Submission for:

Gender-Swap Boot Camp: loud

Aana walked through the deserted town with Sukka on her right. Where was everybody? She had the strange feeling however that something was there, something dangerous.

Then she heard it. An intake of breath, a sharp whistle through the air. Aana jumped, pulling Sukka behind the large statue in the middle of the courtyard. The loud explosion shook the cobblestones beneath their feet. What was that?

Then she spotted the ominous figure on the roof a house across the courtyard. It was a tall figure with a murderous gaze, her mouth formed into a hard line. The dying sunlight glinted off her metallic protestics and she jumped down to meet them, taking another deep breath before firing another energy blast.

The girls ran, the heat from the explosion singeing the back of their clothes as they ducked into an alley.

"This woman is crazy. She shoots fire from her brain," Sukka said.

"Let's just split up," Aana said, "He can't chase both of us."

The girls divided, each taking a different turn as another blast was fired. Aana sprung onto the roof, but the woman was quick, she was determined.

She turned, uncaring about the water tribe girl, and aimed a blast at Aana, forcing her to jump off the roof. She fell through the air, slamming into the chest of the large metal statue before landing painfully to the ground.

Aana groaned, her muscles sore from the fall and the running. Footsteps neared her and she turned her head up to meet her opponent. This was it. There was nothing left to do, nowhere left to run.

The woman took a deep breath to make the final blow, but then her head was suddenly surrounded by ice. She stumbled to the side, and Aana saw Katann, Toph and Sukka behind him.

"Get up!" Katann cried, bending down to pick Aana up and place her back onto her feet.

They heard the shattering of the ice and Aana turned back, expecting another blast. But Toph was quicker. He pulled the earth from the courtyard, allowing it to take the brunt of the explosion while they continued to run.

"I think I finally found a name for her," Sukka said. "Combustion Lady."
