J-Dude's journey took a week to complete, even in his Class II ship. In the meantime, he trained a little in 100 times Earth gravity. This did little for him though, since he would probably need 1,000 times Earth gravity to make any difference. Finally, he saw the white-blue planet through the screen. Floating in orbit to Edoc, was a large Class IV, meaning the culprit had to have visited Earth once. He figured that anyone wanting a fight with a Saiyan had to think of using an empty planet as his or her battlefield. He noticed that the planet had an oxygenated atmosphere, thanks to the aquatic environment. He found what looked like a beacon of light on top of a large plateau of ice. He slowly landed, taking in the area. He noticed a small landing craft, which had apparently made the light. After landing operations had ended, he walked out. It was, to be expected, extremely cold. He raised his power level to announce his arrival, as well as warm himself up.

J-Dude: "All right Monarch, I'm calling you out! Attacking innocent people is something I don't put up with. If you like causing people pain, you have a problem with me!"

At first, there was nothing. The only answer was the light wind that added to the chill. Three figures walked out of the craft. One was a small blue creature. The other was a large brown one that had the body of a spider, except it had six legs, and only four eyes. Both of them stayed to two sides of the ramp that lead to the landing craft. The hooded Monarch finally made his way out.

J-Dude: "So you're the one who made that cowardly attack on my planet. You wanted me here so here I am! I'll give you the chance to leave, give up. You don't want any of this!"

Monarch: "You don't get it, do you? This isn't a plot for universal domination, its revenge, plain and simple."

J-Dude: "Revenge? The Earth hasn't done anything to you, or your people!"

Monarch: "No, the Earth hasn't done anything. Its you, brother."

The Monarch lowered his hood. It was none other than Max Payne. J-Dude could do nothing more than stare in disbelief. Back on Earth, the Eds and co. on the Lookout was sharing similar looks.

J-Dude: "Impossible! You, your-!"

Max: "Dead? Oh please. You mean you didn't guess my clue?"

J-Dude: "Clue?"

Max: "(sigh) Monarch's Armada X Party? 'M. A. X. P.'? I thought putting my name there was sort of pushing it, but I thought it would be fun to see if you could guess right."

J-Dude: "But, how? How could you have survived?"

Max: "Oh, I didn't survive. You weren't fooled, I did die. Temporarily at least. The crew onboard the space station Perseverance found the only remaining piece of my anatomy, the arm your friends separated from me, and used it to reconstruct my body, not knowing the fury they would invoke. I stole that beautiful vessel you saw orbiting the planet. To my luck, they found Uranium deposits among their findings on Titan. The scientists made the warheads easily enough."

J-Dude: "So it was you, you were the one who destroyed that station! I should have known; it was your power that I was sensing that day!"

Max: "Yes. How you know about the station I wouldn't know."

J-Dude: "A survivor of the explosion told us all we needed to know."

Max: "A survivor you say? How can that be? I saw to it that all escape capsules were locked."

J-Dude: "Well something obviously went wrong with your plan, because he's alive and well."

Max: "If that was the case, why didn't you know it was me?"

J-Dude: "The explosion sent him into a crash course. The collision caused short-term amnesia. He couldn't tell us much, but like I said he told us all we needed to know."

Max: "Intriguing. Well I say we get started."

J-Dude: "Here we go!"

J-Dude transformed in a Super Saiyan Three once again.

J-Dude: "In case you haven't noticed Max, it's been 3 years since our last encounter; we've grown a lot stronger since then. If I remember correctly how strong you were, you don't stand a chance."

Max: "Actually, the good scientists who were blindly interested in my power boosted it considerably. And you'll find my next surprise interesting. HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

Max's hair had just lengthened to his waist and his eyebrows had disappeared.

Max: "My Super Saiyan 3. Do you like it? I would fight you myself, but you see, I want to measure up your potential first. Solen, Binda. Take care of him."
