Chapter 2: Dragon Ed - Part 1
Central City (Dragon Ball Universe)
The three fighters, who were identified as, Gohan, Vegeta and Piccolo, were ready to attack on command. Goku, Naruto and Luffy confronted these three opponents leaving the Eds, Edward, Natsu and Eren on the sidelines.
Goku turned to the others. "You guys get the Eds outta here! We'll take of these three while you make a run for it!"
"What?! No way! I wanna fight too!" implored Natsu.
"Yeah, me too! I can take them out just as easily, if you can just--" said Eren stubbornly as he was interjected by Edward.
"No! They're already evenly matched as it is! We'll just get in the way!"
"Shrimpy's got a point y'know, Goku is really strong and he can whip their butts just as easily as Naruto and Luffy can!" contrasted Eddy who received a glare from Edward for that 'Shrimpy' comment.
"Please, gentlemen, at least consider a hasty retreat so that we may fight another day!" pleaded Edd.
"But--" Natsu uttered.
"It's okay! We got this covered, Natsu, just go find a place to take cover and we'll find you!" promised Naruto in which Natsu nodded in return.
"Let's go!" urged Natsu as the rest of the team retreated hastily.
'The Ed-boys are escaping! Minions, you have your orders! Annihilate Goku-boy and his urchins, while Leader 1 fetches the Ed-boys! Is that undetstood, yes?' ordered the hologram of Leader 1 in which the possessed fighters nodded in obedience as the hologram disappears.
"Well, it's about that time again, huh Goku?" asked Luffy with enthusiasm.
"You got that right, Luffy." Goku responded with a straight face. "I'll take Vegeta, Naruto you take Gohan, and Luffy you take Piccolo!"
They both nod in response as Vegeta advances towards Goku as he dodges his attack and kicks him in the abdomen. Vegeta gets knocked back a bit from the blow, and he recovers to make another jab at him leading the two fighters to hit each other in a rapid, back and forth motion.
Luffy was attacked head-on by Piccolo but blocked his attack with his arms. They both struggle a bit before Piccolo pushes Luffy back with heavy force. The straw hat breaks the stalemate and lands an uppercut on the Namekian with his large rubber fist sending him flying towards a wall.
Naruto went on the offensive as Gohan jabbed at him with multiple punches and kicks but missed him entirely. The young ninja counterattacked with a punch to the head and follows it up with a blue energy ball (his Rasengan), hitting the intended target, rendering him paralyzed.
Goku and Vegeta still kept going at each other until Goku kicks Vegeta in the air and follows it up with a chain attack, tossing him around in the air until he slams him onto the ground. The saiyan prince was weakened by the assault was still able to stand up.
"I know you're still in there Vegeta! If you can hear me say somethin'!" Goku pleaded with Vegeta who struggled to say somthing.
"K-K--Kako-r-rot?"
"That's it! Keep remembering, Vegeta!" encouraged Goku.
Luffy's battle with Piccolo isn't over yet as they both keep fighting one another to a full extent. This called for the young pirates signature move.
"Hey, Piccolo, open wide! GUM GUM…… PISTOL!!!!" shouted Luffy as he stretched his arm and uppercuts Piccolo sending him flying into the air. Luffy looks up to see the Namekian's body ascending into the sky like a rocket. He waits for a minute until, finally, Piccolo comes back down and crashes into the pavement. The pirate looks down towards Piccolo's unconcious body which was expelling the aura in his body.
Naruto was able to weaken Goku's son, Gohan, and finished him off with his Shadow-clone technique which attacked him all at once until he was overwhelmed and rendered unconscious. Naruto's disappeared as the shinobi looks at his fallen opponent who's aura left his making him no longer possessed.
Goku was also able to beat Vegeta, his body, also rid of the negative force in his system. Once the battle was over, the victors regrouped to assess the aftermath.
"Glad that's over and done with!" relieved Naruto rubbing his together.
"Yeah, although, didn't it seem a little too easy for you?" Goku asked.
"Whaddeya mean?"
"Well, Vegeta, Gohan and Piccolo are all highly trained martial artists. It was a tough match but it wasn't as tough as it should've been." Goku explained.
"I… still don't get you?"
"Gohan and Vegeta are strong super saiyan and Piccolo is an equally tough Namekian. If they were in their right minds they would've already been in their super saiyan forms and we would've had it rough."
"Well, they were probably angry enough to not remember on their training, whatever 'Leader 1' did to them as well as me, Natsu and Eren, might as well have been the cause of it." Naruto figured.
Piccolo started to move a little before he sat up, rubbing his head. "Ugh, my head… damn… I hope Krillin didn't put something tainted in my water, or else I'll kick his little…"
He looks over to see Goku and Naruto standing over him. "Goku? What happened? I'm not dead am I?"
"No, you're still alive. Listen, it's a long story, but--" before Goku could finish, Luffy rams his large fist into Piccolo, making him unconscious again.
"LUFFY!!!" Naruto and Goku yelled at the straw hat.
