Daybreak Town

[Bloodedge]

"Nope. I'm just fishing," replied the cloaked male. It was apparently worth noting how attached to her reading the Master called Gula was; something Luxu knew, though possibly not quite as well as the other Masters. There was also the matter of Luxu's apparent autobiography being something the young woman would read, though it was surely something he would never actually think of doing. "It's a title I don't think you should wait for the release of. I'm seventeen; I haven't even lived a life yet."

[Apollymi]

"Figures." Gula said. Of course, this young man would know that she liked her reading, though since he was actually capable of getting her to stop reading and having a conversation he wouldn't know how much she really didn't normally speak to others. Of course, the amount of focus she put into such things, was probably the root of her one developed skill, that that this needed explaining. The mention that the young man sitting beside her was quite young to be thinking of his autobiography made the young woman laugh a bit, she couldn't help but tease just a little bit in response. "Aww, don't say that... I was a bit excited. And I'm only 18... it's not like I don't have plenty of time to wait on it~" she jested with the young man thinking it amusing. Perhaps she should have made more varied efforts to speak to people. Or at the very least, she should have done so even more frequently with this particular young man. She couldn't help but think she would have enjoyed her training even more if she'd put forth more of an effort to have a bit of fun outside of her reading. Of course, she now had plenty of time to do this, even with the duties she had, so...

[Bloodedge]

Once again, Sion resorted to a casual crossing of his arms as he sat upon the ledge next to the other Master. Though he took no issue whatsoever with a decent read, he did not share Gula's level of attachment, and he had no real interest whatsoever in writing such a thing. "Still, I wouldn't have any expectations. Besides... you have the Book of Prophecies to keep you occupied. I wasn't given such a thing."

[Apollymi]

At the mention that the young man really wasn't interested in his autobiography the girl pouted. She supposed she'd have to learn analog more about him. Of course, she was fine with this so the pout itself was nothing more than playful at this point. There was one such casual context clue dropped to the young woman which made her eyes sparkle with interest. "You didn't get one? Hmm, so no Union, no book, no animal affiliation. Given the abilities of your Keyblade, the Master probably didn't want you breaking time with foreknowledge." she said seeming to understand the theory by which their less than stable Master had come to not give this young man a book. Besides that fact, each of the people were presumably given a specific set of tasks, probably as a way to try and keep the balance and vet each other. "Well, I do have that, but like I said... you're more interesting than the books. Even ones about the future." she said, and when speaking the word future she made her fingers wiggle in front of her as if it was mysterious. She figured given the fact that this young man didn't have a book this would be the one thing she couldn't discuss with him. The Master to be fair had done her part to make sure this girl because the impartial judge of her friends as far as finding the potential 'traitor'. Still, she couldn't see that person being the young man at her side.

[Bloodedge]

"I think it may have gone a bit deeper than that," he said about the reason he hadn't been given a copy of the Book of Prophecies, or a Union to oversee. "A Union would be nice, and a book to see the future is cool, but the Master gave me my own way of seeing the future. It's a more... direct approach, I guess? I'm probably not supposed to mention that, but the Master never specified in any of the interactions I had with her today. Besides, if I try for secrecy, I'm sure you'll eventually find out anyway."

[Apollymi]

"Oh?" Gula mentioned. It seemed that the man now known as Luxu wasn't left out at all, and seemed to have received something different from their Master. "Ah... well, as long as you weren't left out completely that is fine." she said about the special things he'd received. Of course as this thought continued it seemed that he thought maybe he wasn't supposed to mention in any directness what he'd gotten. "Eh? Well, the Master usually lets things like that out in the open. She's quite odd I think..." she said with a smile. As for what she would have found out she could only shrug. "Curious nature is curious." she mentioned of her own personality. "I probably would have looked into something secret... unless you were going to tell me yourself anyways~" she said with a small smirk.

[Bloodedge]

"It's still a bit weird. I can't be grouped in with the rest of you guys. Not that I really wanted to, but... I might get bored if left without a choice." As the cloaked Master spoke, he held out both hands and summoned his pair of Keyblades. His left hand formed an ethereal blue glow to call on his original Keyblade with its clock theme, and his right hand opened with a surprisingly dark aura emitting to produce the strange Keyblade given to him recently by the Master of Masters. "You don't think I'd keep secrets from you, do you? One with the power to see forward in time, and one with the power to go backwards in time."

