Axel jumps back, quick as always, but the spell isn't exactly slow. It catches him on the side, magic splashing over his arm and torso, immediately crystallizing into painfully frigid-looking frost and ice. He grimaces briefly, and Roxas knows why from experience. It hurts, even if it's not enough to take him out.
He better step in to end this, though. Painful as getting nailed with elemental magic can be, Axel's more than capable of fighting back against it. But that would make this fight real, and that needs to not happen. Raising a Keyblade, he steps forward, accidentally-on-purpose blocking Sora's direct line of spellcasting, and calls down a lightning spell directly on Axel. It'll leave him singed but not take him out.
"You ready to face both of us?" he asks, trying to convey a threat with his voice and a sense of get out of here with his expression.
"Oh, no way. Two of you?" Axel shakes his head and steps back, hands on his hips. "Sorry, but I know when to cut my losses. I'm sure I'll see you again soon, though." A corridor of darkness swirls up around him, and Roxas almost thinks he sees a wink before Axel goes. And then it's just the two of them.
He waits for a second, halfway not wanting to look at Sora in case this has utterly failed to fool him. But then he forces himself to relax, and turns back.
"Thanks," he said. "He came out of nowhere—I didn't know anyone from the Organization was sneaking around here." That, technically, was not a lie. He didn't know for sure.
