"... How long's he been like this?"
Shapeless stared at his master. The Wizard stook on a sand dune, staring into the distance at something. For once, his hat was off-- his head was shaved bald, barely alive, but with a spark of cruel intellect in the eyes.
"Ever since we lost Shifter." Young Trump answered, putting the finishing touches on his sand castle. "Did the Wizard really know Mr. Shifter when he was little?"
"Yeah." Shapeless answered. "Back then, though, we called him--"
"He knows."
The Wizard's voice was a surprise. Shapeless quickly moved near his master for further news. "What do you mean?"
"Eddward knows he'll grow to become me." The Wizard answered through gritted teeth. "One of my enemies relayed the information to him; but I thought we had an agent in their apartment?"
"If it was the Journeyman, he would've killed Double D right off the bat." Shapeless pointed out. "It was either the Crawlers in the Dark or King Arkham's army. But I doubt he could do something that clever."
The Wizard was about to answer-- however, before he could so much as open his mouth, a blade cut through his head.
"Surprise!" Coincut exclaimed. "The Crawlers in the Dark say 'hi'!" Scumhunt, crawling behind him, gave a bubbling laugh.
"SIR!" Shapeless exclaimed in fear. "Call... for... help..." The Wizard grunted.

(OOC: Get some of Edd's allies to join in; you know, like a vengence sort of thing. Then I'll complicate things from there.)

(You got it!)
"So, the reports of his whereabouts were true.," Fletcher mused, keep a safe distance from the Wizard and his group, hunched behind another dune. "We'll have to thank Schro for the information later."
"Darn right...! Aww, DANG! Someone beat us to it!" Eddy cursed in a sharp whisper.

"... Funny... The Devil was right," Trevor growled. "Knowing that the Wizard was what Double D could've turned into, looking at him getting killed... I can't help but feel bittersweet about it because... even if the Wizard turned into a monster, if he was Double D once, then he was our friend... Like Deshwitat missed Kalutika, even after..."
"Don't quote from manga nobody knows about," King said, coming along to replace Felix, since the success to murder Masahiro's unborn child, which everyone except Double D was oblivious about, still had them split apart. "It'd be a waste of a good reference mate."

But the Wizard wasn't dead yet-- his host-body, strugging under the weight of Coincut's blade, telekinetically lifted handful of sand into the monster's single eye. Screaming, Coincut pulled his arm out of the Wizard's skull (It was dry and bloodless-- only specks of long-dead parts clung to Coincut's gold body.)
"Fuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuck!" Shapeless ranted as he tossed his coat aside, vanishing into the air. "The Wizard's body's down!" He screamed into the communicator even as he tossed it aside. "We need a new body down here ASAP!"
Trump, meanwhile, put the finishing touches on his sand-castle.
"Scumhunt! Where the hell are those reinforcements that the boss promised us?" Coincut screamed. Scumhunt merely shrugged-- if you could call it a shrug-- and was instantly punched by Shapeless' invisible fist.
"Who's winning?" Desmond whispered into Eddy's ear casually.

"Looks like those 'Crawlers in the Dark' guys have the upper ha--HUH!?" Eddy jumped aside. "What the...who're you!?"

"People we don't know... lovely," Trevor sighed.
"Actually Eddy, even though they're winning, they might still be our enemies," King said. "It's not so much good defeating evil so much as it is one part of the competition getting wiped out."

(OOC: More or less; anyone with a grudge against the Wizard or on his side can join.)
Without an answer, Desmond grabbed Eddy by his throat. Desmond's hand was like a scrapyard-- rough, seemingly made of random components. His only clothing were a pair of navy pantaloons and a blue hood. His entire torso was as robotic as the arm holding Eddy, and the upper right corner of his face merged with it in a disgusting mechanical conglomerate. A green eye, round and cruel as the moon, stared at Eddy.
"Hmm... super-speed and fire again, eh? No problem." Desmond muttered calmly. Things like bugs crawled in and out of his mechanical nooks, though he seemed unfazed by this.
Behind him, things began to crawl out of the sand...

A blast of blood red, buzz saw shaped energy shot out at Desmond's hand. "Put the midget down..." ordered a "person" from underneath a cloak. He was holding what appeared to be the hilt of a beam saber and had cat ears sticking out of his hood.

"More people we don't know?!" Trevor yelled, pulling out his swords.
"Rejoice!" King said, pulling a gun out and firing rounds at Desmond's torso. "He's on our side, it seems! Unlike this freak who's hurting Eddy."

The bugs on Desmond's body suddenly took flight, swirling around and blocking him from the attacks. After absorbing the impacts and collapsing to the ground in immobile heaps, Desmond stared at his two new foes with his still-living eye.
"You'd dare attack God?" He asked, a sinister undercurrent to his voice. As is in response to his question, a huge, metallic hand sprung from the desert ground, making a grab at King. More beings followed it-- dozens of huge, robotic, ape-like creatures, their eyes shining with a centuries-old intelligence.
"01001011011010010110110001101100." Desmond said, opening his mouth and letting out the string of numbers in a quick buzz. The creatures' eyes flashed in understanding and they trudged towards their enemies slowly.

"GACK!-----ACK---!!"
Suspended in Desmond's death grip, Eddy was dropped roughly when the being collapsed. Looking up, he saw the bugs and robotic hands, jumping back before one of them grabbed his ankle. "WAGH!"
Fletcher growled under his breath, sliding his revolvers out of their holsters. "Fantastic."

"Please, robotic monkeys?" asked the hooded figure. "I could kill those in my sleep." The energy returned to him in the shape of a blade as he bolted forward at the robotic... things.
