Originally, I had planned for Digimon Chrono Shift to be my first new fic of the new year, but due to certain things that still need to be worked out with chapter 1, here's the next best thing!

After reading several fics where the Eds get powers, most notably Super Eds, I thought Id give it a shot. Hope you all enjoy this new adventure!

Disclaimer: I don't own Ed, Edd, n'Eddy. All I own are my OCs. That's right, there's OCs in this. Don't like it? Tough luck bitch, I'm the author. You wanna read it? Then more power to you for showing some interest in something new.

Now then, let's get on with the show!

Prologue Chapter 1: End of Night, Start of Day

His heart pounded, each beat bringing forth a torrent of pain throughout his small frame as he half ran, half limped through the raining streets, fully aware of his pursuers presence behind him. Ducking behind a corner, he held his breath as he waited for them to run by. His patience was soon rewarded when the sound of footsteps stormed by. Though he halted once more when he noticed the tell tale shine of a flash light dangerously close to his hiding spot.

"I'm telling you, I saw him run past here!"

"You sure? It's raining out and your eyes could be playing tricks on you…"

"I know what I saw! I swear I saw that little…freak…run past here!"

There it was…

The F word…

A word he had grown accustomed to hearing during his relatively short life.

"…Come on…let's keep searching. He probably went this way."

He soon released the pained breath he held when he saw the light fade along with the footsteps as the pursuers left to pursue a target they had just unknowingly passed. Removing his hand from his stomach, he looked down and grimaced at the sight of his own red blood drenching his hand.

"My God…" he muttered, trying to hold back the bile in his throat before slowly dragging himself through the shadows, finding it harder to breath and remain conscious. He slowly staggered out of his hiding spot, clutching the wound as he limped towards a roadside rail.

"Cant…stay…conscious…" he grunted before suddenly losing his footing and falling over the rail onto a sandy shore. He could only stare up tiredly at the sky, having found his body completely unresponsive at this point.

'So this is it, huh?' he thought to himself as he could hear footsteps coming. He smiled bitterly at the darkened sky, unaware of the tears falling down his cheeks.

'I guess…I couldn't make it guys…'

He barely flinched when a blurry figure loomed over him. Bracing himself for the inevitable, he frowned when he felt no pain. Instead, he could feel himself being lifted up and saw a faint glow coming from the figure's eyes. It was at that moment that, with surprise, he recognized who it was, in his last moments of consciousness.

"Wait…you're…"

"Don't worry…"

Slowly, his energy all but spent, his eyes began to close as the figure continued talking, holding him gently and with care.

"I will keep you safe, my son…"
