Roxas was still getting roughed up even as the Neuron Officer showed up to help the Seekers. But after that, a lot of the clones and their legios seemed to back off and leave him alone. Guess this stranger was a bigger threat. Well, at least that meant Roxas could catch his breath and actually think for a second. Well, he would have, if he hadn’t been immediately distracted by the sight of Hayato fusing with his own Legion into… something else. Whatever that was, it was effective, taking clones left and right. And it also seemed to have the Consul frazzled too.

Speaking of, Consul Y then recalled all the clones to him and… fused with them? All of them? Fusing sometimes had unexpected side effects, but doing it en masse like this? That couldn’t possibly be good. But at least it left him with a form they could all see and hit, so that was at least something!

[color=Gold]”It’s about time.”[/color] Roxas grumbled after seeing Sandalphon’s shot actually hit the Soul of Ambition, [color=Gold]”I was getting really tired of those invisible legios.”[/color] he began to run toward the newly formed boss enemy. Roxas was actually still banged up a bit from the beating he had been taking earlier from the legios, but he did get a healing pass from Blazermate overhead that gave him a much needed pick-me-up. That was just going to have to do for now. He had no MP, and even if he did, he would have wanted to preserve it to try and hit this ugly thing as hard as possible as soon as a chance opened up.

Speaking of opportunities, right about now was when Roxas saw Midna anchoring the boss’s arm to the bridge. Well, he had no MP still, but a shot was a shot. He dashed up to the spot on the bridge where the hand was and parkoured up onto it. From there Roxas ran up along the arm. The other arm inevitably tried to swipe at him, but Roxas was able to clear over it like jumping a hurdle. As he got close he saw the eyes of one of the heads glow in order to charge and shoot a laser attack. This he managed to block with his Keyblade causing the shot to redirect elsewhere. All during his run, Roxas had been taking potshots at the boss's heads using his RockGun.

But once he was close enough it was time to change it up. He ignited his StepSword and wielded it alongside a Keyblade in his right hand. He launched himself with the StepSword’s dash attack in order to get in a quick slice on the boss’s left-most head. He followed that up with a Keyblade strike and then used another StepSword dash to dodge an incoming laser shot resulting in him landing on the boss’s left shoulder and followed with a quick combo of slices.

Roxas didn’t want to be too risky so he used one more StepSword dash to launch himself away from the boss and back down to the bridge where Midna and her summoned creatures were positioned. His MP still hadn’t recharged, so he went back taking potshots with his RockGun. It was a good opening Midna had given him, but now that it was used up the only thing for Roxas to do was to keep stalling for his MP to recharge.

But once it did, then he could fight more earnestly. That had essentially become his strategy and fighting style. Fight more aggressively when he MP to spend, but reign it in and be more cautious while his MP recharged. And right now he was in one of those recharging phases. Of course, he’d capitalize on whatever opportunity one of his friends gave him like he did with Midna at the bridge. This did also make Roxas wish he had thought to buy some ethers or something similar. If he had items that could more quickly recharge or restore his MP, then he could be a lot more aggressive with his attacks and spells. Oh well, that was just something he’d have to think about in the future.

[color=Gold]"Remind me to stockpile some Ethers if we get out of this alive."[/color] he quipped to Midna moments after he came back from his assault on the boss's heads, [color=Gold]"The less time I have to wait for my magic to recharge, the better."[/color]
