3. Our Lives Changing III: What to do?

Wow the next Chapter, lets discover something!

Well hey to all those and those who are reading this. I can't believe that I gave them those powers though since they are way to awesome to be in this story, but hey I did it and I'm not going back.

I really hope that you're reading this since I feel as if no one reads it.

Well lets just go to the chapter:

Title page: Right:Techlin was on the right with his left arm with multiple blades sticking out and the other covered in ice.

Top: Eddy was atop with him running with his speed leaving after images with fire in his hands.

Right of Techlin: Dante was next to Techlin with his slingshot drawn with him posed to fire with electricity over his body with his arms as silver metal.

Bottom: Ed having cuts on him that was in mid-healing with his hands with blue lines coming from his hands holding sharp needles that was coming to him.

The rest: Edd was shown with him in middle of turning invisible with his hands glowing with a light blue sphere around them.

Chapter 3: Our Lives Changing Arc Finale: What to do? And A Week Later

Techlin came running inside the Junkyard heading straight for the spot that they always shared. He still couldn't believe that he have superpowers, and not one, but two of them! Techlin ran faster when he remembered that the others might not be here and maybe he can help them if they somehow got caught. Techlin turned the corner that lead to the Retro-Van and made a dash when he didn't see anyone and when he got there, he sighed in relief when he saw Eddy sleeping on the water bed.

Techlin grew a smirk when he decided to pull a prank on Eddy. Moving closer to him he climbed into the van and he made his hand turn ice cold. His hand was covered in a thin coat of ice. When he was in arms reach he touched Eddy's arm and watch Eddy jump up and hit his head where Ed's head crashed through two years ago. Techlin laughter filled the air as his friend struggle to get out and when he did he laughed once he saw his red face as he tried to heat himself up.

Eddy just wanted some rest after counting the money and wrote a note on some toilet paper and put to the jar with some tape that was about to lose his stickiness. As he slept he felt cold and by cold he meant really cold so waking up he launch himself up and fit his head through the hole Ed made two years ago.

' We should really get this thing fixed.'Eddy thought as he struggle to get out and that's when he heard laughing and knew who it was. Eddy was able to get out as he warmed his body without making any fire and when he saw Techlin and his ice covered hand he knew that he had powers and more importantly that he did it!

'' Oh you think that's funny tough guy, well you need to warm up a little!'' Eddy said sending a small flick of red fire from his finger too Techlin's arms and was satisfied when the laughing boy yelled in pain as he turned his whole arm to ice to extinguish the fire and cool himself down. He looked at Eddy and saw him throwing up and down a fire ball in his left hand and was ready to throw it at him.

'' Truce?'' Techlin asked holding out his ice covered hand.

''Truce.'' Eddy said grabbing the hand with the fire and they shook until they both pulled away from being burned or getting frost bite. Techlin got out with Eddy following as he sat on the ground with Eddy sitting on the ledge of the back entrance.

'' So did the you see Double D, Ed or Dante on the way here?'' Eddy ask.

'' Nope I hope they made it out though cause the students was more angry with us then usual.'' Techlin said knowing those kids was out for blood.

'' Maybe because we got their money and they didn't! '' Eddy said with a chuckle, can't believing how much that scam worked out in the end.

Techlin shrugged thinking that was the reason and then he felt someone poke his shoulder. He looked over his shoulder and saw no one. He felt another poke on his shoulder and looked the other way. Techlin looked at Eddy who was looking at him with a 'what' face.

'' Will you stop that.'' Techlin said as he felt someone touch his shoulder again.

'' Stop what?'' Eddy said with a glint in his eyes. Techlin looked at Eddy and then he felt another poke and looked behind him and he felt another on his back and then another on his head and soon he felt it all over his body.

'' Will you stop that!'' Techlin exclaimed as he looked at Eddy a little annoyed.

'' Oh come on are you gonna ask how I'm doing it?'' Eddy asked with a groan knowing that Techlin wasn't that dumb.

'' I already know since you can make fire and have super speed.'' Techlin said knowing that Eddy couldn't have done the poking that fast. And that he saw the blurs of his hands, though barley.

'' Okay okay, but what about you I know you have ice and all, but what about another one?'' Eddy asked since if hes the only one with two powers then he had to rubbed it in on them. He was a little surprise when hw showed him his arm as he made the black blade appear.

'' I don't know if I can only do blades, but I can remove them.'' Techlin demonstrated it by making a blade longer and he pulled it out of his skin and it came with a good grip as he did a few swings with it.

'' You think the others are alright, now?'' Eddy asked when Techlin absorb the blades back into him.

'' If they have powers like us then yeah.'' Techlin agreed and his fact was proven when Ed came out of nowhere and was caring a big boulder that he got from somewhere. But what shocked them was that Ed was using a blue thing that was around his hand and was around the boulder, and he was yelling as he ran and tripped making a big thud as the boulder impacted with a mountain of garbage sending it everywhere and making the ground shake a little.

'' Ed what hell are you doing?'' Techlin and Eddy exclaimed together once they saw there friend who look at them with a smile and ran, scoop them up and hugged them.

'' Eddy! Techlin! You guys made it! Ed is happy!'' Ed said as he crushed them in a hug as the two struggled to get out.

'' Yeah Ed...now let...us...go!'' Eddy said as Ed listen and dropped them with a chuckle as the two caught their breaths.

'' Okay now that my lungs aren't being crushed, what the fuck were you going to do with that boulder?'' Techlin asked knowing that carrying a boulder was not a smart idea, even for Ed.

'' Well if you guys wouldn't make it back I was going to carry the boulder and go to the location and scare the kids away with my SUPERPOWERS!'' Ed exclaimed the last part with it echoing in the air as the two boys covered their ears.

'' You know this spot suppose to be secret and you yelling isn't making it any less secretive!'' Techlin said as Ed apologize though the smile on his face said that he didn't care. Sighing he decide it not to bother him quite expecting that Ed would do something.

'' So you can lift stuff lumpy.'' Eddy guess his friend's superpower as he looked at the boulder that was on the pile of little trash.

'' Yes cause I have Zero-point Energy powers!'' Ed exclaimed still excited as the two boys looked at Ed.

'' You have what?'' Techlin asked not knowing what zero point energy was.

'' Zero-point energy or known as Z.P.E: the lowest possible energy that a quantum mechanical physical system may posses, an amount of energy associated with the vacuum of empty space, able to be converted into a field of quantum energy that inhibits physical movement.'' Ed gave the definition to the still confused boys.

'' Yeah... lets wait til Double D get here so he can get us a more simple understanding.'' Techlin suggested as he sat back on the ground and messed with his powers a little trying to see if he can make some more shapes with his ice powers.

'' Agreed.'' Eddy agreed as he went back to doing what he was doing when he came to the entrance: juggling fire balls real fast. Ed looked back and forth between the ice and fire users and he started laughing.

With Dante at Junkyard entrance

Dante just made it too the entrance panting having run for a while. He leaned against the green metal wall as to rest. He was panting and sweating as he needed to get to the rest and make sure that his brother and the others were alright. Dante looked around and was glad that no one followed him and that's when he notice the hole in the green metal.

' This wasn't here before.' Dante thought as he looked at the hole and smelled it. Smelling the known stench of fire and melted metal that he grew familiar with ever since he became an inventor.

'' Dante you made it back alive!'' Dante turned once he heard the familiar voice of Edd's and looked around not seeing him.

'' Double D?'' Dante said as he looked around for his friend.

'' I'm right here!'' He heard Edd's voice again, but still couldn't see him.

'' Right where? I can't see you.'' Dante said looking around the area for his friend.

'' Oh! I'm still invisible, silly me.'' Edd said as he became visible to Dante who jumped in surprise when he saw his friend just came out of no where.

'' Dude! Don't do that to me again!'' Dante said holding his chest as he leaned against the wall.

'' Sorry I though I had it off.'' Double D said scratching his neck as he walked to his friend and saw the hole.'' Did you cause this?'' Edd asked as he inspected the hole and knew that someone was going to be mad about it.

'' No I came here and saw that. I think one of the guys did it.'' Dante said knowing that this had to be because of one of the three since why would the garbage men make a hole?

'' Then that means that one, if not, all the others are here! Lets go see.'' Double D said as he ran in with Dante following.

'' Don't you want to know my powers?'' Dante called out as he chased after Double D who was too worried to care.

'' After we find the others!'' Edd said looking over his shoulder at Dante. Edd turned his sight back forward and ran around the oh so familiar corner to their spot and when he crashed into a boulder was when he got that headache again.

'' Where the hell this came from?'' Dante said once he saw the boulder. Edd got up rubbing his head wondering the same thing. But when they heard laughter was when they got an idea who it was since they knew only one guy laughed like that: Ed.

The two quickly went around the boulder to see their friends all safe with Eddy and Techlin looking at Ed as he laughed for no reason at all.'' Guys your all safe!'' Ed said as he abruptly stopped laughing to wave at the two new arrivals.

'' Double D!'' Eddy exclaimed as he ran to his friend

'' Dante!'' Techlin said standing up as he walked to his friend.

