Sunbreaker appeared on the bus, the ash flowing out from around her and making the manager yelp, taking a step back. "Is that necessary?" Sanjo Yukari asked.

"It is. Dramatic flair is always important," Sunbreaker said. "So that was Ikuto. And... apparently he's Cat Noir? Not exactly what I expected, but I thought he was on your side? Either way, they won't be following us."

"I guess he just resigned," Sanjo said, pulling out her phone. "I'll need to contact HQ about this."

"I take it I can still trust Easter to support Project Eclipse?" Sunbreaker asked. "I think I more than met obligations."

Sanjo had a few opinions about that, but considering the girl just burst onto the bus with fire, she was going to keep them to herself. "Of course. I'll make sure to note that you kept your end of the deal perfectly. Now, if you don't mind I need to go make some calls." She then turned and headed towards the back of the bus, dialing something on her phone and soon chatting away.

"Um..." Utau asked softly, drawing Sunbreaker's eyes.

"Yes?" Sunbreaker asked.

"... Did Ikuto... say anything?" Utau asked, glancing up.

About her? Hardly. In fact, all he'd cared about was threatening her... But... a look into the girl's eyes made her hesitate. After a moment she nodded. "Yeah. He said he thought your performance was really good and he was sorry he had to cut it short. Not in so many words, though. He was busy trying to fight me."

That, at least, brought a smile to the idol's lips.

Sunbreaker sighed and walked to the cooler, yanking out an apple juice and drinking it for a moment. There was still work to be done... Project Eclipse was coming. And none of those Sparkle Skirts were going to stop it.
