Chapter 8: The Snack Attack at Lunch, Nya?!
Rrriiinnnggg!!!
"Finally!" shouted Ray as he shot out of his seat and ran out of the classroom, 'I can plan the attack now and get out of this place!'
Everyone arched an eyebrow at the new kid's behavior as they soon got up from their seats and walked off towards the lunchroom. None of them realized that Ray was now in the cafeteria, making something for everyone. He soon left the kitchen before anyone could come in, leaving them a surprise for dessert…
"Hey, where do ya think the new kid went?" Eddy asked as he and the other two Ed's walked towards the lunchroom.
"Who knows?" Double D replied with a shrug of his shoulders, "He might have gone to the restroom, seeing how he was running."
"Hmm, yeah…" Eddy muttered as he then noticed the people in front of them; the five girls.
They all seemed to be discussing something among themselves. Eddy soon noticed Corina; she seemed to be a little upset, judging by her facial appearance. She also seemed a bit tired and fatigued. The five other girls noticed this about her too, except they knew the reason why she looked that way. Corina still had not gained back all of her energy, which was almost completely stolen last night by the mysterious tiger monster.
"Hey… you alright, Corina?" questioned Eddy to her, much to the other four girl's surprises. Double D and Ed seemed to smile a little at Eddy; seems like he got over his nervousness.
"… Y-Yeah, I am…" she replied to him, "I-I just feel a little tired…" she then placed her right hand on top of her forehead and bent over towards the front a little, as if she had a headache.
Eddy made a worried face towards her as he then noticed her growing paler in her face and on her hands. Suddenly, without any warning signs, Corina started to stumble while she walked.
"Corina…?" everyone questioned as Eddy could sense Corina starting to fall forward from a stumble. He quickly caught her before she fell. She had just passed out, "Corina!" her four friends yelped with surprised as Eddy then rested her up against the lockers on their right.
"I-It looks like she passed out from fatigue," Double D said as he then turned to Ed, "Ed, can you take her to the nurse?"
"… I'll do it," Eddy stated before Ed could say anything.
Double D was a little surprised for a moment before looking at the seriousness in his face and in his eyes, "… Of course," Double D replied with a nod of his head.
Eddy then picked up Corina bridal style as he then walked fast down the hallway, towards the nurses office. The four other girls and the two Ed's could only watch Eddy as he disappeared with Corina around the corner of the school's hallway.
After a half a second of silence, all of them could hear something growling from within Ed's stomach, "… I'm hungry," Ed then said.
"Yeah, I'm hungry too!" Kikki whined along with Ed.
"… I think I'll go see if Eddy made it to the nurse's office," Double D said with slight worriment, "After all, he's not the strongest person in the world."
"I think we'll go too," Renée said, "It's not like Corina to pass out like that…"
"Aww, but I'm hungry!" Kikki pouted a little.
"That's alright Kikki, you do not have to come with us," Bridget replied to the blond haired preteen.
"Yeah, you can save our table for us," Ichigo agreed.
"Okay," Kikki said with a nod of her head and a smile as she then proceeded to walk to the lunchroom.
Ed's stomach soon started to growl again, "I think I'll go too; my stomach's talking to me again."
Ed then walked towards the lunchroom, along with Kikki, while everyone else walked towards the nurse's office, leaded by Double D.
Meanwhile, back in the lunchroom, we could see Nazz, Kevin, Sarah, Jimmy, Rolf and Johnny 2x4 talking about the weird noises that they all heard last night that sounded like a scream; they seem to start remembering about it now.
"… You know, I had the strangest dream last night," Nazz started to say, trying to get off the subject of the weird noise. Everyone soon turned towards her direction, "I had a dream that I had turned into a white rabbit; ya know, like the ones that you see in the snow up in Alaska."
Everyone gave her a weird look; except for Sarah, "Hey yeah, I had a dream like that too; except it was with a red, bear-looking thing with a tail."
"You mean a red panda, Sarah," Jimmy responded to Sarah's statement, "I've heard about those animals; they're on the endangered species list."
Kevin was a bit silent at the conversation; seemed a bit weird to talk about turning into animals in you dreams, so he stayed off the subject by not saying anything.
