When it doubt, Ed it out

It was the next day out in E-class and all the students were changed into blue outfits, with the boys having blue jackets with blue shorts while the girls also had the same jacket but seemed to be wearing a sort of one piece swim suit.

It was still in the morning and the class was now walking outside and down the mountain, through the forest. Korosensei led the group down the mountain while fanning himself with his green striped face as a fan.

'Seriously, we know the guy can travel and mach 20 and can do all kinds of things but what's with him making so many products of himself. Its not like he's going to be selling those things.'

"Phew. Talk about healter swelter am I right boys and girls. Quite a heat wave we've got" said Korosensei as everyone kept walking with him.

"Sheesh so why are we hiking down the mountain again" asked Sugino.

"To swim maybe. The main campus has a pool, in the opposite direction" said Ritsu from Double D's phone in a cheerful way but then turned nervous after the last bit she said.

'Strangely enough, she also was wearing the same thing the girls were wearing but I didn't understand the need for her to do so. Guess she just wanted to be a part of the group. Its kind of cute, strangely enough.'

"I am afraid not, Ritsu. Besides I doubt those rude, impudent students at the school would even allow us to even look at it" said Double D in an annoyed manner. Some of the class hummed in agreement at what he said.

Eric was carrying a pail down the mountain alongside Eddy, still feeling glum after yesterday but his thoughts were stopped by Karma coming up and saying "Hey Eric. I heard you really did a number the other day with our coach and nearly did a whole step ahead of us would-be assassins. I sure wish I was there to have seen that assassination of yours. Sounded badass" in his weird manner.

'Hard to tell if he was being snarky or serious. But he meant my fight with Akira. It still hurts. I still wonder if I did do the right thing. The man ruined my life was right under my grasp but I let him get away. But why, was it because of seeing the Eds scared faces or was it..'

"Are you ok Eric" said another voice, to which Eric turned and saw Yada standing next to him. Eric caught a glimpse of what she was wearing and tried his best not to blush, but failed cause....

...she was just too cute not to blush at wearing the school swimsuit.

But he shook it off as he said "Yes I'm fine. Just feeling a bit stressed is all" said Eric, still feeling down. Yada could see that Eric was still bothered by what happened yesterday. She felt really bad for him.

Well, everyone did but her more than others. She hated that Akira was the cause of Eric's suffering. How much pain Eric went through because of what Akira did to him.

She wanted to cheer him up so she asked, "Is there anything I can do to help" in a hopeful way.

Eric could tell that she was concerned for him. He knew she was a caring person but he wasn't sure that she could so he said "I don't think there is, Yada."

Hearing that made her feel a bit down but only because she thought more on it and knew that she didn't know what could help him after hearing what she heard yesterday. But she wasn't going to give up.

Nagisa heard their conversation and knew Eric was still hurting after what happened yesterday. He saw Eddy and Double D were walking together down the hill but noticed they were missing someone.

"Hey guys, where's Ed" asked Nagisa and soon everyone stopped and looked around but saw he wasn't with them.

Korosensei began to worry until Eric said "Calm down everyone. He's right here" as he held up the pail he was carrying.

Everyone was confused by what he meant so a few of the students walked up to the pail and some of the girls screamed while the boys stepped away in panic. Sure enough it was Ed alright, but he was now a puddle in a pail in the palm of Eric's hand.

'Nice alliteration, huh?'

"Hi guys. I am a goopy mudman. Don't spill me" chuckled Ed.

"Oh my god what happened to him "asked Kimura in a panicked way.

"Oh, he's being a big baby. Once we stepped outside into the hot weather, he melted at the heat so I had to get a pail to keep him in one piece" said Eric in an annoyed tone. Everyone just sweat dropped at how Eric was being calm about how his friend basically melted away and wasn't freaked out.

Korosensei's face and body then turned red as he flung his tentacles back and forth saying "Hey, I'm the only one that should be allowed to have a liquid form. You stole my idea. That's cheating, this isn't fair" in a yelling and angry manner. That just added more awkwardness to the matter.

Korosensei then cooled down and just gave an unsteady "uh" as he turned and then said "Well don't worry, class. I have the perfect thing to take your minds off of any stress. Now feast your eyes on this" as he moved away some shrubbery and they gasped at what they were looking at.

There was a giant looking pool, created by the giant rocks in the mountain, with pool lines running through the pool. A few laying chairs with a life guard chair on the other side. And a few pool toys and floats to the side. Korosensei then outstretched his tentacles as he then said "Behold. Your very own swimming hole. Compliments of moi" in his boastful manner.

Everyone cheered at their awesome new pool and before anyone could jump in, Ed's liquid form suddenly jumped out of the pail and flew into the air and he came back down and Ed was back to his regular human shape.

"Yaaaahhhoooooo" yelled Ed and jumped into the pool. Everyone but the Eds and Eric were surprised at what they say, but then they all did the same. They cheered that they had their own swimming hole and threw their coats off and jumped into the pool.

'It's awesome when he does stuff like this. It makes him awesome and harder to kill him. Its so crazy that he does stuff like this for us but we're not complaining.'

0000000000000000000000

The class had been having fun with their pool. Yada and her friends were playing with a beachball, Eddy was trying to flex off to everyone and show that he was a fast swimmer even though he was slow, and Ed was creating whirlpools like when Eddy thought it be fun to make a giant washing machine in the lake. Needless to say, not everyone liked it.

But Kayano seemed to be bummed out as she said "Not to be ungrateful, but this is a little depressing. First of all I can't even swim. Second of all this bathing suit makes me feel self conscious" as she was holding a ball with Korosensei's face on it while looking at her suit while on a ring floater. But her complaints were stopped by Okajima saying

"Don't worry babe. Take my word for it. There are plenty of guys out there that go for your body type" he said in a creepy way while holding a big camera with a long lens.

