts brought them closer to this city's charms than a teacher might otherwise dare to hope. They've really come to understand another place and its people; to expand their minds with travel. What ultimately brought them to that milestone? Assassination."

Koro Sensei helped himself to another bowl and put in more topping while Red Eye was a bit stunned by his target's lecture. Then Koro Sensei made another serving and brought it to him.

"Here you go." Red Eye grabbed the bowl before he looked up at the teacher. "Under the circumstances, I'm proud as punch to be their target."

"I'll be damned. You're as crazy as you look. Still. I can tell you care about those kids." Red Eye said he could see in Kror Sensei's eyes that he loves those students with passion. He stared at his food before thinking of his school back when he was young. 'Wish I had a teacher like you back in the day.'

Well, don't we all.

(Later that night)

After the two had their fill of Ankake Yudofu, Red Eye called Karasuma telling him that he's quitting his assignment by the bridge.

"Wait, what do you mean you're quitting?" Karasuma asked in shock.

"Yeah, sorry. I suddenly feel like just being a tourist for a while. Life tends to pass you by in the sniper's nest, ya know? It's time I expanded the ol' color palette. Eyes getting tired of red." Red Eye then ended his call as he looked up at the night sky, made his scope fingers and looked through them. "Now, let me see. What hue should I set my sights on tomorrow?"

(Kyoto - Traditional Inn)

Most of Edric's group were in the in-house game corner of the inn. Each of the students was wearing green and white Japanese robes that were provided to them by the hotel. They gathered around and watched Kanzaki in amazement as she had beaten the highest score in an arcade game.

"Hot damn! How the hell are you dodging all of those?!" Sugino exclaimed, as Kanzaki's left hand moved the joystick and her right hand pressed the right buttons skillfully.

"This is actually starting to get embarrassing." Kanzaki smiled with a little blush.

"No, what's embarrassing is those poor suckers of those high scores you've beaten. They must've been weeping by now." Edric said, making her blush even more.

"Look at the way she handles the joystick, smiling like it's no big deal." Sugino complimented the shy and beautiful Kanzaki.

"Wow! I never would have expected you to be such a video game pro!" Yada said with an excited look.

"I've kept it a secret." Kanzaki explains. "My family's super strict. They don't approve of me wasting my time on stuff like this. Lately though,I feel like I'm over caring so much about what they think. Well, what anybody thinks, really. I used to get so stressed about how other people saw me. I always second guessed myself. That is until the Eds found out but they accepted me regardless. And that's when they and Koro Sensei made me realize. It's all about doing the best with what you have. Be true to the person you are on the inside. And that's what I'll do, I'm gonna be proud of who I am and be myself with my head held high."

Edric smiled that Kanzaki was getting over her problems and willing to open up to the class. Seeing Kayano freaking out when Kanzaki lost in the game proves that they bonded and grew closer. Who knew Kanzaki had that side of her when he and his friends discovered that, maybe in this trip he'll find more about the others in E-Class. He then noticed a particular fighting game at the end of the room and took it upon himself to see it. When he did, he turned to see Kanzaki.

"Kanzaki!" Edric called out, getting her and the others attention. "I challenge you to Mortal Kombat!"

Nagisa, Sugino, Kayano and Yada gasped in shock as they thought he plans to fight Kanzaki. But Kanzaki giggled at his challenge and walked towards him, much to their further shock.

"Kanzaki! Edric! Stop!" Yada shouted, fearing the worst.

"There's no reason to fight each other!" Kayano shouted, freaking out.

"Let's not get hasty, you two!" Sugino shouted, trying to stop them.

"Uh, I think he meant that." Nagisa pointed out what's behind Edric. They looked over Edric's shoulder to see the Mortal Kombat Arcade game.

"Oh, so it's a game?" Sugino sweatdropped, totally missing that.

"Thank goodness it's not actual fighting." Yada sighs as Kayano did too.

"Oh no, fighting in Mortal Kombat means fighting to the death! I'll get my revenge from that loss, Yukiko Kanzaki!" Edric shouted as he pointed at her dramatically.

"What's he talking about?" Nagisa asked.

"Oh, he's fussing about losing to me back in Tokyo." Kanzaki tells them, much to their surprise.

"Wait a minute." Kayano remembered that Kanzaki mentioned that the Eds knew about her side too. "Is that what you meant by the Eds found out, Kanzaki?"

"Oh yeah, me and the Eds knew before the trip." Edric explains his side of the story. "We're on our way to the local arcade and that's when we bumped into her. You should see her then, she was in a totally different outfit and I accidentally–!"

PEW!

Then Edric was knocked down to the floor, face planted, from the back of the head. They looked to see Kanzaki with her Anti-Sensei gun aimed at said Ed. They took a step back as they saw Kanzaki still smiling and giggled in a menacing way.

"It's not nice to talk about someone behind their backs, Edric-san." Kanzaki said.

"It's not nice to shoot someone that is not the octopus, Kanzaki-san." Edric muffled on the floor.

The group sweatdropped before Edric got off the floor as he and Kanzaki played Mortal Kombat.

---

(Ping-Pong Room)

Eddy was playing ping-pong with Mimura, Isogai and a boy with black hair combed over along the sides of his head wearing round eyeglasses, Kotaro takebayashi. Eddy hit the ping-pong ball with his paddle over the other side of the table while Takebayashi tried to hit it but he missed before the ball hit his glasses.

"Hey, good save, man." Isogai compliment.

Meanwhile, Karasuma was sitting down not too far away looking over the files of other snipers. The sniper that was assigned to this assassination, Red Eye, bailed out just moments ago, halfway through the mission, and most of the other ones saw how difficult this job was going to be. No one was taking the offer.

'Almost every sniper who saw the specs on this mission turned it down. The one guy we thought was shoe-in quit halfway through the assignment. Damn. So much for our Kyoto gambit, I suppose.' Karasuma internally sighed.

So, in the end, this was the extent of the Kyoto sniper plan.

"Hey, Agent K!" Knowing that was Eddy's nickname for him, Karasuma looked up and saw the short Ed-boy pointing his paddle at him, challenging him. "Think you could take us on?"

'Aw, what the hell. No more horning in on their field trip. This is supposed to be their time, after all.' Karasuma smiled as he got up and joined them in their game. "You're got it, Eddy, but I'll warn you, I'm pretty good."

At this point, Karasuma decided that they couldn't tax their school trip any further. From here on out, this was their time.

---

(Hallway)

"I'm just gonna say it. This place is a dump." Okajima complained as he, Nagisa, Edric, Sugino, and Ed walked down the hallway. "Why do we gotta sleep in two dorm rooms separated by gender? The kids in all the other classes get put up in their fancy suites."

"Speak for yourself, this is me and Ed's first time in a Japanese inn. And we're enjoying it." Edric said as they were about to turn a corner.

"Yeah, Edric right. Personally, I think it's more fun this…way?" Nagisa said before they all stopped for a moment when they saw Nakamura and Fuwa walking down towards the men's bathroom. When they followed the girls, they came across them crouching next to the Japanese door to the men's bath.

"Hello?" Ed said, starting the girls a little.

"What are you two doing?" Edric asked before Fuwa quickly shushed him.

"What does it look like we're doing?" Nakamura said, as both girls smiled mischievously. "Trying to sneak a peek."

"What?!" Nagisa exclaimed.

"Wait, that supposed to be our job!" Okajima looked surprised and pointed at himself.

"That's right! Don't steal our only reason for this trip! We needed this after the crap on planning these assassination routes and my group didn't get a chance! You freakin' perverts!" Edric shouted dramatically.

"It's nobody's job, you two." Nagisa told the two as he and Sugino looked at them while Ed wasn't bothered by it.

"Either way, can you really resist?" Nakamura asked, opening the door. The girls entered first before the boys decided to follow. Upon entering, they saw Korosensei's uniform neatly hung up, with his white shirt folded, his tie rolled up, and his hat set down. "Look at the way that outfit is hung. That could only mean one thing."

"He's pooping." Ed said after a moment of thought, making the boys look at him weirdly.

"No, Ed. It means we're about to see what he looks like naked. This may be our only opportunity." Nakamura said, as they made their way towards the closed bathtub door. "Does he have a proper body or is it tentacles all the way down. And it's not creepy because we need all the intel on Koro Sensei we can get."

"Not interested in seeing our teacher naked, pervs." Edric was about to leave until Ed grabbed hold of him and draggin him with them. "Oi!"

"Can we all agree that this isn't the least bit sexy?" Okajima asked.

Nakamura then grabbed the handle and slid open the door…

And saw Koro Sensei in the tub, taking a bubble bath. The way he was scrubbing one of his tentacles with a brush, and his skin turning pink made them weirded out, especially Nakamura.

"IS HE A CHICK!?" Nakamura shouted.

"Oh, hello, children." Koro Sensei said, not bothered by the fact that his students were intruding on him.

"Are you taking a bubble bath in a public restroom?" Sugino asked, deadpanning at the sight.

"We're not supposed to put anything in the water, sir." Nagisa told him, deadpanned also.

"Worry not, this is just my mucus." Koro Sensei assured the kids, but it confused them more. "On contact with water, it works up a nice lather and acts as an exfoliate.

"So is that a pro or a con?" Sugino asked,

"If Double D were here right now, he would love to have something like that." Edric said. Then Nakamura chuckled but still shaken up from earlier.

