Evil Kings, cute creampuffs, awesome powers, what more could any ed edd n eddy fan ask for? :D
King Dedede, followed by some waddle dees, led the three girls to a large room somewhere on the fourth floor of the castle. "You ladies be comfortable now, the clothes are inside and your new room is down the hall." He said, and opened the door. All three girls nearly fainted, their mouths agape. Inside were multiple waddle dees, working on clothings of every kind. Most of them were robes for the king. King Dedede pushed them inside and shut the door.
"It's kind of weird that Dedede would be so nice..." Alice said, scratching her chin as they walked through the room.
"Yeah, he was such an ass before." Alex agreed. Waddle dee's continued their tasks, ignoring them as they passed. A tiny little waddle dee ran up to them with a clipboard, pencil, and papers. It didn't have a mouth, so it couldn't tell them what it wanted. But there were instrusctions on the paper.
Draw up what you want us to make for you!
It read. Alex and Alice looked at Alyssa, since they weren't very good artists. The brunette gave her friends blank looks before sighing. "Fine, what do you girls want?" She asked, twirling the pencil between her fingers and tapping it on the paper. They didn't notice the shadow watching them from the halls, with beady yellow eyes. It left before anyone could look.
With the Eds
This guy was fast for a snail, Double D noted. The snail stopped and Ed bumped into his shell. The snail coughed a bit into his hand, probably to hold back some insults. "Here we are, your new room." He said, and opened the door to reveal more of a dungeon rather than a room. The windows were barred and the bed was just a matress attatched to the wall. A red dusty carpet in the center and a toilet in the corner.
"What the heck is all this?" Eddy yelled at Escargon. He just laughed and shoved them inside.
"You will be released when it's time for training, if you've got any smarts, maybe you'll leave then." The snail left then. Double D tried to push open the door. Locked.
"Uh, Eddy, we've got a bit of a problem..." Double D said, still tring to push open the door.
"Move aside. Let a REAL man handle this." Eddy said, pushing Double D to the side and pushing the door. No good. "Cmon... OPEN!" He yelled at the door and continued to try to push. "Ed! Open the door."
"Okey dokey!" Ed charged at the door, ready to bust it down when it opened and Ed ended up face first into the brick wall.
"So... more star warriors?" Said someone with a Spanish accent. Double D and Eddy looked out from the door to see a knight, wearing a metal mask, a dark cape, white gloves, and purple shoes. His yellow eyes glowed through the eye hole in the mask. Skin was navy blue.
"Star warrior? I have no idea what you are talking about, but thank you so much for releasing us! If I may ask, what is your name?" Double D said.
"I am known as Meta knight. Now hurry, you must go find your friends and leave. The king does not promise what he says. He plans to kill you during the tournament." Meta knight said. Ed fell out of the wall, shaking his head of the debris.
"But, how do you know this? Eddy!" Double D turned to see Eddy charging out of the room, pulling Ed to his feet and bolting down the halls. He looked back at Meta knight to see that he had disappeared. Double D blinked his beady little eyes before running after his friends. How mysterious...
In the kings courtroom
"Is everything going to plan Escargon?" Dedede asked, sitting on his throne. Escargon nodded.
"Oh yes your majesty! Everything is going according to plan."
"Good, because soon those three kirbys will be too exhausted and those girls will be perfect new specimens for my demon beast to snack on, isn't that right Chompy?" There was a loud growl coming from deep in the floor of the throne room. Both Dedede and escargon laughed evilly. A small waddle dee heard everything, and ran off to warn the girls and Eds.
An hour later
The Eds had been running up stairs, through corridors, and even out a window once in search of their other three friends. "Wow, those waddle dees made these perfect!" They heard Alice exclaim. Double D and Eddy hitched a ride on the speeding Ed, who was pretty much unstoppable now that he was running so fast. One of the larger doors opened as the Eds passed it. Three little heads were turned to see them step out of the room in their new attire.