'' Guys!'' Ed exclaim as he ran and scooped up Techlin who yelled in surprise, then getting Eddy, and finally he got Dante and Edd and ran around hugging his best friends.'' We are now one again!'' He exclaim as he ran around crushing his friends with his hug.

'' That's... nice Ed...but...please put us... down!'' Edd said not getting enough air and when Ed let them go was when he, and the other two boys, felt the air come back in. They all got back up walking to the Retro-Van. Once they got there they got in their own sitting spots. Techlin would lean against the wall with his arms folded, Dante would sit on top of the Retro-Van, Eddy would stay inside on the water bed, Ed will sitting on the ground, while Edd would sit on the ledge of the Retro-Van's back entrance.

This was a normal thing for them until the situation at hand came back to them.

'' Hey guys,'' Edd said with a uncomfortable voice as he receive four 'hmm' in response.'' did anyone experience a weird dream last night?''

'' Yeah with white fluffy clouds or what ever that was.'' Techlin added as he pushed himself off and came into view of the others.

'' And with a strange lady talking to us.'' Dante said adding that part and remembering her as he looked over the back roof.

'' Hey yeah we shared the same dream!'' Eddy exclaimed with him and rest realizing that.

'' She said we had superpowers!'' Ed said definitely remembering that part.

'' So did anyone else woke up to pain or something like that?'' Double D asked the four wondering if they all experience something like that last night.

'' Yeah I woke up with my throat as dry as sand! Even when I drank water it didn't do much. Then after that I got hot like really hot so I screamed in pain from it and tried to cool myself down, but nothing worked.'' Eddy explained his experience last night hopping that another one like that was never going to happen.

'' Me too, but instead of feeling hot I felt cold really cold as if someone locked me in a meat locker below zero. Then after that I felt like someone was poking me at first then it felt like stabbing and I was screaming at that point with every attempt of making myself warm failing. I was bleeding a little if the blood on my pj's and the blankets I wrapped myself around with have a say in that.'' Techlin explained his experience knowing that the pain was almost unbearable.

'' I had a tickle in my belly so I laughed, but then I couldn't stop and it kept on tickling til I started crying from laughing so hard. I think my lungs almost died!'' Ed explained his experience. He hopped the next tickle will be short and less painful.

'' Well last night I woke up but I felt heavy, real heavy, so much even though I was wide awake my eyes kept closing feeling like led was weighing me down and my bed almost broke. I also felt something like electricity going through my body and when it hit my head I kept blacking out and screaming. The only thing that ultimately hurt was the electricity.'' Dante said his experience still not liking how heavy he was.

'' Well I'll admit shamelessly that I woke up with a severe headache and when I reached my bathroom to take some aspirin I blacked out and then I came back and I was saying things that didn't made sense with me saying things in languages that I didn't even learn! I was also jumping around the bathroom like a mad man on sugar! So basically I lost every control over my mind and body.'' Edd said with a blush embarrassed by that fact.

'' I knew someone else beside me and Techlin was screaming, but I knew that words was coming from somewhere.'' Dante said figuring there was someone else screaming besides him and his brother.

'' But why did we all do that stuff?'' Eddy asked the question that he wanted answered, the others not far behind.

'' Well in my, or our, dream I heard the mysterious lady say something like 'The seal upon your powers shall be lifted and now you may used them to your full disposal'. I guess our bodies was adapting so that we may control our powers to the fullest.'' Edd guessed as the others accepted that with what he said making perfect sense of why it happened and that they had no other explanation

'' But how you guys discover you powers?'' Dante asked curious of how they found out.

'' Well after me, Ed, and Eddy split up Kevin was ready to beat me with a bat til I thought to disappear and I figured out my ability to become invisible.'' Double D showed them as he was there and a second later he wasn't and when Eddy felt a poke on him on multiple places he waved around trying to get Edd away from him.

'' Stop it!'' Eddy said and when Double D and Techlin shared a chuckle and turned back was when he did stop.

'' Right and after that I discovered a second power. I was about to run out the door, but I was caught by Kevin and if I didn't act fast enough I would be in the hospital and when I felt something in me I pushed him and I was surprised when he and I flew the opposite direction at high speeds, but I gained a headache but it went away fast.'' Edd explained as he made the blue sphere appear in his hands to show them to all.

'' Cool Double D got invisibility and the power to make force fields! A classic!'' Ed said excited. Edd nodded at that agreeing that those was his two powers.

'' Well mine happened when me and Ed split up. I was corned by Jonny and Rolf and when I saw the opening I ran, but the weird part was that I ran from the school to the Junkyard without stopping! I didn't feel tired in the least and I didn't break a sweat. So when I got to the entrance I felt hot in my hands and when I snapped my fingers a fire came out, and I juggled a little and then I messed up and hit the wall and made a hole but I was able to stop it.'' Eddy showed his powers by running out and around the junkyard and stop in a skid in front of everyone and he juggled blue fire the whole time doing it.

'' So Eddy has super speed and fire powers so cool!'' Ed cried out excited even more and wanted to see more powers.

'' When I ran from the students chasing me I thought I lost them when I did an smoke bomb on them, but they tricked me and I was cornered I tried talking my way out and it failed so when I pushed my hands forward I felt like a spark of electricity going through me and when I opened my eyes the students was all knocked out with lightning all over them. I played with it, but left since some started moving.'' Dante said as he show both the lightning colors to them.

'' On the way here I got heavy and crashed making a crater so trying to figure it out I thought that my arms was heavy and they did get heavy and sunk more into the ground. So after trying I discovered that I can turn myself into a silver metal and make it turn liquid.'' Dante explained as he made his arms into silver metal and turn it to liquid, controlling the liquid to go to one location to the next and return back to him.

'' Electricity powers and Metal manipulation! Another good combination classic!'' We all know who.

'' Oh oh! My turn! When I was about to be killed by Sarah I hold my hands out and when I looked I saw some blue lines coming from my fingers and palm to Sarah and Jimmy who was still with blue lines around them. I played a little til Sarah punched me really hard!'' Ed said first demonstrating his power, but lifting up random garbage in the air with his powers and made them move.

'' When I woke up I saw that Sarah was gone and that bruise that I should have was gone! So my powers are Zero-point energy, or Z-P, or Z.P.E and super healing!'' Ed demonstrated this by getting a sharp metal thing and cut his arm from the shoulder to elbow making it bleed lots of blood as it feel on the ground making a dark slightly red spot. When the guys was about to go help they was stopped when the cut healed itself, stopping the bleeding and sealing up the big cut and left nothing as if he was never cut.

'' So Ed have the powers to move and make things that move stay still. It is also said to be able to defy gravity, and the power of super regeneration or to be able to heal in a impossible rate.'' Double D explained to the confused boys who was confused on the first part.

'' So that's what it means!'' Eddy said.

'' That's nice! Well my powers happened just like Dante, but I fought back the ones stupid enough to try and get me. The students charged at me at once and I hold my hands out and I felt a nice chill go out inside me and when I opened my eyes the students was frozen. I left though when I saw the ice started to melt. Then I was able to run out without any trouble.'' Techlin left out the part about his wife knowing that the Eds wasn't ready for that info...yet. He showed them his ice power by making his arm into an ice one and making ice crystals.

'' When I got out of the trees and starting walking to the Junkyard I felt the poking feeling again, but it didn't hurt so I focused and the next thing I knew I had a black blade coming through my palm. So far I can only make blades so I guess that's my second power: to make blades.'' Techlin said showing his power by making blades go through his arms and when he really focus he was able to make some come out his back.

'' Awesome! Ice and the power over blades that is a new combination!'' Ed exclaimed knowing that a power like those must be a strong combination. They all sighed knowing their lives just got fucked up even more

'' So we have superpowers now.'' Eddy said with wonder and a smile.

'' Hehe I guess we do.'' Techlin said with a smile as he got back to his spot.

'' That is so cool.'' Dante added his two cents as he went back on top of the Retro-Van and lay down on it starring up into the sky.

''Oh yeah I got the money ready! Here!'' Eddy said handing it to Edd who saw the note of how much it was and it was about thirty dollars and twenty-five cents. He quickly did the math and quickly passed them out to everyone who got six dollars and five cents. Another successful scam. They then went back to their positions with a sigh thinking that for now, life was good.

'' What to do? Oh what to do?'' Double D said until panic showed on his face.'' Um guys?''

''Yeah.'' Was the relax reply from the boys.

'' What about the other kids?'' Double D asked them as they all shot up from their spot haven forgotten all about them.

'' Damn it what do we do? What do we do?'' Ed asked knowing that if the students saw them and their powers that it will be bad.

'' Oh crap I forgot about those suckers!'' Eddy said slapping his forehead.

'' Aw man! They are going to want questions that we can't answer!'' Dante cried out as he landed in front of the back entrance.

'' Everyone please calm down we can settle this if we put our heads together!'' Edd said trying to stop the panicking boys until the one who hadn't panicked got a tick.

