Chapter 18:Act 1:Fourth Race:Part Three
Last Time:
Meanwhile Lee and May were still having a lot of trouble dodging the iron club that Glorious was crashing on them.
"WHERE THE HECK IS MARIE?" Lee screamed...
Now:
The Eds and the Kanker sister, Marie, were having a rough time dodging the bullets from the black masked driver's heavy machine gun, and they were also having a rough time dodging the pipes as well, due to them dodging the bullets from the black masked driver. All the time Edd's computer was trying to scan for weak points on the car, but the computerized voice would always say, Can not compute. The vehicle is going to fast to compute.
If only I could dodge the bullets more easily, then maybe the computer can scan the car. But how? Edd thought.
Marie then looked over at where Edd was. It looked like Marie completely understood what Edd thought. Marie then drove over to Edd, which was difficult because the black masked driver was still shooting at her and the three Eds, but Marie somehow managed.
"Hey Double D, you need to scan the car with your computer thingy?" Marie asked as she just barely dodged a flying bullet.
"Yes, although it is difficult!" Edd exclaimed.
Before Marie could say anything else, some of the bullets actually impacted on Edd's car, causing a whole lot of dents in his front bumper, and started to swerve like crazy.
"Double D!" Marie exclaimed.
Edd wasn't able to hit the brakes on time, as he impacted on one of the big pipes and crashed hard into it. His car didn't explode, but it did cause a lot of damage to his car. Edd's car front engine was smoking black from the crash. Marie looked inside the car in horror, as Edd had a lot of scars on his arm, and a lot of bruises on his face. Marie then gripped the wheel hard, like trying to pop it like a balloon. She then started to drive again. When she did, Edd woke up, hand on his head.
"Man, that was rough. Can this car still drive?" Edd said.
Edd stepped on the gas pedal, and surprisingly, the car's engine was still working. Edd then started to drive back to his friends.
Marie was built with anger. How could someone be so cold blooded, to do something like that? Marie didn't understand, and she didn't want to. She just continued to drive with range in her mind, to get back at the black masked driver. Eddy and Ed were still having trouble dodging the bullets that the black masked driver was shooting.
"Does this guy ever runs out of bullets?" Eddy said, agitated.
Just then a blue bur past them up. It was Marie, driving straight to the black masked driver, despite the bullets penetrating her car. She just kept driving, while the bullets kept piercing through her car.
"What in the world is she doing?" Eddy said.
"Going to Hades?" Ed said.
Suddenly Marie got close to the black masked drivers car, despite her car smoking with flames. Suddenly, Marie's car front bumper bumped into the back of the black masked car's back bumper. Marie's car was now in flames, and was on the verge to explode.
"Oh hell no!" the black masked driver said. Suddenly Marie's car exploded. Eddy and Ed's jaw dropped.
"I can not believe what I am seeing ladies and gentleman, Marie just impacted on one of the black masked drivers!" the announcer said.
Eddy and Edd couldn't believe it either. The cul-de-sac children and Dee Dee were staring in shock.
"Why in the world would she do something like that Plank?" Johnny asked his wooden friend.
"Man, that was so hard," Kevin said.
"I totally did not see that coming," Nazz said.
Dee Dee had her hands clapped to her mouth. "Why...why would she do something like that?"
"It to get revenge on the person who killed her love, Rolf would say," the foreigner said.
Everyone stared at Rolf.
"What in the world do you mean by that Rolf?" Sarah asked.
"Sock head Ed boy crashed hard into that pipe, and Kanker girl probably thought that the Ed boy was dead. That is why Kanker girl did it, because she was blinded by rage over her lost love," Rolf explained.
"If that's the reason, then that...that takes courage," Nazz said.
"Yeah, it was like the same thing that Chelsie Manuel did for Double D," Kevin said. (See story "Your Past Can Hurt You.")
Meanwhile Lee and May were still dodging the giant club, when they heard about what happened to their sister. They were shocked.
"No...it can't be, not Marie!" Lee said.
May was on the verge of tears. "It can't be true..."
Glorious then started to laugh. Lee then started to get angry.
"What the heck is so funny?" Lee shouted at her.
"This is the kind of thing I'm talking about. If your not strong in this world, then this is the exact thing that will happen to you. Especially dying for someone you love? That just proves how weak you are!" Glorious said as she started laughing again. "Your sister was weak!"