Kayano just grew an awkward expression as she said "Gee thanks and I'm sure plenty of people find it weird you're taking photos with a long range lens."

But Nagisa was also having a tough time in the pool.

"Nagisa, oh snap" said Nakamura.

"You're a boy" said Okano.

Nagisa grew an annoyed face as he said "you didn't know that?!"

"You can't really blame us" said Okano.

But the one the was probably the biggest bummed out was Eric. He was just standing alone in the pool, still feeling down about yesterday.

'It still hurts. I know that you're suppose to get over your problems but its hard for me, ok. I just met the man that made my life hell after broke my eye and made the word "freak" forever label me. How can I move on from that when I could've gotten my revenge. But if I did, I'd no different than him. Why did I stop. I could've...'

Eric's thoughts were stopped when he felt someone lifting him into the air. He was taken by surprise as he went higher in the air a little. He looked down at the culprit and saw it was Yada. She smiled as she then fell backwards and the two splashed into the water.

Eric came out of the water and coughed as he swallowed some water down the wrong pipe. He turned to see Yada also coming out of the water and wiping it off her face as she turned to Eric and just giggled.

"What the heck was that for" he said in questioning manner.

Yada just giggled at his reaction and said "I did it to cheer you up, silly" she said in a playful manner but then her expression changed when Eric looked down at his feet. She could still tell he was in pain. She water walked over to him, and then grabbed his chin with her hand and made him look at her, which she now had a worried face. She let go of his face and said

"Eric, I'm worried about you. I don't like seeing you sad and I know that you have every right to be but we're here for you to help you through your pain" in a worried manner.

Eric knew she was trying to be helpful but he then said "I know but its just hard. You don't know what its like to labeled a freak most of your life. To be an outcast your entire life."

Yada knew he was right but she still said "Maybe not but I still want to help you. Its not healthy to keep you emotions bottled in like that. Eric, I just want you to be happy. I don't like seeing those I care about in pain" said Yada in a caring manner.

Hearing this made Eric's heart flutter a bit at what she said.

'I was someone she cared about? But we haven't known each other for very long and she already cares about me. Why....'

His thoughts were interrupted again by a loud whistle. They turned to see Korosensei wearing a lifeguards uniform in red and white stripes with a red cap on. They then saw him lift a bullhorn to his mouth as he shouted,

"Kimura. Absolutely no running around the edge of the pool. That's how accidents happen" as Eric looked over and saw Kimura on the other side of the pool.

"Oh uh sorry" said Kimura.

'You think him getting paranoid like that was bad. It was getting worse from there.'

0000000000000000000000

Nakamura were playing a game of who could stay underwater the most but then Korosensei blew his whistle again. This made the girls come up as Korosensei then yelled "What do you two think you two are doing. Absolutely no holding your breath under water. How am I suppose to tell the difference between horseplay and drowning."

Okajima continued being creepy and taking photos of the girls as Korosensei said "Absolutely no sneaking pictures" and swiped his camera away. This made him mad.

Kirara had been sitting in the lawn chairs, reading a book but that didn't sit well with Korosensei as he yelled "put down that book and enjoy the water for heavens sake"

Ed was getting thirsty so he began drinking the pool up and began to grow more and the pool water was starting to go down. Korsensei then flew next to Ed and said "Stop that right now Ed. This water was specifically made for the rest of your students to enjoy. I'm still mad about you stealing my thunder so stop drinking the water up like you're a sponge."

'Ok, that one was ok but he just kept blowing his whistle constantly throughout the whole thing.'

"Man what a pain" thought Eddy.

"I guess being a lifeguard really goes to some peoples heads. Depends if they're a type A personality" said Nakamura.

"Yeah, no kidding. Someone needs to tell him to tone it down" said Double D.

"Nuruhuhuhuhu. I've gone through a great deal of trouble to make this pool is in harmony with its natural surroundings. Proper enjoyment of it must be disciplined and orderly" chanted Korosensei as he looked over the pool.

Korosensei weakness #22: Super strict about pool rules.

"Aww come on. Don't be such a stick in the mud. You need to loosen up" cheered Hinano as she threw some water at him but all that made him do was go "EEEEKKKKK" very loudly.

Korosensei just looked to the side of him as everyone that heard the EEK grew a sweat drop at the awkward ness. Hinano then stood back as she was just confused as she said "Uh"

"Did he just scream like a chick?" asked Rio.

"That's probably his normal scream" joked Eddy to Nakamura, which she giggled at.

But then their laughter was stopped by Karma shaking the chair back and forth as he yelled "Karma, stop that. Stop it. I'll fall in. I said stop please" as he kept begging him

0000000000000000000000

He finally got off his chair and he was now acting like he just had a heart attack.

"Woah are you ok" asked Maehara.

"Dont tell me..." said Isogai but then was stopped when Korosensei tried to look cool but failed as he said

"Oh don't read too much into it class. I just didn't feel like taking a swim. Its not like my tentacles get swollen when I'm in water."

'Real subtle man. Real subtle Wait. He can't swim. Maybe this could be his most promising weakness.'

Korosensei weakness #23: Can't swim

"If you were never intending to get in the pool, why even bother bringing that kick board along" said Mimura was he pointed to the thing in Korosensei's tentacles.

Korosensei lifted the board and said "This this isn't a kick board. its my afternoon snack" as it was reveled to have a bite taken out of it.

"Naturally" said Mimura.

'Well, it was a crazy and annoying way to start out day, but what can we say. It's just our own crazy way. Oh god, I think I'm turning into Dr. Seuss.'

Up above, Terasaka just looked at everyone being all happy and just walked away "Tsk"

'Wonder what his deal is.'

Double D was calculating their trajectory while Eddy was getting impatient and Eric was starting to regret it. Double D conclude that they would land in the field behind the building but isn't sure about it.

