Tokka Week 5 Day 3: Plan of Attack

"Ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to the Rumble Pit! I am your host for tonight's main event. A thirty versus two, the battle will consist of the thirty best Rumble Pit fighters against The Blind Bandit and Socks 'McGee' O'Hoolihan. But you might ask, 'Why doesn't Rumble 'Bones' Jones fight too?'. Well have no fear, for I am fighting along side my companions. We don't aim to disappoint here at the Rumble Pit."

"Alright Toph let's go over the plan one more time." Sokka laid down a sketch of the arena floor.

"I'll make a dome around us."

"Right, and using two of my swords you metal bend them to my forearms."

"After doing that, I explode the dome and kick up a dust storm."

"And using my special goggles I used to cross Si Wong Desert, I start my attack."

"On my half I'll cast up hundreds of columns shifting the battle higher up away from most of the earth on the arena floor."

"Now for the coup de gras if you will ha ha..."

"We need to leave now." the man at the door said.

"Alright one second please." Sokka answered and he took Toph into his arms. "Hey."

"Hi." she blushed, it was like meeting Sokka for the first time again.

"You're hurt, so don't push yourself to hard okay?" she nodded. "I wouldn't know what to do if I lost you. I've lost so much already."

"We've lost so much already, I'm part of your life now." she corrected with a smile.

"Right." he patted her hair. "I love you."

"I love you too." a small tear ran down her cheek and landed on the slate floor.

"Now, we have to leave now." the man at the door protested.

"Let's go kick some ass." and Sokka lead Toph out the door.

"Well John, this has to be the best fight we should see in our life time."

"No doubt Cao, but I'm more worried for the Bandit, let's not forget she got hit hard on the side yesterday to win the belt."

"I have an inkling that the injury will play a major role in how this fight plays out. And here comes The Blind Bandit and Socks 'McGee' O'Hoolihan, Socks holding up the Bandit's belt, and it seems the crowd here is giving the duo a rough time."

"A lot of boo's and jeers. I think that man below us said he might join in the battle royal."

"I think security has everything under control. The audience is now throwing objects at the Blind Bandit, and fortunately Socks is rushing to get to the middle of the ring to get his wife in a safer place."

"Look at how Socks is armed. I'm counting six swords sheathed down his back. Two at hip, daggers strung across his chest, and studded gloves and leather armlets. Geez, that is one scary looking fella."

"Many say that Socks bears a major resemblance to Sokka, the Water Tribe hero who helped the Avatar with end the Hundred Year War."

"I don't think so Cao, I've seen Sokka, he's much scrawnier than Socks. Man, Socks' arms look like iron rods. I can't think of anyone better to have on my side for a fight like this."

"Of course Socks' major draw back is that he can't bend."

"Right Cao, a major fault, but think of all that skill it takes to get this far without having the ability. A right Socks has earned."

"Here comes the opposition. The thirty man team is lead by Sammy 'Sunny Side Up' Biggola and Rumble 'Bones' Jones. This match is a title defense for the Bandit, if she loses, Sammy gains back his title."

"Boy, does Sammy look roughed up! His face is still a pulp from his last fight with the Bandit, who landed multiple hits on him."

"John, who do you think is going to this fight?"

"The betting man has to give it to the side with the numbers, but..."

"But you feel that The Blind Bandit and Socks will win?"

"I do Cao. I can't put my feeling on it, as if some benevolent being is watching over those two today."

"Well, the Socks and The Blind Bandit will defiantly need some divine intervention to survive this fight."

DING

"And the fight is under way! The thirty man team has circled around Team Bandit, and The Blind Bandit was raised up a massive dome covering herself and Socks."

"An impressive strategy, and that is how this battle will play down to, strategy."

"The dome has exploded open! A massive shock wave rattles through the stadium and the crowd goes nuts. A dust cloud has kicked up blocking our vision of the battle."

"I feel we are missing the fight of the millennium here. I wish I knew what's happening down there..."

"Wait a minute daddy."

"Wait? This is your bedtime story and you want me to wait?"

"Yeah, how does this have to due with you and mommy having me?"

"I'm getting to that part, patience Kya darling."

"Fine." Kya pouted and crossed her arms.

"Where was I?" he put a finger to his beard.

"You were just about to start what you did during the dust storm daddy."

"Oh right. Thanks sweet pea." he got up to re-enact the scene. "There I was. In the midst of a giant dust storm. Mom is whipping it real well, but thanks to my..."

"Goggles!" she shouted as her enjoyment with saying the word excited her.

"Right my goggles, I could see. So with the swords bended to my armlets I rushed forward slashing wildly into the dust." Sokka mimicked the 'wild slashing' by flailing his arms in every which way. "I managed to cut about 5 bad guys this way. I had to dodge boulders the size of you!" he pointed at Kya who dragged the sheets up to her chin in fright.

"Me?" she asked.

