Guardians of Ed

"Eds Elemental" is a standalone fanfiction created by Coraircate, an American fan. The immediate backstory tells of twenty beings (seventeen Guardians, two reformed Evil Guardians, and a Superior who holds the powers of all of them) who must reincarnate themselves as humans who will be born in thousands of years. In the present day, the Eds meet Professor Stanley, who studies the Guardians. He reveals Eddy's power and sends them off to find the entire force of the Guardians of Light and save the world. When the entire story has been told, it will have roughly 200 chapters and be the longest fanfiction in the entire category.

Jonny: Hey, roomie! You wouldn't happen to know where the pool was? Ed: No! We know where the pool is. We're supposed to ask him how to drive a helicopter. Jonny: Oh, never mind! (they fly away) Jacob: Well, that ruined the atmosphere...
 * Jacob: Alright, I took a picture of the chess players. I got the scenery. The awkward expression was easy enough. I managed a shot of something falling through midair. But what about a kiss? That's the last shot. Where can I find a kiss? (he hears a helicopter outside his window) What the hell?
