Tex in Eddsworld Part One: Overthinking

Warning: The following contains graphic content that may not be suitable for children. Viewer discretion is advised.

After our adventures in the Barnyard Universe, Toppy, Dave, Rohan, Asriel, Tex, and I were finally on our way to the Finding Nemo Universe to get the scuba mask that we needed to save the multiverse from EXE. Or so we thought. Halfway through the portal ride, everything took a turn for the worst once again.

"What's going on?" asked Toppy, as he noticed the portal start to go crazy. "Why is the portal going crazy all of a sudden?!"

"I don't know!" said Rohan, as he tried to calculate where we were going. "It seems like we are off course again!"

"But who could've done this?!" asked Dave, in horror.

"Tex. EXE!" yelled Tex, realizing who it was that did this. "Hold on, guys! It's gonna be bumpy!"

We all screamed as we were teleported into yet another world that didn't have anything to do with our mission. Then, we blacked out. When we woke up, we were in the sewers. But the problem was that we didn't know where we were in the multiverse.

"Man!" said Toppy, as he started getting disappointed. "We got veered off course again?!"

"Yes, Toppy," said Rohan, who was also disappointed.

"Come on, guys! Have faith! We will get through this!" I said.

"How can we have faith when we've been messed up in our mission twice, Kadin?" asked Dave.

"I agree with them," said Toppy. "I just feel like we're overthinking this whole thing, you know? Like in our heads, we're easily getting distracted or thinking too much about something. I don't know. I just want to get this Main Six and save the multiverse. That's all."

"Same," said Dave.

"I agree with them," said Asriel.

"Me too," said Tex.

"Count me in," said Rohan.

I was hurt that my team was lost in confidence and pride. Yes, we've been messed up in our mission twice. But it wasn't entirely our fault. Tex. EXE messed with our mission. I knew that I had to think of a way to cheer my team up.

"Think, Kadin, think," I said, trying to come up with an idea. "What is something that we all love and that always makes us happy?"

I thought for a moment, until I had the idea. Music was something that we all loved. It made us laugh. It made us cry. But more importantly, it gave us hope.

"Yep," I said. "I guess you're all right: We overthink too much and it's not making our mission go by faster. But I do have the perfect song for our situation. Tex, do you have your guitar?"

"Yes, K-Dog," said Tex, as he got out his electric guitar and began playing In My Head by 24kGoldn and Travis Barker. "Let's jam!"

So, we all performed the song together. Toppy was on vocals, Rohan was on bass, Dave was on piano, Asriel was on backup vocals, I was on the drums, and Tex rocked the guitar. With the magic of music, we were able to get out of the sewers and into the actual city. After our number, everyone felt better.

"So, Multiverse Protectors, now that we had a concert, can we get the rest of the Main Six?!" I asked, hyping my team up.

"Yeah!!!!!!!!!" said everyone.

"I wish we knew where we were, though," said Rohan.

"Wait, I recognize this place," said Toppy. "Amazing animation style, British cartoon voices, and the title literally on the sign. We are in Eddsworld!!!!!!!!!"

"Your favorite series?!" I said.

"Yessir," said Toppy, happily. "You guys are gonna love it here!"

At that moment, Edd, Tom, Matt, and Tord walked by us and greeted us.

"Guys! It's the Multiverse Protectors!" said Edd. "How are you guys?! What brings you here?!"

Toppy noticed the four walking by and immediately got starstruck.

"Oh, hello! Are you the main Eddsworld group?" asked Toppy, starstruck at seeing his heroes in the flesh.

"Yes, we are," said Matt.

"The main Eddsworld group?!" asked Toppy, getting even more starstruck than ever.

"This is the opening tune," sang Edd, doing the Eddsworld theme, before letting out a chuckle.

"It's really them! The Eddsworld Four!" said Toppy, getting super excited and starstruck.

"It is?!" said Rohan, excitedly, before he realized something. "Wait. What is Eddsworld?"

"You never heard of Eddsworld, Rohan?" I asked. "Well, we gotta introduce you. Toppy introduced me to the show recently and it is the funniest thing I've ever watched."

"We can introduce Rohan later, Kadin," said Toppy, before he shook Edd's hand. "I am a huge fan of you guys!"

