~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"So long,old friends!"said the Norwegian man,who had a shit-eating grin on his face.He controlled his giant robot to salute,as he started the engine and began descending towards the sky.Edd and Matt watched,dumbstruck,as they stood there helpless to stop him from taking over the world.

"I AM NOT YOUR FRIEND!"Tom yelled in a battle cry,emerging from a pile of debris,his face smothered with burning anger.Pulling the machine,he fired a harpoon into the sky.Edd and Matt watched in awe,both hoping the harpoon would pin Tord down before he did any more serious damage.

"Uh oh..."Tord muttered,watching the harpoon soar towards his direction.Luckily,he quickly moved away and chuckled.Tom's smothered anger soon changed into shock.

"B-but I had the perfect aim......"

"Hah!You missed!"The Norwegian replied cockily,his lips twisted up from a shit-eating grin to a Cheshire grin.Tom's smothered anger returned,as his eyebrows furrowed and he grit his teeth hard.

"Goodbye,old friends!World's not going to take over itself!"Tord called out,before being quicker than a flash,he faded away in the sky.

Edd and Matt both rushed over to their other friend,with Matt carrying Tom by one arm and Edd by the other.Tom had been injured,as his right arm kept bleeding.He still looked unhappy and kept looking out in the sunset,even though the traitor was long gone.

"Tom,it's okay.You did your best.At least you're safe."Edd replied with a smile,but you could tell that even Edd,the optimist,as unerved by what Tord had just did.How you could tell was that the man's voice quivered a little as he spoke.

"I could've pinned him down!I could've stopped him from doing whatever he wanted!"Tom exclaimed,his words heated with hatred."He betrayed us,and I swear one day he's going to get what he deserves."

"Sh..."Matt hushed Tom,pressing a finger on his lips."Let's go home.We'll get him one day,but now I want to go take a nap.I'll destroy him with my pretty face and makeup,but not today."He struck a pose.

Edd giggled."Classic Vain Matt."Even Tom chuckled a bit,as the two hauled their injured friend home.

That was ten years ago.

Now,ten years later,Tord,or as he preferred to be called,'Red Leader' sat down on his chair in his office,twiddling around.Oh how he missed his old years.

He was young and greedy when he made the choice to join the Red Army.He had thought he could claw his way up as the first in command,which the Red Leader succeeded in doing.All his soldiers were brave and loyal,but none of them meant anything to him.

Then he tried attempting to take over the world.Red Leader had an ecstasy about everyone bowing down for him,worshipping their 'king'.How he loved to have an iron fist,clamped around the power he held.

So the Red Leader snuck back to his old house,but not without encountering his 'old friends'.He had never cared for them or felt true friendship,being the selfish fool he was.Red Leader was also a lying fool too,as he told so many lies.Just like the old times.....

And indeed it was like the old times,just with a twist.After Tord got that robot,he would never,ever be coming back again.

His plan succeeded,and he soon with the Red Army destroyed many cities,killed innocent people,and spread a plague of fear everywhere they stepped.Red Leader still loved being in control,but less now,as Edd's words haunted him.....

"But I thought we were friends!"

And his response was:

"What would I need friends for?I'm unstoppable!"

Yes,he truly was unstoppable.Yet without friends,he felt a pit in his throat,a strange feeling called loneliness.Something he had never experienced before.Tord did not admit this,and he continued being the arrogant dictator in his army.

Then he finally managed to do it.He took over the world.Great.But there obviously would be rebels against him........

So then there was the 'Green Army',which they preferred as their alias.They were led by known other than Edd and once Matt and Tom,until the Red Army had captured them and they were now under his control.Now there ceased to be no more of the Green Army,as Edd had recently disappeared into a different dimension and his army had disbanded,some killed from fighting each other about who should be the new leader of the rebel band.

So that was great.No more rebels to get into his way.

Red Leader hated what was on the top of his list of what he wanted.It was no longer power,or control.Now it was friends.He had told Edd that no one needed friends when they were unstoppable,but he wanted someone to rely on,to care for him.And he lost all that with his stupid decision.So perhaps he was still selfish,wanting a person only to rely on and care for him.

So then he began locking himself in his room,only darkness surrounding him.His only thoughts were out of pure regret and self-pity.He stayed in his office at times,because he had to fill out some boring paperwork.He hated being a tyrant,but it's not like he could just quit without consequences.

Red Leader wanted friends....so he had to force a certain two British men into being his.Tom.And Matt.He had his best scientists program a microchip in their brains,turning them into the perfect,bravest soldiers that anyone could ask for.But the scientists couldn't redeem the two's aspects of their own unique personalities.They sort of became robot servants,talking with no emotion and obeying every command.Nothing like friends.

