Sodor Eds
It was late one night at the Saloon, as everyone present was having a good time. Team Avatar, the Cooper Gang and the Eds were there, as were the Mane Six Ponies and Princess Luna. Even the Fat Controller, the Thin Controller, the Small Controller, the Pink Controller and Mr. Shiba of the Imperial Dragon Railway were present and fortunately it was a Soda Saloon.
"So this party is to show the hard work that we've done up to this moment." Carol explained.
"So let's all celebrate and party!" Camille announced.
Carol and Camille put two cups of water into two mugs of root beer and began chugging away as the music played and the party began.
"If only Dustin and Negi could enjoy this with us. They'd love it." Camille said.
"But at least we can bring them some food and build a Saloon at Mahora." Maggie said.
"And perhaps one for the Barrow?" Mira suggested.
"Excellent suggestion." Carol nodded in agreement.
Mr. Shiba and the Controllers were at a table watching the party. They were there to supervise and to make sure nothing happened at the party.
Fat Controller spoke, "I'm a little worried about this party. I mean some of our staff have to wake up and get to work. We all have work to do."
"I hear ya." Mr. Shiba agreed.
Jen spoke up, "What I want to know is whose idea was it to put a Soda Saloon in Wellsworth Station. I just hope Edward the Blue Engine isn't grumbling about the noise."
Double D who heard the comment came over and spoke to the Controllers, "Excuse me. But perhaps I can help."
The Thin Controller asked skeptically, "You can?"
"Of course. I happen to be very skilled at arrangement, organization, and scheduling."
Small Controller spoke, "Makes sense considering that we were told you were the ones who set up the party and who convinced Corina and Coi to make the food."
"I can't believe you even talked Wesley, Elliot, and the Mew Mews into attending." Mr. Shiba said in disbelief.
"Well, Eddy did help with the negotiations." Double-D admitted.
"So back to our problem. Can you go check on Edward the Blue Engine for us?" Jen asked.
"Of course." Double-D nodded.
"Then get going." The Fat Controller ordered, and Double-D hurried off.
Edward the Blue Engine was in the sheds at Wellsworth Station and Nicole and Natalie were spending the night since it was late.
"The biggest party of the year so far and we engines got to help make it a success. But our drivers couldn't attend. It fucking stinks." Nicole cursed.
"Nicole, language." Edward chided her.
Natalie put in, "And if you must know, Nicole, then our Drivers have to be up so they can get to work. If they're not ready then we're not ready and if we're not ready then the passengers will get cross."
"Precisely." Edward confirmed.
"Yeah yeah. I know I know. But still they could at least keep the fucking noise down. Who the fuck builds a fucking Soda Saloon so close to the railway."
"Um excuse me?" The engines saw Double-D poking his head into the shed.
"Who are you? And where did you come from?" Natalie inquired.
"My name's Double-D. And I came here to check in on things by order of the Controllers."
"Then all seems calm so far. Aside from the fact that we can hear the partying in the Saloon all the way here." Edward said.
"My apologies for the discomfort."
"Don't worry about it. At least we don't have to smell fish anytime soon. How the fuck can Arthur, Mary, and Salty stand the fucking smell?" Nicole continued to mouth off.
"Nicole. Language! Double-D's a Minor!" Natalie warned her.
"Sorry."
"Good Lord! Such language from an engine." Double-D gasped.
Edward spoke, "Talk to Galleth and Gordon's old pals. They'll tell you that Nicole's the foulest mouth of the London and North Eastern Railway."
"I see."
Natalie spoke, "Anyway it's getting late. If I were you I'd get some sleep. You can sleep in the Crew quarters in the sheds. We'll have Zeng tell the Controllers that you're in one piece and we're okay."
"Oh, thank you."
"You're welcome." Nicole replied. So the Engines had Zeng tell the Controllers the news as Double D went to get some sleep even after the party continued into the late hours of the night.
Next morning at seven however, Edward Nicole and Natalie were snoozing away and Double-D was in the crew quarters getting his full eight hours. The Railway Controllers had woken up to get the usual paper work done since they left the party early and got some sleep as well.
Double-D was snoring a bit, until suddenly a loud horn sounded like fanfare rang all around.