"What? He moved!" Luffy explained.
"Luffy, you don't punch people after they regain consciousness, you'll break their brains!!" reprimanded Goku.
"Sorry, I got a little carried away." said an embarrassed Luffy.
Vegeta and Gohan slowly awakened and gently got up to rub their heads.
"Hey look, Gohan and Vegeta are awake." said Naruto.
"Good, can I punch'em?" asked Luffy.
"NO!!!"
Goku goes over to his son to assist him. "Gohan, are you okay?"
"Dad? I feel like I got hit by a train… what happened to me?" Gohan asked wearily.
"Kakarot?" awoke Vegeta as he was helped up by Naruto. "Where the hell have you been?! And who is this blonde kid? Is he a saiyan, too?"
"No, that's just Naruto. He's a shinobi." Goku explained to the saiyan prince.
Vegeta looks behind Goku and sees Luffy waving to him. "Oh, you again. I remember you from that crossover we had with Toriko. Have you found the One Piece yet?"
"Nope, still searching for it!" responded Luffy gleefully.
"Figures." scoffed Vegeta.
"Dad, when you disappeared, we were attacked by Frieze and his army. They took over the city!" Gohan explained to his dad, who was shocked to hear that old name again.
"Frieza? Who's Frieza?" asked Naruto curiously.
"Frieza was an interstellar dictator who nearly wiped out the entire saiyan race and was hell-bent on taking over the universe." Vegeta explained.
"Until I destroyed him on planet Namek. He's probably still mad about that." explained Goku.
"He's not alone, though, he's teamed up with Cell and they're both working with this new guy called Leader 1. He's taken over the city, and possibly the Earth!" Gohan winced as he said this.
"Here eat this Sensu bean. It'll help you." Goku calmed Gohan as he fed him the bean. He throws a bean over to Naruto who feeds it to Vegeta.
"Y'know, Leader 1 isn't exactly who says he is. He's actually this kid named Rolf who isn't as bad as he supposed to be." Luffy explained.
"What?! Kakarot, you know him?!" Vegeta exclaimed.
"Yes, I do. He's not really that evil. He was a nice kid who gave me fish for dinner!"
"Dad, he's enslaved many people here and he's probably killed some, too!" Gohan told his father.
"It's still not the Rolf we know! He has to be brainwashed or something! Probably with what made you guys attack us!" deduced Naruto.
"Pfft, I'll believe when I see it." scoffed Vegeta not believing a word their saying.
"We can debate this later! Right we have to get you guys healed and then find the others!" ordered Goku.
"Others? You mean Mom, Goten, and our friends?" Gohan asked.
"Yeah, we'll find them. But there's also a few other people we came here with that went need to find." Goku explained as he helped carry his son.
"Seriously, Kakarot?! Who could you have possibly met when you went on your little field trip?!?!" exasperated Vegeta.
"Just some new friends that I picked up. Especially, Naruto here." Goku smiled as Naruto did the same.
"Hey, Luffy. Don't forget to bring Piccolo, too." reminded Naruto.
"Alrighty then! And this time, I'm not gonna punch him, again!" replied Luffy.
"Good." said a relieved Naruto.
"I'm just gonna do it when he wakes up again, just for the heck of it!" smiled Luffy as he picked up Piccolo.
"NO!!!!!"
Meanwhile with the Eds
The other heroes and the Eds were running block after block around the city until they were finally at a safe distance from the giant spaceship and the ongoing battle that tool place. They all stopped for a minute to a take a breather as the Eds finally relished their break from running.
"Aw, geez, I think I got blisters on my feet!" griped Eddy.
"I think I gotta hernia!" moaned Edd.
"I think I have gingivitis!" said Ed showing off his unbrushed teeth.
"At least we're safe, for now." Edward breathed a sigh of relief.
"How long is 'for now'? For all we know, Rolf might be sending in reinforcements to come get us." said Eren apprehending the gravity if the situation.
"Oh come on! This is Rolf we're talking about! You really think farm boy is gonna send little flying space pods to come and nab us?" questioned Eddy.
"Ya mean like those things?" Natsu pointed to the five flying space pods that Eddy coincidentally described as they hovered over the group.
"Me and my big mouth." grumbled Eddy as one of the pilots in the pods spoke to the group.
"Attention, fugitives! Surrender the Eds in the name of the Lord of the Shepard now or we will be forced to use live ammunition! You have on the count of 10, to turn them over or will open fire! 10… 9… 8…"
"Oh no they're counting, guys! What do we do?! What do we do?!" panicked Ed.
"Guys, relax, I got this." smirked Natsu as he turned to the flying pods to face them.
"Please, don't do something stupid! Please don't do something stupid!" Edward whispered as he pleaded for the mage to not get them killed.
"Alright! We give up! You win! You've outsmarted us! We'll give you the Eds, and you can let the rest of go…" Natsu bargained as Edward started going into a frenzy after hearing what he said.
