The thugs stop laughing and introduce themselves "do you now who we are kid... we are members of the notorious gang The Dragons" shows LJ their dragon tattoos on their arms. LJ replies "i really dont care what gang you are from the important thing is that if you dont leave this poor old lady alone im gonna kick your asses all up and down these streets". The earth bending thug replies "looks like the kid wants a fight i'll give you one" he earth bends a rock at LJ but LJ brings up a wall to counter n stomps the ground so that the thug looses his balance and LJ brings up an earth pillar to send him flying into a cabbage sellers cabbages. "My cabbages" yells the cabbage seller "my beautiful cabbages" he gets teary eyed. the water bending thugs tryies to whip water at LJ but LJ sheilds himself in a earth dome and sends a rock to the thugs testicales. He screams in pain and falls to the ground "Ahhhhhhh" while the fire bending thug goes all out with fire attacks and LJ dodges them all uses the water in the crack to make the wall shake and the thug gaurds himself like a small child guards themself from imaginable monsters. LJ uses the water in the cracks to drench him in water the thug laughs in relief "im not hurt im not hurt at all" LJ blast a rock at his face and takes his teeth out.
