After the games were over, Satoshi sat outside the stadium in a bad mood. He really wanted to show how good his sense of rhythm was to everyone, even Queen Rhythmia if she could see it, but he failed on the last hit. He could only hope that MC Adore wouldn't hate him for that.

Then, he saw MC Adore come up to him. "Hey there man." She said.

"Hey MC." Satoshi said. "Sorry if I didn't impress you on TV."

"That's okay, you tried your best."

"Yeah, but my bro told me that the pitcher was going to get upset if I won. And I did saw how happy she was when I lost, so I guess he had a point."

"Well, why don't you sleep over at my house tonight. I have this cool piano we could play together."

"Sure, I would love that, like how I love you."

Satoshi got up and the two began walking to MC's house.

Up in Rhythm Heaven, General Nixxiom looked at the scientist with a look of malice. They were working hard on the plan to take the rhythm from the earth, and nothing could go wrong.

"Those kids will not be able to stop my plans." General Nixxiom said to himself. "Once this is over, all rhythm from the earth will be the queen's. She will be so proud of me!"

General Nixxiom left to go back to his quarters, continuing to talk to himself.

"As for her mother, why should I care for her? She turned me down for that lowlife Luis! If I ever see her again, I swear I will make her pay for not selecting me!"

It was a good thing no other soldiers, or the queen for that matter, were around when he said that, or else banishment would be a no brainer.

He made his way back to his quarters, and found a shadow ball going through his stuff. He charged over to it and grabbed it.

"Thought you could take my stuff eh?" He said to the shadow ball. "Well, how's about a little trip down the banishment portal?"

General Nixxiom carried the shadow ball as he brought it to the banishment room. The whole time, the shadow ball kept screeching. Though Nixxiom just assumed it was just crying in frustration.

When they made it to the banishment portal, General Nixxiom turned it on and threw the shadow ball inside. He was about to leave, when he noticed a whole bunch of shadow balls coming his way. He quickly jumped out of the way, and the shadow balls flew into the banishment portal until there were none left.

Apparently that cry the shadow ball was making was a cry for help, and any other shadow balls that heard it went to help it. General Nixxiom was actually impressed by their loyalty to species.

But he just got up, shrugged it off, and left the banishment room.

Satoshi and MC Adore walked down the sidewalk in the city. It was raining vey lightly, and it seemed pretty peaceful.

"By the way," MC Adore said, breaking the silence. "How long have you and your bro had to deal with Queen Rhythmia?"

"For a few months now." Satoshi said. "Ms. Beatia first arrived when my bro was starting his first few weeks in high school, so she's been living with us since then. I wonder what Queen Rhythmia is planning next. She never learns."

"I doubt she does from what you told me. By the way, have you heard of this knockoff rhythm game on the app store?"

"I don't think so, what is it?"

"It's this low quality rhythm game that straight up steals the games it is trying to rip off. I can show you if you like."

MC Adore pulled her phone out of her pocket to show Satoshi the knockoff game, but a shadow ball swooped down and grabbed the phone by its mouth. MC Adore fell down as the shadow ball flew away with the phone.

"My phone!" MC Adore said.

"Was that a shadow ball?" Satoshi said. "I've seen those before."

"Well that thing stole my phone!"

They turned around and saw someone standing behind them. It was the Wandering Samurai. He stood there in a confident stance, and looked off to where the shadow ball went to.

Before Satoshi and MC Adore could say anything, the Wandering Samurai rushed off to chase down the shadow ball.

"He'll take care of it." Satoshi said.

The Wandering Samurai at the location and found all the shadow balls manifested into a small dark cloud. Suddenly, a bunch of green eyes popped out and on cue, the Wandering Samurai sliced all of them as they came flying out. Occasionally some red eyes popped up, and out came a shadow ball of any size. This went on until the last shadow ball, which held MC Adore's phone popped out. After that one was sliced up, the dark cloud disappeared.

After all was said and done, the Wandering Samurai returned the phone to MC Adore and went off into the night. She and Satoshi then continued to walk to MC's home.
