Thank you all for reading! I'm glad that you enjoyed chapter 1 enough to read it and even favorite it! Just... too bad it was only four people who did that. But well, it's still a bigger number than zero so...

There's also one review! Hooray! Let's answer it:

Winky Keaton: Thanks for reading, kid! It's a pity that I can't follow most of your suggestions... see, the point of the fic isn't 'bring the Eds to Sorami' or 'bring Sorami to the Eds'. My emphasis is on the crossover aspect, which is to say, on the Eds and the other kids having to deal with the Angeloid presence. Not only that, but really, Tomoki not being Ikaros' Master... I'm sorry, it just doesn't work to me.

Still, thanks for reading, and I hope you'll have other ideas you might want to suggest! And for the rest of you, enjoy!

Groan. Noises.

"I think he's waking up, Eddy!"

Another groan. More noises.

"Well, it's about time, Sockhead!"

Why was it so noisy right now?

"Are you okay, Master?"

Edd's eyes opened as soon as he heard those words, and he tried to sit up. 'Tried' being the keyword; the sudden jolt led to him hitting his forehead on Eddy's, as he realized shortly after the bump to his head.

"Ow! What's with the violence, Double-D?" the short boy asked, rubbing his head and three strings of hair in the process. Edd didn't answer at first, instead doing his best to focus on his surroundings.

They were still at the junkyard, as shown by the amount of garbage that surrounded them, and both his friends were standing close to him. At a first glance, it seemed like nothing had really changed, and the hat-wearing boy ran one hand over his forehead.

"Phew!" he let out, smiling. "It would appear I simply had a terrifying nightmare, but no more." That confused both Ed and Eddy, as they stared at him.

"What are you talking about, Double-D?" Eddy asked, and the sock-wearing boy stood up, doing his best to brush his clothes clean.

"Why, is it not obvious?" he asked them, sounding quite confident. "After whatever happened to send our good old Central Command flying, I must have knocked my head against one of the walls and collapsed into the sweet bliss of oblivion. After all, there is no way I could have ever been told that I was anyone's master, no matter what the reason would be."

Edd chuckled, right then, but to his surprise neither Ed nor Eddy had done so. "Geez, denial much?" the latter simply replied, drawing a look from Ed.

"Double-D's Egyptian?" he asked, but Eddy ignored him.

"Well, Sockhead, you might wanna check on your hand again!" he said, surprising Edd; when the latter took one look at his right hand, he saw it was wrapped in a metallic chain, some kind of harmless green pulse flowing through the links and all the way to a point he couldn't tell. And connected to the chain was…

"Are you okay, Master?"

It was to the hat-wearing boy's credit that he did not fall unconscious again, once he saw the red-haired angelic being standing right behind him, her chain nestled between her breasts. She was staring at him with a curious expression on her face, those green eyes looking straight at him in a way that made him feel quite uncomfortable, and not just from the way she was somewhat bent over him.

"I-I-I-I…" Edd stuttered, his tongue nearly tying itself as he tried to speak. Seeing how his friend was now utterly useless, Eddy decided to do what he always did in such situations and take charge of it.

"So what the heck just happened?" he asked the winged girl, tapping one foot. "Did you fall from the sky or something?"

"I don't know…" she said, her voice quiet. "All I remember is waking up after Imprinting on Master. Did something happen?"

"That's what we want to know!" Eddy snapped, indicating the crater on the ground still nearby. "Was it you who did this? Where did you come from? Why did you do that 'printing' thing on Double-D?"

"When I woke up, Master was the first person I saw," she explained, somewhat unsure. "I simply performed my necessary function…

"You mean, like a robot?" Ed asked, all smiles. "Cool! We found a real robot!"

"Ed, be more polite!" Edd admonished him. "This girl is not a robot!"

"Actually…" she interrupted him, much to their surprise, and put one hand on her collar's chain, "although it is not the precise definition… you could say that an Angeloid such as myself is a 'robot'."

Eddy blinked. "Wait, what?"

