A Brave New World

This is the final chapter to my Gangs of Edtropolis fic. I'll get the sequel out if I get enough reviews, SO REVIEW IT!!

Ivan grabbed Edd and held his gun against Edd's head. Ivan held Edd's hands behind his back so Edd couldn't move them. "Ivan, what the hell are you doing" demanded Edd. Isaac turned his gun on Ivan and aimed for his head. "Isaac, help me. Get him away from me, quickly" pleaded Edd. "For the motherland" said Isaac to Ivan, who smiled in return. Isaac then turned his gun and aimed at Marie, who put her hands up.

The soldiers down below didn't know what to do, they just stared and looked around confused.

"What do you want Ivan" asked Edd, "We are taking this ship and you shall not stop us" replied Ivan. "What are you going to do with it. Sell it on the streets?" said Edd, "I was born in Snezinsk, formally known as Cheliablsk 70, the nuclear research outpost. After the Cold War my home was bought out by the Americans" said Ivan bitterly. "Is there a point to this sad story" replied Edd annoyed. "NOT THAT YOU WOULD UNDERSTAND. Land, friends, dignity, all sold to the highest bidder, the United States of America. Even the technology that gave birth to this vessel is Russian. Developed by us" Ivan said angrily. "What do you intend to do?" asked Edd. "Russia will rise again" Ivan whispered in Edd's ear...

Eddy, who had been listening in the conversation, decided to do something... Eddy took his gun and stepped onto the balcony where Ivan, Edd, Isaac and Marie were. Before Ivan could turn around Eddy put two slugs in his back. One hit his shoulder, the other just missed his heart.

Ivan dropped his gun and let go of Edd as he collapsed. Eddy also put a slug into Isaac's head, sending his over the edge of the railing of the balcony. Edd and Marie quickly got off the balcony and stood behind Eddy. Ivan was slumped up against the railing, bleeding profusely, but still alive. Eddy took his gun and aimed at Ivan, "Any last words" said Eddy, but Ivan just looked at the floor and remained silent.

Eddy pulled the trigger and sent a bullet through Ivan's heart. Blood seeped out of his mouth but his wounds were no longer pulsating. Ivan was dead.

"Thanks Eddy" said Edd, "You're welcome" replied Eddy. "Guess this means you owe me, huh?" said Eddy as he holstered his guns. "Sure, what do you want?" said Edd slightly suspicious. Eddy looked around and replied "I wanna go with you. To wherever your going. I want in."

"Well" said Edd hesitantly "I suppose we got enough room" Edd said looking at the corpse of his once most trust worthy soldier. "Great" said Eddy smiling sinisterly "so where's my room?" he said as he walked off.

Issac and Ivan's bodies were thrown off the vessel moments before lift off. As the colossal ship lifted away from the ground, it's engines glowing a light blue, sending dust and any small object flying. The bodies off fallen soldiers and the wrecks of destroyed vehicles watched as the Warlord set off.

The dust stuck in the pools of blood like glue. Spent bullet cartridges and shells littered the ground and rolled around pointlessly in the wind. On one building, where a stray shell had landed blowing up most of the small house, a small lizard crawled out and quickly darted across the open road. Passing the remains of a flaming APC of which the back door had been blown off and the troops inside shredded by machine gun fire, a small stream of blood flowed from the group coffin, filling a crater like a lake.

A heavily wounded rebel and an equally injured AR trooper, lay with their backs resting on a wall. Their guns lay at their sides, either could easily kill the other with the few bullets they had left, but neither wanted to die alone. Instead they talked, whats the point in holding meaningless grudges when you only a few moments of life left. The AR trooper took out his pocket Bible and began to read a verse before quietly falling into an infinite sleep.

The rebel took the Bible and too began to read, he said his first and final prayer, then joined his new friend in the eternal here after.

But on the Warlord...

The soldiers were celebrating, music was playing drinks were being handed out. Eddy was in his new room getting used to things. He had a shower and changed his clothes. He lay down on his bed and began to fall asleep when suddenly the door slide open with the usual thwispk. He sat up to see who had entered, before him stood a tall blonde who he recognized immediately as Nazz. "What the? How'd you get on board?" he demanded.

She blew a piece of hair from her face and sat next to Eddy on his bed. "I followed you, it wasn't hard, you aren't exactly the master of subtle" she explained, "and there was no one at the main entrance so I just walked in". Nazz hugged Eddy and the two fell onto the bed, they fell asleep in each others arms.

Edd and Marie where in his office. Edd was sitting in his chair and Marie was sitting on his lap looking at him, she had taken off her top and was teasing Edd. "Come on, take it off" Edd pleaded as Marie held her breasts. "Mmmm, I dunno. Why should I" Marie continued to tease him. "Please" Edd pleaded again, Marie lowered her hands, revealing her bra. She took Edd's hand and placed him her breast.

Meanwhile, in the coldness of the cargo bay. Inside container 100bT. Tanya sat in the far corner, curled up in a ball. Inside, she felt like something was missing. Subconsciously, she knew Ivan was dead. But not completely dead, for inside her, he lived on. She carried the next generation, Ivan's genetic code.

There were hundreds of people on board, she could fit in, survive, no problem...

Bellum est vacuus voluntas

(A/N) Thanks to everyone who read and reviewed. Sorry if it's a little short, but anyway. The sequel will be out real soon, but here's another teaser...

Unlike the original Eddy, this Eddy was a smooth talker and had many allies. He had a network of contacts that could get him anything he needed, from porno magazines to illegal weapons.

Edd was given a neural implant, one third of his brain was now a computer, he had a wire that he could plug into any computer and download anything. He also had a neural interface, so he could see his computer screen like a desktop and no one else could see.