EDventure #16 — "When in doubt, Ed it out"

It was later in the day and everyone had gone back to the school but it seems not everyone was happy today "Whaddya mean, you're glad your scores went up? You wanna say that one more time, Muramatsu" yelled Terasaka at his buddy, Muramatsu.

Muramatsu then held up his papers and said "I mean this is the highest I've ever gotten" as he remembered the event he went to last night .

"Its all thanks to that octopus's Right-before-the-practice-exam-after-school-slithery-study-session" said Muramatsu but then Terasaka grabbed his collar and then yelled "Woah woah, you mean you actually went to that afterschool slithery crap."

"Well uh..." stumbled Muramatsu until Terasaka continued to yell saying

"The slithery stuff we three swore we'd totally ignore" as he held his friend's collar.

He tried to defend himself by saying "But that's the thing, it wasn't all bad. It really helped me out" but that didn't help him any as Terasaka then threw him into the tree as he slid down to the ground as Terasaka stormed off saying "Are you kidding me. fine care about your grades if that gets you off, traitor" as he walked towards the school.

Terasaka was even more upset now that one of his own lackeys that are his friends had fallen to the Octopus. "Great even Muramatsu fallen for that you can do it BS. I don't like how everyones fallen for that Octopus hook, line, and sinker. It just doesn't sit well with me. Am I the only one with half a brain here" he thought as he continued walking in. But he still had one more friend left who he could rely on.

'Or so he thought.'

"That is awesome" said a voice that sounded like his friend Yoshida. He opened the door and saw everyone was standing around Korosensei who was wearing a motorcycle uniform in the colors of red, black, and white. He was also on what looked like a wooden motorcycle, and it seemed to be something Yoshida was happy about.

"That's crazy you even got the side flares right" said Yoshida in an excited way.

This made Terasaka's eye twitch as he said "The hell are you so stoked about, Yoshida" as he had a look of displease on him.

Yoshida could see his friend was angry so he tried to defend himself by saying "Oh well you know how we thought I was the only who was into motorcycles and everything, well it turns out even Korosensei knows about them just as much as me" as he pointed at Korosensei.

"I may be an adult but I'll never outgrow the need for speed. I've dabble in many manly hobbies for years" said Korosensei in his attempt at a manly impression. It was silly, but then again, so was he.

"Did you know this baby can hit 300 kilometers an hour. What I wouldn't give to ride the real thing one day" informed Korosensei as he got off the motorcycle and then changed out of the clothes he was in into his school clothes.

Yoshida chuckled as he said "You kidding. You could get this thing to mach 20 without even hitting the gas pedal" and hearing this made the other students laugh.

"If I had a bike like that, I'd be super fly" said Eddy in his cocky attitude.

"Yea I bet you would" teased Rio, which made Eddy not prepared for that so he blushed a little.

Everyone was happy at how things were going with their teacher and couldn't help but laugh. Well not everyone.

Terasaka had had enough of this nice stuff and just stomped over to Korosensei's motorcycle sculpture and just gave it a swift kick in the side, knocking it over.

This made Korosensei flip out as he screamed at his creation being besmirched as his blue went blue so that he ended up crying.

Everyone was shocked at this too and just looked him with faces of disbelief as they stepped in front of Korosensei as he cried in sadness behind them.

"Geez Terasaka what was that for" asked Meg in an angry way.

"The hells wrong with you" said Yoshida,

"You apologize to him immediately. Korosensei worked very hard to showcase his manliness and you just reduced him to tears" said Rio.

"Yeah what she said" said the rest of the students.

Terasaka just kept facing the opposite of them and said "You guys keep talking and all I hear is a swarm of freaking locusts" he said as he then reached into his desk for something and then turned back to the class and then said "It's time for some pest control" and then threw a can onto the ground but then something began coming out of it in the form of mist as it blew around the room and covered the students.

"What is this, a bug bomb" asked Okajima.

"Oh are we having a party. I brought crepes" said Ed as he reached into his mouth and pulled out a soggy half-eaten crepe.

"Ed. For heavens sake, put that away man" yelled Double D.

Korosensei stopped his crying as his whole body turned red as he then yelled "Thats it. I enjoys pranks as much as the next man but...." as he put his tentacles on Terasaka's shoulders but he just swatted them away as he said,

"Get those disgusting things off of me. You're a monster. You're beyond creepy and anyone that falls for your nice guy BS is stupid. That's right all of you are stupid" yelled Terasaka as everyone had their heads down or looked at him in surprise at his outburst. "Especially giraffe neck there" as he pointed at Ed.

That was a bad thing to say as Ed began to whimper in sadness as tears began to well up and out went the water works as Ed began to cry at the insult with water fountain tears and began to spray on some of the classmates. Terasaka just looked at the class in disapproval and was a

bout to turn away until he was met with a slap to the face by someone that never saw coming.

Yuzaki Fuwa.

She slapped Terasaka across the face as he stumbled a bit at the hit. He then held his cheek and said "What was that for."

Fuwa just looked at him with a disapproving face and said "That's not nice to call him names. He may not be smart but he's still a good person" as she glared at him.

"Yea, she right. What's got your jock in a tangle today. If you don't like him, just kill him. I mean that's kind of what were here for last time I checked" said Karma in his nonchalant way.

Terasaka didn't appreciate his tone so he said "You aiming to start something with me tough guy. Fine by me. From day one, I've been wanting to bash your stupid face in since..." but he was stopped by Karma grabbing his face while holding a finger to his own lips saying,

"Look you've got it backwards. You've got to bash my head in before you run your mouth. If you want to fight actions must come before words."

Terasaka didn't want to deal with him and said "Let me go. Bunch of idiots" as he left the classroom and stomped down the hall.

"Whats with him" asked Maehara.

"I don't know maybe he just does it for attention" said Isogai.

"He just has to stir things up" said Eric in an annoyed manner.

Korosensei just began to lose himself in thought as he held his 'chin' in his tentacles and began to think on Terasaka's actions. "Hmm" he thought.

