Deamons Are Not For ED

"Now, my dear brother, you and your Commander will face a quick but painful death at my hands." Grimjaw said.
He swept back with the hand holding the whip and charged it up.
Then, suddenly, a blue lightning bolt struck Grimjaw in the back and sent him flying high into the air.
As Grimjaw got to his feet, he saw a very angry Double D, with a sword glowing almost white because of all the psi-power, and behind him, Ed, Eddy and Charleston stood, ready to fight.
"You do not hurt Master Lexicanum McKenzie, or else I´m gonna fry you medium-rare." Double D hissed between clutched teeth.
"So, you think that you can take on me, a Magus of the Hive? You´re on!" Magus Grimjaw shouted.
The Magus thought he´d found a easy target, but he was to be horribly wrong.

(As everybody should know about Space Outlaw Lexicanums, they oftenly far surpass the Space Marine Lexicanums and Hive Maguses. I don´t know why it is that way. It just is.)

Magus Grimjaw sent a green bolt flying through the air, which Double D just knocked away with a simple stroke of his hand. And before Grimjaw understood what had happened, he felt a horrible pain in his body as Double D gave him a taste of a move called "Psychic Lightning Storm".

(It´s one of the most powerful moves a Lexicanum can learn ever)

This was the last that Grimjaw could take. He went down on his knees and disappeared in purple flames. (Just like some monsters in Zelda64)

As McKenzie saw the threat was over, he knocked McGranth on his shoulder.
"It´s okay now Eddie."
No answer.
"Eddie?"
Still no answer.
"Eddie!!"

Charleston and the Eds rushed over to McKenzie who looked down onto McGranth´s lifeless body.
"Is he?" Eddy asked.
Double D kneeled down and put two fingers on McGranth´s throat.
"No he´s not. The pulse is there, but it´s weak." the answer came from Double D.
"I belive he fainted away because of blood-loss." McKenzie added.
"We have to get him to a hospital." Charlseton said worried.
"You´re right Ed. Captain Eddy, Sergeant Ed? Take off McGranth´s armour."
"What´s Double D going to do?" Eddy asked as he took off the armour on McGranth´s right arm.
"I want to have a talk with your Lexicanum." McKenzie said and walked away a bit with Double D.
"Oh, well. Hey, Charleston! What are we gonna do with the armour?"
"Hide it somewhere. In a good place" Charleston replied as he was busy taking off his armour.

"Now, Double D, may I call you that?"
"Of course you can. All my friends do."
"Well, Double D, I want you to have this Spirit-ball." McKenzie said and handed a red crystal ball to Double D.
"What´s a Spirit-ball?" Double D asked instinctively.
"It´s a ball that contains the spirit of a great warrior. In your case a certain person who helped you much last time. Crush the ball and the spirit will be set free and find a suitable body to have temporarely. It will return after the battle is over."
"Oh, I get it." Double D said as he realized what McKenzie meant.
"The reason I give them to you, is that I trust you more than Ed and Eddy. You´re almost like me. Just younger."
"Don´t flatter me." Double D said and blushed slightly.
"Come on, let´s go back to the others." McKenzie said as he took off his gauntlets.

"What was that all about?" Eddy asked as Double D and McKenzie came back.
"Oh, it was about a friend of ours." Double D answered.
"Not that I get anything, but.." Eddy began. "Hey! McGranth is moving!"
"You´re right, Captain!" McKenzie said and kneeled down beside McGranth.
"Uhh.." McGranth said quietly. "I feel so weak."
"It´s because of the blood-loss." McKenzie answered and put his hand on McGranth´s belly.
"Whaddya doing?" McGranth asked.

Zap!

"Arrgh! What was that?" McGranth asked shocked as he got to his feet.
"I put a psionic-bandage on the wound. It´ll only hold a couple of hours." McKenzie said and put his arm around McGranth to help him stand up. Charleston went over and helped too.
"Now, while we take Eddie here to a hospital, you three guard this world from oblivion." Charleston said as they left.

When the Space Marines were out of sight, Eddy said:
"Great! We don´t even know if they´ll come back."
"I don´t think they´ll abandon us." Double D replied.
"Guys, I´m scared." Ed said.
"That´s odd, I´m not." Double D said and looked confunded.
"I wonder if Kharn has found out about Grimjaw yet?" Eddy said to himself.
"I belive he has, Eddy. I belive he has." Double D said and sat down.
The car-junkyard was to be the scene of a battle soon, and Double D knew this very well. In one way, he hated his ability to forsee the future in small bits.

