Daybreak Town

[Apollymi]

"Yep, time to move." And with that Lilynette joined the change in venue by hopping up, such a movement would lead to dent being left behind in the ground as she found higher ground to avoid their Master, and her friends' rather friendly but dangerous competition. Which seemed to be heating up in present moments.

"I suppose we could." she said as she shifted around, recalling her Keyblade after a few strikes were dodged and met by a barrier of some sort. She fully acknowledged the boy's words about their ongoing cliche and she seemed to find it amusing in some way. "And I thought I was the one who read one too many novels. Just as well... when we start taking this more seriously... they may begin to understand." she thought absently. She knew that most didn't understand why the group chosen by the Master was chosen as they were, but if the boy before her wore a crown of flames... then the young woman donned one of lightning, as flames began to grow and spread from a single command the woman didn't seem at all concerned. In fact the only change in her countenance was a raise of her Keyblade which left it pointed at the sky. "Thunder." A gentle twist of her wrist and a word seemed to call down multiple bolts of strong lighting aiming to strike each of the fire balls released by the young man halting their progress and done with enough power to blow back the young woman's half mask and hood. Revealing her face and rather vibrant green eyes as well as tufts of white hair around her face. "Hmm, that's better. Nice to see you again~" she said seemingly amused by this entire situation. But this wasn't all she had to offer, her blade seemed to be teeming with electrical energy and it was soon shining causing the young woman to jump and then begin trying to bash the young man with a lightning covered Keyblade. If the heat of the flames of Sion were felt, then the static charge which would remain after the woman's most recent choice in defense would also be felt. It was quite an interesting clash, though she herself was no magician in any real sense of the word.

Having joined the others on higher ground, Lily was stunned into silence by the thing she was witnessing below her. And she was immediately both hot and felt the tiniest prickle of electricity against her skin. It was quite odd, that these two were so obviously powerful, but not actually trying to harm each other. She could only imagine what would happen if either of them put forth any real effort. And in this moment, though she realized she stood above a great number of her peers, she still couldn't hold a candle to either of the two individuals below. Such a realization would be obvious on her face as her mouth opened and closed, she was literally speechless.

[Bloodedge]

"I'm sure they will." The fireballs unleashed by Luxu did not last long. While they would have gone on to cause heavy damage across a wide range, Gula went about eliminating them one by one using her own Thunder element spell. During this time, the young woman's mask and hood were blown away. Following a whistle, Luxu spoke. "Likewise. Easily ten times better without the mask," he commented. Even though the offshoots of his attack were quickly dealt with, Luxu still had the original fireball. After pulling his Keyblade back, he swung it forward to unleash said fireball in a projectile toward Gula. "Flare!" he called out. On impact with Gula, or with anything for that matter, this fireball would trigger a wide-scale explosion to deal great concussive and burning damage.

On the rooftop, Kou fanned himself with his left hand, while Johan pulled on his collar and gazed upon his free hand to witness the hairs on it stand straight. Even this warm-up for the Masters was something that went far beyond their comprehension. "These are Masters... they're more ridiculous than I could have thought."

[Apollymi]

"Oh, stop it you~" the girl mentioned a minor blush coming to her face. It wasn't anything she could do about such a thing, she rarely felt the slightest bit flustered about anything, but such commentary was the sort of thing that got to her, specifically from this young man in her present company. Still there was the matter of the original fireball he was still holding on to, and though her blade was still charged with electricity, there was very little she could think of to do aside from confront the large ball of fire with three of thunder. "Plasma~" she called as her own attack blasted from the tip of her Keyblade, to collide with the ball of fire causing massive and widespread damage right between the pair of them. Heat, electricity and concussive damage would radiate outwards as two completely ridiculous spells crashed into each other. When they did she took the opportunity to glide around doing her best to avoid any unnecessary damage while she did. But when the dust settled the girl would be covered in soot and coughing just a tad wiping dust from her face a couple of meters away from Luxu himself. "Those two spells... really don't like each other very much." she mentioned in a seemingly joking manner. If this continued on in such a way she could see this entire section of the world being completely and utterly marred by their behavior. Still, it was more than a little bit of fun. Beyond this point there was the matter that Gula had used several spells she generally avoided because though she was skilled enough to use them, she had far fewer magical reserves than she had physical energy. At heart she was still more focused on the speed of her body than she was the strength of her magic, so in this sort of combat, Luxu would in her mind, emerge victorious. Not that she had any problem with this...