"He's doing somthing stupid! He's doing something stu--" Edward exclaimed before being silenced by Eren and the Eds who kept his mouth shut.
"...but before you do that, I have one thing to say!" Natsu finished as he took in a large breath.
"Hey, what's he doing? HEY! Don't do anything stupid or we'll open fire on--"
"DRAGON'S ROAR!!!" roared Natsu as he blew an enormous amount of inferno towards the pods. The pilots screamed as they were wiped out by the dragon slayer's destructive breath destroying the pods as they create a huge explosion. The attack left the surrounding area scorched and burned leaving what little probability of any of the alien pilots surviving.
Natsu wiped his mouth and took in a breath. "And that's what happens when you screw with a Fairy Tail mage! And none is the wiser!" He turns to his friends with a smile as another explosion erupted.
"That is some bad breath!" Eddy remarked whose eyes were as big as dinner plates after watching Natsu use his Dragon's Roar.
"Natsu has vanquished the Spleen Smashers from extracting our livers!" cheered Ed who bear-hugged the young wizard.
"Fellows, I hate to be the bearer of bad tidings, but we have company!" Edd shouted pointing to two more pods appear out of nowhere.
"Where are these things coming from?!" yelled Eren who was getting irritated by the number of pods that were coming in.
"Don't worry, boys, I've got a plan." assured Eddy as they take cover behind an abandoned vehicle. He pulls out a small balloon-like object which smelled bad.
"Oh, God, what is that smell?!" Natsu exclaimed holding his nose after smelling the gross item.
"This is an El Mondo Stink Bomb! The gnarliest stink weapon in existence!" proclaimed Eddy beholding the stink bomb.
"Eddy, how are you going to take out those pods with one tiny stink bomb?" asked Edd with disbelief.
"Simple, we use Edward's chemistry to make the stink bomb more explosive and then Double D will use his slingshot to shoot the bomb at the pods and once it goes airborne, Natsu will use his fire magic to make it go BOOM!" Eddy explained the plan.
"Eddy, it's not chemistry, it's alchemy! But I think I see where you're going with this." admitted Edward.
"I love this plan! I'm excited to be a part of it!" Natsu exclaimed who was immediately on board with the plan.
The pods suddenly fire upon the group with plasma bullets. The boys are sitting ducks as they are trapped in their hiding place.
"Eddy, I have some notes concerning about your coordinated strategy…" said Edd as more hot plasma rained down on them like hail. "...however I am willing to try anything at this point!"
"Hold this, Edward." Eddy handed the stink bomb to the alchemist who charged it with electricity that he conducts with his alchemy.
Edd pulls out his slingshot while he calculates the angle, velocity and wind resistance required to pull off Eddy's plan.
The pods faced the group and were ready to apprehend them. "Surrender the Eds now, or die!" The alien pilots order who aimed their plasma cannons.
"Everyone scatter!" ordered Eren as the team separates into different directions.
"Scatter, scatter like a bug zapper!" giggled Ed as he dodged the plasma bullets and took cover under another vehicle.
"Careful! You almost hit one of the Eds, you idiot! If anything happens to them, Leader 1 will not be happy!" reprimanded one of the alien pilots.
"I know that! I'm trying to hit one of the other renegades that are with them!" The second pilot replied who received a call from the mothership. "Hello?"
'Gamma 3, have you located the Eds yet?' asked the ship's command.
'Yes, we're right on top of them! However, we're having a little bit of difficulty with these other hostiles! They've already taken out most of our squadron somehow!' Gamma 3 replied.
'You have your orders, eliminate the other hostiles, but bring the Eds alive.' ordered the mothership.
'Understood, Gamma 3, out.'
Edd hid behind a large truck as the pods continued their onslaught. With the slingshot in hand, he calls out to Edward. "Hurry, Edward, I need the bomb, immediately!"
Edward makes a mad dash across the street, barely avoiding heavy fire, to where Edd was at. "Here, be careful with it, it's heavily charge and it's very sensitive! Don't waste it!"
Edd nodded to Edward as he climbed onto the bed of the truck. He loads the stink bomb into the slingshot, pulls back the elastic band, aims at the two pods and fires the bomb towards them.
"Natsu, NOW!!" yelled Eren as Natsu hurls a fireball at the flying bomb. As the bomb and fireball both collide with each other, they create a gigantic plasma-like explosion, wiping out the two pods and their pilots, as well as the entire area. The explosion knocked Edd off the truckbed and falls on top of Edward. Natsu braced himself, fighting back against the force of the explosion. Eren was blown back by it and gets thrown against a nearby wall. Ed and Eddy hit the deck to avoid being injured.
When the explosion dies down, everyone who survived the blast emerged and looks around to see how much damage the bomb caused, which considered to be catastrophic.
Eddy and Natsu gave a huge grin before laughing hysterically. The others looked at them in surprise. "What's so funny?" Eren asked in confusion.