Later that night

It was night time and everyone had gone home. Well everyone except Terasaka, who was standing near a small stream. He was carrying a metal container full of liquid and just began dumping it into the stream. He hated how things had turned out for E-class as he thought

"The world in crisis, students training to be assassins like we're in some sort of self improvement camp. Give me one good reason I should care about any of that. I'm not going to smile and fall in line with the herd. I do things my way. And that's why.." as his thoughts were interrupted by a familiar voice saying

"Well done. Heres your rewards" as he held out 100,000 yen to Terasaka.

"We got a lot of prep work done thanks to you. Phase 1 of my plan is complete" said Shiro.

Terasaka just smiled at the money as he thought "Now these guys have the right Idea."

"The octopus has a good sense of smell on him, and that's why we can't return to campus on our own, unfortunately. Had he even picked up a hint of our scent the game would be spoiled" said Shiro as Itona just sat in the trees, listening to them.

"Thats why we had to ask an inside man, like you, to help use set the stage for Itona to really show his potential. Ryoma Terasaka, I understand all too well how you feel. Just relax. Follow my plan to the letter and he'll be dead before you know it. We'll put E-class back to what it was before he came" said Shiro.

Itona jumped down from the tree and snuck up from behind Terasaka and said "I know you. You're weaker than the redhead fellow and that oaf who thought tying his shoe was amazing" as he just gazed at Terasaka.

"Even though you've got more raw energy and a better physique, your eyes are a dead giveaway. Theres no vision in your eyes. You see the path with least resistance. The wolf has eyes for prey, the cow has eyes for hay. One of them a killer, the other his buffet" said Itona as he began rhyming, for some reason.

Terasaka just looked at him with disbelief as he yelled "Why you little..." and almost swung at him until Shiro stopped him saying "Now now. Calm yourself. We're counting on you tomorrow" said Shiro as he continued telling Terasaka his plan.

The next day

It was the next day after Terasaka's little stir up and it was now lunch time. Everyone had gathered around their own tables and everyone was trying to enjoy their meals. The reason that they were trying was Korosensei kept crying yellow gooey stuff and it was getting disgusting to look and made people lose their appetites.

Professor Bitch was sitting with Yada and her friends and had had enough as she said "Ok can you stop. This crying business is getting ridiculous."

This seemed to have insulted him as he said in nasally way "Excuse me. For your information these are my nostrils. I'm not crying, my nose is runny"as he pointed to the difference in his face.

"How am I suppose to know that" yelled Irina.

"For some reason, my sinuses have been running amok since yesterday" as he continued wiping away his snot. But then they heard a door opening and saw Terasaka opening the door and this seemed to make Korosensei happy as he yelled

"Terasaka. Thank heavens" as he zoomed over to him and held his shoulders as he shook his body violently as he said "I had this awful feeling you abandoned our class for good" as he snot flew everywhere and coated Terasaka in his snot. This just made him more mad. He then remembered why he was sneezing so much.

Flashback

"The so called bug bomb can you set off was a canister of concentrated pollen like allergens specifically designed to blunt our foes smell. Now we move to phase 2." said Shiro.

End of Flashback

Terasaka wiped the snot off with his teachers tie as he said "Hey octopus. Its time we stopped messing around and killed you for real. Come to the pool after class. After all, we all know your weakness is water, don't we now" he said with a confident smirk and the turned to his class "Hey, its alright, You guys can come help too. You can watch while I shove him in. You can even help me out."

Everyone was shocked at how he was acting now. He was never like this as Maehara said "Where exactly is this coming from. You haven't helped with any of the assassination attempts, Terasaka. And now you expect us to be on board with yours."

"Dude, you've pride yourself on having the worst attitude in this class. Give us one good reason why we should help you" said Eddy.

He just chucked as he said "Like I give a damn either way. Hell I'd be happy to have the 10 billion yen all to myself" as he began walking away from the class.

"Whats his deal" asked Yoshida.

"I can't keep up with his mood swings" said Muramatsu.

"Well I'm not going" declared Hinano.

"Count me out" said Okano.

"Same with me. With his behavior, the plan would absolutely fall apart" said Double D.

Eric was about to agree but then saw Nagisa running after Terasaka so he went with them to see what was going on. Just as he left, Korosensei said "Oh lets all go. It'll be fun" as everyone felt soemthing sticky on the floor and noticed that his snot was covering the floor and keeping them locked in place.

"Whoa. His snots hardening and locking us to the floor" shouted Kimura.

"By showing us some initiative, we have to be supportive. Here Terasaka is ready to assassinate me. This is the perfect chance for everyone to kill and make up" said Korosensei as more and more goop began to cover his whole head.

"Why are you so gross" yelled Eddy.

'Good thing I left in time to not see that.'

Eddy tried to get out of the goop but it wasn't working. He then got an idea.

"Oh Ed" he chanted as Ed turned towards Eddy.

"The teacher just sneezed Laffy Taffy on the ground. You hungry, boy" said Eddy, as Ed's mouth then watered and began eating the gunk away.

'Well that's Ed for ya. He has both taste buds and no taste buds to eat that crap without a thought In mind'

Outside

"Terasaka, hold up" said Nagisa as he and Eric found him walking past the shed outside. He stopped and turned towards them and just said "What"

"Are you really going to kill him" asked Eric.

"Well geez, Of course I am" scoffed Terasaka.

"Then maybe you should tell everyone your plan of action" said Nagisa, but then he grabbed Nagisa's collar and said "Aw shut it. You weaklings, always cowering together, terrified to make your own move. But I'm not like the rest of you. I got a vision for killing him. A wolf has eyes for prey, a cow has eyes for hay" as he let go of Nagisa and began walking away from the two.

This just left the two in a state of worry. Where was this anger coming from.