Alex wore a long dark shoulderless forest green shirt that went just above her knee, white straps holding it up. She also wore black tights underneath and had some sneakers. Alyssa stepped out, wearing a white tank top and over it was a black corset with red lace holding it together, black skirt that was above her knee and black slip on shoes. Alice had on a black button up shirt with a blue tie, black shorts with a blue belt and black combat boots. All three guys were too busy gaping that Ed forgot to stop running and smacked all three of them into the brick wall.
"Was that them?" Alex asked, trying to look through the cloud of dust that Ed had kicked up while running. Alice coughed and tried to fan away the dust.
"You'd think that this place would be a little cleaner..." Ed, Edd, and Eddy ran back to them, bumps on their round colored heads. "What happened to you guys? You look like you smashed your heads against a brick wall or something." Alice picked up Ed and inspected the purplish lumps on his head.
"Forget the lumps! We've gotta get out of here, the king plans to-" Double D started.
"Have a tournament, we know, we were there you know." Alex said, poking at the lump on Ed's head. He flinched slightly.
"No! He actually plans to-"
"Why don't you guys come with us for a bit, we'll help you out with those lumps." Alyssa said, and they began to walk to their room. Double D tried to say more, but just sighed. Eddy elbowed Double D and pointed to the girls.
"They're going to take us to their ROOM Double D, don't screw this up for us!" He said excitedly, then ran after the group. Double D had to be amazed at his friends pervertedness, of all the things happening, he had to focus on that. The little red puff ran after his friends.
In the room
The room was very large, it had a living room, three bedrooms, a kitchen, bathroom, and a patio overlooking the town below. "Wow! This place is amazing!" Ed said, bouncing up and down on the couch in the living room. Alex laughed and plucked him off the couch. Alice got a first aid kit from one of the drawers and began to administer Eddy's bump. Alyssa picked up Double D and plopped him onto the couch.
"I can look after myself you know." He said, making a stubborn little pout and folding his arms. Alyssa looked him in the eyes.
"We both know that, but I want to do this for you." She said sternly, making Double D feel a little happy that she would care about him this much.
"So where are you guys staying?" Alice asked, finished with her job on Eddy.
"That cruddy snail locked us in a cell!" Eddy exclaimed.
"It's true, he did." Ed agreed.
"Hm, and exactly who let you out?" Alex asked, wrapping the gauze tight.
"Some guy named Meta knight." Double D said. All three girls froze.
"WHA?" They crowded around Double D on the couch, knocking both Eddy and Ed off. Double D sweatdropped slightly. The door slammed open to show a waddle dee.
"ORANGE MUTANT!" Ed screamed, then tried to suck it in but Alex bandaged his mouth shut.
"Um, hello there, do you need anything?" Double D asked, leaning into Alyssa's touch as she tried to put medicine on the bump. The waddle Dee ran into the room, slamming the door behind it. It started to wave it's stubby little arms about, signalling what he was saying.
"Um sorry, I'm not a very good charade player." Alice said.
"He says that the king plans to kill us and that we need to leave right away." Heads turned to see Ed, the gauze off and translating. Even the waddle Dee was surprised, he thought that the green one was the idiot of the group.
"Uh, okay then, but where would we go? We aren't familiar with this area and we need supplies, that's why we're here." Alyssa stated. The waddle dee scratched the side of its orange head before running off and out the door.
"How do we know we can trust him?" Double D asked.
"We don't have any other options, unless you prefer to walk on aimlessly without any idea what we're doing." The waddle dee came back in holding a map. It unfurled the map to show a blueprint of the entire castle. It pointed to a certain spot in the castle, indicating where they were at the moment. It made a few sounds as well.
Eddy elbowed Ed. "Translate." He said. Ed climbed onto the table and sat next to the waddle dee.
"We're right here." The waddle dee made a few more sounds and moved its hand to the mether reigons of the castle. "The smartest idea would to first find things these pretty young ladies can protect themselves with." Eddy and Ed glared at the waddle dee, it sweatdropped and continued its instructions, knowing it was walking on eggshells. It made some more sounds. "The armory is near the broadcasting room, where they make the ddd channel." Ed continued.
