It was a wild night since the party. Raimundo and Edward are now sleeping in a bed that the natives made for them. They don't know that they're both now hugging. Suddenly, Orochimaru appears upside down wearing a skull mask. Both wake up to see him.
"AAAAAAAAHHH!!" they screamed startled seeing Orochimaru. They look at one another, realizing they hugged while resting. "AAAAAAAAAHHH!!" they yelled again as they let go. "AAAAAAAHH!!" they turn to Orochimaru again.
"Good morning, my lords!" Sannin greeted with a smirk.
"Creepy ninja is back!" Rai whispered to Ed.
"Ah, crud." Edward groans.
"Would you keep it down, some people need sleep after that night." Patrick said (he was sleeping in a room near theres).
Orochimaru leaves and is outside where the natives carried them else where when they were asleep. He comes to them and Queen Ladyboreamon.
"And now it's my turn!" he said to her with a sneer and looks at the people of El Dorado. "The gods have awakened!" he announced.
"Whoa!" Edward cried as he fell off his bed as Rai gets out. Edward stands up and noticed Katara is throwing flowers in his and Rai's presence. "Hey, Katara. What's doing on?" the alchemist asked whispering.
"It's not gonna be good." Katara answered.
"Thank you." Edward said back. He and his friend watch the sannin's ceremony.
"This city has been granted a great blessing." Orochimaru continued. "And what have we done to show our gratitude? A meager celebration. The gods deserve a proper tribute!" At his words, they notices carry a large bag with something inside. they put it in front of Orochimaru.
Ed and Rai smiled, thinking the bag had something really good.
'Please let It be a really big gem covered in a gold like stripe.' Edward thought.
'a Game console, it has to be one of those game consoles in a arcade' Rai thought
"The beginning of a new era," Orochimaru cried, using magic to open the bag. "The dawning of a new age...demands...sacifice!" The bag disappears, showing a weak native, Joey Wheeler.
Katara was shocked and so were the other people. Ladyboreamon did a silent gasp. Edward and Raimundo were shocked as well. Orochimaru was going to kill Joey in front of them! Orochimaru, tied up, gets up and walks next to a ledge where in front of him was a giant swirling whirlpool.
"I don't like this." ed said.
"Edward, we've got to do something." Rai told.
Orochimaru raised his weapon in the air, about to slice Joey's head. Katara couldn't look as they covered their eyes. Joey's life would end...
"Stop!"
The Sannin turns to see Rai standing up to him.
"Hmm?" Orochimaru wondered.
"This is not a proper tribute!" Rai announced.
"You do not want the tribute?"
"No. No, no," Rai lied, not wanting the whole city to find out. "W-we want tribute. Uh, it's just that, uh...Edward, tell them." he said pushing him.
Edward turn to look at Rai and said quietly and sarcastically "Thank you for putting me in the line of fire pal." Before turning back to Orochimaru.
Edward thinks for a sec. "The stars are not in position for this tribute!"
"Like he says." Rai said taking Joey out of reach of the whirlpool. "The stars-Can't do it. Not today."
Orochimaru looks at Edward, who was serious. "Ah. Perhaps it is possible I misread...the heavens." he finally answered.
"Don't worry about it." Rai said. "To err is human, to forgive-"
"My lords," Ladyboreamon called. "May the people of El Dorado offer you our tribute." With her words, the tall, hot looking female natives appear, each holding a bowl of pure gold items. Rai and Edward's eyes widened and smiled. Edward smiled cause of the gold while Rai smile cause of girls.
"My lords, does this please you?" Ladyboreamon asked.
"Yes, very nice." Rai said.
"Certainly acceptable." Edward spoke eagerly. "Yes, lovely. It'll do."
"The gods have chosen!" Ladyboreamon announced. "To Xibalba?"
Rai and Edward grin. "No, no." Katara warned/whispered to them.
"To Xibalba!" The two yelled out.
Katara smacks her head. "Oh, great." Katara groaned sarcastically.
The people chanted as the woman head towards where Rai and Edward are, they smiled.