Seconuds 2, The Temple of Khaine<

"Oh, Khaine! I offer you these proud Sybarites, in return, I just want some battle luck in the shape of Deamon Hounds!" Kharn shouted as the Rite of Deamon Summoning was begun.
The three Sybarites before him, clad in full battle gear, kneeled and as Kharn swinged the mighty Axe of Khaine in a wide arc, they didn´t utter one word.
After that, three red beams appeared from the altar with the icon of Khaine.
The following of the summoning is left to your own imagination. I can´t really describe what´s happening, but it´s a "bit" discusting.

>Back on Earth, 11.00 a.m<

"Way cool colours!" Ed shouted.
"What is it Ed?" Eddy asked and turned round.
As Eddy turned round he saw what Ed had seen. Ed had seen the Warp-gate, slowly opening, but in his simplicity, he didn´t realize what it was.
"I belive it´s the Warp-hole." Double D got out of him.
"Cool." Ed said.
The Eds saw four pair of red eyes appear in the midst of the hole.
"Okay guys." Eddy said and charged up the Lightning Claws. "Get ready to rumble."

Slowly, Kharn and three big hairy (in loss of better words) dogs materialized theselves before them.
"Hello, fellows." Kharn said. "Long time, no see."
"Lord Kharn." Eddy said between his teeth.
"What are those?" Double D asked and pointed towards the three hounds.
"These are Scyla, Scyrack and Scratch. Faithful Deamon Hounds of Khaine." Kharn said.
"They´re just puppies, but they can do a lot of stuff. Like sit, and FETCH!"
Before the Eds knew what was happening, the three hounds had jumped on them.
They rolled around on the ground a while until the Eds got the over-hand.
Eddy ran a Lightning Claw through Scyla, Double D fried Scyrack with a psi-storm and Ed blasted Scratch apart with his bolter.

As the Eds got back up on their feet, Double D marched up to Kharn with a very confident look on his face. Forcesword glowing white again.
"I can fry you just as I did with Scyrack." Double D hissed between his teeth.
"You know, Space Outlaw, there is two ways of releasing a Deamon Prince." Kharn began.
"One; by anger, two; by threats. You did number two." Kharn said and smiled behind the helmet.
"Oh my." Double D said and walked backwards.
He knew what he had done.
He had set a deamon free.

Rolf was feeling bored. He had done all his chores and dismissed the Urban Rangers for the day. There was nothing more to do. He went out on his backyard.
From there, he heared something that mostly could be described as a horrendous scream.
"That came from the junkyard." he thought to himself. "It must be those crazy Ed-boys. Come to think of it, I haven´t seen them for all day."
Rolf decided to take a look, as the human curiosity inside him was awakened.
"That scream couldn´t have come from any of the Eds. Their lungs aren´t built for that."

Rolf was absolutely right. The scream hadn´t come from any of the Eds. It had come from Kharn when the Deamon inside him broke free. So now, before the Eds, a three metres high, winged Deamon Prince was standing. Instead of feet it had hoofs and a long tail that mostly looked like a whip/devils tail combo.
"Well, well, well." the deamon said with a voice that sound almost like Kevin´s.
"Dork, Dorkk and Dorkky. You three are like yoyo´s. I can send you flying into the jaws of Death and you come flying up again."
"It´s called survival-instinct, deamon filth." Double D said confidently.
"Think you´re so tough, huh?" Kharn said and grabbed after the axe that was supposed to be on his back. He just grabbed thin air.
"I hate when I misplace that axe." he said when he took back his hand from his back.
He snapped his fingers in the air before him and a huge, double-handed axe appeared from nowhere.
"Cool trick!" Eddy said. "Do you think you can do that with the Kankers but the other way around?"
"Eddy!" Double D snapped.
"So, Captain?" Kharn said and gazed Eddy deep in his eyes. "You like my deamonic little tricks? What would you say about seeing more of them?"
"I would like that." Eddy said. He didn´t know the Deamon had hypnotised him. Double D on the other hand realized this.
"Get out of his mind, Kharn!!" he roared as he jumped on Kharn.
Kharn just knocked him away with a stroke of his hand, sending Double D flying about 50 metres before he landed hard on the ground. He skidded on the ground for a shorter distance before he stopped, at the feet of Rolf.

This small distraction was enough for Eddy to break out of the hypnotic-gaze and pull down a pile of old cars upon Kharn.