'Terasaka seemed confident enough in his plan, but not in himself. Even his words sounded like someone else's. The wolf has eyes for prey, the cow has eyes for hay. The disjointedness of it all was unsettling and made me fear the worst.'

Later that day

Everyone had changed into their swimming gear and also had their green knives with them as most of them where spread out in new pool. Terasaka just smirked as he looked out at everyone and said "Yeah there we go. Everyone spread out in the pool just like that, nice and far apart" and he moved his arms out, emphasizing everyone to move.

"Yea we get it" said Meg in an annoyed manner.

"Who does he think he is" said Eddy, as he grumbled that the bully of the class was taking the lead.

"I have my doubts about your plan. How exactly are we going to get Korosensei in the water on his own" asked Double D, who wasn't in the water yet.

Terasaka just grumbled as he said "How unlikely is it that I can get you in the water, huh" as he pushed on Double D back and made him fall into the water.

This just made people more upset.

"Look at him, We cooperate and he turns downright tyrannical" said Chiba.

"Just like he was back in first and second year" said Mimura.

Korosensei then came walking out of the bushed towards the kids as he said "Ah I see. So I assume your plan is to knock me into the water and have everyone converge on to stab me, yes" as he then held his chin as he said "Then tell me this; how will you knock me in. Its only good sportsman's like to tell you that that pistol of yours won't make me move a single step" in a confident way but also a curious way.

Terasaka thought about what he said and looked at the gun in question as he remembered what Shiro told him

Flashback

"This is not a gun but a special transmitter that will send us a signal for whenever all the pieces will be in place. Once everyone is standing by the pool pull the trigger to tell us. We'll take it from there"

End of flashback

Terasaka dashed his memories away as he turned towards his teacher and said "Best say your prayers. You ready for this monster" as he aimed his gun at Korosensei.

"I'm ready when you are. My sinuses has even been cleared" said Korosensei in a carefree way.

"Just so you know, I've always hated you with a passion. I wanted more than anything for you to disappear" said Terasaka in an angry way.

"Yes I am well aware. After this assassination, we'll have a nice long talk, talk out our differences" said Korosensei as his face grew his green stripes, implementing that he was mocking him.

This just made him more angry as he thought "This'll wipe that smile off his face, you're up Itona" and then pulled the trigger. Normally, something would happen right now. It did, but not near them. Just as he pulled the trigger, a little beeper went off and the dam that kept the water in went

BOOM

This took everyone, including Karma and Terasaka by surprise as the water began escaping down the stream and the kids began getting swept away. Terasaka turned to the sound and saw everyone was heading down stream as Korosensei gasped

and yelled "children" and zoomed off to try and save them.

The class tried to swim up shore but the current was too strong as many of them said

"Help"

"We're getting swept away."

0000000000000000000000

The two of them heard the blast and saw that the water was starting to flow down faster.

"Surely you can't let these people drown, can you. You'll have to jump in and save them Korosensei" said Shiro

0000000000000000000000

Terasaka was in shock at what had just happened "What the hell man. No way, they never told me about this. They never told me" he panicked.

0000000000000000000000

Korosensei flew as fast as he could to try and save the students "Theres a waterfall up ahead. If they fall, they're done for" as he tried scooping them up but his tentacles were getting swollen and red.

The Eds and Eric was still in the stream and were near the waterfall until Ed swam up to Double D and said "Don't worry. I have a plan" as he grabbed Double D then began blowing air into his hat through his mouth and it kept growing bigger and bigger until it plugged up the running water and made everyone hit Double D blown up hat.

Double D just tried to hold in the air but was groaning as he said "I've been violated."

"Good job Ed" said Eric while Korosensei agreed and swooped in and tried save the rest of the students but he wasn't quick enough cause Double D began to go blue in the face and couldn't keep the air in him and soon, he let go of the air and began to deflate like a balloon down the stream along with Hara, Yoshida and Muramatsu.

"DOUBLE D" yelled Eric as he was then picked up by Korosensei and put on the side of the river. He coughed up water and saw the rest of his class going down stream so he and the rest of the class began running down the sides of the river towards the others.

0000000000000000000000

"He can't rescue them without getting wet and by the time it takes for him save them, his tentacles will be absorbing more and more water and will have become swollen" said Shiro, informing Itona.

"Normally he would use his mucus can protect them from a little water" said Itona.

"That's right itona, He can use mucus to solidify the water around him and tweak the permeation pressure but he's all out of mucus from using them so much" as he remembered all of the things they did to clear his mucus cells.

0000000000000000000000

Karma came rushing out of the forest as he looked out and saw the pool was both empty of water and the students "This isn't good" he said. He then heard mumbling as he turned to see Terasaka, a stuttering mess.

"It wasn't me, it ain't like he said. I was supposed to get Itona over here and push him in" he mumbled.

Karma just smirked as he said "Oh I get it. It wasn't your plan. You were just being strung along by someone else. A pawn in a game you don't know the rules to." Terasaka then grabbed his shoulders and said,

"Look I'm telling you, it ain't my fault. Come on you know id never sign up for something like this. I was played for an idiot. I'm not the one that swept away everyone away" but then he was punched in the face by Karma as he said,

"Hey idiot. They didn't get swept away, you did. You've got two choices. Keep making excuses to cover your ass or find a way to fix this" as he began running downstream towards his classmates, leaving Terasaka in confusion, anger and fury.

0000000000000000000000

Yoshida began to fall down the water fall but he was caught by Korosensei as he said "He's the last one, whew" as he was about to pull him up the cliff, but then he was grabbed by a tentacle and then pulled him down to the bottom of the waterfall. He hits the ground with a thump.

"Long time no see, Korosensei" said a voice he hadn't heard of in a while. He stood up and saw Itona and Shiro standing on the rocks above him "Ordinary water is bad enough but what's even worse is water treated with a chemical agent designed to slow you down. Your own student saw to it that things went swimmingly" joked Shiro as Itona jumped down into the water and grew his tentacles out again but with only three tentacles this time.