"Yeah. Fascinating. But you let your guard down, sir, and we're blocking the exit." She said, before pulling out her Anti-Sensei knife from her sleeve. "You'll come slopping out eventually. When you do, you'll have to walk by us. We may not kill you, but we'll see you naked!"

"This simply will not do!" Korosensei proclaimed, before taking them all back in shock when he stood up from the tub. Around his entire body was a giant, green square mass of an unknown, jellylike substance. "A-ha!"

"WHAT THE HELL'S THAT!?" Nakamura shouted.

"Jelly broth, my dear! Now if you'll excuse me. Nurfufufufufufu!" Koro Sensei then made his escape by jumping out of the open window behind him. Fitting the jelly through it, and disappearing into the night, all while giggling. The others were still as they stared at the open window.

"Alrighty, then." Nagisa can't help but say.

"That's some good writing there." Ed said with a goofing smile

"Well, that was lame. Can we peep on a woman next time, please?" Okajima rhetorically asked.

"Travel sure brings out another side of people." Nagisa smiled. "I know I'm learning a lot."

"Sucks, we still don't know what Koro Sensei looks like under his clothes, though." Okajima complained.

"Can we go back to the room now?" Sugino asked.

"Agreed, this is a total waste of time. Saw it a mile away." Edric said, getting out of Ed's hold and walking away.

---

(Boy's Room)

After that little bath-meet with Koro Sensei, Edric and the others went back to their assigned room. When they did, Edric saw the other male students gathered around with a piece of paper on the floor. Edric raised an eyebrow upon seeing this sight before him.

"Oi. What are you guys doing with that paper?" Edric asked, getting their attention. "Playing hang-man?"

"No, we're doing a ranking of girls that we're interested in." Maehara explained to the boys that just came in. "Right now, Kanzaki's in the top spot. No surprise there."

"Well, yeah. Everyone likes her." Mimura replied.

"I know." Maehara then looked over at Sugino. "Pretty slick to pull her into your group, Sugino."

"I was hoping me and her would have a chance to talk a little on this trip?" Sugino told the other boys, placing his hands behind his head. "But then all the crap that went down with the girls and Edric getting kidnapped, so no dice."

"Suck to be you, man." Maehara nodded as he understood. "Better luck next time, I guess."

"Dudes, you're killing me!" Mimura reached and grabbed the list. "Can we just get back to who has the hots for who?"

"DON'T ASK ME TO CHOOSE!" Okajima shouted, freaking out as he grabbed his head and paced around. "I CAN'T DO IT! NO! NO! NO!"

"You're exempted." Mimiura stated.

"So, what about you?" Eddy asked, grinning at Nagisa, making the nervous blue-haired boy flinch. "You got the hots for a special lady?"

"Huh? Uh…I don't really know." Nagisa shuddered.

"Chotto matte, Eddy." Edric said, crossing his arms in his sleeves. "If you're asking him, then you have to spill the beans about yours."

"He said it was Nakamura. All we need is Ed, Double D, Nagisa and you." Maehara tells him as Karma comes in with a can of lemonade. "So Edric, who do you like?"

"Well, that shouldn't be too hard to figure out." Karma said. "It's obviously Yada."

"Eh?" Edric blinked after hearing that.

"Oh, come now, Edric." Double D said with a knowing smile. "It's clear that out of all of our female classmates, you enjoy Yada's company the most. When we're not partnered, she's your next pick. And you wanted her to join your group."

"Oi, oi, oi! That's not it at all!" Edric waves them off. "I just asked her when she's nearby, that's all. Plus, she's got a massive rack! Far compared to Kanzaki's–!"

WHAM!

"Dude, seriously!" Okajima shouted, grabbing Edric's shoulders, knocking him out of balance for a moment. "Are you telling us that you felt Kanzaki's boobs!?"

"NANI?!" Most of the boys sans Nagisa, Karma and the other Eds shouted in disbelief.

"I'm afraid it's true." Double D clarified, much to their surprise. "Before the trip, Edric decided for us to go to the local arcade for some off time."

"And we're surprised to see Kanzaki there." Eddy tells them, withholding part of Kanzaki's change of appearance that day. "But our biggest surprise is that our scarred friend here had the guts to grope her."

"And boy did she hit him on the head." Ed said, smiling like a simpleton.

"KISAMA!" Okajima was so jealous that he would strangle Edric right now, if weren't the latter held him off with one hand. "To feel the boobs of the most beautiful girl in class! I'm so extremely jealous!"

"Yeah! When I think how lucky dillweeds like you are, it drives me crazy!" Mimura exclaimed.

"Haha! You guys need to step up your game if you want to have the goods!" Edric mockily said, laughing maniacally.

"Please Edric, control yourself." Double D scolds him.

"Well, enough of that, we're agreeing to keep these ratings just between us, yeah?" Isogai asked, picking up the list and making a hush gesture.

"Of course, we're not stupid." Eddy said. "Except for Ed."

"So absolutely nothing of what we're saying leaves this room? If this information got out, we'd have a real…problem…" Isogai stopped when he saw something unusual by the door. All the boys followed his gaze and saw a pink Koro Sensei in his robes looking into the room from the slightly opened door.

"Don't mind me. Just passing by." Koro Sensei whispered. He then pulled out a notebook and wrote in it before closing the door.

Right after listening to everything the boys talked about…

And writing it down…

"OH, NO HE DIDN'T!" Sugaya shouted.

"KILL'IM!" Maehara declared.

The group of angry boys ran out of the room and chased after the octopus-like teacher. Koro Sensei, however, was using Mach 20 to make his escape, laughing maniacally.

"If I can't get the low-down on juicy gossip this, what's Mach 20 good for?!" Koro Sensei said.

Korosensei's Weak Point #12: Loves gossip.

"GET BACK HERE! YOU STALKING OCTOPUS!" Edric shouted, running ahead of the group with his Anti-Sensei bokuto in hand.

---

(Girl's Room)

Meanwhile, the girls of E-Class were gathered around in the middle of the room like the boys did a few moments ago. Nakamura decided that the girls should talk about which boys they like and gossip about them while they're here.

"Ew. Who wants to talk about boys?" Kataoka asked, disapproving this idea.

"Ugh, c'mon. That's what girls talk about on trips like these. Don't be a party pooper." Nakamura scoffed at Kataoka's question, standing in the middle of the group.

"I'll start!" Kurashashi raised her hand with a beaming smile. "I've got a huge crush on Karasuma sensei."

"Honey, there's no one here who doesn't have a thing for that man." Nakamura replied with her arms crossed. "I'm talking about boys in our class that we think are hotties."

"Aw." Kurahashi lowered her hand, a bit disappointed.

"Whatever, I'll get the ball rolling." Nakamura sighed. "Eddy's half-decent, I guess."

"Gross, you actually like one of the Eds?" Kataoka asked, as some of the girls were also a little surprised by the blonde's answer.

"Why not? Let's face it, out of all the people in the classroom, the Eds are the most interesting." Nakamura tells the girls. "Eddy is kind of like their leader, and he brings a lot of personality."

"Out of the four of them, I think I like Ed the most." Fuwa said. Now the girls were looking at her as if she was crazy. She blushed and quickly waved her hands. "NO! NO! I just think of him as like a giant, huggable dummy."

"Yeah, Ed seems to be the friendliest of the bunch." Kanzaki said. "I mean, the four of them are nice."

But then they remembered all the things they told them about on the train.

"Even if they're human time bombs." Okano said in exasperation.

"True." They all said.

"Come on," Okuda said with a smile. "I don't think they're that bad. I mean Double D's calm and collective."

"Yeah, and they do keep things interesting." Kayano said.

"And defy all the laws of physics." Hayami countered.

"Who'd you pick, Kanzaki?" Kayano asked, turning to Kanzaki.

"Uh…" Kanzaki was about to answer until Edric came to her mind. "Well…there is one…"

"Well, come out with it." Kayano said, curious about it.

"And don't forget about a certain someone?" Nakamura grinned mischievously and looked over at Yada, who was sitting with Kayano and Kanzaki. All the other girls looked towards her, making her feel a little uncomfortable.

"Ah. What is it?" Yada asked, sweating a little.

"Don't you think it's a little odd that we're sitting here, talking about what boy we like? Then we switched over to which one of the Eds we like, and you haven't even said a word, about the one boy we haven't talked about?" Nakamura clarified, with a grin and her hand under her chin.

Yada was quiet for a moment. Trying to figure out what they were all talking about. Liking one of the Eds? Nakamura would like Eddy, then Fuwa thought that Ed was friendly. Okuda said something about Double D. That would mean…

Her face instantly turned pink when the 4th Ed came to mind.

"Uh, I don't know what you're talking about." She quickly lied.

"I knew it! You totally like Edric!" Kayano said, grinning and pointing a finger at her.

"HUH?! It's not whatever you're thinking! I don't think of him like that!" Yada yelled with her face turning even pinker. She scooted back, as the girls moved closer to her. Then she tried to change the subject to Kanzaki. "What about Kanzaki? She didn't give hers."

"Then we'll just have to make you two say it!" Kayano then jumped at her and pushed Yada and Kanzaki to the ground. They screamed, then Nakamura joined in and started tickling the helpless girls at their mercy as they laughed uncontrollably. "Don't be prude, you two! Spill it!"

"You know you don't have a choice!"

"They all worship you, Kanzaki!"

"Who would you go out with?"

"Tell us!"