[Apollymi]

"Well, you are her favorite." she said of the boy known now as Luxu. "It would make sense if she couldn't group you with the rest of us. Besides that... you stand out quite a bit..." she noted thoughtfully. If he needed any more evidence of this there was the simple matter that she and the rest of their peers had all noticed his superior efforts, even among a group such as them. And in thought they were all well above the standard grade for Keyblade Wielders. Moving right along there was a showing of his two Keyblades simultaneously along with an explanation for what each of them do. It was a bit stunning in theory, and this seemed to fill the lass Gula with a fair bit of excitement. "Oh? Well, I didn't think you would so, unless perhaps you were instructed to do so. You have always been straightforward with me~" she mentioned seemingly amused. "That new Keyblade of yours is quite interesting. I got a new one as well but to be fair, I haven't even bothered trying it out yet." she said opening her hand in front of her... doing so caused her new Keyblade to appear in her hand, it was a leopard themed lightning blade by the best of her approximation. "I noticed mine has this strange eye on the charm... it looks a bit like the one in the top of your new one... and the one at the bottom of yours. " she said with a small smile. "Yep, you're definitely the favorite." As one of the more scholarly of their group, she was good at making observations.

[Bloodedge]

"I probably wouldn't even if I had instructions to." When this new Keyblade of his was addressed, Luxu spun it around in his right hand. Apparently, the fact that his Keyblade had two Gazing Eyes featured on it was enough evidence to assign him the favored position of the Master of Masters. "I wouldn't say that. It's not like these are just symbols, either way. Between the two of us, this one is the Master's eye," he said. With that, Luxu flipped off the ledge he sat upon, landing on the ground only a meter away while facing Gula. "So, if you haven't tried it out, why not do so now? Unless you were looking to find more members for your Union first."

[Apollymi]

"Oh, well that's good to know." she said aloud with a bit of a chuckle. This chuckle soon shifted into a bit of a wide eyed gaze beneath her mask. "What? The Master's eye?!" she questioned seeming to allow those pieces to fall into place within her mind. "Oh... that is how she sees the future. I suppose that makes sense but... that is a bit hardcore for a scholarly endeavor." she said of their Master. The woman was obviously a bit unhinged, but to go so far as to remove her own eye to do a thing, made her wonder about the Master's motives.

Moving right along Luxu seemed to jump off of the ledge they'd been sitting on and offered to be her training partner for her newly acquired Keyblade, unless she wanted to look for more members of her Union. About the three she'd managed to pick up so far, she was lacking in nothing. "I guess, I could go for a bit of a stretch, and I am fine with my current set of Union members, the ones who come next, will come because of them..." she mentioned. "So, should we show them how it's done then?" she said as she also dropped from the ledge Keyblade still in hand. Surprisingly enough her first move, was to make a bit more distance happen between herself and Luxu, which would be followed up immediately by the leopard masked young woman tossing her Keyblade towards the man aiming to strike him with the Keyblade before making it come back towards her.

[Bloodedge]

"Fair enough," he said regarding Gula's acceptance of her Union's current state. "Let's give them a goal to work for." And with that, their little scrimmage began, with Gula initiating. Her choice for the first attack was a simple, yet versatile skill known among its users as Strike Raid. As it approached, Luxu banished his original Keyblade and swung his newer one, the Master Seeker, toward the incoming weapon to deflect it. While Gula's Keyblade was making its way back to her, he decided to send something else along with it, choosing to throw his own Keyblade in the same manner she had done previously. Luxu's chosen version of the attack, however, engulfed his Keyblade in flames when it was performed, making it threaten to ignite the other Master on impact.

Not far from the ongoing battle, the boy known as Johan had been conversing with the two individuals he would now call his teammates. Through his periphery, he caught sight of the heavier-than-normal amount of movement occurring nearby. This brought his attention to the two Masters once again. "Two Masters are fighting," he said with his eyes wide and his mouth agape. "This is gonna be awesome! Or... dangerous..."