(The Lightning Claw gives the wearer an enormous strength)

The Deamon was trapped beneath about 10 tonnes of steel.
"That was that Deamon Ed." Eddy said as he walked up to Ed.
"I don´t know Eddy. It went to easy." Ed answered worried.
"Nah, Kharn wasn´t just prepared for us. Come on let´s go get Double D."
As Eddy and Ed walked off towards where Double D had landed, they felt a rumbling in the ground.
"Cool." Ed said. "This reminds me of when Rolf came out of the ground and turned into a big, hairy bat."
"I don´t belive this is Rolf, Ed" Eddy said and looked down at were a small amount off earth was heading.
Without warning, Kharn broke out of the ground and flew up high into the air.
"No you made me really mad!!" he roared.

"Are you okay, Double D?" Rolf asked as he kneeled down to help Double D up.
"Yes, I´m fine Rolf." Double D answered. "Rolf!?"
"Why are you dressed in such odd armour?"
Double D remembered the spirit-ball.
"Long story" he said and pulled out the ball and crushed it against the ground.
Rolf was swept into a blinding white light and as the light disappeared, he stood there in Commissar Rolf Yarricks uniform.
"What is this?" he said and looked at himself.
He said nothing more before a semi-transparent thing ensnared him.

"Stop moving so I can hit you!" Kharn roared as the giant, double-handed axe missed Ed with an inch.
Ed thought he´d outsmarted the Deamon and flew close enough to use the power-sword on him.
Unfortunetly Kharn saw this and with a simple stroke of the axe, he cut deep in the jump-pack of Ed. Ed realized this, but too late.
"Oh no, not again!" he thought just before the jump-pack exploded.

Faboom!

Ed landed with a thump a bit away from Kharn. He was almost unconcious.
"And now, only the Captain is left." Kharn said and shot out with an arm and gripped around Eddy´s throat.
As Kharn picked up Eddy from the ground, he looked at the struggeling Space Outlaw Captain and smiled.
"This," he said. "This reminds me of when I was only a Berzerker and when you attacked me for the first time. Only thing different is that no Commissar Rolf Yarrick can save you now."

There was a sound like when wind blows, a thud like when something hit wood, and a scream. The scream came from Kharn. He let go of Eddy, who landed with a thud and ran off to Ed, and pulled a sword with a golden eagle as it´s parring-bar from his arm.
"I know this sword too well." Kharn said as he turned round.
"Commissar Rolf Yarrick!!" he roared as he saw the Commissar.
"Haha! There´s no place where you can ever hide from me, Kharn!" Commissar Rolf said triumphantly.
"I belive we are forever arch-enemies." Kharn said and threw the axe against Commissar Rolf.
The Commissar made a summersault and avoided the axe easily. But Kharn´s Deamonic axe is no ordinary axe. It turned in the air and came back into Kharn´s hand, just like Thors Hammer.
"Now it´s my turn to try." Double D said and shot a lightning bolt at Kharn. It dissipated just a couple of inches from Kharn´s chest.
"Huh?" Double D said and looked confused. "What happened?"
"Have you been sleeping under a tank-track, Ed-boy? You can´t attack a Deamon with the same thing that their made of." Commissar Rolf said with an angry look on his face.
"NOW you tell me." Double D said shocked.
"The Commissar is right. I´m not affected by sorcery. But I belive you are!" Kharn shouted and shot a fireball against Double D. Double D ducked for the fireball, which dissipated into nothing as it hit the ground.

(Note: When Kharn says "sorcery" he means psionical powers.)

Before Double D could answer the attack with his Plasma gun, Kharn sent a fire-wave attack against him, which knocked both him and Commissar Rolf off their feet.
"Now finally I can deal with you, Captain Eddy." Kharn said and turned and looked at Eddy who was trying hard to wake up Ed.

(Please take note that Commissar Rolf Yarrick and Rolf are two completly seperate persons, even though Yarrick has possed Rolf´s body)

Double D and Commissar Rolf were lying on the ground not far away.
"How are we going to take out the deamon?" Yarrick asked quietly.
Double D thought of the fire-crystal.
"Let´s fight fire with fire." he answered.
"What?"
"You´ll see. Just keep Kharn distracted."
"How?"
"Snap off a few shots at him with the lasgun."
"Okay."

Commissar Rolf got to his feet and pulled the lasgun. He shot away two brightly red, laser shots right into Kharn´s back. The Deamon Prince left it´s attention from the Space Outlaw leader for a while to send off a blast against Commissar Rolf. Yarrick summersaulted out of the way for the shot. This distraction was all Double D needed to sneak up to Kharn.
"Yo! Deamon filth!" he yelled.
Kharn looked down at the Space Outlaw Lexicanum.
"What?" Kharn said.
"Nothing, really." Double D said and crushed the fire-spell crystal.
Both he and Kharn was swept into a firery inferno as the bound spell was released.
All the others could do was watch.
