Forgive me, because I can't write a fight scene worth crap. Plus this is a ten year old girl and twelve year old boy in an alley way outside of a party...
There might be other fight scenes in the future, but I think this might be the only scene with two benders going at each other.
It wasn't really part of Jinora's character to start fights with her brother and sister, so starting a fight with a random earthbending street urchin seemed to be the last thing someone like her would do. Yet here she was, in a fighting stance, seeing mini rocks joining her opponent's side. The first thing that she noticed was his stance. She heard traditional works on Earth Bending, and most, if not all techniques required a solid stance. This also included strong moves with enough mass and power to bring to mind Earth itself, yet somehow able to land back with grace. Of course, when he started moving, it was a different story. He was unusually light on his feet for the earth benders she had read about.
It was hard to say who was at an advantage at the moment. Normally, Jinora thought her own agility would give her an edge, but she never really did any kind of face off against any other kind of bender, none the less fighting in an alleyway and trying to keep as quiet as possible. How old were those scrolls again? Jinora didn't have time to think as a chunk of rock the size of her fist came towards her face at an alarming speed. She managed to avoid that one, but had her work cut out for her avoiding the ones that came straight after.
The thing that probably bothered her the most about this was the smug look on the boy's face. "Not gonna fight me?" he asked.
"I don't fight if I don't have to." Jinora shot back, jumping rather high as a much larger rock came toward her. She was able to make it, but her book was nowhere to be seen. She gasped. The very book she took care of much like she would a child, was now under that rock, it's spine being crushed by the mass. She could feel her face get red, her cheeks burning and her heart pulsing. Nobody crushed one of her books like that! "And now I have to." she said, restraining the anger in her voice. That anger went into the air slice she was able to make in his direction. This would have been much easier with her glider.
He wasn't letting up, much to Jinora's frustration. Air formed a ball in her hands and she waisted no time in shooting it. It was a mirror of what the boy was doing earlier, but she was shooting air instead. Believe it or not, balls of air could have a certain effect on a person, and could really hurt if they were used in a situation like this one.
Jinora thought things were doing well, but then he had to pull up a wall in front of himself. The wall wasn't that high but it reached to where she couldn't squeeze through it. "That all you got sweetheart?" He said, followed by shooting earth discs at her. "Back to avoiding and evading." Jinora became cross as the discs came at a faster pace than the rocks. She tried to look for a weakness, any pattern she could disturb. The situation was that she was avoiding earth discs that came after her no matter where she was. She could dodge as much as she wanted , but she didn't know how much of a move she could do.
But she wasn't going to give up. This was her first fight and she wanted to learn as much as she could from it. Plus for some reason, she didn't want him to win. May it be the spirit of competition or how Jinora never left anything unfinished, or how smug the boy looked before their match, she really wanted him to lose.
She soon had an idea. If she could get high enough, and behind that wall, it would be too much of a hassle to shoot from behind him, and she'd do something by the time he got up a new wall. Now that she had some kind of idea formed, all she needed was an opportunity to attack.
Conveniently enough, he was getting tired and actually stopped for longer than he normally would. In that moment, Jinora formed a big enough ball of air to scooter on and got over the wall. Without waisting any time, Jinora gave a huge push of air, knocking the boy over to the wall "You know, for someone who talks up a storm, you're not very good" She said. Jinora actually giggled after saying that. She wasn't one for taunting unless it had to do with Korra's obvious crush on her cute firebending friend but that was romantic and not in an actual fight. Jinora, on her high of competitive happiness, went over to the boy just to see his condition.
What she got was more than his condition. "But of course, I win in the end." He said, another smug look on his face. What was he even talking about? "Unless you don't want this to be used as fire feed." Jinora gasped as she saw what exactly he was mentioning in fire feed. Her book. Her over 200 year old book was now being carelessly handled. She reached for it, but he banged the already damaged treasure against the wall, cracking the spine. "I hold the cards now sweetheart" again with that smug look. "You can either pay me for this and let me go or ... that's it. Because I'm more than willing to get a few hours of fire out of this. " He said.
Yep. Not a real cliff-hanger but whatever. Sorry this took a while, but R&R anyway~