'' Hey everyone just shut up!'' Techlin yelled out to them and that immediately quiet them down as they turn their attention to him.'' Look I think if we cool our heads here we can figure out something just like Double D said we have to put our heads together.'' Techlin said as everyone chuckled when he said 'cool our heads' since he himself was cooler than cool, literally.

They all sat back down on the ground in a circle that somehow formed as they thought of what to do.'' Well we can try avoiding them?'' Dante was the first to say thinking it was a good idea

'' That's a good one.'' Eddy said willing to take anything he can get.

'' But why can we just lie about something?'' Techlin asked wondering how hiding from them is any better.

'' Because they all are far from dumb. They will question how Dante made them knocked out with just putting his hands up. Then there's the fact that Sarah and Jimmy witnessed first hand of Ed's powers and might spread it around. Eddy they, and we all know your fast, but for you just to be gone in a blink of a eye now that will raise questions. Techlin you froze the students so its quite obvious how that will work out with a excuse. And I can't make up an excuse for me just disappearing like I did.'' Edd gave the details of why they couldn't lie with them agreeing with a sigh.

'' So we hide, but where since we have to go to school tomorrow.'' Ed asked knowing that they can easily get them in school.

'' Well we get to class as fast as we can and at lunch we'll go to the roof.'' Eddy said knowing the only of two ways they can avoid them with the other being ditching school, but Edd wouldn't allow it.

'' Okay okay I see that problem done with, but what about what the lady said in our dream?'' Techlin asked them remembering something important.

'' About what?'' Edd asked speaking for he and the other three.

'' About how dangerous times are coming and soon, the world's fate will lay in your hands.'' Techlin said as they all then thought of it.

'' Well she also said we are the Chosen Ones meaning we're the only ones who can do the job so the best way for better pay is training.'' Eddy said smacking his fist into his open palm.

'' I agree with that. We need a control over our powers or it may become dangerous to our loves ones and friends.'' Double D said with Ed agreeing both not having a clue of what to do.

'' Yeah I see the good plan, but where can we work on controlling our powers?'' Techlin ask the important question at which Dante shot up.

'' I know the perfect place! You guys know how I like to explore a lot when we're not together,'' The four said yes knowing that Dante was very adventurous at times and always finding things.'' well on Winter Break I went exploring in the grasslands out of the city and I found this old and abandoned gag-factory. Its perfect since so one goes there no more!''

'' But how far is it from here?'' Eddy asked knowing, with the others, that Dante was gone for two days on Winter Break.

'' About an hour or three walk with Eddy probably able to make it their in a few minutes.'' Dante said taking in account of Eddy's speed.

'' But that is way too far! By the time we get there it'll be six or later and we'll only have a little time of training.'' Double D said knowing that with it that far they'll won't get much practice before leaving.

'' I know so that is why our friend Eddy going to give us a ride!'' Dante said.

'' What I can't carry you all especially with Ed!'' Eddy cried out knowing that he got strong, but not that strong.

'' I know, but that's why we'll hang on to you as you run to the factory. It'll be perfect for your speed training!'' Dante said pointing out why he had to do it and how it benefit both him and them.

'' I guess I could try, but if I don't get faster you all will need a new ride!'' Eddy said heatedly knowing that it better not be for nothing with Dante nodding.

'' So we have an training spot, but who should we tell?'' Ed asked though since he wasn't well with keeping secrets that much and he knew how superheroes needed to stay secret but he couldn't lie to his parents.

'' No one for now, I say we should wait til the end of the week. I believe we'll have a proper grasp of how powers by then.'' Edd said getting up saying what needed to be done since their parents won't understand and won't like it if they don't have control of their powers. All agreed with that having nothing better to think of.

'' Okay boys we have our plans so lets make them happen! Everyone all aboard the speed train!'' Eddy said impersonating a train conductor waiting for the others to hang on to him.

'' You wanna go right know?'' Techlin asked that surprise that Eddy was so eager to do it now.

'' Yes now the faster we get control of our powers the better!'' Eddy exclaimed with the rest deciding that for once Eddy was right about this. Ed grabbed on to his back shirt with Dante doing that to Ed on his jacket, then Techlin to Dante and with Edd to Techlin. It looked like a train, sort of, and then Eddy was off with the boys yelling in fear or excitement. Dante was shouting out direction as Eddy ran.

7 Minutes Later

''Stop!'' Dante yelled as Eddy put his feet down as he slid to a stop with the grass under him going away as dirt came and he stopped just before hitting a gate and that would had hurt. Everyone got off with them whipping a little dirt that got on them and they saw that they was in a field of giant sunflowers. They couldn't believe it was this far since one of these isn't that close to the city. This gag-factory was an old if the many broken and dusty windows had a say with a few spider webs.( AN-It looks like the Factory in Ed, Edd n' Eddy Big Picture Show! Picture is on Profile)

''This is the place?'' Eddy asked hopping it is since he got dirt all over his pants as he tried whipping it off.

'' Yep this is the place!'' Dante said as he crawled through an opening in the gate with the others following with Ed just walking through breaking the gate and making a bigger hole. Eddy saw the door and the lock as he decided to open it. He did a few tricks with his hair and it unlocked.

'' Cool Eddy! Do it again!'' Ed said exited as he saw his friend unlock it like that like he did that one time that he forgot.

'' Maybe later.'' Eddy muttered as he opened the gray steel door. Creaking greeted them as Eddy pulled them open showing how that the place hasn't been used in a while. The inside was worse as there was boxes of old gags with spider webs everywhere and that it was obviously dark. Edd saw an office at top with a stair way leading up, with the office being held up by four wood pole

'' I'm going to see if there is a light switch.'' Edd said as he used his force field powers to make a little light for him since the dust was covering the windows and was letting little light in. He went up the stairs and he had to admit that this place really needs a good cleaning cause when he touched bars on the stairs it was covered in dust and the small office area was too when he reached the top and opened the door, well it fell off the hinges and slam to the floor.

'' Ya alright Double D!'' Said boy heard Ed called up after hearing the slam.

'' I'm fine the door just fell off the hinges!'' Edd called back down as he continued in the dusty and ruined office.

Papers was scattered everywhere in sight and Edd guess that it was old business papers. It looked like a typical work office, a desk with a lamp, a file cabinet and a wastebasket, all having spider webs. The file cabinet, when Edd move forward he saw that it has several files that are named after the gag products such as vomit, gum, etc. He pulled one of the cabinets open and as to read the files to see what this place was called, but the papers was so old they literately turned to dust in his hands. As he looked with the little light he had he was able to see a switch on the wall with rusty metal going up and through the ceiling.

' Okay since the wires are there I guess this is the generator.' Edd thought as he went and turned off his powers and flipped the switch and sighed when the power came on along with the rest of the factory.

'' Hey Sockhead how is the view!'' Eddy yelled up to Edd as he came out. Edd looked and saw how it looked like any factory with a assembly lines and everything, but this was the working area and the place had to be more bigger since workers needed a place to eat. But it was still dirty and could use many repairs and cleaning. There was spider webs everywhere that was in full formation meaning that this factory could have been abandon for years or even over a decade.

'' Its great but I think we should clean it up first!'' Double yelled as he made his way down.

'' What! Why?'' Dante said not feeling like cleaning. Edd sighed as he came down the last set of stairs knowing that they'll complain so he made a reason if they wanted.

'' Well since this will be our training area, for who knows how long, then we'll be here for hours and, if we ask our parents after telling them, for days even. But I also see this as a way to help our powers. For instance some of this stuff we don't need and since its too far from here to the Junkyard Eddy can burn it since the items are useless.'' Edd said rejoining the four on the first floor.

'' I get it. Since some of this stuff is heavy Ed can use his powers to see how much he can lift or I can freeze some things that we need to break.'' Techlin said really feeling that he himself couldn't do much with his powers right now

'' Don't worry bro we'll get you something to do.'' Dante said putting his arm around his brother shoulder who nodded in thanks.

'' Well lets get started gentlemen, Ed I want you to move all machinery to right where we're standing, Dante once Ed gets the machinery here try tinkering and changing them around a little to better suit us for training but I also wants you to see if there is a power source and see if we can rewired it so that no one will get suspicious of the power coming on.'' Edd said giving two jobs to the two.

'' On it!'' Dante and Ed said moving to do their job.

'' Techlin I need you to go with Ed that way if he can't get something off you can freeze it so that it may weaken. Finally Eddy you and me are going to do some dusting and cleaning.'' Edd finished as he got out a bag full of cleaning supplies from out of no where and pulled out the necessary cleaning supplies.

'' What why can't I do something cool like the other?'' Eddy whined.

'' Eddy with your speed we can be done faster than you think so stop whining and come help!'' Double D said as he put on some yellow cleaning gloves as Eddy grumbled and did as he was told.

Eddy knew that this is how it work between all of them. Sometimes others will lead the group for some reason either for a scam or for something else. Eddy though was the general leader of the group with others taking charge if they step up too it. Eddy sighed just glad that he had powers to do this even faster.

Eddy propped Edd on his back and with a towel and spray in hand he set out with the boy on his back as he speed his way around the factory with every spot that passed by becoming clean. Ed was able to lift three assembly lines right before the two crash into them as they zoomed pass.

