Chapter 16:Act 1:Third Race:Part One
2100 Haven City Building...
May was watching Terrance compete in a DEATHMATCH challenge on TV. His man(what May likes to call him) just destroyed a car with his missiles with ease. May could see Terrance smiling at his kill. She smiled.
"A great kill from Terrance!" the announcer said. The stadium was the dirt stadium. May smiled as she saw her boyfriend with a succesful kill. Behind her, her two sisters, Lee and Marie, were watching her.
"I can't believe that May fell for another man," Lee said to her sister.
Marie looked at her. "Well, it was going to happen eventually, Ed is not so bright." Marie said.
"Yeah, I guess your right."
"Speaking of boyfriends, it seems yours is doing just fine."
"Of course! My little Eddy is ready for anything!" Lee said dreamily. Marie acted like she ignored this statement, and looked at the TV at Terrance, as he pulls of another kill. Lee noticed this. "What is it Marie?"
"It's Terrance," Marie replied.
"What about him?" Lee asked.
"Yesterday while I was walking around, looking at the shops, I saw him flirting with another girl."
Lee stood in silent for a few seconds, trying to get the information in her head. "So, May's little boyfriend is a cheater eh?" Lee asked.
"By the way he was flirting with that girl, I'd say yeah," Marie replied.
"Well, that's a shame."
"How are we going to tell her?" Marie asked.
"We're not gonna tell her, she's gonna figure it out on her own," Lee replied.
"You sure you wanna do that?" Marie asked.
"Yeah, it's time May learns from life, and I think that this is the time she learns it."
Marie looked at her sister like she was crazy. "Really? Some guy is a cheater and your gonna let him get away with it?" Lee thought about this for a minute. "I mean, what if she never finds out?"
"Well then that's when were gonna jump in. In the meantime, let's just keep winning challenges," Lee informed her sister.
Marie rolled her eyes. "Okay if you say so."
"Speaking of our next challenge, I think the guy with the cloak said it's a race in the sewers."
Marie looked disgusted. "A race in the sewers? How disgusting!" Marie said.
"Yeah, but you gotta do what you gotta do."
Just then the challenge that Terrance was own came to a close. "And the winner is, TERRANCE, with not even a scratch on his car!" the announcer said.
The crowd started to cheer for Terrance name. "Isn't he incredible guys?" May asked her two sisters.
"Yeah, he's something all right," Lee said with no energy.
"Well, I'm gonna go get my car!" May said with a smile while humming a tune and heading towards the garage.
"You know, friendship should not be treated like that. It's sick what this guy is doing behind May's back!" Lee said angrily.
"Well then, let's tell her! You know how May is, it'll probably take a long time until she figures it out!" Marie implied to her sister.
"True, your right. Fine! We'll tell her and teach that bonehead a lesson!" Lee said with her fist moving left and right. Marie then started for the garage. "Hold on Marie!" Lee said.
"What now? Do you want to tell her or not?" Marie asked. "I mean, we HAVE to tell her what this guy is doing behind her back!"
"I know, I know, but, as you said, you know how May is. She'll probably ask for proof, which we don't have," Lee implied to her sister.
Marie thought about this for a second. "Shoot, your right!" Marie said. "So what do we do?"
"Isn't it obvious? We get proof! We'll go buy a camera off the winnings we had in the challenge, and take photos of Terrance with other girls," Lee said.
"That's a brilliant idea Lee!" Marie said.
"Yeah, let's just win our challenge and get on with it!" Lee said. Marie nodded as they walked to the garage. "You know something, true love should not be treated that way Marie."
"Yeah, your right..." Marie said thoughtfully. Marie then stared thoughtfully up the ceiling.
"Yo Marie, you still with me?" Lee asked.
Marie snapped out of her trance. "Oh yeah, I'm fine."
"Then let's go," Lee said as they started walking again.
Marie was still in thought. True love...Double D...
1901 Haven City Building...
Ed, Edd, and Eddy were talking about their previous challenges. Dee Dee was among them as well.
"It's been an exciting season. I've heard that the ratings this season are twice as great from last season," Edd implied to them.
"Where did you hear that Double D?" Eddy asked.
"I've been doing my research."
"Well, did you find out anything new on the Paramount Emerald?" Eddy asked.
"No Eddy, I'm afraid I haven't," Edd replied.
"I've got an idea guys!" Ed exclaimed. The two other Eds and Dee Dee were waiting for Ed's response. "Go on a roller coaster?"
