the 2nd of the 6-part final battle... also the 34th installment of my series...
waterbending battle... harder to do than the last one for some reason. oh well. here it is now.
AGAINST THE AVATAR (II)
Clazdian, now in the form of Kuruk, laughed. “You see my pattern now, don’t you?” he taunted, “perhaps one of your past lives—that airbender woman Yangchen, hinted you about this. No matter, for you can only hold out so long; you are only human.”
“So,” I said, “you think you stand a better chance against me because of my native element? I am sorry, but you are sorely mistaken.”
Water was my native element. I figured that this fight would likely be easier than the one against Roku, which was harder because fire was my opposite element, but of course, I was not about to get c0cky.
“In that case,” I said, “let the battle of the waterbending masters begin.”
The battle did begin, and it was rather incredible. It seemed this time that Kuruk was watching my moves (after, of course, he launched the first one) and imitating them. I remembered Yangchen’s words. “He never fights the same way twice”. This must have been what she was talking about. Kuruk was also a slow and powerful bender. Of course, the fact that my eyes and tattoo were still glowing had him on edge, for Clazdian was slightly angry, and this was Clazdian, not Kuruk.
Kuruk began punching the air, launching water jets at me. I would have used my fire reflector, which indeed could reflect water and anything else, but I knew what he wanted, and I was willing to play his game. I was going to prove to him that today would be the day of his downfall, where he, Clazdian, the Lord of the Supernaturals, would be defeated at his own game by a 19-year-old avatar. It seemed that Ty Lee was thinking the same thing. I was glad she was there, just for her funny remarks.
“This should be funny,” she laughed, “an ancient immortal king of an immortal race being whipped by a 19-year-old avatar. Keep fighting, Clazdian, and don’t give up your day job!”
Clazdian was stirred by this, and tried to launch a huge water-based attack at Ty Lee, but I dove in the way to prevent it. Now, I did not take the hit. I simply dove in the way and made it into an enormous water bubble. This was one of my mother’s 4 Moves.
“You’re supposed to be attacking me, Clazdian,” I said calmly, my eyes still glowing, and he smiled, though I was about to attack him by smashing the bubble, “you leave the others out of this.”
“Oh,” he said, “but that would be too friendly,”
“And so would this,” I replied, and smashed the bubble around before it broke. Kuruk got up and grinned.
“Not bad,” he said, “let’s see how you can take a dose of your own water medicine now.”
Kuruk suddenly began spinning around, launching daggers of ice at me. I swiftly broke or melted every single one of them except for one which impaled me in the chest. Again, I used my healing abilities on myself, and used my twin water whips spun around at high speeds to defend myself. They ended up reflecting attacks as well, but Kuruk was dodging out of the way. Considering how slow most of his attacks were, he was pretty fast at actual movement. I saw his fist reel back from a distance, and he suddenly punched a huge ice bird in my direction. I flipped over it, and, while in the air, swung out a large mass of water, which stuck to Kuruk and pulled him upwards and me towards him. I was right up against him, and here I shot an icy wind at him and blasted ourselves apart. Kuruk retaliated by freezing my feet, but I broke them out as well. This had not harmed me, and so I continued fighting back, my feet doing just as much of the attacking as my hands.
“You’re a clever child, avatar,” Clazdian leered, “but how good are your reflexes?”
“That depends,” I said calmly, darting around, still avoiding his attacks, “are you trying to provoke me to use my avatar state powers? I mean, you already have me in the avatar state.”
“By all means you should be provoked,” said Clazdian, “I killed the woman you were trying so hard to save—and your firebending teacher as well. Who will be the next ruler of the Fire Nation?”
Clazdian’s words almost hit me, but I knew that he was trying to provoke me. I suddenly pulled out my whips to deflect an attack, I countered another one of his attacks, and then he struck. I was suddenly surrounded by huge ice columns. Suddenly a relevant memory of my mother teaching me waterbending came into view, where I saw her executing her 4th move on the ice columns. I figured if I knocked them down, I might be able to hit him with one or more of them. I began spinning around, crating a vortex. I was glad that she and Ty Lee had taught me how to withstand dizziness, for I had to spin around fast to retain speed and power. I knocked Kuruk off balance and crushed him with an ice column. However, he got right back up.
“Impressive act, Kai Serenes II,” he said, “but you will need more than that if you want to defeat me.”
Like Roku-Clazdian had done with fire, Kuruk-Clazdian was shooting around the battlefield launching blasts of water towards me, many of which I either countered or deflected. He slid towards me on a wave of water, and it was here that I decided to take serious action. I began bending an enormous mass of water above my head, and I watched as he stopped and did the same. It seemed that we made giant sea monsters out of the water and had them charge.
“Hmm,” I thought to myself, “this is very similar to his Roku form of battling. He must be planning something different.”
I almost learned the hard way that he was. As he charged towards me, he froze his sea monster and shattered it into millions of tiny shards which peppered my arms. I was again quick to heal myself, but kept myself protected using my legs and feet. It seemed that I was a better fighter than Clazdian was, for I was beating him at his own game.
“Hmm,” he said calmly, “still not willing to try that avatar state yet, eh? Perhaps something a little more deadly will have to suffice.”
Kuruk-Clazdian began moving his arms in intricate formations, and I realized that he was trying to bloodbend me, so I resisted. I knew that if he got a full hold on me that the results would be devastating. I knew what he wanted and so I had to give in. I unleashed some of my power, but only enough to break free.
“I don’t give in that easily, Clazdian,” I said smirking, “you should know about the stubborn nature of the Serenes Family before you make assumptions about them.”
“Clever,” he said, “and perhaps you should learn a little more about the Lord of the Supernaturals before you come and battle him.”
“Oh,” I said, “I know all that I need to know about you. Yangchen revealed your entire fighting style to me.”
“Ah,” he said, both of us still locked in combat of course, “then perhaps you will be aware that I was the one who killed your firebending teacher, and one of your best friends then?”
“Aye,” I replied, “and I plan to make you repay that with your own foul life. In fact, I’ll do it with a little gift that you yourself requested, Clazdian. Here is that avatar state power you wanted that I promised.”
I suddenly shot towards him, encasing him in ice and water, and began thrashing madly. However, despite my frantic attacking speed, I remained cool and calm, and retained that perfect control. I was using a move very similar to the one Katara had used a few months ago on Clazdian, but mine was much more powerful and had my little touch added. I mean, I was the avatar going berserk in the avatar state. There was logic behind why mine was more powerful. I blasted him out of it once I was done and sent him sprawling.
“Impressive,” he said, “but now let’s see how well you can handle an avatar closer to your own age...”
Avatar Kuruk vanished, and in front of me now was Avatar Aang.
“So it continues,” I said again, and we both assumed positions.