"Well Top Gun, you're a man of good taste," said Edd, before he let out a laugh. "You guys must be tired. Hungry maybe?"

"Definitely, Edd!" I said. "We haven't eaten since last night."

"Then, let's go!" said Edd. "Tord and Matt know a place that has delicious pizza!"

"There is also a donut shop near this place as well, Edd," said Matt. "I mean, it's not exactly the healthiest lunch. But it's better than nothing."

"Oh my God!" said Toppy, getting excited. "We're not really gonna eat pizza and donuts with the Eddsworld Four, are we?!"

"No," said Tord. "Do you want to?"

"Do we?!" said Toppy. "Of course!"

So, a few minutes later, we were at the pizza and donut shop, eating pizza and donuts with the Eddsworld Four. I was the most hungry, so I was pretty much shoving as many donuts in my face as I could.

"Take it easy, dude!" said Edd. "You're gonna get a stomach ache!"

"Don't mind Kadin," said Toppy. "He is a really huge foodie."

"We can tell," said Tord. "So, you guys are trying to save the multiverse, huh?"

"Yes," said Toppy. "Recently, there was a mission in the Barnyard universe."

"You mean the universe where male cows have udders?" asked Matt.

"Yeah," said Toppy.

"That is weird," said Edd.

"I know," said Toppy.

"Like girl and boy cows have udders?" asked Tord.

"Yeah," said Dave. "It was gross."

"Like, do all of the animals there have udders?" asked Tom.

"I don't know," I said, as I was still eating. "I really hope not."

"Besides the point," said Rohan. "We need your help, guys. We were sent here by Tex. EXE, because he's trying to conquer the multiverse with a substance called EXE! We need to get back on course in our mission. Do you guys have a portal that can help us out?"

"As a matter of fact, we do," said Matt. "It is right here, in this pizza and donut shop. We'll take you to it. But we're gonna need you to trust.."

At that moment, Matt was interrupted by Tex. EXE, Bryden, and Aiden jumping in front of us. Everyone gasped as we saw the three psychos standing in front of us.

"Hello, you must be the Eddsworld Four," said Tex. EXE, sinisterly. "How are you?"

"Um, are you that robot that the Multiverse Protectors were talking about?" asked Matt, nervously.

"Yes, I am that robot," said Tex. EXE. "But I'm not alone. Meet Bryden Homola and Aiden Yeckley."

"We've heard that you guys were just gonna show the Multiverse Protectors the portal room in this shop to get them back to their mission," said Bryden. "Now, how is that fair?"

"Instead, why don't we make a game out of it?" said Aiden. "There's a lot of space here in this pizza-and-dounut shop area. It'd be almost like Dave and Busters."

"And if you win all the games," said Bryden. "We'll let you into the portal room."

"That is an excellent idea, boys," said Tex. EXE. "But first, we need to..."

"NO! NO! NO! TIMEOUT!!!!" yelled Toppy. "I swear, if you infect even one of these characters with EXE, I will make you feel my wraith until you rust!"

"Of course I'm not gonna infect them with EXE," said Tex. EXE. "I have great respect for Edd Gould. I'm a psychopath. But I'm not the devil."

"Good," said Toppy.

"But I will still cause chaos," said Tex. EXE, as he snapped his fingers.

At that moment, the Eddsworld Four disappeared in thin air, with Matt yelling his signature, "NO! NOT THE FACE!!!" line as he disappeared. Toppy gasped in horror, seeing his heroes disappear.

"Hey!" yelled Toppy. "Bring them back!"

"Sure thing," said Tex. EXE. "They will be prizes in each of the games you play. Now, head to the storage room of this pizza place and I'll get things started."

"Obey the rules or we'll tear you apart and eat your insides while you're still alive," said Aiden.

At that moment, Aiden, Bryden, and Tex. EXE ran away, laughing sinisterly. I got together the team to plan this out.

"OK, guys," I said. "It looks like our troubles aren't quite over yet. If we want to save the Eddsworld Four and get to that teleporting room, we'll need to play these games that Tex. EXE has planned for us. Let's head to the storage room."

"I don't care what anybody says," said Rohan. "We're getting to the Finding Nemo universe."

So, we were on our way to the storage room for the first game to save the Eddsworld Four and get back to our mission. But the first game would be chaotic.

Our new adventure is on!
