The New Guys

At 9:00pm three helicopters flew over the top of Stratnigrad, the home of Ed, Edd and Eddy, and landed on the helipads on the top the Wartech school. It was snowing lightly and the snow crunched beneath the Ed's feet as walked out onto the roof.

As ordered, the Ed's were wearing their best clothes.

Eddy didn't really have any "good clothes". Instead he wore a pair of black Nike trainers, a pair of dark blue jeans, a black shirt and a denim jacket.

Edd was wearing a black tuxedo and a black shirt underneath with a red tie.

Ed, not knowing much about appropriate clothing, was wearing an unbuttoned Hawaiian shirt with a white vest underneath, a pair of 3/4s and a pair of sandals. Ed's torso biomod made him resistant against heat and cold.

The three helicopters had different paint jobs showing which academy they came from. The one from Newer York was red with white stripes, in the middle was the symbol, a shield with two crossing swords behind it, on the shield were the big, red letters, NY.

The Riverdale helicopter was light blue on the top half and dark blue on the bottom half. The symbol was two rivers entwined. Riverdale was a rich city and the Academy was girls only.

The Illuminus City helicopter was completely black. The symbol was a stone man holding up his arms with a star in his hands. Illuminus City Academy was sports centred and had many jocks.

The doors from the helicopters opened and a ladder came down. From the Newer York helicopter came a bald kid with a big head and a single tooth overbite, following him came two smaller children, no older than 9. They looked delicate and walked without the confidence that people with biomods had. They were a boy and a girl. The boy had silvery blonde hair and wore an aqua green sweater and white trousers with a belt. The girl had orange hair and wore a pink jacket and jeans.

From the Riverdale chopper came two girls. One was a tall blonde, she was wearing a tight white long sleeve shirt with a black vest over it, navy blue jeans and black low-tops. The other girl was blue haired and wore a Nano suit. The suit was skin tight and dark blue, there were several ridges along her ribs, but otherwise it completely smooth. Her whole body, except for her head, was covered by the suit. Nano suits were rare and expensive, so this girl clearly came from a rich family. She also had an unnatural beauty, so she was also probably bioengineered whilst her mother was pregnant with her.

From the Illuminus City chopper came two tall boys. One was slightly taller than the other. Edd noticed that one had a dark blue vein that came up his neck then split into several smaller ones near his eye. This was not a vein, but in fact a wire. Only people modified within the last two years don't have this, they have a much smaller wire in their spines that can't seen. The tall boy had dark blue hair that seemed to have never been combed. He wore a pair of jeans and a yellow shirt with a red strip going across the middle and a black leather jacket.

The other boy was wearing a camouflage outfit with the top unbuttoned, underneath was a grey shirt with the Illuminus City Academy logo on it. He wore a red cap with a few red hairs sticking out the back.

Behind the students stood their own Directors. The Stratnigrad Director stood forward and greeted the new students and their Directors. "Greetings to all. Welcome to the Stratnigrad Academy." he said warmly, "I am Jacob Smyth, the Director of this fine school" he continued, "On behalf of the city of Stratnigrad, Welcome" he finished as he tilted his head forward in a bow.

The other Directors bowed back in a similar fashion.

"I will leave you to introduce yourselves and get acquainted with the other students. However, it is late and would advise that you leave all business until morning. I will show you to your new rooms" said the Director. He motioned towards the lift next to Ed, Edd and Eddy.

The new students removed their bags or suitcases from the helicopters and walked passed the Eds. As they walked passed they shook the Eds' hands before getting in the lift and descending. The other Directors got back into their helicopters and returned to their own schools, leaving the Eds alone on the roof.

"Well, they seem nice enough" said Edd to break the ice as they waited for the lift to return. "Yeah, but did you check out the ass on that Riverdale chick, DAMN" said Eddy, "You and your one track mind" replied Edd rolling his eyes.

There was an awkward silence.

