"Alright May, what did you do?"

Lee and Marie stumbled out of the house not too long after they had had ransacked Rolf's refrigerator. They found May standing in the middle of Rolf's meat shed with a dazed and bewildered look on her face, covered in black ash. The one thing that stood out the most was the fact that the shed had no walls and roof and that her monster had its head buried in the floor. Lee strode over to her sister, picked her up, and slapped her several times across the face.

"I'm awake, I'm awake, I'm awake!" May said as she snapped out of her stupor.

"Good," Lee said as she dropped May to the ground. "Now that we have your attention, would you mind telling us EXACTLY WHAT YOU DID!"

"Well, it was like this. After you two went inside, I started exploring the yard and eventually came across Rolf's meat shed. I remembered you saying earlier that meat is the way to a man's heart, and I thought that it would be great to raid Rolf's meat shed to gain some profits. So I readied my monster to take a big bite out of fresh turkey on the floor, but it must have dug too deep because I think it hit a gas line. The metal from the jaws must have caused a spark when the monster dove in a second time, because then the whole place blew up and all the meat went sky high."

Lee and Marie looked at May for a couple of seconds before slapping their foreheads.

Grabbing May by the front of her shirt, Lee said, "Didn't I tell you not to touch anything while we were inside!"

"Yeah May, do you have cotton in your ears?" asked Marie.

"Uh, maybe…" said May as she pulled thick wads of cotton out of both her ears.

Lee and Marie slapped their foreheads again.

As soon as everyone had finished getting most of the meat and juices out of their hair and clothes, the Eds and spies ran to where the blast had came from.

"Oh man, Mom's going to be so angry if the house blew up," worried Eddy.

"I'm sure your mother would understand, Eddy. I mean, you weren't even near your house just now, unless you inadvertently turned the gas on," replied Double-D.

"What, and purposefully destroy all of my candy?"

"Well, can you think of anything else you might have done?"

"Nope".

"Is that even a word?"

"Hey guys, check this out!" shouted Ed.

They had reached the entrance to the cul-de-sac when Ed stopped and pointed at Rolf's house. It was covered from front yard to roof in various meat products. Just when the Eds and spies were going to investigate Rolf's backyard, did they spot the Kanker sisters and each of their respective monsters emerging through the gate leading behind Rolf's house.

"I'm telling you Lee, May could pose quite a hazard to this whole scheme that we're doing. She already blew up Rolf's meat shed and I'm surprised that she even knows how to work that monster of hers," said Marie.

"Well, at least I'm nice and skinny. Unlike you, you fat, lazy doofus!" shot back May.

At this comment, Marie lunged herself at May and both began to throw punches at one another on Rolf's front lawn.

"Girls, enough!" shouted Lee.

Marie and May kept on fighting in front of everyone while it took Ed about a minute to register that the Kanker sisters were about forty in front of him. When he finally figured it out, he let out another ear-shattering yell…

"KANKERS!"

Lee heard the commotion from Ed, and turned to where he was standing with Eddy and Double-D. She wasn't surprised to see the Eds, but was surprised to see the spies standing next to them. "Well, if it isn't our boyfriends and their…um…friends. Hey, who are you people anyway?" She pointed to the spies in turn.

"We're from the…" began Alex, but Sam cut her off.

"That doesn't concern you. Was does concern you is that you leave the Eds alone and stop whatever evil scheme you are planning on carrying out".

"Ha! And what if we don't? You going to scare us with your intimidation and horrible outfits!"

"Horrible Outfits! Why you…!" Clover advanced toward Lee.

"Clover, no!" Sam had to hold onto her friend's arm to prevent her from starting a fight.

"You better watch out Lee, it looks like the redhead could take you on. Huh, maybe it would be a good idea, seeing as how you're also a redhead," snickered Marie.

"Shut up, Marie".

"Well, we're here to stop you from carrying out your evil plan at any cost," said Alex. "By the way, what is your evil plan?"

"Well, seeing as how we'll probably destroy you anyway so you don't interfere with our devices, I'll tell you. We plan on ransacking the rest of the houses for their food with these monsters…". She gestured to the three monsters standing at attention behind her. "…so that we can sell it back to the people for outrageous prices. Just think of it as our own little money-making scam." She nodded toward the Eds. "Once we take over this neighborhood, we'll move on to others and recruit more people to help us. Soon, the entire state will have to buy our food at ridiculous prices just to satisfy their stomachs, and it won't be long before we cover the entire world! Oh, Double-D and Ed, thanks for letting us use your monster to make the basis for designing our own. These robotic versions of your monster costume will do our dirty work, so that we won't have any problems with laziness. Plus, their stomachs can hold 100 pounds of food, so we'll be able to slip in and out of stores, houses, and other retailers in a matter of minutes. We'll be billionaires in no time".

