The Ed, Edd n Eddy Project

""Only on Dreadzone X where you can be part of the battle.""

- York the Impaler: Act V, Ch. 29

A trilogy that is a challenge. A challenge where to get the "what if?" scenario and write it out, all to get the following result. Written by Cory of PRIVATE Corp and original concept by the Midevil Lombax, the crossover trilogy comprises of an loosely based chain-of-events that will eventually pay off in the end with a glorious battle.

The first story in the Project, Ed, Edd 'n Eddy: Deadlocked is a crossover with the Ed boys and the Ratchet & Clank universe. The story takes the Eds through the works of the installer gladiatorial game show, Dreadzone X. If was first conceive over a conversation at lunch, saying "What would happen if the Eds are place in DreadZone?" The next thing: Applying a situation that involves the Eds being abducted by the aliens from the Cartoon Network Invaded mini-series and sending them to the Polaris galaxy, where Gandolfini Birman is running former Gleeman Vox's position as head of Dreadzone. With an all new twist to this game, the Eds will fight through the ranks to make it to the top and hopefully get out alive. And the rest is history. It's pretty much getting the Eds to fight alongside a faceless teen wielding a katana, all while facing a ditz of a hero, an expy of a monster, an unknown being, a robot named after the creator, and another robot that's, all while winning challenges that are meant to be killing them and being commentated by a muscle man and a mood swinging devil child. Yep, the Eds got their work cut out. You can read the first story here.

The sequel to Deadlocked, Kingdom Hearts: An Ed, Edd n Eddy Story, is almost complete, taking the Eds for a ride through the Cartoon Network universe and exploring all the shows that make up the channel. Along with such hits, they are taking on the Heartless, fighting villains for other shows, and dealing with a super powerful being. Much like Deadlocked, Kingdom Hearts is more or less taking on the whole crossover pairing with the two series itself, and in the end: it pays off. In short: the Eds are looking for their friends that went missing because of the hunt for the Pure Hearted, all while figuring out that there is a much bigger evil waiting in store, and it turns out to be someone that they know of. It can be read here

A third and final story is Ed, Edd n Eddy: The Meister Within, takes place two years after Kingdom Hearts'' has been recently published, and a three way crossover between the Ed Boys, Soul Eater, and Samurai Jack No further details about the plot are given, but so far, this story takes place ON EARTH instead of space, two of the Eds are meisters while the third Ed is a demon weapon, and the main villain of this final story is Aku and The Man in Shadows. There are plans for 6interquels as well, with three in the middle of each story. The first of the interquels, Combat Racing: The Organization Cup, takes place in-between Kingdom Hearts and the third story and it follows the same plot from another writer's story, only apply new concepts and a better performance than the first story.

This is in need of a few pages...

#01 Deadlocked
"Eddy: "So what? This is a fan-fic.""

 * Berserk Button: Act IV, Ch. 24 provides a very good example.
 * You do not want to get in-between Marsha and money

 * Double Jump: The Eds get one (despite being literature) - Eddy is natural, Ed only through rockets and Edd with the assistance of the Telekinesis Gem
 * Drives Like Crazy: Edd's driving behind anything when the situation gets sticky.
 * Drunk with Power: Gandolfini Birman
 * Dual Boss: Dr. Nefarious and
 * Dungeon Master: Just take a guess.
 * Earthshattering Kaboom: Uh... there was an exploding planet in Act III, Ch. 16, but that planet was a gas planet.

 * Everything's Deader with Zombies: Oh yeah
 * Everything Is Even Worse With Sharks: Nitebites. A whole swarm of them to make things even worse.
 * Everything is Trying to Kill You: If you register for Dreadzone, then this is what you'll be facing.
 * Exactly What It Says on the Tin: The EMP gun haves "EMP" written directly on it.
 * Executive Meddling: An In-Universe example, as Gandolfini being the one running everything that is Dreadzone. Since he produces more bolts than the film studios, who are airing his show, can within a YEAR, he can control them without dealing with other executives. Plus, how else can he maintain his money if he can't control the fates of every last gladiator in Dreadzone?

 * It would explain The Reveal during Act V, Ch. 26.

""OK, that was too much information.""
 * Explosive Leash: The Deadlock Collars are back
 * Eyes of Gold: Gandolfini Birman and Marsha Violet
 * Fandom-Specific Plot: The story is base around Ratchet: Deadlocked, but it gets more complicated when introducing the setting.

