Author notes:Well, here we are! This is going to be an exciting race! I had already planned out how it was going to be done. It should be pretty good, and I hope everyone will enjoy it.
The only thing I wish for this story is, like I said, to use my original ideas in the beginning. That way, I could be done with this and work on the next story I have in mind. If everything goes according to plan, they maybe I can move on with this story more easier. Also, I decided to go on ahead and split this race into parts. I don't see anything wrong with it anyway. This race might take at least three or four parts.(I can already hear the agitated sighs). But I just don't like to see a this big of a race into one chapter.
And to the guest appearances...I think your gonna be very pleased with the results I have in this chapter, so give me some props on this one. As for the story, the way I see it, sure there can be good action content in it, but I think I should move on with the plot more, about this Paramount Emerald and the identity with the cloak figure, as well as what is his relationship with Ms. Gale. I hope I can move on faster. Now, to respond to recent reviews...
The Ghost Reviewer:Hey, I like how your making assumptions. Anyone could make those guesses. Also, if you know who the cloak figure is, then your on the mark.
Paoace12:Yeah, I should get a medal for making that many challenges huh?
theinsanitymaster:Of course, everyone will make more then one guess appearance.
PRIVATE Corp:Yep, you'll find out soon enough.
godofmadness43:Yeah, I always saw Ed and Dee Dee as a couple, they match perfectly.
Well, now that I've got that out of the way...
I do not own Ed, Edd, n Eddy, Johnny Bravo, PowerPuff Girls, Code Name Kids Next Door, Billy and Mandy, Freakazoid, Samurai Jack, Fosters Home For Imaginary Friends, Courage The Cowardly Dog, and Dexter's Laboratory, they belong to their respected owners.
Chapter 27:Grand Prix Race, Part I
Last Time:
The light turned red, and when it did the drivers started to rev their engines. When it turned yellow, the drivers revved their engines once more. And when it turned green, the racers were off, leaving a cloud of smoke covering the starting line. The fans were cheering with excitement.
"And their off ladies and gentleman, the beginning of an exciting race!" Blitz announced.
The cloak figure, out of all the excited fans, had something in his hand that represented a switch. He was smiling at a "certain driver"...
Now:
The drivers immediately started using machine guns and other weapons alike to get rid of the person in front of them. Leonard Silva started shooting at Randy Corp, using the rail gun torrent in the back of his car. Randy immediately started out-maneuvering the bullets with ease, thanks to his motorcycle.
"Come on man! Your to slow!" Randy said, taunting him.
Silva didn't reply, just let his guns do the talking as they say. When the rail gun wasn't working, he switched to his blue energy laser weapon, shooting blue pulses of energy at again Randy started out maneuvering with ease. Randy then started to use his machine gun on the lower portion of the motorcycle, using a button on the handle to shoot bullets at Silva. Silva immediately popped up a shield, in order to not get hit.
"Wow! Those two rookies are going all out, dashing weapons after weapons!" Blitz said.
"I tell you Blitz it is pretty exciting! And it looks like some of the drivers are now entering the tunnel!" Sheila announced.
It was true;the Eds, Freakazoid, Cosgrove, Courage, and Dee as well as The Lobe and Mandark entered the tunnel that would lead into the city.
Whoa, this tunnel has a lot of lights! Courage thought.
It was indeed true. The tunnel that they entered was dark, with only big purple and red lights illuminating from the top and bottom. By ones eyes it looked very beautiful, though the drivers of this race wouldn't have time to enjoy the scenery, especially the Eds and the other heroes, as they were getting attacked by The Lobe and Mandark.
"All right Mandark, let's get rid of these pests!" The Lobe said to Mandark. (Side note:Mandark and Lobe has the same cars as they had in previous chapters.)
"I would be happy to oblige Lobe. But first, I have to get rid of the person who is separating and my beloved Dee Dee!" Mandark exclaimed.
"Who, Bill Clinton?" Ed asked confusedly.
"No! You, you fool!" Mandark said as he began shooting at the dumb Ed.
Bullets started firing out of his machine gun, which Ed successfully dodges.
"I wonder how long you'll be able to dodge my-hey!" Mandark was paying so much attention to Ed that he didn't notice Dee Dee shooting her machine gun at Mandark. Mandark quickly got out of the way of the bullets. "Dee Dee, why in the world are you protecting this dummy?" he said childishly.
"Because that 'dummy' is my boyfriend!" Dee Dee exclaimed.