"YOU TAKE THAT BACK!" Lee exclaimed as she started shooting at Glorious car again, only with no damage. Glorious then whacked the club down at Lee, hard, which caused her to swerve and hit a wall.
"Lee!" May said as she was hit the giant club and crashed to the wall.
Their car was totaled now, so much to the point that it was a surprise that their car was still rolling. But May and Lee started driving again.
"Your...wrong! Marie...is not...DEAD!" Lee said as her and May started shooting at the car, even though they knew it was useless. Glorious just laughed. "And your wrong! Theirs nothing wrong with protecting the person you love the most!"
"Yeah, that's right!" May exclaimed.
Glorious then whacked down her club on the two and whacked them both into another wall. Even though the two sisters were now dreaded with scars and bruises, and their cars were almost completely totaled, they were still driving to Glorious, shooting bullets at her car. Glorious just laughed...
Meanwhile Ed and Eddy were dodging pipes, until something caught Ed's eye.
"Look Eddy, I found the Kanker!" Ed said.
Eddy hit the brakes and looked at where Ed was pointing, on the nearby ground. Marie was lying still, with part of her clothing ripped off from the explosion. She wasn't breathing either.
"Is she dead Ed?" Eddy asked.
"I can't tell Eddy," was Ed's respond.
Eddy then drove to Marie. He then bent down and picked her up and put him in his car.
"Geez she's heavy," Eddy said. "Come on Ed, let's hurry up and catch up. It should be easy now."
Ed nodded and the two drove off, with the unconscious Marie in Eddy's car. When they started to drive, Eddy could see in his rear view mirror that Edd was coming, and was now at the side of the two Eds.
"Where's Marie?" Edd asked.
"She's driving with me. I think she's unconscious," Eddy told Edd.
"We have to get her to the hospital fast!" Edd said.
"Well then let's hurry up and finish this race," Eddy said.
"No, she needs a hospital now!" Edd said.
"But Double D, if we quit now to get Marie to the hospital, we'll lose the race, and if we lose the race, the whole world might suffer!"
Edd thought about this for a moment. Eddy was right, the whole world was at stake, but...Marie.
"Then let's finish this race quick, Ed Edd n Eddy style!" Eddy said encouragingly.
"In style!" Ed said.
"Don't worry sock head, we won't let anything happen to Marie, we promise. We're your friends, and friends always stick together no matter what happens!"
"Like butter toast and sandwiches!" Ed said encouragingly.
Edd smiled at how reassuring his two best pals were. "Okay fellows, let's go!" Edd said as the three started to gain speed.
"Whoa, it looks like all of a sudden the three Eds are now pushing it full throttle!" the announcer said.
The three Eds then exited the maze of pipes and turned a right. The three Eds were now at another orange lighted cave with green seaweed on the walls. Just then, just when they entered the area, they could see two familiar drivers in front of them. The black masked driver and the crimson driver, with the crimson driver in the back of the black masked driver.
"Hold on, I thought that the black masked driver died in that explosion?" Eddy exclaimed.
When the Eds got a little closer to them, the black masked driver noticed in his rear view mirror.
"Hmph, luckily I popped up a shield right before the explosion. That girl was a fool. Killing herself just to get rid of me," the black masked driver said.
This made Edd angry. "How dare you say that! Marie did it because of me, because she was trying to protect me!" Edd stated.
"So that's why she did it? She was even more dumber then she looks." This statement mad Edd even more angrier. "Dying to protect someone just proves how weak you are."
This put Edd over the edge. How could someone talk about someone like that? Protecting someone you care for...that is exactly what Marie did, and that just proved how brave and courage's Marie was. Edd put the pedal to the medal and started to head for the black masked driver, ready to use his machine gun.
"Fool." was all the black masked driver said as he pressed a button in his car. The same heavy machine gun that the black masked driver was using was on the top of his car now, and he started shooting at Edd.
"Double D, look out!" Eddy shouted.
Edd barely managed to get out of the way of the bullets as he steered to the right. The crimson driver was also dodging bullets hard.
"Man, that's one crazy machine gun!" the crimson driver said. "Nothing my flamethrower can't get rid off!"
The crimson driver pressed a button in his car and bursts of flame started to come out of his front bumper. Unfortunately the flames couldn't reach for enough.
"Okay, let's see how you like this!" the crimson driver said.
The crimson driver then pressed another button and canceled his flamethrower, and started to use his machetes, all this while dodging the bullets, which was hard. And the machetes, like the flamethrower, wasn't able to reach the black masked driver, due to the crimson driver dodging the bullets from the black masked driver.
