Nightfall was approaching over Tokyo-to. This signalled that one day had passed for Rooster's offer and he only had six days to go. "Come on, there's still time. We can do this!" Rooster smiled. Gum smiled. "While I appericiate your positivity, maybe we should get some rest first. We'll start tomorrow, okay?" Rooster grinned. "Alrighty then." Pop stuttered. "Y-yeah...Um...I...uh...I'm kinda...afraid of being in the dark...ehehe..." He blushed, embarrassed. Slate nodded. "Fine. I shall keep you company until dawn." Pop smiled and hugged Slate. "T-thank you!..." He then awkwardly let go. "S-sorry...I-I get like that sometimes..." Slate shrugged. "It's quite alright." Rana smiled. "A sleepover with the GG's! Sounds like fun!" Frosch smiled. "Yeah...it'll be great."
Meanwhile, over at the Wave Rider's hide-out in Benten-Cho, Calamari growled. "Well, we didn't catch him today but we will soon!" "Calm down, Cala! Look, we have ALLL the time in the world to catch him! Yay!" Lily giggled. Kyanna nodded her head. "Ooh, the boss is here!" Lily smiled. From the dark, a yellow-haired boy stepped from the shadows. Unlike the other members, he wore white skates with a yellow stripe. Calamari looked at the boy. "Heya, Seabream." "Greetings, Calamari." Seabream spoke. "I assume everything is going as planned?"
Lily nodded. "Yeah! The GG's are bein' chased by the other skaters and Onishima's on the hunt!" "Excellent. You all deserve some rest. Especially you, Calamari. Being stressed will reveal your weakness." Seabream smiled a bit. "Yes, boss..." Calamari walked off and headed to his room. "God, hopefully, I get a good night's sleep at least.." Calamari started to go into a slumber and fell asleep on his bed. He started to dream...
"Hmm..?..Where am I..." Calamari looked around. Around him was a black and white version of Benten-Cho. "What is going on here...?" He was almost knocked down by an oncoming skater. "W-whoa!" He growled and turned around. "Watch it, you little ru-" He then saw what appeared to be a younger version of himself. "Nyeh, nyeh! Can't catch me, Coppers!" The young Calamari blew a raspberry and skated away. "Hey, wait!" The older Calamari ran after the young skater and the cops were well on his tail.
He then remembered what this dream was. It was a past memory from deep within his mind, something he wished he could forget. "Wait! Kid, stop! Stop!" He yelled as he chased the younger skater. The young Calamari laughed as he was skating away from the cops, jumping from rooftop to rooftop. "No..! Please, be careful!" The older Calamari yelled, chasing after the kid. The young Calamari laughed and made a graffiti pattern of a wave however, he had slipped off the rafter and fell to the ground where the cops were lying in wait for him. The young Calamari, being cornered, was visibly terrified.
"No!" The older Calamari screamed as he rushed to the child's rescue but when he encountered the cops, he was suddenly hit back, as if he was punched in the face by a giant fist. He fell to the ground and got up. "Hey!" A shout echoed. The cops turned around to see a grey-haired rudie. "Leave the kid alone. I'm the one who did this." He confessed. The cops wasted no time in arresting the grey-haired man. "Maru! Maru!" The young boy screamed, tears pouring down his face. "No! Take me instead! I did it! Please, just let him go!"
The older Calamari watched in horror. "N-no...Not this again...please...I don't want to remember...!" The grey-haired man turned to the young Calamari. "Run away from here and don't look back. I'll deal with Onishima's punishment." He was shoved into the police car with the Keisatsu bracelets on and was taken away. The young Calamari, in pure sorrow and fear, skated back to the Hideout of the Wave Riders. The older Calamari, in horror, with tears pouring down his eyes. "...Maruluxia...why..." The older Calamari looked to his right, were an oncoming bus was about to run him over.
Calamari screamed as he woke up, breathing hastily. Lily came into his room, with a cup of tea. "Calamari? Are you okay?" She asked. "Y-yes, just fine!" Calamari's tears started to flow. "...Did you have that dream about Maruluxia again?" Lily sighed. "N-no..." Calamari lied. Of course, Lily saw through his lies. "Look, it's okay. He'll come back. I know he will." "No...! Don't give me that memory too!" Calamari screamed at her. "Sorry..." Lily apologised. "Here's some tea-" As soon as Lily gave Calamari the tea, he drank it in one go. "T-there, now leave me alone!" He screamed at her. Lily, in fear, left the room. Calamari was left to wallow in misery. "Maruluxia...why did you do it?"
