Ed Edd n Eddy
Future ShockED
Chapter 6
It had been two days since the Eds left the flooded cavern of the Blue Cyber Plank. The Hoverbus had sunk into the poisoned mud, leaving the four adventurers resting on rocks surrounded by dead vegetation.
"I heard from a good chap named Wilfred about this place." Eddd said, commenting on the murky surroundings. "You guys go through here in your future, but right now, it's been contaminated by the Gourd's villainous waste used from his factory."
"Yeah yeah, whatever…" Eddy interrupted, taking off his shirt and wrapping around his head like a bandana. "We just need to get outta here! This place reeks!"
"Uh, Eddy?" Ed said, looking around. "Where's Double D?"
"I'm over here, Ed." Double D said from a makeshift hut within the confines of the polluted trees and undergrowth. "I've been working on something to help us get in contact with the Peach Creek Force." He pulled out a crude looking device resembling a cell phone, but with one of his Energy Bombs from his catapult fused into it with an antenna attached to the sides.
"What's that piece of junk gonna do?" Eddy complained.
"It'll allow us to contact the Peach Creek Force!" Double replied with annoyance.
"Yeah, Eddy, Double D already said that." Ed said, giggling over Eddy's head.
"Not so close, Lumpy!" Eddy roared, jumping onto the oaf's body sending them flying towards Double D. The three Eds caused a collision, making the hut collapse on top of them with Triple D outside waiting the see come out. From inside, Double D's machine was sparking with blue jolts of electricity. Double D scrambled out from the wreckage to see his friends come out too.
"Now look what you two have done!" he growled with a scolding look. Just behind him, his gadget fired a beam of lightning at a rusty old pylon coming out of the toxic mud. Others soon rose out of the gunge as the first pylon started repairing itself, from looking rusted and ruined to brand spanking new. The beams of lightning aimed at the murky depths, creating an eerie blue glow from the slimy waters. Ed hid back under the wreckage of Double D's hut, as a massive hovercraft vehicle burst out from the dirt and slime, rusted and unusable.
"Good Lord!" Double D shrieked, as Triple D hopped over to join them.
"I say, what's going on?" Triple D asked, he faced the hovercraft, and watched as the electricity pulsed through its circuits, transforming the dirty scrap metal into shining silver armour plating.
"The pylons must be repairing this old vessel long abandoned by someone!" Double D said in amazement, watching the Hovercraft become fully repaired, falling into the mud with a light splash, bobbing on the surface. Ed crawled out from his hiding place, smiling with glee upon eyeing the hovercraft, glinting in the sunlight.
"Can I drive?!" he said with excitement, rushing towards the craft, only to have Eddy beat him to it and jump on his head.
"Sorry, Speedy." Eddy snickered, greedily rubbing his hands near the wheel. "The leader gets to drive!"
"Though that isn't exactly you, is it, Eddy?" Triple D said disapprovingly.
"What was that you said, Birdbrain?!" Eddy growled, leaping towards the mutated chicken, only for him to find himself crashing into the back seat. He turned around to find Double D take the steering wheel himself.
"Buckle up, gentlemen!" Double D said from the front seat. Ed pulled a cord from behind the seat, and shoved into the seatbelt buckle, only for to electrocute him a bit.
"Ha ha ha ha!" Eddy laughed from behind him, pulling out what he thought to be a seatbelt, over to look to see it was a Cyber Plank! "Holy Crap! It's one of those metallically enhanced floorboards!" he screeched, shoving a gamma bomb in the floating robot's face. There was a bright flash, and the Cyber Plank's head was nothing more but scorched fragments of metal.
"That was close…"Triple D exclaimed. Just then, an alarm went off, firing a whole load of rectangular objects into the air.
"Double D, GET US OUTTA HERE!" Eddy roared, jumping out of his seat and slamming his fist onto the gas pedal, making the vessel instantly speed off in an explosion of mud, dowsing the squadron of Cyber Planks in minutes, but not all of them were destroyed.
"Eddy, get back to your seat, hold those atrocious robots off while I try to make contact with the others!" Double D screamed over the din of the engines.
"Fine." Eddy said unenthusiastically, walking over to the other end of the boat with Ed following him. The Cyber Planks floated ever closer to the ship, with tiny guns coming out of their eyes.