 * Fan Service:
 * Fantastic Racism: Not a whole lot of people seem to care about the Eds, especially since they are in Dreadzone.

 * Four: All of the Ed, Edd 'n' Eddy cast
 * Five: Ratchet, Mask Hero, Marsha Violet, Gandolfini Birman (despite his left arm), Olympians, S.A.N.T.A, and the Medieval Lombax.
 * In the author's mind, he is visualizing all of the character having five fingers (except for Gandolfini's left arm).
 * Full-Frontal Assault: Was pitched by Kevin. Got rejected because of Gandolfini's security
 * Fun with Acronyms: S.A.N.T.A, which stands for "Super Artificial Titanium Nuclear Android."
 * And even so in this fan-fic, the RYNO
 * Getting Crap Past the Radar: For Acts III and IV, Marsha has been leaking whenever she sees Edd. And for a Running Gag, York will get a whiff of acid, wiping his nose to get rid of the acid smell.
 * Again with Marsha in Act IV, Ch. 22, where she "wasted an orgasm after laughing so hard."

"Edd: "Eddy, look at the size of that thing!" Eddy: "This isn't a sexual reference, is it?" Edd: "Of course not! Do you think I know better?""

 * Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot: Hoo boy...
 * Would Gandolfini count for being a anthromorphic tion human with a robotic left arm?

 * Act III, Ch. 19, at the very end for the Extraterrestrial's bio.
 * Paper-Thin Disguise: Dr. Nefarious when he is fighting in public. Ratchet and Clank pointed this out in Act II, Ch. 08, which lead the readers to keep in mind Professor Treacherous is really Dr. Nefarious. Everyone that is a fan In-Universe doesn't know that Treacherous is Nefarious.

 * Spoiler: The fan-fic was meant to be set after Ratchet: Deadlocked, but Word of God wasn't certain that Dr. Nefarious was going to appear for some time. Until his appearance in Quest for Booty and then his role as the main antagonist in Crack in Time, the plan for Ratchet: Deadlocked was scrapped and replaced with a Crack in Time setting, once the game officially came out. Act III, Ch. 14 provides how Nefarious and Lawrence got to Dreadzone, with the warning at the beginning saying that if you haven't played Crack in Time, "watch the ending on YouTube or proceed with caution."
 * Take That: According to Word of God, Noweg's news report features a list of people that have been killed off by Professor Treacherous/Dr. Nefarious. Well, it appears that most of them are there as a gag, while the remaining are there for personal hatred towards those people.
 * The same can be said for the two people in the "Random Homicide" events.
 * Talking To Itself: Consider that the Extraterrestrial haves multiple mouths, this may be one of the few In-Universe moments for this trope.

 * Act II, Ch. 10 got Marsha eating a lava rock that she thought she could handle.
 * Act V, Ch. 31


 * seconds later he got shot*"


 * Theme Tune: If Dreadzone X were to get a theme for the show, it'll be Know Your Enemy by Green Day
 * There Is No Kill Like Overkill: The Cricket's beam is just too much to handle
 * This Trope Is Bleep: Some curse words were bleep due to parodying of being editted even being a live show. Marsha and the Behemoth are subjects to this, as Sedah fell victim to this.
 * Inverted for Gandolfini as, according to Word of God, there weren't any cameras focusing on him. Without those cameras, he can curse whenever he wants.
 * Translator Microbes: The Eds have built-in translators in their suits that allows them to communicate with the aliens in the universe, according to the Word of God.
 * Inverted for the Sarks. While Word of God translated the words, the Eds could not understand them.
 * Truth-Telling Session: Act II, Ch. 08; Act V, Chapters 25 and 26
 * Tsundere: Marsha Violet
 * Unexplained Recovery: The Mechanical Reaper line and Dr. Nefarious.
 * The Unintelligible: The inversion for Translator Microbes of the Sarks, also adverted for literal translation in the story (but the Eds still couldn't understand them).
 * The Un-Reveal: It was never mentioned how Slim Cognito got out of prison.
 * What Could Have Been: At first, the idea of having all the weapons, excluding the super weapons, to be fully upgraded by Chapter 31, but only three did.
 * The mentioning of what the X in Dreadzone X means, but is never explained in the story. For now, Let X Be the Unknown
 * Act V, Ch. 31: the very end was either the current or Inspector Gadget's theme. Due to the Inspector's theme being harder to write, it got cut. However, there is a chance for that to reappear elsewhere.
 * What Do You Mean, It's Not Awesome?: Consider that this is Dreadzone X we're talking here and there is Oozla in it, along with the Megacorp Superstore. Now, if you look up the music to the Superstore, imagine that playing with the whole image of Dreadzone.
 * York the IMPALER!
 * The Weapo-Morph
 * What Do You Mean, It's Not Symbolic?: Act I, Ch. 04 with the Thunder Shrine.
 * Where Does She Keep All of Her Money?: According to Word of God, Marsha haves only one bank account and where she keeps it is all in one place...
 * Written Detailed Porn: Just look at the link before you say anything! Since this is still a written story, it is hard to see what the planets look like. Otherwise, the planets the Eds visit are beautiful in their own way, even with Dreadzone.
 * Viking Booty: As a challenge from Act I, Ch. 05. There's nothing special besides
 * Villain with Good Publicity: Dr. Nefarious, all the way, though under his alias Professor Treacherous
 * X Makes Anything Cool: Dreadzone X, the X Gauntlet and
 * Yank the Dog's Chain: and maybe the Epilogue
 * You Fail Nuclear Physics Forever: ... You take your pick.
 * Your Head Asplode: Happened to every Exterminator in this series with different results.
 * Zombie Apocalypse: Gravestone 42, the Crusader and the Liberator Tournament Qualifier

