Ed's Ideas

because lol I'm never gonna write half of these but to give an idea on some of my ideas and plans
==Stories==
===EPF chronicles thing===
Characters:
* The Ed - Ed
* Amelia - Ed's partner
* Doktor - Basically the Gary of Gemini EPF
* "Changed Daily" - Gives missions to agents, uses codenames - real name never revealed
====Your Lucky Day====
* Villain (Lucky Larry) whose superpower is luck
* Ed & Amelia chase after villain on hoverbikes
* "Changed Daily" calls Ed asking how chase is going
:* Ed asks if they'll ever manage to capture Lucky Larry
:* Doktor butts in and simply says "No" and that they'd need an agent as lucky as Larry is
* Larry crashes hoverbike into truck, lands on skateboard that falls out back
* Rides down street into narrow alleyway
* Agents crash their hoverbikes into gap, too wide
* See Larry standing behind secret doorway in the wall, bricks closing
* Ed asks Amelia if she saw which bricks he pressed; says she did, and shoots wall with her laser gun
* Breaks hole in door, agents find Larry on a literal mountain of gold bars
* Larry very nonchalant, welcomes agents to his "humble hideaway"
:* Says how he was hatched the luckiest penguin in Antarctica
* Ed laughs and challenges him to escape with 20 tons of gold, Larry says he'll escape somehow
* Says he hates to see Ed go home empty handed again, kisses a coin and tosses it to Ed
:* Coin tumbling down gold bars causes floor to creak, entire mountain and Larry fall through the floor
* Just happened to be an empty train traveling underneath, every gold bar caught
:* "Well that was jolly lucky."
* Amelia chases after, asks how lucky he feels now and says being short isn't very lucky
:* Train passes under a signal, Amelia knocked off while Larry is fine
----
* Back at EPF Tower, Doktor says the mission was a complete success
:* In possession of coin Larry kissed, his super lucky DNA is in surface
* "That's really really great Doktor, but why am I in a tube"
* Doktor explains that now he can give Ed the lucky gene to make him just as lucky as Larry
* Tube mixes him with goop like a blender, Ed collapses on the floor
* Back in the briefing room, "Changed Daily" congratulates team and says that for the most uptight reasons of security that his name must be changed daily
:* Looks at his phone and sighs, it says "Puffle Wuffle" - Agents & Doktor laugh
* Doktor says to meet the EPF's luckiest agent, Ed
* Puffle Wuffle says that Ed is now the only penguin in Antarctica to be able to defeat Larry wherever he may be
* Amelia asks how they know if Ed really is lucky when Ed's phone rings
* Larry accidentally calls wrong number and gives away plan - Ed is lucky to get it
* Ed impersonates Larry's mother, Larry says he was voted king of the Warmslates and has entered every election on the continent
:* He's going to become the most powerful penguin in Antarctica through sheer luck
* Doktor says that's how Ed is going to stop him
----
* Ed and Amelia jump on a hoverbike, Puffle Wuffle says there is no point in wishing them good luck, Ed already has it
:* Doktor says it'll wear off in 12 hours, gives them lucky spray for when that happens
* Agents land on Penguiki Island, Larry is there on the beach
* "What a stroke of luck, the first beach we checked" as the two waddle up
* Makes fun of Amelia, then says oh that's lucky as a giant wave crashes on the beach and blows them away
* Larry is lucky and lands in his upside down umbrella - Ed surprises him and is on top of the pole
:* Ed closes the umbrella, there is a rowboat next to him - that was lucky
:* A whale surfaces with Larry on top - that was lucky
:* Blows water out of its blowhole, Larry thrown into the air - that was lucky
:* Lands in the back seat of a plane flying overhead - that was lucky
:* Plane runs out of gas - that was lucky
* Several hours later, Amelia reading magazines on the beach
:* Ed and Larry still fighting and saying how lucky they are in the background
* Amelia gets fed up and tells them to stop driving her crazy
* Later that night, Ed challenges Larry to a coin toss
:* Tails, Ed takes him into EPF custody
:* Heads, Larry becomes ruler of Antarctica
* Coin tosses, lands on its side
* Almost immediately, Ed is crushed by an anvil and coin falls to heads
