Eddy: "This is nuts! No choice, Super Saiyan 2!"
Eddy yelled loudly and went to his final transformation. His hair had not grown, but his locks of hair had violently spiked upward while electricity crackled around him. This advantage increased his speed 50 fold. It was much easier, but there were still too many of them, and he would be unable to sense the ones that escaped. Just when one had crashed into the ground, ready to explode in five seconds, Edd arrived at top speed, punching into the hull of the missile, and crushing a black timer inside. The beeping that the timer had made ceased. Ed and J-Dude followed closely behind. They all went Super Saiyan 2, except for J-Dude, who went to his fullest state, Super Saiyan 3. J-Dude flew straight at a missile, and with an almighty kick, sent it hurtling out of the atmosphere, where a large explosion lit up the sky. Ed took hold of the nose of another missile with his jacket like he did when he tossed Eddy in his play-safe suit, and flung it around three times before releasing it into space. Finally, they all put their backs to each other and blasted the sky with small energy beams. After 20 seconds, only one missile was left, leaving clouds of dust and smoke hanging in the air. J-Dude grabbed it and flew into the highest region of the sky, where it exploded. The Ed's seemed worried until he landed next to them asking why they thought he couldn't handle a simple nuclear explosion. They all walked over to the one that had crashed and Edd examined the rocket. He finally found three words engraved on the hull.
Edd: "Monarch's Armada X Party? Whomever this was apparently knew very little about the damaging properties of nuclear bombs. Otherwise they would know to force the missiles to detonate a mile above sea level for maximum destructive power, not send them into the ground where they would simply produce a large crater. Who in the world is this monarch? And why would he or she attack us?"
Eddy: "Who knows! I just say we get rid of this thing and-"
Eddy was cut short when he put his elbow on a steel panel and it sunk in, revealing a projector that shot three beams of light onto the ground nearby. These beams turned into a three dimensional image of a man in a cloak. His hood was up, so you couldn't tell who he was.
Hologram: "Hello, I am the Monarch. This attack was meant to bring out the champion of Earth, you know the one. He is a Saiyan, the most powerful one. I wish to fight him. He is to meet me on the planet Edoc; it is made entirely of ice. The coordinates are (-12.1, .7), (1.5, 9), (7.2, 6). He is to come alone. If I sense more than one power level, I will destroy your planet. I look forward to this."
The hologram ended, leaving a foreboding atmosphere in its wake.
J-Dude: "Which one of us could he have meant?"
Eddy: "Who else? It had to be moi! Who wouldn't want a piece of this?"
Edd: "Oh, don't be modest Eddy. Please, we all know he was talking about J-Dude."
J-Dude: "Me? I know I'm strong, but any of you guys could smash me."
Edd: "Oh, pish-posh! That's only if you stopped at Super Saiyan 2! We have to fuse to measure up to your full power. You're the strongest individual here."
J-Dude: "Well, I guess. In which case, next stop Edoc!"
As J-Dude blasted off, Ed was sent to find the Dragonballs, in case another attack became successful. Kibitoshin and the Elder Kai brought a viewing globe so they could watch the battle from afar. When Edd insisted that they let them handle things right now, Ed confirmed why by stating, "Because the readers are sick and tired of your side-story commentary."
