that's right... I had been talking about this one ages before it came out, and this scene was and ins incredible.
It's probably the crowning moment in the entire series, as I found it completely awesome.
And so, I proudly present the 79th installment in the "The Order of the Avatar Slayer" series--The Fury of Kimiko, a title that speaks for itself.
enjoy.
CHAPTER 79: THE FURY OF KIMIKO
Kimiko was the first one to enter the next chamber, where a grinning Feng was waiting. Seeing the young lady whose family he was responsible for killing only made him smirk again. He knew now that he would finish the job of destroying that family by taking this girl out. He was thinking that Kimiko was foolish to try and challenge him, for it had not been very long ago that he had defeated her and given her that scar, its bright red color almost matching the color of the young woman’s clothes. Feng smirked.
“Whatever happens out there,” Lehran whispered, “I love you, Kimiko. Determination is what you will need for victory here.”
He kissed her gently on the lips, and she returned it, but she decided not to keep Feng waiting. The longer that man was alive, the more she wanted to finish him. Removing her shoes and shirt, she stepped onto the arena, Feng following suit. After all, this was an Agni Kai; and fighting bare-chested [at least for men; women generally did too, but covered their upper chests of course] and barefooted was the way of the ‘game’.
“So,” said Feng, leering, with a powerful, albeit rather impressive, firebending display, “you’ve finally come back to meet your family again, have you?”
“No,” Kimiko replied, “I plan to let you meet them—and find out how they feel about what you did to them; and to me.”
“What ho,” Feng laughed, “you actually talk now. What other secrets do you hold, Lady Nagishima?”
“I have secrets that would make a clod-minded head like yours spin fast enough to come off,” Kimiko replied, “enough talking. I can sense your fear. Let’s get this over with.”
“Perhaps not,” Feng replied, taking a position, but Kimiko blasted a fireball past him that grazed his ear.
“I said, shut up and fight,” she snapped.
“So be it,” Feng replied, sending a fireball right past Kimiko’s arm. This was enough to signal the start of the duel, and so it commenced.
They both were amazing. Huge jets of flame came from both of them, and they both were almost flying. Feng’s attacks seemed to be more raw power, while Kimiko’s were more controlled, intricate, and seemed to show signs of more skill. After all, Kimiko had trained with the world’s greatest firebender, whilst Feng had not.
Feng, however, was keeping Kimiko on the defensive. He was mostly standing in one place blasting fireball after fireball at her as she sprinted around trying to avoid them. Kimiko darted to and fro to avoid them, rolling, flipping, dodging, spinning, and blocking to prevent being hit. Behind him, several Order warriors had stepped in to watch this fight as well and likely to prevent the others from progressing once this fight was over.
Iresu, Zeruda, Sokka, and Katara I all wondered how Tenoko and Katara II had gotten through this mess, but at the moment their attention was diverted back to Kimiko, who had just been blasted off her feet by a lightning bolt from Feng. She was lying on her back, her eyes barely open. This was an attack that Kimiko had learned the hard way from a certain Zhin Lyautey. It was part of the reason her family was captured in the first place.
Feng stepped forward, putting his foot on Kimiko’s stomach as he walked over her. It took everything in Kimiko’s power not to yell. She was thankful that he was barefoot though.
Feng looked down at Kimiko’s seemingly unconscious form.
“Speak, girl,” he muttered darkly, “you’re not dead.”
He put his other foot on her stomach, and unlike the first time, he pressed down hard instead of just walking over her. A few seconds later, Kimiko spoke.
“More... weight,” she said, laughing, and then her right arm made a swift cutting movement towards Feng’s chest, hitting him and knocking him slightly backwards. Kimiko immediately sprung up and pulled the Zhin tactic on Feng, knocking him off his feet. The Zhin tactic involved lying down and seeming defeated, and then suddenly springing back up and striking with a powerful force. This was what Kimiko did, but Feng, being a durable man, sprung back up sending flaming serpents towards Kimiko.
Kimiko’s reaction was something that Feng called “The Nagishima Dragon”. It was the same thing she had done in the Southern Water Tribe, and members of the Nagishima family were famous for them, Kimiko being no exception. The Dragon combated the serpents, both Feng and Kimiko putting large amounts of energy into their moves, hoping to overwhelm the other person.
