[In the moment he drifted upward, at least free of his immediate predicament, some part of Roxas had to marvel at what kind of world would have twisted Xion like this. He thought back to less than an hour ago, when he fought Riku and could feel that anger consuming him. Would something like this with himself have been an outcome of that. Well, that was a matter he didn't want to think about.
Admittedly, he'd admit that he was still woefully out-matched here. If she'd just absorbed him, that would have been one thing -an extra Keyblade and some Samurai Nobodies, not much difficulty there. But in absorbing Sora as well, she gained all of his special abilities -abilities that he'd admit were legion compared to his own. It was looking grim indeed.
His eyes drifted closed for a moment. He could feel the world crawling to a stop for a moment as he wordlessly uttered a silent prayer of sorts.
Axel... Xion... I need my friends now. I don't know how -but I need you to help me. I'm fighting for all of us. Somehow, somewhere. I need you to believe in me. And from that, I'll find a way.
Whether the psychological moment to breathe granted it or if somehow his friends responded, it couldn't be said. But he could feel a wave of clarity flooding his senses as he watched the Sonic Blade coming at him. His body twisted as the attack neared, the rain guard of Aubade deflecting the direct hit as he used it for leverage and snapped his leg out in a lightning-fast snap-kick aimed directly at that arrogant smirk.
Whatever happened. Somehow he knew they believed in him. Whether it a trick of his imagination or not, that couldn't be said. But because of that. He wouldn't give up until his body and will were rendered to nothingness.]
Heh, it's hard to resist adding some headcanon in to level the playing field.
