General Nixxiom chased after Kenzumi and his friends until they were rejoined by Satoshi and his group. After that, it was one big race to the top of the castle. General Nixxiom assumed that Queen Rhythmia heard what he had planned for her, from Senpai's phone. And after Kenzumi and the gang ruined his plan, he might as well take them out.
They all eventually made it to the top of the Rhythm Heaven Castle. At that point, it was near the top of the star they were all in. All the other islands were way down below, close to the bottom. And at the very bottom was the banishment portal device, which was starting to act erratically.
Kenzumi and the gang circled around the outer rim of the castle, until they hit a dead end at a long balcony, below them was surely a several thousand mile drop into outer space. All they could see of the castle from the height that they were on was the ball on top that had the smiley face on it.
"At last!" General Nixxiom bellowed. "I have you cornered! Did you really think you could get away?!"
"Even if we could, you probably won't get off scot free either." Kenzumi said.
"Yeah, Queen Rhythmia knows everything about what you plan to do to her." Satoshi said.
"I don't care!" General Nixxiom snarled. "I may no longer be the general now, but at least I get to take you guys out! And as for Queen Rhythmia, forget about her! She will get what's coming to her after banishing her own mother!"
"Wait, you knew that she banished her?!" Kenzumi asked in astonishment.
"I always knew, ever since the day she took all the rhythm away, and the day when she announce she will be the new queen. I could see past her little act, her little ploy."
"Then why didn't you tell everyone about it when you had the chance?" MC Adore asked.
"Please, do you really expect the people of the castle to believe a lowly citizen who has to say something against the queen?"
"Good point."
"So after Luis was banished," Satoshi said, trying to figure everything else out. "It was your goal to gather the rhythm that she wanted. That way you could gain enough to have the power to overthrow her and banish her!"
"You are correct little boy." General Nixxiom said. "And as for going to earth to take down the original Queen Beatia, that is for revenge for not letting me be the general in the first place. Everything was perfect, and I was ready to pull of my master plan. Or at least I would be able to, until you little brats came along and ruined everything for me! And now, thanks to you, I will be banished!"
"Then why are you trying to chase us?" Kenzumi asked.
"Because, even though I will be banished, why not take you guys down in the meantime? So here, take this."
General Nixxiom threw a long stick at them, and Kenzumi caught it. When he caught it, he realized that it was a sword holder. He pulled it out, and saw that it was a katana.
"Why are you giving me a katana?" Kenzumi asked.
"So that we have an even fight." General Nixxiom answered. "But you will not be given an overall advantage. Now gather up your courage, and prepare yourself for a one on one duel!"
"Bro, do you even know how to use a katana?" Satoshi asked.
"No?" Kenzumi said nervously.
"You can do it!" Senpai said encouragingly. "Just do what the wandering samurai would do!"
"Okay then. I guess I'm ready to do this."
"Then have at you!" General Nixxiom said.
Kenzumi and General Nixxiom proceeded to do a katana fight. Kenzumi knew that General Nixxiom was a master at this, as he kept on swinging, leading Kenzumi to constantly block. Kenzumi did manage to hit General Nixxiom a few times, but he only cut some of his hair and damaged his uniform.
After a while, Kenzumi got lucky and knocked General Nixxiom's katana out of his hands, and it fell down the balcony.
From down below, many of the citizens of Rhythm Heaven, as well as everyone in the castle (Except Queen Rhythmia), looked up the fight, and the falling katana. Luckily the katana wasn't under anyone, and just fell down to the bottom of Rhythm Heaven. The blade of the katana bounced off of the banishment portal, causing it to act worse.
"I can't believe I did it!" Kenzumi said, impressed with himself.
"So cool." Senpai said.
"Awesome!" Marshal said.
"That was just pure luck." General Nixxiom said. "I was well know in Queen Beatia's original army as the very best swordsman, and as for you, you're nothing."
"But I along with all my friend saved the earth three separate times." Kenzumi said. "Four if you count right now."
"That may be true, but you're still a young boy, not a strong adult like me! You may have beaten me, but you-"
General Nixxiom was cut off when there was a sudden rumbling all over Rhythm Heaven. Everyone then felt like they were being pulled downwards with a strong pull of gravity. They all looked downwards, and saw that the banishment portal was getting out of control, and was growing in massive size. It was pulling some of the islands down, and the people from down below were being pulled into the giant portal.
"Let's blow this popsicle stand!" Satoshi said.
So Kenzumi and the gang ran back into the castle to find a way out of Rhythm Heaven before they would be pulled through the banishment portal. General Nixxiom got up and chased after them. "Get back here you brats!" He snarled.