"What is going on?!" Natalie panicked.
Double-D rolled out of bed, as he saw Eddy and Ed walk in with Ed holding a huge horn, "Rise and shine!" Ed announced.
"This is your early morning wake up call. Brought to you by Eddy." Eddy smiled.
"Eddy, this is not funny!" Double-D chided him.
"What, just making sure everyone's up and ready."
In the Wellsworth Saloon, the Mews were complaining to Corina about the wakeu p Call that Ed and Eddy gave them.
"Look I didn't like it either. They didn't even consult anyone with that wake up call." Corina said.
"That was the loudest wakeup call they ever gave." Zoey groaned.
"They broke my toes. I got nerves." Bridgette said.
"That was loud even for me." Kikki added.
"I think my ears broke." Renee rubbed her head.
"I know what you mean." Corina nodded.
The Mane Six Ponies were having their own meeting about the wakeup call, "That is not the way to wake someone up this early." Rarity said cranky.
"Even the rooster don't crow that loud on the farm." Applejack added.
"My precious ears." Fluttershy whimpered.
"If I find them I'm gonna give them a good buck on the backside." Rainbow warned.
"I thought it was kinda fun." Pinkie smiled.
"Girls, let's not get excited." Twilight calmed them.
"Twilight's right. Imagine how the Engines feel about this." Rarity noted.
Down at Tidmoth, the Engines were pretty pissed about the wake up call, "It's disgraceful to be woken up so early in such a manner." grumbled Gordon.
"Not to mention the stench of one of those Ed boys. I swear, when was the last time the tall one took a shower?" James asked.
"I know." Henry agreed feeling calm.
Galleth was confused, "Honestly, Henry, you don't seem to be bothered by the wakeup call at all."
"I get up at five in the morning to take the Flying Kipper, Galleth."
"Touché."
Salim was angry and annoyed, "All I know is that I never had to deal with wake up calls as loud as this back on the Great Western. This is the loudest one in all my years and I'm over 110 years old."
"If this happens again I'm going on strike." Gordon frowned.
"That makes two of us." Henry agreed.
"Three!" James put in.
"Four!" Josh spoke.
"I think that makes all of us!" Salim declared.
"Natalie and Nicole would agree on that and so would Neville and Murdoch." Galleth said. The engines all nodded on that note.
Over on Thomas' branchline, he Percy and Toby compared the wake up call to Camille's pranks in the past.
"And I thought Camille's pranks were irritating." Thomas said in irritation.
"Even she was never this loud." Percy added
"We better not have to get used to that." Toby hoped.
Thomas spoke, "Let's hope the big engines don't do anything drastic otherwise we'll be getting a visit from their drivers' Arkeyan relatives."
"Speaking of whom the Rough Riders showed up yesterday and attended the party at Wellsworth." Toby said.
"Who wants to bet that they are all in a bad mood from Ed and Eddy's wakeup call?" Percy asked.
"I'm betting on that but imagine how Carol and her bending teachers feel about the wakeup call?" Toby wondered.
At the Sodor Steamworks, Carol, Brian, Maggie, Geoff, Carl, and Edna were all grumbling about Ed an Eddy's wake up call.
"I am not a morning person when awoken like that." Carol grumbled.
Brian added, "My ancestors may have served on the Great Western Railway for generations all the way back to its broad gauge days but they never had to wake up from a loud alarm like this."
"Give me one good reason not to scorch any of them!" Maggie snapped.
"Because they're minors and they have yet to understand how we do things here on Sodor." Geoff reasoned with her. Maggie grumbled at his reason.
"I bet Henry, James, and Gordon are already considering going on strike if this happens again." Carl said.
"I can believe that." Carol agreed.
Edna spoke, "I don't blame them. As an Airbender I like to meditate and build for the day ahead but Ed and Eddy disturbed it. At this point I wouldn't be surprised if my Uncles' Engine, Edward goes on strike over this."
Keira who was being prepped and looked over tried to bring some positive light to the conversation, "Well, look on the bright side. It can't get any worse right?"
They gave Keira a dry look knowing saying that only tempts it. As if on cue Zeng arrived and by the looks on his face he had even more bad news.
