THE BENDING TOURNAMENT
Based on the series Avatar: The Last Airbender
CHAPTER 1:The Fliers Are Out
The firenation was finally kicked out of the earthnation's bigest city, Omashu! King Bumi, the king of Omashu, is celebrating by holding a bending tournament that only benders can enter. Now everyone is getting ready for this tournament of a lifetime. But while most are so excited about it some are mad that they are holding it.
Aang is the Avatar, which is destined to save the Earth. Only the Avatar can master all four elements earth, fire, water, and air. Katara is a waterbender. Toph is a blind earthbender that can sense were things are by being on solid ground. Sokka is Katara's older brother but he has no bending abilities. Bending is the ability to use the four elements as power to control things around you. Gathered together at Ba Sing Se are Aang, Katara, Toph, and Sokka reading a scroll of the tournament.
"I can't believe that a tournament is actually going to be held in Omashu!" exclaimed Aang.
"Yeah, I can't either. I guess it's because they kicked out the firenation," explained Katara.
"I'm going to enter for sure! There should be enough solid ground around for me to be able to see," said Toph.
"I don't care about this bending tournament! It should be a regular fighting tournament so anyone could enter. Bending is just a way to show off!" complained Sokka.
"I can't believe you actually said that, you are the one who is always trying to show off, expecially to that Ty Lee girl", Aang said in a giggle.
"Hey what do you mean showing off to Ty Lee, I don't even like her!" Sokka said in an annoyed voice.
"But I think she likes you!" Katara laughed out loud.
"Whoa! It says here that the prize money is 1,000 gold peices!" Toph yelled
out.
"But I thought you were blind and couldn't read?" Sokka said confused.
"She's right that is the prize money, did you just guess that?" Aang wondered.
"Ya I did!" Toph laughed out.
Meanwhile Zuko and Iroh are talking about the tournament at a city they were resting at. Zuko is a fire bender and the fire lord's son. Iroh is also a firebender and is the fire lord's brother. Both of them are in the royal family but were dishonored. So Zuko wants to capture Aang and bring him to his father to get back honor.
"So they are holding a bending tornament" , said Iroh.
"They are?" Zuko asked.
"Ya it says that the prize will be 1,000 gold pieces!" answered Iroh excitedly.
"I'm entering", Zuko said swiftly.
"So you want the prize money?" asked Iroh in a laugh.
"No I want Aang, he'll be there for sure, so I'll enter to finally capture him!"Zuko yelled in an evil kind of laugh.
Iroh stared at him.
"Okay okay I do kinda want the prize money", Zuko admitted.
Iroh laughed.
Inside their tank train Azula, Ty Lee, and Mai were told about the tournament and now are talking about it. Azula is Zuko's younger sister and also a firebender. Ty Lee and Mai are Azula's bestfriends, but they can't bend.
"Yes, yes, yes, they're holding a bending tournament, finally I can catch those two fools and maybe the Avatar", Azula said evily.
"Why should Mai and I care, we can't bend?" Ty Lee said in a mad voice
"Yah! Azula what are supposed to do cheer you on?!" Mai said in anger.
"Yah, I guess so, but most likely that guy you think is cute will be there Ty Lee", Azula said.
"Okay I'll go if my dear Sokka is going to be there", Ty Lee said in joy.
"I'm not going because there is no reason for me to go", says Mai.
"Okay then we'll leave you here all by yourself unless you want to cheer me on", Azula laughed.
"Fine I'll go but I won't be happy about it",Mai said in a grumpy voice.
So all these groups and many more from all around come to Omashu for the tournament. Many will battle but only one can win. Who will win the glory and the gold?