Ed lifted the machines in the air and set out set out to move, but the machine wasn't that heavy. Techlin watched as his friend walked to the area that Edd told him to set it all up at. Ed sat it down gently as not to break them.

Ed went to do that with the rest, with Techlin being able to freeze them as they was bolted to the ground. The two figure the first three was loosened as these still held on over the years. Techlin told Ed to wait wanting to try something. Techlin put his hand on the ground and he felt the ground and closed his eyes, he found out that he had a six sense with him able to tell where the cold areas was and to pinpoint them and so he felt his blade powers go into the ground just as he wanted and when he felt he was close to the cold areas he controlled them to come up and when he heard cracking of ice and with Ed saying wow he thought he was successful.

He opened his eyes and saw that he was right and that he unattached the bolts to the machine, but what surprise him was how big the blades was. It was as tall as Ed with very sharp tips and it was the perfect shape that can be used for an normal blade, but taller and more dangerous. He thought them to come back and they retracted back into the ground leaving marks and came to him with Techlin staggering a little not used to feeling that size and so many coming back to him so fast.

'' Wow thanks Techlin!'' Ed said as he lifted it up carrying it to the other pile.

'' No problem.'' Techlin said looking at his hands making the blades appear again. He knew that after this training was going to be fun.

With Dante

Dante push open the door and walked in and saw the other area of the factory. He saw a dusty wooden counter with gags behind it on the shelf with them all covered in dust and webs as well. He saw the windows boarded up and was glad that there was lights on cause if it wasn't then he'll be staring at darkness. When he saw the cash register he guessed it was a store.

' So the factory is a store also.' Dante thought as he looked around the area and saw another door leading to somewhere else and when he heard some rustling as he came closer his curiosity beating his common sense. So kicking open the door with a slingshot in hand he aim inside the room and saw that there was nothing, but there was another door and the rustling was heard louder in their.

So with slingshot ready he walk to the door and saw that there was a name on it. He whipped the dust away with his hand and saw in black bold letters 'Generator Room. Engineer and Employes Only'

'' There you are!'' Dante said as he push the door open and when dust came out he coughed and waved it away. After doing that and whipping his eyes he saw the old generator that was covered in dust and webs. It was a very old one with it only being as big as half the room height which was tall and was rusty with some metal falling off making the noise. He saw the plugs and wires all connected to it and going everywhere in the ceiling and walls making this place work even though it was almost out of oil

'' Poor thing, I bet you been waiting for someone to turn you on?'' Dante said walking up to it and when he touched it he thought he heard something. He turned and saw that there was nothing and put his hand back on it and heard something again. He pulled his hand away and turned and saw that no one was here and that the others was still in the factory area, if the talking he heard from them proved that. So still looking at the door he put his hand back on and that's when he heard it again.

'' That was you wasn't it.'' Dante asked the machine and then he felt an response as it said yes.

'' So I can talk to machines now? I guess another superpower. Hey wait a minute do you want me to fix you with a new upgrade?'' Dante asked the machine turning to the machine and when it sputtered and rustled some more and Dante 'heard' it say yes.

'' Okay here I go, but it may not work so are still with me?'' Dante asked it knowing that he thought it could work and if this was successful then his plans he thought of with his metal powers will have to work. Dante 'heard' it say yes and that it was willing to take the risk.

'' Here goes nothing!'' Dante exclaimed as he put both his hands on the old generator feeling the dust and rustiness and concentrated. He closed his eyes as he pictured the generator and focused on his metal powers. Dante arms became the silver metal as he focused his powers to go inside the machine. His hands change to liquid metal as they went inside the machine and Dante 'saw' everything, the mechanic structure, the gears, everything. Dante then got out of excitement knowing that this generator was depending on him.

He set out to work by seeing if he can add his metal to the rusty old gears and was a little surprise that it did and became a whole new gear that was clean and functioning. Dante smiled as he added the liquid metal to everything making it new and better than ever. He soon reached the 'heart' or where the gas goes to power this thing, so with a smirk he started experimenting and was able to, in twenty minutes, change it to an electric powered one. How he did it, we'll it was just luck.

Thirty minutes later he was done and he opened his eyes to see a completely new generator. It still had all the wires and stuff and the dials was still in place, but he'll change that later. He saw that now besides being rusty and worn out it looked as good as new with silver shining metal and a hard shell when he tapped it. Dante looked at it and saw that it was dark, and he remembered that he had to turn it off when he reached the heart so that no problems would arise.

So with a shaky breath he used his blue electric powers and touched the generator and was please when the lights came on with the generator humming slightly. Dante then heard it say thank you.

'' Your welcome now you try getting acquainted with your new self while I go.'' Dante said leaving and shutting the door behind him. He turned around and he saw an clean counter with no dust in sight and the store was entirely clean with the shelves emptied of the old worn out gags.

'' Hey Dante you found the generator yet? The lights was out for a long time and we couldn't find you.'' Techlin said pushing open the door and seeing his brother wondering who was making that sound.

'' Yep and I got some practice with my metal powers too.'' Dante added moving behind the counter.

'' Nice. Well lets go we all have some work to do with the machines.'' Techlin said going through the door with Dante following. Dante saw that they was hard at work. All the machines was next or under the office area having been stacked together leaving the side they was on empty. The whole factory was clean as if it was never abandon in the first place, the only evidence being the broken and cracked windows. The Eds was not in sight and when he heard Techlin's light whistling his instincts went on high as he jumped out of the way right before Ed came down on him with pie in hand and instead of him it smashed on the floor. Eddy came from nowhere with string using his powers as he wrapped it around Dante who was caught by surprise.

Edd came out of nowhere with a pie in hand and was about to smash it to Dante's face until Dante smirked. He was able to easily untie himself and slingshot a smoke bomb on the ground covering their vision. With yells of a struggle from all of the boys it then became quiet as the smoke cleared to show the Eds and Techlin all tied up together with the string Eddy was using and they all had pie on their faces.

'' How we get tied up?'' Eddy asked struggling to get loose and since his feet couldn't touch the ground he couldn't run, Ed had his fingers tied up multiple times, but it was comfortable. Edd hands was like that too and Techlin was tied up just like the others.

' Damn I thought that plan was fool proof.' Techlin thought thinking that Edd idea would have worked.

'' I can't believe it, I plan everything on that plan when did we mess up?'' Edd ask the others who shrugged while Ed was licking the pie of his face.

'' Are you guys gonna finish that?'' Ed asked pointing to their pie covered face.

'' Wow I can't believe you guys tried that again and failed!'' Dante said bursting with laughter.'' You guys know who your messing with! The Escape Artisto, the Trickster, the Techno Trickster, the Purple Fox! All that and more so it was just destined for you all to fail!'' Dante, by this time was playing with his lightning and metal powers trying to make something.

'' Yeah yeah lets us go.'' Techlin said not liking being tied up. Dante did so and they was soon free with them making them rub where they was tied up at to get some feeling back into them.

'' So that was our fourth one.'' Edd said marking it down in a small notepad with the others nodding knowing that this was fourth failed attempt to prank Dante.

'' Well whatever, come on we still got work to do.'' Eddy said running to the pile of machinery. The others following. Dante got on his goggles and got out his tool box from his satchel. They all turned to him as it was his turn to lead.

'' Okay I need Ed to get the things that are heavy and high up, Eddy I'll need you to melt some metal so be ready with that fire, Edd you can help by drawing some schematics for how it should go, and Techlin get your blades ready I'll need to have some of these cut up. Okay lets do this!'' Dante said getting to work with the rest as Ed floated down the first of the machinery which was an assembly line and they set out to work.

A Few Hours Later: 5:49 P.M

Edd closed the door behind him and put the chain back around it with him locking the lock. He pulled it a little to make sure it was secure and was glad it was. He put the key in his pocket so that they could get in tomorrow. Edd turned around too see the other four waiting for him.

'' Well I locked the door and I'll be the keeper of the key.'' Double D said patting his pocket as he said it with the others nodding in agreement knowing that with them it was destined to be lost.

'' Now lets go back to the Retro-Van.'' Techlin said grabbing on to Eddy and soon everyone was in the same line they was before.

'' All passengers aboard?'' Eddy asked looking over his shoulder and seeing everyone nod he then shot off heading strait for the Junkyard and was glad that Ed made that giant hole in the fence.

5 Min. Later

Eddy slid to a stop in front of the Retro-Van, with some dust flying as he did. Techlin let go and fixed his hair which was a little dirty from the ride here. The rest did so as well with them also dusting off there clothes. Ed looked up in the sky and saw it change to an yellow color showing that soon the sun will be gone and night will come.

As Ed look the others went to the Retro-Van at their spots and when they was comfortable they sighed feeling relaxed and glad that no one knew of this place since quite frankly they was tired. They was able to get a lot done, but there was still more work to do. They had been using their powers all afternoon and the aftermath was them being exhausted. Dante was able to build some dummies that they could practice on, but first they wanted to finish taking doing all that as training.

