Ed Edd Eed n Eddy's Halloween Special Part 4

Kate gasped and grunted as she struggled to hop along. What else could she do? She was still bound and gagged, and she had left her brother and friends behind in the lions den. She had to find Double D and the others. Not only that, but she had to get to them before May delivered the ransom note. Double D's concern would have led him right into a trap. As she was processing this in her head she then realized something important: She had no idea where they were. As soon as they split up, the only thoughts going through her head were, I have to find Eed. I MUST find Eed. I… Ooh…Eddy looks so good in his costume… I wonder if his brother is as good looking… Nah. I can't think of anyone cuter. Well…maybe puppies. Or kittens. Or me! How could I forget? I'm as cute as a button factory! Thinking back on it now, she wanted to kick herself. She hadn't been taking this seriously (although she never takes anything seriously). This was the first actual time that she suffered for it.

She cried out as she tripped over a rock and fell over flat on her face. For a minute she felt tears forcing their way out of her eyes. She felt so helpless. What could she do? After a long silence she had an idea. A risky one, but she would enjoy doing it. She remembered when she first met the Eds. She remembered the tribal call that she would yell every time she ran into them. She thought about this for a second. If she did this one of two things would happen. One: Double D and the others would recognize her call right away would come looking for her. Two: The Kankers would hear her and come investigate what the earsplitting noise was and rid themselves of it. Kate's face paled as that thought came into her head. She might not have done it had she not heard Eddy's cries.

"No!!! Not that!! Argh!!!"

Kate wasted no time as she took a deep breath and performed her call louder then she ever had before.

Meanwhile…

Double D, Tyrone and Yoko were struggling to come up with a plan.

"Oh dear…" Double D said pulling at his hat. "This is going worse then I anticipated…"

"Worse then… isn't THAT the understatement of the year?! Well, what do we do now Mr. Genius?!" Tyrone yelled angrily. He was fed up with sitting around and doing nothing while his friend was in harms way. Not only that, but he barely got any lines this entire episode. The last thing he wanted was to be considered a minor character.

"Please Tyrone. I know you're concerned for Ed, but we need to think this through"

At that moment, a paper plane soared past them and then found itself colliding with Tyrone's eye. I can tell you right now, it didn't help his mood much.

"ARGH!! Why you…!" He growled tossing it to the ground and preparing to stomp on it until Yoko pulled it away. Tyrone, not having enough time to react, stomped down hard enough to have his leg sink below the ground a foot. Tyrone was about to scold Yoko when he saw her reading the paper.

Dear Double D,

We have Ed, Eed, and Eddy with us. If you ever want see them again, you'll bring

a total of $3.50 to the middle of the Hole before midnight. Your friend's safety is

guarantied upon the delivery of the money.

Love, The Kanker Sisters plus Vicky.

P.S, Come alone. Or else.

P.P.S, wear something nice.

Double D looked at the note over her shoulder and quivered. Come alone? That was the last thing any Ed, or any human being wanted to: being alone with the Kankers in the Hole. He remembered the last time he was at the Hole. He had accidentally dropped a text book on Lee Kankers foot and established a status as the toughest kid in school. Jimmy had helped him restore his good name by having a fake fight in at the Hole, but due to Eddy's provoking, Double D walked away beaten to a pulp. The Hole was far in back of the school, and it had many urban legends floating around it. That was the main reason they chose that area to fake a fight. If everyone saw them fighting THERE, everyone would instantly think that Jimmy and Double D really had it in for each other. Of course Double D remembered where the hole was but he was none too enthusiastic about going back for any reason. Then a thought came to mind.

"Vicky?" He said taking the letter. He remembered the day he was showing Eed around the school. He saw a name on the homeroom arrangement list, but didn't think much about it at the time. Were the Kankers holding Vicky hostage too? No… if they were, they would have mentioned her along with Ed, Eed, and Eddy… but they had mentioned her along their names, as if she was one of them… Edd shuddered at the thought. Another Kanker? Perish the thought!

"DOUBLE D!!" Tyrone roared loudly into his ear breaking him from his thoughts and nearly making him deaf.

"What the heck's wrong with you? You've been standing there for five minutes staring into space!"

"What should we do Double D? This sounds like a trap..." Yoko said with much worry in her voice. Double D looked over at them and saw the helplessness in their expressions. I'm the brains… they're counting on me…he realized. He placed his hand to his head and struggled to come up with an idea. Just when all hope seemed lost, they heard a horrible screech that sounded like a hundred nails against a chalkboard.

