The GAang and the Fire Nation School
Chapter 3: A Taste of Agni Kai
1st off, THANK YOU ALL for the reviews and hits! Never before have I had a FF getting this "popular" in such a quick time. To some who reviewed, I know I said I might take several weeks for the next chapter due to problems, but I managed to fit in enough time. Again, thank you all so much for the reviews, favs, and alerts.
I do NOT own Avatar: The Last Airbender, and if I did, I would more even more popular than this, lol.
"Something isn't right...can you read what Aang's note said again?" asked Toph, sitting on a bench outside the school gates.
Katara took out the message and read it again outloud for Toph. "Dear everyone, I left early since I'm up already. Hope you don't mind that I did. Anyway, after school, I'll be coming back as soon as it's over to hand in some new stuff I learned about the Fire Nation then be off again. If I come back a little later than usual, it's because I got detention again. Well, hope you guys find some stuff for yourself before I do! - Aang. What's wrong with it?"
"It says he would be back 'a little later' as in maybe 30 minutes like last time, not for more than an hour! Something's up..."
"But nothing bad could happen to him; he can take care of himself."
Sokka gave a quiet chuckle when Katara said that. She turned to him, looking quite annoyed with her brother.
"What was that for?"
"It's because you think Aang can take care of himself, but you still act like a mom to him many times," replied Sokka, laughing a bit as he spoke.
"No I don't! You don't think that too, Toph, do you?"
"Uh...yeah...I'm gonna have to side with Snoozles on this one."
"Enough of this then. We need to find Aang. He could know really important things right now and not tell us because he got too caught up in playing with his other friends. I know we're actually having a good time here, but we're still in enemy territory. Come on!"
The other 2 agreed and they left the front gates of the school. They decided to stay in a group since if they split up, how would they tell the others if he/she found Aang? They traveled to the open market where they usually bought their food. They didn't find him, but they did find the chubbish Moto and the skinny Feri, 2 of Aang's, or Kuzon's, friends. They told him that his parents were worried that he hadn't come back yet and would apreciate if they found him since the mother was "supposed" to be in labor. Not finding him anywhere, they had to go around and asking people from the school. None of them have seen Kuzon since the end of school. They eventually found Otin, the other friend of Kuzon, who said he received an invitation from On Ji to some place he never had time to read before he, Moto, and Feri were caught. Katara, Sokka, and Toph asked Moto and Feri why they didn't mention that, but they simply replied with "I forgot."
Learning where some of the girls of school went to from Otin, they went to the place, which ended up a playground with the sandbox and everything. By coincidence, they did end up finding On Ji and her friends talking and asked her what she was doing here and not at the party she was hosting. She answered back by saying she never planned one at all. On Ji became worried too of Kuzon and she helped the 6 look for him, of course, after saying goodbye to her other friends. They searched for Kuzon non-stop, but while they were looking for him, he was in serious trouble with the jocks of the school.
Back at the beach house...
"It took me awhile, but now I got you where I want ya!" said Hide, proud of his plan working. "This is what happens when you mess with jocks!"
The others agreed to him and took a step closer to the surrounded Kuzon and the weird boy who knew of Kuzon's true identity. Several of them took firebending stances while others took melee positions. It looks like they were just going to beat up Kuzon a bit, it was going to be more than that, a permaneant bruise. Back to back, the boy and Kuzon looked around at each punk as they crept closer. What can I do?! I can't bend or else my cover is blown, and I can't dodge everyone's attacks! And if I make it out of here, then what about this guy...? He took a look at the boy with the corner of his eye. The odd thing was, he didn't seemed scared or frightened from the probably dozens of jocks; he looked like he was ready to counter and fight back since he had a grin and tough look on his face.
"These guys are either wannabe fighters or benders, they'll be no problem," whispered the boy to Kuzon. "Just avoid every attack and watch them give up."
Kuzon nodded in agreement as the melee fighters moved in. Fists raised and roars on, they charged. Kuzon and the boy ran forward from each other and seperated. Dealing with 2 fists both aiming at his face, he evaded by ducking and doing swift kicks at the legs of both of them. The kick tripped one of them, but the kick was halted by the other due to his size. Kuzon looked up to see this kid twice as big as him, bigger than Hide. He grabbed Kuzon by his vest collars and tossed him back to the middle of the room. How does Sokka fight like this?!
When Kuzon looked back to the boy, he was amazed to see benders at battle. Not just the jock benders, but also the boy himself. He was somehow evading every blast and countering with his own blasts from both his hands and feet. He even saw one bender attempt a round house kick at the boy's head, but he lowered his upper body by bending back, landed on his hands, and spun his entire body with his hands with fire erupting from both feet as if he was a sprinkler of fire. To amazed with the boy's bending, he failed to notice the jocks charging at him. He looked at them in time to get back up quickly and avoid one of the jocks punches that ended up pounding the ground hard. If Kuzon was right, that jock's knuckles were broken now.
