the title that Alzar and Sanaki take in their fight, and the title of the 27th installment of my series.
luckily for Meili, she is able to get Zuki safely home, and then it goes back to the awesome fight.
extended, explicit version coming soon.
CHAPTER 27: THE BLIND DRAGONS
Meili was able to feel (her way of watching) the next 3 matches. At the beginning of the 4th match from hers (thus making it the 180th match) she was actually beckoned by the man running the game to come and claim her prize from an array of many. Among these “prizes” were actual people, and among these people was Zuki, Meili’s mother. Naturally, Meili did not think twice before choosing her mother, where she stepped forward and Meili took her hand. Zuki, who was a very forgetful and often times clueless woman, thankfully did not recognize Meili, for her condition would have made her mother sick with worrying.
“Zuki,” said Meili once they were out of the public, “do you know where to find Cho Ling from here?”
Zuki stopped and looked slightly clueless,
“No,” she responded, “Zuki doesn’t know how”
Meili earthbended the two of them back up to the surface, which was in a deserted alleyway. Meili knew what places it was generally safe to surface at without getting caught by law enforcement and that was how she was able to manage.
“Does Zuki know how to get home from here?”
Zuki looked around.
“Aye,” Zuki replied, “Zuki knows how to get to Zuki’s house from here. Thank you so much for freeing me.”
“No problem,” Meili replied, shrugging and hoping Zuki wouldn’t recognize her yet, “now run along, Zuki, and don’t talk to strangers.”
Zuki might have been Meili’s mother, (and was 38 years old) but she was as innocent as little Altina Serenes. Granted, she knew how life was and how it worked and such, but she was gullible—she would believe anything a person told her. Nonetheless, Zuki was actually able to run home safely. She was still wearing the same beautiful, long-sleeved blue-green dress she always wore, the little green shoes on her feet making no noise against the streets, and her ankle-length dress billowing as she glided surprisingly gracefully away.
Zuki was, in reality, not only a very strong and powerful woman, but also was a powerful earthbender, and was very flexible, and incredibly beautiful. The feature about her that made her stand out was a huge red scar on the left side of her face, and yet for the most part, everyone considered her beautiful, as the scar had ended up turning various shades of brilliant red. It was because of her innocence, gullibility, beauty, and raw skill that she was often targeted, and that was why her family, namely her husband and eldest daughter (Meili).
Once Meili felt that Zuki was close enough to home (and out of her feeling range) she disappeared below the ground again. She was just in time to see (or rather, feel) the 182nd match commence. This one was a two-on-two match.
“For our 182nd match,” the announcer boomed, we have a metalbender-waterbender team called ‘The Cold Steel’ on one side, and a team of firebenders known as “The Blind Dragons” on the other.”
“The Cold Steel” was a burly waterbender and a thinner earthbender who was clad in metal armor. Alzar and Sanaki, who were “The Blind Dragons”, learned that the earthbender was also a metalbender, as he would bend the armor into all sorts of intricate weapons. The waterbender was swift and he seemed fonder of ice rather than water.
Once the fight began, things became hectic and fast-paced immediately. Huge bolts of ice came shooting towards the firebenders, and they immediately retaliated with blasts of fire. Alzar and Sanaki both noticed that their opponents seemed to be their own individual people, rather than fighting and using their teammate’s moves to their advantage, like Alzar and Sanaki did.
In the meantime, the metalbender seemed to be effectively endangering the two of them, using his huge metal weaponry to keep the two of them apart. They could not decide if they wanted to target the metalbender first or the waterbender, as the waterbender was shooting saves of ice at the ground and making the overall temperature of the area around them lower, which made it harder for both Alzar and Sanaki to “see”, as both women were blind (one by “her own stupid mistake”, the other born that way). Nonetheless, their opponents kept themselves warm, and so Alzar and Sanaki were able to pinpoint them.
It seemed that initially they were trying to eliminate Sanaki first, but Alzar would notice, get in their way, take a hit or two for Sanaki, and they’d divert to her, giving Sanaki an opening for an attack on them. Occasionally Alzar and Sanaki would switch roles, Sanaki taking the hit for Alzar, and Alzar attacking the others, so all in all, all four players were cut and bruised within a few minutes. By now there was ice all over the floor, but since both women were also barefoot, that was easy enough to detect without their heat-senses on full function.
