Ed, Edd, Eed, n Eddy's Halloween Special Part 3:
Hey everyone! Yup, I've decided to keep the series going. Reading my previous work, I think it's an improvement from the last few chapters, but I noticed that in some parts it's significantly slower pasted the others. Even so, I noticed that when I actually write it, I have the same amount of joy I felt when I start. Any, let's get back to the story!
"So what's the plan Double D?" Tyrone asked sitting down on a log. Yoko sat down next to him and waited for him to speak like a student waiting for the teacher.
"Well, I'm glad you asked, Tyrone" He said pulling a calculator-like device from out of his hat. "As you know, Eed has two personalities. Eed and Dee" He began.
"Ok" Tyrone said following completely.
"Every time he is exposed to potatoes it triggers the change. But it seems as though sweets also trigger a reaction, meaning that Eed may have multiple personalities"
"I see" He said losing interest.
"When he changes, now here's the fascinating part, not only does a change happen mentally, his DNA is seems to change as well. It's as if he really BECOMES a different person!"
"Mm-hm" He said getting sleepy.
"In the event of a sudden outburst like this, I've planted a device to be able to track him down as long as he's not himself! Quite genius, if I do say so myself. Any questions?" Double D turned to see that Tyrone had fallen asleep, but Yoko had been writing notes.
"Um…" She said raising her hand.
"Yes Yoko?"
"If you had a tracking device, why didn't you use it earlier?"
Double D scratched the back of his head in embarrassment. "I…forgot I had it"
"Group dynamics my foot…" Tyrone grumbled in his sleep.
Eed licked the inside of the candy bowl savagely and held it out to Victoria.
"More" He ordered licking his fingers. Victoria folded her arms and looked away. There was only so much she could take.
"Forget it! All you've done since you came here was sit on your butt all day and stuff your face! Until you shape up, no more candy for you!" At first there was a long and powerful silence and then Eed roared so loud the trailer shook.
"NO CANDY?!!" He yelled grabbing the television by its wire and swinging it wildly. Victoria gasped as he swung at her and miss her by an inch destroying the book case behind her. It didn't take much for her to realize that she was in danger.
He didn't seem to be targeting her as he swung being that he was swinging in any random direction. When he crushed the fringe, Victoria ran upstairs into her cousins' room and blocked the door. She sighed as she let her back slide against the door. This was part of her plan though. All that energy he's using and no sugar to keep it in check, a sugar withdraw was imminent. Even so, she hadn't expect him to flip out like THIS.
It was ten minutes when the noise finally stopped and five minutes before she had the courage to check on him. She poked her head out to find her their home in ruin. She definitely would get an earful from Lee, but maybe when they caught the others, she'd cut her some slack. She walked into the kitchen to find Eed sprawled on the floor breathing heavily.
"N-need…sugar…" he said weakly.
Victoria approached him cautiously and looked down at him.
"P-please…sugar…" He plead looking up at her
Victoria smiled as she saw the weakness in his eyes. She had him now.
"You want some candy?" She asked pulling a chocolate bar from her back. Eed instantly perked up. Normally he would he snatched it before she could even blink, but now that option had been taken from him.
"Please…"
"Tell you what handsome…" She said pulling him to his feet. She pulled out a lipstick dispenser with her name labeled in script (it's a Kanker thing) and smirked as she spread the blood red lipstick on her lips.
"Give me a smooch, and you can have it"
Eed grinned and nodded. "O-ok!" As I said before, Victoria is very attractive. Had Eed been his normal self he would have known about her natural evil and would have refused but he wasn't his normal self. He leaned forward and looked her in the eye as he prepared to do it. Victoria would have bragging rights if she got him to willingly kiss her. As they came close he noticed the glint in her eye. That glint that her cousins have. She was a Kanker and she was no better just because she was pretty. He backed away quickly and shook his head. He coughed and shook as he slowly turned back into his normal self.
"Argh…my head…" He said looking up. "Where am I?" All he remembered was trick or treating and the rest was a blur.
Victoria blinked in confusion. She didn't know anything about Eed or his multiple personalities but she saw that the crazed look in his eyes disappeared. He was vulnerable. She smiled widely at that thought. She had no idea what happened but all she knew was it was much easier to force him now. With that, she grabbed him by the collar and licked her lips.
"Pucker up, lover!"
Eed had no idea were he was but the sight of Victoria was more then enough to tell him he was in the wrong place.
"W-wait…No…Please… anything but that!!"
Double D gasped as the blip on his device suddenly stopped.
"Something's wrong, the signal's gone!"
"What does that mean for Eed?" Tyrone asked looking down at the device.
"It either means that he's back to normal, or…" his voice trailed of at the thought of the other possibility.
"We have to find him!" Yoko cried processing the thought in her head.
"What're we suppose to do? We don't have anyway to track him now" Tyrone said with his hand on his chin.