#02 Kingdom Hearts
""Do you feel a strange breeze or anything?""
 * Actor Allusion: Zip-fly unlocked something deep within both that allows them to
 * Alternate Continuity: Amazing adverted for a Kingdom Hearts story. Nearly all of the worlds have no alterations to their plot (since most of the shows deal with an episode nature, a plot or no plot, etc.)
 * The only show to sort-of played this straight is Code Lyoko. The reason being is that Cory admits he never seen all of the series and sets it before Season 4, but he still avoids using continuity from any particular episode.
 * An Ice Person: Normadomus' only Black Magic move is Blizzard and all of its level
 * Angst: Normadomus gets a minor one in Chapter 12
 * Better Than It Sounds: Just look up the other Ed, Edd n Eddy/Kingdom Hearts crossovers and see if they are anything like this

 * Eddy also recognizes the face of Giovanni to be similar to that of the Big Bad in Deadlocked.
 * Cosmic Keystone: Keyholes
 * Deconstruction: Not for Ed, Edd n Eddy or for Kingdom Hearts, but for the crossover pair in general
 * Early-Bird Cameo: Along with other original characters (excluding Giovanni, Newt and Mask), the main villain the Destroyer of Light
 * Exactly What It Says on the Tin: The title of the story!
 * Fan Service: Not in sexual terms, but with all of the Shout Outs, Throwaway Gags, Running Jokes, Continuity Nods and the massive Mythology Gag, this is easily one of the few Kingdom Hearts crossovers to be pleasing the fans
 * Foreshadowing: in Act II, Chapter 14. Is he a future enemy or is it one of Mad Mod's tricks?
 * Guest Star Party Member
 * The Heartless: Kinda obvious due to being a Kingdom Hearts crossover
 * Humongous Mecha: Megas, the Glorft's mechs, and
 * Impossibly Cool Clothes: The Eds get a makeover
 * Since Zip-fly is related to Nobodies, who have appearances based on moving clothes, he has zippers all over his body

 * The Dudes... the only way to get rid of them.
 * Mean Brit: The computer from Courage the Cowardly Dog and Mad Mod from Teen Titans, who else?
 * Mind Screw: The entirety of Act II, Chapter 14
 * Mistaken Nationality: Parodied in the Foster's chapter, with Mr. Herriman and Frankie confusing Normadomus for an imaginary friend
 * Mythology Gag: Let's just say that even with the Eds' own show, this story is going to cover other shows as well... possibly bordering Continuity Porn by the time this story ends
 * Nice Hat: Not only does Eddy dons a new hat, Ed gets one and not only does it moves, it speaks and performs magic!
 * No Fourth Wall: As of Act I, Chapter 05... the existence of it is no more. Thanks a lot, Freakazoid!
 * Lampshaded by Eddy in Act I, Chapter 07 through a Stealth Pun

"Edd: "Ed’s a Red Mage? Ed doesn’t appear to be the type to even do what you do.""
 * Taken to the extreme levels in Chapter 14 with Mad Mod and Mumbo Jumbo taking over the chapter and messed with the characters
 * Nominal Importance: Normadomus has yet to say the names of the Eds boys...
 * Our Ghosts Are Different: Prankster, to the T
