Chapter 47 - Chapter XLVII

By morning I was woke up and turned to see 31Darkstar awake then we got out of bed "alright let's focus" I said, so we left the vacant dorm and walked into Riko's office ready to go "Darkstar and Inkcanius. I wasn't expecting your arrival Darkstar" Riko admitted, "forgive me Riko, I came here to help him get his sanctuary back" Darkstar explained looking at Inkcanius "Corona will regret usurping his sanctuary in the first place" I said with supressed rage. "You will Inkcanius, don't let your rage control you okay" Darkstar reassured patting his hand on my shoulder, I nodded as I calm myself down. "right then, we still have one event to beat Sakura Bakushin O and that is Takamatsunomiya Kinen, its a sprint race. Black Caviar get ready for training okay" I said, Black Caviar. Then went off trainer on her own, "thanks Darkstar, I never knew you get worried about me when I lash out" I admitted. "its okay Inkcanius, I know why you're mad because of Corona she did this to you sanctuary hence your anger I know but its make and friends worry about you, don't worry Corona will pay for her crimes" Darkstar reassured "by the way is your other friends helping Emperor at the moment?" I asked "got a message from Emperor himself, he and my friends are taking a break, it made them hungry" Darkstar explained. "Wait they didn't have food? Silly me I should gave them food package" I muttered. "Its okay Inkcanius I gave them plenty of food before I came to you to help" said Darkstar. "thanks Darkstar, I never knew you help despite the controversies I've have done" I said my voice cracking looking at my hands with guilt. Darkstar patted my shoulder "I know Inkcanius but its a start" said Darkstar then he hugs me as I began to cry "let it all out Inkcanius" said Darkstar. I let everything out as I hugged him tightly and broke down in tears. "Is Inkcanius okay?" RIko Kashimoto asked Darkstar. "Inkcanius is okay, he did some things that he wasn't proud out long ago, the Mention Controversy was known he did hurt his friends, myself included but the fallout, the damage already done. A few of my friends I knew went into hiatus, others left while others block Inkcanius seeing him as a bad friend. Then around the year 2022, something was different he was calm alright but he started to isolate himself from others, COVID-19 did hit but he didn't came out, he also moved to his other home Terminus from 2022 to 2025. Something wasn't right about him like he's calm and distant. Like a forgotten relic from a bygone era. By 2023 I was approached by Mustang Colourbright, one of Inkcanius' foster kids he took in. He said "excuse me but have you seem my Adoptive Father Inkcanius?" he asked, I said to Mustang "no I haven't seen him. Why are you worried?" then out of the blue. The Squid Sisters, Off the Hook and Deep Cut were broadcasting breaking news saying that Inkcanius Splatoonus has gone missing, its been two years since Inkcanius vanished and no-one knows what happened to him. Even Inkcanius' former friends got worried even I got about him. This wasn't Inkcanius' behaviour at all I thought that Inkcanius known for his friendly, calm and Philippine Nature-like personality but he didn't appeared for four whole years from 2022-2025. But on New Years Day of January 1st 2026 he was found at a Team Fortress Map called Applejack. Applejack the pony was worried and shocked to see Inkcanius again but the problem is that his personality was changed, he wasn't his old self anymore until now" said Darkstar. 

Darkstar and I broke the hug as he sees my eyes completely red rimmed, "I worried that Inkcanius wasn't his old self when I met him but, his new self but deep down I knew the old Inkcanius I knew was beneath this new version of Inkcanius. And it somehow it work, I know you made a lot of things you weren't proud of Inkcanius but seeing yourself vanish and let your friends worry that wasn't the way to heal you, deep down you were hurting and you didn't know how to react. isolating yourself had deepen your wound not heal. You have a long road ahead and you're not doing this alone" Darkstar comforted me "thanks... Darkstar" I said, as I wipe my tears off my face. "Tracen Academy home of Umamusune: Pretty Derby. Honestly I never played that game before but seeing horsegirls race you must seen weird and wacky things" Darkstar admitted. "Well since I'm the architect of the Infinitiverse its my duty to see the weird, wild, wacky, odd, mundane and much more even the gross and confronting" I admitted. Darkstar softly laughed. "Its okay Inkcanius you seen pretty much everything its your role as god or deity anyway let's watch Black Caviar train, the race for the Takamatsunomiya Kinen looms in the horizon" said Darkstar.