"Seriously, you guys! Knock it off!" Kanzaki and Yada cried out, unable to stop laughing or get them to stop tickling them, as they held their arms and prevented the two from moving.

"Okay, girls. Settle down."

But then they stopped when they heard the familiar voice of Professor Bitch. The four looked towards the direction of the voice and saw her at the open door. She was wearing the same robes as everyone else, though it showed a bit of her cleavage, and she was carrying a pack of beer.

"I'm supposed to tell you 'lights out', so, I don't know, at least pretend to be asleep?" Professor Bitch tells them.

"Wow, way to chaperone there." Nakamura said, as Yada stood up while Kanzaki laid there.

"We all know that you're just going to stay up jibber-jabbering, just keep the antics to a dull roar, okay?" She was about to close the sliding door when Kurahashi crawled over.

"Hang on, how come you get to drink beer, meanie?" She complained.

"I'm an adult, sweetie." Professor Bitch told her. "Adults get to drink beer."

"Why don't you stay up with us? You can tell us some adult stories." Yada suggested, surprising the female teacher.

"Huh?" Professor Bitch said.

"We'd probably get more out of them than your usual classes." Kurahashi joked happily, as Yada got up and approached Irina.

"Why you trashy little ginger…" Professor Bitch was going to insult, but Yada got behind her and started to push her towards the other.

"Now, now. Don't get bent out of shape." The busty girl said with a smile. Secretly thanking god that the conversation about her and Edric was changed.

---

(3 minutes later)

After bringing in all sorts of junk food, the girls all gathered around Professor Bitch for stories.

"EEEHHHH!?"

"No way! You're only 20?!" Nakamura exclaimed, Professor bitch was sitting against the wall.

"You look great, it's just that you're so…experienced." Kataoka said.

"I know, right?" Okano said. "And the whole black widow vibe."

"Ladies, I wouldn't have gotten far in this line of work if I wasn't—" Professor Bitch was boasting at first, but then she snapped angrily. "—WHO THE HELL JUST CALLED ME A BLACK WIDOW?!"

"Delayed reaction, much?" Nakamura deadpanned.

"Whatever. Point is, if I teach you nothing else. You should know sex appeal is skin deep and by the time yoi get it, it fades." Professor Bitch reached over and grabbed a snack. She looked at the piece of food before continuing. "In a place like the one I was born in, you learn that all too quickly."

The girls all looked at each other a little surprised.

"Professor Bitch actually said something profound for a change." Okano said.

"Sounds like BS." Nakamura said, looked at Professor Bitch with doubt

"I HEARD THAT, YOU HUSSY!" Professor Bitch snapped.

"Oh, just ignore her. Tell us about all the rich men you seduced to kill!" Yada asked, leaning in with anticipation. "That's what we're dying to hear!"

"Yeah! I totally second that!" Kurahashi excitedly raised her hand. Professor Bitch seemed pleased that they were taking an interest in her and giggled.

"Hmph. Well, if you insist. Be warned, my life story might be a bit spicy for girls like you." She told them with a smirk, before gazing from left to right at each of the girls. "It all began at the tender age of 17…"

She halted her story when she saw a pink Koro Sensei sitting with the girls.

"I DON'T THINK SO PAL!" She yelled, as the girls next to him, Kayano and Hara, turned to him with shocked expressions. "You've got a lot of balls helping yourself to our girl talk!"

"Aw! But I want to hear your stories, too!" Koro Sensei insisted, but the pink face of his was saying that he was there to hear something else. "Why can't an impartial observer get in on this action?"

"Ha! You never tell us about your love life! If you wanna sit there and listen, fine, but give us the goods!" Nakamura retorted. Then all the girls started to point at him, as they said their points and demands, making Koro Sensei increasingly nervous.

"She's right. It's only fair, you know!" Kurahashi said.

"We know you've got a romance in there somewhere!" Okano said.

"You like giant boobs!" Nakamura pointed out. "You must at least have a crush on somebody!"

Koro Sensei laughed sheepishly, as he tried to think of a good explanation or even a good lie. But in the end, he couldn't. All he did then was sped out of the room.

WHOOSH!

"Oh, no he didn't!" Nakamura exclaimed angrily, as the girls glared towards the opened door and quickly pulled out their Anti-Sensei knives.

"Catch him!" Professor Bitch ordered all the girls, and they actually obeyed and charged out of the room. "Make him sing, and then cut his throat!"

Outside in the hallway, Koro Sensei was able to escape for a moment and backed up into a corner in the hallway.

"Oi! There he is!"

Koro Sensei felt himself almost jump out of his skin when he heard Edric's voice. He looked to his right and saw all the boys charging down towards him from one way. He then turned back to the way he just came from and saw all the girls charging at him too. He was trapped in the corner.

"Rats! Caught in a pincer attack!"

When they got close to him, all the kids that were in front of the angry mobs jumped at him.

---

(4th Wallbreak)

Then the scene stopped.

"Yeah I'm not gonna go into details, but basically, we didn't kill him. The manager then got complaints from the other guests. And we were all forced into one room." Edric said to the readers.

---

(Later)

The next scene shows all the girls and boys in one common room. The room was understandably divided, with each gender on one side of the room. Some questioned how this was better, but seeing as there was an awkward silence in the area, the idea didn't seem all that mind-boggling.

"Way to go, boys." Kataoka groaned, sitting on her sleeping bag while hugging her legs to her chest and resting her chin on her knees.

"You also chased after him." Isogai pointed out.

"So, what are we going to do now?" Maehara asked. Just then, Ed got an idea and stood up.

"I know, let's tell a story!" Ed proposed.

The students all looked at each other as if wondering if they were all cool with the idea. But then again, this could be their chance to finally know about one thing that's been plaguing their minds for a while. The only reason they didn't bring it up was that the opportunity never presented itself.

"Okay, then how about you tell us something." Isogai said, as the girls moved over to the boys' side. They all gathered around the Eds, staring at them with great interest. "How did the four of you meet?"

The Eds stared at them a little taken back, before glancing at each other. Have they really not told them how they met?

"Oh! Oh! I remember!" Ed exclaimed excitedly, before grabbing the edge of the screen. "As if it was only yesterday."

He was about to pull in another scene into the frame, which would have brought everyone into the flashback when suddenly…

BONK!

"YAMERO!"

Edric slammed his fist on Ed's head, pushing it back into his body. He then pushed the flashback scene back away. The other students of E-Class just watched with eyes as wide as they could go, beyond astonishing by what was happening.

"We are not going through that crap again!" Edric shouted, Ed's head popped back out of his body, with a bump on it. "Just tell them as it is!"

"Well then, I guess I'll start." Eddy then started off the story. "So basically, me and Ed were the first ones to move into the Cul-De-Sac when we were still babies. We only had each other, so we hit it off easily."

"Then I came into the picture." Double D said, taking over as a storyteller. "I've come across my fellow compatriots when Eddy was doing his first scam."

"Oh yeah! My Bottomless ED scam!" Eddy exclaimed with a grin.

"Bottomless ED?" Kanzaki asked.

Eddy snickered like he usually did, before getting up and running out of the room. When he came back, the short Ed-boy placed a TV he pulled out of nowhere in front of Ed and handed him a fork.

"Be amazed, kids. Watch Bottomless Ed eat this humongous TV set!" He said the schtick, grabbing Ed's lower jaw and pulling it down, stretching it all the way down to the floor. Ed smiled and looked down at the TV. "For you, only a quarter."

The other students looked at him like he was crazy.

"You're crazy!" Kataoka exclaimed in a matter-of-fact manner. "There's no way—GOOD LORD!"

She and the others were suddenly shocked and freaked out at the same time. As they saw Ed had actually eaten the TV. His left cheek held it, with his cheek having a similar shape as the device, before swallowing it down in one gulp.

"Tangy." Ed said with his dimwitted attitude, before using his robe as a napkin and patted his lips. Everyone but the Eds stared at him with blank, white eyes.

"Okay, that is a ligament superpower." Fuwa said.

"I've seen him eat a bed. And because they all shared the same name and were the only kids at the time, these guys became friends and were practically inseparable. I would come years later, about two years ago." Edric said with a smile and shook his head. All heads were turned towards him. "It was also the day I would meet every kid in the Cul-de-Sac. It's an event I like to call…"

"Why do you like to give many of the adventures you guys go by a name?" Nagisa asked.

"Yeah, and why is Ed always in the title?" Kayano asked.

"Trust me, if you don't, then you easily forget them." Edric explained. "Plus, it's fun to use Ed in the title. It's an event I like to call...Who, What, Where, ED."

(Flashback: Cul-De-Sac - 2 years ago)

It was a sunny day for the residents of Rethink Avenue. For a place that is known for the personal playground for the kids living there, the Cul-De-Sac was oddly silent. Around late morning, the front door of the new house opened, with Edric stepping out of the doorway.

He was wearing his favorite Gintama T-shirt with a red kimono in flame design, black pants, black and red sneakers and wore a belt with a toy katana hanging from it.

He looked around the Cul-de-Sac for any of the kids. He was told by his mom to go out and make friends. He didn't want to and rather read Jump and watch TV. feeling that no one would ever want to be friends with a kid with a scar and dead fish eyes. It's been almost a month since it healed, but his mom would still tell him that he's not going to find people who'd like him despite his looks if he didn't try.

But Edric saw no one around the neighborhood despite it's summer vacation.

"What a pain." Edric groaned, placing his hand on his toy sword. "No one is gonna be friends with me. Not with this scar of mine."

