Prologue: The Gathering: The Heroes.
Peach Creek, Cul-De-Sac, Ed's House...
"So what did you want to show us Ed?" Edd asked.
"My new video game that will blow your brains out of your head!" exclaimed Ed.
"Cool. What is it?" Eddy asked.
"Aliens From Outer Space, Part 11," Ed said.
"Not another Aliens From Outer Space game," Edd said.
The Eds were having a fun summer. Ever since the event of Eddy's brother, things have been peaceful at the cul-de-sac. One day Ed called both Eddy and Edd to show them something cool, but it was just another Aliens From Outer Space game. Just as Ed was about to pop it in his GameStation, someone came knocking at Ed's front door.
"I wonder who that could be?" Edd said.
"It's probably the Aliens from outer space, ready to suck our brains," Ed said.
Even after the events with Eddy's brother, Ed was still his goofy self.
"I'll get it," Edd said.
"Be careful Double D, the aliens could suck your brains," Ed said.
"I'll be sure to keep that in mind Ed," Edd said as he went to the front door.
When he answered the door, it was the mail man.
"Letter for a Mister Ed?" the mail man said.
"I'll give it to him thank you," Edd said as he received the letter.
When Edd closed the door, Ed came rushing in swinging a bat. "Crush evil monsters from space!" he shouted.
Edd was lucky. Ed nearly swung his head off if Edd didn't dodge in time.
"Ed stop! There are no aliens!" Edd said.
"Oh," Ed said as he stopped swinging the bat around.
"I tried to stop him," Eddy said. "You know how Ed is."
"You don't need to remind me Eddy," Edd said. "Here Ed, a letter came for you."
"Christmas came early guys!" Ed said as he took the letter.
Edd then looked at the letter as Ed took it. It's address was "1901 Haven City Building."
Haven City? I've never heard of this place, Edd thought.
Ed opened the letter.
"Read it to us lumpy," Eddy said.
Ed nodded as he began to read.
"Dear Ed
I've sent this letter in the hopes that you can join a competition that takes place every year. It is called DEATHRACE. As you can tell by the name, it is a racing competition. Here you will compete for one million dollars, a trophy, and an emerald called the Paramount..."
"One million dollars?" Eddy exclaimed. Even though Eddy gave up his scamming ways, he still likes money.
"Keep reading Ed," Edd said.
"But other then the prizes, there is another reason why I want you to compete, which I will explain once you get here in Haven City. I have plane tickets for you in the envelope, nine of them, in case there are friends of yours who want to come. By the time this letter reach you the competition will start in one week. I want you guys to be on the plane by today. I'll explain everything else once you come.
From,
Josh Bilbo."
After Ed got through reading the letter to the other two Eds, the Eds looked uneasy.
"I'm surprised you read all of that Ed," Edd said.
"Me to Double D," Ed said.
"What is DEATHRACE anyway? It doesn't sound like a friendly competition," Eddy said.
"I know what it is guys! I saw it on TV. DEATHRACE is a racing competition that takes place every year. Besides racing, there are other events to like DEATHMATCH. The cars people use in DEATHRACE are cars that have machine guns, rockets, and any type of weapon. And people aren't afraid to use them," Ed said.
"That doesn't sound very good," Edd said.
"Why does this guy wants us to race anyway?" Eddy said.
"Who knows Eddy? The letter said that he'll explain it to us when we arrive in Haven City." Edd said.
"What's Haven City?" Eddy said.
"It's a place where the competition starts," Ed said.
"I say we not join this dangerous competition. With weapons such as that and one million dollars at stake, I say we not do it," Edd said.
"Now hold on Double D. We could win a million dollars! Do you know what we can do with that type of money?" Eddy said.
"But Eddy-" Edd started.
"No buts! Why don't we just go to this Haven City and see what this guy has to say. Come on Double D", Eddy said.
Edd thought for a moment.
"Well, this Josh character might have a good reason for this. And judging by the letter he might be waiting for us. Okay," Edd said.
"What about you lumpy?" Eddy said.
"I always wanted to go to a place with the word Haven in it," Ed said.
"Well then that settles it! Onto Haven City!" stated Eddy.
I'm not going to like this, Edd thought...
Aron City, The House of Johnny Bravo...
"Mama I'm home!" Johnny said as he stepped into the house.
"Johnny. How was the beach?" Bunny Bravo said as she went up and kissed Johnny on the cheek.
"It was good Mama," Johnny said.
"That's great sweetie. Oh, by the way, you got a letter that came for you. It's on the desk," Bunny said as she pointed to a letter on the desk.
