Chapter 6- The Noah Of Infinite

Lavi: All right! My own chapter!

Yep, don't you feel happy?

Lavi: ... Not really.

Date: September 19

Time: 3:29 pm

Place: Palermo, Sicily

Lavi held his hammer up as he faced Xerxes while panting slightly.

'Damn it… He's fast. I can't seem to hit him, so I guess I'll have to start fighting harder…' Lavi thought as glowing symbols appeared around his hammer.

Xerxes perked up at the symbols, and Lavi pounded one of them so a glowing red kanji mark appeared on his hammer.

Lavi jumped into the air as he held his hammer up as he gritted his teeth at Xerxes.

Xerxes jumped back as Lavi slammed the ground, and the red kanji appeared around them.

"Gouka Kaijin!" Lavi shouted, and a pillar of flames shot out from where Xerxes had landed and engulfed the Noah.

Lavi grinned as he lifted his hammer and stared at where Xerxes was.

"Sorry, but I can't hold back against someone like you."

"That's good to hear. If I was hurt by that, I'd be an insult to me."

"What!?"

Lavi stared in disbelief as Xerxes stood in the exact spot as the ground around him sizzled in the heat of the fire attack.

Xerxes raised his hand to the side, and Lavi flinched as Xerxes disappeared, and Lavi was suddenly smacked away by the back of Xerxes's hand.

Lavi slid against the ground as he tried not to fall, and when he stopped, he glared at Xerxes angrily and he readied his hammer again.

"Okay then, I'll go harder!" Lavi shouted as a different symbol appeared, and thunder shot out at Xerxes.

"Lightning? Interesting… but weak." Xerxes said, and swiftly smacked the lightning away with one hand, and Lavi stared in more disbelief at Xerxes.

"Who exactly are you!?"

"I told you, I control "Infinite" also known as The Unknown, or Space." Xerxes stated as he held his hand up to the side again, and traced a circle in the air.

Lavi stared at him puzzled until Xerxes suddenly punched the spot he had traced, and his fist suddenly shot out of thin air, and struck Lavi in the head.

Lavi tumbled to the ground, and Xerxes pulled his fist out of the small circle he made in the air.

"That explains how you survive the fire." Lavi said as he stood up again, and brushed away some blood from his bottom lip.

Xerxes flexed his hand as he put his other hand in his cloak's pocket.

"I will only need one hand to beat you, child."

"Heh, stop talking like you're so much older than me. You're probably only 20."

"I'm 43."

"What the hell!?"

Lavi gritted his teeth as Xerxes titled his head to side, and then suddenly appeared behind Lavi, and Lavi could barely turn around before he was hit away again with one hand.

Xerxes lowered his right hand, and stared after Lavi as the red head rolled away, but suddenly stood up as he stared at Xerxes.

"Good reflexes." Xerxes said, and Lavi smirked as he readied his hammer again.

"I'm going to finish this fight now."

"Hmph, cocky brat, aren't you?"

Lavi grinned widely as he twirled his hammer around and the symbol changed again.

"Gouraiten!" Lavi shouted, but froze as Xerxes disappeared from view, and Lavi felt a cold sweat as he looked up to see Xerxes staring down at him.

Lavi's attack hit Xerxes head on, and Lavi watched as the thunder sparked around him.

"There, he's probably dead now."

"Like I said, you're a cocky brat."

Lavi froze as he slowly glanced behind him to see Xerxes calmly staring at him.

"How!?"

"Simple. I sent your attack away." Xerxes stated calmly, and then suddenly appeared in front of Lavi, and Lavi was hit into the air as Xerxes punched Lavi in the stomach.

Lavi gritted his teeth as he readied his hammer in mid-air, and the hammer started to grow until it was the size of a small house.

"Take this!" Lavi shouted down at Xerxes as he swung his large hammer down at him.

"Futile…" Xerxes muttered, and the next moment, Lavi's hammer shattered like glass as Xerxes held up a single finger.

"How pathetic, you need to listen more when I say that you'll never hit me with that hammer." Xerxes said, and then ran his hand through Lavi's chest.

Lavi coughed up blood as his grip around his hammer lessened, and it dropped to the ground.

Xerxes swiftly removed his hand from Lavi's body, and watched as Lavi fell to the ground.

"Good bye, Exorcist." Xerxes said as he placed his other hand in his pocket, and turned to leave.

Lavi breathed heavily as he gritted his teeth angrily.