"ATTACK THE MECHANIZED TWO BY FOURS!" Ed roared, firing Gravy into the air leaving a steaming hot trail on the toxicated mud. Eddy's Gamma Bombs pelted any Cyber Planks that got too close. Underneath the swampy depths, Ed noticed a giant lump swimming around, heading for their ship.
"Eddy…"he said nervously.
"Not now, Monobrow, we're in danger here!" Eddy shouted over the noise of the bombs and scorching gravy. Ed turned to Double and Triple D, only to find them in a conversation of their own.
"Hurry, Triple D! Make Contact with the Peach Creek Force!" Double D commanded from the driver's seat. The mutant chicken furiously tapped into the keypad on the device until static on the screen changed to a symbol saying "Signal Found." Ed could only watch helplessly as a giant frog robot exploded out of the muck and slime.
Meanwhile, in the Nazz Jeep, Kevin felt his communicator ringing.
"What is it, Kevin? Jimmy said curiously, as they sped through the abandoned field, except it was now a barren wasteland with dead plants and green ooze pulsing out of cracks in the ground.
"Choice, it's the Eds!" Kevin replied. He heard an explosion and Double D's breathing through the speakers. "Double D, can you hear me?"
"He can't talk at the moment, he's busy driving us away from a giant mechanized amphibian, but I am Triple D, the mutated chicken that Ed found." Triple D's voice buzzed through the tiny device
"WHAT?!" Rolf leapt in upon hearing Triple D's mention of his species.
"What was that about a giant robot frog?" Sarah butted in.
"Geez, you two! Leave me to this. You look out for Cyber Planks!" Kevin commanded. The two members of PCF did as they were told and left him alone. "So, you heard Sarah, what was that about a giant frog?"
"Well, Ed noticed it while we were fighting a squadron of Cyber Planks, and now it's chasing us."
"That's the Green Cyber Plank 2.0!" Kevin yelled. "Guys, you need to get out of there! If it catches you, you're finished!" The signal cut off for a moment, which made Double D sweat, before it suddenly came back. "We're…oming…to…et yo…hold hi…off…ile we…get ther…"
"It's out of range…" Triple D said helplessly.
"Well, I've found a suitable escape route, tell Ed Eddy to hold on tight, because this is going to be one nasty drop!" Double D shouted back. Triple D ran to the back to the craft toward to the two Eds.
"Buckle up, chaps!" Triple D hollered. "Your accomplice is planning to drop us down into that pit to lose the Green Cyber Plank 2.0!"
"You can always count on Sockhead to save our bacon!" Eddy joked immaturely, only to be given a nasty look by Triple D. Ed rushed to his seat grabbing, Eddy by his neck tying him around his middle as a makeshift seatbelt. Double D's eyes were stuck open, not even blinking to get the muck out of his eyes. He put his foot down on the pedal and the hovercraft exploded in a trail of slime all over Green and his soldiers. The robotic amphibian watched his prey fall into the giant ditch.
"Oh no you don't!" Green spluttered, diving underneath the mud to catch up with them. The hovercraft landed with a crash into the dirty but solid ground.
"Phew, that was close, gentlemen." Double D said while gasping for breath. "We should be safe here until the others pick us up." Ed heard a low rumbling noise coming through the wall behind them.
"Are you sure, Double D?" Ed asked, watching the wall cautiously.
"Course he's sure, Lumpy!" Eddy shouted, slapping Ed in the back. "That hopping scrap metal won't get us!" he added arrogantly. Just then a loud crash came from the wall, with cracks starting to show.
"I don't think Green's given up yet…" Double D said nervously, as Green came crashing through the thick muddy walls of his arena, only for it to cave in behind him.
"Oh boy, fresh flies!" Green said, with a voice that sounded like burping.
"Hop it, French bait!" Eddy yelled rudely. "The last of those colour coded tin cans was tougher than you!"
"Oh yeah? Well, how about this for an attack?!" Green belched back, hopping into the air about 200 feet in the air for his size. He landed in the centre, sending the craft with the Eds on board flying into a wall, and creating gaping holes in the walls of the arena, sending toxic waste pouring in slowly.
