Chapter Song:

I got a bulletproof heart
You got a hollow-point smile
Me and your runaway scars
Got a photograph dream on the getaway mile

Bulletproof Heart- My Chemical Romance.


After a short drive Lu Ten and Alena finally pulled up to an old warehouse where there was a large crowd formed. As he helped Alena down Lu Ten grabbed her hand "Stay close to me. These people are like paparazzi." He murmured.

"Look its Lu Ten Agni, Captain of the Flying Dragons!" someone shouted causing Lu Ten to curse and pulled Alena to his side.

"Keep your head down Lena." He ordered clutching her waist. This was not how he wanted her to see a match, paparazzi all over her like rats.

"Lu Ten is she your girlfriend?"

"Who is this mystery girl?"

"Will The Flying Dragons win tonight against the Roaring Rhinos?"

Lu Ten ignored the questions and made his way into the warehouse where he gave a relaxed sigh and turned to Alena "I'm sorry. I didn't expect them to be here so early. This place doesn't open for another hour or two."

Alena will admit that she was a little shaken up, she didn't expect to be surrounded by those people but gave Lu Ten a reassuring smile "I'm fine Lu Ten."

She glanced around the warehouse and noticed it was actually a huge stadium on the inside. It looked like they were on the higher part. Rows and rows of seats circled around a hexagonal platform in the middle of the arena. It was raised up about 30 or 40 feet in the air with a pool of water below it. Ropes lined the side of the platform; she guessed to keep them from falling off the side and was split into two sides, red and blue. There was a scoreboard on the side that seemed to light up colors. Two other platforms were on each side of the hexagon.

"That's where the judges sit and watch the game. They're higher up so they see everything." Lu Ten explained as they went down the stairs. It took them awhile to get to the bottom of the stands were they were eye level with the platform. It was still a good distance away; the people who sat here probably got splashed with water once in a while.

Lu Ten led her to a hallway where the teams all went to get ready and prepped for a match. "Come on I'll show you our team prep room." He said taking her down a hallway and climbed up a few stairs.

He opened the door to reveal Neo and Bumi lounging around the room, both shirtless in red pants. Neo noticed her first and grinned before shoving his elbow into Bumi's side "Look who's here Bum!"

Bumi turned to see his cousin and smiled "Came to cheer me on cuz?"

Alena chuckled "Sure Bumi."

Lu Ten rolled his eyes and ushered her in, the room was a decent size. There was a TV, radio, and lockers lined up on the side, there was also a large window that was covered by blinds. "So you guys hang out here before each match?" she asked sitting down on a chair.

Neo stood up and headed toward a locker labeled with his name and pulled out some white wrist tape. "Yeah but sometimes we get interviewed before a match and they show the footage before our team comes out."

"That's cool. So you guys are like celebrities?" she asked crossing one leg over the other.

Neo wrapped his hand and chuckled "I guess so but Lu Ten here is the real star. We're more like the backup boys." He shrugged.

Lu Ten clicked his tongue and went over to his locker "Don't be a drama queen Neo, we're all treated the same."

"That's what you think" Neo replied angrily.

Bumi glanced nervously between the two then at Alena who gave him a confused look "Just ignore them, they always fight about this." He said then glared at his two friends.

"So Alena your first match huh?" he asked with a smile trying to break the tension.

"Yeah. There wasn't one of these places in Alaska."

Bumi smirked and helped her out of her seat "Then prepared to be amazed. This is the only Pro Bending stadium in the world" He opened the blinds to reveal the amazing view of the stadium. They were all eye level with the hexagon and she noticed the stands beginning to fill with people. "Wow." She breathed.

"Nice huh?"

She nodded and looked around to notice a small balcony by their window "What's that?" she asked.

"That's how we get to the hexagon; we stand on a platform that takes us across the water. See that little door?" he asked pointed to a small door that she didn't notice on the side of the room, she nodded "Well that leads us outside to the balcony where we get on the platform." He explained.

"Looks like we're on the red side today guys!" Bumi shouted turning to his teammates who were already getting ready.

"Sweet!" Neo shouted running to window.

Alena turned and noticed Lu Ten in a white wife beater and a pair of red pants. His back was turned to her and he was wrapping his hand with a hiss. Alena went to his side and glanced over to see his wrapping a blistered hand "That doesn't look so good."