He hated this,but he needed to have company.The two usually stayed around in his room with him,or out serving duty if he wanted them to.

So today,March 17,2027,ten years after Red Leader had earned his lucky streak,he heard a knock on his door.He sat up from his bed,and muttered,"Come in."

One of his soldiers,a pale man whose name was Dylan or Derek walked in.He bowed down."Red Leader,good morning.I'm sorry if I interrupted your sleep,with the kindest apologies."

"You did."He snapped with fake emotion.Red Leader had to act mean and strong,so they couldn't find out his insecurities."Now,quickly tell me why you have come to bother me at such an early hour."

He stood straight."Sir,Edd's location has been found.He has stolen one of your time machines and went back to the past,about roughly 15 years ago.I suppose that his mission is to kill you, to make sure you never existed,but Pilot Patryk has encountered him and Edd says he's going to kill himself."

Red Leader nodded solemnly."Alright.Send Matt and Tom to confront him.He is to be brought back alive though.You are excused."He made a dismissal hand,as to say,"That will be all."

The soldier said,"Yes sir."He bowed,then exited out of the room.

Red Leader sighed.Guilt shrouded inside of him.Was it his fault that Edd had turned suicidal?It probably was.He sighed and burried his face in his lap.

He became a monster.A terrifying beast who had no one to love,and nobody loved him.Red Leader was not surprised to find hot tears seeping down his eyes,running down his cheeks like a river.

This was all his fault.

Oh how Red Leader wished he wasn't the 'Red Leader' anymore.He wanted to go back being Tord,the trigger-happy man who had it all.The perfect lifestyle.Hope.And most importantly,friends.

So there was only one way to escape regret and melancholy.No one would miss him if he was gone,right?This would hardly make a difference.He took a deep breath and shut his eyes,then quickly did the deed.His final thoughts were if that Edd had misfortunately died,he could make amends with him.

The only traces he left behind were a note and his dead body.

-------------------------------------------------

He opened his eyes to discover he was in a field of yellow wildflowers.The man chuckled softly to himself,this place reminding him of his old childhood home in Norway.He was still shocked that he hadn't ended up in hell,a place where he thought he deserved to go.Today he supposed that God was feeling merciful and gave him a path to what appeared to be heaven.

Red Leader looked around,and saw that in front of him was his old cabin home,a place filled with so many memories,most good.Feeling a bit scared,he entered inside,wondering what awaited him.

The living room was dusty and rusty,just the way he remembered it.He sat on his couch,and sank into the comfy feeling of home.Even the air smelled strongly of beer.Red Leader grinned,nostalgia haziness in his mind.

He relaxed there for a bit,until he heard a soft,familliar voice call out,"Tord?"

He quickly turned arounding,facing who was only his old friend,Edd.He blinked back the choking regret stuck in his throat,and managed to squeak out,"......E-edd?"

God,the shorter man actually looked INTIMIDATING to big bad red.Edd looked different than the last time he had seen him,the ragged middle-aged man was now back as a young adult,and perhaps that was the happiest time of his life.He could agree to that as well.The only thing different about Edd was that he had angel wings,a halo,and an aura of kindness.

The thing that shocked Red Leader the most was Edd's genuine,kind,forgiving smile.

He opened his mouth as to say something,but no words came out.Edd stepped a little closer,the smile still on his face.

"It's okay.I understand that you're sorry."He said,then pulled Red Leader into a warm embrace.Edd's scent was of forest and Cola,just as he remembered.

".....you do?"He asked,blinking back tears."I ruined your life!I ruined everything....."

"But,I forgive you."Edd's aura glowed stronger."It's okay,we all make mistakes,but we have to make amends."

In Red Leader's fight with the tears,he lost.Sobbing,he clenched his fists as hot tears ran down his cheeks again,dripping down his chin.He hated feeling like this,but he was glad at the same time.Red Leader was finally happy he had let go of all the misery he had put himself in.

"Sh,sh...."Edd looked at him,wiping off the tears."It's alright.I forgive you.Come with me,we can still be friends."

He smiled a little,looking up at the angel.

"Red Leader,feeling better?"

He coughed,and looked up at Edd."Please,don't call me that.I like Tord now,Red Leader was a foolish greedy man,and I'm leaving him behind."

Edd chuckled."Glad to see you're letting go of the past now."

"Yeah.Yeah,I am."Tord,not Red Leader,smiled.

The two men sat in the old Norwegian cabin,making amends and fixing a broken bond.Even the worst of wounds can heal.
