-Flashback

The whole capital is empty, no markets, no activity, no nothing.. people shield inside their houses hiding away, Its this time..

Only a few voices are made infront of the palace, some horses arriving in the palace, some equipments, some men whispering.. that's all..

The Pharaoh sits his high throne surrounded by his officials.. They look down at the getting ready Fighters..

Aknaden geared up with two of his followers, he looks up at his brother who looks extremely worried.. "The rumors are True brother, aren't they?" He asks knowing it won't reach the recipient.. but his doubts are proven in an instant..

Two Kyoshi warriors with no armor, no jewelry in very simple Womanly tonics and scarfs over their heads, with only their fans as their weapons walk into the palace grounds.. Two faces Aknaden can never miss.. But its unbelievable.. The Queen of Egypt Edna her self is Participating in this Fight?!.. she already has the highest position in All of Egypt.. what could she possibly want to prove..

And of course her Shadow, Esmeralda although she is only here obeying orders.. but she is a Problem herself.. her abilities cannot be taking lightly.. She masters Water, Earth and Fire.. not to mention the Summonings..

This Fight's result is very predictable if The Queen goes all out!.. she is with no doubt the Strongest in this fields..

Aknaden Thinks all of this locking eyes with Edna who only smiles knowing what is going through his mind..

All is silent watching the announcers head to his station..

"The Competition For the Pharaoh's War Commander position shall commence..

The whole city is the fighting ground..

All shall fight to Death.. or surrender and be shamed for life!

All Is Allowed..

Only one shall Prevail the Victor..

That is all, May the gods be with you"

The announcer lists the very short, simple, Clear rules and signals the Honks to go off and mark the beginning..

Even longer, terrible silence surround all The 5 competitors and their followers a total of 11 on the Field Will Fight till death.. Edna Keeps her eyes fixated on Aknaden who does the same neither of them moving..

One of the competitors with his enormous build and puffed hands holding an axe.. "Hahaha.. Isn't it funny, Women in a Fight like this?.. All right gentlemen.. Lets make a deal.. we rid of these wonna be bitches, Then the real Fight may begin.."

Edna's eyes leave Aknaden shifting to the speaker without moving a Muscle..

"Ohh, Don't look at me like that love, There is only Two places for your Kind.. In the kitchen Making dinner.. Or in bed with your legs spread for my pleasure!"

"I agree with bird Brain.. Lets finish them!" Another competitor steps forward eyeing everyone reviving all nods and agreement.. only Aknaden holds his answer

"Master, This could be the only way we could take down her Highnesses.. considering Everything.." One of his followers whispers..

"Take the deal, we will have good chance" the other continues trying to convincing him..

"Have you both gone mad?!.. she is the Queen" he whispers back to them angrily

"No Master! not down here, she joined knowing the Rules very well"..

"Fine, This is all just child play for her anyway" Akmaden finally agrees and nods to the other competitors..

Edna only smiles her eyes scanning them and the Area around as they all start drawing closer..

"Haha, this should be Fun.. Ready Esmeralda?.. On my mark!... SCATTER".. they both take position and start running in two different directions at Edna's mark.. Their competitors split into two teams.. Aknaden makes sure to be on the team behind Edna.. still with mixed feelings..

"23, 24, 25, 26, 27.. Right here.." Edna stops in a single spot right in the front of the city and starts bending for 5 minutes..

Behind her two of the groups that followed her, only 4 men..

"You are mine now, I shall marry you and punish you for entering this fight.." speaks the puffed man again..

"Ahahaha! Catch me first boy"

"Boy???! Get her!!!"

She disappears from sight as her shadow shows on the floor Huge over them making the Puffed man fall and stare hardly as she now stands on a building her figure centers the sun, her hair flies infront of her hiding her features..

"A bender! This won't be easy" one of the men stands back watching her be on her way again..

They run to follow her, she bends after counting another 27, now in the center of the city.. but this time they keep their distance, they start to feel unexpected weather changes which they can't pay attention to now..

"Enough with this Chase.. I won't be playing these games.." One of the competitions have had enough and draws out his swards headed towards her.. she walks calmly towards the Nile..

"Haha!! No where to run now eh?!" All launch after him trapping her, she finally Opens her Fan and starts bending water from underneath her attackers who panic at the fact that she can control more than one element.. but no time for a reaction.. they are placed inside Water bubble traps depriving them from breathing, she stars forcing the bubbles upwards increasing the pressure and shrinking their size..

"Surrender please!! This is not worth your lives" she looks up to them with her hands held above her head trying to talk some sense into them.. they all look at each other out of breath and start raising their hands asking for mercy..

Blue smoke emits from the palace meaning their surrender request was accepted..

She lets them down with a water splash, all of them coughing water out of their lungs cursing their loss as she watches all of them are very much alive..

She crosses the Nile walking on water Ready to stand her friend's side!

-Aknaden's group

"She is not even using a fraction of what she is capable of and she took town Egypt's mightiest warriors.. she even forced them to surrender their pride!" Aknaden looks both of his men who look back at him in fear and worry..

"At least She red us of 4 competitors"..

"Oh don't get so optimistic.. to her we are next" Aknaden cuts his younger follower's any positive thought he had..

"What are you trying to prove Edna?!"

Aknaden whispers to him self, also headed to the other side of the Nile..

-Esmeralda's side

"27.. perfect" it takes Esmeralda twice as long to complete the bending.. as Air is not her specialty.. but she finished right when her enemies arrived at full power, she only takes the offense and keep dodging, her priority is the next agreed on spot which she reaches after a short swards fight..

