Double D slowly woke up. He didnīt open his eyes. He just lay still.

"What was that?" he thought.

"Please, donīt let it be..."

"It is. Itīs an ECG. That means Iīm in a hospital."
Double D sat up in the hospital bunk and looked around.
He had strange wires connected to his head. He saw Eddy, Ed and Commissar Rolf Yarrick lying unconcious on their bunks. He was apparently the only one awake.
Suddenly, he heared footsteps from outside the door on his right. Instinctively he gripped after his plasma gun. But it wasnīt there!

Instead he throwed himself to the floor on the left side of his bunk and took cover. The wires that were connected to his head, was ripped off by the sudden move. As the door opened, Double D prepared to see some horrible alien lifeform. Instead, while having a slight shock, he saw a complete copy of himself, though a bit older. Same hat too.
The armour of the Double D copy was a bit more ornamented, with some strange runes that glowed. He was also equipped with a sword very much like Double Dīs, but much bigger. And instead of plasma gun, he had a bolter, same as Edīs. He immediatly saw that Double D was missing, and also saw were he hid.
"Donīt be afraid of me, Lexicanum." he said with a voice very much like Double Dīs, though a bit darker, as if he was grown-up.
Double D looked out from his hiding spot and said:
"Who are you?"
"Iīm Master Lexicanum Edward McKenzie. And donīt worry, I already know that your name also is Edward."
"How did you know that?"
"The Emperor told us to help you three, i.e you and your two friends, to defeat Lord Kevlinn. He also told us your names."
"Whaddya mean 'us'?"
"Sorry. I mean me, Lieutenant Ed Charleston, and of course Grand Commander Eddie McGranth."
Two other persons showed up behind Master Lexicanum Edward McKenzie.
One of them was very tall, and was equipped with jump pack, power sword and a smaller version of Double Dīs plasma gun, a so called plasma pistol. He looked like Ed in the face, though without the complete braindead look of Ed.
The other one was short, by Space Marine standards. He was clad in Terminator armour, but instead of Lightning Claws, he had a twin-barreled bolter and an axe that glowed with a red light. Even though he was the shortest one, he was still a bit taller then Double D. He looked exactly as Eddy, but a bit older.

Double D just stared at them. He didnīt know what to say. He just felt so shocked of looking at himself and his two friends in a more mature version.
Then, Eddy and Ed slowly came to. The Master Lexicanum walked over to them. Eddy was the first one to notice him.
"Hey, Double D, how long have you been awake?"
"What do you mean with 'Double D'?" McKenzie just replied.
(From now on, Iīm using the Eds copies last names for referring)
"Whaddya mean 'whaddya mean'?" Eddy said and looked angrily on McKenzie.
When Eddy realized it wasnīt Double D, he got scared.
"Ahhhh! Who are you?" he asked by mere shock.
Double D took the initiative and said:
"Itīs Master Lexicanum Edward McKenzie. And his two companions are Lieutenant Ed Charleston and Grand Commander Eddie McGranth."
He went over and whispered to Eddy:
"I belive theyīre our replicas in this Galaxy."
"Oh, my head!" Ed shouted as he tried to make sence off all that happened around him.
McKenzie handed him some water.
"When the Commissar wakes up, the Emperor would like to see you." McGranth said.
Eddy looked at his replica, and said:
"If that is what Iīm going to look like when I grow up, I donīt want to grow up."
McGranth walked over to Eddy and looked him deeply in the eyes.
"With that attitude young man, you wont grow up. At least not in this galaxy."
"Why not?" Eddy asked.
"Because youīd probably be dead before 15, thatīs why."
Eddy looked at Double D and said while pointing at McGranth:
"I like him."
"Hmmm." the reply just came, from both Mckenzie and Double D.
"Ohhh, the Emperor saved our souls after all." Commissar Rolf said as he woke up.
"Good, your awake." Charleston said and helped Commissar Rolf Yarrick out of his bunk.
"Weīll go to the Emperors Palace in about half an hour." McGranth said as he picked away the wires from Eddy head.

Back on Earth, the Eds woke up on Double Dīs backyard.
"Double D. Explain to me why we are lying on your backyard?"
"I donīt know Eddy, I just donīt know."
"Guys."
"What is it Ed?"
"I found a quarter in the grass. Was that why weīre lying on Double Dīs backyard?" Ed asked.
"I donīt think so pal." Eddy replied. "Wait a second! What did you find?!"
"A quarter."
"Ed, youīre beautiful! Letīs buy Jawbreakers!"
The Eds got up from the grass, but Double D had serious problems to walk.
"Ouch! My leg!"
"What is it pal?" Eddy asked as he turned round and looked at Double D.
Double D sat down and pulled down his sock on his left leg. There was a red mark on the leg. It looked like a bruise, but it hurted a lot more.
"When did that happen?" Eddy asked.
"I donīt know Eddy. It wasnīt there yesterday."
"Do you think you can walk?"
"Walk....yes. Run....no." Double D just replied.
"Okay. Weīll walk down to the candy store."
Double D got up from the grass and smiled at his two friends.

And so, the Eds walked off, unaware that they had saved an entire Galaxy from eternal evil.

You do want to know what happened afterwards, donīt you? Just hang on, and Iīll tell you.

The Imperium was built up, and no enemies appeared until a strange warrior that looked like a Space Marine, but without armour on his left arm, came and made an invasion with the help of the race known as Dark Eldar. He called himself Kharn the Betrayer, because he sometimes shot his own warriors, just like a Commissar.
He made an attempt to lay siege upon Armageddon, but was thwarted by the Space Marine Legions and the Guardsman army of Commissar Sebastian Yarrick, grandson to Commissar Rolf Yarrick. Kharn was believed killed, as an Eldar craftworld, the Biel Tan, helped the Imperial forces. The Biel Tan craftworldīs Farseer was a descendant to Farseer Johnnisky of craftworld Plankian.

But suddenly, about three hundred years after Armageddons liberation, the Imperium disappeared without a trace. Nothing was left, and any trace of the Space Marine Legions was lost.....

Double D runs out of his garage followed by two water jets. The two water jets hits him in his back.
"Hah! Gottcha you evil Berzerker!" Eddy shouted as he and Ed ran up to Double D.
"Donīt think that you do,Space Outlaw." Double D said and revealed two water-baloons.
He throwed them and both came bang on target.

But donīt belive what the cronicles say...........
