### Supply run in CN City

The episode starts off with The League of Ed-venturers in Genius Grove with the Padawan 6, Gabby, and Terramar along for the ride. Where they are at Dexter's home picking up some equipment Dexter is lending to the Republic. Dexter is very happy to have somebody recognizing his talent and is putting it to good use. As Edd is glad he's willing to share it. Once the last machine is loaded the Eds are about to set coordinates for the Jedi Temple but Gabby asks if they can see their Cul-de-Sac. both Edd and Ed are happy to show them their old home, while Eddy is rather against it at first, but he decides to allow it. (since he has real friends on his side who are willing to stand up for him). But Grace and Ocellus voiced concern of doing so, as she brings up how Kevin and the others tried to keep them from leaving the Cul-de-Sac when Red Sea first wanted to bring them to the Council. But Mrs. Calloway is about to assure it will just be a quick visit and they'll head back. Before adding how having other Jedi on the ship will give Kevin a reason to not try anything stupid. As Eddy flies the *Flyer* to the Cul-de-Sac.

### Visiting the Cul-de-Sac/Ed's betrayal

After a short flight, the *Flyer* lands outside the Cul-de-Sac. As everyone steps out, the majority of the younger cast are impressed with the Cul-de-Sac, Gallus and Smolder both voice understanding of why Eddy hates it so much. As Gallus says the Cul-de-Sac makes Griffonstone look like a luxury stop. As Smolder shares the Dragon Lands are much more roomy and sightful. While walking down the street, Eddy starts to bring up about the Retro van in the junkyard. Leading Sandbar to ask if it runs, but Edd explains it doesn't but its horn still works. Which Gabby suggests they should pick up the van and try to restore it in the future to have a party van. Eddy is fond of the idea. But they are rudely interrupted by Kevin passing by on his bike. Asking if they came back home but Mrs. Calloway shares they are only having a short visit as their friends wanted to see the Cul-de-Sac. Kevin thinks they're messing with him on friends but sees the younger cast with them. While he's annoyed to see more "bird horses" he is gobstopped to see gryphons and a dragon with them. Before eying Yona and Sandbar, but upon eyeing Ocellus he's confused about what she is, before guessing she's a bug horse. Which Ocellus is hurt from, as Sandbar explains to Kevin she is a changeling and doesn't like to be called anything related to bugs as it brings up bad memories. Kevin then decides to not bother the group anymore and rides off, before calling the Eds dorks again as he leaves. With Gallus questioning his choice in insults, finding "dork" is rather dull for an insult. Bringing up several that was thrown at him in the past.

