"The Agni Kai" was too short, so I lengthened it.
the uberly-wicked 21st part of my epic series!
I said it would be good, and I personally think the fight scene (which takes up about 2/3 of the story) was awesome.
anyways, here you go.
THE FIRE LADY'S AGNI KAI
The entire fight was incredible from my point of view—I had perfect glimpses of the Agni Kai fight between Zhao and the Fire Lady. There was an announcer and everything.
“Ladies and gentlemen,” he shouted, “today Zhao and Sanaki are going to fight to the death. They are settling all differences here and now. Should Zhao win, he will take the throne. Should the Fire Lady win, she will simply gain even more bragging rights. Personally, I don’t think Zhao stands a chance...”
“Quiet you,” Zhao snapped, punching his palm, and turning to Sanaki, “any last words, lady of fire?”
“Yeah,” Sanaki snapped back, “let’s see how long you can go on fighting a blind girl before you call for help.”
Zhao did not have a response for this, and the fight started. Zhao fought just like his father—with huge, slow, yet powerful attacks that swift little Sanaki was able to dodge with ease. Sanaki had always been a defensive fighter anyways, and because of how much she had grown, she was able to take more damage before dropping. Nonetheless, she was not being hit. Her movements though, were what were really interesting about her.
She moved like an acrobat, throwing attacks from her hands, then landing on her hands and kicking some attacks while walking on her hands. After some of this, she would flip up and repeat this process, moving seamlessly from standing on her hands to her feet to her hands again, with the grace of a Fire Lady. Graceful, beautiful flames of various shades of read and blue were emitting from her hands and feet, and these flames attacked Zhao in a similar fashion. Everyone could tell that Zhao was being overwhelmed.
However, Zhao was not about to give up. He had the same megalomaniac attitude that his father had had, and I, along with everyone else, could see that he was bent on killing Sanaki. He launched a huge fireball at Sanaki for about the 15th time, but this time was different. This time, it connected with Sanaki, blasting her off her feet.
No one thought that the small, thin Fire Lady would be able to endure such a blow, but she did. In fact, not only did she take the blast, but as she was spiraling through the air, she flipped sideways and landed on her feet. She redirected what energy there was left over from Zhao’s attack, converted it into lightning and knocked Zhao down.
This was when things got a little strange. Zhao ended up calling in reinforcements, so now it was 7 on 1. However, Sanaki just laughed.
“I knew you’d need backup,” she cackled, “I mean, come on, Zhao. I thought you knew better. If you want to be the Fire Lord, you’re gonna actually have to have some abilities.” She laughed.
“Get her,” Zhao shouted, and his minions came after her.
“Hold it,” said Sanaki, and she stomped her feet, sending a huge wave of lightning close to the ground that paralyzed them for a second,
“You do realize,” Sanaki continued, “that by attacking me you have the chance of being killed, right?”
I watched them all nod, but Sanaki was expecting an answer.
“Hey,” she said, “I’m blind. Give me a “yes” or “no” answer.”
“Lady,” said one of them, “if anyone’s gonna die here, it’s gonna be you.”
“Fine then,” said Sanaki, and suddenly, a huge thin bolt of fire shot out from Sanaki’s right hand and she nailed the man in the chest, killing him. He dropped, and Sanaki grinned. “I’ll take it you all understand then.”
“We do, Lady of Fire,” they replied, “bring it on.”
“With pleasure,” Sanaki replied,
These benders were much faster than Zhao, but nowhere near as fast as Sanaki. Sanaki was able to overwhelm them one at a time, while defending herself pretty well at the same time. One thing the enemy benders noticed was that the easiest way to attack Sanaki was with small swipes that would cut her. These were working pretty well for them, and it did not take long for Sanaki to receive several cuts, some large, and she was bleeding excessively.
“Can’t take the heat, Fire Lady?” they taunted,
“the fact that you’re assaulting the woman who has been trying her best to run this nation is enough heat in and of itself,” Sanaki replied, “but you’re not gonna have time to remember that, because you’ll be dead right about... now”
Sanaki suddenly spun around, unleashing huge waves of fire that exterminated 4 of the 5 benders (Zhao was the 6th, and Sanaki had already killed the 7th beforehand). The last one stood behind her, about to attack. However, Sanaki spun around and spewed a huge stream of fire from her mouth which overtook him, killing him.
“It’s just you and me, Zhao,” Sanaki said, “come on, you can take me—7 big men against a little blind lady; you can try it.”
Zhao and Sanaki fought for a long time, Zhao taking it easy as to avoid Sanaki’s attacks. I knew what he was planning on doing, and Toph seemed aware of it too.
“Sanaki,” she shouted, “he’s trying to wear you out!”
“Shut up, you!” Zhao shouted,
“Hey!” Toph snapped back, “I’m the queen of the earth kingdom. I’ll do what I want here unless the Fire Lady says otherwise! She’s the one that can do whatever she wants!”
Suddenly, everyone gasped. Toph’s words seemed to have motivated Sanaki, and she had launched an attack that knocked Zhao down. She quickly pinned him and prepared for the final blow.
“I’ll listen to the earth queen,” she said, “and I’ll do what I want. Farewell, Zhao,”
Sanaki’s next attack was a swift move that was indeed fatal. Zhao was motionless and Sanaki began limping away. Crowds surrounded her but she held her arms out to signal them not to touch her.
“I just need to be alone, okay?” she snapped, and she ran off, still limping. “She’ll be east to follow,” Ty Lee noted, “look, she left a trail of blood that leads all the way back to the palace.”
“Poor thing,” my mother exclaimed, “I need to speak to her.”
“Eh, she’ll be alright,” said Toph, putting her hand on my mother Kai’s shoulder, “Sanaki’s a tough kid. During our late teens and early 20s we’d get into fights all the time. She’s got guts that one does.”
My mother smiled, “thank you, Toph,” she said, “you remind me a little of Sanaki,”
“How so,” Toph asked, “is it ‘coz we’re both blind and both rule one of the four kingdoms?”
“Well,” my mother replied, “That, and just the rough-and-tough nature of both of you; and you’re a good friend.”
Toph shrugged, “thanks,” she said, “now let’s find Sanaki. I need to have a word with her as well.”
“Okay,” I replied, and we followed the trail of blood all the way to the Fire Nation Palace. We were let in because of Toph and my mother, because my mother was world-renowned, and had served the Fire Nation—as well as the other nations, many times, and because Toph was the Earth Queen.
“Just be warned,” said the guards, “she seems a little tired, and she was bleeding all over the place. Perhaps you should wait for a while before you try to go in and see her.”
“Will she be alright?” I asked,
“Yeah,” the guard replied calmly, “this happens to her all the time. She’s a tough woman, that Fire Lady is... and she’s the best ruler this nation has ever had. Mark my words.”
“I’ll second that,” said Ty Lee, “but Iroh was great too,”
“Indeed he was,” the guard replied, “anyways, welcome to the palace and enjoy your stay. You can obviously tell that the Fire Lady is normally quite easy-going, but heed my warning for this time.”
“Okay,” Ty Lee replied, and the four of us went in.
It was very elaborate, and the great maze that had been created by the Dai Li on the old Fire Lord’s request was gone. Everything was back to normal here, and with Sanaki in charge, there were lots of fires all around us.
“That’s Sanaki for us,” my mother chuckled, and Toph laughed,
“Well,” she said, “I think this is where you request to see her... this door feels grand, and I think it leads to the throne room.”
We looked up at the door. On it was a large icon of the Fire Nation.
“Without a doubt,” I commented, and pushed it open.