'Get up! Stop bleeding and move! I need to save Lenalee, move!' Lavi shouted in his mind, and Xerxes looked back, and a few moments later, left while Lavi's eyes started to close.

A few minutes later, Lavi could barely hear foot steps approaching as his eyes were nearly closed.

'I feel cold… Guess this is it for me… Sorry… everyone…' Lavi thought as his eyes finally closed, and the foot steps stopped as the person stood next to Lavi as they looked down at him.

"Oh boy, looks like Lavi sure is beaten up. We should quickly get him to the hospital." The person said, and then crouched down to gently lift Lavi up, but stopped when the person saw the blood around Lavi's chest.

"That's weird, how come there's blood there? I don't see any sign of a wound also, so why is there blood there, and how come he's suffering from lack of blood when there is no wound?" The person pondered out loud, and then finally lifted Lavi onto a stretcher, and carried him away.

'… I feel warm… How come? I was killed, wasn't I? I'm sure that that guy ran his hand through my body, so how come I'm not dead? Did he… save me… No… That's impossible. Why would he do that?'

Lavi opened his eyes slowly to stare up at the lit ceiling of a large room, and he slowly sat up to look around.

The room was a medic room, and Lavi glanced around at all of the equipment.

"Where am I?"

"Awake, stupid pup?"

Lavi froze at the voice, and slowly looked at the door to see Bookman glaring at him.

"Panda!" Lavi said, and was lying down again as blood rolled out of his nose.

"Shut up, and lie still if you want to live!" Bookman said angrily, and Lavi nodded frantically before looking at Bookman.

"What happened?"

"We found you on the ground covered in blood, but with no wound so we brought you back here. You suffered from blood loss though, so we're still trying to find out how." Bookman stated, and Lavi nodded as he sighed while staring at the ceiling.

"I know how…" Bookman perked up as Lavi continued. "The one I was fighting said he could control the "Infinite", so he's probably the one who closed my wound." Lavi stated, and Bookman pondered it for a moment.

"You actually might be right…" He muttered, and Lavi grinned happily, but then fell asleep moments later.

Bookman looked over at Lavi, and then sighed in relief. "At least you're alive if it wasn't for whoever did that to you…"

Xerxes walked down a long hallway lit by blue flamed candles, and then stopped as two people appeared behind him.

"What is it? What would a Noah and an Exorcist want with me?" Xerxes asked without looking behind him, and one of the two scowled angrily.

"You didn't do your job, Xerxes. You were told to kill that Exorcist boy, and instead you healed him."

"So?"

"You're being nice, Xerxes. That will only lead to you untimely defeat." The other one said, and Xerxes turned to face the two.

"Defeat? Me? I don't think so, it's just that I don't like killing weaklings like you two." Xerxes stated, and one of the two scowled angrily again.

"What did you say!?"

"You heard me, Gran." Xerxes said to the man named Gran, and Gran gritted his teeth angrily as he clenched his large fists tightly.

His entire body was muscular while an army jacket slung around his shoulder and camo pants, and as the other person had a row of crosses along her forehead, a plain white shirt with buttons going down the middle, and slim red jeans.

"Calm down, Gran." She said, and Gran glared at her too.

"Don't try to protect him, Keria!"

"Then don't get agitated over his talk." Keria shot back, and Gran quieted instantly with a last scowl before walking away.

"Oh dear, protecting me again, Keria? Oh, how like you." Xerxes said with a chuckle, and Keria stared coldly at Xerxes.

"Be quiet, Xerxes. That still isn't a excuse for not completing your job."

"Relax, I destroyed his weapon, and he won't be able to fight until he gets his blood back. I technically deleted him from the battlefield." Xerxes stated before turning away and walking away from Keria.

Keria narrowed her eyes after him, and then frowned.

"There's more to it, isn't there?"

There's Lavi's fight against Xerxes, and what a surprising end! O.o I wonder why Xerxes didn't kill Lavi when he had the chance... Oh well. XD

I have a problem. I am suffering from typing too many long stories, AND making sequels for them! I have no idea how to stop it, but it's actually pretty good even though it doesn't help me much... If you can connect the dots right, it means that I have already planned out every chapter for this story, and have a sequel planned out as well. That's a big problem, isn't it?

Next Chapter Preview: Kanda vs. Cedric. Kanda fights the Noah head on, but learns of Cedric's thread's real power. Can Kanda survive long enough to defeat Cedric? You'll see...