The Kanker's truly had a terrible taste in fashion. They had made them over before they came and to properly explain how they looked, if Kevin saw them they would actually ENCOURGE him to beat them up. They wore terrible suits that were too long for them, and their faces had fake beards super glued to them to 'make them look more mature'. They themselves wore dresses that they claimed their mom made just for them. If so, then horrible fashion sense ran in the family. Completely miss matching colors and outrageously large clip on earings. Although Vicky's fashion sense wasn't as bead, it was oddly disturbing. She wore ALL purple. Dress, nail polish, eye liner, even lipstick. With all this, she had an oddly wicked air about her. Although Eddy noticed this he didn't care. In his eyes, Vicky was still a babe.

"Psst... hey..." Eddy whispered to Eed.

"What?" He responded irritably.

"Wanna trade?"

"Shut up..." He said stomping down hard on his foot, making Eddy's eyes water.

Eddy had to admit, the Kankers put a lot into this. They sat in the middle of the Hole, tied down to the chairs that the Kankers stole from the schools basement. Everything that you would expect to be at a party was there. Chairs, balloons (held by down by rocks), even food and drinks. The Kankers knew how to cook, and the Ed's knew that from experience. That made things much worse. The smell of the food had their mouths watering and they weren't allowed to take from ANYTHING from the snack table until the dance started, and that was IF Double D showed up. Vicky stood close to Lee while they waited impatiently for May to come back. Marie was in charge of watching them, which wasn't that hard, being that they were too afraid to move. Ed's mouth watered messily as his abnormally large tongue tried to get a taste of the food.

"Hey! Hands off!" Marie yelled shoving Ed's tongue forcefully back in his mouth.

"No one eats until MY date gets here!"

"Oh come on! We've been sitting here for half an hour! Can't we at least get a snack? It's only fair!" Eed said with a sigh. Apparently he still thought the Kankers understood the concept of "fair". Marie grinned as she snatched him out of his seat and spun him at mach 5. He spun so fast, his feet drilled into the earth, where only his head stuck out of the ground.

"Hungry now?" She asked almost innocently.

"N-no, ma'am..." He said as his face turned green. Marie nodded and then noticed something. Eddy had his back turned to everyone and he had been unusually silent. She marched over and turned his chair around to find his cheeks were swollen with food.

"Hey! What do you think you're doing?!" She yelled grabbing him by his throat until his face turned blue. "Cough it up!" She ordered.

"Mmmph"

"What?"

"Mmph. Mmmph"

"Don't talk with your mouth full!" She said slapping him in the back of the head making him swallow. After panting for a few seconds, he spoke.

"Got any desert?" He asked licking his lips.

"Sure thing" She said giving him the same grin she gave Eed. She grabbed a piece of cake from the desert table and shoving it in his pants. Eddy shivered and quivered.

"Now keep quiet!" She ordered.

"Are you going to eat that Eddy?" Ed said watching bits of cake drip from his pants leg.

"S-s-s-shut u-u-up...."

Eed smiled as he noticed the annoyance in Marie's face. He then got an idea. Not a very good idea, but it was an idea none the less.

"Hey"

"..."

"Hey"

"..."

"Hey"

"What?!"

"I have to go to the bathroom!" Eed whined like his sister would.

"Then go!" She said irritably

"But...I'm stuck!" He said trying to move around in the ground. Marie sighed as she grabbed him by his head and pulled him out. As she was about to put him back in his seat, Vicky saw turned back to check on them. The sight of Marie holding her mans head like that it didn't take a rocket scientist to figure out what she assumed was going on.

"GET YOUR HANDS... OFF MY MAN!!!" She roared charging at her at full speed. Marie barely had any time to react as she was tackled to the ground. Vicky nearly ripped her face off as she pulled her by her nose with her two fingers.

"Why you...!" She growled as flipped her over and began slamming her face into the ground repeatedly.

"You and your stupid plan! Where's MY Double D?!" She said before Vicky grabbed her by the arm and body slammed her into the ground.

As they fought, Eed gave Ed and Eddy and look before crawling away. It didn't take them long to get the signal before they were crawling with him. Vicky and Marie didn't seem to noticed them crawl away mostly due to Vicky splattering a Kanker Burger into Marie's face and Marie trying to force Vicky's hair down her throat.

