Chapter 1: Strike Up The Ed!

Arriving at one of the many retailers that inhabit New Meridian the Ed's stepped out of their van and the more reckless Ed's began making their way towards the entrance of the store however just as they were was about to make their entrance the two where suddenly pulled back by Double D who looked annoyed at their antics. "Hey!" Eddy yelled out as he removed his friend's hand from his jacket. "What the heck, Double D why'd you stop us we gotta get some stuff if we're gonna survive."

Glaring at the scammer, Double D reached into his bag pulling out a notebook and pen. "Listen Eddy while I respect your dedication to turn a horrible situation upside down, ever since we were young you never think things through." Opening the notebook, the genius began writing at alarming speeds. "Luckily you have me to help make sure that your plan goes smoothly." Ripping out the pages from his notebook, Double D handed them out to his friends as he made his way towards the door. "Gentleman, on that paper I gave you is a list of vital necessities we need for our current living quarters, Ed you'll be charge of bedding, okay?"

Nodding his Ed in confirmation, the ginger saluted his friend with a dumb smile plastered on his face. "You got it Double D, I Lothar humbly accept this quest." Getting down on his knee and bowing his head towards Double D, causing his friend to let out a small laugh at how Ed was able to turn a little shopping excursion into a full on quest in his mind.

Deciding to play along for his own amusement and to get on Eddy's nerves a bit more for not looking into the hotel to make sure it was legit. "Sir Lothar, tell me, do you vow to complete this quest and bring back all of the items in pristine condition?" Double D questioned in his royal voice, ignoring the gagging sounds that most definitely came from Eddy. Nodding his head at the question, Ed stood up with a completely void of any emotion as he accepted the list from his friend. "Then I wish you the best of luck on your journey." With this Ed marched into the store as he began his quest to complete the list given to him by the great tactician D.

"He's not gonna follow that list you know that right?"

Which brings us back to the present where we see the lovable oaf known as Ed was working his way through the shopping isles trying to find the items on the items. "Pillows, blankets, sheets." Ed mumbled out loud as he continued searching.

"Oh my." A voice called out, causing the Ed to stop his searching as he began looking for the person who spoke, moving to the back of the store, the red head watched as a little fish woman dressed in a kimono appeared to be reaching for something.

"Huh, it seems that an elderly merfolk is in need of help!" Stuffing Double D's list into his pocket, Ed began making his way over to her.

Looked up at the top shelf where a carton of duck eggs, she so desperately needed rested on top completely out of her reach, the Dagonian sighed as she tried to catch her breath from all the jumping she's been doing trying to get them down. "Humph, what kind of store does this don't they know most people can't reach that high." Trying her hardest the old woman once again started to jump up and down trying to reach them however as she was about to give up and look for them somewhere else when a yellowish arm easily grabbed the eggs.

"Here you go, miss." Bending down, Ed handed off the fish eggs to the old lady who accepted the eggs with a small bow towards the teen.

"Oh, why thank you, young man." Putting the eggs in her basket, the Dagonian turned back to the Ed with a thankful smile on her face as she rummaged through her kimono, pulling out a flier and giving it to the teen. "Oh I can't let a good deed like this go without a reward, here you go."

Accepting the flier, Ed looked over it for a second before raising it high into the air. "Thank you miss, I Lothar humbly accept this gift and shall cherish it till my bones become one with the earth!" He told the women as he was currently in the mindset of being the viking Lothar and the lady seemed to take this all in stride as she simply laughed at the teen's overly active imagination heading over to check out. Seeing that his side quest was completed, Ed began looking over his reward for helping the old lady. "Head on over to Yu-Wan's down at Little Innsmouth for authentic Dagonian cuisine's, use this flier to get ten percent off." Having repeated back what the flier said, Ed took this time to admire the little fishman with knives on it. "Neato, I wonder if the Innsmouth taste good?"

"Ed!" Flinching at the sound of his name, Ed turned around to see a fuming Eddy standing behind him with two baskets full of cleaning supplies. "You no good idiot, here I'm being treated like some pet, while you just stand there helping out random people. God I knew letting you go off by yourself was a bad idea. Here I this running around this entire fucking store because Double D told me to get the best cleaning supplies they have we need to have a source of proper hygiene if we're staying in that trash heap!" He ranted as he shoved the basket into Ed's hands while also snatching his flier. "Hold this, while I read what you got here, lumpy." Giving the flier a quick read, Eddy quickly pocketed it as he began making his way over to the bedding section. "Well I guess this wasn't a total loss, lumpy at least you got us a cheap lunch, now let's go complete your list." Smiling at how his friend was more annoyed with how Double D was ordering him around than with Ed not finishing up his list.