However, when he looked to his left, he saw a person running down the street in his direction. It was Ed, running his way to Double D's house in his laughing manner. Just as Ed was about to run past Edric, he stopped in place right in front of him. Ed stared at him with wide eyes, and it made Edric weirded out.

"Woah." Ed turned his body to face him completely. He then smiled. "You look so cool!"

"Eh?" Edric couldn't help but be surprised.

"You're like one of those mutant samurai from the Atomic Wars of the Shogun!" Ed then stated in his classic Ed way.

But for Edric, he looked at the tall boy with a more weirded-out expression. He was called many things after he got his scar, but he's never been called anything like that by his outfit. He really didn't know how to even react to the stranger.

"Hi, there. I am Ed! You want to be friends?" Ed held out his smelly, dirty hand. Edric looked at the unclean hand with disgust, before smiling nervously at Ed. He reached out a hand slowly, before grabbing the dirty hand and giving it a shake.

"Edric." Edrc introduced himself, then tried to pull his hand away, but Ed didn't let go. Boy, did he really have a strong grip.

"We have the same name!" Ed said cheerfully, much to Edric's confusion before pulling him off his feet and running off down the street again. Edric was hovering off the sidewalk like a kite. " Come on, new friend! I've got to show you to my friends!"

'How did it come to this?' Edric thought, taken back by Ed's unusual strength.

---

(Double D's House - Kitchen)

Ed then opened the door of Double D's house, dragging in Edric, who was on his stomach and was having his face dragged across the floor. They were in the kitchen of. The two remaining Ed-boys were at the kitchen counter cooking.

"It's about time, Ed." Eddy said, wearing a chief's hat as he stood over a stove.

Double D then looked towards Ed and noticed Edric, who was still lying face down on the floor with Ed holding his arm. He groaned in pain.

"Ed, who's that?" the smart Ed-boy asked.

"This is my new friend, Edric the Mutant!" Ed proclaimed as he held up Edric by his arm to show the other two. Double D gasped at the sight of Eric's eyes and scar.

"Mutant Janai! Samurai da! Teme!" Edric glared at Ed, who didn't understand what he was saying.

"Then what's with your eyes and that scar?" Eddy demanded, rudely.

"Eddy! Please! Be sensitive." Double D scolded his friend with a glare. He walked up to Edric, who was placed on his feet and smiled at the new kid. "Welcome to the neighborhood, friend! I'm so happy to be meeting a new member of our community. My name is Eddward, only it's spelled with two D's. You can call me Double D."

Eddy then came over with a smile and held out his hand, which was a joy buzzer. Double D saw it and yanked it off. Eddy grumbled and held out his hand again.

"I'm Eddy." He groaned, having his fun ruined. Edric shook his hand while surprised that they had Ed in their names like Ed said earlier.

"Edric." Edric said, before looking around the kitchen. "So, what are you all doing?"

"I'm playing with my yo-yo." Ed said, before pulling out a yo-yo toy and started swinging it around. "Boy, I'm good! Yo-yo, yo yo yo, yo..."

"That's not how you play with it!" Edric retorted.

"We're making omelets for breakfast." Double D said, walking back over to the counter, where a stick of butter is along with the cookbook. He read the book then picked up a teaspoon and scooped out some of the butter. "Just as I thought. One teaspoon of butter, perfectly measured. Eddy?"

"Got it, Double D."

Eddy grabbed the entire stick of butter with a mitten, instead of the teaspoon. Edric watched from behind, as Eddy threw the butter onto a pan and started flipping and cooking it.

"You guys haven't lived till you've tried one of my omelets." He proclaimed, before shaking salt onto it. "Ed, eggs, I need eggs!"

"I got 'em, Eddy!" Ed ran towards the refrigerator while swinging the yo-yo, only for him to tie himself up in the string and fell over with a thud. The dumb boy laughed and picked himself up, still entangled in the string. "Almost there, Eddy!"

Ed attempted to walk forward but fell over again. Edric watched Ed's antics and couldn't help but laugh at poor's Eds tangled up by his own yo-yo.

"Ed! You're pitting the floor!" Double D complained.

"Aw no way, Double D, not since I had my braces removed." Ed insisted as he hit his back to the fridge, as he was able to get most of the string off.

"Eggs, Ed, eggs!" Eddy exclaimed.

"Eggs, eggs, eggs, eggs, eggs, eggs, eggs." Ed opened the freezer. He looked around the inside, before stopping when he noticed a popsicle. "Pop freeze!"

As he was putting in way too much salt in the pan, which was now a mound of salt, Eddy turned to Edric.

"Make yourself useful and look in the fridge for the eggs. It's next to the milk." Eddy tells him while Edric sweatdropped at the amount of salt spilling from the pan.

"Fine, but be nicer next time." Edric walked over to the fridge. He opened the door to the fridge, while Ed had his tongue stuck to the popsicle. Eric then pulled out the egg carton. "Got them!"

"Bring 'em over, I'm starving!" Eddy said.

"Let's get moving, Ed." Edric said, smiling as he walked back to the others.

"I'm Ed!" Ed ran to follow Edric, but his tongue was still stuck to the popsicle. And the popsicle was stuck to the inside of the fridge. This caused the fridge to knock over. It stopped Ed with a yank of his tongue, and he was pulled back.

The reaction caused one of Ed's feet to kick Edric in the butt, which caused him to fall and release the eggs. Sending them flying all over the place towards Eddy and Double D. One egg knocked off Eddy's hat. Eddy then used the pan to protect himself and Double D was holding a cookbook over his head. However, they were pelted to the floor by the barrage of eggs, making a large mess in the kitchen.

After the mayhem ended, Eddy got up and looked towards Ed.

"Hmm. Ed? Oh, Ed?" He fake-smiled and walked over to the large boy, holding a frying pan behind his back. Ed was on the floor, holding his treat. His tongue, however, was still stuck to the popsicle and stretched out.

"Banana flavor, Eddy! Wanna bite?" Ed asked.

"Hold that thought." Eddy then smashed Ed in the face with the frying pan.

BLAM!

As that was going on, Edric and Double D got up from the floor and tried to clean off the egg yolk and shells.

"No eggs, no omelets, Eddy." The smart Ed-boy said.

"Too bad we don't have any chickens with us. We'd be having another batch of them instead of getting some in the store." Edric grumbled, rubbing his rear from the kick. However, this unintentionally caused Eddy to get an idea.

"A chicken! That's it!" He exclaimed with a grin, moving up close to Edric as the latter raised an eyebrow.

"A chicken!"

CRASH!

Ed then suddenly leaped onto Eddy while Edric and Double D winced.

"Oh, please Eddy, can we get a chicken? C'mon Eddy! Oh, please Eddy let's get a chicken. Can we please?" Ed continued to beg and plead while jumping up and down on Eddy on all fours, making Eddy squeak like a chew toy. "I love chickens, Eddy!"

"Sure, Ed, you can have a chicken." Eddy said after recovering from the multiple jumps on his body. Ed smiled happily, while the short Ed-boy smiled sinisterly. "But I get to keep the eggs."

"This keeps getting weirder and weirder." Edric comments as he follows his newly weird friends.

---

(Present)

"And that is how I first met the Eds." Edric explained. "Afterwards, we headed over to Rolf's place to get the egg."

"Who's Rolf?" Isogai asked.

"Rolf is one of our neighbors." Double D took over to explain. "He's an immigrant from a faraway land and culture that he refers to as the Old Country."

"He's a complete nut!" Eddy exclaimed, throwing his arms up. "Wherever he came from, they do the weirdest things you'll ever see."

"But out of most of the kids, he doesn't seem to mind us." Edric said before sighing and crossing his arms again. "Well, unless we do anything to provoke him, let me tell you. You don't want to get him mad."

"And so, the Eds arrived at Rolf's to get a cute and cuddly chicken." Ed narrates, starting back up the story.

---

(Flashback: Rolf's Farm)

The Eds came to the home that would be known as to the latter as Rolf's home, Edric was surprised to see that the whole backyard was like looking at a mini-farm. There was a shed, with many animals either out free or in their pens. Standing at the wooden fence with his new friends, Edric looked and saw a blue haired kid with a yellow t-shirt with a red horizontal stripe, light blue jeans, and red and cream shoes.

That would be Rolf.

Rolf walked to a sleeping chicken, sitting on its nest in a bucket, and suddenly grabbed it and picked it up. With the animal held up, he reached into the bucket.

"The hay is warm and tells Rolf all." Rolf said, before pulling out a perfectly laid egg. "Ah. The fat has been creamed, and I will sleep well."

He then looked at his chicken.

"A fine egg. Rolf will remember." Rolf said.

---

(4th Wallbreak)

The scene froze gray with a bit of static.

"Wait, what?" Nagisa asked in confusion.

"That's just how Rolf talked." Edric said before the story continued.

---

"Look! Chickens!" Ed shouted happily.

"And they lay eggs!" Eddy exclaimed with a joyful grin. Ed went between the fence, as Eddy and Edric jumped over. "Hey, Rolf, fire over that egg-maker!"

"Chickens are fast." Rolf just watched as Ed chased around a chicken. Edric walked up to Rolf and attempted to greet him.

"Yo, I'm Edric, and I'm new to the neighborhood…?" He stopped talking when Rolf leaned in close to Edric's face and examined him.