"Yes you. I went to where the rocks where being shot from and it's this big ol' guy. He's huge!" Sokka said this while outstretching his arms to depict the man's hugeness. Kya whispered wow as Sokka went on, "I crept up around back, sneaking quietly so he won't hear me, I raised my swords over my head and -"

"Sokka! What are you doing!"

"Honey... I was telling Kya how you had her..." Sokka was hunkered down 'sneaking' with his hands over his head helping Kya imagine the story.

"How we had her." Toph corrected.

"No, no, no. How you," emphasis on 'you', "had her."

"Well, quit talking about you then. Instead talk of me."

"But I don't know what you did."

"Kya, sweetness?"

"Yes, mommy."

"Ignore your pig-headed father of yours, and let me tell the story." Kya giggled and clapped gleefully in amazement, as now she has two story tellers telling the same story.

"While your father was busy being a barbarian, I, on the other hand was being a masterful tactician, all the while being injured. As the dust cloud settled down ..."

"Oh, wait, the dust cloud is settling down, John, it appears we will see this fight unfurl."

"Cao, I literally just pissed myself in excitement."

"You should really get a change? Folks, this fight is a doozie, Socks has appeared to have bent two swords around his arms making his arm's ends killing machines."

"Man, he is really talented with those swords, a master no doubt."

"It seems like Socks is handling himself quite well despite not being able to bend. Bandit has called up a forest of columns, and has taken the fight up in the air."

"Certainly, not the brightest idea for a blind person to be doing."

"That's right John, being that high, an innocent fall will turn deadly.

"Holy jumpin'! The Bandit is like a puppeteer and is moving her hands up and down shoot the columns that her enemies are on, off the arena floor."

"The question is now, how does the Bandit know where her enemies are? Maybe Socks is calling out her shots?"

"I don't know, but it's working. It's now five against two."

"All who remains of the thirty men are Biggola, Jones, Rex, Vojack, and Terry. These men are no doubt the strongest men in the Rumble Pit today."

"This Socks kid is simply amazing, he single-handedly took out Vojack and Terry with a sweeping arm swipe that cut the two of them across the chest. After cutting them he, well not to be too graphic, because children might be listening..."

"Right for the children."

"Right, Socks merely stabs them, the rest you can make up for yourself at home."

"That leaves The Blind Bandit with Biggola and Jones. No, wait, Socks is sprinting towards Jones as Jones approaches the Bandit's blind spot."

"I've never seen a man more angry or faster than this man, ever."

"What used to be a sizable distance from one extreme end to the other of the arena floor has been chewed up by the blazing speed of Socks. He jumps! And strikes Jones in the back with a flying knee kick."

"Holy jumpin' Cao! I've never seen that in my life! That was incredible!"

"Well, let's just say, and oh my goodness! For all that is holy and sacred!"

"He just did that! My oh my is this Socks kids bad ass!"

"Folks, for what I can legally tell of what just took place, I can only tell you the set up and the ending. Socks crossed his sword's points on either side of Jones head. And well..."

"He chopped the bugger's bloody head off! Hahaha! Oh, what a great fight!"

"Thanks Jones, I was doing it easy for the kids, you know, who are listening."

"Kids, as a reminder, do not try this at home. Leave it to the professionals, please."

"A man just died! And, and … and, and you tell kids not to do this at home! That man signs our paychecks."

"Oh, shit."

"Right, oh shit, we are out of a job! … Hehe, sorry about that folks, just having a conversation with John here. Back to the action, with Jones out of the fight, it's now a two vee one."

"Biggola versus Socks and The Blind Bandit."

"Right, and let's not forget the Bandit already beat Biggola and gave him a good thrashing in the process too. The Bandit has encased Biggola in a stone coffin, and Socks points a sword tip at Sammy's exposed neck line."

"It appears that Socks is having a conversation with Sammy. I wonder at what he's saying..."

"Well, it appears the talk is over, and Socks motions the Bandit, which is odd since she can't see."

"Yeah, shouldn't her husband know she can't see body gestures, Cao?"

"I don't know, but what ever the gesture meant she is looking down is disgust."

"Maybe he motioned for Sammy to live and not die?"

"Well the Bandit seems to have regained her composure and blasts Sammy out of the ring."

DING

"Daddy?"

"Yes pumpkin?"

"That was the bestest bed time story ever!" and she threw Sokka into a hug.

"Thanks dear, now go to sleep." Sokka bended back up and wrapped an arm around his wife.

"Yes, Kya, go to sleep. I'll leave the door open for the hall light." they turned to exit the room.

"Daddy?"

"Yes?" he turned around, letting Toph go out into the family room.

"What did you say to Sammy after mommy coffined him?"

"That's for another time." he bent down to kiss Kya on the forehead. "Good night, now go to sleep." he turned and walked out of the room leaving the door ajar for his daughter. "That went well." he plopped down on the couch next to his wife, who cuddled up against him.

"She doesn't know the rest of the story."

"Do you remember how it goes?" Sokka asked as he gazed down into his wife's useless eyes.

"Of course, how could I forget."