"Zeng?" Edna asked.
"Don't tell us, let us guess more bad news already?" Carol asked.
"I'm afraid so."
"By the way Zeng how are things going at the High School?" Carl asked, "Has a new student Council been elected since the six of us left to go save the world after completing all the work we needed to for the year?"
"Yes, but you're not going to like whose been elected."
"You may as well tell us." Geoff said.
"They're names are Cyndi, Taylor, Leila, Kelsey and Sophie."
Carol was horrified, "This is bad. Very very bad!"
"I take it you know of them?" Maggie asked.
"I only know of Cyndi but I never heard of the others until now."
"Then what pray tell is Cyndi like?" Geoff asked.
"She's a long distant cousin of Mandy, the girl who constantly annoys Sam, Clover, and Alex."
"The Rough Riders told me what Mandy is like so Cyndi doesn't sound so dangerous if she's a British Version of Mandy." Keira said.
"You never know." Carol replied.
"Zeng. Fly back to the school and keep an eye on the council." Carl ordered.
"Right." Zeng flew off.
"I just hope Camille hasn't blown a blood vessel once this news reaches her." Carol hoped.
"Knowing her..." Maggie trailed off.
At the Sodor Dieselworks a loud yell could be heard and Zazu was already trembling as soon as he finished giving the news.
"I expected this." Zazu sighed.
"Camille's pissed." Den said.
"What Den means is you had best brace yourself, Zazu." Dart warned the messenger.
"Quite so."
"I do not know what's worse. Ed and Eddy's Wakeup call or the fact that Cyndi's on the fucking council!" The girl snapped.
"Cousin Camille, please you must compose yourself." Richard calmed her. Camille started taking deep breaths.
"Okay would somebody tell me how having Cyndi in the council is worse than Ed and Eddy's wakeup call?" Seth asked.
"Cyndi is a British cousin to a girl named Mandy who is the arch nemesis of my friends Sam, Clover, and Alex from Malibu University." Camille explained.
"And you know this how?" Michelle asked.
"After meeting Mandy, I did some research on her family."
"This would've been easier if we had the Geno Scroll." Mira asked.
"Precisely."
"By the way I forgot to ask, Camille. Does Cyndi have any other cousins we need to know about?" Benjamin asked.
"Just Mindy and she's a blonde version of Mandy with a southern accent."
"I see." Mira said.
"Yep. Either way Zazu flew all the way from Tokyo for a reason." Seth put in.
"I did. Turns out it's time for Ezekiel to return to Tokyo and for Rosie to return to Sodor."
"Figured it was time for that." Camille saw it coming.
"Either way Rosie should be here in three days at best."
"Zazu, do you have any more good news?" Seth hoped.
"Well, actually..."
"What is it? Rosie's coming but is anybody else coming?" Benjamin asked.
"Of course. Mr. Shiba's third child and youngest daughter Kaoru is coming for the Foreign Exchange Program at Tidmoth High and Hiro, Steve, and Akiza are as well."
"Okay we know that Hiro is a JNR D51 Mikado but who are Steve and Akiza?" Mira asked.
"Steve is a JNR D61 and Akiza is a JNR C61." Zazu explained.
"Now that we've got that settled let's talk about Eddy's Wake up call." Camille suggested.
"I spent most of my life in Southampton and I've heard Ship Horns that weren't as loud as that!" Seth began.
"He better not be a permanent wake up caller." Mira added.
"I only got 5 hours of sleep. Five hours!" Michelle snapped.
"Ok. Let's all calm down." Camille calmed them.
Benjamin agreed, "Camille's right. We need a plan and I have an idea. Why not let Ed and Eddy do that to the new Student Council of Tidmoth High only? That way we get a good laugh, they get to do the wakeup call and we all don't have to resort to violence?"
"Perfect." Camille nodded.
Zazu couldn't help but voice his concerns at Benjamin's plan, "I say you're playing with fire, Benjamin."
"Lord help you and your friends." Den added.
Dart put in, "What Den means is this is dangerous and if you and your pals end up in the hospital we are not telling, BoCo, Salty, Sidney, Bear, Diesel or their Drivers what happened."
