Gangs of Edtropolis

(A/N) I don't own Ed, Edd or Eddy blah blah blah...

Prologue

After the events of Urban Ed, once the card board city had been knocked down and Eddy left penniless as usual, the Eds had rebuilt the city in a different location, further up the creek and in the forest. Edd, not wishing to upset the environment, had designed and built two arcologies (a large building/ city that functions by itself and hold hundreds of people).

The arcologies were originally just built as giant clubhouses for the Eds, but when the other kids offered to pay large amounts of cash to hangout in the arcologies, Eddy couldn't resist. The arcologies were like pyramids and had an Egyptian theme. Edd built 30 floors that had been left empty into living quarters and allowed the other kids to live there, as long as they paid their rent to Eddy. Within a year the news of the arcologies had spread all over the world, kids from all across North America flocked their to live in these modern hi-tech paradises. Eddy saw this opportunity to get rich.

He said that to become a citizen of the arcologies you had to pay a large rent and pass a difficult test. With hundreds of people flocking to join Eddy, Edd and Ed earned a total of $600,000 each.

Most of the members were runaways who had stolen the money to join. The arcology offered many jobs to anyone willing to work. These varied from maintenance workers to doctors.

In total the arcologies had 200floors, as follows...

FLOOR 1:(Underground) Maintenance, all the sewage pipes and stuff.

FLOOR 2 : (Underground) Generator, the battery that stores all the power collected from the solar panels and distributes it.

FLOOR 3 : Entrance, this is where you are welcomed into the arcology and have to show your citizenship papers.

FLOORS 4 to 69 : Low class housing, this is were the people with just enough money to pay the rent lived.

FLOORS 70 to 129 : Middle class housing.

FLOORS 130 to 169 : Business level, all the shops and other businesses were on this floor.

FLOOR 170 : This is where the famous night club, Sacs, is. Only high class citizens are allowed in.

FLOOR 179 to 189 : The high class, expensive, housing was located here, they had their own shops and businesses.

FLOOR 190 : This is where Ed, Edd and Eddy's offices where. From here they could see all across Peach Creek for miles around.

FLOOR 200 : This is where E,EnE slept. Eddy's room had the secret door that lead to the vault that contained all the money.

The arcology had been in business for 2 years and gained a global reputation. The Eds were among the richest people on Earth. Eddy, the self proclaimed leader of the arcologies, had grown a reputation as being a ruthless businessman and capitalist. Edd, the brains behind the whole system, had become a person disconnected from the outside world, he spent most of his time locked in his office, developing budgets and theories. Ed had gone mostly unaffected by his rise to power, he spent a lot of time wondering around the lower levels of the arcologies talking to people.

In the arcologies' third year a war broke out.

The citizens of the lower levels rebelled against Eddy. They refused to pay the high rent levels that he demanded. With the help of Ed they claimed the 2nd arcology for themselves. The supporters of Eddy moved into the 1st arcology. Since then small skirmishes have broken out in between the to buildings with casualties adding up to 132 deaths total. Small gun battles broke out on the lower levels between EAC supporters and the Arcology Republic police. A bomb exploded once, blowing up three homes, a coffee shop and caused a cave in crushing 21 people. The explosion happened in neutral territory, and each side blamed the other, this led to a total of 30 arrests by AR police on ECA supporters. This ended in the largest battle yet.

It happened in the main hall on the 15th floor, AR police were arresting a shop owner for being an ECA supporter, but a rebel was nearby and shot the police. The floor was evacuated and AR police came down and began a fire fight that lasted 24 hours and killed 93 people, both ECA and AR. The ECA won the battle and began to claim more floors. Until Eddy granted freedom to ECA and allowed them to own the 2nd arcology.

The two arcologies became totally different in government. The one owned by the poorer people, the Equal Chances Arcology or ECA, is led by a government of 12 members who make decisions for the people, wealth is more evenly spread out, but the people are poorer generally.

The other arcology, led by Eddy, the Arcology Republic, was dictated by Eddy with the help of his advisers. The AR was very rich and had it's own army, many believed this to be a sign of future trouble.

Edd had disappeared off the face of the planet. No one had seen him since the Divide, the series of attacks that ended in the splitting of the arcologies...

The arcologies had been born, populated, had fought and split in the last 3 years. Edd watched from his isolated room...
