Kesenai, Allen, and Lavi arrived at a room that looked like a dinner hall. Kesenai looked around and then looked ahead to see Tyki. Tyki chuckled "Hello, boys."
Kesenai growled, clenching his fists "So you're one of the bastards that got James captured…" he said.
"That wasn't my plan, that was Skinn and Lulubell's fault." Tyki shrugged as if nothing was happening.
Lulubell walked in out of nowhere "Yes, that was done by me. I thought Master Earl would enjoy that present…" she said.
"Oh, so you're that bitch…" he snarled.
"I'm a 'bitch' now, huh? No one has ever had the nerve to say that…" Lulubell said, showing an "I don't really care" face. He pulled out his sword.
"Engarde, Lulubell." he said.
"With pleasure." she said, turning her left arm into a sword. She ran at Kesenai and jumped, ready to slice down at him. Quickly, he reacted by blocking with his sword.
"Hell no!" he said, pushing her back with his sword.
"I hope you entertain me." Lulubell said, running back to him. He tried to dodge but he got his left arm sliced with a large gash in the same spot that Kanda had sliced him once before.
"Tch… Not bad.." he panted, backing away.
"Are you okay?" Allen asked from where he was standing.
"Yes. I'll take care of her… Just get to Marshal Cross and Marshal Shiro. I'll take care of Lulubell and Tyki… You just get out of here and take the damn key!" Kesenai yelled.
"But you can't take care of two Noah at--"
Allen was cut off by Kesenai "Shut up! If you really want to do something useful, then go help the Marshals, now!"
"Just come out alive!" Allen replied, running to the next door.
Tyki chuckled "Think you can take down 2 Noah? With your low level of strength?" A fire cyclone passed by, engulfing Tyki
"He'll have a better chance with me around." Lavi said, taking battle stance.
"You realize we might die here, right?" Kesenai asked, trying to see if Lavi was ready to take that caution and throw it to the wind.
"Yeah." he answered "But I don't care."
"Okay then." Kesenai replied running at Lulubell. Lulubell chuckled and dodged, stabbing Kesenai's right arm with her sword arm, but her sword arm bent instead of piercing Kesenai's flesh. She grunted and back flipped, kicking Kesenai right under his chin. Kesenai fell back, nearly losing his balance. Kesenai chuckled "Looks like this fight will be a tough one." and ran at Lulubell.
"I don't enjoy fighting so much… But I guess you've forced it on me." she said, turning her right arm into a sword as well, swinging both her flexible sword arms at Kesenai. He dodged, only some of his hair was cut off but he'd live. He took the chance that she missed by sweep kicking her left leg, dropping her down to the floor. He then aimed to stab her heart, but before the sword could pierce her flesh, she turned into a puddle of water and crawled away quickly.
"So your power is to transform, eh?" he smirked, looking at her body as she reformed to her flesh form.

Tyki brought out a Tease and turned it into a sword, lighting a cigarette and putting it in his mouth, "Bring it on, boy." he said
"Oh don't worry about that!" Lavi said as he swung his hammer down on Tyki's head. Tyki sighed and blocked with the Tease blade. Lavi seemed surprised and retreated by jumping back. "Ban! Direct Fire Seal!" he said, slamming his hammer onto Tyki's Tease. The Tease blade became engulfed in flames as well as Tyki's whole arm, soon it was his whole body. Lavi smirked "Looks like that's the end for you." Tyki walked out of the flames with his clothes burnt. "Oh? Still alive?" he asked Tyki.
"Looks like your cheating friend didn't tell you about my powers. I can slip through anything I choose to slip through that was created in this world. Sadly, I can't slip through Innocence since it is not of this world." he brushed his shoulder, explaining.
"Oh, so that means if I just kept attacking with my Innocence, then I'll be safe!" Lavi said, slamming his hammer down on the ground "Ban! Fire Seal! Hell Fire Cyclone!" he called out the name of the attack. A dragon made of flames appeared and engulfed Tyki's whole body without a problem. Tyki laughed from within the flames and walked out of it
"This attack is not even close to the power of a Marshal's." he yawned.
Lavi thought: "If he's saying it's nothing compared to a Marshal's power, then it looks like I might have some difficulty here…"
Tyki made another Tease blade "Alright then boy, lets go again, another dance, shall we?" he smirked.
--
Kesenai began unwrapping his right arm's bandages "Looks like I'll have to use this on you… Preferably I'd rather fight a man, that way I don't seem like I'm not a woman abuser, but clearly I'll have to kill you with my own hands." he said, activating his Innocence.
"Lets see if you can kill me." Lulubell said, running at him, being so direct as always.
