It had been days, and the headaches would not go away. His head was throbbing from the pain, and his stomach hurt from his constant intake of pain killers. Of course, Edd was trying his best to ignore this, and continued on with his daily tasks. Plus, it was movie night with Tom and Matt! He was already pouring the kernels into a bowl, so why stop now? He still had to get the other snacks ready, bring out a couple options for movies to watch, and...
Edd’s palms became sweaty, and he could feel his blood pressure increasing. His skin became pale, and his legs felt like jelly. He looked down at the bowl of corn kernels, trying to keep hold of the bowl despite his numb muscles. Suddenly, one of the kernels...popped. Soon enough, all of the kernels began to pop in the bowl, causing Edd to drop it in a panic. He leaned back on the couch behind him for balance, but the fabric was sizzling under his hands. His vision began to blur as he fell onto his knees. “H... Help...” He fell forward, landing on the ground with a loud bang.

“Tom, is the camera ready yet?”
Tom gave a thumbs up, adjusting the angle of Edd’s phone. He aimed it upwards toward Edd, pressed record, and nodded.
Edd smirked. He was wearing very strange and out-of-place clothes. He wore a grey shirt with a yellow lightning bolt logo over a green circle. There was a cape of the same green color wrapped around his neck. He wore green shorts with what seemed to be dark grey tights underneath. His feet were hidden in his green boots and his hands were stuffed in yellow gloves, matching the color of the lightning bolt logo. To top it all off, he wore a green eye-mask over his face to try and hide his identity. Was... Was that his old PowerEdd suit?
Edd spun around, pointing at the camera with a big stupid smile on his face. “Hey, Eduardo! Or should I say...Numero Uno! This is my call-out to you for a rematch! You and me, one-on-one, in that big crater we made!” In the pit. “If you beat me, I’ll order a life-supply of...diet Coke...and drink it.” He cringed at the thought of it. “But if I win, you have to be my side-kick. In other words, second place.” His smirk grew into an evil-looking grin. “Until then, come find me here. I’ll be waiting~”
He blew a kiss to the camera and flew upwards, out of sight of the film’s view. Edd made some figure-eights in the clouds and looked at the view. The sun was so bright up here, and it reflected on the water in the distance. The city below him looked so small.
...so helpless...
...so...pathetic...
Edd cried out, his head suddenly throbbing in pain. Another headache? He felt something drip from his mouth, and he felt like his eyes were swelling up. He wiped his lips and rubbed his eyes, looking down at his gloved hands. There was a glowing green substance covering the end of his fingers. It started to melt into his rubber gloves, though he quickly panicked and shook his hands around to get it off of him. Was that radiation?!
That’s when the coughing started. He felt like he was going to vomit. He watched the neon green substance splatter around him and fall as he practically hacked up his lungs. He was about to float down to the surface in case it was lack of oxygen, until --
His muscles started to tense up. He could barely move. Edd looked down at himself as the green substance leaked from his eyes and mouth. It felt like burning acid. From what little skin he could see between his shirt sleeves and gloves revealed that his veins were becoming increasingly visible. He watched his once blue veins start to turn a faint green. Soon enough, he cried out as his vision was consumed by a bright green color.
Down he went. He fell fast back to the surface, crashing into the ground. The grass and plant life around him burned to a crisp, only for their ashes to become frozen solid.
