In the Sunny Kingdom Castle, the gang was watching Fine and Rein who were on their beds frowning while not looking at each other.
"Enough already you two-pumo!" Poomo shouted.
"Yeah, this is starting to get really old." Eddy said.
"How long have they been like-a this?" Luigi asked.
"For three days. Minimum." Tails answered.
"All because Fine became 'friends' with Edgy Boy?" Eddy said.
"They were really good friends, weren't they?" Zelda said.
"You two, please forgive each other," Double-D said but Fine huffed.
"Make up with her-pumo!"
"She's the one who's wrong," Rein said.
"Just say "Sorry" and everything will be okay-pumo!"
"I've done nothing wrong, she's twisted and that's her problem!"
"I demand you two tickle each other, right now!" Ed demanded in a stern big brother voice but they see the twins are already asleep.
"These two really need to make up." Sonic shook his head.
"Love is so-a complicated." Luigi sighed.
Later, Poomo was watching out of the window.
"Scolding doesn't work, soothing doesn't work either-pumo." The little fairy sighed. "What on earth should I do-pumo? Princess Grace-Sama..."
Eddy was awake and behind a door, listening to what Poomo was saying.
"I know-pumo... this is all because I'm not good enough-pumo." He turned back to the twins who were sleeping on their beds. "If I was more reliable... and valued."
He imagine himself with bushy eyebrows, looking more confident, the twins listening to him, and the Heroes praising him.
"That's right-pumo. Who I am now is not enough-pumo. I need to change who I am-pumo!" He flexes his teeny tiny muscles. "The only way to acheive that is hard training-pumo!"
"Training?" Eddy said. Remembering all the times he and his friends were always treated like crap back in their home the Cul-De-Dac. Beaten up by the kids after the failures of their scams, getting unwanted kisses from the Kankers, etc. Now it's the time for them to man up, mostly Double-D. Maybe with that training, they can fight alongside the Heroes and protect Fine and Rein.
"Little buddy, you're not the only one who's gonna have training." The scam artist smirked.
Next morning, Poomo arrived on a hermit-shaped island in the middle of the sea.
"Pumo! This is an unusual island-pumo!" Poomo said.
"It sure is!" The little fairy then turned to the Eds. Eddy managed to ask Poomo to let him, Ed, and Double-D join in on the training.
"Eddy, did we really have to wake up early for this?" Double-D yawned.
"The early bird gets the worm, Double-D!" Ed said.
"Come on Sockhead, Rolf did say you need to eat more fiber," Eddy said. "Besides, I feel we might face more bad guys that are stronger than us, and we need this training!"
"Yes, the best way to train yourself is kung fu of course-pumo!" Poomo nodded. "A legendary kung fu master lives on this island. We'll learn directly from him-pumo!"
"Everyone loves kung fu fighting!" Ed sang.
"It'll be like dojo scam we did last time!" Eddy said. "Only more authentic.
"Why yes, but remember you tried to get Ed to break Johnny?" Double-D said.
The Eds climbed the stairs, but as they reached the top, they were panting. Double-D was already drenched in sweat as Eddy tried to straighten out his back while Ed's tongue was lolled out like a dog's.
"Ugh... stairs..." Eddy gasped and saw Poomo. "He can fly, that ain't fair."
"I'm getting excited-pumo!" The little fairy threw a punch in the air.
"HIYAH!" Ed shouted as he does some karate moves so fast, his whole body got entangled.
The door opened to reveal a short old man.
"Pumo?"
"Huh? That's the master?" Eddy said.
"Eddy, please don't be rude," Double-D said.
"What do you want?" The old man politely asked.
"It's really nice to meet you-pumo! My name is Poomo-pumo!" Poomo bowed. "These are Ed, Edd, and Eddy! Great Master, we would like to become your pupils-pumo!"
"Yeah, what he said!" Eddy said.
"Sorry, but I'm not accepting pupils now." The Master said.
"What? Why not!?"
"I'm quite old now and bored of teaching."
"Please! We're begging you-pumo!" Poomo pleaded.
"Please, sir!" Ed pleaded as well. "I want to learn kung fu!"
"What should I do?" The Master said. "Anyway, we shouldn't stand here talking. Please come in."
"Thank you, Master." Double-D said as they entered.
Back at the Sunny Kingdom Castle.
"EH!?" The Heroes rushed to Fine and Rein's room.
"Fine, what's the matter?" Penny said.
"Poomo and the Eds, they're gone!" Fine shouted.
