Daybreak Town

[Bloodedge]

As Kousagi moved higher into the air, Sion grinned again while pointing his No Name Keyblade upward. It charged itself with an even greater amount of electricity than it previously held, finalizing the illusion to a Style Change known as Thunderbolt. What he had initiated was the ultimate attack of this style, but before its charge completed, he leaped into the air and left the Keyblade where it was. His jump took him to Kousagi's height as his floating Keyblade below shot an orb of electricity upward. From mid-air, Sion performed a second hop to lead him even higher, all while the lightning orb continued to rise, which it would do until it was between the locations of Sion and Kousagi. The orb would rain down lightning strikes from above the lass, boasting great damage potential, but this was not all. From even higher above, Sion swung down his Keygreave to summon a mass barrage of burning meteors upon the area in which they now fought. This would double the already impressive number of things Kousagi had to dodge or defend against. To keep himself elevated, Sion then changed his Master Seeker's form once more. It became a form retaining its usual rainguard as its core in his right hand, with two small wings on its bottom half, another with the Gazing eye on its top right, and a large wing on its top left. This allowed Sion sustained flight overhead, where he would wait and see how Kousagi dealt with his attacks.

[Apollymi]

And what a comeback Sion would soon be making. Sion soon abandoned one of his Keyblades and flew past, Kousagi. As this was done, she was soon left facing a large orb of lightning which was flying up to fill the space between herself and Sion. "Oh, this has Tempie written all over it," she said sounding a bit exasperated. Even so, it was kind of interesting to see, mostly because it was usually her taking in everyone else's styles. Moving right along, this orb was raining down lighting strikes which she began to move to avoid. But this wasn't all that was coming her way. Beyond this Meteors began to rain down upon her along with the lightning. This move was so classically Sion, she could have almost laughed. But there was no way for her to do so while having to deal with so much. "I guess I have no choice," the girl mentioned. Instead of continuing with Fever Pitch and trying to avoid all that was falling. She flew directly upwards, aiming to go into the orbs and whatever falling meteors were around her. Her body seemed to be shrouded in light as she did this, and as soon as she physically made contact with something, she'd draw back both of her Keyblades. This would create a javelin of light out of each of these which would allow her to poke through the first line of defense before she turned around and launched the pair and all of the light down into the barrage. "Judge of Destiny~" the call of this attack would send light breaking into every attack and lightning orb threatening to encompass all while neutralizing the elemental affinity of all and disintegrating the attack. All of this would actually exhaust the young girl causing her mask to fall back from her face at the impact. Still she'd turn back to Sion, with those big red eyes of her hers filled with wonder. A mop of pink hair with bun like ear attachments visible for the first time in ages. "Oh, that's no fair, it was way too much." she pouted slightly.

[Bloodedge]

"Does it?" he asked. "I guess I do feel a bit... lightning-y. Maybe it has something to do with her being there when I got this power," he concluded. Kousagi went on to dodge around his lightning strikes and meteors, but this strategy was not held for long. She chose instead to strike out at the barrage with her Limit skill, which Sion looked toward with a raised brow. 'Is that coming for me?' he wondered. Just in case she would be attacking him during this retaliation, he held his Master Seeker out toward her, converting it into a form reminiscent of a shield. In this state, the weapon created an impenetrable barrier to guard against the explosions caused by Kousagi's Limit Break. Due to the given angle, Sion and his barrier were pushed higher into the air by the blasts. In the meantime, he chuckled at the statement made by the girl below. "Too much? I thought we were just about to get more serious."

[Apollymi]

"Yes, yes it does." The small girl mentioned with a nod about the abilities the other boy's Master Form seemed to take. Beyond this point, it seemed that he was perfectly capable of defending himself even against her Limit Break, not that she'd been aiming to take him out with it in the first place. Having successfully ended this particular attack she sighed in relief at the moment only to have the boy's words of getting serious reach her ears. "No way!! That'd be too much. Plus we aren't suppose ta' do stuff like that," She made these statements complete with overly dramatic movements of her arms mimicking how the Master would have responded to such a thing, and causing herself to giggle at her own joke. "Hmm, doing all that always makes me really hungry..." she pouted and made a statement about the use of her Limit Break. The youngest of the Master's apprentices apparently had a very healthy appetite and though she had boundless energy it seemed she needed and even more plentiful supply of food to fuel it.

