"Jeez Kokonoe, do you ever clean this place?" Ragna complained. Him, Kokonoe, Lambda, Tao, Tager, Ed, and Double Dee had gathered at the lab to discuss their last part of the plan to lure Eddy back to them and get the Eds all home.
"Shut your trap, Bloodedge. This ain't exactly a party we're having here," Kokonoe shot back. "We just need everyone in one place so we can figure out the last part of getting Eddy here. Double Dee, any ideas?"
"Well Professor, we did all we can in sparking Eddy's interest with the billboard. I had instructed Ed to put up a map to the lab right next to it, so Eddy wouldn't get lost on his way here," Double Dee explained.
"Yep, this map right here!" Ed piped up, showing off the map. Everyone just stared at Ed, wide-eyed. "What?"
"ED! You were supposed to put that by the sign!" Double Dee yelled, facepalming.
"Oh," Ed realized. "Should I mail it to him then?" Ragna hit Ed over the head with the blunt side of his sword, leaving a knob on his head.
Double Dee groaned. "I didn't foresee this circumstance, but then again, I did instruct Ed to do it. You'd think I learn by now."
"Does Sock Head Guy have another idea, meow?" Tao asked. "Tao wants you and Eyebrow Guy to be back with your friend!"
He pinched the bridge of his nose. "Well, I guess what we have to do now is-"
"KEVIN YOU JERK! OPEN UP THE DOOR!" a voice yelled from behind the lab door.
"Holy shit, miracles do happen," Kokonoe said, surprised at their rare luck. "Lambda, go open up the door. Ed, go get your friend." Lambda and Ed went to the door to go let Eddy in. Lambda punched in a few buttons on a control panel to open up the door while Ed waited for Eddy to come through the door.
"EDDY! ARE WE GLAD TO S-" Ed started to yell before he was jumped on by Eddy.
"Trying to get MY bounty, huh!?" Eddy yelled, shaking Ed's head back and forth on the ground. "Not gonna happen, you….. Wait, Ed?" Eddy suddenly said, realizing that he was attacking his friend and not Kevin.
Ed picked up Eddy and gave him a giant, suffocating hug! "EDDY! The three of us are back together at last! We're like up, up, and away! Blah, blah, with the other blah!"
Eddy slugged him in the head. "Calm down blubberhead! And what do you mean, "us three"?" He then looked at Double Dee. "Double Dee? Boy, am I glad to see you guys! I've been stuck with this meathead for the past two days trying to get here."
"Did Shorty #2 say something about a meathead? Does it taste good, meow?" Tao quipped at the first sound of 'meat.'
"No Taokaka, he meant he was with-" Tager was beginning to say right before everyone looked at who came in through the doorway.
"No longer will you have to battle this adversary alone, Master Eddy! For I, BANG SHISHIGAMI, will assist you in taking down this man they call 'Kevin!'" said you-know-who as he struck one of his signature poses.
"You couldn't come here with ANYONE besides him?" Kokonoe sighed.
Bang shot her a look. "I beg your pardon Kokonoe? You seem to forget that Master Eddy and I are chasing a man he loathes named-"
"Can it, idiot! We made the story up so Eddy would come here and we can get the boys home. Though I am kind of surprised he managed to make it here at all, especially since Ed forgot to put up the map."
"I would never forget a place that involved you tearing off my-!"
"Ah, stop! Yeah, my bad! Can we focus now please?" Kokonoe said, trying to change the subject.
"Never! I would never let this pass!"
"Silence, both of you!" Rachel said, teleporting into the lab with Gii and Nago at her side.
"God, I REALLY hate when you do that Rachel. Can't you just walk into the lab like a normal person for once?" Kokonoe complained.
"That is a possibility, but then I would never be allowed access to your lab, child." Rachel quipped. "At any rate, the three boys are here finally. Though I can't believe it took you all two days to finally get them to this point! Mind me asking what kept you all?"
"I've been experimenting with the professor in exchange for finding my friends and getting teleported back to our dimension," Double Dee explained. "Oh, where are my manners? My name is Eddward, but you may call me Double Dee. May I ask who you are, ma'am?"
Rachel was taken back at the sound of someone with actual manners. "Impressive, someone here actually has manners. Very well then, my name is Rachel Alucard, head of the Alucard vampire clan." She looked at Eddy. "And may I ask who you may be and why you came here with this horrid ape of a man?"
"I'm Eddy. And Bang here and I were on the hunt to collect a big paycheck worth 90,000,000 dollars," Eddy said as he looked at Ragna. A vein popped in Ragna's head at the sound of that.
"Sorry runt, bank's closed!" Ragna shot at Eddy, readying his blade.
"Sword Iris!" Rachel yelled as a lightning bolt struck Ragna. "Honestly, can you not be civilized for once, Ragna? If you haven't noticed, we have a dire situation at hand here."
"Hard to be 'civilized' when I have a target worth 90,000,000 on my back, Bunny-Leech! Frying me doesn't make it a whole lot eas- TAO! Get off of me!" Ragna yelled at Tao, who was trying to gnaw his arm off.
"Sorry Good Guy! When the Scary Bunny Lady shocked you, she made you smell like Jimmy Dean's, meow!" Tao apologized.
Rachel rolled her eyes. "Can we PLEASE move forward? This whole situation is becoming tiresome and you all made me miss my teatime for this. Kokonoe, do you have a method on how to get the boys back home?"
Kokonoe looked at her clipboard for a minute. "While the Eds were working on the billboard, Lambda, Tager and I all started to work on the teleporter. I hate to ask this, but Ragna, we need to use the Azure Grimoire in order to power this thing up. And Rachel, we need you to help us move through the Boundary in order to cross dimensions. Even science can't do this, as much as I hate to admit it."
"I knew your science capabilities would reach its limits one day. Very well then, I shall help these boys transcend the Boundary and reach home," Rachel agreed.
"Alright, let's get it over with then," Ragna said.
"Boys, I need you all to move over to where the teleporter is. Ragna's going to activate the Azure and power this thing up. After it gets powered up, Rachel is going to follow you into the Boundary and get you all home. Listen to everything her and I say, got it?" Kokonoe instructed.
"Got it!" the Eds said together. The three of them went over to the platform together and waited for Ragna to activate the Azure.
"Restriction 666 released," Ragna began to say. "Dimensional interference field deployed. BlazBlue, ac-"
"I don't think so!" a sinister voice said, cutting Ragna off. Five Ouroboros chains tore the roof off of the lab and on the edge of the torn roof stood Terumi.
"Oh, shit," Ragna said.
