Chapter 5: The First Adventure Arc: Enemy Revealed and Test #1. Part 1

Cul-da-Sac 8:30 A.M: The Corner

Today was a good morning for five of our residents of the Cul-da-Sacs. For many it was a confuse and questioning type of one. But lets focus on our Heroes. Techlin and Dante, for the first time, was the first at the corner with the brothers becoming confused of the whereabouts of the other three. Sure they would expect Ed or Eddy to be here, but for Double D not to be then there must be something going on.

'' You go to the Ed and Eddy's house and I go to Double D's.'' Techlin said as he started to walk to Edd's house with Dante going to Eddy's house first as it was closest.

Techlin

Techlin walked on the pathway to the front door of one Eddward Marion Ryain. At first Techlin thought that Ryain was a familiar name, even before he knew Edd's last name. Something really made his brain say ' oh I remember that name' when he heard it for the first time and he swore that his parents told him something about it. Techlin shook his thoughts away as he knocked on the door.

' One mystery at a time.' Techlin thought as the door opened showing Double D's mom.

'' Oh who are you?'' Carly asked the young man.

'' I'm Techlin, Edd's best friend and I'm here to see wheres he at.'' Techlin said thinking it best not to mention Edd's nickname. The woman nodded.

'' Oh so your the Techlin Gates my son told me about well come in, I'm sure hes upstairs.'' Double D's mother said moving out the way to let Techlin in.' And the one part of the Twelve Family Tradition.' She thought

'' I know the way.'' Techlin said as he started walking up the stair.

'' Okay, but don't rush him,he had a accident in gym class yesterday!'' The blond woman said as she moved to the kitchen as too clean up breakfast

' So that was his excuse.' Techlin thought as he made his way to Double D's room. He heard grunting as though it was a struggle inside and Techlin quickly opened the door to see Edd struggling to put on his blue Pi symbol shirt.

'' Need some help pal?'' Techlin said smirking as Edd jumped landing on the hard floor.

'' Techlin is that you?'' Edd said as he tried getting up with Techlin coming and helping him up instead.

'' The one and only.'' Techlin answered.

'' Oh good I can use your assistance here with my predicament as I can't get my arm through.'' Edd said as he poked his head through the hole.

'' Why didn't you ask your mom?'' Techlin asked.

'' Well mother is already worried about me and I thought that this simple task could be done alone.'' Edd replied as he got his other arm through the sleeve leaving his cast one under his shirt.

'' Well just hold still cause you gonna fell a lot of pain right about...now!'' Techlin said as he pulled Double D's arm through the small hole. Edd cried out in pain at that as held his arm shooting a glare at Techlin.

'' I said your going to be in pain! Don't blame me.'' Techlin said shooting his hands in the air.

'' Well whatever now get my backpack and we'll go.'' Double D said knowing he had good intentions for the pain.

Techlin got the book bag that was on the bed and putting it around Edd's shoulders with him able to easily squeeze him arm through the loop. Techlin made sure it was on and opened the door for the boy. As they went out to the hallway they saw Edd's mom running up with a First-Aid kit.

'' Oh Eddward I heard you yell in pain so I got the First-Aid! Are you hurt?'' His mom asked checking him all around.

'' I'm fine mother I just got scared by Techlin's surprise visit.'' Edd said as Techlin did surprise him.

'' Are you sure?'' His mom asked.

'' Yes now would you excuse us we need to get the others and head to school.'' Edd said as he and Techlin walked past her.

'' It was nice meeting you Mrs. Ryain.'' Techlin said as he followed Ed. The protective mother followed behind with a smile.

'' Well boys be good at school and tell the others I said high. Don't forgot the note to your teacher!'' The mom said to the boys as they left with her closing the door behind them.

'' (Sigh) I never knew that mother can be so protective.'' Double D said as they crossed the street to Eddy's house.

'' Well that's how parents are you know. Besides just like us you'll get used to it.'' Techlin slugging an arm around his shoulders.

'' I suppose.'' Edd said as they went to the backyard of Eddy's house and to his door. They knocked on it and Dante opened it.

'' Dante? What are you doing in Eddy's house?'' Edd questioned.

'' Waiting for the beauty queen to come out of the shower. He was trying to sleep through the school day as his parents left work early.'' Dante said as he jumped on Eddy's bed grabbing a magazine.

The two boys walked in and closed the door as they took a seat on the bed. Tech and Double D heard a perverted giggle and looked to Dante to see him reading a Playboy magazine.'' Where the hell did you get that, you know mom burned your stash of those and told you stay away.''

'' Oh shut up Techlin, besides this is Eddy's magazine. He has a whole stash of these saying that he lost his last bunch from his brother.'' Dante said as he read the magazine, mostly looking at the nude pictures instead. Oh how sexy they looked as this issue had sex pictures of all kind. Pink nipples, the nice pussies. Oh he felt like it was his birthday.