"The Ed Boys have gone missing!?" Rolf gasped. "Have they gone to plan another Monkey World Scam behind Rolf and the kids' backs again!?"
"They left this note!" Fine handed them the note as Tails read it.
"Sennin Island?"
"I have heard of that island," Zelda spoke as everyone turned to her. "I've been researching this world since we arrived. It's a hermit-shaped island where a kung fu master named Bam Boo lives."
"Kung fu? Why would Poomo and the Eds go there?" Luigi said.
"And what kind of name is Bam Boo?" Aya asked curiously, tilting her head.
"No idea, we need to go after them!" Knuckles said.
"Hey, hey, Rein!" Fine motioned to Rein's bed but the blue twin was nowhere to be seen. "Oh, I was half asleep and forgot, anyway!"
Fine got ready, grabbed her Sunny Luche and was about to leave before looking back at Rein's bed.
"Rein's not around. What's she doing at a time like this?"
Fine left as the Heroes followed.
Back at Sennin Island, the screen motioned to what it looked like a temple... before motioning to an old hut.
"Th-This is...? What is this mess?" Poomo said.
"The master's gonna train us in this dump?" Eddy groaned as they entered, seeing it was a mess. "It's just as messy as Ed's room!"
"I feel right at home, you guys!" Ed smiled.
"Messy, messy, messy, if Fine and Rein's room was like this, they'll have to clean it right away." Double-D said before screaming upon seeing a big spider before Ed smacked it away.
"But Bam Boo is a legendary kung fu master," Poomo said. "There's probably some deep philosophy behind this-pumo!"
"You think?" Eddy rose an eyebrow.
"Great Master, we'll clean this up-pumo!"
"Ah, if you say so."
"Leave it to us-pumo!"
"I think I should handle this, I don't trust Ed and Eddy with cleaning," Double-D said as he help Poomo clean the place up.
"Hey, I resent that!" Eddy snapped.
Back with the Heroes, they went to a bay and offered a boat ride to Sennin Island.
"Ah, Fine! Everyone!" They see Rein was about to go on a different boat.
"Rein!" Fine said.
"What are you doing here?"
"Well, Poomo and the Eds left a note, so..."
"Yeah, can't believe those guys decided to go there and expect us to not look for them," Sonic said.
"Poomo left you the same note?" Fine said as the twins sighed.
"Come on you two, let's go look for them together," Impa said but the twins huffed as they went on different boats. "I guess not."
As the Heroes got on the boats and were about to leave...
"Twin Princesses! Heroes!"
"Hey, it's Tio." Knuckles said as they see Tio running to them.
"It would be my honor to escort you ther-" The Flame Kingdom Prince falls off the dock.
"Does that always happen?" Saki said with a sweatdrop.
"Yeah, it does." Sonic nodded as Tio tried to swim after them.
"I must admit, I admire his determination." Zelda giggled.
Back at the island, the hut was neat and tidy.
"Phew, it's finally clean-pumo."
"A job well done, I say." Double-D smiled but he saw there were seeds on the ground and turned to see Bam Boo snacking on a fruit then spitting out the seeds.
"Argh! Right after we cleaned the room-pumo!"
"Master, would you please have some manners!" Double-D took out a broom and swept up the seeds.
"Ah, it may be that... Great Master is testing me to see I can get angry easily-pumo. Patience, patience is a key-pumo. If I'm upset over a small thing like this, I can't possible change who I am-pumo."
"Well Poomo, patience is a virtue, after all," Double-D said as he finished sweeping.
"Great Master, tell us if there is anything else for us to do-pumo."
Back with the Heroes they sailed with Fine on their boat while Rein was on another as they waited for their destination.
"How long till we get there?" Sonic said as he laid back on the top of the boat.
"Just a few more miles." Tails said, looking at a map.
"So annoying, why did they do such a reckless thing?" Fine frowned with Kirby on her lap and petting his head.
"Poyo."
"Uh! Could it be that..."
"...we're the very reason he did it?" Rein finished on the other boat.
"Well, maybe you should try to become friends again," Penny said.
"Then, if we become friends again..."
"...maybe Poomo will come back to us."
"That's it." Knuckles nodded.
"Even so, I never, ever want to be the first to say sorry!" The twins shouted. "Aw, Fine/Rein is... SO STUBBORN!"
The Heroes looked at each other in worry as Mario frowned.
"Mama-Mia...Not even Luigi and I wer this-a bad!"
Luigi nodded. "You got that right, Mario."
"The island is in sight!" The Heroes soon arrived at Sennin Island.
