The four and Eglantine met up at the entrance just as they got out. General Luis and some soldiers were right behind them.

"How long have you been kidnapped?" Kanzumi asked Eglantine as they ran.

"For a little over a week." Eglantine. "I tried to call you for help, but they took away my phone."

"Speaking of which," Kenzumi pulled his phone out of his pocket and called the Antartica Base.

"Are all the ships destroyed?" Asked the commander at the end of the receiver.

"They sure are. Now we just need the ship to get out of here. Can you bring it to us."

"Uh, about that. We had to bring the ship outside the star, as it was getting overheated. So we need you figure out a way to get outside the star."

Before Kenzumi could question that, the commander hung up on him.

"The ship is outside of the star." Kenzumi said.

"And how are we gonna get outside the star?" Satoshi asked.

"STOP!" Senpai yelled.

Everyone stopped dead in there tracks as they neared the edge of a long drop. They looked down, and saw a long road several feet below. If they would attempt to drop down and miss it, they would inevitably fall out into the empty void of space.

"So, now what?" Satoshi asked. "We're to far from the castle to go on the Night Walk."

"Should we jump?" Karate Joe asked.

"DO NOT BE A FOOL YOU MONOCROMATIC MAN!" Eglantine snarled.

"I actually think that's our best option." Senpai said, pointing behind them. They saw that General Luis and several soldiers were very close to catching up.

"We're out of options!" Kenzumi said. "Everyone jump!"

They all jumped down to the road below, just as General Luis and his soldiers caught up. They fell down slowly due to less gravity.

"Men, jump down!" General Luis commanded. But instead, the soldiers either fell asleep, were to exhausted to do anything, or just went on strike.

"Get up and jump you maggots! Get up and jump!" General Luis barked at his soldiers to get them to do his orders, but he only got responses that got him more frustrated.

"We're to tired."

"I don't want to do this."

"I wanna go to sleep."

"This it to much for me."

General Luis gave up on the soldiers, so he grabbed one of the rhythm suction guns and said, "Fine, suit yourselves. If you want something done right, you gotta do it yourself." He jumped down and continued the chase by himself.

When the five landed, they saw that the opening to space was about a mile away.

"I guess we just make a run for it." Kenzumi said.

They started to run down the long road. They looked behind them and saw General Luis landing on the road and giving chase, so they ran faster.

Then, all of the sudden, a group of Airboarders came surfing down the road on air.

"Need some help?" One of the Airboarders asked.

"You bet." Kenzumi said.

As soon as he said that, some airboards popped up right next to them. So they jumped on and joined along for the ride. However, a airboard appeared next to General Luis as well. So he took it and continued the chase on that.

"Watch out for the blocks." The Airboarders said. "Just duck and jump to the rhythm."

They saw that some super huge toy blocks were coming right towards them. They ducked under the ones that would hit there heads, and jumped over the ones with blue blocks. When General Luis tried to knock them down with his rhythm suction gun, he only got hit by the blocks that fell down on him.

The five then noticed a dog wearing some red headphones was running along the top arch of the road. "Hello there!" He said. "My name is Barista, and I'm here to escape with you!"

They eventually reached the end of the road, and jumped off of their airboards and flew out of the star. They flew through the star and out, and Eglantine and Barista had to hold their breaths since they didn't have fishbowl helmets. They saw that the ship was just up ahead, and they swan to it like they were in a giant swimming pool.

They got into the ship and strapped their seat belts in. As soon as they were strapped in, the ship turned to the direction of the earth and blasted off with the speed of light.

Back in the star, General Luis finally reached the end of the road. He felt upset and defeated after all of that. He let them get away, and he let them ruin Queen Rhythmia's plans. He had a really bad feeling about what she would do of him, but he had to get back to the castle. So he started making his way back to the castle.

When General Luis finally made his way back to the castle, he went inside and saw Queen Rhythmia standing in the main hall, and some guards were standing behind her. She did not look happy.

"Well, it looks like you failed me again." Queen Rhythmia said.

"Uh, yes, it seems as though I did." General Luis said.

"You know what that means, right?"

Before General Luis could asked what she meant, some guards grabbed him and held him up. Queen Rhythmia then grabbed his general's badge and ripped it off of his uniform. "It's banishment time for you." She said with venom in her voice. She lead the guards holding onto General Luis to the banishment room.

When they reached the banishment room, the soldiers strapped General Luis to a table that stood up right, and Queen Rhythmia turned on the banishment portal.

"I'll take it from here boys." Queen Rhythmia said, and the two guards left the room, leaving her and General Luis alone.

"Your highness, I beg of you!" General Luis pleaded. "Give me another chance!"

"Sorry Luis. You ran out of chances, like using up all your chances on a perfect."

