With a graceful cartwheel, Aqua dodges the fireballs.
Then, the sound of Ven's voice takes Aqua's full attention. She zeroes in on the source — She needs to protect the singers... but if she helps Terra and Ven, that's two more on their side to help protect Branch and Puss.
Aqua starts running.
She's not sure how Ven got here, but so excited to see them. Her heart's pounding, just as it was when she'd spotted Terra and Ven on the horizon in the Realm of Darkness, even though ♥
She stops.
Aqua's already put a few meters of distance between her and the fray, but she starts inching backward, away from her old friends. Ven is awake and alert. Terra's hair is still dark, and he still looks like himself.
"But... how did you leave the Chamber of Waking?" She says it quietly, more to herself than to Ven, as she tries to puzzle this out. She's been tricked by the darkness before, using the faces of her loved ones as bait. "How did you get here?"
She whirls, looking behind her to check on those she was meant to protect... and sees chaos. Everyone seems distracted by something now.
Just as she was distracted, too.
As if on cue, she's hit by a fireball, shaking her from her thoughts. She cries out in pain, but stays on her feet.
Her mind made up, Aqua keeps her back to the illusion of her friends and steels herself against Ventus' cries for help. She races back into the fray, brandishing her keyblade with a look of fury on her face. She raises it above her head and bellows out a simple spell:
"THUNDER!"
Pillars of lightning scatter across the ground randomly, some reaching high enough to knock some of the witches off their brooms. Before the spell's even finished, she charges toward the witch who had cast fireball, her keyblade poised to strike and glowing with power.
