The war is over. The gaang is together and extremely bored.
"I can't believe I'm saying this but I miss being on the run" Zuko said
"I miss fighting" Toph replied
"I HAVE AN IDEA" Sokka said.
"what" Aang said
"lets have a tournament to see who the best fighter is out of all of us" Sokka said excitedly
"I'll be the host and referee" Suki said
"sounds good" Toph said
"I'm in" Katara shrugged.
"why not" Zuko said "nothing better to do"
"okay first match. Sokka on Zuko" Suki said
"swords only' Sokka blurted out. Zuko nodded drawing his swords. Toph made an arena.
"ready…and….fight" Suki called out. Sokka quickly struck center Zuko blocking it and stepping to the side. He used one sword to sweep Sokka but he jumped out of the way just in time landing on the other side. He lunged forward but Zuko caught Sokka's sword in-between his two swords but when Sokka went to pull back all three swords locked in the earth. From there is went to close hand to hand combat. Zuko sent a few jabs barely dodged by Sokka who then swept Zuko's foot giving him a second while Zuko attacked again.
The fight went on for a while until Sokka went to get his sword. It was stuck in the ground good so he took one of Zuko's. Zuko quickly grabbed the other one. Sokka wasn't used to the lightness of the sword and Zuko got stuck with the left one (yes it matters which hand uses which) mentioning his right hand is his good hand and his left eye his bad eye they both were fighting like idiots. Finally Zuko jumped into the air flipping, receiving a deep cut from Sokka's sword he grabbed them both and pinned Sokka to the ground by his shirt.
"and the winner is….ZUKO" Suki said "sorry Sokka" she whispered giggling
"Zuko you've got to teach me that" Sokka said once Zuko pulled out the swords. He nodded.
"you put up a good fight by the way. Didn't think you had it in you" Zuko said
"and somebody around here knows more than just bending" Sokka said
"okay you guys were impressed I get it" Toph said "but that was an AWESOME match" she added.
Zuko went to the fountain to clean the blood of his arm. The cut ran almost half way to his elbow deep into the vain. "I wont even ask how you managed to pin me with that not hurting at all' Sokka said
"It hurt but if I showed you I would give you an opening" Zuko said
"so I could have won if you were more emotional" Sokka said in a whining voice
"pretty much" Zuko said "but don't worry I don't intend on getting emotional anytime soon" Zuko said. Sokka laughed and they walked back to the others.
"you okay Zuko" Suki asked
"ya I'm fine" Zuko said
"good cause I'm up against Twinkle Toes next" Toph said
"yup its Avatar Aang vs. The Blind Bandit" Suki said
"man I missed the title" Toph said dropping herself to the earth
"we didn't get titles' Sokka said pointing to him and Zuko
"ya Sparky and Snoozlez" Toph said
"hey I deserve something better than that" Sokka said
"ever had an alter ego" Toph asked
"Zuko has" Aang said
"what was it" Suki said
"and you had to mention it" Zuko said
"what he's the blue spirit" Aang said
"that was you" Katara said. Zuko nodded.
"blue spirit…I like it" Toph said
"okay now well Sokka's out anyway so it doesn't matter" Suki said
"SUKI" Sokka whined
"anyway so everyone has a name now right" Suki said
"NO I don't" Katara added
"The Painted Lady" Sokka blurted out
"okay so The Painted Lady, Blue Spirit, Blind Bndit, and Avatar Aang" Suki said
"I want a better name" Aang said
"Phoenix Destroyer" Toph said
"okay" Suki said "The Painted Lady, Blue Spirit, Blind bandit, and Phoenix Destroyer"
"sounds good" Sokka said
"ya" Toph said
"get ready to loose Twinkle Toes" Toph said