Suddenly, a girl (Sango) threw all the gold up into the air and falls off the ledge, into the whirlpool. Edward and Rai are shocked at this and saw more women walking toward the ledge and throwing the gold into the pool.
Their jaws dropped, looking over the ledge, seeing all the gold thrown away. Katara walks to them, crossing her arms at their mistake.
"Hey, Katara, um, what are they doing?" Edward asked.
"They're sending it to Xibalba. The spirit world." Katara explained.
Edward and Raimundo now realized the whirlpool was Xibalba as the women continue to throw the gold there.
"The spirit world." Edward repeated, looking as if someone told him his puppy died
"I'll take care of it." Katara said to them. Ladyboreamon was watching with happiness until Kimi comes to her. "Um, excuse me, queen? The gods have changed their minds about Xibalba. They wish to bask in the reverence that has been shown them."
Ladyboreamon got the message. "Stop!" she cried to everyone. The women stop throwing their gold, looking back at there queen.
Just then, a plate of gold was rolling toward off the ledge, but Edward looking at Xibalba, stopped it from falling off with his foot. "They wish to bask!" Ladyboreamon announced, "Take the tribute to the gods' temple!"
The women obeyed her and they take all the gold they had left and walk out, going to place all the gold in Edward and Rai's temple that they were going to stay in.
"Nice going," Edward whispered to Katara.
They and Rai walk out as Orochimaru watches them. Ladyboreamon walks by and turns to sannin with her pupils. She smiles and chuckles at Orochimaru, as she leaves with her two pupils, Dm and Yuemon sticking there tongue out while pulling one of there eyelids down. "Smile while you can," Orochimaru said to her coldly.
IMIMIMIMIM
Meanwhile, Chase arrives to the island where El Dorado, Edward and Rai are. His army and boats where there as Chase steps on and breaks a skull. He spots something on the beach, footprints from Edward, Rai, and Patrick.
"Well, well, well, what have we here?" Chase said with an evil smirk.
IMIMIMIMIMIM
Back in El Dorado, the people cheers as they watched a parade showing Edward and Rai. They were inside some kind of carriage, carried by a Rapidash with Patrick riding it going "Whooo!"
Inside, Edward and Rai were singing.
Edward & Raimundo: Ai-ai-ai. -Tons of gold for you, hah
And tons of gold for me, hoo
Tons of gold for we, ah
"Not bad for a day's work, eh?" Rai asked.
"Not bad at all. We just became richer than the king of Toon-spain," Edward said mentioning all the gold that's in their temple.
"You know, speaking of royalty," Rai said, "The queen and high priest seem a bit, uh, tense."
"Buenos días!" Edward exclaimed, "Listen, all we have to do...is keep there rivalry against each other to our advantage. You know, do a little god dance, chant some mystic mumbo jumbo, dazzle 'em with some smoke and mirrors and then get the hell back to Toon-Spain."
Rai smiled until he thinks about something else. "Um, Edward," he asked, "How are we gonna get all this back to Toon-Spain?"
Edward looks at Rai, knowing he's right. They have so much gold, even too much to bring for Patrick's strength. The gold might be heavy enough to sink the rowboat. "Ummm-" Edward was saying.
IMIMIMIMIMIMIM
Edward and Rai were in Ladyboreamon's temple as they asked him something. "A boat?" She asked.
"Yeah," Edward explained, " Um, we really hate to be ascending so soon, but, uh, some urgent business has come up- family matters-and it's just a bit- Yeah, family. Badda-bing, budda-boom, you know what I mean.
"Oh, we expected you to be staying with us...for the next... thousand years," Ladyboreamon states.
"Well, as we say in the spirit world, there's your plan and then... there's the gods' plan," Edward said,
"Mm-hmm," Rai agrees.
"And our plan, uh, calls for a boat," Edward said, "'cause we're gonna ascend...kind of in a horizontal pattern at first. And then we're gonna go vertical, uh, as we get further out to sea."
"Hmm," Ladyboreamon wondered, "To build a boat large and glorious enough... would take... about a week."
"A week?" Rai asked, "Hmm."
"Um-" Edward wondered, "I wonder how long it would take Orochimaru to do it."