Oh you guys have to see this one!'' Dante exclaimed as jumped between them showing them a image of a three way lesbian sex and two had dildos. Techlin looked away already knowing how real sex feels and will like to use his memories instead of some pictures. Edd covered his eyes. An internal conflict inside as his brain said no and his hormones said yes, and the brain was losing. Edd couldn't take it no more and uncovered his eyes and blushed at the pornographic picture.

How long did Eddy have this magazine?

But before he started to really look Dante pulled it back as he landed on the bed making them bounce a little as he read it for himself.'' I was reading that!'' Edd shouted out with everyone looking at him surprise that he actually said that! To a porn magazine! Even the dressed Eddy who just entered stared at him.

Eddy then came and wrap his arm around his shoulder with a smile of a million bucks on his face.'' Finally my little boy, made it to the dark side!''

'' No I haven't!'' Double D replied as he got off the bed and out of the grinning Eddy's arm.

'' Oh so you wanting to read more of a porn magazine, isn't the signs of it?'' Dante said as he chuckled at Edd's red face.

'' No I just thought of it as a interesting article!'' Edd exclaimed as he tried not to not to think of the picture. The three boys really wanted to laugh and they did as they fell back laughing!

'' Oh the good- boy Ed finally went bad!'' Techlin said as he laughed at his friend who blush only grew.

5 min. Later

The boys was now calming down with the laughing. Ed having coming in not finding the others at the corner waiting. Once he was filled in on what happened he busted out laughing with the four boys having another round of laughter at the sock wearing Ed, who was as read as a tomato.

'' Was it really that funny?'' Edd said as his face refused to change from red.

'' Yeah, but don't worry Double D I know a guy who could get you some Playboys.'' Eddy said chuckling a little.

'' No thank you please! I would not have any of those filthy magazines and in my house hold!'' Edd replied hopping that Eddy would understand.

'' Don't worry I won't, but if you ever do just give uncle Eddy a call okay.'' Eddy said shaping his hand to a phone as he grabbed his backpack and exited his room and house. Dante putting the magazine in his book bag for... safe keeping. As they all left Eddy closed and locked the door behind them. The shortest of the Pack turned to his friends as he grinned a different kind of grin that they knew of.

'' Well boys while I was in the shower I came up with another scam and I swear that we will earn thousands of cash! This plan is so good that it can't fail!'' Eddy exclaimed as he jumped on Ed's head.

'' Oh how your other scam last week made ''thousands'' worked?'' Techlin said looking up at the teen boy as they started there walk to sidewalk.

'' As I said, last week was just a fake. But this one I'm sure it'll work. And its not in the Cul-da-Sac.'' Eddy said as the others gained interest.

'' Is it around the shopping area the candy store is? We did make a lot of money from that place, I remember our first scam there with us as a group.'' Double D said going down memory lane.

'' Nope, we're hitting a city! Wheres everyone is at that haves money and lots of it!'' Eddy said now gaining the attention of the four boys.

'' Okay now I'm really interested. Go on.'' Techlin said as they walked on the sidewalk that leads to the school, with Eddy still on Ed's head.

'' Well its about us being Hero of Powers.'' Eddy whispered with their faces saying that he must be serious about this scam.'' Now I know that we all have powers and have to save the day so in celebration I thought of this scam through the whole week planning out every detail.''

'' Is it saving the day from peril? We all know for a fact that our city isn't exactly crime free.'' Double D said with them knowing that crime happened everyday in their city, luckily there was no crime in their neighborhood yet.

'' Kinda like that.'' Eddy said.'' You see I thought about all of us and what we had to contribute to the group and thought of how we were both heroes and just being normal. Now I thought about me first, I am the leader of our normal group but the other I don't know. I can be both up-close and personal or long-range. My speed also makes me fast a for our getaways from the suckers. My strength is stronger when I use anyone so I prefer close range with second being long-range if I don't want the guy touching me. So I'm the All-Range Fighter* as I classify them or A.R.F .''

'' Now Double D has the talent for being our strategist and the scout if we have to sneak around and stuff. He also has the ability to sneak up behind someone and deliver the final blow at any time. His invisibility makes him a expert at stealth and his force fields just may be his greatest defense and offense. He is our Stealth Base Strategist* or S.B.S. Your almost like an Assassin Double D.'' Eddy commented with the others agreeing knowing that Edd may very well be good at that. Edd blushed knowing that Eddy called Assassin's from that Assassin's Creed game was cool.

( AN- For those wondering, no Edd is not gay.)

'' Ed my friend was a hard one to figure out. So I think being an up-close fighter fighter suits you and also our support. You see I thought ' Hey what if Ed learned from some magic book of how to make his healing abilities go to others.' But we have to find one so yeah lets wait to talk about that later. For now up-close. You can also have range with that Z-P energy stuff by throwing things at them, but with your strength and with that punch you made yesterday I say up-close with you, but you decided. Your our might be Support Damage Dealer* or S.D.D.''