Techlin got better with his sword power as he was able to make them come out faster and they looked sharper so he concluded that the sharper his blade the better he was, he also figured the more easy it was to make ice and how cold it was as improvement to the ice powers. Eddy gotten better with fire as he needed to control his heat to melt it like Dante asked and after a few metal scraps he was able to somewhat get it under control.

Ed gotten better since he kept moving things with his powers and some was heavier than the last, but he was able to manage. Edd didn't improve much as since his abilities wasn't that needed as his brain was, but he kept disappearing and reappearing saying that the faster he did it the better. Dante metal manipulation was great as the old metal became new and functioning one and he was able to build a cannon that was like the ones that shot out tennis balls and baseballs, but bigger and stronger.

All this was powered by a electric generator that he still couldn't figure out how it did it. But right now he didn't want to think about it since he was exhausted from working so much. Ed came and sat on the ground with him also as tired as them.

'' Well gentlemen I must say that today was a success with some new things happening.'' Double D said.

'' Yep we got superpowers.'' Ed said with a smile from everyone at that.

'' A new spot that is all ours and where we can train.'' Eddy said adding on to the list.

'' Some money in the end.'' Techlin added patting his money in his pocket.

'' And we exhausted ourselves getting stronger.'' Dante added to the chain.

'' All in one day I wonder how our lives we'll be like from now on?'' Eddy said thinking of what he can do with his powers.

'' Only time will tell.'' Ed said the old saying as he lay down on the ground. They soon started talking about somethings that came to their head as their bodies rest. Unaware that someone was watching them.

In the air

A small robotic camera that was floating in the air over the Eds and co. and zoomed in on them as they converse with each other about things.

'' Robot return to me I need to analyze the footage so I can see how to approach these fine specimens.'' A voice with good English, but with a Russian accent, said to the robot and it turned to north and in a blink of a eye it was gone.

Back with the Five 1 Hour Later 6:56 P.M

The five best friends are walking on the sidewalk to their meeting corner where they will split up for the day which was coming to a close with the sun at the horizon painting the sky with a beautiful shade of yellow and red.

When one was to look at them they might be talking about something that normal teen boys would talk about, but if one was to listen closely they might think the kids need to grow up or that they are crazy.

''… and that's how we got our powers, I think.'' Double D finished his explanation to the boys of how they got their powers. Edd thought that the powers was given too them by their traits and personalities.

He guessed that their powers could have been any superpower if they had different personalities.

Techlin was given the powers of ice and blade as he loved the cold and was at least a pro snowboarder and that he was also a master in fighting with blades of any size and shape. Ed got his for his way of disturbing the Laws of Nature and since zero point energy can defy the Law of Gravity they pretty much got the idea and his regeneration/super healing is because of his endurance. Himself was the cause of him being a little shy in somethings in the past and present and his force field powers was cause of his changes over the time as he became quite a force to be reckon with. Eddy was way to easy as his hot headed temper is the reason for his power over flames and his speed was cause of how he always thinks of fast escapes and is always on the move to do a scam after scam. Dante was since he was a trickster and unpredictable like lightning and the metal was his hard dedication to machinery and his inventing ways.

'' I think I understand, so since I'm a pro snowboarder and a master of blades I got my powers the way they are now.'' Techlin said with Double D nodding in full agreement.

'' Yes that what it seems to me, but I'll try to find out if there other ways.'' Edd said scratching his neck as the five of them reach the corner and they was glad that the neighborhood kids was in their houses at this time.

'' Well guys be seeing you tomorrow on our first training session.'' Eddy said with them all about to split up until Double D stopped them. They stop and turned back to Edd who was looking serious.

'' Look I think if it best that I inform you that we still don't know what is going on so I think it might be best if we did some research on 'Heroes of Powers' thing.'' The four thought it as a good idea til he said we.

'' Oh no you don't I not doing anything close to research so count me and Ed out.'' Eddy said walking away knowing that Edd was about to say something about how important it was and blah blah blah Eddy didn't care.

'' Well Double D I guess I can't help.'' Ed said as he walked away going to his house to dinner knowing that his mom was cooking his favorite: mashed potatoes with gravy! Edd sighed had expect Ed and Eddy's lazy attitudes, but just gave it a shot to see if it'll work.

'' Don't worry Edd I'll help you out!'' Dante said putting his arm around Edd's shoulder.

'' Thanks Dante.'' Double D thanked that someone was on his side on this.

'' Come on Dante me and you need to go home. You and Double D can start tomorrow!'' Techlin called out having starting walking home.

'' Coming! See ya Double D.'' Dante said his goodbye as he caught up to his brother.

'' So long!'' Edd said waving his hands at the two who waved back. The street light came on over him as the sun set was gone and with night here. So deciding to get out of the darkness he went straight home.

With Eddy. 7:30P.M

Eddy was sitting at the table eating steamed vegetables for dinner with his parents. Eddy's father was a big man that looked like an older Eddy with the same hairstyle and everything. He wore am white work shirt and gray pants and work shoes since he was an accountant working at Double D's parents company.

His mom was a slightly fat woman with an red polka dot dress on. She wore high hells and she had a beautiful face that can get any man she wanted, but somehow chose Eddy's dad. She was wearing lip stick and had on pearl ear rings. She always ate politely and sometimes quite which made Eddy want to believe that she wasn't that harsh, but when she wanted something done in this house she can be real...aggressive. Yeah. That's the word. She worked as a beauty products sales woman and she was quite good at it too.

Eddy knew that they was trying to lose weight with mom having lost a lot of it over the Five Year Diet Plan she set up for the whole family. His dad lost little as he ate her veggies up, but yet he always found a way to sneak in something fat in the house

'' So Eddy I got a call from the school...again.'' His dad began starting a very common conversation with his son.

'' Yeah what they say?'' Eddy asked bored and playing with his vegetables by rolling some of it around a little and eating it.

'' They said that you and your friends did another scam today. And they found almost the whole student body frozen or knocked out by something electric.'' His dad said leaning back in his chair that was about ready to break, but still held on.

'' Come on I'm sure it was just a misunderstanding and except it was in self-defense.'' Eddy's mom said defending Eddy and knowing that it was really in self-defense since the students was trying to harm him and his friends.

'' You know I'm not going to be doing this tonight so I'm just going to go to work since I have some work left to do and all that.'' Eddy's father scoot the chair back and got up with the chair coming back up with a few creaks.

'' But you used your vacation time, how do you have work?'' Eddy asked his father suspiciously.

'' I'm sure your friend told you that the manager of work died and that he left the company to Lenard. So I was using work days since Lenard decided to start over with the vacation and days off stuff. Plus before we left I had a lot of work left over so now I have to work late night!'' Eddy father explained with a little anger as he wished that he did that work, but he had to ignore it.

'' Okay, but please don't forget the key this time Jack. I almost called the cops thinking you was an robber last time!'' Eddy's mother called out when she heard the door open.

'' I won't Jessica! Bye you two!'' Jack yelled to his family as he closed and lock the door behind him. The mother and son sat and when they heard the car pull out of the drive way they split into smiles.

'' So what was the scam?'' Jessica asked her son interested in what he did this time.

'' Well its not the best, but I thought I go a little more low products so me and the boys...'' Eddy began as he explained how the scam went keeping out and changing the part about the superpowers with his mom interested.

With Ed. 8:00 P.M

Brush, brush, brush, brush, brush and spit.'' Ed said as he brush his teeth and spit the toothpaste in the drain of his sink in the bathroom. He was in his pajamas. Ed then got out the mouthwash and poured it in the cap and put it in his mouth and after super twirling it around in his mouth he spit it out and came out his bathroom turning off the light as he did.

He went in his bed and laid down putting the blankets over him as he lay on his head on the pillow. Ed though couldn't sleep since he was too hyped up about his superpowers as he looked at the ceiling. He was a little worried about lying to his mom since she wanted to know everything of what he did today, but he was able to babble about something he forgot.

Ed was also worried that his sister was gonna tell on him, but was surprise when she didn't and instead she looked scared of him having sat farther away from him at dinner than usual. Ed didn't like that feeling amd decided that tomorrow he'll see what made her so scared and as long as she doesn't run and tell things might work out.

Ed yawned feeling his sleepiness catching up to him and he went to sleep the next minute having dreams of being a superhero with his friends.

With Edd 7:00 P.M

Double D entered his home with his key and once inside he closed and locked it. He turned and expected to see no one, but then he smelled something delicious in the kitchen as he followed the delighting smell he entered the kitchen to see that his mother was cooking dinner.

He almost forgot about how much mom was a good cook and he couldn't wait to try it.'' Mother what are you cooking?'' Double D asked as he walked towards his mother who jump and turned to only see her son.

'' Eddward please don't scare me like that again.'' Carly said to her son who chuckled.'' And if you must know then I'm cooking meatloaf, steamed vegetables and mashed potatoes.'' Her answer was receive with a lick of lips as Double D knew that tonight will be a good dinner.

'' Where's father?'' Edd asked having not seen him.

'' Oh hes up stairs working on some old ship in a bottle he was never able to finish or something.'' Carly said as she saw Eddward nod in thanks for the info and left to see what his father is working on, haven't seen a ship in a bottle here since the time Ed got the Kanker's stuck on his finger.

