Meanwhile back at Yayoi's office, they were shocked that El Condor Pasa had switched sides "Tamamo Cross has beaten El Condor Pasa fair and square. Not only that they are waiting for their challenger" said Tazuna. "Damn you Inkcanius... why you have to make this harder for me and my sister Corona" said Beta with supressed rage. "For now we take a break and try to regain the advantage" said Yayoi. "Good idea Director" said Beta. I was eavesdropping on their conversation then immediately left walking back to Riko's office. "Any luck?" Riko asked me, "they are taking a break for now thinking of a solution to have an advantage against us" I explained. "I see this is bad, we will do the same we need to think of a solution to have an advantage against them" said Rigatona. So both sides began brainstorm about strategies to gain the upper hand on the other. I look through strategy after strategy "this will be a long day" I said, "you're right there Inkcanius" said Bitter Glasse. As night fell I was in a vacant dorm in a call with Emperor and his friends at Shattered Inkopolis "hey Inkcanius its good to see you're okay, how's Tracen at the moment?" 31Darkstar asked me "it can be tiring Darkstar, training Umamusunes and seeing them race against our challengers it can long" I admitted "its okay Inkcanius you'll get used to it besides you got patient after your time of impatience. We are currently taking a break here. Emperor just found and revived my allies; Stella, Vio and Vivian" said Darkstar. "That's nice Darkstar" I said, "it will be a long day for you and Emperor. Let's hope we can sleep lighter after Corona is defeated" Darkstar admitted "we will, but its a long road ahead and Emperor and I will walk it together either with allies or not" I said, "of course Inkcanius. Okay I'll go now, Double-G is getting restless and always feel worried about you" said Darkstar. "its okay Darkstar take care" I said then the call ended. I look to see Special Week walk in "forgive me Special Week, I was in a call with my friends, just checking on me" I said. "its nice that your friends still care for you" said Special Week. "Thanks Special Week any luck on strategy advantage?" I asked Special Week.
"Unfortunately no so we decided to stick to your old strategy, train until we beat our challenger at race day" said Special Week. "I see so we are sticking to our strategy we don't want to be cutting corners now do we" I said, "right Inkcanius" said Special Week. "For now we should get some shut eye" I said, so Special Week and I slept. Meanwhile back at Shattered Inkopolis, 31Darkstar was with Emperor looking for anyone to be revived. "Do you still haunted by what you have done?" 31Darkstar asked Emperor. "I still do but its doesn't mean I'm forgiven for what I've done" said Emperor, "Don't say that Emperor its your fault, Cobalt AKA Blue part of Black Rose's crew he wasn't thinking straight, we knew the consequences for doing a prank too far. You'll be pardoned after this is over" said 31Darkstar. "I'm surprised that revived your allies Stella, Vio and Vivian after I found them" Emperor admitted "well I created them and you didn't abandon them, at least you're doing the right thing, I wonder Solaris is located right now when Emperor's Hidden Anger ended" 31Darkstar thought. "Beats me" said Emperor. Emperor and 31Darkstar arrived at the Shattered Plaza seeing Tokyo Tower destroyed by the Killswitch and still covered by dry ink. "I'm curious about Inkcanius' Friendly Strangers Gang. I know its an odd and strange gang but why did Karuji, Darkchromus, Funabi, Sanazo, Matthias and Inkcanius himself founded the gang in the first place?" 31Darkstar asked Emperor. "They founded the gang to combat the corrupted gangs of underworld across the globe it maybe their most ambitious idea yet" said Emperor. "To tackle the gangs of the underworld across the globe, it is the most ambitious idea ever" Darkstar admitted.
