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?

Hoshi held back the amount of panting that she wanted to give off, but she stood strong and resolute. She didn't mind him watching her while she was doing this, either.

"Seraphiel, give it all you've got!" she called, watching Seraphiel go right into the middle of the beyblades, trying to push them off with rather surprising strength.

Philip was right. This sport did put a considerable strain on her, but she enjoyed it through and through.

Philip mentally did the math of how everything was working out, the velocity and the kinetic force. There was a lot of power in the attacks, and he was rather appreciative of Hoshi's skill at managing such a force.

Right, the main reason Philip was here was because of the idea she brought up to him. So, it was time to give him a little demonstration.

"Seraphiel! Cast judgment upon all ye who are guilty!" she said as the archangel holy beast was summoned from the beyblade itself and going after his opponents with a mighty strike of his cross while Hoshi's hands were tightly balled into fists, her feet planted into the floor itself.

Watching the attack land, Philip touched his chin in thought. The amount of force and directed momentum was easily controlled, so it was definitely something.

"Hoshi," he called out, stepping up. "Let's adjust the simulation a little."

And he attached the Lost Driver to his middle. "As a first experiment, we'll go with the Lost Driver."

"Henshin!" And in a flash of light, he was transformed into Cyclone.

"Hm?" Hoshi asked, turning her head over to watch what Philip was doing. When she saw him transform into Cyclone, a small grin formed on her face.

"What idea do you have in mind?" she asked, interested to see what he had in mind.

"A timed battle," replied Cyclone, spreading his arms and bringing up an opponent, the Liar Dopant. "We'll have to be extra careful with this one, his lies can become reality. The objective is to take him down with a coordinated attack and memory break."

He looked over at the familiar Dopant and cracked his knuckles, shaking his arms out. "Ready?"

Hoshi steeled her emotions from being shown on the surface. She nodded to her partner and stared down the Liar Dopant. "All right, I think I can do that."

She took in a breath and smiled. "Yeah, I am. Let's start."

"Battle start."

With the Dopant coming to life, it teased the pair with a mocking, "I think this is going to hurt!" And Philip danced out of the way of the needle attack which exploded in the wall.

"Tch."

Hoshi moved as best as she could from the needles that were fired in their direction, keeping her eyes peeled for the next needle to be shot. She was also trying to keep up with Philip's pace all the while.

"Oh dear I tripped and fell!" exclaimed the Liar as he fired another needle. It struck Philip in the shoulder and his feet slid out from under him.

Catching himself, he steeled himself as he went in for a few blows.

"Philip!" Hoshi shouted, worried over the injury he sustained. She tried to keep her focus on the Dopant in front of her.

She cast a glance towards Seraphiel and nodded at her holy beast. In a brilliant burst of light, he transformed into his archangel form. "Seraphiel! Cast judgment upon all ye who are guilty!"

When the command was given, the archangel holy beast went in and whammed his cross down on the Liar Dopant, getting a good enough hit on it. However, he wasn't done with just one attack. The Dopant moved over to Hoshi and stood in front of her.

"Look at you. You're nothing short of pathetic. You should just do what's expected of girls your age -- learn how to clean, cook, and stay at home to tend to things," spoke the Dopant.

Block him out, Hoshi. You know better, she told herself.

"You're not fit to be a captain of any kind. Go home and play with your dolls."

"What do you know?!" she shouted, still trying her best to block the Dopant's jeers out of her mind.

"Liar dopant. Has the ability to make everything true for a short duration."

Cyclone looked over at Hoshi. "Steel yourself, and time the attack just right with me."

And, lo and behold, Hoshi found herself in a dress, completely uncharacteristic of who she presented herself to be with her hair tied up in pigtails. "I hate the Liar Dopant."

She steeled herself, despite the change and kept an eye on what Philip was doing. Nodding, she took a glance towards Seraphiel, deciding to turn it up a notch or two.

"SERAPHIEL! Come forth and make all the sinners pay! ELYSIUM FINAL!" she said at the same time as Philip, seeing feathers emerging to trap the Dopant in place. Then, a tremendous amount of light came forth as Seraphiel took his hand off of his cross and threw it towards their enemy, causing the ground to shake when it hit the ground.

What came next was a single nod from Seraphiel to hopefully eliminate the Dopant with the added strength of the Maximum Drive.

"CYCLONE EXTREME!"

The combined attacks slammed home and the Liar Dopant exploded, the Gaia Memory ejecting itself and flinging it away. Said user fell to the ground, unconscious before the simulation fizzled away.

Landing, Philip undid his transformation. "I think we've got a basic idea going on."

Once the supposed reality dissolved, Hoshi panted and smiled. "I do too," she said, glad to not be in a dress and for her hair to be in the same way it usually was left in.

She wiped the sweat from her brow off with the sleeve of her shirt, shaking her head. Out of the two attacks Seraphiel had, Elysium Final did require a good sized amount of strength and focus with it.

"We'll have to try it again, next time in Double when you feel up to it," said Philip. "For now get a little rest and don't train too hard. Stressing the body doesn't help."

"That sounds good to me, and we can try by whenever it's tomorrow on here," replied Hoshi. She did give Philip a gentle smile, chuckling.

"All right. Is your shoulder okay?"

"It's fine. I didn't take any real damage from it," said Philip, rotating his shoulder to show that he had full range of motion.

"That's good!" Hoshi said, glad that Philip was all right from the attack his shoulder sustained.

It felt good, as well as calming, to let the proverbial shield down once in a while, which Philip helped with that part.

"Say, do you wanna go somewhere just to relax?" she asked while she opened her hand for her beyblade, it instantly coming into her hand.

"Sounds like a plan," said Philip. "Anywhere in mind?"

Once Hoshi pocketed her beyblade, she thought about a place she wanted to go and the Sensoriums shifted to her own home.

"Guess this is the place," she said, looking around. They were in the living room with three couches surrounding the TV with a coffee table in the middle. There were a few pictures of her family around with a couple of vases for flowers around.

Philip looked out the window. "This is your home, I take it?"

He could feel that it was lived in, comfortable. Safe. It was a place to hang a hat in.

"Yeah, it is. Usually, my mama would be in the kitchen making something, but..." Hoshi spared a glance over to the kitchen, seeing that she wasn't there.

"I can show you around, if you'd like."

Philip nodded. He had only created his friends and family once in the sensoriums well before Hoshi had woken up, and it was a strange memory to be sure of. "Lead on then."

Hoshi nodded and she showed Philip the kitchen where there was at least something going on in there, then in the living room once more. She led him then upstairs to where her parents' bedroom was on the left and down the hallway was her room.

Inside, she had a bed with a Japanese flag up above her bed with a few bandages around the nightstand.

"This must be when I had my accident."
