[For a moment, Roxas stood there, frozen like a deer in headlights as he tried to comprehend what exactly he was up against. Thankfully, the Samurai was at least somewhat brighter than the normal run; the bonus to being genuinely emotionless was that fear and uncertainty meant absolutely nothing to it. However, it recognized its master and with a prompt shove, moves him out of immediate harm's way as a destructive pillar literally erases it without a trace.
The shove jarred his nerves into working again.
He hastily snatched up the semi-conscious Xion, hefting her across his shoulders before leaping as far up as he could and Gliding again. Deftly, he maneuvered amidst the pillars swerving to the sides and doing his best to keep his passenger with him.

It suddenly made sense why his foe was so strong; she was either some really repressed feelings of dislike she held for Roxas or amidst the memories she recently absorbed, she let in this Xion that was now basically trying to hijack this world... and to his dismay, if that were the case, she was succeeding.]