:* Luck wore off, Amelia runs over to spray him with lucky spray before a second anvil falls and knocks her down
:* Spray is stuck, continues spraying everything - bystanders nearby start getting incredibly lucky
* Larry upset that it's not "fun" when everyone else is as lucky as he is, handcuffed by Amelia
----
* Back at briefing room, Puffle Wuffle is debriefing agents
* Turns out every single penguin in Antarctica became as lucky as Larry, wore off after 12 hours
:* Because everyone was equally as lucky, it cancelled out and went back to normal
* "There is no point in the world being equally lucky"
MEANWHILE IN SPACE (might not include in story)
* Literally like 30 asteroids all narrowly miss the Earth - that was lucky
====Shadow Ninjas====
* EPF arrests random criminals, recovers artifacts stolen
* Definitely ninja, but not any of the ones at the Dojo
* "Oh well, we'll figure it out later" and puts them all in lockup
* Random agent on guard duty, base is ghost town at night
* Sees movement in corner of his eye, thinks shadows are moving
* Occasional other agents teasing him about being afraid of dark - think it's nothing
* Agent starts falling asleep, goes to mess hall to get coffee
* Turns light on, sees shadow ninja for split second before it disappears
* Freaks out, wakes up other characters in the process
* Says he saw a shadow ninja, nobody believes him
* "Maybe I'm just seeing things" and goes back to guard duty
* Hears noises again, starts freaking out for real
** "It's nothing it's nothing it's nothing it's nothing"
* Sees shadow ninja again, freaks out for real and tries to zap it with laser gun
* Zap gets absorbed by shadow energy thing
* Lights flicker out for a second, when they come back two more ninjas
* Get closer to agent who thinks they're going to do something to him
* One ninja reaches forward and just grabs his ID card, uses it to get into lockup
* Retrieves ninja artifacts and disappear when lights flicker again
* Leave black card-jitsu card - shadow element
====The Tunnelers Attack====
* Random button in EPF headquarters that nobody knows what it does
* Debate back and forth convincing Ed to push the button or not
* Ed pushes it, immediately gets yelled at
* EPF Tower enters "drill mode", starts drilling entire base down 200 meters
* Falls into cave system, entire building intact
* Doktor vaguely remembers something about 200 meters deep, figures it's nothing
* Movement detected outside of base (Aliens reference?)
* Doktor figures out what was so bad about 200 meters, screams about Tunnelers and to put base on lockdown
* Explains Tunnelers, creatures that can disguise themselves as penguins
** Indistinguishable from the real thing
** When changing disguise, shed original disguise like snake skin
* Cat and mouse game about few Tunnelers that entered base, disguising as other agents
* Accusing others of being Tunnelers, throwing several innocent agents in jail
Needs more development
====Excalibur====
====Return of the Shadow Ninjas====
====Hero's Journey (Perfekta Story)====
* Not-Sans and Not-Papyrus as beginning skeltal minions - unnamed, only appear in prologue to attract EPF and superheroes
* Story begins with Ed huffing down street at night, recently suspended from the EPF
* Complains to himself out loud about superheroes, doesn't care if they're listening
* Approaches a favorite cafe of his, about to enter when a masked penguin runs out followed by businessman yelling "Stop thief!"
* Ed figures he isn't officially EPF but can still stop crime, runs after them
* Runs after the penguin, (meme with Perfekta removing mask and Ed runs right past her)
* Eventually catches up and corners thief, reveals herself as Perfekta, professional thief
* Ed has literally never heard of her before, somewhat disheartening
* She says that the businessman made his money exploiting others which means she's justified
* Points out Ed was basically kicked out of the EPF, did he think arresting her while off-duty would change it?
* Ed gets frustrated, the superheroes should have been punished instead of him
* Perfekta explains her views on superheroes, offers to help expose corrupt heroes that don't do what they're supposed to.
:* "But I'm going to need something in return."
:* "And what could that possibly be?"
