Here I am again people!

I started this early so I could get it to you faster so be happy.

Enjoy!

With a furious yell, Xion charged at the darkside and then leaped, hoping to get a head-shot and finish it off. She flew towards it and with almost in-human accuracy hit it head on.

Nothing happened.

She hung there for a milli-second with her keyblade on the creatures head before being forcibly thrown off by some sort of energy field, and landed on the other side of the Station Plaza.

Xion landed on her feet, and looked back up at the darkside which now had an almost invisible barrier surrounding it.

"What the heck? I didn't know they had FORCE FIELDS!"

She growled, and charged at it again- this time going for an even more powerful blow to the force field.

No dice.

Groaning, she stood up from where she was knocked back. She was running low on health now, so she decided to take out some of the smaller shadow heartless with magic for some spare HP. While she was doing this however, she started to feel power build up from somewhere inside her, and the more shadows she defeated, the stronger it was.

Xion had never felt power like this before; in the short time that she had started to use the keyblade, the only things she had learned were basic combos and magic. This new magic was foreign to her, and she wondered if she should actually try and use it.

Glancing up at the darkside, she saw it just standing there staring at her, as if it was daring her to try to break the barrier again.

'Well, it's the best I have right now.' She thought, and then glanced over to Roxas, who still appeared to be unconscious. 'And I have to get him out of here...'

Taking a deep breath, she closed her eyes and started to focus on the unfamiliar power. It was difficult and at first nothing happened, but slowly it radiated outward and she felt a searing heat surround her.

The funny thing was though; it didn't burn. Slowly opening her eyes, she looked down at her arms and keyblade. They were surrounded by a glowing orange aura that radiated heat.

"Well that's new." She said.

One of the small shadows approached her again, and she gave it a good hit with her keyblade as usual.

Only this time, when she went to swing her keyblade, flames shot out and the heartless was engulfed in an inferno.

"Sweet!" she shouted. "Now I have a fighting chance!"

Xion began to slice through the ranks of shadows with her newfound power, making some of them explode on contact.

When all the shadows had been destroyed, she turned her attention back to the barrier.

Hesitantly, she struck it once with her keyblade and grunted with satisfaction when she wasn't thrown back. She even thought she felt the barrier shift slightly under her blow.

"Alright then, let's do this!"She shouted, and started hitting the barrier with everything she had.

After landing numerous combos, the barrier finally cracked, and with one final snap the barrier shattered and disappeared.

Wasting no time, she shot foreword and leaped up to the creatures head, severing it with a single swipe.

Xion leapt away, and then looked up just in time to see the darkside violently explode into flames, before disappearing in thick black smoke.

She stood there for a while, panting, before the magic power wore off and the fiery glow surrounding her faded. (1)

The adrenaline still pumping through her, she ran over to Roxas; he was laying face-down on the ground and still hadn't moved. When she got closer, she found that he was bleeding heavily from a wound to his shoulder and another slight gash on the back of his head.

"Oh Roxas..." she mumbled, gently turning him over onto his back. To her horror, she found that he was bleeding from yet another wound across his chest; it had cut open the fabric of his coat and sliced a line five inches long, and almost an inch and a half deep.

Her eyes widened and she gasped. Now that there was no pressure on the wound, it was starting to bleed harder, staining the orange brick below them red. Tears started to well up in her eyes again.

If she didn't get him to a hospital of some sort soon, he would surely die of blood loss.

'No! I can't lose him here! Not like this!'

Quickly throwing her hood back on, she summoned a dark portal, put Roxas 'arms around her neck, and dragging him along, walked towards dark, swirling mass.

'Please let me make it in time!'

If you have played birth by sleep, this attack should be familiar to you. If not, then I'll just leave this up to your imagination. ^-^