'' Techlin was next. I thought about his and it was easy. His Ice Armor made him nearly invincible with him able to withstand almost anything. Then his blades was also sick as he can make them into anything he can form them with making his clearly a good offense, but also good defense. His ice also great for offense, but is more suited for defense to me but you like offense better. You also help protect everyone so you'll be the Offense-Defense Fighter* or O.D.F.''

'' Now Dante. He is the only one is our Pack that uses long-range the most if his fight with Double D have a say about. But like Ed said that he should worry on close combat. And I know that you can do that easily with your Silver Metal. But your Lightning/electricity makes you unpredictable with us not knowing what you'll do next. You also is an inventor beyond even today's technology. With just a push of a button you have an entire army of tiny robots at your control! This makes you our Long Range Support Fighter or L.R.S.F. I say this because your mechanics can give us support in a fight any time that they are available.'' Eddy said having seemed to finish as he covered all of them.

'' But that was also gave me the idea for the scam. Your robots can record almost anything. So I say we start doing a large production of them give them to the cops for a fee become rich and famous for stopping some crime in the city. As they will be able to tell if their crimes anywhere as they have unnoticeable cameras every where!'' Eddy said getting on to his scam. The group stopped the school right in front of them as they stared at Eddy. Not knowing that he thought like this before.

'' Okay wheres the real Eddy?'' Ed asked not thinking this was his short friend.

'' Oh and whats that suppose to mean?'' Eddy asked looking at Ed with Eddy face being upside down.

'' I knew you got some brains, but for you to be that observant. You must be someone else.'' Techlin said as Eddy looked at him.

'' Oh ha ha. So are you in Dante?'' Eddy said changing the conversation to the scam.

'' I don't think its a good idea Eddy.'' Dante said as he gave some thought to it.

'' What! Oh come on this could be our big break!'' Eddy cried out.

'' Still, I mean the tech that I build is advance. I have things that me and Double D can build that could possibly lead to the next evolution of tech. Oh I know what about we introduce it to the world!'' Dante said giving a idea to the scam.

'' How can we do that? If we put it on the internet then no one would believe us.'' Double D said knowing the internet can hold non-fake and fake info.

'' No not that. You see there's this convention called CES. Its where all this new technology is revealed to the world! And I mean everything new! There also news reporters that give everything on the tech including interviews with the creators of the tech!'' Dante said with more excitement than ever.

'' Wait so they means that if we go on national T.V like this convention then Eddy scam will be more successful?'' Ed said as they continued moving towards the school, Eddy jumping off his head and the others following.

'' Yepamundo. It start this summer on July 10-13 meaning we will have enough time to come up with new things and build them. And with our abilities all of us can have a piece of the work and get it done by the time and if we work hard enough then we can get done early and test them out.'' Dante said as he opened the school entrance for everyone.

'' Now this is the plan of the lifetime! Okay boys clear your schedule cause this successful scam will be our second main priority, next to the other things we do.'' Eddy said with them getting what he meant.

'' But you putting something before importance of your scams, now you must be serious about it.'' Techlin said not believing that he hear those words.

'' I know, I surprised myself too. I think I need to get checked.'' Eddy said touching his wrist seeing that his pulse was normal.

'' Maybe you should.'' Dante said as they went to their lockers that they reached as the first period bell rang.

'' Well okay gentlemen I must head to class.'' Double D said getting his books out his locker and closing it. The others doing so as well.

'' Yeah I have to head to Karate class, I'll tell the teacher you broke your arm and can't come.'' Techlin said as he looked at Edd who nodded in agreement. Techlin then left as well.

'' We have to get to science.'' Double D said hurrying off down the hall, Dante following him

'' See you guys! Come on Lumpy we have Language Arts.'' Eddy said as Ed grabbed on to him and Eddy was off like a bullet and was at class in a heartbeat.

4 Hours Later. 1:30 P.M

Eddy stood in front of the cafeteria door, hearing the other students on the other side. The others was gone doing their own personal thing. Edd was gone to the library saying he'll research some more and his cast was removed as his arm was good enough, Ed said that he was looking for his sister knowing she wouldn't be in the cafeteria somehow, Techlin was gone to his Blade Teaching class, and Dante was in the Gym trying out got for the Tennis ball team.

His heart pounded as his stomach growled. The damn math teacher wanted him to stay after class as to clean the mess he made that took a hour, thus making him miss lunch and now he was hungry. Today was Free Time Tuesday where they would spend three hours of learning then they would have the rest of the school hours to do what they want. Some will either chill or eat in the cafeteria talking about things they would talk about.

Eddy stomach made another grumble much bigger than the last and decided to take the chance as he entered the cafeteria. He looked and saw the many students talking luckily none notice him as the talking out sounded the doors opening. He started walking to the food line grabbing a tray on his way. He looked at the food that was left from lunch period earlier.