"Hey, Eddy, wait up." Snapping out of his little trance, Ed began making his way over to his lifelong friend as they hurried to complete the list not wanting to hear Double D's rant about how they couldn't follow the simplest of plans.

Now while the two Ed's were on the other side of the store running around trying to finish Ed's part of the list, Double D was taking his time in the fruits and vegetables section of the store. "Should I really be picking out these vegetables after we don't even know if that house has a working stove, decisions, decisions." Shrugging his shoulders, the genius decided to forgo these thoughts and just add the eggplant to his baskets. "And with this, my vegetable stir fry is now complete, I just know the others are just gonna love it." Humming a small cheerful tune, the smartest of this Ed's happily made his way over to checkout.

"Well, well look what we have here." Hearing the smug voice of Eddy, Double D stopped his humming in favor of just giving his weird a blank stare at the scammer who was happily relaxing by the entrance with all of his items packed into bags that were carried by Ed. "To think that the person who made that stupid list will also be the last person to show up to purchase the things from the list." Not bothering to indulge in Eddy's pointless argument, Double D handed his vegetables over to the cashier while he took out his wallet to pay.

"I think he's ignoring you Eddy?"

*Smack*

"Shut it, lumpy." Rubbing the back of his head, Ed followed his friends back to their van as he and Double D put the bags into the back. Getting back into the drivers the trio pulled out of the store but instead driving off to their new home, the van stood still in park much to the confusion of Double D till Eddy spoke up. "Make yourself a useful sock head and pull out your GPS, we're heading over to someplace called Yu-Wan's." Which did nothing to help alleviate his confusion at to why their going to someplace called Yu-Wan.

Feeling a bit cautious about the sudden detour and Eddy's silence, the genius decided to ask. "And why are we going to this Yu-Wan's exactly?" In response to his question Eddy dug into his pocket and threw a piece of paper into Double D's face who easily peeled it off and glared at his friend before turning his attention back to the paper. "Ten percent off any meal at Yu-Wan's down at Little Innsmouth, where did you even get this?"

Knowing it was his turn to speak, Ed moved his head in between the seats. "Oh, oh I know the answer to this call on me Double D!" However instead of just giving a straight answer, Ed decided to raise his hand like they were still in school.

Seeing this made Double D chuckle at just how childish Ed could get. "Alright, Ed, I'll let you explain why we're going to this Yu-Wan's." Smiling at his friend's happiness, Ed sat up a little bit straighter as he began retelling what happened earlier. Eddy was in the driver seat scrolling through his phone clearly looking for something, seeing this drew Double D's curiosity as he basically got the gist of why they're heading over to Yu-Wan's. "Eddy." He called out quickly, gaining his friend's attention who all of a sudden stuffed his phone into his pocket.

Looking nervous for a split second, Eddy put on his best smile and turned to his friend. "Yeah what is it, sock head? Have you got the location of that restaurant yet?" He asked, trying to deflect the upcoming topic that both knew was going to come up and despite knowing that Eddy was hiding something, Double D decided to respect his friend's wishes.

'I hope this doesn't come back to haunt us.' Bringing out his phone to the surprise of Eddy, he quickly typed up Yu-Wan's and placed the phone onto the dashboard. "Alright we're going to have take a right over to the downtown area if we want to make over to the restaurant if wanna have lunch on time." Staring in shock at how Double D instance backed away from the subject of his phone, Eddy couldn't help but smile at how much his friend trusted him.

"Alright, food for Ed!" Cheered the lumpy idiot oblivious to his friend's current dilemma as the trio drove to Little Innsmouth in what would be complete silence if it wasn't for Ed saying whatever came to his mind.

Medici Headquarters - Lorenzo's Office

"Vitale are you sure this girl can handle this task." Questioning his son, Lorenzo looked at a video showing off the boy's favorite muscle in action. Now usually Lorenzo would've laughed at the sight of a circus performer telling him that they were a highly trained assassin and after laughing at them he would riddle them with bullets and toss them into the ocean. But apparently this girl wasn't just an entertainer for the riff raff below, but no apparently this girl somehow managed to form a partnership with the living weapon Vice Versa.

Nodding his head, Vitale closed the laptop and handed it off to one of his many assistants. "Trust me father, I promise that Cerebella will be able to capture that pesky feline for us as well as keep that blood sucker under control."

