Finally I sat down and typed the next chapter.
I've also got too many ideas going on in my head for other fics
-----------------
Today the schedule was for four more fights, followed by the two semifinals matches, for a total of six matches. Toph and Aang would be fighting in the third and sixth matches.
Team Ourea again annihilated there competition. It was commonly concluded that they would be in the final match. The first team that Aang and Toph fought was actually easier than the one from the day before. But that could not be said about there next match.
"First we have a pair of new comers who have that they are not to be taken lightly: the Blind Bandit and the Bald Brigand." Aang sighed at his fighting name but didn't say anything. Toph entered the ring arms held high to the cheering crowd, Aang followed more gracefully.
"And battling them for a chance at the final match all the way from the Si Wong Desert are the Waste Land Doppelgangers"
Two men in loose fitting tan robes stepped out. They where identical twins and it seemed as though they shared one mind, for when they moved they mirrored each other perfectly.
"Aang something's weird."
"You mean how they're twins? Its not that uncommon."
"Twins…they look blurry, overlapping, but now I know what it is."
"Hun? Wel-"
"Begin."
The twins where quick; dashing forward, and angling to get Toph from the side. A pillar or rock rose up in front of them and exploded but nobody seemed to be there.
Then in a sand spout the two rose up in front of the blind earth bender. Aang threw up a quick wall and dove pulling Toph to the ground with him. The wall burst inward with a hail of rocks.
"Toph, they're changing the ground to sand and traveling threw that."
She felt the ground vibrations and sure enough fuzzy arias snaked around the arena floor.
"Aang keep them busy I have a plan." He nodded just as some rocks flew out of, seemingly, nowhere. These where easily dodged, but kept them unbalanced. Toph felt the fuzzy aria changed and pointed to it. Aang taking the signal sent an earth rift to that point. In return four rocks where launched at him. Aang blocked two of them with his own rocks and dodged the other two. But the ones he blocked disintegrated in a shower of sand blinding him. The doppelgangers came up behind Aang to finish him off but Toph was waiting.
As they came up Toph turned the sand back to stone with just their shoulders out of the ground. Panicking the twins began to change the rock to sand as fast as possible. Toph used her earth bending to make a tunnel out to the trough around the ring and pushed the pug of sand with its passengers down it, and out of the ring.
"And with that original show of earth bending the Bandit and Brigand win!" Aang was getting the sand out of his eyes and Toph was enjoying her victory as the crowd cheered. She gave him an enthusiastic hug around his back witch kind of surprised him. She had already gone back to basking in the applause when Aang turned to her. He could see her smiling, and while he didn't find as much enjoyment in battle as Toph, seeing her in high spirits made him just as cheerful as she was.
They retired to there room at a local inn early that evening their hardest fight would be tomorrow.