[Bloodedge]

With a deep exhale, Sion reverted to his normal form, banishing both Keyblades as he descended toward the ground next to Kousagi. When he landed, he turned toward the girl and raised his hand as if intending to offer her a high-five. "We'll find a better spot for letting loose next time. I know you've got more than that in you somewhere. You should really work on how much energy you waste on that Limit, though," he said. As one would expect from knowing the pink-haired lass, she was suddenly in a bit of an eating mood. This brought a rather wide grin to the male Master's face. "I've got an idea then. Let's celebrate strong friendship. We'll go to the shop, and we'll try every ice-cream flavor they've got! My treat."

[Apollymi]

"Oh? That sounds like fun!~" The young girl seemed really amused by the idea of really cutting loose one day. And as such, she'd try and think up something new to show him the next time they encountered each other. For now, she lowered herself towards the ground casting away her new form, and while she did this, Sion seemed to do the same. As such they were soon side by side and without Keyblades or altered forms, and as Sion's hand extended toward her for a high five, she matched it seemingly amused. To the last bit of his first statement she had very little to say. "Bleh!~ I can't make it consume less energy. I've tried but it lacks any real power when I do, though..." she said thinking about it more. "This time was probably a bit worse, because I funneled the abilities of both of my Keyblades into it... a bit unnecessary but I was wondering how they'd do together." she said seeming to have thought about it quite a bit more than her initial use of the technique might have let on. Beyond this though, she was offered a friendship celebration, which included trying every kind of ice cream the shop had to offer. This made the girl's eyes widen immensely as she considered the ability to eat so much ice cream. "Really?!" she asked excitedly. She would do nothing but agree to this because she already admitted to being hungry. "I mean, if ya' really mean it~" she squealed the statement with childlike delight.

[Bloodedge]

"Sure you can! Maybe you just need to focus it more. Compression of power goes a long way," he said. Whatever the case, he didn't picture Kousagi as the type of individual who would use their Limit Break haphazardly, so he supposed it didn't matter much if it took a lot out of her. Still, if it were to fail in combat while being so costly for her, things could end badly. "We'll figure something out. Actually, I might be able to do something about that." While still speaking, Sion began his stroll toward the marketplace where the ice-cream shop he had in mind was located. With this particular individual, he was content to actually consume a serving of each special flavor they offered. "This'll be fun!"

[Apollymi]

Kousagi exhaled thinking about the nature of compression for her Limit Break. She could probably do that, but it wasn't as if she was using her Limit Break all the time anyways. It was usually only even enacted to end things. Thinking about it more, she supposed if she could compress it a bit more, she could get more use out of it and make it a bit more surprising. "Aww, well... I mean... if you think about it and I think about it, I'm sure we'll come up with something," she said as she began trailing alongside the older male. Even with the thoughts of her Limit Break in the forefront of her mind, she still wasn't really thinking about it. No she had dozens of flavors of ice cream on her mind. "Of course it will be! Even I haven't tried them all~" the small girl said. This was going to be a very interesting day for her, and one she would be sure to remember for a long time to come.

[Bloodedge]

"Neither have I. They have over a dozen special flavors, I think," he said as they wandered back into the marketplace. Once at the ice-cream shop, Sion stepped out ahead to make known the specifics of this endeavor to the Moogle hologram before them. "Hey. We want ice-cream. Like... all of it. Can you send us each of your special flavors in sets of two to that table over there?" he asked, pointing toward a nearby table for two. "I can, kupo. Have a seat. I'll start sending it right away, kupo!" the Moogle replied. With a grin and a nod, Sion acknowledged the creature's suggestion before turning and walking toward the designated table. "Thanks!" Surely enough, while Sion moved away from the hologram, there was already a machine creating two servings of the first specialty dessert on the menu. It was likely that by the time they reached the table, the machine would be sliding down two dishes of a treat known as the Bueno Volcano. It was a strange concoction, like an ice-cream volcano made with vegetables and some sort of curry addition, but it was apparently quite popular with many.

