...No choice then ...
Witnessing the large orb overhead, Auron realized that this guy might drag things out for far too long. His speed was pretty decent, and his orbs were becoming more trouble than he was worth. Slowly he broke free of his crouched stance and stood up normally, resting the long blade on his back as he freed his left arm.He wouldn't use the full extent of this attack, but the fire that boy seemed to have conjured up would be a good substitute. "...Don't die." he muttered, gripping Masamune with both hands. Immediately the wind surrounding him picked up, and swinging his sword around three times, that powerful gust was sent towards Drake, becoming a powerful tornado in the process. The power of that tornado would suck in the Firaga's and Drake as well.
Sending him in the air, Auron stood firmly against the harsh winds as the fire became one with that tornado, basically becoming a Tornado of fire. Now, this attack was nothing compared to his normal Tornado, so at best, the kid might come out burned and beaten. This attack wasn't easy to escape or guard against.
...Its over... he was quick to assume, but no one had ever escaped the full extent of this attack, a minor extent might not be any different.
The moment the winds picked up, Riku knew the attack would be major, so with Way to the Dawn out in front of him, he placed his right foot on it and brought Xion and Kairi into a tight hug, trying to keep them from getting sucked into that powerful, flaming vortex. That guy wasn't an ordinary competitor ..maybe Riku wouldn't need to intervene as he suspected. "Man ..who is that guy?" he wondered over the harsh winds.
