A/N: Wow, this was long overdue. Sorry for the long wait. Hope you like this chapter.
-The day the Eds vanished-
Sarah was walking towards Edd's house since that's where he brother said he was going this morning, a scowl on her face. She had to stop playing house with Jimmy to remind Ed to do his laundry, and she hated having to stop playing with her friend. She was gonna make sure that stupid head of a brother of hers payed for this. She stomped up to the front door of Edd's house before pounding on the door. Everyone knew that Edd's parents were almost never home, so she didn't need to put on a nice act.
"ED! GET OUR HERE!" she screamed as she pounded on the door. She waited for 5 seconds before pounding again, her patience paper thin at the moment. "ED!"
"Hi Sarah!" Sarah turned to see Johnny waving at her with one hand while holding Plank in the other, his head stuck between two boards on a fence.
"Get lost, Blimp Head!" she sneered before pounding on the door once more.
"I would, but my head's stuck again." he explained as he watched her pound on the door. "Mind helping me out?"
"Can't. Gotta get my stupid brother home!" she barked before raising her fist to knock again.
"Well, he's not here." Johnny told her, stopping her mid-swing. She turned to him before he continued. "Plank says he saw the Eds heading for the woods a few hours ago. Something about a cool owl nearby!" Sarah only growled in frustration before shouting to the heavens.
"EEEEEEDDDDDDD! GET HOME, NOOOOOOOW!" she bellowed so loud that they could here it all the way from Lemon Brook. She growled as she stomped back home, though slightly hopeful that he'd come hate late and get yelled at by their parents.
"You said it, Plank." Johnny moaned as he rubbed his sore ears after Sarah yelled.
-Hours later-
Sarah was watching T.V., a bored look on her face, before yawning and turning it off.
'I wonder what's for dinner?' she thought as she walked towards the kitchen. She saw her mom standing there talking on the phone. She was about to pull on her apron with a fake smile to ask what was for dinner, but stopped when her mother mentioned Eddy.
"That's what she said. She told me around lunchtime that Eddy hadn't returned home." her mother spoke. "That's right. And my little Ed hasn't come back either...I know. My son and Eddy are usually out causing mischief, but we all know that your Eddward only gets in trouble when they're involved...Yes, I'm sorry it happens, but kids will be kids...I'll keep a look out for them and send Eddward home if he shows up...Okay, goodbye." she finished before hanging up the phone.
"Was that Double D's mom?" Sarah asked, getting her mother's attention.
"Yes." her mother answered before sighing. "I'm afraid they may have done something...again." she grumbled the last part, knowing that Ed and Eddy would cause some kind of problem in the cul-de-sac.
"Really?" Sarah asked in surprise while grinning internally. 'Those fatheads are gonna get in trouble again!' she laughed inside.
"Yes. Though it seems Ed and Eddy were following Eddward's lead into the woods." she said with a thoughtful expression. "Something about finding an owl. Well, it was probably just another bird. They'll probably come home soon. Dinner's in an hour."
-3 hours later-
Ed still hadn't returned, causing his mother to become a little annoyed. Hanging out with his friends was okay, but not when he doesn't check in every now and then with her. While she spoke out loud about him being out to her husband, who merely grunted while watching T.V., Sarah was in her room talking to Jimmy.
"And he's been gone with the two other Eds since this morning?" Jimmy asked on his end of the line.
"Yeah! Didn't come home for lunch, and still hasn't come back since then." Sarah told him with a smile. "My mom said that he's in big trouble for not calling, and for not doing his laudry. I'll call you when he shows up so you can hear her chew him out!"
"I break out my best tea and listen in!" Jimmy said in a gleeful tone. She and Sarah laughed at the idea of seeing Ed in trouble before ending their call and were now waiting.
-The next day-
"Have you guys heard?" Nazz asked Kevin, Rolf, and Johnny in the middle of the cul-de-sac. It was near noon and the three of them were discussing the Eds. "None of the Eds came back since yesterday."
"Plank and I heard about that." Johnny spoke up. "Plank saw them going into the woods. That's the last anyone saw them."