"It's probably from Suzie," Johnny said annoyed. "She always sends me letters with pictures of unicorns or flowers, even though we stay right next to each other."
"Well then open it," Bunny said.
Johnny took the letter from the desk and opened it...
Townsville, the house of the PowerPuff Girls...
The PowerPuff Girls were sitting at the dinner table eating breakfast.
"Professor, your eggs are the best," Blossom, the leader of the trio said.
The other girls agreed with warm smiles.
"Why thank you girls," Professor Utonium said.
Just then their was a knock at the front door.
"I'll get it," the professor said as he got up.
When he answered the door, it was the mail man with a letter.
"Letter for the PowerPuff Girls," the mail man said.
"I'll give it to them," the professor said as the mail man handed him a letter. "Girls, you got mail!"
The girls flew to the front door.
"Really? Who's it from?" Bubbles asked.
"The letter comes from a place called Haven City," the professor said.
"Haven City?" the three girls said in unison...
Philadelphia, Sector V
Numbuh One, a.k.a. Nigel Uno, was at the tree house of Sector V. He was relaxing in his room. Ever since their last mission, things have been quiet. No adults or teens haven't been trying to stop childhood, which was a good thing. But he was bores out of his mind. Just then Numbuh Two, a.k.a Hoagie Gilligan, came into Numbuh One's room.
"Yes Numbuh Two?" Numbuh One said.
"A letter came for you Numbuh One," Numbuh Two said.
"Who's it from?" Numbuh One said.
"It doesn't say, but it's from a place called Haven City," Numbuh Two said as he handed Numbuh One the letter.
Numbuh One read the contents of the letter...
Endsville, at Billy's house...
Billy, Mandy, and Grim were sitting on the couch and watching TV. Ever since their last adventure in the Underworld, things have been boring for them. Even Grim's powers wouldn't rid them of their boredom.
"I'm bored",Billy complained.
"Grim, isn't their anything fun we can do?"
"Well-" Grim couldn't finish his sentence as the doorbell rang.
"Mandy, could you please answer the door please?" Billy asked politely.
"Sure. Grim, get off your skeleton butt and answer the door," Mandy said.
Grim got off the couch and headed to the front door. While he was going to the front door, he mumbled something about kiling those kids. When Grim answered the front door, it was the mail man.
"Letter for Billy," the mail man said.
"I'll take it to him," Grim said as he took the letter.
"Here Billy, a letter for you," Grim said.
Billy's eyes shined.
"Cool! Someone loves me!" Billy said as he took the letter.
When he opened it, he couldn't read it because of his low IQ.
"Mandy, could you read this to me please?" Billy said as he handed Mandy the contents.
Mandy started reading it...
Washington D.C
Freakazoid, as usual, was "flying" around Washington D.C, waiting for someone call a cry for help. Although their hasn't been any trouble around lately ever since the Lobe's last defeat, things have been quiet. Although Freakazoid still likes to pretend to fly around the city. While he was "flying" Freakazoid spotted Cosgrove at a hot dog stand. Frekazoid "flew" to him.
"Yo Cosgrove. What's up?" Freakazoid asked.
"Hey Freakazoid, I've been looking everywhere for you. There's this letter for you that came at your house, and your parents wanted to give it to you," Cosgrove said in his usual undertone.
"Thanks," Freakazoid said as he took the letter and read the contents...
Somewhere in a world that looks futuristic.
The samurai named Jack was walking in busy looking city, with flying cars and robotic drones. He got a message from a droin named C-10, to come to a building named "Mail Station." He was walking for a few minutes until he finally found the building, besides a hot dog stand. He went inside. When he did, there was a fat looking robot at the front desk.
"Are you Jack?" the robot said.
"Yes," Jack replied.
"You have a letter from someone," the robot said as he took out a letter and handed it to Jack.
"Who is it from?" Jack asked.
"Beats me," the robot said.
Jack went outside the building and opened the letter. When he read the contents, he was suprised.
"Oh my-" Jack didn't finish his sentence as a white light engulfed him...
South Carolina, Fosters Home For Imaginary Friend
Mac, Bloo, Eduardo, Wilt, and Coco just got through from playing outside.
"Man Mac, you stink at football," Bloo said.
"Well your not so good yourself. You kept dropping the ball," Mac said.
"That's because you imagined me with no arms or legs," Bloo said.
The group laughed. Just then came up to Bloo with a letter in his hand.
"Here Bloo. A letter arrived for you," the rabbit said.
"A letter for me? It must be one of my fans," Bloo said.
"I doubt that," Mac said.
The others agreed.
