The Tournament of the Nations.

Sneaking around in secretly. There were Hundreds of them. One in every city. Not one discovered, until that day the day of the announcement. Every single on went to the middle of the village they were in in their black cloaks, and the hood covering their face. No one knew what was going on. They all didn't care for them much since the war was just be vectored by the Earth Kingdom. All the men in the cloaks started to announce the announcement all at the same time. "Since the Fire Nation and the Earth Kingdom is at piece. The Fire Nation wants to still fight." They all said simultaneously. "For a new war won't start they are announcing that a tournament is going to be held at Ba Sing Se, the capital of the Earth kingdom. The tournament is going to start in 3 months for you have time to decide, get the Ba Sing Se, and for we can prepare. It doesn't matter what nation you are from. It doesn't matter if you can bind or you use hand-to-hand combat. You my also join if your male of female. If you do come we will randomly select your opponents so if you are picked to fight you comrade you my give up and live in shame, or fight and even if you lose you will still have your dignity. So if you're not ready to kill anyone, even your father or brother, don't bother to come." Everyone started to look around with astonishment. "You my give up when ever you want in the tournament. We will also stop the match if we see that the opponent can't continue. The Fire Nation is not going to be judging, there will be a representative from every nation, they most likely will be the kings of the nation. This will prevent favoring and one can quit the match even if the others seem it is unreasonable. This is set into place because if there is a fire nation fighter in the rink and a earth nation and the fire nation is winning, the fire nation might not stop the match because they want the earth nation fighter to die. It is, the other way around. The winner of the tournament will have the title of the best fighter in the world, and 100,000 coins of what over type of money they use at there nation. (Water tribe money, fire nation money, EST.) So if you think you're the best fighter of the villages, come." Then the hood men instantly vanished into thin air. The announcement left people talking for about a couple of weeks then everyone took it seriously. The fighters got prepared, and the Earth's arena was getting properly situated.

Three mouths pasted and the arena was ready to open. The fighters gathered at the gate of Ba Sing Se. There were water binders, fire binders, earth binders, regular fighters, and the son of Aang and Katara, an air binder. Exactly three months from the day of the announcement all of the hooded men appeared. There were about 150 of them. They all stood in front of the gate. The one in front of the men stepped forward and took off his hood. "Welcome warriors to the binding tournament. You all will be vs. your first opponents today. We will keep our promise about vs. some one not from your own village but if there isn't an equal number of binders from the same village you might have to that was obvious. No will be able to skip a round. If the line up shows that some one will have to skip that round or two we will have one match of a three-for-all. If you look around, and some of you might be already wondering why the avatar, Aang, isn't here. That is because since the avatar has the ability of all elements, we were given an order to not allow Aang to join the tournament. The avatar has accepted these terms and understands why we must band the avatar. Sorry for not telling you this earlier, but weapon are allowed and I see that some of you thought you were allowed even if we failed to mention it. I hope you all are well rested because the tournament starts now.
