".....Oh, my head.......Huh? Where am I?"

"You're back in reality, Edd. We pulled you out of Eddy's subconscious just now."

"Eddy's all alone again now. But at least we got rid of Painajainen before we left."

"Who?"

"Long story. Anyway, we still haven't find out any way to get Eddy back."

"I'm afraid that we're running out of time as well. Recent data shows that Eddy's brainwaves are fading."

"What?!? How is that possible doctor?"

"I don't know. It's as if his mind is being sucked into another dimension or something."

".......Another dimension! That's it!! Doctor, hand me a piece of paper and a pen.........Thank you..........And we'll need this............Ok doctor, please get me the supplies on this list. Ed, go to Eddy's house and all of his father's power tools. We might just be able to save him!"

"Well, I guess I'm all alone again." Eddy said as he sat on a peice of rubble. The sky around him was black and the ground was the ruins of the fake cul-de-sac, which collapsed after Painajainen disappeared. Eddy thought of his friends, and the little light that orbited around him glowed with a warm light.
"At least Ed and Double-D are alright." he said to himself. He was happy that he could help his friends get over their fears and past experiences, as well as overcoming his own. But he was alone again with nothing but his light and piles of rubble around him.
After who-knows-how-long, according to Eddy, he noticed something nearby. It looked like a dent, floating a few feet in the air. Eddy went closer to the strange occurrence. It looked as if space itself was being pulled into an unimaginable direction. Eddytook a few steps back as he noticed it getting larger and he heard a sucking sound coming from it. It turned from a dent in space to what looked like a circular void, lightly sucking in the air around it. It was growing bigger and the sucking became stronger, much to Eddy's horror. He looked at the inside and chills went up his spine. The area around Eddywas as black as black could get, but the area inside of the void was darker then total darkness. It was as if it broke the limits of how black and cold something could ever get, as if it was darker than hell. It was now violently sucking in rocks and debris around it. Eddy flew away as fast as he could only to see the void growing faster and faster, as if it was chasing him. It was pulling in the very space around it, and Eddysaw his body stretching out as his legs were being pulled in.

"....Ok, just a few more adjustments....."

"You must hurry, Edd! Eddy's brainwaves are almost gone and what's left of them indicates that Eddy's mental stress is rising."

"Ok, it's done."

"Are you sure this'll work, Double-D?"

"Not I'm not, Ed. But Eddy's mind will be gone forever if we don't try, so we'll just have to take our chances."

Eddy's foot was slowly being stretched into the void. It felt cold, colder than Eddy had ever felt before. But suddenly, the void stopped growing.

"I think it's working!"

Eddy flew and returned to his normal, short length, both to his disappointment and relief. He looked and saw the void shrinking as fast as it was growing a few seconds ago. The ruins of the cul-de-sac it swallowed returned to their normal place, and the void soon disappeared completely.

"Edd, his brainwaves are returning! You're machine worked!"

The blackness around Eddy started getting brighter. The sky was turning a deep blue while the ground started becoming green and grassy. Eddy felt something tap his leg. It was a large, basket-ball shaped sphere that looked like it was coated in sugar. It was a jawbreaker, as good as they come. Eddy turned to its direction and saw a whole mountain of them right beside him. The boy shouted with glee as he was about to feast upon the sweet, sugary spheres.

"I think we can wake him up now."

Eddy backed up from the pile slowly.

"Eddy, wake up."

Once he got to a reasonable distance, he took off and charged towards the mountain of candy.

"Come on Eddy, wake up!

He jumped fifty feet into the air, almost as high as the jawbreaker pile went.

"Wake up! Wake up Eddy!"
"...H-huh?" Eddy said as he groggily opened his eyes. His vision was blurry, but it soon cleared up. Eddy looked and saw Edd, Ed, and a man in front of him.
"Whoa, I had one heck of a dream guys." he said.
"That was no dream, Eddy. Well, it techincally was but it affected Ed and me as well."
"Yea, we went into your brain and bad things started happening to us and Jainen exploded and it was so cool!" Ed blurted out.
"So, it was all real? Well, it all happened to you guys or.....I'm confused. How did this even happen anyway?" Eddy asked.
"Eddy, you remember a few days ago I tried to make an interdemensional portal machine, right?"
"...Sorta."
"Well, when it exploded, the main component hit you in the head. I'm not entirely sure, but I hypothesize that it had connected with your brain in some way." Edd explained.
"So?"
"So, it was slowly eating away at your mind, causing it to slip away into another dimension. Your consciousness was half way into the space between dimensions. So that's why you couldn't wake up. I also believe that Jainen was a being from another dimension that seeped into your memories and fed on them. Apparently he fed on pain and agony, so he tried to cause as much of it to us as possible. This is all in theory of course, but it's the best explanation I've got."
"So, how did you get me out of it then? All I remember is this void thingy opening up and sucking everything in, then it closed and it turned into a regular dream where it was nice and I was surrounded by jawbreakers and-" Eddy cut off his sentence when he realised he had woken up from a good dream.
"You jerk! I was just about to eat a mouthful of jawbreakers until you woke me up!" he shouted in rage. He went to grab Edd's shirt when he felt a sharp pain in the back of his head. He reached his hand behind it and felt wires sticking out of the boy's cranium.
"Be careful Eddy, if I don't remove those wires properly they could leave permanent damage!" Edd said as he went over and carefully plucked the wires from Eddy's head.
"We were able to close the void and keep your mind from disappearing by using this machine. I built it on short notice, but it served its purpose and sucked your mind back from another dimension." Edd explained. Eddy was feeling a lot of emotions, but mostly happiness that he was finally woken up from his nightmare.

The three boys left the Peach Creek Institute for Unorthodox Disease and Injury for the first time in half a week. After thanking the doctor (with Edd paying him handsomely when Eddy wasn't looking), Edd and his friends walked towards the cul-de-sac. Nazz, much to Kevin's objection, threw the boys a welcome back party using the party supplies left over from the other kids' "The Ed's Are Gone" party they had a few days earlier. Despite the awkwardness of celebrating the Eds, everyone had a good time at the party. The Eds themselves were just happy they were out of Eddy's horrible nightmare. It was finally over.

Meanwhile, somewhere deep in the woods, stood a boy in a clearing that allowed sunlight to poor in. He was pale and had jet black hair with an overcoat to match. His eyes, white as snow, glistened in the sunlight as it poured upon his expressionless face.
"So, this is the real world," he contemplated to himself as he stared at the sky. Afterward, the boy known as Painajainen walked off and disappeared into the shadows.

The End
