Double D slowly woke up. He didnīt open his eyes. He
just lay still.
"What was that?" he thought.
"Please, donīt let it be..."
"It is. Itīs an ECG. That means Iīm in a
hospital."
Double D sat up in the hospital bunk and looked around.
He had strange wires connected to his head. He saw Eddy, Ed and Commissar Rolf
Yarrick lying unconcious on their bunks. He was apparently the only one awake.
Suddenly, he heared footsteps from outside the door on his right. Instinctively
he gripped after his plasma gun. But it wasnīt there!
Instead he throwed himself to the floor on the left
side of his bunk and took cover. The wires that were connected to his head, was
ripped off by the sudden move. As the door opened, Double D prepared to see
some horrible alien lifeform. Instead, while having a slight shock, he saw a
complete copy of himself, though a bit older. Same hat too.
The armour of the Double D copy was a bit more ornamented, with some strange
runes that glowed. He was also equipped with a sword very much like Double Dīs,
but much bigger. And instead of plasma gun, he had a bolter, same as Edīs. He
immediatly saw that Double D was missing, and also saw were he hid.
"Donīt be afraid of me, Lexicanum." he said with a voice very much like
Double Dīs, though a bit darker, as if he was grown-up.
Double D looked out from his hiding spot and said:
"Who are you?"
"Iīm Master Lexicanum Edward McKenzie. And donīt worry, I already know
that your name also is Edward."
"How did you know that?"
"The Emperor told us to help you three, i.e you and your two friends, to
defeat Lord Kevlinn. He also told us your names."
"Whaddya mean 'us'?"
"Sorry. I mean me, Lieutenant Ed Charleston, and of course Grand Commander
Eddie McGranth."
Two other persons showed up behind Master Lexicanum Edward McKenzie.
One of them was very tall, and was equipped with jump pack, power sword and a
smaller version of Double Dīs plasma gun, a so called plasma pistol. He looked
like Ed in the face, though without the complete braindead look of Ed.
The other one was short, by Space Marine standards. He was clad in Terminator
armour, but instead of Lightning Claws, he had a twin-barreled bolter and an
axe that glowed with a red light. Even though he was the shortest one, he was
still a bit taller then Double D. He looked exactly as Eddy, but a bit older.
Double D just stared at them. He didnīt know what to
say. He just felt so shocked of looking at himself and his two friends in a
more mature version.
Then, Eddy and Ed slowly came to. The Master Lexicanum walked over to them. Eddy
was the first one to notice him.
"Hey, Double D, how long have you been awake?"
"What do you mean with 'Double D'?" McKenzie just replied.
(From now on, Iīm using the Eds copies last names for referring)
"Whaddya mean 'whaddya mean'?" Eddy said and looked angrily on
McKenzie.
When Eddy realized it wasnīt Double D, he got scared.
"Ahhhh! Who are you?" he asked by mere shock.
Double D took the initiative and said:
"Itīs Master Lexicanum Edward McKenzie. And his two companions are
Lieutenant Ed Charleston and Grand Commander Eddie McGranth."
He went over and whispered to Eddy:
"I belive theyīre our replicas in this Galaxy."
"Oh, my head!" Ed shouted as he tried to make sence off all that
happened around him.
McKenzie handed him some water.
"When the Commissar wakes up, the Emperor would like to see you." McGranth
said.
Eddy looked at his replica, and said:
"If that is what Iīm going to look like when I grow up, I donīt want to
grow up."
McGranth walked over to Eddy and looked him deeply in the eyes.
"With that attitude young man, you wont grow up. At least not in this
galaxy."
"Why not?" Eddy asked.
"Because youīd probably be dead before 15, thatīs why."
Eddy looked at Double D and said while pointing at McGranth:
"I like him."
"Hmmm." the reply just came, from both Mckenzie and Double D.
"Ohhh, the Emperor saved our souls after all." Commissar Rolf said as
he woke up.
"Good, your awake." Charleston said and helped Commissar Rolf Yarrick
out of his bunk.
"Weīll go to the Emperors Palace in about half an hour." McGranth
said as he picked away the wires from Eddy head.
++++Later, in the Emperors Palace++++
"Ahh, there they are, my dear heroes. You do know that you saved the
entire Imperium, donīt you?" the Emperor said as Ed,Edd n Eddy along with
McGranth, McKenzie, Charleston and Yarrick entered his throne chamber.
"But we didnīt kill him." the unisone reply came from the Eds.
"Maybe so, but you made him flee from Armageddon, and therefore, you have
recaptured it. From now on, you and Commissar Rolf Yarrick are the governours
of Armageddon."
Eddy couldnīt take it any more. He wanted to go home.
"We donīt want the control of Armageddon. We just want to go home to
Earth."
"Yeah, thatīs right." Ed and Double D agreed.
"If that is what you want, so be it." the Emperor said and made a
magical gesture with his hand.
The Eds disappeared. The only thing left was their armour, which stood there
empty.
"They arenīt going to have any memories of this, are they?" McGranth
asked.
"Of course not. I sent them back two hours after their disappearence on
Earth. They wont remember anything."
"May they live wealthy lives, my dear friends." McKenzie sighed.
"Yeah." Charleston agreed.
"Same here, Master Lexicanum. Same here." McGranth said.
Back on Earth, the Eds woke up on Double Dīs backyard.
"Double D. Explain to me why we are lying on your backyard?"
"I donīt know Eddy, I just donīt know."
"Guys."
"What is it Ed?"
"I found a quarter in the grass. Was that why weīre lying on Double Dīs
backyard?" Ed asked.
"I donīt think so pal." Eddy replied. "Wait a second! What did
you find?!"
"A quarter."
"Ed, youīre beautiful! Letīs buy Jawbreakers!"
The Eds got up from the grass, but Double D had serious problems to walk.
"Ouch! My leg!"
"What is it pal?" Eddy asked as he turned round and looked at Double
D.
Double D sat down and pulled down his sock on his left leg. There was a red
mark on the leg. It looked like a bruise, but it hurted a lot more.
"When did that happen?" Eddy asked.
"I donīt know Eddy. It wasnīt there yesterday."
"Do you think you can walk?"
"Walk....yes. Run....no." Double D just replied.
"Okay. Weīll walk down to the candy store."
Double D got up from the grass and smiled at his two friends.
And so, the Eds walked off, unaware that they had
saved an entire Galaxy from eternal evil.
You do want to know what happened afterwards, donīt
you? Just hang on, and Iīll tell you.
The Imperium was built up, and no enemies appeared
until a strange warrior that looked like a Space Marine, but without armour on
his left arm, came and made an invasion with the help of the race known as Dark
Eldar. He called himself Kharn the Betrayer, because he sometimes shot his own
warriors, just like a Commissar.
He made an attempt to lay siege upon Armageddon, but was thwarted by the Space
Marine Legions and the Guardsman army of Commissar Sebastian Yarrick, grandson
to Commissar Rolf Yarrick. Kharn was believed killed, as an Eldar craftworld,
the Biel Tan, helped the Imperial forces. The Biel Tan craftworldīs Farseer was
a descendant to Farseer Johnnisky of craftworld Plankian.
But suddenly, about three hundred years after
Armageddons liberation, the Imperium disappeared without a trace. Nothing was
left, and any trace of the Space Marine Legions was lost.....
Double D runs out of his garage followed by two water
jets. The two water jets hits him in his back.
"Hah! Gottcha you evil Berzerker!" Eddy shouted as he and Ed ran up
to Double D.
"Donīt think that you do,Space Outlaw." Double D said and revealed
two water-baloons.
He throwed them and both came bang on target.
But donīt belive what the cronicles say...........
