Only Way is Up. [open, bendytimed before Tapestry]

( OOC: As well as a couple days after this log. )

After the failed attempt with Xtreme, at least in her eyes, Hoshi wondered what could be wrong with her unable to sustain the henshin for as long as she could with the other forms. Although, on one of the days where she busied herself around Stacy, she came upon the answer. Of course it had to be that! Her endurance and stamina waned because she went without a good beyblade match in months.

Sure, she trained during the mornings as well as a little bit at night, but without some good old fashioned beyblading, which was high intensity and fast paced all on its' own, she wouldn't be in her tip top shape that she normally would be.

And so, that's what led her to the Sensoriums once more. It wouldn't have the same effect as it would back home, but she would try her best to replicate it.

The walls dissipated for an arena, just like the one she found here on Stacy, but instead of just one opponent, she was up against three beybladers. Then, with a swift movement, she grabbed both her beyblade out of its' pouch and her launcher, setting the two of them up. She stood with her beyblade with the tip pointed up to the ceiling, her legs spread out. After a three second countdown, all of the beybladers released their respective beyblades into the dish, ready to give it their all.

"You can do it, Seraphiel! Show them what for!" she called out, ready to get her game backto where it was normally.

Care to watch or ask what she's doing?

"What I'm essentially doing is training to keep my endurance and stamina up to where it needs to be," Hoshi explained while Seraphiel began to, indeed, pick up speed. The air around the dish became stronger as the aerodynamic system inside of it helped it speed up.

"And, so, instead of doing a one-on-one battle, I decided to try to do it with three-on-one to give myself a bit of a challenge."

"Is this -- exactly what it appears to be?" Mar asked. "I mean, your disc is beating the crap out of other discs?"

"Pretty much, but only with the beyblades having specific qualities to them that makes them unique and toughen them up a bit," stated Hoshi as Seraphiel managed to knock one of the beyblades out of the dish.

Now, all that remained were the two other beyblades. She could focus on those no problem.

"That sounds pretty interesting, actually." Good clean noncomplicated fun where no one died and only discs suffered. What a nice change of events!

"I'm guessing none of them is gonna start spitting fire or something, though."

"It is!" Hoshi agreed, glad that someone else on Stacy found her sport just as interesting as she did.

"Well, they can if you want them to. Mine spouts out light and feathers."

"Sounds holy-aligned." Mar not only knew better than to doubt the efficacy of a light-and-feathers attack, he sincerely believed it would prove quite powerful.

"That's what Seraphiel is, an archangel holy beast," Hoshi commented in a matter-of-fact way while she returned her focus to the match at hand. The remaining two beyblades circled around Seraphiel, wanting to defeat him.

"Seraphiel! Speed up faster!" she called, having her hand out in front of her as the beyblade rose in the air, then came crashing down to deliver serious damage to one of the beyblades in the dish. At this, she had a smirk on her face at how it was executed.

Mar let out a cheer as the disc delivered punishment. "Ha! Nice hit!"

Aside to Hoshi, he said, "This reminds me of some of the games we had on Azeroth, actually."

"Thanks!"

Soon, the battle was over with Seraphiel winning as Hoshi turned her attention to Maridian. "What kind of games were those?"

"Oh, we had things like Steam Tonks. You drove them around by remote control," he said, gesturing with his hands a little too vigorously in describing the motions, "and they fired rockets and dropped minds. And Crashin' Thrashin' Robots, they fired missiles at each other. Engineers liked to make gadgets people could battle with..."

Well, apparently that was the right thing to say to her. Her eyes were as wide as saucers, interest nipping at her heels.

"I'd definitely like to try that one day!"

He reached out a hand, and a remote control slapped down into his armored palm as a steam tonk (http://www.wowhead.com/item=22728/steam-tonk-controller#screenshots:id=13354) appeared in front of him. "I think that can be arranged!"

"Dude, now that's definitely cool!" Okay, so she may have been more of a vehicle fan than she thought she was.

"Oh! I'm Hikari Hoshi, last name, first. Nice to meet you!"

"Maridian Gladespring," he said with a grand bow. "Sin'dorei, Blood Knight, Crusader, Kingslayer, and so on and so forth. A pleasure to meet you!"

He offered her a controller as well as another steam tonk popped out for her to use. Handy things, these sensoriums.

"You've got quite a resume," Hoshi commented, chuckling at the bow. She returned it with a bow of her own, out of respect.

She took the controller, watching the steam tonk pop out. "How do you move it, Maridian?"

"The left lever makes it go forwards if you push it up, backwards if you push it back. The right lever makes you turn left or right, but if you hold the button on the back it'll strafe instead. The top right button is the cannon, the top left one is the mortar, and if you push them both at once it drops a mine."

He demonstrated each of these in turn with his own, zipping the tonk around her as it fired its guns.

"Ah, all right," Hoshi said, watching the demonstration. She jumped back when the tonk started to fire at her, using the left lever to make her own go forwards while using the right lever to make it go straight for Maridian's tonk.

She pushed the top right button to fire the cannon at his tonk, watching to see what he'd do in retaliation.

His response was to strafe sideways to avoid further fire, then reverse! A mine popped out of the tonk as it wheeled backwards to discourage her fire. They reversed slower than they went forwards, but it continued to fire its canon occasionally to further discourage her.

Oh no, you don't, thought Hoshi as she tried to keep up with the controls, moving her tonk over to the side to avoid getting hit. She then followed up her defense by spinning around to hopefully not get hit by the cannon's fire.

Ha! Now that he had range he deployed the mortar, launching a heavy round at her tonk. "Mortars have a longer range, remember!" he called out with a grin.

"Argh!" Well, she expected that this wasn't going to go as smooth as her beyblading did, having quite a bit of unfamiliarity with the tonks. So, her's took a decent sized hit and looked to be struggling to continue on.

And that's when Mar's charged back in, cannon firing as it strafed nimbly around the mine it had dropped.

Oh, that was right. Hoshi never called Seraphiel back and he had quite a bit of spin on him left still.

With a mischievous grin, she moved one hand off of the controller and positioned that hand to her beyblade, it ramming over to Maridian's tonk to hopefully take it off course.

"Oh, is THAT how you want to play it!?"

In one seamless motion Mar pulled the shield off his back and hurled it. Holy energy sheathed it as it spun towards the beyblade with deadly accuracy.

Well, Hoshi signed herself up for something definitely out of the worlds! She made sure to jump out of the way of the shield so that she wouldn't end up being hit by it.

The beyblade jumped up, suspended in motion by the air and landed down on the ground in a few seconds, spinning just as proud as it was previously.