"You'd rather him over me?" Mandark asked confusedly.
"I'd go out with anyone over you Susan!" Dee Dee exclaimed.
The heroes and even The Lobe started to bust out laughing.
"That's his real name, Susan? Oh, now that's hilarious!" Eddy exclaimed.
Mandark's face started to turn red. "Because of that dumb boy, you've turned against me Dee Dee! Well no more, I'm going to get rid of him personally!" Mandark exclaimed. He then started to accelerate his speed, eventually passing up the heroes as well as Ed. "Lobe, you deal with Freakazoid and those two Eds, while I deal with this idiot!"
"Have it your way then," The Lobe said.
"Come on Ed, I'll help you beat Mandark!" Dee Dee said.
"Don't you mean Susan?" Ed said.
The couple went ahead of the other drivers to deal with Mandark.
"Wait, we're better off sticking tog-ahh!" Edd's sentence was cut short due to The Lobe firing bullets at him.
"Hah, you losers are dealing with me now!" The Lobe exclaimed.
Meanwhile up ahead, Ed and Dee Dee managed to catch up with Mandark. The said boy was looking at his rear view mirror to see the couple catching up to him, weapons at the ready.
"Dee Dee my love, I have no intentions to hurt you, but I can't say that much for your dummy boyfriend!" Mandark said as he pressed a button in his car.
When he did, a compartment in the back of his car opened up, revealing a bunch of black bombs that are now heading into the dumb Ed. Ed successfully starts dodging the bombs, though the same can't be said about other drivers in the back of him. The bombs impacted on them, causing some explosions, as well as debris flying around.
"Gun please!" Ed exclaimed, pushing a button inside his car.
A compartment on top of Ed's car opened, revealing a really big machine gun. Ed started shooting at the bombs that Mandark was unleashing, causing them to explode before they could impact on their targets. Once all the bombs were out of the way, Ed started aiming at Mandark himself. But before the bullets could impact, Mandark pressed a button in his car, revealing a red shield that aroused him, causing the bullets to bounce off of him.
"Nice try monkey brain! Let's see how you like this!" Mandark exclaimed.
When Ed stopped shooting, Mandark deactivated his shield and opened another compartment in the back of his car. And in this compartment was slippery oil, which started pouring out onto the road. Ed was to late to avoid the oil slick, as he soon started slipping and sliding on it.
"No control!" Ed exclaimed.
Ed started swerving around crazily, until his car started spinning in circles. What was more worse was that he was headed straight for a collision course into the wall of the tunnel.
"Yes, so long-huh?"
Luckily Dee Dee manage to save the Ed boys life by getting close to him and unleashing a shield around both of them before he could crash. After Ed started to gain control of his car, Dee Dee deactivated the shield and the two started to chase after Mandark again.
"Thanks Dee Dee!" Ed said.
Dee Dee gave Ed a thumbs up and a wink. Mandark's face turned red as Dee Dee protected Ed with such passion.
Okay then you dim wit, I have a surprise for you...Mandark thought in his own little evil mind.
Meanwhile, a few yards back of Ed and Dee were the other two Eds, including Freakaziod, Cosgrove, and Courage were all trying desperately to avoid getting hit by one of The Lobe's backward machine guns he's firing. This machine gun that The Lobe was firing was really accurate, as it nearly misses it's target by two inches.
"Shoot, we've got to find some way to get around that gun! Double D, why won't you do something useful and think of a way out of his range!" Eddy exclaimed.
"Well excuse me Eddy! I'm a little busy trying to find The Lobe's weak points, but my computer can't because I keep moving, and it can't coordinate with The Lobe's vehicle!" the smart Ed explained.
Eddy was awe struck by what Edd said, racking his brain in order to understand. "What?" the greedy Ed finally says.
"I'm trying to look for weak points, but I can't because The Lobe keeps shooting at us!" Edd exclaimed.
"Oh, then why didn't you say something earlier?" Eddy said. "Freakaziod, let's try and distract The Lobe so Sockhead can find his weak points!"
"Okay!" the blue superhero replied.
Eddy and Freakazoid started driving a little more further to The Lobe, despite finding it difficult due to the many bullets that The Lobe was firing. The Lobe was now firing at the two, trying to avoid them from getting any closer to him.
"Fools, can't you see that no matter what you do, you'll never win?" The Lobe said. "I have upgraded my car to the max! No one can stop me, not even you Freakazoid!"
