A/N: Hey guys. Here's Colin with another new chapter. Whew! My third chapter since getting back in the game!
….
Senshi was in the warden's office, now his war room, thinking over his next move with two of his six Generals: Hakoda and Kikyo.
One: He could attack the Fire Nation with the troops he had on the Rock.
Two: He could wait until the Fire Nation thought they'd won, and then attack.
Three: He could take himself, Kikyo, Iori, Kiara, Rox, and Cedric, and try Guerilla Warfare. (Ding, ding, ding, we have a winner!)
"Hakoda, could you go and get Kiara, Iori, Rox, and Cedric, for me?" Asked Senshi.
"Yes, sir." Said Hakoda, bowing. The Water Tribe Warrior left to comply with his new war leader.
"Did you decide?" Asked Kikyo, smirking at Senshi. It took him two days to narrow down what he was going to do next.
"Don't give me that look." Glowered Senshi. "I'd like to see you lead an army of freed convicts."
"I think I'll leave that job to you." Said the young woman. Iori and the others entered the room at that point.
"What's up, Senshi?" Asked Iori. "I was practicing my kata when Hakoda came and told me you wanted to talk to us."
"I was Healing some of the wounded prisoners." Said Kiara, referring to the former prison guards.
"I was sleeping." Said Rox.
"I know what we're going to do." Said Senshi. "We're going to the Earth Kingdom, and taking our own war on them."
"Just us seven?" Asked Hakoda.
"No." said senshi. "Just us six. I need you to watch over the Rock, Hakoda."
"I can do that." Said Hakoda. "Just do me a favor. If ever you see my children, tell them I'm proud of them." Senshi nodded.
"Let's get ready to go." Said Senshi. "I want to reach Earth Kingdom shores in at least three days." Suddenly, the door to the room was blasted down.
"Senshi, traitor to the Fire Nation! I challenge you to Agni Kai!" Shouted one of the former guards, whom must have escaped his cell. Cedric made to kill him, but Senshi stopped him.
"I accept." Said the ex prince. The other six people in th room backed up, knowing firsthand how Senshi fought.
The prisoner let loose a volley of fireballs, which were smacked away by Senshi without the faintest show of effort. The prisoner dashed at him to try and get a close fire ball in. Senshi kicked the man back quickly. When the man attempted to get back up, Senshi kicked him in the gut, sending him into the wall. Senshi walked over to see if the man was finished yet. He was taken by surprise, when the man flashed up with a knife in his hand, slashing at Senshi's face. Shenshi's head snapped back as the knife bit into his skin. Kikyo gave a cry of worry when Senshi just stood there.
"You'll have to do much better than that." Said Senshi, grinning evilly, as his new scar bled. It was a diagonal cut, leading from his chin to the middle of his left cheek. Right before everyone's eyes, the scar began to slowly close. It may not stay open for long, but it will be a permanent reminder of one of the few times someone got the drop on him.
"What the hell are you?" Asked the prisoner.
"A brutal bastard." Said Senshi. The prisoner freaked, and attempted to strike him again, but Senshi knocked the knife from his hand, and palmed his face into the wall, knocking him unconscious.
"Lock him up." Said Senshi. "And get ready to leave."
WITH AZULA AND THE OTHERS: COAST TOWN: ONE DAY LATER
"Why are we just waiting!?" Asked Azula, pacing irritably. The four girls bought a room in an inn upon arriving at the coast town. At the moment, Mai and Ty Lee were at the market, buying supplies, leaving just Azula and June. Together. Alone. Baaaaaad.
"Because he's coming here." Said June. "Nyla smells him out on the sea, but he's getting closer, and this is the only coast town for miles. He'll have to come here."
"…"
"…"
"…"
"Well?" Asked June, placing her hands on her hips.
"Well, what?" Asked Azula, eyeing June.
"Are you going to apologize?" Asked June.
"…"
WITH MAI AND TY LEE
The two girls were looking for some oranges, when they heard it.
"Move! Get out of the way!" Shouted June, running through the crowded streets, with an enraged Azula chasing after her.
"I'm going to kill you!" Shouted Azula.
