Round 3:

Keith dodged the expelliarmus easily, springing to his feet and re-assessing the situation. James was...somewhere. He was here. So now what? He spotted a shadow and took off running towards it, bringing his wand to bear. "Percifucs Totalus!"

((Sorry about the wait and the brevity of the post. Exams. You know the deal.))

Percificus Totalus- Full body bind

Keith Nicholas may have been small, but his feet were far too loud. It helped that it was a quiet room, and the only other sound James could hear was his own breath. The boy's footsteps instantly revealed his position, and it appeared as if the boy was charging towards him. James knew a desperate ploy when he saw one. He deftly jumped to the side to see if the boy's vision had truly cleared properly. To further test him, James cast Expelliarmus at the moving figure. He just barely noticed the spell that had sailed past him. The boy had seen him. That much James could ascertain. That provided little aid in the dust-filled room, but James would have to make do.

______________

Expelliarmus Disarms.

The expelliarmus hit Keith's hand and sent his wand flying.

"Son f a-" He shouted, grabbing his wrist where the spell had connected. "Ow! That stings!"

He realized, after a moment, that he no longer had a weapon. "Oh God! Oh God! Get yourself together Keith!" He dropped to the ground and began scrambling towards his wad, where it had skidded to a halt near the edge of the arena. He dove out of the way of a bright flash of light and rolled, his shoulder jarring painfully against the floor. He was halfway convinced one of his fingers were broke, but he ignored it.

He grabbed his wand and brought it to bear against James. This was bad. It was time to pull out his trump card. "It's DJ Keith! Bringing the ************ battle chaos up to 11!" His wand drew complex patterns in the air as he gathered his will and sent it out into the air around him. "Mico! Clamo!"

The air around him burst into multicolored lights not unlike those you would see at a rave, but a dozen times more intense. Keith's eyes snapped shut and they still burned, and he clapped his hand in front of his eyes to shield them from the glare. Keith couldn't hear it but he knew that a huge BOOM! had just encompassed the room.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mico- Creates flashing, multicolored lights. Affects both James and Keith
Clamo- Creates a loud boom of sound. Only affects James.

James squinted his eyes, and gritted his teeth as he was slammed by a wall of sound. He could recognize the dancing lights. The boy was trying to make it look like a club on Saturday. James did not exactly recall how he knew that, but in short, he knew. He also knew that this was a foolish endeavor. James had won by default, as his opponent had been disarmed.

"Keith, stop. You've lost," James shouted, though he had a feeling that his voice would be lost in the noise. He did not stop when he was disarmed. James still shifted about, however. He could block out the sound to a limited degree, and that was enough to allow James a modicum of movement. He jumped back in the smog, trying his best to keep on eye on the brat.

What? Where's that stated?

I'll delete this post once I get an answer.
