>>10014439>...you just GOT a match, are you daft?>Not to mention Onigiri-san had quite the performance. If anything, wouldn't you want me? Is this business with rice and corn truly that meaningful to you?>I mean, you're a CHEERLEADER! Shouldn't you care about a local sports team or something or-->Ugh, forget it.Sapphire and Onigiri's explanations...end up making more sense than she thought they would. It was true; wacky bath shenanigans does not a strong warrior make, or so she thought. She had hope in Holly pushing her to her limit...and oddly enough, it paid off. Or perhaps that was the oni in her. Who could say? On another note: "First real life friend." Come to think of it...didn't Amy Flame mention Sapphire being quite a good friend to her?
No. This was how it starts. A pat on the back and some girl talk; the next thing you know, it's chucking WWA talent into a basement and torturing them. Here was Onigiri, determined and excited to keep fighting...even though she fought valiantly despite comments of her being lazy. What did it matter who the target was, or what the reason was? It was a Divine Angel. Shogun contemplated: if she had gotten to Amy Flame sooner, would she have turned the way she did? ...no matter. It wouldn't happen to Onigiri.

I'm frustrated at myself for coming up short again...but I'm so proud of you.>And I suppose this is also a bad time to suggest that maybe we team up more often? I suppose being under the Stellar Stars, that was going to happen anyway, but...>...I...I think I'd like to be a better friend to you, Onigiri-san. To put more faith in you and your skills. To have you rely on me.Just as Skelly had done. Just as Sapphire was doing. In the WWA, bonds were a weapon. Shogun had to sharpen hers.
>To be a Stellar Star.
