Kenzumi just left the school lunchroom after eating his lunch and was heading to the school swimming pool. He forgot that the school was holing a contest with another rival school, and today was the first event. And that just so happened to be the Splashdown event. He didn't really care for the competition, but he had to go because attending it was a mandatory thing. So he walked down the hallway with everyone else to view the event.
"LEFT!" General Luis barked his orders at the Rhythm Heaven Soldiers. They were having trouble keeping up with a lack of rhythm, and even Luis was getting tired of giving out these orders. But he knew he had to, because Queen Rhythmia was watching over him, and she wanted to see some well trained soldiers.
"LEFT RIGHT LEFT!"
The soldiers tried their best to keep up, but without any rhythm to help them, it just came out as a sloppy mess. They just fell over or passed out from sheer exhaustion. Some of them just refused to do the orders given to them and went on a form of strike by sitting down on the ground and not listening.
"GET UP AND MARCH MEN! GET UP AND MARCH!" General Luis thought he was going to lose his voice if he just kept yelling.
"General Luis." Queen Rhythmia said as she went over to him. "Why aren't the soldiers doing their instructions? Like I wanted them to do?"
"I don't know your highness, I don't know." General Luis lied. He knew perfectly well that without rhythm, the soldiers could not do well, and he wanted to tell her that, but he knew that would get her mad.
"Are you trying to get yourself banished?"
"No your highness, I am trying your best."
"Well, try harder! And when your done, start looking for a new way to get all the rhythm from earth." Queen Rhythmia stormed out of the room, leaving General Luis frustrated and sad.
Kenzumi sat at a random seat on the bleachers. People were piling in from the door on each side of the room. The school that Kenzumi attended sat on one half of the room, while the rival school sat on the other side. He saw that they wore tight school uniforms that made his other classmates look like kindergarteners. It almost reminded him of the Rhythm Soldiers he faced awhile back, except these guys had a sense of rhythm.
The two swimming teams came in and gotten into the water. Kenzumi could see that the rival school swimming team wore red one piece swimsuits, and their school's swimming team wore orange ones. But what caught his attention was that his girlfriend Senpai was on the team. Now he really wanted the swimming team to win now that he figured it out.
The music started and the teams began their water dancing. They went underwater in time with the music, and even shot right out of the water into the air at certain points. He was really surprised that the girls shot out with some animals, his team got dolphins, and the rival team got seals.
When the music was done, the judges discussed and the results came up on the big screen on the far side of the room. It showed that Kenzumi's swim team won by a few more points that the rival team. Kenzumi and the other classmates cheered, while the rivals booed.
Later that day when they were leaving school for the day, Kenzumi and Senpai were walking to the bus ramp. Senpai's hair was still a bit wet after being in the school swimming pool.
"I didn't know you were on the swimming team." Kenzumi said.
"Yeah, I joined when I transferred over here." Senpai explained. "It's actually really fun, and fitting to, as the temperature is always hot this time in Japan."
"That's true. Well, hopefully the rival school won't win. They don't really look nice."
After that, they got on the bus and they were driven home.