Lily seemed to finally find her voice again, though her throat was admittedly dry and she felt as if she had goose bumps from the previous bouts of electrical energy. If nothing else, the explosion between the pair of spells used seemed to be something that mystified the girl. "They are way outta my league too. I'm stunned they are even allowed to do stuff." she said as if she was completely taken aback. After all it wasn't often that one got to witness a clashing such as this one, without being maimed by the experience, and though the concussive blow, heat and static had spread about the area, shaking the very ground and building they were atop, the trio would likely be no worse for wear.

[Bloodedge]

"Why would I stop when it's working?" he said with a cheeky grin as two spells collided and created a blast the likes of which repelled Luxu. He came to a skidding stop after moving a few meters back, still holding his left arm over his face. "Ugh! I think it got in my mouth!" he said. With his left sleeve, Luxu took a moment to wipe off his face, thinking it to be an appropriate time for at least a brief pause. "Yeah... let's not do that again when we're that close. Good work on that Magic, though. I might need to train more to keep up."

[Apollymi]

"Well..." she thought about it more, and surprisingly enough, Gula didn't have an answer to why he should stop something that was obviously working. Even so, it appeared that they were both repelled by the blast they'd created and while she was busy wiping soot and the like from her own face, her opponent was doing the same. His mentioned that he'd managed to get some in his mouth make her laugh a little, but she didn't tease him about this. Instead, she choose to address what was said after, returning to her usual calm and collected demeanor. "Thank you very much. I see that you are indeed still quite the pyromaniac~" she said with a single note of teasing about the nature of his spell usage. Moving right along, she chose to address the latter half of his statement next. "What are you talking about you might need to train more? You're the magic specialist, I mean practice if you want... but no need to be so modest. Especially on my account." she said with a bit of a smile. "I am the one who needs more training, that spell is the pinnacle of my magical abilities. In fact, the last time I tried it... I passed out. So, I'm actually surprised it worked at all~" she said. In true scholarly fashion, she tended to create things and use them only to figure out how they worked. And once she understood them, she moved on to more practical things. The Plasma spell she used as a variation of her 'Thunder' based skills was one such impractically created spell. While they were having her break time she finally stopped rubbing her face, hoping it to be clean enough given the massive blast the pair had created.

[Bloodedge]

"Exactly," he replied to the young woman's incomplete statement. Once he had successfully cleaned himself up a bit, Luxu spun his Keyblade around and took a few steps toward the other Master. "It's not all fire. I just thought it'd be a bit rude to freeze you in time or magnetize you in the middle of all that," he said regarding his apparent pyromania. As for the alleged modesty he was showing in this moment, he chuckled. "I'm not being as modest as you think. I mean, I've got some Magic going for me, but you've got a good bit of everything going. Have some faith in your own strength."

[Apollymi]

The girl likely would have found some displeasure in this moment, if she'd not enjoyed this particular young man's company so much. Moving right along, it appeared that the young man's skills didn't just include fire, he just thought it to be the least offensive of his skills to use in a friendly competition, she understood this more than most. "I know the feeling... I got this new gravity spell that is pretty cool... but definitely not all that friendly~" she mentioned seeming amused. He then went on to say that she should have more faith in her abilities, as he might have had magic going for him, but she had a bit of everything else. She supposed that was quite true, even so... given their spar of choice, it didn't seem like the extra physical nature of her combat style would be that useful outside of very specific situations. "Hmm, I suppose that all makes sense." she concluded offering the young man a smile. "We could always trade, I'll get you whipped into physical shape and you can show me some new spells~" the fairness of such a trade would be undeniably beneficial, not that she needed such a thing, at this point it was more or less an excuse to have some other reason to see Luxu while attending to her duties as a Union Leader.

[Bloodedge]

"Sounds like fun. If either of us ever goes Heartless hunting again, we should both go so I can check that out," he suggested. It seemed Gula was not the only one here simply looking for an excuse in this situation. Sion, too, would have rather avoided fulfilling his role in seclusion; especially if he had the choice to remain at the side of his most favored peer. "That sounds like fun. Actually, if you don't mind, I could stand to have a bit of help getting new spells to work. I figure you might have a good bit of research, if I could have a look at your books."