Eddy saw that there was some salad with ranch, took that, some meatloaf, mmn took that, some peperoni pizza, took two slices, and finally some cold bottles of water, took that. He looked at his delicious foods on his tray and started walking the end of the table that had no people sat down and started eating his food.

Eddy was already done with the salad and meatloaf in two minutes feeling real hungry and then he started on his pizza, but never got to finish once he notice a familiar shovel chin come up to him and he wasn't happy. Eddy decided to skip the pizza, took the water bottle and put it in his pocket, and started walking away slowly as not to attract attention to himself. But the exit was blocked by Kevin's gym buddies. Eddy knew he could easily take them out, even without his powers. But he and the others promised not to reveal themselves as so to avoid trouble of all kind, but if the situation calls for it them they would have no choice.

Eddy was yanked from his thoughts as he was yanked in the air by his shirt and slammed to the wall. His eyes then met with the eyes of a angry jock.

'' Hey dorky I want my money back!'' Kevin said as he glared at Eddy, the whole lunchroom went quite as they realized that one of the five was here and that he will get a beat down.

'' For what?'' Eddy asked knowing the answer. A punch came to him as it smashed to the wall close to him leaving a fist in the wall.

'' You know for that dumb ass scam of yours with the sandwich.'' Horan said as he stepped up out the crowd and stood next to Kevin who was

'' Oops I already used it. Kevin, fucking your mom was a real treat too, for just five dollars.'' Eddy said with a grin as everyone went 'oohhh'. Kevin then became livid as he was ready to punch the living daylights out of him.

'' Damn no offense man, but he treated you.'' Horan said.

'' Your dead you small piece of shit!'' Kevin said drawing back his fist.

..WHOO.

The alarm that was only used during a drill blared as everyone looked confuse them knowing that there was no schedule drill practices til next week.

" Good afternoon, students, this is your principal speaking. Yes, that was the lock-down alarm, and no, this is not a drill. All classroom doors are to be locked and all students are to remain in their currant locations until otherwise directed. As of now, a group of military personnel are making their rounds in search for five unknown breaches of school security. But no need to worry, of course. If you give them your full cooperation, they will safely escort you out of the building. Yes, that means school ends early for the weekend. I hope you're all happy.''

A cheer broke out from all students over school besides the one being held up against the wall and the person doing so and students who licked school.

''Whatever you do, don't panic. Your safety is priority number one with these men; it's their job, after all. They wouldn't dream of hurting innocent children, so don't use a misfired bullet wound story as an excuse for not doing your homework and projects due on Wednesday. I'm talking to you, Eddy and other trouble making students''

"That is all."

Eddy started to sweat a little at that. He said five unknown breaches of security. There was five of the group, that's why they were called the Pack of Five*. They might be here for them. Unbeknownst to him that his friends already figure it out as well.

'' Wow the military is attacking us, I told you this will happen on day plank.'' Jonny said to his wood pal.

Plus the guy said not to panic, that wasn't what the students did as they did panic.

'' Its you five isn't it?'' Kevin said yelling at Eddy and over the crowd as they stopped screaming and running around to look at the two.

'' Get real shovel chin. Why would they come after us for?'' Eddy asked keeping an act that he didn't know probably why.

'' For you and your freaks as your little friends selling that damn mystery meat in sandwiches, that's why! I bet it was radioactive and you knew it!'' Kevin said.

'' Okay one, their not freaks and two, blame the lunch ladies and men in there for putting that stuff on the menu!'' Eddy said glaring back at him as Eddy punched him in the face Kevin letting go of him.

'' What about what happened last week with the Eds and Nazz's cousins?'' A random girl said.

'' Yeah I mean weird things have been happening all week since then.'' Jonny said as Eddy sent him a heated glare of death to Jonny if he said anymore and the boy was oblivious to it and continued.

'' Me and Plank made a wild guess, but I bet they have superpow-hmmmph!'' Even with his speed Eddy wasn't able to cover Jonny's mouth quick enough. Eddy then felt a about fifty pairs of eyes staring at him. He turned to the crowd around them to see them staring at him with piercing gazes and immediately broke out in a sweat that every caught.

' Took them a week to figure it out, a new record.' Eddy thought as let go of Jonny's mouth and searched for a way

'' I knew it! You freaks are behind it!'' Kevin said as he rushed to Eddy, superpowers or not, he and his friends was getting a beating.

Kevin stopped though as the cafeteria door was kicked open and came in ten men dressed in military outfits with green helmets with black shades on. Their outfits was light-brown and dark-green camouflage. They all had assault rifles and some kids saw a dial next to the trigger.

'' Okay, I want everyone to freeze! We are looking for the Hero and we're not leaving without it so if your here then come out!'' The leading soldier said as he stepped forward aiming his gun to the kids especially the ones making a scene.