"Eed! That was pure genius!!" Eddy said as they crawled along.

"...Actually... that wasn't part of my plan..." He said with a nervous smirk.

"What?"

"I was trying to annoy her enough to make her wanna let us go" he said with a smirk like it was the greatest idea in the world.

"We tried that once. We got it even worse then ever" Eddy said through grit teeth. He was referring to the 'Reverse Psychology' incident. In other words: They escaped on dumb luck.

"...Oh...oops..."

"What took you so long?" Kated asked as Double D untied her.

"Forgive me Kate. We had a hard time navigating without alerting the Kankers. Regrettably, they have Eed..." He said sadly expecting a shocked reaction.

"I KNOW! That's why I called you! Did you get a ransom note?" Double D looked down at her in surprise as she dug into his hat and pulled the note out. Before he could say anything, Kate snatched the note and read it.

"The Hole... where's that?"

"It's in back of the school but..."

"No time! I'll explain later!" She said pulling him by his hand. Tyrone and Yoko looked at each other in confusion and shrugged before following.

Eddy gasped and wheezed as they stopped to catch their breath. They kept going for what seemed like at least a mile, they still saw no show of civilization. Had they been able to see when they came to the Hole, they would have known which way they could go back. Unfortunately, the Kankers were smart enough to blindfold them before they took them there.

"We're getting nowhere!" Eddy growled irritably.

"What do we do now, Eed?" Ed asked worriedly.

"Why are you asking ME?" Eed asked in surprise.

"You got us into this! This is YOUR fault! If you hadn't gone crazy, we wouldn't be in this mess!" Eddy shouted angrily.

"Oh yeah?! Well, if you and Tyrone wouldn't have teased me when I said I couldn't have candy, I wouldn't have snapped to begin with!" Eed shouted back.

"I think I heard them! They're over this way!" May's voice echoed from behind.

"They're coming!! Get a move on!" Eddy said as he used his feet to scurry along even thought tied up.

"Who?! What?! Where?! Why?!" Ed said slinking alongside him. Eed, being the smarter of the two knew very well that he would never be able to outrun the Kankers while tied up. Instead, he slunk over to a bush and hid. In mere seconds the Kankers came storming out. They were so focused on Ed and Eddy who were out in the open; they didn't bother looking for him. Lee laughed evilly as she twirled a lasso made out of jump rope and ensnared them both. As she pulled them back, Ed bit into a tree in an attempt to get free, but only to have the tree drag along with them.

"Look! They brought us flowers!" May said with a smile.

"Shut up May" Vicky said as she grabbed Eddy by the collar. She wasn't going to bother interrogating Ed again.

"Where's Eed?" She asked balling a fist into his face.

"What?" He said looking over her shoulder where Eed was. He wasn't there anymore.

"That double crosser!!" He shouted almost forgetting Vicky was there and piercing her eardrums.

"So much for this plan of yours!" Lee said with a smirk. She couldn't care less about Eed. She had Eddy and that's all that mattered to her. Marie however, was not so pleased.

"You said I'd have Double D!" She said through grit teeth.

"First of all, shut up. Second of all, he's gonna come to give us the ransom and when we does, he's yours. The money however, is mine" The second she said this, Lee lifted her off the ground.

"What did you say?"

"I-I said the moneys gonna be split. Fifty-fifty" She replied with a nervous smile. On the Kanker toughness scale, Vicky ranked above Marie and May, but it was Lee who was top dog no matter what.

"That's what I thought you said" She said letting her down. "Well, better get these boys back. We'll start the dance early!"

"But what about...!" Marie and Vicky began.

"They're coming fashionably late" She said with a smirk. In other words, she didn't care. Marie wouldn't have mind sharing Ed and Eddy. They had done it more then once. But sharing with Vicky made her sick. Vicky must have seen the look of disgust her face.

"The feeling's mutual..." She muttered.

Kate didn't let up as she continued to drag Double D. He didn't have the nerve to object because every time he began to, Kate glared at him. They were already half-way through the patch of trees in the school and were close to the Hole. Yoko and Tyrone followed although they were unsure why at this point. She kept going along till she tripped over a log.

"Hey, watch it!" the log said. Wait, what?

Kate looked down to see she had tripped over her brother.

".......EED!!!" She cried happily giving her brother and bone crushing hug.

