CHAPTER 80: THE SERENES' CAPTOR
“You all don’t think differently of me now, do you?” Kimiko asked as they made their way to the next chamber;
“Not really,” Lehran replied, though he was the only one.
“Well,” said Royota, “perhaps only very slightly. It was more surprising to us than anything.”
“Ah,” Kimiko replied, “That was just my ‘dark side’, I guess, that I once told you all about. I’m sorry if I made anyone feel weird.”
“It’s understandable,” said Sokka, “especially if that was the man who tore your family apart. I might be a guy, but I know that it totally devastated my younger sister.”
“The Order has affected all of us in one way or another,” said Zakura, “and that’s why the best of the best are with me today, in an attempt to end it all. I really hope that the others are alright.”
“Even Orzon and Ayumi,” Aiku asked,
“Aye,” Zakura replied, “even them. If they gave up everything when they literally had their lives set and nothing to worry about, they deserve sympathy. Still, this tower is huge. Those three rooms and we’re still only on the bottom floor.”
“This place is huge,” Mulan replied, “the tower spirals upward. The next room will have the stairs leading upward. The 2nd floor has 4 rooms arranged in a similar pattern. It’s like that all the way up.”
“Then let’s go,” said Lehran, and they went into the next room.
They were in for a series of huge surprises, and this time, it was Lehran’s time to surprise The Avatar Guard.
A Zuroc Sensei had appeared out of nowhere and snatched up Altina. For a split second, the expression on Lehran’s face was one of shock and horror, but a split-second later; it turned into one of sheer rage. Fire was blazing through his eyes, and he looked ready to rip someone in half. Even his hair seemed to be standing on end as he glared fiercely the woman who was holding a knife to the throat of his screaming baby sister. Soon, more Zuroc Sensei and other warriors from the water Tribes, Earth Kingdom, and Fire Nation appeared.
“Surrender the avatar,” said the woman who had to be the leader, “or you get to watch the baby girl suffer at our hands. Surely you wouldn’t want that, now would you?”
She inched the knife onto Altina’s throat, just barely making it open the skin on her neck, so that a tiny trickle of blood came out.
“The longer you wait,” she leered, “the more she suffers—”
She did not have time to finish, as her body had been ripped apart. Lehran, fire blazing through his eyes, had literally bloodbended her apart. He yelled fiercely, and using water of his own he began attacking madly, skillfully, swiftly, and accurately, unleashing the true meaning of Serenes Fury upon his enemies.
The Avatar Guard was originally going to assist him, but with the way he was going, he did not need it. Little Altina, frightened from this mess, had been dropped, and was curled in a little trembling ball in the center of the field. Lehran though, was way too swift and far too powerful to let anyone come within a 6-foot radius of his baby sister without getting massacred. His fury had been unleashed.
Huge whips of water were flying from Lehran’s arms, and using his feet, he was making ice beneath him to increase his speed. Reinforcements came down the stairs, and this was when the rest of The Avatar Guard decided to kick in. Koara picked up the frightened Altina and she stayed out of most of the battle, as Koara knew the bond that Lehran had with Altina and knew that he would not be content unless she was completely alright.
Lehran seemed to be in combat with an older man now, who he seemed to recognize as the leader of the Serenes Raids; the attacks on the Serenes village that had left them empty of all but Lehran and Altina a while back. They had since been freed, but the atrocity of them all being captured and treated cruelly stuck in Lehran’s mind.
Unfortunately for Lehran, this man was tough, and knew a lot of tricks the Serenes waterbenders liked to use. He himself was a powerful waterbender, and so Lehran’s fluid-bending techniques would not work so easily on him. It was only the less powerful ones that it worked easily on. More powerful opponents took much more power, strength, and concentration.
“Ah,” said the man, “another Serenes; I thought I had captured you all.”
“But alas, Onaku,” Lehran hissed, using the man’s name, “there was one Serenes you missed; and he’s going to finish you off.”
“Time will tell this time, boy,” he leered, “time will tell.”
