Thank you for your review, Jobrmc, and I do try to put a lot of effort into my story, and I'm glad you noticed. Thank you, Awesomewriter123, for your review, and you'll just have to wait to find out. : ) Now, let me stop boring you so you can read the next chapter!
Chapter Thirteen: Ed-scape!
Two Suzuki motorcycles lay against a large pile of debris, hidden from sight. Not too far away from them were Nazz and Kevin, peeking over the debris at a large tower that loomed over them. The tower was being patrolled by several large security bots, which walked on four insect-like legs, and toted two rotary machine guns on their backs. "How are we gonna do this Kevin?" Nazz asked, slinging a belt of grenades over her shoulder.
"We have to think of a plan..." Kevin said as he walked over to his motorcycle. He too grabbed his grenade belt, and he slung it over his shoulder. "Maybe we could sneak around back?"
"Maybe... but the defenses are strong the whole way around the tower, so it doesn't matter where we strike." Nazz said.
"Okay, I've got a plan. We get on our motorcycles, and we drive full speed at the front gate, while throwing 'nades at any robots that attack us on our way." Kevin said.
"Okay, sounds good so far..." Nazz said, waiting for Kevin to continue.
"Okay, then we throw a couple of mines at the latches holding the gate closed, which should bring that down. Then we ride inside, and find our prey." Kevin said, smacking his fist into his other hand.
"Alright, let's do it.", Nazz said as she and Kevin and started up their bikes, ready for the assault.

The robots backed away from a now barely-clothed Eddy, and proceeded to place his clothes in a bin. "Excellent. Now we can finally begin!" Edd said as he approached a shaky and sweaty Eddy. "Aren't you excited too?!" Edd said enthusiastically as he picked up the needle of novacaine once again.
"Please... don't..." Eddy said, trying to reason with the now insane Edd.
"We all get nervous before an operation, Eddy, but I assure you, this will not sting at all... well, except for the initial shots of novacaine, of course.", Edd said as he proceeded to inject Eddy's leg with the large needle of novacaine.
"OWWWW!" Eddy yelled, struggling on his restraints.
"Don't worry, Eddy, I'm finished injecting your lower leg. I will now move on to the upper..." Edd was cut off by Eddy.
"WAIT!" Eddy screamed, trying to garner Edd's attention. "Double-D, can't you do it while I'm asleep?" Eddy asked nervously.
"Hmmmm... Yes, that is a good idea. I will have to retrieve some Nitrous Oxide for this then..." Edd said. Suddenly, the room went ablaze with alarms and sirens. "Somebody must have pierced my security network around the tower..." Edd mumbled to himself before approaching a large computer screen set into a wall. The screen was ten feet by ten feet, and was set five feet off the ground. Edd pushed a button, and all the video feeds from the cameras set around the tower were instantly accessed.
What's going on? Eddy thought as he watched Edd.
"It seems the problem is at Sector One... the front gate." Edd said as he accessed the security feed from Sector One. The feed popped up on the large screen, and on it was a large battle. Two figures on motorcycles were plowing through hundreds of security bots, whilst throwing explosives every which way. "Collectors? Here? They must be suicidal..." Edd said as he walked over to a microphone that was sticking out of the keyboard of the computer. He then pulled the microphone out, and proceeded to speak into it... "Attention all security bots and pounder bots, we have a breach in Sector One. Secure the main gate and eliminate the threat." Edd said.
Suddenly the tower was abuzz with activity. Security bots scurried toward several doors, trying to reach the front gate to secure it. Pounder bots, which are large bipedal robots with two giant, five hundred pound fists, lumbered slowly out the front gate. "That should take care of the threat..." Edd said, trying to reassure himself that everything was okay.
"Wha-what's going on?" Eddy asked.
Edd slowly walked over to the operating table. "It seems, Eddy, that the two collectors who had you earlier are trying to breach the tower's defenses." Edd said as he sat down on a nearby stool.
"If you let me go, I could..." Eddy was cut off by Edd.
"They will find, however, that the tower's defense network is more than enough to handle a couple of suped-up motorcycles.", Edd said as he got off the stool and began to walk toward a nearby door.
"Where are you going?" Eddy asked, trying to hide the fear in his voice.
"I'm going to supervise the defense of this tower personally." Edd said before storming out of the door.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
From the top of a wrecked and unusable tank, Jimmy, Sarah, and Ed watched the battle with disbelief.
"How are they able to defeat that many robots?! There's like, thousands of them!" Sarah yelled as she sat on the barrel of the tank.
"They must be using the powers of Evil Tim!" Ed yelled as he jumped up and whipped out an Evil Tim comic. "It says that those who are descendants of Evil Tim are immortal when they call on the soul of Evil Tim to help them!" Ed said in an extremely serious tone.