:* "I want information, whatever you have on a specific superhero. Silver Bullet."
* Ed is hesitant but agrees, the two will meet the next day on a nearby rooftop.
* Makes a call to Roger, asks to send him his personal files on Silver Bullet - he was studying the hero to learn what went wrong with Antilles.
:* Implies he's still going to turn her in after this is all done.
----
* Next evening, Ed is sitting on the rooftop waiting for Perfekta to arrive
* Thinks she's a no-show, gets ready to leave before seeing her grapple hook to the roof.
* Ed has a folder of Silver Bullet information, Perfekta produces a tape - footage of The Gentleman and General Gluon being jerks
* About to make the trade when those very two superheroes appear
:* "What do we have here? The shamed corrupt EPF agent trading secrets with a petty thief!"
* The two start running, Perfekta drops the tape which is smashed by Gluon - "No proof now!"
* Outrun the heroes somehow, make their way to a back alley.
:* "Well now what?"
* Ed begins to sympathize with Perfekta, gives her the document anyways
* "I think I know someone who can help. But we'll need some disguises."
----
* At Perfekta's hideout in some warehouse, both wearing EPF outfits - CP Alpha and Delta, not grey EPF Suit
:* CP is so touristy they sell actual EPF uniforms to anyone who can throw a snowball and hide from a camera
* Ed has to put on a color, says how much he hates it but does it anyways - immediately starts scratching at his flippers
* Lays out the plan, they'll infiltration the EPF Tower, reach the brig and get what they need, then escape through the hoverbike hangar.
* The two leave the wearhouse, set out for Ed's "first big heist"
----
* Arrive outside the EPF Tower perimeter, stay out of sight of guards outside the main gate.
* Ed takes Perfekta to a side water pipe, removes grate and replaces when the two were in
:* "I found this a few months ago when a skeleton made its way into base through a shower grate."
* Exit into maintenance tunnel under the tower and locate an elevator that should lead to the detention level - Ed notes nobody ever really comes down there unless something breaks.
* Ed hits a button but knows he can't use his ID - deactivated when he was terminated, if it was used they'd know immediately
:* Perfekta steps in, pries the panel off the wall and rewires something inside - lights up and the elevator arrives
* Ed presses a floor and the doors close - uncomfortable wait in silence
:* "No elevator music?"
:* "Doktor decided they'd either have Havarian yodeling or nothing at all."
* Door opens, detention level - nobody around, good.
:* "Is it always this quiet around here?"
:* "((Friday)) is movie night, everyone should be busy watching the new Snow Wars eight floors up."
* Ed knows exactly where to go, leads to Cell 4B
* Arrives at the cell, deactivates ray shield.
:* "Professor Terrible, we need to talk."
----
* "I'm sorry who are you?"
* Ed takes off the sunglasses, even though he has a different color he's recognized almost immediately.
* Ed was the one to capture him and put him here.
* Perfekta questions why they need him, he's a member of LoVE after all!
:* "His origin story is the key. He fought a corrupt superhero and won."
* Terrible says Captain Clamor deserved everything that happened, but why should he help them.
* "Because we're dealing with two new Captain Clamors, and because if you help us somebody might be able to work out a deal to help you get out of here."
* "And how do I know you aren't just going to leave me in here?"
* "Well you're just going to have to trust me."
* Says he doesn't trust Ed, but doesn't know Perfekta (Oh come on)
* Perfekta says they're trying to give everyone a happy ending - even him.
* "My happy ending died in my arms 10 years ago."
* Sighs and agrees to help - "Crookharbor."
* Ed isn't familiar but Perfekta knows
* "The city of villains."
* "Exactly! There's a penguin there who can help you, he knows the weaknesses of every superhero in Antarctica."
* "And how do we find this penguin?"
* "His symbol is an 'S'. You'll know him when you see him."
* Thank Terrible, says they better live up to their promise when this is all done.
----
* On lift to hangar level, the two know exactly what to do now.
* Door opens and the hangar is packed with EPF personnel.
* "Movie night is over."
