(Kari's voice) Previously we arrived in Australia to find an earth bending teacher for Davis. We were looking for this cave that were lead us to a secret village, but Davis and I got separated from the others. Apparently this cave was created by two people in love and we all manage to find a way out without the others knowing our little secret.
Chapter 11: Rock N Rock
The digidestine looked around the village trying to find an earth bending teacher for Davis.
"This place is more like a town then a village." Yolei said.
"How are we going to find an earth bending teacher?" Cody said.
"Easy look for people that throw rocks." Davis said.
"Well that narrows it down to everyone." Tai said.
"It won't be easy, we're surrounded by earth. An earth bender can use its skills anywhere." Ross said.
"Help!"
"What was that?" Kari said.
"It came from over there." Sora said and when they turned around the corner and saw a store owner being robbed.
"Alright just make it easy and hand over the money." The thief said.
"We got to help him." Matt said.
"Really, just one." They all saw a muscular tan man with long black hair and the outfit of the earth bender nation.
"Oh man not you." The thief said. The guy slammed his foot against the ground and a rock from the ground slammed against the thief's chest. The thief ran in with a knife, but the man slid his foot causing the thief to slide into a store selling fruit.
"Did you see that?" Tai said.
"No doubt about it, that guy is an earth bender." Sora said.
"He's my teacher no doubt about it." Davis said. "Hey!" Davis ran up to him, but the man surrounded himself in a dust cloud and vanished. "Hey where'd he go?" They all walked around the village trying to find that man.
"Man where could he have gone?" Yolei said.
"If only we knew who he was." Kari said.
"Did you see those moves?"
"Yeah no wonder he's the greatest in the village with the way he used the earth." They heard two boys talking about the man.
"Hey who was that guy, do you know where he is?" Davis said.
"He lives on mount Noneof. None of your business." One said and they both walked away laughing.
"I've got this." Sora said. "Hey strong man." Sora said running after them.
"Strong man, what does she think of me?" Matt said.
"I never pictured you as the jealous type." Ross said.
"I'm not jealous, that's Davis's thing with my brother." Matt said.
"I found out. His name is Rogrif Alazark." Sora said. "Not only is he an earth bender, but the richest person in the village."
"How did you get those guys to tell you?" T.K. said.
"Oh a girl has her ways." Sora said with one against a wall and the other hanging on ceiling by his underwear. Sora got directions to where he lived and was just outside the village. "There's his house."
"House you mean mansion." Ross said as they faced a mansion surrounded by a wall with security.
"How are we going to get in? I doubt those guards are just going to let us in." Ken said.
"Or will they?" Davis said as he had an idea.
….
Rogrif
Rogrif was out in an open field practicing his earth bending.
"Rogrif lunch is about ready." His wife called out.
"Yes dear I'll be right there." Rogrif said and one of the guards came by.
"Sir you have visitors." The guard said.
"Who thinks they are so important they can come to my home unannounced?" Rogrif said.
"A boy who claims to be the Avatar and his friends." The guard said. That shocked Rogrif and let them in. When Davis and the others entered they were all having lunch with Rogrif and his family.
"This is my wife Joanna and my sons. My 7 year old son Rocky and my 10 year old son Jeff." Rogrif said.
"It's nice to meet all of you." Sora said.
"I have heard of the Avatar, but I thought he was just a legend." Rogrif said.
"Really he's an earth bender, but he thought the Avatar was a myth?" Ross said.
"So Avatar Davis to what do I owe this unexpected visit." Rogrif said.
"Well I need to learn all four elements and earth bending is the only one left." Davis said.
"So you've mastered the other three?" Rogrif said.
"Not water I'm having trouble with that one, but I need I thought….."
"I would teach you earth bending." Rogrif finished for Davis. "I would be honored to teach you."
"Really, great!" Davis said. They headed out to an open field.
"Earth bending is the element of sturdiness. You must maintain your stance, don't let anyone push you around. The same goes for rocks." Rogrif said.
"How?" Davis said.
"Like this." Rogrif said as he slammed his foot on the ground causing a rock to rise up and he pounded it to the wall. "You must face it head on."
"Now that's what I would call rock headed." Ross said.
"Alright show me what you got." Rogrif said.
"Okay, but this is my first time earth bending." Davis said.