"Ho-ho! A new face in these parts bears the mighty scar, the eyes of a dead fish, and the same name as the Ed-boys, Edric the scar Ed-boy." Rolf told Edric, which only confused the dead fish eye boy. "I am Rolf, the son of a shepherd."

"Yeah, yeah." Eddy impatiently pushed Edric out of the way and held out his hands as if expecting Rolf to give him the chicken. "C'mon Rolf, give us a chicken!"

"Rude much." Edric muttered, dusting his kimono.

"Has your brain turned to custard-like half-priced pastry, Ed-boy? I give you no chickens!" Rolf's unwillingness made Ed drop all the many chickens he's picked up and carried. "It is very simple, like yourself. You hatch your own fowl."

"An opportunity to nurture the life and future of a domestic fowl seems appealing," Double D said, thinking about it for a quick moment.

"Meh, sounds like a lot of work to me." Edric said, crossing his arms in his sleeves.

"Where do eggs come from, Rolf?" Ed asked.

"Let me show you exactly where the egg comes from–" Rolf responded while also picking up a chicken.

"NO!" Double D shouted, stopping Rolf from going through with the demonstration. "Um...eggs come from chickens, Ed."

"Where does a chicken come from?" Ed looked up and thought for a moment.

"An egg, slowpoke Ed!" Rolf said, walking away from the four boys. "My day is half over and you are half full. Goodbye."

"Wait! Rolf!" Eddy called out urgently and rushed over to get in front of Rolf and place a hand on his chest. Stopping Rolf. "How 'bout that egg?"

He attempted to snatch it out of his hand, but the much taller boy held it out of his reach.

"You must trade for the egg, greasy Ed-boy." Rolf told Eddy.

"Trade? For what?" Eddy questioned unhappily.

"Sawdust. You want this egg, yes, Ed-boy?" Rolf asked once again, leaning closer to the shorter Ed.

---

(Present)

"And so, after that, we would go and attempt to get the sawdust." Double D said. "But then we were stopped by another kid named Jonny."

"Why did he stop you? Sumire asked.

"It's because of the hunk of wood he's always carrying around." Eddy responded.

"Huh?" The kids all tilted their heads.

"Jonny is basically your public nuisance. Frequently getting on the other's nerves," Edric explained. "He's this weird kid that carries around this wooden board he named Plank around. That's why he's called Jonny 2x4."

"So, like an imaginary friend." Yada assumed.

"Yeah, but there are times that I've questioned if that piece of wood is alive or not." Edric said, still boggles him to this day.

"Oh, is it that Plank was once part of an evil tree." Ed guessed with a grin. Then, surprisingly, Fuwa also pitched in on the idea.

"An evil tree that was cut down to be used in the construction of the house." She said with an excited smile. Ed and Fuwa looked at one another and grinned happily.

"But they didn't use all the pieces, leaving only one piece behind! So, using his evil powers, he made contact with Jonny telepathically."

"But Jonny was the only one who could hear him, and so he's been using him as his puppet, pretending to be his friend!"

Ed and Fuwa then looked at Edric with smiles on their faces. Edric looked at them with wide, shocked eyes. Though the girl wasn't like Ed in many, many ways, Fuwa appeared to have the same big love of comics. And he was surprised how well Ed and Fuwa were agreeing and making up an outrageous theory.

"Yeah, back to the story." Edric said, turning back to the audience.

---

(Flashback: Front lawn)

The Eds were ready to begin collecting the sawdust for the trade. Ed and Edric were on each side of a two-person saw that was in the position to cut a log that was elevated off the ground on two wooden stands. Double D and Eddy were the ones that were going to be collecting the sawdust. The smart Ed-boy had a measuring cup, while the short one held a funnel.

"We'll have a chicken in no time!" Eddy exclaimed.

"I love chickens, Eddy!" Ed said.

"Hai hai, you said that for the umptieth time, Ed." Edric groaned, feeling his arms going numb as he held onto the saw handle. "But do know that my arms are falling asleep here so hurry it up!"

"The sawdust collector is ready. Let's go boys!" Eddy said, as he and Double D got down on their stomachs and laid under the log. Eddy then placed the funnel in the cup. Ed then started sawing into the log. The dust of wood slowly collected in the cup, going into the funnel and being transferred in the cup. "I'd hate to do this for a living."

But while the big Ed-boy was having no problem, Edric, on the other hand, wasn't prepared for the gorilla-like strength Ed had. He was being pulled back and forth. Getting his face and torso slammed against the log on every pull. He tried to control it and dug his feet to the ground but alas, he kept dragging and dragging.

"Stop!"

A new voice cried out, running towards them. Edric looked and saw a boy with brown skin, a bald head with many bristles of hair, and a green-colored tongue running towards them. But what was most strange to Edric, was that he was carrying a yellow piece of wood that looked like it had a simple face drawn on it. With a blue curved line for a mouth, red circles for eyes, and blue dots for pupils. There was also a chip in the upper right corner of the 'head'.

This is Jonny 2x4 and the piece of wood is Plank.

"Stop sawing that log!" Jonny demanded with a pointed figure.

"Who the hell is he?" Edric said but no one answered.

"How else are we supposed to get sawdust?" Eddy questioned him. "Maybe Plank'd like to contribute."

"Oh no." This seemed to frighten Jonny as he held the hunk of wood tightly. He then held Plank close to his ear. "Plank says–"

"…" Plank said. Which was nothing at all.

"–Kevin has lots of sawdust!" Jonny told the Eds.

"Kevin's got sawdust? Remind me to thank you!" Eddy asked excitedly, came up to Jonny and pointed a finger into his chest. He then ran past the bald kid. "Later!"

Double D followed after Eddy, and finally, Ed ran while carrying Edric on his shoulder. Edric was facing backward as Ed carried him, so he was able to stare back at Jonny. He pointed at the kid.

"Was that kid talking to a piece of wood?" Edric asked.

"I'm getting a chicken!" Ed said, ignoring the samurai boy.

---

(Present)

"After that, we went to go see Kevin, who was the local jock." Edric said then sighs. "And the one person who for the longest time hated us the most."

"Why would he hate you?" Karma asked, but with his voice, the Eds couldn't tell if he was being sincere or joking.

"I'll give you a few guesses." Double D said rhetorically.

"Yeah, before last summer, Kevin wasn't the biggest fan of us because of the scams we did. Most of the time when he wasn't dealing with us, he was always on his stupid bike." Eddy said. "But don't worry, we're on better terms now."

---

(Flashback: Kevin's Backyard)

In Kevin's backyard, the boy lugged out a trash can filled with sawdust out of his shed. Kevin has light peach skin, light green eyes, and a red/orange tongue and wears a long-sleeved lime green shirt, black shorts/shoes and a red baseball hat with a black peak backwards.

"Sawdust bites." he complained, stopping for a moment to wipe his sweaty brow. "Doing chores bites."

"Excuse me, Kevin." Double D said, as the Eds stood behind him. "But we would like to offer our services and help you dispose of that–"

"Hey, dorks, who's the new freaky kid?" Kevin mocked, pointing at Edric. He chuckled, making Edric look rather irritated by it. Double D, however, didn't like the remark towards his new friend.

"Well, I don't think that was very—" He was interrupted again when Eddy jumped in front of him.

"Give us your sawdust, Kevin! I mean, sawdust is so heavy. And it's just lying around, doing nothing." He then calmed down for a moment and used his experience as a scammer. Eddy walked up to Kevin with a sly grin and placed a hand on Kevin's shoulder. The jock didn't look all too impressed, as Eddy pointed at his chest. "Useless dust. From a saw. Eh?"

"And our respect for wood by-products will ensure it will be distributed to a loving home." Double D ensured before the Eds grinned nervously. Edric, however, just scowled at Kevin as he crossed his arms.

"Fine. You can have the sawdust," Kevin said.

"YEAH!" The Eds cheered while Edric forgot his anger for a moment. They could complete the task.

"Now we can get my egg!" Eddy exclaimed happily.

"And I can hug a chicken." Ed wrapped up his friends into a big, bone-crushing hug, making them uncomfortable.

"I'll trade you for..." Kevin pointed towards his shed. "…painting my shed."

"Forget it! Do it yourself, konoyaro!" Edric exclaimed as Ed let them go, didn't understand that word.

"No sweat. I'll just take this sawdust and–" Kevin said as he was about to take the sawdust away. Eddy quickly covered Edric's mouth, annoying the dead fish eye boy.

"No, wait um...so where's the paint?" Eddy asked

"What paint?" Kevin asked, acting ignorant as he crossed his arms.

"How do we paint the shed with no paint?" Eddy asked, lean towards Kevin

"You figure it out," Kevin smirked arrogantly, before walking away from the Eds, leaving them shocked. "Dork!"

"Uso!?" Edric muttered, then looking back at the jock. "…teme!"

Edric grabbed his toy katana and was about to kick Kenvin's ass until Ed grabbed him as the Eds went to find some paint.

---

(Present)

"I'm really not starting to like that guy." Yada frowned at how Kevin mocked Eric.

"Then we went to Jimmy's." Ed said. Edric, who was trying to remember that point, snapped his fingers.

"Oh yeah, we did." He said, before explaining to the others. "Jimmy was the crybaby of the Cul-de-Sac. He was accident-prone and the weakest of anyone there. Throughout the entire time I knew him, Jimmy always wore a retainer to rest his teeth."

"What happened to him?" Kimura asked.

"I don't know, Eddy. What happened to him?" Edric glared at his shorter friend, making Eddy's eyes widened.