Dee Dee planted a smile on her face. "Oh Ed, your so smart!" she said dreamily.
"Yep, that's me all right," Ed replied.
"I think those two were made for each other," Edd stated.
"I couldn't agree more," Eddy replied.
Just then Josh came in the room, greeting the other heroes on the race. He then came up to the Eds and Dee Dee. "Hey guys," he said casually.
"Hey Josh, what's the deal, we got a new challenge or something?" Eddy asked.
"As a matter of fact, you do. It's a race, and all three of you are competiting together," Josh explained.
"All right!" Eddy said, jumping out of the couch.
"The race takes place in the sewer."
Edd then looked disgusted. "The sewer?" he exclaimed.
"Yeah," Josh replied.
"I refuse to compete in such a race. No way!"
"Come on Double D, don't you remember that the whole world is at stake here?" Eddy asked.
"Yes, but-" Edd began.
"You've got to make sacrifices Double D," Josh explained. Edd thought about this for a moment. "Don't worry, the sewer is clean, there are no rats or droppings."
"Oh, well in that case, I'm in," Edd said.
"It's gate number three by the way," Josh said.
"All right! Let's go guys!" Eddy said as the three Eds went to the garage...
Haven City Sewers, Gate Number Three...
"And here is one of the top rookies of the season, Double D!" the announcer said with excitement.
As Double D drove out of his gate, the fans started to cheer his name and started showing big pictures of his head above their heads. After all, he was one of the top rookies of DEATHMATCH, so why not?
"Wow Double D, your pretty popular this season!" Eddy said. (See Chapter 13 for Eddy's car description.)
"Well, I even surprised myself when I saved the stadium from mad robot droids as well," Edd said. (See Chapter 3 for Edd's car description.)
"I love vrooms vrooms guys!" Ed exclaimed happily. (See chapter 4 for Ed's car.)
"Vrooms vrooms?" Edd asked.
"He means cars Double D," Eddy said.
The sewer was really like a racing track. Their was water everywhere, coming from pipes. Their were actually stands where people can watch the racers as well. The stands had a lot of people today. In front of the starting line, their were really big pipes that seperated many paths.
"It looks like we got some serious competition today boys!" Eddy said.
Eddy was right. Their were 15 drivers in the starting line, not the usual count from the other challenges, and this time the cars looked more tougher then anything the Eds ever faced so far. Their was one car with a crimson color, flamethrower, and matches on the side. The driver inside it has a leather jacket, Chinese mafia tatoo on his forehead, orange mohawk, and white skin.
Ed started to shiver. "These guys look scary guys," Ed said scarily.
"Don't worry Ed, with the three of us, we'll beat this race!" Eddy said.
"You sure about that love muffin?" a familiar voice said.
"Kankers!" Eddy exclaimed.
"That's right, did you miss us?" Marie asked.
The Kankers were right beside the Eds.
"Why don't you guys just leave us alone and let us win!" Eddy said with a smile.
"Eddy, don't encourage them now..." Edd said worryingly.
"To late! But if we win, we get to kiss you all day!" Marie said with a smile.
"Good one Marie!" Lee said.
"All right racers, start your engines!" the announcer said.
The cheery and commotion of the crowds started to die down, waiting anxiously for the start of the race.
"Let's do this!" Eddy said as he and the other two Eds started to rev their engines.
The other drivers did the same. "It looks like their ready!" the announcer said.
Just then a red light shinned on top of the starting line...
It then turned yellow, and the drivers started to rev their engines more...
And when it turned green, the racers were off. The fans roared with excitement, as all the drivers passed the finish line and driving at full speed.
"See you at the finish line love muffin!" Lee shouted at Eddy, who was in front of him.
The sewer was big, and had a lot of space where the drivers can use their weapons more easily due to the space. Their were also cages where water went out of them. The Eds and the Kankers, who were in front of the Eds, were heading for a big pipe that separated two paths.
"All right girls, split up!" Lee said as her and May drove to the left path, while Marie went to the right. Other drivers went on their own paths as well.
"Double D, me and Ed will go after May and Lee, while you go after Marie!" Eddy said to Edd.
"What good will that do?" Edd asked.
"If we get rid of the Kankers, then the rest of the race will probably be a piece of cake!" Eddy explained.
Edd thought about this for a moment. "All right!" Edd said as he took the right path.
Eddy and Ed took the left. Eddy and Ed were driving behind May and Lee, which Lee's car was red over white, was long, and with no roof. The weapons go out in the front of where the engine is. (For May's car go to chapter 3)
"This is for you love muffin!" Lee said as oil started to plow out of her car.