"Well, at least we know where the metal triangles came from". Clover was eyeing the fact that Marie's monster was the only one out of the three that was missing spikes along its back.

"Geez, you're even crazier now than you were before," said Eddy to Lee. "Even my scams are a lot more practical than yours".

"But Eddy, what about the time Ed went on a sleepwalking eating spree and purged the cul-de-sac of all its food? And then you had the ridiculous and downright unsanitary idea of selling the food back to everyone by reaching into Ed's stomach and pulling out whatever you could find," whispered Double-D. (A.N. Check out the episode "A Glass Of Warm Ed" for more info)

"What? That scam wasn't that bad of an idea. Plus, I wouldn't be that shameless enough to go through with all of this". Eddy waved a hand at the monsters. "Too much work if you ask me".

"Ha! We spent every waking hour of our time building these fabulous machines in order to achieve our goal," said Lee. "This scam is ten thousand more times better than any scam you could come up with Eddy!" She then flashed a sinister smile. "Besides, you won't get the chance to stop us".

With that, she powered up her monster and made it face the Eds and spies. It then let out a roar that shook the trees, while May and Marie followed their sister in her actions.

"Girls, it's spy time!" shouted Sam.

She took out her X-powder and changed into her spy uniform. Clover and Alex did the same. She then whipped out the WindTunnel 9000 and aimed it at Marie's monster. Clover pulled out her laser lipstick and pointed it at Lee's monster.

"Hey, where did you get those?" said Eddy pointing.

"In the basement of our headquarters," said Sam over her shoulder. "They should prove to be quite handy now".

"Ooh, look at what the girls brought out to fight us with; a hairdryer and a tube of lipstick. This should be easy," taunted Lee.

"Did you bring any weapons with you ?" Double-D whispered to Alex, as she had not produced anything from her backpack.

"The only thing I brought with me from the basement is this, but I don't know how it could help us". She took out the Extendable Microphone from her backpack and gave it to Double-D. "It's an extendable microphone".

"Hmm, it looks like a party blower".

"Right. You point it in the direction of where you wish to listen to something discreetly and then you blow on this end of it and it unravels to the source. Sets of earphones pop out and you can listen to conversations. That's how we learned so much about your time machine. Sorry we didn't tell you sooner".

"Well, that would explain a lot. However, don't worry about it too much. We have more important matters to attend to".

Alex smiled. A few yards away, Sam and Clover were busy battling Lee and Marie's monsters all the while trying to get to their controllers who were laughing at them. May was laughing too, but she wasn't even in the skirmish, as she was just standing on Rolf's lawn watching the action. Lee noticed this and yelled at her.

"Hey May, get your lazy butt over here and help us!"

"Oh…coming!"

Clover decided to take the opportunity to attack May's monster when she wasn't looking, but May proved to be far too quick for her. She maneuvered her monster to avoid Clover's laser attacks with ease. With Clover distracted by May, Lee ganged up on Sam with Marie.

Alex, Double-D, Ed, and Eddy watched the scene unfold from a safe distance and they knew that they had to help Sam somehow.

Eddy turned toward Ed with a smile on his face.

"Ed, take one for the team by helping out Sam".

"You got it Eddy!"

Ed then ran towards Lee's monster and jumped onto its back, riding it like a rodeo bull.

"Bravo Ed! You got it now!" shouted Double-D.

Lee noticed the commotion going on top of her monster. "Hey Ed, get down from there!" She tried to maneuver her monster to take a swipe at Ed, but he kept dodging her attacks.

Alex leaned over and whispered into Double-D's ear. "Hey Double-D, watch this!" She then flipped over backwards and made her way towards Lee's monster doing backwards hand flips. Double-D looked after her with admiration. "Impressive". When Alex made it to Lee's monster, she gave it a swift kick in the midsection on its side just as Ed leapt off. The monster fell over to one side, almost crushing Lee beneath it.

"Ow, ow, ow…ow, ow, ow…"half-whispered Alex, as she landed on the ground. "Geez, what did you construct your monster out of? Concrete?"

"You crazy girl!" shouted Lee. "You could've crushed me to death!"

"Well, that wasn't very nice," said Alex as she gently massaged her sore foot.

"Look out!" shouted Double-D, as he pulled Alex out of the way. Marie had taken the opportunity to sneak her monster up behind Alex, and it was ready to devour her when Double-D saw what was going to happen. They both landed in a heap on the ground.

"Are you alright?" asked Double-D.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Thanks for saving my life," said Alex.

