Chapter Seventeen: Hallucinat-Ed
Jimmy, Eddy, Sarah, and Nazz all waited at the edge of the woods for Kevin's arrival. "Where is he?" Eddy asked impatiently.
"Maybe it takes longer to charge than he thought..." Jimmy said.
"Should one of us go check on him?" Nazz asked.
"No need, here he comes now!" Jimmy exclaimed as Kevin walked over, the console in his hand. He was wearing a nogahide jacket similar to Nazz's, and was wearing a pair of jeans.
"Okay, I've got the tracker fully charged. It should last about five days." Kevin explained.
"Good, that should be enough time to find him." Jimmy said as he turned to the woods. "I think now is a good time to start our journey."
"HOLD ON!" Sarah yelled.
"What is it, Sarah?" Nazz asked.
"We forgot my brother!" Sarah said.
"Oh yeah, that's right. Where is the big lug, anyway?" Eddy asked.
"Last I saw him, he was at the fields with Rolf." Sarah answered.
"Okay, I'll go..." Eddy was cut off by Kevin.
"Wait, Rolf is here?!" Kevin asked, surprised.
"Yeah, why?" Jimmy asked.
"Why didn't you tell me? I need to see him before we leave!" Kevin said.
"Okay, just make it quick. We need to start out soon." Jimmy answered. Kevin nodded quickly, and started toward the fields. He walked through the gate, and stepped into the farm, making sure not to disrupt the farmers from their work. Kevin started looking around for Rolf. "Okay, so he's not in the fields..." Kevin said to himself as he walked to the barn. "Not in here either..." Kevin said as he walked behind the barn, into the animal pens. There he saw Rolf filling the pigs' trough with water. "ROLF!" Kevin yelled happily as he ran over to him.
"Kevin?!" Rolf said, bewildered.
"Yeah, it's me, dude." Kevin said, smiling.
"Long time, no see, yes?" Rolf said, also grinning.
"You got that right." Kevin said. Kevin suddenly remembered that the others were waiting for him. "Hey, I'll see you later, I've gotta go with the others..."
"To where are you traveling?" Rolf asked. Kevin turned around.
"Oh, we're going to find Double-D... Hey, do you want to come?" Kevin asked.
"Perhaps, but the Jimmy-boy claims that Rolf does more good here on the farm." Rolf explained.
"Well... Maybe I can convince him. C'mon!" Kevin yelled as he gestured for Rolf to follow. They then made their way back to the group. "Hey guys." Kevin said as he ran up to them.
"What's Rolf doing with you?" Jimmy asked.
"I was hopin' that he could tag along with us." Kevin said.
"I don't know... he's a great farmer, and he could help more if he stayed." Jimmy said. "If Rolf wants to, however, he can go", Jimmy said as he turned to Rolf. "Do you want to go with us, Rolf?"
"Yes, Rolf would love to accompany you on your journey to find the Double-D ed-boy.", Rolf said.
"Okay, then you should go to the armory and find some appropriate weapons. But hurry, we need to leave soon." Jimmy said. Rolf nodded and ran to the armory. Kevin put his hand on Jimmy's shoulder.
"Thanks, fluffy." Kevin said jokingly.
Jimmy grinned and said, "No problem."
"Wait, I didn't see Ed with Rolf..." Kevin said. Ed suddenly stepped out from behind Kevin.
"I was behind you the whole time!" Ed exclaimed.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"The tracker says that he's ten miles to the Northeast." Kevin said, looking at the tracker. Eddy, Ed, Nazz, Kevin, Jimmy, Sarah, and Rolf all walked through the woods, making there way to where Edd supposedly was. Rolf was wearing some wooden armor, and had a club in his hands, ready to defend himself against attackers.
"TEN MILES?!" Eddy yelled. "My feet are already hurtin'..."
"Maybe if you exercised some more, Dorky, then you wouldn't get tired every five steps." Kevin said.
"Yeah, and maybe if you got some plastic surgery on that chin, Kevin, then you wouldn't look like a circus freak." Eddy said angrily.
"Yeah, well maybe if you..." Kevin was interrupted by Nazz.
"Please, can you two dudes stop fighting?" Nazz asked, annoyed by their constant arguing.
"Fine..." Kevin said. The group walked in silence for a few minutes, until Eddy broke the silence.
"I'm bored..." Eddy muttered.
"I have an idea!" Ed exclaimed.
"Oh great! I can't wait to hear this..." Sarah said, rolling her eyes.
"We can all tell scary stories while we're walking!" Ed happily said.
"Actually, that isn't a bad idea..." Jimmy said.
"Yeah, I guess its okay. So, who's gonna start first?" Eddy asked.
"I WILL!" Ed cheered. He then pulled out a candle and lit it, illuminating his face. "I will now tell the tale of the Evil Water bottle that came from the planet Tapia!" Ed said eerily.
