Well… I still don't own avatar.
Eyes of Stone Heart of Air
Chapter 2
-Toph's point of view-
"Jeez morning already?" I think to myself as I bend my earth tent back into the ground.
I get up and I feel around. By the feel of everyone's heart beat they're all still sleeping.
"That's strange I'm never the first one up…"
I walk over to Aang and yell "Rise and Shine Twinkle Toes! We've got a big day today!"
He sits up quickly opens his eyes then says. "Come on Toph why did you wake me up first?"
"Well I really woke you up all at the same time…" I say as an angry Zuko jumps out of his sleeping bag.
-Aang's point of view-
"Well this is it." I think to myself as I take a deep steadying breath.
Everyone started packing the supplies and Sokka started putting on Appa's armor.
-Toph's point of view-
"Good luck twinkle toes" I said as the fire nation capital zoomed into view.
"I've always hated riding this thing but now I really wish the ride was longer." I thought to myself as I hopped off and my "vision" returned.
-Sokka's point of view-
"Hurry up before someone sees us!" I hissed as we navigated our way through the palace looking for the throne room.
"Well I'm sorry if I've only been here once!" Aang whispered back angrily.
"Hey this door looks impressive, must be his." I said excitedly.
Just then no less then ten guards stepped out from behind the huge stone pillars of the throne room.
"We will hold them off Aang just get in there!"
Aang blasted down the door with a quick air blast and ran inside, and flipped it back up with another blast. He looked determined but scared nonetheless.
I ran over to a guard and swung my sword in a wide arc to try and keep him from bending me to ashes. He sent a quick blast at my head but I dodged it then I stabbed forward. He spun out of the way but fortunately he slammed into another guard. I slammed him on the head with the flat of my blade and ran on to fight the next enemy.
-Toph's point of view-
I jabbed my hand upwards and another guard was pinned up against the ceiling.
"You would think after I did it to three of them they would have gotten smarter by now." Hah guess I thought wrong then." I thought as I pinned yet another against the ceiling.
-Katara's Point of view-
I swept through the stages of the water whip and hit 2 guards at once. I felt the satisfying crunch of their face plates. I heard something on my left and spun on heel, hair loopies flying. I barely got the water shield up in time. Suddenly it was all steam and I couldn't see.
I swept the steam away and there were tons around me. I took the water from an extravagant fountain and went into the octopus stance. I was trying to halt their blasts without creating too much steam. Just as i thought i couldn't hold out any longer Sokka came to my rescue, his blade flashing in the firelight.
-Zuko's Point of view-
I surveyed the area for any advantage i might be able to have over the 5 opponents i faced. I decided to wait for them to attack and took on a defensive pose. Suddenly they all did a pretty basic fire blast. But I was ready. With the power from sozin's comet flooding through my veins i dissipated their blasts and retaliated with a powerful blast of my own. One was cooked in his armor and i quickly ducked another shot from the one on my left. I punched out my fire hit him squarely in the chest. Before he even hit the ground i was sending quick shots at the remaining three to keep them at bay as more rounded the corner.
-Toph's point of view-
The guards were an endless wave, coming in from all 3 entrances of the entry hall to the throne room. I was holding them off on the right hall, Zuko was on the left and Katara and Sokka combined sword and water surprisingly well in the central and largest entrance to the hall. "And boomerang of course" as I saw it go flying across the hall
Suddenly there were big explosions coming from inside the throne room. "I wonder if that means he's winning" I yelled with a nervous grin.
Then suddenly the flow of guards stopped
I looked around the corner of the right hall and shrugged my shoulders at the rest of the gaang. "We should go help Aang" Katara said over from the din of the throne room. Every one nodded in agreement and Sokka said "I'll keep watch just incase more guards come." And Zuko quickly volunteered too.
Katara and I quickly ran inside and looked or felt around in my case.
-Katara's point of view-
"Oh my God" I said as I looked at Aang and the fire lord.
Aang was torn up and bleeding but Ozai didn't even look like he had a scratch on him.
"What is it? What happened?" Toph ask nervously. She had just sent a pillar crashing over that almost landed on Ozai when Katara said that so she couldn't figure out what could possibly be wrong.
"Cant you see Aang?" I yelled and she waved her hand in front of her face. Katara smacked her forehead just like her brother always did.
"Well he's pretty beat up." She said as she attempted to hit Ozai with the water whip.
"Toph you hold him off and I'll heal Aang as fast as I can." She said as Aang sent a small weak gust of air towards the fire lord.
"Aang let me heal you."
"Katara…" He said he looked like he was about to pass out.
-Toph's point of view-
"Sure leave the little blind girl against the fire lord." She thought to herself.
I raised my hands and the Earth beckoned to my call as 5 bowling ball sized boulders rose from the rubble of the pillar. I kicked out and all five sped towards him from different directions. But he was too quick for such a simple trick. He cut three of them down with fire and dodged the remaining two. But i figured he would be able to avoid them so i had already made a battering ram shaped rock and sent it flying at his face. But he sent a wave of fire so powerful it incinerated it and kept going towards me. "Stupid comet."
Knowing she was clearly outmatched she stomped her foot down and rock shot out from underneath the floor cracking the very expensive tile of the fire lord's throne room.Effectively blocking the slow moving wave of fire, but not before he could send a lightning blast from his fingertips right at me.
"No!!" Aang screamed and jumped in front of me allowing the blast to hit his fingertips.
He screamed in pain as the bolt passed out his other fingertips.
"No…" I said kneeling down to try and feel his injury. Katara ran over and I could hear her water doing its work.
Suddenly the young avatar let out a moan and he sat up slowly. I ran over and hugged him "Knew you weren't gunna let a little lightning getcha down."
Aang slowly lowered the wall and prepared to confront him once more. "Together." Katara said.
A/N: Well that's it for this chapter. Now wasn't that a great cliffie? –Smiles-