"Hehehe… nothing… hehe… it's just that explosion was just so… Hehehahaha… insane! HAHAHA!!!" Eddy snickered before falling over laughing.
"Yeah, just look what it did to those two jackasses, HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" said Natsu as he laughed with excitement.
"I suppose that would be my own fault. I should've accounted for the unpredictability of the stink bomb and the elements that have been contributed to strengthening the explosive impact. It was indeed a very flawed hypothesis." elucidated Edd.
"Well, at least it did justice to those guys. Speaking of which, why is Rolf after you guys? Did you piss him off or somethin'?" asked Edward.
"I haven't the foggiest idea." Edd replied.
"Rolf's lost his marbles that's why!" Eddy assumed to a conclusion.
"Maybe he wants to offer us to one of his many deities as a sacrifice." Ed figured.
"Wait, Rolf mentioned something about a Miracle Worker. Who could that be?" Eren asked as he pondered this.
"Well, whoever it may be--" Natsu was about to finish before being corrected on his grammar by Edd.
"Whomever, Natsu"
"Right… WHOMEVER it may be, it probably has somethin' to do with that weird energy thing Yuna was talkin' about." Natsu figured.
The watch that was given to Edd by Yuna started to ring. The ringing sounded like an adorable little girl saying 'Kawaii'.
"Your watch is making a cute noise, Double D." said Ed.
Edd clicked a button, answering the call on his watch. "Hello?"
'Oh hey, guys! How's it going?' Yuna asked speaking through the watch.
"Man, you should've been there, Yuna, we freakin' blew up the place!" said Natsu excitedly.
'I know! I saw the whole thing from my tablet! I've gotta say, those were some cool fireworks!' giggled Yuna.
"Hold on, you were watching us the whole time and you didn't say anything?!" Eddy asked angrily.
'I told you that I had eyes in the sky! You really should pay attention more often, Eddy!' Yuna reprimanded Eddy who gave her a frown in return.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, Eddy." Ed retorted while wagging his finger.
"Yuna, do you know any anime characters by the name of 'Miracle Worker'?" Edd asked.
'I dunno, let me check.' She pauses for a few moments before resuming. 'Sorry, no Miracle Worker. But have you found the source yet? Or at least maybe a small trail?'
"Not yet, but I feel like we're getting close to something quite ginormous here." Edd figured as a nearby building collapses in the distance.
"We should probably get outta here, where do we go now, Yuna?" Edward asked.
'Just head to the house that's owned by Capsule Corp. in the downtown area. You can take shelter there.'
"Thank you, Yuna." thanked Edd ending the transmission. "Hopefully, downtown isn't that far from here, that way we could have time to--" Before Edd could finish, Ed picks him up as well the others and throws them over his shoulder.
"Zippety-do-dah! Zippety-yay! My-oh-my what a wonderful day!" Ed sang as he galloped along with his friends on his shoulders.
Mothership
Leader 1 was walking down the hall towards the bridge when, as he walks by the crewmembers, they stop going about their usual routine to bow down to him out of respect (but mostly out of fear). He enters the bridge where most of the alien henchmen were at work keeping the ship running. He clears his throat to signal his presence and the entire bridge look on in fear and bow to him.
"AS YOU WERE!" ordered Leader 1 who made everyone scramble back to their work stations.
He sits down on his throne in the highest level of the room. An alien steward approaches the throne and offers him a glass of milk. "Your goat milk, sir. Freshly squeezed from the prized goat, Victor."
Leader 1 inspects the milk by judging the texture, sniffing it, even inspecting the temperature. This made the steward very nervous. He finally takes a sip of the milk and expresses an indecisive look on his face. "It is… acceptable."
The steward felt relieved that he was able to satisfy the master. Leader 1 looked at the steward with annoyance. "Why are you still in Leader 1's presence? GO AWAY!" The steward scurried away in terror.
He takes another sip of goat milk. "Have the Buzzard Squadron captured the Ed-boys yet?" Leader 1 asks the crewmembers.
"No, sir. Unfortunately, we have lost contact with the Buzzard Squadron, ten minutes ago." One of the crewmembers reported.
"How can that be?!" exclaimed Leader 1 after taking a sip of milk.
"We contacted Gamma 3 earlier and left this transmission before going dark, sir. Listen." The crewman played back Gamma 3's transmission.
'Gamma 3, have you located the Eds yet?'
'Yes, we're right on top of them! However, we're having a little bit of difficulty with these other hostiles! They've already taken out most of our squadron somehow!'
'You have your orders, eliminate the other hostiles, but bring the Eds alive.'
'Understood, Gamma 3, out'
"Hostiles? It must be those heroes!" whispered Leader 1. "What about the three warriors Leader 1 released on Goku-boy?"
"They were all defeated sometime after deploying them, sir." another crewmember reported.
Leader 1 went silent before standing up from his throne, drinking the rest of his goat milk before speaking. "Contact the Rangers immediately." He exits the bridge as soon as a crewmember carried out the order.