"Itona" gasped Korosensei.

Itona just kept his blank stare as he began walking towards Korosensei saying "How's it going brother. I think you and I are slated for another friendly rematch."

0000000000000000000000

Terasaka began walking down the mountain in the forest as he began to think back on how he need up here. But not just in his predicament but also how he ended up with E-class.

"I always thought I was strong. I set my sights on the weak-looking ones and put them under my thumb. That way I was sure to win" as he remembered the things he did before he came to Kunugigaoka Junior High school. He then remembered his first time coming to the school.

"But that didn't fly at this school. None of the usually tricks landed worth a damn" as he remembered the moment he realized that things were different here.

"Hey lets skip class and hit the convenience store" he said to a random student.

"No I've got to prep for English exam" said the student, turning down the offer.

"Lighten up. Skipping one class ain't gonna matter that much" said Terasaka, trying to change his mind.

"What, does the ape not want to play hooky by himself" said a voice out in the class.

"What" said Terasaka as he looked up, demanding to know who said that but his eyes widen at what he saw. No one was paying attention to him. All of the classmates were busying working on their homework and not screwing around like him.

"But at this school, no one ever caved. No one respected me."

"You've got to get with the times man. That whole alpha thing may have worked in middle school but its a different story here" said a random students sitting ahead of him. "Once you put in e class, you're nothing and no one is afraid of you as they are of that."

"You're grades have been in a downward spiral, right? You'll soon be in for a rude wakening" said the student in front of him. "I cannot wait for the day I get to hurl rocks at you down in E-class." As Terasaka began to see people laughing at him.

"Thats when I saw the reality of the situation. When I realized my tough guy act was a joke to these people, I was through. No one would ever take me seriously again. All the dweebs I made fun of, were going to grow up to be big shots and push around directionless books like me. We would be under their thumb."

"When I landed in E-class, I figured everyone was the same as so I could afford to care less, but I was wrong again. That was when he showed up out of nowhere and everything changed. Suddenly, we had one huge goal. A purpose.

"And now, here I am a lazy good for nothing chump with not future, caught up in someone else's master plan.

"Dammit" yelled Terasaka as he began to run faster down the hill.

0000000000000000000000

Korosensei was trying his best to avoid Itona but it was a lot different than their first encounter.

"He's fast and a lot more stronger than before" he said as he continued his dodging.

"We reduced the number of tentacles, focusing the power and speed in those remaining. They're easy enough even a child could control them" Shiro simply said.

Everyone was standing at the top of the water fall and were shocked at how much Itona was making Korosensei work.

"Is this for real" asked Suguya.

"That's only a foot of water. Can it seriously throw him off that much" asked Meg.

"It aint just water that's his only problem" said Terasaka, just know catching up with everyone.

"Terasaka. You've got some nerve" said Isogai in an angry way.

"Look he just saved you from drowning. He can't go all out cause he just got finished saving you all. And his attention is still divided. Look" said Terasaka as he pointed down the fall and saw his friend hanging onto the sides of the cliff, but then everyone saw Hara hanging on a branch as well as Double D but he was deflated like a ballon and was just hanging on the branch like a towel on a drying rack.

"Oh no. That branch can't hold Haras and Double D's weight. They could fall at any second" yelled Chiba.

"He can't focus on the fight cause he's too worried about saving them" said Hinano.

"I wouldn't worry about Double D. Dudes a light as a feather. If he wasn't human, he'd fit perfectly with that tree. Its Hara that I'm worried about" said Eric.

"He's right. Brainiac is as light as a feather but that fatty will be toast soon" said Terasaka bluntly.

"We've got to help her" said Nagisa.

"How" asked Okano.

"Wait a second. This wasn't you idea was it. They roped you into doing this" said Isogai.

Terasaka just laughed as he said "Like a head of cattle. That's what happens when you have sight and no vision. Thing is, if I'm going to be played, I pick the tune. I've had it up to here with these jokers and I sure as hell don't like the idea of them walking off with the prize money" said Terasaka as he then turned to Karma and said "You're a smart guy Karma. You be the puppet master and I'll be the puppet."

Karma was confused by what he said and said "huh"

"Gimme a strategy that's awesome. If you're the brain then I'm the brawn. Give me a plan and save all of them. Fatty, twiggy, and the monster included" said Terasaka in a confident way.

Karma just chuckled as he said "I don't know. Can you handle one of my plans, I'm pretty devious" he said as he unbuttoned Terasaka's shirt open and then turned back to him with a devious look and said "you might get killed."

Terasaka just chuckled and said "Oh big deal. I can handle devious. Just be sure you have a vision" as he heard Karma plan.

0000000000000000000000

Korosensei kept trying to fight Itona as best he could but he kept dodging so much, his tentacles swelled up and were now big and fat, like an actual swollen limb. He panted at how much strength he had to use.

"All right. Time for the killing blow itona" said Shiro as he was then interrupted by Terasaka jumping into the river then yelled "WHATS UP" to which Shiro replied by saying "Can I help you."

"Bet you jerks think you tricked me good real good huh" shouted Terasaka.

"Does that wound your ego. There's something to be said for being the perfect foil, my friend. Or are suddenly upset we endangered the classmates you care nothing for" said Shiro nonchalantly.

"Laugh it up, man. Paybacks about to be a real bitch"shouted Terasaka as he took his shirt off.

"Itona, you and me one on one" shouted Terasaka as he turned towards Itona with his shirt like a bulls cape.

"Don't be ridiculous, Terasaka. He's not someone you can just win against" said Korosensei as he tried to reason with his student.

"Stay out of this octopuff" yelled Terasaka

Shiro just chuckled as he said "He's tapped into his inner hero" but then grew his eyes glowed as he said "Shut him down Itona. For good" as Itona began walking towards him.