[Apollymi]

"Over a dozen!?~" the young girl seemed even more excited as they finally entered the shop. Once inside she went to have a seat at the table mentioned by the young man. And once there she happily kicked her feet excitedly waiting to try the first of what had to be at least a dozen ice creams. Seeing the hologram of the Moogle made the small girl smile and wonder what her Moogle Companion Union Member had gotten up to. Soon enough there was a strange looking ice cream sitting right in front of her. It looked a bit like a volcano and didn't really smell like the dessert she expected. But she supposed there were worse things. "Oh... this looks a bit strange." She mentioned suspiciously. "You take the first bite."

[Bloodedge]

Sitting down let Sion have a view of the ice-cream being placed on the table. It was certainly a strange-looking dish, but somewhat appealing in its own right. Kousagi and all her nerve told the young man to take the first bite, which was an effort that caused him to feign shock and disdain. "So I get sacrificed!? Fine..." With that said, he took hold of the long-handled spoon brought with the ice-cream, and scooped up the first bite. When he ate it, there was a brief pause before any sort of reaction. A very surprised expression crossed his visage after a short time. "It's... spicy. This definitely has toonbasco in it. But... pretty good. Really good."

[Apollymi]

"Yes," this was the girl's answer to the idea of sacrificing Sion to the first taste of the strange looking ice cream. After a few seconds his visage seemed to change and he apparently liked it. Since she'd seen someone else take a bite of the confection without exploding she soon did the same. She brought a spoonful to her mouth and closed her mouth around it. After a few quiet seconds of contemplation her eyes lit up. "Oh, it is! I didn't think spicy was the right word for ice cream. But... it's awesome!~" The girl mentioned happily. Continuing to eat this dessert which seemed to build in heat the more she tasted it. This was a fun experience for her, but soon enough she'd be finished with this one. After all, she was quite famished.

[Bloodedge]

"I think I'd normally take more of an issue with the veggies in this than the spice, but the mix of the two doesn't make me question either of them." Soon enough, the first dish was finished off by both consumers. The ever watchful Moogle shopkeep had its eyes set on the pair, and thus had already prepared the second dish to be sent their way. The bowls which carried the Bueno Volcano were taken, and two arm-like extensions from the machine offered up a new ice-cream in handheld form. This one had the shape of a white-and-brown bear with crosses for eyes and swirls on its ears. Since he had been offered as tribute for the first dessert, Sion decided to return the favor here while grabbing his serving by the popsicle stick. "You first."

[Apollymi]

After they had finished their first round of ice cream, another was readily available to them. On a stick, there was a small bear like creature made of ice cream. While she looked at it few seconds after taking it into her hand, it was stated by Sion that she had to have first. "Aww, well... it's only fair I guess." She supposed this was an even exchange, given she'd made him try the previous one first. As such, the young woman brought the confection towards her face, taking a bit from the bear's right ear. She gave a few moments of contemplation over the flavor before she decided. "It's nice, tastes a bit like dinner~" she squealed just a little as she continued about her meal.

[Bloodedge]

"Dinner?" the brunette questioned. This was a rather strange comparison to make with one's ice-cream, but Sion supposed the previous treat was strange in an entirely different manner. Either way, he had already resolved himself to try it, and he certainly did so soon after speaking. His teeth sank directly into the crown of the bear's head, which was a move that resulted in a portion of its left ear melting onto his cheek. As he wiped this off, he took the time to basque in the flavor of the day's second confection from this shop. He found it tasteful enough, and yet somehow still wanting. "I think it's a bit... bland."