"Darn! If only I could get closer to him, but he keeps shooting that heavy machine gun!" the crimson driver said.
"Leave this to us!" Eddy said as he and the other two Eds got a little distance. "We've got a plan, and we're gonna need your help? Are you ready?"
"You want me to help?" the crimson driver said while dodging the flying bullets. "Okay, it looks like that's the only way to get through this guy. I'm in!"
"Okay! All we need you to do is to wait for the final attack, okay?"
"All right!" the crimson driver replied.
"All right! Double D, whenever your ready!"
Edd nodded and got close to his two friends. The black masked driver was still shooting his heavy machine gun at the three Eds, while the crimson driver was behind the three Eds, waiting for the final blow.
"Just what are the three Eds planning ladies and gentleman? Let's watch and find out!" the announcer said.
"Now Double D!" Eddy exclaimed.
Edd then pushed a button inside his car. When he did, holographic illusions of the three Eds spur out of them; now their were six Eds. The fans looked at the scene confused at the illusion. (Remember the holographic move that Edd used in his first race, and in the DEATHMATCH challenge?)
Little did the black masked driver knew, that the three holographic illusions were coming up to him in full speed. The black masked driver started shooting his heavy machine gun at them, only to find out that the bullets are going straight through them.
"What the-"
Before the black masked driver could say anything else, the real Eddy and Ed, where Eddy was on the right side of the black masked driver, and Ed on the left side, were now touching the sides of the black masked driver. Due to this, the black masked driver was stuck, and couldn't turn.
"Is this the best you got? I'll just shoot the both of you to hell!" the black masked driver said.
The black masked driver was getting ready to shoot at the two Eds, when he came to a shocking conclusion. He couldn't shoot at them, or else, if he did, he would risk himself getting killed because the two Eds were on the side of him. If the two Eds car would explode, then the black masked driver's car would explode as well. Edd was in the front of the black masked driver.
"That's right, you can't shoot at my friends, otherwise you'll risk killing yourself! Also, I managed to scan the computer and find your weak point. It's your back bumper!" Edd said.
The black masked driver was already irritated that he was fooled by three kids, and to for this kid to say that his weak point is his back bumper? "Theirs nothing wrong with my back bumper you fool!"
"Yes, their is. The explosion that was caused my Marie. She damaged your back bumper, even though you did used your shield."
The black masked driver looked in his rear view mirror at his back bumper. The kid was right! "No, it can't be!"
"Oh, yes it is. Now, crimson driver, attack the back bumper with your flamethrower!" Edd said.
"Okay!" the crimson driver said.
The crimson driver gained speed until he was up to the black masked driver's back bumper. The black masked driver was gritting his teeth hardly. The crimson driver then pressed a button in his car and flames started to come out of the front bumper, which affected the back bumper of the black masked driver. The flames spread quickly, until his whole car was on fire. The two Eds quickly drove out of the side of the black masked driver. Smoke and even more flames started to come out of the black masked drivers car.
"NO! THIS CAN'T BE! HOW CAN I LOSE TO A BUNCH OF KIDS?" the black masked driver screamed.
"Because we worked together and protected each other, that's why!" Edd said. "I guess dying to protect someone you care about doesn't make that person weak, does it?"
The three Eds and the crimson driver quickly got out of the way of the explosion of the black masked driver's car. The fans started to cheer for the three Eds.
"Amazing ladies and gentleman, the three Eds actually defeated one of the most top drivers!" the announcer said, stunned.
On the stands, the cul-de-sac children and Dee Dee watched as the three Eds were victorious against one of the best drivers in the competition.
"Wow, that was so cool!" Nazz stated.
"I gotta admit, the Eds actually make a great team," Kevin said.
"Rolf thinks that the Ed boys work better as a team then Rolf's animals!" Rolf committed proudly.
"Yeah, Ed is amazing!" Dee Dee said.
The fans in the stands started to cheer for the three Eds, while the cul-de-sac children and Dee Dee did the same.
Back on the track the three Eds and the crimson driver drove out of the orange lighted cave, and were now at a section with that had more seaweed and water, with water pouring out of tunnels in the ceiling. Eddy started to look around while he was driving.
"Where the heck is May and Lee?" Eddy said. "We shouldn't have gotten that far."
"Look!" Their they are!" Edd said.