He shivered knowing that Kevin and Sarah told everyone of how they was the cause of the Kankers going on a rampage.' We needed to hide for a whole week before they cooled down.' Edd thought remembering that.

Edd reached the top of the stairs and walked to his parent's room where his father was working on his ship in a bottle. Lenard was focused on his work as he moved another tiny piece inside the bottle and attached it to the ship. Lenard heard the door to his room open and turned to see Eddward at the door.

'' Hello father how is your ship in a bottle going.'' Edd asked his father rather curious haven't not known his father had one of those.

'' Its going fine and I guess your mother told you of this little hobby of mine.'' Lenard said as he continued to work on it.

'' Yes though I'm curious. What made you want to start this hobby and how long have you been working on it?'' Edd asked wanting to know a little more about his father.

'' Well Eddward to tell you the truth I started when I was just your age...'' His father told the origin of the story with Edd sitting next to him.

With the Brothers 7:02 P.M

The two brothers silently walked down the sidewalk as they're house cam into view was when Dante broke the silence.

'' So are staying at Callie's or is she still mad at you?'' Dante said walking a head of his brother and walking backwards.

'' Yeah I'm staying at our house. She seemed to be over her mood swing problem.'' Techlin said knowing that when that happen it must have been building up for some reason.

'' Well don't start talking about yours and Callie's pregnancy problems. I hear enough from mom and dad.'' Dante said.

'' Hey if it wasn't for me you be in this marriage problem.'' Techlin said and smiled when Dante tripped on his feet and landed on the ground.

'' I know and if I hadn't said no I would be the one with a hot wife.'' Dante said getting up and dusting himself off knowing that if he just saw her, he would have said yes.

'' My wife your talking about so watch yourself.'' Techlin jokingly said as he walked past Dante.

'' Oh ha ha, I'll see you in the morning.'' Dante said as he walked past Techlin and through their yard and with a back hand wave he opened the door and closed it behind him. Techlin chuckled at his brother ways knowing that he got ticked off by that remark. Techlin continued walking and three houses later he was at Callie and his place.

It was a orange and red colored house with two floors and the door was a wooden one with a metal ringed hole that let you peep so that you can see who is at the door. Techlin walked up the little steps fish out his key and opened the door, closing it behind him. The inside was with brown colored walls with some paintings and pictures on the wall with the upstairs leading to his and Callie's room and the guests room and also the baby room. It looked a lot like his parent's house in the inside, but with different color.

The kitchen was downstairs right to the door and the living room was left of the door. If you go into the kitchen you'll see two small hallways with one leading to the garage or the backyard. Techlin took off his shoes and put them next to Callie's on the rug floor with his socks leaving him barefoot

'' Callie I'm home!'' Techlin exclaimed as he walked up the stairs heading for Callie's and his room. When he got close he heard water running in the door next to his bedroom door and guessed that Callie was in the shower and couldn't hear him. Techlin entered the room and and flopped down on the bed with a sigh liking how it was so comfortable.

The room was like any normal married couples room. There was two small dressers on either side of the bed with one lamp on each with the right one having an alarm clock. There was an dresser next to the door that held Callie's make up and an oval shape mirror. There was an window right of the window. The floor was also carpet. The bed that Techlin was laying on was big enough to fit two people and the sheets was a blue color with the cover on it a dark red dotted and brown cover.

Techlin heard the water stop in the bathroom and guessed that Callie was done in the shower and when the door opened and closed was enough proof of that.'' I thought I heard you come in.'' Callie said as Techlin looked at her.

She just got out the shower and was in her black night gown. Since Callie was five months pregnant she needed to start wearing it to help her and the baby sleep more comfortable. She walked over and sat on the bed laying down on the it as she stared at Techlin.

'' So are you gonna tell me what happened?'' Callie asked him still wanting to know why he was covered in that gray stuff. Techlin may have looked alright but inside he was cursing himself haven't not came up with one, but then he thought of a distraction.

'' I love to tell you, but after I get out of the shower. I kinda stink'' Techlin said getting up and walking to the door leaving a pouting Callie who crossed her arms under her chest. Techlin went into the bathroom and sighed as he leaned on the closed door. The bathroom was a white tile floor with a sink with two toothbrushes on it in a holder and a medicine cabinet over head behind a mirror and a wooden cabinet under the sink. There was a toilet next to the bath tub which was veiled in a light orange shower curtain.

The floor was slightly wet due to Callie taking a shower and the smell of it was still in the air. Techlin was too busy thinking of a lie to Callie to notice and when he did he saw that he did need a shower. So making the lie true he took of his clothes off and turned on the shower putting his hand where the water was shooting at and tested it warmth which was nice.

He stepped into the shower and sighed as the warm water hit him relaxing him somewhat.

1 Hour Later

Techlin opened the shower curtains and step out the shower turning it off and wrapping the towel around him. He saw his pj's on the toilet and on them was a note. He picked it up and saw that it was from Callie.

'' Dear Techlin I just wanted to tell you that I made dinner early while you were gone and my cravings got to me so I ate yours too. I made you a sandwich in the fridge. Love, Callie. P.S I got your pajamas for tonight.'' Techlin put down the note with a little smile. Callie was a little stubborn since she got pregnant as he said that he would do the cooking from now on. But sometimes she'll do it despite him saying he will.

Techlin shrug having got used to it a little while ago and put on his cloths. It was a gray shirt and a dark and light blue striped pajama pants with some underwear. After he got his stuff on he walked out and head for the kitchen and ate the sandwich that she made for him which was a ham sandwich. Techlin walked up the stairs to the room, but stopped next to the door left to the his bedroom door.

He opened it and saw what was inside. There was a white cradle with the lullaby singer over head with the sun, moon and stars that when turned on will spin and sing lullabies. It was a blue painted room that had white fluffy clouds painted on it. There was an window next to the cradle that had white curtains draped over the window. There was an chest full of toys next to the cradle as well with stuffed animals around the chest.

This was obviously the baby room. Techlin looked at it and smiled a little knowing that in four months his son or daughter will be sleeping here. Techlin hard a cough and looked behind him and saw Callie at the door.

'' You know I told you not to come in here.'' Callie said. Techlin sheepishly smiled completely forgetting that Callie said she wasn't done in here and wanted to show him as a surprise when she became eight months pregnant.

'' I couldn't help it!'' Techlin said defending his reasons as Callie sighed.

'' Well come on it time for bed.'' Callie said walking out of the room and into the bedroom. Techlin looked around one more time before he left and closed the door behind him. He went into the room and saw that Callie was under the cover all ready to go to bed. He walked up and went under the cover as well and turning off the light as he did.

Callie turned over to look at Techlin and he did so as well.'' Techlin I'm sorry.'' Callie said as she looked sadden. Techlin was surprise by that and moved closer to her.

'' Sorry for what. I don't remember you doing anything.'' Techlin said not knowing what she was apologizing for.

'' You know... about last night.'' Callie said as she looked down and it clicked in Techlin's head of what she was talking about.

'' Oh! That? Well I already forgave you. It was your hormones doing that.'' Techlin explained as he came closer to her and made her look up at him.

'' But I kicked you out the house!'' Callie said wondering why he was so okay with that.

'' Okay maybe it was a little extreme but don't worry your pretty little head about it okay.'' Techlin assured her as he came in arms length and hugged her to him.

'' Okay.'' Callie said feeling a little better. As in sensing her guilt Techlin cupped her chin in his hand, moved it to face him and gave Callie a kiss. It quick kiss that told the older woman that he forgave her.

'' Now are you better?'' Techlin asked with a smirk as he saw Callie's blush.

'' Yep!'' Callie exclaimed as she rested her head on his shoulder with a sigh. Techlin put his arm around her waist and pulled her as close as her belly would allow.

'' Goodnight. I love you.'' Callie said snuggling a little more into Techlin.

'' Love you too.'' Techlin said as she closed his eyes and soon with into dream land a little glad that Callie forgot about her question for him. Callie lay there in her husband arms a little more and she smiled knowing that despite being young Techlin was a good husband.

' And will soon be a good daddy.' And with that thought Callie went to sleep, dreaming of her soon to be family.

With Edd after Dinner 8:39 P.M

Edd climbed into bed with a very happy smile. He was happy that his parents and him had actually had a normal dinner as a family again. Eddward found out a lot more about his parents and was surprise when his father said he wanted to be sailor when he was little, which made him start the ship in the bottle. He knew of his mother's cooking, but tonight was just the best he had in years. His thoughts then moved to his friends and today's happenings.

' I hope that everything works out with our powers. Cause like the old saying goes 'With great power, comes great responsibility.'.' Edd thought as he looked at his ceiling.' I wonder if there is other kids or people out there that are just like us, but with different powers.'

Double D sighed deciding that tomorrow he and his friends will find out tomorrow.

With Eddy After Dinner 8:24 P.M

Eddy spit out the mouthwash in his mouth into the sink and put the cap back on the bottle. He walked out the bathroom and turned off the lights with a yawn feeling tiredness coming over him. Eddy and his mother was talking about the scam and she was a little impressed by it. She pointed out the flaws and made Eddy take notes as to improve his scams a little more.

