Edd: okay, what are we gonna do now?

Tom: *rubs a paw over his ears* eh, I dunno.

Matt: *fur fluffs up nervously* PLEASE tell me I look just fine as a cat! My perfect looks, my amazing face... what happened to all of that!? I hope I look just as fine as before!

Tom: well, if I were you, I wouldn't worry.

Matt: WHA-- *glares at at Tom* don't be ridiculous! If I'm a cat, then I should make sure my fur stays all nice, and YOU don't give a crap about that ragged fur on your pelt?!

Tom: eh, maybe... Gingerpaws.

Edd: wow, this conversation could get interesting...

Matt: *eyes widen, fur bushes out, bares teeth* ...say that again, ungrateful rat!

Tom: *fur fluffs* hey! At least it's better than making a big deal out of something so pointless yet you do it anyway!

Matt: it is not pointless! And it's way awesomer to care than spend a lifetime pretending you have no friends!

Tom: *unsheathes claws and stamps a paw down* You asking for it?!

Edd: okay, you know what? We should probably calm down...

Tom: *growls irritably*

Matt: *shrinks back* u-um... thanks for not clawing my face...?

Tom: *looks at one paw* I would gladly, though. If I were extremely pissed with everyone.

Edd: just... please calm down, already!

Tord: *appears out of nowhere* what's up guys?

Matt: GAH where did you come from!?

Edd: oh. Hello there, quote unquote, 'Old Friend'. *rolls eyes and makes quotation motions with paws*

Tom: *snarls angrily* what do YOU want?

Tord: I know how to turn everything back to normal.

Edd: how are YOU not a cat?

Tord: not the point. Just listen:

To turn back to normal, you have to go on a quest. That quest is to go to a place you may have never heard of. In that place, there's a secret underground organization that holds the key to get out. Either sneak in, or find a way to pretend to work alongside them and get to that key. Then, once you have the key, run away as fast as you can, then climb the tallest structure there, and then the portal will open up and you can go home.

Edd: *narrows eyes* how do we know this isn't just a trick. You already tricked us into letting you come back to stay with us, only to unleash a giant robot and destroy our old house and kill Jon. Also, you completely demolished my stash of cola, so you owe me one.

Tord: I know. And I'm paying off that debt by helping you get out. *pokes Edd lightly on the muzzle* okay, good luck! *disappears*

Matt: *shakes off ruffled fur* crap it. I think I'm molting!

Tom: ugh. Well, the sooner we find this place, the sooner we can stop worrying about being cats.

Edd: *with a burst of optimism* okay, guys! Let's go!

*everyone starts running in a random direction until they run to a small town*

Edd: this must be the place.

Matt: are you sure? Don't you think Tord's up to something?

Edd: well, only one way to find out if it's true or not. *jumps over a gate*

*everything is covered in memes*

*everyone is shocked out of their own pelts.*

Edd: what. The Hell. Is this?!

Matt: I'm surprised I don't want to gouge my eyes out and let the blood soak me down to the bone.

Tom: so many beautiful memes.

*explores around the town. It's full of cats with funny faces and dogs and people vomiting rainbows and a bunch of weird faces.*

Matt: this place gives me the heebie jeebies!

Edd: *tears eyes away from a weird trollface* me, too.

Tom: *but it had no effect*

Edd: okay, guys. We're looking for an underground organization.

Tom: *glares at Edd* and you suppose it's in plain sight? *points at a subway tunnel* let's have a look in there. *runs in*

*Edd and Matt follow the gray tabby. Inside, they stop at a train in the shape of the Annoying Dog from Undertale.*

Annoying Dog Train: NEXT STOP: DROP POP CANDY MINES.

Edd: hmm... I have an idea! A mine is underground, right? We could look in there!

*the trio dashes into the train. There are even weirder looking passengers. Some of them look like a Nyan Doughnut Cat, a suspicious man with a face and a nametag that says 'Lenny'. On the wall of the inside of the train, there's a familiar green poster with the arrogant face of a teenager with green hoodie, with captions, 'if you're cool, you're ME.'*

Edd: *smirks* well, we have some recognition here, too, don't we.

*train begins to depart. Before anyone knows it, an electronic cover of the Nyan Cat's song is playing. Everyone is dabbing and playfully wrestling other people like John Cena.*

Edd: *gets whacked in the face with a dancing banana.* ow!

Banana: ...

PEANUTBUTTERJELLY *zips off in a flash*

*train stops*

Annoying Dog Train: CURRENTLY STOPPING AT DROP POP CANDY MINES. ENJOY YOUR DAY!

*the doors slide open, the three cats lope out. Before they know it, they see Temmies mining away at Candy Crush candies lodged in pink stone. Radios playing the John Cena theme echo through the mine.*

Edd: *whispering* okay guys. If we see anything suspicious, let's get a better look.

Matt: you're assuming that suspicion will help us find some sort of underground place?! *cowers behind a boulder* no thanks!

Tom: think about it. You can be able to look at yourself in a mirror again without fretting about ruffled fur.

Matt: *shakes head* thanks, but I quite like being a cat.

Tom: *grabs Matt by the scruff and drags him along* come on, before I claw your tail!

Matt: *scrabbles along beside Edd* OKAY OKAY!

Edd: shh. *sees a strange person with a pyramid mask and hat sidling along the mine walls.* we should follow them.

*the stranger slips through a giant crack in the wall. Edd and friends follow. They see people wearing the same pyramid masks and hats. There's even a black, bloodstained cat with a color changing collar (studded with teeth and bones) with the same design*

Edd: well. I think we've found the secret organization.

Tom: *reading a sign* labs and DJ studios and money exchanges are run by the worshippers of the Illuminati... hm, otherwise known as Bill Cipher fans?

Matt: unbelievable! Everyone looks terrible!

Edd: guys, focus. We're looking for a key of some sort.

Matt: *shocked by the sights* um... Edd, maybe Tord was wrong. We should turn back!

Edd: well, only one way to find out! Come on! *runs into a random hallway.*

*a surprised yowl echoes from the hall.*

Tom: Edd? Did something happen?

*the two remaining felines see Edd being dragged away, struggling through a net*

Edd: WHAT DID I DO!?

Strange person: nice job trying to steal our key. It's top secret, idiot!

Tom: *growls and runs at the stranger* HEY! That's our friend you've captured! Give him back to us!

Matt: did he just say key? *gets hit in the head with a club*

Tom: *whips around to find Matt unconscious* Matt?! *looks up and sees a familiar person in a crimson hoodie* Tord!

Tord: *EVIL LAUGH MWAHAHAHAHAHA* did you really think the key was in there? I told everyone what you were planning. Trying to steal an important power source for these poor people? Ugh, classic stupid mange-pelts. *snaps fingers* take them away!

Tom: *also get hit with a club, but on the shoulder blade this time. Arm goes numb* GAH! *collapses* TORD,  THE HELL DID YOU DO?

Edd: you won't get away with this!

Tord: *shrugs* well, I guess I already did.

*the three cats are being dragged away. Into a CLIFFHANGER! OOOOHHHHHHH GOTCHYA!*
