Outlaw Bending

-Unable-

Luna opened her eyes, all was confusing, nevertheless, all was ok, no rocks, the earthquake was over, "Mary! You did it!" she step up from the bed, "I know you would do it"

Nobody answered

"Hello?" mid yelled Luna, this was Mary house, why was everything so silent?

"So you have already wake up?" said a familiar voice, nevertheless, it wasn't Mary's

I was Diggory…

"You!" Luna screamed, "What the fuck are you doing here?" Diggory jumped a bit with the sound of her voice, "you silly fool! You were at the verge of ruining all!"

"Saving your life is something really that awful?" this time Mary was talking, she started laughing at the look of Luna's face, "yeah, I was as astonished as you, but Diggory is an earthbender…" Diggory was smiling in return, "and a very good one as a matter of facts"

Luna stood up at the very mention of this, "HE! A bender?" He was furious, "an earthbender? You must be joking!" the without saying more, Luna ran towards him, and with a casual and apparently effortless freckle of her finger, Diggory was across the room, "he is weak and tender as a puny airbender, and you pretend him to be a earthbender? I am ten times as tougher than him!" she again prepared to tackle him

Mary stepped right between them, "he is still an apprentice, my apprentice for instance, and Luna I will ask you to stop teasing him"

"Mary, let her say whatever she wants" Diggory said, "I will prove my self…"

Mary smiled at Luna, Luna glared angrily at him

"Lets get stared then…" Mary stepped slowly out of the room, Diggory quickly followed her, Luna stared at them and finally decided to follow too, Mary guided Diggory to what looked like a football field except it was filled with big rocks, some of them badly burned, "welcome to my training field…" she smiled, "You already know some theory, now its time to do some practice work…" then, with a small kick to the ground, a big rock appeared "this is an old way of teaching, you will be moving a rock…"

"Moving a rock?" Diggory repeated, "di lucho, right?" lets see, then putting all of his effort in a single kick, he kicked the rock, then a roar

Luna was bent with laughter; the rock didn't move an inch, "what a earthbender" she was gleaming, "at least I would have expected you being thrown away! I think this is a tie!!"

"Concentrate more, you didn't move so you have something right…"

"Or maybe he is just a brat who is trying to push a rock" Luna added, "maybe a boo-bender…"

"Luna shut the fuck up…" Mary said, "Another try?"

And they did, another time the rock stayed static, and again Luna laughter about him, and again, and again…

1 hour later, the rock was there, the only difference was that Luna was tired of laughing, "I think is it more than obvious that he is not what we; well you, think…"

"I didn't stop the earthquake, nor you did" she was really frustrated, "know what? Come with me…" Mary walked down the field, "I think you just need some inspiration…"

Luna suddenly hardened her expression, "you aren't thinking of taking him there, right?" Mary just continued walking, "Mary, don't even dare…"

Mary continued walking, she turned down a alley and continued downstairs, all was make of stone and there was no sing of real technology in there, the space was lightened by a strange light coming from some weird crystals, he was tempted to ask, but he preferred to stay quiet, "Diggory, you are about to enter a sacred place, take of your shoes" Mary was barefoot, so she just put on a pair of slippers, Luna, looking quite resigned, took her own shoes an putted on another pair, Diggory copied, Mary continued to walked downstairs

Finally Diggory saw an end

A big door; an ancient looking one, was standing right before them, four strange looking locks ornate the door, "this is on of the doors to the chamber of the masters…"

"An ancient enclosure meant only for bender masters…" Luna grunted

"a place Diggory, you are now being invited" Mary glared at Luna, then stepped closer to the door, "this is my entrance, only a full lengthen earthbender is able to open it, she then took a complicated posture, "this way I can open it" suddenly a strong green glow surrounded her and with another movement, the lock clicked open, "this way…"

"One of the doors?" Diggory asked

"There are a total of four doors, each element has one, currently we have access to just two of them, earth…"

"And fire, but don't expect me to show it to you…" Luna was again angry

Mary walked a little bit more and the stairs come to end, then right before their eyes was a bigger chamber, more brightly and clearer than the one before, in the center Diggory saw 4 magnificent statues

"Welcome to the chamber of masters…" Mary said, "this is a last honing place to the most powerful benders ever…"

Luna cleared her throat and talked, "Fire Lord Zuko, his father Fire Lord Ozai and Fire Princess Azula, the most powerful firebenders ever…" Luna was staring at the nearest statue, 3 persons stood there, a fierce looking young woman, "Azula, the blue fire dragon…" a tall and cruel looking man, "Fire Lord Ozai, the best thunder user ever"

"He was…" Mary said

Luna smiled, "And Fire Lord Zuko, the last man to directly learn from the original fire bending masters, the dragons…"

Diggory continued watching the statues, fierce looking and magnificent, the statues make him chill, then he noticed something else, a dagger, a pair of swords and a kind of crown

"The fire relics…" Luna continued, "Only the supreme a firebender is allowed to take them… anyone else will be burned to death is he even tries…" Luna glared at him, "the lighting dagger, the dragon blades and the fire crown…"

"This side…" Mary started talking so Diggory turned to see her, "Toph Bey Fong" she smiled, "my great great great great great… well you know it, great grandmother… the best earthbender ever, the only person to master all disciplines and to fully perfect metalbending" the woman was a tomboy looking one with a great grin in her face, her eyes were blank… "Blind…" Mary echoed, and then right before her, stood a black metallic bracelet, "Toph's space earth bracelet… hope someday it may be mine…"

"it will…" answered Luna, "then this side we have Master Katara, the most powerful master ever, it was said to be conquered only once b her husband Avatar Aang, able of taking water from anywhere, she was the only known user of the horrible technique called bloodbending, she was also gifted with a powerful medical abilities and a fierce combat spirit… I really admire her…" in front her statue; a peaceful looking woman, were just two relics, "the moon choker and the last drop of the sacred spiritual world water…"

Mary smiled, "and finally we have Avatar Aang, the last original airbender, master of all elements and only known user of the ultimate technique, energybending" Mary finished the presentation, "I took you here cause is my last hope you can get some inspiration from this… it really worked for me, hope it does for you too…"

Diggory looked at the statues firmly; they were so magnificent and represent something even greater

"I will try again…" Diggory said, some minutes later and once they were back in the field, "here I go…"

There was a great explosion, and the roof exploded open right over Mary, a lighting struck down, Mary was…

Safe

Mary was lying in the floor, then, there beside her, Luna was standing arms wide open

"Luna, quick reflexes, thanks for that…" Luna didn't moved, "Luna?" Mary reached out to touch her, then there was a zap and Luna ran

"Don't touch me…" her voice was hysterical, and her eyes were blank, "that was no normal lighting…" a big bolt of electricity came out of her, "I can't take it from my body…"

"The avatar?" Diggory asked

"The avatar…" Mary and Luna answer