"No problem. Now let's go help the others".

Alex and Double-D raced to help Sam and Clover who were busy battling May's monster. Lee had managed to get her monster upright again with the help of Marie's monster, and soon the two of them started to advance on Clover and Sam.

"Man, for being the dumbest in the group, this girl sure knows how to manipulate her robotic menace!" shouted Clover.

"Yeah, if only WOOHP gave us training for this kind of situation, we would know how to bring her down!" shouted back Sam.

"Do you see the weakest part of the monster anywhere, Sam?"

"I'd say that the legs would be the most vulnerable, but I can't seem to get a good shot at them".

Meanwhile, Eddy was trying to think of a way to help without exerting too much effort. A light bulb then went off over his head, and he smiled deviously. He then casually strolled through the turmoil to where Lee was standing controlling her monster.

"Hey Lee, is that your hair, or did you dunk a mop in spaghetti sauce and tie it to your forehead?"

May and Marie burst out laughing. Lee, on the other hand, was quite miffed.

"Why you…!"

Lee then proceeded to chase Eddy all over the cul-de-sac, until he came face to face with her monster. He tried to run in a different direction, but it swiftly reached down, grabbed a hold of the back of his shirt, and threw him into a fence across the street.

"That's what you get for insulting my hair!" shouted Lee. Alex, Double-D, and Ed rushed over to his aid.

"Eddy, are you alright?" asked a concerned Double-D.

"But Mom, it's my turn to ride the merry-go-round…" mumbled Eddy.

"Oh dear, he's delusional," said Double-D in a hushed tone.

Just then, Sam and Clover were hurled into the fence and crumpled in a heap next to Eddy. Lee's monster held the WindTunnel 9000 hairdryer in its jaws, while Marie's monster held the Laser Lipstick 2.0 in its jaws. Both jaws then snapped shut at the same time, trapping the gadgets in the containment stomachs.

Clover sat up and rubbed her head. "Man, those monsters are a lot tougher than they look, and those gadgets were our only hope of stopping the Kanker sisters".

"Yeah, my foot still is tender after kicking Lee's monster. They must be made out of steel or something, so using hand-to-hand combat is out of the question," said Alex.

"Oh, my aching head…" said Eddy. He had fully regained his composure and stood up. "Were the Kankers defeated?"

"Not quite…"murmured Double-D. His eyes were transfixed on all three monsters slowly advancing towards the group. Lee, Marie, and May all had sinister-looking smiles spread across their faces.

Ed ran around in circles, clutching his head in panic. "Aaahhhhhhh! We are so doomed!"

Everyone except Ed had their backs up against the fence waiting for the inevitable to come.

"Well, this is it. It's been nice knowing you guys," said Eddy.

"Yeah, who's going to be the one to keep a little twerp like you in check?" replied Clover with a slight smirk.

Eddy managed a weak smile.

Double-D was standing next to Alex, a panicky look on his face. "So this is how it's going to end, is it?" he thought. "At least I'll be with all of my friends, including Sam, Clover, and 'sigh' Alex, when the inevitable happens. I just wish that I could have a jawbreaker one last time with everyone, and tell Alex that I have a slight crush on her…"

His thoughts were suddenly interrupted by an audible, yet familiar alarm coming from his wristwatch.

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

Double-D looked down at his watch and got all wide-eyed. "Oh my…curse my inventive ways".

Eddy looked over at his friend with an inquisitive expression on his face. "What?"

Just then, the DeLorean popped out of nowhere and smashed sideways into the legs of Marie's monster. The force caused the monster to topple onto the others like a line of dominoes, and the legs buckled under the heavy weight. Everyone held their breath as the monsters' legs bent horribly out of shape and couldn't function anymore, while the DeLorean came to a screeching stop in front of them.

Nobody said a word for a moment. Then Sam spoke up.

"So, this must be the DeLorean that you were referring to then".

"Yep, seven hours exactly," said Double-D looking at his watch. "Right on schedule".

"Finally, now I can become a billionaire!" shouted Eddy.

"Well, at least we know that Eddy's alright," said Clover.

The Kanker sisters looked over at their useless monsters before turning toward the group.

"You're going to pay for that!" shouted Lee. She, Marie, and May then charged towards the Eds and spies. But Sam, Clover, and Alex were ready for them. Each girl managed to get each of the sisters in a tight headlock before they knew what had happened.

"Looks like you won't be needing your monsters where you'll be going," said Sam.

"The mall?" asked May.

If Lee could have smacked her sister she would have.

"No, juvenile hall," said Alex.

"Ah man, that's the fourth time this summer," complained Marie.
