The End (Part 3)
Ignite bounced slightly when he hit the ground. Zeon walked up to him. Ignite's vision was becoming blurred and the wound on his hand was started to open again. He tried to scramble to his feet when he heard Kara scream.
"No!" Kara screamed. Ignite looked up to see Zeon pull back his foot than kick him in the stomach. Ignite fell to the ground landing on his back than rolled by Zeon's forcefully kick to his stomach. Yet again Ignite attempted to get up as pain shot through his body.
"Wretched boy, not even your father could defeat me!" He yelled at Ignite. Zeon lifted Ignite up from his collar. With his free hand he punched Ignite in the face. Ignite yelled as the pain stung his face. Ignite was still in Zeon grasp and he tried to struggle away but Zeon pulled him in closer. "All that is left of him are these scars…that was all he was capable of doing…now if you think you can beat me go ahead a try, it will be the foolish move that will end in your demise," Zeon threatened him. He dropped Ignite and he landed on his back. The wind was knocked out of him for a moment.
"I won't let you hurt my cousin! I won't let you hurt any one again!" Ignite yelled as he swung his fist and hit Zeon in the back of the head. Zeon stumbled forward and turned around clenching his teeth.
"Well than you can stop me once the followers of Azula are finished with you," he said and signaled the men to come forward. Zeon was far out of view before Ignite even took his fighting stance. The men held swords, clubs, and spears. Only a few could actually firebend. Ignite shot the blue fire at them to protect himself but the men stumbled backwards and most of them dropped their stances. They couldn't attack someone who firebends like Azula. Ignite seize this opportunity and bolted for the courtyard. A few men started to chase him but he blasted more fire at them and they retreated.
He vision was blurred and he noticed his hand was bleeding severely and he tasted blood in his mouth. He stumbled as he ran. He turned the corner and saw torches being lit and me with black paint of their faces chanting and cheering. He saw Kara being pushed against a rock that had inscriptions on it. He saw the others being held by large men. Soara was lifted up so her feet couldn't touch the ground. She had no way of earthbending. The men started to paint Kara's face and she couldn't struggle under the force of the men that held her down.
"Oh great spirit of death we bring you a person of destiny so we can see your face before our demise. I take the dagger of the first Sakuran and I shall offer her to you so that you will be pleased with us. Now death show yourself," Zeon said as he raised the dagger into the sky. He was about to slash down on her a sword with a black blade emerged from his stomach and he became pale. He dropped the dagger and his face was filled with pain. Ignite pulled his sword out of Zeon and he was shaking once he realized he just killed someone. Clouds cover the sun and it became eerily dark and quiet outside.
"I told you I wouldn't let you hurt anyone anymore," Ignite said as he closed his eyes. Zeon still stood there in pain as the open through his stomach leaked blood. Lightning shot down to the earth near Ignite. Smoke rose up from the earth and Grim emerged from the smoke. His face was filled with rage as he clenched his teeth. He pulled off his black gauntlet and showed words encrypted on his skin. Zeon saw him and smiled slightly.
"It worked! It's Death!" he cheered. Grim kept walking forward to him with his hand in front of him. He was right behind Zeon before he spoke.
"I am Grim from the Southern Water Tribe! I welcome you to Damnation!" Grim yelled and pushed Zeon with his hand. Zeon fell and hit his head against the ritual rock and landed on the ground bleeding out of his head, stomach and back. "I welcome all of you to Damnation!" he yelled again and touched others in the ritual circle. Many of the started to panic as others fell to the ground for no reason.
"She is not the one to sacrifice!" a man said who held on to Soara. "This girl can also see death sacrifice her!" he yelled and placed Soara on the alter. The General came up and picked up the dagger. Ignite looked at Grim hoping he would stop him. Grim shook his head.
"He isn't meant to die now," he told Ignite. Ignite started to panic once he knew what he had to do. He pulled out one of his swords and swung it high. He looked and saw the Generals head slide off his neck. Grim touched him and he fell to the ground. Ignite ran up to the stone and started to hug Soara. She held on to him as tightly as she could and started to cry. Grim touched a few more people before the evil people fled the city.
"Thank you," Soara mumbled into Ignite's chest. Kara started to hug them too. Gyo and Ali joined in. lightning struck again and grim disappeared. They stood there huddled together as the rain poured down on them. They had won but Ignite didn't feel victorious. Aramadais put his shoulder on Ignite as he appeared from the shadows.
"We are all okay and that is what matters," Armadais said to comfort the friends. Ignite started to cry. E turned to look Armadais in the yes.
"I killed Zeon out of revenge," he admitted and started to walk away feeling guilty. Soara ran up and started to hug him again.
"But you fought for us," she told him. He smiled and hugged her back. He placed his head near her ear.
"I fought for you," he told her.
