lightside of emo: Man this is an awesome story, I love it.

Awesomewriter123: Your last few chapters have been pretty good. I had a feeling he'd be a collector, but who's the other one? Please update!

Thank you all for your reviews, and a special thanks to those who have stuck with my story from the beginning. On to chapter twelve!

Chapter Twelve: Rescu-Ed?

Sarah, Jimmy, and Ed all peeped out from behind a large pile of trash, watching what was happening to Eddy. "Kevin is one of the collectors?" Sarah said quietly, as she turned to Jimmy. "Did you know this?"

"I'm just as surprised as you are Sarah.", Jimmy said, peeking back over the trash pile.

"We should ask this magical fairy to cast a freezing spell on Kevin." Ed said as he held up a bobble head of a Hawaiian woman in a skirt.

"Shut up and pay attention, bone-head.", Sarah muttered as she turned to watch what was unfolding.

"Ke-Kevin?" Eddy sputtered nervously.

"Yeah, it's me, dorky." Kevin said as he kicked Eddy in the stomach.

"OWWW!" Eddy screamed.

"And I still don't like you." Kevin said as he spit in Eddy's face.

"Stop it!" Eddy yelled.

"I'll stop when I wanna stop, ya dork!" Kevin said as he punched Eddy in the gut. Kevin turned to the other collector. "You want some of this Nazz?"

"Can't we just get on with it?" Nazz said as she went and grabbed a bag full of tools. "We should do it now."

"I just want to torture him a bit more." Kevin said. "You can help if you want." Nazz looked at Eddy, and Eddy gave her a pleading look. Nazz smiled wickedly.

"Okay.", Nazz said as she walked up and kicked him in between the legs.

"OOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWW!" Eddy screamed as tears slid down his cheeks.

"Ouch. That had to hurt..." Kevin said as he walked up to Eddy. "Had enough yet, dork?"

"G-Get away from me, yo-you monsters..." Eddy said weakly.

"I think it's time Nazz." Kevin said as he stepped backwards.

"You're gonna let me do it by myself?" Nazz said, bewildered.

"He's all yours." Kevin said as he sat on a rock.

"Awww, your so sweet Kev." Nazz said as she walked over and kissed him.

"What the..." Eddy said, jealousy welling up inside of him.

"Jealous, are we?" Kevin said as he reached into a nearby crate and grabbed an apple. Kevin then turned to Nazz. "Alright, you can go ahead and start."

"Finally!" Nazz exclaimed as she reached into the bag and pulled out a small power saw. She then walked up to a panicked Eddy, who was sweating a lake, and turned on the battery operated saw. "Where should I make the first incision..." Nazz said.

"Oh god, I can't watch..." Jimmy said as he turned away.

"Eddy..." Ed said with tears streaming down his cheeks.

Suddenly, a green bottle flew threw the air, and hit Kevin in the chest. Steam started coming off of him. "ACID!" Kevin screamed as he desperately tried to remove his jacket. Nazz whipped around, and saw Kevin writhing in pain.

"Kevin!" she yelled as she ran over, trying to help Kevin get rid of the jacket. Eddy saw his chance for escape, and tried to get free of his bonds, but they were too strong.

"Dang it!" Eddy yelled as he struggled. Suddenly, he felt something melt through his bonds, setting him free. "Yes!" Eddy yelled as he got up. Right as he stood, however, a blow to his head knocked him out cold, and he was dragged away. Kevin and Nazz finally got the jacket off of Kevin. Kevin stood panting, and Nazz walked over to her motorcycle and got on.

"Let's go find who did this." Nazz said as she began to turn on her motorcycle.

"Wait.", Kevin said as he walked over. "We don't need to", he said as he pointed to the exact trash pile that Jimmy, Sarah, and Ed were hiding behind. They quickly ducked down behind the trash pile, but it was too late. They had been spotted.

"We've got to leave now!" Jimmy said, climbing to his feet.

"But what about Eddy?" Ed asked, covering himself in trash until he was barely visible.

"We'll have to come back for... wait." Jimmy said as he watched Ed cover himself in trash. "I know how we can avoid Kevin and Nazz!"

"How?" Sarah asked.

"We can conceal ourselves under this trash! Kinda like Ed is doing", Jimmy said.

"Sounds good." Sarah said as Jimmy and her began to hide in the trash like Ed.

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Eddy woke up with a start. He was groggy, and had an enormous headache. He tried to move his hands, but they wouldn't budge. AGAIN? You've got to be kidding me... Eddy thought. He looked around him, taking in where he was. It was dark, but he could make out several bottles and tubes everywhere, filled with strange liquids of every color. Machinery and gears adorned the walls, and several robots slid on treads and walked on metallic legs, transporting all kinds of weird looking doodads. "Wait... is this the..." Eddy said before someone interrupted.

"The alchemist's tower?" a person concealed in darkness said. "If that is what you were about to say, then you are correct, Eddy."