Kesenai blocked with his right arm and smirked "Have a taste of this!" He snapped his fingers, jumping back as soon as he could to pull away for what would happen next. Lulubell looked confused at what he just did. "Time's up!" he yelled as the air around Lulubell's whole body began to become pressurized. Lulubell quickly turned her skin to steel as the explosion occurred, the explosion having no effect on her. "Damnit…" he thought.
"Looks like your red haired friend is having trouble with Tyki…" Lulubell pointed out.
"Oh, don't worry about that, he can take care of himself. The only one you should be worried about is…" Kesenai began to run at her and sliced his sword down on her. Quickly, she blocked with her hard as steel left arm. "Damn… Good reaction time." Kesenai growled, jumping back to keep away.
"Want me to put you out of your misery?" Lulubell asked, turning her right arm into a whip and lashing it at his body. He tried to dodge, but the whip completely wrapped around his body.
"Damnit!" Kesenai yelled as his body was being squeezed harshly by the whip arm. "Come on Innocence… Help me out here… I don't think you'd want me to be dead…" he thought, as he was seeing his life flash before his eyes. The last thing that came to his mind was Road's tears. "Sorry, I have someone waiting for me…" he said as he sliced Lulubell's arm off "…waiting for me back outside!!" he yelled, removing the whip off of his arm.
"Damn… Good move kid…" she said, her stump for an arm now bleeding.
"Yeah, it's nothing to do with good luck. It was an instinct…" he said, panting. "I'm going to finish this off… Right here… Right now…" he said, pointing his right arm at her. "I never thought I'd need this power here… Not against Noah… Oh well then…" he said to himself as his arm began to turn pure white, all of the circles now disappearing "Level Two Innocence… Activate… Arm of the Sinner…" he said, as different circles began to appear on his right arm, these were none like the ones from before. Some seemed more complicated than the ones from the previous Level.
"What is going on with this boy? It seems like his powers are fully changing…" Lulubell thought. He ran at Lulubell, one of his arm's new circles glowing dark purple and red together. Out of reaction, Lulubell quickly sidestepped from whatever Kesenai was planning to do. He smirked and placed the palm of her hand on her stomach. Lulubell flinched in pain and began to scream in pain. Quickly, she jumped away from Kesenai, wondering what he was doing. He pointed at Lulubell's stomach with his right arm. Lulubell looked at her stomach to see a white star, with a cross and a snake on her stomach. "What did you do…?" she asked, looking back at him.
"What I did was begin what will be the death of you… Not only is the demon inside you now burning in pain, but the human that's containing it is dying too… Basically, you as a Noah is being destroyed as well as you as a human since you're both so attached to each other…" Kesenai panted. "Though sadly, this power seems to hurt me with a burning sensation that might kill me, so I will have to make this one a quick one." he explained, running at her again. Lulubell kept dodging every jab that Kesenai was making with his right hand. Knowing that she would just keep dodging, Kesenai stabbed her with his sword, causing her to stay still for a second as he slammed his palm against her stomach on the same spot. The mark that was there began to dilate the longer he held it there. Quickly, Lulubell turned herself into water and slipped away from Kesenai, turning human again. The burning sensation in both their bodies began to burn with more intensity. Kesenai was panting, smirking because he was going to win this fight with ease, but not if she kept transforming, so he'd have to do the unexpected to win against her. Kesenai's right arm's dark purple and red circle stopped glowing. Another glow showed up from another circle on his arm, this glow was dark blue with a mix of green in it. Kesenai grabbed the blade of his sword with his right hand, the steel now melting off the sword. He smirked as his sword's blade melted off, turning into a puddle of steel liquid. Then, his right arm's dark blue with a mix of green glowing circle had stopped it's glow. Next, a light blue with a mix of yellow glow went off from another circle as he placed his right hand on the melted steel puddle, the puddle now turning into a copy of himself (Note: Yes, the skin is covered in steel.) "If you can barely deal with just one me, let's see how you can deal with two of me." he smirked, chuckling.
"There's no chance that thing could move like you could." she said in disbelief of what she saw.
"Oh really? Some things are possible…" he said as the latest glowing circle stopped glowing and a blood red one began to glow. He placed his hand on the steel copy of himself, dividing his soul in half, placing that half into the steel copy. The steel copy began to move and took out it's copy of Kesenai's sword. It ran at Lulubell with the same speed that the real Kesenai usually ran at. Lulubell quickly dodged and parried all of the movements that the clone was making. The real one's burning sensations began to become way more violent. "I have to seriously make this a quick ending…" he thought. He then ran at her quickly while she was distracted by the copy and slammed his palm harshly against her stomach "And it ends for you now!" he yelled as the dark purple and red glowing began yet again, the white mark that dilated on Lulubell before, dilated to match the exact height of Lulubell. Lulubell thens creamed even louder in pain than before "So long… Lulubell…" he smirked as Lulubell's screams fulled the room.

