After finding a landing spot and whipping off some star matter on the front window, the four got out of the spaceship and were facing a long hallway.

"Well, here we are again." Kenzumi said.

"I never thought we would be back here so soon." Satoshi said.

"This place is surprisingly cool in temperature." Karate Joe said. "Pretty impressive for a star."

"This is just the outside." Senpai said. "Just wait until we reach the town and castle."

"Speaking of which," Kenzumi interrupted. "Let's get to the Rhythm Heaven Castle and stop the production of these ships before more are made."

The four agreed and began running down the long hallway.

"Why did those ships fail?" Queen Rhythmia asked General Luis, who was trying to hide his panic.

"I do not know your highness." General Luis spurted out. "Some enemies from earth came and are trying to thwart us."

"I should've known better than to let you be the general. I should banish you right here and now."

"Wait a minute your highness, please, look on the bright side. Our ship cloning machine is still up and running. So we can still make more and send them down to earth to take the rhythm. As for the one's who are trying to thwart us, I'll have my men find them and take them down. Trust me, I got this."

Queen Rhythmia glared at him for a solid minute without saying anything. After that, she finally said, "Fine, I'll let you continue on. You're lucky that I'm in a pretty good mood after mocking Eglantine. Once the mocking is done, the rhythm she has will be mine. Now make sure you do your job, and do NOT fail me!"

Queen Rhythmia stormed out of the room, and General Luis sighed in relieve.

"There's the door!" Kenzumi shouted as he and the rest were running down the hallway. "Let's go through it before-"

"HALT!" The Gatekeeper Trio shouted as they suddenly appeared in front of the door.

The four stopped dead in their tracks, and Kenzumi flatly finished his sentence, "They show up."

"We see that you have returned once again." Saltwater said. "Well, as from before, you must pass a rhythm test to get through this door to enter Rhythm Heaven."

"Hey!" Saffron said. "How come Saltwater is the ominous one now? I thought it was my turn."

"Silence Saffron!" Paprika said. "Do not ruin the moment."

"Whatever."

"Anyways," Saltwater continued. "Your leader must past another test to get in and stop Queen Rhythmia. But be warned, this test will be much harder than the last."

A puff of smoke popped over Kenzumi, and he caught a golden coin with a smiley face on both sides. Saltwater continued to explain.

"For this test to be won, you must catch this coin fifteen times after a three second timespan. After each five catches, the three seconds will last longer and longer. You will only have one shot at this, or you must pay to try again."

"SHALL YOU WIN THIS CHALLENGE?" The Gatekeeper Trio all said.

Satoshi stepped up and said, "I could do it. I was practicing it a while ago."

"No, the leader must do it." Saltwater said.

"You know, unless you want to pay to play." Saltwater said, and the rest of the Gatekeeper Trio glared at him. So he said, "Sorry."

"Well bro." Satoshi said to Kenzumi. "I guess it's up to you. Just count the three seconds in your head."

"Good luck!" Senpai said.

Kenzumi nodded, and flicked the coin up into the air. He counted to three in his head, and as soon as he counted to three, he caught the coin. He flicked it up again, and he swore he could hear some crowd laughing in delight.

He kept it up with the rest of the challenge, and knew to count slower when he had to. He kept that up until he caught the coin for the fifteenth time.

"Very impressive." Saltwater said. "You have passed our test."

"YOU MAY PROCEED ON YOUR JOURNEY!" The Gatekeeper Trio said as they opened the door for them. And the four rushed through it.
