Thinking About Her
When Toph and the Gaang was attacked by combustion man or sparky sparky boom man they all separated from each other. Toph was earthbending at combustion man and didn't notice that the Gaang was on Appa so they left her. Combustion man was too busy to notice Toph so she went underground. She traveled up into the tunnel that Aang was going through. She stopped dead in her tracks. There were Fire nation guards here, where they were. 'I told twinkle toes to be careful, that air head.' Toph thought that to herself.
Toph was being careful at traveling underground when she passed them. She passed them without much difficulty. After what seemed like five minutes Toph emerged from her underground tunnel that she made when she left their camp. She came close to a town so she decided to ask them if they saw Aang and the rest came there. But much to her displeasure there were sand everywhere she went. She finally reached it but there was no one there so she decided to look around. She crossed some people so she decided to ask them.
" Excuse me, but have you seen a group of kids here?" They looked at her then back at each other.
" Um, I'm not sure kid but there is a party not far from here. See if they're there if not then I don't know." With that they left. 'Pfft. How do they expect me to know where they are if I don't even know where it is. And to top it off can't they 'see' that I am blind.' Toph thought about that for a moment before running up to catch them.
" Sorry to bother you again but you never told me where it was and even if you did I wouldn't know where because I'm blind." The couple looked at her then realized what she just said.
" Oh sorry. It's dark so I couldn't tell that you were blind. Also you said that you're blind but who do you know who you are talking to and where you are walking and going?" Toph didn't take long to answer them because this was not definitely the first time she has been asked this question.
" I am an Earthbender so I sense vibrations from the ground but this is sand that we are standing on so it's pretty fuzzy here but I can still see kind of and since I was born blind I learned how to never forget someone's voice. Maybe even smell too." The couple stared at her awestruck then lead her to the party.
Zuko and the trio was going back to Chan's place to get their revenge on them. They walked up the stairs to Chan's place. Someone opened the door for them and they started attacking the place.
Toph heard a commotion as she was searching for the Gaang. The house was made out of wood so it was very hard for her and she was depending on her other senses now. She went to look and noticed their voices immediately. She quickly went into the kitchen, glad that they at least had metal in their home. She grabbed all the metal she could find and went out to face them.
She was in her metal armor when she came out. She started throwing chunks of metal at them. She caught Ty Lee to the wall when she was busy hopping on her arms. Azula and the rest now notice her rest of the party left except for the fighters. Zuko remembered her as the new member of the gaang. Azula smirked when she realized who it was under the armor.
" Well, well, well. What have we got here." Azula started to shoot fire at her. Toph head her and decided to respond.
" The greatest Earthbender in the world. That's what." Toph dodged another fire.
" What happened to your pathetic friends, hmm?" She started to aim at Toph's feet now. Toph noticed that and started to dodge and shoot metal at them at the same time.
" They are not pathetic. They have me, the world's greatest Earthbender, the Avatar who is the last Airbender, a Waterbender who knows how to bloodbend and Sokka, the planner guy with the boomerang that knocked out your brother. That doesn't make us pathetic like you though and they aren't here with me because they didn't want to see your ugly face. There, it's really that simple." Azula was mad now. Zuko was going to help but Mai stopped him.
" Stop Zuko. Let her have what she deserves." Zuko looked at Mai.
" I wasn't trying to stop Azula. She made fun of me so I was going to also teach her a lesson." Mai shook her head.
" Yes, I know but let Azula take her." With that Zuko stopped and went to help Ty Lee get out of the metal also with help of Mai.
" What makes you think that you are the greatest earthbender huh?" She was moving closer to Toph now.
" I am the greatest 'cause not all earthbenders can metalbend you idiot." Azula now had her cornered.
" Well, you are now cornered by me now what are you going to do." Toph noticed that and an idea struck her. She moved passed Azula and jumped out a window. Azula followed her. Zuko was going to go to but her sister stopped him.
" No Zuko. She's mine and I will take her." With determination on her face she followed after Toph leaving Zuko and Mai to deal with Ty Lee.
Zuko knows that Toph was travelling with the Avatar but he can't help but think that sometimes she steps up for them so much when she wasn't even there with them in the beginning when Zuko was still chasing the Avatar.
Azula stepped out from the window to go after Toph but she was nowhere to be found. 'Where did she go.' Azula was mad now.
" Where did you go, blind earthbender. Are you afraid of being beaten?" Azula was shifting around in the sand.
" No, but you are." Toph stepped out of her rock shield. She found it when she stepped out and concentrated on the ground. She threw a rock at Azula but she dodged it.
" So, you were just hiding there huh?" She threw a fist of fire at Toph but she quickly sunk into the sand leaving Azula to search for her again.
" See, you are scared and don't even tell me that you aren't because if you weren't then you would be out here fighting like you are supposed to." Azula was now just aiming anywhere. It was also dark outside so she lit her whole hand to help her see. Toph heard her from above her. She was right underneath Azula. She decided that now was the time to come out so she trapped Azula by the ankles. She rose from underground.
" No, I am not scared. Plus you think you are so smart but you are not so, here, let me tell you that I am an earthbender so I used whatever ground I am on to my advantage like how you people fly in the air and also, I am not just any earthbender. I am the greatest Earthbender in the world of all times." Azula shot her at her own feet to release her from the ground. When she was released she shot three huge fireballs at Toph but she dodged it just in time.
" Hmm… you can say all you want but you won't be happy when I tell you that I am the best Firebender in the whole world." She was going to throw fire at Toph again but some sand got in her eyes. She was screaming and fire was coming out of her mouth.
" What ever made you think that you were the best Earthbender in the world, hm? Because if anything I am the best and the greatest." She finally opened her eyes when she felt that it didn't hurt her to open them only to find dust everywhere.
" Well let me tell you this: the greatest earthbender in the whole world can bend earth, sand, metal. Those are the three things that I am best at so therefore I am the best." Azula was mad now. She created lightning and shot it at Toph who was busy try to make earth out of sand. It shot her by the side of the arm and she fell down crying as her arm was burning. The scene made Azula smirk.
" The greatest hm? Well, what happens when the greatest falls down." Toph fell unconscious and Azula picked her up by the waist and put her over her shoulder. She went back to the house only to find them amazed and stunned at what she brought back. She smirked.
" Pack up guys, because we are going back home with the grand prize, She may not be the Avatar but she's still worth the shot and effort." And with that they left back home to the Fire nation.
