well, you can go
Here...the 2nd post is the character archive.
if a character does not appear on that list, he or she has either not been approved or not been sorted out yet ('coz I'm lazy)
anyways, I'm obviously posting to give you all something to read, so here's round 28!
ROUND 28: KATARA VS. ZUKO
I was still a bit shaken after my experiences in the pervious round against my feral self. The changes that had been made to Fight Club were rather interesting though I did admit. Anyways, here I was, yet again, preparing myself to get ripped apart as I so commonly did. The fires around me told me I was fighting either one of the excessively violent characters (Sanaki) or a loser like Zhao or Ozai. I soon found out that both of my predictions were wrong.
“Katara is facing against Zuko again today,” Tera announced, “similar to their bout in round 2. However, since this is a new match, the results will likely be different. Katara might win again, she might not. Time will tell. The fight can begin!”
Tera had called the fight before I had even come out, but I needed no intro. The crowd saw a huge burst of fire shaped like me come smashing out onto the battlefield. It was part of a special move that was obtainable via a certain item, but such things were banned from Fight Club for the time being. Perhaps they would be legalized in Season III.
Anyways, the fight began, and fire and water clashed. I could tell that Katara had her usual anger, and again, just like in the beginning of “Mysteries”, I would use it to my advantage. I had seen her last fight against her feral self, and knew exactly what would set her off.
“What’s the matter, scared?” I taunted, and just as I expected, she unleashed raw fury on me. Just as I expected, it was more painful than expected. Katara’s water latched onto my chest and threw me into the air. She jumped up after her attack and grabbed me in a hugging position. This obviously freaked me out, for I thought Katara hated my guts. However, I soon learned why she did what she did. I was blasted with an icy wind and slammed back to the ground, with her landing gently in front of me. However, I wasn’t about to let her get away with that.
I stepped back from Zuko, but I had not stepped far back enough. Zuko had glided forward, his hand outstretched. It connected with my face, and I felt myself being lifted up—by my face. I felt a sudden burst of flame that cut my cheeks open, and then I was dropped to the ground in a similar burst of flame. Right after I had fallen, Zuko had jumped back, only to use the move again. I used a quick burst of water to form a shield around myself and it slashed at Zuko and gave me enough time to back up. Suddenly, Zuko grabbed me in a similar stance to the one I had done to him, but instead of ice, I was on the receiving end of lightning before being blasted back down to the ground. I countered this by shooting short bursts of water at him, which seemed to be doing their job of penetrating him quite well.
I crumpled, but only for a second. I launched a fiery kick towards Katara, knocking her off balance, and then faced the wrath of her mach-speed water whips. The entire front area of my chest had been shredded. Blood was everywhere. I staggered back for a second, and felt my fury building up. There was no way this peasant girl would beat me again. I suddenly used a very powerful two-part move. I jabbed her neck with my fingers, making me look like Ty Lee, but after that, I grabbed her with the same hand. With my other hand I pulled back for a punch, set it on fire, and let it fly.
Zuko’s punch connected with my gut, and I could hear my ribs shattering from the blow. I crumpled, and knew Zuko was about to “have some fun”. Sure enough, he did his flaming kick move, which knocked me into the air. His next technique though, was quite unusual, but very, very painful. He had jumped up, grabbed my by my head, flipped us both over, and slammed me down against the battlefield, sending out a shockwave of flames.
“Did Zuko do what I think he just did,” Tera exclaimed, “Ladies and gentlemen, yes, that was Zuko dive-bombing Katara and himself by grabbing Katara’s face. That does not look like a move that you’re supposed to survive from.”
And yet she did. Katara slowly got up, but I could tell from her now erratic movements that she had suffered brain damage. One of her arms was hanging at a weird angle, and with it she was playing with her hair. “Look, mommy,” she said, “its king Zuko...” she was acting like a demented child. I stepped forward to quickly put her out of her misery.
My deceptive plan had worked. I slowly absorbed water energy as he came near, but right before he lunched his finishing blow, I threw out one of my own. My blast of water encased Zuko. For a second I sent him straight up before sending him crashing down again. I could tell from the smashing sound I heard that not only was he bleeding really badly, but that the right side of his body was likely broken.
My right leg was near immobile, but I could still stand up. I sent out a huge wave of fire towards the ground that burned Katara’s feet, and she crumpled to her hands and knees—just where I wanted her. I repeated my motion, but something happened at the exact same time. I had burned Katara’s left hand and her knees rendering only her right arm of any use. However, she had frozen my legs as well, so now my left leg was useless too. She then condensed the ice, and I could feel myself losing a lot of blood from this. I looked around and saw the battleground bloodier than it had ever been. Sanaki vs. Katara had come pretty close, but we had broken a record of some sorts. Blood was ripping off the sides of the arena. Nonetheless, we had to finish each other off. I shot a fireball at Katara, but she reflected it back at me and I felt it blaze past my other eye. If it weren’t for Kai, I would have had another scar on my other eye. I had it at the moment, but now was not the time to worry about how badly I looked.
Zuko was failing. I could sense it—I could see it with what was left of my vision. However, something strange happened that I did not expect. Zuko had blasted me up with a long distance fire blast, and fired himself up with me. He then grabbed my head with his hand and I could feel the two if us plummeting. It was over. I landed with a crash and felt something in my head get crushed. I died on the spot.
That last effort of an attack had taken everything. I had won my first round of Fight Club, while nearly dying myself. I lost consciousness though, so what happened after that was unknown to either of us... The last thing I saw was Sanaki taking Katara’s body and Kai taking mine...
so, Zuko's revenge, perhaps?