"Oh?" Hearing a voice speak up both Medici's turned to the entrance of Lorenzo's office as New Meridian songstress strutted her way into the office followed by bodyguards Albus and Horace. "Lorenzo, Vitale I can't believe you two are bad mouthing, the Canopy Kingdom's most cherished singer. Can you imagine what the press would think if they found out an old man wearing diapers was harassing me into doing his dirty work." Forgoing the dramatics, Eliza smiled at the reaction of Lorenzo who despite his withered body looked ready to rip out her throat with his teeth. Taking a seat before his desk, Eliza put on her most smug smile as she looked Lorenzo in the eye. "So tell me what can I do for my most generous benefactors?"

Seeing his father was more focused on the various ways he could torture the singer. "Now, now Eliza, we only want your aid in taking back a precious family heirloom that was stolen from us."

Chuckling at seeing Vitale try to play peacekeeper for his father, Eliza leaned back into her seat as she began wondering about the situation. "A precious family heirloom?" She said out loud in fake confusion before snapping her fingers. "Oh my Vitale don't you mean your family's prized life gem, I thought you already butchered the thieves who took it from you?" Letting out a fake gasp shifted her attention back to Lorenzo

Shaking his head in annoyance as Eliza kept his father's buttons. 'Honestly, why now of all time does Dahlia have to be away if she was here I wouldn't have to worry about father doing something rash.' On most occasions Vitale usually wasn't concerned with how anger his father would get with someone because despite losing his eternal youth, Lorenzo was still able to keep a cool head after all you couldn't just run a mafia with just fear and the threat of death but someone Eliza just knew what would upset the old man and it was starting to get on Vitale nerves. "Listen Eliza, all we need you to do." Reaching into pocket, the Medici heir showed the songstress a photo of a cat girl titled Nadia Fortune. "Bring this girl to us."

Accepting the photo, Eliza gave the girl a one last look, handing it over to her bodyguards so they could also memorize her face before turning back to the Medici's. "That girl 's a little young, don't you think Vitale?" Not waiting for a response she continued on with her questioning. "I mean seriously did a wittle girl outsmart the great Lorenzo Medici." Slamming his fist onto the desk, Lorenzo finally snapped and lashed out at Eliza.

"Listen here you blood sucker I have had enough of your incessant mockery!" With veins bulging throughout his head, Eliza smiled as she watched the old man blow up in front of her. "I will not have you nor anyone, mock the name that rules the underworld of this foolish kingdom, next time you speak out I'' gladly have each of my men take a pound of flesh from you!"

Rolling her eyes at the threat that Lorenzo would most definitely follow up on, Eliza decided that now was the time to stop toying with the old man's feelings. "Alright, alright a lady can tell when she's not wanted." Standing up, Eliza snapped her fingers towards her bodyguards. "Horace, Albus be a dear and prepare the car for me." With that her bodyguards bowed and exited the office. "I assume you'll have my reward for this mission at the usual place, correct."

"Oh course."

"Great, I have her back before 9."

As the deal between the songstress and high ranking mafia was completed however unknown to them a third party was currently listening and heard the entire conversation, far away from their headquarters resting in an abandoned warehouse was Terrance leaning back into a chair as he listened in on their conversation. "All according to the plan, baby." He spoke out to no one in particular as he took another drag from his cigarette

Little Innsmouth

"I can't believe this place, imagine having to walk around this dump because they made this place out of the cheapest wood they could find!" Having arrived at Little Innsmouth in search of Yu-Wan to make use of their discount, the trio was shocked to find out that the area was mostly made out of wood and that you couldn't drive in the area. Which didn't really bother Ed and Double D but Eddy was a bit outraged at the fact he had to walk around instead of just drive.

"Come on Eddy, walking isn't that bad after all your legs aren't small anymore!" Ed told his friend trying to encourage to move forward but unknowingly pushed one of Eddy's buttons, mainly the one about his shortness which he would still get upset about because despite getting a growth spurt he was still the shortest out of his friends.

Deciding to release some of his anger Eddy decided that it would be a good idea to give Ed a good kick. "OWCH!" It didn't turn out so well as the scammer was now nursing his bruised foot. "Jesus, lumpy what the hell are you made of?!" He questioned and not really understanding it Ed decided to answer it in the worst way possible by rolling his shirt and showing off his chiseled chest and six pack.

"You see Eddy I got this from all that work I did on Rolf's farm." He bragged but his friends weren't paying attention as their eyes moved away from his abs for different reasons. Eddy moved his face because he was disgusted at the thought of looking at another's man chest and Double D looked away with a blush as he was embarrassed by the sight of his friend suddenly taking his clothes off.