Double D smiled as he pressed a few buttons on the device. The next thing you knew, a small piece of paper slowly came out. "Not to worry! I've thought of the possibility of this happening" He pulled the paper out revealing a map of the trailer park. "According to the map, the signal came from…" Double D trembled as the paper fell out of his hands.
"What's wrong, Double D?" Yoko asked shaking his shoulder.
"He's…inside the Kankers trailer"
Ed, Eed, and Eddy were in a dark room hung upside-down with lipstick and love drawings all over them. Even with the Kankers gone, they were still terrified. Especially Eddy. If you read Eddy's report card, it says "Eddy has great potential, but he's just lazy". Eddy knew very well, that if the Kankers were able to come up with a plan THIS advance, they were more dangerous then ever.
"Uh guys...? Sorry I got you into this…" Eed said swinging so he faced them a bit. He was mostly Ed he was talking to. He knew Ed would forgive him no matter what he did. But Eddy…
"It's Ok, Eed" Ed said with a reassuring smile.
"Sorry?! You're GONNA be sorry when I get loose!!!" Eddy yelled struggling to break free from the ropes to throttle Eed.
"Double D will come get us guys!" Ed said trying to be optimistic.
"Shut up! We wouldn't be HERE with HIM, if it weren't for you!!"
Flashback…
Ed rushed through the trailer park running at high speed with Eddy clinging to his jacket.
"Kate! Don't worry! Everything's gonna be ok!!"
"Ed! Stop! The Kankers might hear us!" Eddy cried as his feet dragged along the gravel.
Ed stopped so suddenly, Eddy smacked right into him (which we all know is like slamming into a brick wall). Kate was in the middle of a clearing tied to a sign's pole. Her face seemed to be hidden by the darkness.
"Help! Ed! Eddy!" She cried. For some reason her voice sounded more artificial.
Ed quickly sprang into action and ran into the obvious trap leaving Eddy no choice but to follow (Ok, maybe he's a LITTLE dumb). Ed ran up to Kate and ripped the ropes to give her a bone crushing hug.
"Big brother is here now Kate!"
"Well? Aren't you even gonna say thank you? You owe us!" Eddy growled when Kate didn't respond. Ed looked down at her in confusion. Kate never stayed silent for more then a minute. "Kate?"
"Help me please!" She said again. Her voice sounded completely artificial now. Like a bad recording.
"Kate, we're here now!" He said shaking her. At that moment, her head fell off and rolled to his feet.
"…I think Kate's sick Eddy"
"Ed, you idiot!" He said through gritted teeth.
Ed looked at Kate and saw why Eddy was angry. It was a poorly made dummy with a tape recorder on the back.
"Help me! Ed! Eddy! Help m…" the voice trailed off as the battery died.
They didn't even have a moment to react when they were lifted off the ground by a net.
"Got em!" A horrifyingly familiar voice rang from a corner of a double wide trailer. From the darkness, Marie Kanker emerged. She walked back and forward, examining the terrified prisoners.
"Where's my man?" She growled folding her arms.
"W-we don't know" Eddy said nervously.
"I'm not gonna asked again. WHERE…IS…DOUBLE…D?!" She asked shaking the ropes violently.
"We don't know! I swear! Let us go!" Eddy cried.
"Sorry cutie, no can do. You boy's haven't been around lately and you're gonna make up for it today!" She said spinning the net at high speed.
"Have mercy, venomous vixen!" Ed cried fearfully.
"Ma-rie! Leave my man alone!" May called as she approached from behind a purple trailer. In her arms she held Kate, bound and tied. As she got closer Marie saw that May had a black eye.
"What happened to you?"
"The brat kicked me in the eye!" She growled holding the terrified Kate up.
"Well, maybe we should return the favor…" Marie said cracking her knuckles.
"WAIT!" Ed yelled so loud his voice echoed throughout the trailer park. "I'll tell you where Double D's at if you let her go" Eddy couldn't help but be impressed. It wasn't that Ed helped her. He knew that Ed would have done that for anyone. But he actually said something that sounded like a good idea. SOUNDED. Kate looked at Ed with tears in her eyes. Ed…
"Sorry Pooky-bear! The brat's gonna pay!" May said winding her arm to punch her only to have Marie snatch her away. May, not being the brightest bulb in the bunch, didn't stop her punch and her fist wound back and punched herself in the other eye.
"No fair! Why should you get your boyfriend and I don't have MINE?" She growled tossing Kate down. May folded her arms as she pulled the net to her so Ed was close to her.
"So what? Ed's cuter anyway!" She said scratching under his non-existent chin. Marie grabbed her by the throat, turning her face a bright shade of blue.
"What did you say...!?" She said through gritted teeth. May bit hard into her arm, forcing her to let her go. Kate looked up at them and began crawling away like a worm. She didn't want to be the middle of this.
As May and Marie disappeared into an old fashioned fight cloud, they didn't see their older sister making a B-line to them. She growled as she grabbed both her sisters by the back of their shirts and pulling them apart.