"K-K-Kate… can't...breathe..." He said as his face turned blue. Double D smiled and he ran over and pulled them apart.

"Good to see you're unharmed, Eed. But… where's Ed and Eddy?"

"Hey, it was every man for himself!" He said as Kate untied him.

"What? Can't I be selfish sometimes?" He said as everyone stared at him in disbelief.

"Man, what happened to YOU?" Tyrone asked referring to the lipstick marks and the bad suit.

"Nothing that I would wanna talk about again..." He said wiping the gunk off his face.

"Ok. Now here's the plan..." Kate said suddenly.

"Kate, you could have told as the plan BEFORE dragging us out this far" Yoko said with a skeptical look. Kate grinned as she pulled Double D, Tyrone, and Yoko in a huddle. Eed looked at them nervously as they whispered. Whatever they had planned he had feeling that he wasn't going to like it.

As they turned back, he saw that Kate had something in her hands. A box… and they were smiling. Uh oh…

"Eed. We have a plan. But… it'll require you to head back…"

"No. Way" He said plainly.

"Wait! Hear me out. This box contains a powerful flash bomb capable of rendering a target blind for ten minutes. We need you to go back and deliver it as the ransom. Once the Kankers have been blinded, you can escort Ed and Eddy safely out of there"

"Why can't YOU do it?" He asked suspiciously.

"Because Double D's not brave like you are…" Yoko said touching Eed's cheek gently. "Won't you do it Eed...? For me...? Please…?" She asked sweetly. Eed's face turned beat red as he took the box.

"I…well…duh…" he muttered as he walked back to the Hole.

The other's stood together with the fake smiles still on their faces.

"Do you think we did the right thing?" Tyrone asked through his teeth.

"………Nope"

Eed was still muttering when he arrived. What he saw filled him with a dreadful feeling of horror. Ed and Eddy were being dragged and tossed around by the Kankers in what they considered 'dancing'. Their eyes were swollen in fear as May and Vicky contently 'danced' with Eddy and Marie and May were having their way with Ed. He was about to turn and run when they spotted him.

"It's my boyfriend!" Vicky said tossing Ed to the ground and snatching Eed.

"I knew you'd be back..." She said pulling him to the center. Now there was officially no way out. It was now, or never.

"U-um...t-this i-i-is the ransom... Double D... um..." Marie growled she slapped the box out of his hands.

"Where's Double D?!"

Vicky sighed as she picked up the box. "Leave it to the blue haired butt brain to forget about the money" She said opening the box. To Eed's shock there was no flash but she was looking down at the box in extremely discuss and anger. "What the..." She said pulling the contents out.

"What the heck is THIS?! A potato?! That dirty little weasel!!"

RAAAAAGGHH!!!!!

"I think he opened it" Kate said with a smirk

Dee smirked as he cracked the muscles in his neck making himself look even more intimidating. The Kankers simply looked at him in confusion and mild interest.

"What's up with him?"

Dee smirked and his gaze met Vicky's. More evil then she could possibly match was in those eyes. Walking over, he held her chin up gently. She never in her life felt so nervous. Fear wasn't something a Kanker was used to.

"Now... You're gonna hurt" He said simply before grabbing her by her entire face and hurling her through the desert table.

"What the--" Lee didn't have enough time to react or finish her sentence before being literally pounded into the ground like a stake. As for May and Marie, being a Kanker, you naturally assume you can take on anyone. They charged at him only to be beaten up at well (off screen of course). He had squashed May into the shape of a ball and held Marie like a stick by her legs. Humming a nice tune, he placed May on top of Lee's head and took careful aim.

"Fore!" He shouted striking the 'ball'. His aim was spot on, as it struck a recovering Vicky in the head knocking them both out. Done with them, he stuck Marie in the ground as inch and pulled her back like a long lanky stick. When he let go, she catapulted about a mile until she hit a tree knocking her out. Ed and Eddy watched on more fearful then ever. They didn't know who to fear more: The Kankers or Dee. He frowned and sighed and he looked at them.

"Relax, I'm not going to hurt you...this time" He said ripping the ropes off them.

"W-why'd you help us?" Eddy asked nervously.

"Oh trust me, I wasn't helping you" he said looking back at Vicky. "Little brat made a fool of me... I was simply getting payback"

"Well thank you none the less Dee" Double D said as him and the others ran toward them.

