Despite the vehemence of his attacks, there was a silly sort of grin spreading across Axel's lips. He was actually having fun with this. Regardless of this strange desperation within him for Roxas to remember him -- this was the most time he had spent with his friend in a long time. "Hahaha!" he laughed again as the blonde was knocked away, striking a pose as his chakram turned full circle, almost as a boomerang would, returning to the grip of his right hand.

As the keybladist shot forward looking for an opening, Axel spotted his target immediately, and brought up the chakram in his left hand to block the attack with his own weapon. There was another great clang as metal met metal. "That the best you got?" his smile seemed to widen now that Roxas was up this close.

There was a glimmer of excitement in his green eyes. "Burn, baby!" he yelled, his twin blades bursting into large flames, a great deal of energy going into the blast, with the intention of knocking the other away.