"That's fine." Rogrif said and brought out a rock from the ground. "Now try and move it. Remember face it head on." Davis spread his legs and thrust his arms causing the rock to move and hit the wall leaving a trail in the ground.
"Wow I did it." Davis said.
"On the first try." Rogrif said.
"Well Davis always does face things head on." Ross said.
"Let me try this again." Davis said as he slammed his foot on the ground and thrust his arms forward causing the ground to open up wide.
"Let me see that again." Rogrif said.
"Okay." Davis said as he did the same thing.
"There's a problem." Rogrif said.
"What's that he did it great?" Ross said.
"You have the power, but you lack in control. As I said earth is the element of sturdiness." Rogrif said. "If you cannot control it then you will harm others."
"So how do I control it?" Davis said. Rogrif just slid a jug of sand in front of him.
"Basic earth bending training. Pound the sand until I can figure out how you can control the power." Rogrif said and Davis started pounding away.
"How does pounding sand help in earth bending?" Ross said.
"I don't know, but I'm gonna keep doing it until I get it." Davis said.
"You're pretty serious about this." Ross said.
"I can't even do water bending, I'm gonna try hard to get this." Davis said.
"Well okay when you want to practice your water bending too let me know." Ross said and walked away. Davis tried hard to get control of his bending, but he couldn't control his bending.
"Come on rocks work with me here." Davis said.
"You must be stronger than I thought to lift rocks with your feet." He turned and saw Kari walk towards him.
"Oh hey Kari. You think I'm strong." Davis said flexing his muscles.
"I'm just joking Davis. I know it's your earth bending." Kari said. "Listen I want to talk about what happened in the cave."
"Oh the cave." Davis said knowing what they were talking about.
"I was wondering what does it mean for us." Kari said.
"I don't know, I hope it's something good." Davis said.
"Maybe we should later I mean you have work to do." Kari said.
"You brought it up." Davis said. "Anyway I have it, but I can't seem to control the power."
"The power?" Kari said.
"Rogrif said that if I don't control it then I'll hurt others." Davis said.
"I'm sure you can get it." Kari said placing her hand on his shoulder. Rogrif saw that and had an idea. Davis continued practicing his earth bending with the others watching until Rogrif came out.
"Hey Rogrif. I can't seem to control that power." Davis said.
"I think I have an idea for that." Rogrif said.
"Really what?" Davis said. Rogrif stomped the ground and launched a rock from the ground and the edge hit Davis. "What are you doing?"
"You need to learn how to control you power. This will help." Rogrif said as he brought out two stone disk and tossed them at Davis, but he jumped between them.
"Dude have you lost your mine?" Ross said.
"Stop or you could hurt him." Kari said.
"Attack me Davis, use your earth bending." Rogrif said. Davis pounded the ground creating a rock wave, but Rogrif was able to jump over it and the others felt the vibrations.
"Davis be careful." Yolei said.
"Sorry I'm trying." Davis said. Rogrif threw some rocks and rolled one bolder towards Davis, but he managed to move out of the way. Davis launched fire, but Rogrif created a rock shield.
"Don't use any of your other bendings. Use earth bending." Rogrif said. He pushed his stone wall, but Davis was able to shatter it and slammed his fist on the ground creating an earthquake.
"Davis take it easy." Tai said.
"You need to control you power or else you're going to hurt your own friends." Rogrif said.
"I'm trying here." Davis said. He stomped his feet causing earthquakes. "I can't stop it, it's too much."
"Davis hold on." Kari said as she tried to get to him.
"Kari stay back I can't walk without causing an earthquake." Davis said. Kari tried to reach for him, but ended falling in an opening and got stuck.
"I'm stuck I can't get out." Kari said.
"Kari hold on." Davis said as he ran to her, but the opening was closing in on her and she was in pain.
"Davis you'll crush her you need to get control of you power." Rogrif said.
"I'm trying." Davis said. He saw Kari was getting hurt and couldn't take it. "Enough!" He created a vibration that stopped all of it.
"Try earth bending her out of there." Rogrif said. Davis opened up the ground and got her out. Then ran to her and placed her in his arms. "Are you alright?"
"I think so." Kari said.
"There, I knew if your friends were in danger than you could control you power." Rogrif said. "You're an earth bender now."