"If we can't stop you, then how come we're already in front of you?" Freakazoid asked.
The Lobe looked in front in shock to find that Eddy and Freakazoid were already in front of him.
"But how-!"
"While you were talking about all that stuff about 'you can't win' and all that, we just got ahead of you!" Freakazoid explained.
"I really should know when to keep my big mouth close..." The Lobe said in his own monotone.
"All right, the computer says that the car is immune to fire!" the smart Ed said.
"Good, then all we need to do is to fire a missile at him!" Eddy said.
"I don't think so! As long as I have my indestructible shield, nothing won't hit me!" The Lobe pointed out.
He's right, his shield really is immune to all attacks. I'm going to have to come up with a plan... the smart Ed thought.
It's a shame that Edd wouldn't have a chance to formulate that plan. The screams of Eddy and Freakazoid aroused him away from any thinking.
"Why you little...who do you think you are?" Eddy said.
A random driver came out of nowhere and started shooting at both Eddy and Freakazoid, leaving some bullet holes in their cars.
"Eddy, Freakazoid, are you all right!" Edd asked from the front.
"Yeah, but this guy won't, because I'm about to give it right back at him!" Eddy exclaimed.
Eddy started shooting off rounds at this driver, all of the bullets impacting him with each bullet that spurs out of Eddy's gun. In fact, Eddy shot so many bullets, that smoke started to arouse around the driver.
"Heh, that oughta take care of him!" Eddy said.
Unfortunately for Eddy, the random driver had a shield around him that he didn't notice. He didn't notice this fact until the smoke cleared, and the driver was about to ram into his car with his shield! The driver did so, causing Eddy to swerve into a circle. The driver used this chance to start shooting at Eddy, causing more damage to his vehicle, also causing him to crash.
The smart Ed notice this from the back of The Lobe. "Eddy!" he exclaimed.
"Look, I don't know who you think you are, but you're about to go down for that!" Freakazoid said as he started shooting at the random driver.
Freakazoid failed to notice that the shield was still around him, making the bullets bounce off of it. The driver then rammed right into Freakazoid, causing him to swerve in a circle just like Eddy. The driver used this to his advantage by shooting round at him, leaving some bullet holes around his vehicle. As if that wasn't bad enough, he also crashed right into the tunnel wall, causing more damage to his car.
"Eddy, Freakazoid!" Edd exclaimed.
"Heh, it's a wonder how you guys got this far," the driver said as he took off, leaving The Lobe and the heroes behind.
The Lobe started laughing. "Hah, how the mighty have fallen!" he said, referring to Freakazoid. "Now is my chance to get rid of you!"
"I don't think so!" Cosgrove exclaimed.
Cosgrove shot out a missile at The Lobe, hoping that would give them enough time to save Freakazoid and Eddy. If only Cosgrove knew that the shield around The Lobe was on him, then the missile wouldn't bounce back at the heroes. Luckily the heroes dodged it in time, unlike the other drivers in the back of them, who's vehicle exploded on impact.
Edd managed to reach Freakazoid and Eddy before The Lobe could get his hands on him. "Eddy, Freakazoid, are you all right?" he asked.
Freakazoid was in a daze, with stars circling around his head.
"Did anyone get the license plate of that truck?" Freakazoid said in a daze.
"Oww..." Eddy groaned, as he slowly rubbed the back of his head. "Man, know I know what getting in a car wreck is like."
"Come on, The Lobe and the other guys have been passed us up!" Edd exclaimed.
Eddy and Freakazoid started driving their vehicles again, despite the damage from their cars, and started full throttle, striving to catch up with the others again...
Meanwhile, Ed, Dee Dee, and the evil Mandark just exited the tunnel, and are now in a scenery that represented something like a lake side, so much so that anyone wouldn't think that this is a racing track. Where the drivers were racing on was a road, and next to this road was a metal type bridge to separate the drivers from falling into the lake side. The scenery was over all beautiful, with the sun reflecting the waters with a magnificent glow. The scenery would be more beautiful if Mandark wasn't trying to kill Ed with a backwards machine gun, which he was avoiding.
Mandark let out an agitated sigh. "Why won't you just hold still?" Mandark said agitatedly.
Ed started shooting his own machine gun at Mandark. Unlike Mandark, who kept on missing his target, Ed managed to get some bullet holes into Mandark's car, which Mandark more antoginzed.
"Tag, your it!" Ed exclaimed.
Darn that sleezeball, I swear I'll...wait a minute...this place...