* Start walking forward, Ed sees Doktor, Amelia, and Changed Daily
* "Head forward, eyes down, hoverbike straight ahead. Don't look at anyone."
* Ed immediately does what he said not to and looks over to his team - Amelia looks him straight in the eyes and recognizes him.
* Ed pushes Perfekta to walk faster, almost running to the hoverbike.
* Jumps on and puts in his spy phone - knows it'll be detected but the two fly away before anyone can catch them.
* Ed calls himself stupid, should have known someone would recognize him.
* Flies them to a dock a ways away from Perfekta's hideout - takes out his spy phone and pushes the hoverbike in the river.
* "I'm going to be in so much trouble when this is all over with."
----
* Next day at hideout, Perfekta knows what to do.
* Two will go to Crookharbor, but Ed needs a new disguise - a villain alter ego!
* Gives Ed a costume - suit and top hat I forget the name of from the Fall Festival
* Forces him to put on more color - "Everyone in that city knows who you are!"
* "And now a we need is a name... how about 'Sir Prize'?"
* "I don't get it."
* Get everything ready, go to super secret villain train station that isn't really secret at all
:* "Perfekta, thanks for-"
:* "Janie."
:* "?"
:* "My real name is Janie."
----
====The Interloper (Borderworld Story)====
* Criminal breaks into SCIENCE INCORPORATED and steals some high-tech gizmos
:* Scientist called in morning, no triggered alarms
* EPF on the scene, Ed rolls up on hoverbike
* Components stolen include incomplete hyperdrive meant for a future Jupiter expedition
:* "So you're telling me he managed to break in, enter the vault, and steal a 20 thousand pound piece of equipment? All without setting off a single alarm?"
:* "Yes that's right, agent"
* Review security cam footage, masked man appears to teleport into vault, place a device on the hyperdrive, and teleport out.
* Scientist says it's not possible to teleport in, vault is a Faraday cage and does not have a teleportation beacon for spy phones
* Ed questions what on earth someone would do with a piece of equipment as powerful as a hyperdrive
:* Scientist notes that drive wouldn't work on the Earth's surface due to the strong gravity well preventing it from charging, ruling out its use as a "hyperspace bomb"
* Further search uncovers no evidence leading to the perpetrator, Ed leaves a handful of agents to watch over the laboratory for the next few days if something comes up
----
* Back at the EPF Tower, Ed is still concerned
* Doktor states that only an extremely powerful device could teleport someone into a specific location like that
:* Spy phones immediately ruled out, short-range teleporters only work with a beacon to target
:* Strange radiological signatures from the lab being studied, Doktor can't quite make out what they mean and says he would need a more recent teleportation to figure it out.
* Ed scoffs at this, saying there's no way they could predict where this penguin would teleport to next
* Loud bang sound and lights immediately flicker, alarms ruing and agents say it's coming from the lockup
* Ed grabs his laser pistol and leads several agents to the lockup, opens blast doors with retina scanner
* "FREEZE!" and every agent points their laser gun at penguin inside
:* Same penguin from SCIENCE INCORPORATED, wearing space suit that looks straight out of a Planet X play
:* Gives a side look towards the agents before teleporting in a green blast with several crates
* When Ed and agents look again, only a similar blast mark on the ground
* Doktor runs in with some science gadget, scans mark along with every other object in the room
:* "These readings are incredible!"..."This explains why he can go where nobody in Antarctica can teleport to. He's not teleporting from Antarctica at all!"
----
Needs connection
* Ed on Zero's trail, nearing portal device
* Puts on hazard suit in order to gain access, points out to Doktor over radio how many phoenix markings there are everywhere
:* Doktor notes that the equipment is Ed Islandian, looks stolen
* Something in between, portal about to collapse
* Ed doesn't have time to hesitate, jumps in just as it's about to close
:* Doktor loses contact with Ed, just static.
* Ed falling through the quantum tunnel, sees brilliant lights of the multiverse.
* Ends up in the Borderworld,
Vague idea for ending sequence:
* Zero: "And now you will share in my curse, agent."