"Oh, it's an unusual island!" The Twins looked in awe before looking at each other before huffing.
"Oh, there are so many fruits, great for dinners!" Bam Boo said as he picked a cucumber.
"They're just cucumbers-pumo."
"Yeah, and they're vegetables!" Eddy said as Bam Boo offered them the cucumbers but they denied.
"I noticed your garden is full of weeds, Master Bam Boo." Double-D said. "Why couldn't you pull them?"
"Let them be, nature takes care of everything. You don't need to do anything. Look, they're growing well, no?"
"Well yes, but..."
"Hey, when are you gonna train us in kung fu?" Eddy asked.
"Train? Oh, come to think of it, I haven't done it for a while."
"WHAT!?"
"Don't you train yourself-pumo?"
"Let's see, I haven't in 20 years or so."
"20!?"
"No, maybe 30." Bam Boo said which made them slump.
"Being here was just a waste of time..." Eddy sighed.
"But Great Master, will you at least tell us what I should do-pumo?" Poomo asked. "I'll try to teach myself-pumo.
"Exactly why are you trying to do this?" Bam Boo asked.
"To straighten myself out and become strong-willed-pumo!"
"And we want to fight alongside our friends!" Ed said.
"Let everything be as it is. A cucumber be a cucumber, a pumpkin be a pumpkin. Let me, be me. Why can't you accept that?"
"Ooooooh..." Ed said, his eyes widened in understanding.
"What is it, Lumpy?" Eddy said.
"I understand, you guys."
Eddy and Double-D looked at each other before shrugging, just rolling along with it cause they trust their friend.
"Well, Ed's had his fair share of strange wisdom before."
"You got that right, Sockhead."
Poomo watched Bam Boo sleep. "I can't accept that-pumo. That would mean I have to remain who I am, someone so unreliable-pumo."
"Oh, it's okay, Poomo." Double-D said.
"But I came here wishing that the legendary kung fu master would help me, but he's just a lazy person-pumo." Poomo sighed as he flew off.
"Even I'm not thay lazy." Eddy said.
"Ed... Edd... Eddy..."
A mysterious voice echoed through the air, causing the three to stand on guard and look around for the source frantically.
"Who said that?" Double-D said.
"Follow me..."
"Follow the voice!" Ed said as he followed the voice.
"Ed!" Eddy and Double-D sighed as they followed their dim-witted friend.
Soon, the Heroes arrived at the island as they climbed the long staircase.
"That was long..." Saki sighed as Fine and Rein were panting.
"You know I could've carried you two?" Penny said as Aya got off of her back.
"Come on, let's go get the Eds and Poomo." Sonic said as they went to Bam Boo's place.
"Eh!? They're missing!?" Fine and Rein gawked after Bam Boo told them about the Eds and Poomo.
"Yeah." Bam Boo nodded as Fine and Rein glared at each other.
"Don't say the same thing as me."
"You, don't say the same thing as me, Rein."
"Okay you two, that's enough." Knuckles said before motioning to Bam Boo. "But most importantly where's Poomo and the Eds?"
"I presume they went training."
"Training? We need to find them!" Luigi said.
"The best way to cover the island is to split into groups," Impa suggested.
"Okay, Rolf, Tails, Knuckles, Saki, Aya, Penny, and I are going with Rein," Sonic said.
"Let's-a go, Kirby, Luigi, Donkey Kong, Link, Zelda, and Impa," Mario said. "We're going with-a Fine."
Luigi nodded. "Oh yeah!"
"Right! I know jungles like the back of my head!" DK grinned.
"Shall we, Link, Impa?" Zelda motioned to the two as they nodded.
"That's right. At a time like this, you better split up and look for them." Bam Boo nodded.
Sonic motioned to Fine and Rein. "Fine, Rein..."
"No way!" The Twins shook their heads.
"I don't want her to come with me!"
"And I don't want you to come with me, Fine!"
"Alright you two, that's enough!" Sonic scolded as Mario glared.
"The two of-a you have been like this for quite enough!"
"Fighting over something so petty like Prince Bright?" Sonic said. "Give me a break!"
"But..."
Mario and Sonic gave them The Look, making them both shrink back guiltily. However, it was clear they weren't ready to start talking to each other just yet.
Back with the Eds, Ed followed the voice as his friends tried to follow as they got hit by their faces from tree branches.
"Ugh, when we get off of this island, I'm using Ed's head to clean the toilet!" Eddy growled.
They reached the source of the mysterious voice which was a strange tree.