Of course, not all these jocks are high and mighty and don't care if they're called "back-stabbers" since one of them kicked Kuzon in the back, causing him to tremble forward. The good thing was, it wasn't in the spine, so he can still fight; the bad thing was, it still hurt a lot! He turned to face the back-stabber to find, shockingly, the girl who gave him the invitation. She didn't seem so sweet as she did before. Waiting for her to stirke first, she charged and attempted to quickly jab him in the face. Moving his head to the left in time, he grabbed her arm with his own left arm and pushed her down hard with his right arm. But this gal was no sissy; she rolled back a bit and jumped right back to her 2 feet. Quicker than her jab, she kicked straight for Kuzon's gut and hit its target. Kuzon flew back to the large jock as he grabbed him again but kept him in his grip. With Kuzon hanging and not able to fight properly, the jocks gained up on him. It was like Kuzon was a live and fresh punching bag for all of these jocks.
Like a bright light of hope, fire missed Kuzon's head by a few inches and hit the large jock's head, causing him to let go of him. Back on his 2 feet, he had to face the front 3 jocks cornering him. More fire was bended and hit all 3 jocks' backs as they flew forward. The boy did a nice and round kick behind them all while they were gaining on the hanging Kuzon. Back to back again, they now had to face 9 jocks since the lagre jock wasn't done yet, even being hit in the face with fire.
"You're not doing too good. Maybe you should stick with me more often," said the boy, ready to strike anyone like before.
"Easy for you to say, you're the one who knows how to bend!"
"Breathe in through the nose, and out the mouth, you should get that quickly."
Kuzon was confused why he told him that now, but he did remember that being that long lesson from Jeong Jeong back in the winter. Was he telling him how to firebend? No time!
Fire was bended at both of them from all the enemy benders. Kuzon saw the boy put both of his hands together like a loud clap and a small fire shield surrounded them. The fire was repeled and the boy spread the shield toward all of the jocks like a ring of fire. Some of them blocked it while others took the hit. Not only was this boy good at attacking, he was good at defending as well. Kuzon then saw the boy point at Hide, who looked exhausted right now, and said to him:
"Bring it!"
Soon, all of the jocks charged in at them from all directions. No chance to evade or dodge, no chance of attacking with fists and feet, no chance of bending. Unless there was something this boy still had. But instead of doing fancy bending, he made a small fireball and handed it to him. Kuzon was lucky enough he still remembered how to hold a controlled fireball in his hands. After having good control of the fireball, he looked at the boy again. He nodded at him and understood what to do.
Breathe in the nose, and out the mouth
He breathe in lots of air (thanks to the airbending) through his nose, and split his hands in 2 and pointed his hands left and right. At the same time while doing that, he breathed out through the mouth and the boy ducked while the fireball that was split in 2 was now an entire ring of inferno spreading in all directions. He did this in the winter too. All jocks couldn't do anything, and were hit hard by the inferno. All 9 of them, even the large 1, collided with the walls of the beach house and fell to the floor afterwards. That's the 1st time Kuzon bended fire since the winter time, but it was the 1st time when he did mean to do what he did.
Both of them heard the door trying to open and remembered it was locked. It looks like someone heard the fighting and is trying to get in. Kuzon ran to the door to unlock it, but he acted a bit too soon. He heard the boy yell in pain and saw in time that Hide punched fire at the boy's back. Back-stabber...
Seeming to know what Kuzon wanted to know, he bended another fireball in his hands and quickly tossed it to Kuzon while still on the floor. Kuzon repeated the process and seeing that the boy was on the ground already, he didn't hold back. But instead of bending it in all directions, he moved both his hands up from his waist to his chest, gathering some chi, and let out the power through his palms and to the fireball. The fire shot out and hit Hide like before, but this time, he was down for good. Everyone had been beaten finally.
"Nice...bending...ugh..." said the boy, trying to get on his knees.
Kuzon assisted the boy by wrapping his arm around his shoulder and carrying him up. As they proceeded to the door, it suddenly broke open as Toph from the other side kicked it open, shocking everyone that saw.
"Okay, Wan, you got to lift some weights or something," said Toph, pointing at Sokka's chest without looking at him.
Being Sokka's disguised name, he looked down in embarrassment as Katara, Otin, Moto, Feri, and On Ji entered the house. They saw all the beaten jocks and their jaws dropped in amazement. They looked at the boy and then to Kuzon.
"I know what you're thinking," started Kuzon, noticing how they thought the boy didn't help at all, "but it wasn't all me."
"We're gonna...have to do...some...storytelling..." said the boy slowly, still in pain.