Lu Ten gave a halfhearted chuckle "From my last match, I push myself a little too hard sometimes."

She smiled and looked around to see a water bottle sitting on the bench. She opened it and bended the water out and walking over to Lu Ten "Give me your hand." She ordered.

He glanced at her with a risen eyebrow "What are you doing?" he asked.

Alena rolled her eyes "Come on just give it. I'm going to heal your hand. Wouldn't want those blisters to open and get infected." She chided.

He nodded and held his large hand out to her. She placed the water on his hand and it began to glow causing Lu Ten to sigh. That felt much better. After a few seconds Alena removed her hand and his wounds were gone.

'Amazing.' He thought.

"Thanks Lena." He said and began to wrap his hand again.

"Anytime." She replied with a blush.

A knock on the door caused Neo and grin "It's probably Tami."

Alena turned to Lu Ten "Who's Tami?"

Lu Ten groaned "My sister."

With that the door slammed open before Neo could get to it "Don't sound so sad big brother." She said stepping into the room.

Everything about that girl screamed 'Troublemaker' to Alena.

Tami turned to the brunette girl "Names Tami, you're Alena right?"

"That's me."

"What are you doing here Tami? You know mom and Jet don't like you here." He said giving her a pointed glare.

She rolled her eyes "Please, they didn't even notice me leave. They're too busy sucking each other's face off."

Lu Ten shuddered "Ugh thanks for that image Tam."

Tami shrugged and turned to Alena "So I guess we're buddies for tonight while the boys go play."

Alena giggled "I guess so."

"Don't corrupt her mind Tami." Lu Ten warned.

"Why big brother I'm sad that you think so lowly of me!" Tami cried out dramatically.

He rolled his eyes and pulled on his uniform jacket and tying a red belt around his waist. Alena had to admit their red and black uniforms were very nice. She noticed Neo and Bumi tying blue and green belts around their waists.

"What's with the colored belts?" she asked.

Bumi chuckled "To indicate what kind of bender we are, red for fire, blue for water, and green for earth."

"Who are we against tonight?" Neo asked taking his helmet out of his locker. She noticed a water tribe symbol on the side of his helmet; it was small but still noticeable.

"Roaring Rhinos." Lu Ten growled out, Neo and Bumi groaned.

Tami let out a laugh "Oh tonight is going to be so good."

Alena raised an eyebrow "Why is that?"

Tami lay back on the bench and crossed her hands behind her head "The Flying Dragons and Roaring Rhinos are arch enemies. They've been at each other's throats since the very beginning, especially Lu Ten and Cainon."

"He's an arrogant bastard who cares about no one but himself." Lu Ten yelled angrily.

"Yo chill out bro." Tami stated "Anyways they hate each other but their matches against each other. Between you and me Cainon is pretty hot."

Alena giggle and Lu Ten rolled his eyes "Shut up Tami."

"Hey Lu, are you going to the after party tonight?" Bumi asked polishing his helmet.

Lu Ten glanced at Alena "Want to go to a party?"

"Oh. Um." She nervously rubbed her arm "I've never been to one."

Tami shot up from her seat "What?! Oh you are so going to this party. You'll have a blast! All the teams and upper class people go to these parties."

Alena shrugged "Alright."

"Sweet!" Tami said as Bumi and Neo cheered.

'FLYING DRAGONS YOU'RE UP.' A voice from an intercom above them said.

"That's our cue." Bumi said sliding on his helmet "Don't miss me too much Tami."

She threw a water bottle at him as he and Neo went out to the balcony. Lu Ten smiled at Alena "If you need anything just ask Tami. I'll see you after the match." He said before sliding on his helmet.

"Good luck!" she shouted as he and the rest of the team loaded on the platform.

"INTRODUCING THE FLYING DRAGONS!"

As it began to move the crowd erupted in cheers, Lu Ten turned to her, saluted her with two fingers and winked.

She noticed the opposing team already on the hexagon, their captain stood slightly in front of them with his arms crossed and a smirk on his face. Tami was right, this guy is good looking.

Once the Flying Dragons were in position, a bell rung and everything went silent.

The match had begun.


Sorry for the lack of Action but don't worry the next chapter will have the Match and the after party.

Cainon's name is pronounced: Cay-non

And he will be a big part of the story :)