As she starts to bend in her second spot she founds her self cornered..

She only smiles performing two bendings at the same time.. first the air in the spot, the second after drawing water from the soil underneath and the air around she creates an octopus shaped water circle around her self giving her the upper hand against another 4 of the competitors who are knocked one after the other losing their weapons in the process..

This continues for 10 minutes until her task is done

She eyes Aknaden and his followers who made no moves until now.. she opens her fan ready to engage, that's when Edna arrives taking the same position as her Friend and follower..

"Is it ready, love" Edna whispers under her fan to her friend

"Are You doubting me?" Esmeralda raises an eyebrow eyes sharp on the opponent..

"Ahaha, never!.."

The silence returns once again before the most fierce swards Fight known to Egypt commence at Edna's mark "CHARGE!!" And continues for a good intense while.. until one of competitors grab Esmeralda with a sward to her neck holding her in place threatening..

"One move and you'll have her head"

"Edna.. NOW" ..

She Answers her friend's request at once and swifts both of their fans in their direction her eyes shine bright light once and the tip of her fans unleashing 4 sand tornados from 4 diff angles.. exactly 27 sprints away.. manifesting her great power and early planning..

All are sent away with the tornados stoping at the palace grounds dropping them where they first started..

The Pharaoh stands to his feet!! "Why did you have to use THAT?!" He whispers to himself as More worry show on his face gulping..

Aknaden only had time to shield himself behind a Building, But has the time to grab Esmeralda again before its over..

He tightened his grab Eying Edna..

"Esmeralda... surrender.. I will not gamble you!" Edna orders Making her Friend only look down in defeat and raises her hand to be accepted shortly making Aknaden let go of her roughly..

"Only me and you, sister in law!"

"Indeed brother.."

Air fly between them ruffling their hair and clothes as they charge.. Edna uses her air bending to dodge, fire to attack, water to distract and earth to counter attack..

Aknaden fights with all his might knowing his chances are slim to none.. he charges an attack after another.. But Edna seems to have grown sick of his useless tries..

she pins both his legs down with earth bending making him fall and pins his hands too bowing to her.. his own sward now is aimed to his neck.. and awaits..

"Do it! I will not surrender my pride Queen!"

He raises his head gasping to the sound of smoke coming from distance..

"I know you wouldn't.. I won't be creating life and taking another.." She releases Aknaden as she turns around walking towards her Friend waving and Smiling widely as she draws closer with the other hand on her stomach..

Flashback ends..

"Whattt??? Why on Ra's Earth would she surrender?? HOW could she throw that position?!"

"Ahaha, Easy now Prince!" Esmeralda looks at those same familiar eyes full of excitement and confusion..

"Her point was proven loud and clear,

Not only can Kyoshies Fight but also Win.. since then we were treated differently.. Respected even feared..

Plus she wasn't going to kill her own child's uncle, she spent the rest of that day tending to the warriors after the tornado.. such contradiction.." she laughs at her friend's actions with hand on her head in disbelief only making the young man infront of her laugh as well..

"As a matter of Fact, She wanted to have some real fun.. before her due date.. she knew her powers were never going to be the same!" She looked up towards the temple that holds her name and face..

"I came with that much of a price eh?" She noticed the sadness creeping up to on the young man.. he enjoys the fact that he is spending time with his godmother, and she is telling him stories of his mother that he never had a chance to know.. and he appreciates it.. but he can't help blame himself as well.. she brings him out of his thoughts..

"And she would do it a million times again only to hold you between her arms.." she smiles at him with a hand on his face taking in the assembly... reviving a sad smile she knows she can never compensate..

"I see you have been spending time with Etmu" she raises an eyebrow making him gulp

"Uhh, Yes.. uhh..I have" he answers smiling awkwardly..

"And your wedding less than a week isn't it!" Her words are still strong and demanding

"Yes, madam!" He laughs it off failing to hide his discomfort..

"All right.." she looks the other may narrowing her eyes..

"What is that suppose to mean?!" Atem stands his ground annoyed by her questioning..

"It means you are an Engaged man To be Married to A Greek Princess..who is fooling around with another girl!"

"I am not fooling around!! I am making friends!! Is that such a sin??" He exclames as fast as he hears the accusations..

"To me its not.. But to her Royalty IS Cheating.." he freezes to her answers but she only gets up and leaves finishing his training leaving him to think..

His mind only travels to the poor Princess who hasn't found a solution to her dilemma yet.. their date is getting closer, he must act soon..

-later that day..

The Prince stands the Palace balcony enjoying the view, the air, the peace.. besides him stands a messenger Hawk who waits his orders patiently..

Atem ties a small scroll to one of its feet and sends it away whispering close to it his orders.. and sends it on its way..

The Pharaoh enters the balcony slowly and calmly, welcomed by his son..

"Such a beautiful evening isn't it?.."

He awaits no answer but gives another question..

"Wish to ask something Prince?" Knowing well his son is hiding something..

"Actually I do Father, I wish to take the Greek-Egyptian relations into my own hands.. If your Majesty don't mind.." He asks hesitantly but in respect..

"I don't my son.. but why so Suddenly?" the father asks in confusion wishing to get a hold of what goes in his son's head.. and yet not sure if that is exactly what he wanted to say..

"I will Marry their only daughter and only Princess.. Its the least I can do.." he says with a fake smile hoping to get the approval..

Akmankanen only nods in agreement making his son bow in gratitude..
