[While Roxas was laying to waste the heartless behind her, Xion wasted no time in parrying another NeoShadow as it came at her, knocking it hard in the head with the pummel which sent it splintering into a black veil of mist. She had no time to gape though-- as soon enough another one was vaulting at her. Oathkeeper sang through air with a sharp swish and another heartless found itself biting the dust from the blade. Her breathing ever hurried, her eyes straining to focus on every little detail or so help them. One wrong move and that would be it.
The fear that had been crawling in him. It wasn't something he was alone with. She was terrified. Absolutely without doubt. For as much as she thought she could be. Or maybe she really was. Did replicas possess hearts? That was an answer she had never gotten. And not something on her list of priorities at the moment, frankly. Whether she really felt it or not, the thoughts existed. They were real. And that reality caused her to fight that desperate fight. Not necessarily fear for the sake of her existence. But fear for losing his existence. She wouldn't allow that.
That thought was ironic considering the sudden rush of air blowing past as he suddenly came crashing against the pavement behind her to rid of an intrusive heartless intent on backstabbing her. She had been in the middle of swinging another wide arc to knock back a few more NeoShadows, a couple having perished due to also being hit by that spell from before. She winced as some of the rubble from that impact hit her as it went flying. But that only phased her for a second.
Roxas suddenly collapsing to a knelt position made her worries soar. What's wrong!? She wanted to ask. But now wasn't the time to panic anymore than she already was. She backed up closer to him. Her eyes darting every which way while the Neoshadows filed in closer. There weren't half as many as there had been, but with him in the condition he was in and her not far behind, it was almost impossible for her to keep her frantic feelings under lock and key. Her automatic thought was the corridors, but her energy was already vastly depleted. If she tried and failed then they would be done for. And Xion wasn't about to risk that.
The other option, well... They might be slightly less done for. Maybe. It was a hard call. It felt like it took hours for her to come to decision even if it was only mere seconds. But at the sudden jump of a NeoShadow, she was ducking to link arms with roxas' keyblade-free one as she swung Oathkeeper forward in a short, clip that had enough to knock it back. And then she was swinging the keyblade back-- and suddenly let it fly. While Oathkeeper cut down some of the heartless in the way, Xion pulled Roxas to his feet, following in its wake as she supported him as best as she could. He would have to do some of the work though without doubt. But she tried her best to ensure it wouldn't be much more than half limping, half running. Pitting one thunder spell and then another against the heartless that stood in their way. Letting the rain amplify it but being careful not to cast it too close and let them get caught in it themselves. Barely, she called out.]