"We should check out these guys' backgrounds, you know, just to make sure they ain't hiding anything" suggested Eddy, "EDDY! That would be an invasion of privacy and morally wrong" said Edd surprised at Eddy "besides, it would require hacking into closely guarded files on some of the most secure networks on the planet" said Edd, "yeah, that would be way too hard for someone with as little skill as you, huh" replied Eddy trying to annoy Edd, "oh please, I can hack that mainframe in two minutes" replied Edd defending his rep, "yeah, course you could" replied Eddy casually, "I can and I will, as soon as we get back to our room I'll get you every file on these guys" said Edd angrily.

"Cool" replied Eddy, "I look forward to it". Edd stood there for a second, proud that that had shut Eddy up, then realization sank in. "You did it again, didn't you" said Edd calmly, "Yup" replied Eddy with a grin on his face. "I hate you when you that. AND WHERE THE HELL IS THAT DAMN LIFT??".

Once the Eds had made it back to the warmth of their apartment, Edd got on his PC and plugged himself in. His eyes lost focus and a vacant expression took over his face as his mind delved into the Internet. He mumbled a few times as he hacked onto the schools' data bases, small words or sentences like "firewall...passed...redirect to file C... transferring data".

Eventually his eyes regained focus as he returned to his body. On his PC screen were the files of the new students. "There, Happy?" said Edd to Eddy, "yeah, now let's see who we're dealing with" said Eddy pushing Edd of his seat. "OK, let's see who blondie is" said Eddy as he found her file. "Alright, her name is Nazz Williams, she's 15, same as us, one of the best students in Riverdale blah blah blah, she's got a stealth biomod, invisible to humans and machines. From a rich family, no brothers or sisters" read out Eddy.

"Ok next is the blue haired one. Her name is Marie Kanker, same age as blondie, got a ..." Eddy paused as he saw the unusual biomod " ... a LEECH DRONE". "Leech drone?" said Edd as he heard this, "Yeah, well that's weird" said Eddy.

A Leech Drone is a mod that allows the user to break down organic matter to help repair injuries. It is uncommon and only used by military medics who can store the matter to help wounded soldiers, not to be expected from an upper class, well protected girl. "What else does she have?" asked Edd as he looked over Eddy's shoulder. "She also got an eye mod, so she can see through walls and has a zoom"

"What about the little kids, huh guys" asked Ed, Edd and Eddy were surprised Ed was paying enough attention to realize what was going on. "Yeah, well the little girl's name is Sarah Daniels, she's 6 years old and is unmodified, still fresh out of regular school", her little friend is a, Jimmy Robertson, 5 turning 6 later this year, again, unmodified, and lastly baldielocks, Johnny Smith 8 years old, he's got pre-biomod nanites in him, scheduled to be modified a month from now.

Nanites are the microscopic machines that run the larger machines in the user, they are the fuel behind biomods, after the biomods have been placed in the user, nanites are injected and they activate the biomod. Pre-biomod nanites soften the tissue and prepare the Central Nervous System for the biomod.

"Next we have the jocks" said Eddy as he open the ICA file, "Ok, the red head is Kevin Miller, world class bi-athlete and and multi-award winning swimmer. He's got bot control and EMP blast mods" Bot control is a brain mod that allows the user to control security drones, cameras and turrets.

"Then there's the guy with the wiring. One Rolf Aqabar, an Egyptian exchange student. Wow, this guy has a bunch of biomods, most of them black market (Black market Biomods are like normal mods but much more powerful and effect different areas of the body. They are illegal in most countries but can be found in developing countries. The main traders of Black market biomods are the Genetoo.) "serious? Like what?" asked Edd, who had always been interested in BLBM "well he's got a Corrosion mod in his right arm (a mod that when the user touches metal it will rust incredibly fast), in his left he's got a Corrupter mod (a mod that whenever the user touches living tissue, nanites jump onto it and destroy the cells like cancer), he's got a Viral mod at the top of his spine (when the user plugs himself into a computer he can upload a computer virus, normal hackers can't do this because it requires them to carry the virus which would destroy them.)

"Cool, I can't wait to meet these guys properly tomorrow" said Ed happily, "Yeah, me too. But don't let them know we have their files, act like you don't know them" said Edd, "Sure, no problem. I'm an expert liar" said Eddy "well I'm gonna hit the hay" said Eddy as he stretched his arms "good night".