"Oh, come on. You worry too much." Benjamin brushed off their warnings.
"And besides we've got Dragons on our side." Richard added.
Zazu sighed, "I'm gonna go check on Zeng and lend a wing," So Zazu flew off. When Zazu found Zeng he could already see the messenger goose was listening in on the Student Council, "What's going on in there?" Zazu asked.
Zeng answered, "Cyndi, Taylor, Leila, Kelsey, and Sophie are already talking about what they're gonna do now that they're in control and they already know Kaoru's coming in three days."
"Oh, dear." Zeng and Zazu looked through the window to see what the council was talking about.
Cyndi spoke up, "Once we've divided and conquered every student in class, they'll have no choice but to accept our rules."
Taylor spoke up, "May I remind you that a few of the students don't attend Tidmoth High anymore due to having completed all the work needed for the school year?"
"No matter. Because when we convert all the students no one will be able to make them question our words." Cyndi replied.
Leila added, "And we can use that early morning wake up call to irritate them."
"Precisely."
"And set the visiting Ed boys on them. Good plan." Kelsey smirked.
"I love the plan." Sophie said.
"And there's one more problem. The Messenger Birds and the Dragons." Taylor noted.
"You're right." Cyndi confirmed.
Leila spoke, "Guys, I have it covered. Remember Jasmine? She and I are old friends before she went on the run with Mindy and Amanda. I still have her number and I can give her a call."
"Do that." Cyndi ordered.
"I'll do it after school but something tells me that she may be watching us as we speak." Little did Leila know that Mindy, Jasmine, Amanda, and the Sinister Sisters were watching them in the Castle Terminal via a Magic Circle.
"Smart girl." Mindy admitted.
Drago who just showed up after practicing with the chi of his Uncle Xiao Fung spoke up, "What do you mean?"
"Leila is very perceptive to feel we're watching them." Mindy said.
"And she remembers that she and I were old friends." Jasmine added.
"And it also seems that a Member of the Shiba Clan is coming." Amanda noted.
"Correct." Mindy nodded.
"Then let's have Drago put his wind powers to the test and whip up a storm." Sage suggested.
"Yes!" Drago cheered.
"And my sisters and I will come with you. You'll need some back up." Scarlett said.
"Very well."
Sapphire spoke, "And we might want to get you some minions of your own. We can't always rely on an entire armada fleet to bail you out."
"You're right. I need the baddest henchmen out there."
"Let Mindy, Amanda and myself worry about that. You just get going." Jasmine ordered. Drago nodded, and took off.
Later on Drago and the Sinister Sisters were flying to Sodor on Shard's back, "So you're Drago. Xiao Fung's Nephew right?"
"Yeah. And here to collect the demon chi of my other relatives."
"You are aware of your relatives' mistakes right?"
"Which is why I will not repeat their mistakes. Especially my father."
"You and your father don't get along do you?" Sage asked.
"Let's just say my dad's failures have brought shame to our kind. And I aim to rectify his failures."
Sapphire spoke, "Well, you'll be happy to know that the Chans are on Sodor and we can burn Vicarstown down to the ground and them along with it."
"Perfect." he smirked.
Shard spoke, "But we also need to make sure that the Power Rangers don't interfere. That's why Devina left a little surprise in the Sodor Steamworks."
Meanwhile in Vicarstown, the Chans were talking about the wakeup call, "While that joke was uncalled for, it was still funny." Jade chuckled.
"Jade, it was not funny. Somebody could've gotten a heart attack." Jackie warned her.
"Hey, Uncle didn't. And he was mostly likely to get it." Jade noted.
Right on cue a very angry Uncle showed up to put his own two cents about the wakeup call, "If three haired boy and repulsive boy do that again, Uncle will teach them not to mess with Uncle!"
"Sensei please. How will you even get near them? The stench on one of them is horrendous." Tohru said.
"It smells worse than Garlic." Jade gagged.
"That is why I wear garlic around neck." Uncle said proudly.
"Well, at least the worst is over. It's not like the forces of Darkness are gonna attack us out of the blue." Jackie said.
"Long time no see Chans!" Drago smirked.