"But I only failed you two times!"

"Three if you count the time you failed me when I first sent you down. So, you're done here." Queen Rhythmia pulled a lever and made the table move closer to the portal. "But before you go, since I know you won't be coming back, I might as well let you in on a little secret."

"What do you mean?"

"You know how I said that my mother went away to travel to new places?"

"Yes?"

"Well, I lied. I threw her out."

"WHAT!? WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?!"

"Because she wouldn't let me be queen. So she's with those bratty kids you've been dealing with."

General Luis tried to struggle free, but Queen Rhythmia said, "So long, sucker!" And she launched him into the banishment portal, leaving him forever banished from Rhythm Heaven.

Queen Rhythmia then left the banishment room, glad with herself that she finally got rid of General Luis.

Some guards came over to Queen Rhythmia. "How did he handle it?" One asked.

"He sure was not happy." She answered. "He even tried to accuse me of throwing my mother out! How can he be so cruel! Anyways, begin looking for a new general, we're gonna need one."

The soldiers then left her, and she then turned to a window. She thought about what Satoshi said earlier about not seeing what the outside of her kingdom looked like. As she knew he was right, she hadn't seen the outside of her kingdom since before she threw her mom out.

So she went over to the window and looked out of it, and what she saw next truly did surprise her. She saw how bland and miserable it looked. She could see how the citizens were miserably suffering without their rhythm.

This is definitely not what I was expecting. She thought to herself. I had no idea the people would be this bad. Is this really okay?

"NO!" She said to herself. "I'm the queen now! I can get all the rhythm I want! Who cares about the people? My mom should've let me be the queen from the beginning!"

She then thought about her mother, and how it was a really long time she saw her in person.

She then huffed to herself and walked away back to her throne, blocking off the memory of her mother, and trying to ignore whatever feeling that was slowly growing inside of her.

The ship landed right outside Kenzumi's house, and everyone got out. They took off their fishbowl helmets as the ship flew away, back to Antartica.

"Well, that was pretty fun." Kenzumi said.

"Yeah," Satoshi said. "My favorite part was when we heard that explosion went off. That was from the machines making the ships, right?"

"You bet. That means Queen Rhythmia won't be able to use them again."

"Good thing for that."

Ms. Beatia came out of the house and greeted them all.

"You did such a good job." She said. "They just announced on the news that the earth is safe, and the Pop Show can go on tomorrow night."

"Oh yeah, I almost forgot!" Senpai said. She turned to Eglantine and said, "Say Eglantine, we have an extra ticket to the Pop Show. Do you want to come with us?"

"Actually, I already got a ticket." Eglantine said. "I bought it a day before I got taken away. Sorry."

"Alright then, that's okay." Senpai turned to Karate Joe and said, "Do want to go the Pop Show with us Karate Joe?"

"Sorry, but I also already got myself a ticket." Karate Joe said. "My master gave one to me as a reward."

"Oh." Senpai then turned to Barista. "Do want to come with us?"

"I already have VIP access." Barista said.

"Well that's just great." Satoshi said. "We saved Eglantine and won the day, and we still don't have anyone else to give our extra ticket to."

"Who else are we supposed to give the ticket to?" Kenzumi asked.

At that moment, a little portal popped up right in front of them. They turned to it, and saw that it was slowly opening. And then, General Luis dropped out of it and the portal disappeared. He got up and faced the group.

"General Luis?" Kenzumi said.

"Salutations." General Luis said in a pained voice.

"Are you here to take our rhythm again for your queen?" Satoshi asked. "Because if you are, she can't have it."

"No, I'm not here to take your rhythm. I'm here to stay."

"What do you mean?" Senpai asked.

"I just got banished by Queen Rhythmia. So I'm stuck on this planet." He then walked up to Ms. Beatia and said, "As for you, are you really the original Queen Beatia?"

"Yes, I am." Ms. Beatia said.

General Luis looked at her for a moment, before sighing and said, "My very deepest apologies for not believing you before, your highness."

"That's okay Luis, and we're sorry you had to put up my daughter for the past few months. I do hope there's a way we can make it up to you."

"He can go to the Pop show with us tonight." Senpai said.

"Yeah, he should get some rhythm back in his body." Satoshi said.

"That does sound like a good idea." Ms. Beatia said. She then asked Luis, "Do you want to come to the show with us tonight."

"Of course." He answered. "It would be an honor to come. Thank you, your highness."

"You're very welcome Luis. Also, you can just call me Ms. Beatia."

"Of course, I shall do so, Ms. Beatia."

They all laughed and went on with their day. Eglantine, Karate Joe and Barista went home to relax before the Pop Show. While the heroes brought Luis inside the house to get him aquatinted.
