My group and I arrived at the edge of New Yoke City, I turned to see Nine looking at Tails waking up "ow... what happened?" Tails asked "unfortunately my step-sister Corona brainwashed you, she does a silver tongue" said Hanta, Tails was mad at himself "I knew something is off about Corona" Tails said to himself, "everyone fell for Corona's silver tongue" said Nine, Tails jumps off Nine "thanks for rescuing me Inkcanius" said Tails, "you're welcome Tails" I said, then turned to see Maeka, Arima and Raita "we will be heading back to Shattered Inkopolis to help Emperor" said Maeka "okay then Maeka take care you three and be careful" I said. Maeka, Arima and Raita nodded and headed back to Shattered Inkopolis, Hanta looked me "I know you and Emperor weren't the best of friends after the fallout of the mention controversy but do you think your friends will forgive me despite what you have done?" Hanta asked me "unfortunately no, there's a slim chance in hell that my former friends would forever forgive me for what I've done" I admitted, "besides that ship has already sailed and I have deal with the consequences of what I've done if I like it or not" I said. "You're not wrong my friend, it will be your most lingering burden yet" said Shadow, I nodded before looking at New Yoke City "New Yoke City is upon us" said Maria. As we walked towards the edge of New Yoke City, I felt a smell of metal in the air then looked up to see a figure standing on top of the highest building "Rusty Rose" I said, Rusty Rose looked at my group below jumped into the air and lands on the ground "Inkcanius Splatoonus, I knew you would spoil my Master's plan. YOU WILL be stopped here and now" said Rusty Rose her voice, void of emotion and robot-like. I unsheathed my X-Blade and looked at Rusty Rose, while Queen Hivemind switched forms from Princess Celestia to Twilight Sparkle, "Be careful Inkcanius this cyborg has no weaknesses so be on guard" said Queen Hivemind, I nodded in response "Inkcanius is known for his self-confidence and self-resilience but does he have the endurance to fight against a cyborg like Rusty Rose?" Shadow thought to himself "why would say that Shadow, you all might get worried if I push myself too hard" I explained, "that is true but we don't know if Rusty Rose has a limit hence we want to see you endure a long fight ahead of you" said Sonic.
I was surprised, "okay then" as I, walked forward then looked at Rusty Rose "you won't survive this encounter" said Rusty Rose, "fate says otherwise, now let's see if you have a limit" I said, on top of the highest building, Renegade Knucks was watching the fight below "I see alpha target as requested" said Renegade "good watch the fight, I want to see Inkcanius lose" said Corona, as Rusty Rose tried to strike me, I parried her attack "alpha target just parried her attack" said Renegade with shock "but that's impossible" said Corona, "never underestimate Inkcanius Splatoonus" Renegade warned Corona. Corona growled "what do you mean" she said "Inkcanius is a god, a deity, he created Planet Harmony his sanctuary with his own two hands, as for you, you don't respect Inkcanius you were jealous of him. Wanted that Inkcanius created all for yourself. That's why never underestimate a god you don't like what I'm saying but I'm saying this as a reminder Corona" said Renegade. I continue to fight against Rusty Rose striking her weak points before jumping back. "Still no signs of fatigue" said Shadow "I told you won't survive this encounter" Rusty Rose shouted, as she tried to move her right leg was acting sluggish "her right leg is starting to get signs of fatigue" said Nine. I got up partly fatigued "you're not at your limit yet Inkcanius, there still time Rusty's right leg is acting sluggish, meaning its clear sign of fatigue but despite that she's still live and kicking" Nine whispered to me. "I see, that means she does have a limit but we don't know when she hits her limit" I said, "only time will tell, as for my master Toby_Art he decided to head to Deepsea Metro Sanctuary" said Queen Hivemind, "I hope he gets there in one piece" I said before looking back at Rusty Rose. I then ran towards Rusty Rose to continue the fight, while Rusty Rose match my speed step for step. I jump back while Rusty Rose ran to strike me but, I see her right leg acting really sluggish so I ran towards her and struck Rusty Rose on the right leg Rusty and I didn't make a move and didn't made a sound then Rusty Rose collapsed on one knee "wha?!... Impossible how" said Rusty Rose with shock, I swing my X-Blade "unfortunately your right leg was acting sluggish you thought that you're weakless but somehow I prove you wrong there is limit and it came at the perfect time" I said. Renegade Knucks was astonished "alpha target struck Rusty Rose, he knew that her right leg acting sluggish knowing there was a limit but when it appears he exploit it" he said, Corona can't believe it "this deity is getting on my nerves" Corona growled. "I told you never underestimate Inkcanius Splatoonus, looks like alpha target has defeated Rusty Rose I might need to tell Chaos Council now" said Renegade and left.
Rusty Rose looked at top centre building. Renegade had abandoned her and Corona's magic vanished her flesh-like eyes returned to a normal heterochromatic green and pink "I knew Corona couldn't be trust" said Rusty Rose, as she carefully gets up "its okay, everyone throughout my sanctuary has fallen for my step-sister's silver tongue I'm just glad you're okay" I said. Rusty Rose, myself and my crew were in a high rise building located at the edge of New Yoke City "its not much but its enough for temporary base Inkcanius" said Rusty Rose. I nodded "thanks Rusty" I said with a soft smile, I looked at my phone and got a message from Toby_Art saying 'I'm at the Deepsea Metro Sanctuary so I'm a okay' I smiled and replied back saying 'good I'm glad you got there in one piece' before I looked at Rusty Rose "we have a long road ahead if you want to stop Corona" said Rusty Rose.
Back at Shattered Inkopolis. Emperor turned to see 31Darkstar with a concern look on his face "worried about Inkcanius?" Emperor asked Darkstar, "yes I am" said Darkstar. "He's okay, currently at New Yoke City and he's not alone" said Emperor with a soft smile "rest for now Darkstar, I'll be busy making amends for what I did to this place. Knowing that I'm going to face the demons of my past head on" said Emperor before he leaped off Tokyo Tower as he continue to find more my former friends.