Eddy slipped right on it and started swerving into the pipe wall.
"Oops, I didn't want him to crash!" Lee said.
"Hang on Eddy!" shouted Ed.
Before Ed could reach him, Eddy hit the brakes and came to a halt. "Don't worry about me Ed, just get to that finish line!" Eddy said.
Ed nodded and continued to drive to the Kankers. Meanwhile the crimson car passed Eddy up, and was chasing after Ed and the two Kankers as well.
Meanwhile on the other side of the pipe, Marie was in front of Edd, which didn't grant him to pass her up.
"See you at the finish line Double D!" Marie said.
Edd then managed to find an opening on the path, and drove a few meters to the side of Marie. "Sorry Marie, but it looks like I'm going to pass you up!" Edd implied.
Marie smiled as she bumped into the side of Edd, causing him to swerve a little. Edd quickly gained his balance and was now still at the side of Marie.
"I expected more from you Marie," Edd said.
"I'm just going easy on you!" Marie said.
"You know, the prize for this race is much to dangerous!"
"What are you talking about?" Marie asked.
"The Paramount Emerald."
Marie thought about what Edd said and smiled. "I don't think so, it'll just give me the desire to become queen of the world, and you Double D, will be my king!" Marie said.
"Yes, but it is more dangerous then that!" Edd implied her. "It's just...using something to fulfill your desires is not right. You should do it yourself."
Marie thought about this. She had an eerie feeling that Edd is right somehow, that using something, or creating a shortcut, to get what you want is wrong.
"I think your right Double D," Marie said.
"You should not...I am?" Edd said questioningly.
"Yes, it's just...I've always had a crush on you, and I always wanted you...the feelings I have..." Marie stopped here, looking at the path that she was driving.
Edd looked at her. Edd thought that Marie was getting sentimental, but why. "What feelings?" Edd asked.
Marie didn't look at him. "Double D..." Marie started. She then let out a sigh. "I...I think-"
Just before Marie could answer, someone in the back of her bumped into her, hard, causing her blue and medium looking car with no roof to swerve. She then hit the brakes, and the car sped off, the driver laughing.
"Who would have the nerve!" Marie said.
Just then Edd past her up. When this happened Marie started up her car again and went after them.
Meanwhile Eddy, Ed, Lee, and May drove out of the path with the pipe, as well as the other drivers. The crimson car driver was tailing right behind Eddy and Ed, as they head for another giant pipe that only brings one path.
"All right Kankers, take this!" Eddy said as a machine appeared on top of his car. Bullets then started to fly out of it.
"You'll have to do better then that love muffin!" Lee said as a shield popped up around her car. The bullets then bounced off the shield.
"Ed, your shield can destroy Lee's shield. Do it!" Eddy told Ed.
"Aye aye!" Ed said as a shield popped up around him. He then drove faster until he was only a few meters behind Lee, until the two shields collide. Just as Eddy predicted, Ed's shield blew up Lee's shield, due to Ed's shield being more powerful.
"That a boy Ed!" Eddy said.
"May, I need some help!" Lee shouted.
"I'm coming!" May said as she drove in front of Ed.
All the while other drivers were shooting at each other with machine guns and missiles, and other weapons alike. Then the one path that the pipe lead into two other pipes.
"It's getting rough out there ladies and gentleman, but just one tip for the drivers, those big pipe that separates two paths, only one path will lead into the next part of the course, while the other path will meet to certain doom!" the announcer said.
"What?" Eddy exclaimed. "So we've got to guess a path?"
"Right you are!" the announcer said with energy.
Sure enough, there were two paths that was separated by a big pipe in the middle.
"Which one should we take Eddy?" Ed asked.
Before Eddy could answer, the crimson car driver past them up with ease. "I don't know about you losers, but I'm takin right!" the driver said as he sped off.
"Let's take right Ed!" Eddy said.
"Okey dokey smokey!" Ed said as the two Eds took the right path.
"What do we do Lee?" May asked.
"What do ya think? We follow our boyfriends!" Lee said.
The two Kankers then took the right path as well as some other drivers, although some drivers also took left. Edd and Marie were chasing the driver that bumped into Marie. The car was big, pink, and had a club with spikes on the top of it. The driver in it was an overweight woman with a big pink shirt on.
"How dare you bump into me like that, who do you think you are?" Marie said.