[Apollymi]

"Of course, that'd be really fun." she said about the showing off of her other new abilities, which were less than friendly for non-mortal combat. It seemed though in this moment she wasn't the only one looking for an excuse to spend a little extra time together at some point in the future. The question of using her research to help him complete his spells made her smile and wave him off just a bit. "Of course, you can use my research if you want. You don't even have to ask... I'll be more than happy to help." she said, finding no greater happiness than helping out the favorite of her peers.

[Bloodedge]

"Alright then. It's a date," Luxu said as he held up his Keyblade and let it dematerialize. He considered the amount they had done here to be enough for their little spar, lest they end up causing more destruction than either of them would probably like. More importantly, he had succeeded in finding the excuse he sought, though he truly did require a bit of research information to accomplish a few new things. "I'll come by later tonight, if that's alright with you. I figured that would be plenty of time for you to do... well, whatever it is you were doing."

[Apollymi]

"Alright then~" the young woman agreed without much fuss. It was quite a pleasant thought, that she wouldn't have to entertain herself all the time while she was committing herself to her Union duties. It appeared that this young man was also content to stop their little spar, which was also fine with her considering how much destruction they'd managed to cause in such a short amount of time. Given that she seemed to be perfectly fine letting her own new Keyblade disappear from her hand as well. Moving right along, it seemed that this supposed date idea, at least for the research would be used as an excuse for the day. Given this... it seemed that she'd have plans with him later, as she could do nothing more than agree. "Of course, it's alright with me. I was only going to show them something else... and then leave them to their own devices and learning, and do a bit more reading of course, you can... come by when you're ready." mentioned the young woman as she more than alright with this arrangement.

[Bloodedge]

"Will do. If my experiment works, I'll even show you the trick to it. See you later," the young man said as he raised his hood again. In the next moment, he vanished into thin air, leaving Gula and the others to their devices. However, this was when another male made his presence known. The larger of the Master of Masters' apprentices, who now answered to the name Aced, had been standing on a rooftop adjacent to the Leopardos Union members long enough to catch the last half of the fight. He had to say, he was entertained. "You could have told me if you wanted a challenge, y'know," he said to the female Master below. "I could have given you a way better time."

[Apollymi]

"Alright then, see you later." she said to Luxu who was now on his way out with the promise of showing her the trick to his new technique if he managed to perfect it. Moving right along, the young woman moved again, picking up her mask to return it to her face, and while she was doing this, she was greeted by another male and familiar voice. It was one of her peers, though not one she had any great occasion to speak to. "Oh... Akira..." she said giving herself a bit of pause. "I suppose you have a different name now too..." she said. This man wasn't on the list of people she spoke with regularly, but there was no reason to be anything other than cordial. "Well it wasn't like I planned that little match. Besides... it was a different sort of fun." she said hopping up to the same level as the large blue haired man. "So... what brings you here?" she asked, wondering if this male had already found the first few members of his union or if he planned to get one from here.

[Bloodedge]

"Aced," the blue-haired man replied to inform the other Master of his current name. Since Gula joined him on the roof, he didn't need to move to her location. This was in his favor, as he didn't much care to do so, though he would share a few words with the young woman. "Yeah, that's my point. Different fun. Exercise with a little more recreation and all," he commented, seeming to be content with moving right along into his next statement. "I'm looking to build the Ursus Union. I wanted to try and pull Lilynette over there, but it looks like you got to her first. Shame. She was a fast grower."

[Apollymi]

"Aced?" she thought a bit more. "Yep, confirmed, the Master went a bit off the wall with the naming, Gula is what she chose to call me for whatever reason." she said slipping her own adjusted name into the conversation in case, this was ever needed to be referenced. It seemed the blue haired man would only cause the woman to chuckle. "Well... I don't really have much to say to that. I'd rather flex my mind in most cases." she said, as a matter of fact. She'd entertained Luxu in this way, because she liked him more than everyone else. Moving right along it seemed that Gula had succeeded in procuring someone apparently wanted by another of her peers. "Oh? Lily, huh? She's quite good from what I've seen of her, I didn't come looking for her, but I ended up both with her and her orange haired companion Kou... as well." she said, quite proud of her recent acquisitions, but easily returning to the calm and level headed demeanor she maintained with the majority of the population. "I'm quite pleased about that, Luxu was trying to take her as an apprentice as well." she said, of the girl who showed a more than considerable amount of promise. "I wish you luck in finding your Union members Aced~"