Lavi and Tyki stopped their fight to look at Lulubell and Kesenai. Kesenai was laughing as she was dying from the inside completely. "I feel no pity for you… Pathetic Noah…" he smirked, laughing again at her death. Finally, Lulubell stopped screaming and dropped to the ground, not moving at all. Kesenai placed his right hand on the steel copy, turning it back into a blade and reattaching it to the hilt of his sword. He looked at Tyki "Ready to fight me now, Tyki?" he asked, smirking.
"Hm, you're more of a challenge than the last time we met, boy." he smirked.
"Hope you're ready to die the same fate as her." he asked, taking his usual battle stance.
"Oh no, it won't be me who will die in this room." Tyki took his fight stance as well.
"Lavi, leave now, I'm pretty sure Allen left the door open for if we win. So I want you to go there, this is going to be a fun match." Kesenai said.
"No. We can't keep splitting up. You'll have a better chance of surviving against him if I stick around to assist you!" Lavi said, trying to make Kesenai use his common sense.
"Just go, I'll catch up. I have a promise to keep anyway." he replied, refusing Lavi's assistance offer.
"Fine." Lavi replied and he ran away to where Allen had run off to during the beginning of the fight.
"Now that the stupid rabbit is out of the way, we can finally start our fight." Kesenai began running at Tyki as Tyki made a Tease blade, running at Kesenai as well. His sword clashed against Tyki's Tease blade. They were evenly matched "Hey, remember I cut your chest before, and my friend kicked your ass?" he asked, jumping back.
"Oh yes, for that defeat I suffered at the hands of your friend, I'll have to make you the scapegoat for your friend's punishment." Tyki smirked.
"Oh, that won't be happening. I'll kick your ass as easily as he did, and regroup with Road… I promised her that myself!" he ran at Tyki. Tyki quickly clashed his Tease blade against Kesenai's sword. Kesenai smirked as his sword was beginning to break through the Tease blade.
Tyki seemed surprised and quickly retreated, making the Tease blade disappear. He then released 3 more that had faces on them and created 4 regular ones, turning them into a more denser, stronger Tease blade. Tyki then ran at Kesenai, ready to kill him with one stab to the face, using his newer Tease blade. Without a problem, he ducked away from the stab attack and slammed his palm, hard against Tyki's stomach as if he were striking with a force palm technique, the dark purple and red glowing circle glowed even brighter as he tried to rush the process of the power on Tyki so he could try to end the fight quicker. No dice, the burning sensation that began to burn even worse in Kesenai forced him to fall back after only making the seal on Tyki grow to about half his body height. Tyki smirked and took the chance to slice down on him. Quickly, Kesenai dodge rolled and sweep kicked Tyki's right leg. Then, Kesenai stabbed Tyki's right arm, which was holding the Tease blade. The 3 Tease with faces were now close to Kesenai, and fired blasts of Dark Matter at him, sending him flying. Kesenai landed on the other side of the room, leaving a crater on the wall he crashed into. He coughed out blood as soon as he hit the wall. Then, he coughed up even more blood, since that was starting to become the sacrifice for using his Level Two. The Level Two was drawing on his life, and putting large amounts of stress on his body. His body was already a bit weak from fighting Lulubell, so taking on Tyki so immediately might not have been the best of ideas, but whatever, he chose to just keep fighting on anyway. He jumped off the wall and took out his stylus, quickly etching a hexagon on the dark purple and red glowing circle. Tyki made a stab movement to kill Kesenai, but Kesenai spun in midair, making the attack miss by about 3 centimeters. Kesenai landed on his left hand, then moved quickly so that his legs would sweep kick both of Tyki's legs, forcing Tyki to fall down again. Kesenai stabbed Tyki on his heart with his sword and slammed his palm hard against Tyki's stomach for a second time, hoping that this time it would work since adding the hexagon inside the circle would at least strengthen the effects of the attack. The mark that was on Tyki spread out more faster, now finishing him off completely. Tyki yelled in pain, now dying.
"Nice move… Kid…" Tyki said as he coughed blood.
Kesenai stood up "I hope your soul doesn't rest you bastard Noah…" he panted, now struggling to keep standing. He sheathed his sword and began to walk where Lavi had ran to, struggling to keep going. He fell to his knees and coughed major amounts of blood. "Damnit… I'm sorry Road… I can't… I think… This is… Where… I die…" he said, falling over, his body now laying on the ground as if he were dead. The room began to fully crumble, slowly being destroyed. A giant crack split open in the middle of the room, now that part collapsing, Kesenai falling in the pit now. "Farewell… Cruel world…" Kesenai thought as he fell in.