"What's goin' on ere?" She asked angrily.
"May won't let me get my Double D!"
"Some brat kicked me in the eye!"
"What brat?!" Lee asked throwing them both to the ground. May and Marie turned around to see Kate was gone.
"But…she was…"
"Forget it! We got what we wanted anyway" She said smiling at Eddy, sending chills down his spine.
"What about MY boyfriend!?"
Lee grabbed the net slinging it over her shoulder, letting their heads slam to the floor.
"Your gonna share with Vicky till we find him" Lee said walking along, dragging their heads on the hard pavement. Eddy looked down at Ed in confusion. "Who's Vicky?"
Flashback over.
Eed smiled as he got through listening to the story. "Thanks Ed. I owe you big time" The fact that his sister was safe was more then enough to make him happy.
"Ed is good big brother!" Ed said happily.
"Hey Ed. What did you mean by that anyway?" Eddy said referring to 'Big Brother'.
"If anything happens to me, Ed's my sisters Godbrother" Eed explained with a smile.
"Why Ed?"
"He's already an older brother and from what I've seen, he and Kate seem to be very close"
"Pick my belly button, win a prize!" Ed said making the touching moment deflate like a punctured balloon.
"Ed, remind me to give you a brain cell for Christmas, to keep the one in you got in your head company!" Eddy yelled directly into Ed's ear.
They instantly silenced themselves as Lee, May and Victoria (or Vicky for short) entered the room.
"So, ready to talk?" Lee asked folding her arms.
"Uh, I'm in the shower right now, call back later!" Ed said nervously. Truth be told, he had no idea where Double D was. He only said that to protect Kate, as he would do for his own sister.
"I don't think he's gonna talk Lee!" May said with a smile. She had no problem 'interrogating' him again. Vicky however, was limited on patience. She hated having to share HER boyfriend, just because Marie couldn't catch hers.
"Well, we have these three. We could use them to bring the others to us"
Lee looked (when you think about it, you really couldn't tell) at Vicky and then back at the Eds. "You heard the lady. You're gonna bring your Double D to us!" She said with a wicked grin. Vicky sighed and rolled her eyes. It's so hard to be the smart one…
"I didn't mean it like that. We can make some sort of ransom"
"I don't need any money! I GOT a man!" May protested.
"MORON. I mean a FAKE ransom. When Double D comes to pay us, we just let take him instead" She paused for a moment to think. "And maybe we'll keep the money while we're at it"
Lee thought about this. It was a good plan. They got to spend the Halloween with their boyfriends, AND they got paid to do it. Vicky grinned as she saw the smile on her face. All she ever needed to do was convince Lee, and surprisingly, it wasn't that hard.
"Alright" She then walked over to Eddy and tugged him hard by the collar. "How many of you came here?" She ordered flashing her fist to help refresh his memory.
"S-seven! Me, Ed, Eed, Double D, Kate, Tyrone, and Yoko"
"Hmm… fifty cents each… uh…carry the one…"
"Three dollars and fifty cents" Vicky answered.
"Right! May, go write the ransom!" Lee ordered. Vicky may have had brains but out of all of them, May oddly enough had the best penmanship.
"Why do I have to?"
"Because she said so!" Vicky said grabbing her by the throat and kicking her out of the room. Lee smiled and nodded, feeling a strong sense of pride towards her cousin.
"Good answer" She said petting her on the head. "We'd better get these boys ready!"
"R-ready for what?" Eddy asked nervously.
"For our dates of course! A nice, Halloween dance with just us… all alone… where nobody can hear you scream…" Vicky said in a love induced daze.
"Do you ever shut up?" Eed asked irritably. Maybe it was the fact that she almost got him to KISS her, but he hated Vicky with a passion. But, as we know, that seemed to only fuel her lust.
"Ooh… I love a nice strong man" She said stroking his cheek and quickly snatching her hand back before he bit it.
Lee smirked as she untied the rope which supported them, letting them land on their heads. "Well! Let's get started!" She said digging through her hair and pulling a small case out. It was labeled in her horrid handwriting, "Propurtee of Lee Kanker" She opened it up to reveal a case of make-up of all kinds.
"We're gonna make you shine!" Lee said taking some eye liner out. Needless to say, NOW, they were terrified. Even Eed, who had the nerve to speak out, had lost his bravado.
"N-no! Anything but make-up!"
"I don't want to look pretty, Eddy!!"
"Have mercy!!"
Kate growled at the sight of them. She was still tied up, but she could still move about. She stood at the side of the Kanker's trailer, watching them torture her friends AND her brother. And Lee… putting her hands… on HER man… Oh… she's gonna regret this… Kate would make sure of it. As she hopped away to go look for the others, a plan of revenge was already formulated in her head.
What is Kate's plan? Will she get revenge on the Kankers? And what does any of this have to do with Halloween at all?! Might as well be another normal episode at this point! Tune in next time on Edball ZZZZZZ!!