He enters an elevator which takes him down to a conference room. He enters the large room through a set of large doors and sat in the center chair of a round table. He waits for a moment before another figure steps into the room. He was a tall humanoid alien with white slender body, with a long tail and a purple trim. He walks over to sit on the right side of the table and on the left side of Leader 1.
"Hello, Leader 1." greeted the alien.
"Ah, Frieza-boy, how does the Northern side of the Universe please you?" greeted Leader 1 with enthusiasm.
"You called me at a rather bad time. I was trying to take over a planet that had very rich resources when those Daleks showed up. I was about to obliterate them when I got your message. So what's the big emergency? I have other important things to do you know." said Frieza impatiently.
"Patience, Eager-beaver-Frieza-boy, we must wait for the other Universe Rangers to arrive." assured Leader 1 as another figure stepped into the room.
He was an insect-like humanoid with appendages similar to an ordinary insect but with a human-like face. He was green and had specs of black. He sat on the left side von the table and on the right side of Leader 1.
"Leader 1, I do hope this is important. I was a little busy hosting, and competing, in the Cell Games in the Southern side of the Universe, so whatever it is we might as well get it out of the way." said the second alien.
"Your tournament of death will have to wait, Cell-boy, for this gathering is of upmost importance." informed Leader 1 as yet another alien walks in.
He was a small, slender pink figure with a large appendage on his head and had black eyes with red pupils. He wore baggy pants and and belt with the letter 'M' on the buckle as well as arm covers. He was covered in blue liquid which was similar to blood and was grinning maliciously. He sat on the far right of the table next to Frieza.
"There you are Buu-boy, I see you've been slaughtering countless billions in the Western side, no?"
Kid Buu responded with an even bigger grin and snickered a little, the sound of billions of innocent lives screaming echoed in his mind as he quietly giggled with sadistic joy. Frieza scooted a few inches away from him, knowing full well how dangerous he was.
"Well, I guess that leaves us with only one member--" Cell said as the sound of a woman screaming and some loud banging were heard from outside of the conference room. "Oh, nevermind, he's here already."
The large set of doors were blasted open by an energy wave revealing the last figure to be a large muscular man with golden yellow hair sticking up and eyes with no pupils. He wore a red sash and white pants as well as gold jewelry and shoes embedded with a blue jewel.
"Sorry I'm late, Leader 1, I was destroying a few planets on my way over from the Eastern side." said the blonde-haired man who sat down next to Cell.
"Broly-boy, so glad you can make it." smiled Leader 1.
"I think we've been kept in the dark long enough. Tell us, why have you brought us here?" Frieza asked the Lord of the Shepard.
"As you all know, we are currently searching for the Ed-boys who have been eluding the Miracle Worker for quite awhile now." explained Leader 1 as he gets up and walks around the table.
"Yes, yes we are all aware of the deal we made with the Miracle Worker: take over this Universe, find the Eds, fulfill our life-long desires and live happily ever after. Honestly, though, how hard can it possibly be to find three young boys? It's practically a chore to us!" said Cell underestimatedly.
"Ah-ha, yes, it is quite amusing, Cell-boy, amusing indeed." chuckled Leader 1, patting Cell's head. "In fact, it just so happens that the Ed-boys have already arrived on Planet Earth, and they're just waiting to be plucked like ripened fruit in a tree during the summer."
"Well then, let's just get them already!" beamed Broly.
"However, there is just one thing that stands between us and the good juju granted by the Miracle Worker: the super saiyan known as Goku-boy."
The entire congregation of villains gasped simultaneously. Believe it or not, they all had their own experience with this particular saiyan. None of which, ended pleasantly. Just the mere mentioning of his name would make them twitch.
"That's impossible! I thought he was exiled to another dimension!" said Cell shockingly.
"THAT KAKAROT!!! Say no more, Leader 1, I'll grind his bones into molecules and obliterate his soul out of existence! But not before I kill his entire family and make him watch!" screamed Broly clenching his fists with all his might.
"You fool! Even with our combined forces he'll somehow manage to beat us again! What we need is some kind of leverage to make sure he doesn't interfere with our plans!" figured Frieza.
"Buu want to kill Goku! Buu want to Goku!" Kid Buu whined.
"SILENCE!!! Only Leader 1 gets to decide how to carry out this task, and Leader 1 decides to listen to the Eggheaded-Frieza-boy!" ordered the adolescent tyrant.
"Thank you, sir. Gentlemen, as you all know, we all had our own little run-in with the aforementioned super saiyan." Frieza stated as he stood up. "The only way we can truly capture the Eds, is if we make sure he doesn't get in our way, and to do that we need something to keep him out of the way."
He grinned evilly as he knew the perfect solution for their problem. "Forunately, I know somebody who can help us."
Downtown Central City
The Eds, Natsu, Eren and Edward have arrived near the designated location that was mapped out by Yuna sometime earlier after the run-in with Leader 1's forces. Ed puts down gang down after carrying them all the way across the city.
