Eddy woke up in an alley of Chinese-looking town full of restaurants and people going about their daily business. He scanned the area, not really sure what to think about the place.
"Double Dee! Did you teleport us to China again!?" Eddy shouted next to him, only to discover no one was even there.
"Ed? Double Dee? Where the heck are you guys?" Eddy asked, worried. Eddy's eyes started to dart around the area, thinking about every possible place they could have been. Then he smelled something in the air.
'Chicken? Ed might be around here then.' Eddy thought as he made his way to the nearby restaurant to see if his friend was there. He was deep in his thoughts when he suddenly bumped into a man in his mid-30's with dark brown hair, a modified dark green ninja outfit that displayed his abs, and a giant nail on his back.
"Who dares run into the Hero of Love and Jus-!?" as the man turned around and looked at Eddy. "I apologize, young man, I thought you were a villain!"
Eddy, covering his ears at the man's overbearingly loud voice, said "Sorry, old man. I'm just trying to look for my friends. Have you seen a dopey-looking tall guy with one eyebrow and no chin and a nerdy guy with a black ski cap on his head?"
The man thought for a moment. "I cannot say that I have, young man. Do you require my assistance in locating your friends?"
'This guy is friggin' annoying, but not like I have a choice' Eddy thought. "Yeah pops, can you help me out?"
"I will be more than happy to assist someone in need! But I'd prefer you did not call me 'old man' or 'pops.' I am BANG SHISHIGAMI! Defender of LOVE and justice!" he yelled as he struck a pose. "Now what might be your name, young man?"
"I'm Eddy, lover of MONEY and money!" Eddy yelled, trying to mimic Bang's charismatic introduction.
"Lover of money I see…. Okay Eddy, how would you like to follow me as one of my loyal disciples and become a vigilante?" Bang asked.
"Erm, mind telling me what a vigilante is exactly?" Eddy asked, curious since he could still try to make cash in this dimension too.
"A vigilante is a person who brings criminals to justice for the Library and can get rewards for it."
"And what kind of rewards are we talking here?" the three-haired boy asked.
Bang smiled, knowing that he may be getting a new disciple. "The rewards vary a lot based on the danger of the criminals and how they are detained, but they can range from the thousands all the way to the millions."
Eddy's three hairs all turned into dollar signs at the sound of 'millions.' "MILLIONS!? You bet I'm in!"
Bang frowned at how ready he sounded when he heard what Bang had to say. "Um, are you sure you don't want to think this over? Criminals that are worth millions are extremely dangerous and many vigilantes have died trying to capture them."
"Hey, I'll beat them to a pulp if it means getting my hands on those millions! Count me in, Bang!" Eddy pronounced, confirming his willingness to be a vigilante.
"Wonderful! We shall eat and then bring these vile criminals to justice!" Bang shouted happily.
Eddy, covering his hears, said "Great, but can you tone it down a bit? You yell louder than Ed when he sees a chicken."
After a meal of Kagutsuchi puffer fishes simmered in peppers and spices, Bang and Eddy made their way to a nearby wall to check for wanted posters. Eddy's face kept lighting up at each reward he saw, ranging from 4,500 PD (platinum dollars) all the way to 672,000 PD. Then he saw a wanted poster that was worth 90,000,000 PD and his eyes turned into gold nuggets. "Bang! Let's do this one!" Eddy shouted, pointing to the said poster.
Bang frowned. "Are you sure we should take this one on? You are a new vigilante after all. This one may be too difficult for you as of right now."
"Like I care, all I want is the moolah!"
Bang pumped his fist in the air in a fighting stance. "If this is what you wish, then I will be more than happy to oblige you in taking down this vile criminal!" They walked away to catch the high-bountied criminal that Eddy was going absolutely nuts for. On the poster was a picture and a description of the 'Grim Reaper,' Ragna the Bloodedge.
