Chapter 4

A/N: The fourth chapter is up.

Thank's to saveg1 for reviewing all chapters of my story. It really means a lot to me.

In the girls room at the training acedemy:

After along time talking Karana,Hadoka and Mai went to sleep. As soon as Karana closed her eyes, she was drown back in the past. She looked around and found herself at a strange place. ' Where am I?' she wondered. Suddenly three little kids came running in her direction screaming:" Kotra!Korra! Korra!" The three kids ran right through her to a young girl that looked a little bit older than herself. Then it hit her: 'Wait. I know this place. That's Air Temple Island!' Karana looked over to the young girl and the three kids. After closly looking at them she knew who they were: Avatar Korra, Ikki, Jinora and Meelo. She sneaked closer to the little group to hear what they were talking:" Korra we are so glad that you are back we missed you so much! How was your trip? Did you have fun? Did you bring us anything with you?" asked Ikki. Her older sister rolled her eyes and tried to hush the younger girl. Korra just smiled happily and replied:" It was good and very relaxing. Oh and of course I brought you something." Then the scene before Karana shifted and she watched from a distance as Avatar Korra was fighting some people. 'People of the metal clan' Karana knew immediately. The fight continued but before she could see who the winner of the fight would be the scene before her shifted again. This time she saw Korra with her three friends patrolling the streets of Republic city. They were talking about their adventures they had together in the last few years. The four friends drove to a restaurantand went in. From their talking, Karana had figured that they were celebrating their victory in a war of the earth kingdom against the fire nation. She wanted to follow them but when she opened the door to the restaurant she was again met with a completly different sight. 'Ugh. This is starting to get annoying! What should this drem mean? It doesn't make sense.' she thought. Karana looked at the scene that was playing infront of her. According to the smell and and the mess and trash that was laying around it was somewhere underground. Team Avatar stood around a table and discussed fighting planes when a man suddenly came in and said:"Avatar Korra. It's about your friend master Jinora. I'm sorry but...

Then Karana was roughly woken up by the morning gong. Slowly she got up and stretched sister and her roommatewere already starting to get dressed. "Morning sis!" greated her younger sister. Mai who was already dressed rushed the two sisters: "Hurry you two or we will be late for breakefast. They are really strict here when it comes to rules." And so after all three girls were ready they quickly rushed to the room were breakefast was held. They took a seat at the last free table and began to eat after their food was served. After a while two boys were brought in by master Opal and were leaded to their table. "Girls, these are Chang and Liang they were just brought in here and because your table is the only free one around here they will sit with you. I hope that's okay?" then she smiled and left the three girls with the two boys alone. "So your names are Chang and Liang. My name is Hadoka and this is my sister Karana and this is our roommate Mai. I'm sure you will find friends here you van be our friend. Tbat would be so cool. Do you bend an element? And when wich one. I'm a water bender..." bubbled Hadoka but the flow of her words were quickly interupted by her sister who were shutting her sisters mouth by holding her hand infront of the younger girls mouth." I'm sorry for my sister she can talk like a waterfall frome time to time. It's nice to meet you." said Karana. "Yeah whatever." said Chang, who was obviosly the older of the two.

Soon the five kids were joined by Mai's brother Ming, who didn't greet them very friendly, just like Chang and Liang did before. And while Karana decided that the three boys were jerks, she saw that her sister were getting along pretty well with them. Well at least with Liang because soon both of them were chatting happily with each other.

Soon breakefast was over and every student went to go to their own respective classes with one of the five masters. When Karana entered the room where the earth bending classes were held, she was stunned at first. There were about twenty students in the room, standing or sitting in small groups and chatting whith each other. 'Wow. I've never seen so earthbenders in one place before.' she thought. Because,although her village was in the earth kingdom, there didn't live so much earth benders. Suddenly she was ripped out of her thoughts by a male voice behind her: "Hey Karana! Nice to see you here." She turned around and saw the boy from the brakefast table before. "If you don't remember my name is Liang. I was brought here with my older brother Chang. I was talking to your sister before." he said after he saw the bewildred look in her face. Karana let out a sigh of realization. When master Opal introduced the boys to her she didn't take a closer look at them.

Now that she looked at him closer she realized that he was a handsome looking young boy with brown hair that was stilled similar to Avatar Aangs hair when he was hiding in the fire nation during the great war. He had brown eyes that had the colour of molten chocloate. He was very strong built and looked like he already had a lot of professional training. With a shake of her head she scared this thoughts away. He looked like he was one year younger than her and besides she had sworn to never fall in love with a boy. She didn't want her heart to be broken like that of her friends back home. They all fell in love and later got their hearts broken by the boys they fell for. And it always was Karana's job to comfort them after that.

"Good morning students. I hope you slept well and had a good breakefast because today's training lesson will be hard. Very hard. Besides we have two new students here: Karana and Liang." said master Bolin while walking into the training room. He wore a uniform that looked like the old training uniform of the fire ferrets.

After the master explained everything to them, they began to train. At first they were learning to fight against each other. After that came fighting lessons against Non-benders then water benders then air benders and then fire benders. Fighting against the water benders was hard especially against Karana's little sister. Because of her ability to create water out of nowhere she was nearly unbeatable and beated her older sister every time.