"Thank you for transporting us with your brute strength, Ed, but I think we can carry on from here." thanked Edd who felt a little dizzy from being carried.
"I've had rides more bumpy than that. In fact, it kinda felt like getting a ride from Happy. I didn't even throw up once!" Natsu admitted.
"This is the place, right?" asked Eren.
"Yep, address and all." figured Edward.
"Well, we're not gonna be standing out here all day, are we? Let's just go inside already." said Eddy urgingly.
They walk up to the front steps of the seemingly abandoned home. Edd knocks on the front door to see if anybody was home. No answer.
"Double D, what're ya doin'? There ain't nobody home!" Eddy said impatiently.
"It's common courtesy to knock, Eddy. Otherwise it would be impolite." Edd knocks once more, this time a blue-haired lady answers the door, surprised to see these strange young men.
"Can I help you?" The lady asked.
"Pardon me, ma'am, but could you perhaps assist us, we're looking for our friends and we also require shelter, if you don't mind?" asked Edd politely.
Suddenly, a young kid with light purple hajr came into the doorway. "Don't let'em in, Mom, they might be spies or somthin'!"
"It's okay, Trunks, they're just travelers who are in need of help. Why don't you all come inside, it's not exactly safe to be out here anyway." insisted the blue-haired lady.
"Well I don't trust them, Mom. They kinda creep me out." said the young boy suspiciously.
"Why, that's very hospitable of you, Miss…?"
"Bulma, call me Bulma." introduced the lady as she lets the group inside the house. "We also have other staying with us so it might be a little crowded."
The group enter the house to see ten other people in the living room. One of them was an old man who had a mustache-beard combo while wearing sunglasses and a hawaiian shirt and sported a wooden staff. He was accompanied by a blue rabbit-like cat and a anthropomorphic pig.
"Say, Bulma, who are these new strangers that you let in?" The old man asked.
"These guys look a little shifty to me, Bulma, are ya sure you can trust'em?" The pig asked suspiciously.
"Yeah, the blonde one looks like he's shorter than Krillin." The bunny-cat spoke.
"HEY! I AM NOT SHORT! I just haven't gotten my growth spurt is all!" defended Edward.
"Sorry, Master Roshi, these guys were lost so I had to let them in for a bit." Bulma apologized.
"I would also like to apologize for the intrusion, sir, and of course we may as well introduce ourselves. My name is Eddward, but you may call me Double D, if you'd like. This here is Eddy and Ed…"
"Hello! I'm Ed!" greeted Ed.
"Yeah, what's up." greeted Eddy half-heartedly.
"...and this is Eren…" continued Edd as Eren bowed in respect.
"...and you've also met, the other Edward." Edward also bowed as he was introduced.
"...and let's not forget, Natsu."
"Sup, Gramps?" greeted Natsu casually.
"Gramps? HAHAHAHA!! I like that! It sounds really hip!" laughed Master Roshi. "Say, kid, you're pretty young, do you happen to like, B-O-O-B-S?"
"Boobs?! Yeah, they are pretty cool-lookin'!" said Natsu pervertedly.
"Well, Videl over there has got a nice set! She might let you hold'em, for a little while." cackled Roshi.
"Hey, you do that and I'll kick your ass. Besides, I already have a boyfriend, Roshi!!" snapped Videl who overheard their conversation.
"That can be arranged." Roshi giggled as Natsu and Videl both blushed with embarrassment.
"Are you guys talking about my height again?" said a short man from across the room.
"And are you talking about boobs? That's so perverted." said a tall blonde woman who had a baby in her arms.
"Please excuse my pink-haired acuaintence for his arousal, he's just very... extroverted." Edd apologized.
"It's fine, I've seen Roshi at his most perverted all the time. I'm Krillin, by the way, and this is my wife, 18." introduced the short man.
18 looks down to Edward and smiles. "Hey Krillin, this kid over here is just your size."
"What's that suppose to mean?! You're saying I'm short, aren't ya? Well, guess what, lady, I'm taller than these two combined!" contrasted Edward pointing to Krillin and Eddy.
"Hey!" Krillin and Eddy shouted.
"Aww, Edwardo's an angry little nugget, cootchie, cootchie." cooed Ed scratching Edward's chin with his finger like he was a little kid.
"Don't call me, Edwardo! And I'm not a nugget!" yelled Edward smacking Ed's finger away from him.
"Edwardo? Ha! Good one, Ed, it makes the perfect pet name! AHAHAHAHA!!" Eddy laughed and pointed at Edward, who bit his finger in anger.
"YE-OW! He bit me! He friggin' bit me!" Eddy yelled as he was holding his finger in pain.
The small Ed-boy and the alchemist growled at each as they were about to kill each other before being held back by Eren and Natsu, the latter picking them up like they were small animals. The two started barking at each like dogs which brought attention from everyone else in the house.
"What's going on out here? Do I hear dogs barking?" said a woman with dark hair tied into a bun who came out from the kitchen.