With Techlin.

Techlin and the other students froze from their sword swinging practice to hear the announcement and some immediately shot their gaze to Techlin. The room was a normal class room but bigger and had no desks. There was a row of five windows with them all open. On the wall was swords and pictures of past championships won with trophies as well. The walls was right with red on the borders.

The teacher who was a woman in her late forties with brown hair and blue eyes, nice build, and was dressed in normal karate outfit with a black belt. She, like the rest, hold a wooden sword that was in mid strike.

'' Well class I guess our session is over. Wait here til the military comes to escort you. I'm going to see the principle about this.'' The teacher said in a soft voice as she left the classroom.

Everyone then looked to Techlin who looked back at them.'' What?'' Techlin asked hopping that they didn't mean him and his friends on the announcement and that they have made connections.

'' Don't play dumb with us Gates what did you and your friends do?'' Kendal saod as he and the others started to surround Techlin.

'' We didn't do nothing! All because he said five doesn't mean its us.'' Techlin defended knowing that it probably was about them.

'' Yeah fucking right! We know what happened last week! I bet its what you and your friends did to all of us!'' A girl said getting her sword ready to strike him as she was had a cold for three days straight for what he did.

'' Oh come on! Can you people get over that. I'm sure that meat was partially edible.'' Techlin said knowing what they really meant but tried to cover it up.

'' It could be about that too, but what happened after that.'' Kendal as they closed in on him going to beat the secret of how he froze him

They stopped as the door was kicked down and came in about ten men dressed in military outfits and holding guns. They then pointed them to the kids as they all stared at them in shock, fear and surprise.

'' Okay, everyone just cooperate and we can get this done nice and easy.'' A man said in a deep lazy voice as he stepped forward obviously the one leading the men.

He then looked at the kid who was surrounded by the students who started to sweat.

With Dante

Dante and the other students trying out stared at the speaker wondering what was going on. Dante had on his normal clothes minus his jacket and satchel that he sat with the other backpacks at the corner of the gym. He was the first to try out so he didn't have to keep the Tennis clothing on. The teacher who a African-American with black hair and brown sighed as he whipped the sweat off his forehead.

'' Alright y'all, I was able to test you all out and the rosters will be out by tomorrow. Sorry for those who didn't make it and you can try out next year. Now to see what in Sam Hill is going on.'' The teacher announced as he left the gym. As soon as the door closed Dante dodged a tennis ball that was aim from his head that hit the wall and bounced back bouncing off the wood floor til it rolled away.

'' What was that for?'' Dante asked looking at the kids who tried out.

'' Don't play dumb with us Gates! We know you and your dumb friends did something!'' The leading kid said who was Luke as he stepped forward with Nazz by his side who looked at Dante with curiosity instead of hate.

'' Oh you probably mean last week, right? Well I told them that it was unedible so I contacted the government to come and get rid of the mystery meat.'' Dante lied as the others still advanced.

'' Do you think we're stupid? We know that weird things happened last week besides the meat! So just spill and maybe we won't hurt you.'' LaNA said as she cracked her knuckles.

'' Well I thought you will fall for it, but come on guys! We didn't do nothing besides the meat.'' Dante said as he knew what they was really doing here, but hopped that they will leave before they found him or the others.

'' Stop lying or else!'' A boy said as he swung a racket.

'' Or else what?'' Dante challenged with Nazz slapping her forehead thinking that her cousin, despite being as smart as Double D, needed a brain sometimes.

'' Oh that's it!'' The thirteen kids, minus Nazz, charged at him ready to pound him until Nazz appeared between her cousin and them.

'' Wait!'' Nazz yelled as the kids stopped.

'' Get out of the way Nazz! He has to pay for what he did to my girlfriend!'' Luke said.

'' Okay look guys maybe we need to calm down. I mean it happened a week ago can we get over it?'' Nazz questioned.

'' NO!'' They yelled and continued to charge as Nazz hold her hands up to defend herself as Dante came to protect her.

They all stopped as the doors was kicked open by men who were dressed in military outfits and had guns. They pointed the guns at the kids as a woman in the outfit stepped forward. They could tell cause of her big breast giving it away.

'' Alright! Listen up you little punks! We were told one of the Heroes was here and we want him/her so cough em up and we all can have a nice day.'' The woman said in a commanding voice as she pointed her gun at them, especially the cute little boy and his blonde friend.

Dante broke out in a sweat really being both scared and turned on by the woman that was pointing the gun at him.

With Edd.

' Oh dear. I bet their here for us! We can't fight them, then we'll be bad guys if we do! But if we do go then we might never see our friends or families again! Ok Double D calm down I'm sure that they figured it out by now and making plans to escape. I should hurry.' Double D thought panicking.

