Authors note: Sorry but there has to be some type of intro to group and Rahak. I'm also noticing you guyz are skipping to the last chapter... i just posted two at the same time, so read the one b4 this (its different from WAT) lol
Rahak finally opened his eyes after resting on the floor for a few minutes. He heard the some people shouting and talking but most of the words were drowned out to him. Right now all he could feel was pure pain. His body was in so much pain, it felt like he pulled a muscle, only that he pulled every possible muscle in his body. He sucked up the pain and got up. The pain overwhelmed him and he gasped in pain, in the process he sucked in a bunch of dust and coughed.
"Fuck" he sighed. "Diam that hur-urt so much" he whimpered. "Ton Lei, dude, where am I?" he asked then realized he was supposed to have traveled through time. All the things that happened to him in the past two hours came rushing back and he remembered where he should be. But was he really there?
Sokka turned abruptly to the sound of a cough and a voice coming from the cloud of dust. He immediately drew his sword. He didn't know what it was but if it was a threat he could deal with it.
Toph also followed suit and fell into an earth-bending stance.
Rahak swayed in spot, his body was so tired and he felt slightly dizzy and this dust cloud wasn't helping so he sought to get rid of it. He flicked his wrist and the dust flew away and dispersed. Good, so I can still earth bend.
Sokka's eyes widened as the dust flew away. Earth-bender? Was he Dai Lee? He glanced at Toph who had her normal calm returned to her but she still didn't attack. She still seemed unsure but she was no longer in her daze. He looked back at the man standing a few meters from him. He looked like he was covered in sweat or he went for a dive. He had a large burn on his upper left shoulder and arm where there was no clothing. He was wearing a green top and bottom with random splotches of different shades of green. On his shirt he had a few slabs of earth and three spheres hanging from a few loops. He wore a large belt and big black boots. The upper part of his shirt was burned away and the skin underneath was also burned. He seemed older than he was for his face was hard, cheeks hollow almost like from lack of food and his body, though small was full of muscle, he could see it bulging in his arms. This made Sokka I little bit self-conscious Am I that menacing?
"Who are you! What do you want?" he asked threateningly, he held his sword out further to emphasize it and kept his stance relaxed.
Rahak spun at the sound of the voice and by habit didn't bother to look for his rifle and crouched down, in the process he pulled his pistol out and pointed it towards the voice. He waited a second for his vision to adjust to the pistols iron sight. Once he did he was surprised to not see a gun pointed back at him, rather a sword. He smiled slightly at the distance between them and relaxed a bit. Yes he had a sword, good so I'm in around the right time frame. He examined him. He was dressed in light blue, very bad camouflage, and his sword was black. Odd since he always remembered swords as being silver and shiney. There was a person beside him. Young this person was but the persons bangs covered her face and Rahak wasn't able to tell if this person was a boy or a girl. The person was dressed in green and a greenish shade of yellow. "You, boy with the sword who is the fire lord?"
Was this some kind of trick question? Sokka raised an eyebrow and boy?! Who was he calling a boy? Another thing that was confusing him was that 'L' shaped piece of metal he held in his hand. It had a hole and the hole was pointing towards him and Toph. This was all so confusing.
"Listen, I ask the questions got it? Now who are you and are you Dai Lee or Fire Nation" Sokka demanded.
O great, a power struggle, why cant they just answer the question? Rahak was a little angered by this who answers the questions deal. He sighed and lowered his pistol. He had said Fire Nation, which means they haven't had the revolution to become a Republic. This was good he knew because this narrows his approximate time frame down a lot. So he decided he needed only needed one question answered and that he already asked.
"Do you agree to answer my question if I answer yours?" he asked.
Sokka narrowed his eyes "No guarantee"
"Fine" Rahak was clearly angry and frustrated. He was feeling very tired and weak, all he wanted to do was find out where he was and go to sleep before he started his mission. "No guarantee here that I'll tell the truth!" He saw the boy turn to the younger one near him, he wasn't sure if it was a guy or a girl, then turned back.
"Fine, are you part of the Fire Nation or the Dai Lee?" he repeated
"Yes" Rahak replied simply hoping that Dai Lee was good or something or that they were both bad and these guys were from the Fire Nation.
Sokka's eyes widened slightly and a look of surprise past his face, he didn't expect him to come outright and say it, he was sort of expecting a lie.
"He's, he's lying" Toph said.
"Soooo, your not Dai Lee or Fire Nation? Then what are you Earth Kingdom?"
Kingdom?!, we were a kingdom? AWSOME. "Wait, how did you know I was lying?" he truly was puzzled by that, how could someone know if you were lying just by looking at you. Seemed like a pretty unreliable source, yet the boy put a lot of trust into it.
"I can see vibrations through earth-bending, I can sense your heartbeat and when people lie their heart beat picks up and the pressure of the blood changes along with subtle changes in the persons stance" she said simply then smirked "Nothing gets passed me"
"Except Azula" the boy snickered that comment earned him a punch.
The voice, she was certainly a girl. Rahak thought for a moment. He realized if she could sense through earth bending then she was obviously and earth bender. This meant that she, and the rest of this group were not part of the Fire Republic, or now the Fire Nation. Good, so I'm safe. Even though he felt a little bit safe it didn't make him feel any better. His weakness
"Ok, now that we both know we are on the sa-"
Sokka cut him off. "No, we don't know anything, you still have some questions to answ-"
This time Rahak cut him off. "Look" he said. He was very tired and now that knew that there was no immediate danger he wanted to end this conversation and go to sleep. "I am not a Fire Republican… sorry I mean I am not part of the Fire Nation. I am an Earth bender and I fight the Fire Nation on a daily basis and I'm guessing you do too. So now that we know we are allies I would like to leave further questions for later because I am extremely exhausted from my last mission"
"He's telling the truth" Toph had said but she did sense something more when the man said 'he fought them on a daily basis'. She decided it was best to let the man sleep. She could feel that his heartbeat was slower than a normal person and he seemed to be trembling slightly. A normal person wouldn't notice but with earth bending it was painfully obvious that this man was on the verge of collapse. "I say we let him be"
"Fine, but stay over there on that platform until we sort things out!" Sokka said angrily.
Sort things out he thought as he raised an eyebrow and looked around. He saw a girl dressed in blue holding a young boy in yellow and orange with a blue arrow. Air Monk? He knew the Monk civilization died out long ago but air benders still lived. They were just more violent now. He looked behind them and saw a man dressed with only red pants, his shirt lay on the floor along with a sheathed sword. He seemed to be injured, he also noticed two people watching him in a scrutinizing manor. It seemed he was very distrusted. He kind of understood what sort things out meant. Someone distrusted was nearby and someone was hurt. He sighed and earth bent himself to another platform. Too tired to care about the fact that the entire structure was upside down. He landed and promptly fell asleep.