"But-But for the gods," Ladyboreamon said after hearing them say something about Orochimaru, "Uh, three days."
"Uh- Well, if that's the best you can do," Rai said.
"Oh, perhaps if you were not burdened with so much tribute, you could leave sooner," Ladyboreamon explained.
"Hmm?" Rai wondered.
"Hmm?" Edward wondered and finally said, "I like it here. Rai?"
"Yep, yep," Rai agreed, "Three days is just fine."
IMIMIMIMIMIIM
Edward and Rai were back at the temple with Katara. Edward was finding earrings for Katara to wear. "No," Edward said, "Three days is not fine. This is a real-" He spots two golden earrings for Katara and gives it to her, "Mmm. these-these are the ones-" He turns to Rai. "Problem."
"Oh. Thank you," Katara said putting on the golden earrings.
"Rai," Edward said to his buddy, "How are we gonna keep this up for three days?"
"You worry too much," Rai smiled.
"No, I worry exactly the right amount," Edward explained, "You can never worry too much. We just have to lie low."
Rai smiles and looks out the great view of the city. "But, Edward, this place is amazing! I mean, I wonder what's-"
"No!" Edward interrupts and protests, "Don't even move!"
"Ed-" Rai was about to say.
"You're moving!" Edward protested.
"A little, but, come on."
"Hey! Hey! Hey! Stay!"
"I gotta-I-"
"Just... stand there!"
"I just-"
"Nyargh, Stay!"
Edward stops him. Rai was in a weird position but froze.
"For three days?" Rai asked. He suddenly loses his balance and falls down.
"Yes! Exactly," Edward exclaimed, "For three days. Don't even breathe. All right? All right. We lie low. No, ah, ah, ah, ah. Promise?"
Rai sighs. "Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. All right, all right," he said.
"Great! Good. Okay," Edward said, "Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to gloat over my gold." ed walks away as Katara and Rai see Edward kissing his gold. "Oh, yum, yum, yum."
Katara turns to see Rai enjoying the view of the city. "It's beautiful, isn't it?" she asked him.
"Yeah!" Rai answered.
"You know, you really shouldn't miss it," Katara suggested.
"I know," Rai said turning to Katara, "But I-I couldn't."
"Go ahead," She said, "I'll cover for you."
"Oh, good. Thanks," Rai thanked, "So, what happened to Patrick?"
"I don't know," Katara answered.
Raimundo looks to see the close is clear and he leaves the temple at break-neck speed. Katara lies down on a bench as she sees Edward singing and holding a pot of gold. "Edward goes for paradise," he sang but stops realizing something, "Hey, what happened to Rai?"
"I don't know," Katara answered pretending she didn't notice.
"Oh, my God!" Edward cried dropping and breaking the golden pot, "He's gone! Raimundo's gone! He's loose! What am I gonna do? Oh, no, no!" Edward sobbed and lies down on the bench.
Katara gets up and comes behind the bench and Edward. She laughs. "Oh, Rai is right," she said. "You worry too much."
Katara smiles seeing that Edward needs to relax, so she rubs Ed's shoulders. "Oh. Ooh. Oh, yeah. Oh, oh, down, down, down," Edward sighed but realizes something and gets up to Katara,
"No! No! Big trouble. Whoa! Look, sweetheart, we're in the middle of a con here, walking the razor's edge. On the one hand, gold!" Edward shows her all the gold they had.
"On the other hand, painful, agonizing failure!" He then shows a picture of humans being sacrificed and killed. "I can't afford any tempta-uh, distractions," Edward explained to her, "So, I'm sorry. So sorry. But perhaps another time? Another place, hmm?"
"Too bad," Katara said sitting on the bench, "I'm free now."
"I'm... not really sure I trust you," Edward said, his voice sounding as if he trying to win a battle but losing terribly.
"Mmm," Katara wondered, "I'm not really asking you to trust me. Am I?"
Edward looks at her, knowing that she wants him to rub her shoulders. "Whoo. Kay," Edward said. He rubs Katara's shoulders, feeling how soft her skin was. "Ooh, yeah," Edward said while he is distracted and Raimundo walks into the city.