He printed the page from the computer that had info that he had to show the others. It may be an alternate way for them to learn to control their powers even more. Edd heard the printer come on and Edd closed the website and logged off his account. He made his way to the printer and took the papers checking them to see if there all there and once he saw that they all were he put them in his backpack. He made a quick dash leaving the money on the librarian's desk and rushing through he door.

He ran down the hall and took a right and he crashed into someone as he and her, if her yelp of surprise gave it away, fell on their butts.

'' I'm so sorry, I didn't look where I was going... Marie?'' Edd said as he grew a blush in front of the girl who changed a lot in the years. She became more gentle over the years and more beautiful, not wearing make-up which really shows more of her beauty instead. Her clothes went from black tank top to a normal short-sleeved shirt. And her pants were a green-blue color with her signature pink belt. Her hair was longer and smooth and fell to her mid back and it didn't cover her eye anyone as she prefeard to see from both of them. Adn her black messenger back was on her shoulder. And her voice got more softer as well not speaking with her other, slightly annoying, voice.

She also became more responsible over the years and focused more of her education not wanting to turn out like her mother did. She and Double D have met a year ago in the Library where at first he was scarred of what she would do, but that changed over the next few weeks as they talked a little soon they became friends. Though it was kept secret as Eddy and Ed would over react especially her sisters. Though five days ago her sisters said that they were thru with Ed and Eddy saying that their 'relationship' was over.

They moved away then after with their fathers, their mother not able to support them all at once. Marie was sad that they were gone, but still talked with them from time to time. Her and her mother was getting better in life as well though a little less unhappy with Lee and May gone.

'' Oh hey Double D you heard about the lock down thing, I'm heading to the exit to get out of here wanna come?'' Marie asked as she got up dusting herself off.

'' Um...sure Marie.'' Edd said not wanting to be rude.' Maybe they won't notice as they don't know what we look like, but what if they do? They know of our powers so they must know our identities.' Edd panicked in his thoughts as he looked around for any soldiers.

'' So where the rest of your posse at?'' Marie asked usually seeing him with the other four.

'' Oh um doing different things around the school with Free Time Tuesday.'' Edd said sweating slightly.

'' I thought that you guys will be together in all classes, but I guess that prove me wrong.'' Marie said with a cute giggle. Edd chuckling as well knowing that his friends was like family to him and that they were almost inseparable at times.

'' Yeah with us you never know what adventure will happen to us.'' Edd said knowing their adventures was fun. Marie sighed sadly.

'' Yeah your lucky that you have friends.'' Marie said wishing she had friends and more importantly her sisters.

'' Hey hey now. You have me as a friend and I'm sure the others would like you as a friend too. Besides what about your mother, isn't she your friend?'' Edd asked knowing Marie told him that they would spend times together.

'' Yeah, but its not the same. I want friends beside her.'' Marie said as she stopped walking.

'' Are you mad at her?'' Double D asked turning around and looking at his female friend.

'' No! She already told me why she had to let the other girls go. She couldn't support us as well as our dads did so she sent them to live with them. While my dad said he didn't want a mistake!'' Marie said as she punched the wall making an fist engraved on the wall in sadness and anger

This made Edd jumped surprise of her actions. He then heard sniff as he saw tears going down her cheeks and too the floor. Edd didn't know what to do as he saw the bluenette cry in front of him. So, taking a note from Techlin, relied on his instincts as his body moved and brung Marie into a hug as she cried on his chest soaking his shirt, but he didn't care as right now his friend needed him. As she cried Double D looked around not seeing anyone in the hallway. Maybe the military escorted the students out thinking no one would be in the Library. That was more likely as the Library in this school wasn't as active as others.

Edd then heard the sounds of footsteps. There was no students at the Library or around here so that means its the soldiers. Edd looked down to the blue beauty to see who still crying with her eyes closed. Edd sighed as he took the chance of try a move that would help him and others. Invisibility Transfer*. He activated it as they slowly began to turn invisible and just as the soldiers came around the corner their feet turned invisible. It only took that long as it takes time for the invisibility to enter a forigen holder with the body not suitable for its power.

But currently the soldiers was at the corner talking about which way to go. There were five of them so one group of three and a pair split up with the three coming his way!

Marie stopped crying as she sniffed a little feeling her face against a wet spot. She felt arms around her and guessed that Edd was holding her while she cried in his chest. Now that was what she called sweet. She opened her eyes expecting to see his blue shirt, but only saw a wall.

' What wasn't I just leaning on Double D?' Marie thought pushing herself off until arms pulled her back down to the wet spot.

'' Stay still Marie.'' Marie heard Edd whisper as low as he could and looked up a little to see no Edd. She looked closer and moved her hand up to the boy and felt his sweaty face amd yet she didn't see it!

'' What the he-!'' Marie yell of fear was interrupted as a surprise Double D clamped down on her mouth with his hand then he lost his footing as his shaking legs stopped supporting them and the fell to the right side with a loud grunt from both.