"You're insane!" Double D exclaimed. "Even someone such as us isn't worth a risk like this!"
"Can it, Sockhead!" Eddy interrupted. "Let me do the talking, we're worth any risk!"
"Sometimes, your mouth isn't needed, Eddy…" Double D replied under his breath.
"Fine, a battle it is!" Green burped. "If I don't kill you, the toxic fluids will!" He jumped into the air prepared to dive into the Eds' vehicle, but Double D put his foot down and made the craft speed off, to the other side of the pit. Eddy threw a Gamma Bomb the landing area of Green's jump.
"Sucker!" he yelled as he watched Green fall on his bomb with a mighty bang. The smoke cleared to find the giant frog still standing.
"Do you really think a cheap trick like that is going to beat me?" Green burped mockingly at Eddy. He stuck a long metal chain with a sticky ball on the end. It narrowly missed the craft by a few inches, gluing itself to the ground.
"What's the matter, Froggy?" Eddy roared mockingly. "Feeling a little tongue-tied?!"
"Doh! Curse this flipping tongue!" Green said with a sad lisp.
"Now's our chance!" Ed shouted, prompting Double D to speed across the robot's metal appendage until they were in his mouth. "ATTACK!" Ed roared, firing gravy all over the creature's insides, with Eddy throwing bombs and Double D firing energy blasts from his catapult. Green's eyes started glowing red, like he was in pain, and belched the Eds' vehicle out of his mouth and into the wall.
"Damage report, Triple D!" Double D yelled out to Triple D.
"Minor scrapes on the armour plating!" Triple D squawked out, before pointing to Green. "Look out!"
The giant frog jumped into the air higher than before, almost out of the Ed's view before he came down with the force of a meteorite. More holes in the walls appeared, pouring in more of the poisonous gunk that Green was accustomed to swimming in. The arena was soon flooded with the stuff, but the Eds' craft was left bobbing on the surface, while Green dived down to launch his next attack. He stuck out his tongue again, but this time it grabbed one of the craft's propellers!
"This'll teach you, you wankers!" he gurgled from underneath his dirty domain, as he slowly started to pull the craft into the swampy depths. "A slimy grave awaits you dorks!"
"Why that foul-mouthed freak!" Eddy growled, holding up his hands, creating a green ball in his hands.
"Eddy, what is that?" Double D said in amazement.
"Whatever it is, it is most certainly a sight to behold!" Triple D exclaimed.
"Don't bug me!" Eddy hissed, now holding a giant bomb in his hands. "EAT EL MONGO GAMMA BOMB!"He roared at the top of his voice, chucking the giant explosive ball down the creature's tongue. It bounced down into Green's mouth, becoming firmly wedged inside.
"Crap!" Green choked as he tried to get the bomb out, but it was too late. The bomb exploded in his mouth, ripping off his upper jaw and causing the rest of his body to sink into the mud. Double D looked up to find something shiny heading towards him. He caught it with precision and discovered it was Green's microchip, similar to Blue's but with a frog symbol instead of a kraken.
"Looks like these microchips can be used to manufacture devices." he said, studying the bizarre component carefully.
"Heads up!" Ed called out, as two black and purple-pink arms wrapped themselves around their hovercraft. They hoisted the ship up until they saw a group of familiar faces.
"The Peach Creek Force!" Double D said with glee.
"That's us!" said Kevin, as Nazz hoisted the gang up onto their carrier, along with the vehicle that saved their lives. "I see you've defeated Green!"
"And Blue!" Ed said proudly, trying to sound like Double D.
"That's extra good news, Ed boys!" Rolf replied. "But we must tell you something urgent."
"And what might that be?" Eddy said, pretending not to listen.
"The Kanker Sisters are against us now!" Jimmy butted in.
"THE KANKER SISTERS?!" the Eds shouted in shock and disbelief.
"Yes, it's true, we ran into them on the way here." Sarah said sadly. "But we defeated Yellow too!" she said brightly. "That's what's making this ship fly!"
"So, what are we gonna go with Green's?" Ed asked.
"I think we'll make it into something to aid our navigation." Kevin replied. "Because where we're going, is the Underground Steelworks!"
