- Ed Edd n Eddy: "what if... Ed's story was actually what happened?" (Episode Once Upon an Ed) [given by anonymous reader (Guest) AO3]

chaos, destruction, that was their world now, the mutant Kanker's bringing destruction to all in their path, only kept slightly at bay by the military, but even that wasn't much, the Kanker's caused ruin to many towns and cities, using buildings like thrones for their own amusement and eating them like candy, the only ones still in the war-torn area were the kids of the Cul-de-Sac, hiding under the junkyard in their own built base made from all the scrap.

When the mutant Kanker's tried to grab the Eds they ripped up the house, allowing the three to escape into a torn-up section of the sewer, from there they snuck around, bringing the other kids down with them, there was arguing but they understood that this wasn't a time for it, so they kept travelling until they came out in the junkyard where they hid for a few days, sneaking around the town to gather supplies, Double D was able to make a radio with the junk to get in contact with authorities, unfortunately, the area had been evacuated and they couldn't get to them, and they knew they couldn't leave without the Kanker's getting them.

That is when they decided to fight, they started by digging a base, Rolf, his animals, Ed and Jonny were key to this, the digging and foundation were made with a combination of metal and fast-growing trees Jonny had used in his superhero identity, Double D and Kevin working together to design it, with the others gathering supplies, in a week they had a powerful underground base.

In the weeks that followed they tried to fight against the mutant Kanker's but their equipment was just pitiful, that's when Ed remarked "To fight an enemy sometimes you have to become the enemy" Double D realised what he meant and said they needed to find out what caused the Kanker's to mutate, they searched the remains of the Trailer Park, that's where they found the mouldy remains of the Over-Radiated Mashed Potatoes, once back at base Double D was able to do tests.

After a few days, he explained what he found, the radiation had caused the nutrients within to accelerate the growth within the Kanker's and give them unique abilities as they have seen, when asked if they could do the same he said no, that they had been left too long and would cause a limited mutation that would cause the eater great pain and possibly death, but they still contained lots of power and unique mutation power, so he can instead create weapons for them to use that will be effective against the Kanker's, with this good news they got to work, getting everything he needed, after a week of work he was done and all were outfitted with new weapons and gear to battle the Mutant Kanker's.

Equipment list:

Ed:
Rocket boots and power impact helmet. The boots make him rocket at great speeds in the direction he is pointing in and the helmet produces energy that can either be used to protect him and those under it or create powerful explosions. Turning him into a living cannonball.

Edd (Double D):
Psionic helmet. A helmet that allows Edd to move things with his mind, from simple objects moving to creating inventions, the more powerful the mind the more powerful he is.

Eddy:
Magnetic gloves. Gloves that allow him to manipulate all metals, using them to create shields and weapons with a swipe on the hand, he tends to use them to gather money to fight with, old habits die hard.

Kevin:
Power bike. Enhancing his bike with high-level tech has made it into a one-rider arsenal, able to fire energy shots, chains and even travel any surface from wall to water, it can even become an exosuit for extra mobility.

Nazz:
Power boots and bracelets. The boots allow her super jumping and agility to put her cheerleading to use, the bracelets create energy that can be used as either shields or to make explosive projectile Pom-poms.

Rolf:
Power tool. A multitool staff that can shift its form into whatever he needs, be it farming, climbing or combat, it's surprising how dangerous a farm tool can be in the right hands, especially when the tool is made of or can produce energy.

Sarah:
Sonic emitters. Small but powerful amps placed on the palms of her hands that connect to a microphone choker around her neck, using her powerful voice to create sonic blasts and waves with each shout, allowing her to even fly.

Jimmy:
Power bubble suit. an exosuit with thick pads that both protect him and give him great strength/power, making it so he can jump super high and lift heavy things like cars and it can even expand into a super strong bubble that surrounds him, keeping him from extreme harm.

Jonny & Plank:
Power armour van. a van used for both transport and fighting, with Plank embedded in the console he was somehow able to drive it (even Double D doesn't know how) while Jonny controlled the weapons that either fired energy blasts or his instant growth acorns, it can even transform into a large mech suit the pair piolet to fight.