Then the group is addressed again, this time by Rolf. where he greets the Eds, sharing he's surprised to see them back but gets to the point of him coming over to them as his instincts told him an animal of the old country was present. Which turns out to be Yona, as Rolf is talking a good look at her. Where he says she is a lot like most of the yaks from his old home which Yona takes quite nicely. Then Rolf heads back to his work, as Yona shares she likes Rolf, while Sandbar asks what old country Rolf's referring to. Then Nazz comes up to the greet the Eds, saying it's nice to see them again. Before noticing the others and politely introduces herself to them as Silverstream greets her back unfortunately, before anyone else can greet Nazz next, Ed's name is called out. By an unpleasant, familiar voice. Which turns out to be Sarah with Jimmy tagging along. As Sarah tells Ed that she needs him to do something for her, before noticing the new individuals present. As she greets them "nicely" but no one is buying it as Smolder asks Sarah if he's Ed's sister which she confirms as Smolder claims she's heard a lot about her. But Sarah ignores this and orders Ed to help her with some things. Before Gallus tells Sarah that Ed isn't going with her, they are only visiting. But Sarah continues to boss Ed about, as Ed is about to go, Mrs. Calloway tells Ed to not listen to her, saying he is only in CN City supply run, not to go back to doing his life style in the Cul-de-Sac. Sarah continues to boss Ed, threatening to tell their mother on him. Ed is about to go, but Silverstream tells Ed to not listen to Sarah, as she's trying to manipulate him, he needs to stand his ground. (while that happens, Gabby unclips the retention strap on the holster for her blaster pistol as she grabs the handle to it) But Sarah, giving into her spoiled brat attitude continues to order Ed, as Edd tries to intervene only to receive a punch from Sarah, sending him slamming into the grass as Ocellus goes to check on him. As Silverstream tells Sarah that wasn't nice, as she earns a smack from Sarah, sending her to the pavement, scuffing her arm. In tears, Silverstream looks at Ed, while Ed is more torn between his real friends and Sarah, Sandbar tells Ed not to give in, as Sarah is only gonna make things worse for him. While Gabby started sweating in worry as she continued watching the exchange. But Sarah decides to pull an evil move telling Ed to remove the obstacle in front of him as she grabs one of his blasters, putting it in his hand and orders him to shoot the group. As Grace tells Ed not to, since his blaster is more lethal than the average one, he could seriously hurt someone if he does shoot anyone. But, driven under fear of Sarah and his parents, starts to shakily bring up his pistol at Silverstream as the hippogriff in question stares in shock and horror, with tears still streaming down her cheeks. Now flowing harder. As Gabby's eyes widened to see Ed point his blaster at Silverstream. Even Jimmy (in a rare moment of seeing his best friend's demonic nature) is disgusted by it and tries to reason with Sarah only to shut up when Sarah orders Ed to do it. Ed is in tears now, Gabby finally stopped holding her tongue and ordered Ed to stand down, or they will act in defense. But Sarah continues to goad on Ed as his raises his pistol, ready to fire. Leading Ocellus to order him to stand down again saying Sarah is only trying to take advantage of him. (while her horn lights up as unclips the strap securing her blaster rifle in the scabbard on her back). Sarah goads again, grinning with pure evil as she threatens to tell their mother again, Ed gives in and responds to her, and goes to fire at Silverstream, but Gabby quickly drew hers from the holster and shot Ed's blaster out of his grip, inadvertently grazing his right thumb. Ed yelped in pain, grabbing his right hand, he then turned and was shocked to see an upset Ocellus pointing her blaster rifle at him, as she fired a stun shot. After Ed collapsed to the ground, Sandbar quickly jumped on him and put his hands in binders.

