Chapter 7

The Wind Dementor

I awoke on the same rooftop and saw the dark sky and Joshua laying beside me unconcious. I felt a cold wind blowing over me and saw that there was a strong wind blowing over the whole city. Then I noticed a dark figure walking towards the gates and the two guards stopping him. I saw him laugh and flick his gloved hand causing the two guards to blow away and the solid metal gates to brake open. My eyes widened as I shook Joshua awake.

"Joshua! Look he's Air Bending!" Joshua sat up and saw the dark figure walk into the city and many guards and warriors trying to stop him, but the man easily blew all the guards away with his superior Air Bending skills. I knew something had to be done so I stood up and got in the position to jump very far off the rooftop. "What are you doing?" Joshua asked me. "I'm gonna stop him. You should help too he's gonna destroy the people in this town. I got a plan just go wait by the shore and prepare to use some powerful Water Bending and I'll lead him there." Joshua nodded and jumped from rooftop to rooftop in the direction of the harbor.

I leaped off the rooftop with a lot of force and surrounded my body with fire as I came down on the dark hooded figure with a flaming fist. I caught him by surprise, but he summoned a powerful gust of wind to block it and I flew back into the ground. "Surrender before I have to destroy you you dirty Fire Bender." I smirked as I stood up and got into stance to jump away quickly. "Hahahah you seem powerful and I think you'd be a fair match for me Air Bender." I held out my hands and a ball of fire began to swirl in them and I blasted fire so hot at him that when he deflected it it melted the ground partly. He jumped into the air and drew a sword and began to swirl like a tornado and spun down at me with the sword slashing at me. I held out my hands and made the sword melt into liquid metal and he dropped the handle before he was burnt.

I jumped at him and heated the air around me so I could partly fly and began to fight with him in the air moving in the direction of the harbor. We occasionally landed on a roof top and completely destroyed the building then jumped off and continued to battle in the air until we were close enough to the harbor and both rather tired. When I touched down on the beach the sand under my feet turned to glass and quickly broke. The Air Bender landed infront of me and was breathing heavily. "What a challenge you are Fire Bender. It will be a shame for you to fall after putting up such a good fight."

I smirked and prepared to jump away very quickly then yelled "Joshua now!" and the Air Bender looked confused. Joshua created a giant wave that rose very high and before it crashed down I jumped as high as I could off the beach. The wave came down on the Air Bender and pulled him back out to sea where Joshua had complete control of the situation. Joshua captured the Air Bender in an orb of water and trapped him inside. The Air Bender was trying to pull air into the ball so he could escape, but failed to do so. Joshua used all his might and threw the orb as far and as deep as he could into the sea. "A job well done Joshua." "Thanks Zack I'd say our work here is done now." I nodded in agreement and landed on the beach where Joshua was.

After a good nights rest in the local inn and a feast of a breakfast we set off from Oganowa to continue on our journey. "What a beautiful morning wouldn't you agree Zack?" I said nothing my mind was deep in thought about our bending powers and the necklaces. "Zack?" "What..Oh! Yeah sure it's a great morning." He looked at me with concerned eyes. "What's the matter?"

I looked up at him and said "I just can't stop thinking about our powers from these necklaces. I mean if you and I have complete mastery of Water and Fire Bending don't you think there might be some other people out there with the same type of necklaces and powers over Air and Earth Bending?" Joshua took a few moments to comprehend that possibility and replied "Well if there are others like us then they might join us and together we can change the world for the better."

This never occurred to me. We have powers that not even the Avatar would have possessed. We're basically all powerful beings now and we could take over the world with ease if we wanted to. I sighed. "Well that does seem possible. We are basically some of the strongest benders in existence right now just because of these necklaces." Joshua nodded and was silent after that. We both walked down the long winding road towards the Earth Nation Capital visiting villages and helping where we could.
