Like Heismay, Roxas was also unaware of the revealing conversation that took place in the Orbital Space Station. Sandalphon herself seemed somewhat tight-lipped about the exact details of what happened up there, too. Roxas was curious, but not curious enough to pry the archangel about it. Instead, the Nobody took a final look at the Raphael Space Center before ultimately departing with the Seekers. He chose not to ride on the stagecoach, and instead decided he could simply ride on Turbo. But first, there was something he wanted to finally get out of the way.

Roxas let Scamp out of his Poke Ball and pet the Boltund before digging a certain Orb from the confines of his backpack. It was a spirit he had been holding onto for some time, unsure of what it was he wanted to do with it. If he recalled correctly, it was originally one of Primrose’s prizes from the Orb Machine back in Carnival Town. But the dancer had since given it to him, and even now it was essentially burning a hole in the Keyblade Wielder’s pocket.

[color=gold]”What do you think, Scamp?”[/color] Roxas asked his Boltund, [color=gold]”Should I…?”[/color] While Roxas had gotten over much of his initial fears and anxieties about fusion thanks to Blazermate easing him into it, the Nobody still found himself only really using that function of Spirits a sparse few times. In fact, even now he had only fused with a total of three spirits in all - RockTrans, Infinite, and Ramza. That would make this spirit the fourth. Scamp gave the orb capsule a curious sniff before wagging his tail and giving a bark of approval. [color=gold]”Alright, if you say so…”[/color] Roxas replied as he cracked open the orb and palmed the Spirit contained within. He held it up for a closer look before pressing the spirit to his forehead.

The host's hair color has become a light blonde-green, his eyes are more yellow, and his attire is now predominantly dark blue, with black pants. This spirit confers the Skill [b]Agitation Vent[/b], a passive ability that will activate automatically once the host reaches a heightened level of stress. When that happens, the moisture inside his body will be rapidly converted into steam and released through his pores, pushing away enemies and projectiles within a short radius of his body and providing a fifteen-foot cylindrical smokescreen he can hide in. Using this ability dehydrates him, however, and it will not activate if he's dehydrated. This spirit also confers the Weakness [b]Earth Bane[/b], increasing damage taken from earth-aspected attacks by 10%[/hider][/center]

When the flash of light faded, Roxas found himself looking almost unchanged save for his clothes becoming predominantly dark blue and his eyes becoming yellower, although he couldn’t see that change for himself yet. The knowledge and instinct of the spirit that flooded into him was one of a martial artist of all things, albeit one who was also known for tinkering. Roxas felt like he could channel the moisture in his body into powerful new attacks if he kept fighting and getting stronger. Fighting with his fists was something he never really considered before, but given that Ramza also possessed abilities that stemmed from a Monk job, maybe those two would end up synergizing?

[color=gold]”How do I look, Scamp?”[/color] Roxas asked his Pokemon, which elicited a sniff followed by a bark of approval. [color=gold]”Glad you approve. Okay then, we’d better catch up with the others. Wouldn’t wanna miss meal time, would we?”[/color] Roxas playfully said as he recalled Scamp back to his Poke Ball and released Turbo so he could hop onto her back. [color=gold]”Alright Turbo, let’s ride!”[/color] The Revavroom revved her engines and sped off to catch up with the stagecoach where Roxas could look forward to a hot bowl of stew.

It occurred to him that he hadn’t had time to do any berry hunting, and since it was getting to be time to settle down for the evening, it was probably not a good idea to be wandering around the snowscape at night in this cold weather. He would just have to let his Pokemon share in the stew for tonight instead. He could already imagine Scamp appreciating that a great deal. He loved to snag people food after all, that was something he hadn’t quite outgrown yet even as a Boltund. What a day, he thought to himself. Krat Zoo, catching a new Pokemon on the Midnight Walk, Spire 04. It was a lot, and just thinking about it made Roxas wanna yawn and fall asleep.
