chapter 7: Rematch!: part 2
Lophin broke into a sprint and attempted to ram Talon, who jumped out of the way and activated his sharingan. Lophin slid into a 180-degree turn and through three kunai at Talon, who deflected them all with shuriken. Talon started doing hand signs, "Phoenix Fire Jutsu!"
Lophin caught each flaming shuriken, his hands bursting into flames, and his skin lopping off his bone because of it. Lophin lunged at Talon wildly, rage clearly seen in his gray eyes. Talon attempted to roll out of the way, but Lophin caught him at the last second, flame and metal biting into the student's flesh. "That's it!" Talon screamed, ripping out Lophin's hand and jumping back to safety.
Lophin's arms were beginning to look like candles at this point, making Talon nervous. "How could someone bear that much pain?" he thought. Once again Lophin was the first to strike, this time with three shadow clones. Talon quickly disposed of two of them, as they attempted to surround him. He grabbed a kunai and threw it straight into the third's abdomen, blood trickling down. "What it wasn't a clone?" he wondered, I thought he made three. He turned to leave, seeing as the wound dealt should have proved fatal...
Lophin let out a blood-curdling yell and burst straight through the third clone, blood gushing instead of smoke. "Idiot! That was a blood clone!" Lophin stabbed Talon in his stomach, but Talon disappeared. "No, genjutsu!" Talon said, as he narrowly evaded the airborne attack by Talon. Lophin tripped Talon and punted him into the water, leaping after his adversary. When Lophin came within three feet of his opponent, he noticed the hand signs.
"Fire Style, Fireball Jutsu!" Instantly fire erupted from the youth's hands and enveloped Lophin. Lophin, however, wasn't responding to the pain by reverting into a demon, he just combusted like a normal person. Stunned and bewildered, Lophin fell prey to the taijutsu combo made by Talon. Lophin skidded across the water, sinking into its depths.
"Now," Lophin thought. He launched himself out of the water, rising twenty feet above its surface and screamed at the top of his lungs, "Demon Jutsu, Scream!" Lophin's mouth widened, splitting back into his skull, as chakra was gathered there. Talon lost face at this oncoming fright and tried to swim to shore; however, he never made it. The erupting sound wave caught him full blast and tore the lake to pieces, the water being splattered over a three-mile radius. Lophin fell to the ground, breaking his legs, from chakra exhaustion. Talon had put all of his chakra into a makeshift shield, the moment before it hit and was just as bad off. The two would-be ninja lay there for one hour, until investigators found them and they were transported to the hospital...
