STREET 4: CAGGED
Previously on Avatar...
"Alright. What do you want me to do?"
"Let's go out!" Toph whispered excitedly.
"But I got training in the morning!"
"Bah Gua can wait! C'mon Twinkle Toes! The city's waiting!"
"This is going to be fun!" Toph said.
"I hope so," Aang replied, looking back at his lamp-lit dojo.
The dark alley was wet and stinky. The walls were lined with graffiti, and had stacks of soggy packaging boxes on the far end. Out of the bright street, a skinny pale guy walked in. He had neon green hair, all spiky and stiff, a creepy grin, and a twitchy eye. His name was Choi.
"Kouji! Kouji!" his raspy voice rang.
From behind the boxes, something stirred. A puff of smoke floated up to the apartments. Out of the cardboards sat up, a teenaged boy with black, greasy hair. His locks were cut up to his shoulders that hid majority of his face, except for his mouth where a cigarette stood out.
"Fire power's here!" Kouji relied, giving his friend the thumbs-up.
"Oist! Ladies!"
The two men faced a tall, masculine, dude that blocked the light from the open streets. He had on dark shades (yes at night) and bleached blond hair.
"Brought you guys a present."
"Oh! Tosaku! You shouldn't have!" Kouji said sarcastically.
"Ooohhh! Lookie! Lookie! It's a ratty!" Choi exclaimed. He excitedly jumped up and down at Tosaku's present. It was a fury animal locked up in a rusty cage. Kouji bent down and rubbed his chin.
"What is it? A rat?" He asked.
"Ratty! Ratty!" Choi was obviously insane.
"I think its one of those flying lemurs. You know those rare types," Tosaku said, rubbing the back of his head stupidly, and hoping he got it right. Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winner!
"Can it dance?" Kouji asked, smirking.
"We'll know soon enough," Tosaku bellowed as the two guys joined in.
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
"Hahaha! Do another one, man!" Tosaku shouted.
"Alightey then!" Kouji said.
Choi threw him a firecracker, and clapped it between his hands. Opening it, the wick began to light up and threw it hard at the poor lemur. For the past few minutes, the tortured little guy kept dodging the firecrackers.
BOOM!
"Wohoo! Yeah! Look at him go!"
"Ratty! Ratty!"
"You know what'll make this even better?" Kouji started.
"What? Dude?" Tosaku asked, facing his companion.
The smoker brought his hand up to his chest and inhaled deeply and then quickly forcing them downwards.
"This!"
Suddenly a ring of fire encircled the lemur. Screeching and alarmed, the little guy jumped back and forth, finding an exit. Trying a small empty patch, he quickly withdraws his tail and licked the burn as Kouji increased the flame's intensity.
From the nearby trash can, something crashed, as a man with fuzzy hair and a short mustache came walking in groggily.
"Hey! It's Kubo!" Tosaku exclaimed.
"Kubo! Eekkk!" Choi shouted.
"Where you've been man? You're a mess!" Kouji asked.
"Well, you're not so pretty yourself, Sparky!" Kubo had a deep voice, but was just as raspy as Choi's. "Got beat, an Earthbender."
He lifted his head, showing all black and blues, a few cuts here and there, and some blood stained tissue sticking out of his nostrils. Holding it for a few seconds, the three guys laughed their heads off at the idea of their rough and tough member being punched and kicked by a sweet little girl.
"Hahaha! Kubo got beat! You're such a loser!" Tosaku exclaimed.
"Shut up!" Kubo punched the wall next to him. "Next time...!"
"C'mon guys…" Kouji tried to simmer his brothers down. "Let's just-"
"Ratty's gone!" Choi shouted.
"Where'd he go?" Tosaku said.
"Where'd what go?" Kubo asked, picking out the tissue pieces.
"The flying lemur," Kouji answered calmly.
"No! Ratty!" Choi corrected.
"Last week it was a monkey, now a rat? -"
"HEY GIRLY GIRLS! AREN'T YOU LOSERS TOO OLD TO BE PLAYING WITH STUFFED TOYS?"
"Huh?" All of the boys looked to the open road where two silhouettes stood behind the headlights. Kubo's eyes focused on the petite one.
"What…YOU!" Kubo shouted.
With the car lights out, the view became clearer, showing one boy and one girl, standing side by side.
"Yeah! Me!" Toph stated, she then smirked and punched her left hand into her right palm, bringing up a rock platform with the lemur on top. He looked confused, green bright eyes staring straight ahead.
"Hmmm… an Earthbender," Kouji mused.
"Wait! You got beat up by a girl?!" Tosaku shouted. Holding it in, all of them spilled our their guts in fits of laughter, imagining the gruff guy get pounded my a sweet, little, innocent girl. Sweet? Yeah right!
"C'mon, Toph, we already got him," Aang said, putting a hand on her shoulder. It was already bad enough having to run into these guys, more so going into a fight with them. Peacemaker to the end, that was Aang.
"No way! These guys deserve some ass-kicking for what they've done!" Toph shouted. She then thrust her hands forward, making a seismic quake run through the alley.
"Woah…So this is the girl who whooped your butt, Ey, Kubo?" Tosaku walked forward and observed Toph. "She's kinda' cute. Hello Ms. Beautiful, wanna bunk in with me tonight?"
Before the huge gorilla could even lay a finger, he was struck in the gut, by something invisible and too fast to see. It was airbending. This sent him flying backwards, hitting the brick wall. Aang was then found in front of Toph, in his fighting stance, his eyes narrowed and his hands ready to strike.
"Is it just me? Or was that your PRIDE being broken!" Toph said plainly.
"Humph…bitch!" Kubo spat, he was really sick of this, he really wanted to give this girl a piece of his mind…er…fist. Kouji just whistle out, he was impressed at the two. An Airbender and an Earthbender, a powerful combination. Choi on the other hand cowardly hid behind Kubo, that is until he punched him in the head for being a wuss.
Toph smiled and walked beside Aang. She could feel the vibrations of the three standing men. One of them was unstable and continually shivered in his boots, another just stood coolly, while the other had a good firm stance, ready to fight.
"Quit being a knight in shining armor, Twinkle Toes! And take a hold of him will you?" Toph said, shoving the lemur in his hands. She then took a strong fighting stance. Oh it's on!
"Good! Guess I'll get a work out tonight," Kouji said, stretching out his arms.