Suddenly, Kevin, Jimmy, Johnny and Rolf all started to grow pale in their faces.
"Uh, guys?" questioned Sarah and Nazz with a bit of worry, "There something wrong?"
Meanwhile, back with Kikki and Ed, they were walking towards the lunchroom doors far up ahead when they suddenly heard a scream of terror coming from the lunchroom.
"Huh?!" they both questioned as they ran towards the lunchroom.
Kikki seemed to be the fastest runner of the two because of her small size, so she was far ahead of Ed. And when she got to the lunchroom doors, she opened them as they quickly closed behind her. There, standing in front of Nazz and Sarah, was another monster, except it looked like a demonic, off-white wedding cake with two legs, three arms (the extra arm was coming out of his chest), a set of eyes and a mouth.
"Oh… kay, wasn't expecting that," Kikki muttered as she then took in a deep breath, "Mew Mew Pudding… Metamorphosis!!!"
Soon Kikki transformed into Mew Pudding with a flash of yellow and gold light. This caught the attention of Nazz and Sarah (AN: And the off-white cake monster; don't forget about it!) as they turned to her.
"Dude, what's going on?!" Nazz stated with a little fright.
"Whatever's going on, I don't like it one bit!" Sarah growled a little as she then yelled something that was much unrelated to the event going on in the lunchroom, "Ed!!!"
"… Uh oh!" Ed muttered as he then stopped in his tracks at his little sister's yell, "Is Sarah mad at me?!"
He soon started running again as he suddenly had that same feeling that came to him last night; Ed transformed into Emerald Knight while he was running towards the lunchroom… too bad that he had all of his senses of being normal… or being himself, simply put.
"I'll save ya, baby sister!" Ed yelled aloud as he busted through the lunchroom door. As soon as he busted through the doors, Ed's Emerald Knights instincts kicked into high gear when he saw what was going on.
Pudding, Nazz and Sarah were being held by the cake's three hands, while Kevin, Jimmy, Johnny and Rolf were all in awkward positions; their energy was stolen. Suddenly, Pudding started to scream as you could see her energy being sucked out of her by the chest hand. Nazz and Sarah both had looks of horror on their faces.
Emerald made a gasp as he got out his claw-like weapons on both of his hands, "Don't you dare hurt Pudding!" he yelled as he then came rushing up to the cake monster and sliced its chest arm off from its body.
It screams in pain as it them drops Pudding, Nazz and Sarah from its three handed grasps. The cake monster soon disappeared into a dust as the four boy's energy soon floated away from the scene. Since Nazz and Sarah were not energy deprived, the two of them landed on their feet as Emerald caught Pudding before she could fall to the ground. Luckily for Pudding, Emerald's actions saved her from being completely energy deprived. His actions also saved Nazz and Sarah from their energy to be taken away from them.
"You okay, Pudding?" asked Emerald to her.
Pudding could only nod her head as Emerald then helped her to her feet. The two of them soon noticed that Nazz and Sarah were staring at the two.
"Dude, what in the world just happened?" Nazz asked the knight and Mew.
"Everyone's energy was stolen," Emerald explained to the two girls, "They'll gain it back though. You two might need to call the nur--"
Suddenly, Emerald stopped what he was saying as he then looked around, blinked a few times, and to say… "Butter toast?"
Pudding, Nazz and Sarah widened their eyes at this turn of events, "Ed?!"
"Yes?" he questioned as you cold see him magically appears back in his regular clothes.
"You're Emerald Knight…?" Pudding asked with awe.
"Uhh…" Ed had to stop and think about it for a moment, "… Maybe? What's an Emerald Knight?" he then noticed who was asking him the question; he'd recognized her, "… Kikki?!"
"Huh?!" questioned both Nazz and Sarah.
Pudding made a surprised face, "How did you--?!"
"You remind me of banana pudding, and so does Kikki; so you two must be the same!" Ed concluded.
Pudding made a sigh as she then magically transforms back into her regular clothing, "I guess some people can figure it out, eh?"
Nazz and Sarah, on the other hand, were both now confused beyond all reason at what was going on. Little did they know that something inside them was going to make a mark on them… literally.
... My "New Mew" senses is tingling! 8D More soon!