"Whatever..." Sarah said as she propped her head on her hands.
"I think the tide of battle will change when they run out of ammunition..." Jimmy said.
"The tide of battle will never change, as the descendants of Evil Tim are able to shoot lasers out of their..." Sarah promptly smacked Ed across the face before he could finish. "Variety is the spice of life!" Ed yelled happily, recovering from the blow almost instantly.

Edd stood atop a large, four legged machine that was standing in a small clearing inside the gates of the Alchemist's Tower. The machine a long barrel sticking out of it, and its legs lifted it fifteen feet off the ground. It had a rotary machine gun on its "chin", and it had a platform on top of it for a pilot. In this case, the pilot was Edd. Edd pulled a microphone out from the keyboard of the machine. "Attention, Attention, if the targets manage to breach the front gate, stop them from reaching the innards of the Tower AT ALL COSTS!" Edd spoke into the microphone.
Outside of the gates, the battle had intensified. Several hundred destroyed robots lay crushed and battered, and yet another five hundred still remained, desperate to stop Nazz and Kevin from reaching their goal. "How many 'nades you have left Nazz?!" Kevin yelled to Nazz as he ran over yet another security bot.
"About thirty!" Nazz yelled as she used a robot's body as a ramp, and sky rocketed through the air. She landed on a security bot, and continued running over anything in her path. "How about you?!"
"About twenty-five!" Kevin yelled. "I think it's about time we blew the gate!"
"Good idea!" Nazz yelled as she pulled out a round, flat, tan disk with a timer on it. Kevin did the same, and they began to drive toward the front gate.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"FINALLY!" Eddy yelled in delight. He had finally managed to remove one of his hand restraints, and now had a free hand to remove the other restraints. Once he had removed all of them, he hopped off the bed. "OWWW!" Eddy screamed as he hit the ground. He had landed on his numb leg, and fell over onto the cold, metallic floor. I forgot one of my legs was numb... I better try not to break it... Eddy thought as he crawled toward the bin that had his clothes. He reached toward the top edge of it, and yanked it, tipping the bin over, which his clothes spilled out of. "Now I can finally get the heck out of here!" Eddy said excitedly as he began to put his clothes on.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Nazz and Kevin rode by the front gate, and each threw a mine at the two latches on the gate. They then rode about one hundred yards away, and the mines exploded, sending the latches flying off the gate. The gate, no longer having latches to support it, simply collapsed. "We did it!" Nazz yelled happily.
"Now let's hunt us some dork..." Kevin said as he and Nazz sped toward the now breached gate.
"THE GATE HAS BEEN BREACHED! ALL SECURITY AND POUNDER BOTS ATTACK THE TARGETS!" Edd yelled into the microphone. The security and pounder bots started racing to the gate, where they started battling the collectors.
"Catch me if ya can!" Nazz yelled cheerfully as security bots fired at her, missing her with every shot.
Kevin laughed maniacally as he tossed a grenade into a pounder bot's single eye, which exploded, sending wires and microchips flying out of the bot's body. "Bull's-eye!" Kevin yelled happily.
Nazz, who was still dodging the security bots bullets, failed to notice that one had managed to keep up with her. It suddenly was right next to her, and its machine guns started revving up. "HOLY!" Nazz yelled before it fired on her, popping both of her tires and hitting her foot in the process. Nazz screamed as she and the motorcycle went crashing into a storage room that was on the outside of the tower.
"NAZZ!" Kevin yelled. He started driving toward the storage closet, desperate to see if Nazz was still okay. A pounder bot suddenly stepped in his way, and it punched full force into Kevin's face, sending him flying off of his bike. The bike crashed into a group of security bots, and they were set ablaze. "Ow, my achin'..." was all that Kevin managed to say before a giant, looming shadow cast over him. He looked up at a tall, four legged machine, and on top of it was Edd, manning the walker. Kevin sighed, and fainted.
A robotic voice sounded over the speakers on Edd's machine. "Sir, the targets have been disabled, but not eliminated. Should we complete your command, and eliminate them, or take them to the holding cells?"
Edd lifted up the microphone and spoke. "Send them to the holding cells." Edd simply said. The robots below got to work, and collected Nazz and Kevin, who were unconscious, and began to take them into the Tower. "If my first experiment with Eddy does not succeed, then I can simply try again with Kevin and Nazz." Edd mumbled to himself before driving the machine back toward the tower. He failed to notice three figures slip through the front gate. The three figures then entered a small side entrance to the tower, as Edd rode into a large hanger where a plethora of machines rested for future use. The hanger doors closed behind Edd, and the light that once filled the hanger was now gone.