"My word," Double-D looked in awe. "What kind of tree is this?"
"No idea," Eddy shrugged. "Ed, get back here!"
"Stop! Listen." Ed said as the tree lowered a strange-looking fruit from its branch.
"What's going on here?"
"Ed, Edd, Eddy, take a bite of the fruit, it will help you find the answers you seek."
"You want us to eat that?" Eddy said.
"It could be poisonous," Double-D said. "We still don't know the fruits and flora of this planet yet."
"There is no poison, I assure you. However, If you do eat this fruit, a heavy burden will be placed on you."
"A burden, what the heck does that even mean?" Eddy said but they see Ed took a bite out of the fruit without hesitation. "ED! What the heck are you doing!?"
"Eating the fruit," Ed said as he chewed before swallowing. "Yum, try it guys it's delicious!"
Eddy and Double-D looked at each other nervously.
"Well... okay Ed." Double-D said as he and Eddy took a bite out of the fruit... before reeling back in disgust. "HOW HORRIBLE! DISGUSTING!"
"GROSS! IT'S LIKE I'M EATING GARBAGE WRAPPED IN RAW SEWAGE!"
"It tasted good to me, you guys."
"Let's go, I can't believe we came here to take a bite out of some crap." Eddy said as they left.
As the Eds took their leave, the tree had some last words to say to them as it slowly began disappearing.
"I wish you three good luck."
Meanwhile with Poomo, he was training by himself while pulling a big rock he tied himself to.
"Don't go the easy way-pumo." He grunted. "There is no success without effort-pumo! Win against yourself-pumo!"
He soon comes across a rickety bridge, he was hesitant at first but he had no choice since we wanted to change himself. He tried to cross, but thanks to the rock it began to drag him.
"PUMO!"
"Poomo?" Fine said as she and her group saw Poomo hanging on for dear life. "Poomo!"
"Oh no!" Mario gasped.
"Poomo, we're coming!" DK said.
"No, no, I don't need any help-pumo. I have to get out of this on my own!" Poomo said firmly, trying to get up all by himself before giving up, the weight being too heavy. "I changed my mind, help me-pumo!"
He then loses his grasp and fell down screaming.
"POOMO!" Fine's group shouted as the red twins summoned her scepter.
"Twinkle bloomish! Daruma-san ga koronda!" Fine chanted as Poomo and rock levitated.
"Ah, that light is..." Rein said as she and her group see Poomo floating.
"What is he doing?" Saki asked.
"No idea, but we need to save him!" Sonic said.
"Quick Poomo, grab this!" Impa said as she threw a vine for Poomo to grab on to.
"Now, pull!" DK said as they tried to pull Poomo to safety but the vine began to tear up.
"We won't make it in time!" Zelda said.
"What should I do? I can't do that alone." Fine said. "REIN!"
"FINE!" They see Rein's group running to them.
"Guys! We heard what was going on!" Sonic said.
"Fine, Rein, listen," Penny said. "You two need to apologize to each other for what happened last time, for Poomo's sake!"
"Yeah, forget about Bright, saving a friend is what matters most, right?!" Knuckles said.
"They're right, Fine," Rein said. "We need put that aside and save Poomo!"
"Then, let's do that!" Fine said as he sister nodded.
"Together, you and I!" They both said as they took out their Sunny Luches and transformed but the vine snap, sending Poomo falling to his doom.
"I'm falling! I'm falling!"
"Twin twinkle bloomish! Help Poomo!"
Poomo sighed in relief. "Thank goodness, I'm saf-"
But then, the boulder began to grow bigger.
"Was that supposed to happen?" Saki asked.
"Why?"
"Is it because we argued?" Fine and Rein said.
"I'm done for after all-pumo." Poomo said as he waited for the end, but the big boulder gets caught in the chasm.
"Hey, that worked!" Knuckles said.
"We did it! A great success!" The twins cheered.
"So, now what?" DK said. "Do we go get him?"
"Don't worry, I'll handle this." Penny said as she was about to fly after Poomo, but then Bam Boo jumped in and attacks the boulder multiple times before breaking it into bits.
"Mama-Mia!" The Bros stared in awe as the Heroes were amazed. Bam Boo grabs Poomo as he hopped back to them.
"Woah, that was amazing Great Master!" Tails said.
"I could've broken that boulder easily." Knuckles said as Poomo flew to Fine and Rein.
"I owe you my life! I owe you forever-pumo!" Poomo said with tears in his eyes. "Ah! Thank you very much-pumo! Great Master, you are the legendary kung fu master-pumo!"
