"I thought you were gonna say I was both!" Roxas shot back. The pillars goaded him into immediate action; mimicking his opponent, Roxas impaled his blades into the ground, then jumped onto their handles. Another jump, and he easily cleared the blast zone with several feet to spare, then he began to fall, coming down on Axel hard.

With the swipe of his empty hand, one keyblade reappeared to make the attack connect; the second blade returned in the followup. His aim for the moment was to catch their weapons together, create a small impasse if he could. "Nice trick," he commented. "Think you could use that on, you know, the Heartless next time?"