"In one of your languages, the word 'robot' would be translated to 'servant', and that is my role." Her wings flapped gently again. "I am an Entertainment-Class Angeloid of the Alpha-Type, Ikaros. It is my duty to serve you, Master, and perform whatever tasks you wish me to."

"W-w-wait… 'servant'?" Edd repeated, eyes widening, even as the other Eds heard that as well. "You mean… you have to obey me?"

She nodded. "Yes, Master. I must obey your orders."

"But I don't want you to do that!"

"I am sorry, Master." While Edd stared at her, quite disturbed, Eddy was busy taking into consideration the actual meaning of her words.

"Did you just say you have to do whatever we say?" he asked, and she nodded. "Anything? Anything at all?"

"Anything that my Master desires, I must obey," Ikaros explained, before bowing slightly. "But if the two of you are affiliated with my Master, I see no reason I should not obey your orders as long as my Master does not forbid it."

"P-please don't say things like that…" Edd requested, quite nervous now, just as Eddy got one of his nastiest grins.

"Alright, girly, here's the thing. Sockhead isn't going to give you orders unless you can prove you can really do anything we want." That caught the redhead's attention, and she stood straight again. "So, why don't you go ahead and show us what you can do? Like say, get us some money?"

"Yes…" she acknowledged, taking out some kind of plastic card with a glowing gem on the back. The Eds had just taken notice of it when it started to glow, breaking apart and reconfiguring itself into a new shape. "You wish for… money, right…?"

"E-Eddy!" Edd stammered, looking back and forth between them. "What are you doing?!"

"Oh, come on, Double-D!" the shorter boy said, a bit too loudly. "This is our chance to figure out more about her! If she wants to obey commands then why not-"

"Is this enough?" Ikaros asked, showing them the object she held; although it was like a calculator, it was quite cutesy, with the cartoonish wing on the front. The number on the screen was quite large, however, higher than any amount either of them had ever thought of.

Eddy was silent for a few seconds. "Um… yes…?" he let out, and she pressed a button. One second later, he found himself buried alive underneath a pile of something soft and paper-like, which had fallen on top of him for some reason.

A few seconds later, the short boy had managed to get his head out of that pile, though he was covered in small cuts. "Ow! What the heck?!" he managed to say, carefully; even his tongue seemed to have been cut, or at least he was worried about that.

"Oh, dear…" Edd hesitated to say, as he looked at one of the paper things on his hands; while Ed was busy poking at them, he was performing a more focused examination. "Eddy, what have you done?"

"What have I-Sockhead, I just fought my way out of this stupid pile of paper! What are you glaring at me for?" Eddy complained, only to see what Edd was holding - a 100 dollar bill. One of many, in fact, with the rest of them resting all around him.

Cash signs replaced his eyes completely at that point.

"WOO-HOO! MONEY! MONEY MONEY MONEY!" he cried out, a large grin on his face, while throwing the bills to the air. "WE'RE RICH, BOYS!"

"Eddy! What are you saying?!" Edd interrupted his cheerful cries, even as Ed started to swim on it like it was water. "This isn't a normal situation! You can't just accept it this easily and act like there's nothing wrong!"

"I should have known you'd find something wrong in us getting rich," Eddy grumbled, his grin turning into a scowl as he tried to build a throne out of the many, many bills that neither he nor Ed had managed to fool around with yet. "Actually, I am the one who should be complaining here! You managed to land face-first on the biggest pair of boobs around these parts and instead of yelling at you, she's calling you 'Master' and doing whatever you want! That's not fair!"

Edd nearly fainted again when he was reminded of his unfortunate trip. "W-well, that… that has nothing to do with this! We don't know where this money came from, and I very much doubt it's actually valid currency considering it seems to have literally been spawned out of thin air!"

Upon hearing that, the short boy took one of the notes, giving it a good look-over against the light. "Nope! No way something like this can be fake!" he declared, before smirking. "But hey! We can ask our new friend here to give us a device to confirm if these are fake or not if you want!"

"That's another thing!" When Eddy tried to make his way to Ikaros, Edd got between them. "You can't just give her orders willy-nilly! This isn't right!"