Eddy then saw all the kids looking at him with suspicious looks and some raised eyebrows. If the way Edric said it was anything to go off of, then Eddy had something to do with Jimmy's conduction.

"S-So anyways, we walked over to good old Jimmy's house!" The Ed-boy laughed nervously, trying to get back to the story.

---

(Flashback: Jimmy's house: Bedroom)

In his bedroom, Jimmy had just finished setting up a bowl of fruit. He has fair skin, magenta eyes and a purple tongue and wore a cyan colored sweater, white pants, black belt, dark brown shoes with black soles, and a brace ring. He was about to do a still-life with a blue painter's hat and was now using his paintbrush to measure the size of the orange. However, he noticed a smudge on an orange. He went up to it and started polishing it.

"Darn waxy buildup. Perfect." Jimmy said after getting the smug off. He was ready to start and zoomed over behind his canvas. Jimmy then started painting. "You're a pretty dog–huh?"

When something wasn't right, he looked back at the still life.

The Eds had taken over his studio. Eddy was posed lying on his side, as Double D and Ed were behind the table, Ed ate a fruit while Edric was sitting in front of the table in a seiza position.

"How's it going, Rembrandt?" asked Eddy.

"Mind if we get a copy?" Edric joked, trying to give a good first impression. However, Jimmy surprised them by grabbing his pants and ran away.

"My fresco is ruined!" Jimmy cried, before running into a closet and locked the door.

"Jimmy, wait!" Eddy jumped towards the door and tried to pull it open. "Just give us some paint! Jimmy, c'mon!"

After no reply from Jimmy and unable to get the door up, Eddy rammed his body against it a few times. He then grabbed Ed and used him as a battering ram, but when Ed hit the door, he was sent out of Eddy's hands.

"How much must an artist suffer? Oh, the torment." Jimmy said, sitting at teh corner of the closet.

Edric then stopped him by placing a hand on Eddy's shoulder and gently pushed him aside.

"Hello there, Jimmy." Edric greeted, as Jimmy heard him from behind the door. "My name is Edric. I'm the new kid here. I was hoping that you could help us."

"Oh, a new friend?" Jimmy seemed to be excited. He opened and smiled at Edric. "Hello—!?"

His positive attitude was diminished when he got a look at Edric's dead fish eye and scar, as the boy grinned happily at him. And the way he wore and had his toy sword, though Jimmy thought it was real, scared the poor boy.

"AAAH! A THUG!" He slammed the door shut.

"Thug Janai! Samurai da!" Edric retorted, before reaching under the door and tried to feel and know where Jimmy was. "Look, if you just take a moment to know—"

CRUNCH!

Pained exploded from his hand, right as Jimmy bit down on his hand.

"YEOW!" Edric shouted as he pulled out his hand, which was red and throbbing. "He bit me! He bit me! Jimmy bit me! Jimmy bit me!"

"A starving artist, I suppose." Double D joked, making Edric glare at him. The smart Ed-boy snickered and marched over to the closet. "I couldn't resist. Pardon me, Jimmy, perhaps we could interest you in a trade?"

"A trade?" Jimmy asked. The Ed-boy placed his ear to the door to hear what Jimmy's response was. "Clams!"

"Clams?" Double D was instant taken back.

"Clams?" Eddy exclaimed.

---

(Present)

"Clams!?" E-Class exclaimed, just as taken back as the Eds were back then.

"Where the heck do you get clams in a suburb!?" Mimura asked.

"That's what I said!" Eddy threw up his hands.

---

(Flashback)

"Where the heck do you get–" Eddy shouted, walking up to the door. But was interrupted when Jimmy opened the door, slamming him into the wall next to the closet.

"No clams, no paint." Jimmy stated, before slamming the door shut. Leaving Eddy imprinted into the wall to groan in pain.

Ed was finishing up all the fruit in the bowl while Double D was concerned for Eddy. Edric was grumbling how Jimmy called him a thug based on how he wore his clothes.

---

(Cul-De-Sac)

The Eds were now outside, to search for clams in this suburb neighborhood. Though it should be near impossible since they're not in a coastline and require money to buy some clams in the stores.

"Clams? What's with clams?" Eddy complained, before the Eds rushed over to a house and rang the doorbell. "Could you spare some clams?"

When they didn't get clams, the four of them ran to another home.

"Pardon me, you wouldn't happen to have any clams, would you?" Double D asked, before they went off to another house.

"Say, you haven't seen any clams around here, have ya?" Eddy asked before they went to yet another house.

"Could we borrow a cup of clams?" Double D asked, and again they rushed to another house, which was the house Edric's family moved into.

"Can Edric come out to play?" Ed asked.

"Oi Ed, I'm right next to ya." Edric said.

"Hi, Eric!" Ed greets.

When the door closed, Edric sighed and shrugged his shoulders.

"This is getting nowhere. No one has any clams in this neighborhood." Edric said, before walking up to his door. "Might as well quit and have lunch. I'm dying for some curry right now."

"We can't give up now!" Eddy said, stopping Edric from grabbing the doorknob. "There's got to someone who's got clams."

"Iie, we asked everyone in the Cul-de-Sac and not one person said that they have clams." Edric responded, really wanting to give up the task. He wouldn't call himself lazy but he is, and more likely knowing when to call it quits when there's no point. "Besides, no one in their right mind is going to have clams!"

Just then, a sudden noise came from behind the four Eds. They looked and saw a manhole cover being lifted and pushed aside. Out of the sewers, Jonny's arm reached out while holding Plank, who was wearing scuba gear. After placing his friend down, Jonny followed suit and climbed out of the manhole, dressed in scuba gear too.

"Boy, Plank, you're hard to beat when it comes to gathering clams!" The bald kid said, before pulling up a bucket filled with live clams.

"Clams?" Edric looked at Jonny, flabbergasted.

"Is that Jonny," Ed asked, before running over to Jonny.

"The clam master has arrived." Eddy followed after him.

"My, how convenient." Double D scratched his head while Edric was in disbelief.

"Just what we're looking for." Eddy said to Jonny. "Toss a few of those clams our way, Jonny boy."

"Trade ya, Eddy." Jonny held the bucket away from him. At this point, Eddy really shouldn't be surprised.

"Oh sure, why not." He put out, as Edric walked over to join them.

"We'd like an anchor!" Jonny requested.

"Nani!? Uso desho!?" Edric shouted, now starting to get annoyed by this. "You know what, screw you guys! I'm going home!"

He turned around and started to walk away, only to fall right into the open manhole. The samurai boy screamed until he hit the bottom. Ed and Eddy peered down the sewer as Double D came along and looked into it too.

"But I love chickens, Edric." Ed pleaded, as Jonny and Plank looked into the manhole too. Eddy groaned.

---

(Present)

"And there was only one place that we were going to get that anchor." Eddy groaned. Then the Eds sighed, moaned, and irked. "The Kankers."

"Who are they?" Nagisa asked.

"A nuisance." Eddy had a crossed look.

"Horrible." Double D shivered with fright.

"Rapists." Edric face-palmed.

"Demon formed from Satan's smelly belly button!" Ed grabbed his head as he looked like he was going to go insane with terror.

The shocked students of E-Class turned pale white, with blank white eyes, and hanging jaws. Eddy's description wasn't really anything to go on. Double D's started to give them a picture of the Kankers. What Edric said was enough for the students to be taken back and scared for the Eds's health. Ed…this was just supernatural, but they were close to believing it. Edric felt as though he may have described the Krankers, though there was no doubt in his mind that the sisters would go that far if they were back then.

"Matte, not rapists. Let me explain." he said, holding up his hands in a gesture for the others to calm down. "The three Kranker Sisters, Lee, May, and Marie are the bullies of the Cul-De-Sac. They live in a trailer park, and each of them likely came from the same mom, but different fathers. They are strong, brutal, and extremely abusive to anyone they catch."

"The worst part about it is that each of them has this massive crush on the three of us." Eddy said, pointing from himself, to Double D, then Ed. "To the point that they were also stalkers. Lee has a thing for me. Marie likes Double D. And Ed is May's crush."

"Well, I don't see what the big deal is." Nakamura said.

"Yeah, you guys got three girls practically throwing themselves at you." Okajima stated.

"Oh, trust me, it might seem like a nice thing to you guys, but I had to learn it the hard way. Especially since that was the day they attempted to…" Edric said dramatically, then shivered. "…kiss me."

---

(Flashback: Trailer Park)

Inside of their trailer, the Kankers were sitting on their sofa giggling, as the anchor that the Eds needed was hanging on the wall.

Lee has orange/ginger hair that covers her eyes most of the time and wears a white tank top with red polka-dots on it, golden earrings, a pink belt along with blue jeans and purple shoes with white soles. Marie has a pale skin color and short blue hair that covers her right eye and wears a black tank top that stops right above her midriff, a pink belt, green non-camouflaged BDU pants, a dark green wristband on her left arm and black shoes with gray soles. And May has blonde/yellow hair and buck teeth, and is usually seen wearing a gray T-shirt, red shorts, yellow socks, and red shoes with gray soles.

The reason they were giggling was because they were reading a copy of 'Tire Iron Weekly' magazine. Looking at it all together as if it was a dirty magazine.

BZZT! BZZT! BZZT!

Then the doorbell rang.

"Visitors!" The maternal sisters shouted excitedly, and they rushed to the door. Trying to be the first ones there.

"Out of the way!" Lee demanded. It all then broke out into a fight, as Marie was being held back by her sisters.