"Woohoo, I'm so excited..." Eddy said sarcastically.
"It all started one dark, scary, horrible, pitch black and eerie night, when two campers were walking through a brick wall." Ed began.
"Wait, how can two campers walk through a brick wall?" Eddy asked.
"Oh... um... because they were GHOST CAMPERS!" Ed said. "Now, as I was spraying, the two campers walked through the brick wall, and saw a water bottle sitting on a set of drums." Suddenly a brick wall appeared in the path that they were walking.
"What the..." Sarah said, bewildered.
"A brick wall?" Jimmy said, looking up at the immensely tall brick wall. Suddenly, two campers walked through the brick wall.
"CAMPERS?!" Kevin yelled.
"IT IS THE CURSE THAT THE GREAT TIKI WITCH PLACED UPON ROLF'S FAMILY! QUICKLY, WE MUST KNEEL AND SING THE SONG OF THE DANGLING CACOON!" Rolf yelled as he kneeled and began singing a weird song. The campers were completely see through, and had red eyes. As they floated toward them, they moaned.
"GHOSTS!" Eddy yelled as he jumped into Ed's arms. Ed had a look of determination and courage on his face. He dropped Eddy, and whipped out his axe.
"LOTHAR SHALL SMITE THE GHOSTS!" Ed yelled as he ran at the ghosts and swung his axe wildly. The axe flew right through them, and they suddenly started to fizz out of reality. "VICTORY IS MINE!" Ed cheered as the ghosts disappeared. Eddy stood up and brushed the dirt off of his shirt, and the others stopped freaking out.
"Wow, Ed, you actually did it!" Jimmy exclaimed. Suddenly, the wall started to disappear too.
"What's going on..." Kevin said, backing up. The wall disappeared, but that wasn't the end of it. The woods around them started to disappear, and was replaced by cold, dark, grey walls.
"It was all... just a hallucination?" Nazz said, puzzled.
"But how can this be?" Jimmy asked as he and the others looked around at the dark room they stood in. A giant screen suddenly slid out of the ceiling about them, and flickered on. A person appeared on the screen, and everyone gasped.
"Jonny the wood boy?" Rolf said as he stared up at the large picture of Jonny on the screen.
"Hello everybody!" Jonny said happily as he waved at them all.
"Umm..." Jimmy said, trying to think of something to say.
"HELLO JONNY!" Ed yelled as he ran up to the screen. "My how you have grown!" Kevin suddenly pushed Ed out of the way and charged up to the screen.
"What's the big idea, Jonny?" Kevin asked.
"I guess you guys are wonderin' what you're doing here, huh?" Jonny asked. Everyone slowly nodded. "I don't know if I should tell you guys... it might ruin the fun."
"Look, Jonny, just tell us what we're doing here." Jimmy asked, trying to be as polite as possible.
"Okay, I'll tell you. You guys are going to play a game." Jonny said simply. Everyone stood there, puzzled.
"Are we going to play monopoly?" Ed asked. Sarah glared at him, and then turned back to the screen.
"What game, Jonny?" Sarah asked, starting to get annoyed.
"You guys are gonna love this! You have to each find your way through the maze in an hour!" Jonny exclaimed. Suddenly, the walls around them shifted and changed, and then four entrances appeared in the walls.
"A maze?" Nazz said.
"Why do we have to make it through this stupid maze in an hour?" Eddy asked.
"Because of this!" Jonny exclaimed as the camera shifted to show a shocking sight. A giant tank full of great white sharks stood about fifteen feet away from the camera. What was more shocking, however, is who dangled above it.
"DOUBLE-D?!" Eddy and Ed yelled at the same time. Edd was hanging by a rope that was tied around his feet, and his arms were tied. He had a piece of duck tape on his mouth, silencing his screams.
"That's right! If you don't reach us in an hour, then Double-D is fish food!" Jonny said happily. "Isn't this exciting?"
"You're a sicko!" Sarah yelled.
"You got that right!" Jonny said as he started laughing like a maniac. The screen shut off, and slid back into the ceiling, and in its place slid a big timer that read 1:00:00. Suddenly a bell rung and the timer started decreasing.
"We've only got an hour, let's hurry and save Double-D!" Eddy yelled.
"Wait, let's split into pairs first, so we can cover all the entrances." Jimmy said.
"Okay, I'll go with Ed.", Eddy said.
"I'll go with Kevin." Nazz said.
"And I'll go with Sarah." Jimmy said.
"What about Rolf?" Rolf said.
"Oh, that's right... well you'll just have to go alone. Is that okay?" Jimmy asked.
"Yes, Rolf will be able to weather the elements alone." Rolf said.
"Okay, let's hurry up and get to him!" Eddy yelled. The others nodded, and started to run to their chosen entrances. Sarah and Jimmy run into the north entrance, Ed and Eddy run into the east entrance, Kevin and Nazz run into the south entrance, and Rolf runs into the west entrance.