Mandark began developing a scheme in his evil mind. Once the scheme was planned, he switched from the machine gun to the laser gun. He then started to take aim at the ground, rather then the dumb Ed.
"What is that nerd up to now?" Dee Dee said.
Mandark then shot out his laser at the ground with a slice motion. After the ground was completely sliced, Mandark then worked on another half of the ground. It took a moment for Dee Dee to realize what he was doing. When she was about to warn Ed, it was already to late. The two slices of earth that Mandark made started to fall off, leaving nothing else but a big hole that if anyone falls in it, they will fall into the lake.
"Haha! Let's see how you'll get through that one Ed!" Mandark exclaimed.
"Big hole!" Ed said.
Mandark started laughing, knowing that it would stop the other drivers in their tracks, making him the automatic winner.
"Looks like Mandark has a trick up his sleeve? Can Ed get through it?" Blitz announced.
"What are we going to do Dee Dee?" Ed asked his girlfriend.
"Don't worry Ed," she replied, "Dexter made me the upper wheels upgrade for all of our cars."
"Really?" the confused Ed said.
"Yeah, just look for a button in your car, you should see it," Dee Dee said.
Dee Dee already knew where the button for the upper wheels were. She pressed it, and when she did, her wheels started to spring up, just like the Mach 5 in Speed Racer. Using this, Dee Dee managed to drive over the hole with ease. That just leaves Ed, who is still driving to the hole, desperately looking for the button.
"Er, is this it?" Ed said, pressing a random button on the bottom left corner.
Unfortunately for Ed, this button was the parachute button, which made matters for him. The parachute opened inside his car, making a big white blur, causing for the confused Ed to not see a thing. He then started to swerve around like crazy, trying to find another button that would help him.
"It's look like Ed is in a jiffy now," Blitz announced.
"Ed, your about to fall!" Dee Dee exclaimed.
Ed then took a chance of luck and pressed any button in his car, hoping that it would be the upper wheels. Fortunately, it was, and when his wheels went up, Ed crossed the big hole with ease. Dee Dee gave a sigh in relief, glad that Ed didn't fall. Ed then caught up to Dee Dee. The parachute inside Ed's car flattened down and went back into the compartment as well.
"Good job Ed!" Dee Dee said, giving Ed's a thumbs up.
Ed gave her one back, but doing so made him not pay attention to the road, barely missing an impact from falling into the riverside. Ed then laughed nervously at his embarrassed mistake.
"Looks like we caught up with Susan!" Dee Dee exclaimed, seeing the said villain in front of her.
Ed started laughing. "Susan, that is a good one!" he said.
Well, now that nothing can stop me now, I guess it's just smooth sailing-WHAT?
Mandark was surprised to see that Dee Dee, and especially Ed, were now following him, preparing to pass him up.
"Hey Susan!" Ed said to him.
Mandark's face started to turn red, as the laughter of Ed and Dee Dee filled through his mind.
"You won't be laughing when I do THIS!" Mandark exclaimed.
Mandark then switched from the laser to the missile. Once he did, he shot one at Ed, hoping that it would finally get rid of him. But before the missile could get even near him, Dee Dee drove in front of Ed and used a shield, making the missile bounce ricochet off of it to Mandark again. Luckily for Mandark that his shield was still around him, causing the missile to explode in front of the shield, but causing no damage to Mandark's car what so ever. Even though Mandark should be glad avoiding collision with his own missile, he was instead mad that Dee Dee would protect a bozo like him...
"Looks like things are heating up down there with Mandark! Let's switch our cameras over to see what the other drivers are doing a few meters back," Blitz said.
A few meters back, the two Eds, Freakazoid, Cosgrove, and Courage just exited the cave, with The Lobe still in front of them. The heroes were surprisingly having a hard time with The Lobe, as he was still shooting at the heroes with his backward machine gun, which was spurring bullets out fast. It would seem to anyone eyes that the heroes weren't going to make it in this race.
"Looks like the two Eds, Freakazoid, Cosgrove, and Courage are having a tough time down there!" Blitz announced.
The cloak figure was at the stands, watching the whole thing like it was some sort of sitcom, seeing that "certain driver" getting tortured very easily.
If he keeps getting beat up like this, then I won't have to use my weapon... he thought.
Back at the track, the Lobe was having a good laugh out of torturing the heroes, especially at Freakazoid. "Oh this is to good! This is every super villain's dream to torture the heroes!" The Lobe said.
