The group continued to fight off the soldiers as they made their way to the ship. It was definitely easy with how tired all the soldiers were, not having any rhythm. Plus, having a whole massive group compared to a four person group the first two times helped.
When they came into close proximity to the ship, they saw just how big and powerful it was. It has large cannons on the front, and giant fiery exhausts at the back. They could see that the rhythm that was taken beforehand was being stored in steel barrels in a storage unit inside the ship, as they could see the glow of it from the giant window at the bottom front.
"Now what?" Satoshi asked.
Before Kenzumi could suggest a plan, one of the doors to the ship opened, and General Nixxiom came out, holding a katana. He had the face of anger and hatred, and that appeared to be targeted at Luis.
"You are the group trying to stop me?" General Nixxiom asked in a dark voice. "A bunch of lowly civilians?" He then pointed his katana at Luis. "And you! You have the nerve to show up here!"
"I am only trying to do what's right!" Luis said.
"Well if you wanted to do what's right, you should've let me be the general when our original queen chose generals!"
"I'm your original queen!" Ms. Beatia said.
"Silence, woman!" General Nixxiom barked at Ms. Beatia. It looked like he didn't recognize her, like with Luis from way before. He turned his attention back to the rest of the group. "Now listen to me. We will either do this the easy way, or the hard way."
"What's the easy way?" Senpai asked.
"I will have my soldiers quietly and calmly escort you into the ship, and we will take your rhythm and let you go."
"And what's the hard way?" Waluigi asked.
"Then we will do it all by force! And we will throw you into the dungeon in the castle!"
"We'll do it the easy way." Kenzumi said.
"WHAT?!" Satoshi said.
Kenzumi quickly shot a face at him, indicating that this was a plan he was coming up with.
"Very well." General Nixxiom said. He turned to the soldiers behind him and ordered. "Lead them into the back section of the lower deck and wait for instruction. And take the little girl's staff so she doesn't try anything else."
The soldiers did as he commanded, and made the group follow them into the blimp. One of the soldiers also took Ashley's staff. She looked at them in anger and disgust, as that staff was still red in a staff form.
Satoshi didn't know what Kenzumi was planning, but he did see him talking to Orbulon.
When they reached the room they were being lead to, the soldiers made sure to lock the doors so they wouldn't escape. After that, General Nixxiom turned on the screen in the room, and Queen Rhythmia came on screen.
"We have successfully captured your attackers your highness, as well as the company owner." General Nixxiom told her. "How do you wish for us to take their rhythm?"
Queen Rhythmia didn't answer at first, because she was starring at Ms. Beatia, her mother. She hadn't seen her face since Kenzumi showed her on his phone the first time they stopped her. They just stared at each other, not saying anything. As they stared, Queen Rhytmia felt that feeling inside of her grow more and more, mainly because her mother looked sad. She actually felt like she was going to cry.
"You're highness?" General Nixxiom said.
Queen Rhythmia flinched, sucking up potential tears and trying to sound calm and strict, she said, "Well, you may start by ta-"
The screen suddenly turned off as the ship shook after an audible explosion outside.
General Nixxiom and several soldiers went over to one of the windows, and saw a ufo piloted by space bunnies, they were firing at the ship.
"What is the meaning of this?!" General Nixxiom growled.
Unfortunately for him and the soldiers, them checking out the problem gave the group enough time to get away.
The group ran down the ship until they made their way to the area of which the rhythm was being stored. The barrels holding the rhythm glowed a bright pink glow, and it almost smelled sweet.
"So this is pure rhythm huh?" Waluigi asked.
"It is." Ms. Beatia said. "This is what rhythm looks when it is not in the body."
Wario went over to one of the barrels and lifted it above his head. "Why is this so lightweight? This should be as heavy as me!"
"Rhythm is a simple element, it doesn't need to be heavy." Luis said.
"Well, If I was caught, I would surpass everything in this room!"
Wario suddenly lost his balance and ended up falling out the window. Everyone rushed over and saw Wario covered with pure rhythm.
"Classic bro clumsiness!" Waluigi laughed.
The door behind them burst open, and General Nixxiom stormed in, pointing his katana at the group.
"We gave you a chance!" General Nixxiom snarled at them. "Now we will do this the hard way!"
"You can't do anything to us!" 9-Volt said.
"Be quiet! Now come with me, and you shall-"
A sudden glow from outside cut him off. Everyone turned around and looked down to the ground, and saw a huge explosion of light. When the light died down, they stared in awe at what they saw next.