The whole class was scared at what was happening as Eric yelled "what have you done."

"Its alright. They're not going to kill us students and because we're too valuable alive. As long as we're in trouble, Korosensei can't concentrate on the fight. Even Hara isn't that bad off. If she falls, either him or Itona will catch her. It may look like he's in over his head, but Terasaka knows exactly what to expect" and just as he finished that sentence, Itona shot a tentacle at Terasaka's stomach and he held onto the tentacle for dear life.

"Tentacle boy may try and knock him unconscious but as long as he grabs onto it for dear life, then we will be ok" finished Karma as Terasaka did exactly what Karma and held onto it for dear life, even with a pained smile on his face.

"That's quite an impressive grip you got there. You held up well. All right Itona, give him another one" said Shiro as Itona pulled tentacle back, along with Terasaka's shirt. But before he could even launch another strike.... he sneezed, surprising Shiro.

"That's yesterdays shirt. The one that got a point blank range attack from whatever was in that weird spray he set off yesterday. Unless he did laundry last night, theres still some residue from whatever went off in that can of his. Thats sure to have an effect on itona so having made a chink in his defenses, the octopus can rescue Hara and Double D, or what's left of him" said Karma.

Itona was still sneezing as he saw his tentacles were now dripping wet as he heard noises and saw Korosensei had just caught Hara in one of his tentacles and Double D in the other, who was just flapping in the wind like a flag.

"You've got to love a plan that works" said Karma as he pointed to the waterfall.

"Karma, I like your thinking" said Eddy as he jumped down into the water.

"Yoshida. Muramatsu gimme a real big splash" yelled Terasaka to his friends.

They both just chuckled as Yoshida said "seriously he's out of his mind"

"Yea I like it" said Muramatsu as they both then jumped into the water making a big slash.

"Logically, the both of them have the same weakness. Easy turn the kids tactic against him and voila" said Karma as he pointed his thumb and the class began to jump into the river.

This shocked Shiro as the whole class was jumping into the river and began slashing Itona with water. Eric joined them but then he had an Idea. He grabbed Ed and told him to swallow a lot of water.

Being the simpleton he was, he did so and Eric then held him over his shoulders and then yelled "GET BACK" which made the others turn to look at him and saw he had Ed over his shoulders like a Bazooka so they knew things were about to go down.

Eric then pulled Ed's arm back and water came flying out of his mouth like a geyser, spraying Itona completely.

When Ed ran out, Itona's tentacle were now completely swollen like Korosensei's.

Karma hunched down on a rock as he said "Well that escalated quickly. Seems you have got a problem with water retention there pal." Seeing this made Shiro groan in annoyance.

"Ok so here's the deal. We're not ok with you hogging all the prize money. Or the fact that your plan involved putting our lives on the line. Slapping one of our own around doesn't fly either. So if you want to keep at this, you're going to have to face all of us and we're going to need to have a hardcore splash party" said Karma as the whole class began to gather water in whatever they could find and ready to throw it at them.

Shiro sighed as he said "Well played children. We withdraw. The slaughter of innocence was never our intention. Who could predict how his antimatter organs would react. Lets go Itona" said Shiro. But Itona just grumbled in angry that he lost.

"Well wasn't that fun time wilt away the time with everyone. And theres always room for one more. Why not join us for real this time" said Korosensei, leaving him stumped.

"Itona" said Shiro in a demanding way, which made Itona jump onto the rocks and walk away with Shiro.

Everyone sighed in relief that it was all over.

"Whew. I thought we would never get rid of those two" said Sugino as he threw his water down.

Okano looked back at Korosensei with a smirk and said "We saved your bacon huh. Good thing we're quick on our feet or you'd be a goner."

Korosensei just chuckled at what she said and said "That's adorable I still had a few tricks up my sleeve just so ya know."

Well everything seemed to cool down until...

"...That reminds me, Terasaka. In case you were wondering, I heard you're cracks about me back there about my weight. We fatties prefer the term full figured" said an angry voice, which turned out to be Hara's voice.

'If there is anything to take away from this, never make fun of anyones weight. It'll be your downfall.'

Terasaka grew a nervous expression as he felt Hara's sinister stare behind him. He turned around and held up his hands and said "I didn't mean to be a jerk. I was just sizing up the situation. all objectively like."

That didn't seem to help his case as Hara then yelled "Sizing it up?! Look here, I might be on the hefty side but I can still kick your ass" as she began stomping towards him while pointing at him. His back was against the wall of the cliff as Karma just laughed at him get scolded at.

"You really are totally tactless Terasaka. Hard to run from the wolves with your foot in your mouth. No wonder you let people wrap you around their little fingers" snickered Karma.

This made Terasaka mad as he yelled "Shut it. Why dont you get off your perch and say that to my face. You don't get to be up there, talking down at me" as he grabbed Karma's jacket and pulled him into the river.

This ticked off Karma as he yelled "Hey. I'm suppose to be your puppet master, remember" as he stood there soaked in his nice clothes.

"Don't even go there, that was a one time deal. What kind of boss would make someone take a tentacle hit to the gut. That's right, I was taking all the hits cause you don't have the balls to do your own dirty work" yelled Terasaka.

Soon the others began to join in argument.

"True, you basically just sat back and kept your distance while we did all the work" said Meg.

"I was just thinking the same thing" said Okano.

"Ah so you don't like to do the dirty work huh. Then why not take this chance to sling a little mud" said Nakamura as she and some of the class began messing around with Karma.

"We can all agree Terasaka's not cut out to be a master mind" said Korosensei, as he twisted his face around water began leaking out, "but when tasked to put someone else plan into action, he's invaluable. On the field, his confidence shines through and things get done. Its as simple as that. No self respecting assassination squad should be without him" said Korosensei.