'' Did you hear that guys?'' One of the soldiers said turning around on high aleart having heard something.

'' You probably hearing things.'' The commanding officer said as he and the other started walking.

'' I'm not hearing things. It could be a Hero or Villian or whatever the hell they call them freaks.'' The soldier's word struck a cord in Double D's mind as he grew angry knowing he was calling him and his friends freaks.

'' Yeah right lets go to the library, they say the next one is a book worm and hardly pays attention to his surroundings when he reading.'' The commander said as Double D wondered did he read so intently like what they say.

'' Fine.'' The soldier said as he turned around with Double D internally sighing. He got up bringing Marie up with him as he let her go and turned visible. He next received a punch in the face from said girl. Edd rubbed his cheek as he looked to the girl of his dreams just punching him.

'' What flying hell is wrong with you? They were the soldiers that was suppose to escort us!'' Marie yelled in outrage not caring if someone heard.

'' Marie please I can explain.'' Double D said as he tried to hush her looking around for the soldiers sweating a lot.

'' And what hell did you just do? How hell can they not see us cause I could touch you but couldn't see you too!'' Marie continued than her eyes went widen as she made the connection between the five boys and the five unknown breaches of school security.

'' Its you and your friends isn't it? Your who their looking for!'' Marie said and Edd heard footsteps and they was coming fast!

'' I have a goo-hmmmmph!'' Marie was silence as Edd grabbed her and clamped down hard and turned both of them invisible.

The soldier from before came back panting as he looked through the hallway knowing that he did hear something. Marie struggled to get out of Double D's grip around her wrist that was behind her back as he wished for all those mighty that he would leave.

'' Sargent Windals get your damn ass back here and enough of this hearing nonsense.'' Double D cry was heard as the commander called him back with Sargent Windal sighing. He backed away though slowly pointing his gun out to the hallway as he went around the corner and out of sight.

Double D sighed and let down his invisibility as he uncovered Marie's mouth.'' Let go of me this instant!''

'' Marie I'm sorry I-'' Double D didn't finish as he was about to let her go til she did it herself by shoving him against the wall and looking at him.

'' God something is really wrong with you! I can't believe that you and your freak circus should just go somewhere else! Don't you think that they might be trying to help you and you freaks, but no you have to hid like a pussy!'' Marie said.

Now that what made Double D really wanting to cry. He just heard his best friend/crush just call him a freak two times. Is that what they were to society now? Freaks of nature? Its one hearing it from someone else but hearing from someone who was your crush, now that was taking the line to far. Edd felt guilty as he slid to down the wall, knowing that they could have avoided a lot of trouble by just going with the soldiers and maybe that they would help him and his friends.

He didn't dare look up at the young woman before him as he knew what her eyes held. Anger, fear, hatred and if he did look at those eyes he felt that he would die. Then he heard a click as he turned to his right to see the soldier from before and was aiming the gun straight at them both. Marie looked real afraid as she inched away from the soldier.

'' I knew a wasn't crazy.'' The man chuckled as he got his gun ready.

With Ed.

Ed didn't pay attention to the announcement as he had more important things to do. Like currently chasing his sister who was caring her knocked out friend. He had found them a minute after the principle started speaking. At the end Jimmy was screaming scared that the military was here. He even fainted. Sarah took that time took the knocked out Jimmy and started running from Ed, intent of losing him.

Jimmy then woke as he looked at the moving ground and looked up to see Sarah who was sweating and panting from running. She looked at him and gave a little smile.

'' Good Jimmy your awake now start running!'' Sarah said as she dropped him and when he saw who was chasing them he quickly caught up with her screaming.

Ed was getting tired of this and used his Z-P Energy and sent the blue tendralls to them as it connected to the running kids stopping them mid-step. Ed slid to a stop in front of them and stared down at them as the kids whimpered wondering what he was going to do to them as he know was in control.

'' Now... I want you both to blink twice for yes and once for no. Do you promise not to run if I let you go?'' Ed asked and they both blinked twice.'' Will you listen to what I have to say?'' Two blinks was his answer

'' Okay now I'm letting you go.'' Ed said as he let them go. Both of them shaking in fear.

'' Look guys I know what happened last week scared you and all. But can we please just talk privately so Jimmy cover your ears.'' Ed said as he didn't want Jimmy to hear this. He did so and just to make sure Ed zapped him and froze his there. Jimmy pouted inside wishing that he could hear.

Ed then looked to Sarah who was still shaking but to a less degree.

'' Sarah your my baby sister. I know that we haven't been the best of friends or friends at all. But when you look at me with fear of your own brother then that just breaks my heart.'' Ed began as he clucthed his heart through his shirt.

'' I don't want that from you or the hatred that you showed me years before. But I want what we did have before we go older.'' Ed said.