"Rolf has not seen hide nor hair of the Ed boys." said Rolf.
"Probably off somewhere working on another scam." Kevin said. "Dorks."
"But they were only gone for half a day that time." Nazz told them. "They left early yesterday, and now it's nearing noon today. That's over 24 hours, and no calls to any of their houses. Something's seriously up." she finished just as Sarah and Jimmy joined them all. "Hey Sarah. Heard anything from Ed yet?"
"Nothing." Sarah groaned after having not seen Ed get punished.
"Maybe they got lost in the woods." Jimmy said. He didn't like the Eds that much after Eddy wedgied him in front of everyone, but he'd rather see them get thrashed by the kids around the cul-de-sac instead of being lost and hungry in the middle of nowhere.
"Who cares?" Sarah asked out loud.
"I'm with her." Kevin told her. "Last time we did look for them when they disappeared, we ended up being stuck in their stupid Chimp World scam."
"WE were the ones stuck in their Chimp World scam." Nazz corrected with a glare, which was joined in by more glares from the other kids. "You ran off and left us all hanging."
"Yeah, you jerk!" Sarah yelled.
"Rolf could not look at another banana without being haunted with nightmares after that day for many moons!" Rolf snapped. Kevin could put his hands up in defense at their angry tones.
"Whoa, chill!" he said while backing up a bit. "I panicked, okay?"
"If it wasn't for the Eds coming back to look for that mask and glove they lost, we'd probably have never gotten down." Jimmy grumbled from behind Sarah.
"FEAR NOT!" Rolf suddenly shouted, fully dressed in his Urban Ranger uniform. "AS THE URBAN RANGERS SHALL FIND THE MISSING ED BOYS! RANGERS, ASSEMBLE!" he ordered, causing Plank, Jimmy, and Johnny to stand next to him in their uniforms. The other kids just stared in confusion as the three set off into the woods to find the Eds.
"Urban weirdos." Kevin chuckled before the kids dispersed. Hours went by before the Urban Rangers returned holding a gym bag, a net, a camera, and a few large feathers...but no Ed, Edd, or Eddy to go with them. And things only got worse after that.
-1 week since the Eds vanished-
All of Peach Creek had been turned into a searching party. The kids of the cul-de-sac, their parents, and many others did everything they could to find the Eds. Missing person posters, faces on milk cartons, local news, newspapers ads, you name it. Even with the Kankers hearing about it and throwing a 'Hissy Fit', nothing yielded results.
-1 month since the Eds vanished-
Time seemed to slow to a crawl for the cul-de-sac. The parents were always near the phone when they weren't at work. The kids barely cracked a smile as they went on with their days.
-6 months since the Eds vanished-
The parents were at a loss as to what to do, while the kids bickered and accused each other for the Eds disappearing, thinking that they just ran off. Time went on as things became worse until...
-2 years since the Eds vanished-
It was Saturday, the two year anniversary of the day the Eds disappeared. The kids all traveled to the spot where the Urban Rangers had found their items. Even the Kankers were there, but they were too sad to cause any trouble. Some cried, some said a few words, and some stayed quiet. They stayed quiet before hearing footsteps approaching. They turned, thinking it might have been one of their parents. They were wrong.
"Hello, children." said a strange man, a smile on his lips.
"Uh, hello?" Johnny replied with a wave.
"Why, what's with all the sad faces?" he asked.
"We're sad." Nazz began. "A couple of kids we knew disappeared two years ago."
"Oh, that's very sad." the man frowned. "What were there names?"
"We called them the Eds." Jiimmy answered.
"There was Ed, my...big brother." Sarah sniffed, having missed that bonehead of a brother of hers.
"There was Edd with two Ds. We called him Double D." Nazz spoke next.
"And the last one was Eddy. He was the cute little loudmouth." Lee finished, a tear running down her cheek.
"Hmm. Strange." the man mused. "Was one of them wearing a strange black hat?"
"Yes." Rolf answered.
"And another with a strange, chinless head."
"Yeah!" May answered as the other kids eyes started to widen.