Sarah then angrily yelled at them, leading a now enraged Smolder to draw one of her revolvers and point it at Sarah, cocking the hammer as she did. Smolder then scolded Sarah for making her brother try to hurt one of his friends. Telling her she is a terrible excuse for a sister, bringing up her relationship with Ember. While Sarah tells her that Ed is her brother, but Sandbar brings up that even if Ed is her sibling, she has no right to boss him around. Stating she's only her younger sister, not his mother. While Yona adds in she doesn't even treat Ed like a real brother. She only takes advantage of his ignorance and makes him do tasks for her, since she is clearly too lazy to do it herself. While Ocellus angrily adds Ed is her brother, not her slave, letting out a rare changeling hiss. Sarah gets even more enraged, and prepares to attack the group, only to jump back in shock as Smolder fires a warning shot at her feet. Then drawing her second revolver and cocking it, Smolder states the next shot will *not* be a warning shot. Then Gabby joins in, pointing her blaster at Sarah, letting out a lion snarl. Then Gallus also joins in with his Blaster pistol, growling. Then with a snarl, Gabby ordered Sarah to get out of their sight. Jimmy (who was getting increasingly scared from seeing cute mythical creatures show a ferocious side in front of his own eyes) is of course quick to comply as he's smart enough to not anger a dragon and a gryphon (since he knows what they are capable of). As he runs away, pleading to not be hurt and frantically apologizing. But Sarah arrogantly stands her ground and yells at them, stating they can't tell her what to do. This, however doesn't scare the 2 Gryphons and Dragon a bit. Which leads the 3 of them to let out a ferocious, loud roar in her face. In turn, this *does* scare Sarah who slowly starts to nerviously back away from the group, but Smolder isn't done making the point across, as she fires at Sarah's feet. As she jumps in shock, then Gallus fires his Blaster at her feet, then Gabby joins in, telling her to dance. Sarah is now jumping wildly at the blaster bolts hitting the ground in front of her feet. Where Smolder screams "**GO AWAY!!!**", and this time, Sarah does listen and runs around screaming with bullets and blaster bolts following her, hitting the pavement, sidewalk, and the grass just behind her feet before she is finally out of sight. Before Gabby shouted: "**I GOT MORE WHERE THAT CAME FROM, YOU LITTLE DIRTBAG!!!**". As the three reholster their guns, Ocellus tells Mrs. Calloway she wasn't kidding about the way Sarah is, before saying she's not a simple spoiled brat, but a monster. While, Smolder claims Sarah is a demon. Before Gabby says she's a demonized monster. But then everyone turns to look at Ed. Edd is staring at Ed in tears, asking why he listened to Sarah as Ocellus helps him up. While Eddy gives Ed the cold shoulder, calling him a back-stabber, clearly angered by his betrayal. Grace is confused on why Ed would wanna hurt Silverstream just because Sarah told him to. Silverstream gets up, staring at Ed, with tears still streaming down her face, hurt and betrayed. Noting how he almost shot her with his blaster, before collapsing to her knees, now unable to hold back her tears anymore as she starts crying. Nazz feeling sorry, sits next to Silverstream, petting her mane in comfort. She even lets out a few tears of her own, but more for the fact Ed was gonna hurt a friend to him only cause Sarah said. Later, the gang are back at the freighter, as Nazz is seeing them off. Before sharing she'll tell Ed's parents what really happened to ensure Sarah is rightfully punished for her actions. Before apologizing about their visit being ruined. But Sandbar says its nothing as it was out of their control. But thanks her for her hospitality. As Nazz gives her good-byes and leaves. Before everyone boards the freighter, Yona sets Ed on one of the crew quarter beds. Where Silverstream is still crying as she's buried herself in Grace's chest, as Grace has her in a embrace. While Gabby and Ocellus are talking about what happened, as Terramar asks what they will do about it. While Eddy gets the ship prepped for takeoff, Mrs. Calloway states they will deliver the equipment to the Temple first and then go straight to Hippogriffa to report what happened to Novo. Silverstream is surprised to hear this, asking if it's nessicarily, which Edd says it is, since he, Eddy, and Ed are her Padawans, it is the right thing to tell her the truth of what happened. As the *Flyer* lifts off the ground, Terramar words hope Novo will go easy on Ed. As the *Flyer* takes off.

### Back in Hippogriffa/Novo's Decision

Sometime later, Ed finally awakens, and is surprised to find binders on his wrists. Before seeing the others on his left, as he then sees he's in Novo's office, but then when he looks to his right and sees to his fear, a very furious Novo looking at him with deep disappointment. As Novo says she considers herself a very clear queen and Je'Daii master. Where she sets certain rules and guidelines and expects all to follow them, as she states to Ed that he knows this. Before asking if he really almost shot her niece only because his sister told him to. Ed admits he did, and is immediately sorry at once but Novo is not finished yet, moving to scolding Ed for what he did as *she* is the one who has him do tasks as her padawan, not his sister. Before adding that Sarah has no power over his life, since Red Sea took them in at the start. And she will not control his life if he doesn't let her as Novo then walks over to the window, saying she had no words to describe how upset she is with him. Adding that because he was gonna shoot Silverstream, *her own* niece, and bloodline; it means he has offended the Royal Family of Hippogriffa too. Ed is now in tears, saying he's sorry for what he did, and how he is a moron. But then Novo walks up to him and has him look her in the eye, before stating that he could've told Sarah "no" and not gave into her selfish, spoiled brat ways, but since he didn't it has left her to question if he's worth to continue training. Then adding, if he is gonna to listen to his sister instead of thinking for himself then she'll have no choice but to send him back to the Cul-de-Sac. Silverstream is horrified by this and races up to her aunt, and hugging her, begs Novo not to send him back as he'll only be mistreated more. Novo then embraces her niece and then says in a more calmer motherly voice says she won't send Ed back right away, but will allow him 24 hours to think of a decision of where he'll stay, cause in the end it's *his* choice and *his* alone. As she tells Ed, that he has 24 hours to decide and she expects an answer by 9am next morning which he agrees to, before she leaves for one of her daily massages, saying she needs one badly now. Not before ordering Rax to remove the binders on his wrists. Which the droid complies.
