The stadium was noisy with cheer as Milky Queen left the arena into the halls. Riceman decided to run ahead of Calliope and follow after Milky. However, the little rice grain soon witnessed a terrible scene. While the others weren't looking, the newly crowned champion was suddenly captured, gagged, and thrown into the back of a company bread truck by a group of men with heads of sliced bread. The truck drove off into the distance.
After a while, the truck doors opened back up at their destination. The little rice princess found herself in a strange facility with pipes, valves, and heavy machinery. Escorted through the walkways, hallways, and stairs by the bread people, she was eventually brought into a huge room where a giant machine whirred and loomed over sinisterly in the back and the left and right walls were lined with cages. The cages had the captured rice people from the kingdom. They all looked in despair, seeing their future ruler had been captured. The doors closed behind them.
Suddenly, everyone's focus shifted to the man talking at the center of the room. His men ungagged Milky Queen who, then, asked who he is and why was he doing this. The man introduced himself as Brad Mann, CEO of The BreAD Guys Co. He explained that he was building a world where only his company would thrive, having full control all of the grain products everywhere with no one to stop him. That, of course, especially meant Milky Queen and the rulers of the two other kingdoms. And with just one of the three kingdoms gone permanently, the strength of the two other kingdoms combined would barely be enough to stop him and eventually fall under his might. With no rulers left, the rice people would have no choice but to accept him as their new tyrannical ruler.
And so, Mr. Mann ordered his bread-headed goons to bury Milky Queen in a thick layer of dough before having her baked alive in the large Bake-O-Tron 3000 behind him. But before anyone could do anything, a large explosion was heard, shaking the whole facility. Mr. Mann demanded the man in charge of the security cameras to tell him what was going on. The security guard could not make out what it was, but the intruder was approaching to their location fast. The doors blew open. The smoke cleared, revealing a pink-haired girl clad in a dark shadowy clothing. Calliope Mori.
The CEO was confused on how the intruder found their secret base of operations, only for his thoughts to be interrupted by a ringtone. He turned and saw a little anthropomorphic grain of rice holding a smartphone.