"How's a knuckle sandwich sound?" Marie snapped, before being able to push them away while standing on the door.

"Ha!" She fell off the door and on the floor. After getting back up, she opened the door, as Lee and May joined her.

Standing in front of their trailer was the Eds, wearing a poor disguise. They were supposed to be a tall man in a trench coat. They were standing on top of each other, with Ed at the bottom, Double D in the middle, and Eddy was the head. Sitting at their feet was a leather bag in which Edric was hiding.

"Greetings, ladies." Eddy said, as Double D's arm waved at the sisters. "Um, we're doing a survey, and–"

"Eddy!" Double D whispered, tapping him.

"Oh, I mean, ahem–" Eddy cleared his throat and then continued in a deeper voice. "I'm doing a survey, and–"

"Our mom's not home." Lee told him, holding up a bit of her hair to look at him with one of her eyes.

"Yeah, take a hike." Marie said, before the Kankers giggled.

"I was wondering, how many anchors do you own?" Eddy asked with a nervous smile, still holding up the act.

"That's stupid,. May said. Lee then suddenly leaned close to Eddy's face.

"You look familiar, mister." Lee said.

"Huh?" Eddy quickly commanded the two under him to step back from the horrid girl, but this made the Eds stumbled a bit. Their disguise begins to shake. "Stop it, will ya?"

As the Kranker Sisters started to get suspicious of the disguise Ed-boys.

"You were on an infomercial?" May asked.

"Um, no, yes. I'm very well known. Quite famous actually. Want my autograph?" Eddy asked. Ed then ruined everything when he stuck his head out of the coat.

"I'm the legs!" Ed proclaimed, before the disguise collapsed, with Eddy falling off Double D's shoulder. The fall caused the trench coat to be taken off, revealing Double D too.

"Oh my. Exposed." Double D said, now frightened and clanged to Ed. The bag started to move before Edric unzipped it from the inside. Half of his body popped out before he collapsed on the ground, finally able to breathe.

"Finally!" Edric gasped. "What took ya so long?!"

"It's our boyfriends!" The terrible voice of Marie brought Edric to look up. The excited Krankers were joyed to see it was the Eds. But when they looked down at him, then grinned like harpies. "And look what they brought."

"New boy toy!" The three shouted, before all three pairs of hands grabbed onto Edric.

Edric didn't have a second to react when the Krankers pulled him out of the bag and tried to get him into the trailer with them. But he was able to grab onto the edge of the doorframe and held on for dear life, as the sisters pulled his head in and began kissing and tormenting him. But-

WHAM!

Crashing came in the trailer and cries from the Kanker sister were heard instead of Edric. He came out from the door and ran as fast as he could.

"NIGERUNDAYO!" Edric shouted.

"Run, Ed, run!" Eddy shouted in panic.

With Double D still hanging on and the trench coat that Eddy was still around his torso, Ed followed Edric and ran away, dragging his two friends behind him. They all screamed as Ed and Edric continued to run, leaving the trailer park.

---

(The Playground)

After their escape, the Eds and Eric returned to Jonny and Plank. The two oddballs were at the park, sitting on a tire swing.

"Listen to the clams gurgle in the bucket, Plank." Jonny sang to his friend, as some of the clams actually gurgled. Eddy then appeared out of nowhere and handed Jonny a rope.

"Got your anchor, Jonny. Allow me." The scammer puts his plan into action and spun the tire swing hard in a circle. The fast-spinning caused the rope to wind around Jonny, tying him up. When he stopped, Ed came over, carrying a large rock before setting it down. Eddy then picks up the bucket of clams and carries it away, basically stealing it from Jonny. "Wise trade, Jonny. Clams for an anchor. I'm such a sucker."

Edric and Double D were a few feet away, sitting on a bench. Double D looked at his new friend with pity, as Edric pulled out a couple of sodas from his kimono in case of emergencies. He offered one to Double D as he accepted it before they opened them and took a sip. The taste of the carbonated drink calms Edric, trying to forget his experience of the Kankers.

"I'll never see girls the same way again." Edric said before taking another sip.

"Quick, let's get over to Kevin's." Eddy told the two. But then Double D noised and pointed to something.

Jonny had managed to get free and was clinging to the bucket.

"All right, all right!" Eddy shouted, letting go of the bucket. "We couldn't get an anchor. Can we trade for something else?"

Jonny listened to Plank and then told the Eds.

"Plank wants to trade!" He said.

"Hah? What does a piece of timber want, anyway?" Edric asked, looking at the two oddballs with a doubted look.

---

(Present)

"Turns out that Plank wanted a badminton racquet," Edric said, in contrast to what he said back then. "So, we went to go see the only two girls in the Cul-de-Sac, Sarah and Nazz."

"What are they like!?" Okajima asked excitedly, rushed and leaned into Edric's face.

"Get a hold of yourself!" Edric snapped, shoved his face away as some of the students snickered. "Anyways, Nazz was the trendy and beautiful blonde girl that almost everyone in the Cul-de-Sac was in love with."

"Oh, is that so?" Rio looked at the Eds mischievously, while Yada couldn't help but feel a little jealous while Kanzaki felt a twitch in her eye.

"Don't look at us like that!" Eddy said, waving his arms about. "She was practically the only girl that could be dated."

"Besides, we're over her." Edric added, crossing his arms and sighed. "We knew that it wasn't going to happen with any of us."

"What about that other girl, Sarah?" Karma asked.

"She's my baby sister." Ed said with a happy smile. It kinda surprised the others that the dumb Ed had a sister.

"Yeah, and even if she was our age, you can forget it." Edric said, shaking his head then scrowled. "Sarah was easily the most hated person you could ever meet. She's a spoiled brat with a quick temper to back it up. The girl would use and abuse Ed, and their mom would always take her side over his. So, she basically had him in her control. The only time she isn't being a bitch is when she's with Jimmy, and the two of them are basically like a married couple."

"That sounds horrible." Fuwa said with a hand covering her mouth in shock.

"And yet I still love her." Ed said, still unable to think of anything bad about his abusive sister.

"I don't know whether to call it a miracle or if I should be worried that you still do, Ed." Eddy said.

"Yeah, and just like the Krankers, my meeting with her didn't go nicely." Edric said, as the story continued.

---

(Flashback: Alleyway)

The Eds find Sarah and Nazz in an alleyway playing badminton with each other. Sarah has fair skin, pink eyes, and a dark purple tongue and wore a pink tank top, blue jeans, hot pink shoes, and white earrings. Nazz has short blond hair, teal eyes and a light blue tongue. She normally wore a black T-shirt, white tank top, blue/purple jeans, and black shoes with white soles but she's in a tennis outfit.

Sarah hit the birdie to Nazz, who sent it back to her. Sarah drew back her racquet, but when she moved to hit the birdie, Eddy grabbed it.

"HEY!" She yelled with great aggravation, as the Ed-boy tried to pull the racquet out of her hand.

"Give me your racquet, Sarah." He demanded.

"My serve!" Sarah hit Eddy with the racquet and sent him flying into the net.

Then, as if it was a slingshot, the net threw Eddy back. Sarah looked like she was going to hit him again, only to sidestep, letting him fly right by and slam into his friends. The four of them were all flying back and broke through a fence. Sarah stepped through the hole to yell at the four.

"DON'T EVER TOUCH MY RACQUET!" Sarah yelled.

"Oi oi, was that really necessary?" Edric questioned her as he stood up again. "You could've killed us."

"MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS, FREAK!" Sarah yelled at him. That got Edric mad really quick.

"Better watch your words, Gaki!" Edric yelled back at her.

"WHAT WAS THAT?!" She yelled again, feeling insulted at the last one.

"You heard me, you—" Edric's mouth was instantly closed by Ed as he picked up the samurai boy and held him under his arm.

"Sarah, we need it to trade for a chicken. Please?" Ed pleaded with his sister, as Edric struggled to break out of the freakishly strong boy. Sarah gave a sly smile, knowing that they weren't going to get what she wanted.

"I'll trade you for a giant teddy bear." She told them.

"When will it end?" Eddy asked in despair.

"Back to Jimmy's!" Ed picked up the other two and herded them away.

---

(Jimmy's house)

The Eds were at Jimmy's doorstep and Eddy banged on the door. Jimmy pushed his chair towards the door and stood on it.

"What do you want?" Jimmy demanded as he looked through the peephole.

"Giant teddy bear?" Eddy asked.

"Plums." Jimmy tells them.

"What's with the food?" Eddy growled in frustration and walked away.

"PLums are good for ya, Eddy." Double D said, followed Eddy.

"I'm really starting to hate this neighborhood." Edric hissed before following Double D along with Ed.

---

(Rolf's Farm)

And it was then that they ended up right back where they started, at Rolf's farm.

"So, back again, wanting Rolf's plums, confused Ed-boys?" the farmer boy asked. While Double D and Ed tried to remain positive, Eddy was almost at his breaking point. Eric at this point could care less. "Do you not want my egg?"

"Yes, we want the egg!" Eddy snapped, exasperated. He then grabbed the bag of plums Rolf picked and tried to pull it away, only for the taller boy to hold onto it. "But we need these plums first!"

Rolf yanked the bag, tripping Eddy off his feet and making him let go.

"No plums, as I am still waiting for my sawdust. Do not fool Rolf!" He said, tying up the bag. As Ed was petting a chicken and making kissy noises at it, Edric had enough of this nonsense for one day.

