J-Dude was being put through the wringer. He was just standing still, looking helpless as Max continued to punch him. Then, Max lifted up one of his elbows, and brought it down upon J-Dude's skull. J-Dude rocketed to the Earth, landing hardly. He tried to get up, but he just seemed to be doing failed pushups. Max put his foot on his back, and pinned him ferociously to the floor with it. J-Dude's Super Saiyan hair returned to its dark blond state.

Max: "So how would you like it? A slow painful death as I puncture your heart? Or a quick blast to the head, so it can end quickly? I hear it's painless, but I wouldn't know now would I? Send me the answer in a postcard after you get to otherworld wont you?

J-Dude just groaned as he tries to get up.

Max: "Tick-tock, tick-tock. Your time is out brother! What is your last request? No answer? Then I suppose I'LL MAKE THE DECISION FOR YOU!"

Max holds his hand towards J-Dude's back, and charges a beam.

J-Dude: "Earth, I'm sorry… I've failed you…"

A figure flew towards Max in a blur, and knocked him straight through 300 yards of rock formations, which collapsed and shattered as he pummeled through them. The figure stood on the ground, and revealed his super saiyan 2 face. It was none other than Eddie, pumped up and ready to pummel his enemy into dust. J-Dude looks up.

J-Dude: "Who are you!"

Eddie: "Eddie, with an "I-E". I'm the fused form of Ed, Edd and Eddy. Let me help you out."

Eddie pointed his open hand at J-Dude, and a flash surrounded J-Dude, who afterwards, got up with ease.

Eddie: "I've given you enough power to allow you to regain the rest of your energy."

J-Dude: "So you three are now in one body?"

Eddie: "Yes, but only for 30 minutes, so our window of opportunity is somewhat slim. We need to fight him together. Here he comes!"

Indeed, Max was standing upon a rock pillar. He looked down angrily upon them.

Max: "Do my ears deceive me, or did you just say that you are some kind of combo of those three pests? Well don't think just because you can catch me off-guard doesn't mean you're any stronger than I."

Eddie: "SHUT UP! I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF YOUR POMPOUS ATTITUDE! IT'S TIME TO SETTLE THIS ONCE AND FOR ALL!"

Eddie flew at Max, and they engaged in an equal round of punches and kicks. J-Dude joined in, though his power still limited. Eddie and Max shared a large punch, and both of them backed up from each other. Max made a huge punch, which Eddie ducked, and kicked Max in the back sending him five feet before he stopped himself. He made a flying kick at J-Dude, who dodged it, but then Max grabbed J-Dude's neck, and forcefully pushed him headfirst into the ground. Eddie came up and punched Max in the gut. Both of them flew in the same direction, inverted to face each other. Both of them charged energy beams looking at the other with hatred. They fired the beams, which hit in midair and did nothing more than force their recipients back. Both regained their bearings and went into a hyperactive fist fight.

Kibitoshin and the Elder Kai were watching with anticipating expressions.

Old Kai: "It looks like it's my turn to be the one in disbelief. How did those three get the fusion down after so many tries, and failures?"

Kibitoshin: "You'd be surprised what some people can do when they need to. They knew what was at stake and made certain to try their best one last time. If there's anything that can turn the tides of war its determination."

Old Kai: "Or sheer dumb luck."

Kibitoshin fell over after hearing this, as if he had been struck by a wreaking ball.