The Eds and the crimson driver looked up, and in front of them, a few meters perhaps, were the two Kanker sisters, Lee and May. Their cars were completely totaled, damage to the point where they don't even look drivable anymore, but somehow their engines were still roaring. In front of them was a pink car with a giant club on top, who was trying to bat away at the two Kanker sisters.
"The finish line isn't that far now ladies and gentleman, who will win this exciting race?" the announcer said.
"We've got to hurry and treat to Marie's wounds!" Edd said. Eddy and Ed nodded, and they started to accelerate.
"When will you girls give up and just die like your sister?" Glorious said.
"Marie...IS NOT DEAD!" Lee screamed.
Glorious started to laugh. "Please, you heard the announcer, she died in an explosion trying to protect someone. She was weak, or most likely, weak in the head!"
"SHUT UP!" Lee hollered as she charged at Glorious.
"Lee, no!" May said.
Lee knew that their was no possible way to survive one more batting of that club. If she were to get hit one more time, that would be the end of her. But she didn't care. How could someone talk about another person like that, especially...if their dead. Lee continued charging at Glorious with full speed.
"LEE!" May shouted.
"It's over for you! Look just how weak you are, charging at me just because I talk about your dead sister. THAT JUST PROVES THAT I'M STRONGER THEN YOU!" Glorious shouted madly.
Glorious raised the club and was ready to smack Lee, finishing her once and for all. The club suddenly went down on Lee.
Is this the end, will I die here? Will...I meet Marie again...I hope so...and May to. Were Lee's thoughts as the club came down on her. She waited for the final blow to come, the final blow that will definitely finish her off. She closed her eyes as she charged at Glorious...
The final blow that Lee was waiting for never came. She opened her eyes, and in front of her, Ed's shield, which was recharged after it broke, was blocking the way of the club. Glorious looked in her rear view mirror, shocked. The other two Eds and the crimson driver was in the back of Glorious as well.
"What was that you were saying about you being stronger?" Eddy asked with a smirk on his face.
Glorious face grew red. "Who the hell are you?" Glorious asked angrily.
"We're the guys who gonna kick your butt, Ed, Edd, n Eddy style!" Eddy said.
The fans cheered Ed, Edd, and Eddy's name on the stands.
Ed got out of the club's way and depleted his shield. Lee and May were surprised.
"You guys came to save us?" Lee asked.
"Yeah, we might as well, your cars are totaled, and you seem to have a lot of wounds on you," Edd said.
Edd was right. Lee and May were covered with bruises all around from that bashing club.
"Just leave the rest to us!" Eddy said proudly.
Glorious started to laugh. "Here we go again, more people protecting each other! That is why you'll die, just like Marie did!"
Lee and May started to get mad, but the Eds just smirked. "Oh, Marie's dead? Then how do you explain her driving next to me?" Eddy asked.
Lee and May's jaw dropped, and so did Glorious. "Your bluffing!"
But Glorious looked in her rear view mirror, and Eddy was right, Marie was right next to him driving in the passenger seat.
"Marie...Marie is all right?" May asked happily.
"Yeah, she's just unconscious...whoa! Who the heck is this ugly tan of tar?" Eddy said, looking at Glorious.
Glorious face turned red. "That's the whole reason why we couldn't pass her up!" Lee said.
"Well don't worry no more, all three of us are here now!" Edd said.
"Yeah! All right boys!" Eddy said happily. "Let's get wild!"
The fans cheered for the three Eds. Glorious just laughed. The Eds and the crimson driver looked at her confusingly.
"Fools! Do you think you have a chance against me? I'm the prettiest, strongest woman you have ever seen!" Glorious said proudly.
"I don't know about strong, but pretty is definitely not in your category lady!" Eddy said.
"I agree, you look like the fat woman off of the manga One Piece," Ed said.
"You are overweight," Edd commented.
"I think that you-"
"ENOUGH! I'll prove it to you by bashing you to hell!" Glorious said as she began to bash down her giant club at the three Eds, as well as the crimson driver.
The Eds and the crimson driver began dodging the club with great difficulty. Glorious laughed at this.
"Lee, May, get behind us!" Edd said to the two sisters.
"No way, we've got to help protect our sister!" Lee said.
"Don't worry about Marie, I promise we'll get rid of this fat woman and finish this race. After that, we'll get Marie to a hospital ASAP!" Edd said.