When the training part of the day was over annd the free time part came, Karana, Hadoka and Mai sat on the roof of one of the buildings and talked to each other about their day. "I learned a lot of new tricks today. Master Eska is such a good teacher." spoke Hadoka. "My day was also Opal said that my air bending skills are improving and that I am soon ready for more difficult air bending technices." explained Mai her day. "And how was your day?" asked both girls simultanously. "Oh. Just perfect. Master Bolin said that I'm a natural talent at earthbending. He even said that I could start training firebending parralel to earthbending." said Karana in a hushed whisper. The three girls continued talking about their day.

Meanwhile on another rooftop there sat Chang, Ming and Liang. The boys had grown close over the day and were developing a friendship, just like that of the girls over the day. "Tomorow we have combo lessons. In these lessons we learn to make combat attacks together with other elements. It's a great teamwork training but very hard to learn." explained Ming to the other two boys.

Chang and Liang were very interested in the training methods and technices that were tought here. So they asked Ming to explain it to them. At first he found it a little bit strange because no one really asked about the training methods and technics here but after a while of talking about it he just figured tht they were students who love to learn. And soon when the ice broke they were excitedly talking about the best defense and fight technicesthey knew.

At midnight at the academy's libary:

"So we have found the Avatar and she already know how to bend earth and fire and whith her was the special child Hadoka who can create water out of nowhere. That's great that means that we only have to find two more special childs, since we already have Mai who can talk to animals and Ming who can let enemies feel their darkest fear with just looking at them." said master Eska.

"Great who are we gonna find the other two?" replied master Opal. "That's a good question. We should look closly at every student and look if somebody of them acts strange." replied master Mako. " Let's do it! But let's do it tomorrow because I'm really tired and tomorrow is a gonna be a rough day." said master Bolin. And so the masters departed, everyone of them in their own room to prepare their fighting lessons for tomorrow.

The Book of Bending

Chapter 3: Fighting Combos:

Fire and Earth:

Fire and Earth combos are very effectfull. With a lot of training the benders van throw burning rocks. But if the benders are just beginners then they can start with learning to back each other up in a fight with their respective elements. Then, when they are intermediates they will learn how to combinate their element. What you need to make this combo: One earth and one fire bender, of course there can be more of them working together but that's only something for the real pros. Atacks and fighting possibilities: Burning rocks: Earthbender bends rocks in the air and firebender fires fire on them in order to get them to burn. Then the earthbender bends those rocks at their attacker. Jumping attacks: The earthbender bends an earth ramp under the firebender which the last one uses to jump in the air and attack the enemies with fire blasts from high in the air. Attacks from differwnt directions: On of the two benders attacks the enemies with attacks against their heads and upper body while the other one goes for his feet and other body parts. This is very usefull because the enemy can't dodge two elements at the same time. Other attacks: If the attacks of the attacker get to hard then the earthbender has to rise an earthwall in order to protect himself and the firebender. Both benders attack alternatly from their cover. This is a easy attack method but very effectful. Of course there are a lot of other attacks of this combo. You will find them in another chapter.

Earth and Water:

Another very good amd useful combo. The waterbender bends the water in the air and the earhbender bends stones in it then the waterbender bends the water at the attacker. This attack was often used by the pro-bending team The Wolf Bats to defeat the rival teams. Water and earth are very hard elements, especiallyin combo. The waterbender can frieze his opponment and then the earthbender launches a very hard rock at him. With earth and water you can beat everybody when one of the benders holds the enemie back with his bending and the other one strikes a powerfull attack at the enemy and knocks him out woth it. There are not many water earth combo attacks but some of them are described in other chapters of this book.

Characters:

Karana:

A nice young 15- year old girl with brown hair and brown eyes. Her hair is similar stilled like that from Azula. Her younger sister Hadoka is a waterbender. She finds out that she is the Avatar somehow( I will write that in some chapter.) and can already bend fire and earth. At first she doesn't like Chang and Liang bit they will be friends in the has a personality like Korra and Aang combined, she can be very goofy from time to time but mostly she acts like every teenager in her age. Her parents died in an attack at her village. Or not? After she was found by master Mako and master Bolin she and her sister were brought to the fire ferret training academy, where she and her sister now live.

Hadoka:

She is a very cheerfull and happy 14- year old girl with the same brown hair like her sister, the only difference is that her hair looks like that of avatar Korra when her hair is open, and summer-sky blue eyes. Hadoka befriends everyone very easily and can talk like a waterfall from time to time. She also lives, just like her sister at the training special power is that she can create water out of nowwhere on any place in the world.

Ming and Mai:

The 15-year old twin children of airbending master Jinora are completly opposites. Mai has brown hair stiled like her aunt Ikki and the same brown eyes like her mother and she is an airbender. She is friendly to everyone and a good child, but sometimes she gets really annoying especially when she wants everyone to follow the rules. Her special power is that she can talk to every animal. Ming is a little bit older than his sister. He has the same brown hair like her, stilled like that of Fire Lord Zuko when he was a teenager, but his eyes are grey and he is a non-bender. He is very suspicious when it comes to people which is why he doesn't have so many special power is that he can make people feel their deepest fears and nightmares by just looking at them. The twins never knew their father and when they were still very young their mother was killed in a raid. Ever since then they were raised by the five masters at the training academy.