"Wait... that voice. Could it be?" Eddy said as the person stepped out of the darkness. "Double-D?"

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

"WHERE ARE THEY?!" Kevin yelled as he clenched his fists in anger. Nazz and him had been searching around the trash pile where they had seen Jimmy, Sarah, and Ed, but their search had been in vain.

"Calm down Kevin, maybe they're just really good at hide n' seek.", Nazz said as she opened an old dryer and peeked inside.

"Maybe you're right..." Kevin said as he sat down on a rusty chair, exhausted from the search.

"If you think about it, they might have tried to go see if they could hide at the alchemist's tower." Nazz said as she walking toward her motorcycle.

"Yeah, but they have to be really stupid to do that." Kevin said as he too walked to his motorcycle.

"Ed was with them, so he might have led them there for safety." Nazz said as she slid on her helmet.

"Right, so we'll try there first..." Kevin said as he put on his helmet. They both revved up their motorcycles, and drove off toward the alchemist's tower.

"Are they gone?" Jimmy said as he peeked out from beneath a dirty towel.

"I think so..." Sarah said as she came out of her hiding place, which was beneath an old skeleton that once was in a science classroom. Ed burst from the pile with a pile of bugs on his head.

"Look guys! I found pets! I'll name you George, and you Susan, and you..." Ed was cut off when Sarah whacked all the bugs off of his head.

"I'm not in the mood for your stupidity, Ed.", Sarah said as she turned toward Jimmy. "They said they were heading towards the alchemist's tower. You think we should go there?"

"Yes, as that might be where Eddy is being held." Jimmy said as they began to walk toward the alchemist's tower.

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

"Yes, Eddy it is me.", Edd said as he walked up to Eddy, who was chained to an operating table. Edd was wearing a white lab coat with a pair of goggles on his head. He had rubber gloves and black rubber boots on.

"So you're the alchemist..." Eddy mumbled.

"Yes, I suppose you could call me the "alchemist", although I am known by many other names, such as the mad scientist, insane surgeon, or dangerous dentist. Call me any one of them you like.", Edd said as he walked over to a table next to Eddy where several needles, tweezers, and other various sharp looked instruments lay. "I personally prefer being called the dangerous dentist, because it's just so catchy. Wouldn't you agree, Eddy?"

"Um... okay..." Eddy said unsurely. Has Double-D gone loco, or somethin' Eddy thought as he shifted his attention to the needle Edd was picking up. "Why don't you free me from these chains so we can chat?"

"Oh yes, I would love to catch up on what we have been doing in our time apart. It will have to wait, however, as there is much work to be done." Edd said as he stuck the needle in a bottle that read NOVACAINE.

"Hey, uh, Double-D, what is novacaine?" Eddy asked, fearing for the worst.

"Oh, novacaine is a normally powdery substance that, in its hydrochloride form, can be used as an anesthetic." Edd said as he finished filling the needle with novacaine.

"Uhhhh..." Eddy said, not comprehending what Edd said.

"Oh... right. Maybe I should put it in words that you will understand. Now let me see..." Edd said as he turned to Eddy, needle in hand. "Ah yes. Novacaine is the substance that dentists use to numb the nerves in your teeth when they are removing cavities." Edd said.

"Oh. Then why are you filling that needle with novacaine? Are you going to fix my teeth up or something?" Eddy asked.

"No, I'm just going to see if novacaine will, in large amounts of course, numb you completely so that I may begin the operation." Edd said, lowering the needle to Eddy's legs.

"What operation?" Eddy asked, tension building inside of him.

"Oh yes, I forgot to explain the operation, didn't I?" Edd said as he stopped lowering the needle. "You, Eddy, will be my first attempt at a cyborg." Eddy's eyes widened and he began to get scared.

"Cyborg? But that means..." Eddy said.

"It means that I will have to remove some of your organic body parts, and replace them with inorganic, mechanical pieces." Edd said, smiling.

"WHAT?!" Eddy yelled.

"Now, now, Eddy, yelling is extremely rude. Now, I must continue with the operation..." Edd said as he went back to the injection. Suddenly Edd stopped and snapped his fingers. "I just remembered that your clothing must be removed if this operation is to continue."

"Remove my... clothing?" Eddy said, blushing.

"Yes, it is an essential part of the operation, as your clothes will just get in the way." Edd said as he called over a few robots. "Remove all of the patient's clothes, except his undergarments, of course." The robots saluted, and rolled over to Eddy. They were big and rounded, and had several arms with tools coming out of them. They had a single, blue eye on them. The robots got to work, and began to remove Eddy's clothes. Edd watched intently beside them, waiting for them to complete their task so that he may begin the transformation. Oh god, I hope Ed and the others are comin' Eddy thought as a few tears slid down his cheeks.

Nazz is revealed to be the other collector, Kevin and Nazz decide to pay a visit to the alchemist's tower, and Edd, aka the "alchemist", is going to transform Eddy into cyborg! Read and Review please!
