The room is Quiet as the men and women in the crowd watch as Councilman Sokka take the stand.

" In my years i've encountered people born with rare and unique bending abilities." he pauses for a brief moment,
" I once bested a man with my trusty bommerang," Sokka stops again to brandish an almost exact replica of the boomerang before the men and women, "a man who was able to fire bend...with his MIND."

The crowd remains silent still as Sokka turns his attention toward Police Chief Toph Bei Fong.
"why, even metal-bending was considered impossible for all of history, until our esteemed chief of police, Toph Bie Fong,
single handidly developed the skill."

Sokka directs his attention back at the attendies in the court room.
" The overwhelming amount of testimony and evidence has convinced this council that Yakone, is one of these unique benders."
"And he exploited his ability to commit these heinous crimes."

"We find Yakone, Guilty of all charges, and sentence him to life in prison." at this, the gavel is dropped.
Yukone's attorney crumples up his paper and tosses it while Yakone himself begins to stand.

Toph begins to make her way over towards him when all of a sudden she stops dead in her stares her down intensily and it becomes all to clear to the audience that Yukone is indeed a blood-bender. Sokka thinking light on his feet jumps over the bench he was previously standing behind bommerang gripped in his palm.

one good throw, that was all he needed. He wound his arm back and released. as his arm sprung forward, his wrist flicked and the boomerang left his palm. Not a second too late either as he could alreadyfeel the crippling crushing feeling of Yakone's gaze fall upon him. His arms and legs twisted and bent, his back contorted. If he'd ever thought he'd been in pain before, it certainly compared little to watched the boomerang as it flew toward Yukone and subsequentyl he watched as it whizzed right on past him, nearly colliding with Avatar Aang as he frustratingly attempted to bend any element he could at Yakone with no avail.

Sokka cursed inwardly as he felt his stomach wrench and knot up. there was no doubt about it, Yakone was going to kill them all then and there. Almost instantly as everything had began, Sokka suddenly regained control of his own body once again, dropping to his knees and taking in a large gasp of air. Hopping up off the ground, he looked up to see Yakone flat on the ground Sokka's trusty boomerang lying not too far from Yakones head.

Toph, along with the other Metal-benders present, were quick to regain their ground and were on top of Yakone in a flash. Before sokka knew it, Yakone had been restrained in what looked like hundreds of metal bands and coils.

Avatar Aang was quick to trap Yakone in a pocket of whirling air, one which Yakone would be unlikely to escape from or have enough time to concentrate on bending others to his will.

The look in Aangs eyes is almost terrifying as he reaches through the pocket of gusty wind with both hands, placing one on Yakones forhead, specifically the thumb of his right hand, and the other on his sternum."Im taking away your bending, For Good!" and with that Aangs eyes and arrow tattoos begin to glow. in a split second he removes his hands as well as released Yakone from his prison of air.

Stepping back, Aang gives Sokka and Toph both a looked of sorrow and of slight triumph, " Its over."