[Apollymi]

"Or scare them half to death... either is possible at this point." Gula mentioned as her own Keyblade was returning to her after being blocked by Luxu, it seemed that he was content to send at least one of his towards her. In so doing, he coated the whole thing in flames threatening to engulf her person in flames. Whether from knowledge of Luxu himself or having a general understanding of the use of thrown Keyblades, the young woman reached out for her own, gliding out of the way of the coming Keyblade with an amount of speed which would probably seem startling to those unfamiliar with her abilities. After doing so she tucked into a roll going straight forward Keyblade in hand threatening to strike the young man's fore with both her Keyblade and body coated in lightning, directly to his fore, while continuing her roll if she should hit or be dodged.

The girl of their new group, known as Lily also turned to begin watching the apparent show being put on by the pair of Masters in front of them. Even if it was to be exceedingly dangerous, she definitely wanted to watch, imagine what new tricks she could pick up if she could keep her eyes on both of the individuals here. "It's probably going to be both. That's cool though~ We'll learn so much!~" she mentioned seeming content to switch their getting to know each other conversation to one about the battle now taking place.

[Bloodedge]

"I think it'll have the same end result regardless," he said. Instead of guarding against his thrown Keyblade, she chose to avoid the strike and charge toward him in a roll with lightning surrounding herself and her Keyblade. Given the Leopardos Master's speed advantage, Luxu had no time to wait for his Keyblade to return to him. So, instead of waiting, he re-summoned it directly to his hand. Once it was returned to him, he performed a cartwheel to his left, shrouding himself in flames that were left in his wake. If Gula were to continue as planned beyond the point that impact would have initially taken place with the male, she would find herself passing through the flames he left behind. "You know, that mask almost makes me think I'm fighting someone different."

"You're right. I guess we'll just be chatting later. This is too good already," said Johan in the face of the Masters' battle. Kou, the younger male of the group, seemed to have a slightly different opinion on this matter. "Uhh... should we maybe move away from them a bit?"

[Apollymi]

"I suppose that is true. Scary things usually spur people into action~" she said as she rolled. Of course she fully expected the young man to move out of her way, and with his pyromaniac tendencies she also expected fire to be part of the movement and she was not at all disappointed. Her ability to focus in battle allowed her to slow her own perception of time in an instant, allowing her to change her form from a rolling ball of thunder into a standing glide to the same direction Luxu had gone. Such a movement would be flawless, and likely imperceptible to their watchers, it would seem like an instantaneous directional shift. Once it was completed the young woman found herself facing the young man. "Makes you think you're fighting someone different. Sounds like a trick of the mind because we haven't seen each other's faces in ages. I thought something similar... not seeing your face~" she mentioned as her Keyblade was immediately sent into orbit around her person thus aiming to batter the young man multiple times while she kept herself in range of him. "Also... I definitely waited a second too long. These robes are a bit warm now~"

Meanwhile the young woman with the two males heard what both of them had to say. To the male known as Johan she could only nod and reply. "Yep. Definitely that.... I think I might have blinked, wasn't she headed straight for the flames?" she said. The other male seemed to think they required a bit of distance as such the girl tilted her head back just a bit. "If you're worried about it Kou, we can move up to the roof there..." she said with a slight twitch of her head towards a small ledge which was up and away enough to practically clear an arena for the combat they were watching while leaving the trio out of harm's way... relatively speaking.

[Bloodedge]

"I... I don't know. I thought maybe I had blinked too," Johan added to the query posed by Lilynette. It was highly unlikely that both parties had blinked, and such a thought was beginning to make Johan side with the boy named Kou on moving. Taking Lilynette's suggested path into account, he leaped toward the rooftop, with Kou following shortly behind. "I'm all for it; it's kinda scary down here."

"We could always ditch the get-ups and do things normally," Luxu stated. It seemed Gula had successfully utilized her high maneuverability to escape the flame trap he had set for her, even while having her clothes allegedly warmed by the fire. The next Raid skill used by Gula first met a duck performed by Luxu, followed by a barrier formed to keep the latter strikes at bay as he worked toward his next move. "We've got a bit of a cliche going. Let's step it up though," he said. As his barrier disappeared, he held his Keyblade overhead and formed a large ball of fire at its tip. The heat from this spell was great enough to be felt at the location of the others, even if they all moved, and in the moment of this spell's initiation, Luxu's hood flew back. He stared directly into the eye of his friend and opponent, his amber gaze joined by a surprisingly casual grin as he spoke. "Fire!" Of the six Masters in this world, Luxu's proverbial crown could be considered one of flames. His spell grew a great deal larger than the norm, and began launching additional balls of fire from its core in all directions.