"Ed! Put your shirt back on right now, mister , this is public indecency, you could go to jail for it!" The embarrassed genius yelled out as he scrambled away from his friend. Hearing the words 'go to jail' Ed started to sweat furiously.

"I can't go to jail guys, because if I do Sarah will tell, mom will tell dad and he'll just say 'ah he's grown now who cares,' while he watches tv!" He shouted out in complete hysterics as he pulled his shirt so hard that it almost tore in half.

Now this brought out a small chuckle from Eddy as he enjoyed seeing the chiseled giant and was still scared of sister telling on him. "Man, the more things they the fucking same am I right!" Bursting into a full gut busting laugh having to lean onto Double D to support himself. "Imagine being that jacked but you're still scared of a little girl, hahaha!"

However while Eddy was laughing Double D wasn't having any of it due to his friend spit getting on his shoulder. "Ed, could you please get Eddy for me."

"Wait what?" All of a sudden Eddy was lifted off the ground. "Gahh! What the hell!" Fumbling in the air, the scammer tried his best to fight off the idiot's grip but there was no way he nor anyone could which led to Eddy ceasing his struggling in favor of being carried around like a purse. "I'll get you both back for this."

Not caring about the threat, Double D smiled as he finally got everything under control. "Alright everyone, I believe that the restaurant you are looking for is just around the corner." Waving Ed over who was still carrying the simmering Eddy the trio began making their way over to the restaurant all the while admiring the scenery that Little Innsmouth had to offer. "I have to say despite being so far away from the city, Innsmouth is truly a beautiful place to look at." Nodding his head in agreement, Ed decided to put his own two cents in about how beautiful the Dagonian populated town looked.

"Yeah, Double D just look at the water you guys, it's so shiny."

Now while the Ed's where distracted by Innsmouth's beauty, Eddy saw this as a chance to escape from his friend iron grip noticing that it was a bit looser now that he was less focused on keeping Eddy tied up and so taking advantage of this opportunity the scammer immediately swung his body to the escaping Ed's grip. "Freedom!" He yelled out to the shock of Double D and ignorance of Ed who was still memorized by the water and seeing this stoked the flame growing inside Eddy as his friends seemed to have forgotten the only reason they came here.

"Arghh! Why are you idiots caring about this dump so much, can we hurry it up and get something to eat!" He yelled out loud to the disgust of nearby Dagonian who were disgusted at the remarks the human made about their home and one particular resident of Innsmouth wasn't going to let it go.

"Hey you with the red jacket and shitty blue hair!" Shifting their heads over to the new voice the Eds were greeted by a young woman wearing a trench coat who looked to be about their age however the thing that caught their attention was the pair of cat ears on top of her head. "You should know while Innsmouth ain't purrfect we still have some great selling points around here." She told the group but was mostly focusing on Eddy who was smirking.

Stepping away from his friends the loud mouth scammer walked up to the cat girl, a smirk still plastered on his face. "Well kitty witty how about you show us what's so good at this dump." Eddy said, issuing out the challenge to the women.

"Don't worry I will, oh and one more thing."

*Kick*

Clutching his family jewels, Eddy fell over to the ground. "Whyyy." He squeaked out as the cat girl loomed over him with her smirk turning into a cat-like smile.

Bending down she began petting the injured scammer on the head like a puppy. "Simple, don't call me kitty witty." Ceasing her petting the cat girl turned to the remaining Ed's who began clutching their own jewels in fear of what the girl would do. "Hey guys, don't worry I won't hurt you." Laughing at their reaction the women turned away and began walking in the direction she came from but stopped when she realized the Ed's weren't following her. "Hey what are you people doing? C'mon I still gotta show you guys why Innsmouth is the cat's meow!" Not waiting for their response the women began walking away from the stunned Ed's.

Moving away first, Double D made his way over to Eddy who was completely unconscious. "Well it looks like Eddy's silver tongue has backfired once again, Ed would you please carry our friend." Nodding his head Ed slung his friend over shoulder and began following the cat women.

"Today's been going great hasn't it Double D?"

"I suppose it has, Ed."

End of Chapter 1

Author's Note: Sorry this took so long to come out I was going have it done the week after I posted Ed's move list but I had a bit of writers block and struggled writing that little innsmouth section. Then all of a sudden, my time was just gone for the next two weeks as he went about searching for jobs and applying to IT program to get certified and I might not get into that because it runs on a lottery system so I may have to wait a whole year to actually get into it and then the holiday's came along. So I wanna apologize to the all my readers.

Next chapter is going to be Double D's move list and if your wondering about Eddy well he's going to get a parasite and I'll like to here your ideas for it.
