edd and the monsters {an eddsworld fic}

five

When Tom opened his eyes, he had no idea where he was.

The last thing he remembered was Matt screaming as he fell to the ground. But what happened before that?

After a moment, Tom remembered. Two army dudes came and knocked him out so that they could take them to RL. Now, they were sitting in the back seat of a car, tied up so they wouldn't escape.

Perfect.

Tom looked over at Matt, who was still knocked out. He felt worried for his friend; what if he wasn't okay? What if he didn't wake up soon, and he had to face RL on his own?

Tom was quite terrified.

Tom glanced over at the soldiers who were in the front seat. One of them had a black buzzcut and the other had blonde hair that stuck up. They both were talking about how much they wanted the day to be over. Tom wanted the day to be over, too, but he couldn't complain, now, could he?

Tom looked back at Matt, who Tom could tell was slowly waking up. Matt opened his eyes and blinked twice, before looking at Tom. There was fear in his red eyes. Matt didn't want to be here, either. He was just as scared as Tom.

After a while, the car stopped. They were at the base. Tom could feel his heart racing; he didn't want to be here. Not now, not ever. He would have to find a way to escape with Matt later.

The soldiers got out of the car and pulled Tom and Matt out with them. Tom was being held onto by the one with the buzzcut. Tom struggled a bit, but the soldier tightened his grip on him.

"Don't struggle," he told Tom. "It'll be harder if you do."

Tom would've rolled his eyes if he had pupils. The two soldiers led the monsters inside the base.

The base was exactly how Tom remembered it. It smelled like metal and the floor was made up of several white tiles. There were several doors, and the thought of what was inside each of them made Tom feel nervous.

They led the two down the hall and over to a door. On the door was a plaque that said 'Red Leader'. The one that was holding onto Matt knocked on the door.

"Come in!"

The soldier opened the door. Tom's heart pounded in his chest. The soldiers pushed Tom and Matt inside.

Sitting at the desk was RL. RL smiled.

"Look who finally decided to show up."

Edd had to get his friends back.

Edd didn't know how to get them back. Hell, Edd wasn't even sure where exactly they were! This thought brought Edd into a panic.

Edd paced around the hallway. He needed help finding Tom and Matt, but who would help him? He didn't really have any close friends that would be willing to help him, so that had Edd stumped. Then, suddenly, it hit Edd.

The neighbors?

That seemed ridiculous to Edd. Why would his neighbors help him? Eduardo hated him. But, they were the only ones available...

Okay, Edd would try it. Edd ran down the stairs and out the front door, completely forgetting about putting away the cola. He ran next door and frantically knocked on the door. After a moment, Eduardo opened the door.

"Why are you here?" Eduardo asked, clearly not happy.

"Eduardo, I need your help."

"Why would I help you?" he asked. "We're rivals, remember?"

"Yes, Eduardo, I know, but Tom and Matt are in trouble!" Edd explained. "They got kidnapped by some people and I need to find them!"

"Wait, they got kidnapped?"

That line brought Mark over to the front door. He raised an eyebrow.

"Kidnapped? Who got kidnapped?" the blonde asked.

"Tom and Matt," Edd said. "I don't know exactly where they are, but I need to get them back. They might be in an army base or something."

"Well, I'm not helping." Eduardo bitterly said.

"Eduardo, don't be a dick," Mark said. "We'll help."

Edd gave a small smile. "Thank you."

"You're welcome. Now, you need to tell us everything."

Edd nodded, and the three men walked into the living room. Jon was sitting on the couch already. Mark and Eduardo sat next to him, and Edd paced around the living room as he explained everything. He told them about how Tom and Matt got there, and things about RL. Then, they got down to business.

They were going to find Tom and Matt, even if it meant risking their lives.