AT SEA: NEXT DAY
"God, I'm bored." Senshi said to himself as he walked to the deck of the prison ship. On deck, he saw Iori practicing his unique form of mixed martial arts. Even with the quick movements, his funny hat still remained on the martial artists head. When Iori saw Senshi, he turned to look at him.
"Hey." Said Iori. "What's up?"
"Just wondered if you needed a sparring partner." Said Senshi, grinning wickedly. Iori grinned back, the same amount of wickedness behind it. (A/N: I'm going to tell you the different styles I got the techniques from.)
"I could use the warm up." Said Iori. They both got into their stances, and stared each other down, neither moving for several moments.
Finally, Senshi acted first, running at Iori. Iori ducked the blow, and proceeded to sweep Senshi's legs(Kung Fu), but Senshi caught himself, and stood on his hands, in order to deliver four massive kicks(Capoeira), which Iori either blocked, or dodged. Jumping back to his feet, Senshi attempted to get in a good spin-kick(Karate), but Iori blocked it, and grabbed him by his pants leg. With an incredible burst of strength, Iori lifted Senshi by his leg, and slammed him into the ground on the other side of him(Judo). Senshi suddenly snapped up, landing on his hands, and began spinning, kicking Iori multiple times(Capoeira), with Iori blocking every kick. Senshi hopped back to his feet, and delivered a roundhouse kick(Karate), which caught Iori by surprise. He landed on his back, but snapped back up instantly. The two squared off for a moment, and both clashed, punching each other in the face, knocking each other out. Kikyo found them both like that, and almost busted a gut laughing.
A HALF AN HOUR LATER: PHYSICIAN'S ROOM
"Quit squirming." Complained Kiara, trying to heal Iori. "I swear, you keep on getting hurt, and I'm the one that has to heal you, just for you to get even more hurt than the last time.
"It was just a sparring match." Grumbled Iori. Kiara slapped him on the back of the head.
"Don't talk back to me. I'm trying to fix you." She said to him.
"Sorry." Iori mumbled. Kiara sighed.
"I'm not mad at you. Just try not to get hurt." She said to him, forcing him to look her in the eyes.
"Alright." Iori rolled his eyes.
"Promise."
"I promise."
"Alright, then." Said Kiara, smiling brightly. "I'm finished. All your wounds are healed, and you can carry about your duties."
"It was just a few bruises." Mumbled Iori. Kiara's smile became slightly dangerous.
"What was that?" She asked. Iori clapped his hands together, and bowed, hurriedly.
"N-nothing! Thank you for healing me!" He said, scared out of his mind. He quickly turned and ran out of the room. Kiara laughed, but when Iori was gone, she sat down and held her knees to her chest, looking at the door sadly.
"Damn it, Iori…"
SENSHI'S ROOM: SAME TIME
"Ninety-five (Clap). Ninety-six (Clap). Ninety-seven (Clap). Ninety-eight (Clap). Ninety-nine (Clap). One hundred (Clap)." Said Senshi, doing clap pushups, with Kikyo sitting on his bed.
"Just another day." Said Kikyo. Senshi nodded, then shifted his weight so he was standing completely on his hands, vertical, and began doing pushups that way.
"Yep." He said.
"What are we going to do when we get there?" Asked Kikyo.
"Dunno." Answered Senshi, still doing pushups. "I never really think that far ahead."
"You got this far without making a real plan?" Asked Kikyo, surprised. He nodded. "Wow, you must be lucky."
"Well, yeah." Said Senshi, hopping up to land on his feet. He grinned at Kikyo. "I met you, didn't I?"
"Oh, you're smooth." Said Kikyo, raising an eyebrow at him. Senshi laughed.
"I was raised by royalty." He said through his laughter. "I know how to talk to people. Especially beautiful young ladies."
"Keep talking like that, and you won't be keeping that virtuosity you're so proud of." Said Kikyo, smiling at Senshi with a gleam in her eyes.
"My dear Kikyo, are you propositioning me?" Asked Senshi, grinning. She shook her head.
"I'm warning you."
"Sir! We have visual of the Earth Kingdom!" Came Rox's voice. Senshi gave a quiet sigh of relief. Saved by the bell.
….
A/N: Hey guys. Looks like Azula and the others are waiting for little Senshi to show up, and what's the deal between Iori and Kiara? Why am I asking you? I already know!
Till next time, Live For Life, Readers.
