Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Good sesh today," Yukio said, bright blue hair still damp from the showers as he exited the parkour gym at the same time as his favorite training partner. The cool air of the evening breeze felt delicious on his skin and through his t-shirt and loose pants. It was nights like this that it was good to be alive.

Stopping just outside the doors, he turned to his partner, reaching out to give the other young man a high-five. His expression may have been flat and deadpan, but the words and tone of his voice were anything but. "Thanks, Matt, for working with me. I knew there was something I was getting wrong on that flying roll. And the hand-stand on the wall – didn't think I could do it, but I did. That was so much fun."

He wasn't just letting the things he'd learned tonight swirl around in his head, though. Yukio was already imagining how well they'd work when he was powered up and patrolling. New tools for his arsenal of tricks to stay safe on the streets of Destiny City were always welcome.

In fact, he decided he may as well practice them now -- he'd just duck around the building and power up. "I'm likely to just parkour home. Thanks again, Matt."

Yukio watched Matt leave and half-smirked at the parting trick. Yeah, he was going to parkour home himself – powered up as Spei. Walking around to the dark alley next to the gym, he summoned his silver discus and transformed into his Moon Page alter-ego, then dismissed the prop; hard to do parkour with one's hand full.

Leaping up to the roof of the building next door, Spei did a handstand on the low wall, holding it for a few breaths before somersaulting onto the roof itself and landing in a roll. That was fun, and as he suspected much easier to do while powered. But before he could do anything else, he felt the weird tingle in the back of his mind, the one that told him a Chaos agent was nearby. Very nearby, from the feel of it.

Crap. Oh well, it just meant he'd get more parkour practice in evading the other's attacks.

Spei ran to the other side of the building and jumped down into the adjacent alley. "I know you're here somewhere," he said. "You may as well come out." He looked around to see if anyone appeared; he'd be just as happy if they didn't turn up as he would if they did.

The Page did not think better of it.

Spei felt the strength of the corrupted Senshi's aura and knew he'd be soundly beaten if he engaged. But here was an opportunity to use his parkour to evade the other's attacks – which was the entire point of learning and practicing parkour in the first place.

If the Senshi attacked. He was still undecided if he really wanted to take that chance.

"I know I'll lose," he replied, approaching the voice. "And I don't want to fight you. What I want to know is… why? Why did you corrupt? What made Order so awful that you felt you had to join the other side? I've run into so many corrupt Senshi lately. I just want to understand what would make you do such a thing."