Eventually the dragon and the serpents both were reduced to sparks, and the exchange of fireballs continued. Kimiko was skilled at defensive maneuverings, taught to her by some of The Avatar Guard’s firebenders who had coined some of the moves themselves. Large walls of flames came up from Kimiko’s bare feet, blocking, deflecting or absorbing the large burning fireballs that Feng blasted at her.
Feng’s firebending was fueled by his fury and arrogance, Kimiko’s by her concentration and determination. He jumped up and shook the ground, causing it to crack open with flames, but Kimiko used these to her advantage, making swift jabbing movement as she spiraled through the air, sending small fireballs at Feng which bombarded him. After being pelted with flames, Feng sent out a blast of fire with one hand and blast of lightning with the other. These surrounded Kimiko, and gave her about a second and a half to react.
Unfortunately, she wasn’t fast enough. She was blasted several feet backwards and landed face-down. Feng stepped up to her.
“This is where it ends,” Feng leered, “the little timid girl can join her pathetic family wherever they may be.”
“No,” Kimiko replied, pulling herself back onto her feet; the look on her face made her look entirely dangerous—nearly as bad as an angry Serenes; “this is where you get to meet the rest of my family,”
Feng was certainly not prepared for what happened next. In fact, no one, not even The Avatar Guard, was expecting it. Kimiko sent out a huge blast of lightning, and instead of letting it go, she dragged it out. To make a long story short, it looked like Kimiko was planning to torture Feng in this method until he died.
“Remember what I said about everyone having a dark side,” she shouted, mostly directing this at The Avatar Guard, “well this is my dark side—this is for you, mom; dad, Yasu, and anyone else killed at the foul hands of The Order of the Avatar Slayer!”
Needless to say, being trapped in a huge blast of lightning was enough to eventually make even the toughest man scream, and so soon Feng was yelling as well.”
“Come on; SCREAM,” Kimiko roared, “I want to hear you cry so I can glory in the moment—much like you did at my expense.”
Feng though was a strong man, and wasn’t about to bend to the will of this 18-year-old girl. He stood his ground, but there was no way out of Kimiko’s trap. He knew that she was not going to show mercy, because he had shown none to her. What goes around comes around.
“SHOW NO MERCY,” Kimiko bellowed triumphantly; everyone in the room was in a state of awe—no one, not even Lehran, had ever expected Kimiko’s dark side to be this malicious; “FOR YOU SHALL RECEIVE NONE!” she laughed manically, and brought her other hand forward, adding energy to the attack.
Eventually, Feng couldn’t take it anymore, and he literally screamed for mercy. To his surprise, and the surprise of everyone else, Kimiko actually stopped, grinning triumphantly.
“That’s a clever gambit, Feng,” she remarked, repeating his old, harsh words, “but you need to die slowly. I hope you enjoy the ride.”
Feng was in no condition to react, and so when Kimiko brought her merciless onslaught of lightning back down upon him, he was powerless to resist. A few minutes later, he was dead.
“Run,” she hissed at The Order’s Warriors, who had clearly not expected to see Admiral Feng taken down by an 18-year-old girl, “run away if you value your lives.”
Her fingers crackled with lightning, and she was grinning maliciously again. Kimiko’s ultimate prowess had been displayed, and she still had energy for more; “or perhaps, there is another taker that would like to avenge this idiot?”
She nudged Feng’s body with both her feet and crossed her arms. To no one’s surprise, no one wanted to challenge her. The Order warriors took off, most likely to tell whoever was ahead that these people meant business, and that was as true as the scar on Kimiko’s face.
Kimiko got her shirt and shoes back on and turned to the others.
“When you’re put in a situation like that, all you need is determination,” she remarked, “that man was the one who forced me to watch my family die. If that’s not justification, then I really don’t care about not having an excuse. Let’s go find the others before they’re killed.”
Everyone was still in such a state of shock that they actually let Kimiko lead them into the next chamber. Kimiko certainly still had that spark of her old self inside her, and something this time had gone off that had made it expand into a raging wildfire that burned through Kimiko’s body with enough power that it set her off.
Some of The Avatar Guard member actually thought that she had gone crazy, but despite these theories, she was perfectly alright. They had all just been able to witness the rare scene where she went all out. None of them had expected that that was the extent of The Fury of Kimiko.