It was much like their previous situation, except instead of everyone just watching a 1-on-1 fight; it was taking place during another battle. However, like with Kimiko, Lehran’s fight was the focal point.
Lehran shot a barrage of ice spikes at Onaku, who deflected them and turned them into ice spears. Lehran melted these, using the water to glide up and around Onaku, also creating a series of powerful water bubbled which he bombarded Onaku with.
Onaku blocked these with small walls of water, which he immediately turned into ice shards, aimed at Lehran. Lehran spun around, kicking a wave of water up that absorbed Onaku’s attacks, and sent them back as a powerful blast of water—he didn’t even need to freeze it. Unfortunately, Onaku did it for him, freezing his barrage into an ice wall, which he used also to block Lehran’s next attacks, which were several ice spears. They shattered and Onaku threw them back as a powerful mist which hit Lehran. He spiraled through the air, blood running down his face. However, Lehran was unfazed. All it took to set him off was Onaku attempting to throw a cheap shot at Altina, and worse yet, for Koara’s defenses not to come up fast enough to completely block it. Part of the cutting water slashed Altina’s forehead right above her eyes, causing the baby girl to screech in pain.
If threatening Altina in front of Lehran had been bad enough, actually injuring the girl was likely to be considered the worst mistake to ever make. Anyone who laid a finger on his baby sister would face the full wrath of Lehran Serenes. The Serenes Waterbenders were notorious for their passive attitudes, being slow to anger, but being incredibly dangerous when actually driven to anger.
Fire flew through Lehran’s eyes. If it were actually possible, everyone was certain that Lehran’s eyes would be red right now, as he was seeing more red than was in the entire Fire Nation.
“Never,” he said in a dark, low voice, “ever, TOUCH my sister EVER again.” The next instant, he had sent a lightning-quick blast of water that surrounded Onaku. The next moment, he had dashed forward with a huge ice sword that he had created and began slashing madly at his trapped opponent. Blood was appearing of course, but Lehran was relentless, stopping about dealing out about 41 strokes. The final stroke was a powerful one that smashed Onaku against the wall, where his bleeding form lay motionless. He was clearly dead.
The rest of his minions were now at the mercy of The Avatar Guard. Lehran, wanting to ensure that his sister was alright, raced towards Koara. She had managed to stop the bleeding, but there was still a large cut running across Altina’s forehead.
“She will bear it all her life,” Koara replied grimly, “It will get wider as she grows, but will not bleed again. I am sorry, Lehran.”
However, now that the threat was gone, Lehran was back to his passive self again, and he took over watching Altina while Koara jumped up and joined the fight.
“It’s not your fault, Koara,” he said, as she stood up, “I’ll take her from here though if you catch my meaning.”
“Aye,” Koara replied, and she joined the fight, using her bloodbending prowess to help the rest of The Avatar Guard exterminate the few warriors who remained. Soon they had all been vanquished. It was here that Lehran got people asking about Altina. The tiny girl seemed shaken, but otherwise alright.
“It’s over,” said Lehran, “That man—Onaku over there, or rather, what’s left of him, is defeated. He and his treacherous gang of bandits will no longer terrorize our village.”
Kimiko smiled and put her arms around Lehran.
“Excellent job, Lehran,” Kimiko replied, “Now do you understand what I went through just before you?”
“I never doubted you, Kimi” Lehran replied, kissing Kimiko’s scar, “but aye, I understand what you mean about everyone having a dark side.”
“So,” said Zakura, “who all is in favor of resting up a bit before carrying on? I don’t want any of you to feel overworked. None of you deserve to die from this war, and so I will do everything in my power to prevent that from happening, is that understood?”
“Aye,” they all replied, and they all agreed to wait at the bas of the stairs for the time being so that they could rest and strategize. They all also conversed a lot with each other, particularly about all of the recent events that had occurred, and speculation about what else lay ahead. Kimiko had become popular among The Avatar Guard as a result of her defeat of Admiral Feng, “head” of the Tower Guard, and as of just recently, Lehran too had become popular, as a result of him defeating Onaku, the man who was also know as The Serenes’ Captor.
