## Chapter Guide

Rider & Team Yellow-Green take on the defending champions; Team Emperor! Can they prevail against his imperial forces?!

## Plot

Team Yellow-Green are facing Team Emperor in the semifinals, The match begins with Team Yellow-Green making their way to the centre, They see Team Emperor painting and approaching slowly so they go to attack them, Bamboo Hat and School Uniform does a rapid splatling attack on N-Pacer whist Rider and Stealth Goggles attacks the other members in pairs! They keep Team Emperor away with long range attacks, Rider is working with his teammates! despite not wanting to do that before! And because of this, they’ve became a great team!

**BUT THEN…** Stealth Goggles and Rider were struck down by the ruthlessly notorious Emperor! N-Pacer cripples Bamboo Hat and School Uniform! **ALL OF TEAM YELLOW-GREEN ARE DOWN!!** They couldn’t even beat the King! All the routes that Team Emperor walked across has been perfectly painted as all 4 members will gracefully paint across the entire stage from corner to corner, this is the **EMPEROR ROAD!!**

At that point, Imperial forces has reached the central area and Rider will be in serious trouble if they don’t stop them! So he and his team do a four-on-one on Emperor! But Emperor managed to maneuver past them and strikes Rider’s teammates down. Emperor tells Rider that he cannot defeat him, but Rider refuses to give up and fights back desperately!

Goggles cheers on for Rider and some other inklings are worried that Rider isn’t good enough to beat Emperor but Specs and Headphones tell them it’s not true. Goggles then holds up some posters of Rider’s past and Rider gets very, very, mad at him! He is cornered by Imperial forces and his teammates are running from their spawn point to him, But he then orders them to hurry up and paint the floor as they are here to fire the special weapons! Emperor then tells him that a leader who doesn’t work with his team will only lose, just like in the past! Rider hasn’t changed yet but maybe he still doesn’t believe in his teammates?! Goggles believes that Rider can do something about it!

At that point, Rider collapsed onto the stage and it looks as it he has run out of strength! Emperor still sees it as something that a lowly commoner could do, and Rider couldn’t do anything. Rider then signals Bamboo Hat and School Uniform to fire their sting ray special weapons, forcing Team Emperor to huddle in the middle, but Emperor tells them to dodge their attacks. Stealth Goggles follows up with a barrage of Tenta Missiles, creating a huge explosion! No one would have been able to stand up to that! Rider has delayed Team Emperor’s advance and kept them busy for them! He then orders them to paint the stage back but then… Steath Goggles was shot! It turns out Team Emperor has **DODGED** the 2 phase attack, and Emperor tells Rider to entertain him even more!

**WILL Rider dethrone Emperor?!**