Lee and May looked at each other. "Okay, we'll leave the rest to you." May said.
"Teach that fat woman a lesson!" Lee said.
Edd gave them thumbs up and went back into the battle. The Eds were having a rough time dodging the giant club.
"This looks bad for the Eds ladies and gentleman!" the announcer said.
The fans in the stands were silent, even the cul-de-sac children, and even Dee Dee. Glorious started to laugh.
"What happened to all that talk?" Glorious asked.
"Okay guys, let's fire!" Eddy said.
The three Eds and the crimson driver fired all their weapons at the woman, the Eds firing missiles, and the crimson driver used his flamethrower. One the Eds and the crimson driver done firing their weapons, smoke covered the entire aura of Glorious.
"Did we win?" Eddy said.
When the smoke cleared, Glorious car didn't even had a scratch on it. The Eds and the crimson driver's jaw dropped, and Glorious just laughed.
"Do you see now how strong I am fools?" Glorious said.
She then started bashing down her club at the four, which they had a hard time to dodge, while Glorious just laughed.
"I can't believe it, all those weapons and Glorious still isn't down!" the crimson driver said.
"There has to be a weak point somewhere! I'm going to look for it!" Edd said.
Edd pressed a button in his car, and a computerized voice said, What is your command Double D?
"I need you to scan for any weak points on Glorious!" Edd said.
Very well, scanning weak points...
Before the computer could start scanning, Glorious swung her club at Edd, which he barely dodged. I cannot scan the driver if you keep moving. The computerized voice said.
"Shoot, we'll have to stop her from swinging that club!" Edd said to his friends.
"Got it!" Eddy said. "Ed, Double D, crimson driver, let's all attack at the same time again!"
The four unleashed missiles and bullets at the woman's car again, which caused smoke to arouse around her again. When the smoke cleared, like last time, Glorious car didn't even had a scratch. Glorious laughed again.
"Now it's my turn!" Glorious said.
Glorious swung her giant club at the four again, which they all barely dodged.
"Darn it, why in the world is her car not taking any damage?" Eddy said.
"Wait, I got an idea. Eddy, Ed, and me will unleash missiles in front of Glorious, which will cause smoke to be in front of her!" the crimson driver said.
"What good will that do?" Eddy asked.
"With the smoke around her, Glorious won't see anything. Double D, you can use this time to scan her car for weak points!" the crimson driver said.
"Okay, we'll give it a shot!" Edd said.
"Fools! Can't you see that it is hopeless?" Glorious said as she swung her club again, which the four nearly dodged.
"Okay, now!" Eddy said.
Eddy, Ed, and the crimson driver unleashed missiles from their cars. But this time, instead of aiming at Glorious, the aimed in front of her. The missiles exploded in front of Glorious, which caused smoke to arouse her.
"What, i can't see anything!" Glorious said.
"Good, now's my chance!" Edd said. "Computer, scan the car now!"
Scanning...Scanning...
After a few moments, the smoke cleared. "Oh no!" Eddy said.
"Computer, did you find the weak points?" Edd asked.
Yes, the weak point is her club.
The three Eds, crimson driver, and the two Kanker sisters took a little moment to get this into their heads.
The club is the source of Glorious car power, and the reason why the weapons don't work. But if the club were to be destroyed, then her whole car would be destroyed.
"What? You mean to tell me we could have gotten rid of this ugly lady from the beginning?" Lee said.
"Yes, it's an embarrassment that I didn't figure it out earlier..." Edd said.
"Man, that was pretty stup-"
"ENOUGH! You've found the source of my car's power, so what, I'LL STILL KILL ALL OF YOU!" Glorious roared as she slammed down her club again.
This time the club impacted on all of the four boys, swiping them into a wall, and causing damage to their cars. The crowd gasped at this.
"Well, it looks like the Eds were all talk after all," one of the people in the crowds said.
"No, your wrong!" Dee Dee said. "Their not gonna give up easily, I know it!"
"I sure hope so," Nazz said hopefully.
Back at the track, the three Eds and the crimson driver was following Glorious, despite their damaged cars. Glorious was swinging her club like crazy, and the four are barely dodging the swings.
"Is this the end for the Eds ladies and gentleman?" the announcer said...
Author notes:IS this the end for the three Eds? Find out in the conclusion of the race, in the next chapter! By the way, Glorious really is based off a character in One Piece. It should be pretty obvious for those of you who read or watch the series. Anyway, R&R!
