So in the aftermath, plans were made. To avoid the use of their power for personal gain, they agreed to put their potential energy into four special orbs until they were needed to save the Earth once again. They knew that Max Payne was the beginning of a horde of new enemies. The ways of ki had once again been unleashed, marking the coming of new foes, as with Goku's bequest. As J-Dude had said, he knew that there was a higher force in the Universe than anyone could imagine, and that because of it, nothing was a true accident. Dende formed a new hyperbolic time chamber for them to train in once every year, so as not to be caught off-guard. In a year from that time, a wish was granted to rid the world of Payne's memory. And on that same day, a man that nobody had laid eyes on before had strolled into the New York police department. His name was Jake Myers.

And as for Ed, Edd n' Eddy…?

Eddy: "Welcome to Ed's Social Establishment! Entry is free, and the gambling's great!"

Kevin: "Choice! Wait a minute…is this a casino?"

Eddy: "No it's an establishment. No oblong' English, el jock'eh?"

Kevin: "Whatever Senior Dorko, I'm heading for the slots."

They were in Eddy's garage with gambling devices. Kevin pulled a lever on a slot machine after entering a quarter.

Kevin was the Eds's sworn enemy. With a backwards red cap and an agitated state of mind in their presence, Kevin never failed to refer to them as "dorks". Among them there was Sarah and Jimmy, as well as others. There was also a boy called Jonny with his wooden imaginary friend Plank, the teen blond Nazz, who never failed to be polite and was the crush of every male other than Rolf, who was a tall immigrant from an old-world country who had failed in most ways to assimilate to American culture.

Ed, adorned in a lavish suit that made him look like a bell-hop, blundered by with an assortment of drinks that looked as though they had come from a mud puddle. He rounded on an unsuspecting Jimmy and offered one of the liquid abominations.

Ed: "Something to ail what cures ya' Jimbo?"

Jimmy look at it revolted and began to turn green.

Jimmy: "It's enough to make Julia Child weep!"

Jimmy scurried away from Ed, tripping over a roll in the maroon carpet with a feeble "Owie!"

Edd: "I'll have you know Eddy that casino's aren't all profit. There is the chance of someone hitting the $10 high stakes prize..."

Eddy: "What are the odds of that Double D? Besides, you know what they say: the house, always wins…"

Eddy said in a confident way. Ed lumbered up at his comment.

Ed: "Nah silly! This is your garage."

Eddy: "It's Vegas lingo porcupine-head, get with it…

Suddenly, alarms sounded all over the casino in Eddy's garage.

Kevin: "Awesome, ten big ones!"

Nazz: "Yeah!"

Sarah: "I'm gonna buy me a new bike!"

Jimmy: "Another pair of loafers!"

Rolf: "Ho ho! Rolf shall be dining on eels tonight, yes? Does the ooze of good fortune not sit in Rolf's pores?"

Jonny: "Stay put Plank, you might be good luck!"

Plank was propped up against a chair.

Eddy: (panicky) "WHAT ARE THE ODDS OF THAT DOUBLE D?"

Edd: "Um…higher than even our lack of luck could manifest I fear…"

Kevin: "Hey Dorky! We're cashing in."

Eddy: "Forget it we ain't paying! We're broke!"

Jonny: "You can't open a casino if you can't reimburse the winnings!"

Rolf: "Yes! What sort of bamboozletry do you mean by assembling this swindler's kiosk of artificial richitude?"

Edd seemed perturbed by Rolf's attempted utilization of English.

Edd: "'Richitude'? Really Rolf…'richitude'?"

Eddy: "It ain't a casino, it's a Social Establishment! If I had my strength back I'd show you all what's-four!"

Ed: "Yeah, make like library books and get lost!"

Edd seemed impressed by Ed's moment of cleverness.

Edd: "That was uncharacteristically witty Ed…"

Kevin then spoke with a sinisterly low tone.

Kevin: "Let's rip their faces off…"

The Ed's ran yelling out into the horizon of the Cul-de-sac followed by the vigilant kids.

Eddy: "Wait, I don't have insurance!"

Edd: "Help me!"

Ed: "I think your scam's expiring date's passed Eddy."

Eddy: "Shut it Ed…"

…let's just say that pennies from heaven haven't fallen yet…