Everyone knew that Eddy got his scamming ways from his mother just like his older brother did. Some say that as long as one of them is scamming then some, if not, the whole family will be too. After the talk they finished dinner and went to get ready for bed. His mom was fast asleep since dad didn't take the comfortable spot on their bed. Eddy himself just got done with the night essentials and was just on his way to his bed.

Eddy sat in his bed knowing that he was tired, but yet didn't want to sleep. Believe it or not Eddy was kinda scared that last night's event will happen again and he didn't want to burn up like that. Eddy sighed snapping his fingers and making the fire appear, but this time it was a normal orange color instead of blue. He did get better at controlling the heat of the flame and all he had to do was focus and if he didn't then the fire's heat will go up.

Eddy disperse the flame as he turned on his bed staring at the ceiling, feeling the sleepiness consume him as he closed his eyes with a final thought.' It better not happen again tonight or I'll find and kill that lady!' And with that he was out like a light.

With Dante 10:23 P.M

Dante was on his purple graffiti decal dell laptop in his and, still Techlin's room, on his bed in his pajamas. He was trying to find information about what was happening to him and his friends, but he couldn't find anything of interest. Dante typed in 'Heroes of Powers' and he was surprise to find over millions of links related to his search.

'' Its going to take a while for me and Double D, but since I'm tired I'll tell him in the morning.'' Dante said closing the laptop with a yawn as he fell back on his bed, his head landing perfectly on his pillow. Just as he was about to go to sleep he muttered one last thing.

'' Our lives are gonna be more fun.'' And he slept having a nice dream about how he'll one day hack an national government website.

A Week Later 12:13 P.M( Afternoon) Peach Creek Junior High

Its been an entire week since the day the five found out about their powers and it was an... interesting week for all. The five Heroes of Powers have been practicing with their powers improving by leaps and bounds as they gained more control of their powers. The students of the school didn't approach them for two days and on the third they was looking for them with questions that they wanted answers to, but each time they always slip away.

Kevin almost had Edd, but when he turned the corner he was gone as if he just vanished into thin air. Jonny and Rolf, sometimes with Kevin, would go and look for Eddy with Kevin hearing about how fast Eddy ran away from the two. And again it was like Eddy was there and he wasn't as he just walked past them when they turned a corner and then they looked back and he was gone with wind blowing against them. True to Edd's prediction, Sarah and Jimmy did tell a few of what occurred with Ed and soon it was all over school with Sarah and Jimmy also avoiding Ed who was trying to find out why they was so scared of him all of the sudden.

The two brothers had it worse since more students was chasing them and it was a little more challenging to hide. Techlin and Dante used the air vents as their way of hiding as since the hallway was off limits with too many close calls. Even though they could avoid the students in the halls and at free time they couldn't avoid them in class.

The five all felt them. The eyes of the students staring behind their backs as too see, if even a little, of what happened on January twenty-fifth. Soon everyone of the student body was out to look for them. It was lunch time and the five was doing what they can to avoid the students while also doing what they wanted to do and that was limited.

On the Roof

Eddy and Ed was on the roof eating lunch and laughing as they tossed food into the teachers parking lot with the food landing near or on the teachers cars, with food almost every where in the parking lot. Ed threw them into the air using his powers making them go way up and when he think he got the aim right, he let them drop back down to end up on a teacher's car with Eddy keeping score on a small white board that had his and Eddy's name on with forty points for Eddy and thirty-five for Ed.

'' That's another ten points Ed!'' Eddy said moving to grab a chicken leg since it was his turn. He took a bite out of it and chewed and swallow as he used his speed in his arms to launch it up into the air really really really high.

'' I think its lost Eddy.'' Ed said as he and Eddy stare up into the sky waiting to see if it will ever come down.

'' Yeah like your head.'' Eddy said as he looked up and then, when he squinted his eyes, was when he saw the chicken come down like a meteor from space with fire around it with smoke trailing behind it.

'' Eddy look its the Spacemen here to destroy us all! But fear not Super Ed will save the day!'' Ed exclaimed as he activated his powers and moved it to catch, what he thought it was, the spacecraft. His powers have improved a lot over the week with him able to reach further and lift things much heavier than him. One time for training he lifted five of the old delivery trucks from the factory at the same time.

Ed was able to get it but the speed it was coming down almost made him drop his powers, but he used this as his advantage as he let it drop and when it was close he turned changing the direction of the 'spacecraft' and when he felt it he turned with a grunt as he launched it away and into the distance sending it back up into the sky and further away. Soon a tiny mushroom cloud came up in the distance showing that it landed.

'' Ed you idiot! It had to land on one of the teacher's cars and you cheated by changing the course! You lose ten points for that!'' Eddy said as he got the board and erased the forty-five and change it back to thirty-five.

'' But Eddy it was a spacecraft!'' Ed cried out as he defended his cheating and wanting to get back his ten points.

'' But nothing, and since its your turn I'm taking it!'' Eddy said as he grabbed another chicken leg and threw it in the air, without his speed and when he heard the grass breaking of a car and the car alarm going off was when Eddy's smirk and Ed's frown went into fear and panic.

'' Ed quick get all the food and eat it!'' Eddy said turning to Ed to see him already eat the lunch and the trays as well.'' Hey leave some from me!'' Eddy cried out as he went and snatched up a apple and banana and put them in his pockets to eat later. He looked up and saw that Ed had eaten all the food and the six trays they took.

'' Now lets scram!'' Ed exclaimed as he ran to the exit and opened it, Eddy zooming past him with his speed closing the door and slamming Ed finger in the door with an audible crack. Ed pulled out his fingers to see them all broken up and bloody til they snapped back together and the cuts sealed up and, after seeing that they was fix and operational, he open the door and closed it behind him. Running down the stairs to class with Eddy already there.

With Edd and Dante: School's library

The two geniuses was on the computers doing some more research of what was happening to them. Over the entire week they had been researching about 'Heroes of Powers' and they had many results with none that was relating to them to the least. They looked from website to website and yet they still found nothing of interest.

'' Found anything yet Double D?'' Dante asked looking over the wooden wall that separated the computers for student's privacy.

'' Not a thing of interest. You?'' Edd gave his answer and asked his question.

'' Nope.'' Dante said with a frown as he went back to searching. Edd sighed as he looked back at the screen and scroll down the search results and then he saw it.

'' Heroes of Powers Academy?'' Edd muttered as he read the link and, interested, he clicked on it and up popped the website. The first he saw was the school's logo which was H.P.A with 'H being white, 'P' being yellow, 'A' being blue with a shield stripped in the colors next to it with a cape hanging off.

' Probably the school's colors.' Double D figured and scrolled down and came upon a picture of a man in his mid-forties and had black ruffled hair. His eyes was two different colors, showing that he has Heterochromia iridium, his right eye was blue and his left eye was green. This was all the pictured showed since it was a up-close picture and showed only his face. Edd looked over the picture and saw that it was Headmaster and under the picture it read Vladimir Makarov and Edd suddenly got a bad feeling from this man, even if it was a picture. He shrugged it off as a him being tired from looking at a screen all day and/or the bad lunch he had and returned his attention to computer

Edd thought of it and guessed that the man was Russian if his last name had a say in it. Edd read on and saw of how he started the school and that it was for the people that gained special abilities that usually happens at night and how he works to help them control it to do good and try to live normal lives.

Edd was know completely focused on this as he read on and saw that it fit perfectly with their situation. So deciding to act quick he printed the page and when it was done he ran back to the computer after giving the ten cents needed to pay for printing to the library lady with the papers in hand.

'' Dante! I think I found what we been looking for!'' Edd said in an excited whisper as he ran up to Dante. Said boy turned around and saw Edd's happy smile and when his brain caught what he said he snatched the papers away and started to scan the papers and a smile broke out on his face.

'' Man this is it! The thing we been looking for all week! Is there any more info on this school?'' Dante asked excited that their joint search was finally over and that they had a way to control their powers.

'' There's a website filled with information and links so I think we should see more about this school in seconds!'' Double D said excitedly as he, and when Dante got the sites name continued to see what was up with this Heroes of Powers Academy. But wen Dante went to the website he also got a bad feeling once he saw the picture of the man, like as if the guy couldn't be trusted or something. He shrugged it off thinking that it was just the man's creeping eyes doing it.

The two was unaware of a few students listening in on their conversation who was curious of what the five was up to. No more so than two little kids that was behind the book cases next to the computers. Sarah and Jimmy pulled out the books that was in front of them to try and see what the two was up to.

'' You see anything Jimmy?'' Sarah asked as she tried to get a look, but Dante was blocking the view of the website.

'' No I can't Sarah, Double D blocking the screen.'' Jimmy replied to Sarah as he tried to see what was on the computer.

'' Damn it! Come on lets go tell Kevin this.'' Sarah said as she and Jimmy put the books away and left quickly, hoping that the two didn't see or heard them. Unaware that one tiny spider was hanging on a silver web and blue eyes. The thing different was that it was silver. The silver spider went back up the web retracting it into itself and went to report back to his creator.