"I'm getting sick of this!" Eddy exclaimed. "I'm about to go head fist into that fat head!"
Eddy then started to accelerate his speed, heading straight fist into The Lobe.
"Eddy, no! According to my computer, the bullets in The Lobe's car will quickly pierce right through metal with ease!" the smart Ed exclaimed.
Before Eddy could hit the brakes, The Lobe decided to use this opportunity to aim at the greedy Ed, expecting for his bullets to pierce right through him. But before The Lobe could take a shot, a driver, who came at a very fast acceleration from behind, bumped right into The Lobe out of nowhere. The Lobe started to swerve in a circle, quickly hitting the brakes before he would fall into a watery doom into the lake beside him. This also caused the heroes to immediately pass him up, including the driver that just bumped into him.
"Well, good thing that event happened, otherwise you would several bullet holes into your vehicle Eddy," Edd pointed out.
"I could have taken him by myself!" Eddy said, though Edd knew that Eddy would have been a dead duck if it wasn't for that driver.
Speaking of the driver, it turned out to be Randy Corp, who was now in front of the heroes. Randy looked in his rear view mirror to see that he accidentally crashed into The Lobe. For a while he looked at his mirror, looking out where The Lobe was.
"Why in the world does that guy have a brain on his head?" he wondered.
"Beats me," Eddy said, who took notice of Randy.
"Hey, you guys look like you were in a TV show once," Randy pointed out.
"What are you talking about?" Eddy asked.
"Oh, never mind, I guess I was mistaken. Anyway," Randy pointed his missile, which was in the back of the motorcycle, to Eddy, "good bye."
He shot a missile at the greedy Ed, who dodged it with ease. The missile flew past him, going out to the lake and eventually hitting the water. Randy himself fled away, without looking back to see if the missile impacted on Eddy or not.
"What was with that guy?" Eddy wondered.
"I haven't the slightest clue Eddy," Edd said. "But it looks like we've lost sight of Cosgrove, Freakazoid, and Courage!"
Eddy looked at his rear view mirror to see that the smart Ed was right. "They must have stayed back with The Lobe!"
"Maybe we should go back for them," Edd said.
Before Eddy could respond, an impact from behind caused him to lost his train of thought. The impact behind him was an explosion from a missile, which came from behind.
"No time to think about the others now Double D!" Eddy said.
The driver that shot at Eddy drove up in between the two Eds. Eddy used this opportunity to shoot at him with his machine gun. The bullets were useless though, due to a shield around the driver's car. The bullets immediately bounced off the shield like it was nothing. Eddy stopped shooting, realizing this.
"My turn," the driver said.
The driver switched from missile to a laser type weapon. He then aimed it at the greedy Ed.
"Hah, I can dodge that with my eyes close!" Eddy said.
Eddy then started to slow down, in order for the laser to not him.
"That would work, if this was a laser," the driver said.
Before Eddy could question him, the driver shot out a sleet of ice onto the ground, where Eddy was about to drive to. The greedy Ed tried to avoid it, but it was to late as he crossed the ice, making his car swerve uncontrollably.
"Hang on Eddy!" Edd said.
The smart Ed was about to go save Eddy, but the driver got in his way by using his shield to impact on Edd before he could reach him, causing him to swerve and forcing him to hit the brakes before he could fall into the lake. As for Eddy, the poor Ed crashed into the cliff wall, although not causing too much damage, thanks to him hitting the brakes. The unknown driver that attacked the two Eds passed them up.
"Well, it looks like the rookie Eddward is losing his game in this race," Blitz said.
"I agree Blitz, this doesn't look good for Eddward," Sheila commented.
Back in the stands, the cloak figure was watching it all with a smile on his face.
Well, it looks like he's having a tough time as it is... he thought. So I'll wait for the opportune moment to use it...
Author notes:Well, that's the first part. I now see that I have to work on the dialogue and humor more if I'm going to become a writer someday. I'm not on that level yet, but I'm getting there.
I also hoped the guest appearances enjoyed their cameos. They will appear again in the next part, for sure. And all the guest appearances will appear in the ending, like I said earlier, since I'm so nice.
And just who is the cloaked figure targeting exactly? I hope nobody figured it out yet, for it was supposed to be a surprise on who it is. I hope I'm not making it too obvious. And what was the deal with the librarian, Ms. Gale? Why is she helping the cloak figure? All this will be answered later on.
Well, I've got nothing else to say but R&R!
