Okay, so I have no excuse. Just that I got bored of Get Ed reruns and stopped the story... I fully intend to get this baby up and running again! One more thing... Tell me if I got the character's right--still not sure if I've got them down yet!

"Oh, Ed, I have a little present--" Bedlum stopped mid-sentence and looked around Ed's room. It was completely empty. "What? Kora!"

Kora showed up right beside him. "Yes?"

Bedlum pointed into Ed's empty room while looking at his female hologram. "Look in that room and tell me who's missing..." He growled through clenched teeth.

Kora glanced into the room, then crossed her arms. "It looks like Ed needs some discipline. My data suggests he isn't anywhere in the tower either. He's probably making trouble around town,"

"No! He might be caught or seen!"

"Well if someone would have dis--" Kora started but stopped when Bedlum glared at her.

"Say one more word and I'll shut you down for good..." She shrugged and disappeared. Bedlum frowned and went down to the computer room to check the monitors.

Meanwhile, the Dojo were still utterly shocked from the footage they saw. Loogie looked back at the screen again and laughed. Everyone looked up at him curiously.

"We got it all wrong, guys! That's not Ed! That's his evil twin, Eed, made by the monkies to help them take over the world!" He said, dancing around the monitors. Dr. Pinch hit him over the head to make him stop.

"Give it up, Loogie," Burn mumbled.

Ol' Skool took a closer look at the monitor, squinting. "Wait a second, guys. Loogie might be onto something..."

"What are you talking about, Ol' Skool?" Fizz asked.

"Are you saying that's not Ed?" Deets questioned, practically jumping out of her seat. The others following her lead, eyes bright with hope.

"No, that's definately Ed," And they're down. "But there's something different about him--and it's not just his clothes. See his eyes? They're red, not blue,"

"So what?"

"So maybe Bedlum did a little more to Ed than I feared..."

"Like what?"

"I think Bedlum messed with Ed's DNA structure causing it to be unstable and warp him... He's not himself," Ol' Skool looked at the picture of Ed again, unbelieving it. "At this rate, if we don't fix him soon, they'll be no turning back. It'll be permanent."

Ed walked through the city slurping a smoothie. He finished it and tossed it on the ground next to a dumpster, not bothering to pick it up. The dumpster saw this and glared at him.

"You again? How many times do I have to tell you to--" Ed took out his slammer and, in a flash, sliced off one of its lids. He put his slammer away, hopped on his hoverbored and sped away at top speeds, not saying a word--just smirking.

Ed's watch beeped and a hologram of Bedlum appeared. He seemed to be very angry but Ed just gave him a stupid smile and a short wave. "Hey Dad! Do you need another package to be delivered?"

"What do you think you're doing, Edward?" Bedlum seethed.

Ed looked around and shrugged. "I was thirsty so I got a smoothie. What's wrong?"

"Yes, there's something wrong! What did I tell you about leaving the tower without your gear? What if someone sees you?"

"Then, I'll just beat the snap out of them!" He punched his hand, smiling.

Bedlum growled, then sighed. "Get back to the tower right now,"

"But--"

"Now!" With that, the hologram disappeared. Ed just frowned and sighed, taking off even faster on his hoverboard. He was almost at the tower when something happened. His eyes widened and he slowed down a little. His eyes flashed from red to it's normal, natural blue.

An image of a boy that looks exactly like him with blueblack hair and blue eyes, even a blue jumpsuit, flashed through his head. It was him and a younger girl with brown hair on their vehicles zooming through Sector 9. The girl seemed scared.

In the next image, it was of him and the girl in a large mansion seemingly searching for something.

The final image showed the girl giving him a weird-looking necklace. A large crystal-like thing on a chain. He was happy for it. "Thanks, Fizz!"

Ed came to a complete stop right outside Bedlum's tower. He shook his head, then looked up at the tower, momentarilly forgetting why he was there. He mindlessly walked inside and, as soon as he was, it all came back to him and his eyes went back to red. He sighed and continued walking.

"Dad's gonna kill me..."

When he reached the main room that he figured Bedlum would be in, he stopped and waited, shaking. Bedlum turned around in his chair, angry-looking.

"Why didn't you tell me you were leaving, Edward?" Bedlum hissed.

Ed smiled shakily. "I didn't think I had to."

"Well you do,"

He shrugged. "Okay. Won't do it again. That solve that, right?" He yawned. "I'm beat. See ya tomorrow!"

"Hold it. We have to discuss your punishment... How about scrubbing the Riot Bots until they shine?"

"Aw, man! Do I have to?"

"Yes."

"Alright... 'Night..."

Yes? No? I have a twist!