"I don't care what you call me." Bam Boo said. "What matters is what's inside."
"Inside what-pumo?" Poomo said.
"In the heart." Mario said, pointing at his chest.
"Ah yes, I'm proud to see that you understood that." Bam Boo said in approval as Mario chuckled.
"Well, let's-a-just say I've had a few good teachers in my-a life."
"Um, sorry to interrupt, but where are the Eds?" Aya asked.
"Ah, yes! The Ed Boys!" Rolf said.
"Those three boys? They're about to discover something new about themselves as well." Bam Boo said as the Heroes were confused before continuing to search for the Eds.
Meanwhile with the Ed Boys, they walked through the forest after they heard Poomo's scream.
"Hurry guys, my gut tells me that Poomo is in trouble!" Ed said.
"Oh dear, I hope he isn't caught in a terrible pickle!" Double-D said.
"Let's just keep on going!" Eddy said as they ran through the forest, but they gasped as Eddy stopped in his tracks, making the Eds bump into each other.
"Eddy, what's the matter?" Double-D asked as the Ed Leader pointed to see the island wildlife growling at them. "Oh my, forgive us we didn't mean to trespass in your habitat."
The animals just growled as they cornered the Eds.
"We are surrounded!" Ed said.
"Oh no, this is not how I see ourselves dying!" Eddy said as the Eds braced themselves. But then, flames coated in Eddy's hands. "What the?"
Then the flames launched out, hitting the animals as they ran off.
"Pardon my language but...HOW THE HELL DID YOU DO THAT!?" Double-D shouted.
"HOW THE HELL DID I DO THAT!?" Eddy yelled.
"Eddy has superpowers!" Ed cheered.
"Hey yeah, I do!" Eddy grinned in realization as he saw a bigger animal growling at him. The short teen smirked as he charges up an attack.
"Flame Fist!" Eddy shoots a fist-shaped fire blast at it, burning it.
"So cool!" Ed grinned.
"Oh my!" Double-D gasp but he turned to see another creature growling at him. The brainy Ed-Boy screamed but he ended up firing a beam of electricity out of his hand, shocking the creature into a crisp. "Oh my, I seem to have powers as well!"
But they see they're surrounded by more animals. Ed gets a look of determination while pointing forward.
"Now it's my turn!" Ed gets coated in darkness as he places his hand on the ground, sending a wave of darkness that the animals sank in.
"Guys, you think it was that strange fruit we ate gave us these awesome powers?" Eddy said.
"Well, I believe it is possible, Eddy. After all this planet does have an abundance in magic." Double-D said.
"I can't wait to show our powers to our friends!" Ed grinned in glee.
As they were about to leave, their path got blocked by two Shy Guys in karate outfits.
"Who are these weirdos?" Eddy asked.
"We're the Karate Duo Number 1!"
"Number 1!"
"How could you be number one if you are a duo?" Ed said.
"Cause we are number one!"
"Number one beat all!"
"Karate what!?" Eddy said.
"Karate beat all!"
"Number one!"
"What are you saying?" Double-D asked.
"KYAAAAAAAHHH!"
HIYAAAAAAAHHH!"
They both do some karate screams while posing as the Eds stand there. Eddy, having enough of this, fired flames from his finger tips like guns, sending them on fire.
"KYAAAAAAAHHH!"
"HIYAAAAAAHHH!"
They both screamed before burning into nothing.
"What a bunch of crazy Asian stereotypes," Eddy said.
"Eddy, was that really necessary?" Double-D asked.
"Not my fault they were so annoying."
"Let's go show our friends our powers, you guys!" Ed excitedly said as they traverse through the forest before reuniting with the Heroes.
"Ah, it's the Eds!" Rein said.
"Ed Boys!" Rolf said.
"We've been looking for you guys everywhere!" Sonic said. "What happened?"
"Well, we're gonna tell you all about it," Eddy smirked as flames get coated on his hands, surprising them. "Right after we get back."
"Who's idea was it to send those idiots?" Bowser said.
"Not me, Lord Bowser." General Guy sighed. "They went there on their own."
"YEAH, TOAST!"
"Can someone silence that toast-obsessed fool!?" Eggman shouted as a Shy Guy with fairy wings flew around with toast.
"TOAST!"
Knightmare Lord A/N:
Yes, the Eds ate a Devil Fruit from One Piece. I just feel like the zany antics of the Eds would mesh well with the crazy powers of the One Piece universe.