"Who I am?" the woman said. "I am Glorious, the most prettiest and sexist woman see!"
"I don't know about pretty or sexy," Marie commented.
"I agree," Edd said.
Edd and Marie snickered and Glorious face turned red. "You'll eat those words, I'll kill you both with my iron club!" she said as the iron club on the top of her began to move.
The club then started crashing down on Edd and Marie, which they had troubled dodging.
"Let's see how you like this you fatso!" Marie said as a machine gun popped up from her front hood. She then started firing at the woman, which the bullets penetrated easily. "Yeah, how you like...huh?" Marie said.
The bullets had no effect on Glorious car whatsoever. Glorious then started to laugh. "Your little toy can't hurt me, I'm to pretty to get hit!"
"Oh please, when was the last time you looked at a mirror!" Marie said.
"Marie, i don't think you should be intimidating her like-"
Before Edd could finish his sentence, the club came down on Marie and knocked her sideways, hard. Her car took damage to the side and started swerving to the left. This was bad, because the pipe leading into two paths, one path that led to the rest of the race course, and one path that led to the drivers doom. It wasn't long before she was on the left side of the pipe. Glorious went into the right path, laughing. Edd hit the brakes.
"I heard the announcer mentioning that one path leads into the rest of the course. Luckily my computer that can scan weak points can also plan routes for me now, thanks to Dexter." Edd then pressed a button, and a computer voice said, What is your command Eddward?
"Computer, which path I should take?" Edd asked.
"Scanning..." the computer said. after a few seconds, the computer said, "the right path is the path you should take, while the left path leads into a pit, that if anyone falls in, they will meet their doom," the computer explained.
Oh no, Marie took that path! Edd thought. But then again, maybe she can take care of herself. Edd thought to himself. He then began to take the right path, and then stopped...
Meanwhile the two Eds, the two Kankers, and some of the other drivers were in a part of the sewers where there were orange lights on the ceiling, and what looks like green seaweed hanging on the walls. Eddy looked at his rear view mirror, but could not see Edd behind him, nor Marie.
"Where the heck is Double D; he should be here by now!" Eddy exclaimed.
"Maybe the sewer monsters have got to him Eddy!" Ed said.
"If I were, I would pay more attention to the road!" the crimson driver said as he past both of the Eds up. The cave then started zigzagging left to right, right to left, with the crimson driver still in front of the two Eds, while the Kankers were in front as well. The crimson driver and the two Eds started passing cars up, with the crimson driver still in front of the two Eds.
Eddy gave out an annoyed sighed. "Get out of the way already!" Eddy said.
"Sorry, no can do. That one million dollars is calling for me!" the driver said.
"Well then eat this!" Eddy said as he started firing bullets from his car at the crimson driver. While doing this, the orange lighted cave started zigzagging again, which gave the crimson driver advantage of dodging Eddy's bullets. Eddy gave another annoyed sigh.
"Now it's my turn shorty!" the crimson driver said as he released oil slick from the back of his car. Due to the zigzagging, Eddy couldn't dodge it, which caused him to slip and swerve on the oil. Eddy then hit the brakes, which caused him to stop, which also caused other drivers to pass him up. Eddy gritted his teeth and started driving again. It wasn't long before he was back behind the crimson driver. The crimson driver saw this, and started releasing oil again.
"I'll save you Eddy!" Ed said as he started to accelerate his speed. When Ed was at on the side of the crimson driver, he bumped into him, causing him to swerve a little and the oil to stop releasing.
"That a boy Ed!" Eddy said as he passed the crimson driver. The crimson driver then immediately accelerated his speed to catch up to the two Eds...
Meanwhile Edd and Marie were way behind, trying to catch up with the other drivers in the orange lighted hall. All the while, Marie looked at Edd with confusion on her face. Edd noticed this in his rear view mirror.
"What is it Marie?" Edd asked.
"Why did you save me?" Marie asked in a little voice.
Edd looked at her through his rear view mirror and sighed. "I don't know, I just...my body just moved."
Marie then looked at the road ahead of her, as if Edd's answer was enough. They were silent the whole drive to catch up to the other drivers, and it made Edd a little uncomfortable. He decided to speak. "We better catch up to the other drivers Marie, or we'll be dead last."
"Yeah, you could have went on without me," Marie implied to him.
Edd looked at her from his rear view mirror again. He didn't know why...but Marie looked different somehow, as if she changed from the always messing with Edd type, to a nice girl type. "I...didn't wanted you to die." Edd didn't know why he said that.