"And the third was small, about this high?" he asked while holding his hand around up to his thigh level.
"THAT'S THEM!" Nazz yelled in joy as the kids began to cheer before turning to the man. "Where are they?!"
"Who are you mister?" Jimmy asked.
"Me?" the man asked as he raised his right hand into a fist. They all watched as three triangles appeared on the back of his hand, the top one glowing. "I am the King of Evil, Ganondorf!"
"HOLD IT! HOLD IT! HOLD IT!
-Present-
"TIME OUT!" Eddy yelled to the others. "GANONDORF HIMSELF WAS IN PEACH CREEK?!"
"HE WAS IN OUR WORLD?!" Edd screamed.
"EVERYONE'S YELLING!" Ed yelled. Everyone turned to Ed who was smiling at them before Eddy slapped him.
"Please stay focused, Ed." Edd pleaded.
"Getting back to the story." Link said.
"Right." Nazz said before continuing. "Well, he used some kind of weird magic to transport all of us to Hyrule."
"Unfortunately, we got separated from each other." Lee added. "And the five of us are the only ones who made it to this village."
"We don't know what happened to the others." Marie said as she and a few others stared at the ground.
"Jimmy, Johnny, Saraha, and Rolf are still who-knows-where." Kevin told them. "As far as any of us know, we're all that's left."
"Oh dead." Edd whispered. "All of our parents must be worried sick."
"Uh..." Nazz spoke before biting her lip.
"Uh? What 'Uh?'" Eddy asked.
"I said that we're 'all that's left', dork." Kevin repeated.
"Something tells me there's more to that than you're saying." Navi said as she floated before him. "What's going on?"
-Kakariko Graveyard-
"...no...NO!" Eddy fumed.
"This can't be real! Tell me this all a bad dream!" Edd gasped.
"Mommy and daddy...SAY IT ISN'T SO!" Ed yelled as tears fell from his eyes like a waterfall.
"It is." May answered while wiping her own eyes. She and all the other kids traveled to the graveyard to gaze upon a small gravestone. Upon it were some familiar names to them all. Etched upon were the names of all their parents names.
"That spell he used to transport all of us here was larger than we thought. Everyone in the neighborhood was brought here." Lee explained. "Our parents were brought here to be labor, but they revolted, and..."
"This is what happens when you defy Ganondorf." Marie finished.
"When I get my hands on him, I'm gonna rip his-" Eddy started before brought his right hand out of it's pocket.
"Don't." Kevin said as they all stared at his hand...or lack of one. It was nothing but a stump wrapped in bandages. "I know you dorks said you were gonna fight him...but I wouldn't. Trust me, you'll live longer."
"Oh dear." said Edd, summing up what they all thought.
"Doesn't matter. I'd rather be dead than live under Ganondorf's rule!" Link declared. "If we quit now, then Ganondorf wins."
"Good thing we're not giving up! Right you guys?" Navi said as she turned to the Eds.
"Right!" Ed smile.
"Indeed!" Edd nodded.
"Let's take that bastard down!" Eddy grinned while cracking his knuckles. The others could only stare in confusion and awe at their words. Despite the story they just told them all moments ago, they couldn't picture a slimy con artist, a rule abiding nerd, and an overgrown germ farm saving them from an evil tyrant.
"Heh." Kevin chuckled. "It's your funeral."
"At this point, we'll take whatever hope is given." Lee grinned.
"What's that supposed to mean?!" Eddy scowled.
"It means we're behind you guys." Nazz answered.
"If you need to rest, your room at the Inn's on me." May grinned.
"And we'll hook you guys up with the best we got in the shop! Free of charge!" Marie added.
"Don't forget us!" Nazz smiled while raising Kevin's good hand, who shrugged his shoulders at them all. The group of young heroes could look at the others before smiling. Starting tomorrow, their fight continues.
A/N: Man, I think I just threw all this together. Hope you all like it. Also, the 'update notification' seems to be wonky. I updated my Steven Universe story, but it didn't say it updated. Hope you all enjoyed this chapter.