'' What are you talking about? We never had nothing!'' Sarah said not remembering with Ed giving her a sad smile.

'' You don't remember, but I do. Do you remember our grandparents and that huge piece of land they owed?'' Ed asked with Sarah nodding he was glad that she at least remembered that.

'' Well when we were little we always played together there. We didn't fight or anything. I remember when you always called me Big Bro Ed. You also liked climbing in the trees with me helping you up all the way to the very top. Saying that you were the queen of the Jungle. I remember how we always swam in the river and how much you wanted to jump from the waterfall top, but I said it was too dangerous and that you'll get hurt. Or how you always showed me things that you thought were cool like a pretty flower or bug like a butterfly.'' Ed said as Sarah started to remember all those good times and the fun she had with him and their grandparents.

'' Then at night how you would always go to mine or either our grandparents room to sleep with us as you had nightmares and wanted somehow to protect you. I can't forget how we sometimes slept outside under the stars trying to see who could count to most with you always winning. Do you remember those moments Sarah?'' Ed asked as his eyes started to tear up with Sarah nodding with her tearing up as well as she refused to look up from her feet.

Jimmy didn't know what they was talking about, but if Sarah was crying then it must be very dramatic. Oh how he wished he can hear this!

'' That what I want for us now and in the future to be the loving and caring duo we once were. I know I made many mistakes that probably made you mad at me, but I don't care. I knew for a fact that my sister was just growing up and not wanting to let her real self out due to her wanting to change too fast.'' Ed was right as Sarah didn't want to be same as she was when she was little and Sarah knew it.

'' You punched me and beat me and I don't care. Truthfully I didn't feel a thing and was just acting, that's how I got the lead in last year's play. But that's not important. I love you Sarah you will always be my baby sister and I will always love you even if you are mean.'' Now that made Sarah sniffle as she started to cry.

'' All I truly want from you is not revenge or a present. I want us to be like a real brother and sister should be. Best friends for life. So do you want to be my best friend?'' Ed asked the question that would lead up to all he worked for.

'' Ed(Sniff) I don't want to be your best friend.'' This made Ed heart was about ready to break til she continued.'' I want to be you sister and best friend!'' Sarah exclaimed as she charged at Ed and tackled him, even for his strength. She cried on his chest as she let all of her feelings out. Ed then sit up and moved to the wall next to a few lockers leaning on it as he hugged his crying sister, with himself crying with pure joy.

He finally broke through to her after out of all these years. He seen through her act years before and now he broke through got the real Sarah back. He was so happy that he would do at least some of the old things that they did and new things now that they were older. Jimmy was un froze as he watch the foreign sight to him and thought it was heart warming at the scene. But if Sarah wasn't scared of him then he won't be either.

The happy moment was ruined when they heard the cocking of guns. All three looked up as they looked to the conjunction of halls to their left and saw five soldiers who were pointing their guns at them. Ed and slowly got up with his sister getting behind him knowing that her brother can protect her and Jimmy came too just wanting protection from the strongest kids he knew. A man stepped forward pointing his gun at Ed.

'' Hello soldiers.'' Ed said his brain currently off as he waved at them in delight.

'' Calm down! Okay I don't want any sudden movements! All I want is for you all to answer a question!'' The commander officer yelled unnecessarily as his voice sounded shrill and unstable.

'' Ya no you guys not shooting us will be nice.'' Ed said still oblivious to the situation

'' Just cooperate and no one gets hurt okay!'' The man shouted again.

'' Ok ok!'' Sarah said with the gun being pointed to her with Ed putting his arm in front of her.

'' Don't try me little girl! I'm warning you! Now answer my question, do one of you have powers or not?'' The man asked still with shrill and unstable voice.

'' Oh I have powers and so do couple friends of mine.'' Ed said giving away the secret that he forgot to keep again jumping up and down laughing. The other being unsuccessful.

'' Ed you dumb-ass.'' Sarah said as she shook her head wondering if her brother can get the picture and turn on that brain of his like he does when around his other four friends.

Ed's action aggravated the already edged soldier to no end. Once he get the way he is then there is no turning back cause his behavior with other captures assured the other soldiers.

Cafeteria.

'' Ene mene mini mo, I found the Hero!'' The leader said as he pointed his gun straight at Eddy.

Sword Practicing Class Room.

''I guess the objective is found. Get ready to fire to all of them.'' The man said stepping behind the soldiers having a plan to get the real objective out.

Gym

''Alright cute stuff this won't hurt much.'' The woman said as she aim at Dante and Nazz.

Other Side of School Hallway

'' Prepare for the worst pain ever you fucking ''Hero''.'' The man mocked the name as he moved his finger to the trigger.

Hallway

'' I told you to not try me!'' The soldier said as he got his gun and his finger pulled down on the trigger.

BANG!

Shots went off. Having only five targets. And the school and students was left in silence.

Five shots. Five Heroes.
