A cursory glance around their arena of sorts revealed that their time was very quickly running out and he was running out of space to move. Considering his usual preference for hit-and-run tactics, this situation was growing worse with each passing second.
And yet with all that was on the line, he refused to yield.
No sooner had Roxas' feet touched the ground from his hop back than did he charge at full speed and hurl a dashing punch at his recovering foe's jaw. With their ground rapidly vanishing, he didn't even need a knock-out at this point, he just needed to off-balance him and send him off into the murky depths below.
Of course, odds were, both of them were going down that way at this point. It was just a matter of who was going first.]
