Back on the sacred planet, 12 hours had passed. The Elder Kai was still doing his incongruous ritual. The Ed's were still standing, but a heavy fatigue had made them all incredibly weak. Suddenly, the elder Kai stopped.

Old Kai: "Okay, it's finished."

The Ed's all fell flat on their faces.

Ed: "My calves hurt."

Old Kai: "Now for the second part."

Eddy: "SECOND PART? We stood still for a million hours, and you're telling me there's MORE?"

Ed: "A lot more! Order in the next fifteen minutes and you will be eliginable for this special offer bonus pretzel folding kit, yours free! In now while supplies last!"

Old Kai: "Silence mutton-brain, and hold your horses you overgrown fire spout! That was merely the awakening of your hidden powers. Now, you must focus that energy until it has become voluntary. Please sit down and concentrate on that power."

Edd: "I don't mean to seem uninformed, but how do you suggest we do that. I'm not sure if you have noticed, but we haven't a clue to this energy business."

Old Kai: "You know when you feel so charged that you can run 50 feet more than you can normally? Well take that charge and focus it, become so aware of it that you could hold it in your hand. Now let's continue."

Old Kai sat down in front of them and outstretched his arms. This went on for another sleep depriving 36 hours, then the elder retracted his arms, and the Eds looked forward in anticipation.

Eddy: "Is it finished yet?"

Old Kai: "Yes, I believe it is done. The only way for you to really be certain is by challenging each other in combat."

Eddy: "Too easy!"

Edd: "I'm afraid I must protest to this form of aggression! I abhor violence, and I refuse to harm, let alone take the life of anyone."

Kibitoshin: "I would respect your wish if it weren't for the reality that Max Payne may be the doom of the Universe. I'm sorry, but you're going to have to swallow your pride. There isn't any other way for you to win. I have seen evil of his kind before, and they're not to be reasoned with. He's too proud and senseless to feel any remorse guilt or pity for his victims."

Edd: "Uh, I suppose if it IS for the greater good, that I am obligated to do my part. Very well. Shall we begin?"

Eddy: "Okay Double D, I'll give you a free shot. Right here, don't worry I wont feel a thing! Ah, ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

Double D charged at Eddy, but he went so fast, that without knowing it, he disappeared, and reappeared in front of Eddy, and hit him in the jaw. Taken by surprise, Eddy careened like a missile straight into a rock cliff, shattering it to rubble.

Edd: "Dear me, our strength HAS increased to an astonishing level! I mean this is an absolute coup, a-"

But before Edd could continue his eruption of diction, Eddy picked up a stalactite, and whacked Double D into the air.

Eddy: "PLAY BALL!"

Edd stopped himself in midair, not even realizing that he was floating.

Edd: "Oh, that's how it's going to be is it? How about this!"

Double D shot through the air and head butted Eddy's noggin. Both of them fell to the floor, holding their heads in pain.

Edd: "WHAT THE HECK'S YOUR HEAD MADE OF! CAST IRON!"

Edd: "That was not well conceived! I'm sorry if I-"

Eddy: "You're gonna' get it now!"

Eddy chased after Edd, both running at inhuman speeds. Edd rounded on Eddy as he attempted to steam-roll Edd who put his hands up in defense, inadvertently firing a blast of energy into Eddy, who fell on his feet and rolled past Edd like a derailed train.

Edd: "Did that come out of me…? What a strange phenomenon! Pure energy manifested into its raw form?"

While Edd generated and examined a steadily pulsing energy ball in his palm, Eddy came at him with a similar attack, Edd recovering and both went at it furiously. Where the Kai's were watching the training, Ed hadn't moved.

Kibitoshin: "They certainly were the right ones for the job. Their skill is increasing with every attack! They're learning how to fight while they're fighting!"

Old Kai: "Wait a second, where's the one with a tangerine for a brain? Hey, 'Lord of the Paper-Weights', get in there and train! HEEEEEEEE!"

Both Kai's looked up at the area above Ed. A massive collection of large energy balls were hovering just above Ed.

Ed: "SUPER MACHINE GUN BLAST! YAHH!"

Ed sent all of the balls towards Eddy and Double D. Oblivious to what was happening, Eddy, and Edd both charged energy beams at each other that met and exploded in midair.

Eddy: "Tough guy huh?"

Edd: "Haven't even broken a sweat Eddy! Oh dear, sweat marks leave unsightly stains. I'd better remove this shirt."

Eddy: "Good thinking sock-head! I was feeling a bit hot myself."

Edd: "Fatigue Eddy?"

Eddy: "Nope, but I'm on fire right now baybee!"

Just then, a large energy ball whizzed past Eddy's face.

Eddy: "What the?"

More and more energy balls flew at them, but all missed.

Ed: "Prepare to meet your maker!"

Eddy: "Hey, nice shooting dead-eye! You missed worst than a blind man! What're you still standing there fo-?"

Edd: "Um, Eddy?"

Eddy: "What!"

Edd: "BLOCKADE!"

The balls of energy hadn't hit their mark, but they had all stopped, forming an army of waiting balls all around them. Eddy looked up in fear, finally putting his hands up in defense.

Eddy: "Not the face!"

Ed: "HAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

Ed slapped his hands together like cymbals, and the balls flew inward and hit their targets. A furious explosion rang out.

Kibitoshin: "Great galaxy!"

After the dust cleared, Edd and Eddy appeared cut bruised, and worn out. They slowly floated to the ground, and landed.

Edd: "I think that's enough training for one day."

Edd fell to the floor.

Eddy: "Hold the elevator Double D."

Eddy followed Edd's example.
