Chapter 9:

Behind the Mustache

"Ouch, this hurt more than the time Rolf smashed my Better-Than-Jimmy's-Play-Safe-Suit."

Eddy mumbled this as he woke up from the crash he noticed Demongo's mustache was more of a robotic space station.

"Edd, Ed where the heck are you!"

Eddy, I think one of my arms is broken, and I saw Ed, he fell out of the plane during the crash, either the black hole got him, or the soul collector." Said Edd.

"Ed, after we saved him, we lost him. I promise that I will destroy Demongo." Said Eddy.

Eddy, I thought you never wanted to get old, but you –cough- sound like a mature adult. Good luck, maybe the hypnosis is powered by Mandarkness, a chemical –cough- that pollutes minds. Find and destroy it." Said Edd.

"Thanks Double Dee. I'll come and save you." Said Eddy.

Eddy wandered around the mechanisms of the mustache. After hopes seem lost, he then saw a big, evil, container of darkness.

"Bingo!" Said Eddy.

"Yes, the power is amazing, but it is all mine!"

Who's there?" Said Eddy.

"Is that bravado real? I'll have to find out."

What looked like a small dot turned into a giant creature with a muscle like body, armor, and wings that could be easily be confused with large cannons eight tentacles attached onto the floor and roared a mighty call, magnified by his inky, green liquid body. Eddy fell to his knees at his being there, the hideous, Lord Fuse.

"What is wrong foolish mortal? Where's your bravado now! IS a stun cannon too weak for you to stop me?" Said Fuse.

"Run Away!" That was all that could come from Eddy's lips, while he ran through the path Fuse laugh at his cowardly status.

When Eddy found Edd at the entrance he spoke with Edd.

"Why would Fuse want Mandarkness? He's evil enough, and Mandarkness can only be activated by Mandark." Said Edd.

"I don't care!" Said Eddy. "How do I kill Fuse?

Please Eddy, a stun cannon! Yet you said that he was standing on the same platform as you? We can use that.

How?" Said Eddy.

"The mustache is under the nose, a sneeze from Demongo could multiply the hold on gravity and cause Fuse to lose balance and fall into the mustache.

Cool Sockhead! How do we do that?" Said Eddy.

Edd took the arm that wasn't broken and aimed at the hole. He then took a scrap piece of metal and launched into the hole.

"Gah! Debris in my nose! Debris in my nose!" Screamed Demongo.

"I'm going to ah, ah, ah choooo!"

Demongo sneezed as hard as he could, and Eddy could just make out the words,

What the deuce? Fuse fell into the mustache, certified with a thud.

"Eddy, go and smash the mandarkness!" Said Edd.

Eddy did as he was told. He found the container and hit the self destruct button.

"I hate you mortal!" Said Fuse miles down, stuck between two gears.

"Help!" Said Demongo.

He noticed that the mustache walls was compressing, but then he saw that everything was shrinking. Then Eddy realized that Edd needed to escape.

Sadly He was too late, but they were compressed out of the hole. Edd stood up with his arm limp. Then they ran straight into the soul collector, but he said this:

"Please forgive me, I was possessed by Mandark and I was wondering If we could be friends.
