Chapter 12- Behind The Mask 1
THE FANS HAVE SPOKEN! Lavi shall start right now!
Lavi: Prepare for fire, thunder, and wood! XD
U.U; Okay, okay, just go fight! XO
Lavi gripped his hammer tightly as he faced Xerxes in the rocky area.
"Are you ready, Lavi?" Xerxes asked, and Lavi gave a short nod.
The two stared at each other until Xerxes suddenly appeared behind Lavi, and Lavi swung his hammer back at him.
Xerxes blocked the hammer with the back of his hand, but suddenly paused as Lavi kicked him in the mask.
Xerxes hit the ground, but got back up quickly.
He glanced up in the air to see Lavi with his large hammer.
Lavi swung his hammer down at Xerxes, and the Noah jumped back to dodge it.
Lavi raised his hammer quickly, and the red kanji appeared on the hammer.
Lavi slammed the hammer into the ground, and he said. "Gouka Kaijin."
Flames erupted around Xerxes, and the Noah chuckled as he swung his hand and the flames were blown away.
"Try again." He said as Lavi smirked with his hammer back in the air.
"Okay then! Tenchi Bankai!" Lavi shouted, and when he hit the ground with his hammer, large tree trunks shot out of the ground and surrounded Lavi from view.
"Trees? Interesting…" Xerxes muttered until a circle started to appear on one of the trunks, and Xerxes flinched as he jumped away when flames billowed out. Lavi kept his smirk on as he used one of the trunks to get higher in the air.
"This'll end it!" Lavi shouted, and he slammed the ground with his hammer and shouted. "Gouraiten!"
Xerxes's eyes widened from behind his mask, and he swiftly brought his other hand out as thunder struck him dead on.
Lavi braced himself again as he lifted his hammer while the smoke cleared.
"Had enough?"
"Not enough, Lavi."
Lavi smirked again as he calmed tapped the ground with his hammer, and said. "Okay then. Tenchi Bankai."
More tree trunks shot out of the ground, and Xerxes watched as Lavi rode one into the air.
"Here I come!" Lavi shouted as he hit the trunk he was standing on with the hammer, and said. "Raitei Kaiten!"
Lightning shot down the trunk, and Xerxes swiftly jumped into the air to avoid the lightning, but he felt a chill as above him, Lavi had jumped off of the trunk and swung his hammer down at Xerxes.
Xerxes watched as the hammer hit him, and he smashed into the ground as Lavi landed gracefully nearby.
"Not bad, Lavi." Xerxes muttered as he stood back up, and Lavi grinned as Xerxes's mask started to break.
"At least I get to see your face." Lavi stated, but perked up when he heard Xerxes start to chuckle.
"Really? You want to see what's under this mask?"
"Yes."
"Really?"
"I said yes!"
"Okay then." Xerxes reached up for his mask, and Lavi eagerly watched as Xerxes swiftly grabbed his mask and tossed it off his head.
"Another mask." Xerxes said, and Lavi fell to the ground as Xerxes revealed an identical mask underneath the old one.
"That's not funny!" Lavi snapped as his hammer grew more to its middle size, and Xerxes chuckled again as Lavi swung at him.
"Really? Cedric found it hilarious." Xerxes said, and blocked Lavi's hammer with his hand, and then swiftly grabbed the cross on top of it, and swung Lavi into a boulder.
"Are you going to get serious again, or is that all you have?" Xerxes asked as Lavi stood up, and gripped his hammer with a grin on his face.
"Of course I'll keep on fighting. I need to save Lenalee, and the only way to do that is to beat you all to a pulp!" Lavi shouted, and swung his hammer down again.
"Gouka Kaijin!" Flames shot out of the ground again, and Xerxes sighed as the flames engulfed him.
"Is that really all?" Xerxes started to ask until Lavi said. "Tenchi Bankai!"
A tree trunk shot out from under Xerxes, and threw the Noah into the air, and Xerxes stared down at the flames and tree trunk until he felt someone behind him.
"Raitei Kaiten!" Lavi shouted, and hit Xerxes with the lightning, which sent the Noah back to the ground.
"Time to end this!" Lavi shouted as he prepared his hammer again, and Xerxes watched as Lavi's hammer grew more and more.
"Didn't I tell you that the bigger it is, the harder it'll be to hit me!?" Xerxes snapped as Lavi swung the giant hammer down, and it collided with Xerxes's outstretched hand.
"Now really, try something new."
"Okay, Gouraiten."
Xerxes's eyes widened as he saw the symbol on the hammer, and the thunder engulfed him in a large explosion.
Moments past, and then Lavi stood up from the receding smoke, and he grinned at where Xerxes was standing as the two panted heavily.
"Not bad, Lavi."
"You too."
"Heh, can you still fight, or are you done?"
"Not yet." Lavi readied his hammer and Xerxes raised his braced himself as the two continued to fight.
"That last attack was great, Lavi." Xerxes suddenly said, and Lavi stared in surprise as Xerxes placed a hand on the ground, and he said. "Time for me to fight harder."
Lavi watched as Xerxes slowly raised his hand, and from a small hole in the ground created by Xerxes, a hammer identical to Lavi's appeared.
"You can use a hammer, and yet you mock mine?" Lavi asked, and Xerxes chuckled as he readied the hammer.
"You're going to see what exactly you are up against, Lavi!"
Lavi and Xerxes readied their hammers, and Lavi smirked as he slammed his into the ground.
"Tenchi Bankai!" Several tree trunks shot out of the ground again, and Lavi grinned as he readied his second attack until one of the tree started to melt.
"What!?"
"Gouka Kaijin!"
Lavi flinched as fire billowed through the trunk, and he barely was able to dodge to the side.
"How did you do that!?"
"Heh, what's the matter, Lavi? Shocked that someone can use the same powers as you? You shouldn't be though." Xerxes said as he reached up for his mask.
Lavi watched as Xerxes gripped the mask, and then slowly removed it.
"It's been eighteen years since I saw you, Lavi. Sorry for leaving you, but I couldn't have you see me as a Noah." Xerxes said as he tossed his mask to the ground, and he grinned as his red hair glowed in the sunlight.
"Well, Lavi? Are you just going to stand there in shock, or are you going to fight again?" Xerxes asked the very shocked Lavi as he stared at Xerxes.
"It can't be though…"
"Hm? So you are surprised, huh? Well then, sorry once again." Xerxes said as the row of crosses appeared on his forehead, and he grinned at Lavi.
Lavi noticed a scar going through Xerxes's right eye, and the Noah smiled as he readied his hammer again.
"On guard, brat."
"D…"
D what? Donut! XD o.o No? Destruction? Desolation? Disaster? Death? Doom? Daisies? Dog?
What the hell is the D?! Heh, you'll find out in Part 2 of this fight! That's right! Each fight is two chapters long! XD
