Augh—! [it's not exactly the most pleasant sound as he hits the ground with a thud, but after a groan, he's pulling himself to his feet. it's likely he'll need to heal up a bit when all is said and done, but right now, there's no time for that. once he's up, roxas is quick to grit his teeth, calling down six thin pillars of light that are topped by a curious emblem. they completely surround him, and after a yell, he sends them shooting outwards at the beast, hoping to at the very least stagger it so he can get more hits in without taking more damage.]
