Edd unfortunately gets found by the red leader, AKA Tord...
Tom, Tord, Edd, and Matt all used to be best friends back in their twenties. Tord ended up betraying Edd, Matt, and Tom by attempting to kill them with a giant robot he planned to take over the world with. Tom used a harpoon gun to impale the robot and nearly kill Tord, leaving Tord without one of his arms and half of his body disfigured with explosion scars... Years later, Tord craved vengeance, so he decided to take over the world like he had planned to. Tord ended up taking over the UK, being known as the 'Red Leader' by everybody. Tord would force people to like him and respect him, or else, they'd suffer at his own arms. Tord turned the UK into a dystopian hell, everything was under his control and his watchful eyes. Tord had kidnapped Edd, Tom, and Matt when he first started ruling. An accident happened where Tom's eyes got severely injured and Matt's jaw nearly got ripped off, so Tord ended up 'fixing' them. Tom now wears a mechanical eye visor, and Matt now has a metal jaw and a metal eye. Edd ended up getting away unharmed and was now on the run from Tord and his army. Tord ended up banning Cola, Edd's favorite drink, which caused Edd to seek out Cola anytime he could... This caused Edd to get kidnapped again by Tord, who was now ruling EVERYTHING and was much more powerful than the last time they met.

It was an early morning in England, but it wasn't peaceful, it hadn't been peaceful for over a decade now... Not since Tord decided to take over and assassinate the prime minister. Everyday was pretty loud or chaotic, or it just wasn't safe at all to even walk around if you were a rebel to Tord's army. It's either you gave in, or you gave up, you didn't get to have a choice in Tord's world.
It was an especially bad day for Edd... Tord's two lackeys Paul and Patryck set up a cola stand to trick Edd. Of course, it worked, and the two kidnapped Edd. They brought Edd back to the Red Army base and he ended up trapped there, forced to see Tord yet again after running away for so long in this dystopian nightmare.
Edd had been unconscious for a few hours after he had gotten knocked out and dragged all the way to Tord's base, but he finally began to wake up due to the bright fluorescent lights above him. Edd blinked rapidly and went to shield his eyes, but he was tied up with ropes and chains to an uncomfortable chair... Edd was isolated in a room where he'd presumably be talking to Tord later.
Edd furrowed his eyebrows with frustration before muttering, "Bloody hell, didn't even get my cola and I'm back here again..." Edd sighed deeply and tried to get out of the chains and ropes, but to no avail, he couldn't get out because somebody had actually taken care and caution when tying him up. Edd was absolutely fed up, but he knew he had nowhere else to go.
Tom and Matt were in a room next to Edd, a giant window was the only thing separating the three. Both Tom and Matt could hear and see Edd, and Edd could hear and see them too.
Tom stood with his hands behind his back, looking at absolutely nothing while he waited for Edd to wake up. And soon enough, he heard Edd waking up and already complaining, completely unsurprisingly. Tom looked over at Matt and slightly elbowed him to get his attention. Tom spoke lowly enough to where Edd couldn't hear, "Hey. He's awake now." Tom looked at Edd, the red of his futuristic visors glowed as he watched Edd intently.
Tom already had an idea that things weren't going to go well, but he wasn't about to argue with the Red Leader, the man who could literally disable his consciousness with a button press.
Matt had his arms crossed, his expression was hurt and upset, he didn't want to watch Edd because he felt betrayed by Edd... Edd had left him and Tom to be with Tord, Edd didn't stop and help them when him and Tom had gotten attacked and now had robotic aids for their severely wounded body parts. Matt was deep in thought before he got startled by Tom elbowing him, he blinked and stared at Edd, seeing him waking up inside the room through the giant window.
Matt held his breath for a moment before letting out a deep sigh with disappointment. Matt shook his head slowly before speaking, "Yeah, I can see that... Tord's going to be either really mad or really happy when he sees that Edd's awake..." Matt rubbed the back of his neck, trying to keep his voice low as well so Edd wouldn't hear.
