I'm on the 30th chapter of my series, and I still lack good title-making skills. Oh well...
I can see the ending oh so clearly, and I will forewarn everyone here that there is some pretty darn cool Mai ownage.
Oh, and you also get confirmations of four characters that survive.
THE NINJA AND THE AVATAR
We continued to wander through Clazdian’s domain. There was nothing in site, but the flow of black, red, purple, and other darkness was swirling around us. We all were a bit insecure about what we were stepping on, as it looked like we were just standing on thin air. Nonetheless, we continued to walk calmly, as if there was no danger below us.
“Keep your guard up,” my mother warned, “this looks like a set up. It’s too deserted.”
“Kai,” said Toph, “you’re talking to the 4 most powerful benders in the world, and the avatar. We can take whoever this guy is, and anyone else he sends after us.”
Toph’s words were about to be tested. We suddenly found ourselves surrounded by hundreds, if not thousands, of Clazdian’s minions.
“Get in a circle,” I said, “I have a plan.”
The four of them closed me in. this had not been intended, but I suddenly had an idea. They were aiming their attacks straight forward leaving 4 openings at the diagonals. Thinking quickly, I began to use all four elements at the four diagonals, closing us in with elemental powers. As I did this, a vision of myself as Avatar Roku doing this by a beach came to my mind. Anyways, our attacks wiped out many of the front ranks, and then we split, fighting relentlessly. We were taking a lot of them out, since they were really weak, but then we suddenly realized what the intent of this trap was. This was likely made just to weaken us so if we did reach Clazdian we would have wasted all our energy.
“We need to make an escape,” I shouted, “This is obviously a setup to try and weaken us.”
“Aye,” said Sanaki, “we were just thinking the same thing.”
However, there did not seem to be an opening, so we did what any other smart people would do, and we continued fighting. It took a while before anything happened, and when it did, we were rather surprised. An old man, a Kyoshi warrior, Sokka, and a ninja had appeared.
“Iroh,” Toph exclaimed as she used her earthbending dash attack, “what are you doing here?”
“We have come to help,” Iroh replied, “after all, my nephew’s wife is here, and so is that supernatural. And now you all are too.”
Iroh was a big help. We recognized the Kyoshi warrior as Zuki, and she was laughing this entire time. She obviously had no clue where she was (knowing her, she probably had no clue WHO she was, but that was Zuki, and I still loved her like everyone else)
“Hey Toph,” said Sokka, “how are you holding up,”
“I’m fine and dandy,” said Toph, “and you,”
“I just got here,” said Sokka, cutting down Clazdian’s minions, “how’s your buddy Sanaki doing?”
“I’m good,” said Sanaki, blasting herself through the ranks of Clazdian’s armies, “It’s nice to hear your voice again, Sokka. It’s been a while since we last met.”
I knew that Sanaki was avoiding the word “see” because of her blindness, and Sokka knew what Sanaki meant.
“Everyone step back,” said Iroh, “and now we let our other friend finish the job,”
We all did so, knowing that Iroh probably knew best, save for perhaps my mother (according to what Iroh once said, but of course, my mother, being who she was, did not hesitate to follow Iroh’s instructions.)
All of a sudden, the ninja revealed his head, and we saw that it was a girl. Ty Lee gasped.
“Mai,” she exclaimed, “is that you?”
Mai said nothing. She merely glanced at us and nodded. She then began darting around at rapid speeds; knives, daggers, throwing stars and other small concealable weapons flying everywhere. It seemed that as swiftly as she was throwing them out, she was sliding back around and collecting them. She was deadly accurate, able to hit her enemies in the exact same place every time.
“Can’t we help her?” I asked; Mai may not have needed help, but we all felt sort of useless just standing there.”
“Actually,” whispered Iroh, “you five run. Zuki, Sokka, Mai and I will keep these folks occupied while you escape.”
“Will you be okay though?” Sanaki asked; Sanaki had a deep bond with Iroh, this being the man who had helped her with issues of becoming and being a good Fire Lady. By this time, Momo had jumped off of Sanaki’s head and was now on Zuki’s head, but Zuki did not mind.
“I will be fine, Sanaki, “said Iroh, “you must go with Avatar Kai Serenes II. She could use your help.”
“You’ll all come back with my sister,” Sokka reassured them, preparing to resume the fight, “and that supernatural. I’m fully confident in you all.”
“Thanks, Sokka,” said Toph, and she and Sokka exchanged a light husband-and-wife kiss before Toph went one way and Sokka went the other.
“So,” laughed Zuki, as we continued on our journey, “can Zuki go back into the fight now?”
“Have patience, Zuki Meisha,” said Iroh, putting his hand on Zuki’s shoulder, “let us watch Mai for a few moments like she wanted us to.”
I may not have been there, but I later learned that Mai had been incredible. She had killed over ¾ of the armies by herself, and out of all of us, she had been the only one not to take a hit. Iroh, Sokka, and Zuki watched as Mai shot around, hitting her targets with deadly accuracy, and dodging their attacks with speed and skill. They heard her muttering to herself about something, but they could not tell what.
“Sure Zuko might have betrayed me,” she was muttering, “but I knew we were still friends. Zuko, I’m doing this for your wife. I know you two were happy, and such love should not be torn apart.” Mai was often times doing flips for sliding upside-down towards her enemies, seemingly face-planting and then launching projectiles with both her hands and feet. This was probably the reason that she was barefoot. Mai was just as accurate at throwing knives with her feet as she was with her hands. How she was able to slip knives in between her toes and launch them, no one will probably ever know, but nonetheless, there she was, doing just that. It seemed that all of Clazdian’s minions were focused on killing her, but no matter how accurate they seemed to be, Mai seemed to be a split-second ahead of them, dodging even the attacked aimed at her back with precision and speed.
“Can Zuki join the fighting now,” Zuki asked Iroh,
“Have a little more patience, Zuki,” said Iroh, “Mai wanted to do as much of this as she could by herself, so let us grant her that wish as much as we can.”
This might have explained also why Sokka was not talking. He was simply staring at Mai.
“You know,” he said, “this reminds me of the old times when Mai, Ty Lee, and Azula used to try and kill us,” he chuckled at this.
“Times surely do change,” said Iroh, “I mean, Tera even changed. After meeting her for the first time, I never thought that someone that cruel and heartless could have such a soft heart and sweet mind.”
Suddenly, Mai made a sign that said she was willing to let the others join her in fighting.
“Does that mean Zuki can help her friend Mai?” Zuki asked,
“Indeed it does,” Iroh replied, “let us continue to help her, and let us hope that it helps Katara, Tera, and the avatar.”
Iroh and Sokka joined in the fighting, picking off anyone who tried to attack Zuki. Zuki may have been a strong fighter, but she was not very intelligent and not too alert either, so she had to be watched over closely. Luckily, Iroh and Sokka did not seem to mind. It seemed that all four of them (well, maybe not Zuki because Zuki seldom ever thinks) had their minds set with one objective: destroy as many of these enemies as they can in order to help the avatar.
Incidentally, they were able to wipe out every last one of the foul minions. Incidentally, when these creatures died, they just seemed to disintegrate rather than lay there dead. Therefore, once they had all been exterminated, the place was again deserted.
“What do we do now,” Mai grunted, talking to Iroh,
“We continue searching the area for more of Clazdian’s minions;” Iroh replied kindly, “anything we can do against Clazdian will help the avatar in the long run.”
The four of them took off, this objective now in mind. They would all wind up perfectly okay. Our case, however, was a little different...