"Whatever," Bloo said as he opened the letter and read the contents...
In Nowhere Kansas.
It was the usual scene at the Bagge's house. Muriel Bagge was carrying Courage on her lap in her rocking chair, while Eustace was reading the newspaper in his red chair. It was quite and peaceful, and Courage couldn't ask for more. Until their was a knock at the door.
"Now I wonder who that could be?" Muriel said as she put down Courage and got out of her rocking chair. She answered the door. It was the mail man.
"Letter for a mister Courage?" the mail man said.
"I'll take it to him," Muriel said as she took the letter from the mail man.
"Courage, you have mail," Muriel said.
Courage's ears went up.
"I wonder who's it from?" Courage said as he took the letter.
He opened it (with great difficulty since he's a dog and has paws) and read the contents...
Atlanta Gerorgia, in Dexter's laboratory
Dexter was experimenting with chemicals for his latest project. He couldn't wait to try it out. Things have been suprisingly quiet at Dexter's home, Dee Dee doesn't bother her as much now, due to the fact she's busy with ballet practice, and as usual, his parents are just as quiet as ever. He could finally continue his reasearch in peace. Of course, that's what he thought, when the bell rung. The bell was a way for Dexter to communicate with the outside world. When the bell rung, his messanger robot comes and deliever a message to Dexter. And it did.
"Yes, messanger robot?" the short boy asked.
"There is a letter for you, Dexter," the robot said as he handed Dexter a letter.
"Thank you messenger robot," Dexter said.
"Your welcome Dexter," the robot said as it went somewhere else in the lab.
Dexter opened the letter and read its contents.
"Well, this could prove interesting," Dexter said as he stopped doing what he was doing and got up from his chair...
1901, Haven City building.
In a small looking building in a place called Haven city, there was a circle shaped room that could fit a lot of people. It looked very comfy, with chairs all around, sofas, a TV hanging on the wall, and a mini-bar. In the middle of this room a middle aged looking man looked like he was waiting for someone. And he was. Just then, the front door opened and a swarm of people came in. They were all the people who received a certain letter.
"Wow! Comfy looking room. This place is cool! Is that a mini bar?" Freakazoid zoomed around the room with electric speed, all the way to the TV and all the way to the mini bar.
The other people in the room looked at each other.
"I wonder why in the world we were all called here for a race?" Eddy wondered.
"That I will explain," the middle aged man said.
Everyone's attention was at the man, even Freakazoid.
"Who are you?" Edd asked.
"My name is Josh Bilbo, and I invited all of you here to compete in Deathrace," the man named Josh Bilbo said.
"Right. That race with death in it," Freakazoid said.
"Whoa! There's a walking dog here!" Ed said as he looked at Courage.
"Who is this guy. Well from the looks of it, he doesn't look very bright," the dog thought.
"What an intresting setting," Dexter said.
"Yeah. Looks like a good place to get babes," Johnny Bravo said.
"Wow. This place rocks! It even has a mini bar!" Numbah 2 said.
"I could get used to a place like this," Numbah 5 said.
"Yes it's pretty...Oh my goodness! Mandy?" Numbah 1 said, looking at the girl.
"Well well well, we meet again," Mandy said.
"Oh great. An evil with the Devil's soul is here," Numbah 1 said.
A person with a white robe looked at the middle aged man in the middle of the room.
"This could be my only chance," Jack said.
"Whoa! This place is ultra cool!" Bloo commented.
"Yeah. I could get used to a place like this," Wilt said.
"Can I have evryone's attention please?" Josh said.
Everyone's attention was on Josh.
"As you all know, I invited you here to compete in a racing competion, that could, very well take your lives away," Josh said with sadness.
Everyone in the room was silent for what he said, except Grim.
"Meh. I'm already dead," Grim said.
Edd also spoke.
"Excuse me, Mr. Bilbo, if this race is so dangerous, then why do you want us to compete?" Edd asked.
"Yeah. There's no way you just called us here to compete in a race for money an emerald and a trophy," Numbah 1 said.
"I could care less for those things. The reason why I all want you to race, is because the whole planet might be at stake," Josh said.
The room was again silent.
"How?" Jack said.
"Well, I'm sure one of you know what the Paramount Emerald, right?" Josh asked.
"What is that?" Blossom said.
"I know what it is, although it is said that the emerald was a myth," Samurai Jack said.
"Yeah well, it's real. Would you care to explain what it is, Jack?" Josh said.
"Well, legends said that the emerald was created by the Maya civilization. The emreald holds extraodinary power, and can grant the user to control the world. Unfortunately, people from around the world heard about this emerald, and began to fight over it. Battles were so bloody that the emerald had to be buried, so no one can fight over it again," the samuari explained.
