Chapter 4: The Grand Show-off!
"Open the Arena!" commanded King Bumi. Three earthbenders opened the doors to a large arena, almost the size of a football field! The arena seemed familiar to Aang. He fought Bumi once when he was captured by the earth kingdom. Katara, Sokka, Momo, and Haru sat on the audience seats together watching with horror.
"This is not good." worried Sokka.
"Don't worry Sokka" said Katara "He has defeated Bumi once, he can do it again."
"Yes but did he fall on the ground?" asked Sokka.
"Aang and you guys believed in me when I fought back there." said Haru "Now it's my turn to help him."
"Now." said Bumi staring at Aang "Let's dance!" Bumi stomped his foot with all might and made a stone pillar and pushed it straight toward Aang at high speed. The pillar smashes on Aang sending him flying toward the back of the room. He quickly arose.
"Bumi, I don't understand. I don't want to fight you!" said Aang trying to persuade him.
"I will capture you even if I need to kill you!" he shouted. He rose three spires from the ground and hurled them toward Aang again. He quickly evaded the spikes and dashed toward Bumi. Aang threw an air ball toward Bumi but the puff of air just wore off of Bumi's large, old, strong muscles.
"Your air tricks won't work this time, boy!" said Bumi while he raised his hand, levatating two boulders. He hurled them both toward Aang but he evaded them again. But then he made a mudslide with his feet which trapped Aang.
Bumi laughed at Aang "Well seems like that this was much easier than I thought." he said. Aang put some pressure in the trapped ground he was in and he broke the ground where he was. "Grrr... You have irritated me for the last time, Airbender!" Bumi's hands and raised, rising a giant boulder. Aang swifted his feet on the ground creating a gust of wind with incredible power on the ground, tripping Bumi and dropping the boulder. He also gathered some sand with his airball and hurled it at Bumi's face blinding him.
"Argh!" screamed Bumi. He rised many rocks and spires and threw them toward Aang. He split the ground in many places and created many spires from the ground and rised them. Aang was close to being hit and injured. Bumi rised one last giant boulder, but then Aang saw some water on the ground. Aang could waterbend since he had learned Katara's techniques. Aang gathered some water and preformed the Water Whip on Bumi. Apparently it was too late. Bumi hurled the boulder straight toward Aang at a very high velocity.