* Zero waved close to Ed's face with his green energy and pointed off into the distance. Ed looked out into the void and saw a great and terrible reality. Dyson spheres glittered in the light of a thousand stars stretching into the infinite cosmos. Terrifying fleets of incomprehensible shapes driving a knife across nebulae and a dark cloud enveloping the galaxy. He saw sights beyond comprehension and things that should drive a penguin mad.
: Most importantly, however, he saw Zero was right.
* When the vision ceased, Ed found himself on the ground terrified and with an urge to empty his stomach. He promptly did so, dirtying the floor just short of Zero's boots. Zero remained stoic, helping Ed up to his feet.
* Zero: "Now you know the truth."
* Ed didn't say a word, barely trying to comprehend what he just saw. After a long moment to regain his composure, he asked the first thing that was on his mind.
* Ed: "W-what can we do to stop them?"
* Zero: "The Shu'ulathoi cannot be stopped, I'm afraid. Not unless we prepare."
* Ed: "But surely there's something we can do. There always is."
* Zero: "Even after seeing their cosmic horrors you still have a bit of optimism. I admire that, Agent. If you stop the misguided from harnessing the power of dark energy, you may just give Earth a chance to remained undetected long enough to have a chance."
ENDING TIES INTO KERMITITY WAR! (Exit teleport lands him in Chill Island after MM is destroyed?)
====The Roast of The Ed====
* Ed faced against Dr. Screwball, mischievous member of LoVE
* Through a series of events, Screwball hosts the first official Roast of The Ed
* EPF, LoVE, Ed's friends (Chill/Penquino/Mario?/idk who else) attend, various cameo lines
* Ed wears sunglasses and smiles through the entire thing, occasionally chuckles or shakes his head
* Starts out fairly lighthearted bantz, ends up turning genuinely mean and hurtful
* Roast ends, "wow Ed you took that like a pretty good sport"
* He takes off his sunglasses, revealed to be super upset and gets angry and leaves
Needs development
* Ed discovers all of those who attended the roast were being mind controlled by Screwball
====Aleph====
Sequel to The Interloper
* Late 2019, Ed on an EPF mission of some sort
* Almost completed when something happens to him - headaches, dizziness
* Criminal gets away and Ed returns to base
* Medical check shows nothing is wrong, could have just been anything
* Next day, Ed eating breakfast when he thinks he sees Zero watching from other side of the room - disappears when Ed tries to focus
* Figures he's seeing things and goes back to eating.
* Same thing happens several times until he talks with Doktor
Needs connection
* Finally encounters real Zero who restores Ed's memory of their final encounter in the Borderworld
* Ed loses consciousness after remembering all the things that were revealed
----
* Agents Naomi and Tom looking for Ed, missing for two days now
* Eventually find Zero on a rooftop with a mysterious armored penguin - very advanced technology
* Two agents about to confront him, ask what he did with Ed
* Zero commands "Aleph" to deal with this nuisance, disappears into a portal
* Agents defend themselves against Aleph who quickly gains the upper hand, they can't seem to hurt him bc of armor
* Agent Tom tries to tackle Aleph, gets knocked out to the side
* Before Naomi could react, grabbed by clothes and dragged to edge of building
* Dangled over edge and about to drop her when something hits him from behind
* Turns and gets kicked by Perfekta out of nowhere, stumbles while still holding Naomi
:* "What did you do with Ed?!"
* Naomi takes opportunity to punch his helmet to try to break free, eventually hits something on the side of the helmet
* Helmet pieces slide back & all parties gasp
----
====Paradiso====
* Set 2041, one year after Ed retired as chancellor
===Bloodstone Story===
This idea is about 80% the reason I want to rename EDFan but I don't know to what without making him a generic forgettable name. Ideas are welcome.