"Yare yare daze, how you wanna trade, then?" Edric sighed. He then took off one of his wooden sandals from his kimono and presented it to Rolf. "Fine! How about a nice wooden shoe for those plums?"

"I have many, thank you." Rolf refused.

"Let me guess, plus size?" He then surprised Double D by thrusting his hand into his pocket and started fishing through it. Eric then pulled out a book. "A 'Condensed Manners for the Advanced' book?"

No response.

Edric threw the book away and looked through Double D's pocket again.

"Okay, a—" He stopped for a second when he pulled out an abacus. Eric looked at Double D with wide eyes. "Oi oi oi, how much do you carry? Must be heavy for your frail body."

"I like to be prepared." Double D responded.

"I got a yo-yo." Ed said, pulling out his yo-yo and starting playing with it, poorly at best. "That is called 'Walking the Dog'."

After everything they've been through, Eddy slapped himself in the face and finally gave into despair.

"It's over, you two." He said dramatically, before adding to it by falling back and having Double D and Edric catch him. "No eggs, no chicken, no omelets."

"I'm pretty sure we're past breakfast, Eddy." Edric pointed out, making Eddy despair even more.

But then, they got their break.

"Haha!"

The three of them heard the sound of Rolf laughing. Looking towards the direction of the voice, they saw Rolf was laughing because he was happily playing with the yo-yo after Ed gave it to him.

"Hahahaha! It is so simple, I am enjoying myself!" Rolf said. Eddy rushed over to Rolf.

"Yo-yo for plums, Rolf?" Eddy asked with hope.

"Yes, Ed-boy. I have never seen such a thing. My family will sit around, telling stories of produce spread and Rolf's yo-yo for generations." Rolf replied.

"That sounds boring." Edric comment.

"Well…" Eddy said, about to boast until Rolf interrupts.

"Ya ya. Goodbye." He then tossed the plums to Eddy, before going back to laughing and playing with the yo-yo.

"Be right back." And with that, the Eds ran off.

---

(Cul-De-Sac)

Feeling the enormous amount of stress and despair leave their shoulders, the Eds joyfully began trading with everyone. They first ran over to Jimmy's house with the plum. After getting the giant teddy bear, they all carried it over to Sarah. After getting the racquet, Ed held it as he ran in the wrong direction.

"OI! Wrong way!" Edric quickly got in front of him and turned him around towards Jonny's.

"Fore!" Ed shouted.

After trading with Jonny, Eddy and Double D carried the bucket of clams back to Jimmy's, as Ed hugged and carried them.

"Follow me!" Ed proclaimed.

Getting the paint, Ed ran over to Kevin's place with Double D, Eddy, and Edric followed behind.

"Slow down, Ed!" Edric shouted at Ed.

Then After painting Kevin's shed, Edric and Ed then carried the sawdust to Rolf's with the other two friends following behind.

---

(Rolf's Farm)

Finally bringing the sawdust-filled trash can to Rolf's backyard, Eddy stood in front of it with excitement.

"So, here's the sawdust. Cough up the egg, Rolfy boy." Eddy said, rubbing his hands in excitement.

"Yes, the trade is complete." Rolf told the Eds. The Eds became more excited, while Edric sighed in relief. Rolf then held up the egg that they were promised. "Behold."

What a sight it was for the Eds and Eric. After all, they did and had gone through, that egg might as well have been the Holy Grail.

"Splendid." Double D said.

"It's mine." Eddy took the egg and started talking to it. "What I went through for you, baby."

"I'll design plans for an incubator." Double D leaned in.

"Let's just eat it." Edric then leaned in. "Raising one's gonna take a long time anyway."

"It has my eyes." Ed leaned in, lastly.

"And your thick outer shell." Eddy started to walk away with the egg.

"I want to hold it, Eddy." Ed suddenly jumped on Eddy's back, knocking him down, before grabbing the egg. He jumped off and ran off. "Let's play!"

"Ed, no! Wait!" Eddy screamed desperately.

"Matte! Matte! Matte!" Edric pleaded, trying to stop Ed from doing something he'll regret.

"You must be so cramped in there. Fly, chicken, fly!" Ed said to the egg. He then pulled open the egg, spilling its contents and ruining a whole day's worth of trouble and work. "Uh, the chicken's gone bad."

"Like my luck." Eddy moaned. Edric slapped himself in the face before he had one idea he didn't think of this entire time.

"Let's just ask my mom for some eggs." Edric said as he walked back to his house. "Should've done that in the first place."

"You're a lifesaver, Edric!" Eddy followed the samurai.

"Why didn't I think of that?" Double D scratched his head, followed after the two.

"Chickens!" Ed ran behind them.

---

(Present)

"And went back to my house for some of my mom's omelet rice. That's how I met the Eds that day." Edric said, bringing the story to an end. "After that, we were almost inseparable."

However, he heard snoring and looked at the other students.

All of them were now asleep. Only he and the other Eds were still up.

"They fell asleep!?" He exclaimed quietly.

"I like that story, Erdic." Ed said, before crawling into his sleeping bag and getting comfortable.

"This trip was also quite splendid." Double D stated, as he and Eddy slipped into each of their own sleeping bags. "I feel as though we've really gotten to know the others greatly and on a more personal level."

"Too bad we're going back tomorrow." Eddy groaned.

"Yeah…" Edric nodded his head, sitting up. The tone of his voice caught the Eds' attention and they stared at him.

"Is something the matter, Edric?" Double D asked.

"…I was just thinking. Moving to Japan. Spending time with our new friends in E-Class. The EDsassinations. All the times we had since we've been here felt so long but so little." Edric told them, before looking at them with a sincere expression that was a little serious. He turned his head and looked through the window at the premiant crested-moon. "But once we succeed in killing Koro Sensei before March, we'll be going back. Our life back in Peach Creek. The Cul-De-Sac just seems so much smaller compared to here. Back there, all we had were simple goals to get candy. Not much purpose there. When we came to Japan, we're doing so much more than just getting candy. We're having a time of our life here and I want to have that after we graduate."

The Eds were silent as they listened to him. He was right. Their time in Peach Creek wasn't the greatest and they knew that. Though they were forgiven, all the trouble they caused couldn't really be forgotten. But here, even with all the craziness and assassination, they were genuinely happy.

"You know, I'd like just one more trip." Eddy said softly.

Edric looked at his friends as they lay their heads down. He gave them a smile, before lying down himself.

'And so that's how our trip to Kyoto ended. The next day, we would all be heading back to the 'EDsassination Classroom'.' Edric thought before closing his eyes, falling asleep.

(Cue Silver by RIZE)

{Instrument}

(The scene showed the crescent moon as it zoomed out before it glitched showing Koro Sensei's face in its place. Lake Kiryu was showed as it panned up, Anti-Sensei rifle panning to the left, Anti-Sensei gun spun across the screen, and the EDsasssination Plan Journal panned downward. Back to the moon as glitched again, revealing the E-Class building.)

{Sora o koe yama o koe minato e touhon seisou asa kara ban made}

'Past the sky, over the mountains, city-bound on the go from morning until the night.'

{Toki o kakenukeru ima na o nokose miraieigou sekai no hate made}

'Running through time, leaving our names in this moment.'

(Edric was in a red black-lined shirt and a black yukata with red flames on the bottom holding Lake Kiryu while Yada stood next to him, wearing a blue yukata with floral design. Then Edric is shown in white silhouette, practicing with his sword by the E-Class building while the sun rises and sets. Eddy wore a white millionaire suit counting his money with Nakamura in an elegant dress having a drink. The Eds in whote silhouette were walking home passing by Kunugigaoka Junior High.)

{Wasshoi wasshoi wasshoi wasshoi Tataka waneba soko de owaru}

'Come on! Come on! Come on! Come on! If we don't fight, it all ends right here!'

{Wasshoi wasshoi wasshoi wasshoi Mamoru yatsu ga iru hana ga chiru toki hana wa mau}

'Come on! Come on! Come on! Come on! There's something we have to protect, the flowers dance while they fall.'

(The scene split horizontally as Edric appeared on top, then Eddy, Double D, finally Ed. Double D and Okuda are in lab coats as they work with some chemicals. The scene split vertically as Ed appeared, then Double D, Eddy, and Edric. Ed was in his monster costume as he rampaged on a city set while Fuwa recorded it on her phone. Changes to night as the moonlight shows a daisy sprouting from the ground.)

{Ah daiji na mono ga aru Ah Ah kawaranai mono ga aru}

'Ah, I have something important. Ah ah, I have something that doesn't change.'

Yeah! Yeah!

{kimi to ikiru koto kimi o mamoru yo}

I'll live on with you, I'll protect you.

I'm here to fight for you…Today!

(Nagisa was in a dress, much to his chagrin, while Kayano was trying out girly accessories on him as the scene zoomed out. E-Class does their regular shooting on Koro Sensei as he dodges them on Mach 20. Koro Sensei flew across the ocean before he sped up close to the screen as he gave his signature laughter.)

{Bakurai sairai kendo juurai}

'The bombs going off again, let's try twice as hard again'

{Bakurai sairai kendo juurai}

'The bombs going off again, let's try twice as hard again'

(The scene goes back to Lake Kiryu panning down as the Anti-Sensei rifle appeared and intersecting it. The spinning Anti-Sensei Gun and the Edsassination Journal appeared as they intersect the two. Then they stopped at each corner as the title appeared in the middle.)