Marie was silent again for a few minutes. "Well, thanks anyway." Marie said with a warm, reassuring smile.
That smile...she looks...different, Edd thought. Edd couldn't help but smile back...
Back with Eddy and Ed, the two were catching up to the Kanker Sisters. They were only a few distance between them. Just then a voice behind them said, "Make way for the prettiest girl on earth!" Glorious said.
She then sped up and past Eddy and Ed, which caused a little vibration between the two. Eddy looked confusedly up ahead. "Who the heck was that?" Eddy asked Ed.
"Maybe the warlord from the seven seas!" Ed exclaimed.
"Well whoever that was, she's-"
"Eddy, look out!"
Eddy looked at his rear view mirror and saw a missile coming straight at him. Eddy quickly turned to the right which caused the missile to pass him up and cause some explosion up ahead. "Who in the world-"
Before Eddy could finish his sentence, another car zipped past him with ease, a black car with a black mask on, the same kind of driver that competed in a an artifact race and one on a normal race. "Wait a minute, I recognize that car, and that mask!" Eddy exclaimed.
"Is it Racer X?" Ed asked.
"No Ed, that's a manga character. Let's hurry up and catch up!" Eddy said as they both accelerated their speed.
Meanwhile the two Kankers were out of the orange lighted hall path with green seaweed on the walls. This path was more darker, with water coming from the walls like a regular sewer. The two Kankers, Lee and May, were looking at their rear view mirrors for a sign of Marie.
"Where in the world is she?" May said.
"I don't know, but I've got a feeling that something bad happened to her," Lee said.
Before May could say anything else, a missile from behind them zoomed past then, and exploded on a wall, which caused the wall to explode and water coming out of it.
"Looks like the water is going to flood the entire part of the area!" the announcer said.
Just then another driver behind the Kankers was catching up to them. It was Glorious. Lee looked at her rear view mirror and saw the overweight women.
"Who is that?" Lee said.
Just then Glorious came on the side of the two. "Who am I? Well, I'm the most prettiest girl you will ever see, Glorious! Also, the most strongest girl you will ever see. Now get out of my way!" Glorious explained.
The two sisters were silent for some time. Then they suddenly burst out laughing.
"Most prettiest? More like most ugly and fat to me!" Lee said, laughing.
Glorious face then started to grow red, not from embarrassment, but from anger. "You'll know your place!" the woman said as she bumped right into May, causing May to hit Lee, which caused them to crash into a wall with some damage to their cars. "See you losers at the finish line!" Glorious said as she zoomed off.
Now it was the two Kankers turn for their face to get red from anger. "That fat lady is going to pay for that!" Lee said. "Let's go May!"
The two then started to drive again. They were not that far from Glorious, who was just a few meters ahead. Beyond the dark place, a ramp was ahead, which Glorious jumped. The two Kankers did the same thing. The Kankers then started to speed up. Glorious saw this when she looked at her rear view mirror.
"Heh, you two kids don't know when to give up huh?" Glorious said as she pressed a button.
Out of the back of Glorious car, a compartment opened and bombs started to fly out of it. They were scattered on the path that the two Kankers took, and had spikes on them. The two Kankers dodged them with trouble, due to there being so many. Because of this, the two Kankers started to slow down, dodging the bombs while doing so. Glorious then started to laugh at the two.
"Is that all you kids got?" Glorious said as she jumped another ramp. When she did, the bombs stopped flowing out of the compartment.
The two Kankers then jumped the ramp as well. They started to increase their speed. "All right Glorious, let's see how you like this!" Lee said as she started shooting bullets from the machine gun on her front bumper. The bullets just bounced off her car, with no damage at all. "What the?"
Glorious just laughed. "I told you that I'm strong!" she exclaimed.
"Oh yeah, well let's see how you like this!" May said as she fired a missile from the top of her car. The missile hit Glorious head on. "She wasn't so...what!" May exclaimed.
Surprisingly enough, her car took no damage what so ever. Glorious started laughing again. "Now it's my turn!" Glorious said as she pressed a button on her car. When she did, the giant club with spikes appeared on top of her car. The club then started to smash down on the two girls, which the girls had trouble dodging.
"How do we beat this ugly tan of tar?" Lee said.
Glorious then started to laugh again, despite Lee's comment. "You can't, I'm the most prettiest girl in the world as well as the strongest, and today, once I kill you two, EVERYONE will know this!" Glorious said as she continued laughing and bashing down her club on the defenseless sisters...