'And he was right. Terasaka's pretty violent and hotheaded but he belongs here. He fits in well even if you couldn't tell that the first chance you meet him here. He's beginning to adjust well to our class. Me and Karma all of us really were secretly happy about that. So happy that we all overlooked something major.

Korosensei's greatest weakness yet.'

Later that day

It was the end of the class and most of the students were still drying themselves off from their splash encounter. Eric had finished first and grabbed all his gear and began to leave but he turned back to his friends and said "I'll meet you guys at the train station" and then left the building.

The remaining students heard what he had said and just from his voice, he was still hurting. Toka knew this too and knew that this would be a good chance to talk to him. She reached inside her bag and pulled something out and began to follow him.

Outside

Eric had made it past the tree outside and continued to walk while he was lost in thought.

'I know to some I might be petty or stupid for still complaining about something that happened a few days ago but it still hurts. I know the phrase, "its in the past, don't dwell on it" would fit with my problems now but I can't help but wonder, what would've happened to me had I not got my eye broke, where would my life had gone, would it have changed. Would I have met the Eds. Would I have met....'

"ERIC" yelled a voice. He turned to the voice and saw Yada running towards him. He stopped walking and turned towards her. She came to a stop in front of him and seemed to be nervous.

"What is it, Toka" he asked.

Yada was still nervous but knew that this was for him. She then took a deep breath and then exhaled and then looked at Eric again.

She came closer as she said "Eric, I can tell you're still in pain after seeing Takaoka again. I would be too after what you told us, but it worries me that you won't talk to anyone about this" said Yada in a worried manner.

Eric was surprised by this but then was about to say "Yada look i..." but he was stopped Yada saying

"No. I don't want to hear it. I want help you get better. Just keeping it bottled away isn't good for you...and I thought... that.... this would help you" sad Yada as she held out her hands and Eric saw that she had what looked like tickets in her hands. Eric was confused and asked "What are those."

"They're tickets for a carnival happening downtown and I was going to ask my other friends if they wanted to go but I figured that this would be a good thing for you to go to and get your mind off go Akira."

Eric looked at them with hesitation, but then he saw Yada reach for his left hand with her right and said "Eric. I'm worried for you. You're still bottling your emotions and I fear we might have another incident like with Akira."

Hearing this made Eric look away from her but she continued saying "I want to help you, Eric. I don't like seeing the people I care about in pain so let me help you. Let me be the light you need in your time of darkness. I know you said there might not be anything for me to do to help you but you're wrong" said Yada in a sincere way.

Eric's eyes widened at her words and was more shocked at how much she was wanting to cheer him up. 

'I was someone she cared about. Why? What reason could there be. Why does she care so much for me. Could it be....'

He then turned back to Yada and saw that she had a smile on her face like a caring mother would have for her child and it sort of make Eric's heart flutter a bit.

"So please, accept my invitation" said Yada as she continued to hold his hand. Eric was shocked at how Yada was acting. She was acting sincere around him and wanted to help him. No girl other than his mother wanted to help him. Before he met the Eds, his mother was the only woman he let into his life since he began to shut everyone out since family became freaked out at his eye after what happened to him.

But here was a girl he had just met and she was giving a ticket to someone she could've given to anyone else but she chose him instead. He never thought that this day would happen. He then smiled at her gesture and took one of the tickets.

Yada smiled that he took and then surprised him with a hug. His eyes widen at the hug and was reluctant but then embraced her by hugging her as well. They kept each other in their embraces for a while until Yada let go and then smiled as she began heading back to the class.

She then turned back around and said "I'll come to your apartment at 11:30 tomorrow and we can catch the 12 train to the carnival and we'll go from there. I expect you to be there" said Yada in playful, demanding way.

'I know that we've known each other for a few months but I didn't expect this from her. She wants to help me feel better and she gave me a ticket she could've given to her other friends but she gave it to me. She's going so far to cheer me up and I didn't even ask her. How sweet can one girl be. Here I thought I would never find a girl that wasn't afraid of my looks. Guess I was wrong that the Eds would be the only ones that didn't think any different of me cause of my looks.

Tomorrow was going to be interesting.'

{Playing Welcome Back by John Sebastian}

[Instrumentals] The opening of the ending fades into showing the old school building in the afternoon, as the sun was starting to go down.

[Welcome back, your dreams were your ticket out] The scene then cuts to show the kids of E-Class packing their bags and leaving. Eddy was asking Double D if he had today's notes, which Double D responded with a smile. Ed was packing his things, before pulling out an old piece of food from his bag and eating it.

[Welcome back, to that same old place that you laughed about] The scene cuts to show Eric exiting out of the room, only to stop when Yada ran up to him. She asked him something, to which Eric smiled and gestured for her to follow.

[Well the names have all changed since you hung around] The Eds and Eric, Yada, Nagisa, Karma, Kayano, and other students are then shown walking down the street to the train station.

[But those dreams have remained and they've turned around] The scene then cuts to show the doors of a train opening, and the kids walking out of it. They waved goodbye to one another as they went their separate ways

[Who'd have thought they'd lead ya (Who'd have thought they'd lead ya)] The view is then taken to the inside of the Eds and Eric's dorm. The front door opens and Ed runs into the dorm, followed by Eddy walking and tried, then Double D chipped, and then Eric, who closed the door behind him.

[Back here where we need ya (Back here where we need ya)] They are then shown eating dinner in the living room. Wide Eric, Eddy, and Double D ate their noodles normally, Ed slurped up all that was in the one go. This caused the others to laugh.

[Yeah we tease him a lot 'cause we got him on the spot] The Eds and Eric are then shown working on homework.

[Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back, welcome back] Just like in the intro, Eric is shown brushing his teeth in the bathroom. After a moment, he took the toothbrush out of his mouth and drank a glass of water. After swishing the water in his mouth, Eric spits it out and walked out of the bathroom, heading for his bedroom.

[Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back] Eric quickly came back in and turned off the lights, ending the outro.