Eddy looked at Ikaros, who was looking at them in confusion, the only expression she seemed to have in her blank face. "You're making a really big deal out of this, you know."

"Well someone has to!" Edd turned back to face the Angeloid, raising his chained hand. "Take this off."

"Huh?"

"I refuse to take part in this. I'm absolutely not going to have anyone as my slave, and force them to obey orders!" he explained, quite serious. "Take it off now!"

"…I cannot."

Hearing those words literally stripped the color from Edd's body.

"I cannot remove the chain from my body or yours like this. It's the representation of the Imprinting I've done on you, to ensure maximum efficiency." Her wings flapped slightly, as she looked at him with those sad eyes of hers. "I… cannot obey that order."

"But… but that's not fair!" the hat-wearing Ed-boy complained, unhappy at this situation. "Slavery is wrong! You can't just go around, calling me Master, saying you'll do anything I ask for, and then-"

"Hey Sockhead!" Eddy interrupted this time, pulling him back. "Remember what she said? She's a robot! As in, not a real person!"

"Well I find that hard to believe-"

"I freaking tugged on her wings, Double-D! Those things are real! And she just created a machine that made us richer than ever! We don't even need to scam anymore!" Eddy's expression was strange, coming from him. He was smiling like when he had a great (and oftentimes terrible) idea, but he also had at least some degree of seriousness this time. "Do you need her to strip down and show that she's a machine or something?"

That made the boy turn red like his shirt, or even more. "N-now, now, Eddy, there is no need for such jokes-"

"Master… should I do that?" Ikaros interrupted, drawing their attention as she stood right next to them. Even Ed stopped fooling around with the money she had brought to them, while she pressed her own hands against her clothes. "Should I… 'strip down' for you?"

"NO! No! Just… just no!" Edd quickly interrupted, grabbing Eddy's mouth before he could say 'yes'. "It was just a joke! Not intended! Please do not take him seriously!"

"Yes, Master," she said, making the hatted Ed-boy sigh with sadness.

"What did I get myself into this time…?" he wondered, quite unhappy. Right before he could say anything else, however, Ed suddenly appeared right from under him, lifting his head such that now he was riding his shoulders.

"Ooh! Ooh! My turn, my turn!" the tall Ed cried out, all smiles. "I want a comic books and monster movie store that'll let me get all the comic books and monster movies I want for free!"

"Ed! What did I just say?" Edd snapped, hearing that. "You're not supposed to be ordering her around like that! It's wrong to force someone to obey you, and I have already made it clear that-"

"But I want my wish to come true, Double-D! I really, really do!" Ed begged, interrupting him.

"No means no, Ed. I think it's about time the two of you would stop indulging your exacerbated ids and started to behave more properly! Why, if you took the time to educate yourselves more adequately, I am sure that your issues with your grades and your popularity would end quite easily!"

"Wish, Double-D! Wish!"

Eddy pulled his friends' hands off his mouth, at this point, already annoyed by the growing argument. "Can you even do that, anyway?" he asked Ikaros, who stared at him. "You know, create the store and all?"

Ikaros just nodded, even as the calculator turned into its card form with a burst of light. "It should be possible, yes… this should be able to do it."

"Do it! Do it! Do it!" Ed begged as he suddenly moved towards her, Edd falling off his back from the sudden movement. "I want it to look really cool and be full of comics and movies and I want it to let me get whatever I want!"

After pulling his face off the dirt, Edd glared at him. "Ed! Stop!" he cried out, but Ikaros had already nodded. The card turned into light again, just before it took off towards the cul-de-sac.

Ed grinned as he followed it, first with his eyes and then his feet, leaving the others behind. "Wait for me, magical firefly!"

"Ed! Have you even been listening to me?" Edd complained as he ran in pursuit, his own uneasiness discomforting. Eddy was about to follow when he noticed that Ikaros had flapped her wings just the once, before she started to follow her Master - by flying.

His eyes widened as he actually had a glance down her skirt. The shock was such that he tripped on his own foot, landing face-first on the ground as well. "I can't believe this…" he groaned, his voice muffled by the dirt.