"Remember us?!" Shard asked.
"I remember the butt kicking you got!" Jade mocked.
"That was then. This is now." growled the dragon boy.
"Enough talk. Attack." Shard ordered. Drago jumped in and blew fire all around.
The Chans dodged and escaped the building before running into the Sinister Sisters, "Oh great. Its tweedle dee, tweedle dum and tweedle ditz." Jade sighed.
Sapphire looked at her sisters, "Which is which?" Scarlett face palmed at that comment while Sage sighed.
"So now you hang out with Gecko face?" Jade mocked.
The Sinister Sisters got mad at that comment and blasted Jade with their magic sending her into Uncle and Tohru.
"That's what happens to anybody who talks to us like that!" Sage called.
"Well done ladies." Shard smiled.
Uncle frowned and whipped out his medium and began blasting them with chi magic. The Sinister Sisters battled back with spells taught to them by Devina and Daolon Wong.
Jackie meanwhile was avoiding the tornado blasts from Drago, "Bad day! Bad day! Bad Day!"
"Give it up, Chan. With both fire and wind at my disposal I'm twice as strong as you!" Right on cue, Drago and Jackie then heard an annoying battle cry as the Eds arrived with Ed charging head first into Drago sending him into a wall.
"That's my Skull Bash!" Ed declared.
"Ed, this isn't Pokémon!" Eddy chided him.
"Eddy. Wrong cartoon." Double-D warned him.
"You're beginning to sound like Pinkie Pie." Jackie said.
"Someone call?" Pinkie popped in.
Eddy was shocked, "Where'd you come from?"
"I always know where to show." she grinned.
"Did you bring a way to remove the Wind Demon Chi from Drago?" Jackie hoped.
"I brought the Chi spell for it." she said.
Double-D looked relieved, "Great then you can remove the power from Drago."
"We need Uncle." Jackie said.
"Or we could get Camille." Eddy suggested.
"Either one, just hurry!" Jackie pleaded.
Right on cue, Uncle had been tossed over to Jackie by the Sinister Sisters as Tohru had been knocked out by Shard.
"Jackie, we need to stop this craziness!" Uncle ordered.
"We need to remove the Wind Demon Chi from Drago. Pinkie Pie brought the Chi spell." Double-D explained.
"Pink pony smarter than Uncle gives credit." Uncle admitted.
"Guys, the frog demon is getting closer." Ed cried.
Drago shot fireballs at them, followed by a mix of wind. The Sinister Sisters then added their own magic to the attack forcing the heroes to dodge.
"Uncle, hurry up!" Double-D panicked.
"Do not rush Uncle, sock wearing boy!"
"Let me help." Pinkie Pie helped Uncle mix the spell ingredients in record time.
So Uncle started the chant while directing his blowfish at Drago. Shard noticed this and sent Razor Khan to attack the heroes.
"Ed, protect Uncle." Double-D ordered.
Ed grabbed anything he could and threw it at the Razor Khan. He even used a spare side rod as a club and smashed Razor Khan with it till Uncle casted the spell and sealed the Wind Demon Chi Power in a glass jar.
With the wind demon chi removed. Drago lost whatever Xiao Fung features he had, "NO!" Drago cried.
"Drago calm down it's not over yet. We can still defeat them but for now let's go before they remove your fire power," Shard warned him. Drago nodded and ran off, "We'd love to stay and play but we've got things to prepare for." Shard said. Shard and the Sinister Sisters left as well.
"If it's not over then why are they running away?" Eddy asked.
"Because they're chicken." Jade smirked.
"I love chickens!" Ed cheered.
Tohru spoke, "Actually it's because Drago knows that six more of his relatives were defeated in ancient times. Which means there are six more Immortal Relics across the earth."
"Which means we must find them before they do." Uncle added.
Double-D put in, "And we'll help in anyway we can but first we need to discuss what's been going on as of late. I just had a word with the people on Sodor and while they're upset at Ed and Eddy's wake up call the worse news is whose on the Tidmoth High Student Council."
"What's the big whoop?" jade asked.
"We'll tell you later. Right now we better get this power to the containment unit." Double-D suggested. Jackie nodded in agreement.