* Characters:
:* EDFan (may or may not change name bc of cringe)
:* Tekla Savoyard - Princess & proper heir to Bloodstone, EDFan romantic interest (cringe)
:* Bishop Savoyard - Lord Protector of Bloodstone & Tekla's uncle, used obscure laws to steal the throne and rules with an iron fist
:* Andres Harrods - Head of the Abbey of the Rationalist, puppet of Lord Protector, good man forced to do wrong things
* Bloodstone Archipelago, 2011
* Ed Island and Bloodstone in talks for Bloodstone joining Bridgestadt Pact
* EDFan personally making trip even though an army of diplomats could do the job instead
* Takes rail car to White Tower, Castle where Lord Protector resides
* EXPOSITION, explain Bloodstone industry and culture, very dieselpunk
* Arrives with small entourage of Imperial Guards, personal bodyguards for Heirarch
* Introduced to Lord Protector - clearly attempting to act as if he is equals with the Heirarch
:* Slight insult, refers to EDFan as Kaiser before correcting himself - EDFan points out title was disavowed after "that madman invaded Osterreach"
Needs connection
* EDFan + entourage invited to a party for the evening
* Arrive and greeted by city watchman, led to 
* Introduced to several important Bloodstone figures - nobles, government, Abbey, etc.
* Meets with Lord Protector once more, notices he looks nervous
:* "You look pale, Lord Protector. Perhaps a drink would lift your spirits."
----
Random quotes to use:
* "If by 'winning the war' you mean my nation stood victorious over Antarctica in the single most powerful alliance the continent has ever seen... then yes."
* "Perhaps Lady Tekla would accept protection from my Imperial Guard for the night?"
:* "That would hardly be necessary, Heirarch, my watchmen are more than capable of-"
:* "Oh I insist, Lord Protector. A fresh set of eyes may reveal something that your men could have overlooked."
* "Of course I can marry anyone I want. It's the nobility pressuring me to marry the first Lady or Countess that I so much as look at. If I wasn't already such a controversial Emperor I could even marry a commoner if I wanted to. There isn't a soul in Antarctica who can tell me what to do."
Make a point to inconsistently use Heirarch and Emperor in dialogue - recent title change from Kaiser within the past year or so
===Determined to Destroy Us (Spy Story)===
Needs further development
* Characters:
:* Thomas Ziegler - Ed Islandian spy, protagonist, 
:* Rosemary - Puffish spy, secondary protagonist, Ziegler's eventual companion and partner

* Two keep in touch, says she will get the pilot to Ziegler to escape.
needs a connection

::* Kyber Crystals (most common), Porcyals, etc.
:* Discussion turns to the elephant in the room - Star Fortress
::* Built it right under their noses, claimed it was a "Habitation Sphere"
::* "Two days ago we received a transmission originating from this space station"
::* 
:* Some calls for an attack on it but general agreement nobody can stand up against it
::* "What can we do against that kind of firepower"
* Meanwhile off to the side, Fisch and Jaque disappointed nobody is doing anything

:* Decide they'll steal a Snoss shuttle - Hochstadt nerds know where to get one
:* All agree if nothing changes they'll leave in two days
----
==Misc Ideas==
===Shadow Ninjas===
* Super secretive, step above normal ninjas
* Shadow-based powers:
** Transform into shadows to move around, 2D across surfaces
** Control other peoples' shadows
** Shoot shadow blasts - cannot "create" shadow, must repurpose others, acts as boomerang and returns to where it was taken from
** Absorb shadows into energy
** Cloak entire areas in darkness
* Best of the best ninjas, very few in existence
* Guard the Chamber of Masters & ninja relics, destruction gem
===Chamber of Masters===
* Based on CJ party Ninja Headquarters - areas for all elements
* Acts as vault for powerful ninja artifacts
** Armor, weapons, relics, etc
** Destruction gem
* Accessible by ninjas who master all three elements
* Entrance in Ninja Hideout, amulet carving is an illusion
** Amulet with all three gems acts as key, breaks illusion and allows master ninjas to enter
* Guarded by shadow ninjas
===High Penguin Confederacy===
* Divide into early (Kuruk and Finwë) and late (Ulmag) HPC
* Early was a pretty good place, "classic" fantasy etc etc
* Late was more skewed against Lesser Penguins, feudalism and all that
* Early didn't control all of Antarctica; other small kingdoms existed which were annexed over time