"Dogs? I love dogs! Can we keep one, Mom?" said a small boy with the same hairstyle as Goku came out with his mother.
"Oh! Bulma, who are these other people?" asked the woman in surprise.
"Chi-Chi, these guys are kinda lost and they need a place to stay for a bit." Bulma explained.
"Well don't expect me to feed them, cause we need to ration our food. Especially since the planet has been taken over." said Chi-Chi.
"How long have you all been cooped up here? It must be strenuous to maintain your mental health while you're stuck in this house." Edd asked.
"It's a long story, but ever since Goku disappeared, the whole planet has been besieged by this Leader 1 guy. When he arrived, he started abducting citizens as well as some of our friends. Especially, my husband, Vegeta." said Bulma with a heavy heart. "We've taken shelter in my house so that we wouldn't be taken by his army."
"Wait, you all know Goku?" asked Eren.
"Yeah, why?" Bulma asked.
"What a coincidence! It just so happens that we came here with him!" informed Natsu.
Everyone in the house reacted in surprise as they know who Natsu was referring to.
"No way! For real?!" Krillin asked to which Natsu replied with a nod.
"Is it true? You know where my husband is?! Please, I'm his wife, I have to know if he and Gohan are okay!" Chi-Chi shouted as she grabbed Natsu and started shaking him for answers.
"Calm down, lady, we don't know exactly where he is! He and two of our other friends were fighting some other creeps who jumped us, so we bolted it and ran all the way here!" affirmed Eddy.
"We have to go find him! He's the only one who can help save the planet!" urged Trunks who was about to head out the door.
"Now wait a minute everyone! We don't know where Goku is at the moment and even if we do know we can't just go out into the desolated metropolis so we could get plucked up by Rolf's forces! Besides, it's not like he could just appear out of thin air just like that and greet you all in open arms!" Edd snapped his fingers as Goku, Naruto and Luffy transmitted into the house, still carrying Goku's unconscious friends.
"Hey, everybody, we're back!" greeted Goku who was propping up Gohan.
"Goku…? GOKU!!!" Chi-Chi screamed as she and her son, Goten, run up to hug their longlost husband and father. Everyone who is close to Goku came up to him, relieved that their old friend came back.
"Oh, Goku, I've missed yo--" Chi-Chi looks over to see her other son, Gohan, still injured from the fight. "AH!!! Gohan! What happened to you! Goku, what happened to your son!"
"Let me explain, Chi-Chi!" Goku tried to explain to his wife.
"Sorry, Mrs. Chi-Chi, I kinda got carried away when I had to fight Gohan." chuckled Naruto after handing an injured Vegeta over to Bulma.
"WHAT?!?! HOW DARE YOU!!!" screeched Chi-Chi as she tackled the shinobi to the ground in rage which ensued into a fight.
"Man, this family reunion is more dysfunctional than the one I had last January." said Eddy with amusement as he watched Goku's wife lay the law down on Naruto.
"I have to say, I'm not sure what Goku sees in that woman." questioned Edd.
"Love is like an onion, Double D, the more you peel away its layers, the more it stinks." advised Ed as he pulled out an onion and ate it.
After Chi-Chi calmed down a bit, Goku explained to everyone what had happened to him and the events that led up to his return to his home world. As he talked to everyone, Gohan, Vegeta and Piccolo were recovering from their fight with Goku, Luffy and Naruto. Once Goku was done explaining, everyone began to process this information.
"So, while you were stuck in a different dimension, you met these other guys, as well as a cosmic chick in a magic elevator, and now you're trying to save the multiverse from destruction?" Roshi recapped as he tried to piece together everything Goku explained.
"It must be a really huge responsibility, especially for you three kids." figured Bulma.
"Believe me, Bulma, it was quite a lot to process for me and Eddy, but Ed seems to be alright with this new revelation." Edd looks over to Ed who was playing jump rope with Trunks, Goten and Luffy who was using Luffy's stretchy arms.
"Ninety-nine monkeys jumping on the bed!" The three of them chanted while Ed was jumping.
"This little piggy cried 'BEEP, BEEP, BEEP!' all the way to the dentist!" Ed chanted who got tangled in Luffy's arms and fell to the floor giggling.
"You guys are also looking for a source of negative energy or somethin', right?" asked Krillin which received a nod from Goku.
"It may be comin' from Leader 1 or Rolf or whatever his name is. I have a feeling he may be the cause of all this universal madness." figured Naruto.
"Well, that can't be right. Sure, Rolf is obviously off his rocker or somethin', but there's no way he can be causing all the mumbo-jumbo in the multiverse. At least not alone." Eddy insisted.
"I think we're about to find out." said Edward all of a sudden.
"Why?" Eddy asked.
"Because Rolf's ship is floating right above us."
Everyone jumped as they all looked outside and see the Mothership hovering over the entire vicinity of the Downtown area. Goku, the Eds and the other heroes went outside to take a closer look at the ship. "Be careful, guys, the ship might send out more pods!" warned Natsu as they all prepare for a confrontation.
