A few months has passed since the Bon Odori festival, and our heroes Kenzumi, Satoshi, Senpai and Ms. Beatia were relaxing at house, enjoying the last few days of the school break.
"Okay, three second quick challenge." Kenzumi said, ready to time Satoshi's coin flip challenge. Satoshi flipped the coin as Kenzumi started the timer. The three seconds went by very quickly, and as soon as the timer hit zero, Satoshi caught the coin.
"Wow, that's so impressive." Ms. Beatia said in amazement. "You weren't even looking at the coin."
"It's all about the rhythm." Satoshi said.
"Speaking of which," Kenzumi brought up. "Isn't it odd that Queen Rhythmia hasn't sent down any soldiers to take away rhythm in some time?"
"Perhaps she knows she's beat." Satoshi said. "No offense Ms. Beatia."
"Don't worry." Ms. Beatia said. "I'm sure she just needs time to realize the mistake she made and know what wrong she is doing."
"I like that!" Senpai said.
"Yeah, that's a possibility." Satoshi said. "Anyways, I'm ready for the next coin flip challenge."
"Okay then." Kenzumi said. "This one is the three second slow challenge."
Satoshi took a deep breath and flipped the coin. He listened to the beat he made up and mentally prepared to catch the coin.
AAAAAHHHH!
The loud screeched caused everyone to jump in surprise, and Satoshi miss the coin.
"What was that?" Kenzumi asked, for sure that he lost a bit of hearing from the loud screech.
"I don't know." Satoshi said. "But man that was loud!"
AAAAHHHH!
This screech was even louder, so loud that almost all glass in the house broke.
"Maybe it's something to do with Queen Rhythmia." Senpai said, covering her ears in case their was another screech.
"Let's check it out, cause I want this to stop!" Satoshi said.
So with that, the four quickly exited the house, and follow the source of the loud screeching.
"Your job," Queen Rhythmia started. She was not in a good mood at all. It took her a long time to get over her defeat from her original plan at taking away all the rhythm from earth. During that time, she did not send a single soldier to any other part of the earth to take away any rhythm. General Luis assumed that she wants him to focus all their effort on the ones who foiled her plans.
"Yes, your highness?" General Luis asked.
"Your job is to get rid of those lousy kids who ruined my chances of taking all the rhythm of earth."
"Of course, I can assure you that I can."
"You better. After your soldiers failed at catching those runts when they escaped, I think I'm doubting your use as a general."
General Luis grew nervous. "What do you mean?"
"What I mean is, if you don't serve your use as a general well enough, I might have to banish you."
"Your highness you wouldn't!"
"Who says I can't?" Queen Rhythmia said with a wicked little smirk on her face.
General Luis didn't know what to consider. He didn't want to be banished from Rhythm Heaven, but he didn't really want to take orders from Queen Rhythmia either. Though he didn't want to have her freak out on him.
"I can assure you I'll do my best your highness." General Luis said gloomily.
"Exactly, now get out of my throne room."
General Luis quietly walked out of the throne room, wishing that Queen Beatia was here to stop her daughter.
The four made their way to the source of the screeching, which was at the local theater. They all covered their ears all the way there, as the screeching continued as they followed the source.
AAAAHHHH!
"I hope nothing to bad has happened." Senpai said.
They entered the theater, and saw that the source wasn't from Rhythm Heaven soldiers, but some chibi monochromatic looking kids wearing black bowties. They were being lead by a conductor.
"Together now." Said the conductor.
AAAAHHHH!
Satoshi, having enough, ran up to the conductor and shouted, "Why are you guys so loud?!"
The conductor turned around, and Satoshi saw who he was. He was on of the Clappy Trio, except he was completely white, and had a red tie.
"Oh, are you one of the Clappy Trio members?" Kenzumi asked as he and the others approached.
"I was actually." Said the conductor.
"Uh, sorry about my outburst." Satoshi said, blushing. "I was just getting really tired of that constant screeching."
"I knew I should've check to see if all the windows were shut."
"What are you doing anyways?" Ms. Beatia asked.
"I'm helping these Chorus Kids sing. They've been having trouble singing, and I figured that in my previous experience in the Clappy Trio, I could do it."
"Is that why you left the group?" Satoshi said.
"It sure is."
"That's nice of you." Senpai said.
"Is their any of them who's having problems with singing?" Kenzumi asked.
One of the Chorus Kids, the one on the very right, said. "I guess I am. My name is Marshal."
"What's the problem your having?" Satoshi asked.
"I'm having trouble singing the correct amount of times. I guess I have a bit of a bad singing throat."
"I'm sure you'll be fine little one." Ms. Beatia said. "If you believe in your sense of rhythm, I'm sure you can sing greatly."
"I hope so, cause when we do our big performance one day, we'll be going to Hawaii."
"It will be great." The conductor said.
"Well, I hope you don't get your rhythm taken." Satoshi said. "Because I think Queen Rhythmia is gonna want some revenge after we stopped her evil plans."
"If you see any rhythm soldiers, just run."
"I can assure you, we will not let anyone take our rhythm." Said the conductor.
"Alright, we'll let you continue your practice." Kenzumi said. "But you might want to make sure all the windows are closed."
"You'll do great!" Senpai said.
The conductor thanked them and the four left the theater, leaving the conductor to continue to teach the Chorus Kids how to sing, but not before he closed all the sound prove windows. As they all sang, Marshall thought about what the others said, and grew more confident in himself.
