"You know just as much as I do that we have to join sides to fight this all off!" Roxas yelled out, dual keyblade wielding action going into full effect.
"You stay away from me, I'm not falling for it," Cloud said, defending his own against the rush of heartless and nobodies.
The two had fought just moments earlier, and now, it seemed like there had been a third party. A third party that didn't really care for who was in that plaza. Who was it that could control both nobodies and heartless though? Cloud hadn't heard about this from anyone. None of his information from…his friends had any of this.
"Listen to me," Roxas said, destroying a Shadow-type heartless mere seconds before it struck Cloud. He could see Cloud's frown clearly as Cloud returned the favor when Roxas had broken concentration to speak. "Thank you," he said, still determined to get the other's aide. "But think about this. You need to get to your allies, and I need to get to mine. Help me, and I'll help you."
Cloud turned his back on the other. The SOLDIER looked anywhere, anywhere he could get to without needing any help. Anywhere at all. The entire area was covered with enemies. Cloud admitted defeat in the form of a sigh.
"Fine," he stepped back, pressing his back against the other. "I need to get back to the way I came," he nodded his head towards the end of the plaza. "from there, near the mog shop's entrance."
Roxas followed Cloud's line of sight and nodded. "I need to go the same way, just through the left," he said.
"Once we part ways, we are on our own." Cloud continued cutting away at the mass of heartless and nobodies.
"I can go with that." Roxas nodded in acknowledgment.
The two basically danced their way across the plaza, cutting themselves a path through the what seemed like an endless amount of enemies. The made sure all that they kept the circumference of their newer circle safe. This circle was a vastly different one though; it wasn't like they were hunting each other anymore. For the time being.
"Hey kid," Cloud managed to say through the panting and straining his body was going through.
"It's Roxas," Roxas blurted out.
"Hey kid," Cloud repeated.
A sigh—"What?"
"In the next rotation, jump onto my sword." Cloud ordered, taking the next steps necessary to complete the next rotation.
"I—what?" The fellow blonde turned his attention to him.
"Just do it now!" He ended up yelling; Roxas immediately jumped onto the blade.
It was then that Cloud turned it and essentially used it as a catapult, throwing the boy into the air. Roxas knew then what Cloud's plan was, and the boy returned the favor of escape by casting a plethora of magic spells, clearing the SOLDIER's path while keeping an eye on his own path.
Cloud was almost at his end and Roxas had almost landed. Blond continued to protect blond as they cleared out areas for themselves as well as each other. Across the way, the two met each other's gaze and merely nodded to each other; this was where they parted ways. The two cleared their own paths from then on, no one but themselves knowing exactly what had happened.