With Techlin. School's Sports Equipment Room.

Techlin was in the dark sports room behind the basketball container next to the door on the phone talking to someone he was giving support too.'' Come on Callie it just for a while.''

'' But what if I'm not that good at it?'' Callie voice said though the phone sounding nervous.

'' I'm sure you'll do fine except there others there and you can make some friends that you can talk too and whatever you and you pregnant women do.'' Techlin said knowing that Callie was worried about how this might go.

'' But I still don't want to go and why did you want me to join this class anyway?'' Callie asked not remembering why she signed up for this.

'' Cause I'm sure yoga will be perfect for you since over the week you seemed stressed out a lot so this may be the chance for you to be more relax.'' Techlin said with a sigh knowing that Callie was sometimes forgetful.

'' Well if your that sure then I'll go, but this better work out or I'll break your arm!'' Callie threaten on the phone as her hormones started going to the anger emotion.'' Sorry.'' She said a few seconds later with her hormones going to the sad state.

'' Its alright,'' Techlin stopped as he heard the school bell ring,'' look I have to go so try to have fun at least and try to relax. Love you.'' Techlin said to her.

'' Love you too. See you at home.'' Callie said as she hung up. Techlin closed his cricket brand phone and put it in his pocket as he stood and stretched his muscles. He moved to the door and sliced the block of ice he put on the door's lock and opened it. He poked his head out and looked side to side and was glad that no one was hear and listening in on the conversation.

He walked out of the room with his backpack on and went to the exit where he entered the hall, then went to his next class. Unaware that Kevin, Rolf, and Jonny coming out of the room he'd was in. The three were in room after playing basketball and when they was about to put the balls away they heard him coming and hid listening to who he was talking too.

'' Who is this Callie that Mystery boy-Techlin was talking to?'' Rolf asked his two companions of the current mystery of Techlin who they never really knew much of.

'' I don't know, but Plank said that the person was his wife.'' Jonny said speaking Plank's opinion not knowing how right Plank was.

'' No Techlin's too young to be married so that must mean it some girlfriend at another school, but he said pregnancy so that either means shes pregnant so maybe older.'' Kevin said scratching his head as he thought of who the mystery girl or woman is, with his head hurting a little.

'' Well lets go before the teacher blow a fuse I can't get a bad grade this semester or I'm off the team.'' Kevin said running with the two other following them deciding to ask the others once they meet up back in the Cul-de-Sac.

With the Five after School at the Factory: 3:43 P.M

Eddy stopped in front of the still broken gate with the other four letting go of him.'' So Double D your saying this, Vladimir, is a guy who is not a Hero yet he tries to help them?'' Techlin questioned as he looked at the papers.

'' Yep it seems to be our only hope, besides the factory, to control our powers to their full extent.'' Edd said.

'' Well as long as we get stronger than I don't care so lets worry about it later, but for now lets practice.'' Eddy said pushing some flowers out of the way as he went through the gate with the others following. Edd came up in front and pulled the key out his pocket and unlocked the door. He pushed it open and Dante point his finger up to the light and shot out some blue electricity and seconds later the lights came on showing their training ground.

The factory inside looked a lot more different from the day they had got here. They split up into four different sections as too not get in each other way and not injure someone. The area they was in was Double D's area as he didn't need much room. He worked in the office and on the floor around it. After getting some wood he replaced the floor since he almost fell to the ground due to how old it was and the next day he and the others fixed it and replaced the floor having used a lot of money.

Under the office was an scene mover that the Eds used for their all around the world in a few minutes scam. After they found it broken down in the Junkyard still, Dante fixed it up with a upgrade and made it connected to a button that virtually changed the back round. Edd will train in his invisibility by changing into a back round as quickly as he could. He was getting better as he was at the speed of change by level three speed, but by four was where it got challenging. He also practiced with a mini-cannon that shot out rocks at him that he had to use his force field powers to deflect them with him receiving no headache thus far. He received headaches from bigger ones if they come out of the cannon

The five soon went separate ways too their own training ground.

Eddy's training field was on the left bottom side and consisted of most of the old assembly lines as Dante made some treadmills and Dante super charged them making them go to almost impossible speeds. All Eddy has to do was run and control his speed so that he won't just be using raw speed. He was on the sixth one that was ninety mph(miles per hour) and the next will go to one hundred-five and will increase by fifteen as he goes. Until he gets the feel of how fast he goes he can't move on. There was a total of thirty treadmills.

His fire was tested out on some metal dummies that Dante made to look like a person, but silver and metal. He will throw a fire at each one controlling how hot his fire is. He needed to see how hot he can make his fire with blue being the hottest being able to burn through anything, but it was second on hotness. Edd gave him a graph of the temperature that he read and memorized with him writing a part for blue since it was a new kind of fire.

Eddy was able to get enough control to the orange color to a deep one that was the degree of 2,000 F. and was working on making it clear where it'll go up by five hundred degrees. Some dummies have burnt marks on them while some have an outline of them on the wall shaping them even if they weren't there.

Ed training area was on the top right of the factory. His was a more simpler way of training. Ed would test out how far he can reach with his Z-P Energy and how much he can carry and after getting some heavy things inside it was easier to say that Ed was the most easiest to improve of the five. Though he still had a lot to learn. Ed will try going outward since he can lift five delivery trucks he wanted to try to lift one using only one finger. He still needed work as he was only able to lift it only a few inches off the ground before the strain came to him, but Ed was determine as he worked harder and harder to do his goal. How they got all this big stuff into the factory they all forgot, but the giant silver metal ringed circle that was left to Ed's training area always made them remember. Techlin cut a giant hole and after it was done Ed lifted the giant slab of bricks and when it was aligned with the wall, Eddy sealed it up with his fire and Dante covering it with metal si that the heat would stay contain and to block out air.

Ed healing abilities didn't need training as all he had to do was get hurt and he'll heal a little more faster than the last and since they still didn't want to hurt their friend they was thinking of another way and is still thinking of one.

Dante and Techlin was the last to take up the factory floor with their joint training area.

Techlin took the half that took the side that bordered Ed's training area. Techlin practiced by making items cold from a distance and up close. He would send of ray of ice to the dummies make them covered in ice with him going further away from the target increasing his accuracy. Techlin been trying to make a ray of ice go from his fingers as to avoid detection and had little success, but he was getting there. He also was working on making his body in case in a armor of ice making it too increase his defense and protect himself. Sure he can make an ice shield or ice wall in front of him, but he wants to do some damage as well so the armor was the next best thing.

At first it was hard as he focused the ice around him and ended up freezing everything around him, but after a few days he was successful in making ice appear over his skin shielding him as he moved, though a lot more slower.

His blades was also a thing he was working on. He would practice by making them appear all over his body always cutting up his shirts, that he somehow kept getting fix the next day. He make some of all sizes and shapes. He cuts them down by size: smaller blades let him go faster and be more precise with his attacks, normal size allows him the edge on enemies and to move less faster than his smaller ones while dealing damage as much as he can, big size would do major damage but was extremely slow. He also needed control on the speed he can summon the blades in. It took time but he was getting faster and faster by the days' passing almost able to bring it out in a flash. Techlin also did some physical work as to see if he can improve his strength when attacking with a blade.

Dante's was a little different as all the training grounds was. Dante will work by building new things for his small technology army putting the silver metal inside them giving them a more silver glint. Dante will try to control them from a distance with his lightning able to turn them on and since he can talk to machines now it only made it more easier for him. His metal manipulation also increased as he changed his metal form into something of use like a blade or something. Dante metal shaping also improve since after five days of hard work he was able to build one of his machines and made it come to life, the toll: time consuming and takes a lot of energy, but he told them that he could manage. He'll next work on his electricity by making it shoot out to a dummy and electrocuting it to a nice crisp. Dante will go faster and more accurate with his shots, but he saw that he still had a lot of work to do.

Dante had dummies set up against the wall with them having holes exactly where some of the main organs was like the heart, lungs, brain, etc etc. He was using his slingshot, but he was changing them to metal pellets making them due much more damage. Dante was on the brink of making new more powerful weaponry for him and he was excited. With the metal his pellets can change form any second before launching meaning he can trick whoever hes aiming at, and when he charged it with some electricity was when the smile can to his face a lot more times.

He also classified it. It turns out that his powers was different. His purple coloring that only came to his left hand was Lightning. His blue coloring was electricity and came in his right hand. Electricity was way more precise than lightning and Lightning was more stronger and fast but less accurate than electricity. He combines them to make a new kind of volt, the orange volt as he called it. It was faster and stronger than lightning and was as precise as electricity. But the first time he used it as a attack it destroyed all his personal dummies and the other dummies was shocked in a line and the lights went off.

They all thought it was best for him to use that after he got a real good grasp of both sides.

They all were at hard work and have gained a lot of strength over the week, but they still need to get stronger in order to take whatever was thrown at them. Its been a long week but it'll be a longer lifetime before they might reach their peak of power and maybe beyond.

They Grow Stronger, But New Enemies Are Even Stronger.
