the 5th of the 6-part battle, and the 37th chapter of my series...
I'm so close to finishing it that I might cry. just kidding.
AGAINST THE AVATAR (V)
“You, my young avatar,” said Clazdian in Yangchen’s form, “are about to meet someone with the tactics of a person who has met me before. Surely you remember these fighting styles from your past lives,”
“Indeed,” I replied,” “except you sacrifice some of their speed for more raw power. That was something distinct I noticed right off.”
“You are an observant one, he said, “but we need not bicker. We end it here, and we end it now.”
“You’re the one telling me,” I shrugged, and just as I suspected (because I knew Clazdian’s ways while watching him against Tera) he tried to pull a fast one on me. However, this time it was not another airbending battle. Rather, Yangchen-Clazdian was using a wide variety of powerful moves on me, and was aware of my surprise attacks. One thing I did notice was that he did not seem to have a counter move, and that would be something I would use to my advantage. Bombardments of water, fire, earth and air were coming towards me, and I was using everything in my power to avoid them hitting me. I was using counter moves, Sanki’s reflector, Toph’s dash attack, my mother’s water whips, Ty Lee’s blasting jump and various other moves, to keep myself out of harm’s way, and for a while, it was proving effective. Once again, I was retaining control of my actions, for my eyes were still glowing. The longer I held this off, the more anger I could sense growing in Clazdian. It seemed that he took this as me mocking him. I didn’t really care though, because he was pure evil. Anyone else, I probably would have shown concern for, as was my nature, but Clazdian was the exception.
“I’m gonna push your bending capabilities to the extreme,” he taunted,
“Thank you for the warning,” I smiled, “that will be useful to know.”
I was actually in all honesty telling the truth. The fight continued, and it seemed that this time around I was unable to gain the upper hand, like I had with the last 4 avatars. Was Yangchen really this good? I did notice that Yangchen seemed more erratic than the others. Was this some sort of subtle sign that Clazdian was losing it and that this could be the moment where I would finally be able to defeat him? I continued taking the defensive, trying to answer the questions about Yangchen-Clazdian that I still had. I drew my blades and kicked some melee combat into my game, which seemed rather effective against deflecting Clazdian’s attacks, but not too effective at trying to deal out damage. After a little more fighting, I suddenly noticed the look on Yangchen’s face. It was not the normal calm, relaxed face the real Yangchen possessed, rather, it was a manic expression that looked crazed and fixed on killing me. It was actually sort of creepy, especially considering that this was an airbender woman, and they were usually serene and gentle. I smiled, and this provoked him.
“You want a little fun, do you?” he said through her mouth (since he of course, was imitating her, as Yangchen was an avatar, and I was obviously the current incarnation) “let’s see how well you can handle this, Kai Serenes II”
Yangchen suddenly created an enormous tornado, which would have sucked me in if it were not for my earthbending skills. Luckily for Ty Lee, Katara, my mother, Toph, and even Tera and Sanaki’s bodies, there was some sort of invisible wall between Clazdian and I and the others. This was what prevented them, particularly Katara, from joining me in my battle against the supernatural lord. When the wall had first gone up, I had seen her furiously banging on it and screaming manically. Ty Lee had tried to comfort her, but her fury was not something to be messed with. Even now, as the tornado was approaching me and I was there trying to divert it with airbending of my own, I could hear her screaming about something.
It seemed that Clazdian became aware of this as well. He paused and laughed at her, and I could see the fury building in her reddening eyes, tears streaming down her bleeding cheeks. It seemed that she was seeing something in the tornado that I was not, so I zipped over there to get a better view, and when I did, I was horrified at what I was seeing as well. Yangchen had imitated a giant whirlwind Zuko.
“Don’t look at it, Katara,” Ty Lee pleaded, “he’s trying to do this to you.”
“and I’m going to take advantage of it,” I muttered to myself, and I suddenly let out a huge airbending cyclone that was going the opposite direction of Clazdian’s, and it blew it all away and knocked her form down. However, not to my surprise, she flipped back up and this time turned to face me, an enormous fireball in Yangchen’s hand. She swirled it around and I prepared attacks of my own. She formed an enormous flaming Sanaki face, and this affected not only me, but my mother and my other teachers as well. Surely we had all loved Zuko as well, but some of us, my mother included, had had an exceptionally close bond to Sanaki. I saw her menacing face towering above me, and I was ready for her. I formed an enormous fireball that ironically resembled him.
“Where have I seen this before,” I taunted, and our flaming combatants fought, mine taking the upper hand because of my still calm posture. Mine ended up picking up his and slamming it down upon Clazdian himself, and I dissipated it as soon as I could, not wanting to see any form of that foul being longer than I had to. However, Yangchen-Clazdian was not bout to give up, but I did sense her weakening. She this time formed an enormous earthen statue of none other than Tera. This time, I had to form one of Zuko. I realized that this had sort of been a bad decision, for I heard Katara’s relentless screaming of agony and anger once again. There was obviously something that had happened in her life that none of us knew about; either that or Clazdian had broken her down so much that she had lost sanity. I really hoped that that was not the case.
Standing at the shoulders of our stone fighters, we made them do battle, aiming for the parts where we were standing, but neither of us were able to wrestle the other down. Suddenly I decided to slip off of mine and grab onto his. I grabbed onto the stone Tera’s skirt and flipped up to where her belt was. I jammed my fist into the middle of it, and then flipped over to Tera’s right arm. He was aiming a punch at my stone Zuko, taunting “come out, come out, wherever you are, avatar,”
Suddenly, I bent the stone Tera’s arm so that her hand was in front of Clazdian, me standing on it.
“I don’t need to,” I said, “I’m right here.”
I bended my stone Zuko to tackle Clazdian’s stone Tera and we both drove each other to the ground, my earthbending nailing Clazdian before he could retaliate. We were again slammed to the ground, and I knew that Yangchen was going to pull one more trick. She had one more game she was going to play, and I knew that this one was the one I would never lose—waterbending. Yangchen summoned up a whirlpool, and this one was doing something to Ty Lee. I looked and saw that Clazdian had formed Azula. I decided to retaliate by forming Mai.
“This madness must end, Clazdian,” I said,
“And I suppose you’re the one that’s going to do something about it,” he leered, cutting me off before I could finish my sentence
“I am,” I said, and I formed a whirlpool Mai. This movement was as predictable as the airbending gig we had pulled, Clazdian must have overlooked it, because in a second I had overpowered him, and while he was down, I came at him.
“Perfect control, Clazdian,” I said, activating my power once again, “you are about to be the victim of it once again.”
Seconds later he was blasted away again, sent sprawling.
“So,” he said, “it comes down to this. I think what you need is an avatar that is just like yourself. You need to see just how you fight, Kai Serenes II. I am about to grant you that gift.”
Avatar Yangchen vanished, and in front of me was avatar Kai—myself.
“This is the moment,” I said, “it all comes down to this.”
I took my position, ready for this madness to end.