The four of them continued fighting, the members of “The Cold Steel” mostly on the offensive, and Alzar and Sanaki mostly on the defensive. However, they also had speed on their side, so they were able to link together some rather powerful fire and lightning-based moves. Alzar would stall for a moment while Sanaki got her energy together and made a fireball; she’d kick it towards Alzar, who would proceed to jump kick it, while adding flames to it from her foot. This was especially overwhelming to the metalbender, as the heat from his armor was starting to get at him. The waterbender, noticing this, started taking the offensive with icy blows towards Alzar and Sanaki’s hands and feet that left it difficult for them to attack. However, their hands were still for the most part usable, and they still had one more trick.
“There’s a reason they call us “The Blind Dragons” they both said simultaneously, and suddenly, two huge streams of fire spewed from the mouths of Alzar and Sanaki, both aimed at the icy attacks. The heat was intense enough that the temperature became high enough as to no longer permit ice. However, these two, like The Blind Dragons, were not finished.
The metalbender created a sword, and the waterbender was using one hand to attack the firebenders, and his other hand was shooting projectiles at his partner’s sword while he swung it, thus launching them at the girls as well.
Surprisingly, though simple this concept sounded, it was battering Alzar and Sanaki, and they were starting to lose their focus because of damage to their hands and feet. However, the more they got hit, the more their fury was building—they were not about to lose, and they figured that since these two were not going to show mercy, that they would show nine.
Alzar suddenly pointed two of her fingers towards the waterbender, and shot a huge blast of lightning at him. The metalbender, knowing that his armor would reflect lightning, dove in the way, and it glanced off of his large chest-plate and went towards Sanaki.
Apparently they did not think Sanaki was a prodigy, for they did not expect her to be able to redirect the lightning back at the waterbender and destroy him—something that she actually did. The crowds actually gasped in surprise.
“And the little girl pulls off an AMAZING stunt that I didn’t think she had in her. That’s right, ladies and gentlemen, that little 17-year-old girl just redirected tat enormous lightning blast.”
The metalbender, realizing that his teammate was down and out, was now fighting desperately, losing all previous sense of planning his moves out. Alzar and Sanaki started circling him, cornering him, and the fact that they both had mischievous smirks on their bloody, half-concealed faces (being concealed by the distinct long bangs that ran into their face that all descendants of the legendary Fire Lady were famous for) could only mean one thing—he was doomed.
And indeed he was. Within seconds a barrage of fireballs from both women had bombarded the man, bringing him to his knees in defeat, and death.
The crowds, who always enjoyed a killing, were going wild. Alzar and Sanaki both couldn’t focus too well because of the damage on their hands and feet, but they were in a better condition than Meili. Sanaki pointed her out to Alzar, and took her hand, guiding her to where they could sit by their new earthbending friend, who looked much worse than they did. When she detected their presence, she turned to them and smirked. She was clearly just as pleased as they were.
“Nicely played,” she remarked, “that was an interesting team.”
“Your performance wasn’t too shabby either, Meili,” Sanaki replied, “and I’m glad to hear that your mother is Okie now.”
“Aye,” said Meili, “but hey, at least you two aren’t just a big bleeding mass like I am right now.”
“Are you okie,” Sanaki asked, “It feels like you should be dying,”
“Eh,” Meili shrugged, “I’m a Meisha; I come from a real tough family.”
“Ah,” said Alzar, “our family is a bit different, having different strengths and weaknesses as you know of course.”
“Indeed,” Meili replied, “and there’s nothing wrong with it. You two seem to make blind people look better than the rest of normal people.
“You don’t give us a bad name either, girl,” said Alzar,
“Oh, oh,” said Sanaki, “Iresu is about to fight,”
They all turned, Sanaki and Alzar’s hands open to feel the heat of the upcoming match, and Meili’s feet firmly on the ground, ready to feel each and every action. They were all excited right now, and both Alzar and Sanaki were even happier, having been able to band together and score a glorious win as The Blind Dragons.