Meanwhile on the ship, Leader 1 and his Universe Rangers were on the bridge looking down on the heroes. There were also accompanied by a scientist by the name of Rick Sanchez, who supplied a special weapon for the latter.
"Okay, douche bags, your stupid carbonite laser is up and running. You had no i--*burp*--dea how hard it was to steal this thing from Jabba the Fatass. Now lemme tell ya, he was a REAL piece of work, and by piece of work I mean he was big pile of SH*T! If ya know what I'm sayin'." ranted Rick as he took a sip of beer.
"Thank you, Mr. Sanchez, that'll be all." thanked Frieza.
"Oh, wait, what about that metal you promised? The Bagcheesium Alloy?" Rick asked.
"Of course, a deal is a deal." Frieza handed Rick a case which contained a special metal used for other means.
"AW F*CK YEAH! Now I can finally make a D*ck Cannon! It's basically a laser that shoots people in the d*ck. You know like, if you feel like shooting people in the d*ck, but you can't cause you don't have really good accuracy and yet you REALLY want to shoot someone in that general area of their b--*burp*--bodies. I mean, I want to shoot people in the d*ck but since I like to shoot people when I'm drunk, I would usually just miss most of the time, y'know. Anyway, have fun freezing bitches in carbonite, or whatever." ranted Rick again as he uses his portal gun to teleport off the ship.
"Ready the laser!" commanded Leader 1 as the ship aimed the carbonite laser towards Goku.
"What are they doing?" Natsu asked suspiciously.
"It looks like they're aiming something at us." assumed Eren.
The ship slowly charged the weapon and once it was finished charging, Leader 1 gave the signal. "FIRE!"
The weapon discharges towards the intended target. Goku immediately reacted. "EVERYBODY GET OUTTA THE--" He was instantaneously shot by the laser which froze him in a block-like shell of carbonite.
"GOKU!!!" screamed Naruto as he witnessed Goku being frozen in place. The group was mortified by Goku's fate and they watch as the ship uses the transit beam to abduct Goku's frozen body. The ship began to charge the laser again.
"QUICK! RUN TO THE SAFETY OF THE RESIDENTIAL HOME!!!" ordered Edd as the group heads inside the house.
The ship charges the laser and Leader 1 gives the order again. "FIRE!" The laser fires again, this time it was aiming for Ed. "WAIT! I WANT TO RUN--" Ed freezes in place.
"ED!!!" Eren gave a bloodcurdling scream as the transit beam began transport Ed. "NO! DON'T YOU TAKE HIM!"
"Eren, get back here!" Natsu ran after Eren as the scout went to help Ed.
The young soldier was close to grabbing Ed's frozen state, but to no avail, the transit beam successfully takes Ed. Much to Eren's failure.
"NO!!! GIVE HIM BACK YOU BASTARDS!!!" Eren screamed to the ship with undying rage.
"What are you doing?! You're gonna get yourself killed!!" Natsu yelled at Eren, taking hold of his arm. "Let's get inside, NOW!"
"But they took, Ed and Goku! We need to get them back!" Eren screams at Natsu who struggled to break free of Natsu's grip.
"We'll figure something out! Now c'mon! We can't stay out here!" Natsu pulled hard on Eren's arm.
"NO! I'm not giving up on them!"
The laser slowly charges up, aiming towards Eren and Natsu. "Don't make me drag your ass inside myself!"
"Let go of me you coward!" Eren became more aggressive in freeing himself from Natsu. The laser is close to being charged.
"Guys, help me!" Natsu called out to the others as Luffy stretches his arm to grab Eren. Eren pulls out his blades, threatening to slice Luffy's hand.
"Don't touch me!" His eyes began to well up with tears. The laser was fully charged.
Leader 1 gives the order. "FIRE!"
The beam was discharged in an instant as it traveled straight towards the ground, approaching the target at the speed of light. Eren pleaded, with tears streaming down his face. "Please… I don't want to lose them…" Natsu looks at him with shock. "...not again."
The ray zaps Eren in the same fashion as Ed and Goku. His frozen body was brought on the ship by the transit beam, disappearing off the face of the Earth.
Natsu felt a wave of sadness as he saw his friend frozen in carbonite. He couldn't move as he was paralyzed by guilt. The next thing he knows, he's being grabbed by a rubber hand, carried into the house without question.
Back on the ship, Leader 1 observed the the heroes retreating into the house. He smiled with wickedness. "The Ed-boys think they can run and hide like little guppies, no? Let's go pay them a visit, yes? Hehehehe… hoohoohoohoo… Hahahaha… HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!"
A/N: Yeesh... I wonder how our heroes will get out of mess. Sorry that the Rick and Morty cameo had a little bit of strong language in it but I censored as much of it as possible so please don't complain about the T rating. Don't forget to review after you read and if you're interested in having a random cameo in another chapter be sure to post a request on the story!