"Yes. Every word he said was true. I dont' know how in the world the Deathrace staff got a hold of it, but they did, and now it's a prize for winning the competition," Josh said.
"So what does this have to do with us?" Mandy asked.
"Yeah, what she said," Billy said dumbly.
"Well, it looks like a certain racing team wants to get hold of the emerald. The leader of this racing team is bad news. He's a criminal, whose name is unknown to me, but I've been spying on him for a week. He wants the emerald to power a laser machine, in order to rule the world," Josh explained.
Everyone in the room was silent again. They could not believe in what they were hearing.
"Just wait a minute, how do you know all this?" Dexter asked.
"Because I'm part of the CIA," Josh said as he flashed his CIA badge to all the people in the room.
The room was again silent. Now everyone knew he was telling the truth.
"This is crazy," Numbah 4 said.
"I know this will take some time to get it in your head, but this is happening for real," Josh said.
"So what do you want us to do?" Mac asked.
"I want you to race and win the competition," Josh said.
"But your the CIA. Shouldn't you just ask the staff of Deathrace to get the emerald?" Dexter said.
"There is another thing. You see, there's this secret crime organization that are working as a spy pretending to be staff of the Deathrace. And there using some great copyright stuff that not even the CIA can crack," Josh said.
"Well why do you want us to race?" Edd said.
"Because the leader of the racing team has hired people you know to race. Like the Kanker sisters, someone named Father, and robot droines," Josh explained.
The Eds, KND, and Jack had suprised looks on their faces.
"The Kanker sisters are invlove with this?" Eddy said.
"And so is Father?" Numbah 1 said.
"And Aku's robot droins?" Jack said.
"Yes, along with other people you might know," Josh said.
"So since you know them, it might be better for you to race against them,"
The room was silent again.
"This is insane. More insane then me!" Freakazoid said.
"And that's really insane," Cosgrove said.
"So what do you guys say? Want to save the world?" Josh said.
The room was chattering with friends by them. Edd was thinking hard about this.
"Sure everyone in this room's life is at stake, but if we don't agree to this, then the whole world could be at stake," Edd thought as he began to look around the room.
"And it looks like people are disagreeing. But...I must convince them to do this! Otherwise, the whole world could be in jeopardy!"
Edd got in the center of the room.
"Everyone, may I have yor attention?" Edd said.
Everyone's attention was on Edd.
"Listen, I know our whole lives could be at stake because of this, but the whole world could be at stake to! I say we give it a shot! We can't let the whole world fall just because we want to protect ourselves!" Edd said.
"That boy with a sock on his head is right," Cosgrove said.
"Yeah! Me and Cosgrove are in!" Freakazoid said.
"Well gentleman, I believe that if Father is involved, then it can't be anything good. As the KND, it is our duty to protect evryone from adult hood, am I right?" Numbah 1 said.
"Yeah!" the other KND members said.
"I'm in to," Jack simply stated.
"Well what do you say guys? Want to save the world again?" Mandy said.
"Eh, we've got nothing better else to do," Grim stated.
"Yeah! Let's do it!" Billy said.
Courage looked at Muriel.
"Well Courage, it's for a good cause," Muriel said.
"Yeah sure," Eustace said.
Courage sighed, thinking to have to save the world again.
"The things I do for love," Courage said.
"If I save the world, then that means I could get a lot of babes," Johnny said to himself.
"And I'll help," Suzi said, who decided to come with Johnny.
"Oh joy," Johnny said with no energy.
"Saving the world again? I wouldn't mine," Dexter said.
"And I love to race," Dee Dee said, who decided to come with Dexter.
"We always save the world, might as well do it now," the PowerPuff Girls leader, Blossom, said.
"Yeah," the other two girls said.
"Saving the world would be to cool!" Bloo exclaimed.
"Yeah, sounds fun," Mac said.
"Alright then, it's agreed," Bloo said.
"Well, it looks like everyone in this room agree. Good. Your bravery will be remembered," Josh said.
"We'll we get a reward for helping save the world?" Mandy asked.
"Well the prize for winning Deathrace is one million dollars. I'm sure that'll be enough," Josh said.
"Works for me," Mandy said.
"Although you'll have to confiscate the emerald, to make sure it doesn't fall in the wrong hands," Josh said.
Everyone in the room agreed.
"Then it's settled. In this building their are rooms for each of you. Tomorrow we'll start preparing for the race," Josh said.
Everyone in the room agreed.
"Then it looks like we have a racing team..."
