Now remember that a Nobody is created when someone's Heart is consumed by the Heartless.

Consider the sheer number of worlds that were consumed by Heartless in the first game, and that many of them were canonically Disney movie worlds. Here's another little bit of Fridge Horror: how are the other Nobodies so certain Xemnas can turn them into Dusks?. The flipside though is that what Saix would really have done if he had determined that Xion was completely useless would be to force Roxas to kill her. At this point, Xion didn't know she was a Replica, and so she was still under the impression that she was a Nobody like everybody else in the Organization. Xion ASSUMED Saix would turn her into a Dusk, given that she'd seen him threaten other Nobodies with a similar fate. Fridge Brilliance: Saix never threatened to turn Xion into a Dusk. So Saix would've essentially been taking both the heart and soul of a teenage umm. Terrifying concept on its own, except later we find out that she's not a Nobody but a Replica and one who would most likely have a strong enough will to become a humanoid Nobody. When she was losing her ability to wield the Keyblade, Saix threatened to turn her into a Dusk a non-sentient Nobody. Xion is a source of Fridge Horror but here's one thing that makes an already Nightmare Fuel loaded scenario even worse. But since it was only an illusion, it might not have physically harmed him, or perhaps Mickey couldn't tell he was in true danger. Though the asshole other king (banished or not) in the room was kinda distracting. Add to that the fact Mickey later said that he originally believed that all darkness was bad no matter what, that includes those who wield darkness.
Of course Namine saves him and all, but where was the one who told him "You're not alone" in Riku's hour of greatest need? It might not be horrific to some, but the idea that everybody's childhood companion Mickey Mouse left someone to die is rather unnerving. Now Riku's in a position that if no one snaps him out of it, he will die. During Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories in Reverse/Rebirth when Riku was being Mind Raped by Zexion and was thrown into an illusion that made him think he drowning in light, which is implied to have the ability to actually kill him off if Riku gave into it.