"Double D!!!" Ed bellowed happily as he delivered a bone crushing hug.

"Y-yes Ed... I'm glad to see you too..."

"Hello!" He said twirling around with Double D still ensnared.

"Ed..."

"Hello!"

"E-Ed..."

"Hello!"

"E-Ed...please put me down..." Ed nodded and dropped Ed hard on the ground.

Kate smiled as she held onto Eddy's arm. Then she noticed something.

"E-Eddy....w-why do you have lipstick all over your face?" Uh oh.

"The Kankers do this to us every time..." Eddy said wiping it off.

"Hold on" Kate said calmly to Eddy as she walked over to Lee who still stuck in the ground.

"Are you Lee?"

"What's it to ya, squirt?!" Lee growled trying to get free.

Kate cracked her knuckles and smirked.

"I'm Kate. Keep you hands... off my man..." Then she--

The unimaginably brutal and violent beating Kate is inflicting on Lee has been censored for your viewing pleasure. Thank you.

After she was done, she instantly pounced on Eddy despite everyone's shock of her brutality.

"Eddy-kens! You're alright!!" She cried happily as she clung to his arm. Normally Eddy would have yelled at her to get off, but the sight of Lee getting beat up, made him let it slide.

"Ugh... I think I'm gonna be sick..." Dee said rolling his eyes.

"Well as I said before, thank you Dee... although it wasn't you're intention to help us, we appreciate your 'ahem' contribution"

"Whatever. Bottom line is, you owe me a favor" He said cleaning out his ears with his pinky. Naturally everyone was skeptical.

"We're grateful, not stupid" Tyrone said folding his arms.

"Relax; I'm not asking for anything major. I just want you to stop calling me Dee"

"Alright...then what should we call you?"

"It's Eed who calls me Dee. YOU will refer to me as Ripper"

"Ripper. Got it"

"Ok. Go ahead"

Double nodded and blew the whistle.

"Ugh...my head..." Eed said coming to his senses. Before Double D could say anything, he grabbed him by the shirt collar.

"Don't. Ever. Do that again" He said with clear anger in his eyes.

"Brother, quit being such a crybaby!" Kate said jabbing him playfully.

"Yeah. Your safe now and that's all that matters" Yoko said placing her hand on his shoulder.

"But..." Eddy said grabbing him by his collar. "If you EVER make us go through that again, we're gonna skin you with a clamshell!" At first Eed thought they were joking, but then he saw the serious looks in their eyes. Even Double D.

"Eh... my bad..."

"Well, the night's still young, and we never got to finish treat or treating!" Kate said optimistically. Suddenly, Eed's face turned green. All the candy he consumed plus everything he went through...

"You guys go on ahead... I'm gonna go home and...Arf! Lie down for a minute..."

"Are you sure?" Double D asked worriedly.

"Trust me..." He said coming close to puking.

"I'm sure..."

As they left, Eddy stayed behind. This was a chance of a lifetime: He could mock the Kankers all he wants without worrying about the getting beaten up. He smirked as he approached an unconscious looking Lee Kanker.

"So, not so Cocky now, are you?" He said boldly folding his arms. Suddenly, Lee grabbed him by the lips and pulled him towards her.

"Neither are you" She said with an evil smile. A shadow cast over Eddy and he turned his head to see that the others were up already. They were bruised and covered in cake and food, but even so, they were still intimidating.

"Well, at least we have something to show for this" Vicky said only to be punched in the face by Lee. Eddy saw his chance to escape only to be pulled back by Lee.

"Where do you think YOUR going?"

Meanwhile...

"HELP ME!!!" Eddy's voice echoed from the Hole. Ed, Edd and the others were already out of the patch of trees when they heard him.

"Wasn't that Eddy?" Double said nervously.

"Let it go Double D" Kate said with a sigh. They were all tired and the LAST thing they wanted to do was repeat what they just went through. Everyone, even Ed nodded in agreement.

"But..."

"Just...let it go..."

"...You're right" Double D said putting a piece of candy in his mouth.

Yeah, I know it's a cheesy ending, but it was the best I could up with and I wanted to finish before Halloween was over. Anyway, PLEASE Comment! I want to know what you think about the whole thing. I remember halfway into this I thought "What does this have to do with Halloween again?" Eh, anyway, give me your opinion, or I'll have to continue standing outside of your house staring at you through your window. Come outside. I'll be there. Waiting.
