Lavi and Tyrir stared at each other as their weapons glowed red.

Lavi slammed the ground with his hammer, and grinned as Tyrir stared at him puzzled.

"Hi Ban: Gouka Kaijin!" Lavi said, and the pillar of flames billowed out of the large red symbol on the ground.

The fire twisted into a serpent, and attacked the spot in the middle of it.

The flames suddenly exploded, and Lavi smirked as he looked away.

"Good bye, Noah."

"Hmph, that was weak."

Lavi's eyes widened as he started to turn around, but his shoulder was suddenly impaled by Tyrir's katana.

"Hehehe…" Tyrir pulled his katana out of Lavi's shoulder, and Lavi fell to his knees as his body seared in burning pain.

"Like it? My blade can stand up to even the strongest of heat. I simply heat the blade up so it can even slice through metal without a problem." Tyrir stated as Lavi stood to his feet, and readied his hammer.

Tyrir smirked as Lavi jumped into the air, and Tyrir's katana collided against Lavi's hammer as the two gritted their teeth.

Lavi jumped onto the ground, and raised his hammer as the stamps appeared around it.

"Tenchi Bankai!" Lavi shouted as tree trunks shot out of the ground, and Tyrir watched as they towered over him.

"How pathetic." Tyrir muttered, and he made a slashing motion with his katana, and the next second, the tree trunks were slashed in half.

"W-What…" Lavi muttered as he stared in shock at the burning tree trunks.

"I told you, my katana can slice steel with ease. A weak tree trunk can't stand a chance against it." Tyrir said with a smirk as his blade started to hiss from the heat.

Lavi readied his hammer again as the remaining tree trunks stood tall among the two.

"Raitei Kaiten!" Lavi shouted, and thunder shot out of where he slammed his hammer, and it struck Tyrir head on.

"Ha, now lightning!? Don't mock me, boy!" Tyrir shouted, and the thunder suddenly broke apart as Tyrir's blade sparked a little.

Lavi lowered his head as he raised his hammer again, and Tyrir braced himself as Lavi's hammer glowed a different color.

"Hehehe… Don't hold it against me, but I'm going to have to drown you." Lavi said as he slammed the blue glowing hammer down on the ground, and water shot out of the ground.

"Hmm… Interesting…" Tyrir muttered as the water hit him head on, and where she was, Milly covered her face as the wind picked up.

"What's going on… Who are you, Lavi?" She muttered quietly as Lavi lifted his hammer and looked at the surrounding puddles.

"Heh, it looks like water is your weakness, fire head." Lavi said with a grin, and he turned away to go see how Milly was.

"Like I said, don't underestimate me, brat."

Lavi froze as he fell to his knees and his hands trembled as his hammer fell onto the ground.

"W-What is going on… I can't move my arms…" Lavi muttered as his arms trembled, and he looked behind him to see Tyrir standing with his katana resting on his shoulder.

"Fire is not the only thing I play with. I also like playing near outlets, running with scissors, and power lines." Tyrir stated as he raised his katana, and it sparked again as the blade glowed red again.

"Lightning…" Lavi muttered as his arms continued to tremble, and Tyrir grinned as his blade suddenly melted to a puddle of liquid, and Lavi stared at it in surprise.

"That happens a lot." Tyrir stated as he swung the bladeless katana, and it suddenly sparked as a blade of flames appeared out of the hilt, and it sparked as lightning surrounded the fire blade.

"Destruction isn't always fire. I control Fire, Metal, Lightning, and Wind." Tyrir stated as Lavi gritted his teeth while his arms continued to tremble.

"You hit my blade several times, and each time you were shocked by the lightning. You can't stand, you can't hold your weapon, and you can't move." Tyrir stated as he raised his katana above Lavi, and he grinned.

"Sayonara." Lavi looked up weakly at the blade, and he gritted his teeth.

'Damn it… Was this all I could do? I need to save Lenalee… I don't care if she likes Allen or Kanda, but I know that I like her too! I can't die here!'

"Hi Ban: Gouka Kaijin!" Lavi shouted as he grabbed his hammer, and then slammed it onto the ground.

Tyrir flinched as the flames billowed out around him, and he gritted his teeth before blowing the flames away with a swing of his blade.

"Not good enough!" He shouted as he swung down at Lavi, and Lavi made a weak smirk on his face.

"Got ya." He muttered, and a tree trunk suddenly shot out from under Tyrir, and flung the Noah into the air.

"What the!?" Tyrir started to shout until he sensed Lavi behind him, and he glanced behind him just in time for Lavi to hit him back down to earth with his hammer.

"Gouraiten!" Lavi shouted, and then hit the tree trunk which sent a large amount of lightning down at where Tyrir was.

Lavi landed on the ground with a stagger, and he fell to his knees as his hammer rolled out of his still hand.

"That's all… I could… muster up… Lenalee…" He muttered before falling forward, and Milly slowly walked up to him as she looked down at him in worry.

"Lavi?" She asked as she knelt down and checked his heart.

"Good, he's still alive." She said with a sigh of relief.

"Damn you, Exorcist…"

Milly's eyes widened as she looked behind at where Lavi had attacked, and she froze as Tyrir stood back up with his destroyed cloak falling to the ground in pieces.

Milly moved so she was in front of Lavi, and she held his head against her to protect him.

"Now I'm mad…" Tyrir said calmly as the air started to grow more humid, and Milly's eyes wavered as the heat continued to increase.

Tyrir chuckled calmly as his katana's hilt crackled with static, and it burst into a large thunder blade.

"I'll kill both of you at once…" Tyrir said as he looked down at Milly and the unconscious Lavi.

This is bad. Lavi's out of the fight due to static, and now Tyrir is getting mad. This is very bad for Lavi...