"Wait, they have tv here?" Eddy asked, the waddle dee nodded and pointed to the tv set in one of the bedrooms. Ed and Eddy looked excited, but before the green and yellow puffs could run off, Alice grabbed them and made Ed sit back on the table, and Eddy in her lap.
"Sounds good, but how do we know we can trust you? You're a soldier of the king, and not a very strong one at that." Alex pointed out, eyebrow raised and leaning back in her chair. The waddle dee looked a bit sullen then, it was cruel, but it was the truth.
"Hey, quit picking on the little guy. He seems different than the other soldiers, and we've got no one else to trust around here." Alyssa said, narrowing her brown eyes at the blonde. The waddle dee then perked up slightly and looked at her with big glossy eyes. Double D didn't like the way it looked at her one bit.
"So, you mind leading us to the armory?"
Deep in the heart of Dedede castle
The six walked down the dark stairwell, the large stone closed in walls made Double D slightly chlostrophobic (sorry about the miss spelling). They finally made it to the bottom, there was a room with a large red sign on the top reading 'ON AIR'. The waddle dee pointed to the door, making some more noises. "The armory is just past the broadcasting room." Ed translated.
Eddy and Alex peeked through the door to see Escargon and some waddle dees filming King Dedede with a horribly made kirby puppet. Dedede threw it to the ground and hit it with his hammer with intense force. Just past the cameras, Alex could see a door labeled 'armory'. Eddy's ego shrunk slightly seeing the fat king pound the puppet and they closed the door.
"They're all in there! How are we going to get past all those people?" Alex asked. The waddle dee shrugged.
"I've got an idea." All heads were turned to Ed.
"Wow, you're on a smartness streak, you know that?" Alice said, Ed beamed with pride.
An hour later
"And that's a wrap! Good job your majesty!" Escargon clapped as the obese king finished his show and walked off the stage. The door opened to reveal three somewhat large waddle dees and one regular sized one. "Who are you?" The snail asked snottily. The first one spoke up in a male voice. Sounds kind of familiar though... The old snail thought.
"We are... ahem... We are three waddle dees who have been thrown out of our village because of our size. We hoped to find jobs as soldiers here." It said. Escargon rubbed his whiskers in thought. Then looked at the small waddle dees working about.
"Seems like a good idea, your first task is-"
The second one stepped up. "To polish all of the things in the armory? Of course we will!" All of them walked to the armory with a confused Escargon watching them walk past. Dedede saw them as well, but just shrugged. More refugees to bask in the glory that was me probably. He thought.
All four of them rushed into the armory and shut the door. The small waddle dee flicked on the light switches and the girls pulled off the orange colored sheets with peach paint on it and eye holes. In their arms were Ed, Double D, and Eddy. "Wow, who knew that people around here would be so stupid?" Eddy remarked. Alice and Alex nodded their agreement but mouths went wide as the large show of weaponry was presented. The girls dropped the kirbys onto the stone floor and started to stare in awe at all the beautiful gleaming metal and carved wood.
The waddle dee led the way past many crates of swords, axes, spears, arrows, and even more shiny weapons to a more secluded spot. The waddle dee opened a crate hidden from anyone's view to reveal... clothing. Alyssa reached in and pulled out some red and black striped knee socks, Alex pulled out some green and black striped fingerless gloves, and Alex reached in to pull out two blue and black striped arm warmers. "This is nice and all, but how are we going to protect ourselves with these? They aren't weapons." Alice said, pulling on one of the arm warmers.
As soon as she said 'weapons', the clothing began to change. Alyssa's socks became long red and black gleaming swords. Alex's gloves became spiked metal gloves. She punched a empty crate and it exploded with wood bits flying everywhere. Alice's turned into twin rifles. "Wow..." The three said.
"Hey! What about us? Do we get awesome weapons too?" Eddy asked. The waddle dee shook its head no.
"He said no Eddy." Ed translated.
"I know that much moron! Why don't we?" Eddy yelled. The entrance to the armory then slammed open.
"WHO'S IN HERE?" Yelled the obnoxious voice of King Dedede himself.
